The lunch meal was more wild vegetables and a few pieces of yellow eel tofu.

This tofu must be bought in the village from the village school, and the pedant Hun family has a hand in cooking, and there are some red grains in the yellow eel meat.

This meal in the mountains has once again improved the hard mountain life, and I am full of happiness.

After lunch, Guo Xuejiu personally went down to the field to recite the Book of Filial Piety to Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue remembered that there were two sentences in the "Three Character Classic" that he wrote to Zhang Qiu.

'To be a scholar, there must be a beginning. At the end of primary school, to the fourth book'.

'Filial piety, four books are familiar. If you have six classics, you can only read them'.

This is the order of the Song people's education. However, the Northern Song Dynasty did not have the concept of four books.

Confucianism believes that the older the book, the better, and the age is the 'classic'. Confucius's "Analects" and the "Book of Filial Piety" written by Confucius, although they are not classics at this time, they are not sub-books like "Mencius", and their status has been opposite to that of classics.

Just as the ancients made the difference between elementary school and university in the reading of the Bible. Only after reading the Book of Filial Piety thoroughly can you attack the Six Classics.

If Zhang Yue himself can't know the scriptures of filial piety, he will write 'The scriptures of filial piety are passed, and the four books are familiar.' If you read the Six Classics, you can only read it', isn't it a slap in the face?

When Guo Xue taught Zhang Yue's "Book of Filial Piety", Guo Lin sat aside. In Guo Lin's words, he can keep track of the progress of teaching at any time.

"Sir, I have heard Guo Lin recite the Book of Filial Piety yesterday, and today I want to learn Shuyi first!"

Zhang Yue saw Guo Xuexue's lips twitch.

Guo Xuezhi said gently: "Shuyi is not in a hurry, today I should take apart the Book of Filial Piety and memorize it, and you will recite it in three chapters and three chapters, for a total of six days, you can memorize the Book of Filial Piety, and then talk about Shuyi." ”

Six days of memorization, one day is more than 300 words, Guo Xuezhi is in accordance with Ouyang Xiu's 'middle talent' progress to teach himself.

Generally speaking, where the gentleman talks to the students about this, what he teaches and what the students learn, he is not allowed to have two words, let alone object, and if he asks more, he will be kicked out of the school.

But Zhang Yue still said resolutely: "Sir, I don't know the meaning, I really can't carry it." ”

Guo Lin on the side made a quick look.

Guo Xuezhi said patiently: "Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning can be seen by itself, and it is not in a hurry to sparse righteousness." ”

Zhang Yue said: "Sir, after Guo Lin taught me yesterday, I have read it a hundred times in my dreams!" ”

Guo Xuezhu laughed dryly and said: "Very good, then I will teach you the Book of Filial Piety." ”

said here Guo Xuexue Zhengse said: "The holy kings of the past dynasties have ruled the world with filial piety, and they are setting an example for the future." Why do students who are new to the scriptures have to start from the Book of Filial Piety, and first the Classics of Filial Piety. Just like the upper beam of this house, the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, so filial piety is the foundation. ”

But seeing Zhang Yue said: "The students think this is negotiable. ”

Guo Xuezhu was dumbfounded when he heard this, Zhang Yue actually opposed filial piety as the foundation.

But seeing Zhang Yueyan, he said: "Confucianism governs the country and the world with self-cultivation, and filial piety lies in the Qi family, but not in self-cultivation, how can it be called fundamental?" ”

"So how is the foundation of self-cultivation? Why don't you go to the Buddha and find it in metaphysics? Guo Xuezhi asked rhetorically.

Zhang Yue said: "As Mr. said, self-cultivation is the study of life, and the sage never talks about the study of life, while the Buddha and metaphysics all talk about the study of life." ”

The study of life, the sex of the ancient text is not next to the vertical heart but next to the words, and it is also the nature that people are born with.

"What is the study of life? Born is called sex, exhausting reason is called life, 'at the beginning of man, nature is good', and exhausting his reason is called 'life'. “

"In the University of Rites, those who want to join their families should cultivate their bodies first, and those who want to gather their families should cultivate their bodies first. Those who want to cultivate their bodies must first correct their hearts. Those who want to correct their hearts must first be sincere. Therefore, scholars should take righteousness and sincerity and knowledge as the foundation of their lives. ”

Guo Xue, Guo Lin was dumbfounded.

Although the level of scripture in their minds is a hundred times that of Zhang Yue, when it comes to reasoning and debate, where is Zhang Yue's opponent, so they have no way to refute it.

Zhang Yue said: "For example, today's morale is common to cut shares and serve relatives, so that it is popular for a while, and it is regarded as unfilial piety if people do not cut shares, and reluctantly do it, which is not the way of sincerity." ”

"In addition, the filial piety manager has a cloud, 'the body is skinny, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it, and the beginning of filial piety is also.'" It means that the body hair and skin are damaged, not only their own pain, but also their parents will be sad, so as to understand the meaning of their parents' hard work. Instead of not cutting hair and shaving, this move has filial piety but no filial piety, and loses the foundation of sincerity. ”

Zhang Yue also understood that if ordinary pedants heard Zhang Yue say this, they would be scolded and angry at best, and they would be expelled from the school.

But Guo Xuezhu hesitated for a moment and said: "If you answer like this, the examiner will not take you, or will you come up according to the book." ”

This time it was Zhang Yue's turn to be taken aback, he tried the bottom line like this? Still didn't make the pedant change his face.

Zhang Yue had no choice but to say: "Mr. is right, please also ask Mr. to explain the meaning slowly, so that students can understand the way of the first king." ”

Guo Xuexue first taught Zhang Yue to recite first and then explain the sparse meaning, but after listening to Zhang Yue's shocking words, he changed his mind, first taught him the truth of being a man from the sparse meaning, corrected it, and then silently studied the scriptures. In Guo Xuexue's eyes, the conduct of students is far more important than the system.

The sparse meaning of the Book of Filial Piety was annotated by Tang Xuanzong himself, and everyone who read this edition reads it.

Guo Xuexue took great pains to explain the Book of Filial Piety from beginning to end, hoping to use the words of the sages and simpler explanations to subtly correct Zhang Yue's deviation.

But after seeing that Zhang Yue listened without saying a word, he said to Guo Xuexue again: "Thank you Mr. for explaining, the student asked Mr. to give him a book, and he will learn words while reading." ”

Guo Xueji saw that Zhang Yue once again violated his intentions, and read the book first without waiting for the recitation of the Book of Filial Piety, and still said gently: "The merit of learning lies in accumulating silk into inches, accumulating inches into rulers, and the size is endless, so it becomes a horse." Do not be lazy, nor be greedy and chew too much. ”

Guo Lin on the side couldn't look at it and said: "Senior Brother Zhang, before you have memorized the "Book of Filial Piety", you can't borrow a book to read. ”

Zhang Yue smiled at this and said, "Sir, after listening to your explanation, the student has memorized the scriptures. ”

"What?" Guo Xue and Guo Lin were surprised.

It takes six days for Zhongcai to memorize more than 2,000 words of filial piety. It took 12 days to go down, and even if it was a 'talent' like Guo Lin, it took 3 days.

Zhang Yue memorized it in one day and one night?

"Don't talk nonsense as a scholar!" Guo Xuexue's face sank, "Whether or not the book can be memorized is a personal talent and understanding, and it is reluctant at all, but sincerity and insincerity are the foundation of people!" ”

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Sir, I heard that when you first taught Senior Brother Guo, you made a mistake, you can't eat a meal, you made a mistake in two words, and you are not allowed to eat for a day." Students memorize it in class, and if they make a mistake, it is also common. ”

"Thou hast spoken thyself...... From the first chapter 'Zhong Niju, Zeng Zishi'! "No matter how good Guo Xue's temper is, he is also a little angry.

Zhang Yue nodded confidently: "Zhong Niju, Zeng Zishi." Zi said: "The first king has the most virtuous way, so as to obey the ...... of the world"

It didn't take long for Zhang Yue to recite more than 2,000 words of the full text of the Book of Filial Piety...... The fly in the ointment is that I memorized three words wrong.

At this moment, Zhang Yue looked at his left hand, then at his right hand, and suddenly gave himself two mouths...... It's okay to tell you to pretend to be forced!

And Guo Xuexue returned to his house and lent the Book of Filial Piety to Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yuejian's book is very preciously wrapped in silk cloth, and the side pages are not folded at all. Before leaving, Guo Xuexue repeatedly advised: "Pen, ink, paper, and books, cherish them earnestly." ”

"Yes, sir." Zhang Yue replied seriously.

Zhang Yue held the book and put it on the cedar table, and suddenly remembered something.

He asked Guo Lin on the side: "This room has two beds and two tables, did Mr. teach a student before me?" ”

Guo Lin nodded and said, "There is one person who left two years ago." ”

"Why did you leave?"

Guo Lin said: "He used to be a talented and intelligent person and was also very diligent, but after failing in the county school examination a few years ago, he refused to study hard, and he refused to work weekdays. One day, my father couldn't see it anymore and said a few words to him. He was so angry that he never came again, and said a lot of ugly things to his father when he left. ”

Dad also regretted whether he had spoken too hard. With his qualifications, if he studies diligently for two years, he can penetrate the scriptures and literature, and then he will be able to take the county school examination again, and he can even become a township talent. ”

"I see." Zhang Yue seems to understand something, Guo Xuezhi is unwilling to say anything serious to the students, is it because of this?

"Senior Brother Zhang, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not?"

"As long as it's not an MMP, you can talk about it."

"Senior Brother Zhang, what did you say?"

"I mean, Senior Brother Guo just speak."

Guo Lin said in a thoughtful tone: "Can you not sleep day and night, Daddy doesn't like it every time I see it......"

Guo Lin was afraid that Zhang Yue would be angry, so he hurriedly said: "Brother Zhang, I have memorized the filial piety for three days, but you have only memorized it for one day, which is really powerful, and it is more than ten times stronger than me." Today, I see that when you memorized the Book of Filial Piety, my father didn't say it, but he was also very happy in his heart. ”

"With your talents, it may be a little difficult to get into the science department, but if you go to the science department, you will definitely be on the list. Of course, you have to work hard, and you must not fish for three days and cast your net for two days. Without a diligent word, no matter how good the talent is, it will be buried, just like my senior brother. ”

Zhang Yue looked at Guo Lin with mixed feelings in his heart, changed his position in Guo Lin, and saw such a person in his classmates, his first reaction was jealousy rather than happiness.

"Thank you Senior Brother for your kindness," Zhang Yue thought for a moment, "but I can't change it day and night." ”

"Just when I didn't say it," Guo Lin lowered his head, "Senior Brother Zhang, you don't have to be smart, although I am not as talented as you, but as long as I work hard, I can use you for three days, so you will not be as good as mine in the future, do you believe it?" ”

Facing Guo Lin with a serious face, Zhang Yue nodded and said, "I believe it." ”

Guo Lin seemed to have punched into the air, and he couldn't provoke Zhang Yue at all, so he lowered his head sullenly and copied the book.

"Senior brother?"

"Senior Brother Guo?"

Zhang Yue asked tentatively, but Guo Lin ignored it completely.

That's going to make you angry. Zhang Yue shook his head.

Zhang Yue also stopped talking, and began to copy the Book of Filial Piety. This copying of the scriptures must be done calmly, if you copy a wrong word, it will be bad in case you get the test in the future.

"Senior Brother Guo......" Zhang Yue suddenly spoke again.

Guo Lin raised his head and looked at Zhang Yue.

"I'll lend me that hungry stone tonight, okay?"

The next day, Zhang Yue was woken up by the noisy sounds of the boys.

Zhang Yue walked to the window to look, but saw a sturdy boy running against the morning breeze with a sturdy one, while another boy behind him was crying and chasing over there with his bare buttocks, and a small noodle was thrown around in the air.

Just when he got up and had nowhere to vent, Zhang Yue walked out and said loudly to the naughty boy who took off his pants and ran wildly: "Quick, quick, give me your pants!" Otherwise, they will chase him. ”

The naughty boy ran to Zhang Yue with a grin, and was about to hand his pants to Zhang Yue. saw Zhang Yue twist his backhand, lifted him up and scolded: "It's still messing around early in the morning!" I don't let people sleep! ”

"Your mother dares to lie to Lao Tzu." The naughty boy was about to scold, but he saw Zhang Yue twist and said, "Scold me for taking off your pants again." ”

"You dare to ...... When Lao Tzu grows up, he must stick his fingers in his nostrils. ”

"It seems that you haven't done this on weekdays, so what am I waiting for? Flick it with your fingers first. ”

The naughty boy hurriedly covered it and said with a smile: "Big brother, I'm messing with you...... No, I know wrong. ”

"Know it's wrong?"

"Wrong."

"Be louder."

"I was wrong."

Zhang Yue said with a calm face: "Hmph, next time you dare to disturb me to sleep, play fifty times on the left and right!" ”

The naughty boy couldn't help but shrink down: "Big brother." Don't dare next time. ”

After the urchin begged for mercy, Zhang Yue returned the pants to another boy.

"Thanks, big brother." The boy had a runny nose and said gratefully.

Zhang Yue nodded and said, "Wait." ”

After speaking, Zhang Yue walked back to the hut, took out a few red dates that he bought in the village yesterday and gave them to the boy and said, "Eat, don't cry." ”

"Brother Xie."

Zhang Yue looked at the naughty boy who was staring at the red dates on the side, took out some red dates from his pocket and said, "Come and get them." ”

"Good!" The naughty boy held his hands together, and Zhang Yue took it back and said, "You must first promise me not to bully people in the future." ”

"Good!"

"That's good!" Zhang Yue smiled and distributed the remaining red dates to the two boys.

Guo Xue on the side, Guo Lin laughed when he saw it. Guo Lin said: "The boys in these village schools are all cunning and foolish, but I didn't expect Senior Brother Zhang to have a hand to cure them." ”

Guo Xueyu nodded happily and said, "It would be nice if I studied more diligently." ”

"He'll understand, Daddy." Guo Lin said.

Zhang Yue clapped his hands, but saw the fence door open.

A young man of nearly twenty years old walked in, and the two boys glanced at each other, and hurried away and went straight to the hut.
