Chapter XXVIII

In this way, Zhang Yue settled down in the family science, although it was a little difficult to adapt to it a few days ago, but after staying for a long time, he gradually got used to it, and even liked it a little.

For example, a dry meal at noon every day in the family study is enough to make Zhang Yue full of expectations from the bottom of his heart before going to bed the night before.

On this day, Zhang Yue was copying books, and saw the ministry going up to the library and preparing to sort out the books. Zhang Yue put down his pen and asked Ying to come forward to help. The ministry did not object when he saw it, and Zhang Yue helped him.

Zhang Yue looked at a room full of classics and said in his heart, this is all money! No wonder the story has its own golden house.

"Dare to ask the ministry, is it divided according to the subset of scriptures and histories?"

The ministry nodded and said, "Yes! ”

After finishing the ministry, he sat aside, took a book and read it himself, as if the old God was there.

Zhang Yue originally came to help, but he became the main force of the officer.

Zhang Yue didn't say a word, and put the books in different categories one by one at the same time, if it is really the ethnology of the children of the world, this room full of books can be borrowed at will, and the treatment is really much higher than that of Guo Xuezhu's borrowing books to read.

The Nine Classics are all supervised before the Qingli Dynasty, and this edition is of the best quality, carefully proofed, corrected, and can be called a rare book.

In addition to this, there are many handwritten books, all of which were pre-Tang Dynasty. There was no printing in the Tang Dynasty, so the book was copied by the bookmaker, so the bookseller proofread it himself.

The people who owned the book collection were generally highly educated and proficient in proofreading, so their handwritten books were of better quality than the printed ones, after repeated surveys.

Such ancient books can be called priceless in future generations. I also understood why the ministry kept them like thieves.

This scholar stealing a book is not considered stealing, but can it be regarded as stealing? No wonder at the end of the book, there is a Lu Xun standing. Zhang Yue sorted out the books while taking advantage of this effort to go through each book.

When sorting out, Zhang Yue saw that the ministry originally placed Mencius not in the subcategory but in the scripture, so he asked: "Ministry, Mencius should be a scripture or a son?" ”

"Do you say you should return to the scriptures or to the son?" The ministry asked rhetorically.

The sooner the chapter sees that this ministry is a good conversation, and it should not be taken lightly. Zhang Yue remembered Mencius's theory, which he had discussed with Chen Shengzhi in the courtyard of the Wei Mansion of Peng County.

Zhang Yue said in his heart, since the ministry puts Mencius in the scriptures, it must respect Mengzi.

So Zhang Yue said: "The kid thinks that Mencius's words are strong and strong, and he can respect the scriptures." ”

"Oh? How to be vigorous? ”

Zhang Yue took Chen Shengzhi's words that day and now learned and sold them, and said something.

At the beginning of the ministry, he was a little surprised, but then his expression turned pale, and when Zhang Yue finished speaking, he sneered: "The boy is not ashamed, you are hearsay, have you read Mencius?" ”

Mencius was not among the Nine Classics, and he believed that Zhang Yue, a poor scholar, would not have read books that were not used for the imperial examination.

Zhang Yue said suddenly: "If you don't believe in the ministry, forget it." ”

"Then I'll test you!"

"Ask the Ministry to ...... Freely"

Looking at Zhang Yue's smile, the ministry felt as if he had underestimated the young man.

After Zhang Yue easily recited Mencius, the ministry was already believed. He said, "You can't even memorize the Nine Classics, why do you memorize Mencius?" ”

"It's still that sentence, how the teachings of Confucius are kind to the teachers, the words are like a spring breeze, but the teachings of Mencius make people wake up, and the back of reading is cold."

In fact, Zhang Yue's words are understood now, Confucius seems to be a virtuous teacher, and he usually reasoned with you. But many people can't listen to such a big truth, and someone has to scold you to listen to it.

It's like reading "Kong Yiji", "The True Story of Ah Q", it was funny to watch when I was young, and after I have a certain experience, I won't feel a chill in my back when I read it again? Can't sleep in the middle of the night?

Zhang Yue said: "The road is not good, take the pole to float in the sea, this is a saint." But if it is Mencius, he will be scolded when he sees it, and he will not look like a human king! ”

"Without further ado, it's sorted out?" Zhang Yue was talking about Xingtou, but the ministry closed the book at hand.

What a quirky little old man. Zhang Yue secretly commented in his heart.

It's true that the books are almost organized, but since you want to do things, you have to do things clearly.

"There's some dust on the cabinet, I'll wipe it on the floor, it's dusty here, you can sit downstairs in the ministry."

After speaking, Zhang Yue picked up a duster and rag from the corner and sorted them out. He can do these things to tidy up, but he is too lazy not to tidy up the room on weekdays, until the adults at home can't see it. Zhang Yue started to clean up at this time, and every time he cleaned up, he must be tidy and tidy.

But after ten days and half a month, the house became a kennel again.

The ministry frowned, and muttered when Zhang Yue went downstairs to help, "I think when you can arrive?" ”

After eating, Zhang Yue tidied up for another hour, and he was so busy that he was sweating profusely. Fortunately, the upstairs of the book is almost tidyed.

The ministry glanced at it, didn't say anything, locked the door easily, looked like a matter of course, didn't even say a word of thanks, and completely treated Zhang Yue as a free laborer.

Zhang Yue said: "Ministry, I see that there is still a lack of a bibliography in the library, and after having a bibliography, those who borrow books can find books according to the bibliographic index, saving a lot of effort." ”

"Others save effort, but the old man doesn't have that much effort, so what's the matter?" The ministry glanced at Zhang Yue and said.

"It's not that difficult, boy, do it while you're free! Of course, it's too late today, so I'll write tomorrow. ”

"Yes." The ministry spat out a word and walked away.

The next day, Zhang Yue went to the study building again, and the ministry gave him a blank book. Zhang Yue went up to the book building and copied all the books on the bibliography. In this way, Zhang Yue wrote for a long time, and in the afternoon he was called by Xuelu to sort out the Xuetian account book, and after being busy for almost an hour, he returned to the book building and continued to sort out the bibliography.

On the third day, the two brothers went to Nanfeng Courtyard.

Guo Lin said seriously: "You have been busy tidying up the library for the past few days, and you haven't copied many books, but I helped you copy them yesterday, otherwise you won't be able to get home after dark." Why do you do so much for a ministry? ”

Zhang Yue smiled when he heard this, but didn't say anything.

On this day, Zhang Yue finished copying the book, and his words were not as good as Guo Lin, so the courtyard arranged more things for Guo Lin, so Zhang Yue did have fewer things at hand.

So Zhang Yue asked the ministry, took the key, and went upstairs to sort out the bibliography. The ministry saw Zhang Yue and was relieved to give him the key to open the door. Zhang Yue was busy for a long time, and then he copied the books in the entire study room by category.

When Zhang Yue handed over a copy of the "Bibliography of the Dayjin Hall" to the ministry, the ministry smiled faintly and said, "It's neatly written." Okay, it's none of your business for now, I'll tell you later! ”

The ministry thought that Zhang Yue would not have much to do from now on, but Zhang Yue said again: "Ministry, the books in and out of the hall have been used for a long time, and they have been borrowed but not borrowed, and they have not been borrowed to write and borrowed." I would like to write another one for a detailed ......"

"Wait," the ministry squinted at Zhang Yue and said, "Say, what do you have to ask the old man?" ”

"What's the matter? Could it be that the kid is doing something bad? Zhang Yue pretended to be confused.

The minister snorted and said, "No, you have done a good job, and you have almost done almost all the old man's errands, if you don't make it clear, I suspect that you are plotting the old man's errand!" This idle errand, the old man has to do it for a few more years. ”

It's a great job, I can't take it myself.

The ministry said lightly: "Say something quickly, the old man is the most tired of grinding people." ”

Zhang Yue smiled innocently: "The ministry is really as wise as a torch. To tell you the truth, I want to borrow a book from the ministry to read in addition to copying books every day. It's in this library, and it's not going to take it out. ”

The ministry heart said, it turns out that this son has done so many things every day, and what he asks for is for this, and I return the word to him as he wills. Although it used some scheming, it was not to go astray, but it was also commendable.

The ministry looked Zhang Yue up and down and said, "It's rare that you have this desire to learn, but how much effort can you put into reading besides copying books every day?" ”

Of course, after reading it on the spot, I went home and fell asleep and memorized it.

Zhang Yue originally wanted to make a very encouraging look on his face and said, although there is not much time, but if you can read for a moment, you will have a moment of benefit, and if you can read half a moment, you will have the benefit of half a moment.

But when I think about it, I am suspected of selling miserably. So Zhang Yue said cautiously: "It doesn't take too long, just take a look at random." ”

"Random?" The ministry raised his face and said, "How can reading be said to be casual? ”

Zhang Yue heard the sound outside the strings, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for the ministry correction, then the kid must read it carefully." ”

Zhang Yue said in his heart, you haven't been reading a book in the sun on the side of the pavilion door all day long, cut.

The ministry continued to say with a straight face: "The word "careful" is not a random word, what books you read every day, you have to make it clear to me, I will have to take the test at that time, if you can't say it clearly, the old man will not lend you books in the future." ”

The more Zhang looked at the ministry like this, and suddenly the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this little old man looked more and more similar to someone in the textbook.

So Zhang Yue began to copy books in the book building and rub books on the other.

After Guo Lin found out, he said to him earnestly: "There are some junior brothers that you and I can't ask for, don't waste your efforts, it's important to be content with your duties." ”

Zhang Yue said: "Senior brother, where do you want to go, I just want to borrow books to read." ”

Guo Lin shook his head and said nothing.

The ministry man continued to be cold, but he was no longer as wary of thieves as he had been at the beginning.

But here Zhang Yue still continues to help the ministry deal with the errand of the library, if the ministry does not agree to borrow books, it will not be lazy, and things need to be done from the beginning to the end.

At the same time, Zhang Yue also used the daily money to buy some vegetables and fruits from Guo Xuexue's village and give them to the ministry, and only said to him that they were grown in his own fields. Over there, you have to settle accounts for Xuelu.

And copied the book for a month, under Zhang Yue's diligent practice day and night, the words finally look a little better, and this progress is only known to himself. Although there is not much growth, Zhang Yue knows that calligraphy is still better than the long stream.

One day, the ministry brought them a food table, and the two of them had a much better life, and finally they no longer had to eat in the pavilion.

As for every three or five days, the ministry will also ask Zhang Yue about his experience in reading books in these days.

Zhang Yue said it truthfully, and of course he would add a lot of his own opinions. The ministry will also listen to it mercilessly, and sometimes there will be times for serious reflection.

However, the ministry never said a word about Zhang Yue's opinion, nor did he ask anything to hear it. Zhang Yue should only find someone to review his homework.
