Chapter 55 Endorsement
"Oh, but what I just said is serious, if the second brother is really better at reading than me, I won't read it, let it be left to the second brother" Xu Xian said to himself.
When Xu Xuan heard Xu Xian's words, he couldn't help but smile, this Xu Xian really deserves to be a good man. But sometimes, thinking about things is a little simple, even if he Xu Xian is willing and Li Gongfu is willing, will his eldest sister agree? Moreover, he Xu Xuan would not agree, what he learned from Cheng Fang was far more than what he learned in the academy.
At this time, Xu Jiaorong had already prepared a meal, because Xu Xuan and Xu Xian were still young, the spirits could not be drunk, but Xu Jiaorong's home-brewed rice wine, Xu Xuan ate two bowls, although the degree of this rice wine was not large, but Xu Xuan drank it, his head was already a little dizzy,
After everyone finished eating, Xu Jiaorong had already come out with a quilt in her arms, and said to Xu Xuan with a smile, "Second brother, let's live at your brother-in-law's house tonight, our family hasn't lived in a long time, such a big yard, living alone is weirdly deserted." But your brother-in-law's family is no better than ours, I'm afraid you will have to squeeze with Xu Xian tonight. ”
Xu Xuan heard Xu Jiaorong say this, and also took the futon with a smile, "Since my sister has already arranged it, I might as well be respectful, but it's just to disturb the third brother."
Xu Xian smiled shyly, took the mattress and pillow from Xu Xuan's arms, and said, "What did the second brother say, we didn't sleep together when we were children, where are there so many things, but I have to study my homework at night, but the second brother is afraid that he won't be able to sleep well,"
After that, walking towards his room, Xu Xuan hugged the quilt, remembering that he had just arrived in this world and was squeezed on a bed with Xu Xian, Xu Jiaorong sewed clothes for the two brothers in front of this bed, sighed leisurely, and followed Xu Xian quickly.
"Jiaorong, don't guard against Xu Xuan everywhere in the future" Li Gongfu didn't know when, stood behind Xu Jiaorong, and said in a low voice.
"What did you say? Where am I guarding against my second brother? He's my brother too, right? I seem to be targeting the second brother everywhere for you" Xu Jiaorong glared back at Li Gongfu, and her right hand had already landed on Li Gongfu's arm.
According to what happened to Li Gongfu in the past, Xu Jiaorong's fingers would twist 180 degrees clockwise. Normally, at this time, Li Gongfu would retreat in the face of difficulties, but today Li Gongfu gently opened Xu Jiaorong's hand. said to himself, "Jiaorong, your Xu family can't rely on the third brother, you can also see his reading results, basically the tail in the school, but the second brother is different, don't look at him and Xu Xian the same age, now in Qingyutang, he has begun to treat people, and his achievements in the future will definitely be above Xu Xian." ”
Xu Jiaorong listened to Li Gongfu's words, and suddenly her eyebrows rose, and she reached out angrily and pinched Li Gongfu's ears, "Li Gongfu, what did you say?" I Xu Jiaorong is not good, and I will not deliberately exclude the second brother because of the third brother, both of them are my Xu Jiaorong's younger brothers, where can you be a brother-in-law like this,"
"Hey, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, Jiaorong, let go, let go" Li Gongfu hurriedly covered his ears and begged for mercy, but Xu Jiaorong ignored Li Gongfu, pulled his ears, and went straight to the bedroom.
But said that Xu Xuan followed Xu Xian back to the house, Xu Xian lit the oil lamp in the house, people in this era, candles are still a few luxury people's supplies, ordinary people, most of them are reluctant to use a day's meal money, buy this kind of thing, besides, the candles of this era are not as clean as the candles made of petroleum compounds in later generations, and when lit, there is still a lot of smoke. Therefore, most of the people in this era still use the kind of rapeseed oil as fuel oil lamps.
As the flame of the oil lamp slowly became larger, the room gradually brightened, Xu Xuan had already propped up the futon on this bed, and when he looked back, Xu Xian was sitting at the table at this time, holding a book to make up for the firelight, and slowly studying, "The king said: "The widow is sick, and the widow is lustful." He said: "The king of the past is lustful and loves concubines. When it is, there is no resentment inside, and there is no absent husband outside. If the king is lustful, and he is with the people, what is there to the king?"
After reading, Xu Xian took out a copper coin and silently recited "Wang said: "The widow is sick, the widow is lustful......" is not enough just a beginning, but Xu Xian can't remember the sentence behind it, so he hurriedly opened the book and read the sentence behind, "The king of the past is lustful, and he loves the concubine. When it is, there is no resentment inside, and there is no absent husband outside. If the king is lustful, and he is with the people, what is there for the king?"
With a "clanging" sound, the copper coin in Xu Xian's hand was thrown into the tea bowl on the table, making a crisp sound.
Xu Xian opened the book, read it in a low voice several times, then there was a closed book, and began to memorize it again, such as three or four times, when Xu Xian recited "the widow has a disease and the widow is lustful," and finally stuck again, just wanted to turn the book, only to hear that Xu Xuan, who was already lying on the bed, had already memorized it, "The former king is lustful, and he loves concubines. When it is, there is no resentment inside, and there is no absent husband outside. If the king is lustful, and he is with the people, what is there for the king?"
After reciting this sentence, Xu Xuan continued, "Learn from Mencius and say that King Qi Xuan said: 'The king's minister, if he entrusts his wife to his friend, and the Chu traveler, compared to him, will freeze his wife, what is the same?' The king said, "Abandon it." He said, 'If a judge cannot rule a judge, what is it?' The king said, "It is done." He said, "If there is no cure within the four realms, what will it be?" The king looked at him left and right. ”
Xu Xian had already dropped the book on the table at this time, he heard his sister say that Xu Xuan was just enlightened now, but listening to Xu Xuan's skillful recitation, Xu Xian was already stunned.
Xu Xuan sighed, "I said, second brother, this endorsement is not such rote memorization by you, do you know what the words 'the widow is sick, and the widow is lustful' mean?" ”
Xu Xian blushed, he was going to help Xu Xuan learn the scriptures, but in the blink of an eye, Xu Xuan had already memorized these, and instead came to teach him, but he was a real person, although he was embarrassed, he also shook his head, "This is what Mr. said today, and he didn't give us an explanation, but let us memorize it first."
Xu Xuan shook his head, this teacher is irresponsible and doesn't explain to students, how can people carry it? Compared to this, my teacher is really much better. I thought that I could memorize half of it after listening to the teacher's lecture once, which shows how important a good teacher is.
In order to let Xu Xian end this kind of half-effort thing, and also to be able to sleep tonight, Xu Xuan immediately said, "The meaning of this sentence is this, King Qi Xuan said, I have a problem with myself, that is, I like women." When Mencius Yasheng heard this, he replied that it was not a fault to love women, and that in the past, Gu Gongfu, the grandfather of King Wen of Zhou, was very lascivious and loved his concubine very much. But he was very diligent in government, at that time, both men and women could marry in a timely manner, there were no older unmarried resentful women, no older unmarried husbands outside, and the common people could live a normal married life. While you, King Qi Xuan, are lustful, as long as you can seriously consider and satisfy the lustful needs of the common people, who will accuse you? How can society be unstable?"
When Xu Xian heard Xu Xuan say this, he suddenly opened his mouth, and when he picked up the book, this passage was memorized in just a moment.
