Xu Xuan told him what happened after Zhu Danxi left, and Zhu Danxi and Xu Xuan, who were reinvigorated, were guarding the medicine hall as usual.

In the afternoon, Xu Xuan, as in the past, went straight to Cheng Fang's other courtyard to study the scriptures, so Xu Xuan had this kind of intense study life in the morning medicine hall and afternoon study, as for his master Wang Fengshan, as Xu Xuan guessed, since he left that day, there has been no news, and similarly, Linglong has not come back. Cheng Fang, who came back this time, seemed to be a different person, and began to be strict with Xu Xuan's learning, after inspecting Xu Xuan's learning progress, Cheng Fang was very dissatisfied, and re-lectured on the four books that Xu Xuan had studied, and inspected them from time to time.

And Cheng Fang, the teacher, likes to do the most is to review the four books in front of him after the daily routine Five Classics course is completed, so that Xu Xuan can extend his own views.

King Liang Hui said: "The widow is also to the country, and he is dedicated to his ears." If Hanoi is fierce, its people will be moved to the east of the river, and its millet will be moved to Hanoi; The same is true of Hedong. Those who observe the politics of neighboring countries are not as good as those who have the intentions of a few people. If the people of the neighbouring countries are not less, and the people of the few are not more, why not? ......" Cheng Fang, who was sitting in the shade of the tree, looked at Xu Xuan, who was reciting by Lang Lang, and nodded with satisfaction.

After Xu Xuan finished reciting, Cheng Fang picked up the medicine bowl on the table and drank the decoction in it, after he returned to Beijing, he was busy dealing with various forces, exhausting his mental strength, and he was really distressed and sick, and he was still in the court at that time, fortunately, he always remembered Xu Xuan's advice, and he was always loaded with the quick-acting heart-saving pills that Xu Xuan gave him, he hurriedly took a few pills, and after the imperial doctor came in a panic, Cheng Fang had already eased up,

Cheng Fang, who was exhausted, was also disheartened at this time, and submitted his resignation directly to the emperor in the court, but the emperor did not approve until Cheng Fang returned to Hangzhou, and when the case of Qiu Wang was closed, he was ill, and the emperor had no choice but to grant Cheng Fang a few months of sick leave - the kings of the Northern Song Dynasty were generally extremely tolerant of scholars, and it was difficult to see the situation of substitute leave in the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations, which was not uncommon in the Song Dynasty, and even formed a certain practice. This for later generations is a typical wasteful behavior of occupying the pit and not, which was commonplace in the Song Dynasty.

After Cheng Fang was on sick leave, he came to Qiantang County from Hangzhou overnight, and directly brought in Xu Xuan, a student he had taught for a few days, and under Xu Xuan's careful care, Cheng Fang's body slowly recovered.

At this time, Cheng Fang couldn't help but sigh, he was really lucky, the disciple he fancied, not only had the same temperament as himself, but also had a good talent, and what was even more commendable was that this kid was learning medicine at the same time, and he could also play with ease, and his dilapidated body, in the hands of this disciple, was slowly getting better, which made Cheng Fang feel that in the second half of his life, accepting Xu Xuan as an apprentice was the most proud thing for him.

However, the more satisfied he is with Xu Xuan, the more strict he is with Xu Xuan's homework on weekdays, in Cheng Fang's heart, strict teachers and high apprentices, this is an unbreakable truth, "Xu Xuan, let me ask you, do you know that Mencius's last words 'do not violate the agricultural time, the grain cannot be eaten; The number of dogs does not enter the pond, and the fish and turtles cannot be eaten; The axe catty enters the mountains and forests at the right time, and the timber is not usable. Grain and fish and turtles can not be eaten, timber and wood can not be used, it is to make the people live and die without regrets. There is no regret in health and death, and the beginning of the royal road is also. A house of five acres, a mulberry tree, and fifty people can be clothed; Chickens, guineas, dogs, and animals, if they don't lose their time, the seventy can eat meat; A hundred acres of land, don't take it away, a few families can be hungry; The teaching of the order, the righteousness of filial piety, and the person who gives the confession does not live up to the road. Seventy people eat meat, and the people are not hungry or cold, but those who are not kings are not not. What do you think of Mencius's words? Why didn't the kings of that time adopt the method of Yasheng? Cheng Fang looked at Xu Xuan and asked.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Xu Xuan's head, Cheng Fang's words, in fact, there is a big problem, if he says it directly, Mencius's words are big words, which is purely looking for death, Yasheng's words are also questionable to a person who has not yet been admitted to Tongsheng? However, if you can't answer with new ideas, I'm afraid that your teacher can't let go of yourself" The student thinks that Yasheng's words are right, but the Spring and Autumn Warring States Wars are continuous, there is no stable environment, and it is difficult for the monarch of the country to succeed in how to implement the royal road, just like this King Liang Hui, who appointed Pang Juan in the early days to make Wei become the overlord at that time, but later Pang Juan framed Sun Bin, Sun Bin took refuge in Qi, and after two wars with Wei, Wei's national strength declined, and a country's strength changed so drastically, The people can not live a stable life, how can they produce stably, furthermore, the country of the Spring and Autumn Period, the country is strong, the people need to obey the military service, fight with the army, a large number of young and strong with the army, domestic production is at a standstill, if the country is really as Mencius said, to take a light tax, will lead to insufficient national resources, so that there is no power to wage war, in the long run, the country will definitely decline, so, Yasheng's words, in the chaotic situation at that time, can not be realized. ”

"Duh, bastard, how dare you say such a comment on Yasheng? Remember, you must not say this nonsense in the future, if you let those people with ulterior motives hear it, I am afraid that you will not have a chance to gain fame in the future" Cheng Fang shouted at Xu Xuan,

Xu Xuan hurriedly confessed his mistake. But I smiled secretly bitterly in my heart, isn't this what you asked me to say, teacher? If you say this kind of thing, you want to say that I am talking nonsense.

Cheng Fang saw Xu Xuan admit his mistake, his face was slightly pale, he looked up at the sky, and found that it was still early, it was sunset at dusk, and the soft sunset made Cheng Fang feel very comfortable, he exhaled a breath and said to Xu Xuan, "Today's homework is here, Xu Xuan don't leave first, your wife will come over to deliver food in a while, and accompany the teacher to drink two cups." ”

"Ah, teacher, do you dare to drink? Didn't I tell you that you weren't allowed to drink? When Xu Xuan heard Cheng Fang say this, he suddenly became anxious and asked Cheng Fang.

"Hehe, I didn't drink before, but an old friend of mine came here, I heard that you have good medical skills, and I want you to diagnose a strange disease, so I want to drink such a cup, you say you don't drink it, you won't drink it" Cheng Fang was a little sneering when Xu Xuan said this.

This is also a strange scene of Cheng Fang and Xu Xuan during this period of time, when studying, Cheng Fang will severely reprimand Xu Xuan, it is really a dizziness of scolding, and once the lecture is completed, in daily life, Cheng Fang made any mistakes and ate things that should not be eaten, such as drinking alcohol and eating fatty meat. Xu Xuan will seize the opportunity and say that his teacher will be beaten fiercely, and Cheng Fang will not be angry, he is really unreasonable, and he will apologize to Xu Xuan.

This strange master-apprentice relationship has existed since the moment Xu Xuan apprenticed to the master, and it has lasted for so many years. The reason is that Xu Xuan is not only Cheng Fang's apprentice, but also Cheng Fang's personal doctor, especially the second identity, in recent years, with the close relationship between the two, it has become more and more important, sometimes, Cheng Fang's son came to visit his father, looking at the appearance of Xu Xuan and Cheng Fang arguing at the dinner table, they were all in disbelief, is this still the strict father who educates them on weekdays and does not eat or sleep?

This is also Xu Xuan's deliberate action, Cheng Fang's condition is not so optimistic in the eyes of others, the wrong treatment plan for a long time has dragged down Cheng Fang's body, people who have been sick for a long time, his body has deteriorated, and then the rights and wrongs in the court have changed Cheng Fang's personality a lot, sometimes depressed, sometimes irritable, liver depression turns into fire, which leads to upward movement, and his heart is hot, so Xu Xuancai has to borrow various methods to regulate his emotions to release Cheng Fang's emotions.

However, the method that Xu Xuan tried at that time was not very good, it was just a chance, at the dinner table, Xu Xuan inadvertently commented on the government, which attracted Cheng Fang's attention, and the old master immediately left the etiquette of eating without saying anything behind, and argued with Xu Xuan at that time. Occasionally, it is also followed by adding oil and vinegar, which makes people feel warm at home.

And Cheng Fang's sons, every time they see this scene, they are very envious, but if they are given ten dares, they don't dare to talk to their father like this, they still say goodbye as usual, and a few words of fixed greetings will be retired. Cheng Fang, on the other hand, treats his sons without the cold face of the harsh winter in the past, and becomes warm. In this way, these descendants dare to have the courage to say a few words to Cheng Fang.

Xu Xuan had eaten, but he didn't want to stay here for a long time, Wang Fengshan didn't come back for a long time, although he and Zhu Danxi still supported Qingyutang, but it was not a way to go on like this for a long time, so the two asked the patient who was going to Fucheng to inquire about Wang Fengshan's news in Fucheng. So, Xu Xuan's daily affairs, in addition to listening to lectures in this study, also after listening to the lectures, he also went to the nearby inn where businessmen gathered to inquire about the news, today, is the day when the patient returns to Qiantang, Xu Xuan wants to rush over. At that moment, he got up and said goodbye to the teacher.

When he came out, he went straight to the Qingbo Gate in Qiantang East City, the patient who went to Fucheng was not from Qiantang, he lived in that inn temporarily, so Xu Xuan wanted to rush over to meet him, and tomorrow, people would leave here.
