Volume 3 The Spring and Autumn of the Pencil Knife Chapter 1001 The First Genius and the First Liar

Later, under the leadership of Cheng Gong, he first went to Xuecang to get the Nine Classics of Confucianism and some other learning materials for teaching. I came directly to the Goshokaku, which is the place where I will give a lecture today.

Because when Lu Lao's little servant led Cao Yi to go to school just now, many people had already seen Cao Yi on the road, and they had all met Cao Yi, so when Cao Yi and the others first came in, they heard that these students were all gathered in groups of three or five, all discussing Cao Yi.

Since the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting became famous overnight, Cao Yi is known as the first talent in Jiangning. Later, when the Drunken Immortal Building opened during the Double Ninth Festival, the entire Jiangning City recognized his amazing talent for immortals. Whether it is the dozens of calligraphy wine flags that are dizzying and shocking, or the later "Drunken Flower Yin" and "Fixing the Storm" performed by Yu Xuanji, Cao Yi's fame swept in the entire Jiangning City, and the admiration for Cao Yi in Jiangning City at that time almost reached its peak, and the discussion about Cao Yi and Cao Zhaozheng's heavenly immortals and immortals was the most before and after the Double Ninth Festival......

But later, as Cao Yi devoted all his time and energy to the construction of the Spark Secret Camp and the Taibai Chamber of Commerce, and he never appeared in front of the public during the period, the frequency of discussions about Cao Yi and Cao Yi's first talent in Jiangning City also decreased, and there were fewer discussions that could be heard on weekdays. Because most of the people in the city are themselves Shengdou small people, except for the occasional vassal elegance to pay attention to what happened in the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting and the Chongyang Poetry Conference, and then they will have to face all kinds of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar in their lives, and all kinds of trivial things will cover the heat of the original first talent in Jiangning City.

More admiration and discussion began to focus on a group of students, and it was such a group of literati who had a very small base in the society that continued to spread Cao Yi's reputation outward, through oral letters and other means, with Jiangning as the center, and spread to the surrounding areas and the capital Kaifeng.

Later, because Cao Yi did not appear in public for too long, especially the gatherings often held between literati to facilitate communication and mutual learning, Cao Yi had never been seen to participate. After a few times, about Cao Yi spending money to buy poetry, Cao Yi's talent was not high, and the saying that there was no real talent began to spread and spread in an uproar.

Among them, there is naturally Shen Yan who creates topics and fuels the flames. With the support of the family background of the richest man in Jiangning City, for those poor scholars who are already poor and only rely on a little government education allowance to survive, they can get a lot of money if they say some bad things about Cao Yi at a party or in private exchanges, or deliberately guide others to the opposite side of Cao Yi's first talent, so why not. Anyway, Cao Yi can't hear it, and he will never come to investigate them for slander and rumors. So gradually, in Jiangning City, there were debates about whether Cao Yi was really the first talent in Jiangning or actually the first liar in Jiangning

spreads.

Cao Yi had naturally heard all kinds of rumors before, even Red Sleeves and Tan Yun had heard several times about talents and liars in the Drunken Immortal Building, and they didn't know if it was Shen Yan who funded them to deliberately come to the Drunken Immortal Mansion to say something deliberately disgusting. If it weren't for Cao Yi's already instructed them not to cause disputes with them, otherwise, no matter which side was right or wrong, a restaurant shopkeeper openly had a dispute with the guests who came to eat, and if they still fought because of this, it would be equivalent to erecting a signboard for others to attack in groups, and the gains outweighed the losses. If Shen Yan or Qingfeng Lou are hidden behind him, then Drunken Immortal Lou can only be tired of dealing with these things every day, and he still has to do business.

Anyway, according to Cao Yi's inner thoughts: he is strong by him, the breeze blows the hills, he lets him cross, and the bright moon shines on the river. Let others slander me, slander me, insult me, laugh at me, despise me, despise me, and hate me, and I will make a lot of money in my own silence. But if they cross the line and hinder me from making money and cutting off my money, see that I do not kill him.

For Shen Yan's various challenges, Cao Yi naturally won't really deal with them calmly, not to mention that there is also a blood feud against Xiao Liuzi and other four lives counted on him, Cao Yi has not retaliated for a long time, the first is because there is no direct evidence that the bandits are assigned by Shen Yan, and the second is that since he chooses revenge, he will suppress the other party to death at once, and not give the other party any chance to turn the tables. With the financial resources of the Shen family, there are many outlaws who are willing to give them their lives, so Cao Yi can only choose to forbear, either to completely bring down the Shen family with a thunderbolt, or to silently prepare for revenge, and must not startle the snake.

But if Shen Yan pushed too much and raised his face to his hand and begged Cao Yi to beat, then Cao Yi would never be able to make twelve points of strength but only six points, and he would definitely slap it hard, leaving no spare strength.

At this moment in the school, Cao Yi took the disguised red star, and under the arrangement of Cheng Gong, sat in an empty position that no one had done before. looked left and right, and found an old acquaintance, that is, Sikong Ye, who had a good performance at the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting that day, because in class, the two just nodded to each other.

Then Cheng Gong began to give a lecture, and before the formal class, he still made an introduction to Cao Yi and called on everyone to welcome Cao Yi's arrival. Then he began to give formal lectures, because on the way to the previous year, he had asked Cao Yi if he wanted to take proper care of Cao Yi, and start with simple content, but Cao Yi politely declined. So Cheng Gong still gave a lecture according to his previous process, for Cao Yi, he naturally understood and kept up, but he was a little embarrassed.

In class, Red Sleeves nervously opened the Analects, found the chapters that Cheng Cheng Cheng talked about above, and corresponded them one by one. As the official scholar with the highest academic level in the government, it is natural that it will not just be taken to the scriptures

The interpretation of this lecture is based on the political propositions, ethical thoughts, moral norms, and educational principles to be conveyed above, and the interpretation is often based on his own understanding, drawing inferences from one another, and giving examples of relevant allusions or real deeds that can explain the views in the Analects thoroughly, and make an in-depth explanation in simple terms.

Because the classroom discipline in this era is very strict, and the concept of heaven and earth monarchs and teachers has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and respecting teachers and valuing education is an iron law that every scholar must abide by, so Cao Yi did not dare to whisper to Red Sleeves at this time to give her a supplementary explanation and explanation, and it was completely up to Red Sleeves to understand what Cheng Gong said. Either he can only wait until the end of the class to conduct special tutoring, looking at the frowning brows of the red sleeves, Cao Yi can only shrug his shoulders and say that he can't help.

Cheng Gong really deserves to be a great Confucian who can co-author the "Jiangning Mansion School Rules", and he is already familiar with the Analects, and he can often be thought-provoking when he explains it casually. Even Cao Yi, a person who had experienced all kinds of information bombardment and knowledge edification in later generations, couldn't help but be attracted by what Cheng Gong said. Cheng Gong is not so much talking about his personal understanding of the Analects, but rather that he combines the concepts to be conveyed in the Analects with his own life experience and the ups and downs of the world, and tells everyone about his life insights of forty or fifty years in the form of the interpretation of the Analects.

At least for Cao Yi, after taking such a class, he can still benefit him a lot. This also made him completely change his original view that coming to Jiangning Mansion to study and go to school was a complete waste of time. Under the guidance of the famous teacher of Fuxue, Cao Yi felt that he could still sublimate himself and improve himself here. Sure enough, nothing in the world can escape the "law of true fragrance" of famous philosophers in later generations.

After the morning class, it is time to eat at noon, those rich sons and children of official eunuchs are prepared by the servants of their own homes, generally melon and fruit cakes, rarely cooked dishes and staple food, because in the school of the house, it is not easy to heat, such a cold weather, eating cold dishes, the taste is not good.

Cao Yi and Red Sleeves couldn't help but look at each other, neither of them had ever come to Fuxue to go to school, so they naturally didn't know that the lunch of the students here was prepared from home by themselves, otherwise they wouldn't have to bring a small servant to go to school. However, Jiangning Mansion School, as the official school of the Great Yan Dynasty, is still equipped with a public kitchen, which is prepared for some poor students and students whose homes are not in Jiangning City, but from other state cities under the jurisdiction of Jiangning Prefecture. However, the cooking level of this public chef is indeed a bit flattering.

Sikong Ye saw that the little girl "Red Star" next to Cao Yi didn't bring out the food box, and knew that he must have brought lunch without knowing it, so he stepped forward to invite Cao Yi to go to the public kitchen in the school to eat, Cao Yi happened to want to go, and naturally agreed happily at this time. 2k reading web
