In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

This day was the day when he was going to go to Old Master Gong to be admonished, and it was also the day when he asked Old Master Gong for some esoteric words, so he specially asked for an afternoon off from Fangdu.

Although the village school is simple, but the rules cannot be abolished, although Fan Ming did not formally worship the old master Gong's door, but he also handed over the gift.

Seeing that the day of the autumn equinox is getting closer and closer, the fields in the village are also showing a green patch, and several porcelain kilns and weaving factories around the township seem to be becoming more and more prosperous.

When I arrived at the door of the village school, several dolls with bookcloth bags were coming out of it, pulling their heads one by one and covering their palms, and at a glance they knew that they had been punished.

Fan Ming secretly thought in his heart that he was such an adult, and then Old Master Gong would not also use the ring ruler to deal with him.

Seeing the master and saluting, Old Master Gong only nodded slightly, and led Fan Ming to the study, the impression of this student Old Master Gong is still good, but it is also quite regrettable, after all, he has passed the age of studying, and when he marries a wife and has children in two years, he will not have much interest, but he reluctantly accepted this student when he saw his eagerness to study.

"Have you finished reading both books?"

"It's all memorized."

"Hmm!" Old Master Gong's face was a little warmer, and it was not difficult to memorize an enlightenment book in half a month, "But you have all paid attention to the interpretation?" ”

"I basically understand it in the thousand-word text, but I don't know much about it in the kindergarten text."

"Oh!" The muscles on Old Master Gong's face moved, a little surprised, and a little unbelieving, the thousand-character essay is actually more difficult than the kindergarten text, and he can generally fully understand the meaning of the thousand-character text, which is equivalent to completing the most basic coursework, Fan Ming's words made him a little puzzled, and even a little annoyed, thinking that he was lying.

Suddenly, Old Master Gong's demeanor became stern, "Read the book of sages, take the word 'faith' as the foundation of your life, and you will recite the thousand-character text first!" ”

"Yes, Master!" Fan Ming cleared his throat without the slightest hint of fear.

Just kidding, he has never seen any scenes in the future, even when he faced the 'three triings' of a large global group enterprise alone, he was not stunned, not to mention that now he is just memorizing a book.

The time of a pillar of incense passed, Fan Ming's voice was loud, and he smoothly recited the thousand-character text word for word from beginning to end, and the words were round, orderly and orderly, and there was quite a taste of the gate lord, and the face of the old master Gong was also green and slowly changed to a normal ruddy.

"Well, the rhyme is good, and it is orderly, not bad, not bad!" Old Master Gong nodded lightly, "You said that you have fully understood the interpretation of the thousand-character text, so let me ask you, what does it mean to be one and the same, and return to the king with guests?" ”

Fan Ming groaned: "Far away, far away, far away. The world is unified, and all the people are united in order to "unite the world"; "Rate Bin" is the same as "Rate Bin", that is, within the four seas, and the meaning of the connection is: under the whole world, far and near are unified, and the people of the four seas are supported and attached to the command of the royal road and the holy road. ”

Seeing that Fan Ming was not bad at all, Old Master Gong did not comment, "Then do you know the origin of the king?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be from the Book of Songs: Under the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. It's not that Fan Ming has much ability, it's that the old master asked this sentence is too familiar, and when he was in high school, his political teacher often used this sentence to criticize the backwardness of feudal society.

Old Master Gong frowned, still disbelieving Fan Ming's progress, and then said, "Then what do you mean by leading and pitching the Corridor Temple?" ”

"This is about being open-minded, acting with a head held high, and dealing with the heavy responsibilities entrusted by the imperial court with a broad mind." Fan Ming talked eloquently, as if he had returned to the scene when he was in college when the club was full of excitement.

As Fan Ming's response flowed, Old Master Gong's meticulous scrutiny at the beginning began to relax a little, and his slightly squinted eyes became brighter and brighter, and he stood up and looked at him again from top to bottom, and asked, "I haven't explained these things to you, how did you know?" ”

"I work in Cao's house, and fortunately, the head of Cao's household is kind and allows me to borrow books from the book, which I asked for advice from the bookkeeper of Cao's house." Fan Ming was also embarrassed to say that he had found it in other books, and these books were not difficult, but it was not good to be too arrogant.

Old Master Gong nodded and stood up, compared to just now, he was already a little more pleased to look at Fan Ming at this time, willing to work hard, not bad in qualifications, and able to ask without shame, such a student meets his standards, and his interest in Fan Ming instantly increased at this moment, "You just said that you still have some confusion about what is going on, let's hear it." ”

Fan Ming smiled quietly in his heart, this was what he used to amuse the old master, but he didn't expect the master to be serious, so he straightened his face and said: "There is a cloud in the book: the rich don't need to buy good land, there are thousands of Zhongsu in the book." There is no need to raise a hall to live in peace, and there is a golden house in the book. Don't hate to go out with no one, there are many cars and horses in the book. Don't hate unscrupulous matchmakers when marrying a wife, there is a woman in the book who is like jade. The boy wants to fulfill his life's aspirations, and the six classics are read in front of the window. ”

After reading Fan Ming paused, Old Master Gong didn't know what he meant, nodded and asked, "How?"

"What the kid doesn't understand is that there are thousands of Zhongsu in the book, there is a golden house in the book, and there is a woman Yan Ruyu in the book, why do I have to work hard, it's better to study all day!"

"Hahaha......" Old Master Gong couldn't help laughing loudly, laughing so much that tears came out, pointing at Fan Ming and said: "You kid, it's all some strange ideas, in vain I thought I knew all the deep meanings, I don't want you to know only one thing, not the other, you should be punished, you should be punished!" ”

It can be seen that Old Master Gong is in a good mood, and Fan Ming is also happy to accompany him with a smile.

Old Master Gong took out an ancient book from the bookshelf and said: "In this way, you can take this book of "The Nine Books of Heyuan", this is a scripture written by a monk in Xiangshan, and you will be punished to copy it again, and supplement the whole article!" ”

"Ahh Fan Ming was a little surprised, "The Nine Books of the Yuan Dynasty" He knew that this was a famous miscellaneous note written by Bai Juyi, which was quoted from poetry, and recorded a lot of his own views on poetry, and then expressed some views on ideology and politics, the words were extremely sharp, and the satirical pen always pointed to the emperor, although the Song Dynasty was politically very enlightened and his speech was quite free, and he didn't know if the old master Gong just asked him to copy this book, I don't know if it was intentional.
