Volume 1 - Who Have Seen Again Chapter 37 Jingxing Phoenix (5)
Is this praising yourself? This dough is a little too thick. Shen Rui couldn't help but look at Wang Shouren, and when he saw that he was serious, he didn't mean to laugh, so he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.
According to the records of relevant books in later generations, although Wang Shouren had a talent for recitation, he was not attentive to learning, and the young man was extremely obsessed with martial arts, naughty and active, and wanted to leave home and join the army. Soon after, there was a street encounter between Wang Shouren and Xiangshi. Xiangshi said: "You must brush your neck, but in fact, you will enter the holy realm; It must go to the Dantai, and then the holy womb will be born; It must go to the lower dantian, when the holy fruit is round. He also said: "Children should study and love themselves." What I have said will be fulfilled in the future. Wang Shouren believed that it was true, and since then he has studied and improved himself, and he is determined to learn to be a saint.
There are two theories about this encounter: one is naturally that Xiangshi has the ability to "meet people", after all, Lao Zhuang's learning is mysterious and mysterious, and Wang Shouren's later achievements are indeed extraordinary; One theory is that this scholar was invited by Wang Shouren's grandfather, Wang Lun, for fear that his grandson would stubbornly delay his studies, so he deliberately arranged for someone to "ignite" Wang Shouren, the purpose was just to let him "study and love himself".
No matter which of the above statements is true, looking at Wang Shouren's appearance, he takes the words of the Xiangshi seriously, and is confident that he is the "Jingxing" of the prosperous era and the "phoenix" of Taiping. Is his big character really as loose as his comment?
Shen Rui looked at the bookcase and looked at it carefully. Because the original owner was young and weak, even Shen Rui had more than ten years of experience, and there were many deficiencies for a while.
Shen Rui couldn't help blushing, he was also self-righteous, when the fur he had learned was a thing, this was not "selling a big knife in front of Guan Gongmen", it was really ridiculous.
Wang Shouren saw that his expression was unnatural, and said: "With your age, it's not a shame to write like this, don't bother yourself." After that, he took a coarse brush from the pen holder, laid out a piece of rice paper, and hung the pen.
Shen Rui couldn't help but lean over and look, and saw the dragon and snake flying above, full of muscles and strength, calm and happy, Shuyun "learn and then know the insufficiency, teach and then know the difficulty".
Shen Ruizhi felt that his heart was agitated, and Wang Shouren had already put down his pen and handed the painting to Shen Rui: "Encourage you." ”
Shen Rui took it with both hands and said respectfully: "Mr. Xie gives ink!" ”
Wang Shouren nodded and said, "Look at your appearance, you don't have to bother three hundred thousand." Tomorrow Mao Zheng (six o'clock in the morning) to read four books, starting from the "Analects", in the afternoon to learn the six arts, every night to copy a book of filial piety, full of 100 and then change the ......"
Shen Rui's learning career began in this way.
With such a teacher, of course Shen Rui will not pretend to be clever to "hide clumsy", but although he has read and studied the "Analects" in his previous life, he only understands it roughly, and he has been learning it for a long time. Therefore, Shen Rui's performance is not so dazzling. In Wang Shouren's words, it is "Zhongping".
Wuxuan was afraid that Shen Rui would be upset, so he said privately: "The little brother is more talented than the third brother in schoolwork, and the eldest brother is satisfied with you, but I am afraid that you will not be praised when you are young, so I refuse to praise you, you don't have to be discouraged."
Shen Rui didn't feel any blows, after all, the person in front of him was not an ordinary person. According to historical records, Wang Shouren is a talented person who has become a reciterant and has a very high talent, if it were not for his age, it is not enough to devote himself to Confucianism, where is there so much leisure and leisure to dabble in the study of Buddhism and Taoism. Although his memory is excellent, he can't reach this point of rebellion. And because of the later commentaries on the Analects, there was a deviation from this time, Shen Rui's understanding was a little rigid, and Wang Shouren said that he was "Zhongping" is very pertinent.
However, Wang Shouren is only strict in the four books, but he is sometimes encouraged in the "six arts".
On this day, this is Wang Shouren's "number", and the enlightenment is naturally the ninety-nine songs that have been passed down for thousands of years. At this time, the ninety-nine songs have the same order as the ninety-nine multiplication table in later generations, and the difference from later generations is that it is "one by one", rather than "one by one gets one", the difference between one word.
Shen Rui didn't deliberately show off, but compared with the Four Books and Five Classics, this was too simple, so after Wang Shouren taught the beginning, he recited the rest again. Wang Shouren came up with a few questions about chickens and rabbits in the same cage, but the questions of the second and third grades of primary school in later generations, where it is difficult to live Shen Rui, there is no need to calculate, and he answered immediately.
Wang Shouren's eyes lit up a little, and he nodded: "It's quite smart, or it's easy to learn." ”
When Shen Rui heard this, he couldn't help but be moved.
Originally, he didn't think much of metaphysics before, but now his own experience is a mysterious and mysterious thing, and he really has a yearning for the "Book of Changes".
Wang Shouren seemed to see what he was thinking, and chuckled: "You need to gradually become a success, not overnight!" ”
Shen Rui pursed his lips and glanced at Wang Shouren. Didn't you say that this guy aspires to be a saint, how can a saint seedling also play tricks on people? Why the closer you are to him, the lower the reverence in your heart.
Although it was not yet the time of Shen, it was very dark in the study because of the cloudy weather.
Wang Shouren got up and pushed the doors and windows, and a cold wind came to his face.
It's snowing.
It's just that Songjiang is located in the south of the Yangtze River, and compared with the north, the climate is humid, and even if the snow is sprinkled all over the world, it will dissolve when it lands.
Wang Shouren turned to look at Shen Rui and said: "With the theme of 'snow', you can try to chant a poem, with no limit to rhyme." ”
When Shen Rui heard this, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded. What is the rhythm of this? The "Analects" was only studied for three days, and then he directly asked him to compose a poem and say that it was good to be "step by step"?
Wang Shouren glanced at him with a smile, then looked back at the snow outside the window in a daze.
Shen Rui felt inexplicably weak, muttered for a moment, took a pen and paper, and wrote:
snow
It was originally a nine-day guest, turned into the source of the East China Sea.
Mo Yun has no wind and bones, who is natural.
"Huh?" This time it was Wang Shouren's turn to be surprised.
He chanted the poem in a low voice, smiled and nodded: "Although Ping Qian is not very clear, he has a bit of aura. ”
Shen Rui lowered his head, and his chin was pressed against his chest. He doesn't know where to pay attention to "mediocre" in making poems, but in a hurry, it is good to be able to rhyme, and where can he find the right one.
But he didn't expect that in the eyes of others, for a nine-year-old child, this poem was already very good.
Wang Shouren made "Golden Mountain" when he was ten years old:
The mountain of gold is as big as a fist,
Break the Viyan underwater sky.
Drunk leaning on Myoko Terrace on the moon,
The jade flute blows through the cave and sleeps in the dragon.
Although this poem is admirable, it is not very neat.
In Wang Shouren's heart, he has already praised Shen Rui for his quick thinking, and this poem seems to be superficial, but the idea is not bad, which is in line with the Taoist realm. If it was someone else, he would have praised it a long time ago, but at this moment he did not praise Shen Rui.
The atmosphere in the room changed, and Shen Rui felt uncomfortable, and couldn't help but look up at Wang Shouren.
Wang Shouren lowered his face, his expression was solemn, and his eyes stared at Shen Rui faintly.
Shen Ruizhi felt a chill on his back, and lowered his hand and said, "Sir......"
Wang Shouren snorted coldly and said angrily: "No matter why you hide it, you shouldn't hide it from Brother Shen." He really loves you, but he can't exchange your sincerity? ”
Shen Rui's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly said: "It's not that the disciple has a heart, but before the death of his mother, he had no deep friendship with the sixth brother; After the death of his mother, the disciple was first sick, and then guarded the spirit, and never had the opportunity to discuss knowledge with the sixth brother...... "Speaking of this, I am also a little lacking in confidence, but I can't say anything about rebirth, so I have to whisper: "There is a hidden secret in the previous clumsy move...... My grandmother didn't like her disciples to study, and she often blocked her from seeing it......"
Wang Shouren listened, his expression gradually softened, and his gaze towards Shen Rui became more warm.
Shen Rui lost his mother, he knew. The reason why he agreed to teach Shen Li to teach Shen Rui was also because of the difficulties of his youth. But at that time, there was still a grandfather who loved him, and he was just a little stingy and didn't suffer much.
Unexpectedly, Shen Rui's current situation is even more difficult than he was back then, not only the loss of his mother, but also the elders do not pity him. The scholarly children were actually stopped by the elders and not allowed to study, which is not good. No wonder Shen Li intervened in this matter, and under the pretext of picking on his body, he sent the little child to the Zen temple. It's rare that this kid has no resentment except for being silent, and he is so open-minded, but he is more generous than he was back then.
Wang Shouren got along with him for a few days, and saw that he was not coquettish, well-behaved and honest, and self-disciplined.
Today, when I saw Shen Rui's five unique poems, I saw that he was free and easy, so I wondered why he acted so forbearantly and restrainedly, so he deliberately asked with a straight face, who would have thought that he would ask this hidden story.
How did he know that Shen Rui's forbearance and restraint were really frightened by his reputation, for fear that he would be more and more vulgar and unbearable, so he was so cautious.
"This is not your family, and no one will stop you from studying in the future, you are still young, it is the time when your nature is brilliant, you don't have to be so sluggish, the day will wither." Wang Shouren stroked the top of Shen Rui's head and said softly.
If Shen Rui was really a nine-year-old child, he would have been grateful for it, but he was already about the same age as Wang Shouren inside, where could he still be a child? He blushed, nodded, and said, "Disciple knows." ”
Tears, is it because he is too "old", but what should a nine-year-old child look like?
Later generations developed information, and nine-year-old children were already villains; What is the nine-year-old child of the Ming Dynasty, Shen Rui can't find a "reference".
Shen Ruizhi felt bitter in his heart, and a little fear arose in his heart, afraid that he would act in a way that would make Wang Shouren see that something was wrong. Wang Shouren is well-read, who knows if he will think of the word "borrowing corpses to return souls".
Wang Shouren seemed to be quite satisfied with his willingness to listen to the teachings, and said: "Brother Shen, you don't have to be embarrassed, I will help you mention a few words later, after all, you don't have the intention to deceive." ”
looks like a short guard, but he looks like a good teacher.
Shen Rui had no choice but to thank him: "Mr. trouble." ”
While the two were talking, they saw Wu Xuan come in with a post, and said, "Big brother, someone from outside has sent something, and there is more than one family named to the little brother......
