Chapter 9: The Book of Songs

"Book of Songs" collected the poems from the early Western Zhou Dynasty to the Spring and Autumn Period, the author's name has been unverified, anonymous, most of them have been unable to verify, it is said that Yin Jifu collected, Confucius compiled, and the content is divided into three parts: "Wind", "Ya", "Song", in the Great Song Dynasty, which respects the way of Confucius and Mencius, and the era of popular poetry and songs, the Book of Poetry is simply a classic, and it must be read by enlightenment, in order to establish the standard of words and deeds.

Xu Caizheng put a book of poetry in front of Xu Shande, and then stood aside to look at the joke, after all, you Xu Shande is a two-year-old doll, even if you can export chapters and have excellent skills, it is just listening to people and secretly writing it down, but now that the real book is placed in front of Xu Shande, Xu Caizheng does not believe that Xu Shande, who has never seen a few big characters, can recognize which two words are the Book of Poetry. Sure enough, Xu Shande picked up the Book of Poetry and flipped through it randomly, "Father, you see that I am only two years old, even if you want me to study, you have to explain it to me first, if you don't talk about it, let me memorize it." ”

At this time, Xu Caizheng can be regarded as having the confidence of some elders, thinking that even if you are an immortal, you are only two years old, even if you are a saint of Kong, I am afraid that you will have to pee your pants when you are two years old, let alone you little rabbit cub. Secretly proud, Xu Caizheng nodded, picked up the Book of Poetry, and explained the first four articles to Xu Shande. The first four articles of the Book of Poetry are Guan Ju, Ge Tan, Curly Ear, and Zhu Mu, since it is a poem, it is all four words and one sentence, the battle is neat, and the words rhyme, but this ancient text of the pre-Qin period, although the artistic conception of the words is beautiful, but the meaning is a little obscure, Xu Caizheng first read it to Xu Shande, and saw Xu Shande's brows furrowed, and he was puzzled, so he started from the first sentence and explained the meaning of every word and every sentence to Xu Shande.

Speaking of being an official, Xu Caizheng is not good at it, but when it comes to teaching, Xu Caizheng is an expert, the four simplest poems in the Book of Poetry were told by Xu Caizheng about the meaning, context, rhyme, and taste. It's just that this lecture is like enlightening the Buddha, listening to the lecture, if there is a wisdom root, an epiphany on the ground, dancing with eyebrows, and elated, and the person who has no chance is like a cow chewing peonies, drowsy, very unfortunate, these two people appeared in front of Xu Caizheng.

Look at the three brothers Xu Zheng, they have long been drowsy and listless, and they secretly thought in their hearts, their old father is really powerful, I don't know how many times I have talked about these poems, and I have to say them again, and I don't know how to get bored. But looking at Xu Shande next to him, although he was two years old, when he heard Xu Shande talking, his eyes were full of energy, and his spirit was flying, although he didn't speak, but his two big eyes looked at Xu Caizheng without blinking, just one person, but Xu Caizheng suddenly had a feeling that he was teaching in the country.

After Xu Caizheng finished speaking, he decided that Xu Shande was not a mortal, and he would be able to worship the prime minister, just around the corner, if so, wouldn't he also be a generation of phase teachers, Xu Caizheng was famous, and he could record one or two in the history books, but the more so, the more Xu Caizheng put down his face, Xu Caizheng is everyone, and naturally knows the truth of "it's an hour, it's not necessarily good", it is precisely because Xu Shande is so talented that he should be strictly disciplined, and he can't let it go. Thinking of this, Xu Caizheng couldn't help but think of Fan Zhongyan, who was demoted from Bianliang City in the fifth year of Qingli.

Speaking of Fan Zhongyan, Xu Caizheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this one proposed a new policy, no essay Tao Wu strategy, all of them were the prime ministers of the first class in the dynasty, and in just one year, they were demoted out of the capital, and the reason for this was not because the villain framed him and framed him with the word friend, and the prime minister who was killed was bumpy and displaced, and he has not returned yet, and it is precisely because of this that Xu Caizheng abandoned the official and returned to his hometown.

Thinking of this, Xu Caizheng taught again: "Virtue and goodness, study first and be a man, you should be a gentleman's words and deeds, don't learn from the villain." Xu Shande asked, "What is a gentleman?" Xu Caizheng said: "A gentleman is like a jade, gentle and elegant, loyal to the monarch and loves the people, and has good conduct." What Xu Caizheng said was completely putting Xu Shande in the position of a courtier, but looking at Xu Shande again, he directly reached out to take the poetry on the table, and I don't know if he heard Xu Caizheng's heartfelt emotion, and the angry Xu Caizheng couldn't help but blow his beard and stare at him. Regardless of whether Xu Shande heard it or not, since Xu Caizheng already had an idea, he deliberately patted Xu Shande's table with a ring ruler and said: "You will memorize these four poems in the morning, if you don't understand something, you can ask me, but when it is time to eat, if you can't memorize it, you will have to eat some ring rulers." ”

After Xu Caizheng finished speaking, he shook the ring ruler in his hand as if demonstrating, showing his authority as Lao Tzu, seeing Xu Shande looking down and not daring to look at himself, he was in a good mood, turned around and continued to drink his own tea, shook his head, picked up a notebook casually, and waited for Xu Shande to come over and ask himself, so that he could show off to the future prime minister, but Xu Caizheng was disappointed, he pretended to squint his eyes and read the notes, while peeking at Xu Shande on the side with his spare eyes, I saw that Xu Shande was sitting on the stool and couldn't reach the book on the table, so he stood up, lay on the table, turned the pages one by one, and read it seriously, Xu Shande read it very seriously, very carefully, so he read it very slowly, and read the first article for two quarters of an hour, even with Xu Caizheng's patience, he couldn't wait, and looked at his notes. Xu Caizheng then remembered that he was teaching Xu Shande a lesson today, and hurriedly turned his head to look at Xu Shande, seeing that Xu Shande was still lying on the table reading a book, Xu Caizheng was a little unhappy in his heart, thinking that Xu Shande was a beginner in reading, even if he could have a good memory and never forget, but the purpose of reading was not to endorse, but to understand the meaning of the artistic conception, and this meaning and artistic conception was profound, don't look at Xu Caizheng has already explained it to Xu Shande, but the same article, people of different ages, people of different personalities, people with different experiences read it, There will definitely be different feelings, what Xu Caizheng understands is not necessarily what Xu Shande understands, and if Xu Shande doesn't understand, he has to ask questions, and he can only learn to achieve it, but you see that Xu Shande doesn't move the nest for a long time, he must be either napping or lazy.

Thinking of this, Xu Caizheng was furious, stood up suddenly, and strode in front of Xu Shande, to see if Xu Shande was lazy and slippery, Xu Caizheng moved, and scared the three Xu Zheng brothers next to him enough, these three people have been sitting here for so long, they have long been thinking about apes, playing games with all kinds of insects, seeing that Xu Caizheng stood up, thinking that Xu Cai was just going to beat them, he hurriedly grabbed the book, regardless of whether it was right or wrong, and shouted with his eyes closed.

Xu Caizheng didn't have time to talk to them at this time, and walked straight in front of Xu Shande, but Xu Shande was not afraid of Xu Caizheng, he looked up and glanced at Xu Caizheng, but there was no reaction, still looking down at his book. Xu Caizheng is a little strange when he sees such a situation, according to Xu Caizheng's own years of teaching experience, when a student, there is a natural fear of Mr., especially the naughty and mischievous students who do the wrong thing, generally do not dare to look at Mr., but you look at Xu Shande, his expression is calm, his expression is fearless, and he has a feeling of a frank gentleman.

Could it be that this Xu Shande is really a Wenqu star, and the gods can't be reincarnated? Xu Caizheng glanced at the book in Xu Shande's hand questioningly, and almost didn't crook his nose, it turned out that Xu Caizheng wanted Xu Shande to recite the first four poems, but if you look at Xu Shande, a book in his hand is about to turn to the last four, if it weren't for the book or the right place, otherwise Xu Caizheng would think that Xu Shande was illiterate and thought that the book should be turned from the back to the front.

Xu Caizheng was just about to get angry, and suddenly suppressed the fire in his heart again, no way, who called Xu Shande a two-year-old child, you see that other people's ordinary two-year-old children, I'm afraid they are still breastfeeding in bed, even if they are half-old, they haven't been able to read the book, Xu Shande has been sitting here for a long time honestly, and he is still not satisfied. Of course, Xu Caizheng has not forgotten the original intention of today, no matter what the reason, as long as Xu Shande does not memorize it, it is strange to see that he does not smoke him with a big ruler, it is not his own child, and he is not distressed when he smokes.
