Approaching dusk, the state school, the all-night reading room of the library, as always, was overcrowded, and the reading room was much larger, and it was packed with readers not long after it was built.

Xiao Xuan, the king of Yixing in civilian clothes, couldn't help but feel helpless when he looked at the prospects, he didn't expect that the rumored all-night reading room of Huangzhou Prefecture School really had an everlasting lamp, and he didn't expect that he would come so "early", but it was too "late".

Zi said: There is no class of teaching, the students of Huangzhou State School, regardless of identity and background, are all students of equal status in the state school, a hard-to-find all-night reading room, seats are not booked, and readers are not distinguished from dignity and inferiority, only first come, first come, first come.

If there is no place, please come early tomorrow, or wait in line outside, someone leaves, and then you can fill in turn.

Xiao Xuan, who was of noble birth, disdained to be in the same room with lowly people, let alone lined up, this kind of request was an insult to him, if it weren't for the reputation of the all-night reading room, he would not have lined up here.

Xiao Xuan, as a clan of the feudal kingdom in the past few days, accompanied the lord and Zhou Tianzi to listen to lectures in the state school, before he heard people talk about all kinds of "unbelievable" in Huangzhou state school, at first he was skeptical, and when he was really in the state school, he realized that what he said was true.

At this time, he was waiting in line to enter the reading room, and on the snow-white wall next to him was written a poem, this poem is called "Encouragement", which is a seven-character poem, the words are as big as a bucket, and its content is as follows:

Rich families don't need to buy fertile land, there are thousands of bells in the book.

There is no need to erect tall buildings to live in peace, and there is a golden house in the book.

Don't hate unscrupulous matchmakers when marrying a wife, there is Yan Ruyu in the book.

Don't hate to go out with no one, there are many cars and horses in the book.

If the student wants to fulfill his life's aspirations, he reads the Five Classics to the window.

This encouragement poem, signed "Anonymous", Xiao Zhen has a kinship after reading it, he thinks that the children of Lanling Xiao should study hard in order to make achievements in literature, although it is equally important to be skillful in bow and horse, but literature must be in the first place.

If you want to advocate literature, you can't do without scriptures and classics, and only with a certain amount of books, can a family's literary style be maintained for a long time, and Liang's collection of books was originally the first class in the world.

Xiao's Liang State, because of the Hou Jing Rebellion and gradually declined, and later set the capital Jiangling, not long after the Wei army broke through, the day of the city break, the Liang Emperor Xiao Yi, who was in despair, burned hundreds of thousands of volumes of books, and countless literary treasures were turned into ashes.

This is a literary catastrophe, the rebuilt Liang Kingdom, the palace collection of books can no longer restore the grand occasion of the year, and now, the Huangzhou State Library, the collection of books has reached a sensational more than 100,000 volumes... Root.

There are thousands of bells in the book, and the Huangzhou State Studies Library, which has an astonishing collection of books, is like a huge granary, attracting Xiao Zhen, a hungry brocade mouse.

However, his time in Xiyang is limited, so he can only take advantage of these days to read books in the reading room, even if he deigns to queue up, he may not be able to get his wish: if he wants to read a book, he can only get a place in the queue.

The all-night reading room is very large, but there are more people in line, and I don't know how long it took, when there were still two seats left in the reading room, it was finally his turn, although he was not used to the mixed seats of high and low, but Xiao Zhen was still very excited in his heart.

Xiao Zhen has carefully studied the book list, many of which are "lone remakes" of ancient books that have only heard of their names and have not seen their books, and it is inevitable that there will be forgeries by later generations, but even if they are forgeries, they are worth a look.

For readers, so many books are enough to forget to sleep and eat, countless students from mediocre families, the collection of books at home is pitiful, and it takes a lot of effort to borrow books on weekdays, and money may not be able to borrow, and here, reading books is almost equal to free.

If you want to read any book, the premise is that you can get a seat in line, and after borrowing the book, if there is something you don't understand, you can write it down, write it on a slip of paper, and submit it to the state school "academic affairs".

The Student Council will sort out these questions and turn them in, and the lecturer will answer the questions that the students are more concerned about during the question time during the lecture hall.

If the student who asked the question was not present at the time, there is no need to worry about missing it, because the answers will be compiled into text and published in the monthly Xiyang Monthly.

There are famous teachers who teach, there are free books to borrow in the reading room, and there are ever-bright lights in the all-night reading room, which allows students to use their leisure time to read books as much as possible.

And Xiao Zhen saw the scale of Huangzhou State School with his own eyes, so he really understood why his half-brother Xiao Yu wanted to come to Huangzhou to study, so tonight, he had to "read at night" in the all-night reading room and swim in the sea of books.

After completing the formalities, Xiao Zhen entered the reading room, but he was not in a hurry to borrow books and take a seat, but waited for someone behind him to come in.

With the arrival of the Son of Heaven in Shannan, Zheng Shanguo, and also with the royal car arrived in Xiyang, today he took the time to come to the library with Xiao Zhen of the Liang State Sect, but as soon as he came, he didn't want to leave.

Zheng Shanguo is now in a state of war between heaven and man, and there is only one seat left in the reading room now, and now it is his turn to go in, if he enters, he can see the books he has predetermined to read.

If he doesn't go in, the Son of Heaven won't stay in Xiyang for too long, and once the royal car turns back to Anlu, he will have to leave, and the next time he goes to Xiyang, I don't know how long it will be.

However, now that the curfew is approaching, if you go into the reading room to read, the consequence will be "no return all night", which has never happened, Zheng Shanguo knows how worried his mother Cui Shi, who is also in Xiyang, if he does this.

If he dares to "stay up all night", after he goes back, he will face multiple tortures of conscience, morality, humanity, and family affection.

However, the books he wanted to read were not available anywhere else.

The famous minister Du Pre of the Jin Dynasty, a civil and military all-rounder, is the author of the "Spring and Autumn Zuo Classics Collection and Explanation", which is recognized as the authoritative work of "Zuoxue", which has been circulated for hundreds of years, and no one dares to question it, and now, some people have questioned it.

The person who doubts his behavior is inevitably suspected of grandstanding, but if this person is a world-famous scholar, it is different.

Liu Xuan, one of the "two Lius", is a world-famous scholar of scriptures, and now he has published a book called "Spring and Autumn Rules", which questions some of the contents of Du Pre's "Spring and Autumn Zuo's Classics and Biography".

What questions does the book raise? Zheng Shanguo wanted to know, especially wanted to know, but he felt that his heart was like a cat scratching, and he was uncomfortable.

Not only did he think, but many people wanted to know that the consequence was that the first edition of "Spring and Autumn Rules" in Xiyang City Bookstore was sold out as soon as it was retailed, and those who couldn't grab it could only borrow it from the State Library.

Now, according to the librarian's consultation, there is only one seat left in the reading room, and there is only one copy of "Spring and Autumn Rules" that can be borrowed in the library.

Xiyang Bookstore is now working overtime to print "Spring and Autumn Regulations", but it has received a lot of orders, and it will take more than ten days to retail at the earliest, and Zheng Shanguo can't stay in Xiyang for so long, so...

He was like a hungry man at this time, with a bowl of fragrant rice in front of him, and it was impossible not to eat it.

Looking up at the poem "Encouragement", looking at the "book has its own thousand bells", and looking at the librarian waiting for him to make a decision in front of him, Zheng Shanguo has made up his mind.

The servant who followed aside, looked at Lord Lang with pleading eyes, Zheng Shanguo stuffed the hastily written note into the servant's hand, and then explained in a low voice: "Explain to the master's mother, I am reading books in the state library, not to have fun with others so that I don't return all night!" ”
