Kong Yingda's eyes lit up, took the "Analects", raised his head and asked, "Oh? Can you take anything? ”

"Yes...... Right? ”

Chen Fei deliberately acted very serious and apprehensive on the surface, but in fact, his heart blossomed.

Analects? More than a thousand years later, it is also a universal reading, how could he not understand it?

"Yes, please ask the teacher to do the question."

Kong Yingda stroked his beard, turned the "Analects" to a page at random, and put it in front of Chen Fei: "Then you can read the content on this page and translate it." ”

Chen Fei confidently picked up the book, cleared his throat, and was about to read it out loud...

! What is this? Why is there no segmentation? All sentences are connected? How do I read this?

Kong Yingda couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she saw Chen Fei's face flushed and speechless for a long time.

"It's a kid who hasn't read before, and it seems a little difficult for him to read through the Analects, or else..."

"Zi said: 'Eat and drink water, bend the humerus and pillow, and enjoy it. Unrighteous wealth and nobility are like floating clouds to me. What this means is..."

Chen Fei frowned and paused, and continued: "Confucius said: 'Eat coarse grains, drink plain water, bend your arms as pillows, and the fun is in the middle. The riches obtained by unfair means are like clouds in the sky to me. ’”

Kindness? Kong Yingda was slightly surprised, Chen Fei, this kid, can really translate this sentence?

This is not the end, Chen Fei continued to elaborate his own views on this sentence: "Confucius's words are not as simple as they appear on the surface, he actually wants to tell us that if you can stick to your own heart and live, then you can experience happiness anytime and anywhere, if you are greedy for ill-gotten wealth and go against your own heart, even if you are rich and rich, it will blow away like a cloud, not only can not make you happy, but also make you experience the pain of falling into the clouds, but the gains outweigh the losses." ”

"Whew~"

After Chen Fei finished speaking, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At first, he wasn't very used to this kind of unsegmented text, but fortunately he had an impression of the sentence, so he read it out after a little thought.

As for the explanation that followed, he added it slightly according to his own understanding, which can be regarded as an extended application.

But Kong Yingda, who was sitting opposite him, was stunned, and after reacting, Kong Yingda, who had always been calm, almost didn't jump up.

Didn't you say you hadn't studied? How can you interpret the Analects without reading? Can it be extended to say? Is this the level that someone who has never studied should have? How can you embarrass them as old pedants who are familiar with history books and scriptures?

Chen Fei saw Kong Yingda staring at him in a daze and didn't react, and couldn't help but drum in his heart: Could it be that I remembered it wrong? It shouldn't be.

"Uh... Teacher, I don't know if the student's answer is correct? ”

Kong Yingda came back to his senses, didn't say anything, turned a few more pages, and put it in front of Chen Fei for him to read the translation aloud.

"The son said: 'Sage, I cannot see it; The one who can see the gentleman is a gentleman. Zi said: "Good man, I can't see it, but I can see the one who has permanence." Death is for being, void is for profit, and appointment is for Thailand, it is difficult to have permanence. This sentence means ......"

Kong Yingda flipped through several pages in a row, and Chen Fei answered them one by one, and then, Kong Yingda didn't give up, and picked a few other books for Chen Fei to read.

Coincidentally, Chen Fei has basically seen this.

For example, one is "Historical Records" written by Sima Qian, and the other is "The Book of Rites", both of which are widely circulated literary works, Chen Fei can say one or two, and add a little of his own understanding, and said Kong Yingda on the other side for a long time without speaking.

"Uh... These are the students' personal bad opinions, which make the teacher laugh. ”

"No, you're saying that, very well." Kong Yingda looked at Chen Fei deeply.

Is he really only fifteen years old?

"Chen Fei, Chen Fei, you have a problem for me." Kong Yingda frowned deeply.

"You have a very thorough understanding of the Analects, the Records of the Historians, and the Book of Rites, and I believe that you are not bad at studying other books, so what class should I put you in?"

Chen Fei smiled and didn't speak.

To be honest, he only understands these three books, and if the other books are taken out, he may not really be able to say why.

Fortunately, Kong Yingda didn't continue to embarrass him, otherwise he would have to go to the gang.

At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door, and then, someone coughed lightly: "Is the Kong sacrificial wine there?" ”

Kong Yingda heard the voice, put down the book, and personally walked to the door to open the door for the people outside the house.

"Haha, Brother Suiliang came just in time, I encountered a difficult matter, but I want to ask you to help come up with ideas."

Chen Fei looked up and saw a man in a vermilion official uniform walking in with a smile.

"Oh? Is there anything that can stump the Kong-sama of the sake wine? ”

Kong Yingda smiled bitterly, "Brother Zuoliang, don't make trouble, I, I really encountered a problem, say it's not big, it's not small, look, it's him." ”

Zhu Zuoliang followed Kong Yingda's hand to Chen Fei, and Chen Fei got up and hurriedly saluted Zhu Zuoliang. "The kid has seen this adult."

Zhu Zuoliang was slightly stunned when he saw Chen Fei's outfit, and a doubt arose in his heart: How could there be a farmer's child here?

"Master Kong, this is ......"

Kong Yingda smiled slightly, and bought a pass from Zhu Zuoliang: "I don't know if Brother Zuoliang still remembers the poem 'Who knows that Chinese food on the plate, every grain is hard'?" ”

Zhu Zuoliang touched his beard and thought about it, "Of course I remember, this poem is simple and clear, but it has a profound meaning, thought-provoking, and it is a rare masterpiece, how can the old man forget, I heard that this poem was written by a little baby from a peasant family?" Could it be ......"

Zhu Zuoliang seemed to have guessed something, and his eyes stared at Chen Fei without blinking.

"Zuo Liang guessed well, this poem was made by this little baby, the old man found that he not only can compose poems, but also study works such as the Analects of the Analects, and his attainments are quite high, I am afraid that the level is similar to that of some teachers here."

"Oh? Is it so powerful? Zhu Zuoliang glanced at Chen Fei unexpectedly, and was slightly interested in him.

"So what's in the book hardly bothering him?"

"Let's just put it that way." Kong Yingda was also quite helpless.

Chen Fei has never studied, he is all self-taught, and having such a level is enough to show his talent, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a rare genius in a hundred years.

Such a rare good seedling, Kong Yingda naturally intends to cultivate it wholeheartedly, if he does not teach it well, it is his responsibility as a teacher.

So Kong Yingda is also very big now, because he doesn't know what to teach Chen Fei for a while.

"In that case, the old man will come up with a question to test you."

Zhu Zuoliang was very interested in Chen Fei, and took out a pair of pen and ink and put it in front of Chen Fei.

"Little baby, the old man's question is very simple, why are you studying, you can write your answer on paper, let me wait and see."

What do you read for? That's an interesting question! The corners of Chen Fei's mouth curled a little.

This is an open-ended question, which seems simple, but it is actually not easy to answer.

If you answer "study for the sake of being an official", it will be too straightforward, and it will lower your image in front of Kong Yingda and Zhu Zuoliang.

If you answer "enrich yourself and improve your connotation", it will make people feel too contrived.

So the question itself is not difficult, but the difficulty is how to express one's desires tactfully in front of the two teachers.

But...... Chen Fei knows how to answer!

Euphemistic? Desire?

I'm sorry! Go away, all of you!

Chen Fei picked up the pen and wrote eight big characters on the paper.

"Reading for the rise of the Tang Dynasty"!
