"Good!" Zhang Pu praised, "Da Mu, when Chen Zhanghou mentioned you to me in the past, he said that you are good at learning science, but you are not very talented in writing. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Now it seems that Chen Zhanghou still underestimated Damu you. These two sentences, used here, are really wonderful. ”

Qian Qianyi also smiled and nodded when he heard this: "It is indeed wonderful." Another day, I should find someone to help engrave these two sentences on it, one is self-encouragement, and the other is self-warning. ”

Listening to Qian Qianyi's words, Zheng Sen also felt a little funny in his heart. Because these two sentences were actually copied by Zheng Sen from historical stories. And if Qian Qianyi knew the origin of these two sentences, he would definitely not be able to cry.

These two sentences are from the Analects, the first sentence "Use it to do, give it up and hide it, only I have a husband." From the "Analects of Confucius", Confucius originally praised his proud disciple Yan Hui, which means: get appointed, rescue and promote the royal road of benevolence; If they are not appointed, they go into seclusion and maintain their virtues. Only you (Yan Hui) and I have such virtues.

In the original history, Qian Qianyi engraved such a line of words on one of his canes, which looked like he was comparing himself with a cane while claiming to be Confucius Yanhui. It's just that in the original history, after the Manchu Qing invaded the south and the Southern Ming Dynasty fell, Qian Qianyi surrendered to the Manchus because the water was too cold, and the crutch was also lost. Later, a few years later, the crutch was found again, but there was another line of words on it: "If you don't hold it in danger, if you don't help it, you will use it again?" ”

This sentence is also from the "Analects", which was originally written by Confucius to reproach his disciple Ran You for failing to fulfill his responsibility to assist Ji's family, but now it is engraved here, ostensibly to say that the crutch was lost and failed to fulfill the responsibility of the crutch, but in fact it is satirizing Qian Qianyi, as the minister of Nanming, for failing to fulfill his responsibility.

These two sentences are all from the "Analects", and they actually make up a pair of natural couplets. At the same time, these two sentences can also explicitly refer to the cane, which is a metaphor for virtue. It is indeed a rare two sentences. In history, the latter sentence is a slap in the face of Qian Qianyi, but at this time, it is completely okay to say that it is self-vigilance. Therefore, even Qian Qianyi didn't think there was any problem, but just praised Zheng Sen's quick thinking.

At this time, a boat came, and since Zheng Sen was going in a different direction from Qian Qianyi and Zhang Dai, he asked them to get on the boat first.

……

A few days later, Zheng Sen came back from school that day, and not long after, Chen Hongshou's servant sent an invitation, which turned out to be a group of people from the Fushe who were preparing to hold a literary meeting in Yuhuatai in the second half of this month, so Zheng Sen was sent this invitation.

"Who will attend this meeting?" Zheng Sen asked.

"There are mainly Mr. Zhang Zongzi, Tongcheng Fang Mi Fang Gongzi, Yuyao Huang Taichong Huang, and Guiyang Yang Longyou ......" The servant said a string of names in one breath.

"Isn't Mr. Zhang Tianru going?" Zheng Sen asked again.

"Mr. Zhang is going to Beijing in the next two days, so he won't participate." The servant replied.

"Thank you for your hard work, please go back and tell Mr. Chen, I will definitely arrive then." Zheng Sen said, and then he turned back to the servant and said, "Go and fetch a tael of silver for this eldest brother to go back to the boat." ”

……

The location of Yuhuatai always felt a little strange to Zheng Sen, because in later generations, it used to be the execution ground of KMT, and then it became the martyr's cemetery of the Red Rabbit Kingdom. Thinking about a group of people, with a group of courtesans in their arms, where to run to do some kind of literary meeting, Zheng Sen always felt a little weird.

However, at that time, it was not surprising that this place was chosen, not far from the Confucius Temple, but the environment was relatively quiet. In addition, there is also Yuhua Spring, which is known as the second spring in the south of the Yangtze River, which can be used to make tea. There are many ancient temples in this vicinity, and it is really a good place for literati and artists to meet at this time.

The meeting place was next to Yuhua Spring, and when Zheng Sen arrived here, there were already some people here. This gathering was initiated in the name of Zhang Dai and Fang Yizhi, so the two of them naturally arrived here a long time ago. It's just that Zhang Dai is a player, and in general, he only cares about himself for this kind of thing, but he doesn't care much about specific affairs, and basically loses them to others. As for Fang Yizhi, he is actually not much stronger. Now the two of them are playing Go together, and two other women are watching. However, they didn't have to worry about other things, and the servants of their two families had seen a lot of these things, so they naturally knew what to do, and they did it themselves, but they didn't need to bother with it.

When Zheng Sen came over, the two were going down to a critical place, Fang Yizhi tried his best, and finally found a way to show two eyes for his white chess, but in doing so, he would lose a lot of officials, and he was afraid that when he did his job, he would already lose this chess. I wanted to rob the job, but I didn't know how to rob the material, and I was pinching a chess piece and muttering there with my head down. It's Zhang Dai, probably because the situation is very good, and he feels that he has calculated it clearly. At this time, it was very relaxed, and he was gently shaking the folding fan with one hand, while looking around. From a distance, he saw Zheng Sen walking over with Hai Dafu, so he beckoned to him very happily.

Zheng Sen stepped forward, but Zhang Dai made a silent gesture to Zheng Sen, signaling him not to speak, so as not to disturb Fang Yizhi. Zheng Sen didn't make a sound, just watched silently from the sidelines.

Fang Yizhi finally chose to rob, and as a result, after a robbery, Fang Yizhi's robbery material was still a little less, and in the end, Zhang Dai relied on this robbery, and one guy ate a big dragon with more than 20 sons. Fang Yizhi looked at the chessboard, and now there was no place on the chessboard to fight for victory or defeat. So he sighed and said, "You picked up a plate again." ”

"What do you mean by picking up a plate?" Zhang Dai smiled, "Losing is losing, and making excuses is not fun." ”

Fang Yizhi had already noticed Zheng Sen's arrival at this time, so he bowed his hand to Zheng Sen and said, "I don't know what to call this friend." ”

"Nan'an Zheng Sen." Zheng Sen also replied.

"But the Zheng Damu who annotated "Triangle"?" Fang Yizhi stood up and almost knocked down the chessboard.

"Who else could it be if it wasn't him?" Zhang Dai said with a smile, "Mizhi, you don't know, Brother Damu is an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, that kung fu, hehe, a powerless scholar like you can beat eight." Look at the way you go out with a folding fan, and then look at other people's going out, it's an authentic sword tour, you see that people have swords hanging on their waists. ”

"If you beat me like this, if you can beat eight, what if you beat Zhang Zongzi like this?" Fang Yizhi said with a smile.

"About four." Zhang Dai said, "Because I was more naughty since I was a child and liked to fight. ”

Fang Yizhi knew that Zhang Dai was an unserious person, so he just smiled. However, Zheng Sen couldn't help but look at Zhang Dai again, estimated it in his heart, and then came to this conclusion: "If this guy fights, he is not afraid of death, and he really can't fight four empty-handed, but if everyone uses blades and armor, it is estimated that it is still possible to cut eight." ”

"I'm Tongcheng Fang Yizhi." Fang Yizhi saluted solemnly, "After reading Mr. Ling Zunfeihuang's annotations for "On Various Triangles", I have long wanted to discuss these issues with you. It's just that Fujian is too far away, and they are all mountain roads, so it's difficult to walk. If you want to take a sea boat, I am the most afraid of seasickness, and I have a lot of chores, so I have not been able to make the trip, so it is great to see you here today. ”

While saying this, Fang Yizhi also opened the book bag placed next to him, took out a note from it, and then opened it and said: "Da Mu, you see, this is the ...... in "Geometric Originals""

Zhang Dai also came over, but after listening to a few words, he found that he seemed to be unable to keep up with the train of thought of these two people at all, so he reluctantly stepped aside.

"What? Zhang Zongzi, who is extremely smart, can't interject? Gu Hengbo next to him laughed.

"There is no way to do this," Zhang Dai spread his hands and said, "First of all, some things are indeed talented, and they can't be reluctantly. Fang Mizhi's talent in this area is no worse than mine, and he likes these, thinking about it day and night, if I can understand it by listening, I can discuss it with them, it is not too unfair to Mizhi. Moreover, these things of theirs are too difficult and not fun at all. ”

At this time, a few more scholars came over. Zhang Dai greeted them one by one. And Fang Yizhi was different, he was calculating something with his head down, talking to Zheng Sen from time to time, and then lowering his head to calculate. They also drew a coordinate system on the ground, as well as a sine curve.

Fang Yizhi, who was busy with this, naturally didn't have time to deal with other people, and as for Zheng Sen, it seemed that it was not good to talk to others while discussing complex mathematical problems with Fang Yizhi. Although these maths are not too difficult for Zheng Sen. Of course, some problems are also very annoying, obviously using the method of advanced algebra, things that can be done in minutes, but they can only be solved by arithmetic means, which is not used to Zheng Sen, who has not used this primitive means for a long time in his previous life, but fortunately, he can use advanced algebra to calculate the result in his heart, and then reverse the process, relatively speaking, it is still a lot of effort.

Fortunately, these people seem to be very accustomed to Fang Yizhi's state, and they don't care about it.

"Who's that talking to Miyuki?" A scholar asked.

"It's Nan'an Zheng Damu." Zhang Dai said, "Although I am still young now, I am good in learning. ”

The man nodded and looked at Zheng Sen twice.

At this time, Zheng Sen and Fang Yizhi had also solved that problem. The two of them straightened up, and Fang Yizhi took Zheng Sen's hand and began to introduce those friends to him everywhere.

"Da Mu, this is Jiaxing Wang Mengqi Wang brother, Brother Wang is the head of Jiaxing Mansion, and now he is studying in Nanjing...... This is Li Changru and Brother Li...... This is Kunshan Gui Xuangong ......" and finally he introduced this one:

"Da Mu, this is Kunshan Gu Zhongqing Brother Gu......" Zheng Sen hadn't understood yet, but he saw that the man's face changed slightly, and replied: "Brother Mi, the younger brother has now changed his word Ningren." ”

Zheng Sen reacted immediately, Gu Ningren, isn't this Gu Yanwu?
