Chapter 438: A Walk in the Woods

Shen Kang laughed arrogantly twice, boarded the carriage, and everyone stopped laughing and set off one after another.

The carriage traveled non-stop for an hour, and finally reached the foot of Danshan. Because they were accustomed to riding in the carriage these days, Shen Kang had already practiced the skill of being able to sleep peacefully in the carriage without feeling so tired. But the few scholars who had never been far away looked a little embarrassed.

Shen Kang's three people's refreshed spirits were in stark contrast to Lin Xuan's embarrassment.

Jiang Liuxuan grabbed the sleeves of Shen Kang and Wang Lucao, and said with a smile: "Since the Wei and Jin celebrities are mentioned, then we have to mention the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest. ”

Shen Kang learned the tone of the ancients, waved his sleeves, and said with a smile: "Good! Great goodness! ”

Jiang Liucao was overjoyed, so he pulled the sleeves of the two and walked up the mountain, Wang Lucao was about to raise his hand to fan the fan, but he didn't expect that his arm was directly taken away by Jiang Liusu, and his body staggered, but he staggered forward two steps, and did not shake him off.

Lin Xuanzhi and the others were older, and they were people who had read poetry and books, and their hearts had already been sorted into a sponge in the rules and regulations by these etiquettes.

Now looking at the high-spirited appearance of the three teenagers, some envy also rose in my heart, and my mood was also driven up a lot.

Along the way, everyone walked and stopped, while enjoying the scenery of the mountains and forests that are different from Runing Mansion, while talking about the scriptures and reciting the scriptures, and they were happy.

I don't know who mentioned it first, so the young men sat on the edge of the spring in the forest and began to debate.

Hu Yuming said with a smile: "This time we are arguing, regardless of Lu Ming and Zangying, we have to mess up the order!" ”

Jiang Liu raised his head and smiled shamelessly.

"Brother Hu, are you afraid of losing to the three of us again?"

Hu Yuming somehow figured it out, so he simply broke his legs and faced everyone in an extremely indecent posture, saying, "I'm afraid, what?" Brother Jiang Xian refused to let go of Brother Wang Xian and Brother Shen Xian, was he afraid of losing? ”

Hu Yuming said this to provoke Jiang Liu, which anyone can see.

Wang Lu Cao didn't get hit, snorted lightly, and said slowly: "Brother Hu is wearing a long robe, sitting like this, I'm afraid it's indecent, right?" ”

Shen Kang rolled his eyes slightly, it was obvious that Wang Lucao was on the same side as Jiang Liusu, if he also spoke to the two, he would inevitably be ridiculed for being narrow-minded and targeting Hu Yuming.

He smiled and said slowly: "Brother Wang's words are biased, Mencius Mencius's wife lives alone, and Mencius looks at it and says to his mother: "The woman is rude, please go." The mother said, "What? He said, "Stand there." His mother said, "What do you know? Mencius said, "I have seen it with my own eyes." The mother said, "You are rude, not rude." "Rites" is not cloudy? Will get started, ask who to save. will go to the church, and the voice will be raised......"

Shen Kang said an anecdote about Mencius, translated into the vernacular, Mencius's wife was sitting cross-legged in the inner room, Mengzi saw it, Mencius thought that his wife's behavior was unruly, not in line with etiquette, and was a loss of manners and rudeness, so he wanted to divorce his wife, so he told his mother.

Meng's mother asked him, how do you know that your wife is disrespectful and rude?

Mencius replied, "See it with your own eyes."

Meng Mu asked, it was your rudeness, not her rudeness. Does the Book of Rites say this from time to time? When you are about to enter the door, you must first ask who is in the house, and when you are about to enter the hall, you must first raise your voice so that the people inside know that when you are about to enter the house, you must look down.

The "Book of Rites" says this in order not to catch people off guard and be defenseless.

Now you go to the place where your wife is resting, and there is no sound when you enter the house, and people don't know about it, so you see her indecent appearance, which is because you don't talk about etiquette, not because your wife doesn't talk about etiquette.

After Mencius listened to Mengzi's mother's lesson, he realized his mistake and no longer dared to mention the request for divorce.

Wang Lucao raised his eyebrows slightly, fanned his chest, and replied slowly: "The saint has made a mistake and corrected himself." ”

Shen Kang tilted his head, pretending to be ignorant, but he refused to let go of Wang Lu Cao in his heart, laughed, and continued: "It is precisely this reason, the saint can still make mistakes, it is difficult for us to promote the small people, how can we do everything we do without mistakes or omissions?" ”

Wang Lu said: "The sage is the master of a hundred generations, and there are still mistakes and omissions...", he nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, count you as winning a game." ”

Seeing that Shen Kang had won a game, Jiang Liuzhi hurriedly pushed Lin Xuanzhi and said, "Brother Lin!" Let's argue with Shen San! Brother Lin is full of poetry and books, he has real talent and learning, and he will definitely be able to beat this kid! ”

"Haha!" Lin Xuanzhi said with a smile: "Shen San is good at sophistry, I won't argue with him." ”

Zhao Deyuan, Fan Shu, and Zhou Qiong looked at Lin Xuanzhi with a laughing expression.

Zhao Deyuan waved his sleeves and said: "It's not my temperament to retreat without a fight!" I'll ask Brother Shen Xian! With that, he stood up and arched his hand towards Shen Kang.

Although he spoke very reluctantly, his eyes were filled with a raging fire.

Indeed, he didn't interject in yesterday's discussion of national policy, and after returning to the academy, he thought about it for a long time, and always felt that it was too bad to retreat without a fight.

Shen Kang got up to return the salute, then sat back on the stone, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, please advise." ”

Zhao Deyuan smiled lowly, raised his hand and said, "I want to fight, but I don't want to talk about eloquence." ”

Shen Kang was a little surprised, but his expression was still calm, and he smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, is this bullying the younger brother?" ”

Zhao Deyuan was not fooled, raised his head, and said with a smile: "I'm clumsy, I'm not good at talking, let's ...... Let's try one of the six arts of a gentleman. ”

In the Ming Dynasty, there are two theories of "six arts".

One refers to rituals, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and counting. "Zhou Li Baoshi" has a saying: "Raising the son of the country with the Tao is the six arts of teaching: one is five rites, two is six music, three is five shots, four is five masters, five is six books, and six is nine numbers." ”

The other six arts are the Six Classics, "Yi", "Book", "Poem", "Rite", "Music", and "Spring and Autumn".

The Six Arts are the six compulsory courses of the ancient gentlemen, and the implementation of the Six Arts education will be taught according to the level of the students, and it is not as strict as the Four Books and Five Classics.

In the academy, these courses are taught by corresponding gentlemen, but in this era when everything is inferior and only the imperial examination is high, there are also many people who choose to give up the study of the six arts.

Zhao Deyuan thought for a moment and said, "There is nothing to prepare at hand, so let's... Ratio. ”

Among the six arts, there are small arts and big arts. Books and mathematics are small arts, which are elementary courses. Etiquette, music, archery, and royalty are the great arts, which are advanced courses.

Zhao Deyuan chose "number" as the topic of the competition, most of the reason is that he is relatively good at numbers.
