Chapter Ninety-Five: The Northerners Are Thick
Xu Jingmeng asked such a sentence, Fan Jin and Wei Haogu were stunned, even Lu Xingchuan was "chuckled" in his heart.
Among the seven people present, it goes without saying that Xu Jing is a person, Wu Wending, Gu Dingchen, Fan Jin and Wei Haogu are all talents.
Although Lu Xingchuan is still a child, he reads poetry and books, but he is unlucky or has no way to be admitted to Xiucai. But when it comes to learning, he doesn't seem to lose to anyone here. You know, he has been reading since he was a child, and now he is forty years old, so you can imagine how many books he has read.
Only Zhou Zhi is white, and Zhou Zhi's four books and five classics have not yet been read. Of course, Zhou Zhi didn't finish reading the Four Books and Five Classics, and Xu Jing didn't know. But anyone can see that Zhou Zhi is dressed ordinarily, without the sign of the scarf of Xiucai, he is obviously white.
Besides, Zhou Zhi is the youngest, even if he reads a book, how much can he read? This Xu Jing said that Zhou Zhicai was quick to think and had read a lot of books, what was his purpose? What is the intention?
Could it be that just now because of the sentence "The poetry of the south is good, and the northerners are thick." Xu Jing was angry, did he want to take the opportunity to publicize his talents as a southerner, and belittle or even humiliate the northerners?
But whether it is the south or the north, it is the land of the Ming Dynasty, and in this Ming scholar, do you insist on separating the north and the south?
If Xu Jing really has such a thought, he will inevitably be a little embarrassed, and he will have a small belly.
Maybe Xu Jing is just an unintentional move, and he really wants to study and discuss the eight-strand system with everyone.
The three of them felt compassion in their hearts, and they all looked at Zhou Zhi and sweated for Zhou Zhi.
Because no matter what, Zhou Zhi is the life-saving benefactor of Lu Xingchuan's father, and he has a lot to do with Fan Jin.
As for Wei Haogu, although he has not had too much contact with Zhou Zhi, he has already learned from Fan Import that although Zhou Zhi is in a cold family, he does not fall into the ambition of studying, and he admires Zhou Zhi very much. And he and Xu Jing and the other three have just met, so they naturally favor Zhou Zhi from the heart.
Just now, everyone was talking and laughing, Xu Jing and Fan Jin were arguing, Zhou Zhi and Gu Dingchen just sat at the bottom and listened quietly, and neither of them spoke. Xu Jing said that he wanted to discuss the eight-strand system together, and Zhou Zhi was very happy.
Zhou Zhi now has only the "Book of Rites" being studied, and the rest have all been read and can be memorized. After all, he still has the foundation of later generations, he has a lot of knowledge, and his understanding ability is much stronger than that of the current Ming people, and his reading speed is extremely fast.
Although the Four Books and Five Classics are about to be read, the imperial examination is to do eight strands. But Zhou Zhi didn't know anything about the eight-strand system, and he never did research in later generations.
Today, the eight-strand system should also be on the learning agenda. These people here have all experienced scientific research, and they have a lot of insights and tricks on the Bagu Wenhui, and Zhou Zhi thinks that it will be of great benefit to listen to them now.
But when he suddenly heard Wu Jing's words, he actually asked himself, and Zhou Zhi was also moved in his heart. secretly thought, although this Xu Jing has only learned people, and he was a high school student at the age of twenty-three, but after all, he has an arrogant spirit in his bones.
Zhou Zhi and Fan Jin and others had the same thoughts, could it be that Wu Jing aimed at himself to confirm that the poetry of Nanshan was higher than that of the northerners?
In fact, Zhou Zhi is very clear: "The south is good at poetry, and the north is thick." "In this Ming period, it is absolutely true. As for Fan Jin's desire to compete with Xu Jingyi, it is really not a wise move.
At this time, the northern part of the Ming Dynasty is located in a remote, desolate, sparsely populated land, traffic is blocked, and the people live in poverty, how can they compare with the wealth of the south. Without economic transportation as a foundation, it is an indisputable fact that people in the north will naturally study less, and if they can only learn, they will naturally not be able to reach the south.
It is precisely because of this that the Ming Dynasty will separate the north and the south.
Zhou Zhi smiled slightly, and made up his mind, no matter what kind of psychology Xu Jing had today, he had to deal with it carefully.
The northerners are heavy, and I am thoughtful to show him the heavy one.
Thinking of this, Zhou Zhi respectfully bowed his hand to Xu Jing and said, "Brother Naofu doesn't know, the kid hasn't actually read much, he just started reading three months ago, where will there be any talent to learn, the kid came today to listen to Brother Naofu and the brothers talk about reading, listen to the teachings, and benefit from it." ”
At this time, we must tell the truth, and there must be no lies, which is the thick way of the northerners.
You know, if you lie, you need 10,000 lies to make up for it.
Wu Jing really didn't know that Zhou Zhi had only been studying for three months. I have only been studying for three months, which is equivalent to just enlightenment.
What is the reason why Lu Xingchuan let such a newly enlightened person sit here to accompany the guests?
In fact, he had already seen it just now, Fan Jin and Wei Haogu were talents, and he had also seen Lu Xingchuan's talents. Only this Zhou Zhi is the youngest, and he is dressed ordinary, so he must have something extraordinary. But Zhou Zhi is no longer outstanding, he started reading from his mother's womb, and compared with his knowledge, Xu Jing thinks that he will still be much stronger than Zhou Zhi.
You must know that Xu Jing's family is rich and wealthy, his grandfather Xu Yi and father Xu Yuanxian are all contemporary celebrities, and there is a library building at home, there are many ancient books, and Xu Jing has dabbled a lot.
Xu Jing was indeed unhappy with the argument with Fan Jin just now, and he did want to take this opportunity to show off his talent. But Zhou Zhi said such a thing, which made Xu Jing very embarrassed for a while, which was tantamount to completely revealing Xu Jing's careful thoughts. Xu Jing's fair cheeks couldn't help but blush slightly, and he moved his gaze away, then picked up the tea and slowly took a sip of tea.
Fan Jin listened to Zhou Zhi's truth, and he was quite unhappy in his heart. In his thoughts, he should have exaggerated himself. Everyone here is talented, although you Zhou Zhi is a white body, but you also have to have a better face.
Alas! Zhou Zhi's little brother is still tender after all.
This Wu Jing is very arrogant, it must be suppressed, we northerners are not only thick, but we must not lose to southerners.
Fan Jinyi thought like this, couldn't help but glance at Wu Jing, and said with a smile, "Brother Zhifu doesn't know, although this brother Zhou Zhixian has been studying for three months, he is well-read and memorized, reads quickly, and has the ability to never forget, his three months of reading is comparable to three years of reading for others!" ”
Zhou Zhi heard Fan Jin say this, and couldn't help but secretly complain. This Fan Jin is really open-mouthed, when did I say that I have the ability to never forget? The last time I came to Brother Xingchuan's house to borrow books, I just said that I wanted to speed up my reading and take the small exam the year after tomorrow, but when I got to you Fan Jin, it became unforgettable. Brother Fan Jin, you're going to make me miserable.
Sure enough, Wu Jing's eyes narrowed instantly when he heard this, and he looked at Zhou Zhi again, and said, "I'll just say, Brother Zhou Zhixian must have some skills, and I won't forget it, I, Xu Jing, have only heard of it, but I have never seen it." Hehe! Brother Zhou Zhi, today you might as well let me wait to see how you can never forget? ”
Not only Xu Jing, but even Wu Wending and Gu Dingchen were shocked at first, and then became very expectant.
Fan Jin was a little dumbfounded when he heard that Xu Jingzhen wanted to see Zhou Zhi's ability to never forget. In fact, he just boasted about Zhou Zhi like this, but he just wanted to raise Zhou Zhi's value, so as to earn some face for the talents of the northerners, but he didn't think that this Xu Jing really held on.
