Leaving Li Yuanli's house, Li Gongfu couldn't help but Xu Xian said: "Hanwen, how much did your second poem sell?" ”

He had already guessed from Xu Xian and Li Yuanli's expressions that there was a deal between them.

Xu Xian smiled and stretched out three fingers.

"Thirty taels?" Li Gongfu said happily.

Xu Xian smiled and shook his head.

"Three-two?" Li Gongfu guessed again, "It's a little little, but it's also very good." ”

Xu Xian shook his head again.

"It can't be three coins, right?" Li Gongfu was disappointed.

Xu Xian had no choice but to say: "It's three hundred taels." ”

"What? Three, three hundred taels ?!!! Li Gongfu was already staring at him to the extreme, his face was full of shock and disbelief, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

He worked as a head catcher in the Yamen, and worked hard with outlaws for many years, and the total income of ten years added up to this amount.

Especially Xu Xian's poems can be bought by Xiucai Gong for three hundred taels!!

"Shhhh Xu Xian hurriedly grabbed Li Gongfu and said in a suppressed voice.

Li Gongfu reacted, his head nodded like pounding garlic, and his face was still full of excitement.

Before returning home, Xu Xian suddenly stopped and said to Li Gongfu: "Brother-in-law, this money can be known to my sister, but you must not tell her where it comes from." Let's make up a story first. ”

"Yes, I can't let your sister know. Her big mouth can't keep secrets at all. Li Gongfu nodded.

After entering the house, Li Gongfu saw Li Xu and shouted directly: "Mother-in-law, I have decided to send Chinese to study!" ”

On the way home, he was already deeply annoyed why he didn't send Xu Xian to study early. Go to West Lake and make two poems casually is worth four hundred taels of silver, isn't it the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing in the sky?

If Xu Xian had been sent to study earlier, even if he didn't get into the Jinshi exam, and only took the test for a show of talent and fame, then Yang Zhixian would not dare to order him to be beaten at will because of a trivial matter.

Therefore, he decided that he must be used for Xu Xian to study and test his fame!

When Li Xu heard this, he didn't say a word, and immediately picked up the broom and was about to hit Xu Xian, so frightened that Li Gongfu hurriedly stopped him.

This brother-in-law is the reincarnation of Wenqu Xing, and he will be counting on him in the future, but he can't be broken.

"Don't stop me, don't stop me." Li Xu struggled hard with Li Gongfu's obstruction to beat Xu Xian, and at the same time scolded Xu Xian, "Xu Xian, your boss is not small, why are you still ignorant?" ”

Xu Xian didn't refute, and stood with a wry smile.

Li Gongfu finally snatched the broom and shouted, "You are wrong to blame Hanwen!" Not what you think! ”

"It's not what I thought, what else could it be?!" Li Xu exclaimed excitedly.

Li Gongfu turned his head and said to Xu Xian: "Hanwen, take out the silver taels and show them to your sister." ”

Xu Xian took out the three hundred taels of silver tickets and handed them over.

"These are silver tickets?" Li Xu took the silver ticket suspiciously and looked at it, and the next moment he exclaimed, "Three, three hundred taels?!" How is it so much money?! ”

Then, she stuffed the silver tickets into Li Gongfu's hand and shouted, "Xianggong, do you see if these silver tickets are fake?" ”

"It's true!" Li Gongfu didn't even look at it, he said directly, and then returned it to Xu Xian, "Our family has the ability to speak Chinese and make a lot of money." ”

"Hanwen wants to study and test his fame, and he uses his money. The three hundred taels of silver saved a little, which was enough for him to study for ten years. Li Gongfu said again.

Li Xu couldn't react a little, and said, "Then, what should I do over there in Qingyutang?" Wang Yuanwai has not only praised the Chinese language to me, saying that the Chinese language is intelligent and studious, has spiritual roots, and will become a generation of good doctors in the future. If Hanwen can become a good doctor for a generation in the future and open a medicine hall half the size of Qingyutang on his own, I can explain to my dead father and mother with peace of mind. ”

Xu Xian listened, his eyes couldn't help but moisten, Li Xu's care and love for him was completely sincere, not only pulling him to grow up, but also breaking his heart for his future and future.

My sister is as big as a mother.

"I took the Chinese poems to Li Yuanli, and Li Yuanli praised them, saying that the Chinese poems could be transmitted from the county to Lin'an City." Li Gongfu said.

When Li Xu heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Really? ”

"Of course it's true, if you don't believe it, if you ask Li Yuanli, how can what people say be fake?" Li Gongfu said.

Li Xu nodded and happily took Xu Xian's hand.

Li Gongfu continued: "Therefore, our family's Chinese is a reading seed, and we can't delay." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Li Xu nodded again and again.

Of course, she hoped that Xu Xian would be more promising.

Next, she asked the origin of the three hundred taels of silver, and Li Gongfu directly said that Xu Xian inadvertently met a noble man who was seriously ill on the road, Xu Xian came to the rescue, and the noble man gave three hundred taels of silver as a thank you.

Li Xu will be skeptical.

……

……

On the third day, Li Gongfu put on the long-sleeved brocade shirt that he usually stored at the bottom of the cabinet and only wore on festive or important days, and took Xu Xian to Muyang Academy to study.

Muyang Academy is not in the city, on a scenic hill on the western outskirts of the city, it is the best academy in Qiantang County.

In particular, Muyang Academy is home to a generation of famous Confucians, Zhang Dongzi Jingming, known as Mr. Qiantang (note: people with great prestige often refer to the place where they were born or their important long-term residence).

The so-called famous Confucian, as the name suggests, is a famous and famous Confucian.

Zhang Jingming was born in Jinshi, an official eunuch for 20 years, an official to the Fuxun (equivalent to the modern provincial committee, book, and record), and then resigned to concentrate on studying, and put forward the doctrine of "heaven and earth are self-seeing, heaven listens to self-people, and my heart is the heart of heaven", believing that "although heaven and earth are big, there is a thought of goodness, and a conscience, although ordinary people can be sages." ”

Although Zhang Jingming's theory is contrary to the current mainstream lattice physics of "preserving heavenly principles and destroying human desires", he still has a high reputation in the Jiangnan area.

After a day and two nights, Li Gongfu's brain had calmed down, regained his senses, and felt that it was too late for Xu Xian to start studying at the age of seventeen. As far as he knows, every scholar who has been admitted to the famous academic examination has been studying hard since he was a child.

"Alas, the poem "Spring Trip to Qiantang Lake" cannot be used, and I hope that Muyang Academy will accept Chinese on the thin side of my head." He secretly said in his heart, "As for worshipping under Mr. Qiantang, it's not delusional." ”

It turned out that when Xu Xian and Li Yuanli made a deal, there was an agreement: just in case, Xu Xian could not hype up the poem "Spring Trip to Qiantang Lake" within a year.

Riding a rented carriage, I went all the way from my home to the west gate of the city, and then went out of the city gate, and then walked about three miles to Muyang Academy.

After getting out of the carriage in front of the gate of Muyang Academy, Li Gongfu tidied up his clothes, and then walked towards the gate, Xu Xian followed with a rich bundle in both hands.

Li Gongfu solemnly submitted a letter of worship to the doorman, and as soon as the doorman heard that Li Gongfu was the head catcher of Qiantang County, he immediately turned around and entered the academy to report.

After waiting for a long time, the doorman came out and said to Li Gongfu: "Li Zhutou, Mr. Zhao Wenyuan, vice president of our hospital, is invited." ”

Then he bowed to Li Gongfu and Xu Xian and made a gesture of please.

The dean of Muyang Academy is Zhang Jingming, but Zhang Jingming only focuses on education and rarely pays attention to the miscellaneous affairs of the college.

Li Gongfu was not the slightest displeasure at not being received by Zhang Jingming, but took it for granted. You must know that even if Lord Yang of the county came to visit in person, he may not be received by Zhang Jingming.

He also knew that Lord Yang, who was usually majestic, had to prepare a generous bow to see Zhang Jingming during the New Year's holidays, but Zhang Jingming ignored it.

"There is labor." Li Gongfu said a word, and then took Xu Xian into the academy with the guards.

Entering the academy, the sound of reading aloud is more obvious, the academy is clean, neatly arranged, planted with pines and cypresses, everywhere reveals elegant and extraordinary, Xu Xian likes it very much.

As he passed by a classroom, the doorman stopped and introduced with pride and reverence on his face: "This classroom is a special classroom for Zhang Pingshi to teach students. Look, Zhang Chengcheng is lecturing. ”

Li Gongfu was suddenly in awe, and bowed to the classroom.

Xu Xian bowed his hand to the classroom in a similar manner, and glanced at the classroom with some curiosity.

Through the doors and windows, I saw another old man in a wide robe and green clothes standing on the podium, the old man was fifty or sixty years old, with gray hair, thin body, and a sparkling spirit. Under the podium sat a group of Confucian students, all of whom listened attentively to the old man's teachings.

"Presumably that old man is Zhang Jingming." Xu Xian said secretly in his heart.

After passing the classroom lightly, through a courtyard door, and into a living room.

The doorman turned to leave, and a young man in Tsing Yi came up with tea, and then stepped back again.

After a while, a middle-aged man in Confucian clothes, who thought he was forty or fifty years old and had some good health, walked in.

Li Gongfu immediately got up to greet him and bowed: "Li Gongfu has seen Mr. Zhao. ”

It turned out that Li Gongfu was a head catcher and had a wide range of contacts, and he had seen Zhao Wenyuan, the vice president of Muyang Academy.

Xu Xian also stood up and saluted.

Zhao Wenyuan didn't put on a show, returned the salute closely, and then asked Li Gongfu and Xu Xian to sit down again.

After a few pleasantries, Li Gongfu made his intentions clear, Zhao Wenyuan turned his head to look at Xu Xian, and then asked Xu Xian, "Have you ever gone to school?" ”

"Nope." Xu Xian replied truthfully, "But students are literate and can read medical books." ”

Zhao Wenyuan shook his head, turned back to Li Gongfu and said, "Li Zhutou, I really want to help you, but my uncle really can't enter our academy. It is better to let him go to other private schools for a few years first, and then it is not too late to enter our academy when his studies improve slightly. ”

"The father-in-law is willing to pay more." Li Gongfu hurriedly asked.

Zhao Wenyuan still shook his head: "I can't help." ”

As the best academy in Qiantang County, Muyang Academy is eager to enter for further study, and even students from as far away as Lin'an City come here. And Muyang Academy has always strictly controlled the scale of students, so the threshold has always been very high, and it is not enough to send more bundles.

Although Li Gongfu, who is the head catcher in Qiantang County, has two thin noodles, Zhao Wenyuan thinks that Xu Xian's conditions are too poor.

Li Gongfu pleaded again and again, but Zhao Wenyuan still shook his head, so he had to give up.

After rejecting Li Gongfu, Zhao Wenyuan was a little reluctant and personally sent Li Gongfu and Xu Xian away.

When passing by the classroom where Zhang Jingming was lecturing again, Xu Xian's heart moved, and he said to Zhao Wenyuan: "Mr. Zhao, can students audit Zhang Gong's lecture once?" The students admired Zhang Gong very much. ”

Zhao Wenyuan glanced at Li Gongfu and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Yes." But only listen quietly, and don't say anything to ask Zhang Gong. ”

The latter sentence is said harshly.

Obviously, he thought that Xu Xian wanted to be clever and begged Zhang Jingming directly, but he still gave face to Li Gongfu.

"Students remember. Thank you, Mr. Zhang. Xu Xianzuo thanked him.

Li Gongfu sighed and said to Xu Xian: "Go, don't disturb Zhang Gong's lecture." ”

So, Xu Xian walked towards the classroom, entered through the back door, and then stood at the back of the classroom to listen to the lecture.

After listening to a stick of incense, Xu Xian finally found an opportunity.

I only heard Zhang Jingming ask the students: "How should the way of learning?" ”

All the students raised their hands to answer, but unfortunately Zhang Jingming was not satisfied with these answers.

"Young man standing in the back, you name it." Zhang Jingming looked at Xu Xiandao.

It turned out that Zhang Jingming had noticed Xu Xian a long time ago, all the students were sitting, Xu Xian was standing behind alone, how could he not see it? What's more, Xu Xian has clear eyebrows, beautiful eyes, red lips and white teeth, and is a rare young man.

When the students heard this, they turned their heads one after another, only then did they notice that there was an extra person at the back of the classroom.

Xu Xian already had an answer to Zhang Jingming's question, even if Zhang Jingming didn't ask, he would seize the opportunity to say it.

I saw Xu Xian calmly and respectfully bow to Zhang Jingming and make a big salute, and then replied aloud without humility or arrogance: "Students believe that the way to learn is to know the unity of action, stop at the best, and not talk about it. ”

The day before he went to Muyang Academy, he had already learned about Zhang Jingming, and his doctrine was almost completely different from the current mainstream school of mind. Strictly speaking, Zhang Jingming is the founder of the school of mind in this time and space.

Xu Xian actually knows nothing about the study of mind, but he has a library of ancient Chinese books in his mind.

Therefore, he quickly flipped through the books on the study of the mind, looking for an answer that fit Zhang Jingming's heart.

"The unity of knowledge and action, stop at the best" This is the main academic view of Wang Yinyang, the master of the Ming Dynasty's mental studies, and Xu Xian immediately put it on unceremoniously.
