When Zhen Ji came back from outside, she was surprised to find three subordinates in coarse green cloth standing motionless in the courtyard, while Yuan Xi lectured in front of them.

The three men stood straight and their heads held high. One of them had tears on his face and was dripping down, but his legs seemed to be in the ground, and he still didn't move.

"Okay, it's your turn...... Lu Fang! Yuan Xi walked up to one of the subordinates with two mustaches and a chin covering the sky, and said, "What are your ideals?" ”

Na Lu Fang slurred: "I...... I don't know what to say......"

"Something to say."

"Please don't laugh at the second son."

"Hmm."

Lu Fangdao: "My ideal is to follow the example of General Zhang Huan, lead the army to recruit the Hu people, and garrison the border passes for my Han Dynasty." Hehe, the villain knows that this ideal is a bit outrageous......"

Although Yuan Xi didn't know Zhang Huan, he expected that he should be a meritorious general, and said, "It's not outrageous." If people don't have ideals, what's the difference between them and salted fish. I have observed that your handwriting is neat, fast and with few errors. It's a specialty. Would you like to stay with me? Start with a chore, and if you perform well, maybe I'll help you achieve your dreams. ”

Lu Fang's whole body trembled immediately, and he was almost about to kneel, but he was held up by Yuan Xi, and quickly nodded: "The villain is willing." ”

"Good."

Yuan Xi walked in front of the third person, and only then did Zhen Ji speak: "Husband." ”

A beautiful scenery entered the eyes of several people, and the four men were dazzled at the same time, staring closely at the bewitching in front of them.

Zhen Ji asked, "Husband, what are you doing here?" Aren't you reading Zhuangzi? ”

Yuan Xi woke up first, coughed, and the three of them lowered their heads at the same time, not daring to look at Zhen Ji anymore.

"These are the ...... who helped me study"

"Do you want help with reading?" Zhen Ji's eyes widened and she looked at him incredulously. Growing up, Zhen Ji sat quietly in the corner holding a book while her siblings got together to play. Every time her brother asked her to play together, she was rejected by her in the name of reading, and over time, everyone called her a female doctor, and her reputation for loving reading was also well known in the Zhen family. However, the three of them assisted in reading, and after reading for so many years, it was the first time she had heard of it.

"Reading books should be paraphrased." Yuan Xi said: "If you just memorize it, but don't understand it, it's useless." If you want to understand, you have to understand the meaning, otherwise it is just swallowing dates. Do you understand? ”

Every time he said "do you understand", Zhen Ji was displeased, it felt as if he didn't understand anything, and he looked condescendingly at the feeling of an idiot. However, from Yuan Xi's point of view, the gap of two thousand years, in a sense, is indeed like looking at an idiot.

Seeing her ignorant look, Yuan Xi gestured: "The first layer, understand first." Comprehend the author's meaning. How to comprehend it, you have to understand the sentence thoroughly, and you can't be ambiguous. What does each sentence mean, and in what context does the author present it. What is the context of the book, what the context, what the internal logic is, should be clear. In this way, the book was read thoroughly. ”

Then he raised his hand up and said, "The second layer, you have to absorb." Use what is useful in the book and leave out what is useless. This has to be added to thinking, annotation is a kind of thinking, turning the ideas in the book into your own opinions, and then exporting them to the outside world is also a kind of thinking. It's best to discuss it again to deepen your thinking. ”

Then he continued to raise his hand and said, "The third layer is to apply what you have learned." What you learn has to be applied in real life. If you don't combine your own environment, and there is no application scenario for the knowledge you have learned, then this book has no value to read. ”

He pointed to the three people who were standing: "I came to them, it is one, to help understand the meaning of the book." Second, everyone discussed together, organized the language in the book, taught each other, and deepened understanding. Third, talk about your own experience and see how the knowledge in the book can help you. Zi said: 'Threesome, there must be my teacher.' That's a good word. ”

Zhen Ji sighed and said, "How can the husband also quote the words of the saint?" ”

Yuan Xi laughed and said, "It's not to learn from you. ”

Zhen Ji didn't know why, but seeing that Yuan Xi was actively reading, she also said happily: "Then the concubine will go and prepare a meal." ”

Yuan Xi said: "Prepare a few more pairs of dishes and chopsticks, these three buddies are eating here today." ”

The three of them were honestly frightened, looking at Yuan Xi and almost crying. In this era, it is unthinkable to eat with the master as a subordinate. The previous seven companions were persuaded by Yuan Xi to leave four people, and only the three of them stayed because of such and such specialties, so they cherished such an opportunity, for fear of being driven away because of their bad performance.

Yuan Xi didn't feel strange at all, anyway, in his eyes, there were no superior and inferior people, only smart people and lazy people. Although these three people are talented in the article, and their experience and insight are not so good, they are better than being diligent, and in the process of copying books before, he has carefully observed, these three people can quickly understand orders, and actively do things, people are also more responsible, and there is no offside move, he will take it for his own use. In the future, even if it is writing, copying and copying books, it is better to be a secretary.

Zhen Ji was a little cramped, not used to eating with outsiders, and after eating hastily, she hid to the side.

After eating, several people began to work again, and they were busy until the evening before completing the annotation of the two chapters of Zhuangzi. The three of them were also tired, so Yuan Xi asked them to come back tomorrow morning.

Zhen Ji was relieved when she saw that people were leaving, and asked: "Husband, I see that you have read so grandly, written so many notes, and have to hold a discussion meeting, so it is inevitable that the teacher will move the crowd." Is it necessary to be so complicated? ”

Yuan Xi said casually while reading the book: "Do something, or don't do it, since you have spent time, you naturally have to do it well." I promised that if you want to finish reading this Zhuangzi, you must finish reading it, not only by yourself, but also by explaining it to you, and giving you to the church. ”

Zhen Ji was moved by the favorability of Ding Ding and jumped randomly, and finally stabilized at 70. It's a pity that Yuan Xi only cared about reading books and didn't notice it for a while.

Zhen Ji looked at his serious appearance, the more she looked at it, the more happy she felt, it turned out that he was not good-looking, but at this time, she could see it really under the lamp, and she didn't feel mediocre and obscene at all, but it was shining a little bit of brilliance, and the gentle light reflected the curves of her face, as if she was about to melt her heart.

"Husband."

"Huh?"

"It's late at night, so it's better to ...... Let's rest together. ”

Zhen Ji plucked up the courage to say this, and after saying it, even she blushed.

Yuan Xi held the scroll and said a vague "um", without hearing the subtext, and said, "There is just a place to ponder, you sleep first." ”

He picked up a pen and wrote on the paper in a strange gesture with two fingers, and as he wrote, he went to see the words on the bamboo slips and the source of the day's transcriptions. Feng Yi's eyebrow bones were raised, and his eyes were bright. A fine drop of sweat ran down the side of his face, but he didn't bother to wipe it.

"Alas......" Zhen Ji, whose cheeks were a little hot, sighed, lay on the couch facing the wall, shrunk her legs, and scolded in a low voice: "What a nerd." ”
