It was still a sunny and good weather just now, and suddenly a cloud flew in, not big or small, just covering the sky above Fengming Academy, this is a dark cloud, also called haze, just like the mood of the teachers and students of the academy at the moment

Wei Ying walked to the back seat at some point, sat side by side with Shen Dao, the two looked at each other, and there was a strong love for being cheated in their hearts, it was too much, that kid actually made a question like this, I don't understand, no one can figure it out!

"Only those who pass this round of assessment are eligible to receive the examination papers of the academy to participate in the official examination. Now take the pen on your desk, write the answer on the silk paper, and tell me what you think of when you see this circle, and how you think of it, how to answer. This is the easiest question, don't tell me that you will be stumped by it! ”

The students were stunned. What kind of topic is this? It's better to take some poems and books in the Spring and Autumn Period, even if you want to test your talents, let everyone become a new poem on the spot, at least there is a place to start, now you have drawn a circle, but how do people start?

Lao Yan Jian touched Meng Ke with his arm: "Xiao Meng, what do you think of when you see this circle?" ”

"Well, I'm afraid it's a gentleman's truth, if there is a student who can figure out this truth, it's a teachable talent. Old Master Yan still don't call me Xiao Meng, just call Ke by his name."

Yan Yuan has the first position among the seventy-two sages of Confucius, and even Confucius sighs that he is not as good as Yan Hui's 'born to know', so Meng Ke has great respect for the Yan family, but it is a little awkward to hear Yan Jian call himself 'Little Meng', which is to be damaged by Bai Dong!

"Xiao Meng, Xiao Meng! That's what my old man likes to call it. Feeling happy, huh? ”

Gave the old man a blank look. Meng Ke felt very helpless; Never mind. People are as old as naughty children, let his old man like it.

After seeing this topic, Mu Xijing was also slightly stunned, and unconsciously looked at Zhao Ji's side face, and found that this big beauty was also frowning and thinking hard, as if she couldn't make up her mind for a while, and sure enough, even this talented girl felt the difficulty? With Bai Dong's habits, this will definitely not be a normal topic, since this is the case. You should not take the usual path, maybe it is the right way to solve the problem?

Mu Xijing's eyes lit up and he began to write quickly.

"This question is so simple, Qin Guoyuan cake, bean paste cake, meat cake, and Lao Qin's round money, aren't these all the answers?" Gan Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, if Bai Dong took any poems, books and dictionaries, he would have to be blind, but if it was such a question, my brother could give you a hundred answers without duplication.

There are also some students like Gan Sheng, most of them are young and shallow in knowledge, and many of them are from the Bai Jiameng Academy; On the contrary, those scholars who were well-known were biting their pens and meditating one by one. Zhao Ji was among them, but she seemed to figure it out quickly. Looking up at Bai Dong, he smiled lightly and began to write.

Kujiu had been looking at Zhao Ji all the time, Cao'er quickly wrote the answer, lowered her voice and said to her, "Sister and sister-in-law, why don't you do the question yet?" In fact, it's so simple" The result was glared at fiercely by the veteran army who patrolled the field, and it was not allowed to hand over and write cheat sheets in the examination room, and the offender was considered to be cheating, and he would be thrown out by the old army; Fortunately, she was the eldest lady of the Bai family, so she was warned first, but if she didn't know it, she would definitely be kicked out of the examination room.

Although he was very dissatisfied with Bai Dong's strange exam questions, no one dared to violate the discipline of the examination room, those old soldiers were too fierce, and those who died would definitely die.

Half an hour passed quickly, and more than 300 answers were all collected by the old soldiers and stacked in front of Bai Dong; Bai Dong picked up one, put it on his left hand side at a glance, and picked up another one, but put it on his right hand, so quickly divided the answer into two piles, each answer was a glance, and he would never look at it a second time.

"Reading the answer so quickly, isn't it decided that the student will stay at this moment? So what are you going to do in two piles? ”

Mo said that it was all the students, and the teachers of the academy were also inexplicable, but when they saw Bai Dong coughing, he picked up an answer from the left hand side, and said with a smile: "When I see the circle, I think of Qin Guoyuan cake, bean paste cake, meat cake, Qin Guoyuan Qian Gansheng, why do you think of these things to eat?" It's not easy to finally think of Qin Guoyuan's money, it is in line with your Gan family's identity. ”

Hearing Bai Dong's words, all the teachers and students laughed. It's a pity that the doctor Gan Long, who has been studying and studying the country all his life, although he is not a first-class scholar, he is also the first person in Lao Qin, who has a deep education, how did he give birth to such a foodie? What do you think of the examination room, the rice family in Liyang Guan City? It's ridiculous. It seems that Dean Bai is still very fair, although he is good friends with the Gan family, he still read Gan Sheng's answer in public, obviously making up his mind to eliminate him.

Gan Sheng looked at Bai Dong angrily, if it weren't for the fact that those old soldiers were really fierce, he would have rushed over to Bai Dong to discuss the law, even if you want to eliminate your brother, you can save me some face, is it okay to bury people like you?

This answer is even more interesting, some people say that he thought of the circle distance, the mountain turtle shell, the sun, the moon, and the beautiful woman's round buttocks Mu Jing, you are the one who took wood at the city gate and earned Zuo Shu Chang 100 gold, right? I have a lot of ideas. ”

Mu Xijing stood up: "It's Mu Jing." ”

"Sit down. I heard that you are a student of my Bai Jiameng Academy? This handwritten book is remarkable, I have been implementing the new text for a short time, you have such a level, you should have practiced deliberately, right? ”

"Mu Jing is from the extreme west, he has no relatives and no reason in Lao Qin, and he has no ability to stand up, if it weren't for the Bai family giving me the opportunity to eat, drink and study, Mu Jing would not know where he is. The dean has a great kindness to me, so I pay special attention to the dean, this Lishu is deliberately practiced, and it is also because Mu Jing has gratitude and admiration for the dean. ”

Mu Xijing's heart tightened, and he hurriedly bowed down in response; Several academy teachers nodded slightly when they heard this, this son can know how to repay his kindness, but it is a pity that he is from afar, although he has studied in the Baijiameng Academy for a few days, he has limited gains, otherwise he would not have given such an unwarranted answer.

"Hehe, I just asked casually, what are you nervous about? Sit down."

"No." Mu Xijing sat down in response. There was a slight uneasiness in my heart. Am I nervous? What a fool. How can you show nervousness in front of someone like Bai Dong? Be careful in the future!

"This answer is sprinkled and hundreds of words are written, is it done by Zhao Kang of Qin State? Ben Zuo has heard of your name, the scholar in Binyang County who is good at dictionaries and songs is you, right? ”

After Bai Dong motioned for Mu Xijing to sit down, he picked up another answer from his right-hand side: "The so-called circle is the circle of the square circle, and Meng Fuzi once said, 'Leaving Lou Zhiming, the skill of the public losing the son, does not follow the rules.'" Mozi also said that if the silk thread enters the cylinder, the color of the outline is green, the silk thread is also green, and the cylinder is red, the silk thread is also red, and the color is not the original silk thread, and people are like silk threads. Its change is also like a silk thread, which is called 'success or failure.' It's also dyed'. If you want to enter the vat and not stain, then you should be a gentleman, so the circle drawn by Baizi is actually not a circle, but 'sincerity, righteousness, objectivity, and knowledge', the way of the university, in Mingmingde good article, good article! Which one is Zhao Kang, please stand up. ”

"Well, I've finally found a good student! Xiao Meng, the old man sees that you are happy and blooming, do you like this Zhao Kang from the bottom of your heart? ”

Lao Yanjian nodded again and again when he heard it, Meng Ke's words were actually from the "University", such a foundation of learning is something that a hundred schools of thought will not oppose, Confucianism should be righteous and righteous, and Legalism is the same, Confucianism wants to be good and knowledgeable, but Mohists and public losers do better than Confucianism. Therefore, it can be interpreted that Bai Dong's painting is not an ordinary circle, but the rules and rules of life! This Zhao Kang is a poor scholar of Lao Qin, but if he can have such knowledge, he is a talent who must be well-versed in history, if Confucius is still there, he will definitely like such a good student.

"Zhao Kang has seen the dean"

A gentleman in his twenties stood up, his chest slightly puffed up and smiling, clearly confident in himself. It's no wonder that he is like this, the answers of Gan Sheng and Mu Jing in front of him are not on the table at all, don't you see that the few sergeants sitting in the back are shaking their heads? But as soon as his answer came out, even Old Master Yan and Master Meng nodded again and again, with joy on their faces; It can be seen that his article is exquisite and accurate, and it is estimated that he has already been favored by gentlemen.

Thinking of this, Zhao Kang glanced at Zhao Ji a little proudly, but saw that Zhao Ji was also looking at him, a pair of beautiful eyes turned again and again, and there was joy between her eyebrows, 'She was really dumped by my article!' That's right, since it's a talented girl, of course I like a talented person, but is it still a stupid and fat person like a pig? ’

"Zhao Kang, let me ask you, didn't this circle make you think of anything else? It's like the meat patty that Gan Sheng thought of, and the mountain turtle shell that Mu Jing thought of? When you see this circle, your first thought is that the principle of 'gentleman's manner' is not true? ”

"The students knew that the dean was testing me. Students think that the foundation of learning is first in words, words, and self-denial, and if they don't understand the truth of 'gentleman's manner', how can they stand up? By the way, this kind of truth will not be objected to by a hundred schools, and it is not considered a school of thought."

Zhao Kang smiled proudly, clenched his fists lightly and said: "As for the meatloaf turtle shell, the sun and the moon, this is something that even children will think of, what is so strange?" How can it be compared to Bai Zi gently drawing a circle to break the truth of 'gentleman's manner'? ”

"That's what you thought"

Bai Dong frowned slightly: "This dean is just strange, you can explain the truth of the gentleman's manners clearly, but why can't you think of the truth that even a child can think of, or you can't use it as an answer?" ”

"What do you mean by this, my dean?"

yes, what the hell does this kid mean? Zhao Kanghua read "University" and had a deep understanding of the truth of "gentleman's manner", this must be a great talent, but this kid grabbed the meatloaf and the turtle shell, what did he want to do?

Lao Yan Jian only frowned slightly, but Meng Ke couldn't sit still, and wanted to get up, but was dragged by Lao Yan Jian: "What do you want to do, have you forgotten our promise to this kid?" ”

In fact, Lao Yan Jian wanted to jump in front of Bai Dong even more, and then grab his neck and shout what do you want, kid! Isn't that satisfying you? People have said the truth of 'gentleman's manner', but why do you hold on to the meatloaf and turtle shell? My old man tells you that if you treat such talents, you should immediately recruit them into the academy and focus on training! If you refuse to teach, my old man will teach you, and my old man's son and grandson will teach you. Meng Ke to teach!

However, as the head of the Yan family and the oldest and respected master on the scene. Lao Yan Jian must maintain his proper demeanor. The so-called gentleman's manner. There are no rules, and now Bai Dong is the vice president, and he has no reason to oppose Bai Dong in front of the students.

"You don't know what I mean? Sit down."

Seeing Bai Dong shaking his head slightly, Zhao Kang only felt inexplicable, but he was a gentleman with rules, and if the teacher didn't say it, then he shouldn't ask more; It's just that when I sat down, I still didn't forget to glance at Zhao Ji and found that she was still smiling at herself. It's not schadenfreude, but it's not like I'm comforting myself. This woman is very eccentric, after all, she is a character in the female lu, so don't go to see him, I'm a gentleman

"This answer is even more interesting, the answerer's name is Chang Qi, he is a scholar of the Qin State, please stand up and say your answer?"

The answer that Bai Dong picked up this time was still on the right hand side, and a scholar stood up with some anxiety and said, "I am the concubine." My answer is that this circle is the sky. Because the sky is round. It is recorded in the "Shangshu Yaodian", and there is also a lot of evidence in the Hetuluo book. The students thought that the dean was a genius in the world, although this log board had a boundary, but the dean's chest was boundless, even if it was a light draw out of this inconspicuous circle, there must be a heaven and earth in it, so this circle made me think of the first thing that came to mind! ”

"You are very good at talking, if you become an official, you must have a great future"

Bai Dong chuckled and said, "But are these all what you thought of?" What people can really 'think' must be related to their own experiences, that is, what they see in their dreams, and they are all the results of their own experiences and encounters. But the answer you gave was exactly what the predecessors said, and even directly extracted the records from the scriptures, so it can be regarded as an answer? Let me ask you, have you ever flown into the heavens to prove that the earth is square? Have you ever flown to the outer heavens and observe that the heavens are round? If not, it's not your own experience, why do you first think that the circle I drew is the sky? The words of the predecessors may not be all correct, and it is better to believe in a book than to have no book; You don't prove it at all, you think it's the truth of heaven and earth, although you are well-read and memorized, but you don't have half of your own opinions, isn't this a nerd? But you're not stupid, and you'll take the opportunity to compliment me, the dean, you're actually a smart person, for the sake of this, I'll give you another chance, do you want to make another answer? It's only one chance."

What does this mean? Old Yan Jian has already begun to be indignant. Although Bai Dong's refutation of this scholar is a bit far-fetched, it is also reasonable, after all, the round sky is just a legend, and no one can prove it, since it can't be proved, this student said that he would think of the sky when he saw the circle, and he was inevitably a little lazy, this kind of person is indeed not a seed of learning. But Bai Dong was willing to give him another chance because he could compliment and talk? Where in the world is there such a truth! Is this fair to other students? And how did a villain who is good at flattery and flattery get such an opportunity?

In fact, what makes Lao Yanjian most angry is not how this student is, but Bai Dong's attitude towards this kind of person, is Fengming Academy a place to educate flattering villains?

"If I give you this opportunity, you will definitely be opposed, because it is very unfair to other students, and you are not a gentleman, just a flattering person who does not follow the rules, so someone will definitely ask me, can Fengming Academy accommodate flatterers like you?"

Bai Dong smiled and looked at the old Yan Jian with an angry face, the old master was just about to get up and drink, but after hearing this, he didn't hurry to get up, probably waiting for his explanation.

"Doesn't everyone feel unfair? I just want to take this opportunity to tell you that there is nothing fair in this world, and if someone wants to be fair in Fengming Academy, then you can leave, because you are not suitable here. What the academy needs is talents who can stand out in an unfair environment, not nerds who only know how to be a gentleman! Also, people who are good at flattery are also talents, just see if you can meet the master who is good at employing people, since it is a talent, why don't I give it a chance? So if you want to compliment me as the dean in the future, then just let me go, but if the compliment is not clever enough and the eloquence is not clever enough, don't blame me for turning his face! ”

Hearing these words, Zhao Ji's eyes were full of brilliance, and she stared at the man on the stage; He is really different, he didn't see the wrong person, this time he came to the right place.

"How can this be true, how can this be true! Did this kid live to be almost ninety years old, or did he live to be ninety years old? It's almost like a success! But this kind of truth, is it appropriate to sue these students now? What they need now is to study and be motivated, recruit saints, and practice gentlemanly rules, these means of self-defense should be slowly understood after the heart matures, how can they be used as the criteria for selecting people now? Stinky boy, are you going to me off old man?

Old Yan Jian was trembling with anger, this time it was finally Meng Ke's turn to dissuade him; Wei Ying and Shen Dao wanted to applaud vigorously, this is the serious way to educate talents, otherwise, if the academy teaches a group of gentlemen and nerds, they will not be killed alive when they leave the academy? In these years, the etiquette has collapsed, but it is not the world of the Zhou metric ceremony

"Thank you, Dean, just now the student was thoughtful, but now that I think about it carefully, the answer just now is really inappropriate, I will change it! Well, when I see this circle, the first thing that comes to my mind is actually a big meatloaf! ”

"Yes, yes, a smart person like you is exactly what the academy needs."

Bai Dong nodded with satisfaction, moved the answer from the right to the left, and then patted the answer on the right hand and said, "The results of the first round of assessment have come out." These answers on the right are unqualified, and all the students who made the answers will be eliminated! Chief Zuo, you are the head of admissions, so please announce the list."

"Slow! Ask Baizi, I answered the truth of the gentleman's decency, which is deeply in line with the way of the square circle, why should it be eliminated, is this reason not as good as a big meatloaf? ”

"I know that you will not be convinced, and I will tell you why you will be eliminated. Zhao Kang, your knowledge is too deep! Maybe you read a lot and have countless experiences, but unfortunately you read and became a nerd. The original intention of this question is to examine the imagination of students who are not influenced by any academic opinion or literary school. For example, Gan Sheng came up with a meatloaf and dough cake Qin Guoyuan money, which seems very simple and ridiculous, but why can't you think of such a simple and ridiculous answer? Or do you disdain to think about it? This is because you are too confined to knowledge, and the higher the knowledge you have, the more you will not be able to accept new knowledge, because you have trapped your mind and abandoned your most direct perception. With your knowledge, you will become a celebrity in the future, but you are not a student needed by Feng Ming Academy, can you understand? ”

Looking at Zhao Kang, who was indignant, Bai Dong sighed slightly: "Remember one sentence, 'People have to break through countless obstacles in their lives, but the biggest obstacle is not in the outside world, it is precisely in the hearts of people like you who are full of learning', this kind of obstacle is called 'knowledge and seeing obstacles', if you can break through, you can make great progress!" ”

Zhao Kang was slightly stunned: "Knowing the obstacle? ”

Several academy teachers glanced at each other, all frowning slightly, lowering their heads and falling into deep thought; Buddhism has not yet been introduced to China at this time, and Bai Dong's throwing out the 'knowledge obstacle' at this time is very deceptive, making them want to refute it, but they feel that there seems to be a great truth in it, and they feel more and more that Bai Dong is unfathomable
