The two chatted together for a while, until it was dark. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Gu Yan wanted to say goodbye and go back, but Wang Yan was kind enough to stay, so Gu Yan stayed in the guest room.

The rare moonlight in the sky is very good. Gu Yan looked at the book he borrowed from Wang Yan for a while, and finally decided to go out for a walk. There is a flower garden at the back of the guest room, there is a small stone table and a few small stone benches in the middle, Gu Yan picked a stone bench to sit down, the evening breeze is cool, and the moonlight is just right. Gu Yan just sat like this, and suddenly a trace of melancholy welled up from the bottom of his heart. People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless. Lived three times, three different environments. What happened in the past can only be seen as a memory. The timeline is different, and the space is not necessarily the same. It was like a dream. Gu Yan smiled bitterly.

"Life has been infinite from generation to generation, and Jiang Yue looks similar every year." Gu Yan read this poem. On this crossing road that doesn't know if there is no end, isn't this poem a portrayal of Gu Yan's life? Gu Yan repeated this sentence twice, feeling as if his heart was blocked, and he had the urge to cry, but then he heard a low and graceful voice.

"I don't know who Jiang Yue treats, but I see the Yangtze River sending water." The sound was low, but it was clearly audible in the night. There was a melancholy in his voice that could not be ignored. Hearing this voice, Gu Yan's heart miraculously slowly calmed down. Gu Yan looked back, but in the dim sky, he didn't see a figure, and after looking carefully, he found that a small half of his skirt was exposed under the tree not far away. The identity of the person hiding behind the tree is self-evident.

Gu Yan showed a hint of a smile, looking at the shadow cast by the tree, the trunk was quite thick, and the person hiding under the tree was facing away from Gu Yan, except for the corner of the skirt, which could still be seen clearly, the others were even more shadowy, and they couldn't really see it.

Gu Yan laughed: "If someone is under the tree." ”

A crisp answer immediately came from under the tree: "It seems to be gone." ”

Hearing this answer, Gu Yan couldn't help laughing: ""Sadness and Return" and "Mountain Ghost" are not against each other at all. ”

The voice under the tree carried a sly smile: "I think "Nine Chapters" and "Nine Songs" match very well. ”

It was a beautiful night.

In the end, Gu Yan still didn't go to the Flower Dynasty Festival's fighting art meeting. However, that Yun Niang is a caring person. Even if Gu Yan was still in-depth, he still found out Gu Yan's name. The stunning "Song of the Cave Immortals" unsurprisingly amazed Yun Niang at the fighting party. And Changzhou Gu Yan's reputation has also spread slowly, of course, the spread of fame also includes this series of rumors about many gods and monsters such as dreams, reincarnation, and mortality, which made Gu Yan stunned. Even Gu Yan received a small stack of flower notes exuding all kinds of fragrances. There are all kinds of graceful and ambiguous poems written on it-—— all of which invite Gu Yan to sit and take a break and spend the night together - by the way, fill in a few small poems for them. Gu Yan declined one by one, but when reading those classics was really boring, he chose to go to Yun Niang to sit there. After all, Yun Niang's piano sound was the best piano sound Gu Yan had ever heard.

In order to build momentum for his own imperial examination, and also to dilute the influence of the "Song of the Cave Immortals". Gu Yan finally finalized the release time of the "University Chapters and Sentences" and the "Annotations on the Analects", just four months before the state exam. As for "Mencius" and "The Mean", they plan to be released after the state test. This order also follows Zhu Xi's original intention, first reading "University" to determine its scale; Read the Analects for the second time to establish its foundation; read "Mencius" for the second time and watch its development; Read "The Mean" for the second time, in order to seek the subtleties of the ancients. However, Gu Yan borrowed some of the ideas about "science" and made some adjustments, after all, although Gu Yan very much hoped to leave a name or something in a thousand years, but Zhu Xi's set of science, after all adjustments in modern times, is basically based on "qi" as the origin of heaven and earth. Take "reason" as the outline of heaven and earth, and "reverse its original heart" as an important way to "learn from things". This set of four-book chapters and sentences can be said to have taken a lot of effort from Gu Yan. It is not an easy task to integrate the commentaries of the scriptures with the ancient naïve materialism, science, and mind. This is also possible thanks to some "advanced" information in memory.

The imperial examination system of the Song Dynasty was relatively fair, not only with a vague name system, but also with a transcription procedure. When Gu Yan thought of this, he always felt a little melancholy in his heart, he was not famous in modern times before, and his handwriting was not very good, but now he has finally practiced a good hand, and fame is also at his fingertips. However, there are still two provisions: vagueness and transcription. But even so, fame is necessary. But it can't stop others from thinking. Especially now that rumors about Gu Yan are flying all over the sky.

One month after the printing of the "University Chapters and Sentences" and "Annotations on the Analects", it has been calm. After two months, its popularity exploded. There is no one in Changzhou who doesn't know the name Gu Yan, but in just two or three months, Gu Yan's reputation has intensified, and it has spread almost throughout the entire Great Song Dynasty. The people who came to visit almost broke the threshold of the Gu family - you know, Gu Yan is still in a state of sojourn. There are even many people squatting at the door, just waiting for Gu Yan to go out. There was also a carriage that stopped Gu Yan to argue with him, such as whether heaven and earth were born from 'Tao' or 'Qi'. Let Gu Yan be said to be overwhelmed. simply did not do anything, announced that he would study behind closed doors and prepare for the imperial examination. I lived a life of not going out of the door and not stepping out of the second door. For this reason, Wang Yan made fun of him again.

Time passed quietly, and the state test was about to begin.

PS The sentence "If someone is under the tree" is obtained by Gu Yanhua with "If there is someone under the mountain" in "Mountain Ghost", one of the "Nine Songs" in Chu Ci. It's a joke that the girl hides under the tree, like a mountain spirit like a mountain ghost. Of course, the mountain ghost described by Qu Yuan is also a beautiful and infatuated mountain elf. This sentence is not pejorative. The girl quickly replied: "Exist as if you don't see" This sentence comes from Chu Ci's "Nine Chapters", which is ironic that Gu Yan can't even see what exists clearly. The titles of "Sad Return to the Wind" and "Mountain Ghost" are obviously not right, while "Nine Songs" and "Nine Chapters" both have the same 'nine' character. Strictness doesn't count as a fight. So the girl's answer is 'matching' instead of fighting.
