Zhang Song was flattered and said: "Where is it, I am just a scholar, where can I be called a gentleman, oh yes, the two sons are invited, it was my negligence that let the two distinguished guests stand at the door." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

As he spoke, Zhang Song led Liu Xin and the others into a side hall, and said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry for the two of you, my students are resting in the hall, and it is inconvenient to meet guests, so I have to entertain the two sons here." ”

Liu Xin and the others both shook their heads with a smile, indicating that they didn't care.

The three of them sat down, Zhang Song got up and wanted to prepare tea, but was stopped by Liu Xin, "Mr. Zhang doesn't have to be polite, we can just chat here for a while, and we won't disturb Mr. Zhang's afternoon lecture, so we don't need any tea." ”

So Zhang Song sat down again and said with a smile: "I don't know what the two sons want to talk to me about." ”

Liu Xin thought for a while and said: "I heard that Mr. Zhang is extraordinary, but the most powerful thing is Mr. Zhang's memory ability. ”

When Zhang Song heard this, he smiled proudly and said: "It's not bragging, my memory has never met an opponent in Yizhou, whether it is the Four Books and Five Classics or Sun Tzu's Art of War, I can memorize it word for word, and you can choose a book on the bookshelf behind me to test me." ”

As he spoke, Zhang Song pointed to the bookshelf behind him, on which were all kinds of bamboo slips, all of which he was proud of in his collection.

Liu Xin nodded, then got up and came to the bookshelf, looking at the books that had been placed in different categories, and couldn't help but sigh that it was not easy to read.

Although Cai Hou paper has been invented in the Eastern Han Dynasty, but because of the limited process, the paper produced is completely different from the paper used in modern times, and it is not only troublesome to write, but also expensive, so the status of paper in this period is very embarrassing, basically only the royal family will use it, and the amount of use is very small.

Therefore, in this period, the book carrier was still dominated by bamboo slips and silk silks, and it was already commendable for ordinary readers like Zhang Song to have a set of books recorded in bamboo slips.

Liu Xin casually took out a bamboo slip from the bookshelf, and wrote the words "Taishi Gongji", written by Sima Qian.

Presumably everyone knows very well about "Taishi Gongji", this is what later generations call "Historical Records", which is China's first general history of biographies, the author Sima Qian can also be said to be a representative of the historian, and the bamboo slip in Liu Xin's hand is the 125th chapter of "Taishi Gongji" - funny biography.

Liu Xin sat back in his position, showed Zhang Song the name of the bamboo slip in his hand, and then said, "Mr. Zhang, please recite the funny biography in "Taishi Gongji". ”

Zhang Song smiled and nodded, then closed his eyes and began to recite: "Confucius said: "The six arts are governed by one." Etiquette is to be a person, music is to make peace, books are to be Taoist, poetry is to reach the meaning, easy to deify, and Spring and Autumn is righteous. "Taishi Gong said: The way of heaven is magnificent, isn't it a big deal! In the small talk, you can also solve the dispute... ”

Liu Xin and Huang Quan looked at the original text on the bamboo slips and found that Zhang Song had not missed a word by reciting the comical biography, and even every paragraph paused, and the tone changed without any mistakes.

Liu Xin said to Zhang Song with admiration: "Mr. Zhang really deserves his reputation, and I admire it a lot, but I don't know something, with Mr. Dacai, why don't you specialize in career, I think Mr. should be like a fish in water in terms of career." ”

After Zhang Song listened to Liu Xin's words, the smug smile on his face instantly froze, and Huang Quan also looked at Liu Xin with a puzzled expression, because Huang Quan had told Liu Xin before he came that the matter of his career was where Zhang Song's sore feet were, and he couldn't mention it indiscriminately, but now that Liu Xin still mentioned it, Huang Quan felt that the two of them would be kicked out of the door by Zhang Song immediately.

Could it be that Liu Xin forgot?

Of course not.

Liu Xin did this on purpose, and Liu Xin is very confident, Zhang Song not only will not blame himself, but will open his heart to himself, so as to get closer to each other.

After being silent for a moment, Zhang Song did not get angry as Huang Quan imagined, but sighed and said to Liu Xin: "Dare to ask Liu Gongzi, why didn't you despise me and laugh at me because of my ugly appearance when you first met me?" ”

Liu Xin smiled slightly, Zhang Song's question had already been guessed by Liu Xin, and as for the answer, Liu Xin had already prepared, "I have always believed that the beauty of the soul is the real beauty, and I think it is too superficial to use appearance as the criterion for determining opinions." ”

Zhang Song looked at Liu Xin in surprise, and muttered to himself: "The beauty of the soul is the real beauty?" ”

Seeing this situation, Liu Xin hit the railway while it was hot: "To borrow a sentence I once heard, I don't want the world to determine a person's life because of his appearance, what can determine his life should be determined by his character, knowledge and ability." ”

"Although Mr. Zhang has some defects in appearance, but in my heart, Mr. Zhang's talent is enough to make me respect, although some people are beautiful, but they don't learn and do evil, such talents should be despised by us."

"At that time, Confucius preached the world with his talents, and was respected by the people of the world, but he was not attacked by others because of his own image problems; Sun Tzu was tortured and wrote "The Art of War", and Sima Qian became "Taishi Gongji" after the execution of the palace, they were not satirized because of their mutilated limbs, but because their writings have been passed down through the ages and are praised by people all over the world. ”

Liu Xin's words made Zhang Song silent again, but Liu Xin looked at Zhang Song's silently rolling lips and knew that Zhang Song had been moved by his words.

Huang Quan also looked at Liu Xin with admiration at this time, Huang Quan finally understood Liu Xin's purpose in doing this, and Liu Xin's words also benefited Huang Quan a lot.

After a while, Zhang Song's eyes flashed, he got up and made a big salute to Liu Xin, and then said: "Liu Gongzi is talented, today's grace, Zhang Song is unforgettable, and he will definitely repay Liu Gongzi in the future." ”

Liu Xin knew that Zhang Song had already understood, so he replied with a smile: "Where, where, I just said a few nonsense, why should Mr. Zhang worry." ”

Zhang Song hurriedly shook his head, and said earnestly: "Liu Gongzi doesn't have to be humble, as the saying goes, listen to your words, it's better to read for ten years, Mr. Liu's few words made me suddenly, like an enlightenment, let me understand everything, although Zhang Song is not as good as Confucius and sages, but also a hundred times stronger than those in the market, wine bags and rice bags, in the future I will not be inferior to my appearance and figure, so Liu Gongzi for me Zhang Song, there is the grace of recreation, please accept Zhang Song's worship!" ”

Zhang Song said that, he took three steps back, knelt on his knees, and bowed in front of Liu Xin.

You must know that the ancients worshiped their parents in the sky, and as the saying goes, men have gold under their knees, especially for scholars like Zhang Song, this worship is of great significance.

However, Liu Xin still accepted this worship without changing his face, as Liu Xin thought at the beginning, Zhang Song is still a person with low self-esteem after all, and now Liu Xin's words have made Zhang Song regain his self-confidence, which is tantamount to changing Zhang Song's life.

Moreover, if Liu Xin does not accept Zhang Song's worship, it is likely to deal a greater blow to Zhang Song, and even become more inferior, after all, Zhang Song's worship has brought great courage.
