Liu Xiu glanced at the scripture and laughed, "Really? ”

"A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." The white-faced scholar who was suspected of being a eunuch said categorically. Standing in the crowd, he always felt that those people were looking at his smooth lips and chin, like sitting on felt, just wanting to leave quickly, this poem was pointed by him, in fact, it is not difficult, if Liu Xiu can solve it, he is nothing more than an apology, turn around and leave, leave this place, if Liu Xiu can't solve it, hum, then I can't complain that he will ridicule a few more words, out of this evil breath, presumably the people next to him will only say that Liu Xiu is really a wild man, and he can't even solve such a simple poem, and he won't blame him for being inferior.

Liu Xiu read the context of this poem carefully on the stone tablet, and his heart was settled. Although Lu Zhi's knowledge is mainly in "Books" and "Rites", it does not mean that he does not know poetry, but he is not good at it. He had roughly read through the three hundred poems of the Book of Songs, and this poem was naturally among them, and he was quite insightful, and he once debated a few sentences with Lu Min.

"Zheng Feng?" Liu Xiu deliberately said in an uncertain tone.

The scholar nodded a little disappointed, but he was not careless, originally he didn't expect Liu Xiu to be ignorant at all, although he was young, but after all, the kid just now called him sir, and if he can be a teacher, he must have a little knowledge. However, looking at his uncertain appearance, it is estimated that his knowledge is limited.

"Clothes?"

The scholar nodded again, and said impatiently, "You don't have to make a gesture and explain the meaning to us." ”

"Hehe, please advise Gao Ming." Liu Xiu politely arched his hand to the people around him, and then explained the general meaning, although he didn't dare to say how precise, but the basic meaning was good, but he deliberately left a blank, and the word "crazy child" was not explained, the scholar listened, immediately raised his eyebrows, and immediately pointed to the word and asked: "How do you say this word?" ”

"This ......" Liu Xiu frowned in embarrassment, "Let's not talk about it, I'm afraid of irritating you." ”

"What does this word stimulate me?" The scholar's eyebrows fluttered and he said, "Tell me." ”

"You're not ......" Liu Xiu glanced at him again, and smiled: "I'm afraid you don't." ”

The scholar was stunned, and then he understood, and he sneered: "This gentleman is really talented, you think about everything three ways, you probably forgot a word from the master." ”

"What?"

"Three hundred poems, in a word: thinking is innocent." The scholar smiled chicly: "Let's talk about it, is this the reason?" He can even associate the interpretation of poetry with selfishness, which shows that he has distorted the original intention of the master, this book ...... Reading it is also in vain. ”

Liu Bei and Mao Zong glanced at each other, although they didn't believe that Liu Xiu didn't understand this word, but they couldn't understand why he misunderstood this word. This word is just a particle, and it has no real meaning, Liu Xiu has explained the whole poem, why don't you know such a simple truth?

Only Zhang Fei was silent, with his understanding of Liu Xiu, this ten ** should be a pit, just waiting for the guy who is neither male nor female to jump in.

"This girl...... No, this brother. Liu Xiu waved his hand, signaling this benevolent brother not to get excited, frowned, and asked unconvinced: "Why do I think of evil?" ”

The scholar sneered: "You don't even think about a tone word, aren't you evil?" ”

"Is this a modal word?" Liu Xiu tilted his head, stopped smiling, and stared at him seriously. The scholar was a little uncomfortable by him, hesitated for a moment, and felt that there was no problem, and then asked, "Isn't it?" ”

"And!" Liu Xiu snorted, although he didn't say anything, but the disdain between his eyebrows was revealed. The scholar was so excited by him that he said loudly: "Then I have to ask Gao Ming, how to interpret this word." ”

"I said, you probably don't have that."

"You ......" The scholar blushed, eager to lift the hem of his clothes for everyone to verify his identity, and he said loudly: "You mean to say that this word refers to a penis?" ”

"Exactly." Liu Xiu said without changing his face.

The scholar laughed loudly, extremely happy. The onlookers next to him were also stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing, shaking their heads while laughing, disapproving Liu Xiu's explanation. Liu Bei and Mao Zong glanced at each other and smiled bitterly, both feeling that Liu Xiu had gone off the rails this time, and in order to stimulate the scholar, he ended up hurting himself.

Liu Xiu looked at them quietly, and waited until the scholar stopped laughing and squinted at him, and then asked lightly: "Excuse me, ancestor of ancestors, what is the original character?" ”

The scholar was stunned for a moment, and looked at him coldly: "Is it a word?" ”

"Exactly." Liu Xiu nodded solemnly, and there was no joke on his face: "You don't understand ancient Chinese?" ”

As soon as he heard this, the scholar suddenly became a little short of breath. At this time, although the ancient scriptures and the modern scriptures are parallel, they are all written in modern texts, not in real ancient texts, and there are few people who can practice ancient texts, and he doesn't know anything about this.

"This brother Tai, the original character of the ancestor is and, does it mean that it comes from the yang?" Someone next to him shouted.

Liu Xiu looked up and saw a young man standing on the periphery, who looked very ordinary, but there was a hint of banter on his face. As soon as he saw Liu Xiu looking at him, he arched his hand and walked away from everyone.

And the word refers to the penis, that is, to the man. The word refers to the feminine, that is, the woman, there are men and women, so that the clan can reproduce, and it is for the ancestors. ”

"Nonsense!" The scholar was unconvinced and said loudly: "When can a woman be called an ancestor?" ”

"Then what do you know about the Yellow Emperor's surname?"

"The surname is Xuanyuan, and the surname is Gongsun, and the surname is ...... Imperial concubine. The more the scholar spoke, the weaker his voice became, and finally he simply stopped speaking. Liu Xiu sneered and asked: "The ancestor of mankind, men have Fuxi, women have Nuwa, there are men and women, can they be ancestors, how can people be born without women?" Weren't you born of a woman? You said that you have been studying in Taixue for more than ten years, I didn't believe it at first, but now I believe it, with you reading like this, let alone studying in Taixue for more than ten years, it is a lifetime of reading, I'm afraid don't want to become a teacher. It's okay if you can't read the book, but you're crazy, and when you open your mouth, you say that others are savages, so what are you? Crazy boy or stupid? ”

The scholar was stunned and speechless, especially the last sentence, he didn't think about it at first, but when he thought about it, he immediately blushed and wanted to scold, but he couldn't think of a more direct and rude word than these two words, so that his throat gurgled and his hands and feet trembled.

"Oh, I forgot you didn't." Liu Xiu added another sentence viciously, turned around and left. Zhang Fei and the others also understood, covered their mouths and laughed wildly one by one, and followed closely. The young man thought about it, couldn't help but laugh, shook his head helplessly, glanced at the middle-aged scholar who had completely collapsed with pity, and chased after him.

"This brother, please stay."

"What else?" Liu Xiu stopped, looked at him curiously, and said in his heart, don't come to ask for teaching again, my half bottle of water can't help asking, today's lucky victory is purely because the bad year has hit the muzzle. If you ask again, it's my turn to catch the blind.

"Dare to ask, are you Liu Xiu and Liu Deran from Zhuo County?"

Liu Xiu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly nodded back: "Dare to ask what the foot is?" ”

"Cao Ying, I saw Senior Brother Lu Zixing at Mr. Cai Bojiao's place just now, Mr. Cai wanted to meet you, so I volunteered to come out to look for you, but I didn't expect to see a good scene."

Liu Xiu was stunned, "Are you Cao Ying Cao Mengde?" ”

Cao Ying was also stunned, "You know me? ”

I know, I know too much. Liu Xiu almost screamed, and said in his heart, no matter how idiot I am in history, I won't know that you are a white-faced hero. It's just that...... This kid's face is not white. When he saw Cao Ying's surprised look, he hurriedly covered it up and said: "Ahem, as soon as I entered Luoyang, I heard that Cao Mengde, who made five-color sticks, didn't expect to see it here." Look up for a long time. ”

Cao Ying blinked and smiled. Making a five-color stick was a matter when he first entered the career as a lieutenant in northern Luoyang, although the official was dismissed after a few days, but this matter did have some benefits for his reputation, and now I heard Liu Xiu say that he knew him because of this, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud, but he didn't expect Liu Xiu to be lying.

"I'm ashamed, it's a little thing, it's not worth worrying about." Cao Ying felt that Liu Xiu had a great appetite for him, and walked up to pull Liu Xiu's arm, but after thinking about it, he was a little embarrassed to take it back. Liu Xiu is a student of the great Confucian Lu Zhi, just heard him say to explain the ancient text, another great Confucian Cai Yong was very appreciative of his calligraphy, and specially asked him to invite Liu Xiu to talk, with these two people appreciated, Liu Xiu's fame is expected, and he is eunuch, has never been valued, although Liu Xiu said politely, I don't know if it's true or not, maybe it's just a polite statement.

Cao Ying smiled: "Mr. Cai is waiting for you, let's go quickly." ”

"Mr. Cai waiting for me?" Liu Xiu is inexplicable, what is there that Lu Min can't say clearly, and you want me to go?

"You'll know when you go." Cao Ying didn't talk much, Liu Xiu didn't say anything when he saw him, and he didn't want to ask forcibly, so he asked Mao Zong and them to wait on the side, and he followed Cao Ying to the inside. After walking a short distance, I only heard an exclamation from the other side: "Oh no, vomit blood, vomit blood, call the doctor!" ”

Liu Xiu turned his head and saw that there was chaos next to the stone tablet, and then several people hurriedly carried a scholar away, looking like that, it should be that stupid and angry vomiting blood.

"It seems that you are not only strong in martial arts, but also good at lip kissing." Cao Ying said with a forced smile.

"It's because he doesn't have enough kung fu to nourish his own qi, so he can't complain about me." Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders casually, and said in his heart that this matter was a bit of a big problem, and after a few quarrels, he actually scolded people to vomit blood, am I Kong Ming's demon?

Liu Xiu followed Cao Ying into a school, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw piles of bamboo slips and silk books, more than a dozen Confucian scholars were busy, and a middle-aged man with a round face who looked like he was forty or fifty years old and Lu Min were sitting opposite the books, and when he saw them walking in, he asked puzzledly: "Meng De, why have you been there for so long?" ”

Cao Ying couldn't help but laugh, first introduced Cai Yong to Liu Xiu, and then told him what happened just now. Cai Yong listened, raised his eyebrows, which seemed a little too long, raised his head and said to Liu Xiu: "You know ancient Chinese?" ”

Liu Xiu had studied seal carving for imitation calligraphy and painting, and he had been involved in oracle bone inscriptions and gold inscriptions, and he had also turned over the text and interpreted the characters several times, and he was indeed no stranger to the so-called ancient texts, so he nodded and said: "I know a little bit about it." ”

"And the word is yang, and the word is yin?" Cai Yong pondered for a long time, then turned his head to Lu Min and said, "Although this sounds incredible, but when you think about it, it can't be said to be completely unreasonable. ”

Lu Min was embarrassed.

Cai Yong remembered that Liu Xiu was still standing, and hurriedly waved his hand, motioned for Liu Xiu to sit down, and said a little apologetically: "Look at me, when it comes to learning, I even forget etiquette." Deran, I asked Meng De to invite you here because I read the book you wrote for Lu Zigan. Your calligraphy, I like it very much, no, appreciate it very much. Cai Yong looked at Liu Xiu with a smile, "I heard Zixing just say, you are looking at the rain wall and understanding the brushwork, seeing the peach blossoms and understanding the meaning of the book, but is there such a thing?" ”

Liu Xiu smiled slightly and nodded without changing his face.

Cai Yong rubbed his hands and praised repeatedly: "Genius, genius, I have studied for many years, and I have made a small success in asking myself, but after reading your calligraphy, it is really an eye-opener." You just looked at the handwriting on the tablet, what is your opinion? ”

Liu Xiu is embarrassed, and Cai Yong is known as the most versatile scholar in the Eastern Han Dynasty, whether it is scripture or miscellaneous studies, or calligraphy and painting, he is a well-deserved first person, and now he actually asks for advice from his own impostor, which is a bit ...... It's a bit overwhelming. However, he also knows in his heart that Cai Yong's skills must be deeper than him, but after all, he has not gone through those evolutions, nor has he seen so many calligraphy with different styles of calligraphy, and his vision is worse than him, and at this time, the style of calligraphy has just turned into regular script from the seal, and the rules are far greater than the rhyme, no matter whose calligraphy it is, it always tends to be solemn and solemn in terms of charm, and when he sees his beautiful calligraphy, he naturally feels that his eyes are bright, and Cai Yong is no exception.

"Mr. handwriting, skill is the first in the world." Liu Xiuxian praised sincerely, and then said: "You can get in and out, you can put it in and you can put it, and you can enter the realm of freedom. ”

Cai Yong twisted his beard, thought about it, nodded thoughtfully, didn't say anything, just glanced at Liu Xiu deeply, then turned his head and said to Lu Min: "Your father is not in Luoyang, and I didn't expect you to come." In this case, you go to see your grandmother first, and I'll think about it later. ”

Lu Min bowed in agreement.

Cai Yong said to Liu Xiu again: "I heard Zixing say that you have the heart to learn, but you were busy with military affairs some time ago, and your learning was a little delayed. Now in Luoyang, there is no military affairs to disturb, if you are interested, you can come to Taixue, those scriptures are engraved on the stone, you can figure it out at any time, if you have any questions, you can also come to ask me. ”

"That's great." Liu Xiu hurriedly thanked him.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me, I'm also selfish." Cai Yong smiled: "I won't tell you, after reading the book last time, I wanted to find you." You read so many articles to be examined, I was so busy that I was dizzy, but there are still so many grave debts to be repaid, now it's okay, you can help me write these debts, and those people don't object. Thinking of the smugness, he couldn't help but laugh. His voice is very clear, like the sound of a piano, and it sounds very comfortable.

Liu Xiu was stunned, and was about to say a few words of modesty, when Cai Yong interrupted him: "Zigan and I are friends of Mo Zhi, since you are his disciple, it is not too much for me to summon you while he is away." If you don't have any opinions, we'll settle it. By the way, Zixing, tonight I will hold a banquet in the mansion for you, and a few of you young people will come together. Mengde, if you have time, you can come too, I won't send someone to invite you. ”

Cao Ying was overjoyed and hurriedly responded: "Mr. has an appointment, so naturally I can't ask for it." ”

"Hahaha......" Cai Yong laughed, picked up the pen, and was not polite: "You guys go get busy first, and if you have anything to say in the evening." I have a lot of things on hand, so I won't leave you to sit longer. ”

Lu Min got up and said goodbye to Liu Xiu and went out, and Cao Ying also came out and walked outside together. He was in a very good mood, talking affectionately with Lu Min and Liu Xiu, and there was some flattery in his words. Lu Min didn't care, he took it for granted, but Liu Xiu felt a little strange, he thought that Cao Da Jianxiong should be a domineering person, but he didn't expect to talk to him in this tone. He immediately thought of Liu Bei, although that big hero was outgoing and cheerful, but to be honest, if he wanted to say that he could achieve a career in the future, especially in the world, he probably didn't even believe in Li Ding, a famous man.

Xu Shao said that Cao Ying was a capable minister who governed the world and a hero in troubled times, and probably didn't expect that this hero would actually take over the Han dynasty.

Whether it is Liu Bei or Cao Ying, they themselves may not know where they will go in the future, the current Cao Ying just wants to be a celebrity and enter the office, and Liu Bei just wants to enter the Taixue, study hard, go up every day, and find an official and a half-post in the future, and he can surpass his father Liu Hong's county order level, and he will probably be satisfied. Whoever tells them that "you will divide the world in the future" probably even thinks that this person is crazy, or they want to trap them in a great rebellion.

What about me? Liu Xiu suddenly thought of himself, if I devote myself to my career, where can I go, can I save the building from the future, or become one of the heroes who are competing for the deer?

Liu Xiu was concerned about silver, and suddenly heard a commotion in front of him, looked up, and was immediately taken aback, dozens of scholar-like people scuffled together, foul words and foul words danced together, stones and sticks flew together, and more people were coming not far away, if they were not wearing Confucian shirts but shirtless, they would be no different from the bewitched boys in Hong Kong movie baths, and there was a bloody battle.

"What's going on?" Liu Xiu and Lu Min asked Liu Bei and Mao Zong in unison. Liu Bei didn't have time to explain, so he pulled them and ran, and said as he ran: "Hurry up, hurry up, these nerds are crazy, for the explanation of a few words, they actually ignored Sven and started a group fight." ”

Liu Xiu saw that there was blood on Liu Bei's face, and immediately guessed that this matter might be related to him again, this troublemaker, how could he be everywhere. He glanced at the crowd that was getting bigger and bigger, and didn't dare to stay, followed Liu Bei and Mao Zong all the way, got out of Taixue, and met Zhang Fei and Mao Yan, who had already escaped first, so he breathed a sigh of relief and stopped to ask what was going on.

"Don't mention it." Zhang Fei waved his hand, and said a little unlucky: "Sir, after you left, the stupid and vomited blood and fainted, and then a few people came to ask us about the guilt, how do we understand that, so we fooled a few words, those people said that we were talking nonsense, and refuted us seriously, but I didn't expect someone next to me to listen to it, saying that they were also talking nonsense, and they didn't understand it at all, and the result was ...... As a result, the more noisy and fierce it became, the more and more people came, and finally we actually started to move, and we saw that the situation was not right, so we ran away while they were not paying attention. ”

Mao Zong breathed a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect this group of stupid and desperate people to be scary enough, I ran a step slower, and I was almost trampled to death by them, so Xuande turned around and pulled me, or I could hang today." ”

Liu Xiu looked at the battle of Zhenghao, which was comparable to the spectacular scene of the battle of Liangqu Mountain, and muttered: "I'm dizzy, a bunch of stupid people!" ”
