Looking at the two stacks of thick manuscripts waving in the hands of the two of them, and listening to the excited shouts of the two, Xiao Mo chuckled in his heart, couldn't help but smile bitterly, and sighed secretly.

Sure enough, after hearing the words of Xiao Huan and Fan Guan, Liu Zongsheng and Zhu Ruide both focused their eyes on Xiao Mo, and asked at the same time: "Xiao Mo, are you a self-disturbing layman?" ”

"Mo'er, you wrote a "New Interpretation of the Mean"?"

It was only at this time that Xiao Huan and Fan Guan appeared the two old men behind Xiao Mo, and their faces couldn't help but change.

Considering that these things will be announced to the world sooner or later, and Xiao Huan and Fan Guan are also trustworthy, so Xiao Shenyan had already told the two of them frankly before, but for the reason of fear of creating jealousy, he also told the two not to say these things.

Whether it was Xiao Huan, who learned that Xiao Mo was a self-disturbing layman, or Fan Guan, who admired "The New Interpretation of the Mean", he had already regarded Xiao Mo as his best friend, and at this moment, he was even more impressed by Xiao Mo's knowledge, knowing that Xiao Mo did not want to announce these things to the world, he naturally agreed.

But the two never thought that just after a cup of tea, they had inadvertently divulged the secret in person, and they were both ashamed and embarrassed for a while.

But it was because the two of them were too excited to see Xiao Mo return, and they never thought that Xiao Mo, who was withdrawn by nature, would bring people back.

Looking at the looks of the two people in front of him, and then at Wang Jirui, who was ashamed, Xiao Mo immediately guessed the whole story.

Sighing secretly, knowing that things could no longer be hidden, he simply stopped covering up in a panic, first nodded slightly to Xiao Huan and Fan Guan, and then introduced to them: "Brother Xiao, Brother Fan, this is my teacher, the main examiner of the last eldest son county examination, Mr. Zhu Ruide, Yunzhou Tongzhilang." This is the county magistrate of our single county, Lord Liu Zongsheng Liu. ”

Then Xiao Mo introduced several family members to Zhu Ruide and Liu Zongsheng, Xiao Huan and Fan Guan.

After the two sides greeted each other, looking at Zhu Ruide, Liu Zongsheng, Xiao Huan, and Fan Guan looking at him, the eyes that were either puzzled or fanatical, Xiao Mo shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "You should follow me to the study first, and I will explain it to you in detail there." ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Good! Good! Good!! ”

It's been a long time since Zhu Ruide has praised someone so obviously, but at this moment, looking at the "New Solution of the Mean" in his hand, he was stunned one after another, his hands slapped on the table, crackling, his hands were swollen and painful, but he didn't feel it.

On the other side, Liu Zongsheng, who appreciated "The New Interpretation of the Mean" with Zhu Ruide, was even more excited and blushing, and his expression was fanatical.

An hour ago, after Zhu Ruide came to Xiao Mo's study, as soon as he sat down, he asked Xiao Mo about "The New Solution of the Mean", with a faint reproach.

In the eyes of readers, this is just an article that persuades people to cultivate their self-cultivation, only because it is written by the descendants of Confucius, and has been edited and reviewed by many Confucian masters, so it is listed as one of the four books, Zhu Ruide does not approve of Xiao Mo wasting too much time on this book, nor does he think that Xiao Mo has reached the level of publishing a book.

Xiao Mo didn't explain, but just handed over the "New Interpretation of the Mean" in Fan Guan's hands to Zhu Ruide and Liu Zongsheng for review, and the two didn't care about it at first, but the more they looked at it, the more they became addicted, and the more they watched, the more excited they became, and they could hardly help themselves.

Both of them are discerning literati, so they naturally know what this "New Interpretation of the Mean" represents.

After a long time, the two finally finished reading Xiao Mo's "New Interpretation of the Mean", and reluctantly put it aside, still full of admiration.

Then, both of them looked at Xiao Mo with an incredible look.

After reading this "New Interpretation of the Mean", Zhu Ruide and Liu Zongsheng looked at Xiao Mo differently at the moment. If the two of them just thought that Xiao Mo was a rare young man who was talented and intelligent and knew how to work hard, then at this moment, in the eyes of the two, Xiao Mo was already a future Confucian master.

At least, in terms of the comprehension of the book "The Mean", there is no one in the world who can match it!!

"I'm ashamed to say it, since I got the lift, the old man hasn't read "The Mean" once for many years, this time I read Xiao Mo's "New Interpretation of the Mean", only to know that the book "The Mean" is so wide, the artistic conception is so deep, self-cultivation, life, governing the country and the world, all of them are included, and they are still in the treasure, the old man really doesn't know whether to be happy or ashamed at this moment."

Saying that, Liu Zongsheng suddenly stood up, and actually walked in front of Xiao Mo and bowed to Xiao Mo, and sighed: "Xiao Mo, you just descended from the sky, and today it makes me feel like an initiation. ”

Xiao Mo never thought that Liu Zongsheng, who had always been nagging and sometimes liked to boast, would still have such a side, and when he saw Liu Zongsheng saluting him, he couldn't help but panic, and hurriedly stood up and returned the salute, not daring to say otherwise.

It should have been a happy thing to get the affirmation and appreciation of others, but seeing the eyes of everyone looking at him at this moment made Xiao Mo feel awkward, but deep in his heart, there was some vague satisfaction and excitement.

"Mo'er, is this "New Interpretation of the Mean" really written by you?"

On the other side, Zhu Ruide still had shock in his eyes, and asked Xiao Mo, as if he couldn't believe it.

Xiao Mo nodded with a wry smile and explained: "When I read the book "The Mean" after the county exam, I suddenly felt it in my heart, so it took me a year to write it, so that the teacher will laugh. ”

After receiving Xiao Mo's affirmative reply, Zhu Ruide calmed down, turned his head to Xiao Shenyan and asked, "Brother Xiao, this book was completed by Mo'er independently?" ”

Xiao Shenyan nodded and smiled: "Indeed, Mo'er has spent half of his time in recent years on this book, from the argument, to the corroboration, to the collation, all of which he completed independently. I'm just helping him fill in the gaps. ”

Zhu Ruide nodded and said, "No wonder Mo'er has made such a great progress in his studies in just one year, so it is." ”

And Liu Zongsheng patted Xiao Mo on the shoulder and said loudly: "Xiao Mo will inevitably become a generation of Confucian scholars in the future, and even becoming a three-yuan and first-place is not a problem, haha, my single county is going to use Xiao Mo to become famous in the world." ”

Looking at his expression, he was even more excited than he was to become famous all over the world.

In the next period of time, Xiao Mo continued to accept everyone's praise and answer everyone's questions about "The New Interpretation of the Mean".

At this point, not to mention Liu Zongsheng, even Zhu Ruide, who has always advocated strict teachers and high apprentices, can no longer continue to have any harsh requirements on Xiao Mo at this moment.

As for Fan Guan, because of Zhu Ruide and Liu Zongsheng, he couldn't interject. But his expression on the field was the most excited, if he had only admired Xiao Mo's knowledge before, then at this moment he looked at Xiao Mo with admiration.

On the other hand, Xiao Huan was still holding the original manuscript of "The New Interpretation of the Mean" and reading it non-stop, before he only noticed that Xiao Mo was actually disturbing himself, and did not pay attention to the book "The New Interpretation of the Mean", but now he saw that Zhu Ruide and Liu Zongsheng were so crazy about this book, and they took it to watch, but at the moment they were completely addicted to it, and they were unaware of other people's conversations.

After such inquiries and praises lasted for nearly half an hour, Liu Zongsheng suddenly thought of something, and asked Xiao Mo hesitantly: "By the way, Xiao Mo, I heard Xiao Huan say just now, are you still a self-disturbing layman?" Are you really writing all those bizarre stories that have appeared in the past two years? ”

Hearing Liu Zongsheng's words, Xiao Mo smiled bitterly again.

Why does Liu Zongsheng still remember this incident.

Sure enough, when he turned his head, the smile that had finally appeared on Zhu Ruide's face gradually began to converge, and the eyes that looked at Xiao Mo became stern again.
