"This brother, I don't know your name?" Liu Yuan remained silent, and asked the middle-aged gentleman who was a little shabby with a smile.

"Excuse me, bow Changzhang, Minggu, shopkeeper Liu is polite." The middle-aged scholar who took the lead in making trouble reluctantly saluted Liu Yuan, and said with some ignorance.

Liu Yuan called him a brother, in fact, he was a fellow of his peers, that is, he was a scholar, and he was famous for Liu Yuan's talent, which was not a conversation, but Zhang Gu reluctantly replied, but he was called a businessman, obviously not giving Liu Yuan face, and slapping his face in public.

"It turned out to be Brother Zhang, I heard just now that you have a lot of complaints about the new edition of the book from my Moyun Study, I don't know what's going on?" Liu Yuan still said with a smile on his face.

As soon as he got down to business, Zhang Gu immediately put on the face of a "defender" and said angrily: "Printing books is a good thing, but you are just a lowly businessman, what right do you have to change the book of sages, isn't this blasphemy against the saints?" In vain, I used to use you as a confidant, but I didn't expect that a businessman is a businessman, and he will never be able to change his nature of speculation, and what kind of punctuation marks are forcibly inserted into the Book of Sacred Words, which is simply insulting. ”

The more Zhang Gu spoke, the more angry he became, and when he talked about the back, his whole face turned red, and he looked hideous and foaming at the mouth.

Zhang Gu, really a person as his name, stubborn, not understanding world affairs, not understanding how to understand, a businessman on the left and a lowly on the right, offending people when he opens his mouth, no wonder he is so bad, nearly half a hundred years old is still a scholar, and he didn't even get into the Jinshi, and when he saw the clothes that were so old that he seemed to pick up on the ground, he knew that he was living a very poor life, this is the legendary nerd, and he is stupid to read.

"This variance" Liu Yuan said very calmly: "The first page of the new edition of the book shows that the punctuation marks are only used for auxiliary purposes, and the whole book is printed strictly according to the original book. Without adding a word or subtracting a word, where is the words of the saint in vain, besides, what is the price of the books sold on the market now, and what is the price of my Moyun study? Sixty texts, only sixty texts, where is there such a high-quality, low-cost book? Because there are more annotations in this book, the cost has increased greatly, so I have added forty texts as appropriate, to say something from the heart. I am losing money and making money, this has nothing to do with any speculative drilling, I use my own strength to promote the doctrine of the sages and educate all sentient beings. Although I dare not say that it has the merit of edification, it is impossible to talk about blaspheming the words of the saints, right? ”

Liu Yuan's words are reasonable. It's hard to find fault with it.

Classical word for word. Others often sell two or three hundred wen, thousands of wen, Liu Yuan only sells dozens of wen here, according to the current cost, it is indeed a loss of money to make money, saying that he speculates in the camp. It didn't make sense at all, the scholars nodded again and again, and even many of the scholars who scolded Liu Yuan as a profiteer just now began to ease their faces.

"But. However, if you add punctuation marks like this, we will lose the interest of reading and hyphenation, and adding those so-called punctuation marks is simply redundant. Zhang Gu said through gritted teeth.

When I get a new book, I slowly scrutinize and peck at the deep meaning of it from a text, and every time I solve a doubtful and difficult point, I feel secretly proud in my heart, which is the fun of many literati.

Liu Yuan said with a relaxed face: "Literacy and hyphenation, slow scrutiny, there is indeed nothing wrong, I remember very clearly, the first book from my Moyun study is also the Book of Songs, which is strictly printed according to the original, and there is no punctuation mark in the middle, you say you want to slowly scrutinize or something, you can buy the old version, there is no need to spend more money to buy the new version." ”

"This" Zhang Gu's eloquence is comparable to Liu Yuan, and when Liu Yuan refuted it, he was suddenly out of words, but he still didn't give up, and said stubbornly: "Ridiculous, ridiculous, let your teeth be sharp, this saint's words can't be changed in the slightest, otherwise it will be disrespectful to the saint and insulting." ”

Ya, so stubborn, can't say it, and came sideways.

Liu Yuan was no longer polite to him, and said coldly: "According to what you said, the words of this sage cannot be changed, what the sage says, we have to do it, right." ”

"Of course." Zhang Gu said as a matter of course.

"That's good" Liu Yuan said unceremoniously: "The saint has words, but he doesn't say anything when he eats, and he doesn't say anything when he sleeps, why did I talk about it when I saw you eating in the restaurant opposite a few days ago?" ”

Liu Yuan recognized this guy, when the Moyun study first opened, he sat at Liu Yuan's table and talked about it, he bought a copy when it opened, and said that it was a pity that there were too few varieties, and what he was wearing at that time was also this old clothes, so Liu Yuan remembered it very clearly.

"This, this," Zhang Gu knew what to say for a while.

Like the current gathering of scholars, while eating and drinking, discussing poetry and exquisiteness, and practicing wine orders or something, the more lively the better, how can anyone sit together and eat without saying a word.

Seeing that he had nothing to say, Liu Yuan continued: "There is an ancient saying that there are clouds, sleep like a bow, sit like a clock, stand like a pine, a scholar should be as quiet as a virgin, move like a red rabbit, know shame, understand etiquette, Zhang Chi has a way, look at you, for a little thing, you actually smashed people with books, bullied the weak, showed a hideous face, and spit arrogant words, don't say it, these are all taught by saints." ”

"Well, that's a good point."

"That's it, I also think that the guy surnamed Zhang is making trouble unreasonably."

There were people in the crowd who applauded, it turned out that such a thing happened, and all of a sudden attracted the people around, three floors inside, three layers outside, so that the whole avenue was blocked, and many carriages were parked on the side of the road.

Among them was a carriage of great workmanship, and the horses pulling the carriage were so handsome that even the coachmen who drove the carriage were powerful, and if you looked into the carriage through the window, you would see an old man with a stern expression, dressed in a purple robe

Seeing that so many people at the scene were cheering for Liu Yuan, Zhang Gu suddenly became anxious, and couldn't help but point at Liu Yuan and say: "You, you, you are sophistry, anyway, the words of the sage, you will never be allowed to blaspheme this lowly businessman." ”

Liu Yuan is now confident, so he has the heart to tease him: "Brother Zhang, what you say about the sage is right, we must abide by it, and we can't change it at will." Right. ”

"This is natural." Zhang Guleng paused, he didn't know why Liu Yuan was suddenly so good at talking, but he subconsciously felt that Liu Yuan's words were right, so he naturally responded.

"I remember a sage who said, [neighbors look at each other, chickens and dogs hear each other, and people do not interact with each other until they are old and dead], this is the words of a sage, Brother Zhang, why don't you respect the Hadith. Keen to travel and call friends? Liu Yuan said slowly.

"No, this is what Lao Tzu said, we are learning the way of Confucius and Mencius." Zhang Gu's knowledge is not bad, and he immediately retorted.

Liu Yuan said righteously: "Ridiculous, Lao Tzu is also a sage." You mean, what Lao Tzu said is nonsense? Misleading the world? ”

"Don't dare. Can't. Zhang had no intention of doing so, and he had no intention of accusing the Holy Temple. Liu Yuan's accusation frightened Zhang Gu and denied it again and again.

Lao Tzu has a very high status in the minds of all scholars, and many of his thoughts and words are regarded as classics by later generations. "Tao Te Ching", "I Ching" and "Analects" are considered to be the three most far-reaching ideological masterpieces in China, where can Zhang Gu afford to judge the sages.

"Moreover, Lao Tzu is the teacher of the Confucian sage, and Lao Tzu said that old and dead do not get along. Confucius traveled around the world to propagate the doctrine of Confucianism, do you mean, does it mean that Confucius was a villain who did not respect his teacher and deviated from the scriptures? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, don't dare" Zhang Gu wanted to refute, but he couldn't find a reason to refute, Liu Yuan's big hat after hat was buttoned up, and he was now in a cold sweat all over his face.

"I don't dare, that's not either, I think Brother Zhang is very contradictory." Liu Yuan sneered and said: "Master Sun has learned to be flexible, but he is blindly stubborn and does not understand the golden mean, I see that you have lived to a dog all these years." ”

"Ha Lu Ha ~~~~"

"Haha"

Many onlookers laughed, Zhang Gu's domineering appearance just now, many people couldn't see it, and now they saw that he was only parried by Liu Yuanshu, and he didn't have the power to fight back, and they all laughed happily.

When it comes to chewing words and searching for scriptures, Liu Yuan is not his opponent, but when it comes to what he says, Liu Yuan has thousands of years of knowledge accumulation and summary than him.

Zhang Gu was angry, his mind was hot, and he didn't care about any etiquette, pointed at Liu Yuan again, and scolded unreasonably: "Confucius is Confucius, you are you, you are just a lowly businessman, how can you compare with Confucius Sage, I don't know what it is, I dare to compare those punctuation marks, annotations and Confucius's holy words, if you can argue, it is insulting." ”

Yes, this is unreasonable, indeed, one is Confucius, the other is a small businessman, there is no comparison at all, Zhang Gu said this, and he stood firm for a while, anyway, it is a sentence, the winner is the king, the loser is Kou, even if Confucius is wrong, it is not something that you can comment on as a small businessman.

Although his words were reasonable, Liu Yuan immediately caught his loophole and immediately retorted:

"What do you mean by this, what is insulting, it is Mr. Su from Qingfeng Academy who explains this book, in addition, there are more than a dozen Confucian masters such as Cui Wantong and Zhao Zimo working together, do you mean that what they write is rubbish, and what they teach is not orthodox?"

One person is weak, Liu Yuan decided to be very unrighteous and pull Mr. Su and other celebrities into the water, hehe, this is close to Qingfeng Academy, there should be a lot of disciples under him here.

"Zhang Gu, you are the scum of Sven."

"Exactly, I begged Su Lao to accept him several times, but his qualifications are too poor, and he is not in the eyes of Su Lao at all, and now he dares to spread rumors and make trouble here, which is really hateful."

"A few days ago, I heard that he knocked on the widow's door at night, and we are ashamed to be with him."

"It's just a field slave, pretending to be high, who doesn't know that you come here every day to queue up to buy books, in fact, it's just to resell it to make a few pennies, read the books of sages, and do things like dogs, you still think of yourself as a scholar, what Brother Liu said is good, you have lived to a dog all these years."

There are many people present who are studying in Qingfeng Academy or worshipping Su Laomen, and they can still watch from the wall just now, but after Liu Yuaner and two thousand catties, they were brought over at once, and it was related to the issue of the reputation of the teaching teacher, and they immediately couldn't sit still.

"You wait, don't think that sophistry can get through, go, let's sue him." Zhang Gu couldn't stand anymore, and while scolding, he walked out in embarrassment.

What Liu Yuan didn't expect was that there were really two or three "defenders" who followed Zhang Gu and threatened to sue Liu Yuan.

"It's interesting, it's sharp-tongued, but what exactly is this new edition of the book, punctuation? The old man really wants to see" The purple-clothed man in the luxurious carriage muttered to himself, and then called softly: "Ah Fu." ”

"Master, Ah Fu is here," the coachman hurriedly replied.

"Go, buy a new edition of the punctuation book, it's a long way from Chang'an, and it's good to relieve boredom on the way."

"Yes, sir." The coachman, Afu Mari, jumped out of the car and walked briskly towards Moyun's study. (To be continued.) )
