What's so difficult about this, it's so simple, this little thief can't?

As soon as he got that article, Zhou Shishi took a look, this was too simple for him, and he thought that Liu Yuan's little thief would test himself with great difficulty and astringency, but he didn't expect it to be so simple, so simple that he thought he was dazzled, just a few short sentences, can he use such a hard work?

The paper reads: No chicken, duck, no fish, no meat, no vegetables, tofu is indispensable, and shochu is indispensable. Counting it, it's only twenty-one words.

Zhou Shishi glanced at Liu Yuan with a little disdain, and said coldly: "The old man thought that what kind of article he wanted to ask for, but I didn't expect it to be so simple, you really underestimated the old man." ”

"Then there is Lord Lao Shilang, let's give the little one a solution." Liu Yuan said with a smile.

"Listen to it." Zhou Shishi coughed dryly, shook his head and read: "There are no chickens, ducks are also available; No fish, meat is also acceptable; Green vegetables and tofu are not allowed, and less shochu is not good. ”

"Squire-sama, you're wrong."

Zhou Shishi just wanted to reprimand Liu Yuan as an elder, telling him to put his mind on learning, don't make any punctuation marks, and he can't read the text and break the sentence in the most simple sentence, and understand the true meaning of the text, but he didn't expect that before he could speak, Liu Yuan loudly refuted it.

What the? Wrong? I have studied and studied for decades, and I can even master an article like a eulogy, which is difficult to understand, and this short twenty-one words is not good?

As soon as Liu Yuan's words came out, everyone in the hall was shocked, and everyone heard it when Zhou Shishi read it, that is, just a little word, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who is good at reading and breaking sentences, actually read it wrong?

Zhou Shishi was angry all of a sudden: "Bold, if you don't read and break sentences like this, you still have a second way?" ”

"You can do without chickens and ducks, and you can do without fish. Green vegetable tofu is indispensable. Shochu doesn't work. Liu Yuan said with a serious face: "Lord Shilang, you should read it like this." ”

"You"

As soon as Liu Yuan finished reading, Zhou Shishi felt a little struck by lightning, and he understood that he had fallen into Liu Yuan's word game, like this kind of sentence, the same word, as long as the sentence is different, there will be two different meanings, and two meanings. But it's a world of difference.

His own can make sense, his can also make sense, there is no standard answer at all.

Liu Yuan smiled and said, "Lord Shilang, you were not well prepared just now, so it's better to do it." I'll ask for one more advice, and I'll ask the squire to give me some advice. ”

"Hmm. It was true that the old man was not careful just now. You come out again. Zhou Shishi said with a little blush.

Just now I was careless, I just wanted to read and break sentences as quickly as possible, and then laughed at him for not being good at his studies, and I didn't realize it for a while, and I didn't figure out that it had another different meaning, right. Do it again, as long as you do it again, scrutinize it yourself, and don't give this thief a chance. It's the only way to get back the lost face.

Otherwise, I was stumped by a milky kid who didn't dry up and had a white body, and I really didn't want my old face.

One more chance, and you will definitely not be fooled again.

"The title is already in the hands of Lord Squiro."

Zhou Shishi took a closer look, it was the twenty-one words that he had just turned his face in the gutter, thinking that Liu Yuan was satirizing his "old horse stumbling", and couldn't help but be furious: "Do you think I'm too old to remember, didn't you say just now, no chickens and ducks, no fish and meat, and green vegetables and tofu are indispensable." Shochu is not good, although the old man has a white beard, he is not so unremembered. ”

"Squire-sama, you're wrong again." Liu Yuan loudly denied.

"What? Wrong? ”

Liu Guo said very seriously: "It should be: no chicken, duck is also acceptable; No fish, meat is also acceptable; Green vegetables and tofu are not allowed, and less shochu is not good. ”

"You" Zhou Shishi was so angry that he almost fainted, this is what he said just now, Liu Yuan said no, and now he said something wrong according to Liu Yuan's words, he couldn't help but be angry, pointed at Liu Yuan and scolded: "Yi Zier dares to tease the old man, but he can be angry, but he can be angry." ”

Liu Yuan said solemnly: "I have a lot of land in China, profound knowledge, often appear the phenomenon of multiple meanings or multiple interpretations of the word, the most common after the formation of differences, just now Lord Shilang also saw, the same word, but can be broken into two different meanings, which is right and wrong, right and wrong is difficult to determine, there are also many gentry who take advantage of the people do not know how to chew words, out of context, play word games, so as to oppress the people, if, we have a set of tools, separate each sentence, the meaning between the lines is clearly expressed, Then there will be a lot less unjust cases in the world. ”

Seeing that Zhou Shishi wanted to speak again, Liu Yuan added: "Of course, there are also scholars who like to read and break sentences, and slowly explore the true meaning between the lines, then it is also good, then you can also buy the old version, I also invest in printing the old version according to the same quality, and each book only costs 60 yuan, so it is true to say both." ”

What the? Sixty texts in one book?

As soon as Liu Yuan's voice fell, everyone in the court was taken aback, with such a good quality, a book only sells for 100 wen, which is more than half cheaper on the market, and there is also an ancient layout, the price is only 60 wen, and even compared with the books on the market that are often more than 200 wen, one-third of the price has not yet arrived.

This is the great righteousness, and this is the benefit of the world.

"It's magnificent, but in fact the wolf's ambition, let your tongue spit out the lotus, orthodoxy is orthodoxy, a saint is a saint, those who harbor ambitions, have their own Tang Dynasty law, you can't worry about it, the old man insists that the words of the sage can not be changed, the law of the ancestors can not be forgotten, and reading and breaking sentences is also a basic key for readers, so that they can forge their hearts, sharpen their sharpness, no rules, not a square circle, this has been the case for thousands of years, and it should be like this now, these evil ways are crooked, the old man will never accept them, and the Ministry of Rites will not promote them."

Zhou Shishi is like a defender, the most loyal defender, although what Liu Yuan said just now, he also felt that it seemed to be very Taoist when he heard it, and his belief was also shaken, but he quickly became firm and said that he did not agree with anything.

It was as if he was going to shed the last drop of blood for the truth in his heart.

Stubborn, stubborn, Liu Yuan wants to be rude, how come there are still such tenacious people in this world.

Liu Yuan bit his lip, took a few deep breaths, calmed down his emotions first, and looked at Zhou Shishi. Very seriously asked:

"Lord Squire, if I'm not mistaken, your rank is from the third rank, right?"

"Exactly," Zhou Shishi agreed proudly.

"I don't know what happened to the waiter?"

"The emperor's grace is vast, the emperor is sympathetic to the old ministers, although he is an official from the third grade, but he receives the money according to the third grade, and his life is quite passable."

"Oh, I don't know if adults usually travel, do you take a carriage or a sedan chair?"

"Look at the need. Sometimes by car, sometimes by car. ”

Liu Yuan continued to ask: "Lord Shilang is in a high position and has won the trust of the emperor, I don't know how many wives and concubines there are, and how many people are in the house?" ”

"This"

"Ha Lu Ha. Didn't Lord Zhilang just say that everything should be said to others? Why, I'm afraid to say it. Liu Yuan scoffed.

Zhou Shishi was furious all of a sudden. He replied loudly, "What dare you not say." I have a main room, a four-room concubine, two cooks in the family, twelve miscellaneous servants, and eight maidservants, which is not much. It's also so-so level.

When asking questions, Liu Yuan was still smiling, and as soon as he finished asking the question, Liu Yuan's complexion suddenly changed.

"Shameless and selfish." Liu Yuan scolded twice.

"You. What did you say? Zhou Shishi jumped up angrily, pointed at Liu Yuan and scolded: "What kind of thing are you, you are the most contemptuous of the court officials in person, you are really impatient." ”

This Liu Yuan, again and again, repeatedly provoked his authority, which made Zhou Shishi extremely unhappy, he knew that if he didn't convince Liu Yuan, his old face would definitely be laughed at so much that he couldn't straighten his waist, no, he had to teach him a good lesson if he said anything.

Liu Yuan glanced at him with confidence, then took a deep breath, and suddenly began to flutter:

"You are a member of the third grade, in a high position, generous, in and out of the official sedan chair, brocade clothes and jade food, accompanied by beautiful concubines, and servant maids and miscellaneous servants, can you think of the world's scholars in your heart? Although the scholars are in the first place, the scholars are not engaged in agriculture, are not good at business, have no source of income, and receive more family support or relatives and friends, so the vast majority of the scholars live in poverty and poverty, and they can solve his difficulties with the Hanshi. ”

As he spoke, Liu Yuan's voice suddenly rose:

"When you sat on the official bridge to enter and exit, did you know that many scholars walked on their legs in the scorching sun and cold wind?"

"When you enjoy the fine clothes and fine food, you can know that many scholars are worried about their livelihood, or sit alone on the streets, making a living by reading and writing letters for others, selling words and paintings, even if it is windy and rainy, they dare not relax, because they do not work for a day and do not eat for a day."

"When you hugged your concubine into Gentle Township, did you know how many Han Shi couldn't afford to pay a high amount of money because they were shy in their pockets, and because they couldn't afford to rent a carriage, they visited Wenyou and secretly felt sad."

"The same thing, for what to spend a lot of time, obviously a punctuation mark can distinguish the meaning of the text, why set up obstacles, the same thing, of course, the sooner you do it, the better, so that you can save time to do more things, the same chapter, if it is divided correctly, it doesn't matter if it takes a little more time, if it is a Han Shi who can't afford to pay the bundle and can't worship the teacher, he broke the wrong text, comprehended the wrong meaning, and didn't find out that it was wrong until the imperial examination, how much time was wasted?"

"How many youths are there in a person's life? And these are for your so-called rules, a so-called interest. ”

"You use the official sedan carriage to travel, in order to save time, and the use of punctuation marks is to make it easier for scholars to understand when reading, do not need to read every article, every sentence has to read and break words, and you have to worry about reading the wrong text, breaking the wrong sentence, and using punctuation, the text is clearer, the sentence is smoother, and the time saved is more than half of the time, and the time saved can be learned more knowledge, or more time can be used to make a living, improve life, reduce the burden on the family, or contribute to the development of Datang, what's not good?"

"When you enjoy the joy of reading and breaking sentences with red sleeves, do you know that most Han Shi tighten their trouser belts and go hungry to read and break words? It's fun for you, it's torture for others, you read the books of the sages and sages, you don't want to make progress, you don't make changes, you can make learning simple and easy to understand, but you have your own selfishness, hindering the progress of the world's scholars, in fact, you harbor evil intentions."

"Say one thing, do another, your heart is different, if you really have so many rules, then just like the sage said, pure heart and few desires, donate the concubine, send the concubine away, dissolve the maidservant, and be as coarse as an ordinary scholar, this is the celebrity, this is the festival, can you do it?"

"Look, look at what, it's you, I speak so straight, you read the books of the sages, do things that are unscrupulous, selfish and selfish, I see you for so many years, you have lived to the dog, if it were me, I would have no face to see people, but it doesn't matter to you, your skin is thicker than the city wall, and you don't see blood after two cuts."

"And'

"Ahh

Liu Yuan didn't finish speaking, but he saw Zhou Shishi's face getting redder and redder, his eyes opening wider and wider, and he spit out a big mouthful of fresh food with an "ah" sound, and with a "snap" sound, he was stunned to the ground.

"Ah, it's not good, Old Squire Zhou fainted."

"Imperial Doctor, quick, call the Imperial Doctor' (To be continued.) )
