"Don't stop Miss Ji, if you like to eat, just eat more! You're welcome! ”

When the old lady saw the dispute between Ji Yu's brother and sister, not only was she not angry, but instead ordered a whole plate of freshly baked glutinous mooncakes to be served to "Little Tail" and asked her to let go of it.

"Thank you, old lady, for the bread!" Ji Yu hurriedly thanked the old lady for her sister.

"Little Tail" glanced at his brother and proudly said "victory"!

Here, Xiang Zhong sat with Lao Dan and Doctor Shang, quietly admiring the Mid-Autumn Festival moon in the middle of the sky and revealing a bright light in the osmanthus tree, while listening to Doctor Shang improvise playing "Asking the Moon" on the guqin, and his old man was also singing the new words he had made:

"The pure is endless;

The god of the gods is nameless;

Those who make profits and lose will make profits again;

There are thousands of changes, all of which can be welcomed;

The rise and fall of the state, the people tremble;

The home is warm and cold, and the moon is icy;

Under the rule of Renjun, Yingfu is hidden;

The sun is eclipsed, and the moon dances. ”

Xiang Zhong has heard for a long time, Lao Dan is most interested in the big issues that men are most concerned about in this era: nothing more than how to govern the country, assist the emperor, the previous diplomatic relations between countries, the rise and fall and war, and mysterious technical work: sacrificial divination, stargazing and astrometry, etc., and when he was studying under Doctor Shang, he asked a few questions, "breaking the casserole to the end", and used the "bar essence" style of scientific research to the extreme, and threw out a bunch of top questions, asking Doctor Shang, especially the ultimate question:

"What is the exhaustion of the purifiers? Where does God's power come from? When will the power of God be prepared? God has the power of change and the work of creation, so why doesn't he create a king who obeys orders? If you can't be self-governing, why can't God govern? ……”

Until Dr. Shang threw him directly into the library and let him teach himself! Teacher Shang can be regarded as getting rid of the "rhetorical questioning" of the "bar essence" apprentice, and successfully avoided the embarrassment of "being unable to teach".

Since Lao Dan was "transferred" into the library, this professional counterpart, studious and thoughtful young man, has grown rapidly: into Taixue, the curriculum includes astronomy, geography, humanities, everything to learn, "poetry", "book", "Yi", "calendar", "rites", "music" everything, cultural relics, canons, history books all learned, three years, a lot of progress.

The doctor recommended him to the storehouse as a clerk.

That's a great place to be! All the classic classics of the Great Zhou Dynasty are collected here, which is a real "treasure house of knowledge", the world's literature, the world's books, everything is collected, sweat is full, and everything is available. Putting Lao Dan here to work is simply putting a rabbit into a field of radish with a good harvest——— no, it should be compared like this: he is just like a dragon entering the sea, and the sea is wide and the dragon leaps; The eagle spreads its wings, and the sky is high and the bird flies.

Although Lao Dan left his mother, he still missed the old man in his heart, but as soon as he started to work there, he would devote himself wholeheartedly to it, and his spirit would be greatly lifted, and according to the current fashionable saying, he could find his own "flow state" every day: hungry and thirsty, broad-minded, gradually perfect, the source of etiquette and music, and the purpose of morality, and gradually formed his own knowledge system, although it was not yet written at this time, it was already regarded as a conceptual state of "in general, but in particular".

Dr. Shang was very happy to see Dan'er grow in this way, and he kept asking Dan questions to gain his own knowledge, which can be described as a "mutual teacher".

This time, when Xiang Zhong arrived, Dr. Shang also heard from You'er that this old gentleman who loves to be a Bole was very happy to see a "thousand miles horse" again, so he was very happy to promote this gathering.

The stars are bright and the moon is bright, the autumn night is slightly cool, I can't help but improvise and sing, Doctor Shang, I haven't been so happy for a long time.

Of course, before this, Lao Dan had also carefully studied the poems of Xiang Zhong that Shang You brought back last time, and was shocked that this little son of the Xiang family could ask about that series of "Tianwen" at the age of only three years old——— of course, if Qu Yuan knew, he would have to be wronged and die——— which was doubtful, and the unknown in his heart coincided, which was enough to make him respect Xiang Chong, and before he saw him, he had respect and 'sympathy'.

Although Xiang Zhongren is small, he looks like a quasi-adult seriously, sitting upright and listening, under the moonlight, between the deep eyes, the firelight and moonlight are reflected, which is extraordinarily bright, and seems to have a calm and atmosphere that knows everything, faintly.

There are clouds tonight, and there is just the artistic conception of "colorful clouds chasing the moon".

In the courtyard of the old mansion, when the moon shadow rises, it just sweeps the eaves and bucket arches that stretch out from the roof of the house wall, and when you look up, the black eaves shadow under the backlight is stacked with the green tiles, just outlining a large and small building shape.

Against this backdrop, the moon is particularly round and bright, and people can't help but admire the difference in the size of the two things in the front and back scenes, as well as the difference between heaven and earth that they represent.

"May I ask Xiang Gongzi, what you wrote, 'At the beginning of ancient times, who preached it?' The top and bottom are not formed, why should they be tested', in this situation, can there be an answer? ”

Lao Dan pointed to the Mid-Autumn Festival bright moon that was half-hidden and half-submerged behind the eaves and arches, and began to ask questions.

Xiang re-looked at the building in front of him: the shape was that the eaves were in the sky, the bucket arched in it, and the ground was a column, only four supports, so he got up and walked to the side of the column, patted the pillar, and patted his legs; Go further, point to the cornices that are high on all sides, and then point to your head, and then turn your head to the left with your head and neck as an order, and then turn to the left to walk; Then turn your head to the right, and then walk to the right, so that you can demonstrate it, return to your position, and give a salute, which is considered the end of the answer.

"The metaphor to my brother is the meaning of the order, the first order is the order, and the foot is done; There is an order, and there is a downside, is it a system? Lao Dan interpreted it on his behalf and wanted Xiang Zhong to confirm whether it was correct.

"It's a little bit like that! As far as the national system is concerned, if the king is the head, it is the top; If the people are sufficient, they are below; There are few columns, and there are few people; There are many eaves arches, and the monarchs and ministers are heavy; With only four numbers of people, the king of Wuwu is supported, the people are difficult, and the king is not there, and he is bent on seeking immortals and ignoring the suffering of the people. ”

Xiang Zhong took pen and ink, and wrote a cursive article under the candlelight, further explaining that the architectural form he saw in his eyes was just like the current political system, only a few people, but silently supported the number of officials and monarchs who did not know how many times more than himself, these four pillars have endured so much, but no one will sympathize with their difficulties, and the ruling class has exhausted countless means, layer by layer, in reverse support, just for the top corner of the cornice, can touch the highest sky, This is the opportunity to shadow with the moon and become a scene, and who can see the full moon and the yearning scene?
