Jinshan Mansion, Liyang County, Jiuquan Town, legend has it that there is a prodigy.

The prodigy can speak in March, can walk in June, and at the age of one he will talk to people like a stream.

When the prodigy was three years old, he had never heard of a book, and suddenly one day, he asked his family for it.

When the family found the books and brought them, the prodigy smiled, and said with a smile: "No accumulation of steps, no thousands of miles, no accumulation of small streams, no rivers and seas, today, my dream begins!" ”

When the family heard this, they were shocked, and they looked at each other and said: "The poor family wants to have a noble son? ”

The prodigy was six years old, the four books were memorized backwards, the Pentateuch questions and answers were fearless, and the name of the prodigy appeared.

When the surrounding prefectures and counties heard about it, the audience was like a stream, asking and answering, and sure enough, they read through the four books and five classics.

Wang Xu of Liyang, the famous Jinshan Mansion, everyone said: "The ancient sages are better than this." ”

This year, the prodigy was eight years old, and it was time for enlightenment.

"Zhuang Violent saw Mencius and said, Violent to the king, the king said that the violence was happy, and the violence was not right, what is the happiness? Mencius said that the king's good happiness is very good, then the Qi country is almost happy, and it is better to be happy alone than to be happy, not as good as with everyone. ”

Abandoned by the body in the Confucian realm, Wang Xu, an eight-year-old doppelganger at the time, was reading Mencius in his room.

Mencius whispered the righteousness, his doctrine covered the surface with points, and every time he read it, he had different thoughts, and the meaning of life was all here.

"Confucius said Chengren, Meng said to take righteousness, compared to Confucius, Meng Sheng's doctrine is more my favorite, only Mencius in the four books, I can be regarded as a glimpse of the court." Wang Xu held the book of Mencius, although Confucius, Meng, Zhu, Zhu Xi and Wang Yangming of the king, also known as Yasheng, were still worse than Mencius.

Mencius's sacrifice of life and righteousness represents the Confucian style, and no matter how dirty the scholar is behind his back, he must maintain this style on the surface.

Wang Xu studied Mencius hard, not only to learn Mencius's philosophy, but also to think about the Confucian rules of the game behind the concept.

"Xu'er..."Just as he was thinking, the door was pushed open from the outside, and a woman in her thirties walked in.

Seeing this woman, Wang Xu stood up from behind the desk and said respectfully, "I've seen my mother." ”

The woman in front of her is Wang Xu's biological mother, Mrs. Wang, in this life, and Wang Xu does not dare to forget the grace of childbirth.

"Xu'er, you are also eight years old this year, and when it comes to Mengxue, the old master Liu in the town is looking forward to you going to the school." Mrs. Wang pulled Wang Xu to sit down and looked at Wang Xu with a happy face.

She has no heirs herself, and she is in her forties to have such a child as Wang Xu, of course, she is afraid of falling when she holds it in her hand, and she is afraid of melting when she holds it in her mouth, not to mention how pampered she is.

Fortunately, Wang Xu has ontological memories and thinking, otherwise if he is a real eight-year-old child, he will have to grow up to be a gentleman when he meets such a pampered mother.

There is no way not to be reluctant, Wang Xu's requests have not been rejected over the years, with such a doting mother, plus eating and drinking without worry, the hero has to fall in the gentle township.

"Mother, the school in the town..."Wang Xu thought about the private school in the town, as well as the old master who was drunk all day, shook his head and sighed: "It's better not to go!" ”

It is true that learning is not just about reading books, but also needs to be taught by famous teachers.

But with Wang Xu's level, let alone an old showman, even idle people can't teach him.

It's better not to go to school in the private school in the town, it's not that Wang Xu looks down on the old master, but that the old master is really not good.

Over the years, Jiuquan Town has not even been able to show talent for more than ten years.

A big reason is that this old master Liu is not solid in learning, and the so-called talent and fame are also the county lords who have watched him take the exam for decades, and they can't look at the charity given to him.

In terms of knowledge alone, Old Master Liu is also at the level of Lao Tongsheng, and he also likes to mix personal work when teaching, and mix the handouts that he thinks are right, isn't this a mistake into the children.

"Xu'er, what are you going to do?" Mrs. Wang knew that Wang Xu had been assertive since he was a child, and he couldn't be treated as an ordinary child, Wang Xu said that the private school in the town was not good, so it would definitely not work.

"The child has also considered that although we do not have Jinshi in Liyang County, there is a great Confucian who has returned to seclusion. The great Confucian Xue Mushan, Xue senior, is currently in Sanjian Creek, and only he can be my enlightenment teacher. ”

As soon as Wang Xu said this, Mrs. Wang became a little more bitter.

Xue Mushan is a contemporary Confucian, because of the endless struggle of the imperial court, he quickly retired and became a hermit.

Not to mention Liyang County, the entire Jinshan Mansion, who doesn't know that Xue Mushan is in seclusion in Sanjian River, and which student can worship the door.

"Xu'er, or, why don't you let your father invite Mr. Zhang from the county?" Mrs. Wang opened her mouth in a tangled manner, Mr. Zhang in the county is a famous old man, and he has praised Wang Xu with others on weekdays.

With the conditions of the Wang family, if the family wealth is scattered, there is a little chance that Wang Xu will follow Zhang Juren to enlightenment.

As for Xue Mushan, the Wang family's family background, people don't look down on it at all, everyone is not a parent, even if Wang Xu has been a prodigy since he was a child, he will not be able to move the contemporary Confucianism as a teacher.

"Zhang Juren..."

Wang Xu still shook his head, then noticed the melancholy on Mrs. Wang's face, and hurriedly spoke: "Mother, don't panic, the child is planning, and there are already some eyebrows, let Xue Daru take me as an apprentice." ”

"Really?" Mrs. Wang didn't believe it.

"Of course it's true, can a child still deceive his mother?"

Wang Xu smiled brightly, if under normal circumstances, he wanted to worship Xue Mushan as a teacher, it was not enough to have the name of a prodigy, at least he had to have a talent and fame, so that he would be looked at by the other party.

However, Xue Mushan is different from others, he was born in a wealthy family in the north and has three hobbies, horses, calligraphy, and falconry.

When he was a teenager, Xue Mushan read thousands of books, traveled thousands of miles, and rode the world alone to travel the land of Kyushu.

Now that he is old, his hobby of horseback riding has been abandoned by Xue Mushan, and only calligraphy and falconry remain.

Wang Xu is conceited, and the Yan character of Yan Zhenqing, a master in the Tang Dynasty, is enough to be impressed by Xue Mushan, as long as his calligraphy enters Xue Mushan's sight, it should not be difficult to accept apprentices.

The difficult thing is that the Sanjian Creek where Xue Mushan lives in seclusion, outsiders can't enter it at all, and he doesn't come out, only birds and beasts can pass.

Wang Xu must find a high-grade falcon as a qualification for promotion, so that it is possible to lure Xue Mushan out.

Falcon, he has already asked people to inquire, Liyang County is mountainous, and there are many falcons, and he will act if he has eyebrows.

It's just that this matter can't be rushed, it's three or five months faster, and it's a year and a half slow, and it's not that it can be solved by solving it.

"Alas, it's all because my father and mother are incompetent, if my Wang family is also a big family, how can I not invite a proper teacher for you." Hearing Wang Xu's words, Mrs. Wang fell into self-blame.

The father and mother of this life have twelve hearts for Wang Xu.

Wang Xu has been an orphan since he was a child, where has he ever been cared for so much, his heart was warm for no reason, and he couldn't help but say: "Mother, don't worry, a little setback, in fact, I expected it a long time ago, it's nothing." ”

"Poof..."

Mrs. Wang suddenly burst into tears and laughed, and Wang Xu, who was laughing, was a little overwhelmed.

Did he say the wrong thing, no, when he chose the Hanmen to conceive a clone, the ontology thought that he might encounter difficulties in the early stage.

The family and the family are two levels, the people of the family do not have to worry about the source of the teacher at all, the ancestors have their own familiar Confucianism, so that the younger disciples worship the disciples.

He chose to give birth to a clone from a cold door, and he knew that the road in the early stage was more difficult, but all roads led to Rome, and after the early stage, there were still different roads in the future.

"You're only a few years old, and you expected it a long time ago, so it's possible that you thought about it in your mother's womb and said some nonsense." Mrs. Wang burst into tears and laughed, and reached out and tapped Wang Xu's head, which was really like coaxing a child.

Wang Xu's face was bitter, his memory and thinking were inherited from the ontology, and sometimes he couldn't help but regard himself as an adult, forgetting that this doppelganger was only eight years old.

Fortunately, he has always behaved old, and Mrs. Wang didn't think much about it.

It seems that you have to pay more attention to what you say in the future, otherwise some words fall into the ears of others, and you may not be suspicious.

"Mother, the child went out first..."In Mrs. Wang's laughter, Wang Xu fled in the wilderness, as a son of man, someone cared... Very good.
