Chapter V: No Punishment
Master Xun looked at Zhou Xun who came in with satisfaction and nodded. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Xun or himself was wearing a cyan Confucian shirt, neat and clean, his hair was tied with a Confucian crown, and the whole person looked very energetic.
"Get up, what are you doing with so many courtesies?"
This disciple, he himself is very satisfied, a little through, a thorough, a little bit of the scriptures can draw inferences, is an excellent reading seed, the future Xie Yuan is hopeful.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, have you ever studied? How much did you read University? ”
Xun or he is concerned about how well Zhou Xun's books are read and how his progress is, and he has to check them from time to time.
Sure enough, this meeting is about to be pumped.
Zhou Xun had already prepared and memorized the university backwards.
"If you go back to the teacher, the disciple has already finished college."
"Good, good! Sure enough, I was a good student. ”
Xun Or didn't have the slightest doubt, but smiled heartily.
The happiest thing in this life is to meet such a disciple, and it couldn't be more intimate.
What he can't do, his disciples will definitely be able to do! It is also a beautiful thing to go to see the wind and moon in the capital for him, a teacher.
"Since you're in college, can you memorize it?"
"Yes!"
Xun may be more satisfied, he can recite "University" at the age of nine, this progress is not slow, several years earlier than he was back then.
"In that case, then I'll test you!"
"Therefore, a gentleman must be cautious of his solitude. What is the previous sentence? From which one? ”
"Those who are sincere do not deceive themselves. like a foul stench, like a lustful one; This is called self-humility. Therefore, a gentleman must be cautious of his independence. From the seventh chapter, the chapter of sincerity. ”
Do you know what this sentence means? Reading a book is not without seeking to understand. ”
The disciple knows that the meaning of this sentence is that the so-called honesty of one's mind means not to deceive oneself. For example, I hate the smell of filth, such as liking beautiful women, only in this way can I be honest with my heart. Therefore, a gentleman must be cautious about when he is alone. ”
Next to him, Zhou Gui was holding a small tea Gu, slowly blowing the hot air, taking a sip from time to time, and the faint fragrance made people feel refreshed.
He saw Xun or Kao's son here, smiling, not caring at all.
"Xun or this really regards Xun'er as a successor, running back and forth four times a month, it's not easy to go all the way, and I have to write a bundle when I turn back, which is more or less a little bit of heart."
Originally, he asked Xun'er to worship Xun'er under Xunhe, and what he liked was his own knowledge in the scriptures, followed by some of his connections, and it was also out of the aspect of connections to invite so many miscellaneous teachers to Xun'er. I have a love of teaching, and I will be easy to deal with in the future.
Making connections and touting each other was the norm for literati at this time.
Just because there is no one to advertise, who knows who you are? Naturally, we should support each other and promote more, if there are a few good articles, it will be even better, maybe you can get the blue eyes of the academic and political officials, and add extra points.
Of course, the name of this article also depends on what aspect and to what extent, the reputation of ordinary scholars is just right, and it is enough to write a few passable poems and one or two articles with bright spots.
But if you really move a state, and you don't have enough equipment, that is, you are too late, and you will inevitably be affected, and your career will not be smooth.
Maybe there are still red-eyed people, everyone originally touted each other, hello and I'm good, you just overshadow everyone every time, and the poems and texts are all used as a foil for you······
How do you let us play? This is actually inadvertently, breaking the rules, and naturally everyone boycotts you and excludes you.
Coupled with the classmates, the same year, teachers, families, etc., etc., there is no need for anything, as long as they are vaguely suppressed, it is enough for ordinary poor talents to waste a lifetime.
Zhou Gui actually belongs to this kind of talented man, he became famous at a young age, but he is not a child of a family, so he naturally can't stand this overt and secret suppression, so he has to give up his career.
"I was still young and vigorous back then, if I didn't go to the Dragon Palace banquet, I wouldn't have caused those rights and wrongs."
Thinking of something else, he looked at his son, who was standing in the hall.
"It's almost the same time, just in the next three or two years. If that thing can be done, my Zhou family will have a hundred and twenty years of great luck, and three generations of feudal officials can be born and become a county family. ”
His gaze was no longer here, but in the direction of the ancestral hall.
"Ryugu ······"
"Once the will of heaven, the stars will disperse."
Thinking of the night banquet in the Dragon Palace, Zhou Xun suddenly became distracted unconsciously.
"Good!"
Xun Or cheered, waking up the person in the dream, Zhou Xun came back to his senses and saw the field.
Zhou Xun is reciting "The Mean" fluently, but he is really reciting it backwards.
Zhou Gui smiled, this kid still likes to show off.
After a while, the endorsement was finished, and Xun or had been here for a while, so he got up and wanted to leave.
"It seems that your Xun'er has not fallen behind in learning, I thought that he was distracted from his studies and practiced martial arts, which would delay his studies, but I didn't want to be a little wasted. I'm relieved! ”
"In the future, I won't come, let's go over Xun'er. After he was admitted to the academy, he lived in my house, which was close anyway. ”
This is a sign of extreme closeness, and only disciples who have really been taught with all their strength can be treated if they can live in the teacher's house all the time.
Of course, Zhou Gui promised to send Xun Or to the door, and Zhou Xun consciously ran forward to help the teacher get into the ox cart.
Ox carts are the norm at this time, and horses are not something that everyone can afford to raise, and they are not as practical as cattle.
"You don't have to send it, it's not the first time I've come, I can still get lost!"
Xun Or ordered his subordinates to drive the ox cart, and gradually walked away, Zhou Xun and Zhou Gui, father and son, waited in front of the door until they saw the old master disappear from sight.
"Daddy?"
"Huh? What do you want to ask? ”
"I want to ask the ······ of the well in the ancestral hall in the backyard."
Zhou Gui's heart tightened when he heard this, and he categorically interrupted him.
"Let's go back and talk about it!"
Then I paid attention to the front and back, and no one noticed it at this time.
Zhou Xun didn't know why, but he thought of the weirdness of the well in the backyard, realized that it seemed a little unusual, and obediently followed the door.
As soon as he entered the inner room, Zhou Gui asked with a straight face.
"How much do you know?"
Zhou Xun then told all the things about going to the backyard today, but he missed the last fire fold.
Zhou Gui listened to the uncertainty and walked back and forth in the back room a few times with his hands behind his back.
Only then did he speak slowly.
"I won't punish you, I won't punish you this time!"
"But don't go to that well again."
Zhou Xun inexplicably thought of the fire fold that fell there.
"Now is not the time to tell you about things there, the time has come, if you don't ask me, I will tell you."
"But at least you have to wait until you pass the exam!"
Zhou Xun cried with a small face and said.
"Dad, it will take at least six years, even if I don't delay halfway, I will take the exam all the way, show my talents, enter the academy, and then take the exam, it will take six years!"
Zhou Gui didn't give him any leeway this time.
"Then hurry up and go to study, and raise people in the exam as soon as possible, so that I can feel at ease!"
Zhou Xun was worried about the fire fold, and he didn't dare to say more, for fear of being seen in detail, so he hurriedly excused himself to retreat.
