Chapter 104: A Book Shines on the Sun and the Moon (Part II)

When I arrived in the living room, I saw Fang Xin greet him and said, "Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Yan, please go upstairs." ”

Yan Min arched his hand first, and wanted to kneel down, saying, "Meet the lord." ”

The law of the imperial court, those who have no merit, they have to bow down when they see the six-grade officials, and even more so when they see the nobles, the offenders are guilty of disrespect, but the rod is fifty, and unconsciously, the identity of the two has been very different, and it is really impermanent.

Fang Xin hurriedly stretched out his hand to help each other: "Don't dare, why should Mr. Yan be polite, there are no outsiders here." ”

Some outsiders naturally want to really kneel, Yan Min listened, he didn't know what to think, so he had to smile, went upstairs, and sat down with the guest and host.

At this time, Fang Xin was wearing a moon-white gauze robe, not wearing a golden crown, but on that young face, among the pupils, he was looking forward to the brilliance, dark and unfathomable, his actions were chic and elegant, and he didn't know his thoughts, although he smiled, he didn't see the reality at all, and after listening, he said with a smile: "Lu Hou's meaning, I also understand, the lower officials are really frightened, but the elders have gifts, and they must obey, and the students can only kneel and thank - just reply like this!" ”

"Okay, I'll go back and tell Master Hou like this!" In the early days, I could still see the depths, but now it is really warm and moist like jade, but it is silent, it is difficult to understand, and I can't see it on the outside, and then I use my spiritual eye, but I only see a piece of white light enveloping Fang Xin, the inside is bright and majestic, and there is a faint purple qi rising, and the heart is awe-inspiring. I saw him once before the New Year, but I didn't have this image yet, and I still thought that this son had an unstable foundation, although he was rich and rich, but he could not last long. Now it seems that the roots are deep and bottomless.

But this matter, no matter how enviable, everyone knows that if you can write a book and pass it on, you can win the blessing of heaven, earth and man, but how many people in the world can have such insight into the Taoist system and get the true meaning? It's not something that can be obtained by shortcuts.

"Don't panic, why should Mr. Yan be anxious, it's dark now. Can't you rush back overnight? At that time, the gates of the city were also closed, so it was enough to come and stay in the house for the night. Fang Xin said retainerily.

Yan Min was trying to see the reality in the house, and after a little resignation, he also accepted it. Fang Xin showed a happy look, and immediately ordered someone to clean up the banquet, and said with a smile: "There is still some time before the banquet, why don't we drink tea in front of the pavilion, how about it, and." Two more, also meet together? ”

"Brewing tea and discussing poetry, a big fast, dare to disobey your fate?" Yan Min happily responded.

At that moment, the two of them passed through the room. Head to the back garden. I arrived at a lake, this artificial lake, five acres square, planted all kinds of trees around the pond, and a corridor on it, with a pavilion in the middle. The pavilions are made of logs.

Then. The sunset is still there, bamboo forests, lying stones, rockeries and the like. The shower is in the sun, in the sense of nature. In the pavilion, there were already two people, and there was a small number of them, and a boy was cooking tea on a small red clay stove.

Passing through the corridor, I saw that the corridors were full of climbing vines on both sides, and there were small flowers dotted in it, which was really an undercurrent of fragrance.

When they arrived at the pavilion, they saw the two of them get up and bow their hands, and Fang Xin said with a smile: "Mr. Yan, let me introduce you, this is Zou Lixing, the teacher of Sanchun County under the rule of Jiang Mansion." ”

"This is Bai Liu, the chair in the family's mansion, well, two, this is Mr. Yan from the Luhou Mansion!"

Yan Min knows both of these people.

First of all, Zou Lixing, who failed in the Jinshi exam last time, went to make up for the teachings of Sanchun County.

Sanchun County is the ninth grade, the great Chu school, there are school officials at the county level, the teaching manages the learning of the county middle school students, and it is also the host of the children's examination, which is subordinate to the Ministry of Rites.

Zou Lixing is a person, a government, less than six or seven counties, more than a dozen counties, so it is not difficult to make up for the teachings of the nine counties, this person teaches students meticulously, sincere and serious, in recent years, the secret evaluation is good, but it is a pity that the school officials are not easy to be promoted, if you want to be promoted to the first product to the house as the seventh grade of the school Zheng, there are no twenty years, no need to think about it, this is a thing that no one can do.

As for Bai Liu, Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-four years old this year, Li Rui has no neighbors before he made a fortune, he has a good relationship with Li Rui, half a teacher and half a friend, but he has never won Xiucai, Li Rui therefore remembers his kindness, and has been taking care of him since Zhongju, and now he is courteous in the name of Li Rui's eldest son Li Ningwen's enlightenment master, but this year's Xiucai County Examination is very promising, not only is it enough for him to take the Xiucai examination, but also the reason why he has received the favor of the Li Mansion

Yan Min is the host of Jiangfu, and naturally knows that Li Rui, until now, is loyal to Junzhong, filial piety to his mother, to his teacher, to his colleagues and friends, to his subordinates, and to his friends.

At this moment, everyone saw the ceremony, and the four of them sat down, at this time, there was already a boy who finished making tea, served the tea, Yan Min took it and tasted it carefully, only to feel that although there was a fragrance in the entrance, but the fire etiquette, in the end it was not as good as Lu Mansion - it was also said that if you want to be really noble, you can see luxury and learning everywhere, and you must have more than three generations.

At that moment, everyone, facing the breeze of the pond, on the water vapor, was very refreshing for a while, the faint fragrance of tea wafted in the space, and then talked about the poems, even Yan Min was in a trance for a while, and he was depressed, but he woke up immediately, and heard Zou Lixing say: "On that day, Brother Li Zhongjinshi, I was still a little unconvinced, and now I have read this book of benevolence and etiquette, but it is difficult to be jealous anymore. ”

"Yes, I feel emotionally unashamed when I read it, the adults asked me to teach his son, but I often break out in a cold sweat in private, for fear of misleading people's children, then it is really a sin." Bai Liu, dressed in Confucian clothes, said, his life has improved in the past few years, but the pattern is not as big as when he studied hard, which is also a gain and a loss.

Zou Lixing said again: "Listen to Mr. Yan, then you don't have to buy the printing shop anymore?" ”

"There are still some printhouses to buy, but since Master Hou is willing to print 10,000, I will print 1,000." Fang Xin said with a faint smile, in fact, this theory of benevolence and etiquette cannot be said to be an avenue, but it has exhausted the words "benevolence" and "etiquette", and carried out dialectic. It is pointed out that these two, one yin and one yang, cannot be separated, and if they are separated, it is not the orthodox theory of Confucian sages.

Moreover, Fang Xin emphasized that people should first establish a humane foundation, and ignore the heavens, earth, ghosts and gods. This is not narrow, but it is a pure Taoist system and a solid foundation, after all, heaven, earth and people, any one has an unpredictable way, and I want to tolerate them all at once. It's just broad but not refined, but it misses the avenue and breaks the foundation, so in the theory of benevolence and propriety, regardless of heaven, earth and people, there is only one "good direction." There are no regrets in life".

"The qi of heaven and earth, scattered impermanently, circulates hundreds of domains, but holds humanity in the middle, between pitching, heaven and earth are vast. Personnel have become obsolete in the blink of an eye. can't help but be in awe, but although death and life are great, although there are ups and downs in the deeds, hold the way, and finally die without regret, it is not enough to make the gentleman fearful! This sentence is really "no regrets". It has the highest meaning of humanity.

Meaning: The world is so big, and there are so many things. The grandeur of the society, one person is like a small dust, so we will definitely encounter difficulties in promoting the good path and the right path, and how to deal with this problem?

Answer, that is, no matter what you encounter, no matter whether you have succeeded in your deeds or not, you will die without regrets, this is the greatest driving force for humanity to make positive progress, and it is also the so-called essence of the earth's righteousness, which is great and strong, and fills the universe, which is equivalent to opening up the path of Confucianism's true cultivation.

It is because of this point that it can be called the pinnacle of the original meaning of Confucianism, and it is the supreme way of Confucianism in terms of purity, but it has not yet carried forward the past and opened up the future, if it is only limited to this, it is only the continuation of the Confucian true Taoism.

Therefore, on the day the book was written, only 1,000 merits were obtained at once, and suddenly Yu Ruyi reached the number of 1,500 merits, and the eighth star was opened, which was already more than enough, and with the expansion of influence, the merits could also be continuously increased, and when converted, it was as high as ten merits a day on the main plane, exceeding all the current merits!

Moreover, Fang Xin has checked it, the book is a success, and the number of Yin virtues in his own family is so huge that even Fang Xin himself is staggered, if there is no big loss, the Li family in this world, at least within seven generations, does not have to worry about the problem of qi number.

However, if you want to open the way, you must first complete the Confucian Taoism, the next article, Fang Xin has already thought about it, that is, "those who enter, those who come out, those who are benevolent, those who are reformed are courteous, those who teach are also polite, and those who are rude and sinful, and those who are rude and not taught, and those who are rude and abused"!

This is the attitude towards foreign races and common people, especially towards foreign peoples, on the earth, the original Confucianism, is to teach but not to change, especially the Tang Dynasty Li Shimin's policy, which led to the spread of technology and learning to foreign races, and was not incorporated into the unified order, but instead armed the foreign races, resulting in their rapid prosperity, and determined the foundation of the Hu people to enter the original land in the future.

Therefore, those who enter and those who go out are naturally right, and they also have the greatest ability to cover all races and countries, but "teaching" is a must, and it is even more necessary to "transform", and if you teach without teaching, it will become a great sin, and if you don't teach, it's too tyrannical, which solves the problem of Confucian culture's external expansion, and also theoretically solves the problem of feudal state for foreign races - this is not only inherited, but on the basis of the original source, it carries forward the past and forges ahead into the future, and solves the problem of Confucian vitality - This is even more merit!

However, there is a process in everything, the first article is enough to make a name for yourself and establish a position in the world of Shilin, which is like fine wine, the more you precipitate, the more mellow it is, so this second article, you don't have to worry, I heard Zou Lixing ask: "Brother Li, you not only have good articles, deep scriptures, and good poems, but what poems do you write?" ”

Yan Min also remembered the two articles of the day, his spirit was shocked, and he said: "That's true, I really have to remember a new poem and new words to go back, and adults don't need to congratulate them, just take this to return the gift, I believe that Hou Ye will be very high."

Fang Xin also said to himself, at this time, when he spoke, he saw that the dusk had fallen, the moonlight had come out, and before a bamboo forest, he faintly saw a woman flashing in the forest, wearing a green skirt, knowing that it was Abel, and he smiled at the moment: "It is a word, and it was made by a woman on the way, and it was a romantic night, not quite the right scene, but it can also be said." ”

At the moment, he chanted: "The smoke of the spring mountain is about to be harvested, and the sky is light and the stars are small." The waning moon is bright, don't cry before dawn. There are many words, but the love is not over. Looking back, I still have a heavy way. Remember the green skirt, pity the grass everywhere. ”

This is a farewell story. The last film is different from the scene, and the next film is different from the situation. It is a dawn scene. The two sentences of "waning moon" are especially true when written about Xiaojing. The waning moon reflects the face, don't tear crystal, and the sorrow of the people at that time has been written. Change your head, remember your words when you say goodbye, and be sympathetic and gentle. At the end, the unforgettable feelings after parting are revealed, with the green of the grass in the void, and the green of the Luo skirt of the association, the assumption seems suspicious, and the love is extremely sincere.

When the three of them heard this, they immediately shouted and sighed: "If you are a young man!" ”
