Shen Ao listened carefully, and there was really a noise, and it came from the next room, the voice was slightly hoarse, but it was full of complaints, and it was not clear what to say.

After a while, Tang Yan came over with a pot of warm wine, with an embarrassed look on his face, asked everyone to sit down, and said: "The inner people are warming up some snacks and dishes, you don't have to be restrained, this is not the Guozijian, drink wine to warm up your body, and talk to the old man by the way." ”

Shen Ao and Zhou Heng sat down, but Deng Long didn't make up for this fun, and hugged his hands and said, "I'll go out to enjoy the snow." ”

Deng Long said and turned around and went out; This kind of occasion is really not suitable for this guy, and Shen Ao will not stop him.

They each poured wine, Tang Yan at this moment was more pleasant than he was in the country, with a smile on his face, and said first: "The old man has nothing else here, but the wine is full, haha......" He stroked his beard and smiled: "Even if you open a wine shop, it is enough, even if you drink it, you don't need to be polite." ”

Shen Ao smiled, drank a glass of wine, and a hot current gushed out of his stomach, and he heard Tang Yan say: "Have you ever studied in a pretend?" ”

When this sentence was asked, Shen Ao's face was as usual, and he said, "Look at some occasionally." And Zhou Heng was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't even drink the wine.

Tang Yan was full of interest: "Okay, the old man will test you." "This word of yours is naturally said to Shen Ao, if the teacher says that he is not partial, it is impossible, when he encounters a rotten wood like Zhou Heng, do you want them to supervise? Reading, after all, is not made with sticks; On the contrary, those students who are willing to study and have talent are naturally valued by others, which is human common sense.

Shen Ao said with a straight face: "Lord Tang, please advise." ”

This small hall leaned against the inner room, and there was only a curtain in the middle, and the curtain trembled slightly, and the sound of breathing faintly came out.

Shen Ao's observation was the most delicate, and he couldn't help but think: "Behind this curtain, could it be that someone is eavesdropping?" Then he thought about it, that is, he was sunburned, who was behind this curtain, and what did he have to do with himself?

Tang Yan pondered for a moment and said, "People with lofty ideals, how to solve this problem?" ”

Shen Ao smiled slightly, this sentence is from the Analects. Wei Linggong": "Men with lofty ideals are benevolent, there is no survival to harm benevolence, there is killing to become benevolent." It means that a person with lofty ideals and benevolence does not compromise benevolence in order to beg for the sake of his life, but only sacrifices his own life to achieve benevolence.

This question is very simple, it is used by Tang Yan to test the topic, in fact, it is necessary to test people's talents, only after reading through the four books and five classics, can we know the source and interpretation of the topic; Secondly, Jingyi is more a test of people's agility, you must know that every exam, time is limited, so it is crucial to quickly solve the problem, once you fall into hesitation, and when you think of the way to solve the problem, the time has come, even if you are a rich learner, how exquisite the problem is solved, and in the end you can only hate out.

Shen Ao thought about it for a while, then smiled slightly: "A saint has a master in his heart, and he is determined to have all the power of his heart and virtue. Lord Tang, is it okay to use this sentence to solve the problem? ”

Tang Yan stroked his beard and smiled, and said continuously: "Okay, this problem solving is ingenious, it is rare that you can solve the problem so quickly." He no longer asked the question, but if he could solve the question, then the article would be half completed, so he smiled and said: "The old man will take the school again, the gentleman is not worthy of the world, how to solve the problem?" ”

Shen Ao thought about it for a while, and then thought of the source, this sentence is also from the "Analects. Wei Linggong", which means "the resentment of a gentleman is to die and his reputation is not praised." ”

This sentence appears in the Analects, but it is quite puzzling, doesn't that mean that people are not famous, and they will regret it for life? The so-called life in the world, the word fame and fortune. A "name" word, how many young people's heads have been white, and how many heroic tears have been shed! But this kind of thing can only be understood and cannot be spoken, and once it is said, it is embarrassing.

The old man is about to die, and he is afraid that his name will not stand. This is the panic of Qu Yuan, the doctor of Sanlu.

Ten years of cold windows no one asked, in one fell swoop became famous all over the world. In fact, this sentence just said through the hearts of later generations of Confucianism, but although this sentence hit the hearts of the people, but there are not many people who are willing to read it out. Seeking fame and fortune?

Therefore, this topic is the most difficult to break, and it is difficult to make up a sentence that is difficult to speak, and it is also necessary to be full of flowers, and to defend this sentence, the difficulty can be imagined.

Shen Ao was slightly stunned, and said in a deep voice: "Ling Wen Guangyu is applied to his body, so he doesn't want people to embroider it." Lord Tang, how about solving the problem like this? ”

Tang Yan was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but applaud: "What a good thing to say is that Wen Guangyu is shining, just this sentence, if it is in the examination room, it will definitely stand out from the crowd." ”

The most difficult thing to break about this question is that it is difficult to speak, and you can't always make a fuss about the word fame and fortune to solve the problem, you must know that Confucianism in any era, no matter how clear or dirty the heart is, is the most jealous of the word fame and fortune. Therefore, if many people start this question, the only way is to distort its meaning, but once the meaning is misinterpreted, it will be suspected that the words do not reach the meaning.

However, Shen Ao's answer was extremely ingenious, and he did not distort the meaning of the question, but instead admitted the idea that this gentleman has a new name, but after a change of words, he said that Confucianism is not without a name, and it is not that he does not like to "make the reputation of the body", but just oppose the reputation of the people, sell the reputation, and deceive the world to steal the name.

This sentence not only defends the distortion of Confucianism, but also alludes to Mencius's proposal that 'a gentleman is ill and unworthy of his name'. It's no wonder that Tang Yan was able to applaud.

In fact, Shen Ao's thinking can be so fast, but he has a little more knowledge than others, and it is rotten Confucianism who works behind closed doors, even if he reads more books, it is easier to drill into the horns. But Shen Ao was a human being, and in the era of the big explosion of knowledge in later generations, what kind of views have not been heard, and after only a little thought, it is not very difficult to solve a puzzle.

Smiling slightly, Shen Ao hurriedly said, "My lord is too famous." ”

Tang Yan was about to speak, the curtain behind the hall suddenly opened, but a person walked out, Shen Ao looked sideways, only to find that at some point, a girl suddenly appeared, the girl was wearing a plain dress, clear and bright pupils looked at Shen Ao with shyness, curved willow eyebrows, long eyelashes trembling slightly; The fair and flawless skin reveals a faint red powder, and the thin lips are delicate like rose petals; He said in a low voice: "Childe's sentence is indeed clever when it is widely known to the body, but the little woman also has a way to solve the problem, please don't laugh at the child." ”

It turned out that he was here to smash the field!

Shen Ao smiled faintly, these beauties have seen a lot, but they don't care, seeing this girl's eager appearance, I want to laugh in my heart, could it be that this girl can also do scriptures? That's great, and listen to how she solves the problem!

Tang Yan looked slightly embarrassed and whispered, "Mo'er, don't mess around." ”

The girl named Mo'er looked at Tang Yan with a smile, although she was a little shy, she was not afraid of Tang Yan, and said, "Daddy, my daughter just wants to compete with Shen Gongzi." ”

Shen Ao shouted for Tang Yan in his heart, Master Tang supervised thousands of prisoners in the country, how could he get home, but he was disgraced, and he heard that in the wing room next door, Mrs. Tang yelled at him, and it seemed that he didn't even have enough prestige in front of his daughter, tragedy, too miserable.

Shen Ao smiled and said, "Please solve the problem, girl." ”

Mo'er nodded her head, and then raised her chin slightly, but it showed a bit of high and low, adding a little arrogance, and said in a low voice: "If it is Mo'er, Mo'er will first solve the problem with the sentence 'There is no name for the future generations, and the worries of the saints are also', as for the topic, Mo'er has already thought about it: the name of the husband for a time does not need to be there, and the name of the future generations must be indispensable." Therefore, the gentleman does not seek fame, and he has to be anxious about this. She muttered, it sounded good, glanced at Shen Ao, and said, "What does Shen Gongzi think?" ”

There is no name for the afterlife, and the saint's worries are also said that the lack of posterity is the worry of the saint, and this sentence is exactly the right topic at first glance, which means that even the saint pursues fame. This problem, although it fits the topic, is unpleasant.

Such a problem, even if I am afraid of hearing it, I can't help but shake my head; The wonderful thing is in her subject, that sentence so the gentleman does not seek fame, and has to be sick with this; This sentence explains the problem, and the explanation is very exquisite, the gentleman does not deliberately seek fame, but he was born in the world, but he has to fall into this cliché. Although there are strong arguments, the road makes sense, in fact, it is similar to Shen Ao's problem-solving. It's just that Shen Ao put this truth on the topic, but Mo'er put this explanation on the topic.

Shen Ao pondered for a moment, and then couldn't help but applaud, even Tang Yan, who was slightly embarrassed, couldn't help but move, and said again and again: "Okay, this sentence is also excellent." ”

Only Zhou Heng seemed to understand it, and drank a glass of wine boredly, and it was also with the shouts of everyone, anyway, my cousin and Lord Tang said good, where is the bad reason: "Okay, very good, Miss Mo'er's sentence is shocking, and she is full of anger, and she wakes up the person in her dream with a word, Xiaosheng admires it, admires it very much." ”

Mo'er said abruptly: "No matter how good Jingyi is, what's the use, Shen Gongzi is a great talent, and he can apply what he has learned in the future, but it's a pity that Mo'er has an empty stomach of ink, but it will eventually rot in the stomach." She didn't know why she said this inadvertently, but she felt that everyone's applause just now made her sour, and the words in her throat were not unpleasant.

When Shen Ao heard this, he immediately understood, this Mo'er girl hated herself for being a daughter, hey, in this era, there are indeed a lot of taboos for women, such a talented woman, if she is put in the examination room, the middle test is just a breeze, but because she is a woman, she can only be accompanied by Xiangge for the rest of her life.

Xiang Ge? Where is there a fragrant pavilion in this Tang family, and the four walls of the family are right!

Hey, this is even more miserable, Lord Tang can't even make money, guarding this poor family, and even his daughter suffers, so don't learn from Tang Yan as a person, although he is praised, but unfortunately for himself, for his wife and children, it is miserable.
