"What is it that rejoices in Mother?" The old white man couldn't help but ask.

Mrs. Bai handed over the straw paper: "The father and son of the Zhu family from the countryside wrote a poem to me to celebrate my birthday, it is really good!" ”

The old white man took it with both hands, and after reading it, he also felt good.

Even if it's not good, the old mother likes it, then it must be good!

The straw paper was immediately passed to the county magistrate Xiang Bi, and the guy smiled, with a little disdain in his smile. Today is someone else's birthday banquet, although he despises this poem, but it is not easy to belittle it to his face, only said: "The fourth sentence is acceptable." ”

Bai Chongyan, Li Hanzhang, and Zheng Hong also watched it one after another.

They think it's okay, especially the last sentence, which simply turns decay into magic.

This brings to the status quo, people who are good at poetry and those who are not good at poetry do not have strict requirements for the plain format. It's just that Xiang Zhixian is a Jinshi who is relatively good at poetry, and he can't rub sand in his eyes, and he always feels that this poem is unsightly.

Don't take Li Qingzhao as an example, she said that Su Shi's words are not harmonious, purely out of personal grudges, and has nothing to do with literature itself.

And the resentment is not small, the father-in-law died due to political struggle, and the husband was arrested and taken to prison for interrogation. His father was exiled to Guangxi, and he died of depression after being allowed to return to his hometown. Li Qingzhao himself was forbidden to live in Kaifeng and went back to his hometown to live in seclusion alone. And the husband's family and the mother's family completely tore their faces, and they never got along with each other.

Even Li Qingzhao's marriage was a political product from the beginning.

All because her father was Su Shi's student, and her father-in-law was Su Shi's mortal enemy. Song Huizong wanted to reconcile the old and new party disputes, and the Shu party was the most suitable for lubricants, so he let the two families marry, and the party struggle would be an instant tragedy when it restarted.

"Pity the hearts of parents in the world, how well it is written," Mrs. Bai asked Xiang Bi, "Can the county let the father and son of the Zhu family come to sit at the main table?" ”

Although Xiang Bi was reluctant, he also smiled: "The guest is as good as the host." ”

Bai Jiaerlang went to invite in person, and soon found the father and son, and said with a smile on his face: "Please sit inside." ”

"I'm tired." Zhu Guoxiang clenched his fists and said.

Not only did the father and son pass, but they also brought the children with them, which somewhat made Bai Erlang a little speechless.

Coming to the main table, Zhu Guoxiang arched his hand and said: "Congratulations to the old lady on her birthday!" ”

Mrs. Bai said happily: "Not only is the poem written well, but also the talent is good, no wonder the daughter of the country wants to recruit money." ”

The daughter of the country is recruited?

Zhixian Xiang Bi was confused, and he couldn't figure out where there was a daughter country.

The insiders present were all holding back laughter.

They don't debunk it, anyway, the old lady is happy, the ninety years old is placed in ancient times, and it can barely be regarded as a person, and Renrui can say anything.

Zhu Guoxiang explained: "What daughter country, it is all a dog joke, don't take it seriously. ”

Zhu Ming laughed and said, "I talked nonsense." ”

Maybe it was the birthday poem that was written in the old lady's heart, no matter how the old lady Bai looked at them, the smile on her face was confiscated: "It's just nonsense, and the story is also wonderful." Can Xiao Zhu Xiucai ever be married? The old woman will help you find a good woman. ”

"The kid is determined to take the imperial examination, and after the middle examination, he will talk about marriage." Zhu Ming refused.

Mrs. Bai said: "If you take the examination well, there is Yan Ruyu in the book." ”

Talking about the imperial examination, Xiang Zhixian finally has a topic: "If you want the imperial examination, what can you do?" ”

Zhu Ming replied: "Yi." ”

Xiang Bi asked again: "Where does the teacher come from?" ”

Zhu Ming said: "I traveled around the world, listened everywhere, and did not apprentice. ”

Xiang Bi did not study the "Book of Changes" deeply, and deliberately bypassed this book: "The big scriptures must be cured, and the small classics must not be slack." I'm going to test you, shame and qualification, what's the meaning of it? ”

This is an examination of the Analects.

Zhu Ming replied with a smile: "Ge, Zhiye." Words and deeds are rated, and the people's inherent perception rises, and if there is a difference between shallowness and depth, and there is a courtesy, the people are ashamed of being unkind, and there are also good. ”

Xiangzhi County...... Silence.

Not only Xiang Bi, but the whole table, but everyone who has seriously studied the "Analects" all looked at Zhu Ming without saying a word.

For a moment, the audience fell silent.

It was Li Hanzhang who was the first to break this atmosphere, he stood up, tidied up his clothes, and acted uprightly: "I've been taught!" ”

Bai Chongyan also reacted, and then got up and said: "I've been taught!" ”

"Don't dare to be." Zhu Ming stood up and saluted back.

Zheng Hong's little fat man looked confused, although he had studied the "Analects", but when Xiang Zhixian asked the question just now, he only intercepted four words, and he hadn't even figured out the source.

Zhu Guoxiang didn't need to observe carefully, there was such a big reaction at the scene, it must be that his son was pretending to be forced again.

Xiang Zhixian groaned: "Ge, Zhiye...... It's a wonderful and thought-provoking explanation. ”

In the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty, the mainstream interpretation of the character "Ge" was "zheng". To be shameful and virtuous is to correct the ideological and moral concepts of the common people and guide them in the direction of goodness.

And Zhu Xi's explanation for this is to let the people have a sense of right and wrong, and take the initiative to pursue and do good - this sentence was instantly raised to a higher level.

Lao Bai has never spoken, and his level of "Analects" is only a little better than Zheng Hong, and he can't remember it when he's old. Observing everyone's reactions at this moment, I still couldn't figure it out, so I immediately praised: "Xiao Langjun is very knowledgeable!" ”

Xiang Zhixian is still a little unconvinced, a teenager who has not been taught by a famous teacher can actually say such a wonderful theory?

Xiang Bi thought about it carefully and asked again: "Zi said: I don't think about it, how far away is the husband?" ”

Zhu Ming quickly replied: "The saint has not tried to say that it is easy to be proud of his ambition, nor has he said that it is difficult to hinder people's progress. ”

Xiang Bi clapped his hands violently: "You are a disciple of Luoxue!" ”

Luoxue is the school of Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi.

Zhu Ming said: "I have admired Mr. Ercheng's name for a long time, but unfortunately I didn't have the opportunity to see him. ”

Li Hanzhang suddenly said: "Xiang Zhixian, 'The gentleman is Huaide, and the villain is Huaitu.'" The gentleman is punished, and the villain is favored', Zhu Dalang interpreted it as the word 'public and private'. I also went to Luoyang to study, but Luoxue didn't have such a solution. ”

"Public and private, public and ......private" Xiang Bi thought carefully, and suddenly laughed, "Hahaha, the son can be taught, but are you willing to study under my door?" ”

What the heck?

The whole table was stupid, and they had never seen such shamelessness.

Zhu Dalang has only learned people, and every time he interprets the "Analects", he can be unique and thought-provoking, and you inexplicably want to accept others as students. Have you been able to teach anything? It's just trying to take advantage of people!

But the magistrate took the initiative to accept apprentices, and Zhu Ming really didn't know how to refuse.

Seeing that Zhu Ming was embarrassed, Li Hanzhang said loudly: "I see that Zhu Dalang is talented and intelligent, and he is about to introduce him to my father!" ”

Xiang Bi heard this, and smiled embarrassedly, how could he dare to rob the apprentice with the state sentence?

Zheng Hong, the fat man, came out to play a round: "I already knew that Zhu Dalang was very good at learning." He is not only good at learning, but also good at telling stories, and every time I listen to his stories, I can't sleep at night. ”

The Bai family's private school, Mr. Liang Xue, sat next to the main table.

This old gentleman is usually dazzled and deaf, and he doesn't pay attention to the students' troubles. At this moment, he suddenly stood up and approached tremblingly: "Mencius said: 'The sage makes people clear with his manifestation; Now it is faint that it will be made clear.' Does Xiao Langjun have a new interpretation of this sentence? ”

"New or not, I don't know, I haven't worshipped the teacher," Zhu Ming said, "I think I can quote the words of the Book of Rites to explain that the way of the university is to show virtue from itself, and to apply it to the world and the country, and there are few people who are not in order." ”

At the main table, there was dead silence again.

Even Xiang Zhixian was not calm, sitting there looking at Zhu Ming stupidly.

In the late Northern Song Dynasty, the "University" had not yet been written as a separate book, but was only a part of the "Book of Rites", but it had been respected by many great Confucians.

The people here seem to have encountered ghosts, and they never dreamed that this sentence of "Mencius" can be explained by quoting the forty-second chapter of the "Book of Rites".

If this sentence is taken during the imperial examination, with the answer given by Zhu Ming, as long as the article is not written too badly, it will definitely be able to shock the marking officer!

Liang Xue opened his mouth, stopped talking, thought about it carefully, and arched his hand: "Taught!" ”

The old white man couldn't help but want to roll his eyes, and he had already begun to scold his mother in his heart: I will give you a salary, let you teach in my home, and you usually pretend to be deaf and dumb, you can be heard by the fuck.

Even if Xiang Zhixian is shameless, he is also from a Jinshi, he is really convinced this time, and said with emotion: "Xiao Langjun is really a genius who has not been encountered in a hundred years, and he can have such knowledge without worshipping a famous teacher!" ”

If you don't accept it, you can't.

If you say that the previous answers may be that young people are active in thinking. In the end, using the "Book of Rites" to explain "Mencius" is definitely not a fluke, but Zhu Ming read the "Book of Rites" and "Mencius" thoroughly.

What's more, Zhu Ming said that his scripture is "Yi", so "The Book of Rites" is only an elective course.

Can you read the elective courses thoroughly, but can you still pay off the major courses?

Zhu Guoxiang has been observing his words, and he feels a little bad at the moment, and his son seems to be pretending to be too much.
