As a rule, the Grand Master is in the vicinity of the place, and the local chief official needs to be accompanied.

But at this time, Li Zhijie, the county magistrate of Hailing County, had just been promoted to the general judge of Yangzhou Prefecture, and the new county magistrate was still on the way, until the grand master got off the sedan chair, and Hu Xiancheng came in from outside the courtyard panting breathlessly.

For a while, a group of people crowded into the hula courtyard, Xu Dai and his son, Master Yan, the yamen officials, and the secretary office circled around the great master like stars holding the moon.

This scene made Xu He sigh and whisper to Chu Yuan on the side: "No wonder everyone wants to be an official, who is not greedy when they see this style?" ”

Chu Yuan also nodded with a look of fascination: "If I can be so good in the future, it will be regarded as a glorious ancestor!" ”

An official of this level will definitely not do anything immediately when he falls into a sedan chair.

Xu Dai and Hu Xiancheng first welcomed him into Master Yan's study to wait for tea, and everyone waited for two pillars of incense before they saw Master Tixue walking towards the school under the support of everyone.

The moment everyone saw the Great Grandmaster, they all lowered their heads and said in unison, "I've seen the Great Grandmaster!" ”

Tixue looked at everyone, turned his head to Xu Dai and said: "Xu Wenjian Gong pressed Ji'an, Jiangxi Province back then, and the official was studying in Ji'an Mansion at that time. Now by the grace of God, Admiral Nanzhi Xuezheng, but Wen Jian Gongxian has passed away for a long time, and he is stunned to think about it! ”

Xu Wenjian, the father of Xu Song and Xu Dai, the last name of Xu Fan, the first generation of the Hailing Xu family, is said to be [Jane] without understanding, and it is easy to say [Jane].

[Jane] belongs to the virtue, virtuous and unremitting, peaceful and flawless.

can get such a good word, to be honest, it is because the story of his return home from the Jiangxi school and political post to teach his son was widely spread in the Great Wei Dynasty, and in the end, although the emperor didn't like Xu Fan, he also pinched his nose and gave the good word!

Xu Dai didn't expect that the great grandmaster still had this connection with his own family, and when he heard this, he immediately admired: "One drink and one peck, he has his own number of days, in the final analysis, the great grandmaster is knowledgeable, and my father just sees the cone exposed in his bag!" ”

The Great Grandmaster's serious face finally had a hint of a smile, and he asked again, "I heard that Xiao Shigong is sick, but is there such a thing?" ”

Xu Dai showed a worried look on his face: "My brother has been sick since the winter!" ”

The Grand Master nodded: "I'll pay a visit when I'm done!" ”

When Xu Dai heard this, on the one hand, he felt that he had a deep relationship with the great grandmaster, and his face was bright; On the one hand, because the Great Grandmaster only spoke to himself after entering the door, he was even more happy, and he hurriedly took his son and bowed down and said: "The Great Grandmaster is here, the Han family is shining, and the eldest brother must be happy when he knows it." ”

Xu Luan on the side was even more proud, at this time, he didn't have to turn his head, he could imagine that the eyes around him looking at his father and son were all envious.

At this time, the Grand Master turned his head to look at the people in the room, his face had already lost the color of kindness, and the thick official authority suddenly climbed up his cheeks again.

"I see that the people standing in front of you are all dressed in Lan shirts, I think you are students from Hailing County School?" The Great Grandmaster said.

All the members of the audience bowed their hands and said yes, bending over and not daring to get up.

"In the beautiful place of Zhong Lingyu, the reader is really extraordinary!" The Grand Master said, "Raise your heads!" No formality! ”

At this time, all the scholars inside and outside the academy raised their heads, and they could look at this biggest official in the cultural and educational system of a province.

"How many students are there in the county?" The Grand Master asked.

Originally, the role of this kind of reply should be the county order, but the county order has not yet arrived, Hu Xiancheng had no choice but to catch the ducks on the shelves, and replied tremblingly: "Great Grandmaster, there are 68 students in the county school, according to the regulations of the imperial court, there are 20 people who are born in the county, 20 people who are born in addition, and 28 people who are epiphysical, except for the two who are old and sick and cannot make the trip, the remaining sixty-six people have all arrived!" ”

Xu He secretly admired Lao Hu in his heart, this is obviously a matter of doing his homework, don't underestimate these numbers, some lazy officials may not know.

The Grand Grandmaster nodded, and then asked, "What is the situation of the enrollment of students in social studies inside and outside the county?" ”

Lao Hu wiped his sweat and continued: "Whoever is in the four corners of the city, Daguan unifies all social schools to teach the township, and the children are eight years old to four out of ten are enrolled in school, and the father and brother connived and refused to send the scholars, persuaded them, and if they refused, they would be punished!" ”

The Grand Master was very satisfied when he heard this.

Lao Hu saw that he had no follow-up, so he took the initiative to retreat.

At this time, the Grand Master's gaze looked at the students of the county school.

He randomly pulled a middle-aged scholar standing in the middle and said: "Zi said: [On the relationship between the gentleman and the gentleman, and the color of the village? 】”

When Xu He heard this question from the Great Grandmaster, it was actually quite simple.

This article is from "The Analects of Advanced".

On the Du is with, that is, the meaning of praising the speech is true, this is the inversion of "and on the Du", and is a verb, indicating praise, and on the Du is just an object in advance, and [is] is used for the inversion between the verb and the object, which has no meaning.

If you understand this paragraph, you will understand what the words of the sage are saying.

Translated into this, Confucius said, to praise a person who speaks steadily, but what about such a person who is a true gentleman? Or does it just look dignified in terms of appearance?

To say that Confucius is the most famous thinker in Chinese history is really worthy of the name.

Let's take this sentence as an example, for thousands of years, how many people have been taught to see the essence through phenomena.

To evaluate a person, we should not only listen to his words, but also observe his deeds.

Perhaps in the later generations of the explosion of knowledge, this sentence sounds nothing, and almost everyone understands the truth.

But in this life, books are very precious, and when a peasant child hears this truth for the first time, it can really be said to be deafening.

The Grand Master said: "Try to solve it!" ”

The middle-aged student didn't expect that he was the first to be called up to answer, and in the face of the eyes of everyone present, he was suddenly sweating profusely.

finally sorted out his mood, and finally stumbled and explained: "A gentleman is high-grade, a person with good looks and a good sense of knowledge...... It's not easy! ”

"Sneer......" Xu Luan couldn't help but laugh out loud in the school hall where he could hear the needle dropping.

Xu Dai suddenly broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this, and the great grandmaster also frowned, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that he was standing behind Xu Dai, so he pretended to be indifferent and looked at the middle-aged student: "It's not bad, but do you have a history?" Can you use the events of the previous dynasty to explain the words of the sage? ”

Xu He had an answer to this question after a little thought.

But there is no doubt that in the era of the eight-strand theory, many people who read history only read it a little and then passed, and many people did not seek to understand it.

The Grand Master asked the middle-aged student to use an example from history to illustrate the correctness of the sage's words, which is simply an additional topic for today's scholars.

Sure enough, the student broke out in a cold sweat, and he didn't know how to answer.
