Although Brother Sao is more debauched in his private life, when it comes to the speed of collecting his heart, it is really fast.

When he arrived at Xu He's house, except for following Xu He to Xie Bin's house on the first day to deliver medicinal materials, he really stayed with peace of mind and studied with Xu He, without slacking off at all.

When Xu He saw him, he remembered a classmate in later generations.

Obviously, this guy will go to the roadside game hall to play until 7 o'clock in the evening after school.

But it's good for people to study, listen carefully in class, and carefully preview the content of the next class in addition to going to the toilet after class.

It's not like ordinary people at all, you can't stop it when you're addicted to playing, and your mind is full of ghosts and eight gods.

In the end, this guy's college entrance examination score was too good to be true, he went to the top university in China, and finally went abroad to complete his master's and doctorate with a full scholarship.

It is estimated that the owner of the game hall back then would not have imagined that in his dark and cramped game room, the teenager who played for a few hours with a coin would be such a scholarly character.

Xu He had to sigh that some people are born to be reading material, that classmate is, and so is Brother Saoren.

But after thinking about it, even Brother Sao Ren, a reading wizard, failed the township exam, it seems that this imperial examination is really not a human examination, why don't you work hard for a guy like me.

Just when Xu He was secretly poking and working hard, an unexpected person disrupted their peaceful life of studying hard behind closed doors.

One morning, the two were writing in the courtyard, Xu He and Xie Liangcai made an appointment to write an article every morning and evening, and in the evening, the two exchanged comments with each other.

In the morning, Xu He's essay was entitled "Clever Words Ling Se Zugong", which is from "The Analects of Gongye Chang", and the original text is [Zi said: "Clever words, Ling Se, and Zu Gong, Zuoqiu is ashamed, and Qiu is also ashamed. Hide grievances and make friends with others, Zuoqiu is ashamed, and Qiu is also ashamed. ”】

The translated meaning is, [Confucius said: "Rhetoric, pretending to be good-looking, posing to welcome, and being overly respectful, Zuo Qiu Ming thinks this kind of person is shameful, and I also think it is shameful." Putting resentment in his heart, but pretending to be friendly on the surface, Zuo Qiu Ming thinks this kind of person is shameful, and I also think it is shameful. ”】

The topic was only come up with by Xie Liang, and after thinking about it for a while, Xu He wrote on the paper to break the problem [The technique of flattering people, and so on. 】

Xu He broke the problem in this way, and he said the problems pointed out by the sage in combination with reality, which means that in today's society, it is really impossible to list them all if you count those flattering techniques.

At the beginning, he talked about reality in combination with history, and then pointed out that there are many tricks to flattering people, and the topics are [clever words], [Lingse], and [Zugong].

Then Xu He wrote: [The husband said words, said color, said gong, people must have it. And that is, with skill, order, and foot, together with the work of flattering].

This is the title of the eight-strand passage, which means speech, color, and respect, which everyone has. And once you use cunning and pleasing methods to decorate words, and show excessive deference, how good is that art of flattery!

At this point, Xu He's question has just ended.

After that, it is time to elaborate on the words of the saints.

Xu He gave examples from the three aspects of words, lust and courtesy, why a gentleman should be maverick, self-exalted, elegant in his heart, and not flattering to the outside world.

One of them is [Yan], Xu He began to expound from the three immortal [Liyan], saying that a person can't speak cautiously, his tongue is like a spring, and he reverses right and wrong at will, which is a manifestation of evil intentions hidden in his heart, and people who are talented and noble in conduct often follow their own hearts when they say them, and their minds are transparent and not excessive.

……

After writing it, he went back and read it carefully, and after changing some unsmooth places, he put it on the table with satisfaction, ready to rest for a while.

Xie Liangcai on the side only wrote the third strand in the middle of the article, and then saw that Xu He had moved his wrist and was ready to rest, and he couldn't help but envy this kid's quick thinking, these days he noticed that Xu He seemed to be particularly talented in the eight-strand article, and the content that others thought was boring, he came easily, and the article he wrote was also thought-provoking, and he was so envious that he couldn't live!

Just when Xie Liangcai was complaining in his heart, suddenly Zhang Sanrang walked on his short legs, holding a sugar ball that Xu He had just bought for him in his hand, and said indistinctly: "Xu Dacauldron, there is a wheel outside!" ”

After distinguishing for a long time, Xu He knew that the little guy was saying that someone was looking for him outside the door.

He touched Zhang Sanrang's head and smiled: "You, didn't I tell you to memorize the three-character scripture I taught you today before eating?" Why did you run outside the door and eat and play again? ”

When Zhang Sanrang heard this, he immediately covered his mouth and said, "I didn't, I didn't eat!" ”

said that he didn't eat it, but the cheeks bulged out of the outline the size of a hawthorn, and it looked very cute.

Xu He doted on his little head with his finger and got up to see who was coming, and said to himself as he walked: "It seems that the family is going to find a door and make a person!" ”

As soon as he walked to the door, he found that Zhang Hengyuan, the son of a salt merchant he had met in Yangzhou before, was standing at the door with a smile on his face.

Seeing Xu He, he laughed and said, "Xu Xiaoyou, we meet again!" ”

Xu He hurriedly invited him in.

Zhang Hengyuan said to Xu He while entering the courtyard: "Okay! I've been inquiring for so long, and I've been running a few times to find you, I'm really tired of killing my brother! ”

It turned out that this guy had checked the floating ticket stub earlier and learned about Xu He's residence in Xujia Village, so he took a car to find the door.

Who knew that when I inquired about the place, the villagers said that the Xu family followed the eldest lord Xu He to live in the city.

So he hurried to Phoenix Pier to ask for a meeting.

At this time, Xu Yong, who was guarding the door, informed him that Xu He's family had bought a yard on Shisheng Street and had moved out.

As soon as he arrived in the courtyard, Zhang Hengyuan suddenly saw that Xie Liangcai was also in the courtyard, his eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart was overjoyed.

"Brother Defu, you're here too!" Zhang Hengyuan thought secretly in his heart, that Japanese meeting, Xie Liangcai said that he had a very close relationship with Xu He's family, which seemed to be not a lie.

Xie Liangcai was most afraid of seeing his acquaintances in Yangzhou, and he was a little stunned when he saw Zhang Hengyuan, but he still stood up and bowed and said, "Brother Hengyuan, I don't know what kind of wind blew you here!" ”

Zhang Hengyuan sat down with a smile, didn't open his mouth at first, and found that there was an article written by Xu He on the table, so he picked it up and read it with interest.

After reading Xu He's article, he was full of praise and said: "Therefore, those with a good temperament and strict ethics are often more important than others." ……”

This paragraph is the third strand in Xu He's article, which is aimed at the word "Lingse".

It probably means that a virtuous person tends to speak pleasantly and softly, and does not need to decorate himself by raising his voice and accompanying exaggerated expressions.

The reason is simple, but Xu He's article is important because of its clear thinking.

In response to the criticism of the three characters "Yan", "Color", and "Gong", he finally said the theme of the article, pointing out the teachings of the sages and how people should change today.

The full text is thought-provoking, and there is almost no prose confrontation, but if Xu He's previous article is gorgeous and colorful, like a flower, it is unforgettable.

After this period of time, he read and understood Song Wen, and the articles he made were like tea trees, which looked ordinary, but the tea leaves were chewed and full of fragrance.

Zhang Hengyuan sighed: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and the article on the head of Xu's case has improved again, which makes me embarrassed by this favor!" ”
