Chapter 206: Maple Leaves Unknown Autumn

Zhao Rong recalled in his heart the clumsiness and gentleness of Qingjun when he tiptoed to kiss him in the depths of the Nuanxi Bamboo Garden yesterday.

There are also countless nights on the way to Duyou City, sleeping in his arms, dreaming or waking up, confused or joyful, shouting "Zhao Lang, Zhao Lang, I have Zhao Lang".

Zhao Rong's lips pursed.

Qingjun and Xiaoxiao's affection are enough for him for a lifetime.

By the way, there is also Qian'er, in fact, Zhao Rong didn't have too many thoughts about Qian'er before, but Qingjun suddenly mentioned it - presumably she had considered letting him take Qian'er a long time ago - Zhao Rong was a little in a trance, oh, Qian'er is strictly speaking a maid in the room, although he is a son-in-law, but Qingjun took the initiative to arrange it, and Zhao Rong can completely push the boat into the income room.

It's just that.

Although Qingjun is not as feudal and rigid as the women of some dynasties under the mountain, he also receives the limitations of this world and has a conservative concept.

And although Zhao Rong thinks that he is a bit macho and domineering, he can't accept the general arrangement of a living woman like a maid and a slave as a cargo.

He exhaled lightly and shook his head, let's wait for Qian'er to come back, the most important thing is to respect her wishes.

In addition to Qingjun, Xiaoxiao, and Qian'er, as for anything else, "give other women a home......

Zhao Rong scolded a scumbag with a smile in his heart.

Since this is the case, then keep some distance from other women, socialize and be polite, so as not to get entangled too deeply in the end, fall into it, and can't bear to "want it all" again......

Beside.

Yan glanced at Zhao Rong, only to see that one of his hands was tightly grasping the sleeve of his shirt that had just been stuffed into the paper, his eyes were slightly distracted, and he shook his head from time to time.

"Ziyu, is there anything wrong with this pair?"

"Ah, no, Mr. Yan, no problem. This pair of couplets was left by the students before, Mr. Zhu probably saw it, and when he came to Yaxing, he helped the disciple fill it in, and it was very neat, and Mr. Zhu was a wonderful person. ”

Yan Daodao heard this, bowed his head slightly, and saw that Zhao Rong's expression just now was not like the possibility he was worried about, so he didn't think about it anymore, and said in a deep voice: "There is one more thing." ”

Yan Jidao took out a small stack of paper manuscripts, and handed them over to Zhao Rong with several annotations on the Confucian scriptures that Zhao Rong had never seen.

"Your homework manuscripts these days, Jinshu has helped you correct them before, and the changes are generally good, and the old man took a closer look. ”

He stared at Zhao Rong.

"Ziyu, you do write better than some of your senior brothers, it seems that you have listened carefully to the lessons of the old man in the Taiqing Mansion, and have comprehended a lot, and even made novel explanations for the words of some saints, but ......"

Zhao Rong listened to Yan's praise at first, and he nodded, but the more he heard it, the more Zhao Rong guessed that there was a turning point, and at this moment, seeing Mr. Yan staring at him, his words paused, Zhao Rong shook his sleeves and bowed.

"The student is ignorant, please teach me. ”

Yan stroked his beard a few times, his expression was serious, and he didn't help Zhao Rong, "But it's not enough, for you, this is far from enough!"

He pointed to Zhao Rong's hand.

"Presumably because of your outstanding talent in poetry, you have written boring scriptures and articles, and the fireworks at the bottom of the pen are catchy to read, but these are just icing on the cake, and your understanding of some Confucian classics is still too shallow.

The two major arts of Confucianism, poetry and scripture, the former will not be mentioned for the time being.

The study and study of scriptures, you should calm down and be meticulous, cautious scrutiny, Ziyu your scriptures and articles are quoted a lot, easy to choose, the old man expects that you should like to read books and cover a wide range of knowledge, and even have studied a lot of knowledge of the hundreds of schools, but these are vague and imprecise, this is Ziyu, where your current problem lies. ”

"Ziyu, although you are still young, it is precisely because of this that you have to correct the problem of broad and empty knowledge, and you can't repeat the mistakes of your predecessors. ”

Zhao Rong listened solemnly and was silent.

In fact, he is also vaguely aware of this problem.

Before Zhao Rong woke up the memory of his previous life, his memory was extremely outstanding, but unfortunately his understanding was a little bad, in the words of Mr. Fang at the beginning, he was just not enlightened, and he was dull and didn't know how to think flexibly.

Later, Zhao Rong awakened the memory of his previous life, his personality was integrated, he began to think quickly, his thinking jumped out, and he made up for his shortcomings.

This is just the opposite of Zhao Rong's talent in terms of cultivation.

When discussing knowledge with Lin Wenruo in Zhongnanguo before, Lin Wenruo praised him more than once for being a rare seed of reading.

It's just that a genius is just a genius after all, and it can't be sanctified by an instant epiphany without accumulation.

Among the hundreds of schools in the world, no matter how good the talent is, you must concentrate on accumulating, studying knowledge, and honestly laying a good foundation, so that you can have the opportunity to achieve something.

Moreover, Zhao Rong was not an old scholar in his previous life, but was just a young graduate of his personal literature department who studied ancient literature, so even if there was a fusion of memories of the two lives, he could not compare with Yan Jidao in many aspects of Confucian learning.

The latter is a great Confucian in the Jindan realm who is proficient in Confucianism and Taoism, and he has been deeply cultivated in front of him for many years, and it is estimated that he is longer than the combined age of Zhao Rong and the two generations.

It's just that, according to Zhao Rong's understanding of the current Confucian system in the Xuanhuang realm, Mr. Yan is still only a scholar, or most of the gentlemen in the seventy-two Confucian academies, including Linlu Academy, are like this.

This is not to say that they are too weak and not solid in learning - almost all of them are great Confucians, mellow Confucians, and in the country under the mountain, they are at least the masters of the literary world, not to mention the Confucian and Taoist cultivators - but because the title of gentleman is too difficult to obtain, the Zhongzhou Confucian Temple has extremely strict conditions for granting it.

It is not based on your Confucianism and Taoism, nor on your profundity of Confucianism.

It depends on whether your knowledge has expanded and innovated in the path of your predecessors, or whether it is ...... Embark on a new path, create a new discipline in the school, and open up a new path for future generations.

However, in the latter case, it is almost impossible, and there are still some opportunities to dig the "path", but the "avenue" is almost impossible to think about, this is the way of the sage.

Whoever has done it has been sanctified.

And among the hundreds of schools of thought in the Xuanhuang realm, this situation has been extinct for 10,000 years, and in the hundreds of schools of thought, almost none of the saints have a hand, this is still like Confucianism, Taoism, and Mo.

Of course, there is no need for such an exaggerated scholarship to obtain the title of gentleman.

For Confucian scholars, they only need to accumulate a certain amount of new knowledge on one of the six arts of the gentleman.

In this way, the Zhongzhou Confucian Temple can give the title as appropriate.

And if it can be further expanded, and a new doctrine is born in the three realms of heaven, earth and man where a hundred schools of thought are fighting, then it can be touched by the title of "sage", which is even rarer than "gentleman".

Zhao Rong's previous "one-source doctrine" proposed in the debate of Confucianism and Taoism in the Southern Kingdom can be roughly classified into this category, although it has not yet reached the standard of obtaining the titles of "gentleman" and "sage" in Confucianism, but it is enough to make Yan Jidao sigh after learning about it.

Zhao Rong also discovered that this system of the hundred schools of thought in the Xuanhuang Realm was somewhat similar to the academic circle in his previous life.

Mr. Yan Jidao and other scholars are like the professors in the university where Zhao Rong was in his previous life, who were profoundly knowledgeable but had not yet published top journals.

Zhao Rong also saw his own prophetic advantage from his previous life.

At the same time, there are shortcomings.

Zhao Rong loved ancient literature in his previous life, read through the official history, and liked to read miscellaneous books, and even dabbled in remote knowledge such as ancient business ticket numbers and ancient herbal medicines, but he knew more about his major.

When Zhao Rong's memory of his previous life was interrupted when he stayed up late to write his graduation thesis, he still remembered that he had painstakingly prepared this article for more than half a year, called "The Treatise on the Sons of the Pre-Qin Dynasty".

For this reason, Zhao Rong looked through all the materials of the pre-Qin Zhuzi school that he could find, and understood many of the ideas they advocated.

Now that Zhao Rong has a good memory, he still remembers a lot of the doctrines of these hundred schools.

After waking up his memory, Zhao Rong often read miscellaneous books, dabbling in some books of the hundred schools of thought of the Xuanhuang Realm, and also understood the difference between them in this world and the history of his previous life.

It really made him discover a lot of "forgotten treasures".

However, as Yan Jidao said, because Zhao Rong had a vague understanding of this knowledge, but he was not refined, he could not dig these treasure chests.

It's like having inspiration alone, but you can't realize it yourself, it's like guarding a treasure chest with no key to open it.

The situation is just the opposite of Yan Jidao, who is a scholar who is meticulous but lacks a glimmer of inspiration.

And this is also one of the reasons why Zhao Rong entered Linlu Academy.

Here, he felt he could get the growth he needed......

With this thought in mind, Zhao Rong was upright, and saluted Mr. Yan, who had been staring at him, and said, "Mr. teach me." ”

Yan Jidao was silent, suddenly turned around, and walked back to the leafy maple tree with a sword, "Come here, take a hand." ”

Zhao Rong was slightly stunned for a while, stepped forward, and also took a sword on the stone table, and went to the bottom of the tree.

It's just that Zhao Rong is not familiar with this kind of farming, and he is a little afraid of hurting the maple tree, so he stands aside and observes for a while.

I saw that his movements were skillful and orderly, and the originally lush leaves were cut by him.

Yan Jidao turned his back to Zhao Rong, and suddenly said: "Ziyu, do you know that it is autumn, why are the maple leaves of this tree not red?"

Zhao Rong took a look and found that this maple tree was indeed a little strange, and he said casually: "Is it a lack of fertilizer?" ”

Yan Jidao shook his head, "The place where the Taiqing Four Mansions are located is the blessed land of the Immortal Family, and the land is fertile, where is there a lack of fertility here?"

Zhao Rong thought about it, he wanted to say that it was because the sunlight was not enough, but he looked at the maple tree with red leaves, and found that the courtyard was open and there were no buildings to block the sun.

Zhao Rong groaned, "Is it because of the lack of water, I heard that the red maple has a high demand for clean water." ”

Yan Jidao shook his head again, stretched out his hand, and pointed to the well in the corner of the courtyard, "There is a water source underground, and the red maple is deeply rooted, so why is there a shortage of water?"

Zhao Rong frowned slightly, and looked up at this red maple that was obviously in an excellent environment, but the maple leaves were not red.

Yan Jidao also looked up with him.

The two were silent together for a while.

Zhao Rong was speechless.

Yan Jidao's face was calm.

A certain moment.

Yan said softly: "This red maple is because the fertility is too good, and there is no shortage of water and sunlight, so it grows indiscriminately and grows into such a lush appearance today." ”

He withdrew his gaze and glanced at Zhao Rong.

"Look at the health and growth, but because of the disordered luxuriant branches and leaves, most of the leaves can not get sunlight, and the interior is not well ventilated, how do you say this maple leaf can be red?"

Yan said in a deep voice: "The maple tree should be the most beautiful in autumn, but now the red maple is not red, and the year is not as good as the year, and even the autumn has been forgotten." ”

Yan Jidao stretched out his hand and waved, "You look at this huge Taiqing Mansion, whether it is a tree or a person, there are many, many of them, is it all like this?"

He stood with his hands behind his back, looked up at the red maple that forgot autumn, and whispered to himself.

"If it were planted in our Linlu Academy, it would never be like this, never. ”

Zhao Rong was silent, turned around and clasped his fists and saluted.

"Student Zhao Ziyu, taught by Mr. ”
