Chapter 3: Reading and Reasoning (3)

The breeze blows through the world, the earth rejuvenates, everything is renewed, and a majestic vitality exudes an attractive fragrance, which is really the spring breeze is not the same as the four seasons.

"Song Kingdom, Song King Zhao Ji, shouldn't it be the emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji? What is this, could it be that I remembered it wrong?" At this time, Ning Caichen stood outside the house, looking at the blue sky, looking at the distant mountains, the white clouds, under the golden sun, he was in a small bridge and flowing water in the countryside, and his face was extremely strange and said to himself.

This is him turning over the memories of his predecessor, and then he has a half-understood understanding of the world he is in now.

That's right, it's half-understood.

Because of his predecessor, he had access to a relatively low amount of knowledge, and in this ancient world, where information dissemination was extremely poor and the means of transportation were rudimentary, in many cases, even a map seemed extremely extravagant. The people live here, live in a corner, plough at sunrise, rest at sunset, and live a lifetime or a melancholy, and the sky above their heads is everything.

Therefore, in the memory of his predecessor, not to mention the outside of the Song Kingdom, just to say the situation in the Song Kingdom itself, in his impression, he can't even know a general outline of the situation around Chenxian County, let alone others.

You must know that this is in ancient times, but it is not the network information age of another world, people can know the world without going out, so there are many people in ancient times, they have not gone out of a hundred miles away in their lives, like Ning Caichen's fourteen years of life, at most the year before last, he went to the county seat seventy or eighty miles away, and he has never left this Ningjia Village, and the people he interacts with, let alone have any great knowledge, a private school Mr. is the most knowledgeable person.

Therefore, in his memory, it is already very good to be able to remember who the ruler of this country is, but most people, they actually only know who the county official is, which is called Tiangao Emperor Yuan, and the county official is not as good as the current management.

"It turns out that in this world, fifteen years old is adulthood, and then the crown ceremony takes words, no wonder the ex doesn't understand anything, after all, he is still a fourteen-year-old boy, very young. It seems that if I don't go out and have a look, I don't know the real situation in the outside world. Staring at the surrounding scenery of green mountains and green waters, birds and flowers, he knew that there was too little information about this world, so that he really couldn't judge whether this world was a world full of demons and monsters.

All right.

He admits that he wants to figure out what kind of world he is in, and in addition to being uneasy about the unfamiliar environment and a desire to learn, he is also thinking about ghosts.

If Ning Caichen is really that Ning Caichen, then Nie Xiaoqian is a turning point in his life.

If Ning Caichen doesn't meet Nie Xiaoqian, is it still Ning Caichen?

"Caichen, you're well. Just when Ning Caichen was looking at the sky in the distance and was in a daze, at this time, a middle-aged woman on the trail was carrying a basket in her hand and shouted in surprise, and then she ran over excitedly.

"Auntie, the road is not easy, you slow down. At this time, Ning Caichen came back to his senses, and when he heard this familiar voice, he also quickly greeted the woman, held her arm, and said with concern.

She is Ning Caichen's closest relative, and after his parents died when he was thirteen years old, it was not easy for this aunt to pull him so big, as if he had already appeared.

"It's okay, it's okay, my aunt hasn't been so useless. For Ning Caichen holding his arm, the woman in front of her, a warm smile appeared on her old face, and she said with a chuckle.

"Come to Caichen, you're hungry. ”

"Well, it's delicious. ”

"Eat slowly, you kid. ”

......

......

"A private school should be a private school in a feudal society. ”

"There is also the Ning clan, I didn't expect the Ning clan to be regarded as a family with a head and a face in this Chenxian County, but unfortunately, it is just the face of the lineage, people like me who have come out of the five suits, even if they have to pay tuition fees for the next clan study, like outsiders, they are authentic children of the poor family, but because the ancestors left a few fields, they barely starved to death. "When my aunt left just now, she told Ning Caichen that this year's spring will begin, and in six days, Ning's private school will start, and you have to prepare the tuition.

And this tuition fee has risen again this year, one or two silver, black as charcoal.

This made Ning Caichen, who only had a few pennies in his belongings, very powerless, so although he couldn't write two Ning characters in one stroke, the Ning clan really had nothing to do with him.

He didn't have any good feelings.

Because, with the tuition fee rising year by year, in order to provide for his education a few years ago, his father sold all the things that the family could sell, and now there is only a few pieces of land left, which is the heirloom of their family.

Even if his father and mother were seriously ill, they were unwilling to sell, saying that they would be sorry for their ancestors and had no shame to see their ancestors, so this person who did not live in the feudal era did not know the people's desire and attachment to the land, and regarded the land as more valuable than their own lives.

Also, if a family has no land, in order to live, then it can only become someone else's tenant, and in the event of a disaster, it will have to sell its children and daughters, and then sell itself.

Therefore, when his father would rather die than sell his land, then he Ning Caichen would definitely not be able to sell his land for the sake of studying, which is very easy to be branded as unfilial.

Otherwise, with his natural advantage as a traverser, he really didn't take those few points of land in his eyes.

"I have already learned the Analects, Zi said: "When you learn it, don't you also say it? There are friends from afar, and you are happy? People don't know and are not ashamed, and they are not gentlemen?" At this time, when he came to the back of the table, Ning Caichen opened an old book on the table, looked at the familiar words on it, and a sense of familiarity came to his heart, which made his face suddenly, shake his head, and read it aloud naturally.

......At this time, I don't know where he read the Analects, but I saw that in his chest and heart, a strange breath was born.

It seemed to be an illusory white dot, and then the white dot like a grain of rice suddenly expanded again, and in the blink of an eye, it became a candle as big as a minute, and then it burned violently like a blazing fire cooking oil, and made a strange roar.

There is also a majestic and upright atmosphere, which spreads out from the flames, which is very strange and incredible.

But Ning Caichen didn't notice these visions, he was still shaking his head and reading, he felt that his soul was now clear, reading this familiar Analects, but there was a different kind of understanding, he understood a lot of truths in it.

At this time, he was in a trance, as if he had entered the world of the Analects, listening to the interweaving of thousands of words, the infinite true meaning was ringing, and it seemed that there were countless great Confucians preaching the scriptures and preaching for themselves.
