Infrastructure masters in the red building

At the end of June, when the heat is at its peak, the repair of the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in the Grand View Garden was announced.

The children of Rongning and Ningfu heard that the Grand View Garden had "beginning to take shape", and they all proposed to enter the garden to enjoy the scenery.Jia Fang thought about it and thought there would be no problem, so he reminded them to come here either in the morning when the heat has not yet risen, or in the evening when the heat dissipates and the sun is not shining, so as not to suffer from heatstroke.

As a result, some people couldn't get up in the morning, so everyone made an appointment to wait outside the gate of the Grand View Garden in the evening and enter the garden together.

The one who can't get up is the only seedling in Ningfu, named Jia Zhen.Jia Daihua, Duke of Ningguo, had only one legitimate son, Jia Jing. Jia Jing became a Jinshi early on, and after two years as an official, he devoted himself to cultivating Taoism.Jia Daihua had no choice but to concentrate on cultivating this grandson.

Jia Zhen was somewhat embarrassed when she saw Jia Fang, because Jia Fang was Jia Zhen's elder, and when Jia Zhen saw her, she should have called "Uncle Fang".But when it comes to age, Jia Zhen is a few months older than Jia Fang.

Jia Fang is a bastard, so when Jia Zhen saw her before, she always skipped the greeting, and it was considered polite to nod her head.

But it's different now, since Jia Fang received the reward last time, and even got the fiefdom of Rong Guogong in the south, everyone in the two mansions knew that the wind had changed, and the third master of Rong Mansion was no longer a "poor little man".On Jia Zhen's side, the voice of "Fang Sanshu" finally came out.

Jia Fang also felt awkward, in the end let Jia Zhen call her Biaozi.Jia Zhen smiled, probably thinking that Jia Fang was quite upright, and her attitude suddenly warmed up a lot.

Jia Amnesty didn't come, he should be at home watching over his wife.Therefore, Jia Zheng, Jia Min, Jia Fang and Jia Zhen were the only ones visiting the garden together.

The Grand View Garden was originally the garden of Jia Zhen’s family. Seeing the current appearance of the garden, Jia Zhen nodded her head in praise and said, “After Zifang tidies up like this, the former slump in the garden will disappear. I can’t even recognize it.” This is my garden."

Jia Fang didn't care if he said the word "my family" intentionally or unintentionally. Anyway, people from Rongning and Ningxia have no control over the ownership of this garden, so what's the point of being hypocritical.

A group of people entered the garden, looked left and right, and felt that they couldn't see enough.

Jia Min pointed to a newly created piece of water in the garden and asked, "Third brother, with such a large water surface, won't mosquitos grow in summer?"

Jia Fang shook his head and said, "No, firstly, the pond is running water, and secondly, there are many koi in the pond, which will eat mosquito larvae."

"Larva?" Jia Min couldn't understand.

"It's just larvae. When there are fewer larvae, there will be fewer mosquitoes." Jia Fang explained, and Jia Min understood, nodded and said, "So that's how it is."

With the sun slanting to the west, the group first went to Daoxiang Village.The two plots in front of Daoxiang Village are not really planted with rice, but with cabbage, which is the predecessor of Chinese cabbage. The main reason is that Jia Fang wants to try to see if he can make sauerkraut.

There are melons and vines on the fence beside the two plots, and all kinds of melons and vegetables are growing very well.In fact, some vegetables in Rongning Second Mansion's recent meals are supplied from here.

The princes and ladies of the two mansions didn’t know these dishes anyway, but Jia Min guessed a little bit, and asked Jia Fang: “Third brother, I said why the food in the mansion is not so greasy recently, and there are some fresh vegetables from time to time. Is it right? The produce from Daoxiang Village has been sent to the big kitchen."

"Yes!" Jia Fang nodded, remembering what Jia Zhen had emphasized just now, he simply added, "Both houses gave it away."

Jia Zhen's complexion improved, and she pointed to the courtyard gate of Daoxiang Village, and asked, "Zifang, this'Xinglian is looking at', don't you welcome us to go in and have a look?"

Jia Fang shook his head and said with a smile: "It's getting late, if you don't go to the newly built Xiaoxiang Pavilion now, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave the garden until dark."

Jia Zhen shook her head and stopped insisting, and Jia Fang hurriedly led the brothers and sisters to the Xiaoxiang Hall together.

The weather at the end of June, everyone felt a little bit hot all the way, but when they approached the Xiaoxiang Pavilion and saw the verdant bamboo forest, their hearts were already three points cooler.

"Third brother, it's really nice here... It's clean and elegant!" Jia Min fell in love with it as soon as he saw it.This made Jia Fang couldn't help feeling secretly: It seems that tastes and preferences can also be inherited.

Jia Zheng, with his hands behind his back, looked at the positions of the plaques and couplets, probably to see if there was anything he could do for him. With the words "Baoding tea is still green when it's idle, and it's still cold after you've played chess at the window", Jia Zheng decided not to make any more fuss, and asked directly, "Third brother, who actually wrote this plaque and couplet?"

Jia Fang naturally said that it was originally in the garden, he just repaired the plaque and hung it up again.Several people boasted of elegance together.

The brothers and sisters walked into the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and saw that the upper room in the middle of the pavilion was arranged as a chess room, the east room was a study room, and the west room had a concubine's couch, a place where you could take a rest in the afternoon.

After going to the house, there is a small courtyard planted with pear trees and plantains.Jia Min and the others looked at each place one by one, only to feel that everything is fine and indecent.

Especially the study room on the east side - this study room originally had no windows, and the interior was dark, but the roof of this room was fitted with two bright tiles, and the outside skylight directly penetrated in, illuminating the surroundings.

Jia Zheng was the first to see the bookshelves full of books, and hurried over, asking, "Third brother, where do you get these books...they're all wrapped in covers, without the titles written on them." !"

Of course, Jia Fang said that it was originally left here: "It was originally in this room. I rebuilt all the buildings outside, but the bookshelves and books inside are all original."

"Oh?" Jia Zheng asked, "So, the third brother doesn't know what's on the shelf?"

Jia Fang shook his head: "I don't know, Second Brother might as well take a copy and read it for himself." At the same time, he was also curious about what he would get off the shelf if it was Jia Zheng.

So Jia Zheng also took out a copy, and carefully opened the title page.

"Hey!" Jia Zheng suddenly gasped and let out a cry, startling everyone.

In Jia Fang's cognition, Jia Zheng's "噫" is roughly equivalent to the degree that later generations accidentally said "Damn" when they were extremely emotional.And Jia Fang came to Jia Zheng's side and found that his eyes were really popping out of their sockets.

When Jia Zheng heard the footsteps, he immediately raised the book in his hand and asked Jia Fang, his voice trembling with excitement: "Do you know what book this is? This is "Spring and Autumn Gongyang Jiegu" written by He Xiu in the Eastern Han Dynasty①! "

Jia Zheng didn't care about Jia Fang's reaction, he quickly flipped through the book and said, "It looks like the Song version!"

The old man couldn't contain his excitement, so he held the book in his arms and begged Jia Fang like a child: "My third brother, can I lend this book to my second brother first? In the bookshops all over the city, this book will be read." I have been begging for this for a long time, but who knows that your place is still Song version."

At this time, Jia Min came over curiously, reached out to take down a copy, opened it, read the words on the title page, and immediately smiled: ""Li Yishan Collection", I like it."

Li Yishan is Li Shangyin, no wonder Jia Min is so familiar with "Heaven's will pity the grass, and the world is full of evening sunshine".

Encouraged by Jia Fang, Jia Min made persistent efforts and pulled out another book. This time she smiled even more happily: ""Shu Yu Ci", I like this one too."

"Shu Yu Ci" is Li Qingzhao's collection of ci, which is obviously very appetizing to Jia Min.

Jia Fang secretly gave Jia Min a thumbs up in his heart, this sister is indeed a poet with knowledge of goods, and all the characters are the best choice.

Jia Zhen stood aside, looking interesting, so she also stepped forward and said with a smile: "My family's books?...Why don't I remember my father mentioning it?" He stretched out his hand, picked one lightly, and casually Open it and look through it, and say, "Let me see what it's all about..."

About Jia Zhen originally wanted to say "what kind of books are they?", but he didn't know that the word "book" didn't come out of his mouth. He was dumb and stunned for a moment. "It's nothing, it's just an idle book!" Then he quickly put this "idle book" into his sleeve, and looked at the bookshelf in front of him, and he also became strange.

He didn't know that when he opened the book just now, Jia Fang happened to be standing obliquely behind him. Out of the corner of his eye, he happened to see the book in Jia Zhen's hand, and just happened to see that there were no words on the page, just some pictures, and some ...a picture that is not suitable for children.

——Secret | play picture? !

Jia Zhen opened her mouth to say something, but finally she endured it.Jia Fang was very skeptical. If he hadn't blocked Jia Zhen's mouth before, saying that the bookshelf was originally in the garden of Ningfu, Jia Zhen might have accused him: "What kind of filthy place is this?"

Jia Fang's core is not a child, so he glanced at it and didn't think anything, just hot eyes.But with Jia Min here, she must not let her see such things.So Jia Fang hurriedly greeted everyone: "It's getting late, if you don't go back to the house, my wife will blame me later."

Jia Zheng and Jia Min were completely immersed in the books they found at the moment: Jia Zheng rubbed the cover of the book, couldn't put it down, and smirked from time to time, while Jia Min also smiled and begged Jia Fang in a low voice: "Third brother, these two books I want to read." Borrow it to take a look, okay?"

Of course Jia Fang said yes.

But Jia Min said: "In the future, the third brother might as well take an inventory of the books in this bookstore and make a list. Perhaps it can also be like other study rooms and bookstores, and make a "List", "General Record" and so on. come out..."

Before Jia Min finished speaking, Jia Zhen coughed loudly, interrupted Jia Min, and said, "It's really getting late, everyone should leave."

So Jia Fang sent the group out of the gate of the Grand View Garden, bid farewell to his brothers and sisters for a while, returned to the garden by himself, checked the lights everywhere, and then exited the gate of the garden and locked the gate of the Grand View Garden.

He walked all the way and thought back: judging from the reflections of himself, Shuangwen, Jia Zheng, Jia Min, and even Jia Zhen and Fuya, it is basically certain that this "smart" bookshelf in the Xiaoxiang Library is a bookcase for readers. / User-oriented.

That is to say, the person standing in front of the bookshelf can get what kind of books from the shelf if he has any needs; and for those who have no clear needs, the principle of allocating books from the bookshelf may be based on their daily life. That's why he got the "Ten Books on Architecture", Jia Min got the poetry collection, and Jia Zhen...

——But this Jia Zhen is too precocious!Why is my mind always thinking about that matter, Cao Gong wrote the verdict for Qin Keqing, "Love the sky, the sea, the sea, and the body, and when love meets, you must be prostitute." Could it be this person who is actually talking about?

Jia Fang took out the key from his pocket and carefully locked the garden gate.

As soon as he turned around, he suddenly saw a man standing in front of him with his hands behind his back.Jia Fang was startled, patted his heart, and then hurriedly saluted, saying: "Uncle!"

Standing behind him with a kind face was none other than Jia Zhen's grandfather, Jia Daihua.

"Fang'er, I heard that your garden is well maintained, so why didn't you invite your uncle to have a look at it?"

Jia Daihua asked in person, but Jia Fang naturally couldn't refuse, and immediately reopened the gate of the garden, and respectfully invited Jia Daihua to enter.

At this time, it was already dusk, and the fiery clouds in the sky had gradually sunk to the roofs of Rongning Second Mansion in the distance.The light in the garden became dimmer, and Jia Fang regretted that he should have brought a lantern in.

Unexpectedly, Jia Daihua didn't really want to visit the garden at night, after he entered the garden, he came to the water of Qinfang River and stopped.Looking at the Grand View Garden, which is getting newer, Jia Daihua sighed.

"Fang'er, this garden was originally owned by King Qing. For the past 14 years, the Ningguo Mansion has only managed it for the royal family—no matter what nonsense Zhen'er says, don't take it to heart."

This is... to clarify the attitude of Ningguo Mansion, and to apologize for what Jia Zhen said?

Jia Fang quickly patted his chest to assure that he would not care - the real situation was the same, he didn't need to bother about what someone like Jia Zhen said.

"I don't know if you feel that your father is keeping secrets and is unwilling to tell the truth about this garden, but in fact, he will never know more about this garden than you. You are the owner of this garden. "

Jia Fang: ...It's really possible.He intuited that Jia Daishan only knew the surface, and he had to discover the details by himself.

"14 years ago, this garden was still called Huifang Garden, and it was originally the residence of King Qing." Jia Daihua seemed to be feeling the past.

Jia Fang had heard about the past from Jia She, but he didn't know why Jia Daihua brought it up at this time.

"King Qing used to be the emperor's teacher. When he first ascended the throne today, he assisted the government for ten years, and his prestige was unparalleled in the world. This is not because he is a powerful minister, but because he really deserves to be an 'emperor's teacher' known as."

"When he was assisting the government, he put forward a lot of 'new learning' viewpoints, all of which were unprecedented."

Jia Fang became vigilant: Big Bert called him into the Grand View Garden and said that in the past, the original owner of the garden had put forward new ideas and theories... Could this have something to do with his discovery in the garden?

Every time he wanted to ask his father Jia Daishan the truth about the garden, Jia Daishan would use excuses such as "involuntary control" and "we'll talk about it another day".Jia Fang looked at his words and thought that Jia Daishan really didn't know.

But today when Uncle Jia Daihua came to see him, he seemed to want to tell him something.

Jia Fang immediately became excited and asked Jia Daihua: "Uncle, what are the 'new learning' of King Qing?"

"There are many, for example, the practical application of the world, and for example, the knowledge of things..."

Jia Fang knew that it was originally a point of view put forward by great Confucians such as Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu at the turn of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This period of history happened to be directly "overheaded" in the world of "Red Mansions" in front of us.

Although the theory of gewuzhizhi can be traced back to the "Book of Rites", the understanding of "gewuzhizhi" in later generations has been developing. From Zheng Xuan to Zhu Xi, and then to Wang Yangming, the true connotations of these four words are all different. understanding.Even in modern times, during the Westernization Movement, the subjects of physics and chemistry taught in the Westernization School were called "Gezhi", which is the abbreviation of "Gewu Zhizhi".

Could it be... that King Qing really raised the level of theory to the modern level of later generations?

"In addition to 'Xin Xue', King Qing also vigorously promoted the reform of the school and the imperial examination system. He advocated that learning must be beneficial to the state affairs and benefit the country and the people, so he advocated the abolition of most of the classics and meanings in the imperial examinations. He also publicly declared that as long as it is useful to the country, even if it is agriculture and craftsmen’s various craftsmanship, it should be included in the formal imperial examination system, and officials should be awarded accordingly.”

"King Qing's new teachings and reforms caused an uproar at that time, and attracted countless criticisms in the court. But King Qing was not afraid at all. He once debated with several contemporary Confucian scholars in Beijing. He was speechless and vomited blood on the spot... Strange to say, during the ten years he was in power, although there were constant turmoil in the court, many people later felt that those were the best ten years..."

Following his uncle's words, Jia Fang thought back to the past, and immediately admired King Qing in his heart.

He can basically conclude that King Qing's "new ideas" should be somewhat related to the library in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion.King Qing's ability to accept new ideas and use them to promote the progress of the country shows that that person had unparalleled courage.

Of course, if the bookshelf only provides corresponding books according to the user's needs and vision, then each user will be restricted due to his own limitations.For example, people in this time and space would never be able to get books on the history of the development of the nuclear industry—because this does not exist in their cognition.

"However, King Qing's ruling ended 14 years ago, on the day when the emperor was restored." Jia Daihua talked about the past without any taboos, "After that, the new learning and reforms led by King Qing disappeared in smoke, and everything returned In the past..."

"Fang'er, the emperor once lived in Huifang Garden for a year when he was in trouble. After 14 years, he ordered you to rebuild Huifang Garden. Do you understand the meaning behind it?"

Jia Fang: "Uncle, I didn't understand it at all before. But after hearing what you said, I..."

In an instant, countless thoughts came to my mind: So the emperor himself really entrusted him to build this garden?The emperor himself has lived in this garden for a long time, so he also knows the secret of the library in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion?

When King Qing's new learning and reforms gradually disappeared from memory, the emperor handed over this garden to himself. Does this move have a deep meaning?

"The Holy One is a student of King Qing. He has always believed that King Qing's new learning and reforms are closely related to this garden. Part of the reason why King Qing can achieve such achievements is because this is a 'fairy garden' .”

"Xianyuan?" Jia Fang was not completely surprised by this - he seemed to have heard this before.

"The Holy Majesty handed over this abandoned fairy garden to you, naturally believing that in this world, only you can restore this fairy garden to its original state."

It was at this moment that Jia Fang was suddenly shocked. It was only now that he realized that the emperor had chosen him "specially" and believed that there was some kind of necessary connection between him and the various "miracles" in this Grand View Garden.

"Uncle, I want to ask, is the name of King Qing in the past—Xiang Fengyi?" Jia Fang suddenly remembered the name.

When Jia Daihua heard his question, his eyes were serious, and he nodded solemnly: "Indeed, Xiang Fengyi is the name of King Qing himself."

As he spoke, Jia Dai straightened his sleeves, cupped his hands and bowed to Jia Fang, "Fang'er, I beg you to do something. Your nephew Jia Zhen is a failure, and he will definitely not be able to keep the future of Ning Mansion. But if it really comes to that day." For the sake of today's words, please let the Laning Mansion take care of it, and don't let the Ning Mansion... lose too badly."
