Dress to be a celebrity

Huan Ling sat on the lecture table and took a look at the audience first.

Looking down from the high platform, you can see a mass of black turbans spread out into the distance, and you can see the small movements of the students and students at a glance: those who write the topic, discuss with their peers, find someone to copy the content of the lecture just now, drink water, eat fruit Those who have snacks, those who have nothing to do and sit in their seats...

He used to give lectures to Song Shi, and they always sat side by side at the table, with books spread out in front of him, but today was the first time he gave lectures on a high platform, and it felt very fresh.

If you turn around and set up a slightly higher podium in the back office, with a table and chairs under it, let Shi Guan'er study below, and he stares at him to give lectures, but I don't know what it feels like?

Huan Ling was so moved by the thought that he looked away from the group of students, crossed County Magistrate Song and landed on Song Shi who was behind him, wanting to see what he was doing——

He didn't do anything, he was looking up at the stage, looking at him with pride and expectation.

When he passed the Juren Examination, Song Shi looked at him like this, and said to his parents with an air like an elder's comment: "Next spring, brother will definitely be selected as a Jinshi. An upright censor."

It's a pity that he failed to participate in the next year's Spring Festival, and his father passed away due to a sudden illness.Afterwards, his mother also died because of excessive worry, and the uncle of the Song family went to the border to become an official... It was not until so many years later that he saw Song Shi look so proud of him again.

He has to speak better, don't let the previous lecturers suppress him, so that his younger brother can still praise him so proudly to others.

Huan Ling lowered his eyes and smiled, and said loudly: "Today, I am going to talk about Mencius' Chunyu Kun in Li Lou Shangzhong." hand" section.

He talked about Mencius, just like that doctor Zhang, just to give candidates a pre-examination counseling.

Although the Four Books and Five Classics are listed side by side during the exam, the Four Books are the basis for everyone to take the compulsory exam, and the Five Classics are optional. If only one classic is taught, students of other economics subjects will not benefit.So from the beginning of Fang Tixue, the four teachers either taught Neo Confucianism of Zhu Zi's lineage or the Four Books, all of which are knowledge that can be used in the exam.

"Mencius" has seven chapters with a total of more than [-] characters. It is the longest of the four books, so it is also the easiest to write a question. Randomly cutting out a sentence or even a section is a big question—unlike "University" and " "The Doctrine of the Mean", due to too many exams, it has reached the point where all the major exams such as the Provincial Examination and the General Examination have cut-off questions.

And "Chunyu Kun" is a classic sentence, which talks about the truth that scholars should abide by the righteous way, and there is something worthy of examination-even if they don't take the examination, scholars should try their best to figure out and follow the words of Mencius. The ambition of the world.

He started with words: "Chunyu Kun is a debater of the State of Qi..."

Chunyu Kun is another protagonist in the story of King Qi Wei's "Blockbusters", who persuades King Wei to cheer up.Born as a comedian, he is eloquent and eloquent. When Chu conquered Qi, he borrowed troops from Zhao to retreat from Qi.His deeds are recorded in "Historical Records Funny Biographies". In Huan Ling's view, all scholars should know, so when introducing Chunyu Kun's identity, he did not mention his official position in Qi State, but singled out him. The identity of the "debater".

Because he is a debater, he is good at laying traps and cleverly using metaphors to explain his own reasons, so that people are speechless and can only obey his arguments.

In this section, Chunyu Kun first discusses with Mencius two things: "men and women are not intimate when they are given and accepted" and "sister-in-law helps them with their hands".These two incidents seem to be just a dispute over etiquette, but they are actually a debate trap set by Chunyu Kun——

After Mencius said that "men and women are not close to each other, it is etiquette" and "the sister-in-law who drowns and helps her is the right", he pressed Mencius on the word "quan", pointing out that the world was in chaos at that time, the people were like drowning, and Mencius Since the governor is eager to follow the power, he should not stick to the right way, but should give up his attachments like "sister-in-law drowning uncle aid", become an official, and save the people who are drowning in the troubled times.

But Mencius' answer is more powerful: the world is drowning, and only Tao can save it.Sister-in-law drowning can help with only your hands, can you rescue the world from drowning with your hands?

Only "Tao" can save the world.You have to abide by the right way first, and meet a wise king who is willing to listen to advice and rule the country with the right way, so that you can make the king rule with benevolence, practice virtue, and save the people of the world.If in order to save the world, he first abandons the righteous way and goes to cater to the foolish monarch, even if he becomes a high-ranking official and the monarch obeys him, but he himself has lost the instrument to save the world, how can he save the people of the world?

This chapter is to say that you can follow the power when you encounter problems, but scholars must not lose their minds if they keep the right way in their hearts.

He spoke on the stage, and Song Shi copied and praised him offstage, and even wanted to take the lead in applauding to give him an enthusiastic feedback.It's a pity that Da Zheng Chao was not popular at this time, and the audience applauded the teacher on stage. He could only vent his excitement on pen and ink.

What Brother Huan Xiao said was really good.

It’s not good to explain Mencius’s part directly—of course, he explained it well: explain the profound in a simple way, and use the word “dispute” to imply praise and criticism. , ignorant of benevolence, do not seek righteous despicable.

Those who worked on "Spring and Autumn" were able to see their kung fu in small words and righteousness.

But what is better than his teaching level is his deeds.He really followed the words of Mencius, not being tempted by wealth and power, and giving up his insistence on the right way in his heart.

Otherwise, how could he give up his noble official position in the court, give up the benefits of King Zhou and the forces behind him, and leave his family and career to Wuping?

According to the theory of knowledge and action taught by Fang Tixue, he first learned "Mencius", and then practiced it himself to promote knowledge, so he can deeply understand the meaning of Mencius and is qualified to give lectures on stage!

Regardless of whether this explanation is correct or not, it is like this in his heart anyway!

The little senior brother can have such attainments, thanks to his hard work making insecticide to fumigate the yard and creating a good study environment for him.

Song Shi sat under the stage and sighed for a long time, subconsciously turning the pen in his hand, the ink almost splashed all over his body.Huan Ling walked down from the stage to the chairperson in the front row. All the way, he saw him stepping off the stage with bright eyes and a smile. There were people on both sides holding boxes to collect questions around him. He didn't care at all, just looked at Huan Ling.

The eyes of the two intersected in the air, and Song Shi raised the corners of his lips lightly, revealing a kind smile.Huan Ling saw him pretending to be an elder again, it was so familiar and funny, he couldn't help lowering his head slightly to hide the smile on his face.

At this time, County Magistrate Song came to the stage again to arrange for the examiners and students to go back to rest in the next place, and tomorrow they will listen to the four famous teachers answer the questions they received.

Song Shi got up and went out, ordered people to prepare chariots and horses, and took back the four lecturers and several candidates who lived in the city.The sons got off the car halfway and lived in the villa of Zhao Shusheng's house, while several officials and Zhishi officials went directly to the Fu Hotel, accompanied by the father and son of the county magistrate, and had an equally sumptuous dinner at the Fu Hotel.

After the meal, County Magistrate Song couldn't bear it any longer, so he apologized and withdrew first: Fang Tixue and the two old gentlemen who had been in office for many years watched the questions submitted by everyone under the lamp for a while, and they didn't feel sleepy, so they went back separately rest.On the contrary, Huan Ling was young and energetic, and he led his junior and junior brothers to sort out the problems by lighting candles, and they were still not tired until late at night.

The courtyard is full of Puai fragrance, and there is no sound of insects.

Others might think that they got more pulongaihu to hang for the Duanyang Festival, but Huan Ling knew very well that this must be Song Shi's handwriting - he would rather be scented with herbs than kill insects and mosquitoes of.

When he was young, he was not used to smelling too strong medicinal fragrance, but after a few years, he is not afraid of this fragrance anymore.

Huan Ling opened the window a little, allowing the fragrance and cool breeze to come in, relieving the heat in the hall.The moonlight was faint outside the courtyard, lanterns were hanging down the porch, and the candlelight reflected the flowers and trees in the courtyard, covering the flowers and plants with a layer of hazy gauze, which reminded people of the line in Po Xian's Begonia poem "I'm afraid that the flowers will fall asleep late at night, So burn high candles to illuminate the red makeup."

He sent it out of feeling and chanted it casually.

Song Shi flipped through the titles and listened to his poems, so he raised his head and asked, "Brother, don't you want to go to the courtyard to enjoy the flowers? Although there are no crabapples at this time, there are also pomegranates and roses. Let's go out with candles to enjoy them." Reward? It's a pity that the epiphyllum in this courtyard is newly planted and cannot bloom this year, otherwise it would be a blessing to see the epiphyllum bloom at night."

Huan Ling saw that he put aside the topic to get the candlestick, and he really looked like he was about to go out to enjoy the flowers, so he quickly raised his hand to stop him: "Aren't there candles in the corridor? I just watched those lanterns shining on the garden flowers and felt, so I chanted casually." It's just a sentence. What's more, if you want to see flowers, it's enough to look at them in the house, you don't need to go out."

Only then did Song Shi put down the candles, looked at the lights in the corridor and said, "Brother is so kind to entertain. There are no potted flowers in the room this evening, and there is no red sleeve to add fragrance to accompany us to study at night. There are only so many handed-in questions. ..."

Candlelight gathered in those eyes, brighter and more lustrous than in the daytime, Huan Ling couldn't help but look a few more times, and then looked at the candlelight - it's just an ordinary candle, so what's the point?But for some reason, the swaying flames looked even more beautiful in his eyes.

He replied subconsciously: "There is no need for red sleeves to add fragrance, it is good for the two of us to study like this."

Song Shi joked casually: "If you really want to, you will make it difficult for me. My father and my aunt have gone to bed early in the middle of the night, and I have nowhere to lend you a girl."

Huan Ling woke him up with a single sentence, quickly averted his eyes, and changed the subject abruptly: "This table is full of topics, and there are people walking around to get things on the table, and you have to worry about her getting dirty or touching the table." After losing the question paper, it's better for the two of them to be quiet...

"By the way, I was just about to tell you that I won't pick yours when I choose the topic..."

Song Shizheng lowered his head to look at the question, but when he heard this, he only raised his eyelids to look at him, and said with a mocking smile: "I said, what did my senior brother think when he just looked at me and didn't speak? I’m ashamed, I can’t say it.”

He laughed a few times, seeing that Huan Ling was really embarrassed, he was embarrassed to tease him, and said thoughtfully: "I didn't want you to pick my topic, and I didn't vote when the question paper was collected from the audience. Can I still not understand what you mean, senior brother, if I want to ask you a question, I can ask it at any time, so why take up other students' time?"

Exactly.Huan Ling nodded heavily: "How can our brothers and sisters be like outsiders? There are too many people now, and it is not convenient to give you a lecture alone. Master Fang will also give you a few pointers."

Can I still invite Teacher Fang?Although Teacher Fang also valued him before, he still treated him as the same as other students, and never thought of giving him a small treatment alone. Now Huan Ling must have won this treatment for him!

Needless to say, little senior brother is really interesting!After the meeting is over, he has to show some real skills and cook some modern delicacies for the little brother!

But this is a surprise and cannot be said in advance.

Song Shi was thinking about it, and his subordinates began to turn over the questions again, sorting the questions like poker cards, sorting the same, similar, and covering topics together, and separating the remaining scattered questions according to difficulty and problems.Among the questions posed by the students in the audience, there are actually quite a few repetitions.Some are intentionally repetitive, and some are original texts that are difficult to understand without a good teacher. After sorting them out, the four lecturers can easily select the questions that most need to be answered.

The two sorted out the questions almost, and went to check the question box again, afraid that there were some questions that were left behind.

They were all classified clearly, checked without any danger, and it was already past midnight when they could rest.Song Shi was afraid that there would be another commotion when he returned to the Yamen at this time, so he simply stayed in the hotel, pulled off the thin quilt in his room, climbed onto the Luohan bed under the north window, and fell asleep.

He had just laid down and hadn't warmed up the quilt when suddenly a pair of hands passed through his neck and the hollows of his legs, and he was hugged up suddenly.

Um?Uh-huh?What are you doing in the middle of the night so scary! !
