Summer in June is Xun Yue's 20th birthday.There was a thunderstorm this morning, the temperature dropped, and there was sunshine again. It can be said to be a rare good weather.

Xun Yue first offered sacrifices to his ancestors, then changed to Yuan clothes, and was crowned three times in front of his father's tablet by famous scholars such as Chen Shi, and took the word Zhongyu. The first stage of etiquette was considered to be over.The next step is to visit uncles, brothers, guests and celebrities in turn.

Xun Yue was an orphan of the eldest son, good-looking and stable, and was highly regarded by his uncles, so the banquet in front of the sacrificial hall was grand, and all the famous families in Yingchuan were present.In addition to the local celebrities in Yingchuan, there are also old people from the Xun family who came here from other places.There is also a great Confucian who happened to meet him, Zheng Xuan.

Zheng Xuan was born in a poor family.None of the fathers and grandparents took up official duties, so when Zheng Xuan arrived, he had to go to the fields to do farm work himself.But fortunately, there are still some books left by his ancestors, and Zheng Xuan, who is eager to learn, began his legendary journey to become a master.He was able to read the "Five Classics" by the age of twelve or thirteen, mastered the alchemy of divination, and was a famous child prodigy.Zheng Xuan was not satisfied with the status quo, and went to the local government school to borrow books and asked questions. By the time he was in his early 20s, he had already read a lot of books, wrote good articles, and was especially proficient in arithmetic.

His knowledge is so good that he finally alarmed the bigwigs at the provincial level.As a result, Zheng Xuan was recommended to enter Taixue for further studies, and became an unusual number among the many descendants of Taixue's descendants of officials - born from a poor family.In the next 20 years, Zheng Xuan traveled around to study and learn from teachers, and traveled half of the country. He really learned from others.

This year, he announced his graduation from the great scholar Ma Rong and returned to his hometown.Although he has no official and no money, but along the way, people come to follow him admiringly.When Zheng Xuan officially opens the door to teach, it is estimated that the number of disciples will be thousands.

Even Xun Shuang had to admit that he had lost three chips for a top academic figure.

Zheng Xuan's visit undoubtedly brought honor to the Xun family a lot.After the ceremony was over, Xun Shuang personally entertained him on the water pavilion.Both parties have studied divination and the Five Classics, and they have been friends for a long time, so it is inevitable to discuss knowledge when they meet.Zheng Xuanzheng planned to re-edit the scriptures and history, so he took out the draft and asked Xun Shuang to comment. Before he knew it, it was dark, so he stayed at Xun's house and continued the discussion the next day.

After three days like this, Zheng Xuan began to talk about divination again.

"A month ago, I was doing astronomy calculations by the Luoshui River. I met a beautiful young girl in Tsing Yi, holding a charcoal pencil and white wood. The calculations were fluent, without counting chips, and I was able to solve them several times faster. I asked her Could it be the God of Hetu? She laughed and said that there are no gods in the world, and her teacher is Lord Ciming of Yingchuan."

Xun Shuang sighed: "This is Cao Sheng, who has been away from me for three months. From Kang Cheng's description, his appearance is even more outstanding."

Zheng Xuan said in shock: "It turned out to be a real mortal. I thought it was an excuse. Before she left, she told me that there would be solar eclipses at Dingwei in May and Jiachen in October. Half of the fulfillment in May has been fulfilled. Although the solar eclipse has been calculated since ancient times There are people who try, but they can say it straight, even Liu Hong, who claims to be a saint, can't do it. Does Ciming have such knowledge?"

"Cao Sheng's arithmetic is as natural as it is, and I didn't teach it. I just used "Yi" to introduce her to her, and told her astronomy and calendar." Xun Shuang quickly declined, "She is good at piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting. He is not good at parallel prose and poetry, but he is extremely proficient in arithmetic, and once boasted that the world, the sun, the moon, thunder, lightning, and wind and rain are all things that cannot be counted."

As soon as Zheng Xuan slapped his thigh, the painting style of apprenticeship and madness suddenly came up: "I am willing to exchange the classics of hundreds of schools for her knowledge!"

Xun Shuang sighed again, and showed Zheng Xuan the homework left by Cao Sheng: "It's a pity that such a talented person is a girl. I believe she can achieve something, but she is destined to have a harder time."

Zheng Xuan also sighed, almost impulsively turned back to Luo Yang to learn from his teacher.If the old servant hadn't held him firmly and told him to pay attention to his reputation, Zheng Xuan might not be willing to go to his hometown.

Zheng Xuan's hometown is Beihai, Qingzhou.But his family is poor, and there is no place to stand in a populous country like Beihai with serious land annexation.Zheng Xuan didn't want to owe favors to others, so he planned to go to the relatively barren Donglai to open up wasteland and farm.Farming and reading farming and reading are also cultivating sentiment.

I have to say, this is a wonderful fate.

Many years later, when Zheng Xuan recalled it, he felt that Donglai, the place for farming and studying, was so terribly spiritually chosen.
