Prime Minister

Chapter 29
The dense autumn rain is another night.

When going up the mountain in the morning, the ground was slippery. Guo Lin stayed up late yesterday to read too late, slipped accidentally, and almost fell into the mountain stream. Fortunately, Zhang Yue quickly grabbed it with his hands.

"Senior brother, if I wear hemp shoes up the mountain like this, I won't be afraid of slipping." Zhang Yue said together with the cake.

Guo Lin poured water into a bamboo tube to wash his hands and said, "Hemp shoes are only worn by farmers. Although you and I are helping people with books, the decency of scholars should still be maintained."

Zhang Yue sneered in the bottom of his heart, and he gave books to others, what is there to be respectable about?I'm just an unfeeling migrant worker now.

When the words came to his lips, Zhang Yue said, "What senior brother said is very true."

Guo Lin smiled and said, "Let's go, go up the mountain!"

Green stone moss grows on the mountain road after the rain. When walking, you can touch the drooping tree bar by lowering your head a little, shaking off the rain.However, Zhang Yue really liked the feeling of walking in the mountains after the rain. The mountain wind was cold, but the fragrance of grass and trees came to the tip of his nose.

Guo Lin felt that the rain was bitter, but Zhang Yue felt happy.

Zhang Yue was wearing a bamboo hat and hat, but he walked faster after abandoning the bamboo stick. A cloud of mist and rain will serve my whole life."

Guo Lin followed behind Zhang Yue and said, "Junior and younger brother's words are very good. Hearing the words seems to be a storm.Just why there is no second half, is it not done well.

In fact, Zhang Yue, who was half a fan of Su Shi in his last life, remembers a lot of his old man's poems.However, when he traveled to the same era as Su Shi, Zhang Yue couldn't help but think, if he copied all of Su Shi's poems by himself, would he be able to become a saint in the literary world, and he would have nothing to do with him in the future.

But when I think about it carefully, Zhang Yue still thinks it's okay. The ancients wrote poems according to the time and place. They didn't have so many feelings. Suddenly a sentence came out, which was very inappropriate.

For example, "Eating [-] lychees a day, never resigning yourself to be a native of Lingnan", this poem is not very good, but it is very popular because it was written by Su Shi when he was demoted to Guangdong.

At that time, Su Shi was nearly [-] years old, and it was very difficult for him to go back alive when he was demoted in the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the officials who were demoted to this place made most of the words of grief, but Su Shi's song can be called optimistic and open-minded.Similar to what Zhang Yue chanted earlier, the people on the street were struggling to avoid the rain, but Su Shi was wearing a mink robe and hat, and rushed forward very heroically.

So even if Zhang Yue wrote 'eat [-] lychees a day, be a Lingnan native', it would be useless.

But then again, who was the person who demoted Su Shi to Lingnan to eat lychees?

While thinking about it, the two of them have arrived at Nanfeng Courtyard.

Zhang Yue and Guo Lin arrived at the door of the pavilion, and the two took off their mino coats and hats and hung them by the school warehouse.

The ministry had already built a brazier in the hut next to the pavilion door, and there was a little girl of five or six years old beside her, holding a bag of chestnuts in her hand, and sat quietly nibbling on the chestnuts.

As soon as the ministry saw Zhang Yue, he said to his granddaughter, "This person is very good at counting, and he just came to teach you how to count."

The little girl glanced at Zhang Yue, shook her head and said, "I don't study."

"Okay, my granddaughter says she won't learn if she doesn't want to study," the minister said with a smile on his face, stood up and said to Zhang Yue with a stern face, "When I go to teach, you will take good care of my granddaughter and teach her again by the way. Count the numbers."

My dignified science monk actually asked me to teach a little girl to count?Take me as free labor.

"Wrap it on me, slow down the ministry!"

The minister nodded and left with his hands behind. Zhang Yue turned his head to look at the little girl.

The little girl didn't seem to see Zhang Yue and continued to eat her chestnuts.Sitting on the high chair, she swayed with her feet, and after biting a chestnut skin, she spit out a 'poof'!
Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Sister... No, what's your name?"

The little girl shook her head.

Zhang Yue gets too caught up and finds that people ignore you.

"Ah, your name is I don't know! Then I don't know, let's learn to count!"

"I'm not called I don't know." The little girl said in a milky voice.

Zhang Yue continued: "I don't know, we have to learn to count, do you know how to count?"

"I don't know."

Zhang Yue said, "I'll teach you! Do you know how many chestnuts are in the bag?"

The little girl immediately counted: "I know, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, seven."

Zhang Yue nodded and smiled, "I don't know if it's right at all."

"Then how many do we pick up? Seven minus one?"

The little girl shook her head, Zhang Yue smiled, and immediately took one from the little girl's bag and said, "Count how many are left now?"

Zhang Yue said while peeling a chestnut and eating it.

Mmmm, so delicious.

The little girl burst into tears when she saw Zhang Yue's hands.

The little girl's voice was so loud that Zhang Yue panicked immediately. Guo Lin also came over and said, "Junior Brother, you are so shameless, you even steal the little girl's things."

"Senior brother, you are very strange," Zhang Yue turned to the little girl and said, "I don't know why you are crying?"

"You eat... eat my chestnuts. I have no more chestnuts."

"Why not," Zhang Yue said quickly, "count the chestnuts in the bag to see if there are still seven chestnuts, count them quickly."

Hearing the words, the little girl stopped her tears, counted in the bag, and cried with a wow: "It wasn't seven, it was seven just now, and now it is six."

"Isn't this counting right? I ate one of the seven originally, and there are six left. Seven minus one makes six" Zhang Yue heaved a sigh of relief, his method of entertaining and entertaining was really so amazing.

The little girl shook her head and said, "I don't learn to count, I just want chestnuts, I want seven chestnuts."

The little girl was unrelenting, and seeing that she was about to cry again, Zhang Yue said anxiously and wisely: "Don't you want seven chestnuts? Brother, I will make it for you."

"How?" The little girl looked at Zhang Yue with bright red eyes.

But Zhang Yue took another chestnut and broke it in half and put it in the bag and asked, "If you count it again, does it become seven again?"

The little girl was stunned for a while, then cried again, "You're playing with me!"

The little girl's cry came out again, and Guo Lin hurriedly said, "Junior brother, what's your bad idea? Hurry up, wait for someone else to come over and ask. If it reaches the ears of the ministry, you and I will both be embarrassed."

Zhang Yue reached out and pointed at Guo Linyi when he heard the words: "I don't know, can you see this big brother lay down and ride it as a big horse for you?"

"I can't, I can't." Guo Lin hurriedly shook his head.

……

There was a series of giggles in the library.The crisp childish voice of the little girl spread far and wide.

"Junior Brother, I'm tired, let's replace you!" Guo Lin said breathlessly.

"No, I'm not as tall as you. I don't know, it's better for big brother to ride comfortably!"

"Comfortable."

"Do you like big brother to ride a horse for you?"

"I like my big brother riding a horse for me."

"Brother, look..."

……

Not long after, the ministry came to the bookstore, but saw his granddaughter playing with the Zhang Yue with a smile.

Seeing the smile on the face of this ministry, he didn't expect that his granddaughter, who didn't care about anyone, would be able to play with Zhang Yue, and thought that Zhang Yue would be in a hurry.

This scene was really unexpected.

"This young man is really rare." The ministry thought in a trance.

"Grandpa, grandpa!" The little girl ran to the side of the ministry.

Ha ha!

The ministry let out a long series of laughter, and said to Zhang Yue, "The boy has some ability."

Zhang Yue accompanies the laugh, is it easy for him to do his best to please the little girl?

"Don't dare to be, she's the one who is well-behaved. Let's come back tomorrow, shall we?"

"Okay!" The little girl giggled again.Guo Lin, who was copying the book by the side, was extremely pale when he heard the words.

"Hehe, how can you delay your work..." Although the ministry said so, but he had already made up his mind to come back tomorrow.

In addition to copying books, Zhang Yue and Guo Lin had to sit bored in the library on weekdays, but they only went out when they sent the articles to the school records.

On this day, Zhang Yue sent the article to Xuejian and passed by the side of Zhoujintang.There are five halls in the morning, and two small halls facing the north are used as study rooms. The front of the hall is covered with a gauze-like curtain.When Zhang Yue passed by the corridor, he was watching the students of ethnic studies sitting on the floor in the hall one by one, teaching the meaning of the scriptures.

Zhang Yue couldn't understand what the professor said on weekdays.

On this day, the professor happened to be talking about the Book of Changes, and Zhang Yue couldn't help but stop and listen.

"The Zhouyi I have learned is one of the three changes. There were Lianshanyi and Guizangyi before, but Lianshan and Guizang have been lost so far, and only Zhouyi has survived."

"The Book of Changes is not taught by my Confucian family. Taoism, Mohism, and Xuan have all been passed down. Recently, some Confucianists have explained it with Taiji Yinyang River illustrations, but our school still interprets hexagrams with humanism. The 64 hexagrams of Zhouyi are The 64 elephants refer to the 64 changes in human nature, for example, the two hexagrams of Qian and Kun say that they are monarchs, ministers, fathers and sons."

Zhang Yue couldn't help but be fascinated when he heard it, and what he realized was really thought of by the ancients and summed up the rules.

"In the 64 hexagrams, two pairs of each other are yin and yang, and the miscellaneous hexagrams sing 'Qian Gang Kun soft, more worrying than musicians. The meaning of facing and observing, or seeking or seeking. Seeing without losing its place, writing in confusion..."

When Zhang Yue heard what the Master said, his eyes suddenly brightened.

That's right, in the 64 hexagrams of Zhouyi, two pairs of each other are yin and yang, such as Qian hexagrams to Kun hexagrams, Bi hexagrams to Shi hexagrams, Tun hexagrams to Meng hexagrams...

If you really understand more, it will not be as useful as a few words on demand.

"But the miscellaneous hexagrams can't be supplemented. Our entry is still based on the sequence hexagrams, starting with Qiankun and ending with the unfinished. Therefore, yang lines are nine, meaning yang can encompass yin, and yin lines are six, meaning yin cannot be combined with yang..."

A gust of wind blew, and the leaves of several laurel trees in the courtyard made noises, and ripples appeared on the central inkstone pond. Several birds were jumping or pecking at the window paper.

Zhang Yue was fascinated by what he heard, and he couldn't help but be fascinated by the way of his heart. If I could listen to the Master teach the Yi Dao, I would definitely be more than ten times better than these students, but it's a pity...

When Zhang Yue thought of this, he found that the voice was getting closer and closer. When he looked up, Zhang Heng, the head of the veterinarian, stood in front of him with a scroll in his right hand and shouted.

"What are you doing here?"
