Chapter 19 The Tree by the Inkstone Washing Pond in My House Blooms with Light Ink Marks

A gentleman is like jade, warm and lustrous.

Li Changqing took Jun Ziyu, which was delicate, warm and radiant.

When Li Changqing read "Born in Sorrow, Die in Peace" at night in Guoditang to arouse Confucianism, he completed it in a state of ignorance. After asking Yan Hui for advice, he only had a preliminary understanding.

Li Changqing didn't know what to do for a while, Yan Hui looked at Li Changqing and smiled without saying a word.

Thinking of the online novels I read in my idle life, the characters in it all use their minds to control their power.

Li Changqing concentrated all his energy in his hands, but Jun Ziyu still didn't respond at all!
Li Changqing's heart had already begun to fluctuate, and he even suspected that he hadn't fully comprehended the six books, so he couldn't arouse Haoran's righteousness and light up Junziyu!
At this time, the admonition in "Proverbs Lian Bi" echoed in my ears, "The more urgent things should be slowed down, the most important things should be more peaceful, and the most difficult things should be careless." When dealing with major and urgent things, the more important the mentality is peace!
Li Changqing put aside the distracting thoughts in his mind, instead of thinking about how to arouse the righteousness to light up Junziyu, he just silently read the sentences in the six books and visualized the profound meanings in them.

With Li Changqing as the center, an invisible temperament is slowly condensed, which looks calm, open, gentle, quiet and natural.

The gentleman jade in his hand finally changed, from dim to yellowish, and finally glowing milky white like Yan Hui.

"Congratulations, brother Li. After reading the six books of Mengxue, you can light up the Junziyu, which is considered an introduction!" Yan Hui congratulated with a smile.

"Thanks to Brother Yan for your guidance, I finally took the first step in the Long March!" Li Changqing saluted Yan Hui.

"Between the same family, you are welcome! A gentleman has no reason, and jade never leaves his body. This piece of gentleman jade should be regarded as a gift for brother Li to complete his education!" Yan Hui pointed to the gentleman jade in Li Changqing's hand.

"The elder dare not resign, so I will accept it!" Li Changqing said without pretentiousness.

"You happen to be in the 'qi-raising state' right now. Junziyu helps to cultivate your body and nourish your qi, so it should be helpful to you!" Yan Hui said with a smile.

"Brother Yan, what do you mean by the 'qi-nourishing state' just now!" Li Changqing asked after hearing the key point.

"We Confucians read the books of sages and sages to cultivate righteousness, and being able to condense righteousness in the body is the so-called 'qi-nourishing state'."

"Then what about after Qi Cultivation Realm?"

"After nourishing qi, it is called a sea of ​​learning, and arouse the noble and righteous energy to open up a sea of ​​learning in Meixin Nigongwan."

"After learning the sea?"

"The sea of ​​learning is boundless and hard work. If you build a literary palace in the sea of ​​learning, you will enter the room!" Yan Hui said.

"Been taught a lesson!"

Li Changqing was very grateful to Yan Hui for pointing out the direction of the new world, and respectfully saluted Yan Hui as a teacher.

"Brother Li, I'm just teaching on behalf of my teacher, so I don't need to perform such a big gift!" Yan avoided it and refused to accept it.

"Brother Yan, what book should I read next?" Li Changqing asked without further hesitation.

"Haha, brother Li, don't worry! Junziyu is a gift from me, and you will be rewarded for completing the homework assigned by the teacher!",
"Uh, there are rewards?"

"Well, did you see that bamboo forest?"

"Saw!"

Li Changqing followed the direction Yan Hui pointed and found a bamboo forest behind the Saints' Court.

"Confucianism not only needs to master the four books and five classics, but also the six arts of rites, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics. Books are especially important."

"Books... there should be no doctors with good handwriting!" Li Changqing joked.

"Hehe, the teacher is also aware of this point. So I ask you not only to study the Four Books in the future, but also to practice calligraphy and painting!" Yan Hui also laughed.

"Is practicing calligraphy and painting related to my reward?"

"Every bamboo in the bamboo forest is hung with precious works and experiences of many calligraphers and painters from ancient times to the present. There is a pool beside the bamboo forest. There are several white plums planted beside the pool. You must go there every day to practice calligraphy and painting. !"

"It seems that this is not only a reward, but also a homework assigned by the teacher!" Li Changqing said.

That bamboo forest is undoubtedly a huge treasure for anyone who loves calligraphy and painting.

"Haha, yes! When the pool water turns black and the white plums turn ink, it's time for you to complete the mission!" Yan Hui laughed.

"The tree beside the inkstone washing pond in my house is blooming with light ink marks! If I were in the past, I would definitely doubt that this is really a reward? However, it is indeed the best reward for me now!", Li Changqing also laughed road.

"Brother Li, there are also the four books "The Analects", "Mencius", "University" and "The Doctrine of the Mean" presented by the teacher. I hope you will study hard after you go back!" Yan Hui took out four more books and said to Li Changqing.

"I will live up to the teacher's high expectations!" Li Changqing took the book and bowed towards the direction of the Saint's Academy with his hands in his hands.

Having said all that, Li Changqing has four more books thicker than dictionaries in his backpack, and there is a long way to go!
Li Changqing didn't know how long he had been in the "Hundred Schools of Philosophy", but the time must not be short.

After leaving the 'Zhuzi Baijia', the tea Li Changqing put on the table was still steaming, which shows that the time in Zhuzi Baijia is much slower than the reality.

However, the task issued by Xu Xing' to reclaim a hundred acres of vegetable land with a hoe within half a month' only had two days left, and Li Changqing had about two football fields left to complete.

Time was extremely tight. In the next two days, Li Changqing not only reclaimed wasteland during the day, but also worked under the moonlight at night. During this period, he also took advantage of his free time to read books, memorize "Song of Soup", and copy calligraphy and practice painting by the inkstone pool.

It was an arduous task to reclaim a hundred acres of vegetable fields with a hoe within half a month, but Li Changqing used the sound of books to make bgm and completed it before the sun set on the last day.

Looking down from the top of Zhongnan Mountain, it is very conspicuous that patches of earthy vegetable fields are surrounded by lush forests.

For such a huge project, without the power of books, Li Changqing couldn't imagine how he could persevere.

Li Changqing lay flat in the vegetable field he had reclaimed, feeling the moisture of the soil on his back, grabbed a handful of black soil with the palm of his hand and put it on the tip of his nose, smelling the fragrance of the soil deeply, and then sprinkled the soil on himself, No fear of getting your clothes dirty.

Suddenly, Li Changqing was very moved. It is in this kind of land that farmers grow all kinds of grains, fruits and vegetables, but since ancient times, there have been many people who "people at the time did not know the hardships of the farmers, and they would say that the fields are self-sustaining".

Entering the 'Hundred Schools of Philosophy', Xu Xing stood in Shennongxuan and waved to Li Changqing enthusiastically.

"Good job, little brother! Although you have now contracted ten thousand acres of wasteland and cultivated a hundred acres of vegetable fields, this is just the basic preparation work!" Xu Xing patted Li Changqing's shoulder and smiled.

"Is it time to grow vegetables next?"

　Thank you for your rewards. I came back late from overtime work yesterday, and only updated one chapter. I am ashamed of everyone!In the future, try not to have this happen!
