Coincidentally!My name is Liu Bian

Chapter 211 Meeting Zheng Xuan After School Begins
Seeing the middle-aged scribe leave, Liu Bian pursed his lips and had a lot of questions to ask, such as whether the second quarter of Maozheng was too early and what to do if he overslept; and if he needed to bring paper and pen, what should he do? Taking notes and the like - didn't he think there would be pens, ink, paper and inkstones in the school?

"...Junior Brother He? Junior Brother He?"

Sun Zhu's call sounded in his ears.

He blinked, looked at Sun Zhu, then looked at Zhou Yu, and said to Sun Zhu, "What's wrong?"

"Didn't you say you were hungry?" Sun Zhu said with a smile, "Come on, shall we go to the dining room?"

"Go, of course." He decisively put aside his distracting thoughts: The sky is big, the earth is big, and the food is the biggest!Nothing is more important than filling your belly... "Let's go?" he said.

Then, he, Sun Zhu and Zhou Yu went to the dining room.

Fortunately, this time it was Sun Zhu who paid for the treat, so Liu Bian saved another sum of money.

During this period, Zhou Yu also wrote "Zou Zi".He was so happy chatting with Sun Zhu and Zhou Yu that he almost forgot about whether Xun Yu and others wanted to have lunch.

After the meal, he also made an agreement with Sun Zhu and Zhou Yu: If they go to school in the morning from now on, they must go together.

In this way, they can take care of each other.

With crooked eyes, Liu Bian felt... if he put more effort, could he be able to "be sworn brothers" with Sun Zhu and Zhou Yu like Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei?

To be honest, he really admires Sun Zhu and Zhou Yu, and does not object to becoming brothers with different surnames.

He invited Sun Zhu and Zhou Yu to go to the Shuge to help copy books, and Sun Zhu and Zhou Yu also agreed.

So, when Xun Yu and others in the library were so hungry that their chests pressed against their backs, Xun Yu and others finally saw His Highness... and walked in while chatting and laughing with two other barely familiar teenagers.

His Highness first returned the book "Zou Zi" to the bookstore, then found "Historical Records" and "Han Shu", and asked the other party for a favor...

Sun Zhu stared at the thick "Historical Records" and "Han Shu", and could hardly believe that Brother Zhou would lightly agree to Junior Brother He's request - copy the books!Gritting his teeth, Sun Zhu said: "Brother Zhou, please wake up!"

Zhou Yu whispered: "Brother, I am very sober. I remember that I want to help Junior Brother He copy the "Han Shu", and the "Han Shu" has nearly 80 words... Look how good I am, I only let you copy 50 words." Ten thousand words of "Historical Records"!"

"Is that the point?" Sun Zhu was frantic, "Copying a million words of a book, can it be completed in half a month? Don't kid me!"

"Don't worry, brother, I will urge you to finish copying." Zhou Yu assured himself as if he didn't understand Sun Zhu's words.

Sun Zhu opened his mouth, then closed it, but in the end he held the "Book of Han" in his hand, ran to the "bookstore administrator", and simply borrowed the book and registered it.At the end, Sun Zhu did not forget to say:
"I took him back to the dormitory and copied it!"

After hearing this, Zhou Yu said happily: "Brother is indeed an elder brother, he treats people so well!"

Liu Bian echoed with a smile: "Yes! Senior Brother Sun is so good!"

On the surface, he dislikes it, but in fact he accepts it; he doesn’t want to copy it, but he still copies it for him, and what he copies is still the "Book of Han"!
"Senior Brother Zhou, will you come to the bookstore again in the future?" Liu Bian asked in a low voice.

Zhou Yu said: "Not necessarily. Anyway, you know where my brother and I live, don't you?"

"Understood." Liu Bian nodded, "I'll go find you two before class starts tomorrow?"

"Alright." Zhou Yu waved to Liu Bian, holding the heavy bamboo slips of "Historical Records", and went to borrow books.

Watching Sun Zhu and Zhou Yu leave the library with the big bamboo slips in their arms, Liu Bian breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, faced the crowd, and picked out a copy of the "Huangdi Neijing", making a show of copying it... Suddenly, the "Huangdi Neijing" was held by a small hand and taken away, but Liu Bian was stunned with empty hands.

The person who took away the "Huangdi Neijing" was Cao Ang.

"Xiao Cao?" Liu Bian exclaimed.

Cao Ang said: "Master Bian, you cannot copy."

Ok?
What do you mean by that?

Liu Bian turned his face sideways, looked at Cao Ang, and wondered, "Why?"

Cao Ang said: "You are not allowed to leave your handwriting outside. What if someone imitates your handwriting?" "

The corner of his mouth twitched, and Liu Bian said, "If you don't copy books, what should I do?"

"Read a book!" Cao Ang said firmly.

Liu Bian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he read obediently.

Seeing Liu Bian flipping through the book quietly, everyone did not dare to express their anger, and the speed of copying the book actually accelerated.

It's a pity that the continuous gurgling stomach sounds are really out of style, isn't it?

"Are you hungry?" Liu Bian raised his head and sighed that he couldn't avoid the expenses.

"Master Bian, please allow us to rest for a while and recover our strength." At this time, Xun Yu spoke.To be honest, after copying books all morning, everyone's arms... were quite sore.

Liu Bian didn't think much and said, "Okay."

After that, Xun Yu put down his pen and paper and took everyone away, except He Xian.

Only then did Liu Bian react: Huh?You want to eat? ——Do you have money to eat?
He looked at He Xian and asked, "He Xian, won't you follow?"

He Xian put down his pen and paper, as if he had been here all along and had not left at all, and said respectfully: "I'm not hungry, I want to finish copying "Baopuzi"... By the way, Sir, you don't have to worry about Mr. Wen Ruo and others! Eat! Mr. Wenruo can still afford the money."

He Xian reminded vaguely.

Liu Bian squinted his eyes and realized something for no reason: it was true that he brought [-] yuan, but there was no requirement that Xun Yu and others who wanted to study had to have both their sleeves and the wind in their sleeves? ——You dare to fall in love with more than one person, and all of them have hidden their private money?

Lowering his voice, Liu Bian said: "Tell me honestly, apart from the fifty thousand I brought, did you bring any money?"

He Xian said vaguely: "Yes, yes..."

"How many?" he asked.

He Xian pursed his lips and didn't answer.

Liu Bian stared at He Xian steadily, but He Xian lowered his head and did not look at Liu Bian.

So, Liu Bian...Liu Bian didn't know how much money He Xian and even everyone brought.

But he can be sure: everyone... everyone has money, so there is no need to worry about food and clothing.

——Including Zhuge Liang?
He looked slightly dazed: Zhuge Liang is only eight years old?Also carrying huge sums of money?
As if he knew what he was thinking, He Xian whispered: "Children have no money."

The implication: Zhuge Liang, Cao Ang, Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, and perhaps Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan, all did not bring any money?
"I understand." Liu Bian nodded and glanced at what He Xian had written, "Is what I want to complete today a "Taoist work"? "

"More than that." He Xian wrote one stroke at a time, seeming to be making progress, "Today Mr. Wen Ruo asked us to copy the Tao Te Ching, the Nan Hua Jing, the Chongxu Jing, the Seven Skills of Yin Fu, and the "Bao Puzi", "Tai Shang Laojun Speaks of Chang Jing Sutra", "Zou Zi's Ending", "Shang Jun Shu", "Han Feizi", "Mozi"..."

Liu Bian's eyes sparkled as he listened with admiration as He Xian reported a series of book titles.

It seems that the day when He Xian can speak out is just around the corner?

Those who read read and those who copied copied. He and He Xian became quiet.

After that, Xun Yu and others returned and were busy again.

Even if the academy officially opens tomorrow, it will not interrupt everyone's enthusiasm for copying books.

The day flies by.

In the evening, after Liu Bian and his party returned to "Dashe No. [-]", Liu Bian announced: "Everyone, the academy will start tomorrow. Have you received the notice?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, but said in unison: "Got it!"

Liu Bian said: "Well, rest early today and get up early tomorrow. Don't be late."

He had made an agreement with Sun Zhu and Zhou Yu, but he had no intention of going with Xun Yu and others.

After clapping his hands, Liu Bian motioned for everyone to move freely.

Liu Bian returned to his dormitory and got into bed early, looking forward to tomorrow.

But Xun Yu and others continued to practice copying for most of the night...

The next day, just after dawn, Liu Bian woke up, washed and changed his clothes seriously, and then walked out of the dormitory.As always, He Xian, as a book boy, was by his side.

"Let's go!" Liu Bian said.Liu Bian took He Xian out of the house.

——Zhuge Liang is one step too late!
Seeing Liu Bian and He Xian leaving, Zhuge Liang jumped into the air, Zhuge Liang said angrily:
"Your Highness walked too fast!"

Later, Xu Shu came over, heard Zhuge Liang's complaint, and said slowly: "It's Mr. Bian, not His Highness. Be careful that His Highness will be dissatisfied again after hearing this."

Zhuge Liang pursed his lips and changed his words: "——Brother Bian went too far! With a new love, forget the old love!"

Xu Shu's head was full of black lines, and he had a feeling that the little guy had been using words randomly recently.Taking a deep breath, Xu Shu said: "Don't use these words indiscriminately in the future! It's okay for me to listen to you. If others listen, I'm not afraid of laughing at you."

"What's the joke?" Xun Yu's voice sounded.

Xu Shu was stunned, looked at Xun Yu, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect Mr. Wen Ruo to get up early too."

"After all, school has started, and you have to leave an impression on the teacher, right?" Xun Yu said good-naturedly, "The others probably couldn't sleep either. They all wanted to see if today's teacher would be Mr. Zheng Xuan."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Ang and others opened the door one after another.

Cao Ang said: "Sir, you are overthinking. I only care about whether you will take us for breakfast."

Xun Yu laughed, but said generously: "Anyway, you will have something to eat."

Looking at everyone with a half-smile, Xun Yu did not reveal the fact that everyone was not in poverty——

This is true: let alone Zhuge Liang and Cao Ang, just talk about the four little guys Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi, Gongsun Yue and Gongsun Fan. They are from the Yuan family and Gongsun family respectively. The former is the Yuan family of Runan, the fourth generation and the third Duke. As the saying goes, there is no shortage of money to spend; the latter is one of the richest families in Youzhou, and their family is well off, so how can they really not have money?

"However, we have to be a little later to avoid running into the young master." Xun Yu explained thoughtfully, not wanting to embarrass Liu Bian.

Everyone shrugged and acquiesced in Xun Yu's decision.

Just as Xun Yu and others were going out later, Liu Bian and He Xian successfully joined Sun Zhu and Zhou Yu.

Not surprisingly, Liu Bian saw Sun Zhu and Zhou Yu each bringing a bookboy.

Sun Zhu introduced: "This is my book boy, his name is Xiao Tie; that is Brother Zhou's book boy, his name is Wen Xian."

Liu Bian said skillfully: "This is my book boy - He Xian."

The three book boys smiled at each other to show their friendship.

Then, Liu Bian, Sun Zhu and Zhou Yu had breakfast together and then walked to the school.

Moreover, Liu Bian discovered that the road leading to the school had become much more lively than the deserted place of the previous two days.From time to time, students pass by him, ranging in age from half-white-haired old men to children in their early teens; there are female students dressed in men's clothing, and there are also groups of Confucian scholars... The most amazing thing is , before he saw the teacher, he already heard the discussion about the teacher——

"Brother, is this true? Mr. Zheng Xuan will really show up and host the opening ceremony?" "No wonder, brother, you insist on coming to "Beihai Academy", but I don't understand. My brothers are still young, so why bother?" "Brother, brother, when will Mr. Zheng Xuan give the question?"Do you want to answer a question? "Brother, I want to go home, but I am not interested in who my husband is!" "...

A group of half-grown boys kept asking questions around a young Confucian scholar.

The Confucian scholar who was questioned only said, "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble." He was very confused.

Liu Bian counted them with great mood: there are seven boys in total, one of them is more beautiful than the other, and they are very eye-catching.

Wow~ It’s great that he can come to “Beihai Academy”!

Talents are everywhere, and if you look for them, you can find a bunch of them...

"Junior Brother He, come here!" Zhou Yu waved to him.

He came back to his senses, walked over quickly, and saw that the so-called school was a large room, enough to accommodate desks and hundreds of chairs, forming a semicircle. The front was empty and could be connected to the door... In addition, he Seeing Xun Yu and others gathered here, they all sat apart and pretended not to recognize him, chatting and laughing with the people around them.

At this time, Sun Zhu and Zhou Yu were already sitting in front of a desk, and around that seat, several older students were also kneeling.The older students also bowed their hands towards Sun Zhu and frequently interacted:
"Isn't this Junior Brother Sun? Last year you lost the "debate conference", I thought you wouldn't come..."

"What are you talking about? Junior Brother Sun hasn't finished reading yet, why don't you come?"

"Hahahaha! That's it~ that's it~ Junior Brother Yisun's temperament, at least he can win a battle, and it's not too late to leave!"

...Liu Bian quickly looked at the group of older students.I saw that although the older students were teasing Sun Zhu in various ways, they looked very happy and did not seem to reject Sun Zhu.

At this moment, seeing him coming, many students turned their attention to him, not hiding the curiosity in their eyes.Just listen to Zhou Yu say: "His surname is He, and his given name is Bian. He comes from Bohai County. Although he is young, he has extraordinary experience. When he first comes to the academy, you are not allowed to tease him."

After hearing this, a group of students promised: "No, no."

"I will introduce these senior brothers to you later." Sun Zhu said listlessly.

It's no wonder: in front of Liu Bian, Sun Zhu is a senior brother; in front of these senior brothers, he is reduced to a junior brother.

The corners of his mouth curved up, and he tried his best to hold back laughter. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard people whispering: "Quiet! Quiet! Sir is here!"

Immediately, all the students present knelt down without looking sideways.

Seeing this, Liu Bian and others quickly sat down, waiting for the rumored Mr. Zheng Xuan to make his debut.

There was a sound of footsteps.

An old man over half a year old came here holding a bamboo slip in his hand.

The old man looks ordinary, but he has a bookish temperament all over his body.

The old man first put the bamboo slips on the table, then faced the students and said loudly:

"Dear students, from today on, I will be responsible for teaching you the subject "Six Arts"... My surname is Zheng, so you can call me "Mr. Zheng"! "

There was no surprising opening remark, but it won the shouts of all the students, who responded: "Mr. Zheng!"

Zheng Xuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Although today is the first day of school in the academy, I don't want to waste it in vain - should those of you sitting here be literate? Later, I will explain "Etiquette Notes" to you. In the last chapter, I have assigned a question for your reference. Whoever can solve the question can visit the old man..."

After saying this, a student said loudly: "Can I accept you as a "high disciple", sir?" "

After hearing this, all the students looked at Zheng Xuan expectantly with bright eyes.

Zheng Xuan stroked his beard and replied: "Not bad."

Suddenly, a group of students secretly exchanged glances with each other, and their joy was beyond words.

Zheng Xuan did not interact with the students or introduce themselves to the students. Instead, he picked up a bamboo slip on the desk and started giving lectures immediately.

Zheng Xuan first read a passage and then explained it step by step.

It is strange to say that the contents of this book are all in classical Chinese, with very few words. If you recite them normally, [-]% of them will not be understood!
However, Zheng Xuan's recitation was an exception: listening to Mr. Zheng Xuan's lecture, Liu Bian was pleasantly surprised that the lecture was easy to understand and not difficult to understand at all, and he felt a sense of enlightenment... Anyway, Liu Bian listened with great interest.

After finishing one paragraph of content, Zheng Xuan read the next paragraph before proceeding to the next statement.

In this way, Zheng Xuan was reading the words while answering the students' questions.

All the students listened seriously without blinking an eye——

It's a pity that everyone didn't bring paper or pen and ink, so they couldn't write down Zheng Xuan's lectures at all!
Looking around quietly, Liu Bian was surprised to see that the school was overcrowded at some point: every once in a while, students came to attend classes in twos and threes!

Including the previous seven boys and the Confucian scholar!

Everyone was very conscious: those who had no seats would lie in front of the window or block the door. Those who really couldn't hear would scratch their heads and scratch their heads, trying to force their way in... "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." A famous student whispered. He reassured me, "If you can't listen this time, just come back next week! Anyway, you are teaching here, so you don't have to worry about him running away!"

Liu Bian: "..."

After listening to the reassurance, the other student had to hold back his temper and stand obediently at a distance. He could no longer hear Zheng Xuan's voice clearly... But it didn't matter: the other student got closer to Mr. Zheng Xuan and simply repeated Zheng Xuan's original words. This surprised the other students’ nearby classmates one after another.

At the same time, Zheng Xuan also slowed down the speed of his explanation. Even whenever another student got up to deliver a message, Zheng Xuan also called the students in time and asked the students to repeat the progress of the course... In this way, all the students present were Listen to Neng Qing Zheng Xuan’s teachings.

Liu Pian was so surprised that he looked at the other student without blinking an eye, thinking: Talent, talent!No one has this kind of memory... Don't miss it!
"Who is that person?" Liu Bian couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Yu opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he only heard Zheng Xuandao:
"What are "notes" and "spares"? ——This student, please tell me. "

Liu Bian: "..."

Okay~ He was actually named by Zheng Xuan.
