"In my name, you actually won't let me narrate it!"

Xunzi smiled and shook his head. He wanted to know who could write a narrative for this.

Zhou Li entered primary school at the age of eight, and Bao Shi taught Guozi the Six Books.

One is to refer to things, which refers to things that can be recognized by looking at them, and the meaning can be seen by looking at them, which means up and down.

The second is pictograms. Pictograms are drawn into objects, and they are interrogated according to the body, such as the sun and the moon.

The third is the phonetic sound. The phonetic sound is named after something, and the example is used to complement each other. This is the case for rivers.

The fourth is understanding. The understanding is similar to the friendship. Seeing refers to the relationship, and Wu Xin is also the same.

The fifth is to transfer notes. The person who transfers notes builds a similar poem and agrees to accept it. This is always the case.

The sixth one is borrowing under false pretenses. The person who borrows under false pretenses has no actual words. He relies on his voice to ask for something. This is what the commander-in-chief says.

"The Yan family deserves to be the leader of Confucian literature, I am not as good as me!" Xunzi sighed.

After hundreds of schools of thought and scholars from various countries got "Shuowen Jiezi" for the first time, they all realized that this was completely introduced by the Yan family to build momentum for Yan Yan.

"That's all. Since it's the Yan family that's building momentum for it, what else can I say?"

People carry people in sedan chairs.

"I didn't expect that the Yan family has come this far!"

"???" After reading Yan Yan's narration for "Shuowen Jiezi", Xunzi remained silent for a long time.

If you interrupt other people's momentum today and provoke others, who will give you such face next time when it comes to you?

At most, he can continue to annotate "Shuowen Jiezi" instead of overturning it.

No one would touch such an eyebrow.

Therefore, the only possibility is that this "Shuowen Jiezi" was summarized by Yan Yan with the help of Yan Jia's summary!
What is even more likely is that this was created by the Yan family, but in order to push Yan Yan to a higher level of achievement, the credit for "Shuowen Jiezi" was given to Yan Yan.

This is not uncommon for Baijia!

Therefore, hundreds of schools of thought unanimously praised "Shuowen Jiezi" and even regarded it as a required course for elementary school students.

There are six books in Zhou Li, but there is no clear explanation of the six books. Until he saw Yan Yan's written description, Xunzi had to admit that there was nothing more suitable to define the six books.

Xunzi said with a smile.

What's more, this "Shuowen Jiezi" is obviously the work of several generations of the Yan family, and it is difficult to overturn it.

Xunzi did not think that this was summed up by Yan Yan himself. After all, Yan Yan was too young. Even if he had studied ancient and modern writings since his mother's womb, he would not have achieved such an achievement.

In particular, Yan Yan's achievements in musicianship and mental studies were too high, so he naturally neglected other aspects.

Xunzi finished reading the entire volume of "Shuowen Jiezi" and finally shook his head. Although he had a different understanding of the meanings of some words, it did not mean that Yan Yan's meanings were wrong.

"Although no one is here from the Yan family, the gift given is not light!"

This is called building momentum, building momentum for disciples!

After all, if one family builds momentum for outstanding disciples, other families will naturally give this face as well. This is the unspoken rule of the hundreds of families.

Although the Yan family ignored Yan Yan, did they really ignore him?
Xunzi didn't believe it, otherwise how could he explain this "Shuowen Jiezi"?

All I can say is that the gift the Yan family gave Yan Yan for his wedding was too heavy!

"Forget it, the Yan family must have made other preparations. I will just host the wedding and the queen-conception ceremony!" Xunzi didn't think about anything else.

Obviously, the Yan family has other arrangements for Yan Yan. There is no need for him to support Yan Yan anymore. He can just be the master of ceremonies honestly.

"Three letters and six etiquette, letter of appointment, invitation, and letter of ceremony." Xunzi found Yan Yan and asked clearly who should be invited, what the betrothal gift and dowry were.

"Let's ask... the Yin Yang family!" Yan Yan smiled awkwardly. Strictly speaking, Shao Siming was abducted by him and never said hello to the Yin Yang family.

"..." Xunzi sighed helplessly, "Forget it, I'll go ask Dong Huang Taiyi and Chu Nan Gong myself!"

"To accept a gift, to ask for a name, to accept a gift, to accept a petition, to ask for an appointment, to welcome one in person," Xunzi asked again.

"..." Yan Yan smiled awkwardly again. This was his first time getting married, so he was not familiar with these things.

"The so-called nacai means that the man proposes to the woman's family and brings some gifts, of which geese are essential, such as sheep, vanilla, and deer, which are auspicious to express blessing; and glue, paint, and acacia bells , mandarin ducks, phoenixes, etc. are used to symbolize the harmony of the couple; or the advantages and virtues of each object are used to encourage and encourage the couple, such as pampas grass, selaginella, relic beasts, blessed beasts, fish, wild geese, nine-child wives, etc. "

Xunzi continued to explain.

"Oh, there is no shortage of these Bingzhous!" Yan Yan said with a smile.

As long as it is what Xunzi said, there is nothing that Bingzhou cannot come up with.

"That's all, I'll go find Donghuang Taiyi and Chu Nan Gong to discuss it myself!" Xunzi no longer had any hope for Yan Yan.

This is just asking three questions and not knowing.

He couldn't decide on the three books and six rites except for the acceptance, and he could decide the rest privately with Dong Huang Taiyi and Chu Nan Gong.

As for why he should accept the levy, he couldn't decide, because it was the betrothal gift that Bingzhou had to pay, and it was not easy for him to do it on his behalf.

It's just that Yan Yan doesn't know what it takes to recruit soldiers, it doesn't mean that the soldiers and officials under his command don't know.

Therefore, An Qisheng, Dianqing and others took the initiative to find Xunzi and took charge of the recruitment.

"Are you here to prepare for the conquest?" Xunzi was a little confused.

"Your Majesty is getting married. As people from Bingzhou, we should also contribute!" An Qisheng said with a smile.

"So?" Xunzi felt that this might be the grandest wedding he had ever hosted in his life, and the one with the most generous betrothal gifts.

"Four tables of the Eight Immortals of Southern Ironwood, four tables of golden bowls and jade bottles..." An Qisheng counted the betrothal gifts they could come up with.

As for not being able to take it out?
After the soldiers on the front line heard about your Majesty's wedding, they looted the entire grassland. The grassland's favorite thing was gold, silver and jade, and they would just rob a few tribesmen.

"..."

"luxury!"

Xunzi has nothing else to say.

The soldiers want to give the king a gift, can he stop him?

Therefore, Chu Nan Gong and Donghuang Taiyi went crazy when they saw the bride price.

With so much betrothal gift, the dowry they gave couldn’t be lower!
and so……

"This is going to sell our Yin Yang family!" Dong Huang Taiyi and Chu Nan Gong looked up at the sky.

Did you say that Bingzhou is very poor?

Who is so poor that all the betrothal gifts are based on gold and jade?

"Shili Hongzhuang!" Donghuang Taiyi finally sighed.

If you lose, you don't lose. You can't be looked down upon by hundreds of schools in the world, right?

Therefore, the Yin Yang family declared bankruptcy.

The most basic things in Ten Miles of Hongzhuang are the eight-carriage sedan chair and the final coffin.

For this reason, the Yin and Yang family had to find the Fuso Sacred Tree to build a splendid sedan chair and a triple coffin made of thousand-year-old dark wood.

These two things alone put the Yin Yang family on the verge of bankruptcy.
