Chapter 9
After early breakfast, Wang Xiuqing put on a thong and a coarse green shirt, and went out to participate in the County Literature Society.

For him, the Wenhui is no longer a good opportunity to learn, nor is it a place to gain knowledge and get to know this era!

In the Qingwa school of the county school, there are trees and peonies everywhere.In the cool room in the courtyard, several professors either sit majestically, answer questions from scholars, or recite poems with others.There are no neatly arranged tables and chairs, but high-backed chairs, or small couch tables, on which tea and fruit snacks are placed for teaching and students to eat. Several handymen are waiting on the side, and the atmosphere is relaxed and peaceful.

Since he came to participate, Wang Xiu let go of his heavy thoughts, but he felt that many Western gadgets appeared in China as early as in the later generations, and he felt a little apprehensive.Today's Wenhui is completely a standard buffet gathering, but the descendants are unscrupulous, the good traditions are gradually discarded, and the dross is preserved.

The mysterious teacher Zhong Liqiu was still the same, he didn't talk to others at all, he was always alone, looking at the book in his hand, and when a scholar asked him a difficult question, he would answer it in a few words.

Everyone respects him very much, but there is also a trace of respect and distance. The identity of this person is too mysterious. There are five or six versions rumored in Shangshui, making people confused which one is true. One thing is certain, no one dares to Zhang Dashan didn't dare to give him face, and neither did the county magistrate.

"The grocery store is half dead, and Wang Dalang has the intention to come." Zhang Qiyuan took a sip of tea, and turned his gaze, which was appreciating poetry, to Wang Xiu, who was five steps away, with a modest smile on his face.

He paid a lot of money for this literary meeting, and his literary talent is really good. From the beginning, he was surrounded by scholars, like stars holding the moon. Of course, he has something to be proud of when he talks about knowledge with a pleasant face.

Lu Tianshou on the side didn't hide his contempt, and sneered, "He's just pretending to be a scene. The Wang family is going to collapse, and there's no place to eat. I'm afraid even a martial artist won't be able to do it at that time."

Several scholars who were commenting all looked at Wang Xiu with strange expressions.

Zhang Qiyuan shook his head, lowered his voice and said: "Wang Dalang's family is indeed in a difficult situation, but he is also considered a member of my generation, so don't humiliate him lightly."

Lu Tianshou was taken aback, Zhang Qiyuan, who wanted to seize the Wang family's property the most, actually refuted him bluntly, which made him look too bad.

No matter how low the voice is, some people can hear it, especially the word "calculation", which cannot but be said to be extremely subtle, putting Wang Xiu on the edge of literati, and leading scholars to infinite reverie.

Sure enough, a fat scholar shook his head and said: "Brother Zhang is really a gentleman, he can accommodate that idiot, I admire you."

Zhang Qiyuan smiled modestly, and said in a gentle voice: "Brother Zhu's words are wrong. If Wang Dalang can turn around, it would be very good. My generation is a classmate, so how can I insult him lightly."

Another person shook his head and said bitterly: "Brother Gao Yi, he is quite like an ancient gentleman."

Several people around nodded in agreement, Zhang Qiyuan had no choice but to be gentle and humble, calling himself vulgar, not daring to be praised by his classmates.

Lu Tianshou finally understood, and secretly scolded Zhang Qiyuan, just like his father Zhang Wenshan, for being a hypocrite, who is both a whore and a memorial archway.However, he could only slander, with an expression of admiration on his face, this guy is not something he can afford.

When his eyes fell on Wang Xiu again, he seemed to be in deep thought, but also seemed to be in a daze. Thinking that his father asked him to make friends with Zhang Qiyuan on purpose, and he would not hesitate to lower his figure, his anger turned to Wang Xiu. The more upset.He couldn't help raising his voice and said: "Brother Zhang is an elegant person, and my younger brother is ashamed to be inferior, but there are so many talents in the county, and a fool who can't even write poems and prose is here, it is simply an insult to gentleness."

Some people who were discussing stopped one after another and looked at Lu Tianshou with surprised eyes. Some clever people glanced at Wang Xiu with strange expressions.

Wang Xiu frowned, and there was nothing unusual. His attention was focused on Zhong Liqiu, and he was very surprised by Zhong Liqiu's profound knowledge. Looking at each problem, Zhong Liqiu almost spoke within three breaths. Baffled, simply omniscient.

He developed a strong interest in Zhongliqiu, and as for Lu Tianshou's thoughts, he directly ignored them.At five o'clock yesterday, he came up with a temporary solution. The last bit of property was taken away, and he lost the time to deal with it calmly, so he started from another angle, which tasted like breaking the boat.

He came to Zhong Liqiu's side lightly, bowed his head and said: "Sir, the student has a question, please give me your advice."

When Zhong Liqiu put down the book, he was surprised to find that it was the Book of Mountains and Seas, which was a book of strange objects, which was used by scholars to pass the time, but Zhong Liqiu took it to the school to read it in a grand manner, which was unavoidable.

"Let's hear it." Zhong Liqiu saw Wang Xiu staring at the book with a dazed expression on his face, coughed twice, tapped the page with his fingertips, and said: "This book is about the Great Harmony in ancient times, but it's a pity that people underestimated it .”

"Sir, that's what you said." Wang Xiu couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, she's so talented!It seems that there is such a thing. It can be seen that there are many capable people in the past dynasties, but it is not shown in the history books.

He suppressed his mind, maintained a humble posture, and said softly: "There is no kindness and no disgusting body. There is goodness and maliciousness. Knowing the good and knowing the evil is conscience, and doing good and doing evil is investigating things. My disciples occasionally feel it, but they also feel it." If you don’t understand, please enlighten me, sir.”

Zhongliqiu's expression on his face changed instantly, and his eyes were fixed on Wang Xiu.After a long time, he said bluntly: "Is this your opinion?"

To be honest, Wang Xiu really didn't know much about it, he just restored the original text from memory and tried Zhongliqiu's water.He smiled lightly, and said: "Heaven feels it, and I realize it in a dream." A joke, this is Wang Shouren, a master of mind studies in the Ming Dynasty, who gave an overview of his life's academics. No wonder Zhong Liqiu was surprised. It would be a strange thing if he was still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai .

However, he can't say that I'm a time traveler, stealing the academic knowledge of the great Confucians of the Ming Dynasty to ask you.If he had to say that it was embezzlement, he couldn't care less, because he couldn't fail, he could only go up against the wind, raise his reputation completely, and elevate it to a height that makes people look forward to. Only in this era of literati supremacy can he have A silver lining.

At that time, he was no longer a down-and-out scholar, no longer a dispensable person, but a promising poor scholar, a rare product worth investing in, and anyone who wanted to offend him to death Weigh the consequences, so as to win yourself breathing time.

To be honest, he was not interested in Cheng Yi’s to Zhu Xi’s method of “investigating things to gain knowledge” in pursuit of “the ultimate principle”, and Wang Shouren just criticized Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism.It has to be said that it is reasonable to look for "reason" from the heart.

This was the first time, the first time Zhong Liqiu didn't answer the student's question directly, the surrounding scholars who followed Wang Xiu looked at it in amazement, Zhang Qiyuan and Lu Tianshou were even more jealous.

"Enlightened in a dream?" Zhong Liqiu smiled, and said frankly: "It seems simple but complex, with profound meaning, I can't think of it for the time being, maybe I can give you an answer tomorrow."

A few scholars at the side threw their glasses. In their impression, Zhong Liqiu knew everything and knew everything. To be questioned by an idiot who couldn't even write poems well, they seemed to have been humiliated.

why it's not me?Everyone is breeding jealousy, Zhong Liqiu is a high mountain in the minds of scholars, an existence that needs to be looked up to!
"Okay, I'll come as soon as I go." Zhong Liqiu put away the Classic of Mountains and Seas, stood up slowly, glanced at Wang Xiu suspiciously, and slowly walked out with infinite thoughts.

The professors and scholars present all had playful expressions, but some people looked at Wang Xiu with unfriendly eyes.

There was silence in the huge Qingwa school, everyone looked at Wang Xiu intentionally or unintentionally, and everyone had doubts, why did this guy just ask Mr.
"Wang Xiu, you are a mere vulgar person. You are dishonestly earning your living, yet you dare to ask your master for advice." Under Zhang Qiyuan's signal, Lu Tianshou jumped up.

Wang Xiu didn't pay attention to this guy at all, he chose to ignore the provocation of ignorance.

Lu Tianshou's complexion changed drastically. Wang Xiu's refusal to give him face again and again was tolerable or unbearable. He jumped up against the case, pointed at Wang Xiu's nose and cursed: "You bastard, you are really stupid, even retorting I don't even have the guts, what a waste."

All the scholars present saw that Wang Xiu was difficult for Zhong Liqiu, and they were a little bit jealous. Seeing that Lu Tianshou was the first bird, they watched the battle gloatingly, and laughed unscrupulously.

"I knew that this trash was a sensationalist, and wanted to show off in front of Mr., but Mr. ignored you. Hehe, trash is trash."

All the scholars laughed again, some even echoed their intentions, and even a few instructors watched with interest. It is common for scholars to fight for leisure, but it is rare to swear.

Wang Xiu put down her hands, stood up slowly, and looked around her former classmates coldly, feeling a little chilled.That "he" is naturally timid and not good at interacting with people. He went to the recruitment club just to cover up his inner timidity through archery. He is a very pitiful and contradictory person. .

But so what?Aren't you classmates?Is it wrong to show up inside?Don't poor students never have their day?You don't care whether you ask, take your walk, read your book, everyone just doesn't interfere with each other, and you even gloat face to face, lest the world will not be chaotic.Facing this group of cold classmates, he was really disappointed. After being extremely disappointed, he became angry, and after being extremely angry, he became calm.

"Trash? I have nothing outside my heart, so what are you?" Wang Xiu smiled coldly, her eyes full of sarcasm.

Lu Tianshou was startled, he didn't fully understand what Wang Xiu meant, but he knew that the last sentence was a slap in the face, so he couldn't help but his face changed drastically, and he said angrily: "Wang Xiu, you are so ignorant that you humiliate me, how dare you humiliate me?" If you don't want to let go of my sister, you're just a small business in this life, so get out of here with me."

Wang Xiu was speechless for a while, Lu Tianshou had studied for a few years anyway, so he was not good at all, if you didn't dare to come up to fight, that's fine, his speech is still so bad.They're all divorced, and you're still talking about your sister, and Zhang Qiyuan's face is so dark that it's almost dripping water, it's really rotten wood.

Suddenly he wanted to laugh, but he held back forcefully, and continued to prod: "What nonsense, the heart is the root of all things, and everything is empty. I think it is a dog or a pig, and it will never be a pig." It’s worse than a pig or a dog.”

Lu Tianshou was so angry that he didn't understand 'no reason', but knowing that Wang Xiu scolded him, the county school didn't dare to do anything, he was really aggrieved to the extreme.

However, the smiles of a few scholars stopped abruptly, their faces were solemn, and they were all savoring Wang Xiu's words.

Zhang Qiyuan was also secretly surprised, he was not an idiot like Lu Tianshou, his knowledge was even evaluated as "fair" by Zhong Liqiu, so he could taste it naturally, and secretly thought that this idiot's words were amazing, did he always pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger in the past?Impossible!He stabilized his mind and said with a graceful smile: "What you say makes sense, but it's all lies."

Wang Xiu glanced at Zhang Qiyuan, and said lightly, "Oh, please advise."
