Chapter 15 The wind of a gentleman
(Please collect, please recommend tickets!)

Xie Shen scratched his head in embarrassment, showing a smile that a child of this age should have, and staring at Kong Jiaoyu with big innocent and watery eyes.

"cough."

Xie Shen stared at Teacher Kong's teachings for a while, so he coughed lightly and said, "Continue to study hard, and if there are no accidents, you will definitely be able to obtain the student qualifications."

Xie Shen was overjoyed.Who is Confucius?In other words, if Xie Shen gets the student qualifications in the future, he will continue his mentorship with Kong Dedao when he goes to the county school to study.With such a great Buddha appreciating Xie Shen, Xie Shen's road to the imperial examination is bright, at least there is no need to worry before the imperial examination.What's more, Wu Youfu, the magistrate of the county, also admired Xie Shen very much. With the appreciation of the magistrate and the edict, Xie Shen has double insurance, and this scholar seems to be determined.

In the days to come, Xie Shen only needed to go through the Four Books and Five Classics and Zhu Xi's "Four Books Collected Notes" steadily, and humbly ask Wang Shouren for questions that he didn't understand.

After all, the officialdom of Ming Dynasty is a field of human feelings, and the imperial examination as the road to officialdom is more human than regulation.

Confucius walked around the school with his hands behind his back, sometimes nodding and sometimes frowning, although he occasionally saw a few well-written poems, comparable to Xie Shen's "Early Spring" in terms of concept and artistic conception It's going to be a lot worse.

On the contrary, Wang Shouwen's "Oriole" is still outstanding, which is no wonder, after all, Mr. Longquan Wang Dehui was the number one scholar in Chenghua for 17 years, and the Wang family is a family of poetry and calligraphy.

Since it was the first day of re-teaching after the suspension of school, the teachings of Confucius did not increase the intensity as soon as they came up.After that, he only talked about a few articles, and he waved his hand and said, "Let's go to school."

These students were all twelve or thirteen years old. Although they usually behaved maturely and prudently, they were still children at heart. They were overjoyed and got up and rushed towards the door of the hall.

Only Xie Shen and Wang Shouwen got up unhurriedly and walked slowly.

"Xie Shen, since school is over, why don't you rush out to play."

Kong Dedao walked up to Xie Shen, stroked his beard lightly and asked.

Xie Shen turned around when he heard the words, first bowed his hands to Kong Dedao, and then said in a deep voice: "Returning to Master, the reason why the students are not in a hurry to play is because they want to cultivate their mind and not be disturbed by external things. Su Mingyun once said' For the way of generals, we must first rule the heart. Taishan collapses in front and the color does not change, and the elk rises to the left without blinking, and then you can control the interests and wait for the enemy'. Although Su Mingyun's original intention is to explain it as the way to lead the army, But students think that this principle can also be used in their studies. If you can’t keep your mind as still as water and not be moved by external objects when you are studying, you will not be able to achieve great achievements.”

Kong Dedao nodded again and again. It is not surprising that Xie Shen knew that Su Mingyun's words came from "Heart Technique", but he was able to understand by analogy, and it is really rare in school to understand the warnings about generals marching and fighting.

What's more, Xie Shen is only 12 years old, if he can be cultivated, he will definitely become a minister capable of governing the world.

Wang Shouwen has been studying in Sanwei Academy for two years, his character and morality are naturally clear, as for Xie Shen, it is really an unexpected discovery.

If it is said that Xie Shen was impressed by the teachings of Confucius by his literary talent before, then he has won the appreciation of the teachings of Confucius by virtue of his character of a gentleman.

"Okay, okay." Kong Dedao patted Xie Shen's arm lightly and said, "Go."

"Students leave."

Xie Shen didn't show the slightest sense of pride, he just bowed his hands to the old teacher of Confucius and respectfully left the school.

Not long after walking out of the school, Wang Shouwen chased him out. Seeing his surprised look, Xie Shen only thought it was funny.

"Why, you won't be dazed, will you?"

Wang Shouwen's eyes were full of admiration for Xie Shen, and he said excitedly, "Xie Xiandi, you know that Confucius has never praised others so much before."

Xie Shen frowned and said, "Did Master praise me?"

In his impression, Kong Jiaoyu just smiled and patted him approvingly, but didn't say anything special.

"You don't know, Kong Jiaoyu has always been a strict teacher, with a straight face all day long. None of the students in the county school and the academy have been spanked by him. But he treats you completely differently. He even slapped you like never before. What is it not to admire you?"

Xie Shen was speechless for a while, he really never thought that an ordinary action would be understood by Wang Shouwen with so many meanings, no wonder it is said that the ancients were good at being philosophers.

"If so, that would be a happy event."

Of course Xie Shen is not a pedantic person who only knows how to study hard. If Confucius really favored him so much, he would almost have achieved the fame of a scholar.

"Hey, brother Xie Xian, you must be hungry too, why don't we go out and have a good meal."

Xie Shen frowned when he heard the words: "Now is the time to enter school, shouldn't we live in the academy?"

Wang Shouwen rolled his eyes and almost held his breath.

"Staying in the academy is also at night. We just need to rush back to the academy before sunset. As for the daytime, as long as the master finishes his lectures, we can naturally go out for a stroll."

Xie Shen scratched his head and said lightly, "So that's how it is."

It seems that he misunderstood the meaning of boarding, so it seems that he has a lot of freedom.

The two walked out of the academy. Under the leadership of Wang Shouwen, Xie Shen followed to a quiet alley.

"Where are you taking me, not going?"

Xie Shen swallowed instinctively, which amused Wang Shouwen.

"Of course I took you to my house to eat. What good food can you eat outside?"

"Uh." Xie Shen suddenly realized that the Wang family is a family of poetry and calligraphy, and Wang Hua is the number one scholar in Chenghua for 17 years, so the family must be very good.This Wang Shouwen grew up in rich clothes and fine food, so he is not used to eating outside.Recalling Wang Shouwen's distressed expression facing the pickles in the bamboo building, Xie Shenzhi was deeply moved.

Go as you please, anyway, sooner or later he will make friends with Wang Yangming, and the sooner the sooner the sooner the better.

"I'll let you go, but I want to see how delicious the dishes at Mr. Wang's house are."

Xie Shen was half joking, and walked forward.

Wang Shouwen was naturally overjoyed.In terms of knowledge and insight, he is naturally inferior to Xie Shen, but it is not a problem to treat Xie Shen to a big meal.

The two of them walked through the alley and came to a fairly lively main street.Wang Shouwen stopped in front of a corner door, stepped forward and lightly knocked on the door knocker, and after a while, he heard the sound of soft footsteps.
