Earth Immortal Righteous Path

Chapter 96
Master Xun looked at Zhou Xun who came in with satisfaction, and nodded.

Xun Or himself was wearing a blue Confucian shirt, neat and tidy, his hair tied with a Confucian crown, and he looked very energetic.

"Get up, what are you doing with so much courtesy?"

He himself is very satisfied with this disciple. He understands every point, and he can understand it once he understands it. He can draw inferences from one example with a little tweaking of the scriptures.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, have you ever read? How much have you read "Great Learning"?"

What Xun or cared about was how well Zhou Xun was reading and how he was progressing, so he had to spot-check from time to time.

Sure enough, they were about to twitch their backs just after meeting.

Zhou Xun had been prepared to memorize the university by heart.

"If you go back to the teacher, the disciple has already finished college."

"Okay, okay! Sure enough, he is my good student."

Xun Or didn't have the slightest doubt, but smiled heartily.

The happiest thing in my life is to meet such a disciple who entered the house, and I couldn't be more caring.

What he can't do, his disciples can definitely do!It is also a good thing to go to see the love and moon in the capital for him as a teacher.

"Since you are in college, can you recite it?"

"can!"

Xun Yu was even more satisfied. He was able to recite "Great Learning" at the age of nine. This progress is not too slow, and it was several years earlier than he was back then.

"In that case, I'll test you!"

"So a gentleman must be cautious about his independence. What is the previous sentence? Which article did it come from?"

"The so-called sincerity is not to deceive yourself. It is like a bad smell, like a lust; this is called self-modesty. Therefore, a gentleman must be careful about his independence. From the seventh chapter, the chapter on sincerity."

"Then, what does this sentence mean, do you know? Reading, you have to ask for a deep understanding."

"My disciples know that this sentence means that the so-called honesty of one's mind means not to deceive oneself. For example, if you hate dirty smells, or like beautiful women, only in this way can you be regarded as being honest about your mind. So A gentleman must be careful when he is alone."

Next to him, Zhou Gui was holding a small tea gu, slowly blowing on the hot air, and taking a sip from time to time, the faint fragrance lifted people's spirits.

He just saw Xun or Kaojiao's son here, smiling, and didn't care.

"Xun'er really regards Xun'er as his successor. It's not easy to travel back and forth four times a month. It's not easy to go all the way. I have to write Shuxiu later. It's kind of a treat."

Originally, he asked Xun'er to join Xun'er's sect because of his own knowledge of classics and righteousness, and secondly because of his connections. It was also because of his connections that he hired so many teachers of miscellaneous studies for Xun'er.With a feeling of teaching, it will be easy to deal with in the future.

It is the normal state of literati at this time to make contacts and flatter each other.

Just because no one advertises, who knows who you are?Naturally, we have to support each other and publicize a lot. If there are a few good articles, that would be even better. Maybe we can win the favor of academic officials and extra points.

Of course, the name of the article also depends on what aspect and degree it is. The reputation of ordinary scholars is just right. It is enough to write a few passable poems and one or two bright articles.

But if the name really moves a state, but I am not enough, it is too much to go too far, and it is inevitable that I will be tired and my career will not go smoothly.

Maybe there is still jealousy, everyone was flattering each other, hello and me, but you overshadowed everyone every time, and all the poems and essays were given to you as a foil...
How do you want us to play?This is actually inadvertently breaking the rules, and naturally everyone resists and excludes you.

Coupled with the classmates, the same year, teachers, family members, etc. behind these people, it doesn't matter, as long as they are vaguely suppressed, it is enough for ordinary talented people from poor families to waste their lives.

In fact, Zhou Gui belongs to this kind of talented person from a poor family. He became famous at a young age, but he is not a child of an aristocratic family. Naturally, he couldn't withstand the overt and secret suppression and had to give up his official career.

"Back then, I was still young and vigorous. If I didn't go to the Dragon Palace Banquet, I wouldn't have caused those disputes."

Thinking of another thing, he looked at his son standing in the hall.

"According to calculations, the days are about the same, within three or two years. If that can be done, my Zhou family will have a hundred and twenty years of great luck, and I will be able to produce three generations of feudal officials, and become a family of prefects."

His gaze was no longer here, but towards the direction of the ancestral hall.

"Dragon Palace..."

"Once the decree of heaven, the stars will disperse."

Zhou Xun was fascinated unconsciously when he thought of the scene of prosperity during the Dragon Palace night banquet.

"it is good!"

Xun Yu cheered, waking up the dreamer, Zhou Xun came back to his senses, and saw the field.

Zhou Xun was reciting "The Doctrine of the Mean" fluently, but he was actually reciting it backwards.

Zhou Gui smiled, this kid still likes to show off.

In a short while, after reciting the book, Xun Yu had been here for a while, so he got up and wanted to leave.

"It seems that your family, Xun'er, has not neglected his studies. I thought he would be distracted by miscellaneous studies and practicing martial arts, which would delay his studies. I don't think he is not in the slightest. I am relieved!"

"In the future, I won't come, Xun'er should go over. After he is admitted to the academy, he will live in my house, which is close anyway."

This is an extremely close expression. Those who can live in the teacher's house all the time can only be treated like disciples who have truly been taught with all their strength.

Of course Zhou Gui agreed and sent Xun Yu to the door. Zhou Xun consciously ran forward to help the teacher into the ox cart.

Bullock carts are the norm at this time. Not everyone is willing to raise horses, and they are not as practical as cattle.

"No need to send it away, it's not the first time I've come here, I can still get lost!"

Xun Or ordered his servants to drive the ox cart, and they gradually walked away. Zhou Xun, Zhou Gui and his father and son waited quietly in front of the door until the old master disappeared from sight.

"Dad?"

"Huh? What do you want to ask?"

"I want to ask about the well in the ancestral hall in the backyard..."

Zhou Gui's heart tightened when he heard this, and he cut him off decisively.

"Let's go back and talk!"

Then I paid attention to the front, back, left, and right, but no one noticed at the moment.

Zhou Xun didn't know why, but he thought of the weirdness of the well in the backyard, realized that something seemed unusual, and obediently followed into the door.

As soon as he entered the back room, Zhou Gui asked with a straight face.

"How much do you know?"

Zhou Xun then said everything about going to the backyard today, but he missed the last fire pass.

Zhou Gui heard that the weather was uncertain, and walked back and forth in the back room several times with his hands behind his back.

Then he spoke slowly.

"I won't punish you, not this time!"

"But you don't go to that well any more."

Zhou Xun inexplicably thought of Huodezi who fell there.

"About the things there, now is not the time to tell you. When the time comes, I will tell you if you don't ask me."

"But at least you have to wait until you pass the exam!"

Zhou Xun said with a crying face.

"Father, it will take at least six years. Even if there is no delay in the middle, I will take the exam all the way, become a scholar, enter the academy, and then take the Juren exam, it will still take six years!"

Zhou Gui didn't give him any leeway this time.

"Then go to study quickly, and pass the exam as soon as possible, so that I can feel at ease!"

Zhou Xun was thinking about the rumor, so he didn't dare to say more, for fear of being found out, he hurriedly excused himself to back down.
