Saint of the Confucian way

When shopkeeper Zhen walked back to the auspicious restaurant, it was lunch time. On weekdays, there must be a lot of customers. But now there are only two tables in the big lobby, and there is no scholar, not to mention those who wear children's robes or even scholar robes.

It's only been a day.

At this time, a man hurried to the scene and said anxiously: "Shopkeeper, it's not good. Master Su has said that people of the Su family are not allowed to come to our store for dinner, and the Su family's industry is not allowed to have contacts with us. The other two distinguished families also follow suit. Think of a way. I heard from a friend of the county government, county magistrate Cai also said today. In the future, the county government will no longer choose our auspicious restaurant for receiving guests. In this case, those government service officials and their friends No relatives will come. "

Shopkeeper Zhen looked blankly at the empty lobby and stayed for a long time. He sat on the threshold and cried.

"I shouldn't look down upon others..."

Different from the usual lunch, today's lunch of the Fang family has meat and vegetables. Yang Yuhuan is no longer reluctant to eat, but eats whatever he wants with Fang Yun.

While eating, Yang Yuhuan said some trivial things, such as another gift, and several large families sent invitations to Fang to attend the dinner.

After dinner, Fang Yun wrote some simple letters to reply to those who invited him. First, he was very grateful and so on. Finally, he said that he would go to Cai county magistrate's house to study Jingyi and hope Haihan.

Take a nap for a while, Fang Yun will recuperate, and then grind ink and lay paper.

"The sage of Confucianism is long and arduous, and I must move forward step by step. Even if I have a world of strange books, I still need to work hard, or I should work harder in order to live up to the world of strange books!"

"It's unforgettable. Jinshi's body and brain are extraordinary after many times of talent cultivation, so I can never forget. I can't imagine that I'm just a child. I can also remember. Is it the power attached to the world of strange books?"

Fang Yun was so happy that he continued to read this chapter from the beginning.

Reading a book a hundred times reveals its meaning.

When Fang Yun picked up the paper, he found that the paper was ten times heavier than the calligraphy he had written before, and the ink condensed but did not disperse. He didn't dry it for a long time.

Fang Yun reached out and touched the ink, as smooth and round as touching the glass.

Ink does not touch the skin.

"Ink does not touch the skin is a sign of integrating talent into words. Even scholars have to practice for three or five months. The next step is to" resonate with words ", and then I can mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth and fully master the" talk on paper ". If I could not touch the skin when I was a child, I'm afraid I can" talk on paper "when I became a scholar. It's not unusual that the pages become heavier. It's said that saints Words are like mountains, which is even more terrible. "

Fang Yun didn't expect that he had made such rapid progress. He was happy and full of motivation. He continued to study and practice, read it ten times, and then write with pen and ink.

In the process of writing and learning the book of changes, the talent of Wen palace gradually increased, and the whole Wen palace became more and more solid.

Unknowingly, the sun set and the house became dim, but Fang Yun seemed unaware and continued to read and write.

At night, his eyes are brighter than usual. As a child, he has the ability of "bright eyes and night vision". Even in the night when he can't see his fingers, everything is clearly visible as in the daytime.

Fang Yun finished writing another word and was reading it. Yang Yuhuan's voice came from outside.

"Xiaoyun, it's time for dinner."

"OK, I'll go out right away."

Fang Yun had dinner as usual, but Yang Yuhuan was a little different. She used to chat with Fang Yun, but she said very little, but these two days she told Fang Yun everything, about her process of looking for a maid and about her neighbors. Every time she talked about others praising Fang Yun, she was very happy, and her face seemed to glow, more beautiful.

Fang Yun listened quietly and interrupted occasionally. He felt very warm. Yang Yuhuan had obviously relied on him.

After dinner, Fang Yun left with some paper, bought fruit and went to the county government. County magistrate Cai lived in the backyard of the county government.

In the backyard of the county government, Fang Yun met Mrs. CAI. Mrs. CAI was very polite. After greeting, the county magistrate Cai took him to the study and taught him how to do scriptures.

"There are many structures of Sutra meaning, including topic breaking, topic receiving, small lecture, settlement, original topic, big lecture, remaining meaning, original Sutra and ending. You don't have to stick to this structure, but you must understand all structures."

Fang Yun himself has a certain understanding of the meaning of scriptures. After all, even if he doesn't learn how to do the meaning of scriptures, he should also see the wisdom of the strategist of the meaning of scriptures, so as to lay a foundation for the future.

While listening, Fang Yun wrote down all the important places.

County Magistrate Cai nodded.

"It's important to break the questions in the Scriptures. The so-called breaking the questions is to break the questions and explain the words of the saints in your own words. If you even make mistakes in breaking the questions, don't you make mistakes again and again? But if the examiner reads the papers, if there are mistakes in breaking the questions, he will immediately discard them as waste papers."

After that, county magistrate Cai cited several ways to set up the topic, analyzed the traps in the topic, explained it in simple terms, and said it very thoroughly.

Generally speaking, the teachers who teach children are just scholars, and even the most powerful scholars are not worth a Jinshi. Moreover, these Jinshi will continue to study the Scriptures and pay attention to the annual examination questions, because the Scriptures are the most helpful to understand the way of all saints.

County Magistrate Cai spent an hour and a half explaining the structure of the Scriptures. It was extremely thorough. Although Fang Yun wrote them all down, he didn't understand many places because of lack of experience.

After speaking, Fang Yun was about to leave, but county magistrate Cai suddenly asked, "what questions have I just talked about? You come together and don't read your notes."

Fang Yun's face remained unchanged and calmly replied, "the type of question you talked about first is' general chapter question ', that is, use the content of one chapter as the test question. The second is' cut-off question', which only takes the first four words in a sentence. The third is the highly controversial 'cut-off question'..."

Fang Yun answered all the questions exactly, including his own understanding.

County Magistrate CAI was stunned, then blushed and said, "OK! It is worthy of being in front of the double armor saint. There will be your seat in the two columns of the court hall in the future! Even if you have a place in the 'holy tower', I won't be surprised! Unfortunately, I'm afraid you can't understand too much, otherwise I'll talk until dawn!"

"Thank you, master CAI." Fang Yun bowed down solemnly to thank him.

"You give me a superior evaluation and a county poem. It's nothing for me to teach you some scriptures."

As they spoke, they walked out.

Seeing Fang Yun off, county magistrate Cai stood in the courtyard and sighed to the moon, "this son is all good, but I only cherish that he is not my son!"

Back home, Fang Yun continued to read classics and practice calligraphy. Before going to bed, he repeatedly recalled what he had learned at Cai county magistrate's home.

That night, Fang Yun first came into contact with Jingyi.

That night, a pawn shop of the Liu family in Dayuan Prefecture was burned, with a loss of more than 30000 liang of silver.

That night, Fang Shouye visited Liu family's mansion and slapped Liu Zicheng, forcing Liu Zicheng to bow his head and admit his mistake. Before leaving, he put down his cruel words. If Fang Yun was killed, the next day would be Liu Zicheng's death!

That night, Liu Zicheng contacted his brother Liu Zizhi far away in the capital with a letter from the geese of the literary academy and got his reply.

That night, Liu Zicheng took all his savings to visit Wei Yuanjun of the Fuwen academy, took out Liu Zizhi's biography and bought off the five grade official of the first Department of Liushan.

That night, Liu Zicheng swore in the direction of Ji county.

"I won't kill you, but I will pollute your name, cut off your path and ruin your future! Not only can you not enter this literary academy, I will humiliate you in front of everyone on the day you are admitted to the hospital, and let you kneel in front of me and beg for mercy like a dog, so as to wash away the humiliation of Fang Shouye's old dog to me!"
