Seeing Hu Tixue asking, everyone came to the spirit.

Lin Chengyi replied: "Back to the words of the great grandmaster, there is a order of learning, some disciples have already read the four books, some are reading the three-character scripture, the surname of the hundred families, and the thousand-character text, as for those who have just entered the school, they are still reading Mengtongxun and disciple rules. ”

Hu Tixue earnestly advised: "Teacher, enlighten and solve doubts, pass on books and teach the profession, and when you teach books, you should do it step by step, and you should not be in a hurry, and if you want to be fast, you will not reach it." ”

Lin Chengyi saluted and said, "Remember the teachings of the great master in your later life. ”

Hu Tixue turned his head to the schoolchildren and asked gently, "Have any of you read the Four Books?" ”

As Lin Chengyi expected, Hu Tixue first took the school four books. This is also a must, and scripture is the stepping stone to fame. Hu Tixue is responsible for the culture and education of a province, and of course needs to guide the direction of Shilin's literary style.

Hearing Hu Tixue's words, among the schoolchildren, Zhang Haoyuan, Zhang Guihe, and Zhang Songming were all shocked, and the three of them stepped forward and replied: "Back to the words of the great grandmaster, I have read some in my later life." ”

Hu Tixue looked back and smiled at the left and right and said: "Look, how interesting it is, it just so happens that before this official was admitted to the Jinshi, he also read some four books, let's confirm each other." ”

The leader joked that the subordinates must laugh, and most of the people present were people in the yamen, who didn't know this truth. So everyone laughed and 'leaned forward and back'.

Hu Tixue pointed at Zhang Guihe and asked, "Where have you read the four books?" ”

Among the three, Zhang Guihe is the oldest, looks handsome, and looks like the most reader. He was the first to ask, and he was obviously somewhat interested in it. In the villagers who are accompanying him, there are Zhang Guihe's relatives, and his face is bright at the moment.

Listening to Hu Tixue's words now, Zhang Guihe's spirit was shocked at the moment, and under the gaze of his relatives and the officials present, there was no stage fright at all.

Zhang Guihe stepped forward and replied loudly: "After finishing college in the late years, I am diligently reading the Analects, Mencius. Lin Yanchao thought to himself, Zhang Guihe deserves to be the first 'scholar' in Hongtang Social Studies, and he can read the Analects at the age of thirteen, and Mencius is already good.

Hu Tixue nodded, but this was nothing in his eyes, and he said at the moment: "Okay, since you have read the Analects, I ask you that the gentleman has nothing to fight about. Will shoot too! What's next? ”

Zhang Guihe didn't think about it, and said with a smile: "Students know that they can go up and drink when they get down. Its contention is also a gentleman. ”

Hu Tixue nodded slightly and then asked, "Then how to annotate this sentence?" ”

Zhang Guihe paused and thought: "It is true that a gentleman is modest and indisputable, but ...... But when archery, it should be ...... It should be a gentleman's dispute. ”

Zhang Guihe is talking about the annotations on Zhu Zi's annotations, which are the official standard answers. So when Lin Chengyi asked Lin Yanchao to memorize the four books, he felt that there was not enough time, not because the four books were difficult, but because the annotations of the four books were too long. Although Lin Yanchao stammered when he heard Zhang Guihe, he was generally right. It can be seen that the other party is very reluctant, and even Lin Chengyi breathed a long sigh of relief for him after listening to him.

Hu Tixue listened noncommittally, then turned his head and asked Zhou County: "Brother Shutai, what do you think of this schoolboy's solution?" ”

Zhou Xianling said expressionlessly: "This is embarrassing for me." ”

As a Jinshi, the Four Books and Five Classics have long been familiar with Zhou County's order, but Hu Tixue said this, but he is not easy to accept, so as not to be suspicious of being taunted.

At that moment, there was a humane on the side: "Great Grandmaster, the student has come to explain it for the county honor." ”

A man about the same age as Zhang Guihe walked out from behind Zhou County.

"Where is there a place for you to speak in front of the Great Grandmaster," Zhou Xianling reprimanded him.

Hu Tixue said with a smile: "They are all students who are backwards, so let him say it." ”

This person spoke: "Let's put it in other words, among them, the one who gives up and ascends is the gift of the big shot, the ancient ceremony, and the coupling into the three and then ascending to the hall." Zhu Zi has a commentary in this paragraph, and he picked it up in his later life, and this gentleman is humble and does not fight with others, but there is a fight after shooting. However, if the dispute is also like this, then the dispute is also a gentleman, not a dispute between villains. ”

Hu Tixue nodded with satisfaction and said, "Ten will not leave **." ”

Hearing Hu Tixue say this, the man was overjoyed at the moment and said, "Late Chen Zongcheng, thank you for the praise of the great grandmaster." ”

Lin Zongcheng's appearance is so eye-catching, which makes the children of the Zhang family present unhappy at the moment, and now he is a scholar, and he has come to Hongtang Township to take the examination of the children here, what the hell are you, how did you steal the limelight from the locals. However, this person came out of the county by train, either from the county yali, or a cronie of the county. The people did not dare to say anything.

Seeing this, Zhang Guihe's eyes also showed hatred, and he said anxiously: "I implore the great master to ask the question again!" ”

Hu Tixue said with a smile: "I have already asked, at your age, it is already good, and you will work hard in the future." ”

Hearing Hu Tixue say this, Zhang Guihe didn't dare to say any more, so he could only stomp his feet and retreat. Zhang Guihe didn't expect his stomping action, and he was seen by Hu Tixue, and his face showed a trace of unhappiness.

Hu Tixue looked at Zhang Haoyuan, and Zhang Songming asked, "What have you learned?" ”

"If you go back to the great grandmaster, you have only studied in college, and the Analects are only rough." The two replied together. Obviously, they saw that Zhang Guihe had lost, and they knew that they couldn't do it so deeply, so they took a step back. There is one chapter of the University Sutra, and ten articles are transmitted, which add up to only 5,000 words, and it is difficult to make any mistakes.

At this time, Zhang Haoyuan stepped forward and said: "Student Zhang Haoyuan, the son of the elder in his hometown, is already familiar with the book in the university, and I implore the great master to ask the question!" ”

Zhang Haoyuan jumped ahead of Zhang Songming, took the lead, and took the initiative to introduce himself, and alluded to the fact that he was the son of the chief, all of which was to deepen his impression in front of Hu Tixue. And Zhang Songming was stunned, not knowing what to say, obviously he had never seen the world, Hu Tixue, and Zhou Zhixian lost an inch in front of him.

Lin Yanchao looked at it on the side and thought, it seems that there is a father who is elder, it is not the same, but the rules and etiquette are not bad at all, this is not something that ordinary people can teach, but Zhang Haoyuan is not too deliberate.

Li Chang has a lot of influence in the countryside, but for Hu Tixue, how can he look at it. Hu Tixue looked at Zhang Haoyuan and shook his head, Zhang Haoyuan's expression changed, and for some reason he made Hu Tixue unhappy.

Hu Tixue pointed to Zhang Songming on the side and asked, "You are younger than him, why did you rush in front of him?" ”

Zhang Haoyuan was dumbfounded for a while, knowing that he had left a bad impression on Hu Tixue, so he hurriedly remedied: "Although the student is young, he is older than him in the clan. ”

Hu Tixue listened and pinched his beard and said: "You have your own reasoning, but it is not in line with etiquette." ”

Zhou Xianling glanced at it and sneered: "The Great Grandmaster is mentioning you, do you hear?" ”

The official authority of Zhou County is very heavy, and ordinary people are still afraid, let alone children. His mediocre words sounded like a reprimand to Zhang Haoyuan. Zhang Haoyuan couldn't help but tremble and said, "Student thank you...... Grandmaster Xie taught. ”

Hu Tixue said gently: "It doesn't matter, you just said that the book of the university has long been familiar with it, you know that the ancients were the first and last to learn, although the university is short, but the knowledge must be based on the university, Zhu Zi said, read the "University" first, in order to determine its scale; Read the Analects for the second time to determine its roots; read "Mencius" for the second time to observe its development; The second time you read "The Mean", in order to seek the subtleties of the ancients, you must not be underestimated. ”

Hearing this, everyone present nodded, and Lin Yanchao also secretly praised in his heart, although the set of Guanfeng Social Studies was a formalism practiced by ancient people in the official face, Hu Tixue was still very attentive, and his words were pertinent, and he was really mentioning backwards.

But after Zhang Haoyuan was frightened by Zhou County's order, he didn't recover yet, and replied absentmindedly: "Thank you for the great grandmaster." ”

Everyone present could see this situation, but it was a waste of Hu Tixue's embarrassment, Zhang Zongjia watched it from the sidelines, secretly annoyed, but he didn't dare to say anything to remind his son.

Hu Tixue immediately asked, "Do you remember what Tang Zhipan said?" ”

Zhang Haoyuan perked up after hearing the moment and said: "Students remember, Gou is new, every day, and every day. ”

Hu Tixue smiled as a sign of appreciation, Zhang Haoyuan was very well prepared for the university book, and was waiting for Hu Tixue to ask himself again. But Hu Tixue didn't have the intention of asking again, turned his head to look at Zhang Songming and asked: "There is a saying in the university, sincerity and righteousness, what is sincerity?" What is a positive heart? ”

Zhang Songming was panicked by this sudden attack, and he also thought that Hu Ti would learn to take the school Zhang Haoyuan a few more questions. Zhang Songming was nervous, his brain was blank, he listened to Hu Tixue's words, pondered for a while, and then said: "The so-called sincere people, don't deceive yourself, like a bad smell, like a good lust." ”

"The so-called righteous heart...... The so-called ...... of righteousness"

Zhang Songming answered one, but the next one couldn't be answered.

All the villagers sweated for him, Lin Yanchao also sighed when he saw it, seeing such a big scene, anyone would be nervous, no wonder Lin Chengyi said to himself before, he didn't expect to be appreciated by Hu Tixue, he should see the world, and he would not be afraid to see the officials in the future.

"You come to sue him."

Seeing Hu Tixue pointing at himself, Chen Zongcheng showed a smile on his face, and said: "The so-called righteous heart, if the body is resentful, it cannot be corrected; If there is fear, there is no right; If you have fun, you can't do it; If there is a problem, it will not be corrected. Cheng Zi said: "The body is the heart." ”

Seeing Chen Zongcheng answer like this, Hu Tixue showed a look of approval. And the people of Hongtang Township on the side were suddenly disgraced.

Soon a long entourage whispered a few words to Zhou County, and Zhou County's order said to Hu Tixue: "Lord Tixue, tea and rice have been prepared, and there are no delicacies in the countryside, only fish and shrimp are still fresh." ”

Hu Tixue said with a smile: "I have heard that the river of Fujian has raised people for a long time, and Brother Zhou is an official, which is really a blessing." ”

Zhou Xianling said with a smile: "Where is it, after a period of Jiangkou red fat red ointment, that is the real mouth." ”

After speaking, the two laughed together, and they both stood up.

Lin Yanchao shook his head secretly, estimating that the matter of Guanfeng Social Science was not as interesting as the red cockroach in Jiangkou in the eyes of the two officials.

The two adults left their seats, and the subordinates on the side also moved, opening the way and lifting the curtains.

Hu Tixue nodded and got up from his chair.

Zhang Xiang was anxious when he saw it, and his heart spread today's events, not only Hongtang Social Studies, but also the reputation of Hongtang Township. Zhang Xiang hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Two adults, please stay, there are still a few disciples in social science who can be cultivated, please try it!" ”
