The carriages and horses were noisy at the entrance of Luming Academy. Cui Weizhen and his party also got off their carriages and horses and walked. Deep in the crowd, they happened to hear the conversation between the two scholars surnamed Zhao. For a while, everyone had different reactions.
Just when Ye Zhenzhen was feeling comforted, her son looked over in shock: "Mom, do you want to teach us?"
Ye Zhenzhen: "..." Yes, I forgot to tell my son last time.
She absolutely refused to admit that she was pregnant for three years and answered very calmly: "It's still unknown. It depends on how Chief Dai Shan will arrange it."
Even so, Cui Zheduan was happy enough. The uneasiness he felt when he first came to study in a strange place suddenly disappeared, leaving only anticipation and eagerness to try.
His mother is the professor of the school! My classmates must be envious of him!
Cui Zhiduan and Cui Zhiming gathered together and murmured non-stop, laughing several times from time to time. Ye Zhenzhen and Cui Weizhen looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
After passing through the crowds of people who were rubbing shoulders, the group of people entered the academy and finally calmed down.
There are many ancient trees transplanted in the academy, and poems and essays by great sages are carved on the stone walls. This was learned from Yunshan Academy.
Going further up, you will pass a white marble bridge with a wide main road in the middle and small paths reserved on the left and right. The place leading to the middle is the tallest building of Luming Academy, which is also the library, named Hongwen Hall. Hongwen Hall has three floors in total.
, it is said that the first and second floors contain various historical books and classics, and the third floor contains the original manuscripts of various poetry and stone tablets, which will not be opened easily.
Cui Weizhen introduced them to them: "Most of the books in the Hongwen Hall of Luming Academy were donated by the academy's teachings, and the rest were copied by scholars. There is a special copying room inside, and scholars can get a reward for every ten books they copy.
Giving a book as a gift is one of the important ways for many poor scholars to seek books."
The Cui family has countless books, but Cui Zhiduan has never worried about reading. Hearing that many scholars didn't even have books at home, he couldn't hide the surprise on his face.
Cui Weizhen intended to let them see the hardships of life, and was not in a hurry to report, so he took them straight into the Hongwen Hall. The old man guarding the Hongwen Hall looked up at them, and instead of opening his mouth to stop him, he even cupped his hands towards them.
After entering Hongwen Hall, all the hustle and bustle disappeared, leaving only the tranquility and the fragrance of paper and ink. Cui Zhiduan and Cui Zhiming lowered their breaths unconsciously, looking at the vast sea of books in the museum in amazement - although the Cui family has a large collection of books,
But after all, it is not as rich as the collection of books in the academy. The rows of stacked books look particularly intimidating.
In addition to them, there were many reading scholars in the library. They walked between the bookshelves. After finding the books they needed, they sat on the floor and read them intently. Occasionally, those who noticed them just raised their eyes.
Without too much curiosity, I immersed myself in reading again.
Cui Zhiduan whispered: "I like it here."
Ye Zhenzhen also whispered: "I like it too."
Cui Weizhen looked at the mother and son with a smile, and then led them inside. Soon a copying room with many desks appeared in front of everyone. There were many ancient books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones in the room. These are free to take.
Because they are all poor students, they will be very careful when copying books and will not cause waste.
At this time, the room was not as quiet as outside. Several scholars who were copying books were arguing together. They were all red-faced and seemed to have encountered some irreconcilable contradiction.
Ye Zhenzhen listened carefully and found out that there were errors in the ancient books they copied. The two sides argued endlessly and both felt that they were right, so the copying work was stopped.
In the end, they couldn't convince anyone, and they were about to go to the priest for advice, when they saw Cui Weizhen and his party outside the door.
"Who are you?"
The scholars saw that they were dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary demeanor. They knew their status at a glance and did not dare to make any mistakes. Then they saw two children following them, so they made a guess: "Your Excellency is reporting for the Young Master, right? You
We went to the wrong place, it should be on the right side of Hongwen Hall, where is the residence of the edicts."
Zhishe means office.
Hongwen Hall is the library of the academy, and it is the most precious place in the entire academy. Outsiders are not allowed to enter without guidance. Why did the uncle guarding the library let people in? Could it be that he had dozed off?
Cui Weizhen didn't know that the scholars were rich in inner activities, so he thanked them for their kind reminder and explained: "We are not in the wrong place, but we have heard that the Hongwen Library has a rich collection of books, so we came here with our families to pay our respects."
His approachability won everyone's favor, especially when his own Hongwen Museum was praised, they felt a sense of sincere pride and pride - they also had a share of the credit for the growth of Hongwen Museum.
They talked endlessly about Hongwen Hall, and inevitably mentioned the dispute just now. A tall and thin scholar asked: "Just now, when we copied "Xunzi·Xunxingpian", there was a saying: It's not as good as Qi Qi.
, Lu was a man of filial piety and respect for his father. I personally thought that the word "father" was mistaken for "文", but Brother Zhang believed that the original book was correct. The student saw that you have an extraordinary bearing and must be a person who has read poetry and books, so I asked you to tell me what this sentence is.
untie?"
Everyone looked over carefully.
Ye Zhenzhen is no exception. She rarely reads books about sages. Even if she is forced to read some by Cui Weizhen, she doesn't ask for a deep understanding. In this aspect, Cui Zhiduan is many times better than her. Maybe she won't have to wait long to give him guidance.
I can no longer do my son’s homework.
In just the blink of an eye, her thoughts spread to the horizon, and even nine oxen could not pull her back. Cui Weizhen still looked elegant and calm, and answered the scholars' questions without thinking: "Xunzi·Lun Pian"
There is a saying: To be unloyal and disrespectful in life is to be called wild; to die without loyalty and disrespect to literary is to be barren. This saying is repeated many times in "Xunzi", so "one who respects his father" should be mistaken for "literary".
"Father', all were changed by predecessors who failed to understand the literary meaning."
When the tall and thin scholar heard this, he was extremely happy and said to the scholar next to him: "Brother Zhang, I think what your Excellency said is very true, what do you think?"
The scholar surnamed Zhang still had doubts on his face, obviously not believing this strange man who appeared out of nowhere in front of him.
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded from outside: "Although scholarship requires rigorous exploration, you must not be arrogant or stubborn. The prefect's explanation has been very clear. Zhang Yi, is there anything else to doubt?"
This sound was like thunder exploding in the study room. The scholars present all raised their heads in surprise. For a moment, they didn't know whether they were surprised by the arrival of the mountain chief or the identity of the person in front of them.
