"When three people walk together, they must have a teacher from me. Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones..."
"Sir, as ascetics, we cannot recognize our master casually!"
In class, Jiao Na raised her objection seriously.
Chen Jianchen smiled slightly: "Teacher, so you can teach people and solve doubts. You don't have to bow three times and nine times before you can become a teacher. This sentence describes a learning attitude that is not shameful to ask questions, rather than asking you to become a teacher when you meet someone.
It cannot be generalized…”
…
"Therefore, when Heaven is about to assign a great responsibility to a man, he must first strain his mind, strain his muscles and bones, starve his body and skin, deplete his body, and mess up his actions, so that he can move his heart and forbearance to gain what he cannot do..."
"Sir, what kind of big responsibility is this? It's too scary, it's worse than working as a coolie... Oops, sir, you've spanked me again."
It has to be said that Jiao Na is really smart and can learn many articles and principles once she is taught. But she is naturally naughty and will come up with some weird ideas from time to time, which makes people laugh or cry.
…
Now, it is mid-December, time flies, and it has been more than a month since Lu Xiyue returned to Jiangzhou - regarding the case of Lu Xiyue's kidnapping, under Chen Jianchen's instruction, Wang Fu spent money in the government
The case was quietly closed.
Li Yifeng was killed and died together with the bandits. After the news came out, it caused an uproar and created many topics. For a time, the city of Suzhou was full of rumors and rumors.
However, Chen Jianchen did not deliberately inquire about these things. Instead, he stayed in Huzhuang and devoted himself to teaching Jiao Na. After all, the new year was coming, and it would not be long before he would have to return to Jiangzhou and continue studying at Minghua Academy.
Yes.
Huangfu Yuanwai has already made a decision. After Chen Jianchen leaves, the father and daughter will also leave Huzhuang and move to another place. As for the specific place, they have not yet decided, but Jiao Na hopes to move.
He arrived in Jiangzhou. However, Huangfu Yuanwai denied it because he had been living in the mortal world for a long time and had achieved results in tempering his Taoist heart. He now needed to live in seclusion in the mountains and old forests to digest all this and improve his cultivation.
Besides, Jiao Na needs to overcome the tribulation, and to do so, she must find a quiet and uninhabited place.
Therefore, in a short period of time, their father and daughter will bid farewell to the bustling world and retreat to the mountains for seclusion.
Those who are in ecstasy can only say goodbye.
In fact, Chen Jianchen is also a little reluctant to part ways that will soon come. The experience of getting along with Huangfu and his daughter has already created a lot of emotional investment between them.
Jiao Na is also reluctant to let go. She is no longer the heartless person she was before...
"Sir, what does the saying 'Do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you' mean?"
"The meaning of this sentence is that if you don't want to do something, don't force it on others, otherwise it will easily make people resentful."
Jiao Na opened her eyes wide: "No, I don't like eating chicken butts, but every time I give it to Xiao Ju, she eats it very happily."
Xiaoju standing behind her immediately bulged her eyes: Miss, you stuffed the chicken butt into my mouth so savagely, can I not pretend to eat it deliciously?
I dare not say this sentence.
…
On this day, it snowed in the sky, and the temperature was so cold that even the eaves formed strips of ice, which were crystal clear and looked really beautiful.
There is a stove in the room, and the fist-sized charcoal pieces of uniform size are burning red, emitting warm heat - these charcoal are not ordinary charcoal, but precious "Thunder Kiln Charcoal", which can be sold for a pound.
When burned, there is no smell of fire and smoke, and it is rich in calories. However, it is so expensive that only a wealthy family cannot afford to burn it.
After sitting around the fire and listening to the story told by Chen Jianchen today, Jiao Na suddenly asked: "Sir, why do you always tell stories when the prince and princess get married and the story ends? Shouldn't it continue?"
Chen Jianchen replied calmly: "Maybe it's because there are no stories after marriage."
"How can there be no stories? We can talk about having children. One child and two children. There are so many things to tell."
Chen Jianchen was sweating and speechless - the little vixen's thinking was indeed different from that of ordinary people.
——During this period, after class, Jiao Na and Song Niang pestered Chen Jianchen to tell stories. Therefore, as a time traveler, Chen Jianchen finally developed another specialty and became a "story king". Since ancient times.
So far, both at home and abroad, from Water Margin of the Three Kingdoms to "Andersen's Fairy Tales", everything I can remember has been told.
Jiao Na and others listened with great interest, and even joked: Chen Jianchen can write these stories into books and sell them, and make a lot of money...
In fact, Chen Jianchen used to think about this route when he lived in Jingyang Village and was impoverished. However, when he inquired about it later, he realized that it was impossible.
You must know that the Tiantong Dynasty implemented a strict control system for book printing. It is impossible to publish a book without approval. Many of Chen Jianchen's past life stories are among the banned books. Just look at Zhuge Wolong and you will know: when writing history, the authorities will
They say you "borrow the past to satirize the present"; if you write about foxes, monsters and ghosts, you will be said to spread superstition and confuse the public; if you write military books, they will say you are plotting rebellion and committing treason... Even simple love stories cannot be published openly, because
That involves an affair between a man and a woman, which is against the provisions of the sages' "Book of De" and "Book of Rites".
Therefore, it is simply not feasible to make money by selling ideas and writing books. You can only spread them through handwritten manuscripts like Zhuge Wolong did. But what benefits can the handwritten manuscripts bring to the author?
Just a false name.
Even this false reputation will be deliberately belittled and underestimated.
It is no accident that Zhuge Wolong lived in poverty and was homeless all his life. His writings and thoughts are not compatible with today's mainstream. He can only rely on weird words and explicit erotic descriptions to attract readers. No wonder he is proficient in eight-part structure.
But he failed to pass because he didn't know how to guess the examiner's meaning, the main purpose was inconsistent, and the article was full of flowers, but it was also a failure.
"Thousands of strokes written horizontally and vertically, no more ink, more tears."
How miserable and helpless is that?
The strict publishing system is equivalent to a "literary lock", but one does not know when a "literary prison" will emerge. But Chen Jianchen knows very well that such as the ruling philosophy of the dynasty, it is normal to have a literary prison. In fact, the past of the dynasty
Throughout history, harsh literary inquisitions have been carried out many times. I don’t know how many books were burned and how many people were beheaded.
No matter how magnificent and glorious the chapters of history are, they are all written with blood.
Lectures during the day and stories at night, plus two hours of reading and writing alone, are the main content of Chen Jianchen's daily life. It is natural, pure, simple and fulfilling. Such a carefree life is not easy to come by. If life is easy, it is a pity that it is often
Even when you are gray-haired, you won’t be able to take any time off. Sometimes people are free, but their heart can’t stay idle.
As the day of farewell approached, Huangfu gave another precious gift to Chen Jianchen, which was a vest woven from gold silk.
This vest is as soft as water. When you rub it lightly, it becomes as big as a bullet in your hand. When you loosen it and shake it, it returns to a neatly sized vest. It is so light that you can’t feel any weight when you wear it.
The lines between them are as delicate as heavenly clothes, which are seamless and seamless.
"This garment is made from the silk of a century-old golden silkworm. A total of 9.99 million golden threads were used to make it. Although it is not a magic weapon, it is extremely tough, invulnerable to fire and water, and invulnerable to swords and guns."
The imperial officer said so.
In addition to the blood sandalwood bookcase he presented last time, he has given two important treasures to Chen Jianchen. These two things are not ordinary things and are almost impossible to obtain in the secular world.
"Outside of the staff..."
There was an inexplicable emotion in his heart, and Chen Jianchen felt a lot.
Huangfu laughed and said: "Liu Xian, compared with everything you have done for us father and daughter, what are these things? I wanted to give you thousands of wealth, but yellow and white things are very cruel and unlucky, so it is not as good as
Let's all disperse and accumulate merit. Therefore, I have no choice but to give you this golden silkworm vest."
Chen Jianchen said: "The words of a member are too serious. The importance of this gift cannot be compared with the tens of thousands of treasures."
Huangfu said sternly: "Liu Xian, please forgive me for speaking frankly. I once observed the sky at night and figured out a hexagram. I know a little bit about the secrets of the sky. In a few years, there will be a sky dog eclipsing the moon and an evil star taking over. If the sky changes, the earth will change.
, When the earth changes, people will change. In the old world, the road is evil, and the swords and wars rise..."
Chen Jianchen frowned: Huangfu Yuanwai's words were vaguely related to Taoist Priest Qingyun's sentence, "When a country is about to perish, there must be monsters."
Huangfu said again: "Liu Xian, you are an anomaly in Confucianism with your righteousness. Anyway, I have been in the world for many years and have traveled all over the world. I have only seen gentlemen and sweepers, but I have never heard of sages. Although I don't know how you cultivated your righteousness.
And how powerful it is. But with this support, you will not be afraid of evil spirits, and you can protect your soul. It's just that your body is weak, so I specially gave you a golden silkworm coat to protect you, which may prevent some bloody disasters."
Hearing this, Chen Jianchen bowed and said, "Thank you so much for the treasure."
Huangfu helped him up and sighed: "Since ancient times, people are people and monsters are monsters. It is really rare for Liuxian to be open-minded and open-minded and not treat us as aliens. This is our farewell. I hope we can have a better future.
When we get together."
Chen Jianchen smiled and said: "There will definitely be."
Huangfu asked again: "Where else does Liuxian want to visit in Suzhou these days? There are ten scenic spots in Suzhou, and the scenery is so picturesque. It would be a pity not to go there."
Chen Jianchen said: "Well, I just want to go to a place that is one of the ten scenic spots in Suzhou."
"Oh, where is it? It can't be Suzhou River..."
As he said that, the old fox winked at him meaningfully.
Chen Jianchen laughed: "The spring water flows on the Suzhou River, and there is a world in the sky. But what I want to go to is not there, but Jinshan Temple!"
Jinshan Temple?
These three words seemed to have magic power. As soon as Huangfu heard this, his face suddenly turned pale. (To be continued.)
