Chapter 12 The Four Sentences of Hengqu
For modern people, Chen Xu's question is very common, and even elementary school students will answer: Studying for the rise of China; it is quite unusual in Dayan. Children in the school have few opportunities to ask questions as long as they study. If they make the husband unhappy, they will be punished like "thugs".
Of course, this style of study cannot be simply summarized as "the poison of the corrupt feudal system on students." The so-called "Masters lead to practice in person. Teachers teach knowledge, both learning and understanding, and ask questions when they don't understand the problem. In the long run, how many people will have worked hard to understand?
Ling Yang was confused. It has been ten years since he was exhausted. He just read for the sake of studying.
A poor student has been working hard for ten years, so that he can become famous in one day and bring honor to his ancestors; Lingyang's grandfather was the Duke of the Kingdom. As the eldest grandson, he had the privilege of inheriting his grandfather and his father's title. A mere top scholar was only the light of rice pearls, how could he compete with the sun and moon for glory?
Looking back on his mental journey over the years, what supports him to study hard is nothing more than "fame". Jie Yuan, Hui Yuan, and the top scholar. He pursues the highest level of scholars' "success in three yuan in a row". Ideals are lofty, reality is cruel. Ling Yang has not been able to pass the provincial examination so far, and even the identity of a supervisor is benefited from the protection of his ancestors.
"Reading can solve doubts." Ling Yuehua said.
"Reading can make people understand." Qin Mengyao said.
Ling Yang glanced at Chen Xu, and he couldn't find the superiority of being a child of an official in him, and he couldn't help looking up at this thin servant.
"There is a saying in the Imperial College that rich families do not need to buy good land, there are thousands of millets in books. There are no tall buildings in living, and there are golden houses in books. Don't hate the lack of a good match for your wife, and there are Yan Ruyu in books," Ling Yang couldn't help but look at Qin Mengyao again. Miss Mengyao looks really beautiful, and he even thinks about her appearance when he has sex with his wife, "Don't hate no one to follow you when you go out, and there are so many cars and horses in books.
A man wants to fulfill his life's ambition, and read the Five Classics to the window frequently."
Chen Xu understood Ling Yang's expression and said with a smile: "Young Master Ling, a talented man and a beautiful woman are indeed happy in life, but I think it is not necessary to study hard when I approach a beautiful woman, right?"
Ling Yang seemed to have been peeked into the secret in his heart by Chen Xu, and his cheeks were burning, but Chen Xu's expression actually meant to ask for advice.
Nerds are all introverted.
"Isn't this simple?" Chen Xu picked up a stone on the ground and walked solemnly in front of Qin Mengyao, "Miss Mengyao, your thing has fallen."
Qin Mengyao: “…”
"My name is Chen Xu, I'm very happy to know you." Chen Xu reached out his hand seriously to shake hands with Qin Mengyao.
Qin Mengyao's face was red, and men and women were not allowed to kiss each other. Doesn't this kid know?
Ling Yuehua was interesting to watch, covering her mouth and laughing; Ling Yang opened his eyes wide, that's fine?
"I heard that your mother hopes you can study, so what is your purpose of studying?" Ling Yuehua asked Chen Xu.
"Do you want to hear the truth or lies?" The game was still in full swing - of course, this is a more literary statement. In fact, Yang Yunrui was dodging while observing the six directions, and slashing wildly like Ling Ri - Chen Xu turned his gaze to Qin Mengyao again.
"What about the truth? So what about lies?" Qin Mengyao suppressed her sudden shyness. She gave Chen Xu a blank look and pretended to be disdainful.
"Stand up your mind for the heaven and earth, establish your destiny for the living and the people, inherit the unique knowledge of the past sages, and bring peace to the ages." Such ambition is 100% false for Chen Xu. However, when it is true, the truth is also false. Who can clearly distinguish between true and false?
Whether it is Ling Yuehua or Qin Mengyao, neither of them distinguishes true or false, or they do not want to distinguish between them. The four sentences that establish their hearts, establish their destiny, inherit their unique skills and bring peace to the ground are like thunder thunder, shaking their peaceful hearts and stirring up storm waves.
Zhang Zai's "Four Sentences of Hengqu" are concise and grand, which contains both the great mind of scholars and the ambitions of scholars. It can be regarded as the highest yearning for human education. Ling Yuehua's surprise was beyond words, Ling Yang murmured to himself, Qin Mengyao's beautiful eyes flashed continuously, and even Yang Yunrui, who was in the competition, could not help but look back. When he first met Chen Xu yesterday, he felt that he was extraordinary, but now it seems that he was underestimating him.
Ling Ri had an "appointment" with the study room. When he saw it from a distance, he retreated. Such a young man certainly disdained to think about the purpose of reading. At this time, Yang Yunrui turned around and suddenly realized that the opportunity had come. He jumped up suddenly, held the hilt of the sword in both hands to make a move to cut Huashan.
Yang Yunrui heard the sound of breaking through the air, and the unsheathed sword blocked it. This was his first and last move in this competition. Ling Ri felt his arms were sore and numb, and he had no idea that he would forget the death of the sword. If he couldn't grasp it, he would let go. Those who knew the times were the heroes.
The bright sword flew towards Qin Mengyao, and Chen Xu stood beside her. He instantly straightened his waist and arched his back. The thin body under his loose clothes seemed to be full of strings, ready to go like an eagle fighting a rabbit.
"careful!"
At the same time, Yang Yunrui issued a warning.
Qin Mengyao came to her senses but was not panicked. She stretched out her sleeve with her slender hand and clasped her sword body in the lightning. As soon as an expert took action, she knew if she had it. As a disciple of the Jianyue Sect, Mengyao's realm was several levels higher than Ling Ri.
Chen Xu was slightly surprised and exclaimed at Mengyao in his heart. He felt that this girl was both civil and military. As a man who wanted to pursue her, he felt "Alexander".
"Miss Mengyao, Yang is reckless and frightened."
Yang Yunrui came over to apologize, and he glanced at Chen Xu with a meaningful look.
"My sister Mengyao's kung fu is getting better and better, so she has to work hard."
"Sister Yuehua makes fun of her little sister, but she doesn't dare to show off her skills."
Qin Mengyao handed the sword to the servants of Ling Mansion. She looked at Ling Yuehua and his wife with some envy. Sister Yuehua found Ruyi Langjun, where is her husband?
Listening to the conversation between the two women, Chen Xu finally understood what it means to fight openly and secretly. Sometimes men really cannot understand creatures like "women".
"Sword...Sword...Where is my sword?" Ling Ri narrowed his eyes and looked for the sword. The servant held the sword in both hands and sent it to him. The second young master is worthy of being a "simple" person. He is thick-skinned than the city wall. He took the sword as if nothing had happened: "Brother-in-law, I have to criticize you. How can you be distracted on the battlefield? If I hadn't just retracted most of my strength in time, how could you stand here without any injuries?"
Yang Yunrui: “…”
A person who is so humble is invincible!
Yang Yunrui was not easy to turn against his brother-in-law, but Ling Yuehua couldn't bear it. In front of so many people, she was embarrassed to admit that the "shameless thing" in front of her was her brother.
"Sister, how many moves can you do under your brother-in-law?"
Ling Yuehua didn't expect that her younger brother would ask this question. Of course, she could not weaken her husband's reputation. She said the truth: "It won't exceed ten moves."
Ling Ri's confidence once again expanded. He had just calculated it roughly, and the two of them fought for more than fifty moves - of course he would not admit that Yang Yunrui only defended but not attacked - his sister could not take over the ten moves of her brother-in-law, was there any need to be afraid of her?
"You!" Ling Ri pointed at Chen Xu and said, "Do you dare to compete with me?"
Chen Xu looked at Ling Ri and Ling Yuehua, and he stretched out his hand at her.
"What's the meaning?"
"One hundred taels." Chen Xu pointed at Ling Ri again, "He drove me into the pond yesterday and wanted to provoke it today..."
"Would you please be chased by the dog?" Ling Ri protested.
“Same.”
Ling Ri: "…"
"I don't care if you give me one hundred taels of silver, otherwise I'm afraid I can't stop it if I start."
Ling Yuehua, Qin Mengyao and others focused on Chen Xu. They thought his words were really arrogant. Although Ling Ri was a bastard, after all, he had been in Jianyue Sect for several years. In terms of weight alone, the two were not on the same order of magnitude; Yang Yunrui remained silent, not everyone was as unreasonable as his brother-in-law.
"Wow..." Ling Ri screamed in anger, "Don't be crazy in front of your Grandpa Ling. Don't say you can beat me. As long as you can walk twenty moves under my hands, I will recognize you as your eldest brother."
