It has been a while since the young man finished reading this article.
But there were still not many people in the square. Except for some unlearned dignitaries who were looking around and novices helping each other to discuss whether this article was great or not, everyone with some knowledge was silent in shock.
【Ancient scholars must have teachers. 】
[Teacher, that’s why you preach, teach, and resolve doubts! 】
[That’s why there is neither noble nor humble, neither long nor young. Where the Tao exists, the teacher exists! 】
[The ancient saints were also far away from others, and they still asked if they were teachers. Today's people are also far away from the saints, and they are ashamed to learn from their teachers. 】
[There is a succession of people who have learned the Tao, and there are specialties in the arts. 】
Words of wisdom, like the sincere teachings of the heaven and earth, told them the importance of being a teacher. Underneath the calm tone, there were turbulent emotions hidden.
They also fully understood why Mr. Lu’s article had to be ranked second.
An impromptu, well-organized article cannot be compared with such a profound and enlightening masterpiece.
If the previous article written by Mr. Lu is like a courtesan in a certain city, which is eye-catching and close to the heart, this article by Mr. Xia is like a royal concubine, luxurious, dignified, dignified and upright. One can only admire him.
Xu Dapeng turned his head and glanced at those people, but unexpectedly did not say "chase".
But what was even more unexpected was that those few moves took the initiative to hand over to Xu Dapeng, "Brother, we were careless before. I don't know that Mr. Xia is so talented and learned, so scary and offensive, so I hope Haihan.”
Xu Dapeng waved his hand magnanimously, "Don't blame those who don't know. Gao Yang's abilities are indeed incredible, and we were deeply impressed."
"Hang! Hang!"
Just when a few people turned their hostility into friendship and were humble to each other, Mr. Bai suddenly coughed twice.
Those few people were stunned for no apparent reason, and Xu Dapeng said with a concerned look on his face: "Mr. Bai, have you caught the cold and have a discomfort in your throat?"
Bai Yunbian rolled his eyes silently and ignored him.
Mr. Kongbi spoke slowly and broke the silence, "This article first uses the past and the present as a comparison to explain that being ashamed to learn from a teacher is contrary to the teachings of the saints. Saints and fools are in this shame to learn from a teacher. The saints become more holy, and the fools become more holy. The more it gets better. Then, the current situation of people in the world knowingly choosing teachers to teach their children, but at the same time not respecting teachers and teachings, points out the absurdity of world affairs. Finally, it uses the witch doctors, musicians and musicians to compare with the world's scholars. Differentiation, with its contrast, points out the fallacy of scholars. Layer-by-layer comparisons and repeated arguments. Although the length is not long, its meaning is profound and broad, its arguments are clear, its structure is rigorous, and its reasoning is thorough. Its writing style is steep and impassioned. , Xia Xiaoyou has this foundation, he is worthy of "
"Ahem!" Mr. Linxi suddenly coughed twice.
But Mr. Kongbi, unlike Xu Dapeng and others, realized immediately that some of his words seemed to be complimentary, but in fact they were flattering, and they would make countless enemies for Xia Jingyun, not to mention that spring was coming, and he had to be careful in everything, so he was about to say it He changed his words and smiled, "I am the first person to ask this question. Do you have any objections?"
Everyone shook their heads in unison, convinced.
Just then, a voice shouted: "I have an opinion!"
Everyone turned their heads subconsciously, even Xia Jingyun and Dongfang Bai looked over.
A dignitary stood up and said, "Mr. Linxi just now said that Mr. Lu's last answer was not in the person of Prince Linjiang, so he was given a points deduction. Then this article was written directly in the name of Mr. Xia, wouldn't it be wrong?" Even more inappropriate? Why not deduct points from it?"
After saying that, he glanced at the British father-in-law, his eyes seeming to say: My father-in-law, look, am I making a good excuse? If he doesn't use any tricks, I can still find a way to deal with him. I'll do the work, don't worry!
Mr. Kongbi stroked his beard and said, "My question is only about my opinion and does not involve specific implementation methods. There is no such error or omission in this volume. But what you said makes sense. In order to convince the public, the Jiaodong County Prince and Xia Xiao Please deduct some points from your answer sheet as appropriate."
The powerful man nodded with joy, and then looked at Mr. Kongbi in astonishment, who had no follow-up words, "Then what?"
Xu Dapeng couldn't help but muttered: "What the heck! As for Gao Yang's article, even if half of the points are deducted, he still deserves to be the leader!"
Lu Lifeng's ears turned red, and the British father couldn't help but angrily yelled, "How can you question Mr. Kongbi? I am convinced. You are so excited! Go back and sit down!"
The little powerful man was startled, and immediately knew that something was wrong. He did something bad with good intentions, and fell back to his seat in despair.
The prince glanced at the British Duke with a half-smile but said nothing.
Mr. Kongbi said in a rough voice: "Since there are no more objections, I will settle this matter."
Everyone in the square was speechless.
Mr. Linxi took over the conversation with a smile, "You don't need to be discouraged. The excellent answers selected for the two questions just now are just a reference. Which five talents will stand out in the end will be revealed after three more questions. I will wait for details. After careful discussion and unified consideration, the answers to the previous two questions are not completely adopted. Even the prince of Jiaodong County has the worry of not being chosen. Therefore, your next answer must be based on your heart and do not try to guess. Our will is self-defeating."
After saying that, he turned to look at Mr. Wan Lin, smiled and nodded. Mr. Wan Lin, who was always taciturn, said, "Prince of Jiaodong County and Prince of Linjiang County, before I let you answer the question, can I ask you a question first?"
Dongfang Bai and Dongfang Tai quickly stood up from the table, bowed respectfully, and said in unison: "Excuse me, sir."
Xia Jingyun gritted his teeth at the sight. The prince's education was really not something to boast about. It was hard to say what kind of human nature he would become. His etiquette and demeanor alone were indeed unparalleled in the world.
One is five and a half years old, and the other is six years old. They are much more educated and sensible than the country boys in their teens.
"Don't be nervous, my question is very simple."
Mr. Wan Lin said with a smile: "I would like to ask you, if you two were asked to make a wish, what would you wish for?"
When His Highness the Crown Prince heard this, he squinted his eyes slightly, and a light seemed to pass through his eyes.
"Mr. Wan Lin!" The British gentleman couldn't sit still and stood up immediately.
Mr. Wan Lin waved his hand with a smile, "The British Lord is worried too much, childish words, your Majesty, I will personally explain it, I guess His Highness won't care, right?"
He looked at the prince with a smile, and the prince smiled and said: "This is natural. Children's words are unbridled. Who can hold accountable the words of a five- or six-year-old child? They are orphaned younger brothers. Except for the father, who has any opinion about my own actions?" I will protect you!"
"His Royal Highness is magnanimous and worthy of being the crown prince of a country." Mr. Wan Lin cupped his hands, and then said to the two children: "Go on, tell me, you two can answer according to your heart."
Dongfang Tai, who has always been unwilling to lag behind, said directly: "May the world be peaceful and safe, and may my father be in good health! The three gentlemen may live a long life!"
The Englishman breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down and immediately realized that he had lost his composure just now, and he was so stupid that he didn't admit it, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed.
"Hahahaha! I have heard for a long time that the Prince of Linjiang County is very talented, but today I saw that he is indeed extraordinary." Mr. Wan Lin stroked his beard and smiled, "But these are three wishes!"
But he did not criticize harshly, nor did he let Dongfang Tai answer again. Instead, he looked at Dongfang Bai, "Prince of Jiaodong County, what about you?"
Dongfang Bai turned his head and glanced at Xia Jingyun, and Mr. Wan Lin said directly: "This question can only be answered by yourself. You can't ask others!"
Dongfang Bai thought for a while and said with a bitter smile: "As a prince, the student has a distinguished status and adequate food and clothing. His father is in the prime of life and his mother and concubine are in good health. He has no other wishes."
He paused, "But since the teacher mentioned it, the student remembered that my mother-in-law once talked about her childhood and her visit to relatives, so I would like to use a sentence that my uncle once casually said as my wish. Well, the student thinks it is quite good."
Xia Jingyun was stunned, and quickly searched in his mind for words he had said in front of Dongfang Bai that could be used.
With so little time together, he easily locked into a scene.
That was after Concubine De sent Aunt Yuan to deliver Dongfang Bai to the Hou Mansion yesterday. Aunt Yuan "questioned" Feng Xiuyun on behalf of Concubine about the progress of the new mansion managed by Feng Xiuyun for Xia Jingyun. Xia Jingyun smiled and saved his woman. He said that he took the initiative to say it slowly and tidied it up, and that he didn't care about the high-end mansion. But when it came to talking about it, he wanted to think about another thing more, and immediately said something bald.
And Dongfang Bai was being held in his hand at that time.
He couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, quite unbelievable. This kid couldn't be such a monster, could he?
And Dongfang Bai, who was standing next to the case, babbled a few words as if talking to himself, as if he had sorted out his thoughts, and became more courageous. He said loudly to Mr. Wan Lin: "The students' wishes will be fulfilled." Yes. With tens of thousands of mansions, it will make all the poor people in the world happy!"
