Yang Anxuan also did not expect the speed at which the song "Farewell" would spread. Within a few days, not only the farewell outside the city, but also the singing in brothels, even the children playing in the streets and alleys could hum a few lines of "Beyond the long pavilion, beside the ancient road".
There was an endless stream of prostitutes coming to visit, asking for new words, and the conditions were more generous than the last.
After Yang Anxuan politely refused, he began to change from asking for large sums of money to coercion and inducement, and then to treating him with food and drinks to win friendship, or to bullying and beauties.
Yang Anxuan was really disturbed, so he simply moved out of the inn and rented a house in Xiaochanggan, five miles south of the city.
The house has three entrances and more than twenty houses. There is a mountain in the backyard and bamboo on the mountain. It's not as luxurious as the city, but the green stream in front of the door and the small courtyard with stone walls are better than the beauty and quietness.
The yard was big enough, and Yang Anxuan liked it very much. He discussed with the owner and spent one hundred and twenty-six taels of gold to buy it, and he settled down in Jiankang City.
Along with the house, he bought a hundred acres of farmland and twenty-six acres of mulberry forest. The house was big enough and needed people to take care of it, and the fields needed to be cultivated. Yang Anxuan ordered Hu Yuan to buy servants and maids from the market.
The Eastern Jin Dynasty implemented a tax deed system, and all purchases and sales of houses, slaves, horses, cattle, and fields were subject to tax. For transactions worth ten thousand yuan, the tax was 400, the seller paid 300, and the buyer paid 100. Hu Yuan and Yang Huai were free to take care of these trivial matters.
In a blink of an eye, the 26th came and Yang Anxuan entered Guozixue under the guidance of Yin Dun. Yin Dun Lao Ma knows the way and gives guidance and introductions along the way.
First, he went to the Chongwen Hall to pay homage to his late teacher Kong Sheng and other sages. Yin Dun led Yang Anxuan to the official mansion on the right and looked for the assistant teacher on duty to sign in the register.
"...Jiu Yin Mao, Dr. Che Yin; and ten teaching assistants. Many people came to enroll today. There are two teaching assistants in the official residence. Yin Dun said softly: "The one with the yellow beard on the left side is Assistant teacher Yan Ning teaches "Gongyang", and the one on the right is He Xiu who teaches "Mao Shi". "
Yang Anxuan saw that there were fewer people on Yan Ning's side, so he lined up on the left. There are official documents from the Ministry of Personnel and transfers issued by the state and county, and the registration list is very fast.
When Yang Anxuan arrived, Yan Ning saw the name and comments on the official document, raised his head and said: "You are Xinye Yang Anxuan, 'Feng Shen Xiuche, outstanding, both civil and military talents, can be called a pillar', this comment is incredible."
When He Xiu heard the words Yang Anxuan, he immediately turned his head to look at Yang Anxuan.
He had intended to embarrass himself with the song "Sheng Hua Ju Dou" a few days ago, but unexpectedly, Che Yin, Ji Bao, Zhao Ya and others greatly praised the new song. Later, everyone sang in chorus, which made his purpose failed.
Afterwards, Chen Zhi inevitably looked ugly, and He Xiu felt guilty that he had been entrusted and failed to achieve his goal, so he asked his assistant Gan Xiang to change the duty, thinking that when Yang Anxuan came to school on the 26th, he would look for an opportunity to embarrass him.
Compared with other scholars, Yang Anxuan stood tall and majestic, less frail and more heroic.
He Xiu secretly praised, stood up, came to Yang Anxuan, and said with a smile: "You are Yang Anxuan. Shenghuaju Douqu wrote the farewell words, and now they are sung all over the capital."
Many people didn't know that the farewell message was written by Yang Anxuan. Yan Ning was pleasantly surprised and said: "'A pot of turbid wine will make you happy, don't sleep in the cold tonight' was written by you, it simply spoke to my heart..."
Seeing the excitement on Yan Ning's face, He Xiu hurriedly cut him off and said, "What I'm teaching is Mao Shi (2). The Book of Songs is the source of poetry. The new words you wrote are a bit deviant."
Yan Ning said disapprovingly: "Although this word does not match the rhythm, it is very consistent with the song. It expresses one's heart directly and is catchy. It is the first of its kind."
He Xiudao: "Yang Anxuan, you are famous for your poetic talent. Let me ask you, in "Morning Breeze", what is the meaning of 'The morning wind is blowing, the northern forest is gloomy. I haven't seen a gentleman, I am worried about myself. How, what, how, there is so much selflessness'?"
This is a sentence from "The Book of Songs * Qin Feng", consisting of three paragraphs. On the surface, it seems that the woman misses her husband, but in fact, many of the poems in the Book of Songs have hidden meanings.
Yang Anxuan did not answer in a hurry, but cupped his hands and said, "Sir, what is your surname?"
"He Xiu, He Shangxing." He Xiu was short and tried hard to raise his head and straighten his body to make himself look taller.
"Mr. He is polite," Yang Anxuan said calmly: "Today is the registration of new students, not the teacher's lecture. It seems inappropriate to ask questions at this time. Don't delay other people's admission."
He Xiu concluded that Yang Anxuan did not know the true meaning of "Morning Breeze" and said with a smile: "You have been rated by Zhongzheng as 'Fengshen Xiuche, outstanding, talented in both civil and military affairs, and can be called a pillar.' Among them, your rank is the highest. If you can’t answer the question, this high-ranking person would be deceiving others.”
Yang Anxuan initially thought that He Xiu was just happy to see him and wanted to examine his own knowledge. But now he saw that He Xiu's rude words made him suspicious. I have never met He Xiu before, so why is he pressing forward every step of the way?
Yan Ning smoothed things over and said, "Brother He, Yang Anxuan is right. You should leave the examination of his knowledge to the lecture hall. Today is really inappropriate."
A student nearby knew this poem and laughed at the opportunity and said: "You are the Wei Xu of Anyi in Hedong Province." The "Morning Wind" that Mr. He asked about literally means that a woman misses her husband. In fact, it is a mockery of Duke Kang of Qin for forgetting Duke Mu's achievements. How could he abandon his virtuous ministers?"
As Wei Xu spoke, he glanced at Yang Anxuan triumphantly. He Xiu nodded in approval: "Wei Xu is right. Chenfeng's original intention was indeed to ridicule Kang Gong, and Zheng Gong mentioned it in the "Biography of Mao's Poems"."
"I don't even know the simple meaning of this. I really don't know how I got this top grade?" Someone stabbed in a non-yinful tone.
He Xiu stroked his beard and looked at Yang Anxuan with a smile on his face. He was secretly proud of himself. Even if you can write a few good poems, you will still be manipulated by me when you get to Guozixue.
Surrounded by smiling faces with malicious intentions, Yang Anxuan knew that if he didn't fight back, he might not be able to hold his head high in Guozixue in the future.
"Brother Wei only said one, do you know the second and the third?" Yang Anxuan said enigmatically.
Wei Xu was stunned for a moment and wrote everything down in his mind without missing anything. Wei Xu said angrily: "Don't lie to others. There are no second or third reasons. If you can tell me, I will obey you."
Yang Anxuan looked at He Xiu and said, "Mr. He, do you think Chenfeng has other intentions?"
He Xiu was asked. The meaning of morning breeze that he knew also came from Zheng Xuan's "Biography of Mao's Poems". There was no other meaning in this book.
I was secretly upset in my heart, if Yang Anxuanzhen told me the second and third things, I would lose face.
Those who can enter the Guozi School are all children from wealthy families. Of course, they will not take the teaching assistant seriously. Some people ridiculed: "Maybe Mr. He doesn't know about it."
He Xiu's face turned red and she said sternly: "There is only one meaning of the morning breeze. If you can name the second and third, the Book of Songs will count you as a pass."
There are ten classics in Guozi's studies. Those who master one classic are called disciples. Those who master two classics are called "disciples". Those who master three classics are promoted to princes and others.
Under normal circumstances, it takes two to three years to master the Second Classic. It takes three years to master the Three Classics. It takes two years after becoming a scholar to master the Four Classics. It takes another two years to master the Four Classics to teach a doctor to master the Five Classics. In this way Calculated, even if it is successfully passed, it will take more than ten years.
However, Guozixue existed in name only. How could those nobles' children really devote themselves to studying the scriptures? Most of them would just hang around for a few years and become officials by relying on the clan's operation.
Yang Anxuan accepted it and said with a smile: "Morning Breeze" uses a woman's voice to describe the feeling of abandonment, which is similar to the feeling of abandonment by a minister when he sees his king, and when a scholar sees that he abandons his friends. Brother Wei's description of Duke Kang's forgetfulness of his father Mu cannot be ignored. Appoint wise ministers."
Yan Ning said: "Yes, this explanation is clear and gets to the point."
"Second, I foolishly thought that "Morning Wind" meant Duke Mu of Qin's repentance."
"Absurd" and "nonsense", He Xiu and Wei Xu denounced them at the same time.
Laughter came from behind and said: "Hey, there is still something like this. It's very interesting. Let's talk about it."
Everyone looked back and saw a tall old man, wearing a three-beam Jinxian crown and a yellow silk robe, standing in front of the door with a smile.
"Dr. Che", "Hou Che", people who knew him exclaimed.
Yan Ning and He Xiu led the students to come forward and salute. Che Yinxu helped him and said, "No courtesy, no courtesy. I have free time today to come to Guozixue to see the new students. I didn't expect to hear such an interesting argument."
Che Yin pointed at Yang Anxuan and asked, "Who are you?"
"Hongnong Yang Anxuan has met Che Gong." Yang Anxuan bowed deeply.
"Oh, you are Yang Anxuan." Che Yin looked at Yang Anxuan with wide eyes and said: "The song "Farewell" written by Shenghualou made me cry a lot. My tears are precious. A drop of tear is worth a pot at least. Wine. I heard that you won a lot of gold at Shenghuaju, so I can’t afford to miss out on my wine money.”
"I'm just afraid that the driver won't appreciate it."
He Xiu smiled stiffly and secretly complained in his heart. If Che Yin didn't come, he could still rely on his status as an assistant to suppress Yang Anxuan, but now he could only act according to the situation.
"Yang Anxuan, I would like to hear your repentance from Duke Mu." Che Yin stroked his beard and said, "If you can't answer the question, you won't be able to drink this wine."
Yang Anxuan said calmly: "This is in contrast to the Oath of Qin in the Book of Documents. Duke Mu of Qin was defeated by Duke Xiang of Jin in the Battle of Chu, and he regretted writing the Oath of Qin. He repeatedly sang 'Worry' in the Morning Wind, That’s what it means.”
Che Yin pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "It makes sense, it's the second one. Let me listen to you talk about the third one."
Seeing that Che Yin agreed with Yang Anxuan's second argument, He Xiu felt depressed. He said in public that if Yang Anxuan could come up with the second and third arguments, his "Mao Poems" would be passed and he would be given the opportunity to embarrass him.
"The third is to assassinate Duke Mu and abandon the three good things." Yang Anxuan raised his voice and chanted: "I have never seen a gentleman, and I am so worried that I am drunk. No matter what, I am so selfless."
There was silence in the official residence. Yin Dun looked at Yang Anxuan with admiration. Anxuan was three years younger than him, but his knowledge was much better than his own.
Che Yin broke the silence and said: "The three chapters of "Morning Wind" make sense. Yang Anxuan, where did you learn it?"
Yang Anxuan secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, when he was a graduate student in his previous life, he took the analysis of the meaning of "The Book of Songs" as his graduation thesis and studied "Morning Wind", otherwise he would have to show his cowardice.
"Che Gong, I loved hunting when I was in Luoyang. I met a Taoist priest of the Song Dynasty who was watching the field outside Luoyang City. We often drank and chatted together. I heard these words from the Taoist priest of the Song Dynasty." Yang Anxuan thought to himself, anyway, "Tiangong Kaiwu" I gave it to Taoist Song. If you have many debts, you won’t have to worry about it. Let this Taoist Song do more work if he is capable.
Che Yin sighed: "It is the prime minister's fault that wise men are in the wilderness. Yang Anxuan, it is a blessing for you to have this opportunity, so cherish it."
Facing the people in the official hall, Che Yin spoke earnestly and sincerely: "The Book of Rites - Doctrine of the Mean" says: Learn extensively, interrogate carefully, think carefully, discern clearly, and practice diligently. This is the way of learning. Today Yang Anxuan will give a lecture on "Morning Breeze" "The three meanings are erudition, broad thinking, and clear discernment. You encourage them."
Everyone bowed in response.
Che Yin looked at Yang Anxuan and said with a smile: "I heard that you once said when you were criticizing Zhongzheng, 'Read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, and make friends all over the world.' .”
