Zhang Heng looked at Zhang Yue with a bad expression.
Zhang Yue cupped his hands and said, "Zhaizhang, I'm sending a manuscript to Xuelu. I happened to be passing by Zhoujin Hall, and I couldn't help but forget to leave after hearing Mr.'s witty words."
"Really?" Zhang Heng sneered, "You can stay here, I think you are clearly..."
How could Zhang Yue be willing to argue with Zhang Heng? Even if he won the argument, he would lose his job. If he lost, he would be humiliated and lose his job again.
Zhang Yue saw the professor walking towards him to see what was going on, so he immediately turned away from Zhang Heng and stepped forward to salute the professor and said, "I'd like to ask for your forgiveness, sir!"
The professor lifted the curtain, walked slowly to the steps, glanced at Zhang Yue, and asked, "Who are you?"
This forgetfulness...
Zhang Heng said: "Mr. Qichen, this person is a servant in the library. He was noticed by the students eavesdropping next to the Zhoujin Hall."
The professor said: "Oh, is this really true?"
Zhang Yue first saluted, and then said with an expression of admiration: "I'm new to the Book of Changes. I haven't found a way to get started. I just passed by here. I was so absorbed in listening to the old gentleman's lecture on the Book of Changes that I forgot where I was."
The professor smiled slightly when he heard this.
"As the saying goes, if you learn the truth in the morning, you will die in the evening! Please forgive me for any offense I may have caused."
The professor said: "I remember, that day you tried for the position of servant...were you hired later? Oh, I have no need to ask."
Zhang Yue......
Zhang Heng was obviously very aware of the professor's forgetfulness and saluted, "Professor, please let me handle this matter."
Zhang Heng serves as the chief of the restaurant, and the students take this position and then manage the students. This is practice.
Zhang Heng can indeed decide whether Zhang Yue stays or goes with one sentence. The professor could ignore it, but he was too lazy to be a director, so he was about to leave.
But Zhang Yue said again: "That day, Houxue was favored by the old gentleman and made an exception to leave this servant letter, so that he could make a living to support his family. So far, Houxue has never had a chance to thank me."
"And today I heard the old teacher preach again, and I remembered that the Master said, "Purify and refine, and the teachings of Yi". I looked carefully and found out that what the old teacher said was true. I couldn't help but suddenly became enlightened about what I had learned before. Today's teachings and explanations of doubts are better than those of the Master. I don’t know how to be grateful for the kindness I have given you to support your family.”
The professor didn't take it seriously when he heard this, but suddenly he remembered: Yes, my cousin mentioned to me recently that an interesting young man came to the library. Could it be him?
Zhang Heng sneered in his heart. He had seen many students sigh suddenly to attract attention, or ask the teacher for some difficult knowledge to show off their ability. Now he felt even more disgusted with Zhang Yue.
"Ziping, go and invite the library staff here!"
Zhang Heng said: "How dare such an eavesdropper delay my master's efforts... Yes, the student will go now."
After saying this, Zhang Heng glanced at Zhang Yue and then left.
After Zhang Heng left, the professor looked at Zhang Yue and asked, "Whose name do you have?"
Zhang Yue shook his head and said: "I only know that my husband's surname is Zhang. No one in Nanfeng Academy is familiar with me. On weekdays, apart from the official duties, no one talks to my senior brother. When I was in Wuxi, I only knew that there was a highly respected gentleman here."
The professor smiled gently.
"You come with me." The professor walked into the Zhoujin Hall as soon as he showed his sleeves.
Zhang Yue was stunned when he saw it, and immediately took off his hemp shoes and stepped in. Zhang Yue was in the Zhoujin Hall, but saw pavilions open on all sides. When the breeze came, the gauze swayed back and forth.
The birds outside the window looked curiously into the hall. The sweet-scented osmanthus in the courtyard withered silently and fell into the inkstone pool. The sun was just right at this time, and the windows in the hall were bright and clean. Twenty or thirty students, all wearing brocade clothes, were sitting on brocade mattresses, one by one, in front of the hall. In the center hangs a calligraphy written in large seal script: "Taoist, Mother of Heaven and Earth".
The calligraphy of Dazhuan has long been lost in the Song Dynasty. Who wrote it?
Zhang Yue stepped on the wooden board and noticed the looks from the students. He vaguely heard someone asking in a low voice, "Why doesn't this person wear socks?"
Zhang Yue blushed slightly when he heard this, but then straightened his chest and back and walked to the professor's side.
Footsteps were heard outside the hall, and Zhang Heng said: "Sir, someone is here."
"come in!"
But seeing the official duties, Guo Lin followed Zhang Heng into the hall one after another.
"Bo Yi, what did you call me to do?" The minister did not bow to the professor and stood there carelessly.
The professor smiled and looked at Zhang Yue who was standing aside.
Guo Lin, who was behind the minister, couldn't help but said, "Zhang Yue, aren't you going to deliver the manuscript? What are you doing here?"
Zhang Heng sneered: "Of course he came here to steal things..."
Guo Lin's expression changed and he said to Professor Zhang Heng without hesitation: "Professor, Chief of Staff, although my junior brother has acted a little recklessly, he is not a careless person."
Zhang Heng laughed and said, "Why did I say that he stole something? He just came to steal something, right?"
Guo Lin glanced at Zhang Yue, his face turned red with embarrassment, and he said timidly: "Junior brother has never seen the world, but he knows how to laugh..."
"Brother Cousin, what do you think?" the professor said.
The minister sat aside and said, "I thought it was such a big deal. This guy just passed by and listened to a few words, let alone using the word "stealing"."
Zhang Heng said: "Ministry, our Zhang family's disciples came from the school originally bought by Duke Xun, and did this young man pay the money? How is this different from taking without telling? What is it if it is not eavesdropping? Three Thousand Saints Disciples, there is no distinction between teachings, but it is also said that 'teachings are given to those who practice self-cultivation'."
The minister sneered and said: "It's okay if the chief of the restaurant has to call him "stealing". Kuang Heng is willing to cut through walls and steal the light in order to study. Isn't this stealing? It's okay to steal. "
"In the olden days of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jia Kui's sister, a famous Confucian scholar, heard that her neighbor was studying. She held Kui in her arms and listened to it across the fence day and night. I felt that the scholars next to Jia Kui asked her sister if she wanted to study."
Zhang Heng said calmly: "The minister thinks it's okay not to be allowed to practice, but I'm even more afraid that someone will take this as a name, and I have received the teacher's teachings in foreign language, and I have learned it in this day brocade hall, and I will use it on my face." Isn’t it an insult to your face to be a disciple? Our disciples also have a disgraceful face. What’s more, they cling to us in the name of fellow disciples and cheat outside...”
Guo Lin's face turned red when he heard this, and he repeatedly defended Zhang Yue: "My junior brother is not such a person."
"Okay, don't argue anymore," the professor said, "It is well known that Jia Kui's family is poor, but the rules in the courtyard must be established, and Ziping also does his duty as the chief of the prison."
The professor looked at Zhang Yue, who said nothing, but saw him standing in the hall with his bare feet and naked clothes.
He thought for a while and said to Zhang Yue: "If I blame you rashly, you will definitely be dissatisfied. Just now you said that you have studied Yi, and that the study of Yi is pure and subtle, so you passed by and listened for a few words. Then tell me what you want to do first." What’s the explanation for using nine in the hexagram?”
Hearing the professor's question, Zhang Yue recalled the lines of the Qian hexagram in his mind.
On the ninth day of the lunar month, do not use the hidden dragon (the dragon is in the water). On the twenty-ninth day, if you see the dragon in the field (the dragon is on the ground), it is the first line and the second line. This is equivalent to the dormant period of your career.
Among the six lines, the third and fourth lines are located in the middle. If they deviate from it, it is called "not three and not four". The Qian hexagram is the same as the Kun hexagram. In the changes from one to six lines, if the sixth line is too much, then the fifth line is the most prosperous.
The Qian hexagram is the Nine Five, the flying dragon is in the sky, and it is beneficial to see the adults (equivalent to the smoothest career of a person and the peak of power, so he is called the emperor with the Nine Five Supreme)
Ninety-six, the proud dragon has regrets (flying too high, it is too cold at high places).
The nine lines used in the Qian hexagram are: a group of dragons without a leader is auspicious.
There are hexagrams and linea in the Book of Changes.
It is rumored that the hexagrams were written by King Wen of Zhou and the Yao poems were written by Duke Zhou. There are also legends that both were written by King Wen of Zhou.
Each of the sixty-four hexagrams has six lines, corresponding to the six lines. However, both the Qian hexagram and the Kun hexagram have a seventh line, and the lines with an extra line are nine and six respectively.
The changes in the Six Yao range from the origin to the extreme of things, a total of six changes.
In terms of the Qian hexagram, the six lines are all yang lines, and the yang lines are called nine.
Zhang Heng sneered at the side: "Sir, how can this wild fox Zen be authentic?"
Zhang Yue thought to himself, what dynasty is this, and they still worship family and teacher traditions all day long, what's the use of writing books like this from Confucian scholars?
Zhang Yue said: "As a final test, among the sixty-four hexagrams, only the Qian hexagram and the Kun hexagram are both yang and yin. Therefore, the six lines are all yang, all are nine, and the six lines are all yin, all are six. Use Nine is a consistent line of six lines, all of which use nine or not."
"Use nine, a group of dragons without a leader, which is auspicious. It is to make those who practice the Qian hexagram never forget that heavenly virtue does not come first during the changes of the six lines. A gentleman is constantly striving to improve himself, not to dominate others, but to create good fortune for all things. For example, a teacher teaches a student , not to make students blindly follow me, but to hope that they will be better than others. What's the harm even if it is the Wild Fox Zen that I have cultivated? The so-called dragons without a leader means that everyone is like a dragon."
Zhang Yue's answer was like a slap on Zhang Heng's face.
Guo Lin, who was standing aside, looked at Zhang Yue with admiration. This answer was indeed an excellent one, and the metaphor was appropriate and just countered Zhang Heng's sarcasm about Ye Hu Chan.
The professor stroked his beard and nodded, looking at the minister aside with a smile in his eyes. The minister had an expression that said, "I've told you before and you don't believe it."
"How to use six to solve it?" The professor asked Zhang Yue again.
The meaning of using six is not to let you spend 666 wildly.
Yong Liu is the extra line in Kun hexagram and corresponds to Yong nine in Qian hexagram.
The Yin Yao has two horizontal lines, so there are six horizontal lines in the Kun hexagram. Therefore, the Yin Yao is called six, and the six Yao of Kun Gua are all Yin Yao.
Zhang Yue replied: "Use six to benefit Yong Zhen. Zhen is righteousness, and righteousness means integrity. No matter which line a gentleman is in among the six lines of the Kun hexagram, integrity and integrity are his foundation."
The old man was noncommittal when he heard the words. Compared with what he said in the book, there was nothing surprising.
Zhang Yue added: "Nine is used in the Qian hexagram, which means that heaven's virtue is not at the top. Six is used in the Kun hexagram, which means that the terrain is Kun. Although a gentleman has great virtues, he does not put himself at the bottom. An upright gentleman, if he persists in everything, , Although he is in the guest position, his heart is in the host position. Although his status is humble, he never humiliates himself. "
"It's just like eavesdropping at the end of learning, like the ancient Kuang Heng who cut through the wall to steal the light. The mediocre people laugh at it, but Heng and I don't laugh at ourselves."
When Zhang Yue said this, there was a buzzing sound below the school.
Zhang Heng was so angry that his chest heaved twice. Zhang Yue once again used scripture interpretation to slap him in the face, but at this moment he could not say that Zhang Yue was wrong.
The professor stroked his beard and thought deeply for a moment, then looked at Zhang Yue seriously and asked, "Did you realize this on your own?"
Zhang Yue glanced at the minister subconsciously, and then said: "It is indeed the humble opinion of the late scholar."
Guo Lin also understood that although Guo Xueguo taught Zhang Yue and recited the I Ching, these principles were never taught to him and he really understood them by himself. And Zhang Yue's ability to curse people in roundabout ways is also Zhang Yue's skill.
