Chapter 95.

The 29th year of Hongwu, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month...

As the annual Shangyuan Festival, today's Poyang County is more lively than the previous few days.

If the past few days were just decorated with lights and alleys, then now people are coming and going happily.

Early in the morning, the girl Chunmei and Qiuju ran to Guanxiang Pavilion to find Liu Wenyang, muttering that she wanted to go shopping in the streets, guess riddles, and watch fireworks in the evening.

Liu Wenyang was unwell and refused the dinner. This made Chunmei and Qiuju very unhappy. However, the one who was even more unhappy was Xiao Tong Mingyue.

Originally, he was young and liked the fun. He originally planned to go out for a trip tonight, buy some delicious and fun things, and take them home for his sister later.

But I didn't expect the young master to get sick, and I didn't expect him to not go out.

Seeing that the stars were out of their minds all day long, who was Liu Wenyang, he immediately understood the boy's thoughts and said with a smile: "If you want to go out, just go out to play by yourself. You can accompany Chunmei Qiuju, just don't stretch your face and make a sad and sad!"

"Young Master, how can you say that? I came with you to take care of you. How could you run out to play alone when you are sick?" Mingyuexian said with great righteousness.

"This is what you said, don't blame me then." Liu Wenyang smiled and ignored him.

Liu Wenyang was resting in Guanxiang Pavilion, but Chun Shisanniang was secretly setting up people to welcome the arrival of the crown prince Zhu Yunwen.

However, before Zhu Yunwen arrived, the first person who appeared was a great man, Zhu Yunwen’s teacher, Fang Xiaoru!

This man was smart and smart at the age of 6. He was very talented. He was called "Little Hanzi". At the age of 15, he followed his father and brother north to Jining. He was inspired to study and was promoted to Song Lian. He was highly valued. In the 15th year of Hongwu, Wu Chen, a great scholar of Dongge, and others recommended Fang Xiaoru. He was sent to Beijing. He wrote two poems "Gingerchid" and "Nanlu" at Fengtianmen, which were very consistent with the above. When he was given a banquet, the Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang intended to make a few tilts and try his best to be a person. Fang Xiaoru was upright and then sat down. Zhu liked his dignified manner. He was knowledgeable and wanted to assist his descendants in the future. He sent him back to his hometown with great gifts.

In the next ten years, he read and wrote at home, writing "The Book of Changes" and "The Song Literature's Essays". At the age of 31, his enemy's family disputed, and his poems were Lian Xiaoru. The government registered his family and arrested him in Beijing for crimes. Zhu Yuanzhang saw Xiaoru's name and released his special name. Because Fang Xiaoru insisted on implementing benevolent government, he first transformed virtue and then political punishment; while Taizu advocated governing the country with fierceness and using severe punishment and severe laws to control the officials and the people. Therefore, he did not use Fang Xiaoru more. In the 25th year of Hongwu, he was recommended again and was appointed as a professor of Hanzhong Prefecture. He was deeply appreciated by King Xian of Shu and hired as a prince teacher.

It can be said that as a famous scholar of the Ming Dynasty today, Fang Xiaoru's reputation can be said to be at its peak. Whether it is the old emperor Zhu Yuanzhang or the ministers below, they are all courteous to him.

When Fang Xiaoru first arrived in Poyang County, he was arranged in an inconspicuous courtyard by Chun Shisanniang and the local government.

This courtyard was originally a place where a noble official in the previous dynasty built for his son to study, but now it has become a very good reception. It is just because the courtyard is simple and graceful and unique ingenious, and it is the place where scholars all over the world live.

"Reading Seeds" like Fang Xiaoru couldn't help but fall in love with such a place, and said that the local officials were interested.

As the Qianhu, the Jinyiwei stationed in Poyang County, Chun Shisanniang of course also came to visit this legendary "imperial teacher" in order to build a good relationship and have a connection in the future when the dynasty changes.

Chun Shisanniang was sincere, but Fang Xiaoru didn't like the Jinyiwei. Especially as an orthodox scholar, he cultivated the righteousness of the world and disliked the Jinyiwei, which was the most homicide in the dark corner. Therefore, Fang Xiaoru refused Chun Shisanniang's visit, which was very disrespectful.

Although Chun Shisanniang knew that others did not like her, or that she did not like her identity as the Jinyiwei, Fang Xiaoru was the imperial teacher. This time, she represented the emperor's grandson as the pioneer. She had to meet before she could arrange her future reception work. Therefore, Chun Shisanniang tried every means to open up the old stubborn joint. What should I do? Suddenly, Chun Shisanniang remembered Liu Wenyang.

In the Ming Dynasty, the art of divination and divination is highly valued. Whether it is the old emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, the princes and grandsons, and even the people in the Dawn, they all believe in fate. There are even masters of fortune telling as officials in the court, and this fortune telling is mostly derived from the "Book of Changes".

Fang Xiaoru considered himself an orthodox scholar and of course he had a lot of experience in the "Book of Changes", but he always believed that divination and fortune-telling were tricks and tricks. When teaching the Emperor Taisun's studies, he also scolded this technique of observing appearance three or four times for being a "poisoning technique" and must not be taken seriously.

So Chun Shisanniang asked her about this and told her to know a master of Guanxiang. I wonder if Professor Fang would dare to meet him!

There are very tricks here. If Chun Shisanniang said in a pleading tone that Fang Xiaoru and Guan Xiang met Master, Fang Xiaoru would have refused him by relying on his special identity. However, Chun Shisanniang's tone was aggressive, and the word "dare" was particularly serious, which made Fang Xiaoru respond immediately, why didn't you dare to lead the so-called master to come before?

Liu Wenyang would never have thought that he was sick and was treated as a pawn for the layout by Chun Shisanniang.

It was not until Chun Shisanniang came with a smile and said that there was a business coming to the door and that Liu Wenyang needed to work hard that Liu Wenyang realized that he had a great rest today.

...

Chun Shisanniang did not tell Liu Wenyang who was going to meet, and Liu Wenyang did not ask. The main reason was that Chun Shisanniang gave 500 taels of money. Liu Wenyang is a jealous person. As long as you can afford the fee, no matter whether you are a monkey or a pig, he doesn't care.

When he came to this courtyard with the words "Yingxue Pavilion", Liu Wenyang met the famous Fang Xiaoru in a study room.

Fang Xiaoru was drinking tea, sitting upright on a chair, looking old-fashioned and serious.

Liu Wenyang felt that no matter who this guy was, he should be directly placed on the altar. Damn, the airs are too big.

Drinking tea, I don't even look at myself.

What is this called?

look steadily forward?

Or look down on others?!

Liu Wenyang felt extremely unhappy. On the surface, he had to look humble and polite, hold his fists and bow, and said, "Liu Wenyang, I have seen the old man!"

It’s just that harmony makes money, so there is no need to be a general experience with such a big shot.

When Fang Xiaoru saw Liu Wenyang speaking, he looked at Liu Wenyang with his eyelids. The first impression was that it was pretty good, he looked very gentle and delicate, not the kind of person with a deer-headed and mouse-eyed look.

Liu Wenyang didn't know that he had taken advantage of the handsome appearance, otherwise he would have been invited by this great god to see him off.

"Are you the legendary little Liu Shenxiang?" Fang Xiaoru asked at Liu Wenyang.

Liu Wenyang clasped his fists again and bowed, "I dare not take the appearance of God, it is just a story about those people in the world who love each other."

Seeing that he was like this, Fang Xiaoru had a better impression of him. He could understand humility and could teach him.

"I am also very curious about the Bagua numerology and have a little knowledge of the "Book of Changes", but I don't know if you can tell me what is the image of heaven and earth, and what is the appearance of heaven and earth?"

A sentence or a word difference made Liu Wenyang tell a difference. This old guy is too good at judging words.

Liu Wenyang gently wished the old guy a stroke as soon as possible, and said in his mouth: "The image of heaven and earth is the changes in the weather, the world, the clouds, fog, thunder, lightning, and the spring, summer, frost and winter solstice are all the images of heaven and earth!"

"As for the appearance of heaven and earth, it is the ministers of heaven and earth, the sage king is the wise ruler, and the world is peaceful; the monarch is confused, and the world is in chaos. Therefore, there are peace and chaos in heaven and earth."

Liu Wenyang said so much in one breath, thinking to himself, this is not the imperial examination, right?

Unexpectedly, the old guy suddenly laughed and said to Liu Wenyang: "But Er, can you also be called the word "Divine Figure?" His words were full of contempt and contempt.

Although Liu Wenyang was very well-educated, he could not resist being ridiculed by the other party. He couldn't help but ask, "So, what is the image of heaven and earth and the appearance of heaven and earth?"

Fang Xiaoru didn't say anything, just picked up his nails and took a drop of tea, then wrote a "one" on the table, and then said to Liu Wenyang: "This is the image of heaven and earth and the appearance of heaven and earth!"
