Soon Xu Mingjin discovered that he was too happy.

He thinks of preaching and teaching: he teaches a sentence, and the other party learns a sentence. He explains it with a teacher's air, and the other party can only listen obediently.

True preaching and teaching: He teaches a sentence, Su Ying argues a sentence, he explains the words of a sage, Su Ying opens his mouth with a hundred thousand reasons, and he can always find different places to argue.

Xu Mingjin: "???"

...Is this guy really serious about studying?

No matter which era, the chain of cultural contempt is the most unbreakable. Respecting teachers has been a tradition since ancient times. Even a temporary teacher who imparts knowledge will receive enough courtesy.Xu Mingjin, who grew up immersed in poetry and books, naturally has a complete sense of superiority in front of a person who has never studied seriously.The other party disgusted him with his experience in raising pigs, but he wanted to convince others with his real knowledge.

If this is the original Li Sanlang, Xu Mingjin, who is willing to enlighten him, must be respectful and grateful. He has never studied, and he has sincere admiration and yearning for truly learned scholars.

Unfortunately, this body has changed owners.

Su Ying doesn't know the tradition of respecting teachers, nor does he have admiration and awe for scholars.To him, Xu Mingjin is just a tool to help him understand the world—isn’t the most important thing to understand a world is to understand its history and civilization?And they are hidden in the poems and books full of ancient philosophers' thoughts.

Although Su Ying can read books by himself, it is boring to be alone. Of course, it is more interesting to listen to Xu Mingjin's explanation.What's more, the exchange of feelings, of course, must be in the professional fields of both parties.

And Xu Mingjin is worthy of being one of the rare talented people in the elite circle of Shanghai. It is recognized in the academy that the top students who will surely gain fame after taking the college examination are very familiar with history and anecdotes, and they can also recite the words of sages within the scope of imperial examinations.

But no matter how good he is, his thinking has never escaped the shackles of the times. Everything he understands comes from the understanding of ancient books by the predecessors, and some of them are even the reprocessing and re-creation of the original author's thoughts by the predecessors.Feudal society has its own set of ethics and morality system.

In contrast, although Su Ying is not a philosopher or thinker, he has lived for a long time, and the scenery he has seen is far beyond ordinary people's imagination. His vision and knowledge are enough to crush everyone in the world.

Therefore, Xu Mingjin thought that Su Ying deliberately raised the bar and questioned deliberately, but the fact is that Su Ying used his own vision to see things that the dead ancients had never noticed, and discovered some thoughts and viewpoints that the predecessors had lagged behind.

Human society is always moving forward. From his perspective beyond the times, how can the sage's words, which are regarded as the standard by scholars in this era, be perfect and flawless iron rules?Even he, the so-called Lord of Qiyuntian, dare not say that everything he said is absolutely correct.

In this way, every time Xu Mingjin said a few words, Su Ying couldn't help interrupting, but the questions he asked were quite weighty, not purely nonsense, and Xu Mingjin, who was considered a scholar after all, could not simply and rudely refute, butSeriously think about how to respond, and after he finally brainstormed for a long time, this person started to ask other questions, which was even more difficult than "a hundred thousand whys".

For a while, the carriage was constantly filled with voices like this: "Did the sages really mean that?" "Of course they meant that!" "I think that's what they meant." "Should this sentence really be understood in this way?""I think the author is wrong, it should be like this..." "Ah, I think we should respect the author's ideas, he really didn't mean that!" "I don't want you to think, I want to think!"

Presumably, if those sages who wrote classics came back to life and refuted his words, Su Ying would throw the sentence "XX is a book writer, what do you know about "xxx"!" in the face.

——However, Su Ying's interpretations are all well-founded and convincing, to the extent that the author himself can't help but wonder if he really thought so when he was resurrected.

Xu Mingjin, who was distorted and delirious at the beginning, gradually fell into deep thought: Did the sages really think so?Could it be that the saint meant this?

No, no, what kind of sage's words does he know as a pig farmer!

...It must be all nonsense!

Xu Mingjin shook his head frantically, trying to get Su Ying's alternative interpretations out of his mind.

However, when he focused his eyes on the scroll in his hand and looked at the familiar words and sentences in the past, Su Ying's interpretation couldn't help popping up in his mind, no matter how he controlled it, it was useless...

Occasionally, even the original meaning of these words would be suddenly forgotten, and the words that popped up immediately were Su Ying's words.

Xu Mingjin: "..."

...Toxic, this guy is really poisonous!

If he was also in the same state when he took the college examination, it would be the rhythm of going to Sun Shan, who is famous and famous.

Thinking of this, Xu Mingjin suddenly became alert.

...Wait, isn't this the other party's purpose?

...Because he can't be as full of poetry and books as he is full of knowledge, why don't you just pull him who is full of poetry and books and knowledge to the same level as the mud legs???

Insidious, too insidious.

Xu Mingjin, who thought she understood everything, fell into deep thought.

After Su Ying left, Xu Mingjin, who had consumed so much brain power that he was drowsy, got up tenaciously and spread out his scroll: He wanted to erase all of Su Ying's heresies from his mind, and engrave the orthodox sage's words.Put it into your own DNA, and you must not let Mudleg's plot succeed!

But the next day, Su Ying came over with his scroll again.

Xu Mingjin really wanted to refuse.

However, he doesn't even want to do such a trivial thing as "enlighten the prince who has never read the book while reviewing the book", which will only make people think that the prince is trying to build a good relationship with him, but he doesn't want to get along with him.reason.What should the whole government think of him?Can he continue to stay in the Duke's Mansion?

——Could it be that the other party deliberately drove him away?To drive him away just after being recognized, seems narrow-minded, so deliberately make people think that he doesn't know how to praise?

Xu Mingjin, who had already turned Su Ying into a scheming monster, immediately became excited, and his heart was burning with fighting spirit - he would not lose to a country mud leg!

He was the one who underestimated the enemy before. In terms of playing tricks, how could he, who grew up in Shangjing, lose to a country boy with mud legs!

Looking at Su Ying who opened the book and asked him for advice with an innocent and lively smile, Xu Mingjin also smiled, and said word by word: "No, question, question, yes, what, what, no, understand, I—teach—You—ah!"

As a result, the familiar rhyme of arguing and a hundred thousand whys appeared again. Unknowingly, what Xu Mingjin engraved into his DNA after studying hard for several hours yesterday was once again covered by Su Ying's fallacies, and his eyes popped out.circle.

After Su Ying left, Xu Mingjin, who didn't believe in evil, took out the concentration and hard work before the imperial examination again, and worked hard to study for several hours, and then broke back the thought that was almost led astray.

Once again he carved the words of the saint into his DNA.

the third day...

day four...

fifth day...

Xu Mingjin finally had a fever amidst the repeated back and forth of "becoming into the shape of Su Ying unknowingly→studying hard to re-engrave the true sage's words into DNA".

It took half a month to go from Shangjing to Shanglin Village, but on the way back to Beijing, considering Xu Mingjin was injured, the speed of the team was already slower than when they came.Seeing that the capital was about to arrive, Xu Mingjin suddenly fell ill, and the group had to temporarily stop at the post station to find a doctor.

"The trauma has not healed, and the heart disease, lack of sleep, and hard work..." The doctor who took the pulse made a judgment based on Xu Mingjin's situation, "This young master's symptoms are like studying hard day and night, and his mind is hurting his body.There are traumatic injuries, and the mind is depressed, so I can't rest in peace..."

Speaking of this, the old doctor stroked his beard, and warned earnestly: "I have seen a few scholars who worked hard for the imperial examination and went early. They all have symptoms like yours. Young people, take care of your body!"He almost said a word, if this continues, you will follow in their footsteps.

Xu Mingjin already understood what the old doctor didn't say.

He was lying on the bed in the post station, drinking the bitter and astringent concoction, with a lot of thoughts in his feverish mind.

Suddenly, a light bulb lit up above his head.

...Could it be that this is the real purpose of that person?

It was neither to bring him down to the same uneducated level, nor to let him be kicked out by the Duke's Mansion because of his ignorance, but to delay his recuperation and make him feel hurt unconsciously.Died.

Taking advantage of his competitive spirit, which he refuses to lose to Mudlegzi, and his desire to stay in the Duke's Mansion, let him step into the trap set up and take the initiative to die... What, what is this?It's insidious and vicious!

Being regarded as a kidnapper and beaten severely, in Xu Mingjin's view, that guy did it on purpose, and there was no misunderstanding at all.But thinking about it now, it couldn't even be that the injury on his body was designed by the other party from the beginning, right?

He has always been in good health. If it weren't for the injuries on his body, that person's conspiracy would not have been so easy to succeed, at least he wouldn't have been lying on the bed in just a few days...

Thinking of this, Xu Mingjin shuddered violently.

In the dizzy burning head, one after another seemingly unbelievable, thoughtful and reasonable thoughts popped up.

Xu Mingjin felt for a while that he was thinking too much and didn't have so many plots, and at the same time felt that he didn't think too much, everything must have been calculated by that person...

No, one cannot, at least not should.

Looking at the bed curtain with complicated patterns above him, in his dizzy eyes, he felt that the patterns one after another seemed to have turned into twisted poisonous snakes, spitting out snake letters and crawling towards him.

The vase by the bed, the dry branches outside the window... Xu Mingjin was in a daze, and felt that everything he saw seemed to be someone's lurking murderous intent, everywhere.The atmosphere of terror suddenly filled.

Suddenly, there was a "squeak" in the quiet room.

The closed door was pushed open a crack, and Xu Mingjin, who was in a panic, almost jumped out of bed.

A figure looked around and sneaked in sneakily.

In the light coming in from the window, Xu Mingjin, who saw the real face of the man clearly, widened his eyes in surprise:

"It's you?!"
