After passing Yangcheng and walking southeast along the Yingshui River, you will reach Yangcui, which is the seat of Yingchuan County.
The closer to Yangcui, the more people there seemed to be, especially the scribes wearing Eguan and big sleeves, all of them hurried to the city. After Fei Qian caught him and asked, he found out that Xun Shuang was actually going to be there.
Xunjia Private School holds public classes!
This is an open class from the Eastern Han Dynasty!
Fei Qian immediately became interested and speeded up his journey to Yang Cui.
Xun Shuang was a great figure among the great men of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Xun Shuang was born in the "Yingchuan Xun family", a famous family in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Moreover, Xun Shuang was also a direct descendant of Xunzi. According to calculations, he should be the twelfth descendant of Xunzi.
Xun Shuang was eager to learn since childhood, and he could read "Spring and Autumn" and "The Analects of Confucius" at the age of twelve. This feat surprised Fei Qian. Are ancient people smarter or modern people? If in later generations, 12 years old would still be right.
What a little brat.
It is said that Du Qiao, a famous official of the Han Dynasty at that time, praised him after seeing him: "He can be a teacher." This is a very high comment, which is equivalent to praising Xun Shuang for his achievements in "Spring and Autumn" and "The Analects of Confucius".
Ordinary people can be teachers of other people.
Later, Xun Shuang did not slack off his studies because of his fame, but continued to read and ponder the scriptures more deeply. At that time, there was a saying in Yingchuan County that "Xun's Eight Dragons are unparalleled in kindness and wisdom". The Eight Dragons were the members of the Xun family, including Xun Shuang, at that time.
Eight brothers, and Ciming is Xun Shuang's name.
Fei Qian thought maliciously, Eight Dragons, how awesome can someone dare to admit such a title? Fortunately, we were still in the Han Dynasty, and the Emperor of the Han Dynasty was not as perverted in the concept of dragons and phoenixes as later dynasties. Otherwise, as soon as the name Eight Dragons came out, it would be too much.
It's appropriate to have the rhythm of rebellion...
Xun Shuang was a figure who stood at the forefront of Confucianism in the Han Dynasty. He was the one who proposed the principle of filial piety, which means that children should observe filial piety for three years after the death of their parents.
There were many critical suggestions, but what made Xun Shuang smarter than Cai Yong was that after Xun Shuang handed over the memorial, he left, abandoned his official position and lived in seclusion, while Cai Yong, who was not very alert, became miserable...
During his period of seclusion, Xun Shuang did not forget to brush up on his presence. The more he secluded himself, the more famous he became. He also wrote many books during this period and was known as a "Shuo Ru".
So when I heard that Xun Shuang was going to give a public class, people from far and near came, and Yang Cui was very lively for a while.
Xun's surname is Yingchuan Wang, and he was very calm about such a lively scene. There is a reception point at Changting far outside the city. Scholars from all over the country can register first, and then the Xun family will make arrangements according to the level of each family.
, of course, if you feel that the arrangements made by the Xun family are inappropriate, you can also go to the city and find your own accommodation.
Fei Qian felt that he had nothing to gain, so he registered outside the city like many ordinary scholars.
After reporting the name Feiqian of the Heluofei family, the children of the Xun family registered, wrote some words on a wooden sign, and handed it to Ke Feiqian.
Fei Qian took it and took a look. The wooden sign was square in shape. Some simple cloud patterns were carved around the front of the wooden sign. In the middle was the Chinese character Xun in seal script. On the back, above the wooden sign, was written "Xun Family Villa B" with the character "二"
"Seventeen", and then Fei Qian's name and origin are written at the bottom.
Fei Qian thought about it for a while, but he didn't expect that the ancients at this time had already achieved this. Isn't this just like the house number of a hotel in later generations?
I originally wanted to take Uncle Fu with me, but the Xun family members said that they could only stay in single accommodation and could not bring maids, servants, etc., so they had to let Uncle Fu and Zhang Zhao find another place to stay on their own, anyway for such a grand event.
, there are some people in and outside the city who use their rooms at home to make some extra money, so they don’t have to worry about Uncle Fu and the others having no place to live.
It happened that Zhang Zhao and the others were also going to deliver a large package of family letters, so they parted temporarily and agreed on the time and place for their next meeting. Fei Qian left first, boarded the Xun family's carriage, and met other scholars.
We entered Yangcui City together.
The carriage brought by the Xun family entered the city, turned east, and soon stopped.
When Fei Qian got out of the car and took a look, the first thing he felt was that the Xun family was really big.
The first thing that comes into view is a three-bay, four-column, three-story archway, which is the kind of archway with four pillars and three door openings. There are four big characters "Yingchuan Xunshi" on the plaque in the middle. The font is upright and grand, and the archway has cornices and painted buildings.
, showing the extraordinary magnanimity of the Xun family.
Under the archway, a descendant of the Xun family was leading the reception. After checking Fei Qian's wooden sign, he led Fei Qian through the archway and toward the square.
The square is very large. Fei Qian made a rough count and found that there were no less than a hundred people waiting, but they still seemed comfortable and didn't feel too crowded.
When the children of the Xun family led Fei Qian to a square and stopped, Fei Qian found that there were two people in front of him, one was about the same age as him, and the other was slightly older.
The disciple of the Xun family raised his hands and said: "The three of No. C, No. 27, have all arrived. Please wait here until I go to report to the steward. Someone else will take the three of you to your residence."
Fei Qian thought to himself that it turned out to be a three-person room. He wondered if the other two people had any habit of grinding their teeth, farting, and talking in their sleep...
Fei Qian was the last one to arrive, so he bowed his hands to the two people who were waiting before and said, "He Luo Fei Qian and Fei Ziyuan have met the two brothers."
The older one obviously waited a long time and was a little impatient. He just returned the greeting briefly and said "Runan Yingyu Ying Zijin" and then stopped talking.
Fei Qian thought about it, so he came from Runan. It was quite a journey from Runan to Yingchuan. Looking at the dusty appearance, he must be quite tired.
Another younger scholar put a plant like grass into his sleeve and also held his hands in his hands and said: "Zhang She Zao only Zao Zi Jing, I have met my brother."
Fei Qian took a look and thought it was quite interesting. Why was this man playing with grass? But everyone had their own hobbies, and it was the first time they met, so Fei Qian didn't know what to say, so he stood aside and waited.
After a while, a servant from the Xun family came, said hello to Fei Qian and the others, and took them to the Xun family annex.
The Xun Family Villa is a place built by the Xun family specifically to receive outsiders. It is divided into five levels, namely A, B, C, D, and E. The C character that Fei Qian got is the middle grade.
The A-level is used to receive people who are well-known and have a certain status. Ordinary people can't even think about it. For example, people of the same level as Cai Yong, but people like Cai Yong will not easily support them, so most of them
The time is free; and the number B refers to a famous family or socialite. For example, if someone like Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, etc. comes, he will definitely be assigned the number B.
The rank C refers to the general noble clan. It was just a coincidence that Fei Qian was assigned the rank C because of a little bit of the Heluofei clan...
