    Following someone's yell, someone slowly came out from behind the screen, but everyone took a closer look and found that it was not a female gentleman, but Chu Zhengcheng, a talent from the Chu family, followed by the lovely flower fairy Lan Xin  .

    Li Tang, who was about to see the beauty of Mrs. Ju's daughter, saw this scene and immediately turned back to Chu Tian to ask what was going on, and why Chu Zhengcheng appeared on it.  How could he know that Chu Tianwen also had a dazed look on his face, as if he didn't know anything.

    "Xiao Lanxin couldn't say it, why did she follow Brother Zhengcheng?"

    "Brother Tang, I'm also wondering, I don't know anything, Zhengcheng came to me this morning and told me that he would get a good seat if he came early, who knows why he appeared on it now as the host,  As for Xiao Lanxin" Chu Tian asked with an innocent look on his face, and said helplessly, "You also know that our Chu family girls have always acted freely. Although I am the young master, I dare not ask more questions."

    Chu Zhengcheng, who had just appeared on the stage, stood on the podium and began to preach: "Everyone, don't be suspicious. I am a student who graduated from Xinglin College in the past. Let me tell you about Chu Zhengcheng. I was the first one to come this morning. I wanted to help Dean Huang clean up the venue.  In case you all come, I didn¡¯t expect the dean to assign me to do today¡¯s opening, and it¡¯s the first time I¡¯ve grown up so much, if there¡¯s anything I can¡¯t say, please forgive me.¡±

    Chu Zhengcheng gave a deep salute, and then continued: "Xinglin College has been established for more than 30 years. There are countless people who have gone out of the college to become officials and businessmen, and wrote essays. There have also been many famous old gentlemen.  Showing up to give lectures has brought great glory to our Xinglin College, so today's book fair, I, Chu Zhengcheng, and all the students from Xinglin, thank you for coming to watch the meeting, but today's book fair is different from all previous book fairs." Chu  After Zhengcheng held back, he turned around and saw several people carrying a curtain to stand behind Chu Zhengcheng. The students in the hall were in an uproar, discussing the purpose of the curtain.

    I saw Chu Zhengcheng cleared his throat, and continued: "Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient, everyone must have heard about the reason why today is different. Our Xinglin College has Mr. Ju Wanruo, a talented woman from Chuyue, who came to us today.  Lecture, if you have any doubts, you can raise them, so let us see how Mr. Ju used her witty words to answer your questions. I won¡¯t talk too much.  Next, I invite Mr. Ju to come on stage and tell us about the classic works written by the ancient sages."

    Accompanied by the thunderous applause from the audience, a vaguely beautiful figure slowly appeared behind the screen. She was wearing a blue academic gown worn by students of Xinglin College, but she still couldn't conceal her graceful figure.  He couldn't help stretching his neck to try his best to see the face of the female gentleman behind the screen, but it was impossible, but Chu Tianwen closed his eyes and exhaled all energy to explore behind the screen.  , with a calm expression, as if he had already seen what Mr. Ju looked like.

    As soon as Ju Wanruo sat upright, someone shouted from the audience: "I don't know what talent Mr. Ju has, how dare he speak the classics of saints in front of hundreds of people in the hall and courtyard?"

    "I am not talented. I have read the words of a hundred schools of thought since I was a child. I have dabbled in all the classics and history collections. I have even read the Taoist and Buddhist theories that live in the mountains and forests.  The dean chatted with me for a few days and nights, and he just flattered his little girl, but I also have my unique insights after reading the book for so many years. You may wish to argue with me after listening to me, so that I can understand some truths.  "A gentle female voice came out slowly from behind the screen. The voice was not loud but had a strong penetrating power. Everyone in the hall could hear it clearly.

    At this time, someone with a loud voice was standing at the door helping to pass it on to the people in the courtyard, which caused some of the Gaoliang disciples who were high-minded and low-handed to feel sullen, and muttered in their mouths: "A woman, what a big talk, Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism are all  Dare to say it all."

    After listening to Ju Wanruo's words, Li Tang's heart trembled. He seemed to have heard this voice somewhere before. Then he looked at Chu Tianwen behind him. At this time, Chu Tianwen had escaped from the burst of energy just now.  Seeing Li Tang looking at him suspiciously, he knew the reason, and then nodded, and Li Tang turned around calmly.

    "Mr. Ju, Xiaosheng Wang Dongxiang, a native of Maling Village, Lingxi Town, is confused about whether to speak or not." Standing in the distance, Wang Dongxiang suddenly asked a question. Obviously, this book fair cannot be spent in peace.  Li Tang, who was watching from the sidelines, smiled without saying a word, but he was eager to watch the excitement.

    After saying please, Wang Dongxiang expressed his doubts: "Mr. Ju, everyone knows that the magistrate has 100,000 snowflakes in three years.  These are the two scrolls in front of the gate of Chuxinxuan of the college: For the sake of the family, the country and the world, and for the common people. According to the imperial salary, the monthly salary of the fourth-rank magistrate is only twenty-four stones, which is equivalent to twelve taels of silver. However, since the world has said it,  Naturally, there is a real meaning in it, since it is unavoidable to searchWhat is the difference between being an upright official and a corrupt official if you scrape off the people's fat and the people's anointing?  "

    "Hehe." There was a chuckle from behind the screen, which caused the hearts of the people around to fluctuate slightly. Ju Wanruo seemed to feel that something was wrong, so she quickly cleared her throat and replied, "Don't you know that the people are the most important, and the king is the least? Since you think  Being an official is to make money, so how could there be a former king who ransacked his home and got nothing? I thought that the purpose of being an official is to serve the country and the people. If there is really that one hundred thousand snowflakes, why shouldn¡¯t the six doors be opened every day?  , open warehouses and release grain to help the people? The sage said: Let the old have something to support, the strong to use, and the young to return. Use the silver other than this salary to help the people live and work in peace and contentment.  How did you get the one hundred thousand snowflake silver? The key lies in what you did with the silver.¡±

    Wang Dongxiang scratched his head slightly, he only stared at his pocket but forgot the principle of taking from the people and using it for the people. Thinking of this, Wang Dongxiang suddenly laughed, "Students are taught."

    Another person stood up from the side and asked, "Mr. Ju, Xiaosheng is Wang Xiyi, a fellow villager of Wang Dongxiang. He came from a poor family since he was a child. Thanks to Director Huang, he accepted me as a student. It's just that I didn't want to be an official. I went to Baoluzhai for further study  , Now that I have completed my studies, I return to my hometown to study with peace of mind, but now I can¡¯t even make a living. Dare I ask, sir, is there only one way for us to survive by being an official?¡±

    "The sage once said that if you are good at learning, you will be an official. This sentence is not unreasonable." Only a melancholy sound came from behind the curtain.

    "Sir, wouldn't it mean that if I don't become an official, I won't be able to live in this life, so I'll just die." After saying that, Wang Xiyi was about to bump his head to death here, but was stopped by the people next to him, and someone said right after him:  "Listen to what you have to say, sir."

    "The sage once said that if you are poor, you will benefit yourself alone, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world. Human life is not just for the three or two bites of food. If I remember correctly, it is recorded in the history books that a general was captured when the Northwest invaded the frontier.  The barbarians also used food to coerce the general into treason. While refusing to give food, they tortured and tortured the general. However, the general refused to obey, and finally starved to death.  Later generations say that if you don't have the courage to face this cruel life like a general, you can just hit your head to death."

    After waking up, Wang Xiyi regained his composure, covered his face in shame and fled the scene hastily.

    The crowd kept asking questions, and the female gentleman took the trouble to answer them one by one by citing the scriptures. However, there were too many questions, complicated and varied, and the questions could not be finished until the next morning. Chu Zhengcheng immediately announced that others should stop asking.  , Turned to Mr. Qingfeng to argue with Mr. Chuyueju alone, but the first question that Mr. Qingfeng asked immediately caught everyone present by surprise.

    "Pei Xingzhi, some time ago, I ran into an old gentleman who asked me a question, which baffled me. Please listen, everyone. There are no horses in this world. Please take a look. The horses we pull are either white horses or white horses.  It is a black horse, or a red horse, or a colored horse, but none of them is a horse. The so-called white horse is not a horse.

    After the question was asked, everyone was stunned. What kind of question is this? A horse is a horse. There is no reason for this question. No one could believe that it came from Mr. Qingfeng.  Going around, there are endless discussions on this issue.

    "Hehe, Mr. Qingfeng is worthy of being Mr. Qingfeng. His words are not shocking and he will die," Ju Wanruo did not answer immediately, but lowered his head to write and draw on a piece of paper. After finishing writing, Chu Zhengcheng took it out for everyone to see  , drew a regular circle on the paper, and then said to everyone: "Look, everyone, what shape is this?"

    Everyone answered that it was a circle, only Mr. Qingfeng and Li Tang who was watching the fun did not answer, but the person behind the screen shook his head and said, "I said this is a square, do you believe it?"

    The people below began to talk endlessly again, and someone saw the way, stood up and shouted: "I see, so that's the case, Mr. Ju is really talented, and he used such a clever method to argue that Mr. Qingfeng's white horse is not a horse."  Scholars are a bit arrogant, and so is the person who spoke. He stopped halfway through the conversation, so as not to let other people who are not as good as him know what it means.

    Ju Wanruo behind the screen smiled, and immediately responded: "Everyone, please see, when we pay attention to the graphics on paper, it is a circle. What if we look at paper? It is a square, so the square, the square and the circle are all in the same place."  It's just how we look at it. The same is true for Mr. Qingfeng's white horse, which is not a horse. We call it a horse by looking at its shape, and we can naturally distinguish a white horse from a black horse by looking at its color. It is worthy of Mr. Qingfeng who has learned a lot, what a white horse is not a horse.  horse."

    The people who suddenly realized it all applauded, and at the same time laughed at the people around them who didn't understand, and then they all praised the two people's knowledge and insights, and Chu Zhengcheng, who was laughing at the side, stood up again and said: "If there are no other questions, Mr.  Let¡¯s talk about the classics of sages.¡±

    "I have a question, sir, please answer it." It was none other than Li Tang who had watched the whole scene.? Said: "If there are no other questions, Mr. Ju will talk about the classics of sages."

    "I have a question, sir, please answer it." It was none other than Li Tang who had watched the whole scene.
