Chapter 528 Where is the world
persuaded her grandmother, Jiang Liu and her sister left the hospital together, and met her second uncle Wang Wenqiao.
Wang Wenqiao saw that the eyes of his two nieces were all red, and his heart rose, and he quickly stepped forward and asked, "Yan'er, your grandmother vomited blood again?"
Jiang Muyan shook her head, "Second Uncle, my sister and I have something to discuss with you."
Wang Wenqiao nodded, "Let's go to Lingyouyuan and talk."
Being held by his sister and walking into the deserted Lingyou Courtyard, Jiang Liu couldn't help but think of the lively scene when thirteen girls from the Wang family, Kong family, Meng family and his family were learning the piano here in the first week of his life. , actually made her feel the emotion of Sanghai and Sangtian.
After being seated in the small pavilion in the courtyard, Jiang Muyan talked with her uncle about the uncle and her mother's plan to proofread and source the calligraphy of famous Xiaozhuan masters, and then mentioned her proposal to her father to let the second uncle join in, "If the second uncle thinks it is feasible , Yan'er will go back and talk to her father."
"It's possible, of course it's possible!" Wang Wenqiao, who was worried about his errand, stood up and said eagerly, "Yan'er go back and tell your father, I'm willing! Yan'er can think of the second uncle when such a good thing happens, and the second uncle is very grateful. ."
Second Uncle was so straightforward, but Jiang Muyan didn't know how to deal with it. Jiang Liu reminded, "Second uncle has to think about it, this is a chore, and it may take years of hard work to achieve nothing in the end."
Wang Wenqiao's eyes gleamed, and his words were incoherent, "I know that this journey will be difficult, whether it be ten years or decades, even if I, Wang Wenqiao, have no achievements in this life, as long as I embark on this journey, In this life, I won't be a fool and do nothing. Before I die, I will leave what I have learned and thought to future generations, paving the way for them..."
Jiang Muyan said softly, "Second uncle can secretly tell grandma about this matter first, so that the old man has a bottom line. When... uncle's matter is over, this matter can begin."
Only then did Wang Wenqiao think of the eldest brother who was still struggling, and calmed down, but he still couldn't help but babble on, "That's right. Yan'er will tell your uncle and parents what I mean first, and wait until the time is right. I'll go to the door again to thank you, Qingjin Academy and some of my friends have books in this area, I'll borrow them to study in the past few days..."
When he got out of the Wang family and got on the carriage, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but ask, "Three girls, there is something I don't understand about this servant, I don't know if I should ask or not."
"Mother, please speak." Jiang Muyan sat up straight.
"The study of calligraphy that the girl mentioned to your second uncle is really that good?" In Mrs. Liu's view, doing this kind of thing doesn't make a living without money.
Jiang Muyan explained, "Writing a book is the aspiration of the children of a scholarly family. This move can distinguish the true from the false, and can promote the learning of the sages. In the eyes of scholars, it is thousands of times more important than money. If this can be done, it can be done. Shine on the lintel, and immortalize future generations; if this is not possible, it will also be admired."
This is something only wealthy people do. Mrs. Liu nodded with a smile. She somewhat understood that what the Wang family lacked was not money but fame. Doing this would help build up her prestige.
The mother was pregnant, and because she was afraid that the illness would pass to her, the sensible Jiang Muyan took her sister back to her yard to wash and change clothes before going to the north courtyard to see her grandmother and mother.
Mrs. Jiang had already listened to Madam Liu's story, and then listened to her granddaughter briefly talking about her grandmother's condition, before she said, "This disease still has to be supported. My mother is more filial in front of my grandmother's bed."
"Yes." Jiang Muyan responded and withdrew with her sister.
Ya was looking at her eldest daughter who was about to cry, and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but standing in the position of her stepmother, what she said was inappropriate, so she should wait for her husband to come back.
Jiang Muyan returned to the room, hugged her sister and started crying. Jiang Liu knew that her sister had endured for a long time, she waved her small hand to signal the nurse and the maids to go out, and let her cry to her heart's content. It's better to cry than to hold back.
Jiang Muyan cried intermittently, "If my mother took Master Chengkong's medicine, maybe, maybe, just... how could it be the same... It's more than half the money, and the effect of the medicine is different... maybe it's just a little bit worse... woo woo... "
Jiang Liu gently patted his sister's back, what can she say? Just because of the awkwardness between father and grandmother, Jiang Liu didn't have to think about it to know what his father's expression was when he gave the medicine to his grandmother, and what kind of state of mind his grandmother had when he took the medicine, freezing three feet is not a day's cold. When the elder sister was almost crying, Jiang Liucai gently persuaded, "The Master said, 'You can't tell those who come, but you can still chase after them.' , so that there will be no such misunderstandings, sister said, right?"
Jiang Muyan pressed her nose with a handkerchief, and sobbed, "Liu'er, this is not what Confucius said."
ah? The serious Jiang Liu couldn't hold back immediately, and said blankly, "I remember that this is the word in the Analects, not Confucius, that's what his disciple said?"
Jiang Muyan pressed her nose again, "I'm a madman in Chu, and Feng Ge laughs at Confucius. Does my sister remember these two sentences?"
"Holding a green jade staff, farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower!" Jiang Liu immediately took it, saying that she would recite this poem, "Could it be that Li Bai said it?"
"Taibai's poem is an allusion from the Analects." Jiang Muyan was amused by the confused sister, got out of bed and ran to the table to take out the Analects, turned to the Weizi, and pointed this passage to her sister, " look."
"Chu Kuang took the public song and passed by Confucius and said: 'Feng Xi Feng Xi, what's the decline of virtue! Those who have passed cannot be criticized, and those who come can still be pursued. That's it, that's it! Today's politicians are in danger!'" Jiang Liunian After I finished, I understood, "Chu Kuang said this!"
"Not bad." Jiang Muyan nodded approvingly.
Are "Chu Kuang" and "Chu Kuangren" the same person, or does Chu Kuang mean "Chu Kuangren"? When Jiang Liuzheng wanted to ask a few more questions to divert his sister's attention, she had already diverted her attention. "The two sentences in "The Analects of Confucius" are 'the past cannot be rebuked, but the come can still be pursued'; Zai means 'the next life cannot be waited for, the past cannot be pursued'. Although there is only one difference between 'you can chase' and 'untraceable', the meanings are quite different. The two books record the same thing, why is there such a big discrepancy ?"
ah? Is my sister asking herself? Jiang Liu guessed, "Maybe Chu Kuang spoke with an accent, and the person who recorded it didn't hear it clearly, or maybe the later generations copied the wrong words in the process of copying the book?"
"Sister is right!" Jiang Muyan with red eyes and red nose held the Analects of Confucius and Zhuangzi, straightened her waist and continued, saying righteously, "The predecessors also have different opinions and disagreements about this. If you want to investigate To understand this matter, I have to work hard to verify it! My mother taught me to read so many books, I have to bear my mother's expectations and study this Tao with my uncle, second uncle and mother. The name of my mother is left in the book, so that my mother will be admired by future generations, this is what I can do for my mother, and this is my filial piety!"
Jiang Liu, who dared not bear this filial piety, shrank into a ball and felt that he should say something to be worthy of this situation. She thought about it for a long time before standing in front of her sister, straightening her back and said, "Okay! My sister can do her filial piety with confidence. Whoever dares to stop her, I will hit him with a stick; when my sister's writing is finished, I will take out the silver stamp. 100,000 copies, let's not only distribute it all over Kyushu, but also translate it into Fanbang language and spread it all over the world!"
Jiang Muyan asked humbly, "Sister, where is the world?"
Jiang Liu... She suddenly wanted to sing aloud "Dare to ask where the road is, the road is under your feet" What's the matter?
