Chapter 943 The Ferryman
"It seems that I'm still not ready!"
Gu Xiancheng carried his hands on his back, looking at Guo Dan who was leaving, and couldn't help but sigh.
Guo Dan's sentence "The golden scales are not something in the pond. When they meet Guo Dan, they turn into dragons." It made him a little unbearable because it sounded a little arrogant, but he didn't know how to refute it for a while. In the end, he took advantage of years of debate experience and took advantage of a loophole so that he would not be at a disadvantage.
"The student sees this person being arrogant and arrogant, but he is afraid that he has nothing to say, and his mentor may have missed it." Gao Panlong was puzzled.
Gu Xiancheng smiled and said, "Everything must be realistic. What kind of person is like, hearing is false, seeing is true. Although his speech and behavior are no different from those in the market, look at the current Weihui Mansion and Kaifeng Mansion, which have clear politics, light taxes and low taxes, benefiting merchants and the people, and then look at what he does, develop water conservancy, protecting people's livelihood, and strengthening the country. What is not something we want to do but are powerless to do. He compares himself to Guan Zhong, nor is he arrogant. He is Guan Zhong of my Ming Dynasty!"
As he said that, he looked at Gao Panlong again and said, "This is why people like Su Xu cannot take advantage of him, because the achievements he has achieved are actually unmatched. No matter how much he argues, it cannot resist the personal feelings of the people and the scene of prosperity. The proposals he put forward are even more popular with me. Virtue is not worthy of his position. Of course, if he has virtue but no talent, it is just flashy and unrealistic."
......
"Why is Madam relatively silent just now? Then Gu Xiancheng is so disdainful of Xinxue."
Back on the street, Guo Dan couldn't help asking curiously.
Aunt Xu smiled and said, "Mr. Gu opposes spiritual learning and advocates practical learning. I have known this for a long time. However, learning such things is not a clever word, but also requires real talent and real learning. If you talk about talent, knowledge, insight, and demeanor, Mr. Gu is far better than me, so why should I bring shame to myself?"
She can only say that she has such a place in the literary world, but it is far from being a big deal in the literary world. Gu Xiancheng and Su Xu are both at the Taishan Beidou level, and they can't compare with each other when it comes to facts.
"Wow! So humble?"
"This is not modesty, but fact. I don't have the ability to do it."
"Madam is praising me?"
Guo Dan pretended to be flattered.
Aunt Xu smiled and said, "If someone knows that Gu Xiancheng highly praised you, your status in Shilin will definitely rise. What is my praise?"
Guo Tan smiled and said, "I can't praise him. It's better to give me some money. My wife's praise is obviously what I need more. Love often starts with admiration."
Aunt Xu gently brushed the hair scattered in her ears and asked, "Will you agree to Gu Xiancheng?"
Guo Dan shook his head and said, "I don't know, I want to hear my wife's advice."
Aunt Xu pondered for a little and said, "Although Mr. Gu has a lot of complaints about the study of the mind, in fact, whether it is real learning or study of the mind, they all have the same destination. Their purpose is the same, but..."
Having said that, she paused for a moment before continuing: "But you all need your small boat to help them cross to the other side."
Guo Dan laughed and said, "It seems that my wife also agrees with my 'Golden Scale is not something in the pond. Whenever she meets Guo Dan, she will turn into a saint'."
Aunt Xu nodded slightly and said, "Although it is exaggerated, it is not without reason. They only know how to criticize, but only see the problem, but there is no specific solution, so it seems a little empty. Although you have a solution, if you do not have ideological support, you may be a step further and difficult to pass on the world. It is also a castle in the air. If you have any unexpected results, all your efforts today will be gone, and the dust will return to the dust and the soil will return to the soil."
Guo Dan said: "So the lady thinks I should cooperate with them."
Aunt Xu nodded and said, "Baiquan lay Buddhists advocate learning in mind, which is people-oriented, anti-ethics, and close to utilitarianism. His proposition is to be more inclined to individualism and deeply recognized by the people. Mr. Gu advocates practical learning and caring for the world, and pursues self-cultivation, management of the family, governing the country, and pacifying the world. If we talk about it in the ancients, it is obvious that Mr. Gu should be better, but if we talk about it now, both can be taken advantage of."
Of course, her thoughts were still biased towards Li Zhi and Tang Xianzu's theory of mind, but she also knew that Li Zhi and others were too radical, and that his theory was difficult to reach the temple, and the practical learning advocated by Gu Xiancheng was more suitable for the court.
For Guo Dan, the two are not actually in conflict. He can cooperate with them, which will affect the court on the one hand and the people on the other hand, and will take a two-pronged approach.
Guo Dan nodded slightly, only to feel that Aunt Xu’s words made a lot of sense. He also knew that thoughts were very important. Suddenly, a guard in front of him stopped and said, “Stop, who are you?”
Looking up, a guard raised his hand to stop a weak scholar who tried to approach Guo Dan.
He heard the scholar stammering again: "I... am a student of Yinuo Academy. I came here to paint today. I just felt...!" He glanced at Guo Dan and Aunt Xu, "It is rare for them to see their husbands and beautiful women, so I wanted to paint a painting for them."
He is worthy of being a student of my Yinuo Academy, so he has some vision! Guo Dan looked happy and walked forward.
Aunt Xu felt a stern and whispered: "I won't agree."
"I can't save this, I just teach my students." Guo Dan nodded, then came to the scholar and said, "You are so eye-poor."
He broke his power as soon as he spoke.
The scholar was suddenly a little disappointed. He looked at him as a talented man. His mouth was a strong market wind, but he asked politely: "Why did you say this?"
Guo Dan said: "In this way, we cannot judge people by appearance. The same is true for finding people to draw. Although our couples are handsome men and beautiful women, they are obviously in harmony with each other. On the surface, they obviously cannot let you draw without this need. You should look for those truly loving couples, who may ask you to draw and keep them as a souvenir."
The scholar was scolded with a look of surprise and said dumbly: "Yes...yes, yours...you are saying yes, I've disturbed you, forgive me, forgive me."
After saying that, he quickly flashed.
But even the guards beside him lowered their heads silently.
It is really something that Guo Dan is so frank.
Aunt Xu came forward and saw her cheeks dizzy, but she looked even more charming and said in a low voice: "What are you talking about?"
Guo Dan said: "Isn't that what the madam meant just now? Our relationship must have not reached the point of getting married photos. I think we should be given a few more months."
Aunt Xu was speechless and just gave Guo Dan a look.
You are cruel enough!
After a while, the group finally arrived at Yinuo Academy.
Li Zhi and Tang Xianzu had already been waiting in front of the door.
Seeing Guo Dan come, Li Zhi, a super old fan, couldn't help laughing: "I, Li Zhi, are often called a rebellious person. I once thought that I could be a little better than the dean at this point, but I never thought that even if I were a rebellious person, I would be far inferior to the dean. This is the number one son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty, which is really admirable. Even if Li Zhi broke his head, he would never be able to marry into the family without limit. I was convinced! I was convinced!"
Aunt Xu is used to it. Guo Dan is already a saint in Li Zhi's heart, so what the saint does is of course right.
Guo Dan said, "Excessive award! Excessive award! But I have no intention of competing with the lay Buddhist on this rebellious path. But my wife is not the one who follows the rules. If you want to marry this extraordinary person, you should use extraordinary means and I am forced to do so."
Li Zhi laughed loudly and said, "How wonderful! How wonderful!"
Aunt Xu stood aside, and she was so desperate.
She never thought that one day she would come to her former friend as a woman, but she felt a little uncomfortable and could not express herself at all.
Tang Xianzu seemed to notice Aunt Xu's discomfort, slightly pulled Li Zhi's sleeves, and said to Aunt Xu: "Madam Guo, congratulations, congratulations."
Li Zhi also reacted and hurriedly congratulated Aunt Xu.
Aunt Xu nodded slightly and said, "Thank you."
After a while, the group entered the academy. Aunt Xu was shocked and blurted out: "So many people!"
Guo Dan looked around and saw people everywhere, with three or five people talking under the tree. Some students in the corridor were studying textbooks tirelessly, and there were groups of laughter in the aisle, and there were cheers on the other side of the court.
This scene made Guo Dan’s memories of studying in the past come to his heart.
It really has a little meaning.
The only regret is that there are few female students, which is really very regrettable.
Li Zhi said: "Mrs. Guo doesn't know that this person is far more than this. The number of people who came to Yinuo Academy before is increasing day by day. Now that His Majesty has placed a scientific examination in Yinuo Academy, there are countless scholars who are seeking scholars. We are also trying to discuss with the dean to see if the university can be expanded. This class is no longer enough."
As soon as these words were spoken, Guo Dan and Aunt Xu couldn't help but look at each other.
Tang Xianzu said curiously: "What? Is the dean who is planning to do this?"
Guo Tan smiled and said, "That's not, but we just met one person."
"Who?"
Li Zhi said curiously.
Guo Dan said: "Gu Xiancheng."
"he!"
Li Zhi and Tang Xianzu said in unison.
Guo Dan also informed Li Zhi and Tang Xianzu about Gu Xiancheng's self-recommendation.
Li Zhi heard the words and couldn't help but be overjoyed: "How wonderful! How wonderful!"
Guo Dan was stunned and said, "Laby, he wants to replace you, and you still applaud him? Do you want to abdicate and give way to the wise?"
"That's not."
Li Zhi shook his head and said, "It's just that I argued with him several times before, and it's hard to tell the difference. If I can compete with him, it would be a pleasure. Moreover, this competition is very fair. After all, the economics of the dean is not something he is good at, nor is it what I am good at."
Tang Xianzu was eager to try and said, "This sounds really interesting!"
Guo Tan smiled and said, "It seems that I can't stand against it anymore."
Li Zhi hurriedly said: "Director, if you object, Gu Xiancheng will definitely think that we are afraid, so he instigated the dean not to give him this opportunity. Wouldn't we be defeated without fighting?"
Guo Dan nodded and said, "Okay! I'll think about it seriously."
Just then, someone shouted at me, "Director Guo, will you teach us this time?"
Guo Dan looked sideways and saw a young man under the tree shouting at him, "This person is Qin Zhuang's grandson, Qin Jinrong, and the first student to study in the School of Economics.
A person next to him smiled and said, "Director Guo, if you don't come and teach us a lesson, we will graduate."
"You graduate first!" Guo Dan replied.
Qin Jinrong and others immediately looked depressed.
Li Zhi suddenly said: "Director, this time His Majesty ordered the additional scientific examinations at Yinuo Academy. Many students came to ask, but I don't know how to answer. Why do you teach them a lesson and let them know why the additional scientific examinations at Yinuo Academy."
Tang Xianzu nodded slightly.
