Hui Niang's attitude is resolute and cannot be questioned by others.

In addition to admiring Hui Niang's moral character, Zhou couldn't help feeling a little ashamed... Hui Niang's ambition was so noble, she put herself in her shoes and asked that she could not do it, and it would be uncomfortable to live a lonely life.

In addition to writing a letter to the news of Chen Xi's promotion to Ninghua's hometown, Zhou also wrote a letter to Chen Xi in the capital about Hui Niang's situation.

However, Zhou did not ask Hui Niang to write a letter this time because she felt that Hui Niang's personality changed a lot after becoming the top scorer in Shen Xi. I don't know if it was her illusion, but she always wanted to avoid irritating this good sister.

At this time, Chen Xi in the capital was still preparing to deal with the phased assessment of Prince Zhu Houzhao by Emperor Hongzhi, and at the same time, he was preparing to save Xie Pi and others who were obsessed with their hearts.

Xie Pi's invitation was regarded by Chen Xi as the result of being poisoned by the study of the heart.

Young people like novel knowledge and want to change the times in their own way, which is roughly the same as Chen Xi's idea. But the problem is that mind learning is not the mainstream idea at present. Even if it is to be praised, people should subtly change the summary of mind learning in the past, and not directly conflict with Mind.

Chen Xi was also a talented person for two lifetimes to understand this, but Xie Pi may not be able to understand it. So after repeated consideration, he decided to stop Xie Pi from playing with fire.

On the second day of August, Chen Xi went to the place where the forum was located to meet at the invitation where Xie Pi sent him.

This academic forum is located in an ancient temple in the western suburbs of the capital, called "Dahua Temple". It can be seen that the incense is not very strong and the temples are dilapidated. Fortunately, the yard is empty and there are many people who can sit down. Those who come to participate in the academic forum need to prepare cushions and cushions, but more people come here, bustling with two or three hundred people, standing in the open space around the forum waiting.

Chen Xi did not expect Xie Pi to spread the knowledge of the mind so widely in the capital.

"I heard that it's not. It seems that there is a Hanlin who is spreading the study of mind. You should listen carefully today. It may not be helpful to the provincial examinations next year."

"I heard that this is an official from the Zhan Shifu Office, but I don't know who it is?"

"No matter who he is, he must be a person with outstanding talent and knowledge... Moreover, officials of Zhanshi Mansion often serve as examiners in the Shuntian Mansion examination and the provincial examination. If they can make friends with him, it would be a blessing!"

"Look at what you said so vulgar, but there is something you are right. This person must be full of real talents and knowledge. If you think that Mr. Xie is, he can ask for advice humbly. This person must have a high position and a powerful position in the court... Oh, is it Mr. Xie himself?"

Chen Xi entered Dahua Temple in casual clothes, and the forum was set up in the open space in front of the main hall. He stood among the noisy crowd for a while, and all he heard were speculations about the people who were giving lectures today.

Where do these people come to learn how to study the mind?

It's basically accompanies the powerful!

Knowing that Xie Pi's father was Xie Qian, a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, he thought that even if this person who was not Xie Qian himself was a famous scholar in the court, he must be a famous scholar with outstanding status in the court.

"Is this Mr. Shen?"

Chen Xi listened in the crowd for a while, and the more he listened, the more he felt unbearable. Just as he was about to find Xie Pi to stop him from opening the forum, a respectful servant squeezed away the crowd and came to salute Chen Xi.

Chen Xi looked at the visitor and asked, "Do you know me?"

"You are so worried about your affairs. You have been to the mansion many times. The villain is a servant of the Xie Mansion. How can you not recognize you? It was the young master who asked me to wait for your boss to come here in the hall. Please speak in the backyard..."

Chen Xi nodded, just in time to find Xie Pi, which is a waste of time now.

He walked around the main hall and came to the Bodhisattva Hall in the back hall. Someone was burning incense. Chen Xi looked closely and saw an old lady dressed in gracefully bowing to the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Xie Pi stood beside him and respectfully was respectful to the old woman. There were several maids and healthy women standing next to her, with dignified and solemn expressions.

Judging from Xie Pi's attitude, the old lady should be his mother, but she didn't know whether it was his biological mother, Xie Xu or stepmother Xie Lu.

But she was very happy to see a lively figure swaying her little head beside Xie Pi. She saw the majestic temple halls and sculptures of Bodhisattvas and Arhats. She was Xie Pi's niece Xie Hengnu.

At this time, Xie Hengnu was wearing men's clothes and smiling happily. How could he be as solemn as he prayed to God and Buddha? Judging from his relaxed attitude, it shows that the old woman was not her own grandmother. Therefore, Chen Xi could basically predict that the woman in the hall was Xie Lu.

"End early, don't stay outside for too long."

When Xie Pi helped Xie Lu out, the old woman said to Xie Pi with a loving look on her face.

Although he was not his biological son, he was adopted by her son who wanted to support her in his old age and see him off. Xie Lu treated Xie Pi as his own son, and when he saw him, he couldn't help but praise his mother's kindness and filial piety.

Chen Xi did not step forward and watched Xie Lu come out of the gate of the back hall with Xie Pi and Xie Hengnu. As soon as he walked to the temple, he heard the "thump" footsteps behind him. Xie Hengnu ran over panting, looked at Chen Xi happily and asked, "Brother Seven, is it you?"

"Don't be rude to Mr. Chen!"

Xie Pi walked over and shouted softly... Perhaps because he was reluctant to teach a lesson, his tone was not very tough.

Xie Hengnu listened to this second uncle very much and knew that he could leave the house with his second uncle's help. If he didn't be honest, he would never have the chance to go out again, let alone go to such a lively place with so many people.

It took more than half a year to see Xie Hengnu, and Chen Xi felt a little intimate when he saw Xie Hengnu... The little girl grew taller again, but the innocent face was no different from before. Her face was filled with a bright and gorgeous smile like the sun, which was bright and cute.

Even Chen Xi was infected by this smile.

"I'm afraid that the teacher will not be able to take time, so it's good that the teacher will come. I finally don't have to go out to tell those people. Since I listened to the teacher's previous teachings, the students feel that they know very little about the learning of the mind and it's hard to get into the elegant hall." Xie Pi was humble and had no airs in front of Shen Xi.

The Prime Minister's family is also a seventh-rank official, but this young master of the Prime Minister's family is approachable and gives people the feeling of being bathed in spring breeze. No wonder he is so popular in the capital. However, Chen Xi was not grateful and shook his head and said, "The theory of mind science I proposed is still incomplete. If you take it out rashly, it will only make people laugh at it."

Xie Pi said a little dissatisfied: "How could this happen? Sir, I saw those people outside, they all learned it for the sake of the heart..."

Chen Xi told Xie Pi the gossip he had heard outside before. When Xie Pi heard it, he looked sad. He thought that his preaching of the mind was effective. So many people could come to the academic forum this time, which proved that this theory was indeed vigorous and vital, but only then did he realize that these people were just here to join in the fun and gather the powerful.

In these days, there are no stars, and the most famous ones are those great scholars in the Confucian community. Whoever is famous will be highly praised, and if there are any activities, they will respond as much as possible.

If people outside know that the lectures from the academic forum this time were only the new top scholar who was awarded the title last year. Although they are now working in the Hanlin Academy and the Zhan Shi Mansion, they may not be able to stand out. At that time, they will not only return disappointed, but also criticize the previous academic knowledge.

A science is easily criticized by people at the beginning of its birth, because these theories will be regarded as absurd. From the standpoint of materialism, even Chen Xi himself feels that subjective idealistic mind-study has many undesirable aspects.

Unlike Wang Yangming, a master of Xinxue, Chen Xi treated Xinxue as a shortcut to quickly gaining fame and establishing a sect, and did not do it as a career.

In fact, Neo-Confucianism and Mind studies have their own principles and their own shortcomings.

The starting points of Neo-Confucianism and Mind studies are different. Many times, it is because the husband says that the mother has reason, and the position and the viewpoints are different. There is no question of who is right or wrong.

Xie Pi said in a little embarrassedly: "Sir, there are so many people outside, and many of them are close friends of students... What should I do?"

Chen Xidao: "We should talk about it, but we should not talk about it, but we should remember Mr. Baisha who had just passed away."

"Mr. Baisha?"

Xie Pi was stunned for a moment, thinking for a while before he could react to who Chen Xi was talking about... This person was a famous thinker, educator, calligrapher, poet, and founder of the Jiangmen School of the Ming Dynasty. He made outstanding contributions to the development of heart science. In February this year, Chen Xianzhang died of illness in his hometown, and this incident caused a lot of lament in the literary world. Such a death of the Fang family was a great loss to the Confucian scholars in the Ming Dynasty.

Chen Xi nodded heavily: "Mr. Baisha was devoted to teaching and educating people for half his life. The content he spoke was mainly Zhu Zi Neo-Confucianism, but some of the content involved the study of mind. We should not speak in our own tone, but use Mr. Baisha's theory to convey a thought so that we can be more acceptable."

Xie Pi hesitated and said, "But...but...I don't know much about Mr. Baisha."

Chen Xi thought to himself, just know that you don’t understand, aren’t this ready for you?

Chen Xi took out a manuscript from his arms and handed it to Xie Pi: "You have read it roughly first, memorize the sentences carefully, and then take them out and follow them..."

Xie Pi didn't react for a moment. He had never had any experience in giving speeches. He just gave a lecture by copying it. He wanted to take turns to talk about his views on the study of the mind with a few friends, just like the Wenhui, without any fixed speeches. Now there are so many people coming out, so it is obvious that it is not possible to go up and talk casually. There must be logical speeches to support this forum.

"Sir... have you... read Mr. Baisha's works?" Xie Pi looked at the draft in his hand and was surprised to see Chen Xi quoted many Chen Xianzhang's thoughts and remarks.

Chen Xi nodded. When he was preparing for the provincial examination and the imperial examination, he had read many collections of humanities and had a certain understanding of various schools. Of course, he used the ideas he brought to the previous life to judge the advantages and disadvantages of the spread of ideas. He became much more objective and fair.

Chen Xianzhang's academic achievements were well-known in the Ming Dynasty. Decades later, the imperial court issued an edict to build the Chen family temple in Baisha, and gave it a couplet and a portrait of the sacrifice. The edict was called "Chongzheng Hall", which said: "The Taoist teachings Confucius and Mencius for three thousand years, and they learned the first branch of Shaocheng and Zhu." Later, Emperor Wanli issued an edict to entrust him to worship the Confucius Temple. According to research, among the historical figures in the Lingnan region, only Chen Baisha could worship the Confucius Temple, so he was known as "one person in Lingnan" and "the Confucian scholar in Lingnan".

Xie Pi was looking at the manuscript in the back hall to deepen his memory. At this time, some of his friends had come to find him. Many of them had met Chen Xi when Xie Pi held a literary meeting last time, and they all came to salute Chen Xi.

"If you have time, you have to ask the teacher for advice on what you learn about your heart..."

These people highly admire Chen Xi. This should be the representative of the young people who spread the mind-learning thoughts as Xie Pi said. They really need to learn, not speculate.

Chen Xi will naturally teach what he wants to learn, but now he has to send people outside.

I heard that Chen Xi gave Xie Pi a speech, and these people surrounded him and wanted to see what profound ideas Chen Xi wrote and inspired him.

Xie Hengnu's pretty little face was full of incredibleness. Seeing that no one noticed, she slipped to Chen Xi, she asked in a low voice: "Brother Seven, why did my second uncle call you a gentleman?"

Chen Xi was stopped and Xie Pi learned the mind from him, and was a backward in the field of science. In addition, he was a Hanlin who was at the top of the imperial examination pyramid. It was natural to call him Mr. Mr., but how could these be explained to a little girl?

Looking at the girl's innocent and eager gaze, Chen Xi couldn't bear to refuse, so he could only answer casually: "Your second uncle learned knowledge from me, we are good teachers and friends."

"That's how it is."

Xie Hengnu lowered his head and frowned for thinking, obviously he didn't understand Chen Xi's words very much, but she was still very happy. When she looked up at Chen Xi again, her bright and charming little face was full of admiration: "I have never seen anyone other than grandpa. Can the second uncle be so impressed, Brother Seven, can you teach me too?"

"What are you going to learn?" Chen Xi asked.

Xie Hengnu replied without thinking: "It was what Brother Seven taught me to my second uncle."

The little girl felt that the second uncle she admired before was so respectful to Xinxue, and it must be profound knowledge, and these knowledge was taught by Chen Xi. She wanted to learn something from Chen Xi, but fortunately she was in the limelight in front of her.

Chen Xi smiled and shook his head, saying, "I told you, but you don't understand either."

Xie Hengnu was a little unhappy when he heard this. His little mouth was slightly pouted, and his delicate little face was full of grievances. However, she quickly felt relieved and said expectantly: "Then in the future, Brother Seven will teach me something I can understand. In the past, the elder begged the second uncle to teach me, but he was very busy and ignored me now..."

Chen Xi could see that Xie Hengnu did not want him to teach something, but wanted to find a playmate... This is probably the nature of a child!
