The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 6 Talents for meritorious deeds
"Yes! Yes! Yes! The two young masters are right."

"It was a mistake."

Liu Mouer nodded and bowed.

After apologizing, he cautiously withdrew from the school, not daring to walk loudly.

Lu Zhaopeng took out a copy of "Thousand Characters" with a yellow border from the hole in the table, put it on Baigui's desk, and said, "Brother Gui, Er and Zhaohai have started to memorize it now." The Analects of Confucius is over, the thousand-character text is used for literacy, and if you don’t need it anymore, you should use it first.”

"It's paper and ink, just say it's not enough, don't be polite."

Lu Zhaohai saw the old pen and inkstone on Baigui's table, pushed back the pen and inkstone in the table hole, and took out a stack of straw paper and two cube-sized pieces of ink.

Bai Gui took the book, but did not take the paper and ink. His lips moved, his brows and eyes were slightly lowered, and he put on a respectful gesture, "Eldest young master, second young master, I told you about it, so I dipped it in a wooden board. To write with water, first you don’t need ink and paper, it’s a waste of money.”

Books are a necessity.

Scrap paper and ink are not necessary.

Bai Gui made a clear distinction.

The family tradition of the Lu family is very strict. When Mrs. Lu was alive, the family first spent a lot of money to hire Mr. Meng Xue to teach Lu Zhaopeng and Lu Zhaohai. Shenhe Village, inside and outside, went to school for enlightenment.

The old man of the Lu family was born as an apprentice in a restaurant at first, carrying water and pulling bellows, and learned cooking skills. A senior official on the southern tour passed by Chang'an City, and after eating the gourd chicken cooked by the old man of the Lu family, he praised: "The best spoon in the world. .”

After having this name, the Lu family made a fortune, started a Zhuangzi, and built Sanjin's yard.

Everyone in Bailu Village knew that when the old man Lu was about to die, he left a will: "I have been serving people all my life, and I am worthless. Only by fighting for your breath and having people serve you is the glory of your ancestors. One of the scholars came to my grave to put a String cannons, if you hit a Juren, you fire the thunder cannon, if you hit a Jinshi, you fire three blunderbusses."

There are things that can be tolerated, and some things that cannot be tolerated.

Being greedy for cheap is to be hated by others.

Bai Gui knew that Lu Zhaopeng and Lu Zhaohai were kind to him, but it was not the two brothers who were in charge of the Lu family, but Lu Taiheng and Lu Zilin, father and son. No matter how much you covet ink and straw paper, you just don't know how to advance or retreat!

Living under the hedge of others, relying on the deer's family.

Bai Gui has to be "sensible"!
It's not that he has a humble personality and is used to serving others, but that he must be like this if he chooses to survive.

Similarly, if Xu Xiucai saw this scene, he would probably also frown. A gentleman has something to accept and something to not accept. It is understandable to borrow books, but to covet other people's property is to be a villain.

At this time, Bai Gui remembered the hometown written by Mr. Lu Xun, and he thought he was Runtu.

Respect to the master.

Up and down are different.

But he is stronger than Runtu, and the "respect" is only temporary.

"Give it to you, you accept it!"

Lu Zhaohai frowned. He didn't understand Bai Gui's thoughts. In the past, Bai Gui took the two of them to catch fish and rabbits. Sometimes he would bring melons and fruits from the fields and mountains to them.

Loyalty, some paper and ink, there are countless in the family.

As long as he opens his mouth, hoping that his son will become a dragon, Lu Zilin, who is a scholar, a scholar, and a Jinshi, will immediately order his family's long-term workers to go to the town to buy.

As long as it is related to reading, it is easy to say anything.

"Are some papers, brother Gui, just take it..." Lu Zhaopeng also persuaded.

Bai Gui smiled honestly, scratched his smooth forehead, and said nothing.

The two also saw that the persuasion was boring and a little angry. Lu Zhaohai childishly wanted to take away the "Thousand Characters" he had just given, but the older Lu Zhaopeng was a little more sensible and stopped him.

After a while, some young children came to the school one after another.

At the same time, he took advantage of this spare time to open the book.

None of the thousand characters in the "Thousand-Character Essay" is repeated. It is said that the author Zhou Xingsi wrote "Thousand-Character Essay" overnight.

The reason why this book is used for Enlightenment is because Meng Tongxue completes the entire Thousand-Character Essay, which is equivalent to knowing a thousand characters.

However, most of the elementary studies are not only enlightened by the thousand-character prose, but also mixed with classics such as "San Zi Jing", "Hundred Family Surnames", "Thousand Family Poems", and "Disciples Regulations".

The whole poem of Qianziwen begins with "the heaven and earth are mysterious and yellow, the universe is prehistoric", with four characters and one sentence, and a rhyme every other sentence.The articles are inherited in one continuous line, promoted layer by layer, and consistent, with quotations from the scriptures every sentence and dictionaries every word.

Bai Gui is no stranger to the first few sentences of the Thousand Characters. In his previous life, he would inevitably come into contact with these few sentences in the information flow, but after reading the latter, they become a little strange, and because they are traditional characters, Looking from right to left, it also looks difficult.

The book contains not only the main text, but also simple annotations, and some rare words are also marked with rhymes.

"If my memory is correct, punctuation marks should be officially used on February 1920, 2 by the Beiyang government in the "Order to Adopt New Punctuation Marks". There were no punctuation marks in the late Qing Dynasty..."

"However, punctuation marks have existed since ancient times, but there is no standard and unified standard."

Bai Gui glanced at the punctuation used in some sentences in the book. It was very different from the previous life, not "," and ".", but some other symbols, like "*" and "^" and so on. (Judu means sentence break, and it can also be written as sentence tease.)
As for knowing the specific time of punctuation marks, it was because his undergraduate course in his previous life happened to be related to history. At that time, he read some historical materials of the late Qing Dynasty, not many, but he had some impressions of some standard major events in his head.

He tried to read it several times, and the vague memory in his mind became clearer, and some unfamiliar "words" seemed to be clear.

Soon, an ancient bronze mirror appeared in his mind.

The ancient mirror is simple and unpretentious, with lines of simplified characters written on the golden mirror.

"Name: Bai Gui."

"Talent: None."

"Deeds: 103 points."

"Dao Gong: 0 points."

"Anchor time point: 2014."

"Property: a Longyang silver dollar."

"The 'Kunlun Mirror' has finally been opened again. Is it true that after I entered the school, I changed my luck like a character in a novel in my previous life, so the bronze mirror can last for such a long time..." Bai Gui looked at the scene that appeared in his mind. Bronze mirror, can't help but be delighted.

This bronze mirror was a counterfeit he bought from the antique market. He didn’t know the name or what it was. After awakening his past half a year ago, he could see the bronze mirror in his mind from time to time. At first he thought it was a trance, but then he observed the bronze mirror. After spending more and more time in the mirror, he realized that this might be his golden finger.

There are no bird seals or bronze inscriptions on the ancient mirror, only some ordinary patterns of birds and animals are engraved.

He didn't know its name, so he called it "Kunlun".

There are two kinds of meritorious deeds and Taoist merits in this Kunlun mirror. Deeds of deeds are rewards from heaven. Every time you focus on one thing, deeds will be recorded in the account, while Taoist deeds are the merits and achievements achieved in a certain way.

At the time node when the mirror body is anchored, he can exchange funds.

For example, the previously exchanged white chicken and rabbit.

"You have carefully read the four-line thousand-character text, and your merit +1."

"Deeds +1."

"100 meritorious deeds can be exchanged for the "diligence can make up for one's weakness" meritorious talent, do you agree to exchange?"
