Chapter 281： rebuke

"Zhu Zi's Commentary" is Zhu Xi's "Four Books, Chapters and Sentences", a masterpiece that covers the "Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Analects", "Mencius" and the Five Classics.

Because of their respect for Zhu Xi, later generations changed the Annotation of the Four Books and Sentences to Zhu Zi Annotation. A book is expensive, but it is not so expensive, right? Besides, it's just a reference book.

Mu Yangling is not very willing to buy this book by his younger brother. It is much easier to read the book with the annotations of this book, but students are even less able to think about it by themselves, and what they have learned is even more superficial.

But she doesn't want to wrong her brother, everyone has it.

Mr.    asked a question, and other students took out the book and understood what it meant, but my younger brother had to rack his brains to think about it and seek proof, which seemed a little pitiful.

The shopkeeper explained: "This is a beautiful version, much better than other versions."

"So there are other versions?" It's just a reference book, don't buy such a good one.

"..." The shopkeeper: "I'm sorry girl and son, the other editions happened to be sold out. There are only two exquisite editions now. If you wait for other editions, you will have to wait until the end of the year."

You replenished so late, why is business still so good?

Mu Yangling flipped through the "Notes on Zhu Zi", but still felt that it was unnecessary to buy such a beautiful reference book, so he said: "Why don't we go to another place to go around? If there are separate volumes, we will buy "Mencius" and "The Analects of Confucius" Two volumes will suffice."

Bowen asked in a daze: "Why don't you buy a whole book?"

The scholar next to her was also a little dissatisfied. She saw that Mu Yangling bought a lot of useless books, but she was reluctant to spend money on her younger brother who was studying. With the gentleman's style of helping Lu Jian's injustice, the scholar treated Mu Yangling sternly. Said: "This girl, reading is the real business for men. A copy of Zhu Zi's Commentary is expensive, but as long as you buy a few miscellaneous books, you can buy it. You know the importance of a "Zhu Zi's Commentary" to readers. ?"

He looked at the exquisite and heavy book in Mu Yangling's hand with nostalgic eyes, and said, "How many students save money for a few years just to buy a copy of Zhu Zi's Notes."

"I don't think "Zhu Zi's Commentary" is so important," Mu Yangling snorted coldly, "I only know how many teachers and students' brains have been ruined by one "Zhu Zi's Commentary", and it is because of this book that Mr. , the students translated the four books according to this, and the opinions of the articles are almost the same, what’s so good about this?”

After speaking, he turned his head and scolded Bo Wen with a cold face, "Don't say that we haven't bought this book now, even if I buy it back, I won't allow you to read it easily. If you let me know that Mr. assigned you your homework, and you copy the handout above, I'll hit you. There is "Shuowen Jiezi" at home. You can break sentences and translate them yourself. If you don't understand, ask, ask your classmates, ask your husband, this book can only be used for reference at most, if you let me know that you take this as a golden rule , I not only burned this book for you, but you also went to the ancestral hall to kneel for me."

Mu Yangling's anger frightened Bowen and Xiuhong. She has always loved them and seldom got angry. Even when she was angry, she mostly reasoned with them in a soft voice, and seldom made such a big fire.

Xiuhong tugged at his cousin's sleeve, and Bowen lowered his head to admit his mistake, "Yes."

Mu Yangling snorted and stared at "Zhu Zi's Annotations" for a while, but put it in the stack of books.

All the scholars in the bookstore looked over, some glared at Mu Yangling, felt that she had insulted Zhu Zi, and some bowed their heads thoughtfully.

The scholar who preached to Mu Yangling before took two steps back after being silent for a long time, and solemnly bowed to Mu Yangling, "Girl, thank you for waking up the dreamer, I understand why Mr. Interpretation of sentences is not allowed to read "Zhu Zi's Commentary"."

Mu Yangling gave him a strange look, and said in a voice that only the few of them heard: "Your husband must regret accepting a student like you."

The scholar didn't expect that he would thank the little girl, but the little girl even humiliated him, and her face flushed for a while, and just as she was about to get angry, she heard the little girl sigh, "The reason why your husband doesn't know what to say is because he can't say it, think about it. Think of Zhu Xi's influence among scholars now, silly boy!"

The scholar's face turned even redder. He was not angry, but ashamed. He felt that he was ashamed of Mr.

Because of the little girl's "silly child", she was called a silly child by an eleven- or twelve-year-old child...

The shopkeeper also looked at Mu Yangling in surprise, but he didn't say anything, just seeing that they had already decided, he asked, "Do you want to look at those school utensils? Our pen, ink and paper are also cheaper than those outside. Some."

"The shopkeeper, we bought so many things, you have to count us as being cheaper," Xiuhong, who hadn't said a word, started to bargain.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, seeing Mu Yangling also looking at him, he nodded with a smile, "This is no problem."

"Bowen, choose some more paper, don't you have enough pen and ink?"

Bo Wen has recovered from the reprimand just now, and ran to choose a lot of paper. As the shopkeeper said, the paper here is indeed cheaper than the county seat, so buy a little more.

Mu Yangling propped his chin and sat while watching his brother move everything he liked like a hard-working rat.

She couldn't help feeling the money in the sack, but luckily she brought all the money with her, otherwise she wouldn't dare to buy things with confidence.

But everyone was horrified, and even the shopkeeper was suspicious. Are their parents really so relieved to let their children bring so much money to buy books?

They don't look like they are very rich.

Bowen brought a box of ink over with a smile on his face, and said with satisfaction: "Sister, I've finished buying it."

Mu Yangling pushed the thing to the shopkeeper, "You can count the money, but you have to give me something cheaper."

The shopkeeper took out his abacus and started fighting, and finally said: "A total of fifty-two or three coins." The shopkeeper was silent for a while, and said, "I don't want these three coins, you can just give me fifty-two taels. ."

Mu Yangling looked at Xiuhong, but Xiuhong put her eyes on the pile of papers at the door, took a dozen directly from the top, and said, "The shopkeeper, we bought so much, just give us a few dozen papers."

The bookstore is a place of literature, how can it smell like copper?

People who come to buy books never bargain, so it’s okay for this person to bargain with him, but he even has to start, thinking it’s a vegetable market to buy vegetables?

The shopkeeper's face became serious, and he said, "Girl, our bookstore always does not bargain. The reason why the three money is missing is because you bought more than fifty taels at one time."

Xiuhong looked at him tearfully, holding a dozen papers, "Uncle, I know, but this time we spent so much money, my grandma is definitely not happy, if you give us a few dozen papers, my grandma might don't blame us."

The shopkeeper opened his mouth and asked, "Don't your family know when you came out to buy books?"
