Back to Datang Jianzuo City

Chapter 144 Great Confucians of the Tang Dynasty
More than a month ago, Ding Yi promised to hold a public lecture in Huaminglou, saying that this world is round!

And because of an accident, Ding Yi was imprisoned for a month, and when he came out, he had already forgotten about it!

Just because he forgot, doesn't mean others will.

From time to time on the streets of Chang'an, people are advocating Ding Yi's round of events, and they don't say that Ding Yi was not held as scheduled, but they just induce people to mention it unconsciously.

That's good!It was not a big event at first, but after these people talked about it, many people thought of it for a while, and Ding didn't believe what he said, and everyone said it.

Although it is not necessary to block Ding Yi's door and talk, but one word spreads to ten, and ten to hundreds.Stories about Ding Yi's dishonesty began to spread throughout Chang'an, and even some of the foreign countries who came to pay tribute also declined the image of this Marquis of Shiping.

Terrible!
Those scholars and cultivators gathered in Chang'an one by one, just to listen to Ding Yi's lectures on the world.

Now that the person is here, what Ding Yi promised has not started more than ten days late!
Therefore, the properties under Ding Yi also suffered some losses, and the business was not as good as before.

You Ding Yi, a Marquis, said that he would give a public lecture on the theory of the circle of the earth. Everyone has prepared a small bench, but you have been slow to start. Are you playing with us?

And Ding Yi, on the second day back to Chang'an, received an invitation from Kong Yingda to visit Yan's mansion!
Old man Kong didn't say what was going on, Ding Yi just waited and watched, and didn't ask why you, Old man Kong, invited me to be a guest at someone else's house!

I haven't seen the old man for some days, Ding Yi still misses him, the old man is not bad, so Ding Yi also prepared some gifts, loaded them into the carriage and went to Yan's residence.

This Yan Mansion is Yan Silu's house.

It has to be said that the Yan family has a high status in Datang.Yan Silu's father, Yan Tuizhi, was an ancient writer and educator.Yan Silu himself is also very knowledgeable, and is now a great Confucian of the Tang Dynasty.

Yan Shigu himself is a Confucian scholar, classicist, linguist, and historian.Smart and eager to learn, good at exegesis.

That's not all, Yan Zhenqing, the grandson of Yan Silu's grandson!A famous calligrapher, he synthesized "Yan Liu" with Liu Gongquan.

Tut tut!This is a true family of poems and books!

When Ding Yi arrived, there were already people waiting at the door, Ding Yi didn't talk nonsense, and entered the mansion with the servants of Yan's mansion.

When he got to the living room, Ding Yi was stunned. There were several old men sitting in the living room, all stroking their long and white beards, and looking at Ding Yi at the door with scrutiny.

At a glance, I don't know each other!

Kong Yingda hurriedly grabbed Ding Yi and introduced them one by one.

Yan Silu, Yan Shigu, Ouyang Xun, Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang, Li Gang, my God!
These are all cultural people!I have also learned the deeds of these people's poetry collections in elementary school texts, and now I have seen it with my own eyes. The author can't explain this feeling clearly to you. Celebrities from more than 1000 years ago, sitting in front of you alive, or forming a group...

This time Ding Yi was not presumptuous, and saluted respectfully one by one.

These people also accepted it cheerfully, but Chu Suiliang and Yan Shigu were more polite.After all, Ding Yi is also a marquis, and their reputation is not yet prominent.

"Ding Xiaoyou, the old man asked Zhongda to invite you here because he wanted to meet you, a young talent. I admire you very much for what you have done! All the common people in the world have received your favor!" Yan Silu stroked his beard, Satisfied with praise.

"Master Yan is serious, this is a boy's job! Worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later, this is what my generation should do." Ding Yi unceremoniously interpreted Fan Zhongyan's words I don't know if he will pay tuition to learn this passage from himself in the future!

"Hahahaha!"

"it is good!"

"It's such a 'worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's joys later', I can't think of my little friend at this age, I can have such an understanding! The old man has been taught!"

When several people heard Ding Yi's words, they laughed and praised, and their praise was overflowing.

"Seniors, just call the boy Ding Yi, but it's a bad boy. I really can't afford it!" Ding Yi is not used to being called a little friend by several old men. These people are all famous and important. .Relying on his advanced knowledge to get their approval, Ding Yi also wanted Bilian!
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so humble. I saw you flaunting your teeth and claws and glibly speaking in the court hall, and thought you were too naughty. Now it seems that the old man is stupid!" Yu Shinan has seen Ding Yichao's deeds before, but now Seeing a different Ding Yi, and judging by his expression, he didn't seem to be fake, and his attitude changed all of a sudden.

"There are a lot of jealous people in the court, and the boy did it to protect himself. Everyone here is a great Confucianist at that time, and the boy admires him very much! How can he lose etiquette, respect the old and love the young, yes The virtues of my Great Tang. How could the boy act recklessly like Chaotang!" This is what Ding Yi said in his heart. People say that talking about people when they see people, and talking nonsense when they see people, may not be all derogatory.

With a good start, Ding Yi also had a lively chat with these old men and two middle-aged people.

Several people's understanding of Ding Yi also increased repeatedly, and they deeply lamented that this son is extraordinary.

After a while, we talked about pinyin again. These people are dedicated to learning, and they are even more determined to educate the people. With pinyin, their wish is one step closer.

Ding Yi also appropriately said some of his own suggestions on education, and several people nodded repeatedly, obviously agreeing.

The chatter was dry, and Ding Yi didn't like to drink tea soup, so he asked someone to brew the tea leaves they brought for everyone to taste.

After drinking, the old men nodded their praises, the original taste, without those condiments, but the original fragrance and bitterness of the tea are revealed.

Li Gang even shouted, the way is simple!

After a while, we talked about Ding Yi's theory of the circle of the earth. The old men are all listening to the things that have been circulated in Chang'an recently.

They knew Ding Yi's recent movements, and they didn't think that Ding Yi didn't keep his word like those people outside.

"Then I don't know when Ding Xiaoyou started the public teaching of the circle theory here?" Ouyang Xun held the teacup, smelled the fragrance of the tea, and acted gracefully.

"This is my negligence. I have free time now, and it will start in a few days! At that time, I hope you gentlemen will appreciate it!" Ding Yi also listened to Lao Bai's report, not for anything else, but for his own business. Hold it!
"At that time, Xiaoyou Ding, don't think we old men are annoying!" Li Gang, like Ouyang Xun, was also holding a teacup to taste carefully, obviously liking the tea.

"Hey, how could it be! It's too late to welcome you!" Ding Yi said hilariously.

"Hahaha……"
