Everyone reads the same books. Why others are better than you is because they are better at reading than you. So Xue Lang asked Jiang Lin, ”what books have you ever read?”

Jiang Lin said: ”read most of the Confucian classics in circulation, but also read several military books.”

Xue Lang asked again, ”to what extent? Intensive reading, comprehensive reading or rough reading? Maybe recite the whole book? ”

Jiang Lin was stuck and couldn't answer for a moment. After thinking about it, he said, ”all military books can be recited. Most of the Confucian classics can also be recited. When he was filial piety, he read several Taoist Scriptures and Buddhist scriptures.”

”Have you ever read history books? Have you ever read the code? ”

Jiang Lin said: ”I have read the spring and Autumn Annals, but I have not read the code.”

Xue Lang said: ”from tomorrow on, I will be nearby. When you don't need a guard, you will study at home. First read the code of law, then read the book of rites, and then from the spring and Autumn Annals, all the historical records, the records of the Three Kingdoms, and the book of Han should be read. All the historical books that can be found should be read first, not only through reading, but also intensive reading. Every time you read them, you should write your reading notes and experience. ”

Jiang Lin touched his head and said, ”Why are historical books and codes? I thought my elder brother would let me read more Confucian classics. ”

Xue Lang looked at him with a smile and explained, ”if you are 30 years old, I will not let you read the code, I will only let you read the history books. You are only 18 years old. You are at an age when your heart is higher than the sky and you are full of fighting spirit. At this age, vigor and spirit are enough. What you lack is the understanding of the rules. Life in the world is not a lonely person. If you want to communicate with others, integrate into the society, and walk in this world, you must learn the rules of the aristocratic family. As the saying goes, rules are dead, people are alive. Smart people can live with the rules, fools stick to the rules, both of which generally do not live too hard. ”

Jiang Lin thought for a moment and said, ”brother, do you mean to let me obey the rules?”

Xue Lang laughs and shakes his head, way: ”also, also not.”

”What's the answer?”

This is not Jiang Lin asked, but a female voice. Xue Lang looked out in a hurry, but Princess Pingyang and Liu Nanguan were standing outside the door.

two brothers hurriedly rose to salute: ”have seen the princess your highness!”

”No gift! Seeing that Youyang was teaching ah Lin, his words were witty and he was fascinated. I didn't let anyone report it. I didn't expect to hear such a wonderful argument. Why let Jiang Er Lang see the ceremony first, and Youyang will tell you quickly. ”

Princess Royal came in the best of spirits, and the path sat first, pressing Xue Lang to catch up and say. Xue Lang asked Liu to go out to prepare tea. Then she said, ”as I said just now, 18 is the age with the highest heart. To read the code first is to make you understand the height of heaven and earth, and let you understand the boundary of behavior. If you read the book of rites again, you can understand the common customs. If you read these two books, you can go to the world. ”

”Wonderful!”

Pingyang Princess clapped her hands and exclaimed, ”this is a wonderful saying, quite a way to do the best of the situation in the world.”

Liu female official couldn't help but interposed: ”dare to ask Xue Zhubo, it's good to know the law and observe the etiquette, but what if you meet someone who is lawless and has no etiquette?”

Xue Lang showed his hand: ”you have already occupied a reasonable position. If you are good at making use of it, don't you just advance and retreat from your heart?”? Code of rites is dead, man is alive. Since he has occupied a reasonable position, what are you afraid of him doing? There is a saying that people are afraid; there is a saying that people live a face, a tree live a skin. If you meet someone who wants to face, you will know the law and abide by etiquette, and you can go through it. ”
