At the age of twenty-five, Su Xun was pulled by Shi Yanfu and Chen Gongmei to play Emei Mountain thoroughly. On the way up the mountain, they heard that Minshan Mountain, which is hundreds of miles away from the northwest, is also magnificent, so they went to Minshan Mountain again and visited it for half a year. After enjoying the beautiful scenery of Minshan Mountain, Su Xun came back to rest for a few days, only to find that his wife was worried, but she didn't want to express anything. It turned out that Mrs. Cheng did not expect her husband to honor her ancestors, but pinned all her expectations on her two sons, teaching them to read and write all day, but lamented her lack of energy. Su Xun saw his stubbornness and inadequacy from her careful discipline of children, and he gradually realized that if he continued to be careless, he might fall into a situation where his sons laughed at him in the future, so he seriously pondered the future of himself and his family.
Soon after, his mother, Mrs. Shi, died unfortunately, and his second brother rushed home from other places and mourned for his mother for three years. When two brothers are together, it is inevitable to talk about their future. Su Huan deliberately asked, Third Brother, you have visited so many famous mountains and rivers. Can you write some articles to show me how beautiful the mountains and rivers on this paper are?
This really stumped Su Xun. He felt that his stomach was full of splendid rivers and mountains, but he didn't know how to spit on the paper. He can't draw or write, and his head is covered with sweat. Su Huanxiao smiled and changed the subject slightly. Don't worry, third brother. Brother, I have a wish. I want to ask my third brother for help. ? Su Xun hurriedly asked:? What wish? There is a lot of history in the ancestors of our Su family, but since the Tang Dynasty, we only know that Su Weidao, the secretariat of Meizhou, is our ancestor, and then it is blurred. From bottom to top, I only know that my grandfather's name is Su Gao and my great-grandfather's name is Su Hu. Since the third brother likes to travel everywhere, why not chat with some old people, and then check other people's genealogy and compile our Su family's genealogy? Su Huan said slowly. Hearing this, Su Xun found it interesting and agreed. The Cheng family and historians in Meishan are relatives. When Su Xun asked, he took out the genealogy and the letters of his ancestors. In addition, there are some old files in Meizhou House. Soon Su Xun traced back to the source and found the name of Su Weidao, the secretariat of the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, the deeds of this ancestor made his blood boil. Further, we found Su Jian and Su Jia in Han Dynasty, Su Wu and Su Xian, and Su Qin and Su Gong in pre-Qin period. At this time, Su Xun became more and more interested. In order to find out the origin of these people, he made himself a long list of books, and listed Historical Records, Hanshu, Zuozhuan, Guoyu and Warring States Policy before his bed, and read them through until his second brother? Ding, you? When his term of office expired, he left home and took office. At this time, Su Xun has been unable to stop. He found that he was willing to do something, but he had to study hard to express his ideas in words. He is 28 years old. After studying hard, become? Eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties? One.

Fools are also busy, and they have no spare time for a day. On the surface, they are making full use of their time, but from the beginning, we can't see any achievements. In fact, more than half of a fool's busy time is wasted on worthless things he can or can't do, and life disappears quietly in this minute.
