When Xu Ruzi was nine years old, she tasted the drama under the moon. People say, "If there is nothing on the moon, it should be extremely evil, right?" Xu said, "Otherwise. For example, there is a scorpion in a person's eye. Without this, it is not known. "

Translation:

When Xu Ruzi was nine years old, she often played in the moonlight. Someone said to him, "If there is nothing on the moon, will it be very bright?" Xu Ruzi said, "No, it's just like people have pupils in their eyes. Without them, their eyes are not bright. "

At that time, people agreed with Xu Ruzi's character, saying that he was virtuous and respected him. The government levied him as an official many times, but he refused. As for the reason, people can imagine that his official position is too low, and they can also conclude that he knows the weather like the back of his hand.

Xu Ruzi studied under Jiangxia scholar Huang Qiong. Later, when Huang Qiong was in a high position, Xu Ruzi cut off contact with him and repeatedly refused Huang Qiong's invitation. After Huang Qiong died, Xu Ruzi walked thousands of miles to pay his respects. Arrived at the grave, cried and bowed, and left without giving the Huang family a name. Everyone was talking at that time, and I didn't know who it was.
