Master Kong Zhongni

Chapter 259
While talking, Huhui led Zaiyu to the carriage.

He came to the side of the carriage and lightly knocked the window, then lifted the curtain, Zaiyu looked into the carriage, and saw a young boy who was holding a thick bamboo slip and read in ecstasy.

Huhui saw it, coughed lightly, and then said with a smile: "Little gentleman, why don't you get out of the car and meet Master Zai?"

Hearing this, the boy first rubbed his sore and swollen eyes, then raised his eyes to look at Huhui ignorantly.

"Have you reached Tuqiu yet?"

Huhui heard this, and couldn't help laughing and explained to Zaiyu who was beside him: "This kid is usually obsessed with poetry and books, and he is reticent. He is immature in dealing with people, please forgive me."

Zai Yu glanced at the bamboo slips in the boy's hand, and found that most of the ropes used to weave the book were worn out.

It seems that this kid is not pretending to study hard, but really loves reading and studying.

Zaiyu couldn't help but feel relieved: "It seems that he should be able to save me from worrying than Ban!"

During these days, Zhao Wuxie was not in Tuqiu, and he almost drove this unscrupulous boy, Gongshuban, crazy.

Perhaps because the family members have been artisans for generations, Gongshuban's way of studying is quite different from ordinary Confucian students, and has a strong unique color of artisans.

Zaiyu's method of teaching students is generally a continuation of the teacher's education method.

That is, let it develop freely first, and then enlighten the students when they encounter problems. If the students still can't understand, then they will give an answer.

Zhao Wuji is quite comfortable with this system, but Gongshuban is quite dissatisfied with this teaching method.

When Gongshuban encounters a problem, he always brings a book to Jae Yu immediately for an answer, and never leaves the problem until the next day to solve it.

If Gongshu Pan only asked about the way of being a man, or about the deeds of the ancient sage kings, then Zaiyu would naturally have no trouble dealing with it.

But the problem is, this kid never asks these questions.

The reason why he memorized poems, books, rites and music was always to find Zaiyu to unlock the next stage of mathematical knowledge.

Because according to Zaiyu's regulations, if the poetry, book, ritual and music are not up to the standard, you cannot enter the next stage of study.

Because of this, the questions asked by Gongshu Ban are mainly based on mathematics and supplemented by physics.

If it's just textbook knowledge, then Zaiyu will recognize it, but the craftsman spirit of Gongshuban is too strong, and he will figure out some new products by himself from time to time.

As soon as a new product is made, new problems will naturally be discovered.

If you find a new problem, of course you have to come to Jae Yu to answer him.

At the beginning, Zaiyu could also use his rich knowledge reserve to explain a thing or two to him.

But later, Gongshuban asked more and more profound questions, and Zaiyu didn't know how to explain it when he first mentioned it.

So I had to find an excuse to leave, wait until night to go to the library to catch up, and then answer for Gongshuban the next morning.

Under the "supervision" of Gongshuban, Jaeyu's science knowledge has been solidified a lot, but on the other hand, his daily work is really tiring.

For Zaiyu, going to Qufu to fight against Yanghu is easier than teaching students.

Even, because Zaiyu was tired of coping with Gongshuban's 'suicidal' questions, he had the idea of ​​throwing this kid to Zigong for teaching.

Although Zigong does not have the blessing of a library, he is still the leader of Confucian mathematics and the founder of Tuqiu economics.

Tuqiu's "commodity" trade, various business taxes, input expenditures of dozens of business trips, profit and loss of hundreds of commodities, he can clearly calculate it, and it should be more than enough to deal with an eight or nine-year-old boy. Not a problem.

Compared with teaching science students who are seriously partial like Gongshuban, Zaiyu still prefers to teach talents with balanced development in all aspects.

In a word, it's not that the class boy is not good, but that Master Zai really can't teach him!

Zai Yu looked at the bewildered boy in front of him, and couldn't help asking: "I don't know what your name is?"

After hearing this, the boy didn't answer first, but walked out of the carriage, and after bowing to Zaiyu under the guidance of Huhui, he opened his mouth.

"Si surname, Bu surname, famous merchant, because it has not reached the crown, there is no character yet."

Si surname?

Is it another descendant of the Xiahou clan?

It seems that the Bu family is indeed as Huhui said, his family should inherit the position of grand divination.

Fortune teller...

and many more?

Zai Yu's brain suddenly twitched.

Isn't this Zixia?

Jae Yu didn't feel anything at first, he thought it was just the difference between one more student and one student less.

But if it's Zixia, then it's not a question of whether to accept it or not!

This is the second place in literature among the ten philosophers of Confucianism, just like Zaiyu and Zigong.

The absolute leadership core of the Xihe School of Wei in the future.

The ancestral figure of the Jin and Legalists.

Military strategist Wu Qi, an important representative of the Jin Legalists Li Kui, the Prime Minister of the State of Wei, Gongyang Gao, the founder of the Gongyang School of Confucianism, Gu Liangchi, the founder of the Guliang School of Confucianism, and the mentor of Wei Wenhou, the founder of the Wei State.

Hi!

Little Heizi of the Legalists, showing his chicken feet here?
Shang Yang, Han Fei, and Shen Buhai, you three listen to me.

Don't think that if you are born late, the Zaizi will not be able to educate you, and you will give me some points in your heart. Tuqiu's master is the master. Apart from revising the Zhou rituals and annotating poems and books every day, you three should not take advantage of the loopholes and play tricks there. .

If you want to play your game, go play it yourself, don't use the banner of the master to put gold on your face, who is disgusting if you leave it there every day?
And Xiao Dong, as the academic leader of the Gongyang faction, Zaizi appreciates you for revitalizing the association's prestige.

But the cage you put on Emperor Wu with the induction between heaven and man is really not very strong, and it can be kicked open with one kick, Zaizi doesn't like it very much.

If I don't succeed in this life, I may need to rely on you, Xiao Dong, to revive the club in the future.

In this way, Zaizi will leave some clues for you in the biography of Gongyang, Xiaodong, please pay more attention.

Thinking of this, the exhaustion on Jae Yu's body was swept away, and even a smile appeared on his face.

Master!

Don't worry, old man, now that the relationship between teachers and students has changed, those little bastards will not be able to tamper with your theory in the book in the future.

Heaven will send great tasks to people, and they must first toil their muscles and bones, starve their bodies, empty their bodies, and mess up their actions, so they have to move their hearts and patience, which has benefited what they can't do.

Master, although Zixia and I have messed up our seniority, I will bear this crime for you!
Seeing Jae Yu's bright smile, Bu Shang felt less afraid of this stranger in his heart.

He couldn't help asking: "Are you Tuqiu's master?"

Zai Yu asked with a smile: "Have you met other Master Zai?"

Bu Shang didn't speak when he heard the words, but just shook his head.

Zhao Wuji saw it, ran over with a smile, and grabbed Bu Shang's hand.

"Shang! Didn't I tell you everything on the way? The master is not very old, but you still don't believe it.

However, although the master is young, his knowledge is the best in the past and the present. Don't you like to read the "Yi Zhuan" written by the master?

If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask it now! "

After hearing this, Bu Shang picked up the bamboo slip in his hand, unfolded it, looked at it, shook his head and put it back.

Seeing this, Zhao Wuxi couldn't help wondering, "What are you doing?"

Bu Shangdao: "Before I set off, my father once told me a story.

Said that Bole recorded in his book "The Classic of Horses" that "a high forehead, bright eyes, and big hooves are good horses".

Once, Bole's son went to identify a horse with the "Book of Appreciation of Horses". He saw a toad and said to his father: "I found a thousand-mile horse that meets all other requirements, except that the hoof is not big enough!" '

Bole then followed his son to see the Chollima, and saw that what his son found was a toad, he laughed angrily and said, "The horse you caught is really good, but you love jumping too much to ride it!" '

Reading should be done after gaining self-understanding. Now I have simply finished reading "The Book of Changes", but have not yet formed an opinion on its connotation.

If you take "Yi Zhuan" to ask the master now, it is like Bole's son asks Bole with "Xianma Jing", although you can get a positive answer.

But when it comes to actual implementation, it is a thousand miles away, so I don't ask Master Zai for his opinion now. "

When Zaiyu heard the words, he looked at the Bu Shang in surprise.

Not only is he smart, but also has a strong ability to learn independently. This kid is simply another copy of Yan Hui.

No wonder in the original timeline, after Yan Hui's early death, the Master's most valued disciple was Zi Xia.

However, the biggest difference between Zi Xia and Yan Hui is that Yan Hui is a recluse of the secular school, while Zi Xia is a pragmatic man of the world school.

Zaiyu said with a smile: "It's reasonable to believe in books. It's better to have no books. If you don't have your own opinions, why bother to read?"
If you don't read books, how can you generate insights that adapt to the present with reference to the past and the present?

But having said that, where did your father know my name and trust you so much to send you to study by my side? "

When Zhao Wuxie heard this, he immediately said as if asking for credit: "Of course you listened to me!"

"Oh?"

Zaiyu turned his head to look at him, and felt that Zhao Wuji's personality had changed a lot during the period of studying with him. Presumably, he was influenced by Gongshuban and stayed away from the bullying and fighting in the family, so his whole person also changed. Be more and more cheerful.

"How do you say this?"

Zhao Wujiu said: "That day when Taibu came to visit the palace as a guest, my father thought about asking him to help with fortune-telling and divination, and called all the children in the family over, and asked us to perform and recite "Poetry" in front of Taibu. ".

Taibo's interest came, so he took a few "Poems" to test us, and later asked us the truth in "Yi".

You have taught me these things before, so I answered them all.

Taibo knew that I had never enrolled in Pangong, so he was surprised that I could answer these questions.

So he asked me why, and I told him your name and told him that I was studying with you.

So Tai Bu asked my father to bring his youngest son, Shang, with me the next time I went back to Tuqiu. "

Zai Yu didn't expect that at such a young age, Zhao Wujiu would actually learn how to help his wife become famous.

Zai Yu was about to praise him, but Zhao Wuxie changed the subject and continued happily.

"That's not enough! After I returned home, my sister was very happy to see that I had learned so much knowledge in a year.

She also likes to read your works very much. You see, my sister is about to reach her age, so why don't you consider marrying my sister?
I asked my father, and it seems that he has no objection to this marriage. If you are willing to go and marry me, my wife and I can become relatives by marriage! "

Zai Yu was still smiling happily, but when he heard Zhao Wuxie's words, his mouth twisted, and he almost twitched.

What kind of unfolding method is this? How can a child's thinking escape so much?
The whole one turns like the wind.

Originally, he was planning to come up with the method of coaxing children as he did before, and casually fool Zhao Wuxie with a few words to expose this matter.

Unexpectedly, Huhui on the side smiled and said: "I heard that Zaizi, you are not married yet, right? From my point of view, what you say about the little gentleman is not unreasonable. With my Zhao family As a foreign aid for you, your position in the country of Lu must be more stable."

When Zai Yu heard this, his heart trembled.

For Zhao Wuxie, he can be as innocent as a child expressing his affection.

But if Hu would say that, he had to carefully consider whether Zhao Yang meant it.

If this was Zhao Yang's order and Zhao's preliminary attempt to seek a political marriage, then once Zaiyu refused, the original harmonious relationship between the two parties would inevitably crack.

After all, in this day and age, marriage has never been a personal matter between a man and a woman, but is related to the union of two families, or even two countries.

Although the effect of the oath still existed during the Spring and Autumn Period, most of the time, no one dared to openly betray the oath.

But no matter what kind of oath, it is not as real and direct as marriage.

Most of the wives of Lu's previous kings were the daughters of the Duke of Qi.

And a considerable part of Qihou's wives are women from the Duke of Lu.

Although Lu and Qi have been separated and reunited for so many years, they still maintain a decent overall. Although there is an exchange of interests at the political level, the diplomatic efforts of the wives of the two countries cannot be ignored. blood relationship.

Although Lu Xuangong's wife, Mu Jiang, has a bad reputation because of her lack of personal morality.

However, after the death of Duke Xuan, when Mu Jiang replaced his youngest son as the ruler of the state, the two countries maintained peace for quite a long time, and even Qi State voluntarily returned several cities that had previously occupied Lu State because of Mu Jiang’s lobbying. Yap.

If Zaiyu really marries Zhao Wuji's sister Ji Ying, his political status in Lu State will undoubtedly have a huge leap.

Because, this means that Zaiyu will bid farewell to the nouveau riche stage and completely enter the upper circle of the old nobles in the spring and Autumn period.

Jai Yu was hesitating, and Ran Qiu at the side saw his struggle.

Ran Qiu took a step forward and whispered in Zaiyu's ear.

"Once upon a time, Uncle Dong of the state of Jin was going to marry Fan Yang's younger sister, Fan Qi.

Uncle Xiang said: "Fan's family is rich, I think this marriage will be fine!" '

Uncle Dong replied: "I am trying to use the connection of marriage to cling to the Fan family." '

One day after the marriage, Fan Qi told Fan Yang, "Uncle Dong doesn't respect me." '

So Fan Yang arrested Dong Shu, tied him up, and hung him on the locust tree in the yard.

It happened that Uncle Xiang passed by there, and Uncle Dong said, "Why don't you intercede for me?" '

Uncle Xiang said: "You used to seek contact, but now you have tied it; if you want to climb, you have already climbed it."You've got everything you want, what more can you ask for? '

After speaking, Shu Xiang turned and left.

The Zhao family is strong, but the Zai family is weak.Although the matter of marrying the Zhao family is beautiful, it is a big matter. I hope you can think about it carefully. This is by no means a matter that can be decided easily. "

　I heard it, the monthly pass in your pocket seems to be crying.
