Ji Tang

Chapter 1260 What kind of immortal nobleman is this?
In a small courtyard in the east of the city, you can see a little girl scratching something on the ground through the fence, with a serious look on her face, as if she is doing something important to herself.

Liu Yi said a little lonely: "Even she doesn't have a serious name. Everyone calls her little girl. This child is also sensible. She didn't cry or make trouble after knowing that she couldn't study. She also persuaded her grandfather not to work hard for him anymore. The sensible Ling People feel sad!”

Ji Song did not comment on Liu Yi's words. The world has never been fair.God gave this girl a talent far beyond that of others, but did not give her a stage to display her talent.

There are too many people like this in the world, and how many talented people live, grow old, get sick and die in obscurity.As time goes by, their talents will be overwhelmed by firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and some may be remembered a little!

"Daniu, knock on the door!"

Dan Niu was stunned, looking at the low fence and the firewood door that fell down when he pushed it. Could it be that he didn't realize where the door was for a while?

After finally finding something that looked like a door, I walked forward.

The reason why he solemnly asked people to knock on the door was because in a short period of time, the little girl never noticed them who could be seen when she raised her eyes.With such concentration and seriousness, he couldn't bear to be disturbed!

The world has always been tolerant of beauties and geniuses. This may be the respect for beauty and wisdom engraved in their bones.

Bang Bang~
Daniel knocked on the door cautiously, always worried that he might accidentally knock it down.

Finally, after knocking on the door for the third time, the little girl raised her confused head, not knowing what had happened.

"You are."

Finally, she looked outside. When she saw a group of people appearing at her door, he looked a little panicked, like a frightened kitten, which was heartbreaking!

"Little girl, do you still remember Uncle Liu?"

At this time, Liu Yi stepped forward and said with a smile.This was not the first time he met the little girl. Old man Zhang had taken him to the academy before, just to prove his granddaughter's ability.

But he came here with excitement and returned with disappointment, but the little girl respected the person in front of him who could teach him how to read.After seeing that it was Uncle Liu, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she stepped forward and said, "Girl, open the door for uncle right now!"

When the door opened, Ji Song finally saw the little girl's whole face!

Ill-fitting clothes and dirty hands, but her hair is extremely clean.Her slightly fair face showed that her grandfather had always protected her very well.

Yes, when you meet such a caring and smart child, you will take care of him in every possible way!
Of course, beasts don’t count!
"Uncle Liu, please come in quickly!"

She opened the door and said a little cautiously.

However, the way he glanced at Ji Song from time to time betrayed the uneasiness in her heart. Also, Ji Song was the Duke of Xi and a general, and countless people died indirectly at his hands. How could a little girl bear such power? ?

Walking into the yard, I took a quick glance and made a pretty good guess about the situation in his home.

Although Old Man Zhang could not allocate land due to his own reasons, he helped the county government with the help of the government. He was better than the poor. Although his life was tight, he did not have to worry about food and drink, but that was it!

"Little girl, come here, uncle, let me introduce you!"

He pulled the little girl and said to Ji Song: "This child is eight years old today. He is the one we all have watched grow up. He is extremely smart and very sensible!"

After speaking, he pointed at Ji Song and said: "This is the elder of my wife's family. His knowledge in his lifetime is a hundred times or a thousand times better than that of his uncle. Why don't you go and pay homage!"

Ji Song glared at Liu Yi angrily. He said it so nicely. Did he make up his mind to accept a disciple?
Facing his uncle's expression, Liu Yi pretended not to notice and looked at the confused little girl encouragingly!

Finally summoning up the courage, she lowered her head and said to Ji Song: "Little girl has met grandpa!"

cough~
Ji Song coughed and almost didn't get called over by Grandpa.grandfather?When did you become a grandfather when you were away from home?Of course, not counting his own sons and nephews, there was nothing he could do about it given his seniority!

"Ahem~ wake up!"

There was a silence for a while, but fortunately Liu Yi on the side spoke.

"What were you doing just now?"

The little girl was a little nervous when she heard this, but when she saw the encouraging look in her uncle's eyes and looked at her silent grandpa, she didn't know what it meant for a moment even though she was so smart.
"I'm practicing calligraphy!"

Although he had some guesses, Ji Song was still a little touched. He remembered that when his family was poor, he also practiced calligraphy on the sand table. He remembered how the little girl's serious look just now was similar to his back then.

If it weren't for the encounter with his father-in-law Xie Lian, maybe he wouldn't have grown up so quickly.Everyone will always meet one or two noble people in their life, and Xie Lian is his first noble person!
"May I take a look at it?"

Ji Song said in a soliciting tone, as if he was worried about frightening the little girl!
The little girl was silent for a long time, then turned around and came to the ground not far away. Ji Song looked down and saw a few big characters written crookedly on the ground.

"I don't write well, you guys are not allowed to laugh at me!"

To be honest, if you hadn't seen the tearful look on his face, you would have thought it was the shyness of a little girl!

After looking hard for a while, I finally recognized the words on the ground, which turned out to be the beginning of the Analects of Confucius: A friend comes from afar, I am so happy!
Is this God's will?
"Mr. Liu? Why are you here?"

At this moment, a voice of surprise came from behind.I saw an old man who was full of fatigue, but his face was full of surprise.Who else could it be if it wasn't the old man Zhang I saw yesterday?
"Eh? Lang Jun? Why is it you?"

When he saw Ji Song, he was full of doubts. He was too impressed by the person in front of him.Although he had not seen any big shots in so many years, he had recently seen and heard that he was a general who was a duke of the country, passing through Heyang City with thousands of troops.

But compared to that person, this person is far better.Although he couldn't explain it clearly, the aura on his body made him clearly realize that the person in front of him was either rich or noble!

"Old man, this is my wife's elder. He just came to Heyang City yesterday. He heard about your little girl and wanted to come and take a look!"

After speaking, he glanced at Ji Song and said with a hint: "You have to treat me well. My elder, who is in the Tang Dynasty and wants to join his sect, can be arranged to go to the Western Regions in the long run."

Old man Zhang is not stupid, but very shrewd. He understood what Liu Yi meant!
Hearing this, his eyes lit up and he looked at Ji Song with an extremely flattering look!
"Your distinguished guest, please wait a moment. Little girl, hurry up and serve your distinguished guest some tea!"

After ordering the little girl, he wasn't worried and said he was going out to buy something.Ji Song wanted to stop him but there was no one left in sight!

"Look at the good things you have done? Are you so sure that I will accept her?"

He looked at the careless guy angrily and said, "Being my disciple, Ji Song, is not that easy. You don't even want to ask around. I have four disciples, one brother is a marquis, and the only female disciple is also a hero among women. If she is just This is not enough!”

But Liu Yi was not surprised at all. He just smiled and said: "You can just give it a try. I guarantee that you will be satisfied!"

Ji Song was noncommittal. After a while, the little girl came out, but when she saw so many people but only a few cups, she felt a little embarrassed!

"Daniu, go and move the things here, you don't have any eyesight!"

big cow:"."

Soon, the things on the carriage were moved out one by one, and only the exquisite coffee table, porcelain, and fragrant tea were seen. Although the little girl had longing in her eyes, she only glanced at it and began to help cautiously.

Ji Song didn't stop him. He wanted to see what this girl was capable of, and she was so praised by Liu Yi!
When everyone sat down, the little girl also sat down under Ji Song's semi-force.Looking at the aggrieved girl, Ji Song smiled inwardly. "This is a book, you read it first!"

Ji Song took out a Three-Character Scripture and handed it to the little girl. The little girl couldn't help but take it in her hand with her surprised eyes!
A long while later, after the little girl read the last page, Ji Song suddenly said: "Sexually similar, what does Xi Xiangyuan mean?"

The little girl was stunned, but in Ji Song's surprised eyes, she heard the little girl's clear voice: "This sentence means that people are born with pure nature, they are close to each other, and they have been cultivated over time. habits, but they are very different from each other.”

Ji Song: "."

Is this the understanding of an eight-year-old child?
"Then if you refuse to be taught, your nature will change?"

"If you are not educated well from childhood, your good nature will turn bad."

"If you don't learn, it's not appropriate!"

"It is very inappropriate for children to refuse to study hard."

Ji Song was silent. Thinking that his child was still disgusting with people at this time, he suddenly felt a sense of emotion: how could the differences between people be so great!

The Three-Character Classic seems simple, and people think it is an enlightenment book for children. However, it is not simple to read the Three-Character Classic thoroughly, understand every allusion, and have your own thoughts!
But no matter how she asked, the little girl always answered fluently.

"Have you read this book?"

The little girl shook her head and said: "No, I just heard other people read it, and I heard what they said. But I think there is something wrong with him!"

"What's wrong?" Ji Song asked.

The little girl tilted her head and said, "Because I once heard someone read a book. The book said that people are originally evil by nature, but the Three Character Classic says that people are originally good by nature. Who is right?"

Ji Song was silent. He turned to look at Liu Yi who looked embarrassed and said, "You still call me Xunzi?"

"Well, maybe a student learned it privately?"

Ji Song glared at this dishonest guy, believing you to be a ghost.He now had the feeling that he was mistaken. There was definitely something that this guy was hiding from him.

Xunzi's thought can be said to be a representative of the inherent evil of human nature. The advanced nature of his thought will have great reference significance even for later generations.However, the theory of governance in his thoughts was extremely unfounded, and he advocated using violence to fight violence. His disciples Han Fei and Li Si were his representatives.

Therefore, in the early Han Dynasty, the Han family advocated Huang-Lao's learning and ruled by doing nothing!During the Han Dynasty, Confucianism was only respected, hundreds of schools of thought were deposed, and the thoughts of Confucius and Mencius were the dominant ones.

Xunzi's teachings are mostly concentrated in the studies of aristocratic families and emperors. Among them, water can carry and overturn a boat, and the people-centered thought is also the essence.But it is a pity that he has been running around all his life and has no actual experience in governing the country. As a result, his ideas are mostly empty and have no practical methods of operation. They sound good, but in actual operation, they find that they are full of pitfalls!

Therefore, since the pre-Qin Dynasty, although Xunzi has been included as one of the sages of Confucianism, his thoughts have not been widely disseminated. Many times, people do not know why and think they are Confucius' thoughts.

But you must know that Xunzi was called a traitor to Confucianism by many people.

"Ahem~ What do you think of the little girl?" Liu Yi asked, changing the subject.

"How? Don't you know how?"

Ji Song glanced at him angrily and wanted to say something, but when he saw old man Zhang holding large and small bags in his hand, he immediately stopped!

"Please wait a moment, distinguished guests, I will prepare food for you right now!"

"Little girl, come and help!"

"Hey, here we come!"

The little girl was about to leave. When she looked back and saw Ji Song, she said a little embarrassedly: "Then I'm going to help grandpa?"

Ji Song laughed dumbly, waved his hand and said, "Go, go!"

"Okay!"

Looking at the cheerful girl, Ji Song didn't know if it was a good idea to take him back to Chang'an?

Although it is poor here, it is not unhappy?
"Do you think it's really good to take him back? You have to know that wearing a crown means bearing its weight. Although it's not as prosperous as Chang'an here, you don't have to think about it so much. If I accept him, I may achieve extraordinary things in the future. , but a lot has to be lost.”

"You should understand what the old man means!"

Liu Yi nodded, but finally said: "I really can't bear to have such a talent buried, what a pity!"

Ji Song was noncommittal. Are there not many people buried in this world?

"I won't eat anymore. Tell them, grandson, I will give them three days. If they don't change their original intention after three days, I will accept this disciple!"

"Daniu, let's go!"

Liu Yi looked at Ji Song leaving with confusion, and his heart was also complicated.But thinking about the little girl's amazing talent, he really couldn't give it in!

"Huh? Where is the noble? Why is he missing?"

When old man Zhang came out, he saw that the noble man was missing. He became anxious. This was his granddaughter's noble man. Could it be that he had offended someone somewhere?

"Don't be anxious, it's none of your business!"

Seeing the anxious old man Zhang, Liu Yi told him what Ji Song had just said.He also figured out that he was just an outsider, and his grandfather and grandson were the ones who made the decision!

"How good is this!"

Old man Zhang squatted on the ground, his heart filled with reluctance when he thought of his granddaughter leaving him.But if he didn't leave, he would be delaying his granddaughter, and he would feel even more uneasy!
"Mr. Liu, tell the old man the truth. Who is that person?"

Liu Yi knew he would ask, but in this case, he had no intention of hiding it because there was no need!
"Duke Xi of the Tang Dynasty, General of the Conquest of the West, Head of the Ji Family, Ji Song!"

what?
Old man Zhang fell to the ground and stared blankly at the spot where Ji Song had been sitting just now.He didn't know who Ji Song was, but how could he not know who the Duke of Tang Dynasty was and the general who conquered the West?
After killing hundreds of thousands of Western Turks' iron cavalry, they killed hundreds of thousands of food troops in a blink of an eye, protecting the Western Region.When he was in the Central Plains, Ah Jiu heard about this man, saying that he was a Wenqu star from the sky who came down to earth, and he was simply not a human being.

But now the other party wants to accept his granddaughter as a disciple?What kind of immortal nobleman is this?

"Go, why don't you go? Anyway, his old man is half buried in the soil, so we must not delay my good granddaughter."

Old man Zhang gritted his teeth and said, his eyes were firmer than ever at this time.As long as he could become that disciple, he would not hesitate even if he died immediately.As long as my granddaughter has that person's protection, who can hurt her?
