Chapter 672 Filial Piety
"Since Master Chen has an old friend visiting, I will go to the side for a visit first..." Although the fire of gossip is burning, Ma Chao knows that this is not the time to watch other people's scandals, and it is better to avoid suspicion first.

"General Hussars, don't go!"

Ma Chao hadn't finished speaking, and before Chen Ji could speak, there was a hurried voice from outside the door.Ma Chao was taken aback for a moment, and then he saw a man dressed a bit shabby? ...No, it can be said that it was a tattered old master who broke into the door, tightly grasped Ma Chao's brocade robe with his hands that were almost as dry as chicken feet, and said urgently: "Tai came here today, I just learned that the general is here, so I came here to pay my respects!"

After all, Guo Tai wanted to salute Ma Chao regardless of his old age and frailty.And at this time, no matter how bastard Ma Chao was, he couldn't let this poor looking old man kowtow to him. He hurriedly supported Guo Tai, and said, "Master Guo is famous all over the world, and his court is like thunder. When we meet today, it's time to surpass him." How can you make the master put the cart before the horse by paying respects to the master as a junior?"

But as soon as he finished speaking, Ma Chao realized that he had actually tried to help Guo Tai's hand, but he hadn't touched Guo Tai's body yet.The old man got up automatically, obviously, the "sincere request" just now was just a superb performance by Guo Tai.Think about the sincerity of Chen Qunshi's salutation just now, and the sincerity that the father would not get up unless he spoke.Ma Chao felt that the hypocrisy in himself was nothing compared to this old guy!

Moreover, looking at it from a distance, Ma Chao was surprised to find that the old man was actually wearing a top-quality silk gown under his ragged Ge robe!You know, with Ma Chao's net worth at this time, he is only wearing a brocade robe made of silk cloth.And this old man is actually wearing silk clothes that are several times more expensive than silk!

Seeing this, Ma Chao couldn't help but smile wryly in his heart: Back then, when Brother was brilliant, he was dressed in the most expensive white silk cloth, more than ten times more expensive than your old boy's silk clothes!But now, as soon as the millions of disaster victims open their mouths, Brother Tunde can only be downgraded three grades in a row, making you an old boy!

I have to say, you old boy is really 'deceiving the world and stealing your name' as Xu Shu said!It's really the same as when Chang'an Dong Zhuo was in power, "the scholar-bureaucrats insulted his clothes, and the public service in Tibet" is the same.On the surface, it seems that they are willing to live in poverty, but in essence, they are dressed in fine clothes and luxurious clothes, and they are greedy for enjoyment.With a mouth full of benevolence and morality, his whole body is upright and awe-inspiring.It is the greatest tragedy of this era to dare to act but not to act with a full stomach behind your back!

As a result, Ma Chao didn't have a good impression of this Guo Tai.The smile on his face became much lighter.But Guo Tai, an old man with dim eyesight, really thought that Ma Chao was impressed by his fame, and said boastfully: "General Hussars came here to recruit talents? Yingchuan Academy has a false name, and the students it teaches Everyone is cheating and changing, and has no integrity at all. If the general is deceived by a false name, wouldn't he lure wolves into the house and bring trouble on himself?"

After saying this, Guo Tai still felt that although the scope of attack was wide, it was not hard enough.After taking a look at Chen Ji, he threw a piece of dung on Chen Ji's head, and said contemptuously: "How can someone like Chen Ji who is greedy for life, afraid of death, and violating filial piety teach him to be upright and upright?" Student? The so-called upper beam is not straight, how can the lower beam be straight?..."

"Guo Linzong!" Chen Qun couldn't bear it any longer. After all, he insulted his father in front of him, and even called the whole Yingchuan College a place of filth. Can the distinct Chen Qun endure it?Therefore, Chen Qun ignored Chen Ji and Xu Shu's obstruction, and said angrily: "Old man! You are full of benevolence and morality, pointing at the sky and scolding the world. But he never thought about who was talking about high ambitions, but even the mother at home dared to starve to death !!"

Speaking of this, Ma Chao finally remembered the grievances between the Chen family and Guo Tai after listening to the words of "filial piety" that the two of them kept talking about.And this incident is still an old one. At that time, Ma Chao was still young, so he had no impression of it at all.

Back then, after Chen Shi's death, Chen Ji and Chen Yuanfang were also temperamental people. He cried until he died, and became emaciated due to excessive grief. His mother took pity on him and wrapped him in a brocade quilt to keep him out of the cold.It happened that Guo Tai and Guo Linzong came to pay their respects and saw him. He called Chen Ji and said: "The talented people in Qinghai are everywhere. How can they be mourned and covered with brocade?" Is it safe? I won't take it!" After saying that, Guo Tai fought off.After the guests heard about this incident, they mourned for Chen Shi alone in the future for hundreds of days.

Ma Chao heard about this later, it was when he chatted with the old servant at home just a few days after crossing over.At that time, Ma Chao was extremely surprised by this.Obviously, whether one is filial to one's relatives or not can not be judged by whether or not he was accepted by Jin at that time. The hypocritical practice of paying attention to form and ignoring the truth has always been despised by Ma Chao.In the official history, Chen Ji and Chen Chen's filial piety to their parents and the affairs of the boudoir Yonghe are clearly recorded, all of which are the way of filial piety without pretentiousness.

On the other hand, Guo Tai's filial piety really surprised Ma Chao: Guo Tai came from a poor and humble family, lost his father in his early years, lived with his mother, and lived a miserable life.When he grew up, his mother wanted him to find a job in the county government office, so as to change the embarrassing situation in the past.However, Guo Tai, in the name of having great ambitions, yelled loudly that how could he be with those wretched people in the yamen?Later, he did not follow his mother's order, but studied under Chenggao Qu Boyan.

During his studies, Guo Tai's mother was seriously ill, but Guo Tai never went home to take care of his mother because he put his studies first.Three years later, Guo Tai Botong's "three tombs and five classics", his tempered "good at talking, beautiful tone system", coupled with his "eight feet tall, burly appearance" physique and appearance, and his ability to cheat, won the praise of the world .But his mother starved to death on the grass bed because of poverty.Because of this, Guo Tai wrote a big filial poem, saying that his mother knew the truth and morality, fulfilled his studies, and recited it to his mother's grave with tears in his eyes.After the world knew about it, they praised Guo Tai as a filial person, a loving mother and a respectful son, and he was really a role model for the world.

Comparing the two sides, Ma Chao is not really a fool, how can he still not know what is right and what is wrong between Chen Ji and Guo Tai?From this, the eyes looking at Guo Tai became even more strange and indifferent.Even, deep in the eyes, there is still a deep disdain hidden!

Confucian culture is indeed broad and profound, but the word "filial piety" has been so tossed beyond recognition. Hypocrisy such as Guo Tai uses the so-called "morality" to enter the room grandly, which has caused many human nature to be imprisoned and many spiritual distortions, and has also led to Many hypocritical and even vicious stories have even become an important part of the inferiority of the Chinese nation!This kind of "filial piety" is really a big joke in the world! ——Guo Tai, a wolf-hearted person, doesn't even think about it. Isn't the last thing he wants to see his own son when his biological mother is on the sick bed? ! !

With his mind set, Ma Chao became calmer, walked slowly to the lecture hall, drank a sip of tea, and watched Guo Tai's clumsy performance with cold eyes.But Ma Chao didn't say a word, Guo Tai thought that Ma Chao was supporting his actions, so he became furious and scolded Chen Qun loudly: "The boy is a treacherous and evil person, he doesn't follow etiquette and Confucianism, and he slanders the old man like this? You are so cold-faced on weekdays." Don't talk too much, don't tell me you didn't shed a single tear after Chen Ji's death?!"

Guo Tai kept coming to the door to slander, and even Chen Ji cursed at this time.Chen Qun was forced to blush and be filled with righteous indignation at this time, even Xu Shu couldn't hold back his anger, and when he opened his mouth to fight back for Chen Ji, he suddenly saw Ma Chao still drinking tea quietly... With this After finding out, Xu Shu immediately winked at Chen Ji.Then he hurriedly covered Chen Qun's mouth.Don't let Chen Qun argue again: "My dear brother, the pure will be pure, and the turbid will be turbid..."

Sure enough, Ma Chao began to speak at this time, and his tone was neither light nor serious, neither hurried nor slow: "When Chao's father Teng died, Chao was not in front of him...Although we shed a few tears, it can't be exchanged for my father's death." And resurrection. In this way, Chao is also a very unfilial person."

Guo Tai was overjoyed when he heard the words, and he couldn't help but said: "General Wencheng Wude, after taking over the Ma family, he expanded the Ma family's foundation to the areas of Sili, Jing, and Henan. General Zhengxi Quanxia knows, and he will definitely be a general And rest in peace."

"However, Chao would rather not have these. I only wish that when his father died tragically, Chao Neng would live and die with his father!" Ma Chao angrily drank the tea in his cup, and said sadly.

And Guo Tai's face, like an eggplant in June that has been frosted, froze on his face that was originally secretly happy, funny and shocked...
