Chapter 401 Good men are all from ancient times

When I set all the tea sets, Mr. Jiezhuo let out a heavy hum, and there was a sound of the kitchen door closing.

I glanced up at the kitchen.

"Don't look at him like this, but he's good at cooking drunk crabs and stir-fried vegetables, and he's good at herbal cuisine." Lu Li turned on the electric kettle, and while washing the teacup, said softly: "Don't worry about him, we'll wait Just eat."

Medicated food?

My heart skipped a beat.

I sat down opposite Lu Li and asked, "Did you speak Sanskrit just now?"

Lu Li smiled and said: "Well, one of his believers said that it was made from a temple in a small village in India. It is said to be the oldest Hindu god Shiva theology. His believers couldn't understand it, so they took it. I asked him to explain it, but he couldn’t understand it, so he came to me and said that if this thing is true, he can’t explain it indiscriminately, their Taoist school has rules, and some things can’t be said indiscriminately.”

"Why?" I asked puzzled.

Lu Li's eyelids drooped slightly, and his fingers were like stroking flowers and willows. He washed the teacup, put the tea leaves, and then said lightly, "Let me teach you how to make tea."

"Okay." I said happily.

I don’t know how much time we spent together in this small living room, but every time he made tea, I read books or asked questions, and I was only responsible for pouring water and drinking tea.

I used to think for a while that making tea, I watched him make it every day, and I could see it well, and I didn't bother to learn it.

But one time, when I was sitting idle at home, I took out the teapot and tea leaves, and did what I saw, and the tea that came out...

It's not drinkable at all.

I just found out that Lu Li said that the way of tea in the ancients was broad and profound, and since it has become a way, there are indeed many things in it.

It's definitely not something I can learn by watching from the sidelines.

It's just that I had many more important things and didn't have enough time to learn and ask for advice, so I didn't think about asking Lu Li to learn how to make tea.

Isn't there an old saying that you can't chew more than you eat?

However, now that Lu Li offered to teach me, that's different.

Lu Li looked at me with raised eyebrows and smiled, "You know the six arts of a gentleman, right?"

I nodded: "I know, ritual, music, archery, royal, book, number, ritual is etiquette, music is music, archery is archery, imperialism is the skill of driving a carriage, calligraphy is calligraphy, number is reason, number and spirit, these are the six arts of a gentleman .”

This is what Gu Mingyuan said when he enlightened me.

Those who study Chinese culture, this is the first thing to know.

I'm a little curious, why did Lu Li ask me this?

Lu Li looked up at me again, and said with a smile, "Then you know, what's important in etiquette, and what's important in joy? What is the shooting method?"

I was stunned, thought hard, and finally shook my head dejectedly.

Well, I know about the six arts in general, and I can see them in books, but what Lu Li asked was how to practice them.

Then I really don't know...

Just like how he makes tea, I seem to know that it's not the same thing when he actually does it.

After shaking my head, I said very humbly: "Can you teach me?"

Lu Li burst out laughing. He picked up the kettle, poured water into the tea bowl, put the lid on, and laughed, "I don't know how to do these things."

I groaned and looked at him with wide eyes in surprise.

"What do you mean by this appearance? Do you think I know everything?" Lu Li took the tea bowl and flicked the tea noodles, and said with a chuckle.

I uh again and didn't speak.

"These six arts originated in the Zhou Dynasty in the millennium BC, and prevailed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. However, after the Yuan Dynasty, they gradually faded away, and now..."

Lu Li paused, took a sip of water and said, "Actually, the original intention of the Six Arts was to raise the sons of the country, that is, to let those noble children who will be in power and control the country in the future receive a comprehensive and systematic education, Rituals are actually all kinds of rules. Knowing the etiquette and laws, and doing them with evidence, from the exchanges between countries to the regulations between different levels, let those children know from an early age. Of course, in terms of expressions, they will be different. A kind of etiquette, for example, who should do what you see, where you should sit at a banquet, what you can do and what you can't do, and these rules are constantly changing with the change of dynasties, so, How could I possibly know what the rituals of the Zhou Dynasty looked like at the beginning? If there is such a thing that you can match with the description in the book, it must have traveled from ancient times."

I was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "You also know about time travel."

This is a new term on the Internet!
I heard it all from Miss Zhu!
The corners of Lu Li's lips twitched, and he said, "Didn't you call that Miss Zhu, did she recommend you to read the book about time travel? What are you talking about, all good men are from ancient times."

I froze for a moment and remembered.

When I called Ms. Zhu two days ago, because I wanted to watch him sleep, I didn't walk away, but answered the phone by his bedside.

I was very quiet at the time, and he looked like he was sleeping soundly, so he was heard? !

Lu Li glanced at me, and said in a cold voice: "A good man in ancient times? Was there a good man in ancient times? Anyone with some family property would want to marry a concubine, and as long as he has a bit of literary talent, or someone who raises a scholar, he will marry a concubine." Going to the brothel to show off your celebrity style, but those who don’t know a single character and are so poor that they can’t even get rid of the pot, just marry a wife, ah, of course, women of the new era like Miss Zhu may Don't care about that, then..."

"Stop, stop!" I raised my hands, clasped them together and said to him, "I know, I know, Miss Zhu said that too, is this just a bit of lust!"

Doesn't this make us feel a little girlish?
Moreover……

This is how Six Arts can talk about this!

Lu Li looked at me and snorted, with an expression on his face that I didn't care about naive people like you, and said lightly: "Instead of thinking about traveling to ancient times, it's better to look at the present, among the six arts of a gentleman, etiquette is the rule , Le is self-cultivation, archery is physical fitness, imperialism is driving ability, calligraphy is calligraphy and expression ability, number is calculation and logic ability, the original intention is to cultivate both morality and physical fitness, and to be able to write and martial arts."

I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it was finally time to get down to business.

I'm still thinking about how I'm going to answer this.

Lu Li continued in a flat voice: "But now, carriages don't exist anymore, and archery is done by soldiers in the army. As long as you have strong logical thinking, correct expression skills, know etiquette and rules, and have deep cultivation, then you are a gentleman." Demeanor, the typical example of a good man, for example, me in front of you."
