"Qing didn't eavesdrop." Xun Qing said seriously, "You guys were talking too loudly, so Qing deliberately overheard you."

The 17th Chapter [-] almost believed it

The carriage swayed left and right, Bai Jue really felt that it would be better to walk by himself.

From Hangu Pass all the way back to Lu State, this time it took more than two weeks. If Bai Jue traveled alone, he could arrive in only one day. Even if he wore Meng Ke, he would only slow down the speed a little. At worst, Yu Jian flew over.

But if he brought Xun Qing with him, he could only walk obediently from the ground.

During the Warring States Period, there were endless disputes, not many buildings, and the people were suffering. Walking on this land did not have the mood to enjoy the mountains and rivers. If you really want to put your love on the mountains and rivers, it depends on the dynasty. Tang and Song Dynasties can, but before Qin and Han Dynasties, let’s save it.

The mountain ranges in the past were not artificially modified today, and they are not comparable at all. If you really go to the deep mountains to see the scenery, getting lost is only a trivial matter, and the biggest problems are not finding food and encountering ferocious beasts.

So the three of them basically took the official road. Even if they rented a carriage, the road conditions were too bad, the bumps were uncomfortable, and the butt hurt. Go back and never walk from the ground again.

In short, after more than half a month of tossing, after two years of absence, he finally returned to the country of Lu.

Yan Hui, the great disciple of Confucius, stood outside the manor and waited for him to come back.

"Brother Yan Hui, long time no see." Bai Jue went up to say hello.

"Junior Brother Bai, I haven't seen you for a long time, but you have grown a lot taller." Yan Hui maintained the prestige of an elder, but Confucianism basically treats his own people kindly and kindly, even if he tries to put on a vicious look, he won't be intimidated. to people.

"Senior brother Yan Hui." Meng Ke got out of the carriage, and she was a little unsteady for a moment.

"Junior Sister Meng..." Yan Hui looked at the other person in the carriage, "Who is this?"

"Xunqing, a student of Jixia, came here to celebrate the birthday of Confucius." She moved a small bookcase from the carriage: "This is Qing's congratulatory gift. They are all books that I have read. , I hope you don’t feel disgusted.”

"Well, even if Junior Sister Meng and Junior Brother Bai are classmates, there is no need to be polite. Since it is a book, Yan Hui will accept it on behalf of the teacher." Yan Hui took the book box. The book case is also effortless.

Yan Hui led the way ahead, and he said: "In the past two years, the teacher has been thinking about you two, and we have expanded and repaired the academy according to the blueprint you left behind, and planted some flowers inside. Peach tree and plum tree, you should like it."

"It should have been like this earlier." Bai Jue approached the academy, and simple tile walls were built around the academy. Walking in from the main entrance, there was a burst of fruity fragrance. It happened that this season was the day when peaches and plums were fruiting, and some Confucian scholars were picking fruit.

"Oh? Junior brother Bai and sister Meng are back."

"Just come back, just come back, it's about the same time as we calculated."

"Hey, does this mean that we can taste the food cooked by Junior Brother Bai tonight?"

Bai Jue rolled his eyes: "Inhumanity, I finally came back, you foodies are only thinking about my food?"

"It's human nature, it's not just us, the teacher is also thinking about it." The Confucian scholars smiled: "Quickly, give us the salute, and we will put you in your room. I have tidied up your room a few days ago. Yes, the teacher is waiting for you in the study, go quickly."

Bai Jue and Meng Ke nodded.

The two went to Confucius' study together with Xun Qing.

Before he could knock on the door, he heard a conversation coming from inside.

"Zhang Zi is indeed Guiguzi's master. This vertical and horizontal technique is superb. Even on the chessboard, you can see the truth."

"Confucius praised me, Zhang Yi is just a mouthful of eloquence, that's all. How can I compare with Confucius, who is educated and undiscriminated? The difference is so far that it is hard to catch up...but Confucius's disciples and I are Wangnian acquaintance."

"Could it be that what Zhang Zi said was..."

"It's Bai..."

The door was pushed open.

Bai Jue rushed in in a hurry, staring at the two people in the room with a strange expression: "My surname is Zhang, why did you come here? You are lobbying other countries, why did you go to the country of Lu to lobby?"

Kong Zhongni coughed lightly: "Bai Jue, don't be rude to Zhang Zi..."

"It doesn't matter." Zhang Yi said with a smile: "This kid and I are long-forgotten friends, and I have long been used to his rudeness. He really doesn't look like a Confucian scholar, but he looks like a crazy student... Even Qin Jun had to carry it. If he goes to the main hall, I, Zhang Yi, can be said a word, and I am afraid that in the future historical records, I will also be famous through the ages."

"My disciple is also unruly. I have never taught him etiquette, music, benevolence and righteousness, and he is certainly not an ordinary Confucian scholar." Confucius stroked his beard and smiled, "I'm afraid he rushed to see me just after he came back. It's all right, you three, come in and sit down."

"Yes, teacher." Meng Ke cupped his hands respectfully, then walked into the study room and sat on the futon.

Bai Jue walked in and sat cross-legged, without any rules, and Confucius couldn't help laughing when he saw it.

Xun Qing imitated Meng Ke, she majored in Confucianism before, so she couldn't lose courtesy to Confucius.

Kong Zhongni didn't ask Bai Jue to act in accordance with etiquette and music, as long as he knew how to look at moderation, even if he was arrogant, it didn't hurt, big etiquette was not bad, and he could ignore small etiquette... This is also a special kind of pampering.

The old man looked at the space between Bai Jue and Meng Ke, but there was a little distance between them.

Could it be that what he mentioned to Mozi at the beginning didn't work out?

Confucius looked at the third person and asked, "Who is this girl?"

"Xunqing, students of Jixia, classmates of Bai Jue and Meng Ke... Hearing about Confucius' birthday, I came here to congratulate him. The Confucian classics are my enlightenment." Xun Qing introduced himself while saluting.

"Student from Jixia, that's right..." Confucius couldn't help but have some strange thoughts while smiling - this girl named Xun Qing came back with Meng Ke and Bai Jue, this is... any special thoughts?

He wasn't too sure, but the emotional entanglement between young people would indeed be more complicated.

"Confucius's words are wrong. She is not just good. Even though I have been away from Qin for many years, I have heard a lot about Jixia." Zhang Yi sighed: "Now she is not only a student of Jixia, but also a Lecturer Jixia...is teaching the way of the rule of law."

"The rule of law..." Confucius could not help but look at it a few more times.

"Bai Jue and I discussed this together." Xun Qing hastily threw the blame on Bai Jue.
