As soon as Li Guang left, Li Ran stopped looking over there.
Gong Eryue also seemed a little bored. When she saw Li Ran dazed in the pavilion not far away, she came closer:
"Sir, I want to go back and take a look!"
Li Ran couldn't react for a while and couldn't help but be stunned:
"Huh? Where are you going back to?"
Gong Eryue rolled her eyes:
"Of course I'm going back to where I teach in Xinglin. My companions are still there. I don't know if I'll be able to see them again in the future."
Li Ran waved his hand and seemed uninterested:
"You don't need to tell me when a girl is coming or going, just go ahead."
After hearing this, Gong Eryue was about to turn around and leave, but hesitated for a moment, turned around and persuaded:
"I said that you are full of knowledge, but you stay at home all day long and do nothing. Since you are so free, you should also go to Xinglin for a walk, right? Although those disciples all worship that bulging head as their teacher, but that Baotou lives in the city now. Since you are his good friend, you should share some of his burdens, right?"
Li Ran knew that the "bulging head" she referred to was Confucius. When Confucius was born, his forehead was raised like the top of a polder, so he got the name "Qiu".
Li Ran heard him talk about Confucius like this. If someone else said this, it would be extremely disrespectful. But when Gong Eryue came out of her mouth, Li Ran laughed angrily:
"Haha, I'm afraid it's only a girl who dares to call Kong Zhongni that way."
Gong Eryue still stubbornly said:
"Let's go! Isn't it true that you are idle? If you don't go, how can I go? It would be a bit embarrassing if I was the only one to go!"
As Gong Eryue said this, she actually started to pull him away.
Li Ran saw this and hurriedly dodged.
But then I thought about it, and I realized that I really didn't care about Xinglin during this period.
When Confucius was the Prime Minister of Zhongdu, he did ask him to take more care of Xinglin. Now that I think about it, I feel that I have indeed let down my friend's trust.
When Li Ran thought about this, he couldn't help but sigh and stood up:
"That's all, then you can come with me and have a look!"
After hearing this, Gong Eryue couldn't help but cheered and said with a smile:
"Okay! Let's leave now!"
Li Ran nodded, and the two of them went out immediately, and met Chu Dang directly at the gate.
Chu Dang didn't ask much when he saw them, he just followed them.
Gong'er was familiar with the road and led Li Ran directly to the place where talented Yue women taught etiquette.
Yan Yan is now teaching these talented people the etiquette of words and deeds.
Seeing Gong Eryue walking straight towards her, she couldn't help but put her hand on her forehead, feeling a headache.
Li Ran and Chu Dang followed behind him.
When Yan Yan saw Li Ran, he immediately stood up and saluted:
"It turns out that sir is here!"
Just because ever since he learned about Ji Le's death, Li Ran had locked himself in the mansion without even leaving the door.
Therefore, seeing him come to Xinglin now, in Yan Yan's opinion, this is indeed a good thing.
Yan Yan ignored Gong Eryue and went straight to the door. Li Ran returned the favor and asked:
"Zi You, it's been very hard to teach these talented people, but I don't know how well they are doing?"
Yan Yan glanced at Gong Eryue, who was having fun and chatting with those talented people at the moment, and then Yan Yan whispered:
"Since this woman left, these talented people have finally been able to settle down a little bit. Now everything is going well, and we will be able to send a few outstanding people into the palace in a short time..."
Li Ran couldn't help but sneered when he heard this:
"Haha, this woman can still have such abilities?"
Yan Yan replied:
"Hey, this girl is really difficult to discipline, and she also affects others! So, sir, it's really helpful for you to take this girl in.
This is a big favor for Yan! Otherwise, Yandu doesn’t know how long it will take to teach these talented people. "
Although Gong Eryue was talking to the talented people there, her ears were also extremely sharp. When she heard Yan Yan's words, she suddenly became unhappy.
She was not convinced, so she immediately said loudly:
"You, the master, are not good at teaching, so why are you blaming others? You said it yourself at the beginning, so-called "those who know well are not as good as those who are good at it, and those who are good at it are not as good as those who are happy." What's the matter? What you teach is no fun at all, but you still blame others for not learning it well? "
Faced with Gong Eryue's accusation, Li Ran and Yan Yan actually looked at each other, and for a moment they didn't know how to refute. Yan Yan opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Seeing that the two of them were silent, Gong Eryue became even more unscrupulous:
"Besides, you yourselves have often said that a gentleman's first priority is "loyalty and forgiveness," and among them, the word "forgiveness" is the most important. Huh, that sounds nice. Since you are a gentleman, why can't you "forgive" me when you come here? "
"In my opinion, you don't have to go around "helping people." It's better to distribute more food to the people and let them listen to your words. When the people get benefits, they will naturally listen to you. As you are now, you can't even teach me, a little girl, how do you still expect to be able to teach everyone in the world well? "
Yan Yan only felt that he was unable to resist, but he never expected that Gong Eryue was really eloquent.
All the things he had taught her were reflected on his face. He was left speechless.
"Hey...it's hard to raise a woman, it's hard to raise a woman!"
Yan Yan couldn't help but get furious after being said, but the most important thing is that these things Gong Eryue said are really true, and you really can't refute her at the moment.
When Li Ran saw this, he looked at Gong Eryue with admiration and couldn't help but smile:
"Haha, Miss Yue really has a good memory. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to "learn and practice from time to time" like this? "
"It's just that Miss Yue only knows one, but not the other. If someone can really do "giving to the people and helping everyone", then he is really not an ordinary person. I am afraid even someone like Yao and Shun " "Saint" would also have a headache about this. "
(Zi Gong said: "What if you can help others by giving generously to the people? Can you call it benevolence?" Confucius said: "What is benevolence? It must be holy! Yao and Shun were just as sick as others.")
"That's all, Miss Yue, just follow me around. Ziyou, just keep going."
So Yan Yan continued his teaching, while Li Ran and Gong Eryue walked around the apricot forest. Li Ran asked casually:
"Miss Yue, did you ever learn these things when you were in Yue Kingdom?"
Gong Eryue shook her head and said:
"No, I learned all these in Lu State!"
Li Ran couldn't help but be stunned for a moment:
"This girl's memory is really gifted..."
When Gong Eryue heard this, she replied rather disapprovingly:
"It's just rote memorization, it's not worth mentioning!"
"Besides, what's the use of remembering these things? In this life, why bother remembering these rules and regulations to constrain yourself? In my opinion, words don't have to be true, and actions don't have to be true. In life, only That’s where righteousness lies! Where do you get so many principles?”
Li Ran smiled and said nothing more. Gong Eryue said again:
"So, as long as you think it is correct, that is the most important. Whether others understand it or not, you don't need to care too much. Sir, do you think I am right?"
[In view of the general environment,
Li Ran sighed:
"Haha, the girl has a natural mind, so she can be like this. However, people's hearts are different in the world. In people's hearts, if there is good, there will be evil, and if there is right, there will be wrong. Therefore, the so-called etiquette system also naturally exists. The reason for its existence, ritual and music
The system is by no means without merit. "
"If everyone in this world behaves as freely and willfully as Miss Yue, wouldn't it mean that the world would be in chaos? At that time, who can truly be free and easy?"
Gong Eryue listened, but still didn't take it seriously.
"Even so, it doesn't have to be so complicated and boring."
Li Ran didn't want to get entangled with Gong Eryue on this matter. After all, it was impossible for the two of them to reach an agreement on this issue.
"You're here, let's go back now, right?!"
Gong Eryue blinked her eyes and happened to hear a chirping sound over there. It turned out that the talented people had finished class.
Li Ran immediately knew what she was thinking.
"Well, let me go and talk to Ziyou about some more things. If you want to make trouble with them, then go ahead!"
When Gong Eryue heard this, she suddenly smiled. He ran over happily, and Li Ran came to Yan Yan.
"Ziyou, I'm sorry for disturbing you."
When Yan Yan saw it was Li Ran, he bowed again and sighed:
"Yan Dao also hopes that your husband can come here often. In fact, this is also the master's intention."
Li Ran said secretly:
"I have been feeling depressed during this period and have no interest in these things. Please forgive me!"
Yan Yan hurriedly said:
"How dare you..."
While talking, I heard the laughter of Gong Eryue and the talented people, and looked for a voice, only to find that Gong Eryue pulled out her sword and danced with the sword again on the spot.
Yan Yan raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but say:
"This woman is so skilled and has such an outstanding personality, yet she can actually speak the right words during a conversation. It's really unpredictable! Forgive me for talking too much, but Mr. Yan thinks... there's something wrong with this woman!"
