The other party obviously didn't expect that Ziyou would directly retaliate. He originally thought that he had met an inconspicuous student from Little Saint Xian Village and used him to improve his reputation, but he didn't expect that Ziyou would retaliate directly.
He thought of his father Chun Yuyi's purpose of letting him come to Jixia, which was to make a name for himself through Jixia's debate, so as to better recommend him to the court. When he was thinking about how to make a name for himself, he saw Ziyou. Seeing that the other party was also a Confucian disciple and his clothes were dirty, he thought about using the other party to help him establish a reputation for courtesy, but he unexpectedly hit a brick wall.
Seeing that everyone around him looked over, Chun Yusheng also showed some timidity. After all, in this era, people who can make carriages are not simple people. They are either rich or noble. If he showed timidity now, he would not only not be famous, but even Will also be ridiculed.
So Chun Yusheng bowed to Zi You and said
"I am Chun Yusheng. I wonder who you are?"
"I'm just a country man. What do you think of my clothes?" Ziyou said with a smile on his face.
Ziyou naturally guessed what the other person was thinking, otherwise no one would criticize others for their clothes. What is the difference between this and slapping a dog you see passing by while walking on the road?
"I dare not tell you. "Book of Rites Guanyi" states that the beginning of etiquette lies in correct clothing. Your clothes are dirty and messy, and your behavior is frivolous. The sage said that correct clothing is the beginning of etiquette. How can you say that if you don't tidy up your clothes? If you are a person who observes etiquette, how can you inherit the teachings of the sages?" Chunyu Sheng said righteously.
He knew that if he didn't want to become a laughing stock, he would have to use any means to defeat the other party. Moreover, looking at Ziyou's clothes, he knew that this was not a disciple of ours. He might have just read a few books and he could still lose to him. ?
"I really didn't expect that after the death of Mr. Chunyu Kun, the sage of Jixia, the great Confucian, and the minister who saved Qi State from danger many times, the Chunyu family would actually have someone who was superficial. If you had been an official of Qi State in the first place, , I’m afraid your ancestors will never have the opportunity to display their ambitions in this life." Ziyou mocked.
Before Chun Yusheng had time to speak, Ziyou continued
"I think you look like a person who has read a lot of classics. Do you know about Zigong's visit to the Master? The beginning of etiquette and righteousness lies in correct clothes and hats, but it has been misunderstood by people like you. If the sages of Confucianism know about it, I'm afraid Will jump up from the grave in anger.
The beginning of etiquette lies in correct appearance, correct color, and correct speech. Etiquette begins with correct appearance and clothing. A well-educated person must have a good posture, neat clothing, a solemn expression, and appropriate speech. This is not only a manifestation of his inner cultivation, but also an expression of respect for others.
And you only look at people's appearance and judge others arbitrarily on both sides of the road. Is this your inner cultivation? Or is this what Chunyu's tutors are like? "
Zi You's series of attacks made Chun Yusheng's face turn red, but he really did not dare to speak. This matter was something he had in mind, and the other party's rebuttal made him even more speechless.
People around were also talking about this matter.
"I never expected that there would be such a person in Chunyu's family."
"Yes, you actually mean to look at others from their appearance, to be a teacher to others, and to accuse others at will. Are you crazy about wanting to be famous?"
"This young gentleman may not look very old, but he has such a profound understanding of etiquette. He is indeed a well-read man."
.............
The mixed comments around him made Chun Yusheng blush even more. He didn't dare to say anything and turned around and got into the carriage. The groom beside him was also blushing. This young gentleman himself was an uneducated person in the family. Shu, who pretended to be a well-read man all day long, did not expect to lose such a big face here, which made him not want to stay here for a moment, and drove the carriage to leave the team.
"I didn't expect you to have such an understanding of etiquette." Jing Salamander, who was sitting in the carriage, spoke.
Originally, Ziyou was a deviant Confucian scholar in Jingshao's mind, and the understanding that a benevolent man split into two and died painlessly is benevolence was too shocking to his three views.
"I don't know much about etiquette, but it's okay to deal with such ignorant people who still want to make a splash." Ziyou said nonchalantly.
Soon it was Ziyou's turn for the carriage to be inspected, and Ziyou reminded him via voice transmission.
"It's our turn. Hide the Salamander Sword so that no one can see it."
The Frightened Salamander in the carriage didn't reply, but the clothes he changed and the Frightening Salamander sword disappeared from the carriage, and they had obviously been hidden.
"Sir, please cooperate." The gatekeeper said, bowing to Ziyou.
"Excuse me. It's just that my wife has just given birth and it's inconvenient for her to see her. Please forgive me." Ziyou said in return.
"Of course, we are just doing routine work. Please forgive me for any inaccuracies." The guard said, waving his hands to the two soldiers to check the carriage, but they only took a casual look inside the carriage.
Seeing that Jingli's face was a little pale in the car and he was holding a child in his arms, he stopped checking him. Ziyou's words of courtesy just now had already established a good character for Ziyou.
This is the case in this era, even if bandits see a worthy person, they will even escort him. Although this is an era of broken etiquette and music, the treatment of reputation is extremely important.
Many countries will let people with reputations serve as officials. In this era that lacks a selection system, although reputation is not guaranteed to be foolproof, it can still select some capable people.
Ziyou bowed to the guard and then drove the carriage towards the city. Linzi was worthy of being the capital of Qi State and was extremely prosperous. Ziyou had traveled to many places in the past two years, but there was no place like Compared with Linzi, it is not even as good as the villages around Linzi.
Looking at the bustling streets and pedestrians, Ziyou's face was expressionless and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Where are we going next?" Jing Salamander asked.
"Find an inn to stay. Apart from internal staff, there is no place for guests to stay overnight in Jixia Academy." Ziyou said.
Soon the two came to an inn.
"Boss, two guest rooms." Ziyou said to the boss.
"I'm sorry, guest. You also know that the debate in Jixia Academy has resumed. There are many people coming to watch the excitement. We only have one guest room left. It's a coincidence that you came here. One of the guests checked out a room and asked for Otherwise, you really won’t be able to book a room, as most inns around here have no rooms.” The boss said with a smile.
Ziyou looked at Jing Salamander, who nodded expressionlessly.
She didn't care about this kind of thing, and she was not a weak woman without any strength. If Ziyou really wanted to do something, the Jing Salamand Sword in her hand would not be taken lightly.
Zi You didn't say anything when he saw Jing Salamander. He paid the room fee readily and had some food brought to him.
