…
Southwest of Xiaozhu, Jingshui River section.
The bamboo raft drifts with the current, soothing and quiet. Ling Yunzhi is sitting at the end of the bamboo raft fishing leisurely. However, it has been a long time and no fish has taken the bait, which seems a bit boring to onlookers.
In the town, on the street.
"I borrowed it, I borrowed it..." Ling Ye took Liu Yue's left hand and ran forward with his head dazed, pushing away everything that was in the way.
Judging from the momentum and direction of his progress, he should rush to the academy to join in the fun.
"Ye-er." Liu Yue was helpless and a little embarrassed. Although there were not many pedestrians on the street, Liu Yue still felt a little embarrassed to be looked at by others innocently.
"Oh, mother—" Ling Ye had no choice but to slow down and walk backwards, then grabbed Liu Yue's left hand with both hands and dragged her back: "Hurry up, you won't be able to catch up if you are later..."
"You brat." Liu Yue was furious, but she felt helpless and couldn't bear the trouble, so she had no choice but to compromise and follow him while holding up her clothes.
"Haha..." Ling Ye laughed happily, turned around and dragged her mother forward: "Hurry up, hurry up, we'll be there in half a street..."
On the second floor of the tea house, next to the window.
"..." Looking at Liu Yue's mother and son "running towards each other" from downstairs, Duan Zhigan fell into deep silence, holding the tea in his hand and forgetting to drink it.
He was wearing casual clothes and sitting here alone.
No matter how crowded the teahouse was, or how many people were passing by on the street, the only thing in his watery eyes was the shy and angry woman covering her forehead with her hands...
…
At the same time, the still water section.
confused.
Nowadays, the drift of the willow leaves suddenly fluctuates, and then sinks slightly.
"Oh?" Ling Yunzhi frowned and opened his eyes with a smile.
However, he only glanced at the fish float there quietly, and then suddenly waved his left palm to his left side!
bass!
At this moment, not only the five or six willow leaves falling on the bamboo raft, but also the dead leaves falling around him were all shot out with a wave of his big hand!
Whoosh whoosh!
The clump of reeds along the bank was cut off on the spot by these dozen leaf darts, revealing the young man lurking behind the reeds!
This person is the Zuowei who went to Xiaozhu to invite Liu Yue a few days ago!
But today he was wearing casual clothes, and his expression was even more gloomy at the moment. Although the sword in his hand had not been unsheathed, he was still holding it tightly.
However, Ling Yunzhi did not turn around to look at him, but slowly retreated as the bamboo raft moved forward: "Why are the troops defending the country lurking in the mainland? How can the people who are defending the people want to kill good people?"
The military guard gritted his teeth gloomily, and then slowly stood up, frowning slightly as he stared into Ling Yunzhi's eyes and said, "With all your prowess and prowess, why would you be willing to hide in the world and be willing to stay here?"
Ling Yun's eyes were unmoved. Although he looked at the water surface scratched by the fish floats, the ripples caused by the floats seemed not to be in his eyes.
He had no words to say, and slowly moved away as the bamboo raft moved forward, and was even more obscured by the clump of fallen bamboo.
squeak--!
The military guard gritted his teeth angrily, and the sword in his hand made a tooth-piercing friction sound.
…
In the inner courtyard of the academy, the crowd queued up.
"Give me, let me, borrow it, borrow it..." Ling Ye happily pulled Liu Yue into the crowd, but Liu Yue was too shy to see anyone.
"Look, what are you looking at? Move away and stand far away." Ling Ye was a protective mother, so she pushed all the men next to her who didn't know how to avoid suspicion and embarrassment away to protect her mother's thoughtfulness and chastity: "Ugh, I really have no eyesight..."
The few people who were pushed away grinned in embarrassment, but they really had no temper for this kid, and Liu Yue was looking pretty and angry at the moment, so they had no choice but to laugh and scratch their heads and lower their heads.
"Huh." Shi Chongrui couldn't help but smile at the interesting things happening here.
At this moment, Liu Yue was also feeling embarrassed and forced an apologetic smile to Shi Chongrui.
In response, Shi Chongrui just smiled and nodded, but in Ling Ye's eyes, he looked cunning, cunning, and lecherous, so he looked at him gloomily with a stern face.
Seeing Ling Ye's reaction, Shi Chongrui couldn't help but be startled, and then he shook his head and laughed: "Haha..."
Afterwards, he no longer paid much attention to this matter, but gently knocked the fan in his hand on the table, and said with a chuckle: "I just briefly explained the national laws and regulations, now... you guys have any questions. , can be raised one by one."
Hearing this, Shaoxiaozi, who was stroking his chin, nodded thoughtfully, and then raised his head to Shi Chongrui with a leisurely smile: "Master Shi, I wonder how this respecting the elderly and caring for the young is the best way to do it?"
As soon as he said this, Shi Chongrui raised his brows and looked sideways, but the old man was immediately furious and slapped the other man on the head: "You have the nerve to ask! I don't want you to be so angry! Why don't you still?" Dare to fulfill your filial piety!"
"Tsk!" The unfilial son tilted his head to the side and glared at the other party. Then he raised his hand and rubbed his head and muttered: "Old man, if I don't make porridge or medicine for you..."
"Haha..." Seeing the interesting things here, not only Shi Chongrui laughed happily, but also all the villagers.
Ling Ye also laughed out loud, and looked at the old man blowing his beard with a smile and glared: "My uncle won't cut you when I get back..."
The old lady is an elder in the town, named Zhang Gongjin.
This unworthy son is the third son of his second son, named Zhang Xu.
The whole family is doing business in neighboring counties, but the old lady is unwilling to leave the town to enjoy life elsewhere. Therefore, with all kinds of helplessness and no persuasion, the big family took turns to come back regularly to ensure the old man's life and health.
In fact, Zhang Xu was not really unworthy, he was just used to quarreling with the old lady since he was a child, so he naturally couldn't change his bad nature.
"Haha..." Seeing that the old lady couldn't win the argument, Shi Chongrui couldn't help but shake his head and smile, and then gently knocked on the paper fan to stop his laughter.
despair.
The voice was not loud, but everyone was aware of it, and they all turned to look at Shi Chongrui.
"Ugh!" Even the old man who was so angry at his unfilial son that he wanted to raise his hand to reward him grunted angrily and chose to give up temporarily.
Buxiaozi rolled his eyes and put down his protective hands on his head with a nonchalant look on his face.
"Haha..." Seeing this, Shi Chongrui couldn't help but smile happily, then looked around at the crowd and said, "There are three types of unfilial piety, one is not being able to serve relatives, the other is not being able to serve the king, and the third is not being able to uphold one's moral integrity."
Ling Ye nodded lightly and subconsciously hugged her mother's arm tightly, intending to listen attentively.
Seeing everyone listening attentively, Shi Chongrui couldn't help but feel very good, so he began to discuss it leisurely: "Your Excellency asked about respecting the elderly and caring for the young, so I just mentioned one of them."
The unfilial son nodded slightly and began to think about his non-existent stubble.
"Huh." Seeing the other party's attitude, the old man snorted.
Shi Chongrui shook his head and smiled, and then began to explain slowly: "For the elders, there is nothing more than respect, support, and obedience."
"The so-called respect means respect. When it comes to relevant major matters and vital interests, one should start from the other party's position and perspective and seek opinions."
"The so-called support means support. You should not discard them like worn-out shoes or ignore them if you find them annoying. Rather, you should be filial and care for them, and take care of your children with care."
"The so-called obedience does not mean complete obedience. It should be based on reason or practice. If it really does not conform to reality and considerations, it cannot be accepted as a good policy."
"And elders should do the same to their children and grandchildren, and even more so."
"After all, being a disciple means following one's teacher, and one's virtues establish a good conduct."
Everyone nodded, thoughtfully.
But not long after, I saw a big man looking around, and then he smiled and bowed to Shi Chongrui with his fists in his hands: "Sir, what should I do if I don't know how to serve the people?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately turned their attention and waited for Shi Chongrui's explanation.
"Huh." Shi Chongrui smiled slightly, then caressed his beard and said: "Fear, obey, keep."
As soon as these words came out, Ling Ye frowned, but all the villagers nodded thoughtfully.
"Afraid is not fear, but reverence."
"Revere the law of the country, revere heaven and earth, and revere conscience."
"Follow, not blindly follow."
“It’s about obeying the law, observing justice, and observing character.”
"And this is to keep... to keep one's heart."
"Shou Xin..." Ling Ye lowered his eyes and murmured, then nodded thoughtfully.
"Huh." Seeing that Ling Ye didn't understand and pretended to understand, Liu Yue couldn't help but smile, but it attracted many people's stares and saliva.
"Sir." At this moment, there was an honorific that diverted everyone's attention.
Under the spotlight, this elderly wealthy man couldn't help but smile, and clasped his hands to Shi Chongrui and said, "Sir, Mr. Tian is a businessman, but now he is doing some small business in the county."
Having said this, the rich man smiled at Shi Chongrui again, then put his hands behind his back and asked, "I wonder if there is anything we, the merchants, need to be vigilant about."
As soon as these words came out, everyone turned to look at Shi Chongrui.
Shi Chongrui nodded thoughtfully, but completely ignored everyone's gazes. Then he suddenly looked at the rich man with a smile and said: "For businessmen, there are five words of motto."
"Oh?" Fu Guanwai frowned, then clasped his hands and bowed deeply to Shi Chongrui: "Please enlighten me."
Shi Chongrui smiled slightly and nodded. He waited until the other party took three long breaths of respect and then withdrew and stood behind him.
As soon as this statement came out, not only did the rich man frown, but everyone was also deep in thought.
The shameless man tilted his head, then rubbed his chin and asked the old man: "Hey, Grandpa, do you know about this?"
"I don't know." The old lady rolled her eyes angrily, then leaned on the crutch with both hands and looked up at the sky: "I don't do business, so don't worry about him."
The unlucky man rolled his eyes, and then shook his head while twitching his lips.
"Haha..." Seeing the interesting things here, Shi Chongrui couldn't help but shook his head and smiled, and then turned to look at the rich man.
Feeling Shi Chongrui's gaze, the rich man immediately bowed his head in respect and listened attentively.
Shi Chongrui smiled and shook his head, and then said word for word: "Respect guests, fear the law of the country, ask your heart, abide by principles, and keep your conscience."
Following Shi Chongrui's words, Fu Yuanwai's brows furrowed more and more tightly.
And Shi Chongrui also chose to smile and say nothing after he finished speaking.
Not long after, the rich man Wainai nodded lightly after pondering, and then bowed his hands to Shi Chongrui with a smile on his face: "Thank you, Sir, for your kindness."
Shi Chongrui smiled and shook his head, saying nothing else.
The rich man smiled slightly, then turned around and left.
Ling Ye watched the rich man leave the crowd outside, but before he could look too much, someone over there suddenly asked a question, which attracted his attention: "Sir! I wonder what the escort driver needs to pay attention to?"
Seeing the tall but thin man with thick eyebrows and leopard eyes, both Ling Ye and Shi Chongrui grinned. Then they saw Shi Chongrui caressing his fan and chanting: "Since we are business friends, we are the same..."
