In the manor, the older child looked at Fei Zhen with a daze and left angrily, and then couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "Is this so rude...?"
Fei Zhen couldn't lose the debate.
Although Fei Zhen felt that he read more books than the children of the Kong family, this was only his own feeling. In fact, there was still some difference between him and his feelings. At least Fei Zhen’s level of mastery in the Tao Te Ching is obviously a bit lacking.
After all, you can understand the meaning of the Tao Te Ching after reading it twice or by understanding all the words in the Tao Te Ching...
Many children think that they are the best-looking and smartest. Some children even feel good about themselves when they grow up, and Fei Zhen is somewhat a little bit. After all, in Guanzhong, is there a child who dares to scold Fei Zhen in person or even argue without mercy?
Fei Zhen was naturally a little embarrassed, but fortunately, Fei Zhen was not angry and made a fuss about Meizhuang, but just left in anger.
Seeing her girl pissing Fei Zhen away, the older child couldn't help but feel a little slow.
The younger child was silent for a while, and then said, "There's a little."
"A little bit?" The older child turned his head in confusion and blinked twice, "Why don't you let him go a little bit... It's more respectful..."
"Respect?" The child frowned slightly and replied, "If the people in the world respect it, do they respect themselves or their father?"
"This..." The older child seemed to want to say it was Jing Feizhen, but he still honestly said afterwards, "Now he is Jing Feiqiu."
The child asked again, "The cavalry treats you and me with courtesy, so he sends his son to advance rudely. Is this not the name of the cavalry? His son is rude, because we respect the cavalry, so he should respect the cavalry?"
"This..." said the older child, "Then you can't...
"Since it is difficult to argue, there will be a win or lose." The child said, "What's more, if even a mere debate requires others to give in, how can he become a great man?"
The older child was speechless and still looked outside the yard, as if he was expressing that he could not say that he had just argued and ran away...
After pausing for a while, the younger child said, "Have you ever heard a common saying that "If you don't enter the minister's house, your father... if your father doesn't enter the son's house?" Perhaps because he mentioned his father, the younger child got stuck.
The older child was stunned, "Is there such a saying?"
The child nodded, "Do you agree with the brother? Since he said that the king is the leader of his ministers and the father is the leader of his sons, all the land in the world is the king's land. Since he is the king's land, he is led by all, but why do he say, "If the king does not enter the minister's house, the father does not enter the son's house"?"
The older child tilted his head and thought.
In the traditional Chinese culture, Confucian culture has always occupied the most important position. The ethics of the outline and constellation are the most important thoughts in Confucian culture. Under the feudal system, there is a strict hierarchy system, and in this hierarchy, such a sentence seems to violate the Three Outlines and Five Constant Ones.
The specific source of this sentence, or who said it, is no longer verified. Similar things include "You don't see your wife" and so on, which are actually the same thing.
This etiquette requirement must have existed before the Tang Dynasty. I won’t talk about the dirty things that Tang Nose is talking about. Those who know the details must have taken a step to speak. If you talk about it, this matter may come from Duke Yi of Qi, which is a bit traditional. In the current situation of the Han Dynasty, I don’t need to mention Lao Cao, even the latter leader Liu Chan seems to have some problems. (This chapter talks about Note 1, Note 2, Note 3)
As for the various dramas of later generations, the emperor went to his minister's house as if he was free and easy as entering his own back garden. When he saw his minister's wife, he called and drank like a lady in the club. In fact, it was a great slander for the Chinese courtesy.
Most emperors pay great attention to this issue, not as confused as they did in various magical dramas.
Since ancient times, China has been a country that attaches great importance to etiquette. Whether visiting homes or visiting relatives and friends, etiquette must be followed, especially among the children of the gentry, which pays more attention to this point.
Fei Zhen thinks that this manor is owned by her own home, and then she can enter and exit at will by herself. In fact, it is a very rude thing. It is like a relative who lives in her own home, and then she can open the door of her relatives at will and break in unscrupulously? Or like the landlord thinks that she has a real estate certificate, she can go in and out at any time without telling the tenant, and then she can also accuse the tenant of how she looks like a big and a second-handed person. She doesn’t think about who the house is. She doesn’t know how to be grateful for living here?
"If the king does not enter the minister's house, the father does not enter the son's house."
This is the most basic concept of property rights in China, and it is a moral constraint to protect private space from being violated. It shows that even the king and the father must follow etiquette and respect others first to be respected in order to be respected by others.
Although this sentence cannot completely stop the king from invading power, it at least shows that this matter is wrong and immoral. Take Cao Cao as an example. If Old Cao casually breaks into a minister's backyard, then stretches his head and looks at it, he laughs, "Oh, this is your wife..."
So what should I do if I am a minister?
This is ethics, this is morals, and this is the most basic etiquette for people.
If you want to be respected by others, you must first know how to respect others.
In the Dream of Red Mansion, Jia Zhen of Ningguo Mansion was not very good at this, so Jiao Da was drunk and scolded, "They were stealing dogs and playing with chickens every day, climbing the ashes, and raising the younger brother-in-law, raising the younger brother-in-law," and so on. No matter what era, this was the most unethical behavior, so when Jiao Da was drunk, "the servants were so heartbroken that they were so heartbroken that they didn't even dare to hear such words. Therefore, "If the king does not enter the minister's house, the father does not enter the son's house", although it is a very reasonable sentence, it involves the most basic and most unbreakable bottom line for those who are the people and the superiors.
Back to the Meiling Manor, it was indeed Fei's manor, but now that it has been given to the Kong brothers and sisters, whether it is renting or giving, Fei Zhen broke in without notice, which is an irresponsible behavior. So the Kong woman pointed it out without politely and attacked Fei Zhen. Can she curse the two sons of Kong who are not clear about the truth and are not grateful?
For example, "If my father hadn't saved you, would you have died long ago?"
Or "If my father didn't give you a house, would you sleep on the street?"
Such things.
It's indeed "if" and if it weren't for the father of Cavalry, who would have respected Fei Zhen sincerely?
"It's like you and me." The child whispered, "If you don't have the name of your father, what kind of virtue can you and me be here? Therefore, these idle things are all trivial matters! Brother, you and I have more important things to do..."
『Ah?』 The older child opened his eyes wide, 『What is more important? What big thing?』
"You haven't thought about it," the woman from Kong asked with a frown, "Such a Zhuangzi must be valuable... What can you and me compare with this Zhuangzi? Did you think of it?"
The older child thought for a long time, then hesitated and asked, "Well... Could it be... horse bone?"
The woman from Kong said, "The horse bones were left to us by my father... But this reputation can be used for a while, but how can it be used for a lifetime? If the prince of the Cavalry can bully you and me rudely, you and I are timid and unfair, who will distinguish right from wrong for you and me in the future?"
The older child scratched the back of his head, "That's it..."
『However, I will also thank the prince for coming in rudely today...』 The girl of Kong smiled and showed a small tiger's teeth.『One person gave up today, but one person refused to come in the future! I guess it will be much more purified next, just to let you and me concentrate...』
"Ah?" The older child has not been able to turn around in his life.
The Kong girl nodded and looked at the older child very seriously, "So, brother, have you been aware of a horse bone now? As the saying goes, a thousand gold horse bones, but brother thinks that you and I are worth a thousand gold at the moment? If it is not worth it, then how can you and I live here forever? Even if you live temporarily, how long can you live here? Where will you live here? With the reputation of my father, how long will we protect us? In this way, does my brother still feel that being polite or rude to the Crown Prince of Cavalry is a major event at the moment?"
"This..." The older child stood there for a while, and the beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. He bowed and said, "Little sister is right, so what are we doing now... what is the most important thing?"
"Reading. You and I cannot pick on your shoulders, write, and have a weak body, even if you have tens of thousands of ambitions, it is better to concentrate on reading." The woman from Kong said, "The ancestors of Kong's family were named after the scriptures, how can they fall into it now?! We should use this place to reject foreign guests, study hard, and increase knowledge. Only in this way can we establish ourselves as the foundation of you and me! This is the long-term way! My brother is still stuck in these miscellaneous things, so when can we become a weapon? If my brother cannot support the name of Kong, please say it early. My younger sister is not talented, and she will not want the name of her father, and become dust!"
…o(TωT)o…
A group of children of aristocratic families gathered in one place and chattered.
"Hey! Have you heard of it? The children of the Kong family have arrived in Chang'an! They were even arranged by the cavalry in Meiling Village!"
"Which Kong family?"
"There is that? Kong Rong and Kong Wenju!"
"Ha! Kong Wenju's children? What's the use of Kong Wenju's children? What's better than Kong Wenju himself? Why didn't the Cavalry bring Kong Wenju to Chang'an?" A middle-aged man with three long beards and a righteous face suddenly inserted it in and said loudly, "Is this child related to the Cavalry? He was the child left behind by the Cavalry back then? Otherwise, why would he be treated so favorably?"
The middle-aged man spoke righteously, but suddenly found that everyone suddenly seemed to be half a step away from him. He couldn't help but feel a little panicked, "Ah? Are you...what are you doing?"
The other gentry children glanced at him, and after a while, someone asked: "Do you really don't understand, or do you deliberately pretend not to understand? If you really don't understand, you are stupid and pretend not to understand, you are bad! After that, who are you?"
"You, you! How could you be so rude!" The middle-aged man was furious, "I'm just talking about it! Is this bright world still impossible for people to speak? Why are you either stupid or bad? This is such a rude statement!"
"Oh? Is this rude? You're not rude about slandering the cavalry behind your back?" Another gentry child said, "You can say that the cavalry is very good, or you can say that the cavalry wants to do this. This is OK. We are discussing this matter just now, and there is nothing... But as you talk, you go down three ways to others. What do you mean? With the cavalry, you only know how to leave your children outside?"
"This...this..." the middle-aged scholar stared at him and tried to explain, "I just said that...I didn't mean that...I just said...I just said casually, said casually..."
Seeing that the inspector on the street noticed this, he turned to see the middle-aged scholar hurriedly covered his head and face and hurriedly left, attracting laughter from the other children of the gentry.
A scholar pointed at the middle-aged man who covered his face and left, "Tsk! Even if he was spreading rumors, he should think of a better reason? It's true... If it were Prime Minister Cao, he might have some children outside. If he wanted to say that this cavalry was rushed to send him up, he would not even look down on him!"
『Huh? What does it mean when you say "send it up"?
"My little sister is also virtuous and beautiful, and she is as beautiful as a flower. I have heard of the name of the cavalry for a long time and I love it... It's a pity, I heard that many female officials in the priest wanted that... but the cavalry didn't go, you said, "The scholar knocked the hand of one hand in the other palm twice, "What else is needed to be left outside, even if it's inside, it's hard to ask for it..."
"Oh, I'm at Zuo Fengyi, I'm not married yet..."
"Uh, don't, don't get close to it..."
There was a burst of laughter between everyone.
Unlike ordinary children of the gentry, Wei Duan, who lives in the Wei Mansion and stays in the door, thinks of more things.
Retired.
Not detained.
Therefore, Wei Duan can still contact the outside world, and for people like Wei Duan, they must be unwilling to remain silent like this, and then the clan becomes a poor family.
Therefore, although Wei Duan immediately left behind and left the guest, stayed quietly, and acted honestly, his mind was still in the court, paying attention to any movement inside and outside Chang'an.
Just like this time, the news that the Kong family and relevant people in Shandong arrived in Chang'an, Wei Duan naturally heard about it and had some ideas...
In Wei Duan, the children of Kong's family are not just two children, but also two pieces of fragrant meat!
So Wei Duan immediately got into the study, rummaged through boxes and cabinets, and didn't even have the time to eat the late-night chrysanthemum.
Wei Duan's good son Wei Kang naturally couldn't sit steadily after his father retired. He was also dismissed from office and was dependent on his parents at home. "My father, what are you looking for?"
"Come on, help me find it together..." Wei Duan was old after all, and after working for a while, he felt sore and a little dizzy. He said with a breath, "Look for it, find the letters from my father and Kong Wenju..."
"Kong Wenju?" Wei Kang asked, "What are you doing for his letters?"
"Kong Wenju's children are now in Chang'an!" Wei Duan breathed calmly, "Do you know what this means?"
It’s just in Chang'an. What else can this mean? What’s the good meaning? What does this have to do with us? Wei Kang’s stomach slander, but he couldn’t say that in his mouth, and just shook his head.
"Sir!" Wei Duan suddenly felt a little angry again.
Wei Kang lowered his head, looking like a good baby.
When his father gets angry, he will do this, but doing this does not mean that he understands the truth and knows the mistakes, but that he is not violent and uncooperated.
That's right, although Wei Kang has experienced such hardships, just like tutoring homework for children in later generations can make them angry and get cerebral hemorrhage. Naughty children are still naughty children and will not become much sensible because of their parents' cerebral hemorrhage. They can still get sensible. They can still get scattered without doing homework. Even if they receive a social beating one day, they may not be able to repent.
Wei Duan was too lazy to explain to Wei Kangdo. Sometimes he felt that his son was not like his biological son. If the great man had no DNA test method at the moment, Wei Duan would have wanted to check it. So Wei Duan just ordered Wei Kang to search in the old book and find out the letters between Wei Duan and Kong Rong back then.
Kong Rong was famous in the world, especially when he was under He Jin, many people continued to explore literature, ask for the name of the scriptures, visit them in person, or write letters for advice, so Wei Duan and Kong Rong also had some correspondences back then...
But so many years have passed, even the letter papers of later generations may not be properly preserved under the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, let alone the bamboo slips, wooden slips, silk slips, and letters from the Han Dynasty.
Wei Kang stuck out his butt and searched through the pile of old papers. Under the dust, he found a lot of used wooden slips and broken bamboo slips, but he could not find the letters between Wei Duan and Kong Rong that Wei Duan said.
Back then, it was just to get some connection with Kong Rong. Although the letters written by Wei Duan could not be said to be thrown away casually, they did not store them with care. After so many years, it was not easy to find them out.
After all, who could have thought of this?
If Wei Duan knew about the situation like this today, he would definitely find a good container, then put some quicklime, wrap some oil paper, silk cloth, etc., and save the letters well.
"My father..." Wei Kang was covered in dust and exhausted, "I really can't find it...My father, why are you looking for this letter?"
Perhaps because Wei Kang was looking for it hard, Wei Duan was not as angry as before, so he said in a deep voice: "The cavalry's move has a profound meaning. Think about it, who is Kong Wenju?"
"Descendants of Confucius?" Wei Kang replied.
Wei Duan closed his eyes, "What else? There are so many descendants of Confucius! Why did he save Kong Wenju's children?"
"This... the leader of Shandong Wenhua?" Wei Kang's voice lowered.
"There are so many Wenhua people in Shandong, why do you want to save the children of the Kong family?" Wei Duan frowned, "Why are you still so superficial when you think about the problem today?"
Wei Kangba smacked his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but he was choked by the dust around him and immediately started coughing.
"Forget it, you get up first," Wei Duan waved his hand, then raised his head, thought for a while, and then said slowly, "This cavalry should not think that it is a trivial matter... In his opinion, there are at least three layers of thinking...
Note 1: At the beginning, when Duke Yi was the son of Gong, he hunted Bingrong's father and fought for it. When he ascended the throne, he cut off his father's foot and sent Bingrong servants. The wife of Yongzheng was good, and the palace of Gong was sent to Gongzheng to ride. In May, Duke Yi traveled to Shenchi, and the two men bathed and played. The official said, "Broken the son!" Rong said, "The one who took his wife!" Both of them both were ill of this and resented them. They planned to travel to Zhuzhong with Gong. The two killed Yi on the bus, abandoned Zhuzhong and died.
Note 2: In the first month of the twelfth year, Yan's wife, Hu, came to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager ordered him to stay with Hu, and then he left after months. Hu was beautiful, and Yan suspected that he had a relationship with the emperor, so he called him five hundred to Hu, and then abandoned him. Hu Ju told Yan to tell Yan, and Yan was in prison. Some officials discussed: "The soldiers were not the ones who were married, and the faces were not the place where they were received." Yan actually abandoned the market. Since then, the minister's wife and mother died in Chaoqing. (Another note, this Yan is not Cui Yan.)
Note 3: Lao Cao jumped his feet, "I don't! Your example is inappropriate! My wife is both a widow!"
"Aren't you just a chestnut? What are you anxious about?"
Lao Cao said, why don’t you raise the chestnuts?!
Do other people have so many wives? They don’t believe it even if others give it a thumbs up!
