Miss Manli glanced at her with a smile, and was obediently staying in her room, not even watching the live broadcast of his favorite sports events, and seemed to be concentrating on reading Qi Jingtao. It seems that there is a story happening, alas, it can't just be a classic story of reading at night with red sleeves, right?

"Brother Tao is so elegant, what kind of book is so flavorful, you need to taste it upside down?" Xu Manli leaned against the door of Qi Jingtao's room, looking at this man who had not seen her for more than ten days, but only said hello to her and read a book seriously.

Qi Jingtao raised the book that he hurriedly grabbed in his hand, oh, he did take it down, and when his fingers turned, the book returned to the front, glanced at the content that had been turned on the page, and said unashamedly: "Mr. Nan Huaijin's "Analects of Distinction" is too profound, and only by turning the book over and carefully tasting it can you taste the taste. ”

"Nan Huaijin, oh, what kind of person is that?" Xu Manli turned her beautiful eyes with a smile, leaning motionless against the door, waiting for Qi Jingtao's reply.

Mr. Nan's books were collected by the old Qi Zhen and carried with him, and Qi Jingtao often borrowed them to read after discovering them, especially in the days when he was training in the hot spring resort, he often borrowed them when he had nothing to do.

Qi Jingtao had read the book "The Analects of Distinction" for a few days, and he knew a thing or two about the author, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Nan Huaijin, a celebrity! Some people say that he is also a Confucian, not a Confucian, a Buddha but not a Buddha. ”

"Oh, it's so mysterious, Mr. Nan Huaijin, I don't know. I've read some of the Analects, Brother Tao, which passage are you tasting today?" Xu Manli continued to interrogate reluctantly.

"Friends from afar, happy?" Qi Jingtao's cold sweat was about to come out, and this girl was endless.

"Oh, so soon you only recognize me as a friend, but my friend has come back from a long business trip, and you two don't seem to be happy at all. Xu Manli looked back at Su Min, who was still concentrating on watching TV, and seemed to grasp the unusualness.

Qi Jingtao felt that he was sweating all over his body, this girl was evil, he stood up with the book, looked at Xu Manli with a smile and said: "All along, I have also understood this sentence of Confucius. But Mr. Nan has a different statement. I think it makes a lot of sense. Alas, the books of these years have really been read in vain. ”

Xu Manli was interested, clasped her hands to her chest, shrugged her shoulders, looked at Qi Jingtao and said: "Zi said: Learn and learn from time to time, don't you also say it? There are friends from afar, and you are happy? People don't know and are not ashamed, and they are not gentlemen? What the teacher taught me is the meaning I just understood, and that Mr. Nan can still explain a flower? Brother Tao said, 'There are friends from afar, are you happy?'

Su Min, who was pretending to watch TV in the living room, but had been pricking up his ears to listen to the conversation between the two, couldn't sit still, turned around, knelt on the sofa, and looked at the two people talking about learning inside and outside the door with great interest.

Qi Jingtao himself was also interested, good books have to be shared to have fun, he watched Xu Manli drop the book bag: "What Mr. Nan said, Confucius is a saint, and his students can't say such a plain saliva at the beginning of such an important work as "The Analects". Zi said: When you learn and learn it, don't you also say that there are friends from afar, and you are happy? People don't know and are not ashamed, and they are not gentlemen?

According to the explanation taught by the teacher, the son once said: Isn't it also a happy thing to learn and learn it? Just like having a friend from afar, isn't it also a thing to be happy about? Isn't it also a sign of a gentleman's trip to a man who doesn't know this truth and is not angry with him? Isn't it very simple and easy to remember?

"Yes, isn't it worth being happy to have friends from afar?"

"What I have been tasting today is this sentence, the point is not to learn and learn, but 'Friends from afar, happy?' Mr. Nan's explanation is: When a person is thinking about the world and the country, and future generations, it is when he is lonely and desolate, and a confidant comes, which is a very happy thing. And the word 'far' in 'friends from afar' is very important and is the most worthy of in-depth analysis. ”

"Far, far, far, far away, far away, far away, far away, far away, isn't it just a word that means distance. In Confucius's time, how far did it take to walk for ten days and half a month? Hehe, it's a long way, right?" Su Min involuntarily inserted into the discussion.

"Hehehe, the problem lies in the understanding of 'far'. Far away is not necessarily the 'far' that indicates the distance of space, a friend from afar.

This is not the meaning of the Analects, his word 'far' is to describe the rarity of a confidant. We have an old saying: 'You have a confidant in life, and you have no regrets in death.' 'Anyone who has been a person all his life, including your family, is not necessarily your confidant, so if you can have a confidant, you can die without regrets. Even if a person does something vigorously for a lifetime, he may not be able to get a confidant who knows you completely, especially if he is a scholar.

So the second sentence follows: It is a pleasure to have friends from afar - you should not be afraid that no one will know, and slowly someone will know that this person is far away. This 'far' is not necessarily the 'far' of space, but may also be the 'far' of time.

Confucius's knowledge began to rise 500 years after the death of Confucius, and it began to rise greatly by the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Dong Zhongshu promoted Confucius, and Sima Qian wrote the "Records of the Historians," praising Confucius very much. Confucius has been very lonely in the past 500 years, so he knows that 'it is very happy to have friends from afar.' ”

"Is this Mr. Nan's explanation?" asked Su Min stupidly.

"Yes, this is Nan Huaijin's new interpretation of this well-known sentence after reading the Analects?" Qi Jingtao expressed Mr. Nan's opinion with the help of his memory, and while admiring Mr. Nan Huaijin in his heart, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems to make a lot of sense, no wonder Brother Tao needs to read the book upside down, count you over!" Xu Manli smiled with satisfaction.

"Would you rather be friends or confidants with me?" Qi Jingtao asked cheaply.

"Confidant, confidant, do you mind?" Xu Manli's face showed a hint of confusion, how easy is it between a man and a woman to become a confidant? The so-called confidante is just a synonym for vassal elegance.

Su Minjie doesn't mind, can she not mind? It's just that at this time, she can't express the slightest mind, but wants to show the deep enthusiasm of sisterhood. Su Min didn't pretend to sit in the living room, watching the inexplicable sports game on the TV. She resolutely left Qi Jingtao down to read his book, and pulled Xu Manli back to the room to mumble and talk about their private words.
