Chapter Eighty-Four: Fusu's Visit
As the night wore on, Zhang Liang and I sat at the edge of a few desks, he was leisurely reading a book, while I was staring at a white stone. After riding a horse for an afternoon, my bones now feel a little broken, and I have to meditate this eternal proposition of hard white stone, which really tests people's willpower.
"Yun'er, you've been staring at this stone for two hours. He said with a hint of amusement.
I couldn't help but say, "I'm so sleepy... Ovary, you can tell me an answer. β
"I said, even if I have an answer, Uncle Xun will notice that I made the answer for you, Yun'er should think for herself. β
I puffed out my mouth and twisted my eyebrows: "I can't save you when I die!"
"Uncle Xun has always admired unruly geeks, and Yun'er can find another way to write some special arguments. β
"Geek, you say yourself, you're quirky enough. I thought about it for a moment and asked tentatively, "Is it okay to write that I agree with Gongsun Long's solid white stone theory?"
"Absolutely. He curled the corners of his lips and nodded.
"Are you sure?"
"Sure!"
"Okay, if you bluff me again and let me be punished by Uncle Xun again, I won't forgive you so easily!" Once I was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, I confirmed it repeatedly, for fear that I would be rectified by him again unconsciously.
"Oh, what is Yun'er going to do to me?" he asked with interest.
"How?" I thought about it, I really didn't have the ability to do anything to him, and said sullenly, "Cold war against you!"
"What is the Cold War?"
"I just don't pay attention to you anymore!"
He smiled and said lightly: "I don't think Yun'er can't help it." β
"Hmph, who said I can't help it, if I don't talk to you, I can still find Senior Brother Zilu, and I can also find Tianming Shaoyu Shilan, and I can also find ...... Fusu!" I just wanted to be angry, but he didn't want to pull Fusu, so I quickly shut my mouth.
"Yun'er. He suddenly straightened his face and said, "Don't make trouble." β
I stuck out my tongue, I didn't expect Zhang Liang to be so jealous of Fusu, and there was a little schadenfreude in my heart, in fact, I was a little selfish, and I still liked to see him jealous, it was really much cuter than his usual appearance.
Zhang Liang stopped talking, as if he was a little angry, and I didn't care about explaining anything at such a late hour, so I buried my head in writing a bunch of arguments about why I agreed with the Jianbaishi theory, breathed a long sigh of relief, lay on the table, and fell asleep without thinking about it.
****
Early the next morning, I was woken up by the damn Zhang Liang's pinching of his nose. When I opened my eyes, I found myself sleeping all night at my desk, but with a thin quilt tightly covering me.
I raised my eyes to look at Zhang Liang and saw that he had a wicked smile on his face and a little strange expression.
"Ovary, you're too inconsiderate, you just watch me sleep here all night?"
"Hmm. He nodded, smiling harder.
"What's so funny?!"
He restrained his smile and reminded, "Yun'er, hurry up and go to class, you're really going to be late this time." It's almost time. β
"What!?, you didn't call me sooner!" I picked up the bamboo slips on the table and rushed out.
Zhang Liang was right, I was almost late, and when I saw Xunzi for the first time, I noticed that his eyes were half-closed and his face was cold, and he seemed to be very dissatisfied. I panicked in my heart, trembled and asked, bowed early, sat down on the side of the desk, and waited for Xunzi's reprimand. He opened his eyes, glanced at me, his face changed slightly, and he measured it for a moment, but he didn't scold, but just asked flatly: "Ziyu, has your homework been written?"
"Yes, Uncle Shi. I handed him the bamboo slip, and he opened it and swept it, his expression a little inexplicable, no anger or approval.
"Ziyu's point of view is indeed very unique, but have you ever thought about whether the sophistry of famous people is conducive to maintaining the principles and discipline of a country if you want to stabilize the country?"
Xunzi's tone was calm, and he didn't seem to have the intention of criticizing my arguments, so I replied along with my arguments: "Uncle Xun, Shen Yun despises it, although the way famous scholars put forward their own views is scrutiny, but they are also advocating the doctrine of "following the name and being responsible". In many cases, our perception is also limited, and there are indeed many other aspects behind many phenomena that we do not perceive, and we cannot rely solely on subjective experience to make assumptions. This is also a phenomenon that satirizes in name only. β
Xunzi's face sank without warning, and he said: "Although the famous debate method has a certain effect, it is not a benevolent way to deal with things because it is entangled in these topics of 'weaker than morality and stronger than things'. It is useless to observe and not benefit, to argue but useless, to do a lot of things but to do little work, and not to be used as a discipline to govern the program. However, it persists for a reason, and its words are reasonable, enough to deceive the foolish. They play with concepts and confuse hierarchical names, and as a result, society loses order and falls into chaos. At that time, Deng Xi preached his "two-pronged theory" in Zheng Guo, which made Zheng Guo "innumerable scholars", which resulted in chaos in Zheng Guo. β
Hearing Xunzi say this, I no longer continued to excuse the famous family, and hurriedly catered to it: "What Uncle Xun said is that it is indeed too unrealistic for the famous family. "In this ethical society that only focuses on the governance of the country and ethics, but to explore extremely abstract concepts, it is natural that history will kill you, and it is only strange that you are born at the wrong time. According to Xunzi's attitude towards famous artists, I know that it is useless to say more, maybe it will only annoy him even more.
At this time, the janitor boy suddenly came to report: "Master Xun, His Royal Highness Gongzi Fu Su is coming to visit outside the door." β
Hearing that it was Fusu's visit, Xunzi was also a little surprised, he nodded at the child, and said to me: "Ziyu, today's class is here, go back and punish the correct name 10 times." β
"Yes, Uncle Shi. I said helplessly.
Zhang Liang also said that he could definitely do it, but he was punished again, but fortunately, he just copied the correct name and didn't let me copy the whole book.
I exited the door with the child, and met Fusu at the door, and Fu Nian, who accompanied him, and Fusu also had a beautiful and lovely girl beside him, and she was also noble in her dress, and her temperament was dignified and elegant.
When they saw me, a hint of amusement flashed across their faces, especially the girl, who laughed the most joyfully. And Fu Nian's face was dark, in stark contrast to the others. I was at a loss when I saw this scene, and I saluted: "His Royal Highness Gongzi is polite." β
"Ziyu, why is the instrument so untidy, it's really rude. Fu Nian said solemnly.
I looked at Fu Nian with a puzzled expression, I didn't know what he was referring to, I didn't understand what I was pising him off.
"This is Ling Zheng, the third master of Confucianism, Mrs. Zhang. β
"Princess Yuqin, exactly. β
"Master, can you please ask Mrs. Zhang to accompany me to visit the Little Sage Village?"
"The princess doesn't need to be so polite, it's so good!" Fu Nian turned to me again and reminded, "Ziyu, don't hurry up and clean up the stains on your face." β
I touched my face, I was stunned, and I could still feel rows of prints on my face, like bamboo slip lines, and my fingers were all black stains, and then I realized that I had just written it last night and fell asleep on it, and the words were printed on my face. My face was flushed, this dead Zhang Liang actually corrected me again! This time it was even more outrageous, causing me to make a fool of myself on such an occasion, but it is conceivable that Fu Nian will not spare me afterwards, and my heart is miserable, and I will be punished by Fu Nian, which is really a disaster.
I was embarrassed, and forced out a smile and said, "It's really rude! β
I hurriedly rummaged on my body, but I didn't find a handkerchief for a long time, and I didn't bring it with me when I went out in a hurry today. I became even more nervous, so I had to wipe my face with my sleeve in embarrassment. Fusu just smiled softly, looked at me quietly, and when I wiped it randomly, he suddenly stepped forward and took out a piece of Jinpa, I was stunned and just reacted to take it, his hand had already crossed my hand, and Jinpa wiped the tip of my nose.
He smiled and put the Jinpa into my hand: "You stained my Jinpa again." β
I didn't know how to answer by him, the last time the Jinpa was to bandage the wound, this time it was to wipe the ink on the face, do I want to kneel down and say Your Highness, please forgive me?
"I'm really sorry, Your Highness Childe. I laughed dryly, and looked down to catch a glimpse of the four words on the edge of Jinpa: Friendship and rain. I chuckled in my heart, and I didn't feel appropriate to return it to him, so I hurriedly stuffed it into my sleeve. This thing can't be seen by the gossip disciples.
"I've already brought the gold sore medicine you wanted, and someone will deliver it to you later. β
"Thank you, Your Highness. "I wrote to him to get more gold sore medicine, it was for Xiao Hei to heal his wounds, I really didn't expect him to suddenly visit Confucianism today, I guess, he saw Xunzi should be grateful for saving his life.
"That's... How are you?" he asked suddenly, earnestly, in that gentle and soft tone, and his gaze fell on my face for a moment, as if he was solemnly waiting for my answer.
I was slightly stunned, although his words were simple greetings, but on this occasion, speaking in such a tone that was a little too close made me a little embarrassed, after all, Fu Nian was on the side, and the last time Zhang Liang's rudeness to Fusu was spread in the Little Sage Village, it had already made him a little annoyed.
Seeing that I didn't answer immediately, Fusu seemed to understand my scruples, his eyes darkened, and he said lightly: "It's been good lately, Zhang... Madam. β

γNoteγHard white stone: Gongsun Long believes that a hard white stone, with the eyes will not see whether it is hard, you can only see that it is white, you can not feel its white when you touch it, you can only feel its hardness, so there are only white stones and solid stones in the world, and there is no hard white stone. This is a famous sophistry point of the Sengoku masters. This argument concretely analyzes the peculiarities of the ways in which the various senses perceive things, arguing that the attributes of the things that people feel and come into contact with can only be absolutely separated.
