Chapter 31 Quotations from the Scriptures
As soon as Mrs. Chen was about to speak, she was grabbed by Mrs. An on the side and said, "Come and listen, why don't I know that there is such an allusion in the Analects." ”
Li said in his heart: "Where is there such an allusion, this kid." She was about to step forward to relieve Dong Ruyi, but her arm was grabbed.
As soon as Li turned his head, he saw Wan who shook his head at her, and looked at Song casually, and Song also looked at her worriedly, for fear that she would collide with her.
Li had no choice but to retreat and watch quietly, feeling a little more pity for Dong Ruyi in his heart.
Dong Ruyi didn't feel the weirdness of the atmosphere at all, and replied loudly: "Sister Ru doesn't know if what she said is right or not, please ask Mrs. for advice." As he spoke, he bowed to Mrs. An.
Mrs. An smiled, her etiquette was very regular, but it was a scholar's etiquette.
Dong Ruyi also smiled in his heart, and said in his heart: "Mrs. An is really a wonderful person. ”
The three daughters-in-law of the Chen family were slightly relieved when they saw that Mrs. An did not mean to embarrass her sister.
Dong Ruyi showed a little excitement and said: "Sister Ru likes the story of Confucius the most, Sister Ru remembers that Confucius has a disciple named Zeng Shen." Once, when he accidentally injured a wheat seedling while hoeing weeds, his father Zeng Hui beat him with a stick. Zeng Shen did not escape, he stood and was beaten, but he was knocked unconscious, and gradually woke up after a while. As soon as Zeng Shen woke up, he asked his father, "Are you injured?" "At that time, the people of Lu praised Zeng Shen as a dutiful son."
I saw that the smile on Mrs. An's face was getting stronger and stronger, as if she was very satisfied with Dong Ruyi's statement.
The other onlookers listened attentively.
The fifth lady said: "That's how to be a filial son." ”
Except for Mrs. Chen's vague sense that something was wrong, no one else felt it.
Dong Ruyi's eyebrows fluttered, and he continued: "Guess what Confucius said after he found out? ”
She didn't wait for others to answer, and said directly: "After Confucius learned about this, he personally told the disciple guarding the door: "Zeng Shen came, don't let him enter the door!" Zeng Shen thought that he had done nothing wrong, so he asked others to ask Confucius why he did this to him. Confucius explained: "Haven't you heard about Shun? When Shun was a son, his father beat him with a small stick, and he stood still; His father beat him with a big stick, and he fled. When his father wanted to work for him, he was always by his father's side; When his father tried to kill him, he couldn't find him anyway. Now when Zeng Shen was angry with his father, he did not run away, and let his father beat him with a big stick, this is not the king's people. Is it not a sin to cause the king's people to be killed? "May I ask what this young lady said is the same as what Confucius said?"
All the ladies looked at Dong Ruyi in shock, who would have thought that it would be such an allusion, isn't this a backword?
Li's hand had already been loosened, and when she heard that Confucius didn't let Zeng Shen enter the door, she felt that something was wrong, and said in her heart: "This bad girl actually refers to Sang scolding Huai, and actually scolding Mrs. Zhang's daughter with the allusion of Confucius Sage educating students, I'm afraid she even scolded the Zhang family with her." ”
Mrs. An was so shocked that she covered her mouth with her hands, she knew which dialogue it was from Dong Ruyi's mention of Zeng Shen's name, and she thought that Dong Ruyi was too young to understand the meaning, so she misinterpreted it.
She never imagined that a three-year-old child would borrow Zeng Shen's story to tell everyone, 'The father let the son die, and the son had to die', which was wrong in the eyes of Sage Kong.
Obviously, the other ladies and ladies all understood.
Miss Zhang Wu behind Mrs. Zhang also understood a little.
Her face was slightly red, tears were rolling in her eyes, and she was at a loss, where had she ever been insulted like this.
Dong Ru didn't say anything, she looked at Mrs. Zhang, and saluted: "Mrs. Zhang, what the young lady behind you said just now is what Confucius said?" ”
Mrs. Zhang's face turned red, and she stood there, her hands trembling slightly, and the nails of her tail finger had been broken, but she didn't know that she had ever been humiliated like this.
She didn't answer Dong Ruyi's words, but turned around and slapped her daughter and left angrily.
Miss Zhang Wu covered her face and forgot to cry.
Dong Ruyi said meaningfully: "Could it be that the mother told the daughter to die, and the woman had to die?" ”
Miss Zhang Wu reacted, covered her face and ran away.
Mrs. An snorted out laughing and said, "What a wonderful person, I was just wondering, when did Sage Kong teach such bastard words, it turns out, hehe... It's so... And your sentence, the mother called the daughter to die, how did your little brain turn so fast? ”
The other ladies covered their mouths and noses, and they all held back laughter, and they could not dare to make fun of Mrs. Du.
Mrs. Yuan reacted from the shock at this time, and hurriedly said to the maid beside her: "Let people follow, don't let Miss Zhang Wu get lost." "She is really afraid that Miss Zhang Jiawu will seek death in her, and the hellish mother will let her daughter die.
Mrs. Yuan was relieved when she saw the maid chasing after her, only to see that all the ladies were smiling, and the younger shoulders were shrugged.
Mrs. Yuan sighed, a little helpless.
said that Dong Ruyi was ignorant and spoke regardless of the occasion, but people could say such a big truth; said that she all understood that she was deliberately angry with Mrs. Zhang, but she was only three years old, and she couldn't blame her for no reason, not to mention that this was caused by Mrs. Deng.
She looked at Madame Deng in disgust.
Mrs. Deng was already hiding among the lady who had just come over, talking as if this matter had nothing to do with her.
Seeing that Dong Ruyi was still with an inexplicable face at the moment, Mrs. An said, "Sister Ruyi, come here." ”
Dong Ruyi looked at Mrs. Chen and did not go over.
Mrs. Chen said in her heart: "Look at me this time, why don't you know how to look at me when you are so energetic as you just said." ”
But he said, "Go ahead, show Mrs. An." ”
Dong Ruyi walked over, Mrs. An pulled Dong Ruyi to look left and right, and finally said: "You tell Mrs. An, do you really not understand, or do you pretend not to understand?" ”
When the other wives heard this, they all looked at it.
Mrs. Chen was even more depressed, there was still someone who held on to it, so let this matter go over.
Mrs. Chen said: "Sister An can't indulge her, she is used to being like this by the one in our family." ”
Dong Ruyi added in his heart, "I'm a good girl, okay, if people don't offend me, I won't offend people." The one in front of him is the one who fears that the world will not be chaotic. ”
Mrs. An still wanted to know, and whispered: "Don't pay attention to your grandmother, talk to Mrs. An?" ”
Dong Ruyi replied seriously: "Sister Ru really hasn't heard anything like that, my father has never recited such an article, and my grandfather has never taught such a famous saying." Sister Ru was thinking at the time, it seemed that only Sage Kong had said something like this, so she said it smartly, and she didn't know if it was Zhang Guan Li Dai. ”
