About two o'clock in the morning, Zhao Yu and Jingnu came to the residence of Mr. Ram.

It's not far, it's next door to the east of his house, about a few dozen steps.

Before he could get closer, Zhao Yu heard an old voice chanting from the room: "...... Those who convince others with their strength are not convinced, and they are not supported by their strength; Those who convince people with virtue will be happy and sincere in the center......"

"Mencius?"

Zhao Yu slowly walked to the open door of the house, and was surprised to see that there was an old man with white hair in the room who was carrying a book on his back with one hand, holding a book in his right hand and reading.

And what is incredible is that the article that this Mr. Ram just read is exactly the same as a certain chapter of "Mencius" in Zhao Yu's memory.

"How so?"

Zhao Yu was secretly surprised.

At this time, a young and immature voice sounded in the room: "Sir, what if you convince people with kindness and still cannot convince people with sincerity?" ”

Zhao Yu followed the sound and glanced at it, and saw a young man of his age sitting behind a low table, asking the question in his heart to the Mr. Ram standing in front of him.

That is the brother born to Zhao Yu and the same father and mother, Zhao Yin.

Hearing Zhao Yin's inquiry, Mr. Ram pondered for a moment, and said: "The benevolent person moves with affection, the gentleman knows with reason, and the villain tends to benefit." …… If benevolence cannot convince people, they may as well tempt them with fame and fortune. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu looked at the Mr. Ram a few more times in surprise, after all, this Mr. Ram felt that he was a well-educated person at first glance, and a well-learned person would rarely say such a ...... to the object of the professor Explicit, pointing to the essence of the world.

Suddenly, the ram noticed Zhao Yu standing outside the door, and after being slightly stunned, his eyes showed a little surprise, and he stroked his gray beard and smiled: "Hehehe, this is really ...... Rare guests. ”

He may think that Zhao Yu may not be able to hear the ridicule and sarcasm in his words, but in fact, Zhao Yu can hear it, so Zhao Yu hurriedly walked into the house and saluted the old man respectfully: "Mr. Ram." ”

『……』

Seeing Zhao Yu respectfully saluting himself and calling him Mr. Ram, a trace of confusion flashed in Mr. Ram's eyes.

After all, he was entrusted by Zhao Jing, the Marquis of Luyang Township, to teach the two brothers on his behalf, and the two brothers used to call him Mr., but today, the second son in front of him added an extra surname for some reason, and he was a little estranged.

"Oh, yes! The second son was traumatized while climbing a tree two days ago and lost his memories of the past.

Mr. Ram thought to himself.

"Brother, you're here."

At this time, Zhao Yin had already noticed his younger brother, greeted his younger brother, and did not forget to ask his younger brother about his intentions today, perhaps in his impression, his younger brother Zhao Yu has always hated learning, and rarely went to Mr. Ram's house to study in the past two years.

Looking at the similar-looking brothers in front of him, Mr. Ram stroked his gray beard.

For the two brothers Zhao Yin and Zhao Yu, Mr. Ram did not have any prejudice at first, after all, Zhao Jing, the Marquis of Luyang Township, had special respect for him, but after he taught for a while, in view of the fact that the brothers' attitudes towards learning were too different, he gradually paid more attention to the eldest son Zhao Yin.

Of course, even so, this Mr. Ram will not have any prejudice against the second son Zhao Yu, the problem is that Zhao Yu really doesn't like to learn, and he can't change it after a few words with the Luyang Township Marquis couple, so he gradually thinks that Zhao Yu doesn't exist, and only concentrates on teaching the eldest son Zhao Yin.

Unexpectedly, today's second son came to his side rarely.

After thinking about it, Mr. Ram stroked his beard and asked, "The second son came here today, is it for his studies or ...... Something else? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu arched his hand and said, "The kid has something to ask sir." ”

"Oh?" A hint of surprise and surprise flashed in Mr. Ram's eyes, but he nodded and said, "Please speak." ”

Seeing this, Zhao Yu asked: "Mr. Ram, when I was chatting with my mother today, when I talked about the Son of Heaven in this country, the boy was very interested in it, but my mother didn't know much about it, so I asked me to ask Mr., I wonder if Mr. can tell me more?" ”

“……”

Mr. Ram glanced at Zhao Yu a few times, nodded slowly and said, "Of course." The townsman, please come down to teach the two sons, and you should know everything in the next place, and do your best to solve the doubts of the two sons, but ......"

"But?"

Zhao Yu was very surprised in his heart: Could it be that this old gentleman still has any conditions?

Just when Zhao Yu was wondering in his heart, the ram gentleman explained the reason: "However, what the second son wants to know is not included in the next teaching for the time being, and I forgive you for not delaying the eldest son's studies and specifically solving the doubts of the second son." If the second son wants to understand, he can solve the doubts for the second son while he is resting......"

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Yu realized that the weight of the two brothers in the heart of this old gentleman was very different, but he could also understand this, after all, it was him, and I believe that he also liked the diligent and studious one more.

"Then thank you, Mr. Ram."

After thanking him, Zhao Yu showed a little hesitation on his face, not knowing whether to stay here or turn around and leave, so as not to disturb his brother's study, after all, the attitude of the ram in front of him was not close.

As if seeing his hesitation, Mr. Ram took the initiative to speak: "Since the second son is here today, you might as well learn something, okay?" ”

"Uh...... Good. Zhao Yu hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded.

Seeing this, Mr. Ram nodded slightly, let Zhao Yu sit down on the empty table beside him, and then turned around and rummaged through the bookcase to find something.

Taking advantage of the opportunity for the old gentleman to turn around, Zhao Yin glanced at Jing Nu standing behind Zhao Yu, and whispered to his younger brother: "Brother, I heard that my mother told Jing Nu to take care of you?" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Yu nodded inexplicably.

Getting Zhao Yu's affirmation, Zhao Yin secretly glanced at the quiet girl who was standing quietly not far away, and muttered with some envy: "Stinky boy......"

Seeing this, Zhao Yu felt a little funny in his heart.

Could it be that this cheap brother secretly likes Jingnu in private? ...... at a young age

But he didn't care, after all, in his opinion, this little brother only had an ignorant good impression of Jingnu at best.

At this time, Mr. Ram had already turned around with a book, so Zhao Yin didn't dare to talk to his younger brother anymore, and lowered his head to silently recite the articles on the book in front of him.

"Second son."

Slowly walking in front of Zhao Yu, Mr. Ram bent down and spread the book in his hand on the low table in front of Zhao Yu, and immediately nodded one of the paragraphs with his fingers, and said, "This paragraph, please read it to the second son." ”

Zhao Yu looked down at the section that Mr. Ram was referring to.

That paragraph of text is only about twenty or thirty words, considering that Mr. Ram's request is only for Zhao Yu to read, of course, this is not a difficulty.

To Zhao Yu's surprise, he recognized all twenty or thirty characters—to be exact, he recognized this font, which in his previous life was called regular script.

Recognize it, but because Zhao Yu didn't often use this font in his previous life, he still had a hard time recognizing it at the moment, so that he read it intermittently.

“…… Disciple into ...... Filial piety, out of the faithful, pan ...... Loving and kind. Yes...... If you have spare energy, you will learn the text. ”

During Zhao Yu's recitation, Mr. Ram listened with his beard and nodded slightly from time to time.

I think he was testing whether Zhao Yu remembered the words he had taught after his amnesia.

And the results of the test made this Mr. Ram satisfied and dissatisfied.

Satisfaction refers to the fact that the second son was lucky not to forget these words that he had taught in the past; As for dissatisfaction, it was probably because he saw Zhao Yu's intermittent appearance when he recited, and thought that the second son had abandoned his studies.

"When a disciple enters, he is filial, and when he goes out, he is cautious and faithful, and he loves all people and is kind. If you have spare energy, you will learn the text. …… This is the admonition of the saints. ”

After that, Mr. Ram looked at Zhao Yu again, and said with a calm face: "Fortunately, in the past to teach the second son these words, the second son still remembers, but with all due respect, the second son should spend some energy in this regard, the ancients, playthings, the second son, as the second son of the Luyang township, should establish lofty ambitions and work hard for this since he was a child, and should not waste his time because of playfulness, so that when he is big, he has no ink, which is despised by people." ”

In all fairness, in fact, Mr. Ram didn't want to persuade the second son in front of him too much, because his past experience told him that it was useless to say too much, he was purely for the sake of the high remuneration paid to him by the Luyang townsman, and he reluctantly persuaded the second son in front of him.

However, what comforted Mr. Ram a little was that at least the attitude of the second son in front of him was quite satisfactory to him.

"Thank you Mr. Ram for your teachings, boy, remember." Zhao Yu replied respectfully.

I don't know if I think Zhao Yu can still be cultivated, or I don't want to be ashamed of the heavy money that Zhao Jing, the marquis of Luyang Township, hired him, although Mr. Ram kept saying that he didn't want Zhao Yu's appearance to disturb the eldest son Zhao Yin's studies, but he still sat down next to Zhao Yu at this time, and explained to Zhao Yu the "sage admonition" that he had just asked him to recite.

This sage's admonition, from the Analects of Confucius, records the exhortation or requirement of Confucius to his disciples, so it also has another name - disciple rules.

Although this sage's exhortation is only 25 words, it involves filial piety, piety, sincerity, faith, pan-love for the public, kindness and learning, which are the ideas advocated by Confucianism.

In the following time, Mr. Ram once again told Zhao Yu in detail about what is filial piety, piety, sincerity, faith and other Confucian thoughts, and during this period, Zhao Yin and Jingnu also listened carefully.
