Volume 3 Spring and Autumn of the Pencil Chapter 227 The unity of knowledge and action

Cao Yi and the others stayed in Lu Mansion for lunch, everyone sat in the courtyard basking in the sun, but they each sat at two ends, Yu Youwei and Sikong Youyi surrounded Ya Niang and Mrs. Qin, at this time, Ya Niang was teaching the two daughters various tricks and points of ordering tea, while Cao Yi and Lu Lao were sitting on the other side and chatting.

At this time, it is not yet the first month, and the snow on some roads and branches in Jiangning City has not yet melted, but Chunyan seems to have come back early, at this time, in the warm sun, there are two or three will stay on the branches in the yard, tilting their heads to look at the people under the trees, occasionally chirping twice, I don't know how to look at people in their field of vision......

Lu Lao looked at the spring swallows calling on the branches, with a faint smile on his face, the swallow can be said to be a symbol of spring, which not only brings spring, but also brings vitality, I am afraid that in more than ten days, the most beautiful spring scenery of the year will come.

In fact, no matter what age it is, there is always an inexplicable preference for spring, because spring is always full of vitality and gives people an infinitely beautiful feeling, especially for those who are close to the age of sixties, every time spring comes, I feel that every day seems to be more fresh and full of life than before, and there is always some indescribable feeling in my heart, an indescribable excitement and joy for no reason...... It seems that the rippling willow branches, the warm breeze, and the flowers in a thousand shapes in spring always remind people of something, or look forward to it, or look forward to it......

"If the matter over there in Yangzhou is over, will you return to Jiangning?" Lu Lao asked.

Cao Yi looked at the Chunyan jumping on the branches, his eyes were in a trance, and he replied absentmindedly: "If the Drunken Immortal Building over there can improve within a month, and we don't need to be in the town over there anymore, then we should come back, after all, we have to rush to Hangzhou before April, and Jiangning always has to come here to rest assured." ”

When Lu Lao heard that Cao Yi was going to Hangzhou, he turned his head to look at Cao Yi, and said with a smile: "Is it difficult for you kid to really go to various places to study." ”

"Half and half, the drunken fairy building on the side of the West Lake is also going to open around the Dragon Boat Festival, it is true to develop the drunken fairy building to open up the market, and it is also true to travel to study around the world to increase knowledge...... For me, the growth of my life and the books I read in the previous 16 years have only taught me the truth that mountains are mountains and water is water. And the next stage of my life is that I should go everywhere to experience and try to understand what it means to see the mountains and not the mountains, and the water is not the water......" At this time, Cao Yi put his hands behind his back, his eyes looked straight ahead, and a faint temperament arose spontaneously at this time.

"......" Lu Lao looked at Cao Yi speechlessly, his cheeks beating silently, and he scolded with a smile: "You are only sixteen years old now, you do what you should do now, just say what you should say now, don't do all those vain moths......"

"Father-in-law, I think what Childe just said is very philosophical about life......" At this time, Yu Youwei came over to bring the tea that Yaniang had just ordered to the two, and just heard the conversation between the two just now, and expressed her opinion at this time.

Lu Lao looked at Yu Youwei and smiled helplessly, and said: "Father-in-law is not saying that what Cao Yi said is wrong, on the contrary, what he said just now is indeed very philosophical, but as a young man who is only sixteen years old and has just tied his hair and has not yet reached the crown, he will always ...... to say such old-fashioned words will always make people feel that he is pretending, and will pay more attention to him, then the more he will be jealous, although it is mediocre not to be envied, but the golden mean still has his existence and reason. ”

Cao Yi smiled and said to Yu Youwei: "What Old Lu said is actually reasonable, and I also understand Lu."

If you are too good, too prominent, too talented, then you will be attacked by a group of mediocre people, this is the case in society now, and so is the people's hearts. So in the future, we have to see people and talk about people, and talk about ghosts, one set in front of people, one set behind them, three knives on both sides, left and right, and ......" Cao Yi said happily regardless of Lu Lao's completely darkened face at the moment.

"Get out! What kind of messy fallacies and heresies......" Lu Laoshi couldn't stand Cao Yi's demon, and roared angrily at this time, but this also attracted the side eyes and attention of Mrs. Qin, Ya Niang and Sikong Youyi over there, and Mrs. Qin even wanted to come over to see what the situation was, why the good ones suddenly became so angry.

Cao Yi naturally also noticed the situation over there, and shook his head at Mrs. Qin with a smile at the moment, signaling that there was nothing wrong here, and Old Lu also reacted and waved his hand at Mrs. Qin, and Mrs. Qin over there glanced at this side angrily, as if to say, "With a master and apprentice like you, can't you talk well?" ”

"Then what Childe wanted to say just now, if it was a suitable way to put it in another way?" Yu Youwei tilted her head and asked at the moment, she couldn't think of any good replacement for a while.

Cao Yi smiled, glanced at Lu Lao, and said: "Actually, what Lu Lao means is to let me say something that is in line with what ordinary people of my age should say, such as what I said just now, if it is replaced by ordinary people, they will say, 'Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, because only after seeing the real thousands of hills and ravines can you write the hills and ravines in your chest in the poetry and lyrics and writing articles.'" ’”

Yu Youwei stuck out her tongue and said self-deprecatingly: "It seems that I can't even compare to ordinary people, I can't say what I said just now......"

"However, although Lu Lao's words are correct to a certain extent, sometimes they also have to be divided into occasions and personnel, and at critical moments, you can still thunder in a silent place, and say one or two words that can calm the audience, which makes them stunned." Cao Yi looked at Yu Youwei and said with a smile.

"......" Lu Lao's eyelids jumped, watching Cao Yi play treasure here, but his righteous daughter was so cooperative with Cao Yi, he didn't want to reprimand more, and he also wanted to know at the moment what Cao Yi said that could calm the audience from thundering in a silent place, so he leaned back in his chair, looked at Cao Yi obliquely, and said, "Come, you come and say something to the old man that can make me listen to the thunder in a silent place." ”

Cao Yi looked at Lu Lao with a smile and said word by word: "Know...... Yes...... Combine...... One! ”

When Lu Lao heard Cao Yi's four words, he first sat up straight, and then kept repeating these four words in his mouth, every time he said it, the gaze in his eyes became a little hotter, and in the end, it became brighter and brighter, his eyes lit up, and the whole person stood up suddenly.

Although Yu Youwei has also been literate and hyphenated since she was a child, and is familiar with poetry, it is obviously impossible for her to have a deep understanding and understanding of these four words at first glance, but she can get a glimpse of the whole leopard, just by seeing the shocked expression on her father's face at the moment, she knows how heavy these four words are. So she looked at her father-in-law for a while, Cao Yi for a while, and then at her father-in-law, so she was so happy.

Lu Lao admitted that he was indeed shocked by Cao Yi's "thunder", just four words, the more he pondered, the more he pondered, the more he felt that it was as heavy as a thousand pounds, majestic and tall, as if it was like the ancient existence of the sages and wisdom, he dared to assert that these four words, even after thousands of years, will shine in the long river of history.

Lu Lao looked at him in shock and shook his head at this time,

Like a naughty young man without any literati backbone, Cao Yi couldn't help but shake his head, he really couldn't figure it out, how could he say the four sentences of "establishing a heart for heaven and earth, establishing a life for the people, continuing to learn for the saints, and opening peace for all generations" How can the four words of "unity of knowledge and action" be the person in front of him who makes him want to beat people, which is not a little different from the image of the "sage".

No matter which dynasty it is placed in, even if it is at the same time as Confucius and Yasheng, no matter who utters these four sentences or any of these four words, they will be called "sages" by many Hongru and later generations.

Lu Lao looked at Cao Yi's stubborn appearance of having neither the bearing of a sage nor the demeanor of a saint, and felt that the glorious image of the sage in his heart had been completely destroyed, and his heart was depressed and subtle, just like an idol he had admired for many years, and suddenly found that he was actually the butcher next door...... It's just that he told himself in his heart that the real sage is not like Cao Yi, but the latter is still young, so he has not yet precipitated his temperament and the so-called sage style...... However, when Cao Yi raised his eyebrows at Lu Lao, and then showed a bright smile, the last bit of persistence in Lu Lao's mind also shattered with a "bang" and disappeared without a trace.

Okay, let's do it, the inconsistency between the inner conjecture and the real world makes Lu Lao look complicated at the moment, but Cao Yi doesn't care about it, he still smiles brightly at the moment, and says: "Lu Lao, how is it, these four words have a university question, a big pattern, a big atmosphere, and a big height, right?" When I was thinking about how to say 'read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles' in another way, these four words suddenly came out of my mind. ”

Cao Yi's words made Lu Lao feel even more powerless, these words and sentences that are destined to become Confucian holy texts, but they are always said inadvertently by Cao Yi, for others, they may not be able to summarize and sort out the doctrines and ideas in their lives, but here in Cao Yi, it is as simple as eating, drinking, and sleeping, this person is really incomparable to people...... Lu Lao sighed inwardly.

But...... Even the people who exist like sages are all disciples and protΓ©gΓ©s of my Lu Meng...... Thinking about it like this, Lu Lao was not so depressed in his heart, and even a little excited, after all, the teacher of the saint would also be a person who would leave a name in history.

For Cao Yi, how could he guess a little bit of Lu Lao's complex and contradictory inner thoughts now, but this is also the source of Cao Yi's happiness, he feels that he is now sitting on all kinds of plug-ins and plug-ins, and then unilaterally crushes and bullies the ancient people like NPCs, which gives him an extra sense of pleasure and achievement.

"Okay, okay, you're a freak, you can say whatever you want in the future, I can't control it, but poems like "Crane Rushing to the Sky", you must not write random scribbles for me in the future......" Lu Lao was obviously still angry about Cao Yi's poem at the Oiran Competition, and he had a deep prejudice, and he didn't forget to mention Cao Yi again at this moment.

"Yes, yes, what Lu Lao said is reasonable, this matter is indeed my inconsiderate ......" Cao Yi hurriedly nodded and admitted his mistake.

Lu Lao looked at Cao Yi and shook his head helplessly, for this student, he knows, when you say that he is wrong, he will admit his mistakes 100% sincerely and humbly, and whether it is him as a teacher, or any talented scholar, Cao Yi will be like this, just turn his head, next time he will definitely still go his own way, as if it was not himself who admitted his mistakes before, for this kind of lazy practice, Lu Lao doesn't want to say it now...... Let him go, I just hope that he won't be like Song Xin again, too reckless, and finally cause the holy anger and cut off the future.
