Chapter 81: The Confucian Mind of Care
Ren Zhen didn't plan to listen to Mr. Ram's explanation of "Spring and Autumn", and he disdained it.
Because "Spring and Autumn" is too mysterious, like a book from heaven, what is now circulating in the world is no longer the original work written by the most holy Confucius, but the version of "Spring and Autumn Dew" revised by today's Confucian saint Dong Zhongshu.
Even so, the current version is still difficult to understand and cannot be understood by the majority of Confucian scholars, so there are three further annotated versions of "Ram Spring and Autumn", "Zuo's Spring and Autumn" and "Guliang Spring and Autumn".
This is equivalent to a classic textbook, which also needs to be understood by a tutorial book with a tutorial book, and after countless translations, most of them have already lost its original meaning.
For Ren Zhen, who is determined to climb to the top, it's okay not to listen. What else can the purpose of this kind of counseling book be other than misleading people's children?
To read a book, you have to read the genuine version, which is a good habit that he retained from reading novels in his previous life.
Although he was determined to skip class, after following many disciples to the academy on the top of Momoyama, Ren Zhen realized a serious problem.
He didn't know the way.
He only knew that the original "Spring and Autumn" was kept on the mountain behind the academy, engraved on more than 70 stone tablets, and was located in a forest of scripture tablets, but he didn't know which of these roads leading in all directions led to the forest of steles.
It made him laugh and cry. He was a road obsessive by nature, and even if he was given a road map, he would not be able to find it in the face of the complex architectural layout.
He had to try his luck and go around. You can't just stop a person and just ask where the biggest forbidden place in the academy is, right?
So, after wandering around the academy, he was extremely embarrassed to walk in front of the teachers and students who were in class.
In the Spring and Autumn Period, there were 3,000 disciples under the throne of Confucius, and there were many of them. In order to facilitate teaching, he built an apricot altar in an open area and taught at the altar. Gradually, this became a fixed tradition of Confucian teaching.
At this moment, Mr. Ram was standing on the open-air apricot altar, teaching hundreds of students, and as soon as he turned around, he caught a glimpse of Ren Zhen riding an old cow and rushing over.
The old gentleman suddenly became angry, slapped the ring ruler in his hand, blew his beard and glared: "Cai Jiushi, the old man is teaching the inner disciples, who let one of you break through with an outer disciple!" ”
Ren Zhen was still very uneasy, but now he was relieved, and he did it for a long time, it turned out that I didn't have to take this lesson, so dare to be kind.
As soon as he slapped the cow's buttocks, he turned around and was about to slip away, when the old gentleman's shouts sounded from behind.
"Come back!"
Ren Zhen was helpless, jumped off the back of the cow stupidly, drooped his head, and waited for the ram to be trained.
Ram Hong walked to the edge of the high altar, looked at Ren Zhen condescendingly, and suddenly became amiable.
"Xiao Cai, I didn't expect you to enter the Three Realms so quickly...... The old man made an exception for you to sit in on the hearing once, and brought two jars of good wine! ”
Ren Zhen obediently took down the two jars of wine from the ox cart, moved them to the apricot altar, and stood there quietly.
Looking at the two jars of wine, Ram Hong nodded with satisfaction, turned around and saw that Ren Zhen was still there, and couldn't help but be stunned, "What are you doing here?" Why don't you go down to the lecture yet! ”
Ren Zhen shook his head, did not obediently return to the student seat, but stretched out his hand and said, "Teacher, you haven't paid for the wine yet." ”
Ram Hong's expression stiffened, and his beard trembled. The old man asked you to listen to the class, just to promote you, and you still dare to ask me for wine money?
Ren Zhen smiled, his hand stopped in front of the old gentleman's eyes, and insisted on collecting the money.
Seeing this, Ram Hong's face was unusually ugly.
The reason why he made a temporary decision to let Ren Zhen stay and listen was because of the three realms and the three realms, purely because he wanted to drink two jars of wine for free.
Who would have thought that this kid was so uninteresting, he pretended to be confused, and wanted to make things difficult for him.
In full view, as a division commander, he definitely can't afford not to pay. Drinking alcohol to give money, this is a natural thing.
But once he gives money, he is tantamount to admitting that he is being yin by Ren Zhen, but he can't be angry and angry, and then drive Ren Zhen away, otherwise it is tantamount to admitting in public that he wants to take advantage of others to stay.
Ram Hong rode the tiger hard, glaring at Ren Zhen fiercely, his face was pale. It's not that he doesn't have money, it's just that this dumb loss is a loss, and he doesn't want to eat.
Ren Zhen saw it in his eyes and sneered in his heart, "Old boy, dare to make a small calculation with me, you are calculating to the head of the ancestral master!" ”
At this time, in the crowd of people, a harsh voice sounded.
"Cai Jiushi, it's not so much that you are upright, but that you are stupid!"
Ren Zhen followed the prestige, only to see a young junior standing up and looking at him arrogantly.
"Mr. is a contemporary Confucian, rich in five cars, the rich businessmen under the mountain give five-flowered horses, a thousand gold qiu, please don't move him to teach, but you don't know the blessing in the blessing, even two jars of wine, you refuse to honor the teacher!"
Obviously, this person stood up to solve the siege, just to step on Ren Zhen's foot and take the opportunity to curry favor with Ram Hong.
Ren Zhen remained silent and scolded secretly: "In this way, a group of women are vying for dedication, and the old guy is not uncommon, just want to explode your chrysanthemum, and you will be grateful?" ”
Ram Hong's face softened a little, and said, "Gong Fu, please sit down." This kid buys and returns the pearls, he doesn't know how to lift, the teacher is broad-minded, how can he be as knowledgeable as him! ”
When Ren Zhen heard this, his face changed slightly, and he was shocked, "I'll take it, it turns out that this is Miyagi's precious son!" ”
He scratched his head and asked, "If I don't listen to the class, can I bring the wine back?" ”
Miyagi was speechless. This kid is willing to give up listening to Mr. Ram's class for a few pennies, is he stupid?
At this time, Ram Hong took out a string of copper coins, threw them to Ren Zhen in the air, and said in a cold voice: "Rotten wood can't be carved!" Get down to class! ”
He was angry, and he had already decided that when he answered questions and solved problems later, he must humiliate Ren Zhen and let out this evil breath.
Ren Zhenxin was as clear as a mirror, sensing the cold light in the old man's eyes, and put the copper coin into his arms, "The student is only humble and humble, and he is not worthy of being with all the talents, so he still retired!" ”
He hadn't even thought about attending a lecture here. It was Ram Hong who casually broke the rules of the academy in order to make a few pennies and asked him to stay.
A group of rotten Confucians who sit in the well and watch the sky, only know how to play with these careful thoughts, how can they get a glimpse of the true meaning of "Spring and Autumn", and who is qualified to be a teacher.
There is no need to listen to such a class.
Ram Hong was surprised, and his expression quickly returned to indifference, "Unexpectedly, you are still a little self-aware. A fool like you is not worthy of reading "Spring and Autumn". Let's get out! ”
Ren Zhen smiled and retreated.
"Am I a fool? So what are you? When I solve the real "Spring and Autumn", I hope your faces won't be too swollen by then! ”
In just a quarter of an hour, Gongsun Hong's master and apprentice did not disappoint Ren Zhen. Sure enough, as he remembered, the more benevolent and moral people are, the more hypocritical and ugly they are.
After he left, in the crowd below the apricot altar, Zhao Xianglu stared at his back with a complicated expression. Only she knows Ren Zhen's strength best.
"If he's stupid, then what are we?"
