Yu Ming shook the top of the child's head, his eyes were full of love, and he said approvingly: "At a young age, he is talented and sincere, and he will achieve extraordinary achievements in time, good boy, not bad, not bad." ”

The child's happy hand saluted: "Thank you grandfather for the compliment." ”

Yu Mingshi laughed, looked at Fang Jun who was smiling and silent beside him, and said sincerely: "Erlang usually seems to be reckless, but in fact, he has a splendid chest, and the teachings of the people produced by this "Three Character Classic" alone are enough to go down in history. The so-called peach and plum are speechless, and the next is its own, which is exactly what it is. ”

Peach and plum trees can't speak, never self-promote, but peach and plum are really blooming beautiful flowers, bearing sweet fruits, and silently serving people, so there is no need to brag, people will often come down to the peach and plum tree, and the field under the tree will naturally step out of a path, and people will praise and praise them.

Strive to be practical in doing things, not still vain, it is called "peach and plum do not speak", just like Fang Jun, who runs a school silently and compiles books silently, but never flaunts the pragmatic spirit of boasting.

Fang Jun was really proud in his heart, and was about to speak, when he heard a commotion in the courtyard.

"Old Iron Head, can Erlang be in your house?"

"You're stupid, do you need to ask? I didn't see Jiro's horse tied to the door. ”

"Erlang, are you here?"

"Yesterday, I hunted roe deer in the mountains, and I didn't want to eat it, so I specially sent it to you to try it."

"My mother-in-law took advantage of the rain to pick a lot of mountain mushrooms, the most delicious, specially used to honor you."

"Erlang, where does the old iron head cook? Just go to my house to eat, my mother-in-law is a must to treat wild meat! ”

The old man who was cooking in the kitchen was suddenly furious, walked out of the hall with a spatula, stood at the door and shouted: "Lao Tzu has invited a nobleman, why do you want to be noisy?" Erlang only stayed for dinner when he saw the old decayed face, and waited for one or two to step forward and pry the corner of Lao Tzu's wall, but he couldn't find it? ”

The man outside the door suddenly sneered: "Look at what you said, Erlang is the benefactor of everyone in our village, not just your own benefactor, right?" The benefactor is here, we naturally want to be entertained, just your old arms and legs, what should you do if you treat the benefactor slowly? ”

The old man scolded: "Get out of here!" Little rabbit cub, when your mother gave birth to you, it was difficult to give birth, if it weren't for my old arms and legs walking a thirty-mile mountain road with a steady woman on his back, you rabbit cub would have been reincarnated a long time ago! Why didn't you dislike my old arms and legs at that time? ”

The man outside the door was speechless, so he could only say: "You always say that it was back then, and the hero doesn't mention the courage of the year...... Alas, alas, don't fight, don't fight, you're Muramasa, you have the final say, can't you? ”

Fang Jun sat in the hall, heard these words, hurriedly walked out of the door, and saw more than a dozen croppers and old and young generals crowded at the door, each carrying mountain delicacies and game, the old iron head angrily carried a spatula to knock a man's head, and hurriedly stopped, then hugged his fists and smiled: "You are gracious, I dare not be ashamed." I have nothing to do today, and I happened to meet the old iron head, so I came to his house to have a meal, and if I have leisure in the future, how about going to your house to disturb you? ”

"Then Erlang, you have to accept these things from us, they are not worth anything, but they are all rare things."

Fang Jun smiled and said: "I know that a certain person is greedy, how can you refuse such a delicacy?" Put it all here, let the old iron head take care of it, you go home quickly, you still have to work in the field after eating, don't delay the cultivation. ”

Only then did the villagers put down the things they were holding and left one after another.

There were a lot of things piled up at the door, and the old iron head scolded and scolded in his mouth, and was very unhappy with the villagers' behavior of "prying the corner", but he quickly moved everything into the house under his hands, and the little grandson was on the side.

After a while, a few neat women and fair-eyed girls from the neighborhoods came over, first greeted Fang Jun, and then went to the kitchen to drive the old iron head out and occupy the kitchen. Although the old iron head worked in a restaurant in the city when he was young, after all, he was old, how could he serve his benefactor?

A pot of tea was drunk until it tasted gone, and the meal was finally served on the table.

There are no delicacies, but they are authentic peasant meals full of aroma.

Fang Jun disliked the gloom in the hall and the flock of chickens and ducks in the yard, so he put the table under a big willow tree on the side of the road at the door, found a stone as a stool, and sat down to devour the meal.

A large pot of stewed wild pheasant, oily and watery roe deer meat, delicious and delicious mountain mushrooms, fried yellow chicken, home-brewed fruit wine, yellow corn, Fang Jun has a great appetite, gobbling up, where is the demeanor of half a child of the family?

Yu Ming's was much more elegant, eating slowly and methodically, drinking a cup with Lao Tietou from time to time, and snatching a chicken leg from under Fang Jun's chopsticks and stuffing it into the child's bowl.

The child said sweetly, "Thank you, grandpa", looked up at Fang Jun, and saw Fang Jun staring at the pheasant leg in his bowl, chewing the roe deer meat in his mouth and muttering, "What do you see?" If you don't eat it, I'll grab it for you", the frightened child quickly lowered his head, and bit off a large piece of chicken thigh meat with a "whoosh", and the corners of his mouth were oily......

Full of wine and food, Fang Jun and Yu Ming sat under the willow tree with a big tea bowl to eat, and the son of the old iron head was starving to death in the field but he didn't see his father deliver the food for a long time, so he couldn't stand it, so he sent his daughter-in-law back to see.

When the woman saw Fang Jun as a guest at her house, she was so frightened that she wanted to go to the field to call her man back, but Fang Jun stopped her. The old iron head put the leftovers in a basket and let her take them to the field to eat, and then left.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten this comfortably."

Fang Jun squinted, took a sip of tea, looked at the entire farmland and the green hills not far away, and said comfortably.

"The children of the family are very good-natured, even if they come out with one or two talents, they also have their own brocade clothes and jade food, and there are very few people who are as approachable as Erlang."

Yu Ming exclaimed.

Fang Jun pursed his lips, and said in his heart that his buddy was a peasant child in his last life, even if he became a child of a family in this life, it is okay not to get tired of eating and not getting tired of being fine, and to pursue the quality of life, but Zhong Mingding still can't learn that set......

"Erlang said before that he only cares about the construction process of the academy, and the old man thinks that it is a process of cultivating talents from all walks of life, so he agrees with it. But now that I think about it, I always feel a little superficial, and I can't really understand Erlang's intentions, I don't know if I can explain my doubts to the old man? ”

He felt that Fang Jun's intentions seemed to be more profound, but it was not something he could guess, it was like a fish in his throat.

Fang Jun thought for a while and asked, "What is the best reason in the world?" ”

This issue has already been discussed, Yu Mingshi frowned slightly, and did not understand Fang Jun's meaning: "The world is reasonable, that is, the way of balance." ”

There is heaven above, there is earth below, qi is divided into yin and yang, people are divided into men and women, there must be left and right, there must be good and evil, there must be good and evil, this is the way of balance, everything in the world, is the same.

If all things are out of balance, then heaven and earth will be overturned, and eternity will not exist.

"So do you always think that Confucianism is the way to be dominant?"

Yu Ming was stunned for a moment, the last time he talked about the way of balance, what he discussed was that once the academy was built, it would be a monopoly and become an existence that threatened the imperial power and the balance of the chaos. How did this suddenly turn to Confucianism?

However, according to the theory of balance, the situation of Confucian dominance is indeed a hidden danger.

Dong Zhongshu's dismissal of the hundred schools of thought and the exclusive respect for Confucianism did allow the Han Dynasty to quickly unify its thinking and achieve the hegemony of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. However, in the long run, Confucianism is dominant, and the other hundred schools of thought are all suppressed, and those who are invincible will lose the way of heaven. ”

"You don't think you're going to be the enemy of Confucianism as a whole, are you?"

Yu Ming's eyes were creepy, and he looked at Fang Jun like he was looking at a madman.

Fang Jun was speechless, looking at Yu Ming's eyes as if looking at a fool: "I would do such a great thing?" ”

Yu Ming thought for a moment and said, "It's very similar." ”

Fang Jun: "......"

Yu Mingshi pondered for a while, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Do you want to imperceptibly support an existence that can compete with Confucianism?" ”

Confucianism is the only one, and it is true that it has lost the way of heaven, which will inevitably lead to internal strife, decay, and even the regression and extremity of doctrines and theories.

Fang Jun really wanted to pry open the old man's skull and see what kind of deviant things were inside...... Competing with the whole of Confucianism, what is the difference between that and looking for death?

If nothing else, Fang Xuanling, who is a Confucian disciple and a person with vested interests, will be the first to kill him......
