Chapter 739: Confucius talks about Lao Tzu for the first time

All in all, it didn't work.

But! The general meaning came out that Confucius was to send Confucius to the field to be a petty official, and try it out first. If you do a good job during the probationary period, you can be promoted and reused.

It's not fake, it's not formalism. It's true! Just to build momentum with this.

What is hype? It is to create momentum, showing that Lu Guo attaches great importance to the use of talents and uses talents prudently. Use is to use you! But! It must be examined and tested.

At noon, at Ji Pingzi's house, Sanhuan was present.

After lunch, Ji Pingzi and the others found a reason to leave.

When Confucius saw that no one was talking and that there was nothing to do, Confucius took his leave and went home.

On such occasions, he is going to drink. But! He doesn't drink that much. So! Not drunk at all.

Nangong Jing Shu and Fang Zhong were also fortunate to be present as foils. Now the two of them are important figures in their respective families.

Fang Zhong, as Ji Pingzi's quasi-grandson-in-law, called him out to eat with everyone, which is equivalent to Ji Pingzi's attitude to the outside world This quasi-grandson-in-law, I want to reuse it.

Don't know what's going on? Since meeting Lao Tzu, Confucius and Nangong Jing Shu and Fang Zhong are no longer so close.

Before that! Confucius liked these two very much. Especially Fang Zhong, he likes it even more.

It's not that Confucius has a psychological disorder, and he is not so close to the two. And Nangong Jing Uncle and Fang Zhong, since listening to Lao Tzu's preaching, seem to have changed as if they are different people, and they no longer like to talk and be diligent. Even! Very lazy and rude.

Anyway! It was as if there was a layer between the two sides.

When Confucius returned home, it was only half an afternoon, and classes were being held in the school. He came back in the carriage of the Ji Mansion, so he came in through the main gate without any sound. But! It still attracted the attention of many people.

"My dad is back!" Kong Li, inadvertently, found that his father was walking briskly towards the house with his head down.

"Your father?" Yan Lu responded and looked outside. Really! I saw Confucius walking quickly with his head bowed. I couldn't help but say, "Mr. is back." ”

In other classrooms, people also saw it.

Le Ge learned that Confucius had returned, and he was busy with the matter at hand.

He wanted to see how Confucius would behave when he came back. He still went back to his room to sleep? Thinking about life? Still is? Sit in the living room as before, read, write, and think about problems.

"Hehehe! Sir is back! "Zilu heard that Confucius had returned, and he was also going to go over to have a look and talk to Mr. Outcome! On the way, I met Lege. So! He greeted Lege.

"Let's go! Check it out! Lege stretched out his hand and gestured.

"Sir won't still sleep, will he?" Zilu asked suspiciously.

"Probably not! Hehehe! Lege laughed.

When they came here, they hadn't entered the house yet, and Zilu and Le Ge were both a little suspicious that Confucius had gone back to sleep in the room?

How? Quietly in the living room?

"Brother-in-law is back, are you coming in?" That's it! Wei'er inside beckoned to the two of them.

At this time, Wei'er was making tea for Confucius. Seeing the suspicious looks on the faces of the two, they hurriedly greeted.

Qi Guan was busy in the kitchen and didn't take care of Confucius.

The wolf sister was also busy in the kitchen and didn't have time to come out to take care of it.

Wei'er was born as a maid, and she is used to observing words and feelings, and she is used to serving people. So! She doesn't need to be told, she knows how to do it.

To the surprise of Le Ge and Zilu, Confucius did not go back to the room to sleep, but sat in the seat in the living room and sorted out the desk.

Looking at him like that, he seemed very satisfied.

Although he didn't come back for more than two months, there was not a single trace of dust on the desk. Even his beloved bamboo slips don't have a trace of dust on them. The pen and ink are also clean and orderly, as if someone has used it.

No one dared to sit in his seat when he was away. Including Lege, they didn't dare to sit in his seat. Everyone knew his temper and didn't want to provoke him.

"Sit! Sit! Have a seat! Confucius glanced at Le Ge and Zi Lu, and said as he continued to be busy.

Although the desk was very clean, and the bamboo slips were also very clean, he still looked uneasy, and moved the bamboo slips and so on aside to check if there was any dust underneath. Outcome! The same is clean underneath.

Seeing that it was really clean, he was really relieved.

Wei'er saw that Le Ge and Zilu were coming, and hurried to make tea for the two.

"Wei'er has to scrub twice a day! You're still not at ease? Qi Guan came out of the kitchen, saw Confucius's uneasy look, and said angrily.

"Thank you!" Confucius looked at Wei'er embarrassedly and nodded.

"Thanks for what? I'm used to it! Wei'er smiled.

"How? Mr? Zilu couldn't hold it back anymore, looked at Confucius, and asked.

"How's that?" Confucius looked at Zilu and asked rhetorically.

"This?" Zilu hurriedly changed his words and said, "Gong Lu and Doctor Ji called Mr. to go, there must be something, right?" ”

Confucius nodded and said, "Listening to their tone, it seems that they want me to be a petty official somewhere, try me out!" ”

"Trial?" Zilu asked puzzled.

"Try!"

"Sir, great talent! Do I still need a trial? ”

"I, Kongqiu, just know how to be polite, and I don't have any great talent! Isn't it? I went to Luoyi, met Lao Tzu, and got Lao Tzu's guidance, didn't I? They want to test my talent for statecraft! So! They plan to arrange for me to be a local magistrate first. ”

"Oh?" Zilu answered.

"You didn't stay in Luoyi for a few days, did you? What's wrong? Lao Tzu busy? Not in the storage room? Le Ge only asked at this time.

"See!" Confucius looked at the music and said with a sigh of relief.

"Oh?"

"He's busy! He is a dragon, but he can't see the end! Confucius sighed.

"Oh?"

"He wasn't really in the palace when I went. I went straight to the Zhou Zang Room and read a book in it. OK! He's back! Before! I don't even know! When will he come back? Come back or not? I? Where do I have time to wait there? Isn't it? He's back? ”

"Oh!" Lege deliberately stopped asking questions and listened to Confucius.

"There are so many books in the Zhou Library! I'm convinced! I've never seen that many books in my life! It's full of books! Row by row! Shelf by shelf! Heard! When the Western Zhou Dynasty moved its capital to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, only one-third and less than half of the books were brought over. Half is that! Before that, how big was the Zhou Library? ”

"Half? And what about the other half? Zilu asked.

"I don't know! Heard! It seems to be hiding somewhere in the Qin State! It seems like? It may have gone to the people. Confucius said.

"Ahh What a pity! Zilu sighed.

"That is to say! Have you seen Lao Tzu? Le Ge asked.

"See! More than just seeing it! Confucius looked at the music song with great emotion and replied.

Thinking of the incident with Lao Tzu, he was full of emotion. Or rather! Unforgettable!
