Xu Caizheng was clearly arranged by Xu Shande, and now his face is black and scary, Xu Shande does not dare to be too presumptuous, the first sentence clarified his center: "What I said just now was only an article, and the poems and books and rituals are not as good as Yueyang Louji, and I didn't say that Confucius was not as good as Fan Zhongyan, why was my father angry?" ”

Xu Caizheng scolded: "Isn't this still the same meaning, Confucius is a saint, and the book he wrote is a classic in the world, how can it be as good as a Yueyang Lou Ji, isn't this the crime of deceiving the teacher and destroying the ancestors." Xu Shande said: "Confucius is also a scholar, and Fan Fuzi is also a scholar, how do you know that Fan Fuzi's knowledge is not as good as Confucius, and the articles he writes are not as good as Confucius." Xu Caizheng said: "Confucius is an ancient sage, and what we, including Fan Xianggong, have learned from the sage, how can it be exceeded?" ”

Xu Shande said: "Father's words are biased, is it true that the ancients in this world are always better than the descendants, haven't you heard of Xunzi's persuasion There is a saying that the blue is better than the blue?" If it is as my father said, today is not as good as the ancients, the Confucian sage is the time of the pre-Qin Dynasty in ancient times, it has been more than a thousand years ago, the father is not as good as the father, the son is not as good as the father, my Chinese state is not as good as the generation, sooner or later by the death of a foreign race. ”

Xu Caizheng never dreamed that Xu Shande, a child, would be able to say such a thing, which was justified and well-founded, and the quote was Xunzi's persuasion, he was speechless for a while, and he didn't know how to refute it, Xu Shande saw that Xu Caizheng didn't speak, so he made a final statement: "So, the teacher doesn't have to be inferior to the disciple, the disciple doesn't have to be inferior to the teacher, Fan Fuzi integrates the thousand-year-old inheritance, why can't he write an article better than poetry, books and etiquette?" Xu Shande paused, and said jokingly: "Look, you are not as good as me now." ”

Xu Caizheng is not an unreasonable person, Xu Shande's truth is not a fallacy, it is definitely reasonable, but Xu Shande suddenly compared Confucius, which made Xu Caizheng difficult to accept in his heart, Xu Caizheng relieved himself, and felt that he still had to be a good example for Xu Shande, and now the emperor can't punish the doctor, not to mention that what Xu Shande said is reasonable now.

So Xu Caizheng put down the ring ruler in his hand, and just said in his mouth: "Even if it is such a truth, but you should not insult the sage, what bullshit is not as good, is it that you are a scholar who said, spare you this time, don't be presumptuous in the future." Xu Shande saw that he had no flesh and skin suffering, and immediately smiled, and said: "Father, Confucius is also a human being, he also has to eat and, it is estimated that when he traveled around the world, he did not scold people, you still don't know the allusion of Confucius eating Lantern Festival." ”

Of course, Xu Caizheng didn't know what the allusion of Confucius eating Lantern Festival, but he also knew that it was not a good thing, and he was going to beat Xu Shande again when he picked up the ring ruler, Xu Shande hurriedly jumped off the stool and ran, Xu Caizheng snorted coldly and let Xu Shande escape.

Xu Shande thought that Xu Caizheng had something unpleasant, so he was depressed, but now under his own teasing, even if Xu Caizheng was depressed, he was almost angry with Xu Shande, but Xu Caizheng still sat on the Taishi chair, and had no intention of going out, Xu Shande looked at it, and he returned to the stool in front of Xu Caizheng and sat down, and asked: "What else is there to do with my father, why don't you go out to eat?" ”

Xu Caizheng couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard it, what else is the matter, you Xu Shande have read you a Yueyang Lou Ji since you came in, and then you ran around the house three times angrily, and you didn't say anything about it, did you think that you were bored in the study for a day to hold a Yueyang Lou Ji appreciation meeting for you.

Thinking of this, Xu Caizheng couldn't bring up the feeling of being angry with Xu Shande, and sighed: "Deshan, the Yueyang Lou record you memorized, his author Fan Zhongyan Fan Fuzi, died in Yingzhou half a month ago. Hearing the news, Xu Shande couldn't help but be silent, and after a while, Xu Shande said softly: "People are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than Hongmao, Fan Fuzi's life is also worth it." ”

Xu Shande's statement, even Xu Caizheng agreed, nodded, Xu Shande patted Xu Caizheng's thigh with his little hand in a decent way, and comforted: "Okay, the past has passed away, what's the use of being sad, my father is coming to eat, grandma heard that my father didn't eat at noon, so she specially ordered a rooster to be stewed, and now a chicken leg has been stolen by me, and there is one left, and my father is late, but it's gone." ”

Xu Shande walked as he spoke, but when he walked to the door, he turned around and saw that Xu Caizheng was still not moving, pouted, and walked back helplessly, sitting on Xu Caizheng and asking, "What else is there, let's talk about it together?" ”

Xu Caizheng saw Xu Shande's movements, and his heart was very complicated, whether he was the boss or I was the boss in this family, when did he use a little hairy child to inquire about himself, but Xu Shande's wisdom was extraordinary, Xu Caizheng had already understood, anyway, he was his son, there was nothing to be ashamed of, Xu Caizheng did not hide it, so he told Xu Shande that Ma Changqing came to send the sticker before, and the county commander Wang Quan wanted to worship Fan Zhongyan.

Xu Shande did not hesitate at all, and replied categorically: "Go, naturally I want to go, this kind of red and white wedding is the most fun." Xu Caizheng originally saw that Xu Shande was so resolute, and thought that Xu Shande had something to do, but in the end, Xu Shande said the word fun, and immediately called Xu Caizheng crying and laughing, Xu Caizheng pulled down his face and said: "Mourning the deceased, what's so fun, it's called mourning, but in fact it's just an excuse for collusion between officials and businessmen, if I go, wouldn't it ruin my reputation, don't I go." ”

Xu Shande said: "Father, it's wrong for you to think so, this world is originally made up of people, and I am studying to deal with people." Xu Caizheng said: "The people I associate with are all gentlemen, and they are not in the same league as these ordinary people." Xu Shande said: "Father, I know that you are Qinggao, but Qinggao also has to eat, and the county is in charge of your annual distribution, and if you offend others, you are not afraid that he will give you a shortage of catties and two catties, and it will be shoddy?" Xu Caizheng snorted coldly: "The gentleman doesn't bend his waist for five buckets of rice, not to mention that I used to be the supervisor of the Liupin country, even if I am idle now, but there are friends in the court, and I don't dare to do anything to forgive the county." ”

Xu Shande's eyes rolled, he changed his train of thought, and asked, "Father, even if you don't go, you have to think about your eldest brother." Xu Caizheng frowned and said, "How do you say this?" Xu Shande said: "You are now successful and retired, don't ask about the world, but the eldest brother is now an adult, you can't always hang around in this small village, good men are ambitious in all directions, if you don't want to go with them, it's better to call the eldest brother, one to let him have a long insight, and the other is not to refute the face of the county, do you think this is the truth?" ”
