Chapter 8 Exhortation

The person who reported that she was going to Jiangdu had a sweet and beautiful voice, and was a young and beautiful woman. This woman is none other than Lu Bushu's little daughter-in-law, a little daughter-in-law who has been married for a few months. It is conceivable that if the newly married husband is going to work in other places, she naturally wants to go with her.

"Nope." Dong Qiushu stroked his long beard again and immediately objected.

The highest prestige in the Dong family is not Dr. Dong, and Dr. Dong can only rank second. Although Dr. Dong is in second place, he does not speak easily, and his opening is still very weighty, and ordinary people dare not object.

Everyone believes that this time Lu Xiao's daughter-in-law will not dare to speak again.

However, everyone was wrong, and as soon as Dr. Dong's words fell, Lu Xiao's daughter-in-law spoke, and she used Dr. Dong's theory as a basis: "Teacher, your thinking is 'three outlines and five constants', and one of them is 'husband is a wife'. As Bu Shu's wife, I have to take my husband as the main one, and my husband is my backbone and my heaven, so there is no doubt that I will follow him, and I will follow him wherever he goes. ”

Where is this little daughter-in-law willing to let her husband leave her, go so far away from Jiangdu Kingdom, and leave her here in Chang'an?

The little daughter-in-law's words sound quite reasonable, but with the theory of his Confucian master Dong Zhongshu, no one in the Dong family has been able to find a reason to refute it for a while.

This tone is a bit sad, as if Dr. Dong didn't let her follow Lu Bushu to Jiangdu Kingdom, without any human touch.

Dr. Dong heard the thoughts of Lu's little daughter-in-law and felt that it was a little difficult to deal with. At this time, Dr. Dong couldn't pull his head, and said something more.

However, Dr. Dong has thought about it in his heart, if he really wants to go to Jiangdu Kingdom, how can he carry out his work without bringing a capable assistant? More importantly, Dr. Dong didn't want to give up this good opportunity, so he let Lu Bushu go to the grassroots level to exercise and lay the foundation for his future career!

If Dong Zhongshu wants to erect his own neo-Confucian theory, he must train outstanding students to inherit and practice his theory, and the theory without successors cannot be developed.

In life, there are many times when career can clash with emotions. At this time, the careers of Dong Zhongshu and his student Lu Bushu clashed with the emotions of this little daughter-in-law. This pregnant little daughter-in-law wants to follow her husband to his new place of work, so it's strange that it doesn't affect his work!

Dong Zhongshu had something to say, but he couldn't say it, so he had to kick the ball to his student Lu Bushu: "Bushu, what your little daughter-in-law said is not unreasonable, what can you do?" ”

At this time, Lu Bushu, like the teacher, was also thinking about whether his daughter-in-law should follow him.

This teacher is more than fifty years old, the emperor gave him a chance to develop, as a student, he can't say it if he doesn't help the teacher. Not only to help the teacher, but also to help yourself. If you can become a big official, you can better develop the teacher's neo-Confucianism.

Manly, why did he give up his big career for the little daughter-in-law's little affection? Besides, the little daughter-in-law has the care of her mother-in-law and her mother-in-law here, isn't it better than following the two masters?

Lu Bushu knew what the teacher meant, so he explained to his daughter-in-law: "Daughter-in-law, my teacher's 'husband is the wife', it doesn't mean that the wife should follow the husband to call the husband the wife, the 'husband is the wife' is the husband's words and deeds are the benchmark of the wife, the wife should take the husband as an example, follow the husband, and more importantly, you should listen to the husband." My teacher and I went to a new place, and the teacher went to be the minister of state, and he had to do things for the people, and he had a lot to do. Especially in Jiangduguo, the king Liu Fei is arrogant and domineering, the prince Liu Jian is heinous, and the teacher wants to correct them, I don't know how much pressure there is. You go with me as a pregnant little daughter-in-law, where will I have time to take care of you......"

"Stop. According to your Lu Bushu's meaning, your teacher didn't mean to let me go to Jiangdu, didn't he? "My wife has an opinion, it seems that my wife also wants to go to Jiangdu.

The master and wife spoke, and Lu Bushu quickly stopped and stopped talking. He looked at the master and saw how the master dealt with his wife.

The master asked if it was, and then turned her eyes to Dong Zhongshu to see how he reacted. Dong Zhongshu also looked at Mrs. Dong, and the two looked at each other and didn't speak for a while.

Mrs. Dong and Dong Zhongshu looked at each other for a while, and Mrs. Dong asked again: "Let me ask you, do you mean that you don't want us to go with you?" ”

Dong Zhongshu is stupid, how could his wife ask such a question? She is not a brainless person, nor is she a young man who still thinks of me and my husband Junqingqing, why is her brain hot and she comes to join in the fun!

Fighting with his wife, Dong Zhongshu adopted the tactics of avoiding her edge, and then slowly exhausted her energy, and then let her surrender by herself.

Dong Zhong said calmly: "Go, go together." There were five people in a carriage, and our family wanted four. The family has a car, but the horse is too old to work, so we have to buy three carriages and four young and powerful horses, so that we can pull our family to Jiangdu. Ah Zhu, how much money do you have at home, can you buy all this means of transportation? ”

Ah Zhu and Dong Zhongshu have cooperated for many years, and they have dealt with Mrs. Dong one after another, and they have made Mrs. Dong scratch the edge. As soon as Master Dong's words came out, Ah Zhu knew what he meant, and he immediately replied to Dong Zhongshu's words: "Master, in addition to ensuring living expenses, the silver taels that the family can take out can only buy a horse and a car. ”

Dong Zhongshu didn't ask why his family had such a little money, but only asked: "No money?" Madam, do you want to think of a way to borrow it from your relatives and friends to see if you can borrow the money to buy all the vehicles? ”

Mrs. Dong is a face-saving person, and she asked her to borrow money from relatives and friends, and she would not go if she was killed. But it's not good to ask other people to go out and borrow money, after all, this family is still in charge of her.

Mrs. Dong had no choice but to retreat: "Forget it, husband, you should go first." When the state minister has a high salary, and then you have money, and you have a stable job over there, come and pick us up again. ”

Dong Zhongshu said cool words again: "Go, the place in Jiangdu is good, the scenery is picturesque, there are beautiful ancient canals, there are slender West Lake, and the best silk of the Han Dynasty, as well as the best Guangling lion head in the world, if you don't go, don't regret it." ”

Mrs. Dong is not afraid of her husband's sarcasm, nor is she afraid of what the younger generation's eyes will look at her, she can say whatever she thinks: "I definitely want to go, but not now." Little daughter-in-law Lu, let's wait for your husband to make money, you invite me to go, okay. ”

"Okay." Little daughter-in-law Lu responded weakly, and at the same time muttered: "Uncle, I'm afraid that my uncle and Bu Shu are so handsome and knowledgeable, I listen to the water in Jiangdu, and the girls raised are not so spiritual, and when the time comes, we will be seduced by those girls who are spiritual, what should we do?" ”

In fact, my wife wanted to go to Jiangdu, not to see the scenery, not to eat delicious food, but like Lu Xiao's daughter-in-law, she was afraid that her husband would be abducted by other women.

More than 20 years ago, when Jiangdu was still in the state of Wu, Liu Bi, the king of Wu, was good at recruiting heroes and heroes in the world, and once recruited the young Dong Zhongshu to give lectures, and the king of Wu sent a beauty to Dong Zhongshu, I don't know where this beauty is now? If she is still in Jiangdu Kingdom, will Dong Zhongshu go......

This time, Lu Xiao's daughter-in-law asked what to do, and Mrs. Dong didn't know what to do.

The audience was silent for a while.

Ah Zhu, who was on the side, raised his hand and said, "Report to the master, I also want to go to Jiangdu with you." ”

In the past, Ah Zhu did not participate in the family meeting, but this time Ah Zhu was on the side, listening carefully to everyone's speeches, and dared to say what was in his heart. He has been following Dong Zhongshu for a long time, and he knows that he is a good person, so he is reluctant to leave him.

Azhu was rescued by Dong Zhongshu on the road. At that time, Ah Zhu and the storyteller master fell into the snow in the valley, the master was old and exhausted, he still had a breath when he was young, and he was pulled back by Dong Zhongshu who was passing by, slept with him for a day and a night, and pulled him back from the line of death. Ah Zhu, who was rescued, had no master and no whereabouts, so he stayed at Dong's house and didn't leave, and he worked for Dong Zhongshu for more than ten years.

What Dong Zhongshu wanted to say just now was to ask Azhu if he wanted to go to Jiangdu with him. didn't expect him to say it himself, it seems that he really can't do without Dong Zhongshu.

He Azhu has been with him for more than ten years, how can he be separated from him Dong Zhongshu? He Dong Zhongshu can't live without Azhu by his side, without Azhu, Dong Zhongshu is really not used to it: "How can I be without you by my side?" Of course. ”

At this time, Azhu walked up to Mrs. Dong, slapped her chest a few times, and said, "Madam, with my Azhu by my master's side, you can rest assured." I will take good care of him in life; In other respects, I will supervise Madame according to his thoughts. If they have any other ideas, I will fly the pigeon and report the situation to you at once. ”

Mrs. Dong was so happy and excited when she heard this, that she was almost moved to tears. She said emotionally: "Ah Zhu, I didn't hurt you in vain." Supervise him for me. When you come back from Jiangdu, I will find a particularly beautiful daughter-in-law for you. ”

Little daughter-in-law Lu was also moved, and said excitedly: "Ah Zhu, Bu Shu will please leave it to you, you must be optimistic about the fox spirit around him, when you come back from Jiangdu, my aunt will help you do a happy event, I will give you a big gift." ”

Azhu was also moved, but she said: "This is what I should do, you don't want to send anything." If Dr. Dong and Lu Bushu were abducted by a vixen, it would be the biggest loss to our family, and it would also damage the image of my Confucianism. Let your heart be a hundred and supervise them, it is my duty to supervise them! ”

Ah Zhu said eloquently, sonorously and powerfully, he seemed to have become a savior, this family has him, this Confucianism has him, there is no need to be afraid of anything.
