The guests were basically there, and the people were almost introduced, and Su Tong began to introduce the two talents who came to everyone.

Both of them belong to promising young people, less than 20 years old to be admitted to Xiucai, although not yet a member of the diet, one has just passed the annual examination to add students to the county school, and the other is a student attached to the county school, but the two have passed the selection of the scientific examination at the same time, and can participate in the next township examination.

Su Tong invited these two talents to come over in order to let them teach their students about their exam-taking experience.

For example, there is no need to talk about some exams, the two of them mainly talk about which books to review, which articles to read, and especially which Cheng Wen is most beneficial.

At the beginning of the meeting, only these two people spoke, and no one else spoke, and some nerds had already hurriedly studied the ink, picked up a brush and started taking notes, apparently taking the words of these two talents as a golden rule.

But the problem is that the college exam is not fundamentally different from the county exam and the government exam in terms of exam content, and what needs to be reviewed is only the Four Books and Five Classics.

Shen Xi listened for a while, very bored, but Wu Xingyu next to him listened with a smile and interest.

After the two of them finished introducing their experience, Wu Xingyu couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and said softly: "If you really have the ability, why did you do nothing in last year's township test?" ”

Shen Xi was slightly stunned.

It seems that this Wu Xingyu has a lot of ambitions, and it is already something to boast about before he was twenty years old.

In these years, it is very difficult to be promoted before the age of 20. But listening to Wu Xingyu's tone, he can successfully pass the student examination in the next year, and he can be lifted immediately the following year, and he can become a public at the age of sixteen.

After the introduction of the advanced experience of the seniors, the necessary items of the cultural club were followed, and they sat down to discuss.

But because of the presence of these two "senior" brothers, all the children present were a little unable to let go. No one dared to come out and make this head.

Su Tong was about to speak, but it was Wu Xingyu who spoke first: "I think that a gentleman is a man with morality, what do you think?" ”

Some of the people present were already snickering. Such a simple truth, do you still need to discuss? If a gentleman doesn't use morality to establish the world, can he take a mallet?

Su Tong said with a smile: "What Wu Gongzi said is extremely true. ”

Wu Xingyu smiled, it was rare for someone to pick up the stubble, so he went on and said: "I heard it again." A gentleman should be courteous, this man and woman are not kissed, what do you think? ”

Wu Xingyu's words changed a little quickly, just now he was still talking about the moral character of a gentleman, and now when he talks about etiquette, he also mentions that "men and women do not kiss", which must have the following. Even the two Xiucai looked at Wu Xingyu curiously, speculating what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Wu Xingyu continued: "What if a woman falls into the water and a gentleman stands on the shore? ”

Now everyone finally knows what the argument is.

Saw the woman fall into the water. The question of whether a gentleman should be saved or not.

This is a profound question.

In fact, this problem has been discussed in "Mencius", and even Mencius, a generation of sages, has made a special discussion on the question of whether the sister-in-law is drowning and the brother-in-law should be saved.

"Sister-in-law, then help with your hands? Sister-in-law is not helping, it is a jackal. Men and women do not kiss, and etiquette is also; Sister-in-law, the one who helps her, the right also. These are the exact words of Mencius. It means that after your sister-in-law falls into the water, if you don't save it, you will be a jackal, although there is a truth in it that men and women do not kiss. You can help because you are in a hurry.

But since the prevalence of Cheng Zhu Lixue, women's chastity is greater than everything, and there are different views on this proposition, especially after the middle of the Ming Dynasty, what some thinkers insist on is that even if your sister-in-law falls into the water. can't be saved, this is the real gentleman who keeps the courtesy.

Mencius said it easily, but the sage did not discuss the moral issues after saving people, you are saving people, people are alive, the key is how to be a woman's name? If it's your mother, your daughter-in-law, or your daughter, it's easy to say anything, but the problem is that people who are not directly related to you, as long as you have physical contact with her, then what will happen to you in the future?

This is like the question of who should be saved first when the old lady and daughter-in-law fall into the water at the same time, this question itself is a false proposition, but in these years, in order to demonstrate the etiquette law, these issues must be discussed in a grand manner, and conclusions are given from many aspects of great virtue and subsections, so as to prevent similar things from the people, and the government cannot judge.

For example, save the daughter-in-law or the old lady first, the official tone is that you must save the mother first, this is filial piety, it is a big festival, even the daughter-in-law must understand that filial piety is the first, if the son saves the daughter-in-law first, he will be criticized by morality, and even will be removed from his reputation and sent to prison for questioning.

Now Wu Xingyu's question is even more extreme, a woman you don't know has fallen into the water, what should you do as a gentleman?

Although there is basically a ready-made answer to this question, none of the people present have spoken up, neither is it to be saved, it is not to be saved, it is not a gentleman to see death and not to save it, but if you save it, it will be against social morality.

Isn't that adding to your own blockage......

Wu Xingyu had a smile on his face, if he took the general proposition, it would not be interesting to him. It is this very special question that will have extraordinary repercussions, and it is easy to argue some unique truths.

Everyone was silent, Wu Xingyu looked at Su Daodao: "What does Su Gongzi think?" ”

Su Tong's face was slightly embarrassed, and he secretly scolded Wu Xingyu for having a problem, now he has a literary meeting with Heqi, let's exchange knowledge, you want to come up with such a tangled proposition, isn't this sincere and difficult?

Su Tong hesitated: "I thought that it would be better not to save it." ”

"Oh?" Wu Xingyu was slightly surprised, "Could it be that Su Gongzi didn't save him when he saw death?" ”

A scholar surnamed Han next to him said coldly: "It's not that you can't save you when you die, but you can't lose a big festival because of a small section." ”

Wu Xingyu also sneered slightly: "In your Excellency's heart, what is a small section and what is a major section?" Is human life under the virtue of a gentleman? ”

The scholar surnamed Han said angrily: "The sage said, you should sacrifice your life and take righteousness, is it not that the character of a gentleman is not above human life?" ”

There are not a few people present who support scholars surnamed Han, mainly because this is the tone set by the imperial court for the people. What should I do if I see my sister-in-law falling into the water? I'm going to find my brother first, my brother isn't looking for my nephew. The nephew is not there either? It is estimated that when you run back, your sister-in-law will also drown, and you have nothing to do, so you can wait for the funeral.

Now I saw a strange woman falling into the water, and the reason is the same, go to her relatives first. If you can't find it, then find a bamboo pole to help try, and if the bamboo pole can't reach it, you can still watch the woman drown on the shore. Otherwise, even if you rescue someone, their families will not be grateful to you, and they will even take you to the official, or be immersed in a pig cage by the villagers.

Why don't others save it, but you save it? Isn't this a personal affair?

Wu Xingyu did not answer the words of the scholar surnamed Han. turned around and asked Shen Xi: "What does Shen Gongzi think?" ”

Everyone suddenly quieted down, and they all wanted to hear Shen Xi's "high theory".

Shen Xi is now among the scholars of Tingzhou Mansion, has become the target of public criticism, his words and deeds may be used as an excuse to attack, according to the current situation, Shen Xi should not say anything, but even if he doesn't say anything, others will use this to attack him and question his character.

Shen Xi felt sick in his heart when he saw the seemingly absent smile on Wu Xingyu's face. He thought to himself, "This kid won't be sincere enough to set up a trap for me to drill, right?" Regardless of whether I say save or not, as long as it goes against the intention of this examiner, it will become a 'stain' on my character, which is enough for the examiner to brush me down and not give me a chance to go to school. ”

Shen Xi's face remained unchanged, and he smiled slightly: "Wu Gongzi seems to be too worried, he can't swim in the water, and he will definitely drown after entering the water, so I'd rather go find someone to save me." ”

"Hahaha......"

An academic issue that was originally very serious was turned into a joke by Shen Xi, and someone next to him couldn't help but laugh.

Wu Xingyu's face froze slightly. Only then did he say: "What I am asking below is what the gentleman did, and it is a discourse, not a real practice for Shen Gongzi." ”

Shen Xi had already determined that Wu Xingyu was calculating him. Shen Xi thought to himself: "Sure enough, people can't look good, they are young. has such a peaceful appearance, but has such a bad heart. ”

Shen Xi said: "What does Wu Gongzi think? ”

Wu Xingyu seemed to have expected Shen Xi to ask such a question, but he smiled indifferently and said, "I want to hear what Shen Gongzi means first." ”

"Oh."

Shen Xi nodded, and said thoughtfully, "I don't know that this woman who fell into the water is below." Is there a match? ”

Shen Xi's question not only stunned Wu Xingyu, but also puzzled others. Even Su Tong couldn't help but ask curiously, "Shen Gongzi, what's the difference?" ”

Shen Xi Zhengse said: "The difference is very big. If it is still in the boudoir, how can the girl's family go out easily and fall into the water? This doesn't make sense. Even if you really encounter this kind of thing, you should first ask the girl what she means, hey, do you want me to save it, if the girl says, yes, yes. Then I saved it, there should be no problem, if she feels that her reputation is damaged, it's a big deal that I will admit her to get started. ”

Shen Xi's words were vivid, and the people present looked at each other, and even the scholar surnamed Han, who opposed the rescue just now, couldn't help but nodded, as if he felt that Shen Xi's words made a lot of sense.

"What about the married woman?"

Wu Xingyu found that Shen Xi was a little difficult to deal with, and his tone became sharp.

Shen Xi said: "Then I have to ask her family first if she wants to save her." If even her family thinks that a woman's honor is more important than her life, why should I be strong? But if her family is anxious and begs me for help, I may help. ”

Shen Xi's words are either premised and assumed, or they add particles like "maybe", which is clearly to say that when you encounter a specific problem, I will do it according to the situation, and you don't want to get a definite answer from my mouth.

When Wu Xingyu heard this, he couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing: "Gao Theory." But in a hurry, on the bank of the river, there is only you, the woman fell into the water, fainted, and could not return to you, you have no way of knowing whether she is married or not, what should you do? ”

"Oh. I see. Shen Xi nodded as if he didn't understand, "What's the difference between a young woman who doesn't know whether to marry or not?" ”
