The next morning, Han Shantong said goodbye to Liu Futong and went to Zhaozhou alone.

Liu Futong carefully selected several capable teachers for Liu Yueer, and repeatedly told her to pay attention to safety before saying goodbye to her daughter.

Han Lin'er said: "Sister Yue'er, we are going in one direction, let's go together, and we will take care of each other if there is anything." ”

Liu Yue'er smiled and said: "Brother Lin'er's kindness Yue'er understands, but there are more than a dozen disciples we bring in total, if we get together and hurry, it will inevitably attract attention, so it is better to act separately and act safely." ”

Han Lin'er knew that Liu Yue'er was reasonable, and it was inconvenient to say more, so she had to say goodbye to Liu Yue'er, looking at Liu Yue'er's gradually disappearing shadow, and secretly wished in her heart that she must do something big and let Liu Yue'er fall in love with herself.

Liu Yueer brought a total of six people, five men and one woman.

The woman-like woman has been taking care of Liu Yueer's daily life, and Liu Futong was afraid that Liu Yue'er would not feel comfortable living outside, so he sent her to go with her.

Four of the five men are fanatical and loyal people in the church, and they are articulate, and they were arranged by Liu Futong to lurk in the local area to preach the doctrine, and the remaining man is named Li Xixi, who is extremely strong and strong in martial arts, and is Liu Futong's confidant, specially sent to protect Liu Yue'er's safety.

The group rushed to Pingjiang Road day and night.

…………

Meng Caiweng explained the customs, folklore and celebrity anecdotes of various places to Yao Tianxi and Gao Qi in the past few days, and the two benefited a lot.

Meng Caiweng said: "This time I brought the two of you to Fucheng to travel, so that you can increase your knowledge is only one of them, and more importantly, I have an old brother and I have settled here after that, he has written more than 100,000 words of the "Analects" when the two of you are so old, and what you have learned is also extremely rich, and this trip is to take you to visit." ”

When the two heard this, they readily agreed.

In the middle of the night, the three of them found a residence, Meng Caiweng knocked on the door to visit, the door opened, and a young man about twenty years old was surprised: "Dare to ask Your Excellency, is it Mr. Meng of Cheung Chau?" ”

Meng Caiweng said: "Not bad. ”

The young man said: "Mr. Meng, please come in quickly, Yang Ji has been waiting at home for a long time." ”

When everyone entered the house and sat down, the young man who called himself Yang Ji took the lead and said: "After receiving the letter sent by my grandfather yesterday, I am full of joy and look forward to your arrival as soon as possible. ”

Meng Caiweng sighed and said: "I'm ashamed to say that since your grandfather moved to Wuzhong, I have been visiting in the future, a few days ago I met with Brother Gao in the temple, and from his mouth I knew that Brother Yang has passed away for more than ten years. ”

Yang Ji said: "Sir, don't be sad, every time my grandfather mentions you to me, he will appreciate your knowledge, and you hate the people of the Yuan Room, and would rather live in seclusion and teach the people than contribute to the Yuan Room. ”

Meng Caiweng looked sad and said slowly: "In the early years, I was proud of my integrity, I no longer contacted many friends, and lived in seclusion in Cheung Chau alone. ”

Yao Tianxi had never heard Meng Caiweng talk about his past life experience, and at this time, combined with the last contact with Gao Hong, he had already guessed a rough idea, and he was secretly glad that he was able to worship the famous teacher.

Yang Ji saw that Meng Caiweng was sad, so he changed the topic, looked at Gao Qi and Yao Tianxi, and said, "Grandfather Gao's letter mentions that his grandson and Mr. He's beloved apprentices must be the two. ”

The two of them saluted in turn and introduced themselves.

Meng Caiweng said: "Your talented brother mentioned it to me, but I heard that your brother said that you are fond of miscellaneous, and you are even more distracted by songs, novels, etc., which makes Brother Gao and me more worried." ”

Yang Ji scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "Grandfather Meng's lesson is that you don't have to worry, since the last time my grandfather criticized me strictly, I have concentrated on my studies and dare not slack off." ”

Meng Caiweng said with a smile: "It is also a good thing for young people to have a wide range of hobbies, and only by having more experience can they learn from the strengths of others and know the importance of the book." It is very rare that you can correct it by listening to the criticism of your elders. ”

Yang Ji immediately said: "Grandfather Meng, when you come here at this moment, let's stay in the humble house for a few more days, I just want to ask for more advice." ”

Meng Caiweng replied: "I have to go back to my hometown to teach after the holiday, and I have to go back tomorrow." However, this time, my intention with my senior brother is mainly to let the three of you have more interactions. After I am gone, I will leave the two of them here, and the three of you will study together for a while, and it will be very beneficial for the three of you to study together what you have learned in your daily life. ”

Yang Ji said gratefully: "Sir, don't worry, I will definitely live up to Mr. expectations." ”

Yao Tianxi and Gao Qi didn't know that Meng Caiweng and Gao Hong had made this decision, and they looked at each other at this moment, their faces full of doubts.

Yang Ji saw the expressions of the two and said with a smile: "I have already sent someone to clean the guest room, are you afraid that I will not be well entertained?" ”

The two of them hurriedly said they didn't dare.

Then everyone ate together, and they gradually became familiar with each other in the chat.

Yang Ji word Meng Zai, ancestral home in Jiazhou, because of his grandfather out of Jiangzuo, the whole family moved here, but unfortunately Yang Ji's grandfather passed away more than ten years ago.

Yang Ji's grandfather was a classmate of Gao Hong and Meng Caiweng, and after Meng Caiweng and Gao Hong talked about their old friends, the two made up their minds to let the three juniors of the same age learn from each other and get closer to each other.

During the chat, Yao Tianxi sighed: "When I first met Ji Di, I thought he was a genius in Tianzhong, and now that I have met Brother Meng Zai, I have met another genius." ”

Everyone laughed, and Yang Ji said: "You are not extremely talented, otherwise Mr. Meng has taught countless disciples, how can you be the only one who can make him so attentive, I still need to slowly understand your extraordinary." ”

Yao Tianxi said softly: "I came from a humble background, only because I was the youngest son in the family that I was loved by my parents, for me to go to the township to study, and I was fortunate to be favored by my teacher to teach me to read and write. ”

Yang Ji is also a person with a bold temperament, waved his hand and said: "These are the skills, when you stay, we will learn from each other, and I will explain to you what you don't understand." ”

Gao Qi also said: "It is indeed not difficult to write poems and paintings, with your intelligence, you can learn it in less than a month." ”

Yao Tianxi was overjoyed when he heard this, and secretly regarded the two as brothers in his heart.

After resting after dinner, Yao Tianxi went to Meng Caiweng's house to ask for a meeting.

Meng Caiweng's voice came from inside the house, "Come in." ”

Yao Tianxi entered the house and bowed his head and said: "Mr. has really good intentions for his disciple this time, but the disciple has been traveling for a long time this time, and he can't rush home for the festival if he stays here, I'm afraid that the family will not agree." ”

Meng Caiweng said: "Don't worry, your father is a sensible person, I will persuade your father when I go back, you don't need to worry about food and housing, the Yang family and the Gao family are both rich families, not bad for your mouthful of food, I have already explained to the senior brother, you just need to study with the two of them with your heart, and go back in two months." ”

Yao Tianxi said gratefully: "Mr. is really like a grandson to me, Tianxi doesn't know how to repay him." ”

Meng Caiweng said: "I am over sixty years old, how to repay, I have already said, if you become a talent in the future, don't forget me, an old man." ”

Yao Tianxi nodded heavily.

Meng Caiweng said to Yao Tianxi: "The three of you are all extraordinary, and each has its own extraordinary. Gao Qi reads and never forgets, is proficient in history, and is the most talented in poetry, but after all, he works behind closed doors, and he needs to increase his experience and travel constantly in order to become a talent. Yang Kee has the highest understanding, but he has a wide range of knowledge, and if he can specialize in one discipline, he will become a generation. ”

After a pause, he said: "Although your learning and seeing are slightly worse than those of the two due to your family background, your thinking is never limited by the framework in the book, and you have your own objective judgment on everything, which is the most surprising and most important talent for the teacher." You must let go of the psychology of inferiority complex due to your life experience, and have more contact with talented teenagers like Yang Ji and Gao Qi to hone your heart. What you learn as a teacher is not exquisite enough to teach you too much, but there is a truth, you must remember it after teaching you for a teacher. ”

Yao Tianxi said seriously: "Sir, please say, Tianxi must be in mind." ”

Meng Caiweng closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and said slowly: "But everyone in the past generations can't let go of the difference between sects and the views of the portal. In the early years of the teacher, he had an encounter and knew that the truth and knowledge of the world are not of the same origin, just because the people he learned were different in identity and different positions, and he was contended by a hundred schools. If you have the opportunity in the future, you must humbly seek advice from the famous masters of various sects. When the great Confucians, eminent monks, and reclusive immortals in the world have to seek, learn, listen, and ask. ”

Yao Tianxi has always seen Meng Caiweng regard himself as a Confucian scholar, but at this moment he taught him to win the strengths of all families and give up factional prejudices, and he was greatly surprised.

Meng Caiweng said abruptly: "The deep meaning of it, I haven't thought about it for decades for the teacher, and I don't know it clearly, it's a master's opinion, you just need to remember it." ”

Yao Tianxi nodded and said, "Tianxi remembers." ”

The next day, Meng Caiweng was ready to return, and after saying goodbye to everyone, Yao Tianxi sent Meng Caiweng out of the city.

Meng Caiweng said: "What I said to you yesterday, can you remember?" ”

Yao Tianxi replied: "The words of the teacher, Tianxi will not dare to forget when he dies. ”

Meng Caiweng was pleased: "My son's talent is poor, don't say it, I teach at most six or seven percent, fortunately in my later years, I accepted you, a talented and obedient student, I am very satisfied." ”

Yao Tianxi said: "Tianxi is ashamed. ”

Meng Caiweng said: "I regard you as my grandson, so I deliberately guided you to set up lofty ambitions and teach you more truths to use in the future." You always have some inferiority complex that can't be erased, and I can't rest assured. ”

Yao Tianxi has always listened to Meng Caiweng in a hurry to teach him all kinds of truths in the past two days, and suddenly had an ominous premonition, and said urgently: "Mr. must pay attention to his body when he goes back!" ”

Meng Caiweng laughed, touched Yao Tianxi's head and said loudly: "You don't have to send it, you will recite it to me aloud for the article that the teacher likes to listen to, and you should say goodbye." ”

Yao Tianxi was not afraid of the eyes of pedestrians beside him, and recited loudly with his head held high, "Shunfa is in the acres, Fu Shuo is held between the plates, Jiao is held in the fish and salt, Guan Yiwu is raised in the Shi, Sun Shuao is raised in the sea, and Baili Xi is held in the city......"

Meng Caiweng gradually moved away, Yao Tianxi's mouth did not stop, "Therefore, the heavens will descend to the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they are tempted to endure and benefit what they can't ......."

Meng Caiweng listened to the voice of his love for the vain, the more he laughed, the happier he became, and while walking, he suddenly sang loudly: "The ancestors were only in troubled times, and my generation was only a teacher." He has been a Confucian for decades, and he is not as good as a janitor in the mountains! ”

In a moment, Yao Tianxi burst into tears, and bowed in the direction where his teacher went.
