Section 10 Everything is inferior (I)
As soon as the words came out, the room was shocked.
The seven girls kneeling on the ground were full of surprise and gratitude, and grinned with snot; Master Shen, who was sitting at the top, also looked at Shen Mo with a surprised expression, and he felt that he had to get to know this young man again. As for the fourth young master, he also nodded secretly behind Shen Mo, his lips furrowed, as if he was saying, 'Good boy, righteous enough' or something.
Silently accepted everyone's gaze, he knew it very well in his heart...... Even if the Seven Girls' family is kicked out of the compound, and the father and son occupy a building alone, they can't change the situation under the fence. No matter how big the house is, as long as it is under the fence, it is inevitable that it will be condescendingly questioned and controlled as you want like today, which is simply too bad.
Yes, the arrogance that Master Shen inadvertently revealed deeply hurt Shen Mo's self-esteem, if he was given a choice, he would rather go back to the grass hut by the river than live in this mansion again.
It's just that he is mentally mature and knows what should and shouldn't be shown, so he won't have a seizure on the spot.
'It's not a bastard to harm others and benefit yourself, it's a bastard to harm others and not to benefit yourself!' This is the motto of silence.
With such a thought in his heart, how could he bear the infamy of 'narrow-minded and intolerant' and do such a damaging thing?
After being stunned for a moment, it was Master Shen who recovered first, looked at Shen Mo with a smile and said, "If it is according to what you said, both families are at fault and will be punished." ”
Shen Mo said indifferently: "The eldest lord is fair and merciful, no matter what punishment, Shen Mo is willing to accept it." ”
"Hehe......" Master Shen was amused by the silence, don't look at this kid's age, but he is very old and spicy when he speaks. A big hat of 'fairness and benevolence' was buttoned on his head, which made Master Shen feel comfortable and couldn't cry or laugh, so he had to put on a straight face and said: "Between neighbors and clansmen, they should love each other and support each other. Then he said to the seventh girl: "You go back and clean the room for others, don't be so small-bellied in the future," and glared: "There is no next time, do you know?" ”
The seventh girl was already convinced, where would she not dare, and nodded again and again as if a chicken pecked rice: "The granddaughter knows, knows." ”
"Let's go down." Master Shen flicked his wide sleeves and said flatly: "Let's do it yourself." ”
The seventh girl kowtowed to Master Shen first, and then looked at Shen Mo gratefully, and then fled from the hall that made her feel depressed in a panic.
When the seven girls left, there was silence left in the Zhonghe Hall, Master Shen and the fourth young master.
Master Shen's expression also softened a lot, and he smiled at Shen Mo: "The seventh girl is a rough person, so she can only be punished with physical work." But you're a reader, so we'll have to write something. ”
Shen Mo's sweat came down, and he said in his heart: "It's okay for you to let me clean up the Shen family's compound, but don't let me recite poems and write words or something." But how can you show cowardice at such a time? I'm going to have to go on it too!
"The eldest lord listens to it." Shen Mo's expression was calm, his legs and stomach were twisted, and he was ready to 'urinate'.
"I'll test you a question." Master Shen smiled and said, "If you answer correctly and answer well, not only will you not be punished, but you will also be rewarded." If you answer incorrectly, you will be punished to clean the entire Shen family's door. ”
It's really the same thing that heroes see, and they almost shouted in silence, 'It's okay for me to admit punishment directly?' Fortunately, he was angry with Master Shen and was unwilling to accept this soft ...... And because he burst out of his heart with a kind of confidence, as if he was not afraid of this kind of game.
So, he said righteously: "Okay, sir, please speak." ”
"Okay." Master Shen bowed his head and said, "Since you have passed the county exam, you must have read the four books, right?" ”
"Read." The silent ghost sends the gods to the word.
"Good." Master Shen pointed to the plaque on his head and said, "Explain to the old man the origin of these four words." ”
"Neutralization and ...... "Damn, what do you mean?" Shen silently scolded, and a series of words flashed in his mind, and he couldn't help blurting out: "This sentence is from the fifth sentence of the first article of "The Mean", 'To neutralize, heaven is in the right place, and all things are cultivated.'" ’”
"Yes, what does that mean?" Master Shen nodded and smiled.
These four words are the essence of the whole text of "The Mean". The "Sub-chapter of the Mean" explains: 'To neutralize, the clear body is used consistently; To educate by position, the extreme merit of Akihito and sincerity. Shen Mosuo was no longer surprised, and opened the conversation box and gushed: "That is to say, 'neutralization' is the goal, treat people and things, and speak and act impartially, harmoniously and moderately; 'Position breeding' is the method. ”
"How do you 'breed'?" Master Shen asked solemnly, as if he was discussing a question with a peer.
"Zhu Zi said: 'Those who are in place, they are also safe. The one who nurtures is born. According to Zhu Zi's explanation, 'bit of education' is 'born in peace'. I should abide by my own body and follow the way of heaven, so that I can 'cultivate' and 'neutralize'. ”
After finishing speaking, Shen Mo stood quietly in the hall, quietly recalling what Fang Cai said, as if he had an understanding.
Master Shen also closed his eyes slightly, silent, as if he also had some understanding.
Only Shen Sishao couldn't understand anything, so he naturally felt bored, but he didn't dare to leave without permission, standing there scratching his ears and cheeks, feeling uncomfortable.
Fortunately, the fugue state of the two did not last long, and they only heard Master Shen stroking his palms and laughing: "A good one who abides by his own body and follows the way of heaven has already penetrated the three flavors of Zhuzi." ”
Shen Mo hurriedly said modestly: "The student is just reading from the book and understanding it a little, and the eldest master has won the award." ”
"There have been no awards." Master Shen twisted his beard and smiled: "How old are you this year?" ”
"Thirteen." Shen Mo said softly.
"To be able to reach such a level at the age of thirteen shows how talented you are and how hard you work. It's rare, it's rare! Master Shen sighed: "If the fourth child had half of your intelligence, he wouldn't be as ...... as he is now" Glancing at Shen Sishao, his face was cold and hard again: "If you can't write a book, you can't do martial arts, you are idle, and you are a waste!" ”
Shen Si Shaoxin said: "I know that if you don't let me go, it will be fine." ’
Shen Mo also said in his heart: "It's time to get to the point." Sure enough, I heard that Master Shen turned his head and said with a smile: "Shen Mo, I just said that there is a prize for answering correctly, what kind of reward do you want?" ”
Shen Mo rolled his eyes in his heart, and said secretly: "Is there still a choice?" Then he smiled sincerely: "The elder didn't dare to resign, and he didn't dare to choose." ”
