Zhan Shu is the master, sitting on the chairman, Kong Qiu and Qingji are guests, whoever sits on the right will inevitably have to be humble. The princes of the world, except for the Chu State and the left, all other countries are still on the right, and the right is respected, and the important guests should naturally sit on the right.

Kong Qiu thought that this banquet was originally to welcome Qingji, and because he was the son of Wu Guo, he should sit on the upper seat. Qingji was as soon as he saw this Master Kong, who was as tall as Mu Tiezhu, and a golden plaque appeared in his mind, with the four big words "Holy Ancestor" written on it.

Confucius advocates Zhou etiquette, and Zhou Li integrates the etiquette of humility into all aspects of life, and imperceptibly behaves in the rules, sitting, lying and walking, building and eating, all of which have extremely detailed regulations. At that time, etiquette was not just a kind of politeness, so Confucius attached great importance to etiquette, how could he do anything beyond the etiquette, Qingji heard the old master solemnly and solemnly talk to him about 'etiquette', his heart was afraid at first, so he had to sit down at the right seat, and the guest and host were happy to start the banquet.

Mrs. Chengbi travels extensively, often comes to Qicheng to live, and the courtyard here supports a group of musicians and dancers all the year round, so the hall is full of singing and dancing, and it is very lively.

Doctor Zhan raised the cup and toasted the two of them, put down the glass and asked Kong Qiu: "Zhongni, you left in a bad mood, but when you heard about it, you sighed for a long time. Now that you're back, what are your plans? ”

Kong Qiu hesitated for a moment, then slowly put down the wine cup and said with a faint smile: "Qiu is going to return to his hometown and set up an altar to give lectures, what does Brother Zhan think?" ”

Doctor Zhan twisted his beard and smiled: "Zhong Ni is erudite and courteous, admired by the world, and now he is in the prime of life, he should come out to do things." ”

Kong Qiu sighed: "Kong Qiu wants to be in Lu Congshi, I'm afraid it will be a difficult future, right?" ”

Zhan Yu stared at Kong Qiu for a moment, and then smiled dumbly: "Does Zhong Ni still remember to reprimand Lord Jisun for overstepping his courtesy in person?" Zhongni, Lord Jisun is in charge of state affairs, and he is thirsty for talent, how can some small things be put on his heart? You are a well-known person in the Lu country, well-versed in ancient and modern times, knowledgeable, and famous among the princes, Lord Jisun has the ambition to strengthen the Lu country, how can you give up such a talent as Zhongni and not use it? If you are willing to follow the ranks, Brother Fool can introduce you. ”

Kong Qiu moved, thought for a while, raised his glass and smiled: "Brother Zhan's kindness, Qiu is very grateful." I've been away from my hometown for so long, I must go back to have a look, wait for Kong Qiu to go home and stay for a while, and then visit Brother Zhan in Qufu? ”

When he said this, he agreed in disguise, showed joy in his heart, and had another drink with him. Kong Qiu put down the cup and happily asked Qingji, "Can Gongzi go to Qufu?" ”

Qingji smiled, didn't glance at the corner of his eye, and replied proudly: "Qingji originally wanted to go to Qufu to heal his injuries, but now his injuries are gradually healing, but his heart is like an arrow, so it doesn't matter if he doesn't go to Qufu." Doctor Meng Zhan was gracious, Qingji stayed here for a few days, as soon as he moved freely, he immediately returned to Aicheng, recruited troops and horses, and attacked Wu again, and did not report the revenge of killing his father, Qingji is not worthy of being a son of man! ”

Kong Qiu was shocked when he heard this, and immediately high-fived.

Filial piety is an important part of his advocacy, and Qingji's answer is exactly what he likes, how can he not be itchy and scratchy? One of his disciples once asked him what if he had a grudge against someone else to kill his father. At that time, Confucius also replied to it, and it was later recorded in the Analects.

His words were changed to today's vernacular, to the effect that if there is a revenge for killing his father, he can't wear good clothes, he can't eat well, he can't be an official, no matter what method is used, he must kill the enemy to avenge his father, and if he accidentally meets him on the side of the road, and he has no weapon in his hand, he has to cut him if he picks up a brick.

Therefore, he naturally praised Qingji's expression of filial piety, and immediately praised: "Childe's words are very true!" The enmity of parents is not shared. It is said that the prince killed the king and seized the throne, which is a great rebellion, that is, he was originally the king of a country, and he was the son of a man, and he should also be the king of his father, and he must not abandon his father for the king. ”

Qingji was stunned when he listened: "Doesn't Confucianism say that the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die, why did Confucius say that he would rather be the father than the king, not the father, is it all the unscrupulous descendants of Confucianism in later generations who praised the emperor's stinky feet and invented the rhetoric, which has nothing to do with Confucius at all?" ”

Zhan Shu twisted his beard and smiled, but he couldn't see anything on his face after listening to Qingji's words, at this moment, a gust of wind came, sending in a strange smell, and the musicians and Maiko on both sides covered their noses and frowned, Zhan Shu was furious, and shouted: "How can this be reasonable, what kind of smell is this?" ”

The steward of Chengfu ran out in a panic to find out, and after a while, he ran back and said: "Lord Zhan, the villain went out to ask, and the Baifu family next door was manure and farming, and the smell came over." ”

Zhan was entertaining guests, but there was a smell of grains on the table, which immediately made him lose face, and made Dr. Zhan so angry that his face turned pale, he knew that the so-called Baifu next door was the other residence of Jia Baiziling, a great businessman of Lu State, and he naturally did not take Bai Ziling in his eyes.

It's just that now Bai Ziling is not here, and there are just some subordinates in the Bai Mansion, and it is inconvenient for him to surrender his identity and come forward in person, so he shouted angrily: "You go and tell them, just say that the mansion is feasting, and if there is a peculiar smell disturbing my interest, I will not be spared." ”

The steward ran out and said through the courtyard wall, the roar on the other side was like thunder, and Zhan Shu and the others could hear it clearly when they sat in the hall, and a man's voice said in a strange voice: "You feast your guests, I will pour my fat, and your family will blame it, so I will blame the wind for not being interesting, what do you have to do with me?" ”

After saying that, there was a loud laugh behind the wall, and Zhan Shuyan's eyebrows stood up sharply when he heard this, and he "snapped" and slammed the case. Qingji persuaded: "Don't be annoyed, the doctor, let the family know the identity of the doctor in Baifu, and the naughty boy should be afraid." ”

Zhan Shu swallowed his evil breath, and called the steward of the Chengfu with a calm face and asked him to negotiate with the mansion, but the steward didn't expect the subordinates of the Baifu to become so bold, and hurriedly went to the Baifu after receiving the order. After only a moment, there was a miserable cry from the partition wall, and Zhan Shu, Qingji, and Kong Qiu were stunned, and then saw the steward of Chengfu and several family members supporting each other, and rushed back with a blue nose and swollen face.

The steward of Chengfu knelt on the ground, crying that he was beaten by the brutal subordinates of Baifu, and begged Dr. Zhan to come forward. Doctor Zhan was trembling with anger, Kong Qiu's big eyes were also wide, and the two moral pacesetters were gearing up, and they were going to come out in person to seek justice.

Qing Ji couldn't help but move in his heart when he saw this scene, and Dr. Fang Cai Zhan said that the Bai family was just a businessman from the Lu Kingdom, knowing that there was a doctor with a prominent status next door, how could a businessman's family dare to be so presumptuous? It's okay to spread the smell, and they also brand the people who come to the door to theorize like this, obviously they are deliberately provocative, what do they want?

Qingji's heart turned, then he calmed down, sat there steadily, and said, "Doctor Zhan, Mr. Kong, don't be impatient. Liang Huzi, come close! ”

Liang Huzi, the left guard, sang a promise, strode in from the hall, and held his fists in a military salute. Qing Ji looked at Liang Huzi and said lightly: "You go, don't let the laity disturb everyone's interest." ”

Liang Huzi is the general of the former Wu State, and he has always followed Qingji, and he knows his mind best. He looked at Qingji as he clasped his fists and saluted, Qingji's eyes stared at him slightly, and then he brushed the ground and hung down to stare at the wine glass. Liang Huzi knew it in his heart, raised his thick eyebrows, bowed his head, retreated step by step, ordered twenty tiger and wolf soldiers, and went out of the gate in the wind.

Zhan Shu reacted at this time, and said uneasily: "Gongzi is a guest from afar, and it is already Zhan's sin to be inconsiderate, and if you work your soldiers again, won't Zhan be ashamed?" ”

Qingji owes himself, and says with a smile: "The doctor's hospitality, Qingji is ashamed and can't be repaid." A little thing, Qingji does the work for his siblings, and the bento should be a reward for the doctor's kindness. Come on, come on, don't let the villain disturb the wine, Doctor Zhan, Mr. Kong, please. ”

Zhan Shu and Kong Qiu raised their glasses in response, but their ears were pricked up, listening to the movement next door.

Liang Huzi led twenty soldiers, came to the gate of Baifu, banged the gate loudly, and shouted: "Open the door, open the door!" ”

Someone inside said sadly: "Is the dog in Chengfu barking again?" If you want to enter the door, there is a door next to it, don't break the door of my house, you can't afford to compensate for it. ”

Liang Huzi looked to the side, but it was a dog hole in the door, and he couldn't help but be furious. He looked left and right, and saw a stone stone stone lying under the door bucket next to him, so he walked over, held the holes on both sides of the stone stone, took a long breath, and lifted the stone stone with a loud shout.

This stone stone weighs no less than three hundred catties, ordinary wrestlers really can't lift it, Liang Huzi is known for brute strength, and his strength is only slightly inferior to Qingji. Liang Huzi's face trembled, and he stepped up the steps step by step with the stone stone, and slammed it forward in front of the door, and there was a loud bang like a landslide, and the extremely strong gate cracked, and the horizontal bar blocking the door was stretched, and many spikes were drawn like thorns.

Liang Huzi roared again, and the stone stone slammed forward again, and with a loud bang, the door was smashed open, and half of the gate even broke the door shaft, and stood on the ground crookedly.

Liang Huzi threw away the stone, raised his leg and kicked, the half of the gate fell to the ground, and the dust of the day was raised, and when the dust slowly dissipated, Liang Huzi had led twenty soldiers into the courtyard, holding spears, glaring angrily, and shouting: "Who is the manager of the White Mansion?" ”

Seeing that they were so powerful, several thieves who pretended to be writers deliberately harassed were slightly cowardly, and one of the big men stepped forward and shouted fiercely: "You are so rude, why did you smash the door of my house?" ”

Liang Huzi snorted, grabbed his clothes, and shouted with leopard eyes wide open: "My master is so good at drinking in the hall, and you villains make the smell all over the sky." The steward of the Chengfu reasoned with you, and was beaten by you and others for no reason. Courtesy? Ahh Is etiquette also something that people like you can talk about? ”

"Who are you?" The thief Li Xuan appeared at the entrance of the hall and looked coldly at this burly man dressed as a warrior.

Liang Huzi glanced at him, saw his standing demeanor, knew that this person was the master, and pushed his hand, and the thief who reasoned with him stepped back a few steps, but fortunately was held by his accomplices and did not sit on the ground.

Liang Huzi puffed up his chest and said: "I am Liang Huzi from Wu, my master Menglu Guozhan was invited by Dr. Menglu Guozhan to drink in Chengfu, why did the Baifu family repeatedly harass and pick quarrels and provoke trouble?" ”

Li Xuancun was troubled, and sneered when he heard this: "This is strange, I am standing in my own yard, why did I fall into the charge of picking quarrels and provoking trouble from you?" Are you Wu people so arrogant and arrogant? Phew, what kind of goods is your owner? ”

Liang Huzi was furious: "My master's status is precious, how can a villain like you hear about it, be careful when you speak, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." ”

Li Xuan laughed: "Wait for the barbarians, do you know what etiquette is?" It's just something that hides its head and tail and doesn't dare to see people! ”

Qingji heard it clearly in the hall, his eyebrows couldn't help but smile, and then he heard the clanging sound in the courtyard next door, and the sound of weapons colliding, and the two sides had already handed over their hands.

Dr. Zhan craned his neck uneasily, although he couldn't see anything. If Qingji's subordinates let people hurt, then his face would be a big shame today. At this moment, I heard a shout from next door: "Kill, kill!" Then there was a cacophony of shouts.

Doctor Zhan couldn't sit still any longer, stood up suddenly, and said hurriedly: "Quick, go and see what is going on." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door suddenly opened, and twenty armor warriors strode in with Liang Huzi like the moon, Liang Huzi held a bloody human head in his hand, strode up to the hall, knelt down with his sword, and said loudly: "The Baifu family is looking for provocations and insulting my lord, Liang Huzi has killed him under the sword, and now he is coming to his life." ”

As soon as Liang Huzi said this, everyone in the hall was shocked. Liang Huzi kowtowed heavily and said, "Please drink with the Lord, Doctor Zhan, and Mr. Kong at ease, no villain dares to disturb him, and he will retire humbly." With that, he got up and walked backwards towards the entrance of the hall.

Qingji lifted the wine jug and poured wine back and forth into the cup, and asked lightly without raising his head: "Where are you going with your head?" ”

Liang Huzi stopped, paused and said: "I don't dare to serve the Lord with a sinful body, so I went to see the shepherd of the city to ask for punishment for my sin." ”

Qingji laughed, raised his eyes and said, "You are loyal to the lord, but my son knows that you have merit, why is it a sin?" Throw this head back to the Bai family, and tell the Bai family that Wu Guoqing is jealous of hunting in his courtyard and slaughtering a vicious dog, if you want compensation, please come to see me, and Qingji should be taught! ”

Qing Ji said it lightly, Zhan Yu's face turned pale when he heard it, but the guards in the hall and the Chengfu family raised their eyebrows one by one.

Qingji said, smiled at Zhan, and said: "Doctor Zhan, the surname of my son's subordinates is violent, and the protector is anxious, so Dr. Zhan laughs." ”

Zhan was calm and hurriedly said, "Ah...... Ah......, the Bai family is flying high, insulting the son, and has his own way to die, the son has this loyal subordinate, and Zhan is very ...... Very impressive. ”

At that time, only a few Central Plains countries clearly formulated laws, including the Lu State, although many vassal states have clear provisions on land, etiquette, etc., but in the criminal law is not in writing, the people do not know the clear legal provisions, once a case occurs, it is the local ministers and doctors sit in the court, discuss the punishment results, people have a random surname is very large.

Therefore, if the people kill people because of revenge or good reputation, the people petition for mercy, and the doctors say that they will let them go, and the nobles can kill the commoners with impunity. Gongzi Qingji is a nobleman, and the other party is just a few domestic slaves of the merchant family, with a humble status, humiliating the nobles with a slave status, and if he dies, he will die, and there will be no official family to pursue it, and the common people have no legal basis to protest.

Qingji laughed and said: "Qingji wanted to recuperate here for a few days before returning to the country, but I didn't want to be embarrassed again and again, and it was really a sin to be embarrassed by Dr. Zhan." ”

When he said this, he turned his head and shouted: "Dong Gou, go to the front of the mansion to establish the name of this son, Wu Guoqing is also a good man who stands up to the sky wherever he goes, I see who else dares to disturb trouble!" ”

The right soldier Wei Donggou was a warrior who came to join him from the Jin Kingdom, and he wrote well, and when he heard the big words, he walked out quickly.

Qingji's expression changed again, Zhan Yan raised his glass, and said with a smile to Zhan Hou Kongqiu: "Come on, come on, the night is gone, let's drink with confidence." ”

When the steward of Chengfu saw that this Qingji boy gave him such a bad breath, he was so happy that he danced with his hands, and hurriedly glared at his panda-like eyes, and shouted to the left and right: "Don't you play music and dance?" ”

The stunned musicians and dancers on both sides were drunk by him, as if waking up from a dream, and immediately the sheng flute sounded in unison, the green sleeves flew, and the Chengfu Hall was immediately a song and dance.

Zhan Shu and Kong Qiu looked at each other and smiled bitterly, they really didn't expect to celebrate a son of a dead country, and when he arrived in Lu State, he would not be a low-key person, and he would still be so violent, so he had to raise a glass to socialize.

Zhan won the cup, halfway through this glass of wine, a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, and he suddenly woke up: "Oh, no! I'm on the way of the young man! ”
