In the reception hall of Cheng's house, the sofas and coffee tables that were "tricked" by Cheng Yanjin were placed in two rows on both sides of the hall. The number of these new pieces of furniture is not enough to fill the living room, and the rest of the space is still filled with the traditional low tables and upholstery of the era. Even the main seat in the middle of the door in the living room is also placed with a low table and soft cushions.

Looking at the mixed arrangement of new and old furniture, Zhao Yunze was in a trance for a while. It was as if he was in the middle of an overlapping time and space.

"Brother, that old immortal is Kong Yingda." Cheng Yanjin pointed to an old man who was kneeling behind a low table on one side, and whispered to Zhao Yunze.

Zhao Yunze returned to his place and looked at the old man. The old man was dressed in a blue robe, and his hair and beard were gray. For some reason, he didn't sit on the sofa, but bent his knees and sat on the cushion.

Kong Yingda was originally squinting, but when he heard footsteps, he opened his eyes and looked at Cheng Yanjin and Zhao Yunze.

Zhao Yunze hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Junior, Zhao Yunze, has seen Dr. Kong. ”

Kong Yingda didn't get up, just knelt there and looked at Zhao Yunze for a while, and then he asked Zhao Yunze very abruptly: "I heard that you made all these furniture?" ”

Although Kong Yingda didn't make any movements or eye signals, Zhao Yunze also knew that he was asking about those new furniture.

"Kid is not talented, he came up with these pieces of furniture out of his mind, which makes your old man laugh." Zhao Yunze deliberately lowered his posture and said.

"Hmph, strange and ingenious skills, if everyone sits with their feet down with these furniture, where is the ancient rite left?" Kong Yingda suddenly said in an unkind tone.

Zhao Yunze was stunned, didn't I just come up with some new furniture, why did it have something to do with ancient rites?

Cheng Yanjin smiled at this time and said: "Confucius, don't use ancient rites to train people at every turn, I feel that these furniture are very comfortable to use." ”

Kong Yingda glanced at Cheng Cheng and bit Jin, and said disdainfully: "The old man doesn't argue with you, a rough man!" ”

Zhao Yunze was happy when he heard it, and he dared to love the old master and was afraid of hooligans! If so, do you argue with me, or do you think I'm a gentleman?

"Dr. Kong, what kind of writing do you usually use?" Zhao Yunze had an idea and asked Kong Yingda.

"Naturally, it is the four treasures of pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and study." Kong Yingda replied inexplicably.

Zhao Yunze bowed his hand to Kong Yingda again and said: "As far as the kid knows, the brush was the first made by Meng Tian in the Qin Dynasty, and as for the paper, it was carried forward by Cai Hou of the Eastern Han Dynasty. If everyone has to follow the ancient rites, is it still necessary to write with knives carved bamboo and wooden tablets? ”

"This ......," Kong Yingda relented. He thought about it for a long time, and finally said angrily: "You are a strong word!" The thing of writing, which is to promote learning and educate the world, can it be compared with these luxurious things that you have made? ”

Zhao Yunze also lost his temper, and he asked Kong Yingda again: "Luxury? Dr. Kong, boy, please ask, what is Huaxia? ”

"Huaxia is China, China is Huaxia, such a simple common sense, you actually came to ask me?" Kong Yingda's eyes were full of disdain when he looked at Zhao Yunze.

Zhao Yunze asked again: "Then what is the difference between Huaxia and Siyi?" ”

"Chinese people understand etiquette; The people of the four Yi are not civilized. Kong Yingda replied.

Zhao Yunze shook his head and chuckled: "No, no, no, no, there are people in Huaxia, and there are also traitors who don't know what etiquette is; And the people of the four Yi are not all uncivilized people, they also have their own etiquette and cultural heritage, some Yi people, and even have their own words and books, which cannot be regarded as uncivilized. ”

"And what do you teach me?" Kong Yingda asked rhetorically.

Zhao Yunze smiled confidently and said, "Hua, Meiye; Summer, Daya. China has the beauty of clothing called Hua, and there is etiquette called summer. These gorgeous costumes and broad etiquette are important symbols that distinguish China from barbarians. How could Dr. Hung despise luxury? ”

Zhao Yunze's explanation is actually from the Internet of later generations, and the sentence he said, "China has the beauty of clothing, and the beauty of etiquette is called summer", which is a sentence often said by later generations of Hanfu revivalists.

As for the real source of this sentence, Zhao Yunze is unknown.

In fact, the sentence he used to refute Kong Yingda was exactly what Kong Yingda said in his hand-me-down book "Spring and Autumn Left Justice". The original text is: China has great etiquette, so it is called Xia; There is the beauty of uniforms, which is called Hua.

It's just that "Spring and Autumn Zuo Chuan Justice" was written by Kong Yingda after serving as the country's prince in the twelfth year of Zhenguan, and now it is still in the Wude period, but this sentence is the first time Kong Yingda has heard it.

As soon as Zhao Yunze's rebuttal came out, Kong Yingda was stunned for a moment. "This ...... I have to think about it again. ”

won a small game, and Zhao Yunze was proud in his heart. At this moment, there was a hearty laugh at the door of the main hall: "Hahahaha...... What a 'beauty of clothing is called the flower, and the etiquette is called the summer'! I heard such a good talk before I even entered the door, and it was really worth the trip! ”

Zhao Yunze, Kong Yingda, and Cheng Yanjin hurriedly looked at the door, only to see Fang Xuanling walking in with a smile on his face.

"Old Fang, you came early enough!" Cheng Yanjin greeted Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "If it's too late, how can you hear such a good talk from Yun Ze?" It seems that Yizhen (Cheng bites the golden word) chooses this teacher for his nephew, and he is really unique! ”

Zhao Yunze hurriedly said politely: "Lord Fang has won the award, and the kid is just talking nonsense." ”

Fang Xuanling waved his hand and said: "Being able to make Dr. Kong speechless is not nonsense, it is really a university question!" ”

Kong Yingda finally stood up at this time, and as soon as he heard Fang Xuanling arranging himself, he immediately said with a bitter face: "The future is terrifying, Xuanling, you and I are old!" ”

Kong Yingda is only five years older than Fang Xuanling, so he compares Fang Xuanling with his own age, but he also said it in the past.

"Hahahaha, I finally heard you old man say a soft word." Cheng Yanjin said very uncomfortably to Kong Yingda.

Fang Xuanling looked at the new-style furniture at this time and said, "These pieces of furniture, in the future, I am afraid they will also be important things that can be used to distinguish between Huaxia and barbarians." ”

Zhao Yunze said embarrassedly: "This is all something designed by chance on a whim of the kid, which can afford such praise from Lord Fang." ”

Fang Xuanling shook his head and said: "Yun Ze doesn't have to be modest, Fang Mouguan looks at these furniture very exquisitely, and in the future, it will definitely prosper!" ”

When Cheng Yanjin heard Fang Xuanling's words, he immediately panicked, he didn't know what to think, he pulled Fang Xuanling's arm and said: "Old Fang, I have already agreed with Yun Ze that I will partner with him to set up a carpentry shop and specialize in making this kind of furniture for sale, you can't think crookedly anymore." ”

Fang Xuanling was stunned for a moment, and then scolded with a smile: "Cheng Zhijie, Cheng Zhijie, you are really in the eyes of money." Don't worry, Fang will not compete with you. ”

"Hey, that's good, that's good." Cheng Yanjin relieved himself and let go of Fang Xuanling's arm.

Fang Xuanling stretched out his hand to Kong Yingda again, and said, "Brother Kong, how about you and I come together to feel these luxurious things?" ”

Kong Yingda didn't refuse this time, nodded, and sat on the sofa with Fang Xuanling.
