At the strong request of the villagers, Zinian and Confucius had to stay behind and teach this group of students.

Here, Confucius taught students that there was no tuition fee. But! The families who sent their children to school gave the corresponding Dongdong as a reward, which is considered tuition!

For example, eating.

After Confucius was newly married for a full moon, he no longer went to Shen Lao's place to eat and no longer bothered others. After all! Shen Lao is over 90 years old and needs to recuperate.

Confucius, who came separately, needed everything. So! He accepted everything that was sent by others. There are only a few people, the family is too poor, and he asked the Qiguan family to secretly send it back to others.

During this period of time, Qi Guanshi also acquiesced in Confucius's behavior, and charged tuition fees irregularly, which was consciously realized by the parents of the students. The items sent by the students' parents are enough for their family to eat.

Zinian and Ha Lian both ate at her house.

Later, Zinian and Helian did not go to other people's houses for the night, and also slept in Confucius's house.

Furthermore! This is the maiden family of the Qi Guan's family, and it is not appropriate for Confucius to collect tuition.

Confucius gained experience, but later the school still did not charge tuition. Parents are expected to voluntarily send items of relevant value as tuition fees. Outcome! There were many students who came to eat and drink for nothing, and the Confucius family was poor.

Therefore! Qi Guan's family had a grievance, and asked Confucius to publicly collect tuition fees and clearly mark the price. Confucius did not agree, and the relationship between the husband and wife cracked.

That's an afterword.

Of course! It's not that the Qiguan clan is greedy for money or anything, but! Life is forced. If she doesn't find a few unconscious students to ask for tuition, her family will not be able to live.

There are 3,000 disciples of Confucius, and there are also many gangster students. Thereinto! There are also many students who are too poor to pay the tuition fees. These students are all staying at the husband's house, and you have to take care of the food. As a gentleman, it is impossible to have food for yourself and not care about the life or death of the students.

In this way, when there are more students, the teacher's family is poor.

There are more people who follow Zinian to learn martial arts than Confucius. Later, Zinian was more famous than Confucius, an uncle.

Zinian also does not charge tuition, and anyone who wants to learn can come to learn. It's just that! He didn't teach them one by one. Generally teach a few smart people, and then! Let these smart people teach their younger brothers.

Helian also followed Zinian's side and taught the girls martial arts.

Although Zinian and Helian lived in Confucius's house, the "tuition" they collected was handed over to the teacher's wife. The income of the two of them is more than the income of Confucius in the liberal arts.

In order to return to Lu as soon as possible, Confucius discussed with Zi Nian that things should be done from the beginning to the end, and these students taught should not let them give up halfway. So! Both made a plan.

Confucius planned to teach children to know more words, focusing on literacy, supplemented by etiquette and virtue. He made a list of the common words and taught the students. The words that are not commonly used are put at the back, and the words that are least used are not taught.

In terms of learning etiquette, children are taught the basic etiquette of daily ceremonies and sacrifices. Then teach the basic etiquette of all kinds of characters, and the etiquette in officialdom will not be taught for the time being.

Zi Nian also formulated a teaching plan to teach children the basic skills of martial arts. And then! Teach children hand-to-hand combat. And also! A few adults were taught a set of swordsmanship, spear skills, swordsmanship, and stick skills, and let them teach these children later.

Time flies, and it's early winter in a blink of an eye.

The early winter in the north is already very cold. The north wind was howling and often drizzling.

Confucius couldn't wait any longer and decided to leave.

Another reason why he wanted to leave was that Qi Guan's family was already pregnant. He had to take her back to Lu while the Qi Guan clan could still walk.

And also! Be sure to rush back to Lu before the spring festival to participate in the sacrifice and ancestor worship.

And also! The state of Chen has fallen, and the rest of the kingdom has not been captured. He was worried that the State of Lu was unprepared, and the footsteps of the State of Chen were destroyed by the State of Chu.

The current state of Chen, not to mention the destruction of the country, at least wants to become a vassal state of the state of Chu. Looking at the frame of the Chu State, it is not that he wants the State of Chen to become his vassal state, but! To destroy the state of Chen.

Because! At this time, the state of Chu was the largest power in the world, and no one could compete with it. There is also a major reason, there are people in the Chu State on the side of the Eastern Zhou Tianzi. At this time, the Eastern Zhou Tianzi's family was very chaotic, and he didn't care about the world's major affairs at all.

Although the Jin State can compete with the Chu State, the power of the Jin State is being handed over, and domestic affairs cannot be taken into account. So! Flawless takes care of the small country of Chen. Furthermore! The relationship between the king of Chen and the Jin State was not good, and he did not have the concubine who married the Jin State as the queen, and he did not have any privileges to divide the little prince. So! Jin Guo didn't bother to care. Opposite! And some schadenfreude.

After a few days of preparation, Confucius, Zi Nian, Qi Guan, and Helian left the village, left Qiu Town, and headed for the country of Lu in the north.

This day! The children in the village cried and knelt on the ground to see off Confucius and Zinian. The scene is quite touching.

For Confucius, everyone's impression is not so strong.

For Zinian, whether it is an adult or a child, they are reluctant.

Confucius was too rigorous, he was one and two and two, and he didn't giggle with others. Especially when he is in class, students are not allowed to make small movements, let alone talk or anything. Otherwise! He doesn't beat you or curse, he just glares at you with his eyes and makes eye contact with you. Frequently! I don't dare to look up when I see it, and I don't dare to look at him in the future, and I don't dare to do bad things again.

A standard "strict teacher" image, so! Not pleasing.

Zinian is completely different, although he is also strict, but after he is familiar with the children and parents, he talks and laughs. As long as you don't overdo it, he doesn't care. Furthermore! He knows martial arts, and his martial arts are so powerful, whether it is an adult or a child, they admire him and obey him from the bottom of their hearts, and they dare not giggle in front of him.

Seeing that touching scene, both Helian and Qi Guanshi cried.

After these months of training, Helian is much more sensible than before, and gradually matures. In the village, she also has a few good friends. Of course! Not an adult, but a little girl smaller than her.

Only little girls are willing to be friends with her, and mature women are afraid of her, afraid of being tricked by her. Visible! Helian's previous reputation and impression were not very good.

Qi Guan's family left his hometown, left his relatives, and followed his husband to Lu State, naturally crying the saddest.

After nearly a month of traveling, in the winter of 533 BC, Confucius married Qi Guan and returned to Qufu, the capital of Lu State, to his home.

When he returned home, his stomach was pregnant.

This time when he returned from the Song Kingdom, Confucius accepted everyone's gifts, bought a carriage, and brought back everything he could. Combined with his previous savings, he is a rich man.

Confucius, who returned to his hometown, set up a banquet and invited people from the village and former acquaintances to dinner, which was regarded as a wedding banquet.

Although he decided to change himself and stop being a Confucian and blowing a trumpet for others, he did not break off his friendship with people he knew in the past, and they were still friends.

After finishing his family's work, Confucius went to visit Ji Pingzi.

Later, through the relationship of Helian, he met Lu Zhaogong.

Confucius, who returned from the Song Kingdom, not only got married, but also became more mature. In terms of mentality, a completely different person.

Seeing this, Lu Zhaogong boasted: "You can participate in next year's feast." ”

I thought: What position will Ji Pingzi arrange for Confucius?
