The days go by every day, but the feelings are different.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is the feast day of the Lu country.

At the repeated request of the two concubines of the Qi Guan clan and Fang Jishi, Confucius decided to go to Ji Pingzi's house again to participate in the feast. Furthermore! Ji Pingzi also sent him an invitation post. And also! Lu Zhaogong also wanted him to participate.

But at this time, he was not very reluctant, but he had to be reluctant.

He doesn't want to be a leader, and he doesn't know if he can be a leader?

But? In terms of opening private schools, there has not been much improvement.

The number of students has not increased, but it has not decreased either. It's still those people, they are all from their own village, and there are no people from other villages for the time being. are all about four or five years old babies in the village, and the eldest is Ah Mao.

The people of this village are not entirely with the purpose of sending the baby to school, but mainly want to send the baby over to take care of it. In modern language, Confucius is regarded as a "kindergarten" and "nursery".

People from other villages also want to send the baby over, but after all, the road is far from convenient. As for older children, most people are reluctant to let them study, and they can help the family do something to reduce the burden on the family.

There is no way! The poor are poor because they are short-sighted.

If there is no new source of students, it is small, and the "Confucius Kindergarten" cannot make a profit, and sometimes it has to lose money. There are many people who regard this place as "free foster care", and they verbally say that they will make up the money later, but now they have to earn money from Confucius.

Although he didn't ask him to earn money, it was all paid by Fang Jishi, but after all, it was not a way, and if you didn't have any income on hand for the time being, you couldn't solve the urgent need.

Confucius believed that they were all villagers in the village, and they couldn't speak and didn't count, so they threw their babies at his house to eat and live for nothing, and they also had to teach them to read.

Even if it's a country, there's no such treatment?

Is there no tuition or living expenses?

In fact! And so much more than that, and so much more for free.

It can be said! The whole journey is free of charge.

There are also people who are grateful, and when they have money or things, they will symbolically send some over. There are also some people who seem to be just trying to take advantage of them and don't pull out a dime.

When it comes to teaching, Confucius already had experience. When he was in the Song Kingdom, he taught students for a while.

He had told Qi Guan's family before that he could teach as many students as he could. The students who came first teach the students who come later, and the smart students teach the stupid students. Learning, it's not about listening to a teacher all day long, but there are many ways to do it. It doesn't have to be taught by the teacher in the classroom, but it is taught outside of class.

Teaching by word and deed, teaching everywhere!

Some rote memorization must be taught in a proper manner. And other things that assist thinking can be taught in other ways.

Right now! Confucius was only responsible for teaching students to recognize and write characters and ideological and moral education every day. Tutoring, extracurricular activities, etc., have all been taught to the two concubines of Qi Guan and Fang Jishi.

Qi Guan's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and he can't do physical work anymore, and he can't do strenuous exercise. But! It's still okay to watch the kids. It's still okay to do what you can!

Fang Jishi's two concubines are the main teachers of the "Confucius Kindergarten". When Confucius was in class, they were on the side to help. At the end of class, they are responsible for the safety of the children. At noon, they still have to cook.

With the two concubines of the Qiguan family and Fang Jishi, Confucius was still relatively leisurely. Except for the outline, he hardly wants to ask about the details. So! At the instigation of the three of them, he agreed to join the feast.

If you can find a position to do things, that's even better! Then regard being an official as the main profession, and opening a private school as a side job, and the main business and the side business will not be delayed.

If he has time, he will come to teach the students in person, and if he doesn't have time, he will let the two concubines of the Qiguan clan and Fang Jishi teach on his behalf.

There are only thirteen students in total, compared to nine students under normal circumstances. There are four teachers in the "Confucius Kindergarten", which means that one teacher only leads three students.

Fang Zhong and Fang Shu were not counted, counting the two of them, there were only fifteen students in total.

So! It is entirely possible that Confucius became a scholar.

In the face of the persecution of life, he had to make concessions and bow to reality and the world. Furthermore! As a taxi, becoming a scholar is also the only way to go.

Scholar! He is going to come out to be an official.

After this period of running the school, although there was no profit and no income, the reputation of Confucius still spread unconsciously.

Some people say that Confucius was poor and crazy, so he opened a private school and a kindergarten. Some people laughed at him, saying that he was stupid, and you did it if he didn't make money?

There are also some who are grateful and feel that Confucius has helped them a lot. If there is no "kindergarten" opened by Kong Qiu, they will have to share their hearts and minds to take care of the baby. In this way, the burden of life is even heavier.

There are also some people who snickered in their hearts, laughing at Kongqiu for being stupid, not charging tuition fees and posting life to others to bring babies. It's true! Do you want to be famous and want to go crazy?

Anyway, during this period of time, the name of Confucius came out again. The name of Kongqiu, which had been silent for more than half a year, came out again.

No! It should have been silent for more than a year. It has been a year and a half since Confucius went to the Song Kingdom.

"You don't know yet? He's not Confucius anymore! When he was in the Song Kingdom, he was called 'Zi'. ”

"Yes! I've heard about it too! Kong Qiu was very famous in the Song Kingdom! But in our country of Lu, it is because he used to be a Confucian student and played the trumpet for other people's funerals that he made his reputation bad. In fact! Personally, I think that the Kongchu people are still okay! He is cultured, he understands etiquette. Deal with him, you don't have to think about it, he won't lie to you......"

Truly Confucian, you can rest assured that they won't cheat people. But! If it's in the cloak of Confucianism, then you don't have to discuss.

In this world! Most people are dressed in the cloak of Confucianism and do the business of pit people.

Wolves in sheep's clothing, specially go to eat sheep.

"In the past, Kong Qiu also practiced etiquette for Ji Pingzi's family! You don't know? Hearing that the officials of the State of Qi were coming, Ji Pingzi wanted to greet him with the highest level of etiquette, but the officials of the State of Lu did not understand etiquette, so they had to invite Confucius. Outcome! Where did Confucius learn the etiquette? rehearsed for Ji Pingzi's family, and later the officials of Qi were very satisfied......"

"Kong Qiu was originally talented, but it was because he looked like Yang Hu, a retainer of Ji Pingzi's family, that he was not reused by Ji Pingzi. It's not that Ji Pingzi doesn't use him, but Yang Hu is behind his back. ”

"To be fair, Kong Qiu was originally a scholar! His father is a scholar, this cannot be denied! Isn't it? Kong Qiu became what he is now, which can only be said to be because his father died early. If his father was still here, he wouldn't be what he is now, and he wouldn't need to blow the trumpet for the dead! ”

"Yes, yes, yes! I agree! ”

Crooked reasoning is also reason, and notoriety is also famous!

Anyway, Confucius became famous again. Before! He is honest in his work, knows how to be polite, and is known for blowing the trumpet for others' funerals. Right now! He became famous by founding the "Confucius Kindergarten".

In order to be grateful to Confucius, some people in this village began to call Confucius "Confucius". Under the leadership of a few people, everyone followed the flattery and called him "Confucius".

Face! Most people call him "Mr." or "Mr. Kong".
