"What is this word?" Helian also came over and wrote a word.

Confucius had to explain: What is this word? What do you mean? The origin of this word, as well as the various ways of writing it throughout the ages.

"And what about that word?" Helian wrote another word.

Confucius explained again.

Helian couldn't remember, so she gave up.

Seeing that Helian didn't ask, Zi Nian continued to ask.

That's it! Until dawn, the three of them came over like this. Two students asked, and a teacher taught them hand-in-hand.

After daybreak, the two horses ran to the gate of the yard and neighed, and the three stopped.

Confucius burned breakfast and ate it alone, and then went to sleep.

Helian and Zinian rode back to the inn in Qufu City. After breakfast, the two also slept with their heads covered.

In the afternoon, when they were hungry, the two of them got up and washed. Then he packed his bags and left his room. After eating in Qufu City, I came to Confucius's house.

The two decided! I lived in Confucius's house and followed the teacher.

Confucius just started the "private school" and accepted two free, high-level students. No! He is a "master" student.

Zinian didn't have anything to say, he was like a soldier, he could be self-disciplined. One is one and two is two, treat Confucius as a teacher and respect the teacher. Helian is different, not only does she not regard Confucius as a teacher, but she often looks for the happiness of her teacher.

There is no tuition, though! Since Zinian and Helian lived in the "teacher's" house, Confucius has not spent a penny on living expenses.

Zinian didn't have much money on him, but when he was in the barracks, many people scolded him and gave him some silver, hoping to continue to be friends. They believed in Zi Nian's personality and felt that it was worth being friends with him.

Helian is the princess of Lu Kingdom, Princess Helian, and she is a rich lord.

After moving to Teacher Kong's house, she went back to Lu Palace once. Lu Zhaogong asked her where she went, and she said that she had already worshiped Confucius as a teacher and went to study. Lu Zhaogong was happy, so he gave her a sum of money, and she naturally accepted it in full.

When someone came to ask Confucius to go to the funeral, Confucius took Zinian with him and did what he could. Zinian is big, strong, and flexible, and he is very liked. Helian stayed at home to look after Confucius's home.

The people in the village didn't know at first, thinking that Confucius was married? Is it his daughter-in-law who lives in his house? They were all curious to come and visit the newlyweds.

"It's not! No! No! What to watch? What to watch? I'm his student! Student! I am a student! ”

Helian yelled at the people watching the excitement and blasted them away.

After returning from the funeral, Confucius not only taught his son Nian and Helian to read and write, but also taught them other aspects. For example, playing the piano.

Later, Confucius taught students the "six arts": etiquette, music, poetry, archery, royalty, and mathematics.

I don't know what's going on, Confucius's archery skills have not improved. To know! His teacher's archery is a hundred steps through Yang!

Confucius has a lot of strength, and if you ask him to shoot an arrow, he just can't grasp that measure, either with a lot of force or with little force, and the arrow is either too strong or light. Anyway! Missed the bull's-eye.

"You're stupid! You? Helian was so angry that she scolded on the side.

But! The more you talk about him, the more he misses! It may be the reason for too much self-esteem! People are self-disciplined people, so! The more you talk about him, the worse he can't do it.

Confucius, Zinian, and Helian are the kind of relationship between teachers and friends. On the surface! Confucius is the teacher of Zinian and Helian, but actually! Confucius not only learned archery from Zi Nian, but also asked for martial arts.

Helian often volunteered, and in turn acted as a teacher, giving advice.

When Zinian saw that Helian was coming, he smiled and stepped aside and let her be a teacher.

Although Confucius did not like this teacher, he reluctantly accepted it. Helian has this character, and if you don't depend on her, you will suffer in the future. Only rely on her, grasp the proportions, and don't be tricked by her.

Seriously! Getting along with Helian allows you to learn a lot.

At the time of the Spring Festival, because of the relationship between Princess Helian, Confucius participated in the Spring Festival ceremony. Ji Pingzi and others also treated Confucius with courtesy for the reason of Princess Helian.

The spring festival is the New Year, and after the New Year, the weather is cold and warm, the number of sick and dead people increases, and Confucius is busy again.

Under the personal guidance of Confucius, Zi Nian had learned to "blow the trumpet" and had completely become a Confucian scholar, a person who specialized in handling funerals.

Ha Lian is a woman who stays at home most of the time. Only a few times was he called over by Mr. Kong to help. Some people don't have many family members and need a caring helper. So! Women can sometimes help, too.

In 533 BC, the twelfth year of King Jing of Zhou, and the early summer of the ninth year of Duke Lu Zhao, Confucius was ready to completely break off the past, bid farewell to the identity of "Confucianism" blowing the trumpet, and become a real scholar.

He decided to go to the Song Kingdom to find his ancestors.

He decided to go to his hometown to see, if there was a marriage contract? So! Let's get married!

At this time, he earned some money, saved some money, and had the capital to change his fate.

Since Zinian followed him, Zinian's salary was not required, and it was all regarded as tuition.

According to the rules of the time, Zinian followed Confucius as an apprentice without pay. But! As a teacher, Confucius could receive two salaries from the master's family.

So! During this time, Zinian helped him earn some money again.

And also! Since Ha Lian moved into his house, he has saved a lot of money in terms of living expenses.

At this time, Confucius was a very rich man. Although his identity is a Confucian scholar, he is not a real scholar. But he was richer than the low-ranking taxis.

He was a wealthy and unbanked taxi, a taxi without a fixed estate, a taxi without a fiefdom, a taxi without a salary guarantee, and a taxi without special treatment for princes and kings.

When everything was ready, Confucius went to his brother Meng Pi to visit his brother and his nephew, who had just been born.

Seeing his nephew's cute appearance, he was deeply moved.

It's true! He wanted to get married. He has a kind of sustenance for family affection, imagining that he will also have a home of his own like his brother.

"Mound! Do you really want to go back to Song Kingdom's hometown? Brother Meng Pi asked.

"Hmm!"

"I think I've heard? You had a marriage contract with Song Guo back then? Hill! ”

"Whom are you engaged?" Confucius asked anxiously.

Brother Meng Pi shook his head, he didn't know either, but vaguely remembered something.

Meng Pi was also kicked out of the house very early and didn't know what was going on at home.

According to the judgment: it should have been before, and many people over there knew about it.

It's just that after Meng Pi and Kong Mu were kicked out of the house, they cut off the news from there.

Hearing his brother Meng Pi say this, Confucius knew even more in his heart.

With the Song Kingdom, there must be a marriage contract.
