"Teachable! Thank you, shopkeeper! Confucius stood up, left the table, came to the shopkeeper's face, and respectfully saluted the shopkeeper.

"Sir!" Min Ziqian saw Confucius saluting the shopkeeper in a serious manner, and he was not convinced.

"We lost our debate about the nature of the state, and I threw in the towel. But! In terms of moral character, in terms of human duty, we have not lost! ”

"Sir!" Zilu glanced at the shopkeeper and said to Confucius: "Although the shopkeeper is very researched and understands Taoism very thoroughly, he is also disagreeable with Zhongyou in terms of character!" ”

Zilu's thoughts are the same as Min Ziqian's, thinking that the shopkeeper lacks character.

"Good, good!" The shopkeeper waved his hand at Confucius and sat back on the stool, not looking at Confucius. Said: "I don't accept your gift! Your student is not convinced, and we will continue to debate! Until your teachers and students are completely convinced, you can give me a gift again! ”

Just now, Confucius came to him and saluted him solemnly, and he stood up and prepared to accept Confucius's salute. And then! Everybody reconciled. And then! Everyone discussed calmly. Outcome! This thought was interrupted by Min Ziqian and Zilu.

Confucius was embarrassed to stand there, though! No matter how embarrassing it was, I had to accept it, so I had to sit back on the stool. According to the weekly rites of the Great Zhou at that time, you should show it to others when you give gifts to others, so that it is in line with the etiquette system.

If you give gifts to others and others don't hang you, whether in ancient society or in modern society, it is an embarrassing or embarrassing thing.

Confucius was also frustrated, lost and defeated to get to such a point in life. Otherwise! Before, he wouldn't have been able to accept it. Holding back the fire in his belly, he glared fiercely at Min Ziqian and Zilu.

"Sir!" Zilu saw that Confucius's eyes were a little terrifying, and he couldn't help but scream.

I thought: Don't say that Kong Li is afraid of him, it's me! If one doesn't pay attention and sees his eyes, he will be just as afraid. What a good woman is the teacher's wife? But she was just as scared of her husband. Alas! Sir, this kind of look! It's horrible!

"Sir!" Min Ziqian screamed weakly.

Confucius replied angrily: "You can debate!" ”

And then! Just sit there alone and sulk.

The shopkeeper looked at Min Ziqian with a sneer on his face.

He knew: It's this Min Ziqian who is not convinced, Zilu is just unconvinced in his mouth, but he is already convinced in his heart. Right now! He just helped Min Ziqian.

Seeing the shopkeeper looking at him and sneering, Min Ziqian was even more unconvinced, and said, "Isn't there a problem with your character?" Can a person like you find people with the same destiny and then organize them to compare them with the power of the state? You ......"

"Be specific! What's wrong with my character? The shopkeeper interrupted.

"Since you want me to say it, then you're welcome! Don't say anything else! That's it, isn't it? You said? What do you mean? Do you have any character? If only I! If my husband encounters this situation, someone asks to stay in the hotel, but there is no store to live, right? If the guest wants to live in the firewood room, it will be on it, and we will definitely not charge for it. Even if you charge for it, you won't be charged more than a superior room......"

"Min Ziqian!" The shopkeeper interrupted: "Don't treat others as yourself!" Don't say, 'If only I was!' If it's my sir, you're you! I am me! I'm not me, and I'm not your husband!

Don't have this mindset in the future: don't treat others as yourself, and don't treat yourself as someone else. You are you! I am me! You have your way of life, and I have my way of life! You know what? Our thinking is different!

This is where you and your husband's mistake lies: always treating others as oneself and oneself as someone else. Impose your own ideas on others......"

"That's character!" Min Ziqian looked at Zilu and said, "The shopkeeper's character is different from ours. ”

"What's wrong with my character? You tell me clearly? ”

"I've made it very clear, we don't have beds and bedding in the firewood room, it's small, and it's more expensive than the first-class room, can you not admit that there is something wrong with your character?" After Min Ziqian finished speaking, he looked at the shopkeeper.

"Now that you're talking about character! From this point of view, you and your husband are not as good as me! The shopkeeper replied.

"How is my husband and I inferior to you? I! I won't talk about it. My husband, in Qufu, the capital of Lu State, is famous! ……”

"Gotta get it!" The shopkeeper interrupted: "Don't talk to me about things I can't see and haven't heard of, what about Qufu in Luguo?" Let's talk about the present! This has happened, your sir Kongqiu! Did he stop you from talking? That's it! It shows that his character is not as good as mine! ”

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Why did it come to my husband's head? My husband sat there and didn't move, huh? Zilu said on the side.

The shopkeeper looked at Confucius, and when he saw that Confucius pretended not to know, he kept looking at him until Confucius looked up.

When Confucius saw that the shopkeeper was pulling him, he had to stop and say, "Ziqian! Sub-road! "And then! There is no more to it.

"Hehehe!" The shopkeeper smiled: "This is called virtue!" ”

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Virtue? That's how virtuous my husband is! Zilu said.

"The character of my husband Confucius is known to the whole world! My husband is full of peach and plum all over the world, and has cultivated countless talents for the country of Lu......"

"Gotta get it!" The shopkeeper stopped: "Don't talk so far, just talk about what is in front of you!" What about morality? Who are they? ”

"What's wrong with my husband? What kind of virtue do you think it is? You're correcting it too, huh? You say I'm getting away, but what about you? You said! What kind of character is my husband? Min Ziqian asked.

"Your sir Kongchu he! Shame on being a teacher! The shopkeeper said.

"That's what you want me to say! Persecute what I said! Then I'll say it! He Kongqiu is not worthy of being a teacher! Why? His students make trouble unreasonably, but he doesn't strongly stop it, and let the students mess around, is it worthy of being a teacher? Isn't it?

Not convinced, isn't it? If you don't accept it, I'll say it! Why do you say that you are vexatious and messing around? What I say is well-founded! I charge you more for a firewood room than a first-class room, I admit it! I'm not denying that I didn't take it, am I? How much I charge is public, not blackmail! Isn't it?

My little guy said that he wanted ten knife coins per person, and it was a Song State knife, which was publicly charged, not blackmail. Isn't it? We didn't force you to live either, did we? We didn't force you to stay, did we? Isn't it?

In that case? How can you say that there is something wrong with my character? What if I don't have a problem with my character? Then there is something wrong with your husband's character! Isn't that the truth? Your husband volunteered to stay, didn't he? Outcome! After staying there, he regretted that he allowed his students to make trouble in my inn and ruin the reputation of my inn, didn't he? So! Your gentleman has a problem with his character! ”

"This, this, this? How did this get to the gentleman's head? ”

Min Ziqian never thought that the shopkeeper would pull this matter on Mr. again? Obviously, he was not convinced, but it turned out that Mr. was not strict in discipline and connived at the students to make trouble outside?

Zilu also said puzzledly: "This has something to do with Mr.?" ”
