Chapter 307: Searching for a Lost Soul
Seeing Confucius ask about the cornerstone of the square, Zinian walked back.
Helian was not reluctant, but she had to follow back.
They all received an "order" from Fang Jishi to protect Confucius to go to the Song Kingdom next year to find his ancestors.
They were trained in the barracks, and they all made it their duty to obey orders. Fang Jishi's words are orders for them.
Now Zi Nian, the most convincing person is Fang Jishi. The convincing of the other party's cornerstone is worse than that of his father.
Not to mention Helian, she has always regarded Fang Jishi as her husband. Since entering the military camp to train, she finally understands the good intentions of her husband's cornerstone. Therefore! I was more convinced of him.
In this way, a man is a mountain! It's heaven! It's the Father!
Although she still fantasizes about marrying Fang Jishi in her heart, it is not as strong as before. Because! She knows! Fang Jishi would not agree to her. If Fang Jishi had promised her, he would have agreed a long time ago, and when she was ignorant and dedicated, people would have agreed.
Father's love is like a mountain!
The love that Fang Jishi gave her was heavier than father's love!
When the three of them returned to the house, Zinian did not sit down, but stood in the hall and stomped his feet. When he was outside, he was frozen enough.
Although Confucius's house did not have a stove, it was very warm, perhaps because of the earthen walls and thatched houses. Good heat preservation effect.
Confucius found a thick straw mat and spread it on the opposite side of the desk, ready to sit for Zinian. Ha Lian felt embarrassed and went to the kitchen to boil the water.
"It's cold out there! Nearly froze me to death. Zinian muttered to himself.
"You're coming together? That? "Confucius calculated, it's been at least two hours, it's no wonder that you don't freeze to death in this winter?
"We have been entrusted to visit you!"
"Oh?"
"Great God, he asked us to protect you to go to the Song Kingdom! No! No! The great god asked us to learn both martial arts and literature, so we wanted to follow you to learn literature, and by the way, I accompanied you to the Song Kingdom. ”
"Thank you! Thank you, Great God! Thank you, uncle! It's him! He said I was a saint of the future! It's true! I'm Alexander! I'm really tired! It's true! I'm afraid I can't do it well, really! I'm going to disappoint Big Brother and disappoint you! It's true! Confucius said sincerely.
I thought, "Do you think of me as a saint?" Do you treat me as a teacher? You don't think of me? Especially the river lotus! I'm in front of her, me? I'm just a bad person! High IQ sin me?
And tonight! What do you mean? Test me?
OK! I didn't do anything out of the ordinary. Otherwise! Ha Lian is playing with me inside, and you are watching my jokes outside! No! It's to see my essence! Is that really the case? Who has I become? I?
Thinking about being tricked by Helian and Zi Nian, Confucius's face showed a crying expression.
"You really went to Song Kingdom? Go to the Song Kingdom to fulfill the marriage contract? You? Zinian moved his legs and feet a few times, sat down, and asked.
Confucius also sat down and said with a wry smile: "I am not only going to fulfill the marriage contract, but I also want to go back to my mother country to find the glory of my ancestors!" My ancestors are the royal family of the Song Kingdom! I? I don't know? Maybe? Live in Lu country, live in Qufu! No! Maybe it's me? I feel like I'm living too aggrieved! It's true! As the bloodline of the royal family of the Song Kingdom, I shouldn't be like this!
So! I want to go back to my home country! Look for a feeling! That kind of feeling that cheers me up. I feel it! In my father's time, I was still a sergeant, but in my generation, my sergeant status could not be preserved. Why? Am I a man of royal blood? I? Don't? Is it my Kongqiu who is incompetent?
So! I want to go back to Song! Find my lost soul!
Fulfilling the marriage contract is secondary! Because! I only heard my mother say it, but I don't even know that my father has a marriage contract with someone in the Song Kingdom? The key questions are these: one! Don't know who the other party is? Two! The person who has an agreement with my father, he has no daughter in his family, so he can only marry his granddaughter to me? The key question is? Does he have a granddaughter? Just like there was me back then?
So! I went to the Song Kingdom to fulfill the marriage contract, just to fulfill my father's promise, and I, Kong Qiu, did not go to blackmail other people's granddaughters! I? ”
Previously, Helian said that he wanted to go to the Song Kingdom to blackmail someone's granddaughter, which touched Confucius greatly.
Because! He is a poor man, and if people know that his family is poor, they may not be willing to marry. No! People don't necessarily admit that there is such a marriage contract. Can you believe the marriage contract made by your grandfather, and in that case?
You must fulfill the marriage contract, and there is really that kind of meaning of "blackmailing other people's granddaughters"!
Now that you know about this, you have to go to Song Kingdom to fulfill your father's wish. If? Daddy's friend really has a granddaughter, and! And promised to give you this granddaughter, and wait for you to marry?
It was precisely because of these considerations that Confucius decided to go to the Song Kingdom.
In the education received by Confucius, it was important to "keep your word". Their fathers were also "true to their word". So! Confucius decided to go to the Song Kingdom so as not to delay the youth of other girls.
But! He was also prepared in his heart, and after he went to the Song Kingdom, he did not mention the marriage contract first. Because! His family is poor, what if his granddaughter thinks he is poor, and he is not a scholar, and he is not willing to marry?
If that's the case? He didn't mention the marriage contract, and the other party certainly wouldn't mention it. So much better! It's not that I didn't come to fulfill the marriage contract, but! You have broken the marriage contract.
"You are a man of his word! It's the right thing to do! As it should be! Through what I have just observed with you, and what Helian told me before, I am convinced of you! Since the great gods believe in you and say that you are a future saint, I will believe you unconditionally!
Come on, come on! You sit down! Bow down to me! I worship you as a teacher! I want to learn from you! Be your disciple! I may not be able to be one of the top ten philosophers! I'm a martial artist, and I may not be ranked among the seventy-two disciples! I'll be your 3,000 disciples! ”
Zi Nian said, got up, knelt down respectfully, knelt in front of Confucius, and kowtowed to the teacher.
"You, you, you? You? Get up! I! I! I can't afford it! I can't stand it! ”
"I am your first disciple! I'm the boss! Hey! Zinian kowtowed, got up and sat back in his seat.
Haren lit the stove and boiled the water, and looked into the hall. Seeing Zinian's serious look, she was snickering.
Seeing that Confucius was still like that, thinking that Zinian was going to worship him as a teacher, Helian laughed even more.
She thought that Zi Nian was just teasing Confucius.
She didn't know that Zinian was serious.
Zinian has always been serious and has the qualities of a natural soldier, one is one, and two is two. Of course! Under the infection of the river lotus, sometimes it is occasionally naughty. But! The matter of kowtowing to Confucius is absolutely serious.
"Hey! Mr. Kong! My husband also asked me to worship you as a teacher, learn literature from you, and learn to be a man from you! Helian walked over with a smile, came to the place where Zinian knelt just now, and kowtowed to Confucius.
Confucius and Zinian both looked at her.
The first feeling of the two is: Helian is funny!
So! Zinian looked at her with the attitude of watching jokes. And what about Confucius! Naturally, I couldn't believe it. How could Helian worship him as a teacher? It's enough to not hit him.
And also! Accept her as a disciple? Joke! Will there be a division between master and apprentice in the future?
So! Confucius looked at her like a bystander.
