Chapter 44: A Friend Comes from Far Away

Fang Jishi came over and helped Meng Pi to sit down on a clean stone.

On the embankment, there are several large stones, which may have been moved by the young Confucius. Usually I sit alone and look at the river in a daze, or think about life. Sometimes, you may sit here with a few friends and be in a daze together.

"Mound!" Meng Pi saw that he hadn't seen Qiu Di out of the water for a while, so he couldn't help but shout: "You came out?" A friend has come to visit you! Friends from afar, the accent is not our local! Hill! ”

Fang Jishi counted it silently, which surprised him very much, the young Confucius's "Qi-holding Gong" was quite powerful. When they were in the special forces, they also practiced qi-holding exercises, and as a result! is not as powerful as the young Confucius's qi-holding skills.

After a few more moments, there was a big splash on the surface of the river, and a human head popped up.

The young man Kong Qiu wiped his face and let out another tragic cry: "Ah! ……”

While shouting, he shook the river above his head.

After a while, it seemed to come to his senses, and he looked around.

Meng Pi kept looking towards the river, and when he saw that Qiu Di was out of the water, he looked at it and did not speak. Seeing that Brother Qiu was looking at him, he shouted, "Qiu! Come back! Hill! ”

Fang Jishi was also looking at the young Confucius, and when he saw the young Confucius looking at him, he nodded at him.

Only then did the young Confucius notice it, pause for a moment, and quickly swam back.

Several guards saw that Kong Qiu's breath-holding skills were very powerful, and they couldn't help but look at each other differently. Silently, just watched quietly.

In their eyes, the young Kongqiu was nothing. It was the great god Fang Cornerstone who looked up to him and came to visit him, so they followed. In normal times, even if I saw him on the street in Qufu, I didn't bother to take care of him.

The young Confucius swam to the shore, and when he got to the shore, he hurriedly ran over and bowed to the cornerstone.

"Excuse me, uncle?" Young Confucius asked.

And then! Puzzled, he glanced at his brother Meng Pi. As if asking: Who is he? Who are they? How did you bring them here?

"I'm here to visit you!" Fang Jishi returned the salute and said with a smile.

Since he is a saint of the future, he should be treated with courtesy.

To tell the truth, the young Confucius in front of him really didn't have the magic eye to be able to enter the cornerstone.

I thought: With this thin bamboo pole boy in front of him, can he still become a generation of saints? With the dilapidated courtyard of his house, what other talent can a poor family have? In this troubled world, it is a blessing to be able to survive.

"Visit me?" The young Confucius pouted and said frankly: "I thought it was ......"

Just as he was about to say: I thought there was another dead person, please let me go and blow the trumpet to deal with the funeral!

"Not welcome?"

"No, no, no!" The young Confucius hurriedly explained: "It is very happy to have friends from afar! ”

"Hehehe! ......" Fang Jishi couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

Really! This sentence was said by Sage Kong!

In the Analects, the second sentence of the first article is: "It is a pleasure to have friends from afar." Hey! Seemingly? This is the mantra of Confucius and the sage Confucius.

The young Confucius arched his hand towards Fang Jishi and the others again, as if to say: Sorry

"I'll go back as soon as I go! Go and go back! ”

Talking! The young Confucius looked at his body.

He was wearing a linen robe. The linen robe was a little shorter, and it had the feeling of being hanging. Visible! At this time, the young Confucius was not fully developed, and his height was still growing. On top of his head, he wore long hair tied in a shawl. Because he is not an adult, he has not yet tied his hair and crowned it.

Fang Jishi nodded at him, and let him go.

He, the "distant guest" of the late saint for more than 2,000 years, is older than the Confucian saint. Thinking about the respect that the young Confucius had for him, Fang Jishi felt embarrassed.

Seeing that Sage Kong went to wring the water on his clothes, Fang Jishi remembered: It should be broadcast live?

Hey! What an opportunity! can broadcast the true face of the young Confucius more than 2,000 years ago, the ratings must be high, and the rewards must be wave after wave.

Thinking of this, he pulled out his phone.

But! After pulling the phone out, he put it back again.

No! Today, you don't need to broadcast live on your mobile phone, but live with your eyes. My eyes are the camera, and I just have to turn on the live stream in my brain.

Thinking of this, a virtual keyboard appeared in my brain, just like a tablet in front of me, press the button, and the webcast mode will be turned on. Before he had time to check the message in the live broadcast room, the young Confucius walked over.

The young Confucius combed his hair as he walked, tucking his hair back and sides of his head. The linen robe on his body may have been taken off and wrung into water, and it no longer drips.

Confucius, who walked back, arched his hand towards the square foundation stone again, expressing his apologies. And then! beckoned everyone to sit down on the stones.

"Brother!" The young Confucius nodded to Meng Pi and said, "You go back and prepare the meal first, and I'll talk to the uncle." ”

"Yes!" Meng Pi agreed, and stood up.

"No, you don't! No! Fang Jishi hurriedly stopped. And then! He said to one of the guards: "You go back with your brother, buy some wine and food, and don't want your brother to break the bank." ”

"Definitely! Definitely! The young Confucius stopped: "You are guests, I am the master, everything should be entertained by me, this is the courtesy!" ”

"Hahaha!" Fang Jishi said with a smile: "I have seen the living conditions of your family, so you don't have to break the bank!" O us people! All you can eat! ”

"Definitely! Definitely! The young Confucius said anxiously: "Qiu just came back from helping people deal with the funeral in the city, and he got more than one or two pieces of silver, which is enough!" Enough! ”

"What are you still polite to me? Bodyguard! Don't break the bank! You know what? Fang Jishi said loudly to the guards who walked away.

"It's not rude! It's not polite! ”

"What are you still polite to me? Don't be pedantic! If you treat me as an uncle, don't fight! We speak! Tell me about you! Do you also practice 'Qi-holding Gong'? ”

Fang Jishi said, pointing to the river with his hand and asked.

The other guards listened, looked at the young Confucius one by one, and laughed.

The young Confucius's face changed, and then he smiled bitterly again. He hurriedly arched his hands and bowed to express his apology.

"I'm thinking? Why is life like this? Why is my life the way it is? Shouldn't it be like this? It's true! No! I'm a taxi! My ancestors have meritorious service to the country! I ......"

Fang Jishi stopped: "That's because you are a concubine ......"

"It's not a matter of concubines! This is because too many people in this world have messed up the etiquette, and they have not obeyed the weekly etiquette and the weekly system, so they have become like this......" The young Confucius interrupted.

"Don't you think?" Fang Jishi wanted to say: Don't you think that she in your family (Shi's: the wife of Confucius's uncle Liang Su) is deliberately rejecting you and your brother Mengpi?

Meng Pi is also a concubine, and he was not born to the Shi family. In addition, he had a leg disease and could not work, so he was also thrown out.

Listening to the words of the young Confucius, he did not complain about his own one, but! The root cause is blamed on the world's lack of respect for etiquette and etiquette.

Visible! Our future saints have been thinking about deeper problems since they were teenagers, and they don't complain or recite the Shi Niang who caused their suffering.

Although Fang Jishi is historically illiterate, he still heard about it when he was at the Confucius Institute in the island country. Because Confucius and Meng Pi are both concubines, so! The Shi clan of the main room rejected them, drove them out of the house, and did not inherit any ancestral inheritance, which caused the young Confucius and Meng Pi to live a miserable life.
