was rejected so directly by the Duke of Song, Confucius couldn't believe it. But he still accepted the reality and endured it. It's true! There is that unexpected, reasonable feeling.

He couldn't stay in Song anymore, so he decided to go to Zheng Guo.

Originally! He thought: If it is possible, I will go back to my ancestral hometown, which can be regarded as good news! I still didn't lose face when I was driven out by Lu Guo, and I became an official in Weiguo, which can be regarded as saving face, and I can go home to save my relatives. Can now? When it was cold to Song Gong, he felt that he had no face to go back.

Yan Hui hadn't followed him yet, and he didn't know what Yan Hui's plans were. So! After leaving the capital of the Song Kingdom, he did not leave in a hurry, and while walking slowly, he sent someone to inquire.

No, no day! Yan Hui rushed over.

"Back? You? "Confucius was both a surprise and a complaint. "What about your wife and children?" ”

"Sir! I let them go back to Lu! Yan Hui said excitedly.

"Back to Lu country?" When Confucius heard this, his face turned gloomy on the spot.

Yan Hui explained: "Not here! If you don't have a field, you can only rely on part-time jobs to survive, and you can't last much time. In the country of Lu! My family still has more than a dozen acres of thin land, and I can barely survive. Not only can she take care of the baby, but she can also take care of my parents......"

"What about her parents?" Confucius asked.

"She also has a younger brother who has grown up and can take care of her own parents. When I was leaving, I gave all the money I had to them. My wife and children live in their house, not only can they not take care of her parents, but they will also add to the burden on their family......"

Confucius interrupted: "You can rest assured that her mother and son will return to Lu Kingdom?" Return! Are you so confused? ”

"Hehehe!" Yan Hui smiled: "Don't worry! Uncle Fang escorted them back! ”

"Big brother? Big brother him? Hearing that the eldest brother Fang Jishi escorted Yan Hui's wife and children back to Lu State, Confucius was relieved. It is! Since leaving the country, the cornerstone of the eldest brother Fang has evaporated from the world. Originally! He has been secretly following us.

"Did your Uncle Fang say anything when he left?" Confucius asked.

Yan Hui looked at Confucius, and then looked at the other people around him, he didn't want to say it, but he said it after thinking about it. There is nothing that cannot be said, and it is good for Mr. to say it. Uncle Fang didn't say that he couldn't do it to others, but just asked him to tell Mr.

Uncle Fang said! This is just the beginning, Mr. can also go to Zheng Guo and other countries to have a look, and it will only be the same result. Uncle Fang also said that it is best to go to Chen Guo and stay in Chen Guo for a few more days. Uncle Fang said! Chen is Lao Tzu's homeland, Lao Tzu lived in seclusion in his homeland for a few years in his early years, and there are many people who have heard the sermon, and he may be able to meet a few more hermits who have attained the Tao. It is good for the gentleman to listen to the Taoist teachings more. ”

Yan Hui explained Uncle Fang's explanation in detail.

Confucius nodded incessantly and agreed.

"Uncle is really! We have been following us all the time, but we don't know it! What a weirdo! Hehehe! Zilu said with a smile.

"What else did you say, uncle?" Confucius asked again.

Uncle Fang also said that after coming out for so long, he should also go back and report his safety to his family. Other than that! He also wanted to inquire, how is Ji Huanzi's condition? If Ji Huanzi dies, Mr. can return to Lu State. ”

"Oh?" When Confucius heard this, he was particularly disappointed. He sat there with his head bowed and didn't speak again for a long time. It's not that he cursed Ji Huanzi to die, it's really like that: Ji Huanzi doesn't die, and he can't go back to Lu Guo.

Uncle Fang also said! He'll be back soon, he's waiting for us in Chen! Yan recalled and added.

Zilu smiled: "Uncle Fang is so confident? Will it be the same in Jeongkook? If? What about being an official in Zheng Guo? Or? How about we open another school in Zhengguo? If only we had a school, we would have been able to stay a little longer. No! You can live for a long time. ”

"What if Zheng Guo also has a Sima Huan Wei?" Min Ziqian replied on the side.

"You don't speak, no one treats you like a dumb person! Crow's beak! Zilu shouted angrily.

The group didn't know what the future was, and they had that feeling of confusion. So! Still walking slowly. During this period, news came from the country of Lu: Duke Lu was critically ill.

Hearing that Lu Gong was critically ill, Confucius was very sad. He really wanted to go back to Lu and have a visit. But now, on the surface, he was ordered to preach in the world. Actually! was kicked out by Ji Huanzi, but he couldn't go back to his home.

"Didn't Brother Fang say? Is Ji Huanzi sick? How is Lu Gong? Confucius asked with tears in his eyes.

When everyone saw that Confucius was sad, they didn't dare to make a sound. I don't know how to persuade Mr., if I don't persuade well, it will make Mr. feel even worse.

Zilu couldn't hold back a little and said, "Or? Let's secretly go back to Lu to see what the situation is? ”

When Confucius heard this, he looked at Zilu with some panic and didn't speak for a long time.

It was precisely because he heard that Lu Gong was critically ill that he passed by Zheng Guo this time, Confucius did not stop, and hurried to Chen Guo, preparing to go to Lao Tzu's hometown, waiting for Fang Jishi, and inquiring about the specific situation of Lu Guo.

Originally! Confucius wanted to go to Zheng Guo to worship his son.

When Confucius heard the news, he was very sad and praised the child as the bereaved love of the ancients.

Since learning the news that Lu Gong is critically ill, Confucius has asked the students to speed up their walking, hoping to reach Chen Guo as soon as possible and join his eldest brother Fang Jishi. With Fang Jishi's ability, it will not take long to escort Yan Hui's wife and children back to Qufu City in Lu State, and he will soon be able to reach Chen State.

In order to wait for the arrival of the cornerstone, Confucius and his entourage went directly to Lao Tzu's hometown, where they waited while inquiring about the reclusive hermit, and did not go to the capital of the Chen State.

After the events of the Song Kingdom, Confucius did not want to go to Chen Gong to run into a wall. So! I didn't go to the capital.

lived in the countryside of Chen Guo for a while, and in the blink of an eye, in the autumn, he did not wait for the news of Fang Jishi, but the news of the Duke of Luding came. Confucius was very disappointed and sad. Ji Huanzi is still alive and still presides over the political affairs of the Lu State.

He lived in seclusion in Chen State for a period of time, without any news of Fang Jishi, and he was desperate. Knowing that Big Brother Fang Cornerstone may be coming, but! Reluctance to meet with him.

One day, Confucius received a letter from the envoy of the Wei Dynasty, and the Wei Gong asked him to return to the Wei Guo in a hurry to discuss important matters. Q: What happened to the envoy to defend the country? Under his questioning, the envoy whispered to him: Wei Gong is in poor health, and he may have been invited to go back to explain the future.

Case! Confucius had to lead his students back to defend the country. That's fine! Save a little face for yourself this failed trip.

Since the eldest brother Fang Jishi refused to come out to meet, Confucius did not fulfill the contract anymore, and left the next day to return to defend the country.

Zigong also rushed over after dealing with the affairs of the school. He was familiar with the recent situation of the patriotic state, and also suggested that Confucius return to the patriotic state. In the Patriotic Nation! Mr. still has a face, and he has the name of a sage.
