Chapter 308: River Lotus Apprenticeship
"Boom! Boom! Boom! β
After Ha Lian kowtowed three times, she lay there, waiting for the teacher to help her up. Outcome! Didn't wait. Opposite! What I waited for was Zinian's laughter.
"Hahaha......"
Zi Nian looked at Helian and smiled: "Knock! Knock again! β
Confucius sat there, indifferent, and just looked at her.
"You just knocked your head three times!" Ha Lian asked suspiciously.
"Knock again!" Zi Nian teased quietly: "I only kowtowed three times just now, and the teacher helped me up." And you! Do you still have to knock? If you don't knock, how can the teacher help you? Zhou Li said that there is no specific number of kowtows! The more you knock, the more sincere you are! You know what? Kowtow! β
Zi Nian couldn't help but smile and said.
Helian thought it was true, and kowtowed three times.
"Get up! It's the same if you kowtow or not! "At this time! Confucius said.
"Me?" Helian answered, wanting to justify.
"Who knows if you really worship me as a teacher in your heart? What do you learn from me as a teacher? Learn to be a bad guy? Learn high-tech, high-IQ crimes, or learn from me to blackmail a girl? Still is? Learn from me to pretend to fight, but in fact take the opportunity to touch it? I'm Kongqiu, ...... this character."
"Me? I? Helian interrupted: "I am willing to worship you as a teacher because I listened to my husband's words." Do you stand it? β
"Apprenticeship should be sincere and convincing......"
"Do you want to stand it?" Helian asked again.
"Listen to me! If you are not convinced, how can you apprentice? β¦β¦β
"Don't pull it down! I bowed six times to the gods of heaven and earth! Cut! Virtue! Just your character! What about the Master of the World? β
As she spoke, she got up in a huff and went to the kitchen.
"Hahaha......" Zi Nian looked at her angry appearance and laughed.
Confucius also turned his head to look at the back of the river lotus, and then! Shaking his head and smiling bitterly: "Who knows if she is playing with you again?" Isn't it? If I went up to help her, she would laugh at me and take herself seriously, and she said she was making fun of me. If I pretend I don't care, she'll have a story. That's it! β
"So! You're going to have to make it clear to her. Outcome! She ran out of patience and ran away! Hahaha......" Zinian laughed.
He Lian added a fire under the stove, ran over angrily, pointed to Confucius's nose with her finger, and said loudly, "I mean it!" It was my husband who made me worship you as a teacher! Otherwise? I don't believe you! Hum! β
Finished! Went to the kitchen again. After a while, the boiling water was boiled, and two cups of tea were brewed. When I got back to the kitchen, I made myself another cup of tea. And then! He came to the desk with a teacup, sat down, looked at Confucius with a pair of angry eyes, and then glared at Zi Nian.
Confucius glanced at Helian and turned his gaze away from her.
"Don't look at indecent things", I don't look at you!
"What about my uncle? What about the great gods? Confucius asked Zi Nian.
"I don't know? Listen to Helian, he? He? Zi Nian lowered his voice and said, "He is not in the Lu Palace, but!" He didn't want anyone to know that he wasn't home. I should have gone out to do something big, and I didn't want people to know. β
"I heard? Not long ago, there seemed to be an assassin in the Lu Palace, what else? I didn't hear exactly what it was! If others don't talk about it, it's inconvenient for me to inquire. It seems that the people of Chu assassinated Lu Gong or who assassinated? β
"Chu people? Assassinate? Zi Nian asked in surprise.
"Who? It can't be Wu Yi, right? Helian was also surprised.
When she returned to Lu Palace, Duke Lu didn't tell her this, and the two concubines in the family didn't tell her this.
"I don't know? I? I've been very busy lately, and I don't have time to go to Lu Palace, me? I'm anxious about me? β
"The two concubines told me, let me and Brother Zinian follow you! Go to the Song Kingdom. Protect you, learn from you, and say nothing else. People are sincere in kowtowing to you, but you don't accept it! You? Helian whispered.
"Learning from someone doesn't have to be apprenticed. Others do it, you watch from the side, pay attention, it's learning! Teaching by word and deed is a method, and subtlety is also a method. Confucius explained.
"So what do you mean? Don't kowtow to the apprentice? Helian said.
"Kowtow is just a superficial form, and it is true to be convinced in the heart! What's the use of you saying you're kowtowing? You treat me like a teacher? Confucius asked rhetorically.
"Me?" Helian paused for a moment and defended: "If you are not worthy of being a teacher, I will not treat you as a teacher!" I'm still beating you! Believe it or not? β
Seeing Confucius looking at her with a black line on his face, Helian said loudly again: "If you are not worthy of being a teacher!" I'll hit you! Don't believe it, don't you? If you don't believe me, just wait to be beaten! Hum! β
Talking! Ha Lian snorted and stood up.
"With you! Will there be a division between master and apprentice in this world in the future? Zinian said with a smile.
"I don't want to be a teacher, but I want to be without fault in life! If only you didn't get beaten! Alas! Confucius laughed self-deprecatingly.
He already knew that Helian was a person with this kind of character, and he might not be able to change it in this life. Her personality is almost finalized.
You call her stupid, right? She's better than a ghost!
You say she's fine, right? She is sometimes stupid and naΓ―ve!
"You have her as a disciple, you will always feel better! Teacher! Hey! Zinian couldn't help but laugh.
"But too!" Confucius's face changed, and he said seriously: "Whether there is a disciple of her or not, I, Confucius, must be a serious person, and I don't need others to supervise me." I remember my uncle said to me: as a soldier, no matter whether you have a superior leader or not, no matter where you are, you must not forget: you are a soldier! β¦β¦β
Zi Nian interrupted: "On the road of life, where can you not make mistakes and mistakes? So! I think it's a good thing to have someone like Helian by your side to remind you! β
Confucius nodded: "Yes!" β
"If you really don't do anything wrong, I, Helian, am willing to kowtow to you a hundred times, and worship you as a teacher with joy and sincerity!" Ha Lian said on the side.
"Then you didn't kowtow just now as an apprentice?" Confucius asked, turning his head.
"Not counting!" Helian replied angrily.
"My mother taught me to be honest and study hard since I was a child. But my Kong Qiu has limited talent, so I can't do it well! I hope so! I can accept you as a disciple, make you happy and convinced, and kowtow to me a hundred times. I think? By that time, I was probably already doing well. Otherwise? You won't be convinced! I'll definitely work hard! β¦β¦β
"You're doing this to be my Helian's teacher?"
"No!" Confucius replied, "Be yourself!" β
"Master of All Worlds!" Zinian said.
"Alexander!" Confucius shook his head and sighed!
"Brother Zinian! Look at him! He really thinks of himself as a green onion! Also Alexander? β
