Chen Xiaoshu sat on the donkey cart and looked at the scenery outside, she now understood what it meant to return to her heart like an arrow.

She and Chen Linxiao have been here for half a year, and before they know it, in their hearts, the place called Sanhe Village has become their home.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to Sanhe Village, Chen Xiaoshu's mood also jumped.

At the same time, Chen Linxiao was undergoing a test in the academy.

"Lin Xiao, let me ask you, if someone deceives you, insults you, or slanders you, what should you do?"

Mr. Zhufeng sat across from Chen Linxiao and asked.

Lin Xiao frowned, in the face of such a great Confucian scholar, he naturally knew what to say was the best. It is nothing more than a set of tolerance and a lot of repaying grievances with virtue, but this set is despised by Chen Linxiao from the heart, and he agrees more with how to repay grievances with virtue.

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed in Chen Linxiao's heart, and he arched his hand and said to Pang Qingyi: "Mr. Hui's words, students don't dare to deceive, if someone deceives me, insults me and slanders me, I will definitely try every means to retaliate back, even if I can't retaliate, I will choose to die and never get along, I will never be able to repay my grievances with virtue." ”

Hearing this, Pang Qingyi looked at the immature student in front of him with a complicated expression, touched the beard under his chin, and said, "Is it because of your brothers that you have so much strength in your heart?" ”

Chen Linxiao glanced at Pang Qingyi in surprise when he heard this, and soon calmed down, he was not surprised by how Pang Qingyi knew about his grievances with the Chen family's old mansion.

"Part of the reason for Mr. Hui is." Chen Linxiao organized the language in his heart and said, "Of course, the saint hopes that everyone in this world is a saint and can not make mistakes, this is obviously unrealistic, as the so-called people are not saints and sages, who can be without fault, know that mistakes can be changed, and good is great, if an individual makes a mistake, then the basis for judging him to change his mind and become a new person should be whether the person is truly repentant in his heart, not whether the person who has been hurt by him has forgiven him." ”

Chen Linxiao said and glanced up at Pang Qingyi, only to see Pang Qingyi's expressionless face, so he continued: "Students think that whether or not to forgive the person who made a mistake should be the victim's own right, and has nothing to do with others. Because even a saint may not be able to truly empathize with the victim from the perspective of the victim, since we cannot understand the pain of the victim, then we have no right to make a decision to forgive or not to forgive on his behalf. And if a person has done something wrong, and he has been forgiven because of the broad-mindedness of others, is the cost of doing something wrong too low? If this is the case, one cannot admonish the person, and the other cannot admonish the one who comes after. ”

When Pang Qingyi heard this, he glanced at Chen Linxiao in surprise and said, "Have you also read the theory of the Legalists?" ”

Chen Linxiao's brows furrowed when he heard this question, he knew that Confucianism and Legalism had been mortal enemies since ancient times, he thought for a moment and said: "Mr. Hui's students have not studied Legalist books deeply, but students still agree with some of Legalism's remarks. ”

Pang Qingyi sighed helplessly when he heard this, waved his hand and said, "That's it, you can start learning with me from tomorrow." ”

Chen Linxiao glanced at Pang Qingyi in surprise when he heard this, he really didn't expect that after he said something that agreed with the Legalist theory, Pang Qingyi would still be willing to accept him as an apprentice.

"Sir, why is that?"

Chen Linxiao still asked the question in his heart.

Pang Qingyi touched the beard under his chin and said: "There are three reasons, the first is naturally because you are talented and intelligent, and the old man can't bear to see you being buried; The second is because you have never thought of flattery in front of me, but can boldly say what is in your heart, I have seen many geniuses over the years, but there are very few who can say what you think in your heart without shying away from it; As for the third, hehe, I'll tell you later. ”

After Pang Qingyi finished speaking, he looked at Chen Linxiao, who was still in a sluggish state, and deliberately lowered his face and said, "What?" You don't want to be my disciple? ”

Although Chen Linshu was surprised, he was not a real fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy after all, so he quickly came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "Of course not, the disciple will meet the master." ”

Chen Linxiao said and slammed his head on the ground.

Seeing this, Pang Qingyi waved his hand and said: "There is no need to make this big gift, wait for me to find a good day and an auspicious day, and then officially perform the ceremony of worshipping the teacher." ”

"Yes, master." Chen Linxiao said when he heard this.

…………

Guan Luxin heard that Mr. Zhufeng had met Chen Linxiao in person again, and he was happy for Chen Linxiao in his heart, but he was also a little disappointed.

Happily, he and Chen Linxiao are good friends, if Chen Linxiao can really become a disciple of Mr. Zhufeng, it will be a great thing for Chen Linxiao, which means that Chen Linxiao's future must be very bright.

What is a little disappointed is that he came to Qingniu Town from the provincial capital to study, that is, he became a disciple of Mr. Zhufeng, but now Mr. Zhufeng does not value himself.

But soon, Guan Yuxin's inner happiness overpowered the loss.

Seeing Chen Linxiao coming out of Mr. Zhufeng's house, he hurriedly walked up and asked, "How is it?" What did Mr. Zhufeng say? ”

Chen Linxiao looked at Guan Luxin with a worried look, and nodded slowly under his expectant gaze.

Guan Luxin said happily after seeing this scene: "I knew it, I knew that Lin Xiao you would definitely be able to do it." ”

Chen Linxiao naturally knew that Guan Luxin had always hoped that he could become Mr. Zhufeng's disciple, so he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother Guan, I'm sorry. ”

Guan Luxin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, besides, even if I don't have you, I can't become Mr. Zhufeng's disciple, people like Mr. have always preferred to be lacking rather than excessive, how can they be compromised?" ”

Chen Linxiao naturally knew this truth, but he couldn't help but feel a little guilty about Guan Luxin in his heart.

Guan Luxin looked at Chen Linxiao and said, "If you really don't want to go, then you can invite me to dinner." ”

Chen Linxiao smiled when he heard this: "Ah, no problem, you can eat anywhere, you have the final say, I will settle the bill." ”

"Hahaha, that's what you said, then I'm welcome." Guan Luxin deliberately laughed and said, "I know that your lady has recently opened a new workshop, so you must have been making money in your family recently." ”

Chen Linxiao shook his head helplessly when he heard this, and said, "Listen, listen, is this like what the eldest young master of the Guan family in the provincial capital said?" If others were happy, they might envy my family, but you, hum! ”

"Hahaha"

The two teenagers walked out of the door of the academy with their shoulders hooked.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on them, reflecting a sincere heart.
