Chapter 43: Farewell
Ji Fuzi's courtyard was not closed, and Mr. Sun and An Yang walked in directly. The big white goose in the yard squatted in the goose shed in the pen, and fell asleep with its head stuck in its feathers around its neck.
Ji Fuzi was in the school, holding a scroll and flipping through it. Hearing the movement, he looked up and looked at Mr. Sun and An Yang who walked into the school.
"Teacher." Mr. Sun stood in the study, holding his two hands, and waved at Mr. Ji.
An Yang, who was next to him, also bowed down and saluted: "Fourth grandfather." ”
Ji Fuzi looked at An Yang, who was bent straight behind his back, with doubts on his face: "Who are you carrying?" He asked, comparing the position next to him.
"A girl in the village." An Yang replied truthfully, but did not sit down in the position that Ji Fuzi compared. Just stand still.
"The doll in the village?" Ji Fuzi said, his brows furrowed, looked at Anyang, and then looked at Mr. Sun: "Aren't you leaving?" What do you do with a doll? ”
Mr. Sun's mouth flattened, sat down in the position of Ji Fuzi, and said with a sigh: "I was entangled by her, I can't do it, I can only take her with me." ”
When Ji Fuzi heard this, he looked at An Yang, frowned, let go again, and then lowered his head: "That's it, you can decide for yourself." ”
As he spoke, he suddenly stopped, raised his head and raised his eyebrows to look at An Yang: "But the female doll of Xi Shi?" ”
Hearing this, An Yang paused, and then nodded: "The fourth grandfather knows her?" ”
"She's my student." Ji Fuzi said, sighed, and shook his head: "She didn't entangle Zhongni, but she did." ”
As he spoke, Ji Fuzi paused, looked up at An Yang and Mr. Sun, and said slowly: "She is very mischievous, you have to take her with you." ”
Listening to Ji Fuzi's words, Mr. Sun's brows furrowed: "No, she told me that she would be very well-behaved." ”
Ji Fuzi listened to Mr. Sun's words, put the scroll in his hand down, and coughed: "You dare to believe her words." It looks very well-behaved, and there are a lot of yin ideas. ”
Mr. Sun listened to Ji Fuzi's words, and his whole brow furrowed.
"That's it, you all promised to take her away, and now it's useless to regret it." Ji Fuzi sighed and said, then picked up the scroll on the table and said slowly: "Take her with peace of mind." ”
Mr. Sun turned his head to look at Shi Yiguang, who was sleeping on Anyang's back, frowned and sighed, then turned his head, looked at Master Ji, and said, "I came today to say goodbye to my master." ”
Ji Fuzi listened and put down the bamboo roll he picked up again. He raised his head, looked at Mr. Sun, swept his gaze over Anyang again, and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Mr. Sun pursed his lips, turned his head to look at An Yang, who was standing next to him, and then looked back at Ji Fuzi: "Chu State." ”
"Chu State?" Ji Fuzi's brows furrowed slightly, he tilted his head and looked at An Yang: "But what do you mean?" ”
An Yang nodded in response: "It's the meaning of the kid." ”
When Ji Fuzi heard this, he shook his head: "In the fourteenth year of King Jing of Zhou, my king led Mr. and Zixu to attack Chu, broke the Yingdu, and King Chu Zhao fled. Zixu dug up the grave and whipped the king's corpse. Now that the state of Chu has only been set for six years, if Mr. goes to Chu with An Yang and is discovered, his life is in danger. (Note 1)
Mr. Sun listened to Ji Fuzi's words, listened, and nodded: "I understand the worries of the first master, and when I go to Chudi, how can I not worry about Anyang?" As he spoke, he turned his head to look at An Yang, who was standing and frowning. After that, he turned his head again, looked at Master Ji, and said slowly: "King Chu Zhao is virtuous, and the national strength of Chu is still recovering, who knows if you will repay my king's revenge for humiliating the country back then?" This time, I went to find out the internal affairs of the country. ”
Ji Fuzi listened to Mr. Sun's words, raised his feet, put one hand on his knees, and supported the cushion on which he sat down with the other, looking at the rain outside the house, which had become lighter, and did not speak.
"Second, Anyang and I were preparing to go north to enter Qi, but Changsang Jun told me that Yue Wang Yunchang was seriously ill, and there must be a dispute between Wu and Yue. With the hatred between Wu and Chu, the Yue State was blessed by the Chu State, if Chu and Yue joined forces, the southwest of our country would be the enemy, and the east would face the sea, and it would be difficult to escape the defeat. Therefore, he went to Chu and recommended Chu people to avoid it incognito. Mr. Sun sat down, looked at Ji Fuzi and said.
"Who do you recommend?" Ji Fuzi looked at the courtyard and asked again.
Mr. Sun sat upright and replied, "Chu State ordered Yin Zixi." ”
"Sir's military talent is above me, I can only count that there is a battle between Wu and Yue. The survival of the specific country and the co-optation of hidden recommendations, Mr. himself decides. Ji Fuzi was still sitting with his legs bent, he withdrew his gaze from looking at the courtyard, looked at Mr. Sun and said.
Mr. Sun nodded, and suddenly thought of something, he raised his eyes and looked at Ji Fuzi: "It's expected...... The ancestor can calculate that there is a battle between Wu and Yue," Mr. Sun said, paused and turned his head to look at Shi Yiguang who was carrying An Yang's back.
Then he looked back at Master Ji again, with surprise between his eyebrows: "This daughter actually said this." ”
Ji Fuzi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and his eyes turned to the little daughter who was lying on Anyang's shoulder and snoring softly: "What did she say?" ”
"Let's just say that there should be a battle between Wu and Yue." Mr. Sun said, his brows furrowed, and he said, "Even the date is the same as what the ancestor said. ”
"When?" Ji Fuzi asked.
Mr. Sun looked at Ji Fuzi, pursed his lips, and said softly: "About three years in the future." ”
Ji Fuzi was silent when he heard this, and after a while, he looked at Shi Yiguang on An Yang's back: "If this is the case, it may not be a bad thing for you to go to Chu State this time, and bring her with you." ”
"That's what the master said." Mr. Sun responded. Then he looked up at Ji Fuzi: "The first master has been in Yuedi for a long time, if it starts to change today, does the first master have a plan?" ”
Ji Fuzi listened to Mr. Sun's words, did not nod or shake his head, but said slowly: "Zhong Ni is looking for me, after you leave, I will probably leave." ”
"Master Kong is here to hire a teacher?" Mr. Sun sat on the mat and asked respectfully.
Ji Fuzi nodded: "I answered Zhongni, and at the beginning of spring next year, I will go to Lu to watch the Zhou ceremony." ”
The rain outside the yard had stopped, Ji Fuzi looked at the sky outside, got up, turned around and walked to the backyard: "It's not early, the carriage is ready, you guys should go on the road." ”
Hearing this, Mr. Sun and Anyang both followed.
The rain has stopped. The clouds in the sky have not yet dispersed. The grass in the backyard sprouted up, and the old and the new were clustered together, filling the yard with life. Ji Fuzi stepped on the bluestone slab paved in the yard, walked to the carriage that had been prepared, untied the horses tied to the pillars, held the horse rope in one hand, turned to look at An Yang and Mr. Sun who were following behind, and handed over the horse rope in his hand: "Slow down on the road." ”
Mr. Sun took a step forward, took the horse rope handed by Ji Fuzi, and bowed down: "Huh." After answering, he turned around, took Shi Yiguang behind Anyang, put it in the carriage, and then got out of the car, followed Anyang, and made a big salute to Master Ji:
"Boy, go ahead."
After finishing speaking, he got into the carriage and walked slowly towards the courtyard.
Ji Fuzi stood in the courtyard, watching the Qingbu carriage driving on the muddy road, getting farther and farther, and let out a long sigh, full of reluctance.
