"Knowing Prudence" is an early work written by Ji Yuan, a great Confucian of the time, and it is also Ji Yuanzhi's most controversial work.

Because the content of this prudence is rough, it is not promoting Confucianism and Taoism, but talking about gods, ghosts and demons.

In the book, the great Confucian Ji Yuan used a bizarre and bizarre fable of gods and ghosts to warn the world that they must not be afraid of ghosts, gods and demons!

This is contrary to the idea of ghosts and gods in Confucianism and Taoism in the world.

"Dafu Confucianism, pay attention to righteousness like a rainbow, gods and ghosts! Many great Confucians once wrote poems to ridicule those who worship ghosts and gods, such as the sentence "God is disgusted with the gods and rejoices in the teacher's face, and sends the gods to return to the green mountains", the great Confucian Ji Yuanzhi wrote such a book "Zhishen" in the early days, and everyone doubted him, but he did not explain, but later rarely mentioned the gods and ghosts. ”

Lu Jing read carefully, and at first felt that the many strange things in "Zhishen" were quite strange, but when he looked at it, he had some understanding.

"In every story, there are good people and bad people, as well as good ghosts and evil gods...... Since Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism all need to revere human nature, they should naturally also revere the nature of ghosts and gods, so as not to suffer from the misfortune of demons and demons. ”

"This is to teach the world to protect themselves, not to think that gods and ghosts are superior."

After reading a fable about a neighbor's family eating out of a house and being asked for his life by evil ghosts, Lu Jing felt that he had gained a lot.

However, although the three veins of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism in this world have different views on gods, ghosts and demons, none of them deny the existence of ghosts and gods...... Confucianism, Taoism, and Confucianism all wrote books about gods and ghosts, does it mean that there are really demons, ghosts, gods and demons in this world? ”

Lu Jing couldn't help but doubt: "This world is different from the world in my previous life, at least, this Lu Mansion has a martial artist who can easily move at least a ton of stone lions at the door."

In the imperial court scientific examination, scholars who want to gain fame also need to practice martial arts, and they need to be proficient in riding, archery, and swords...... This is anything but unusual. ”

"It's just a pity that the third young master of the Lu family, who was originally the third young master, rarely had the opportunity to leave the mansion since he was a child, and even the Lu Mansion Library Pavilion could not enter and leave at will, and the memories he left me were also very vague.

Lu Jing was pondering when a soft voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Young Master Jing......"

"It's Qingyue here." Lu Jing's thoughts were interrupted, but he was not angry.

In less than a few breaths, a dark wood food box was placed on the stone table in front of Lu Jing's eyes.

"Young Master Jing, although reading is important, lunch is just as important, I have been waiting for you for a long time, but I haven't seen you come back, so I have to carry this food box everywhere to find you."

A young girl complained trivially.

The girl was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wrapped in light blue plain clothes, wearing a wooden hairpin on her head, her hair was black, and her face was not powdered but a little elegant.

Especially a pair of willow eyes, it adds a bit of gentleness.

"I first went to the old locust tree you frequented the most, and you weren't there, and then I found here, and the hot food was cold again."

Qingyue is Lu Jing's maid.

To be precise, she is the only maid in Lu Jingfang.

Since Lu Jing was eight years old, Qingyue, who was one year older than him, had been by his side.

At that time, they were all young, and Lu Jing's mother was still there, so Qingyue would play with Lu Jing on weekdays, at most doing some trivial things.

Later, her mother died, and Qingyue's age also grew, and she became the most qualified maid.

His hut is not big, it is well organized by Qingyue, and even the food on the table is made by Qingyue.

原本像是九湖陆家这样的世族贵胄，各院里都是有膳房的。

It's just that the dining room may be "too busy", and the quality of the meals delivered from the mother's lifetime is indescribable.

It's either too cold, overnight, or the amount of food is too small.

So later, errands such as cooking were also taken over by Qingyue, and in the past few years, Lu Jing and Qingyue have always been like this.

“今早我去采买，发现小青菜又涨价了，便买了些白菜回来，只是没从膳房里的刘师傅那里要来些醋，就只能就着些盐煮熟了。”

"This meat was sent by Miss Qiang, and it is very tender...... Miss Qiang is really kind-hearted, she is also under the fence of Lu Mansion, but she has repeatedly brought us food......"

Qingyue took out the two dishes and warm rice in the food box, and gently told Lu Jing about these trivial things.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Lu Jing listened to Qingyue's nagging, and took the dishes and chopsticks handed over by Qingyue.

To a certain extent, Qingyue's existence prevented Lu Jing from being defeated by something like "suddenly crossing into a strange world".

Moreover, Lu Jing could see that Qingyue really regarded Lu Jing as a relative who depended on each other.

Even though her identity is a lowly maid, she still cares about Lu Jing from the bottom of her heart.

"Qingyue, your craftsmanship is getting better and better."

Lu Jing finished the meal in front of him slowly, and praised Qingyue sincerely.

Qingyue's face was slightly red, knowing that this was her own young master encouraging her.

She knew that the food she cooked was "not unpalatable" compared to the food in the dining room.

Moreover, cooking is a technical job in such an era, and in this era, technical work is generally dedicated to the service of "dignitaries".

The main attribute of the diet of most people is to fill their stomachs, not to satisfy their palate.

In such a situation, no one wants to hand over their skills to someone unrelated to make a living.

So Qingyue has always had to explore by herself.

In addition, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, without all kinds of spices in the dining room, and even the oil and salt have to be carefully calculated, where can the cooked food be delicious?

"It's getting colder and colder these days." Qingyue knew that her young master was "bullying" her, and she felt embarrassed, so she took the initiative to change the topic: "As the saying goes, the autumn wind is the most penetrating, and the young master has to change his autumn clothes when he goes out tomorrow, otherwise if he gets a cold, this winter will be even more difficult." ”

Speaking of autumn clothes, Qingyue bit her lip: "By the way, this morning Steward Liu sent someone to deliver a letter and asked me to get the autumn clothes, I don't know what the autumn clothes are this time......"

"In previous years, Young Master Jing's autumn clothes, Mo said, compared with the brocade clothes of several other young ladies and young masters, that is, compared with the children of the housekeepers, the materials are much worse, I hope this time it can be thicker."

Lu Jing took the initiative to help Qingyue put the dishes and chopsticks into the food box, and still smiled: "The material is fine, if the material is too thin, it happens that last year's autumn clothes are small, and the old autumn clothes are put on the underwear, and then the new clothes are just right, and it is still very hot at noon, and it is easy to sweat if you wear too much." ”

Qing Yue turned her head sideways, and when she saw the calm smile on Lu Jing's face, she felt more and more that the young master had become much warmer in the past three months.

"In the past, when the young master encountered this kind of thing, he would grit his teeth and grieve angrily, and complain to himself, but now he is much more mature."

Thinking of this, Qingyue couldn't help but feel very sorry for Lu Jing.

"The young master may have resigned himself to his fate, right? After studying poetry and books for eight or nine years, he has never been able to participate in the children's examination because he has never practiced riding and archery, nor has he ever practiced swords.

Afterward...... had to become a son-in-law of Nanfu, and he had no chance to take a scientific expedition in his life. ”

"It's good now, Nanfu has backtracked again...... The young master can't even be a rich man for a lifetime. ”

Qingyue lowered her head, and tears couldn't help but soak up in her eyes.

She only felt that Young Master Lu Jing was kind-hearted, diligent in his studies, and did brilliantly in his articles, and he was a child of a big family.

Now the future is dark, and I am afraid that I will not be able to jump out of the mud in front of me for the rest of my life......

"Qingyue, you go back and get a lamp for me first, and eat it later tonight, wait for me to come back."

Lu Jing's voice interrupted Qing Yue's thoughts.

Qingyue lifted the food box and quickly turned around, not wanting Lu Jing to see the tears in her eyes.

"Don't worry." Lu Jing's voice suddenly came from behind him: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." ”

"There is no end to man."

Lu Jing spoke softly.

Qingyue heard Lu Jing's voice, her footsteps paused slightly, raised her hand to wipe away the tears that flowed, and turned back to Lu Jing and smiled softly.

"Got it, young master."
