Kong Xianhe spread out a piece of rice paper, took out a wolf hair brush from the pen holder, dipped it in ink, and began to write.

After writing Su Shi's "Fixing the Storm", he nodded with satisfaction, and was about to be printed, when he heard his wife's shout outside: "Xianhe, come out and see ......"

The sudden shouting made Chen Zhenyi, who had just come out of the bathroom, startled, stunned in place, and at a loss.

Kong Xianhe, who walked out of the study unhurriedly, saw his wife standing in the living room looking at the direction of the bathroom, and walked over to find a handsome young man standing at the door of the bathroom, wearing a gray robe, with clear eyebrows, round face and big ears.

"He's so pretty...... the beautiful woman couldn't help but admire.

"Ahem" Kong Xianhe coughed and said: "Like a Confucian student, it's just a little less elegant, and the edge is too strong......"

The beautiful woman smiled and said, "Young and heroic, he should have the pride of going to the moon for nine days, why hide it deliberately?" You just don't understand aesthetics......"

Kong Xianhe didn't laugh angrily, and said softly: "What Madame said is very true, he regards Li Taibai as an idol, but he really has a bit of uninhibited fairy spirit......

The two husbands sang with their wives, and Chen Zhen's face was red and white, and he was extremely embarrassed.

"Okay, you help dry his clothes, I'll talk to him," Kong Xianhe said softly to his wife.

"Mm-hmm, I'll make lunch later, let him stay and eat before going to school" The beautiful woman smiled.

"Shinichi, you come with me......" Kong Xianhe turned around and walked towards the study.

When Chen Zhenyi rubbed shoulders with the beautiful woman, he whispered: "Thank you, Master..."

The beautiful woman smiled and nodded.

Before entering the study, Chen Zhenyi smelled the fragrance of ink.

It's a refreshing scent. Unlike the large bottles of ink often used by the second master, it smells very bad.

The two walls of the study are inlaid with ebony-colored bookshelves, full of books. There is a large desk on the right hand side of the door, and on a piece of rice paper on the table is the calligraphy work just created, line calligraphy, Su Dongpo's "Fixing the Wind and Waves", and the last sentence "There is no wind and rain and no sunshine" falls after the owner of Guanlan Pavilion, Kong Xianhe.

On the long table two steps away in front of the desk, a guqin lay quietly.

Standing in front of the guqin and looking out, it is a rockery.

At this point, the rain has stopped. There is a faint white mist floating on the rockery, and crystal raindrops hang on the landscape pine trees in the middle of the yard.

Kong Xianhe pulled over a stool and said gently: "Sit down!" ”

"Thank you, sir......" Chen Zhenyi was a little cramped.

"Li Taibai seems to be free and easy, but in fact he is depressed and has nowhere to confide, using the Tao of cultivation to cover up his inner loss, negative and avoidance, dare not face the reality, compared to Li Taibai, I personally like Mr. Dongpo more, a cloud of smoke and rain is the highest state of life, everywhere adversity, there is still a positive heart, despite the poverty of life, still happy, life is so far, what more can the husband ask for?" Kong Xianhe said that he would seal his name later.

Chen Zhenyi admires Li Bai's heroic spirit of "killing one person in ten steps, leaving no one for a thousand miles", and as for the choice of life, he has not thought about it in detail for the time being.

"What Mr. said, students don't dare to judge arbitrarily, in my opinion, people should do things at what age, if everything is required by the highest standards, it is inevitable to lose their individuality, and the sameness is not necessarily good" Chen Zhenyi's view of life is not to chase fame and fortune, but to be casual and natural, free and easy.

Kong Xianhe nodded and said with a smile: "People make the best use of their talents, make the best use of things, do not stick to tradition, and do nothing naturally, this is the foundation of Taoism, it seems that you have been greatly influenced by Taoism over the years!" ”。

Chen Zhenyi disagreed, believing that this was the inevitability of individual existence, not influenced by Taoism, although Taoism would be constrained when he made a certain choice, but that was only a reference standard, and what he followed was his own heart.

"Sir, whether it is Confucianism or Taoism, it is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients, I do not deny that these things have guiding significance for future generations, but personal growth is closely related to the real environment, so I think people should adapt to the conditions of the time and live their own ......"

"What you say is not unreasonable, but the foundation of social development and progress is precisely these ideas, and it is also the source of a nation's long-term prosperity, and it is precisely because of the guidance of these ideas that we can go further, and you must learn to accept different points of view, so that you can better realize your self-worth."

"What do you mean, sir?"

Kong Xianhe stood up and said solemnly: "Are you willing to worship me as a teacher?" ”

Chen Zhen thought for a while, his eyes were resolute, and he said softly: "The student is willing to ......"

Perhaps, Confucianism, Taoism and cultivation can solve the confusion of the heart. Those sealed memories may hide their own life experience, maybe this is an opportunity.

Kong Xianhe smiled heartily and said, "Okay, you come with me......"

Kong Xianhe led Chen Zhenyi out of the main room and walked towards the right side.

Pushing open the door, a strong sandalwood fragrance spreads, and what catches the eye is a huge portrait of Confucius, under which is a long offering table, with melons and fruits on the table, and a bronze incense burner in the middle.

Kong Xianhe stepped into the house with his feet raised, took three incense candles from the side, lit them, held them above his head, bowed three times, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.

Turned around and looked at Chen Zhenyi: "Today under the seat of the Holy Ancestor, you worship me as a teacher, and I should teach you what I have learned all my life, are you willing?" ”

Chen Zhenyi found that Kong Xianhe had changed his appearance, without the previous smile, with a serious face, Chen Zhenyi stepped into the room and said in a deep voice: "The student is willing to respect Mr. as a teacher and listen to Mr. ...... teachings."

"Okay, first salute the Holy Master and bow three times......," Mr. Kong stood sideways and stood upright.

After Chen Zhen finished his salute, Kong Xianhe said again: "Since you are willing to worship me as a teacher, just salute!" As he spoke, he sat down on the Taishi's chair in front of the offering table.

Chen Zhenyi understood that this was to perform a kowtow by himself, stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times preciously.

Kong Xianhe picked up Chen Zhenyi and said softly: "Okay, my Confucianism has been inherited for more than 2,300 years, the first priority is a ritual word, followed by benevolence, in the future, to do benevolent and righteous things, to be a person who keeps etiquette, can you do it?" ”

Chen Zhenyi hesitated, it is easy to say benevolence and righteousness, this ceremony, most of them are fine, but when he is with Pu Xingyuan, he is afraid that he will not be able to do it.

"I know what you hesitate about, courtesy in your heart, don't ask for perfection......"

Hearing what Mr. said, Chen Zhenyi said happily: "Students can do ......"

"Hmmm! A gentleman will do what he says, remember ......"

"Xianhe, it's time to eat" His wife's voice came, and Kong Xianhe agreed loudly: "It's coming"

After lunch, Kong Xianhe asked Chen Zhenyi to enter the study again.

He took down an ancient book from the shelf, the blue cover was mottled, and he faintly saw that the paper in the pages was yellow, and on the cover were written two small seal fonts that Chen Zhenyi did not recognize.

"This is a Confucian work of the pre-Qin period, if you take it back and study it, I believe you will gain something, and you must be mindful and meditate when you read...... Kong Xianhe handed the book over.

Chen Zhenyi looked at the book but didn't dare to pick it up, this is a book from the pre-Qin period, that is, a cultural relic. He has studied the historical record of Qin Shi Huang's book burning and pit Confucianism, since this book can be preserved, the value is immeasurable, in case it is damaged or lost, even if he sells himself, he can't afford to pay for it!

"Sir, this is too precious for students to dare to take ......"

"If it is in terms of cultural relics, it is indeed worth a lot of money, but in terms of knowledge, it is only a book of Analects, what I handed over to you today is just a book, not cultural relics, don't worry......

Chen Zhenyi took it with trembling hands, feeling the weight of history, and carefully holding it with both hands.

"Alright, there you go!" Kong Xianhe waved his hand to signal that Chen Zhenyi could leave.

After changing his clothes, when he came out, Chen Zhen heard the sound of the piano, and the sonorous and powerful sound penetrated the wall and spread far away.

He wanted to go in and say goodbye to his husband, but was stopped by his sister and said with a smile: "He explained, you don't have to say goodbye to him, and you have this dress in your hand, and you will wear it at home in the future."

————

Students are returning to the school one after another.

Chen Zhenyi went straight to the classroom, and there was no one in the classroom.

He carefully took out the previous book from his bag and opened it gently. The pages inside were not paper, but brocade silk, and the words inside were all small seals he didn't recognize.

But at that glance, Chen Zhenyi had a familiar feeling, he took a photo of one of the sentences and uploaded them to the Internet for identification, only to find out that it was "The Analects", after reading a sentence, he felt that the familiar words were embedded in the blood in the form of a small seal, and there was a warm feeling in his body.

"Could it be ......" Chen Zhenyi closed the book and fell into deep thought.

This feeling is the same as when I peeked at the second master's "Zhengyi Qi Introduction". Mr. Kong may not know that Chen Zhenyi was able to memorize the entire Analects backwards.

When he closed the book and continued to recite the next sentence, there was no change in his body, and when he opened the book, abandoned his original memory, and read it word by word, the warm feeling in his body appeared again......

"So that's ......," Chen Zhenyi secretly rejoiced.

In the next few days, whenever he had free time, he opened the book and became familiar with it word by word, because he remembered the simplified Analects, and he could recognize and memorize the seal characters in the book accordingly, and by Saturday he had memorized all the fonts on the tree.

The last class on Saturday morning was self-study, Chen Zhenyi closed his eyes, after taking a few deep breaths, everything around him quieted down, he turned out the seal style "Analects" in his mind, recited silently, and sure enough, there was a warm feeling in his body that he was expecting.

In the afternoon, I returned to the village and helped the second master dig up the potatoes in the field and go home.

fell asleep in the second master's whispered chanting.

Early the next morning, he got up early and climbed onto the platform in front of the Sanqing Palace. Sitting cross-legged, he passed the "Zhengyi Qi Breath" and "The Analects" from beginning to end, and suddenly felt refreshed. Suddenly, a thought came to me, and I thought, "Can I practice both at the same time?" ”

As soon as he thought of it, he sat down again and began to recite both at the same time, and within a few minutes he opened his eyes and laughed at himself: "One mind can't be used for two purposes!" ”

On Sunday afternoon, Chen Zhen returned to school early in the morning.

He got out of the car near Mr. Kong's house, found a secluded place to change into a long shirt, and walked to Mr. Kong's house.

Shi Niang opened the door and saw Chen Zhenyi wearing a long robe, and said with a smile: "Zhenyi! Come on in..."

When I walked into the yard, I saw that Mr. was pruning the bonsai, and the grass and trees outside had turned yellow, but the yard of Mr. was still green.

Chen Zhenyi walked up to Kong Xianhe, bowed and saluted: "The student has seen Mr. ......."

"Hmm" Kong Xianhe replied solemnly, turned around, and said in a deep voice: "What are you looking for me?" ”

Sir, are you tired like this, can we not pretend? Chen Zhenyi felt funny in his heart, but said respectfully: "The student is here to return the book......

A hint of surprise flashed in Kong Xianhe's eyes, and he said with some displeasure: "Zhenyi! Read a book a hundred times, and you will see its righteousness, and you should read it seriously ......"

"What Mr. taught me is that the students have memorized all the contents of the book, and they will review it every day in the future and strive to read it a hundred times," Chen Zhenyi said with his head down.

"What? Memorized it all so quickly? Kong Xianhe was in a hurry, revealing his feet, and the Confucian demeanor he had disguised before was ruined.

Chen Zhenyi couldn't bear to laugh out loud, and the sister next to him trembled with laughter, and finally squatted directly on the ground, and Kong Xianhe, who found that he had failed to pretend to be BI, smiled embarrassedly, and coughed softly twice to resolve the embarrassment.

"Yes, the students have written it down, and this book should be returned to the sir......"

As soon as Chen Zhenyi walked out of the yard, he heard the husband and wife laughing, and he laughed unconsciously.
