Chapter 13: The Teacher and the Father-in-law
Cai Yong taught Liu Cang another lesson, and sure enough, these Confucians, who were respected by scholars, were not easy to get along with.
Thinking about it, the overall cultural level of the Eastern Han Dynasty is not as low as once thought.
The Han people are pragmatic and ethical, if they don't have the ability to be different from ordinary people, they really don't dare to take the title of Confucian.
"The history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, do you still want to be loyal to Liu Hong? Isn't it bad enough to be pitted? Letting go of the exclamation in his heart, Liu Cang frowned at Cai Yong, who was somewhat childish and proud.
Cai Yong's early encounters and deeds have long been spread throughout the Han Dynasty, and I am afraid that some people with intentions are indispensable to operate.
Liu Cang's tone made Cai Yong sluggish, but there was no expression that was too surprised.
"Hehe, you are even more arrogant than your brother, no wonder you can get along with him easily." The smile has a deep meaning, Cai Yong said to Liu Cang.
It is also disrespectful for Liu Cang to call the emperor by name, but this kind of disrespect is just like that.
And there is Liu Bei's statement that after King Jing of Zhongshan is in front, Liu Cang suddenly showed disrespect for the royal family, but Cai Yong was not abrupt.
After all, as far as the old Liu family is concerned, Liu Hong can also be regarded as lucky, and he was just lifted up from the people.
"Don't talk about those who don't." Liu Cang waved his hand, neither refuting nor committal.
"Huh." Cai Yong chuckled, seeing that Liu Cangzhen was a little angry, then he shook his head and continued.
"This is not a simple matter of loyalty, but I have planned for myself, don't worry, just pass it on to Luoyang." Cai Yong explained.
"You want to seek forgiveness through this?" Listening to Cai Yong's explanation, Liu Cang frowned and thought about it, and said uncertainly for a moment.
"Oh, you are wise and foolish, not like this country man, but you don't know whether it is good or bad." After some exchange, Cai Yong's face showed an unexpected expression for the first time.
Even if Liu Cang guessed his identity, even if Liu Cang knew his deeds, Cai Yong was not surprised.
But at this time, Liu Cang understood a little, which made Cai Yong feel that Liu Cang was sensitive to world affairs.
This kind of shrewdness is really not good or bad. As a country commoner, if you think about things simply and recklessly, you can live a stable life.
If you see the world too thoroughly, and you don't have that level of identity, it will only increase your troubles, and if you don't say it well, it is easy to cause trouble.
"Use this book to make people recite you, and proclaim the name of your loyalty, and in it there will be some glorification of Your Majesty, and your reputation among the scholars, and let Your Majesty pardon your exile, and it would be better to compile these gorgeous words you gave him into the annals of history?"
Seeing some records about the current dynasty in the book, the corners of Liu Cang's mouth twitched, as if looking at a lump of bad things, and said to Cai Yong.
The great Confucianism in these years is really not pedantic.
"Is this a bit low-end?" Seeing Cai Yong's face, although he knew that Cai Yong seemed to be pardoned by Liu Hong in history, Liu Cang questioned slightly.
"How high-end do you treat mediation! Young and unlearned, if you don't know how to learn, you really think you have no teacher!?" It seemed that Liu Cang couldn't hold his face by what he said, Cai Yong scolded in a low voice.
Well, good offices, well, it doesn't seem to be high-end.
To mediate this thing, there must be a plan, but the main thing is to pave the way and the identity of reciprocity.
Liu Cang hadn't summarized this kind of concept, but he vaguely understood in his heart and inexplicably understood Cai Yong's statement.
And the so-called learning and art, in this era, has never been an endorsement recitation, let alone a simple poetry painting.
"Division? Do you still want to be my teacher? Liu Cang's expression was strange, he straightened up, and looked at Cai Yong, who seemed to be annoyed, and said.
Since meeting Cai Yong, the two have quarreled no less, but Cai Yong has never talked about what Liu Cang should learn, and he has never talked about any topics related to the teacher.
"Well, although the shaft is stubborn, it can be regarded as a talent."
"I have already stated my identity today, are you willing to worship me as a teacher?" There is no ambiguity, Cai Yong's attitude is becoming more and more serious, and he uses less colloquialisms in his speech, and he is more and more stereotyped.
"It's a bit of a waste... Or, forget it? Liu Cang thought slightly, his expression was a little embarrassed, and Xiao Cai Yan was nervous on the side, but what Liu Cang finally said made Cai Yan's eyes faintly with tears.
"You... What a waste! The old man has been a great Confucian in the past, this great man in the world, and those who want to enter my door are like carp crossing the river! Unexpectedly, Liu Cang refused, and listening to his words again, Cai Yong was angry.
"Don't, don't worry, you see, we get along well, like a family, hehe." Seeing that Cai Yong was really anxious, Liu Cang hurriedly dissuaded Han Xiao.
"Shaft, who is with your family? The name is not right, the words are not good, how is a family!? Cai Yong scolded angrily, but he thought about it for a moment.
"Huh? You... You're greedy kid! Stunned for a moment, Cai Yong seemed to think of something, and then looked at Liu Cang's expression, but was laughed at by Liu Cang.
"What are you greedy for, our situation is good, if I have something to ask you for help, will you not help?" Liu Cang was embarrassed by his laughter, and his face was also not good.
"What if I don't help you?" Cai Yong squinted and smiled.
"Tsk, I will save you from danger, if you don't help, you will lose your reputation." Liu Cang said.
The two of them are talking more and more partially, and they don't seem to be good words, and if they are others, they will probably have already lifted the table.
However, since getting along, the two have long been accustomed to this kind of quarrel, and Cai Yan's tears disappeared and he rolled his eyes behind Liu Cang's back.
"Don't be faceless, but also save the old man and the danger?" Cai Yong leaned back on the seat, took a sip of tea, and glanced at Liu Cang with disdain.
"Alright, alright, I won't give you that nonsense." Liu Cang waved his hand.
This old thing has a problem with the world's cognition, what to eat and drink him, Liu Cang knows, needless to say, it's useless.
And Liu Cang also knows that if he doesn't look down on the other party, people like Cai Yong will probably starve to death and will not go to the other party's house to eat and live.
"I have a close relationship with you, how has it changed to worship you as a teacher? Why don't you recommend another famous teacher for me? Isn't there any Sima Hui, Pang Degong or anything like that in Yingchuan? Liu Cang said to Cai Yong.
"Hahahaha, the kid is rude, very rude. If you don't know your thoughts, the old man will definitely make your Liu family bear a bad name. Cai Yong laughed, although he was scolding, but there was no anger in his tone.
Liu Cang is not stupid or naïve, on the contrary, Cai Yong knows that this kid is precocious and shrewd. The point is that this kid is not a cheat to take care of him closely.
Cai Yong knew that Liu Cang's so-called 'intimacy' did not have too much snobbery and hypocrisy, and he finally understood what this kid meant by waste.
This stupid boy is really wishful thinking and puts him into a family.
"I don't know the number of etiquette, but I smile generously. The old man is not close to the Yingchuan family, or there is a suspicion of antagonism. The trend of the world is not so simple. Cai Yong shook his head.
"Your idea is already a big rebellion, you still dislike it when you give you a gift, don't mess with the old man again, since it is a family, you will apprentice immediately." Cai Yong said solemnly to Liu Cang.
"How about acknowledging your father?" Liu Cang was a little weak-hearted.
Cai Yong said that Liu Cang was a little surprised by the discord with the Yingchuan family, but suddenly Liu Cang reacted again, and the family in this world is not monolithic.
There are many competing in the south and the north, but Liu Cang is still a little unwilling to let Liu Cang worship Cai Yong as his teacher.
Cai Yong is an honest man, and Liu Cang likes to get along with him.
But an honest person is definitely not a good leader, especially in the face of the upcoming century-old rebellion, and now apprenticeship or something, but to a large extent, it is related to personal life and death.
Liu Cang's sentence of 'recognizing his father' made Cai Yong stunned, his father-in-law or something, obviously there is no orthodoxy between teachers and students.
Liu Cang has no relatives now, and Cai Yong's acceptance of Liu Cang's disciple was originally intended to be raised as a son, but he prefers the relationship between teachers and students.
When Cai Yong pondered, he suddenly found that Liu Cang didn't look at him, but turned his head from time to time, and his eyes swept over his daughter.
Cai Yong's eyes widened, and he suddenly understood what Liu Cang was referring to, and involuntarily came up with the common foul words in Liu Cang's mouth.
"I'm Nima! This little bunny is going to... ”
