"That fresh meat is called Chen Zixian, and his family has opened a bookstore in Xicheng and has some money. If one day we don't have enough money to drink, we can ask him to go with us. As for the short man next to him, we ignore him. It is rumored that he is from Chenzhou and only knows how to eat, sleep, read, and shoot. Bored.
Ning Que admired him very much. He thought that a person who didn't want to enter the academy only spent half a day getting to know everyone's background and temperament. What should this spirit be—perhaps it was his spirit that made him eat, drink, and be merry all the time, and make it a hobby to find friends?
"Ah, you probably know who this is. That's right, she is the famous daughter of General Yunhui Situ Yilan!
Chu Youxian patted the table lightly, like a storyteller, and hurriedly said, "Brother Ning, you came to look for me just now, but you didn't come to her, I'm very grateful." However, I must warn you that this may annoy her. She rode a horse on Vermilion Bird Avenue when she was eight years old. She and some girls her age were called female soldiers. They frightened so many Chinese burger stands, deer and bamboo shops (which sold boiled pork offal) and a lot of men. If you annoy her, it will be difficult for you to walk in Chang'an City. It's like if you enter a Guozi restaurant (Chinese hamburger), there will be no good Guozi (end)!
Ning Que was stunned by his squirt, like a fountain, and after a while, he popped out of it. He was not afraid of female soldiers, because he did not trouble them. Situ Yilan is just a little girl with no malice in his eyes, so he won't care about her. However, he was full of praise for Chu Youxian's ability, and said, "Next time, if you don't have enough money to join the Red Sleeve Palace, you don't need to force Chen Zixian, you just need to tell some stories to make money."
He thought he was being ridiculed, but he didn't expect Chu Youxuan to glance at him and smile slightly, "In that kind of brothel, you can make some money just by saying a few words."
Ning Que stiffened and really wanted to kick his ass. However, he controlled his anger because the instructor who taught them the etiquette course just walked in seriously.
There was a sudden silence in the study, and the small, jumping crows and sparrows had flown to some unknown place.
"What is etiquette? This is a very broad question. However, we should not stop studying it because it is very important. Etiquette is as mysterious and distant as the firmament. But should we stop exploring and studying the firmament? Should we stop being curious about it? The answer is no. Instead, we observe clouds and winds during the day and the stars and darkness at night. We want to know what the firmament is and what is above it.
"To answer a broad question in a way that we can understand, we need a specific answer, which requires our attention to detail. In the same way that we study the stars, we focus on their movement and draw beautiful and fixed lines that end up being the subject of astrology.
"That's why to answer the question of what is the firmament, we start by studying each particular line and each of the qi, and then seek the end of the world and feel the limits of the primordial qi. The same is true for the study of etiquette. We should start with the details. If you want to ask me, what answer will we get if we study the details and specific aspects of politeness......"
"I can only say my own understanding, which is: etiquette is the rule."
The lecturer in charge of teaching student etiquette is an associate professor at the college. At the age of 60, he spoke slowly and clearly. His lessons are very organized and logical. The students are very attentive. However, Ning Que was very sleepy. The more clearly the teacher spoke, the more sleepy he became.
On the college entrance exam, he had the lowest score in etiquette in his fourth year; Class D. He was never interested in the subject, especially in recent years when he had been busy writing, meditating, killing, gambling, and sleeping.
Ning Que stumbled in his sleep thinking about how miserable his life would be for the next few years if he wasted every morning listening to these boring words.
But what happened next saved him from despair, and also made him realize once again the importance of the academy in the Tang Dynasty, and even the lecturers here were not ordinary people.
When the old lecturer mentioned that etiquette was about rules, a disapproving voice said: "Sir, our Tang Dynasty is the most powerful country in the world, and our emperor is the most respected. It is by appreciating etiquette rather than following the rules that we have achieved this.
Asking questions in class is approved by the college. But after all, it was the first day of school that this question was raised, and the atmosphere suddenly became very awkward, and even woke up Ning Que. He was confused and asked Chu Youxian at the same table: "Who is this student?"
Believing that all students are equal and aims to provide a suitable education to all students based on their different talents, the college enrolls a large number of students from ordinary families. But a student who dares to question the teacher in the first class either comes from a very strong family or considers himself a genius. Standing at the desk waiting for a trap, the student who challenged the lecturer was the son of a general.
The lecturer looked at him coldly and asked, "So in your opinion, people don't need to follow the rules?"
"Yes," said the general's son in a hoarse voice, "our country is built on great power. We keep winning wars by using our sharp weapons and ignoring these strict rules. However, that doesn't mean we don't appreciate etiquette.
The lecturer stared at the student with a blank face, and the wrinkles on his face gradually subsided, "You mean, as long as you are strong, it makes sense for you to do anything?"
The student scratched his head in embarrassment, then argued, "There's nothing wrong with that understanding." It's like our country defeated the Yan country heavily. They were so frightened by us that they even wanted to send their prince to our country as a hostage. Despite such humiliation, their emperor never dared to be the slightest rude to our emperor, and he still called our emperor a holy king. "
Ning Que heard the words in the back of the study, and he knew that this student's etiquette score would definitely be lower than his.
The lecturer slowly walked towards the students with a blank face. When he reached his side, he raised his thin hand and hit the student hard. He roared angrily, "As long as a person is strong, he has a reason to do anything?" In that case, I'm qualified to hit you now!
There was a scream from the study. The general's son, for some reason, is either afraid of the rules of the academy, or respects the teacher and does not dare to fight back. After withstanding all the attacks, he looked really miserable; His nose was bleeding, his face was swollen, and his mouth was covered in blood.
After a while, the lecturer stopped beating the students. He stared at the student, panting, "If what you said is right, then I am right to beat you now, because I am stronger than you."
After saying this, the lecturer continued to beat the students even harder. At this point, the study was already in a mess, and all the students were standing there, shocked. However, no one dared to stop their angry teachers. Until Situ Yilan said, "Master, you just have to prove that he is right, if you feel that you are stronger, then you can defeat him!"
Ning Que was still sitting at his desk, but even he himself was shocked. He never expected to see such a scene on the first day of school. Then he heard Situ Yilan's contradiction and felt that her words were quite reasonable.
But the lecturer turned around and glared at Situ Yilan coldly, "I just want to prove that he's right, what's wrong with that?"
Situ Yilan pursed her lips, she remembered her brother and father's warnings. But unable to stand idly by in this situation, she ignored what could have happened and said in a trembling voice: "If you think he is wrong, then you should not punish him in his way." If etiquette is about rules, as you say, then you should use rules to restrain and punish him.
The lecturer sneered and said, "General Yunkui, the deputy marshal is not good at reading and studying, but he taught his daughter very well. I know you two generals get along very well. But I guess you don't know him that well.
"It's not about our relationship." Situ Yilan struggled to suppress the feeling of embarrassment and argued, "I only want justice.
