Chapter 745: The Gentleman Cooks Far Away
"Closed disciple?" When the girl in Tsing Yi heard the four words, the envy on her face became even stronger, and when she looked at Bai Song again, there was a trace of hostility in her eyes.
Bai Song didn't speak, but he was observing.
Seeing the change in the eyes of the girl in Tsing Yi, she sighed lightly, and said in her heart What is this?
This girl doesn't seem to like to see herself, huh?
Where did Bai Song know that the girl in Tsing Yi in front of her wanted to worship under Old Yu's door several times, but was politely refused.
Just because she is a girl, she can't become an official disciple of Yu Lao.
Not even the chance to enter Yongxing Academy.
The person in front of him was actually Yu Lao's closed disciple, this is the girl in Tsing Yi who can't even think of honor.
"To be able to become a closed disciple of Elder Yu, that must be very knowledgeable?"
The girl in Tsing Yi looked at Bai Song and asked without hesitation.
Bai Song didn't have much interest in such a little girl, and thought about being casual and modest and polite.
I didn't want to say that I hadn't opened my mouth yet, and the sitting Yu Lao preemptively said: "This disciple of mine is young, but his knowledge is extraordinary. ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
It is really rare to get such a high evaluation from Yu Lao!
Not only the girl in Tsing Yi, but the three young people behind were a little surprised, and then there was some unhappiness.
Yu Lao said that there are few people in Chang'an, didn't he also say that they were much worse than this person?
Bai Song was also a little confused, and said in his heart, what does this gentleman mean by suddenly arching the fire?
They came here to see Qin Lao, and they didn't waste time with a few little dolls.
But as soon as the words came out, the girl in Tsing Yi immediately stared at Bai Song and asked in a coquettish voice: "Even Grandpa Yu praises it so much, this girl wants to test this closed disciple, I wonder if Grandpa Yu agrees?" ”
Yu Shinan smiled: "It's okay, it's okay, you are all the same age, and it is beneficial to communicate with each other." ”
The girl in Tsing Yi's eyes lit up when she heard this, and asked with a smile: "May I ask the son, what is the explanation of the gentleman's cooking?" ”
Bai Song didn't think about it: "The gentleman should not go into the kitchen, everyone knows it, what is the explanation?" ”
The girl in Tsing Yi and the three young men behind her all looked at each other and smiled.
"Hahaha......" a young man stepped forward and said, "This closed disciple, I wonder if you know the origin of 'Junzi Yuan Cook'?" ”
"What's the point?"
Bai Song made strange remarks again.
What's the point?
How could this not make sense?
Yu Shinan also frowned, looked at Bai Song, and didn't know why this kid answered so casually.
The young man stepped forward and said with a smile: "It seems that this prince is not as knowledgeable as Grandpa Yu said, and he doesn't know that the gentleman is far away from the kitchen from "Mencius-Liang Hui Wang Chapter and Sentence", the article refers to the fact that when King Qi Xuan killed the cow, he saw that the cow was pitiful, and he couldn't bear to kill it, so he replaced it with a sheep. Mencius praised King Qi Xuan for having a benevolent heart, and he was a gentleman who was far away from cooking, which meant that a gentleman should stay away from killing. What Mencius said meant that men should not cook? ”
The girl in Tsing Yi also smiled: "What Mencius said, the focus is not on cooking, but on being compassionate. It means that a gentleman should stay away from killing, have benevolence in his heart, and sympathize with the weak. This is what Mencius really wants to express as a gentleman. This son, could it be that Grandpa Cheng Yu didn't even teach you the most basic Four Books and Five Classics? ”
After speaking, the girl in Tsing Yi bowed to Elder Yu again: "Grandpa Yu, Lanzhi is just a quick talker, and he didn't offend Grandpa Yu, but he felt that this closed disciple didn't learn much, and I am afraid that it will damage Grandpa Yu's reputation in the future." ”
Yu Lao didn't care, he seemed to know that this little girl would behave like this, smiled, and looked back at Bai Song, meaning to ask how you ended.
Everyone looked at Bai Song and wanted to see how he reacted.
In the past, Bai Song was able to show off with these juniors in poetry, but this kind of argument is not what he is good at.
But now Bai Song has experienced a year in the academy and has been preparing for the imperial examination for a long time, not to mention that he is familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, but he is by no means weaker than these juniors.
These people were aggressive, Bai Song could only be forced to pretend to be forced, and he also smiled with everyone.
"The superficial truth in the Four Books and Five Classics naturally does not need to be taught by Yu Lao himself. I studied with my husband, and what I learned was the road to governing the country and rejuvenating the country, stabilizing the world, and benefiting the people. ”
"You...... You have such a big breath, in that case, why can't you even read the sentence 'gentleman is far away from cooking'? "Not a single person is convinced.
Bai Song pretended to sigh: "Hey, these superficial digest quotations, I am ashamed to analyze, since everyone has brought the problem to Mr. Insufficient teaching, then I naturally have to defend two sentences." ”
"Hmph, so it's a mystery, if you know, then let's hear it."
Bai Song continued: "Since you all know that 'Junzi Yuan Cook' is from Mencius. Then you should read through the article to understand the whole story. When King Qi Xuan killed the cow, he saw that the cow was pitiful and could not bear to kill it, so he replaced it with a sheep. If the cow is pitiful, isn't the sheep pitiful? Who is more noble than the same livestock? It's just that when the sheep was killed, King Qi Xuan didn't go to see the process of killing the sheep, because he couldn't see the pain of the sheep dying, he could enjoy the mutton safely, which is called benevolence? This is hypocrisy! ”
Bai Song's tone was not good, and his momentum was very strong, and after a while, several people were speechless.
Bai Song glanced at the girl in Tsing Yi unceremoniously, and continued: "With such a hypocritical style, Mencius, as a generation of great Confucians, can actually say the words of the king's benevolence and righteousness, is this the truth that Mr. Meng can't see? No...... It's just a matter of seeking stability. Saints are also people, and they will also see people and talk about people, and they will talk nonsense when they see ghosts, and in front of King Qi Xuan, saints will also be able to pat on the back! ”
"You...... You dare to insult the sages, you are so bold! ”
Bai Song didn't give in, and said in a low voice: "I'm just talking about things!" Mencius preached countless times, and it is true that he is a saint, so is there no defect in the saint? People should have their own judgment of right and wrong, their own outlook on life and values, and do not follow the crowd and be superstitious and blindly followed. The reason why I don't want to analyze the 'gentleman's long-distance cooking' is also because I don't want to expose the shortcomings of the saint. If you have to listen, I will tell you. There are countless classics in the sacred articles, and if you don't learn it well, just pick a gentleman to cook it from afar, it seems that your articles are not very good. ”
A few young people were speechless, but they felt very unconvinced, who dared to be bold enough to point fingers at Mencius, who do you think you are?
The girl in Tsing Yi looked at Yu Lao and wanted to hear what Yu Lao thought.
Could it be that Grandpa Yu thinks so too?
The gentleman is just a sage patting on the back?
Yu Shinan was also taken aback, this Bai Song was simply too open-mouthed, and gave a warning look: "Enough, there is no need to say it again." ”
