Volume 2: Jiang Nanchun Chapter 109, Talented Men vs. Talented Women (I)
Tian Zhiyu saw that the four teenagers were already delirious, and they were all sitting on the ground and muttering to themselves, so he looked at Lu Wenshu and said, "Miss Lu, come over and do a favor and carry the three girls to the bed." ”
Since entering the house, Lu Wenshu didn't say a word, just watched them drink and make poems, and sat aside and drank silently.
She saw Tian Zhiyu talking to herself, and saw Feng Jingnan lying there, where there was still a trace of a lady, she couldn't help but be angry and funny, and got up to help Tian Zhiyu help them all to the bed.
Unfortunately, although the beds in the house are relatively large, after the three girls lie down, the four teenagers have no place, but fortunately, the weather has warmed, and the floor of the wooden house is all pine, which is not cold, so let them lie there and sleep.
After helping them all cover the quilt, Lu Wenshu said: "They have all walked for a long time, they are already very tired, and they have drunk so much wine in one go, and I hope that Tian Gongzi will forgive me for the gaffe." ”
Tian Zhiyu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay, it's all young people, and they can't help it." ”
When the two of them sat down again, they were speechless for a while, and Tian Zhiyu felt a little embarrassed.
Lu Wenshu still looked calm, and said softly: "I'm a little curious about you. ”
Tian Zhiyu said secretly, don't be too curious. He remembered that when he first met Nuan Yue, she was also so curious about herself, and she used to tease her, don't be too curious about yourself, because if you are too curious, you will fall in love with yourself.
But he couldn't say this to Lu Wenshu, he always felt that Lu Wenshu was too serious, and it was pressure to sit with her.
"Miss Lu, what's so curious about going down?" Tian Zhiyu said.
She pondered for a moment and said, "Uncle Feng told us about your affairs in Cloud City and Taiyuan, as well as the events on the way from Taiyuan to Yuhang, and I have also heard a little about you in Yuhang. In terms of literature and kung fu alone, you are unparalleled in the world, and what surprised me even was that even the divine doctor Fu Zhu was full of praise for you, plus you didn't know how to get the spirits, which made you look like a mystery. ”
Tian Zhiyu said with a smile: "It's all small skills of carving insects, and it's not enough to worry about it." ”
Lu Wenshu shook his head and said: "If these are small insect carving skills, then what is the big thing? These talents, put on any person, are enough to be famous all over the world, but you don't seem to care much about all this." ”
Tian Zhiyu smiled shyly.
"Also," Lu Wenshu continued: "If my guess is correct, the jade flute girl of the Drunken Immortal Building suddenly wrote a lot of beautiful songs, and the words of those songs should have been written by you." ”
"That's the talent of the jade flute girl herself," Tian Zhiyu hurriedly argued.
Lu Wenshu obviously didn't believe it, and said: "Miss Yu Xiao has been in Yuhang for four years, and she has always played those tunes, and she has never written such a song, and you have only been in Yuhang for a month, and Miss Yu Xiao has suddenly written so much, except that you helped her write it, there is no other reasonable explanation." ”
"Maybe it's because the jade flute girl has accumulated a lot of hair and suddenly found inspiration. ”
Lu Wenshu smiled: "Whether you admit it or not, sooner or later everyone will know about this matter." I'm just curious, why don't you take a serious career with such a talent? With your strength, plus Taiyuan Luo Yuanqiu, and the Feng family will definitely help you, and even Shuguo Luo Qi can also help you, if you want to be an official, you can even mix up a good reputation without taking the imperial examination, but you are willing to mix in the world and be an ordinary man. Whether it is farming or winemaking, it is not a good path in the eyes of the world. ”
Tian Zhiyu didn't want to explain anything to her, but said lightly: "Those who know me say I'm worried, and those who don't know me say what I want." ”
Lu Wenshu was not annoyed, still smiled faintly, and said, "I am indeed not Sister Nuanyue, I don't know you, so I am full of curiosity about you." ”
"Actually, curiosity is not necessarily a good thing, just like just now, you all knew that it was a strong wine, and it was very uncomfortable to drink, but you were still willing to taste it, and you also knew it," Tian Zhiyu said.
"But curiosity about you doesn't have any serious consequences," Lu Wenshu said.
Tian Zhiyu said with a smile: "Actually, at the beginning, Nuan Yue was just curious about me, and kept asking me questions, and you also know the result." ”
Hearing Tian Zhiyu's words, Lu Wenshu's face was finally no longer indifferent, and the corners of her eyebrows were clearly a little shy, she thought for a while and said, "Are you afraid that I will like you as much as Sister Nuanyue?"
"No, no, Zai is by no means a self-inflicted person," Tian Zhiyu hurriedly said.
Lu Wenshu didn't care and said: "I'm different from Sister Nuanyue, although we have only met a few times, I already know that she is a very emotional girl who dares to love and hate." She is curious about you, constantly approaching you, slowly attracted to your strengths, and finally likes you, which may happen to most girls, but I am different. ”
"The girl is smart and rational, she can be called a heavenly man, and the silly girl in Nuanyue is just a little elf in the world, and she can't be compared with you," Tian Zhiyu said.
She heard the meaning of Tian Zhiyu's words, and said: "You don't have to tease me, I said it very early, my sweetheart in the future must be outstanding, but not as outstanding as Tian Gongzi, but the kind that can stabilize the country, Tian Gongzi, do you understand what I mean?"
Tian Zhiyu nodded hurriedly and said: "Understand and understand, it should be the kind of person who can write to calm the world, and Wu can immediately decide the world, but he can only write a few poems and know nothing about the world." ”
Lu Wenshu smiled bitterly: "You don't have to say that you are worthless like this, in fact, Tian Gongzi, with your talent, if you study hard and add the guidance of a master, you can also enter the phase, but I don't understand why you don't want to do this." ”
Tian Zhiyu sighed and said: "I won't tell you, I have no interest in being an official since I was a child, and I don't want to turn the tide and support the building on a broken beam, I want to be just a happy ordinary person, with a career and a lover, so I am already very satisfied." ”
"But don't you feel like your talent has been wasted?" Lu Wenshu said again.
"How is it a waste? How is it not a waste? Is it not a waste if I must become an official in the court? If I can increase grain production and cultivate good crops, won't this benefit the people of Li?" Tian Zhiyu retorted.
Lu Wenshu sighed, he didn't know how to refute it, but he said quietly: "Do you support your idea, Sister Nuanyue?"
Tian Zhiyu nodded and said, "The reason why I have a deep affection for Nuan Yue is because she never asks me to do anything. When I first told her about this idea, she said that she would be very supportive of me. That's why this stupid girl will make me miss it and be willing to do anything for her. ”
"But you also know Nuan Yue's life experience, if you were just an ordinary man, would Uncle Jiang agree to marry Nuan Yue to you?"
Tian Zhiyu smiled bitterly, this was actually a question he had been thinking about, but he didn't want to entangle this with Lu Wenshu, so he said: "Don't worry, I will definitely find a suitable identity to let Nuan Yue's family agree to this marriage, and I will definitely not let Nuan Yue suffer a little grievance." ”
Lu Wenshu looked at him straightly, wanting to see any clues from his face, but after looking at it for a long time, his expression was still as flat as water, without any waves, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Tian Zhiyu saw that she was about the same age as Nuan Yue, but she looked mature and steady when she spoke, without the liveliness and cuteness that this age should have, unlike Nuan Yue and Feng Jingnan, who looked scheming, and couldn't help but be a little alienated from her.
However, at this time, there were only two of them in the room, if they didn't say something casually, Tian Zhiyu felt embarrassed, and secondly, he was also out of grace.
So he asked, "When did Miss Lu come to Yuhang?"
Lu Wenshu said: "After the Spring Festival, I set off." At that time, I knew that Brother Feng was killed, and Sister Nan had the best relationship with Brother Feng, so I knew that she must be very sad, so I thought about coming over to accompany her. In previous years, it was only in early summer. ”
Lu Wenshu is the second daughter of Lu Shengzhai, the Duke of Shu, their fief is located in Jiannan Road, which is quite far from here, she has traveled thousands of miles to accompany Feng Jingnan, and the relationship between the two families is excellent.
Tian Zhiyu thought that Lu Lan, the queen of the dynasty, was the eldest daughter of the Duke of Shu, so she was Lu Wenshu's sister. has a sister who is a queen, no wonder she is always so dignified.
"By the way, Tian Gongzi is the last person to see Brother Feng, if Sister Nan asks you about her brother's deathbed, I still hope that Tian Gongzi can be cautious and say nothing, Sister Nan has finally recovered, I don't want her to be overly sad. ”
Tian Zhiyu nodded and said, "I know, don't worry, I will try to avoid talking to her about this." ”
Lu Wenshu nodded, and then said: "Last time in the Feng Mansion, Wen Shu asked Gongzi what he had been reading recently, so it was better for this housekeeper to come in and interrupt the conversation, now can Gongzi answer Wen Shu?"
Tian Zhiyu couldn't help but sigh, but it's really difficult for talented women to get along, why is it that the same talented woman, Nuan Yue doesn't ask questions all day long?
He thought for a while and said, "I can read everything, "Analects", "Mencius", "Historical Records", "Tang Poems" or something, what books does the girl like on weekdays?"
"I like to read Mr. Han Changli's articles, I don't know if Childe has read it?"
Tian Zhiyu said: "I have read it, and I like his articles a lot." After speaking, I thought to myself, how can this girl have a hobby with Luo Qi? The two of them should have a lot of common topics when they sit together.
"Which of Mr. Han's favorite articles does that son?" Lu Wenshu then asked.
Tian Zhiyu thought for a while and said: ""The Teacher Said" and "The Explanation of Studying" are two articles. ”
In fact, Tian Zhiyu was more impressed by only these two articles, because they were in middle school textbooks.
Lu Wenshu finally stopped having a serious expression, and smiled lightly: "Wen Shu's favorite is his "Original Dao", and I agree with the truth in him very much, I don't know what Tian Gongzi thinks?"
In this article, Tian Zhiyu happened to hear Luo Qi talk about it last time, and it was about Han Yu's retro worship of Confucianism and rebuke of the Buddha, and he remembered that Luo Qi said that Han Yu thought that it was hard enough for farmers to farm and feed the four classes of farmers, agriculture and industry, and with the addition of Buddhism and Taoism, it would only be more difficult.
Tian Zhiyu said: "I partially agree with the views inside. ”
"Oh, which part?" Lu Wenshu showed great interest.
Tian Zhiyu thought for a while, and then said: "Mr. Han believes that Buddhism and Taoism are full of a large number of people who do not work hard, which increases the burden on the peasants, and I agree with this. ”
"Which part of Tian Gongzi disagrees?" Lu Wenshu then asked.
Mr. Han said that to change this situation, Buddhism and Taoism must be eliminated and the way of life promoted by Confucianism in ancient times must be restored, which Yu disagrees. Tian Zhiyu said.
Lu Wenshu was obviously surprised, and hurriedly said, "Why doesn't Tian Gongzi agree with this point of view." ”
Tian Zhiyu said: "In ancient times, there was little arable land and low grain production, but the population has been increasing, so the vast majority of the land needs to be cultivated to feed the whole society. However, with the passage of time, people's social activities are becoming more and more complex, and there will inevitably be a variety of social classifications, and if we still have to forcibly fix people in a limited number of industries as we did at the beginning, not only is it not a kind of progress, but it will hinder the development of society. ”
Lu Wenshu was confused and didn't understand very well: "But after there are fewer and fewer people working in agriculture, food will indeed become a big problem." ”
Tian Zhiyu nodded and said: "Therefore, to change this situation, the most important thing is to greatly increase the output of grain." Think about it, if the average grain yield were doubled, would it be possible to feed more people, or would some of the people who used to work in agriculture be liberated to do other things? Then there will be more people who are obsessed with what they are good at, such as music, such as calligraphy, such as religion. ”
"And that's not all," Tian Zhiyu saw that Lu Wenshu fell into deep thought, and then said: "The extra grain still has many uses, such as making wine, such as raising livestock, so will there be a lot more wine and meat in society? Isn't people's lives getting richer and richer?"
"It seems that this is indeed the truth, but it does not contradict the life advocated by Confucianism," Lu Wenshu said.
"There is a contradiction," Tian Zhiyu said, "the world that Confucianism hopes for is a society in which everyone lives according to their own responsibilities and everyone follows the rules, and in such a society, individual talents are greatly limited, and it is difficult to make significant progress in any aspect." Books, music, and knowledge are monopolized by the rich and powerful, and ordinary people can only struggle at the bottom all their lives, which is very detrimental to this society. ”
Lu Wenshu thought about it, felt that it seemed reasonable, and there seemed to be a lot of things to refute, and then said: "But all your theories are based on the premise that grain production can be greatly increased, but it is also very difficult to increase grain production." ”
