Mu Xun was stunned for a moment, and secretly said in his heart: "Dad is really like a torch!" At the moment, he had to nod and respond: "It is indeed something that happened." So he told his father what happened in the restaurant, but the covenant of Biji Mountain was hidden.

After hearing this, Mu Beiting's brows furrowed more and more, and he asked, "What about the injury of the Mu family's son?"

Mu Xun said: "I deducted a little force when I made a move, but I just beat him to faint, and it was not in the way." ”

Mu Beiting felt a little relieved in his heart, and then reproached Mu Xun again: "Then Shopkeeper Li's words are extremely reasonable, what is the difference between your behavior and a reckless fool?"

When Mu Xun heard this, he was immediately unhappy, straightened his waist at the moment, and asked: "You have taught me in the past that you should be upright and upright, hoe the strong and help the weak, why did I do a righteous act today, but I should be scolded by you?"

Mu Beiting was speechless for a while, and secretly worried in his heart: "This stupid child has a pure and upright temperament, and when he encounters problems, he only cares about seeking reason directly, and he doesn't understand the law of roundness and roundaboutness. Alas, if a person with a temperament like him is independent of the world in the future, I am afraid that he will suffer a great loss!" Thinking of this, he wanted to say something, but then he thought: "Alas, it is only to blame that I instilled in him too many chivalrous ways in the past, so that he developed today's temperament..."

Mu Xun's face was full of indignation, and he sat down on the empty chair next to Xu Che, and said, "What's more, I am practicing the 'unity of knowledge and action' mentioned by Mr. Yangming." Mr. Yang Ming is a great sage who shook the ancient and modern times, and I will follow Mr. Yang Ming's teachings, and naturally I can't be wrong!"

Mu Beiting has always been not good at arguing with his tongue, but at this moment, seeing that Mu Xun was talking the truth, he was speechless for a while.

At this time, Xu Che on the side frowned and asked, "This kind of understanding is Mu... Did Young Master Mu realize it himself, or did he hear it from that Mr. Zhang?" He originally wanted to call Mu Xun's name, but after thinking about it, he still added the word "Young Master".

Mu Xun said: "Naturally, it was taught by Mr. Zhang himself. ”

Hearing this, Xu Che was disappointed, and immediately said: "Alas, it seems that Mr. Zhang has not reached the end, and it is too superficial to interpret the true meaning of the four words of 'unity of knowledge and action'..."

Mu Xun's ears were sharp, Xu Che's words were all listened to by him, he immediately raised his eyebrows, and said dissatisfied: "Oh? Then, according to your high opinion, how should these four words be interpreted?"

Xu Che glanced at Mu Xun, couldn't help but fall into contemplation, and couldn't even notice the contempt in Mu Xun's words, and after a long time, he muttered to himself: "'It's difficult to know, it's difficult to do', do what you know, in view of the line, this is not wrong, but Mr. Yangming also said, 'Knowledge is the beginning of action, action is the completion of knowledge', so I think the relationship between knowledge and action should be a process of continuous transformation, that is, first and then know, then know and learn, and then know and re-learn..."

Mu Xun was confused when he heard this, and couldn't help but interrupt: "What you said is plausible, it's really incomprehensible, you can say it clearly and simply." ”

Xu Che was still in the process of thinking about himself, and he replied after a long time of asking about Mu Xun: "Hmm... The wonder of the mind has always been to see what kind of essence can be realized by personal understanding, what I have realized... It's still messy, and I don't know if it's right or not, and even I can't quite explain how it feels..."

Mu Xun snorted coldly and blurted out the words "so tricky".

However, Xu Che's opinion surprised Mu Beiting on the side, and he praised it: "Little Brother Xu is insightful, could it be that you are also a member of the 'Xinxue' sect?"

Xu Che came back to his senses, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "Just because my father has a collection of several works by Mr. Yang Ming, I also read them from time to time, so I can learn some of them, but if you want to say that you are 'Wang Xuemen', it is absolutely infinite." ”

Mu Xun snorted disdainfully, but when he was about to speak again, he heard Aunt Wang's loud voice coming from the door: "Young master, tea is here!"

As soon as Aunt Wang entered the door, she saw Mu Xunzheng with a look of indignation, only saying that he was reprimanded by his father, and hurriedly pleaded with Mu Beiting: "Master, the little young master is at the age of being playful and active, and it is inevitable that he will be wild." Fortunately, now that he has returned safely, you can dissipate your anger and spare him this time. As he spoke, he put the tray in his hand on the coffee table.

Mu Beiting shook his head with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "This stinky boy has been spoiled by you! Whenever he makes a mistake, before I can punish him, you will rush up to plead, but he is used to becoming more and more unscrupulous." ”

Mu Xun raised the teacup and took a sip, revealing a pleasant expression, and said with a smile: "If the aunts and uncles in the family are like you, then I will be miserable!"

Mu Beiting looked at the unscrupulous son in front of him, and he had nothing to do for a while, so he could only smile bitterly and shake his head again. In fact, in the first few days of Mu Xun's runaway from home, he was extremely angry, but as time went by, it gradually became worried, although he was still secretly determined in his heart, only when Mu Xun was found back, he would definitely give Mu Xun a whip to relieve his anger, but in secret, his thoughts and worries about his son had already taken over, and at this moment he had no heart to punish Mu Xun, and Mu Xun was going to the academy to listen to and study in the past few days, so it was even more difficult to punish him, so he persuaded Wen Yan:" It is not that you are forbidden to go out as a Father, but you need to tell me a prophet of where you are going, so that my heart will not be anxious. ”

Mu Xun felt his father's deep love, immediately stood up, and said solemnly: "Dad, I will never run away from home without permission in the future..."

Although Mu Xun had said this many times, as soon as he saw his sworn appearance, Mu Beiting believed him again, smiled and nodded, and waved his hand to signal him to sit down.

Just as he was about to say something else, an exclamation suddenly came from outside the door, and then he saw a servant jumping into the door, coming straight to Mu Beiting, and said in a panic: "Master, it's not good! There are many officers and soldiers at the door, saying that they want to arrest the young master and go to the official mansion!"

Mu Beiting was taken aback and asked, "Officers and soldiers?"

The servant said: "It was said that the young master beat someone, and now I want to take the young master to the yamen to ask for the guilt." ”

Mu Xun slapped his thigh and shouted, "It must be that Mu family's son-in-law who is here to seek revenge!" But I didn't say the address of my home, how did he find here?"

Xu Che answered: "You have reported to your family before, and the son of the Mu family is a child of the official family, so it is not difficult to find you." ”

Mu Xun said angrily: "This group of people is so shameless, didn't they make an appointment to go to the foot of Biji Mountain in three days..."

Sure enough, Mu Beiting saw that he was hiding his words, and immediately asked, "What kind of agreement did you make with others? Why do you want to hide it from me?"

Mu Xun stuck out his tongue, and had to confess honestly: "That Mu Gongzi has a Xi Wuzi next to him, and he wants to avenge his master, so he asked me to go to the peach blossom forest at the foot of Biji Mountain three days later to try his fists and feet." ”

Mu Beiting asked in a cold voice: "If the other party doesn't come to the door today, don't you plan to tell me about it?"

Mu Xun saw that his father's eyes were sharp, and his heart was even more empty, so he immediately lowered his head and remained silent.
