Chapter 10: Jasmine Goes to School

Wu Lizhen cherished this fairy tea very much, and was willing not to eat or drink it, until one day, his mouth was dry and hot, and he pulled a handful of tea tree leaves, put them in his mouth and chewed them slowly.

He and Yuye picked some leaves, brewed them with boiling water, and let the old mother drink them, and the mother's illness was greatly improved.

Sometimes the villagers are sick, and he and Yuye also enthusiastically use this leaf to soak in water for them to drink, and the effect is really good.

In order to help all the people, Wu Lizhen discussed with Yuye: "Yuye, just we have tea trees is not enough, many mountains in Mengding Mountain can grow tea, how about we give some seeds and some seedlings to the villagers?"

"Lizhen, you have the final say in the affairs of the family, and you will give it to the villagers if you say it to the villagers. "Yuye is very refreshing.

As a result, most of the villagers in Mengding Mountain have their own tea gardens of all sizes with the help of Wu Lizhen.

Wu Lizhen and Yuye not only gave them seeds, Yuye and Wu Lizhen also taught them how to pick tea, how to dry, how to make tea, and the villagers affectionately called them "tea ancestors" and "tea mothers".

The villagers planted more and more tea, and it was enough for their own use, and the excess tea was sold to the important towns in the southwest, and drinking tea to cure diseases caused a sensation in the entire southwest. The tea sellers came, they bought tea from Mengding Mountain everywhere, packed the tea in sacks, loaded it on horseback, and transported it to various places where tea was needed, and this is how the Ancient Tea Horse Road was born step by step.

Li Zhen's six daughters are as cute and smart as fairies, and they are busy picking tea in the tea garden every day with their parents, laughing and singing, and they are envious of all the towns and villages.

The parents never let the girls out of the tea garden because the girls would get sick as soon as they left the tea garden. In fact, they are all tea fairies, and they can't just accept bad luck outside the tea garden.

It's just that Chunsheng is strong and won't get sick, and his father took the loveliest son Chunsheng down the mountain, let him increase his knowledge, learn some great skills, and finally sent him to Dongfang Shuofu as a live-in apprentice, and Chunsheng never saw them again.

The two sisters miss their younger brother, the four younger sisters miss their brother, and Chunsheng misses his parents and sisters the same.

Early in the morning, the birds were singing, and the five brothers and sisters came to the school and began to study.

The course was taught by Dongfang Shuo's disciple and the master of the monk. Because Dongfang Shuo is usually very busy, he only has leisure time to chat with them, and he can't give them every day, and the classes are taught by all kinds of doormen and monks hired by him, but the course syllabus is determined by Dongfang Shuo.

The so-called "doorman and keeper" means that some capable people or professionals "instrumentalize" themselves by attaching themselves to a certain master, and achieve the relationship between raising and being raised. The goal of the life of the doorman, the doorman, and the monk is to seek wealth, gain honor, and help the master build immortal deeds.

The main father Yan was a well-known genius at that time, a native of Linzi (now Linzi, Shandong), and a native of Dongfang Shuo. Born in poverty, he learned long and short vertical and horizontal techniques in his early years, and later learned "Yi", "Spring and Autumn" and the words of a hundred schools. In Shandong, he was squeezed out by Confucianism, so he traveled to the north to Yan, Zhao, Zhongshan and other princely kingdoms, but they were not courteous. Later, he met Dongfang Shuo in the capital and stayed in the house to give lectures. Today, he will talk about the classics of Chinese culture. He asked, "Jasmine, you are new here, what classics have you read?"

Jasmine replied: "The students have read the Book of Songs, the Book of Songs, the Book of Rites, the Book of Rites, the Book of Zhouyi, the Spring and Autumn Period, the Analects, and the Book of Filial Piety, a total of seven classics. ”

The master thought that he had heard it wrong, and thought to himself, this little girl has read so many scriptures. Continue to ask: "What do you say is the core idea of Confucianism?"

Jasmine said unhurriedly: "Although Confucianism has its own merits, it seems to me that there are only three points:

This determines what is civilized and what is barbaric. Our Chinese nation has been civilized for thousands of years, and our people should be civilized people who know books and etiquette, and Confucianism makes people civilized;

Second, the way of family and state rules is determined, and the world will be disrupted without rules, and the rule and order are the core ideas emphasized by Confucianism;

These three establish the distinction between a gentleman and a villain. Confucianism is based on the principle of a gentleman, "self-cultivation and family leveling the world", not being a villain, and determining the values of each person's life! I think these three points can be the core of Confucianism. ”

Although Jasmine's summary may not be comprehensive or convincing, but the little girl has this insight, the main father Yan and Jasmine's brothers are so shocked that their jaws are about to fall, this Jasmine is really amazing, only seven or eight years old, but when it comes to Confucian classics, it is unambiguous and insightful.

Of course, he was very happy to have this student, so he decided to talk about the classics in depth, and let everyone discuss and study the "Theory of the Six Kingdoms", and then write their impressions.

During the break, the senior brother made a cup of tea for each of them, the senior sister Jasmine had never drunk this thing, she drank a few sips, refreshed, and sweet after drinking, especially after she drank for a period of time, her abdomen was slightly hot, very comfortable.

She hurriedly asked her senior brother, "Senior brother, what kind of magical leaf are you?"

The senior brother just wanted to speak, but Dongsheng interjected and said: "It is a specialty of the senior brother's hometown, called tea, which can not only quench your thirst, but also nourish the stomach and refresh your mind. We all owe it to our sister's blessings!"

Dongsheng's words made Chunsheng blush, and everyone laughed, which made the junior sister embarrassed and blushed.

The senior brother hurriedly explained: "Don't talk nonsense Dongsheng, usually you don't have to drink tea, but your hometown is far away, and you don't have much to bring, except for honoring the master, there is indeed not much left, today is the first time the junior sister has a class, so naturally I have to treat her well." ”

As soon as the senior brother explained, everyone laughed again, and the senior sister couldn't hold her face, so she ran back to her embroidery room.

Everyone continued to discuss, and Qiusheng said: "Master never accepts female disciples, but I didn't expect this jasmine to be really powerful, and the Confucian scriptures are the Tao, and they are better than me, this little girl really can't be underestimated." ”

Xia Sheng said: "Yes, she doesn't know what knowledge she has in her heart, she recited the "Book of Songs" that day, and everyone was stunned.

When it was time for lunch, Chunsheng arranged for the other junior disciples to go first, and he went to the junior sister's room to call her for dinner. Entering the door of the junior sister's room, he called softly: "Jasmine is there?"

When Jasmine heard that it was Senior Brother's voice, she hurriedly replied, "Here, Senior Brother, please come in." ”

Chunsheng entered the house, reached out and took out a bag of tea from his sleeve pocket, and said, "Seeing that my sister likes to drink tea, I will give my sister a bag of tea, and then ask me for it after drinking." It's time to eat, let's go eat. ”

The junior sister was so happy and said, "Thank you, senior brother, I just wanted to ask you for a little." You go first, I'll go and invite my parents. ”
