Chapter 82: Chungni's Journey to the East
"Teacher, everything is taken care of and ready to go. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" said a handsome young man towards Cangjie.
Oh no, it shouldn't be called Cangjie now, but Mr. Zhongni.
That's right, after Cangjie came to the Terran Lu Kingdom, he assumed the pseudonym Kong Zhongni, that is, the future teacher of eternity - Confucius.
As for this young man, he was a disciple accepted by Zhong Ni, and he was also the most outstanding Mr. Zigong among the seventy-two sages, Duanmu Ci.
Of course, there are naturally no Confucian seventy-two sages now, and Kong Qiu does not have three thousand disciples under his seat.
"Zigong, have you really decided to accompany me on a study tour of other countries? You must know when you will come back from this trip, as far as I know, there should be an elderly mother in your family. Kong Qiu asked Zigong, waiting for his final answer.
"The first filial piety, the second sight and hear, know a certain number, know a certain text. The teacher's teaching was naturally remembered by the students, but the journey to the world was far away and the situation on the road was unpredictable, so the students decided to follow the teacher for guidance. ”
"As for my mother's side, I have already told her about the teacher's study tour, and this decision has been approved by my mother, and I have also invited more neighbors to take care of her. ”
Zigong bowed deeply to Kong Qiu, and what he did was Zhou Li, after all, his teacher had always advocated self-denial and revenge, so he was extremely harsh on etiquette, and as a disciple of his disciples, he should naturally do the same.
Kong Qiu looked at Zigong, his original intention was not to take him there, after all, the return date of the study tour has not been determined, and Duanmuci's old mother is not very healthy, in today's era, it is very likely to fall ill, Zigong should stay by his side to serve.
But this Duanmuci's mother is indeed a rare good mother, which can be seen from the fact that her son traveled far away and did not force him to stay.
You must know that the mother had to send eggs and rice as Duanmuci's tuition fees for his education, which shows her expectations for her son and the mother's strength.
"In that case, let's set off tomorrow, you go and inform your brothers first, and then accompany your mother, as for the return date, at least three years, at most five years, you will return, and it can be regarded as a thought for the old man." Kong Qiu said to Zigong, and then asked him to retreat.
"The students obeyed. Duanmu bowed and retired, in fact, he also knew that this was a white lie that his teacher had let him bring to his mother.
The land of Shenzhou is so vast, the number of countries is so large, how can they come back in three years and five years, and it is not those immortals who have become immortals and asked, traveling in the East China Sea, staying in the sky at dusk, they are just ordinary people who have not cultivated.
Today's study tour will inevitably increase knowledge and expand knowledge, but the day he returns, his mother must have turned into a piece of loess.
Naturally, there are many people in the same situation as themselves, but for the sake of the thirst for knowledge in their hearts and the respect of their teachers, they really can't think of any way to get the best of both worlds.
In desperation, I asked my parents to participate in this study tour, but many of them were refuted.
Duanmu Ci informed his brothers and sisters of the news of tomorrow's trip, and then returned to his home with a heavy heart.
It was a wooden hut that was not dilapidated, and there were some hens in the yard to lay eggs and subsidize the family.
Duanmuci's old mother watched her son come back, with a smile on her face, and then beckoned her son into the house as usual to cook, and she went to cook.
The gentleman is far away from cooking, and as a sensible mother, how could she let her son go to that filthy place.
Duanmu Ci entered the back room in a trance, waiting for his mother.
But after a while, the fragrant meal was served in front of Duanmu Ci.
The food was not flashy, but rustic, as usual.
It's all a bowl of white rice, a plate of stir-fried wild vegetables, a pot of vegetable porridge and a stir-fried slightly browned egg.
His mother's craftsmanship is not too good, no different from ordinary people, but it is such a meal, which makes Duanmu Ci eat very worried.
Duanmu naturally saw her son's situation, put down the bowl in her hand, and said to Duanmu Ci: "Ci'er, what kind of posture do you have, do you think the food I cook is difficult to swallow." ”
"Mother, it's not like that, it's just that Mr. has already set the hour, and tomorrow is about to go away, and Ci'er is a little reluctant in his heart after all. Duanmu Ci hurriedly explained.
"What's reluctant, Mr. is a good person, when he came to us to teach, he didn't charge us half a penny, now you can travel with Mr. It is a great honor, I am old, and I have no knowledge, but I know that you are the best choice to follow Mr. ”
Duan's mother taught her son a lesson, she was just a peasant girl, and she could know what the truth was, but she just came up with a few words that Mr. usually said, but the more this is the case, the more unbearable Duanmu Ci's heart is.
The mother and son did not eat quickly, but they also finished eating quickly.
After Duanmu cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Duanmu Ci said to his mother: "Mother, Mr. told me today that I will go on a study tour for as little as three years and as much as five years, and I will definitely return. ”
"I know, you are very good at studying by your husband's side, look good, although I am old, but not to the point where I can't do anything, not to mention this neighbor's neighbor, everyone takes care of it, you can rest assured to go, I will wait for you to come back at home." By the way, this is the clothes and dry food I prepared for you, after many years, you have to take care of yourself when you are outside, remember, and serve a good gentleman, without Mr. there would be no you now, you can remember. ”
Duanmu said a lot of words, and Duanmu Ci took it to heart, took the burden handed over by his mother, and rested early.
This is the truest portrayal of that time, the sunrise is made, the sunset rests, and it is even more impossible to study day and night, after all, oil was very expensive at that time.
Duanmu Ci tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, and naturally there were many people in the same situation as him, including his mother.
Although he said what he was talking about, how could he not be so reluctant and worried in his heart.
The golden rooster crows, the sun rises in the east, and the morning sun rises slowly, which naturally represents their dissipation.
This time, there were more than 20 students who accompanied Kong Qiu, including Zigong, Zilu, and Ziyan.
His parents also bid farewell at the intersection early, Kong Qiu got into the carriage, Zigong was responsible for driving the horses, this group of people left the Lu country in this way, and Kong Qiu's study tour officially began.
