Qin Shizhi's Confucian junior master

Chapter 5, Debate

The other party obviously didn't expect that Ziyou would directly reply back. He thought that he had met an unremarkable student from Xiaoshengxianzhuang and used him to improve his reputation, but he didn't expect to be directly returned by the reply.

Thinking of his father Chunyu Yi's purpose of letting him come to Jixia, it was to use Jixia's debate to become famous, so as to better recommend him to enter the court. When he was thinking about how to make his name famous, he saw Ziyou and saw Ziyou. Seeing that the other party was also a Confucian disciple, and his clothes were filthy, he wanted to use the other party to help him establish a reputation of being respectful, but he didn't expect to kick the iron plate.

Seeing that everyone around him looked over, Chun Yusheng was also a little timid. After all, in this era, people who can make carriages are not simple people. They are either rich or noble. will also be ridiculed.

So Chunyu Sheng bowed to Ziyou and said
"I'm Chun Yusheng, I don't know who you are?"

"It's just a country person. I don't know what your Excellency thinks about my clothes?" Ziyou said with a smile on his face.

Ziyou naturally guessed what the other party was thinking, otherwise, who would criticize someone else's clothes if they had nothing to do, what is the difference between this and slapping a passing dog when you are walking on the road?
"I don't dare to say that the beginning of etiquette and righteousness in "Book of Rites·Guanyi" lies in correct attire. Your clothes are dirty and your behavior is frivolous. The sage said that correct attire is the beginning of etiquette. If you are a person who observes rites, how can you inherit the teachings of the sages?" Chunyu Sheng said with serious words.

He knew that if he didn't want to be a laughing stock, he would have to resort to unscrupulous means to argue against the other party, and by looking at Ziyou's clothes, he knew that this was not some disciple of the master, maybe it was just a few books he had read, and he could still lose to him ?
"I really didn't expect that after the death of Mr. Chunyu Kun, the former sage of Jixia, a great Confucian, who saved the Qi State from danger several times, Chunyu's family would turn out to be a superficial person. If you were the official of the Qi State , I'm afraid your ancestors will never have the chance to display their ambitions in this life." Ziyou mocked.

Before Chunyusheng could speak, Ziyou continued

"I think you can be regarded as a person who has read the classics. Do you know that Zigong visited his master? The beginning of etiquette and righteousness lies in dressing properly. To be read so misrepresented by a person like you, I'm afraid if the sages of Confucianism know about it." Will jump up from the grave angrily.

The beginning of etiquette lies in the correctness of the body, the uniformity of the color, and the obedience of the words.Etiquette begins with correct appearance and clothing.A well-cultivated person must have a good posture, neat clothes, dignified expression, and decent speech.This is not only the expression of his inner self-cultivation, but also the expression of respect for others.

But when you look at people, you only look at the appearance, and judge others wantonly on both sides of the road. Is this your inner self-cultivation?Or is Chunyu's family's tutoring like this? "

Ziyou's series of attacks made Chunyusheng's face flushed, but he really didn't dare to speak. This matter was because he had a ghost in his heart, and the other party's refutation and education made him have nothing to say.

People around are also discussing this matter.

"I didn't expect Chunyu's family to have such a person."

"Yeah, you actually mean to look at others from the outside, so that you can be a teacher, and accuse others at will. I'm afraid you want to be famous and crazy?"

"This little gentleman doesn't seem to be very old, but he has such a deep understanding of rituals. He is indeed a man who has read a lot of scriptures."

Chun Yusheng's face flushed even more due to the mixed discussions around him, and he didn't dare to say anything, turned around and got into the carriage, and the groom beside him was also flushed, his young master was an uneducated and incompetent person in the family. He pretended to be a man who had read the scriptures all day long, but he didn't expect to lose such a big face here, so he didn't want to stay here for a moment, so he drove the carriage and left the team.

"I didn't expect you to have such an understanding of rituals." The startled salamander sitting in the carriage said.

Originally, Ziyou was a deviant Confucian scholar in the impression of Jing Xie, and the understanding of the sentence that "benevolent people are divided into two and die without pain is benevolence" is too shocking.

"I don't know much about rituals, but it's okay to deal with this kind of ignorant people who still want to make a big splash." Ziyou said nonchalantly.

Soon it was Ziyou's carriage to be inspected, Ziyou reminded
"It's our time, hide the Shocking Salamander Sword, so that no one will see it."

The startling salamander in the carriage did not reply, but the changed clothes and the startling salamander sword disappeared in the carriage, obviously hidden.

"Little Mister, please cooperate." The city general guarding the gate said to Ziyou.

"Please go ahead, but my wife has just given birth, so please forgive me for being inconvenient." Ziyou replied.

"Of course, we are just a routine, please forgive me if there is any inappropriateness." The guard said, and waved his hand to signal the two soldiers to check the carriage, but they just glanced at the interior of the carriage casually.

Seeing the startled salamander in the car with a pale face and holding a child in his arms, he didn't check anymore, just based on Ziyou's polite remarks just now, he had already established a good character for Ziyou.

This era is like this, that is, the bandits will even escort someone who is famous. Although this is an era of broken etiquette, the view of reputation is extremely important.

Many countries will let famous people serve as officials. In this era of lack of selection system, although reputation cannot be guaranteed, it can still select some capable people.

After bowing to the guard, Ziyou drove the carriage towards the city. As expected of Linzi, the capital of Qi State, it was extremely prosperous. Ziyou had traveled to many places in the past two years, but there was no place that could compare with Compared with Linzi, it is not even as good as the villages around Linzi.

Looking at the bustling streets and pedestrians, Ziyou's face was expressionless and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Where are we going next?" the startled salamander asked.

"Look for an inn to stay in. There is no place for guests to stay overnight in Jixia Academy except for internal personnel." Ziyou said.

Soon the two came to an inn.

"Boss, two guest rooms." Ziyou said to the boss.

"I'm sorry, guest. You also know that the debate at Jixia Academy has restarted. There are many people watching the excitement. We only have one guest room left. It's a coincidence that you came. A guest has returned a room. Otherwise, you really won’t be able to book a room, and the inns around here basically have no rooms.” The boss said with a smile.

Ziyou looked at the startled salamander, and the startled salamander nodded expressionlessly.

She doesn't care about this kind of thing, and she is not a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken. If Ziyou really wants to do something, the startling salamander sword in her hand is not a vegetarian.

Seeing the startled salamander, he didn't say anything, Ziyou paid the rent without hesitation, and asked someone to bring some food.
