Chapter 19: The Philosophy of Benevolence, Wisdom, Ritual and Righteousness (Part 2)
The simplest apology is like the carving knife in the hands of the Gongshu clan.
The reed flowers bulging with their cheeks because of their anger were slightly concave; the mouth that pouted with their anger was slightly convex; the face that was red due to their anger was slightly moist, and the apricot kernel that was a little disappointed and angry was carved into crescent moons.
After these angers were resolved by a simple apology, I felt a little embarrassed and worried, afraid that I would think more.
She could probably understand what Shi was worried about, but she always regarded Shi as the perfect person in her dream. Although she didn't like others saying that Shi was not good, she would be unhappy if Shi was a little worse than what she was in her dream.
Shi sighed and thought to himself that he would be like this when he got into the Mohist school.
Even if Mo Zi comes back in the future, he finds that something is a great thing to do, and then he says that you have a lot of ideas, just go there. Then he will use fear of death to rude away, and he is afraid that he will not have to dream of usurping the position of giants.
Although the group of people from the Mo family have never met, they can figure out what they look like. Those who are greedy and afraid of death may be chosen soon when they are giants.
After a little thought, he instructed: "Why didn't you let you go before? You also understand why. Remember, even if you go, you will only save people, not talk about the paradise, or the will of heaven. You have to promise me this. I am not afraid of death, but I think you and I should be seeds and will bear many ears and fruits in the future."
Lu Hua's face turned slightly red. She understood what she meant, but couldn't help but think a little more.
There are two types of ear fruits, the ear fruits of the Mo family, and the ear fruits of humans.
This kind of slight shame flashed by, and I also understood why this matter was so cautious.
The reason is very simple. In the so-called paradise, there are no scholars or positions of nobles in the hereditary fiefs.
"I see."
"Then go. Be careful."
Without further ado, the reed flowers carried a small flower basket woven by the children, containing some simple wood and stone utensils, and a few corn dumplings. For the first time, they tried to leave the village to go further and further.
Half a month later, I waited back with a heart-warming feeling, and listened to her talking about the things in the distance.
People from further afield began to come here, listening to what he had been saying.
Luhua used Artemisia annua to save the slaves on a nearby fiefdom of a small nobleman. After returning, he visited the man and asked him to come forward to help kill several pigs raised in the village. The boars were not bad and smelled fishy. Only by slandering pigs could it make pork the main meat in the summer.
He also learned a lot of herbs for raising horses from this slave, picking and sorting them one by one, and asking for tips.
After calculating the days, Shi finally felt at ease and felt that Mozi would be back soon. As long as Mozi came back and accepted himself as his disciple, he would never worry that his life was as cheap as a mama could be killed at will.
…………
A further place.
The slave who was rescued by Reed Flower with Artemisia annua is preparing a carriage for the young master, and the young master and his friends are going out.
He has been a slave for twenty years, and he has the best skills in raising horses within dozens of miles nearby. Not long after the horse was born, he could know whether the horse will look good in the future.
I live in stables on weekdays and pick some herbs for horses in midsummer, and I always have a faint fragrance of herbs on my body.
With this skill, the young master and his previous master were pretty good to him. He would reward him with some leftover wine and sometimes a piece of meat at the end of winter.
The young master is a gentleman who keeps politeness, and the slave always thinks so.
Including when he was seriously ill, he was cold and hot all day long. When it became cold, it seemed like he had fallen into an ice cellar. When it became hot, the young master did not drive him away and let him live in the stable.
This kind of kindness alone will be hard to repay even if you die.
The nu touched the hair on the red horse beside him, calming the somewhat reluctant horse, putting on the harness of the carriage, and taking a look at the young master who was chatting with his friends there.
The young master's name is Gongsun Ze.
Gongsun is very common at this time. Some are similar to Said in the Arab region, which belongs to a title, meaning that someone from his ancestors has a title, but he is a side branch and is not the eldest son.
Most of the people who were called Gongsun at this time were not from a family, and once they became prosperous in the future, they would no longer regard Gongsun as their clan. For example, Shang Yang was Gongsun Yang in the Wei State. Calling him Gongsun means that he has blood and is not a commoner. When his fiefdom to Shang in the future is Shang Yang.
Gongsun Ze's family is not prominent, but his ancestors are lucky. Every time the team stands correctly. In the Song Dynasty, the team is a big deal. If they stand in the wrong way, they will probably die and destroy them.
When Song Jinggong could not give birth to a child, he adopted him and made him the heir. As a result, as soon as Song Jinggong died, Prince De killed his brother Prince Qi and became Songgong. In this coup, Gongsun Ze's ancestors stood on Prince De's side.
Afterwards, two vassals under Song Gong fought in a civil war, and the Grand Sikong won, killed the Dazai, and expelled Song Gong by the way. During Song Gong's escape, Gongsun Ze's ancestors followed Song Gong's side and finally restored to the throne.
Even though Gongsun Ze's branch was not a major branch, he still had the status of a scholar when he arrived at Gongsun Ze.
Gongsun Ze's father was good at managing. Although he was just a side branch, he also had the power to dominate village serfs under the well-field system. He forced those village serfs to reclaim new land in the name of cultivating public fields. These were all private property at home and no taxes were required.
Their family's official title was a corporal, who nominally governed the land of Yidian. Once in a war, their family only needed to fulfill the feudal obligations of the corporal, provide a four-horse chariot and one hundred and fifty disciples.
However, the number of private land in their family far exceeds that of a dough. The serfs on the private land do not need to fulfill feudal obligations to the monarch, nor do they need to pay taxes to the monarch.
Gongsun Ze's father only collected in-kind taxes on his own private fields, but farmers in private fields did not need to serve the monarch's military service. Many people fled here and became farmers who depended on them.
Some serfs who originally worked in the well field also had to pay taxes and insufficient annual use, and exchanged for some money or corn for their children. These serfs became serfs under their name because they had to pay taxes and had insufficient annual use.
Now that Gongsun Ze's father has died, he has completed his mourning and has performed the ceremony of honor and become the head of the family.
From a moral perspective, Gongsun Ze was a true gentleman and a good person who conformed to his moral concepts at this time. It can even be said that he was one of the few gentlemen in the Song Dynasty.
The age of twenty-six is the best. His body is eight feet tall, his face is like a jade crown, and his shoulders are wide and his arms are long.
The thumbs that draw bows and archery all year round are thick and powerful, and are definitely not the kind of taxi with no power to tie a chicken.
When he was young, he learned Confucianism and always regarded a gentleman as the direction of his life. Although he dared not say that his six arts were exquisite, he also understood some of them.
He was wearing a dark straight hem with jade beside him, and more than one piece, a long string.
At this time, there are no underwear. If there is no jade pressing, it is easy for a gust of wind to expose things that should not be exposed, so a gentleman must wear jade.
Since you are a gentleman, you need to be polite in your words and deeds.
The jade on Gongsun Ze was strung together in cooked cowhide.
The teacher who taught him rituals once said that his temper was too fast, so he should use a stretchable cowhide as a group of ribbons. If those with too slow temper, they must use bowstrings as a group of ribbons. A gentleman should pay attention at all times, because these things can affect people's words, deeds and temperament.
The so-called gentleman must wear jade, fight the horn on the right, and the feather on the left, and move to pick the quad, walk to the qi, return to the qi, return to the qi, turn to the qi, return to the qi, turn to the qi, bow to it, and raise it when retreat, and then the jade rings.
Gongsun Ze also did a great job in this regard, which was the etiquette he learned after three years.
When a gentleman walks, he cannot walk fast, and must move forward in small steps.
When walking, when your left leg is in front, your body should lean forward; when your right leg is in front, your body should lean back. When walking, you should not walk too much to avoid exposing leg hair. If there is no special situation, you must go out without wearing jade to avoid the wind blowing your butt and being cool. The steps must be rhythmic, so that the jade can make a pleasant sound, and the sound of Gongshang Jiao Zheng Yu is sounded.
According to Gongsun Ze's gentleman in ancient times, when he walked, his rings and bells on his body could attract hundreds of birds.
Gongsun Ze felt it was difficult to learn this. After studying for three years, he learned how a scholar could walk. He suddenly realized that he had no limits to knowing it. He imagined the gentleman in ancient times, and only admired him.
He has always practiced the way of a gentleman in his life. When he was performing the crown ritual, a gentleman must wear a white deer skin hat to show that he can fight. However, he never hunted the white deer skin before the crown ritual, which has led to the first regret in his life.
I slowly walked to the carriage and looked at the slave with a good face. I was also concerned about the slave's condition. After all, I had been in love for so many years.
But when I think of the guests, if I talk to the slave at this time, I will neglect the guests. Moreover, talking to the guest and then talking to the slave is rude and will make the guest feel that he has the same status as the slave, which is very inappropriate.
There is no master in the family. Although driving is one of the six arts of a gentleman, a gentleman usually does not drive, so he is replaced by a slave.
As the road was bumpy, Gongsun Ze said a few words to his friend and heard someone singing in the field in the distance.
The tunes are very strange, they should be all country slang, so he didn't care.
But although I didn't care, I couldn't stop the lyrics and music from the continuous transmission to his ears.
He had studied "Poetry" and heard that this slang music was used in the pattern of "July", which was divided into month by month, telling the lives of each month.
"Poetry" cannot be learned by any person. If it is not taught by the teacher, it will often be unintelligible.
For example, in "The Pool of the East Gate", if it were a savage in the countryside, it would definitely think that this was a lewd song that men and women longed for each other, but it was not the case.
The teacher who passed on the poem once said that this seems to be a lewd song, but since it was practiced by the Master, he must think without evil, which has meaning.
This is the style of Chen State. Because the king is debauchery, the people of the country use this poem to metaphor it. It seems that a gentleman misses a lady, but in fact he is advising the king to miss a wise man!
Gongsun Zeshen agreed, so he did not allow the farmers and women under his land to sing some slang songs because they did not understand the meaning.
Now, a good song "Binfeng July" that is, which is changed to this, and is furious, and is fond of "Binfeng July", which is changed to this, and is furious.
The carriage was shaking and creaking, but it could not stop the strange songs coming from.
Gongsun Ze was furious and reached out to touch Niu Wei of Shu Yu, thinking about the meaning of Mr. He asked him to use Niu Wei as the group ribbon, and suppressed his anger.
