Sun Ce understood Yuan Quan's good intentions.

The wise Confucius said that a gentleman would not be powerful if he was not serious. Later generations said that the three generations had achieved a noble. In fact, they all said the same truth: a nobleman not only had a status, but also had cultivation. In the current words, he paid attention to etiquette and did not be rude. He should be polite, be polite, be polite, and be polite, and he should not make mistakes in his words and deeds. It is best to have a Confucian background, and he should quote a few sentences to poetry.

This cannot be achieved in one or two generations. It requires long-term training. It will be smooth for three generations to achieve a noble.

Sun Ce was a commoner in his previous life, and in this life he was a martial artist. Before Sun Jian, the Sun family of Fuchun was a powerful local tyrant with small assets. Sun Jian was the first generation of officials and Sun Ce was the second generation of officials. The father and son were both martial artists. They fought bravely and had a strange etiquette. They had no background in classics and were still 108,000 miles away from the standards of the nobles. Sun Jian was despised by Wang Rui, Zhang Zi, and Sun Quan were frivolous and unpretentious. It was not that they were really frivolous, but that they did not meet that set of etiquette standards. As for Sun Ce's generation, perhaps only the fourth brother Sun Kuang and the fifth brother Sun Lang had the opportunity to study and learn etiquette from a young age, and they could be like a nobleman in the future.

The Lu Yi mentioned by Yuan Quan, Zhuge Liang and Zhu Ran are a good example. The Lu family is a Wujun family, and the Zhuge family is a Langya family. Both are aristocratic families that have lasted for more than a hundred years. Even if they have never had a prominent family, they are also families with status in the local area. The etiquette of treating people and things has been influenced by them since childhood. At first glance, they are a family of aristocratic families. Zhu Ran is much inferior. Whether it is the Zhu family or the Shi family, their background is not much different from that of the Sun family. When he and Lu Yi and Zhuge Liang stand together, the difference is very obvious.

Yuan Quan raised the three of them as a polite person and did not embarrass Zhu Ran. This is a kind of etiquette in itself.

Sun Ce could understand Yuan Quan's good intentions, but he did not intend to accept them. In his opinion, the nobles also distinguished between true and false. The real nobles respected others from the bottom of their hearts, understood others, tolerated different opinions without losing self-esteem and confidence, rather than just that set of rituals. If you brutally trampled on others or your own personality, while emphasizing your behavior of advancing and retreating, being polite in front of you and cursing behind your back, this is not aristocrat, this is hypocrisy.

Confucianism has this problem. Fortunately, it can only be regarded as the first sign of a new outlook, and later generations are particularly prosperous. Scholars are basically synonymous with hypocrites. A true gentleman is one of them in a million. This is not that people's hearts are not as old as the world is declining, but that Confucianism's knowledge is born with this gene. The Master said that if you love the sheep, I love the etiquette. Even if you are already rude, you still have to keep the sheep. It's not that formalism?

Sun Ce didn't like that. He came to this era not to save these red tape, but to clear them out.

Sun Ce twisted his fingers and looked at Yuan Quan who was lying in front of him and worshiping him for a long time. "Sister, is there anything I hurt you?"

"I am lucky enough to be favored by my husband and I am grateful for it. Therefore, I cannot bear to watch and dare to follow the foolish and sincere."

"I have insulted any civil and military officer under my command. Have I lost the trampling?"

"Honey is sincere to civil and military officials, and has a great responsibility to have a wise king's mind." Yuan Quan became more respectful. "I am bold in making suggestions, not because my husband is unethical, but because he is worried that someone will be arrogant because he will be arrogant because he will let down his husband's sincerity. Husband is a ritual, and the reason why saints treat human feelings is idle and their evil tools are preventing problems before they happen. If the husband wants to achieve success for thousands of years, he must not ignore it."

"Why do my sister think it's better to treat people with sincerity or to treat people with courtesy?"

Yuan Quan was silent for a moment and said, "Sincerity is not a fish, and etiquette is not a bear's paw, and it is not impossible to get both. The poem says: It comes from emotion, and it stops from etiquette. It shows sincerity inside, politeness outside, and gentlemanly."

Sun Ce nodded and said, "Although it is not a square, round, but it is not a combination of heaven. With the wise master, there is still a embarrassment of having to see Yang goods, let alone others? Is it less to have to be rude due to etiquette? If sincerity and etiquette cannot be both, which one should I choose?" Without waiting for Yuan Quan to speak, Sun Ce said, "For example, although I am grateful for my sister's sincerity, I do not agree with my sister's approach. Is it better to say it in person or be polite and respond to the story?"

Yuan Quan froze and paused again. "I'm...I'm ignorant."

Sun Ce got up, walked to Yuan Quan, bent down and pulled her up. Yuan Quan didn't know if it was because of his kneeling for a long time or because of embarrassment, his pink face turned red, and he was embarrassed to look at Sun Ce, lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, and was uneasy. Sun Ce chuckled and touched her hot face.

"Sister, don't put the cart before the horse."

"I'm..." Yuan Quan stuttered, speechless.

After Sun Ce pulled Yuan Quan back to the case, he sat side by side. "Have you put a lot of effort into "Mencius" recently?"

"Whether the wind comes, it is slightly involved."

Sun Ce smiled, but did not point it out. Lu Kang printed Zhao Qi's "Mencius Chapters" and Lu Yi was talking about reading "Mencius" by him. Yuan Quan could not be unclear. When she read "Mencius" and quoted "Mencius", she inevitably had the meaning of catering, and she did not use her heart to do it, but she did not understand the truth. When he read "Mencius" and even practiced Mencius's way, it was not that he wanted to act according to Mencius' standards, but that some of Mencius's doctrines met his goals.

"Cibo and Mencius are called together. Is there any difference between Confucius and Mencius?"

“Of course there is.”

"If you were asked to choose, which one would you choose?"

"I..." Yuan Quan pondered, not knowing how to answer for a moment. Confucius was a saint, and criticizing a saint was rude. Mencius was one of the sages. Although his status is increasing day by day, some people call him a sub-sage, but he is not as good as Confucius after all. It is not easy to choose one of these two people."

"Why do you need to choose one?" Huang Yueying shrugged and said carelessly: "Choose the good and follow it, and abandon the bad and abandon the bad."

Yuan Quan did not dare to refute Sun Ce directly, but was not afraid of Huang Yueying. He immediately lowered his face and said angrily: "A Chu, how can a saint be evil?"

Huang Yueying disagreed and smiled. "Even if you don't mention the Yang Huo incident that husband mentioned just now, the Master said, "Only women and villains are hard to raise" is enough. My sister is generous and doesn't mind being on par with villains, but I have been resentful about this sentence for a long time. Of course, Mencius is not blameless. Although his article is satisfying to read, if you think about it carefully, you just talk to yourself and cannot stand the test."

"A Chu!" Yuan Quan raised his voice and became stern. "Wang Zhongren asked Kong Tumen, his courage was commendable, but it was necessary to discuss it. As a sacrificial sacrificial sect in Wujun Mu Academy, you are not an ordinary woman. You must be cautious in every word and act, and do not act voluntarily and slander your husband."

"I am me, what do you have to do with my husband?" Huang Yueying's eyes rolled. "Sister, I won't comment on whether you read "Mencius" well. "The Book of Shi Lu" is not very good. I am really sorry for your husband's good intention to save the world."

Yuan Quan's face turned white. Sun Ce saw it and quietly patted Huang Yueying's little butt. Huang Yueying gave him a blank look, then smiled and said, "Sister, I have no other intentions. I just think my sister is stubborn and kindly reminds her, don't get me wrong."

Yuan Quan looked at Huang Yueying deeply, then looked at Sun Ce. With her intelligence, how could he not see the small movements between Sun Ce and Huang Yueying?
