Chapter 788: Journey to the West, Shi Egong (2 in 1)(1/2)
"Young Master..."
Uncle Yun on the side was startled and opened his mouth to dissuade him.
Although this young gentleman who is rumored in the market is indeed well-deserved, he is even more famous in person.
But after all, the young prince’s status is extraordinary. With the status of Jingguo Duke’s palace, even compared with the prince’s prince and grandson, he is not far behind.
Not to mention becoming his disciples, even the many gentlemen who give lectures are all world-famous and need to be screened and verified at all levels.
Moreover, the Daqian court prohibited officials from practicing Taoism and prohibited Taoist masters from serving as officials.
If you want to become a disciple so casually, or you should be a master of Taoism, I am afraid that the Duke of the country will blame him, and even the court and the emperor will have to intervene.
"Uncle Yun! No need to say more, I have my own thoughts."
Jing Yuxing said resolutely, and bowed to Hong Bichang again: "Please sir, please do it!"
Hong Pi looked surprised and said: "Young Master thinks too highly of me. How can I be worthy enough to receive such a great gift from the Duke?"
When Jing Yuxing came, he already knew it before he even got close to the courtyard.
The origin of the other party can be guessed based on his attire, accompanying escorts, and the name he blurted out.
He did not cover up or prevent the other party from "eavesdropping".
Because as he said before, he is not allowed to get involved here, and everyone can listen to what he says.
Hong Pi has a purpose, but this purpose is indeed not aimed at any one person, or it can be said that it is aimed at anyone.
It's nothing more than a sentence, the plan is very big, the only thing is to let nature take its course.
He wants to walk a noble road.
You can be a teacher for thousands of people, but you cannot be a teacher for one person.
Jing Yuxing, however, recognized him as such and almost begged, "Sir, is Yuxing really so unworthy of training?"
"Good Lord, I'm thirsty."
Hong Pi paid no attention to it. Instead, he turned his head and said something to a young man leisurely.
This young man is the young man in coarse cloth who dared to stand in front of a group of fierce and evil guards? He was stubborn and refused to take a step back.
Hearing this, he immediately turned around and ran into the house. He quickly ran out with a cup of tea.
That fart didn't look as stubborn as before.
Watch Hong Pi pick up the tea cup and drink the tea slowly.
Jing Yuxing opened his mouth, but no words came out.
This intention to see off guests is already obvious. If he keeps pestering him, wouldn't he be even more annoying if he loses his identity, let alone mentioning it?
"In that case? Yu Xing will leave first? I'll come back to visit you sir tomorrow."
Jing Yuxing had no choice but to say goodbye and leave for now, but he couldn't give up just yet.
Hong Pi ignored him.
If he teaches one person here, it is teaching, and if he teaches a hundred people, it is also teaching? As long as he abides by the rules here? It doesn't matter who comes.
"Sir, that person seems to have a good background. Sir, if you refute his reputation, will it be..."
After Jing Yuxing and his party left, the young man in coarse cloth named Shangshan stood beside Hong Pi with some worry and said.
"Ah,"
Hong Pi laughed in surprise, looked at the young man and said, "You have made some progress, you can even think of this."
The young man scratched his head: "Hey? It's all taught by the teacher."
Hong Pi shook his head and said with a smile: "Do you know that I named you Shangshan? What do these two words mean?"
"..."
The young man pondered for a moment and then said: "Sir once said that the best is like water, so my name comes from it, and the rest is unknown to the best."
Hong Pi patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "The best good is like water. Water benefits all things without fighting. It is what everyone hates, so it is almost Tao. I only don't fight, so there is nothing special about it."
There was a bit of confusion in Shangshan's eyes.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just remember these few words,"
Hong Pi didn't say much.
This young man is pitiful to say the least.
He is different from other children and is not a resident of Datongfang.
Instead, they were kidnapped and sold from seven southern provinces to Yujing City.
He was selected by a high-ranking official in the imperial court and wanted to buy it and take it back to serve as his successor.
But I heard that not long ago, a high-ranking official of the imperial court committed a crime and was dismissed from his post and questioned. His family was confiscated and his family was exterminated.
Because Shangshan had just been bought back, he didn't even have time to make arrangements or even put it on the roster, so he took advantage of the chaos and escaped by sneaking into a dog hole in a hidden courtyard of the palace.
After the officials who ransacked the house left, he escaped.
It's just that he was kidnapped from the south thousands of miles away and brought here. He has no friends and no money, so he can only beg on the streets.
Not long ago, I ended up living in Datongfang.
I heard that there was a learned young gentleman who taught people every day, regardless of whether he was rich or poor.
He came from a very poor background and did not understand any literary principles, and he could not even read Chinese characters.
It was only when I heard that the young gentleman was very young but had great abilities that I became curious and looked outside the small courtyard. I happened to hear Hong Pi giving a lecture to the children in the neighborhood.
Shangshan didn't understand it at all at first, but he was still attracted by what Hong Pi said.
From then on, I squatted at the foot of the wall outside the courtyard to listen to lectures every day.
Whether it was random talks, or elementary school texts, or scriptures, even if he didn't understand them, he could still listen to them with great interest.
But I never go into the yard.
Seeing that he was interesting, Hong Pi called him into the courtyard, asked about his origins, and felt pity for his plight, so he accepted him and made him a scholar.
With just an extra bowl of rice and a quilt, there is one more person to take care of his daily chores, saving him a lot of trouble.
The Great Qian dynasty destroyed the previous dynasty, the Great Zhou, but the Great Zhou resisted tenaciously, and war broke out in several southern provinces, which lasted for decades, and the remnants of the war are still lingering to this day.
The war continued, and the people were robbed, their families were destroyed, they were displaced, and they starved to death everywhere. There were countless people.
The Greater Good is one of them.
He doesn't even have a home, maybe he lost it in the war.
Ever since I was sensible, I have been tossed around in various professions.
Not to mention family members.
Maybe his relatives had already died in the war.
However, he was robbed and sold, but he survived. I don't know whether it was luck or misfortune.
He also has no name, only a serial number that is like a piece of merchandise in the mailbox.
So Hong Pi gave him a name.
I didn’t have any special intention, I just happened to think of what I had been doing these days, so I took it out casually.
Although he had a difficult life [chuǎn], he looked very honest and honest, even a little dull, but he was really dull...
But there is one good thing: he is very diligent and very accepting of death. As the saying goes, he is stubborn.
He almost couldn't understand what Hong Pi said every time.
Regardless of whether he understood it or not, he would memorize it, and then copy and recite it repeatedly until it was all engraved in his mind, and then he began to get to the bottom of it.
As long as you don't know a word, you must break the casserole and ask the truth.
He will never give up until the problem is clarified and solved thoroughly.
Hong Pi was unwilling and did not dare to cause trouble, so he set a number for himself and only asked three questions every day.
If you can't understand three questions, then others will be in trouble.
Obviously, with his IQ, he can ask three hundred questions a day, not to mention three.
There is no one who often comes to this small courtyard in Hongpi who has not been harmed by him.
Except for this shortcoming, everything is good. He is kind to others and will never refuse anyone who needs him.
I usually take the initiative to help my neighbors with their work.
Therefore, although people are a little afraid of his harm, no one hates him.
From Jing Yuxing's identity, he could think of the consequences of his refusal. It was a normal thought for others, but it was not easy for him.
So Hong Pi said this.
"Sir, don't worry about him, please continue telling the story!"
To be continued...
