Ding! Ding!

Shortly after Chai Lingwu took his seat, the loud bell echoed in every corner of Hongwenguan.

The chaotic sounds in the school disappeared, and they all sat upright with fear.

It seems that those great scholars have been terrified of these royal families and ministers, otherwise these playboys would not be so scared.

Just think about it, these well-known scholars in China are not only cultured and famous, but also have the power to fabricate these powerful children. If they contradict the scholars, they will only seek hardship.

So, it's normal to be afraid.

Chai Lingwu thought of this festival and looked at the ancient school curiously!

There are about fifty seats in the school, each seat is a table table and a soft cushion for kneeling on the lower bunk.

There are pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table. Each table has rice paper, and the rest is all hard yellow paper. The surface of this paper is shiny and moist, has good toughness and strong transparency, but a layer of wax is obviously coated on the surface. As soon as the paper is folded, the wax will fall off and wrinkle, and the paper surface is no longer neat.

The texture of hard yellow paper is better than that of the 21st century's dark paper, but despite this, it is affordable for only the royal family and the nobles. Ordinary families can only use bamboo paper that is as hard as cookies and broken at one time!

As for rice paper, it can only be made after one year, because it needs to be soaked, ash masked, steamed, bleached, pulping, water fishing, glue adding, and patched with flooding.

Therefore, rice paper is extremely expensive and ordinary people dare not think about it.

Even a top institution like Hongwenguan can only provide each student with a piece of rice paper every day.

This shows how precious paper is now.

"Look for some skilled craftsmen another day to see if they can make papermaking." Chai Lingwu thought silently.

Paper has become rampant in the 21st century, and the country has advocated paperless offices. He will not make paper in a boring manner, but there is a theoretical knowledge of papermaking.

He has read too many time travel novels! After reading too many plots of making money by making paper, he will inevitably search for theoretical knowledge of papermaking.

Over time, various theoretical knowledge has been accumulated in vain.

Just as Chai Lingwu was reviewing the papermaking process, an old scholar in green clothes entered the school, which was different from the "cramming education" that Chai Lingwu guessed.

This old scholar did not attend class directly.

But!

Review the past.

In short, it is to let students raise their own doubts one by one!

The old scholar answered one by one.

This will deepen students' impression of the knowledge they have learned.

Li Chengqian asked the first question.

He stood up and asked, "Sir, the saints often say, 'A gentleman stays away from the kitchen', but some imperial chefs are men. Are they not gentlemen?"

"Otherwise!" The Confucian scholar shook his head, his eyes turned around, and finally settled on Chai Lingwu, saying, "Chai Lingwu, can you solve the confusion of His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Chai Lingwu was stunned. He never dreamed that the old Ru fired himself.

Others showed a joke-taking look.

"Hmm?" The old Ru saw Chai Lingwu not answering for a long time, and hummed solemn.

Chai Lingwu stood up with a tough bullet and bowed, "The students have some simple opinions about the 'gentleman staying away from the kitchen'. If they don't answer well, please forgive me."

What if he doesn't matter, show the enemy to the weak first.

The Confucian scholar said: "You should tell me your own opinions. I will make a decision on whether it is correct."

"Since that's the case, students try their best to understand."

The Confucian scholar nodded slightly and signaled Chai Lingwu to continue.

Chai Lingwu said: "A gentleman stays away from the kitchen" comes from "The Chapter of King Hui of Liang". The original saying is 'No harm, it is a benevolent technique. When seeing a cow but not a sheep, a gentleman is a beast, and when seeing a beast, he cannot bear to see his death; when hearing the sound, he cannot bear to eat his meat. Therefore, a gentleman stays away from the kitchen.'"

"This means: a gentleman cannot bear to see them die when he sees them alive; he cannot bear to eat their meat when he hears them crying. Therefore, a gentleman always stays away from the kitchen."

"It's just that later generations took things out of context, so there was a wrong interpretation of 'A gentleman and a man should stay away from the kitchen'."

"So, when we study the classics of the saints, we should read and understand them in context. Because in an article, no word or a sentence exists in an isolated existence; it is always combined with other words and sentences to form a complete meaning! A word or a sentence is expressed in different articles and different contexts, and the meanings expressed are different."

Everyone suddenly looked at Chai Lingwu like a monster. No one expected that a poor student would say such a thing.

Because ancient Chinese texts do not have punctuation and breaking sentences, and do not have fixed translations, the same sentence will produce millions of understandings.

The ancients also liked to take out the excerpts of saints from out of context to express their meaning, so many golden sentences were misinterpreted.

Chai Lingwu's theory of "combining context reading comprehension" is eye-catching, and it seems more appropriate than the way Mr. interprets the articles to them.

The Confucian scholar thought for a moment and said, "Yeah, it's good, very good, sit down!"

After Chai Lingwu sat down, he said to Li Chengqian: "'The gentleman stays away from the kitchen' first came from the Book of Rites *Yamo. Jia Yi of the Han Dynasty quoted it as 'The New Book of Rites' as 'Therefore, the kitchen is far away from the kitchen, and the most benevolence is the ultimate."

"'A gentleman stays away from the kitchen' was praised and promoted by his ancestors as a kind virtue! This is just to persuade kind people who cannot bear to kill to stay away from the kitchen! It does not mean that gentlemen should stay away from the kitchen."

The Confucian scholar continued: "I have been in the kitchen a lot, and I have never looked down on the chef!"

The students were stunned.

Li Chengqian stammered and asked, "Mr. Kong, have you ever served in the kitchen?"

Obviously, this old man is Kong Yingda, the owner of Hongwen Hall.

"Who has never cooked during the war?" Kong Yingda said: "Cooking is the most basic skill for a person to survive. If you don't know how to cook, you will starve to death one day? So, don't underestimate cooking!"

"In my opinion, it is shameful to be spoiled, not diligent in all four bodies, and not to distinguish between grains."

Chai Lingwu looked at Kong Yingda and was a little stunned. Didn’t his old man say that Kong Yingda is ungrateful and pedantic?

Now it seems, it doesn't look like it at all.

Kong Yingda ignored the students' shock and said, "Okay! Next question."

The little loli of Changle stood up and said, "Sir, the student has a question to ask for advice."

"What is your highness's problem?" Kong Yingda asked.

"Sir..." the little loli raised her face and asked innocently: "What is fiancée?"

In an instant, the quiet school suddenly fell into a sea of ​​joy.

Kong Yingda twitched the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "Fiancée is..."

He was speechless after just halfway through his words.

What is a fiancée?

What else can a fiancée be?

If you want to answer this question, it is really hard to answer.

Kong Yingda asked back, "Why are you asking this?"

"Father, mother all say that I am Lingwu's fiancée!" The little loli said with a confused look on her face: "But I don't know what the fiancée is! After asking, they didn't tell me."

"The father said that Mr. Kong is the world's largest scholar and has unparalleled knowledge. You must know, right?" The little loli looked innocent and innocent.

"Your Highness, what is your fiancée?" Kong Yingda asked Li Chengqian.

"This..." Li Chengqian scratched his head and said with a embarrassed look: "It's really hard to say."

He turned his head and looked at a handsome and gentle guy and said, "Du He, what is his fiancée?"

Du He was stunned and asked Kong Yingda: "Sir, what do you think of your fiancée?"

Suddenly, the problem returned to Kong Yingda.

"Chai Lingwu, you are the fiancé of Your Highness. Explain what your fiancée is to Your Highness!" Old Man Kong slowly walked to Chai Lingwu, with a smug smile on his lips.

"Cousin, what is a fiancée? What is a fiancé?" the little loli asked anxiously.

have to!

When Chai Lingwu came to his head, one problem became two.

"The fiancée is..." Chai Lingwu looked at the teacher who cheated the student in anger and had to use his brain: "The fiancée is the future wife, and the fiancé is the future husband, well, that's it."

"The future wife, the future husband?" The little loli blinked and said in confusion: "What is the wife? What is the husband?"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Now, one question becomes four.

"This... is like..." Chai Lingwu's forehead was sweating, and he waved his hands randomly in the air. Suddenly, he had an idea and thought: "It's like your father and your mother... Well, your mother was your father's fiancée when she was young, and your father was your mother's fiancé when she was young! Do you understand?"

"So that's how it is!" The little loli suddenly realized: "Wife, what is husband?"

Chai Lingwu asked, "You know, bride?"

"I know!" the little loli nodded.

"After the fiancée becomes the bride of the fiancé, it is the married relationship between men and women. At this time, the two of them removed the word "unmarried". So the woman became the man's wife, and the man was the woman's husband."

The little loli blinked and asked again, "Then, wife, is the husband just together all the time?"

Chai Lingwu was sweating wildly: "Yes, that's it."
