At about the second hour of Si, Zhao Yu and Jingnu came to Mr. Yang's residence.

It was not far away, just next door to the east of his house, about a few dozen steps.

Before he could get close, Zhao Yu heard an old voice coming from the room chanting: "...Those who conquer others with strength are not convinced by their hearts, and strength is not supported by their strength; those who conquer others with virtue are happy and sincerely convinced..."

"Mencius?"

Zhao Yu slowly walked to the open door and looked in surprise at an old man with white hair and beard in the room carrying one hand and holding a book in his right hand while reciting. He thought that the old man was Mr. Gongyang, the mother Zhou, whom he mentioned.

What is incredible is that the article that Mr. Gongyang just read was exactly the same as a certain chapter of "Mencius" in Zhao Yu's memory.

"how so?"

Zhao Yu was secretly surprised.

At this moment, a young and tender voice sounded in the room: "Sir, what if you can convince others with kindness and still not convince others, what should you do?"

Zhao Yu glanced in the voice and saw a young man of his age sitting behind a low table, asking the question in his heart to the Mr. Ram standing in front of him.

That was the brother who was born with Zhao Yu and was the same father and mother as Zhao Yin.

Hearing Zhao Yin's question, Mr. Gongyang pondered for a moment and said seriously: "A benevolent person moves it with emotion, a gentleman understands it with reason, and a villain seeks it with profit... If benevolence cannot convince people, you might as well lure it with fame and fortune, and everything will be bad."

Hearing this, Zhao Yu looked at the Mr. Yang a little surprised. After all, Mr. Yang seemed to be a well-educated man at first glance, and a well-educated man rarely talked to the professor's subject so... explicitly, pointing directly to the essence of the world.

Suddenly, Mr. Yang noticed Zhao Yu standing outside the door. After a little stunned, he showed some surprise in his eyes. He stroked his gray beard and smiled: "Hehe, this is really... a rare guest."

He might think that Zhao Yu might not be able to hear the ridicule and sarcasm in his words, but in fact Zhao Yu could hear it, so Zhao Yu quickly walked into the house and respectfully saluted the old man: "Mr. Gongyang."

『…』

Seeing Zhao Yu saluting to him respectfully and calling him Mr. Yang, a few confusion flashed in his eyes.

After all, he was entrusted by Zhao Jing, the Marquis of Luyang Township, to teach the two brothers. The two brothers used to call him Mr. But today, the second young master in front of him added another surname for some reason, which was a little distant.

"Oh, by the way! This second young master was traumatized while climbing a tree two days ago and lost his past memory."

Mr. Yang thought to himself.

"Brother, you are here."

At this time, Zhao Yinyi had already noticed his younger brother and greeted him. At the same time, he did not forget to ask about his younger brother's purpose for his visit. Perhaps in his impression, his younger brother Zhao Yu has always hated learning and rarely went to Mr. Yang's house to study in the past two years.

Looking at the two brothers with similar appearances in front of him, Mr. Yang stroked his white beards.

Mr. Gongyang had no prejudice at first about Zhao Yin and Zhao Yu, the brothers of Zhao Yu. After all, Zhao Jing, the Marquis of Luyang Township, respected him very much. However, after he taught for a while, considering that the two brothers had too different attitudes towards learning, he gradually became more focused on the eldest son Zhao Yin.

Of course, even so, Mr. Yang would not have any prejudice against the second son Zhao Yu. The problem is that Zhao Yu really didn't like to learn. He said a few words to the Marquis of Luyang Township but could not change it. So he gradually thought that Zhao Yu no longer existed and only focused on teaching the eldest son Zhao Yin.

But unexpectedly, the second young master came to him today.

After thinking about it, Mr. Yang stroked his beard and asked, "Is the second young master here today? Is it for his studies or... something else?"

Hearing this, Zhao Yu bowed and said, "I have something to ask for advice from sir."

"Oh?" A few surprises and surprises flashed in Mr. Yang's eyes, but he nodded and said, "Please speak."

Seeing this, Zhao Yu asked, "Mr. Gongyang, when I was chatting with my mother today, I talked about the emperor of this country. The boy was very interested in this, but my mother didn't know much about it, so I asked me to ask you. I wonder if you can tell me more?"

“…”

Mr. Gongyang looked at Zhao Yu a few times, nodded slowly and said, "Of course. The village marquis please come down to teach the two young masters. You should know everything and explain your questions to the two young masters, but..."

"but?"

Zhao Yu was very surprised: Could this old man have any conditions?

Just as Zhao Yu was puzzled, Mr. Yang explained the reason: "However, what the second young master wants to know is not included in the teachings of the next class. I will not delay the eldest son's studies and specifically solve the doubts for the second son. If the second young master wants to know, I can solve the doubts for the second son while resting..."

When Zhao Yu heard this, he realized that the two brothers had a great difference in the old man's mind, but he could understand it. After all, if it were him, I believe he would like the hardworking and studious ones more.

"Then thank you Mr. Yang."

After saying thank you, Zhao Yu showed a little hesitation on his face. He didn't know whether to stay here or turn around and leave, so as not to disturb his brother's study. After all, the Mr. Yang in front of him was not very close to him.

As if seeing his hesitation, Mr. Yang took the initiative to speak, "Since the second young master is rare today, why not learn something, okay?"

"Uh... OK." Zhao Yu hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

Seeing this, Mr. Gongyang nodded slightly, asked Zhao Yu to sit down at the empty table, and then turned around to the bookcase to search for something.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the old man turning around, Zhao Yin glanced at the Jingnv standing behind Zhao Yu and whispered to his younger brother: "Brother, I heard that my mother told Jingnv to take care of you?"

"Hmm." Zhao Yu nodded inexplicably.

With Zhao Yu's affirmation, Zhao Yin secretly glanced at the quiet girl standing not far away, and muttered with some envy: "Stupid brat..."

Seeing this, Zhao Yu felt a little funny.

Could it be that this cheap brother, who is secretly likes Jingniao in private? He is a young man...

But he didn't care. After all, in his opinion, this young brother only had a ignorant favor for Jingnv at best.

At this time, Mr. Gongyang had already turned around with a book, so Zhao Yin did not dare to talk to his younger brother anymore, and lowered his head and recited the articles in the book in front of him silently.

"Second Young Master."

After slowly walking to Zhao Yu, Mr. Gongyang bent down and spread the booklet in his hand on the low table in front of Zhao Yu. He nodded with his fingers one of the paragraphs and said, "Please recite this paragraph with the second young master."

Zhao Yu looked down at the part that Mr. Gongyang pointed.

That passage of text is about twenty or thirty words. Considering that Mr. Yang’s request was just Zhao Yu’s recitation, this is certainly not a difficult situation.

What surprised Zhao Yu was that he recognized these twenty or thirty words to be precise, what he recognized was this font. In his previous life, this font was called regular script.

Recognize it, but because Zhao Yu did not often use this font in his previous life, he still struggled to recognize it at this moment, so it was intermittent when he read it.

"...... The disciples will be filial to the point of coming in...; when they are out, they will be ungrateful, be cautious and trustworthy, and be broad-loving to love and be kind. If they have the extra strength to do things, they will learn literature."

While Zhao Yu was reciting, Mr. Gongyang stroked his beard and listened, nodding slightly from time to time.

I think he is testing whether Zhao Yu still remembers the words he taught after he lost his memory.

The results of the test satisfies Mr. Ram and is not satisfied.

Satisfaction means that the second young master was lucky enough to not forget the words he taught in the past; as for being dissatisfied, it was probably because he saw Zhao Yu chanting intermittently and thought that the second young master had abandoned his studies.

"Disciples come in and become filial, and leave with mercy, be cautious and trustworthy, love the people and be kind. If you have the extra effort, you can learn literature... This is the admonition of the saint."

After saying that, Mr. Gongyang looked at Zhao Yu again and said with a calm face: "Fortunately, I will teach the second son the words "The Second Prince" still remembers, but I will say bluntly that the second son should spend some energy on this. The ancients said that playing with things is disgusting. As the second son of the Marquis of Luyang Township, the second son should set great ambitions since childhood and work hard for this. It is not advisable to waste time because of playing around, so that he has no ink when he is old, which is despised."

To be fair, Mr. Gongyang did not want to persuade the second young master in front of him too much, because his past experience told him that it would be useless to say too much. He simply because of the high remuneration paid by the Marquis of Luyang Township, he reluctantly could not persuade the second young master in front of him again.

However, what comforted Mr. Yang was that at least the attitude of the second young master in front of him was quite satisfied.

"Thank you Mr. Gongyang for your teachings, kid, I remember it." Zhao Yu responded respectfully.

I don’t know if I think Zhao Yu can still make a contribution, or I don’t want to be ashamed of the heavy money that Zhao Jing, the marquis of Luyang Township, hired him. Although Mr. Gongyang said that he did not want Zhao Yu to appear to disturb the eldest son Zhao Yin’s studies, he sat down next to Zhao Yu and explained to Zhao Yu the “sage of the saint” that he had just read.

This saint's admonition comes from the "Analects of Confucius: Xueer" chapter, which records the advice or requests of Saint Confucius to his disciples, so it has another name.

Although the sage's advice only has twenty-five words, it involves filial piety, fraternity, sincerity, faith, love for the masses, kindness, and learning literature. It can be said that every word is the essence, and it is no wonder that Mr. Yang selected the two young masters in the mansion to teach the two young masters.
