Chapter 866: The Three Character Classic
"The young master refuses the Ziqian family so much, if it .................."
Fu Bo sent Wu Yuanqing away, and when he returned to the mansion, he saw that Morton was pondering in the living room, and he couldn't help but worry for a while. The Ziqian family can be said to be the oldest hundred schools, and their power is deep-rooted, and the Mo family and its opposition may not be of much benefit.
"It's okay!" Merton shook his head and said, "The reason why I directly rejected the Ziqian family is that the Ziqian family is not credible because they are all mercenary, and it is the norm to rebel for the sake of profit in the future."
Second, the Mo family and the Ziqian family are different from each other, the Ziqian family is to suck blood on the people of the world and make money by any means, while the bank loan of Mojia Village is to let the merchants and workshops tide over the difficulties, so that the people, merchants, the court, and the Mo family can benefit, and sometimes even do not account for the money and income, if you cooperate with the Ziqian family, one day there will be a trouble. ”
Fu Boruo nodded thoughtfully.
"Of course, there is another reason, and that is Mei Niang!" Merton's eyes showed a hint of determination. Mei Niang lives in a family with no family affection, and is persecuted by the Wu family, if he cooperates with Wu Yuanqing, where will he use her?
"Mei Niang! Listening to other Mo family children, Mei Niang has been depressed since she came back from outside the city. Fu Bo frowned, he naturally knew about the martial arts, Mei Niang originally thought that it was after her father's death, but she didn't expect that even her father, who she had always admired, was a person of affection, which made her a little broken.
"It's okay, I'll enlighten him personally another day." Merton said indifferently. Although Wu Meiniang is young, after all, she is a famous empress in later generations, and he doesn't think that this problem can knock her down.
However, what he didn't expect was that he hadn't gone to find Wu Meiniang yet, and Wu Meiniang actually found it in person.
"Meet the Master!" In the study, Wu Meiniang's tense little face saluted solemnly.
"It turned out to be Mei Niang, what's the matter with finding a teacher?" Mo Dun relieved the ink scripture in his hand, and said with a smile, he knew that Wu Meiniang was in a bad mood these days, and he didn't leave any schoolwork.
Wu Meiniang wanted to speak and stopped, and finally gritted her teeth and said: "The apprentice came today to bid farewell to the master." ”
"Why is that?" Merton exclaimed. He never thought that such a thing would come out of Wu Meiniang's mouth.
Wu Meiniang said with a painful face: "The apprentice was born in the Ziqian family, the father and the brother are all members of the Ziqian family, the Ziqian family is notorious, and the Mo family is a thousand-year-old reputation, if the world rumors that the Mo family accepts Meiniang as a disciple, I am afraid it will definitely tarnish the reputation of the Mo family." ”
Morton waved his hand and said: "The reputation of the Mo family is not something you can ruin, you are not afraid of being a teacher, what are you afraid of?" ”
Wu Meiniang lowered her head and said: "The master's love and care Mei Niang has it, but the greedy blood of the Ziqian family flowing in Mei Niang's body is probably not worthy of this blessing." ”
Only then did Merton suddenly understand that the reason why Mei Niang was like this probably came from Wu Yuanshuang's words, because she was born in Ziqian's family and had low self-esteem.
Merton thought of this and suddenly showed a trace of love, when he accepted Wu Meiniang as an apprentice, he was out of curiosity about the empress in history, but after a few months of contact, Merton has accepted this apprentice from the heart, and now he has changed the trajectory of Wu Meiniang's life, how can she let her repeat the mistakes of the past.
At that moment, Morton got up and sighed: "This matter is the fault of the teacher, who has been teaching you the Mo family's ink skills, but forgetting that you are just a little girl in her teens, and you still need mental enlightenment."
"Master, I ......," Wu Meiniang shook her head and argued.
Merton waved his hand, stopped Wu Meiniang's words, and said loudly: "You think that you were born into the Ziqian family and were born evil, but you don't know that this is a big mistake. ”
"Everyone in the world says that human nature is inherently evil, the son of the wicked must be evil, and the son of the sinner must be from sin, and the teacher confirms that there is no good or evil in human beings, everyone is just born and is as pure as a blank piece of paper, and what really distinguishes good from evil is the acquired environment and education, not the identity and life experience at birth.
"Man is not born good or evil?" Wu Meiniang couldn't help but be stunned there, when she learned her true life experience, she had always felt inferior to her life experience, but she didn't expect that it was a completely different answer in the master's mouth.
"Yes, the teacher wants to tell you directly that human nature is good, but the teacher doesn't want to lie to you." Merton sighed.
Wu Meiniang frowned and said: "But as far as I know, when people are just born, they will only occupy endlessly, and they will cry loudly when no one cares, and they will try their best to occupy them when they see delicious and fun things, and they will not divide people.
"Also, it is said that when the bird has just broken its shell, the strong bird will squeeze the emaciated young out of the nest and let it fall to death, but the food of the mother bird is still the same for both humans and beasts, so why is it not the nature of human nature?" Wu Meiniang said stubbornly.
Merton shook his head and said: "The biggest difference between humans and animals is that animals are completely animalistic, while humans have both animality and human nature, and animality is the instinct of any animal to find food to make a living, and it is innate, just like a baby has its mother alone, and a young bird falls to death its brother."
Of course, the best way is to educate, and after people are sensible, they will slowly know how to share and love their brothers. ”
"Human nature and bestiality?" Wu Meiniang was dumbfounded, it was the first time he had heard of such a theory.
Merton nodded and said: "So birth and childhood do not determine a person's good and evil, and what really determines a person's good and evil is nurture, although you were born in the Ziqian family, but you are influenced by my Mojia concept, becoming a good person or a bad person depends entirely on yourself, not your background." ”
"It's up to me?" Wu Meiniang muttered to herself.
"You have been obsessed with ink skills recently, but you have forgotten your shortcomings in the enlightenment mind, but fortunately, you have made up for the loss of the sheep, and the teacher has a book of "Three Character Classics" to teach you, as your enlightenment book, it will definitely solve the confusion in your heart."
"The Three Character Classic? Is there a book? Wu Meiniang shook her head and said, Merton's collection of books can be said to be extremely complete, but she has turned over the books in the study many times, and she has never heard of the "Three Character Classic".
"This is specially made for you by the teacher, can you listen well?" Merton said loudly.
"Disciples, listen to Master's teachings." Wu Meiniang solemnly held the gift of a disciple.
"At the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away......"
The "Three Character Classic" in later generations was created in the Song Dynasty, which is not only catchy, but also a mixture of various knowledge of the subset of scripture and history, which is a classic enlightenment that has been inherited for thousands of years.
Merton modified it slightly, changing the original Confucianism to a hundred schools, and the history after the Tang Dynasty was all revised and replaced with the classic characters of a hundred schools, which can be seamlessly connected.
Wu Meiniang wrote it down carefully, and it was like an empowerment.
"However, didn't the master just say that there is no good or evil in human nature? Why does the Three Character Sutra say that human nature is inherently good? After Wu Meiniang wrote it down, she thought for a moment and asked.
"Although there is no good or evil in human nature, we must promote good and suppress evil in educating others, and naturally advocate the inherent goodness of human nature." Merton did not hide anything from Wu Meiniang, but said bluntly.
"I see." Wu Meiniang said solemnly, and the depression in her heart was suddenly swept away.
