About Lao Tzu, Confucius had already heard about it.

The first time I heard the name Lao Tzu was told to him by Fang Jishi. Fang Jishi said that he was a future saint and compared him to Lao Tzu, which gave him a great encouragement at that time.

He was at that time! The trough of life and the confusion period of life.

Afterward! When I came into contact with Lu Gong (Lu Zhaogong) and Ji Pingzi, I heard about Lao Tzu again. The legendary Lao Tzu was a man of great learning. Reputedly! He is recognized as the No. 1 talent of the Great Zhou today. With him, no one dares to say that he is the best in the world.

Lao Tzu was particularly smart when he was a teenager and excelled in his youth. Later, through the assessment of the Zhou Dynasty, he successfully entered the Zhou collection room and carried out the sorting and restoration of ancient books. Since entering the Zhou Library, his knowledge has greatly improved.

To know! The Zhou Library was the royal library of the Zhou Dynasty, and there were all kinds of books in it. When Lao Tzu sorted out and restored the ancient books of the Zhou Dynasty, he not only had profound knowledge, but also saw more ancient books. It is conceivable: after such accumulation, what kind of learned person will Lao Tzu be today?

Confucius also wanted to be a learned person like Lao Tzu, who devoted himself to learning and didn't care about the affairs of the monarchy. But he? Not as learned as Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu was a person who had received a formal education and had a certain foundation. And he! Because of the difficulties of family life, they did not receive formal education. In this regard, he is inferior to Lao Tzu.

Although he was also very intelligent and had a good memory, he did not receive a formal education and did not complete his studies. Because of the difficulties in family life, in order to reduce the burden of his mother's life, he became sensible and worked part-time. Therefore! He joined the "Funeral Band" and became a wind musician.

And then later! He dropped out of school.

Later, when he encountered the cornerstone above, he began to study on his own and learned some knowledge.

So! In terms of learning, he has self-knowledge, which is incomparable with Lao Tzu.

Lege did not notice Confucius's distraction and continued to talk about the events of the time. led Lao Tzu into the palace, how to arrange him, and then arrange for Zhou Tianzi to meet...... Wait a minute.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! Confucius listened and thought about it while responding to it.

"Brother-in-law, you?" Only then did Le Ge discover: Confucius was absent-minded.

"Me? I'm fine! Only then did Confucius come back to his senses.

"You still say you're okay? You? What are you thinking? Aren't you asking me about things? You? What are you thinking? You? ”

Lege thought to herself: Where are we chatting and talking about things? You're asking me about the situation, but you're thinking about your own thoughts?

"Me? I'm fine! When Confucius saw that he was being questioned by Lege, he had to admit: "I'm thinking? What does the Zhou Zang Room look like? What does Lao Tzu look like? What kind of person is Lao Tzu? ”

"Lao Tzu is a white-haired old man! Very good at pretending! Dressed in white, spotlessly clean and eye-catching! He was tall, but weakened. ”

"He's white-haired and white-clothed?"

"Hmmm! He is white-haired, white-dressed, and loves to pretend! He's a teenager white! His hair was much grayer when he was younger, and gray when he was young. Middle-aged! Because of an incident, I was so anxious that I lost my hair in one night! ……”

"Oh? Oh? ”

When he was a teenager, he was in a hurry and didn't have a lot of books to read, so he was so anxious that his hair turned gray. When you are young! He was anxious that his knowledge was so limited and that he had read too few books. Outcome! He turned a lot of gray hair. Middle-aged! Something happened to his family, Chen Guo had an accident, and Da Zhou had an accident, as soon as he was in a hurry, his hair turned white in one night! ……”

"Oh?"

"Lao Tzu is also a person who has feelings, attaches great importance to feelings, has a country, a family, a wife and children, and is an ordinary person. It's different! He's got brains! Love to use your brain. In the face of reality, he is just as anxious. But! He was also helpless! The power of the individual is so weak that he cannot do anything to turn the tide......"

The music is gushing endlessly, with an exaggerated and smooth taste.

"Oh?" Confucius nodded in response, and then interrupted, "What's going on in the Zhou Tibetan room?" How many books are in it? ”

"The Zhou collection room is in the imperial palace in Luoyi City, he is the royal library, and he naturally serves the royal family. It is a large hall with wings around it. The Zhou Zang Room is an independent courtyard, and there are guards at the door, and idle people are not allowed to enter.

Although the Zhou storage room is the royal library, but! It is not definitely for the royal service, and it is also open to the world's talents.

Of course! Not everyone can get in. Even though you are a genius, if no one introduces you, let alone enter the Zhou Zang Room, you will not be able to enter the palace......"

"Wait!" Confucius interrupted: "Can outsiders also enter the Zhou Library to read books?" ”

"Yes?" Lege promised: "But! Not just anyone can get in! There must be an introducer! Brother-in-law? You wouldn't want to go, would you? ”

"Me?" Confucius smiled bitterly: "Of course I want to go!" ”

"You can go if you want? I'll give you a word, and you'll be able to enter the palace!" Of course! I may not be able to see my father! When you go in, you can only stay in the Zhou Zang room and read. I told Lao Tzu that he should have an impression of you! ”

"What did you tell Lao Tzu?" Confucius asked.

"I said my brother-in-law Confucius? He is a native of Lu, very good! ”

"You?" Confucius laughed angrily at the music.

He said! Alas! ”

What did he say? What did Lao Tzu say? Confucius saw that the music song was slurring and spitting, and asked anxiously.

"I said Confucius is my brother-in-law! I said my brother-in-law is very talented! My brother-in-law ......"

"What did you say? You? Confucius asked.

He didn't know what Le Ge was talking nonsense in front of Lao Tzu? Is it ruining his good image.

"I'll just say that you are very knowledgeable, and you have set up a private school in Qufu City in Lu State, not for fame or profit, but for education......"

"How do you say that? You? Am I not doing enough? I? ”

Hearing Le Ge say this, Confucius was just as anxious, and felt that Le Ge praised him in front of Lao Tzu.

He doesn't think it's good to praise him, he can't bear it. He felt that he was not doing well and not enough.

If you don't say anything about him fairly and justly, then he can't bear it either.

Anyway! He cares a lot about how he looks in the hearts of others.

Seeing this, Le Ge said with a smile: "Lao Tzu said! You still have a long way to go! Life is an experience! You haven't been through enough to understand a lot of things! ”

"Oh?" Confucius was surprised: "That's what Lao Tzu said? ”

"That's what Lao Tzu said?"

"That's really what Lao Tzu said?"

"That's exactly what I said!"

"Me?" Confucius suddenly looked very depressed, and felt that Lao Tzu had spoken to his heart.

Although he started a private school, it was quite smooth. But! He still feels that he has a lot of helplessness in his life, a lot of unsatisfactory and unsatisfactory.

In the eyes of others, maybe he is successful. But in his heart, there was no feeling of success or joy.
