Chapter 1008 Interpretation of Zizhang

"Get up! Get up! Go back to the house and sit! Drink! Lege greeted.

Zeng Shen followed Le Ge to the living room, and Xiaoyanzi reluctantly stepped forward to pour tea for Zeng Shen. Weizi is very old and no longer serves Rakuge. Now she has already enjoyed Qingfu. Today, the little swallow happened to come back, so he went to the ancestor's side.

Today's little swallow is married to a small aristocratic son in Lu who is beginning to decline. Because it is a declining aristocracy, this aristocratic son is still very competitive. Today's little swallow has a son and a daughter, and the daughters are as old as she was back then.

"Uncle Le's longevity!" Zeng Shen asked.

"Hahaha!" Le Ge smiled: "One hundred and ten years old, right?" I don't remember exactly. ”

"Ahh Zeng Shen exclaimed.

I thought: Do you need to ask? I'm old myself, let alone Uncle Le!

"Zengzi didn't come here today to come to see me, right?" Lege asked very directly.

Zeng Shen's old face blushed and said, "Yes! Uncle Le! It's not that I didn't come to visit Uncle Le, but! Zeng Shen felt ashamed and had no face to come to see Uncle Le! ”

"Oh?" Lege pretended to be surprised and asked, "What are you sorry for me?" ”

Zeng Shen was incompetent, which made the family's warehouse lose money, and almost burdened the entire family with huge debts. This is not? Zeng Shen felt that he had no face to come to see Uncle Le again! And also! Zeng Shen could no longer serve as the housekeeper of the family, so he resigned from his position. And then! I'm teaching in a foreign country! ”

"Oh?"

"Since I owe too much money, so! I? Alas! Uncle Le! Aunt! And the little swallows! I'm sorry! I? Zisi married the princess of a noble family for me. Isn't it? to alleviate our family's debt crisis? Isn't it? There's nothing we can do! If it weren't for debt, where would I have done it? Isn't it? ”

"Oh? So that's what happened? Only then did Le Ge know: It turned out that Zisi didn't come to marry Xiaoyanzi because he helped Zeng Shen pay off his debts.

"What about Zisi? How is he now? Lege asked.

When Xiaoyanzi learned what happened, she covered her face and ran to the side. In such a scene, it was inconvenient for her to stand on the sidelines and listen.

"Good! Very good! Alas! Zeng Shen said.

Looking at Zeng Shen's sigh, Le Ge guessed: There must be something! It's just that Zeng Shen is embarrassed and inconvenient to say.

After a while, Le Ge asked, "Then what else are you doing this time?" ”

Zeng looked at it for a moment, and had to say, "I'm here to ask Uncle Le to review the manuscript for me!" ”

"Oh?" Le Ge responded: "I have already read the new version of the Analects!" No need for a second trial! Now you! Already an academic everybody! You? No need to ask me again! ”

"Uncle Le!" Zeng Shen said anxiously: "Not only the end of the Analects, but also! I would like to write a monograph of my own doctrine and thought! I? ”

"You?" Le Ge looked at Zeng Shen in surprise and asked, "That?" Did you write it? ”

"Me?" Zeng Shen said embarrassedly: "I wrote a first draft, so I would like to ask Uncle Le to take a look at it and give some comments!" ”

"This? I? Le Ge shook his head and said, "I'm very old!" I? I'm afraid of me? ”

"I believe in Uncle Le! I'll pay attention! It won't make Uncle Loeb too tired! Uncle Le! I've saved you, I've seen it, I've checked it. I'll read, Uncle Le, just listen to it! ”

"In that case! That's barely enough! Lege had no choice but to agree.

Now he's! Although he was in good health, he didn't think about it so much anymore. Now he's! It is to truly enjoy pure happiness.

Lege, who has been continuing to practice the Taoist mental method, has reached the highest level of cultivation. So! I don't seem to know how old I am.

The two talked for a while, and then began to get down to business and review the manuscript.

Although a new version of the Analects has been published, Zeng Shen still asked Uncle Le to help him check and review the last two newly added contents.

"If there is a problem, change it immediately and stop burning." Zengsando.

"That's good! Read it to me! Lege stretched out his hand and gestured.

"Yes! Uncle Le! Zeng Shen said.

Zi Zhang said: "When a soldier sees danger and death, he sees the righteousness, sacrifices and respects, and mourns, which can be done." ”

"What do you mean?" Lege asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "Zizhang said: When a soldier encounters danger, he is willing to sacrifice his life to ensure the safety of others, and when he sees that there is a profit, he can consider whether this is in line with the requirements of righteousness, when he sacrifices, he can think about whether he is serious and respectful, and when he is mourning, he can think about whether he is sad, and this is enough." ”

"What do you mean? These are your husband's words, huh? Lege asked puzzled.

"Yes!" Zeng Shen responded: "These are the words of the gentleman! But! Now it became the words of Zizhang! It was we, the students, who got it from the sir! That is: legacy! ”

"Oh?" Lege nodded and replied.

Zi Zhang said: "If you don't hold on to morality, you can't believe in it, how can you have it?" How can you die? ”

"What do you mean? Interpret it? Lege asked.

Zeng Shen explained: "Zizhang said: Practicing virtue but not being able to carry it forward, believing in the Tao but not being able to be faithful and firm, how can such a person say that he has practiced virtue and believed in the Tao, and how can he say that he has not? ”

"What do you mean? Is Zizhang making a summary report on the Analects? Lege asked.

Zeng Shen said: "My husband said: It is not enough to do this. ”

"Oh?" Le Ge nodded, "Go on!" Read on! ”

Zixia's gate asked to hand it over to Zizhang. Zi Zhang said: "Zi Xia Yunhe? "Zi Xia said: 'Those who can do it will be with it, and those who can't reject it.'" Zi Zhang said: "It's different from what I have heard: the gentleman respects the virtuous and tolerates the public, and the good is not able." What is not tolerated by others? If I am not virtuous, people will reject me, so how can I reject others? ”

"Wait! Wait a minute! Interpret it! Lege interrupted.

Zeng Shen explained: "Zixia's students asked Zizhang how to make friends. Zizhang said: What did Zixia say? The other party replied: Mr. Zixia said: 'If you can make friends with him, you will make friends with him, and if you can't make friends, reject him.' Zizhang said, "What I have heard is different from what you say: a gentleman respects the virtuous and accommodates all; Able to praise good people, but also able to sympathize with those who are not capable enough. If I am a very virtuous person, what can I not tolerate with others? If I am not virtuous, then people will reject me, and how can I say that I have rejected others? ”

Zeng Shen further explained: "Zixia believes that to make friends, we must associate with people who can be friends, we must have a position as a person, and we must have a clear distinction between love and hate! Zixia is from the depth of communication! And what Zizhang thinks is just a light relationship! We can associate with anyone, without any preconceptions! When we deal with strangers, we don't know the essence of the other person at all! Only through socialization can you get to know others! Zizhang just reminded Zixia's students that they must learn to be tolerant. ”

"Oh? Reasonable! Lege nodded in response.

Zeng Shen continued: "Zixia's words may be misleading, making people not associate with others, and refusing to interact is tantamount to rejecting others, which is not conducive to harmony!" And Zizhang's tolerance and tolerance may mislead others to tolerate others' mistakes and condone others, thus making a person lose his position! We can analyze the problem from these two aspects, summarize our own dating methods, and use them flexibly! Don't stick to one thing. ”

"Good!" Lege applauded.
