Chapter 70: I Met a False Confucius
Leaving the embankment, passing through a wasteland, and climbing over a small mound, a small village appeared in front of it.
The village is secluded and tucked away in a mountain hollow. If you don't get used to the terrain, you won't be able to see it from a distance.
Visible! The first people to move here came to take refuge.
In troubled times, if you live at an intersection, it is easy to be robbed and killed.
Confucius's home, on the outskirts of the village, was a few thatched huts. There is a large courtyard with a wall made of earth and thatched grass to protect it from rainwater. There was a gate in the courtyard, and the door was hidden.
The courtyard was overgrown with weeds, and there was only one road leading to the thatched hut door. The scene was desolate.
"Auntie! Auntie! Who's coming? Confucius pushed open the door of the courtyard and shouted inside.
Lege led the horse into the courtyard and tied it to a stake on one side. And then! Look towards the door of the thatched house.
"Mound! Who's coming? ”
Inside the thatched house, a woman's panicked voice was heard.
Hearing that it was the voice of the aunt, Le Ge exclaimed happily: "Sister! Sister! Auntie! It's me! I! Songs! ”
"Lege? Songs! Woooooo When my aunt heard the sound of Lege, she cried on the spot.
There was a crackling sound in the room, and then! A woman with a big belly appeared in the doorway.
This big-bellied woman is none other than Auntie!
Auntie! That is, the later Qi Guanshi, the wife of Confucius.
Auntie's face was much darker, because she was holding her pregnant belly, she looked very fat, short, and ugly, and she no longer had the spirit of the past.
When I was in the mountain village, my aunt was very energetic, and she was full of inexhaustible energy, and she didn't want to take a break and kept working. After doing this job, go to another job, and when you finish your own work, you will help others do it.
But the aunt in front of her looked lazy.
After seeing Lege, I cried in surprise on the spot.
"Sister!" Lege ran forward, hugged her aunt uncontrollably, and cried excitedly.
"Lege! Woooooo Songs! I thought I'd never see you again! Woooooo ……”
Although Auntie hugged Lege, she no longer had that passion.
You can hear it from her crying: she is not living well. Plus the reason for pregnancy, so it's even worse.
"Sister! Sister! How can this be? How can this be? Whining! ”
Seeing the scene in front of him and the aunt's expression, Le Ge couldn't believe it: Confucius would be so poor?
This day! It's not as good as a mountain village.
The living conditions of the Qi Guan Xiong family are much better than here.
Didn't you say? Confucius used to be a Confucian? Blowing a trumpet for someone at a funeral? Didn't you say? When Confucius went to greet his relatives, he also brought a lot of money?
Seemingly! When Confucius went to greet his relatives, he deceived the old patriarch and others. He has no money at all, he is a poor ghost who can't marry a daughter-in-law!
Confucius closed the gate of the courtyard and plugged in the deadbolt. And then! Walk back.
"It's hard to put into words! It's hard to put into words! Songs! Let's come in and talk! Confucius sighed, walked past the two of them, and entered the hall first.
Auntie struggled a little and got rid of the music song.
Lege had to let go of the aunt and follow the aunt's side into the hall.
The inside of the hall is pitch black, and it is not very clear. But! After a while, I could see clearly that the house was not so dark. It's just that after staying outside for a long time, I feel that it is dark inside the house when I enter the house.
There is a shrine in front of the hall, and there is a table in front of the shrine, which should be the place where Confucius's family worships their ancestors.
The bright area on one side of the hall is the seat for receiving guests. On the other side, there is a very old loom.
One side of the hall is the kitchen, and one side could be the bedroom.
Confucius didn't come to entertain Lege, and went directly to make tea and pour water.
After the aunt brought Le Ge over, she let Le Ge sit in the guest seat.
Lege looked at home and felt disappointed.
Confucius's home was even poorer than he imagined.
He didn't even know: what was he doing here?
Be a student of Confucius?
What about Confucius's school?
Looking at it as it is now, Confucius is a vagrant.
In all probability! He's eating the old book! Eat the old book left by Confucius's father or Confucius's mother.
What saints? What is the Eternal Master's watch? It can all be a lie!
This Confucius is not the other Confucius!
This Confucius! Definitely not the sage Confucius of later generations!
This Confucius is a poor ghost!
I'm in the wrong place to cross the rebirth! It's true!
I met a fake Confucius?
Confucius brought the tea, put it on the low table, and then! Sit yourself in the master's seat. After sitting down, he beckoned to Lege.
"Sit! Sit! ”
"Auntie!" Le Ge ignored Confucius, looked at his aunt and asked, "How can this be?" How so? ”
I thought: Confucius is clearly a loser?
The rich second generation is like this: they have no ability, and they rely on eating the food of their ancestors. After losing their wealth and having no source of livelihood, they understand what life is.
Isn't that the Confucius in front of you?
"Woooooo Auntie cried: "Qiu is no longer a Confucian, we have no source of income, and we have been eating our old books!" Woooooo The family's money is running out! Woooooo ”
"What do you mean?" Lege's eyes widened, he looked at Confucius, and asked.
"Ahem, ahem!" Confucius smiled wryly and smirked: "I decided to change my image and become a scholar!" No longer be a Confucian student! This is not? All of a sudden, the source of life was cut off! ”
"You? What do you want? Lege shouted.
"I want to open a school and teach students!"
"Open school?" Lege shouted loudly: "Then you open it?" ”
"But me? I've already announced it? But no one came to learn? ”
"No students?"
"There is no source of life!" Confucius sighed: "Since I went to Qiu to welcome my relatives last year, I have decided that I will no longer be a Confucian student, and I will no longer blow the trumpet to others!" This is not? I? ”
Seeing the fierce look on Le Ge's face, Auntie hurriedly said on the side: "Everything will be fine!" Everything will be fine! Woooooo ”
"Will everything be fine? Sitting at home and not moving, will it change? Can jumping into the icy flood and taking a cold shower make a difference? Le Ge shouted.
"Woooooo
"I think he's a liar! Trick you into suffering! Lege's eyes glared at Confucius and said.
"Ahem, ahem!" Confucius looked at the music and shook his head with a wry smile.
"Lege! Woooooo The aunt cried: "If Qiu agrees to blow the trumpet again, there will be something to do every day." Keqiu decided to change, no longer blowing the trumpet, no longer being a Confucian scholar! He's going to be a soldier! Scholar! Woooooo ”
"I was originally a taxi, and I used to blow the trumpet for others only out of helplessness!"
"But you've used up your savings, what if the school can't be run? It is! You run a school! Who believes you? What do you learn? How many years did you go to school? Do you have a diploma? You? ”
"I'm going to get ready to eat! Auntie! You're with Lege! When Confucius saw the image of Lege, he quickly got up and went to the kitchen.
If you go with him, he'll probably kill someone! Confucius didn't want to talk to Lege, so! Select Avoid. Furthermore! You can't make sense with a fool, can you?
Since you can't explain the reason, it's better not to say it.
Although Le Ge is not absolutely stupid, his mind is slower than others, not half a beat. How you explain it, people may not be able to understand it for a while.
"Woooooooooooo Songs! Everything will be fine! Everything will be fine! Woooooo Auntie cried on the side.
