Chapter 74: Where is Confucius's private learning?
After talking to my aunt for a while, I asked everything I should ask, and my aunt felt sleepy, so she went to rest. Confucius stood aside and did not come over to participate in the speech.
Seeing that the aunt was up, Confucius came over and helped the aunt to help. Auntie took the money that Lege gave her and went to the room. Confucius helped the aunt to the door of the room and did not go in.
Le Ge beckoned to Confucius and asked him to come and sit down and talk.
Confucius then walked to the edge of his seat and sat down, looking at Lege.
"You're going to open a school, where is your school?" Lege asked.
"This?" Confucius paused for a moment and said, "Just open at home?" Inside the hall! ”
"Inside the hall?"
Confucius nodded, then looked into the hall.
"In the beginning, there were definitely not many people. Do you see my home? It's so spacious, pack it up, one or twenty students, it shouldn't be a problem. ”
"I think! You should have the school in the courtyard! Lege suggested.
"In the yard?"
"You should clear out the yard and put a canopy above it. Usually, let the students be in the yard. When it is windy and rainy, let the students go home. ”
"This?"
"What if the students are at home? Where's your living room? What about seats? And the shrine where your family worships? ”
"This?"
"The students are all little dolls! They don't know that much! In all probability! Will do things that are disrespectful to the ancestral gods! ”
"This?" After listening to Lege's words, Confucius felt that what Lege said did not look like a fool at all.
It's true! He didn't think about it so thoroughly, but Lege did.
"Let's clear the yard first!" Le Ge didn't care whether Confucius agreed or not, he stood up and went to clean up the yard.
"You don't look at it either? That's it for your yard! Overgrown with weeds, where does it look like a school? Isn't it? Get rid of the weeds first! Level the floor of the yard a little more. Clean the courtyard, others saw it, and it looked like a school. Isn't it? ”
"Yes, yes, yes!" Confucius replied in unison.
"When others saw that the yard was very clean and everything was like a school, they were willing and relieved to send the baby over! Isn't it? ”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Coming out of the hall, Lege stood under the eaves and looked into the barren courtyard. After seeing the situation in the courtyard, he shook his head.
Just do it! Lege walked over, took the machete off his horse, and began to clear the weeds in the yard.
Seeing this, Confucius had no choice but to follow.
He thought about this question, but no one wanted to come to learn, so he didn't bother to do it. Furthermore! He was reluctant to do this kind of work.
It took the two of them an afternoon to clear the courtyard.
The next day, under the leadership of Lege, the ground began to be leveled.
After two days of leveling, the original barren scene was gone, and the courtyard became tidy. When the villagers passing by saw this, they all probed in to check and inquire.
"Don't go to the river to practice qi-holding in the future, you open the courtyard door, and if it's okay, level the ground and make the ground stronger. The ground must be made like a villager's drying ground, and it will be smooth.
If someone asks, you take the initiative and say that you are going to open a private school and recruit students.
If you don't take the initiative to find others, others will take the initiative to find you? Isn't it?
This is not Song Guoqiu! When I was in the Song Kingdom, it was the patriarch and others who helped! They take the initiative to find someone else first. Then you will teach, and others will be willing to let the baby study! Isn't it?
If you get bored, go to the villagers and ask about building a roof.
Don't be in a hurry to build a ceiling, ask the price first! I guess! Building a roof can cost a lot of money! If you don't ask clearly, it's easy to be hacked by craftsmen! You know what? ……”
In the past few days, Lege has lived in Confucius's house and slept in a firewood room.
Seeing that Lege had changed her normal, my aunt couldn't believe it, but she didn't dare not believe it. Seeing that Confucius and Le Ge were cleaning up the yard, she went to cook with her stomach up.
Some time ago, because Confucius had nothing to do, she asked Confucius to learn to cook. But! Confucius is not the material for cooking, his mind is not on cooking, and the food he cooks can barely be eaten.
Alas! Marrying such a husband, my aunt was speechless. Confucius really didn't know how to cook, so he had to cook it himself in the future.
Everything is ready, or there is no source of life. Lege couldn't sit still and prepared to go out hunting. He was born as an Orion, and hunting was his profession.
Staying in Confucius's house all day, three adults, you look at me and I look at you, everything that should be said is finished, and it is not interesting to stay together.
"You hunt? How do you hunt? You don't have an Orion Badge? You are from the Song Kingdom! How can you hunt in the country of Lu? Confucius stopped.
"Lege! Otherwise? Starting tomorrow! You study with Qiu, and Qiu teaches you a student! Let's set up the stalls first! How is it? ”
"Am I a student of the mound? I? ”
"Let Qiu teach you to read and write! And arithmetic! ……”
"This?"
Lege thinks: It's really like that! Ancient characters are different from modern Chinese characters, and you really have to learn them from scratch.
But? Let him learn from Confucius alone, he feels too embarrassed! If others see it, they won't laugh at you?
"Nope! I'm still going hunting! I don't have an Orion Certificate, but I can help the Orion Hunters in Lu State hunt? Isn't it? Lege insisted.
At the insistence of Lege, Confucius and Aunt did not insist anymore.
Case! When you go hunting, you hunt, and there is one less person in the family to eat. Other than that! You can also earn some money by hunting.
After getting the consent of Confucius and Auntie, the next day! Lege rode out on horseback.
He first went to Qufu City and went to the vegetable market to look for hunters. And then! Discuss cooperation with Orion.
I contacted several of them, but they all fell apart.
Some people saw that he was big and did not dare to take him. Some people want to take advantage and refuse to pay much money. There are also people who dare not bring it, for fear that the government will increase his Orion fee.
For several days on end, nothing was found.
Lege couldn't wait any longer, so he decided to go to the mountains by himself, "hunting" first, and earn some money.
Everywhere, there is a "safari".
Safari! That is, the Orion who passes by.
They don't have to pay taxes, but! Prey cannot be sold in public. They traded their prey below the market price with the inhabitants of the spot in exchange for money and food.
On this day, an out-of-town hunter took the initiative to find him and discuss cooperation with him.
"I'm a safari too! Or otherwise? Shall we have a partner? Take care of each other. Although the country of Lu is very safe and not so chaotic. But there are just as many surprises, isn't it? ”
"You're a safari too, huh? All right! Let's work together! Lege readily agreed. I was going to work with people. Outcome! Isn't it? Nobody wants to. If you do, we can't talk about it! I'm getting ready to go on a safari! ”
The two hit it off and made a deal on the spot.
Le Ge felt that the people of Lu seemed to be much friendlier than the people of other vassal states.
