Chapter 806 Willing to Serve Mr. to the End of His Age
"Under the management of my father, my family's warehouse is now getting bigger and more prosperous. Right now! Our family has a fixed business route, and the purchase has been completed, and there will be no problems or dangers. In terms of sales, we have regular customers at home. Not only does it guarantee sales, but it also brings in many new customers......," Zeng said.
"That's all your father's work!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Your dad was the smartest guy in the school at the time, but he was a little naughty. Alas! Later, he took over the family's warehouse, isn't it? Just go back? With his shrewdness, taking care of a warehouse is not a simple matter? β
"Yes, yes, yes!" Zeng Shen said: "Now! I've got everything in place at home. This time, I came to accompany Mr., and I won't go! Mr! I still have a lot to ask sir! β
"Good, good! I just want to have someone to talk to! But! Where can you be with me every day? You have a warehouse at home, and you still need to take care of it? And also! Your family needs you to take care of it too? β
Zeng Shen promised: "Don't worry! Mr! I've arranged it all, and I don't usually want to ask! I'll find time to go back. If something big happens at home, they'll come and tell me! β
"Hmmm! That's right! Ok, good, good! Let them prepare the food and drinks! I want to drink! I'm happy today! Confucius said.
Since the death of Kong Carp to the present, Confucius has basically not drunk alcohol because of his constant sadness. He has never been so happy today.
"Then I'll go out and make arrangements!" Zeng Shen got up and came to the living room, and said to the people in the living room, let them go and prepare wine and food, Mr. is happy to drink today.
There were several people in the living room, middle-aged and young, but he didn't know any of them.
"Who are you?" The previous middle-aged uncle asked.
"My name is Zeng Shen! My father's name is Zeng Dian! Both father and son are students of Mr. β
"Oh? It turns out that you are Zeng Shen! Sir has been looking forward to your arrival for a long time! You? The middle-aged uncle said in surprise.
"Yes! Sir has mentioned you more than once! You? Why are you here today? β
"It turned out to be Zeng Shen! All right! Let's go and prepare the food! β
"Thank you! Thank you! Zeng Shen hurriedly bent down to give everyone a big salute, and after a few polite words, he went back to the room.
When Confucius saw that Zeng had come in, he quickly put down the bamboo slip and looked at him.
Just now! He seemed excited. In order to cover himself, he picked up the bamboo slips and looked. In fact! He didn't read a word, his mind was so ape, he didn't know where to go?
Zeng Shen in front of him should be smarter than Zeng Dian in his memory. It can be said! Have a fight with Yan Hui. And even more! Smarter than Yan Hui. It's just that! This Zeng ginseng, like his father Zeng Dian, is very lively and naughty. Once upon a time! Rarely around him.
Albeit! At that time, Zeng ordered him to personally send him over, and confessed to him in person, so that he could serve his husband. But children are sometimes disobedient, and when people are around you, they are very obedient and serve you very well. But people are naughty? Naughty people will always find a reason to leave you.
Zeng Shen is not like Yan Hui, Yan Hui is honest and obedient, let him do whatever he wants, he won't leave if you don't drive him away. And Zeng Shen is different! People are very naughty, and after being obedient for a while, they can find a reason to leave.
So! Although Zeng Shen stayed with Confucius, it was not too long.
That's it! When you're around, you're a good kid. Gone! You don't know who he is.
But! With Confucius's eyes on people, he knows that Zeng Shen is not the kind of person who is two-faced. It's not the kind of person who is well-behaved and obedient in front of him, and becomes a villain in front of others. No! Zeng Shen is not bad in nature. Isn't it? People are still a baby, huh? Naughty, lively and active.
Zengzi! 435 B.C.-505 B.C. Mingshen (shΔn), the character Ziyu, was a native of Nanwucheng in the late Spring and Autumn Period.
In 490 B.C., in the fifth year of Lu Aigong, the sixteen-year-old Zeng visited Confucius as a teacher, he was diligent and studious, and obtained the true transmission of Confucius. After Yan Hui's death, Zeng Shen became the main heir to Confucius's teachings.
The chapter of "The Analects of Liren" records: Confucius personally awarded Zeng Shen with the "University".
The arrival of Zeng Shen surprised Confucius, but it was also reasonable.
Since Yan Hui's death, Confucius once felt that there might be no second person other than Yan Hui who could truly understand him. Therefore! Make Confucius sad.
He didn't want his doctrine to be misunderstood, but if there was no one who could understand him, then! There is a greater chance of being misunderstood.
Among all his students, who else could there be besides Yan Hui?
After thinking about it, he thought of Zeng Shen, but Zeng Shen was not by his side.
Outcome! Isn't it? Zeng Shen appeared suddenly. So! It made Confucius's mood feel better all of a sudden.
"Sir! Everything is arranged! β
"Sit! Sit! Sit down! β
"Sir! They're all students of Mr., right? But I don't know any of them! Zeng Shen asked.
Confucius smiled: "I have many students! Legend has it that I have three thousand protΓ©gΓ©s! In fact! It's more than that! There are 3,000 students who really follow me, and what more than 3,000 people who are studying in my private school? β
"Yes!"
"That's it! Don't talk about that! Since you are here and say that you are willing to accompany me, then I will stop talking nonsense! I would like to explain to you all my doctrines and thoughts! I'm going to talk about it coherently, and I'm going to talk about it as a whole. What I said before, intermittently, it was all fragmentary, not as a whole. Right now! We put all my thoughts together! You know what I mean? β
Confucius looked at Zeng Shen and said very seriously.
"Understood!" Zeng Shen said: "Sir is going to say the central idea of Mr.'s thoughts!" What Mr. usually says, it is just a fragment, and the fragments can only form a whole when they are connected. Only when we understand it as a whole can we know what Mr. really means! β
"Hmm!" Confucius answered, listening to Zeng Shen's understanding.
"I usually hear from my classmates that my husband's thinking is contradictory. Not really! That's when they take things out of context and don't understand them as a whole. What if you understood the fragment that Mr. usually said separately? So! What Confucius said before and after is contradictory! Just slap yourself in the face! This is not? This is not right! So! If we want to understand what Mr. said correctly, we need to connect all the fragments that Mr. said and find the main idea! Only by finding the starting point for saying this sentence can we truly and correctly understand what Mr. means......"
"Right! Correct solution! Those who know me! Zeng Zi also! Confucius clapped his hands and applauded.
"Zengzi? I'm Zengzi? Zeng Shen was surprised!
"How can you understand what I'm saying! He was called a 'son'! Zengzi! Hahaha! Confucius laughed!
It's true! Since Yan Hui's death, he has not met a person who is so righteous!
