Yan Lu said, stepping forward quickly, about to get the sword that was put aside.

After Confucius finished practicing the sword, he inserted the sword into the scabbard and put it aside.

"Learn the sword?" Confucius was shocked when he saw Yan Lu coming over to get his sword. Quickly picked up the sword, held it in his hand, and looked at Yan Lu with a panicked expression.

It's not that I'm worried that Yan Lu will snatch the sword and kill him in turn, but! I don't want Yan Lu to touch it.

To know! Confucius was very taboo about swords!

His father's uncle, Liang Wei, had a sword before his death, which was also given by the king of Lu. This sword is the lifeblood of Shu Liangjie and a symbol of honor. Before! The sword was in his house. But later! In order to inherit his father's title, the elder brother Meng Pi asked for this sword.

Confucius's mother, Yan Zheng, felt sympathy for Meng Pi when she saw that he was disabled, so she gave him the sword. Outcome! After Meng Pi asked for the sword back, he did not inherit the title. Opposite! was also asked to go back by the aunt of the main house.

Originally! Meng Pi asked for a sword, but he was used by Aunt Zhengfang.

After the main house asked Shu Liang Yun's sword back, he refused to recognize the identity of Yan Zhengzai and Confucius. You don't have a token, you say you are Shu Liangji's concubine and son? Who believes?

Without tokens, Confucius will not be able to inherit the title when he grows up. Though! Confucius was a healthy man. And Mengpi! It's a disabled person. Persons with disabilities are not allowed to inherit the title.

The daughters born on the other side of the main room are all daughters, and daughters can't inherit the title. But on the side of the main room, he has always been reluctant to renew his wife's room. So! After the death of Shu Liangji, Confucius and his mother were driven out of the house and exiled to Qufu City.

The current sword of Confucius is also a sword given by the king of Lu. It's just that! Not his one. This sword! It belongs to the Qiguan family and is the father of Qiguan Xiong.

The father-in-law's father is a world friend of his father's uncle Liang Jie. He once made military exploits in the country of Lu, and was rewarded by the Duke of Lu and gave this sword. Afterward! Qi Guanxiong gave birth to a daughter, so he decided to have a family affair with his children. So! The sword was passed into the hands of Qi Guanxiong.

And Qi Guanxiong gave birth to a daughter and aunt, but had no son. So! When the aunt got married, the sword became a dowry and passed to Confucius.

So! Yan Lu came over to get a sword, and Confucius naturally would not give it.

"Show me the sword!" Yan Lu is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and he doesn't know what Confucius thinks in his heart. I thought that my relationship with Confucius was not bad, so I insisted on it.

Although Confucius was a gentleman, although he was an adult, he was only a few years older than him. So! Yan Lu didn't know what was at stake.

"No, you can't!" Confucius dodged and hid aside.

With Confucius's skills, compared with Yan Lu, who has only developed recently, it is naturally very good.

"Sir?" Yan Lu saw that Confucius's face had changed, and he was frightened.

Although he was only a few years younger than Confucius, Confucius had already reached adulthood, married and had children. And also! He was half a cut short in front of Confucius. Though! He is not short, he is also more than 1.6 meters. But Confucius was a big man, almost 1.9 meters tall.

A height of more than 1.6 meters is in front of a big man of 1.8 to 1.9 meters, as you can imagine, it is a lot shorter.

Furthermore! It's a gentleman!

So! Yan Lu was frightened on the spot.

"You have to learn to be a man first, and then learn the sword!" Confucius is the right way.

"Whew!" Yan Lu was very hurt and had a feeling of wanting to cry.

"Sword! It's not something that ordinary people can wear casually! Seeing that Yan Lu was frightened, Confucius quickly eased his expression and said, "Sword! Only gentlemen can wear it! It's not just anyone! This sword! It is an ancestral heirloom of my father-in-law's family, and it has been passed down to me. This sword! It was given to the ancestor of the Qiguan clan by the first father! Do you understand? ”

"Oh?" Yan Lu was still very hurt. But! He pretended to be calm on the surface.

"Teach you how to learn swords! You start with a twig or something, and use it as a sword. Later, when you can wear the sword, customize a sword of your own. You can too! Buy one at the bazaar. Sword! It's not something that can be easily revealed! You know what? ”

"Yes! Mr! Yan Lu had no choice but to admit it and listened carefully to the teachings of "Mr."

"It's okay to learn a sword! You must first learn to be a human being! What is a human being? Confucius said.

"What is a human?" Yan Lu asked.

"What is a gentleman?"

"What is a gentleman?" Yan Lu asked again.

"I can't tell you for a while! You're too young and you've experienced too little! So! You don't understand it! Confucius sighed.

"This?" Yan Lu doesn't know what to say?

Confucius himself couldn't say clearly, so! He didn't go any further.

had to say perfunctorily: "I will teach you the sword!" It's just that! My swordsmanship is for self-defense, not for war! We learn swords just to cope with the future. What if! We have the opportunity to wear a sword, we can't say that we can't dance a sword, right? Isn't it? ”

"Yes!" Yan Lu agreed.

When the two returned to the house, they went to the kitchen to cook.

Yan Lu recovered his mood, and as if he had changed someone, he made breakfast.

Confucius was not idle, sitting under the stove and adding firewood.

After breakfast, Confucius went to work in the Lu Palace.

During this time, he didn't go to work often, he didn't say hello to the people inside, and I don't know if the kitchen reserved breakfast for him. So! Must be eaten at home.

In the morning, the teenager Yan Lu did not sit in the back row as a primary school student, but stood directly under the eaves to help the beautiful teacher teach.

Fang Zhong and Fang Shu's mothers were very happy to see that Yan Lu was really able to teach. With this helper, they are much more relaxed, and when they have time, they shrink into the house to play with the carp.

Midday! Yan Lu took the initiative to cook again.

Afternoon! He continued to work as a teacher.

Seeing that Yan Lu was very capable, much stronger than Le Ge, Qi Guan's heart was happier than anyone else.

It's true! The whole one babysitter! He took care of everything outside the house. Include! Wash the diaper of the hole carp. Even! He is willing to wash his wife's underwear, and he is not taboo at all.

In the middle of the afternoon, Confucius left work.

The current Confucius has risen from the former "retainer" to a "national minister".

In the past, he was an errand boy for Lu Gong (Lu Zhaogong)'s family and managed related affairs. Right now! He was promoted by Lu Gong to be the official of Lu State, and managed the affairs of Lu State's grain depot, field and mu statistics.

He has just taken office and has not yet taken over in full. So! It's more relaxed.

In fact! It's not that you haven't taken over yet, but! Others are reluctant to let go.

The power of the Lu State is controlled by the three major families, and the Duke of Lu (Lu Zhaogong) is just a puppet king. So! The people he arranged to come in couldn't hold real power at all. You want to serve the people, but others don't give you that opportunity.

After dinner, Confucius gave Yan Lu a lesson and continued to teach arithmetic.

When he went to bed at night, Qi Guanshi reported the matter of Yan Lu to Confucius.

When Confucius heard that Yan Luren was so good, he liked it even more. The boundary between teachers and students has naturally faded a lot.
