"Good poetry, really good poetry! …… Great, as soon as my brother saw the white fool's face at that time, he couldn't say how happy he was! Hahahaha...... "I have been dragged to the back mountain by Xia Hongsheng all the time, Xu Qixian is still laughing, Xia Hongsheng rolled his eyes and whitened him a few times, and when he saw that it had no effect, he stopped paying attention to him. In addition to the courtyard of the mountain chief on the mountain behind the academy, the place is big, and the mountain forest can see the scenery of the entire Luanzhou City downward, which is a good place to go. Found a tree far away from the courtyard of the mountain, the two sat on the stone, and took in the scenery of Luanzhou City, opposite the towering mountain of Laojun Mountain, which was beautiful in magnificence, and it was a good mountain.

"Brother Xu, can your little guy find us? Little brother is anxious to wait for your little boy to come back. Xia Hongsheng sat on the bluestone, leaned back against the trunk of the tree and half-lay down, looked at the scenery of Luanzhou City under the mountain with his hands on his pillow, and said to Xu Qixian, who was still excited.

"Don't worry, I have already explained to him earlier, let him buy things and come back with that chicken to find us in the back mountain, this place is often visited by brothers, he can find it." Xu Qixian said, while speaking, he also leaned back against the trunk of the tree in the same way as Xia Hongsheng, as if he was looking at someone he didn't know, looking Xia Hongsheng up and down, and after looking at it for a long time, he sighed and said: "Senior Brother Jingshi, how do you feel that you seem to have become older than Brother Wei all of a sudden, whether you are talking or doing things, or schoolwork, or behavior, it seems that you have changed people, so that you don't seem to know you a little anymore." ”

"One day in the world, a thousand years in the dream. Brother Xu, when the younger brother passed out in a coma, he had a long, long dream, in which he experienced half a life, and when he woke up, he thought that he was already a person of dozens of years. Maybe it's because half of his life has passed in the dream, and the younger brother's mind has indeed grown a lot. Xia Hongsheng replied with a smile: "However, Xia Hongsheng is Xia Hongsheng, Xu Qixian is the senior brother Xu Qixian, Brother Xu only needs to remember this." Don't talk about this, Brother Xu, do you remember that the younger brother mentioned a dish called Huaji a few days ago? ”

"Called a chicken? Yes, you mentioned that the braised chicken pie made by my chef is useless. Xu Qixian was a little annoyed when he thought about it, and glanced at Xia Hongsheng, you know, his family's cook, but he asked his uncle to find it from Chang'an City, if you say that who has the most delicious food in this small Luanzhou City, except for the Yixiangju in the city, it is his Xu Qixian's house!

Xia Hongsheng sat up, picked up a branch from the side, and dug it on the ground, and said to Xu Qixian while shaving: "Hehe, let my brother taste the delicacy of this called Hua Chicken today, and also see the craftsmanship of the younger brother." ”

"You? Hey, it's not for my brother, you little doll, even if I believe your nonsense, when you have lived most of your life in your dreams, you will never believe that you can make anything to eat. Even if you know how to do it, you must have stolen it from your sister-in-law. Xu Qixian said to Xia Hongsheng: "However, Senior Brother Jingshi, the sages taught us that the gentleman is far away from cooking, how can you do it yourself?" Let Liu Qing do it later, he is the second son of the chef, although he didn't learn his father's way, but the things he made can also be eaten! If you want chicken, let him do it. ”

Hearing Xu Qixian's words, Xia Hongsheng shook his head with a smile, stretched out his finger and shook it in front of Xu Qixian's eyes, and said, "Fei Ye, Fei Ye!" Brother Xu's words are wrong! ”

Xu Qixian's eyes widened, and he looked at Xia Hongsheng with a patient-like look: "Senior Brother Jingshi, don't make trouble, the sage Mencius once said: There is no injury, it is a benevolent technique, and you don't see a sheep when you see a cow." A gentleman is also a beast, seeing its life, not bearing to see its death, hearing its voice, and not bearing to eat its flesh. It is a gentleman who cooks far away. Therefore, a gentleman should stay away from the place where he kills and cooks, and he should not make these actions with his own hands. Senior Brother Jingshi, you haven't learned these yet, I'll sue you for my brother today, and you can't do this in the future. ”

"Hey...... Brother Xu's solution is different, Mencius's meaning is really not what Brother Xu said. Xia Hongsheng squinted at Xu Qixian and raised his chin, shook his head and said.

"Oh?" Xu Qixian, who thought he was very knowledgeable, immediately became interested: "I don't know what the solution of Senior Brother Jingshi is?" While Liu Qing has not come back yet, can you discuss a thing or two with Brother Wei? For my brother, I have to wash my ears and listen to the high arguments of Senior Brother Jingshi. ”

Oops, that's a bit unimpressed! Hehe, Xia Hongsheng stood up suddenly, stood with his hands in his hands, and said loudly: "Mencius said: There is no injury, it is a benevolence, and the cow is not seen the sheep." A gentleman is also a beast, seeing its life, not bearing to see its death, hearing its voice, and not bearing to eat its flesh. It is a gentleman who cooks far away. Most people take Mencius's words literally, that a gentleman should stay away from the place where he kills and cooks. But in this way, if a gentleman wants to eat meat, he must kill, but he can't bear to kill; If you really can't bear to kill, it's just a "far cook", you can't see it, you can't hear it, you can eat those things in the "cook" with peace of mind, so isn't it a hypocrisy, a betrayal of the sages? In fact, Mencius's words are not so superficial, and there is a deeper moral concept in them. ”

Xia Hongsheng is very pedantic, there is no way, the habit he developed when he was a teacher in later generations lecturing became like this as soon as he put it on.

"The person who is busy in the kitchen should not be a gentleman, because most of the cooks have to kill chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, and they are covered in blood and oily firewood, which is not what a humble gentleman should be. A gentleman should be well-dressed, with a straight face, holding the book of sages in his hand and speaking the way of benevolence and righteousness in his mouth. But if you look at the cooks, they are all coarse and greasy, with fierce eyes, knives in their hands, and muttering about this fat and that thin one in their mouths. So, the difference between a gentleman and a cook, between a white snow and a lower riba person, between civilized and vulgar, immediately appeared. People yearn for gentlemen, so they disdain the vulgar, so even those who are filthy-minded, thick-faced, and full of bad bellies like the white fool will find a gorgeous coat and a treacherous excuse to disguise themselves. Such a person is also quiet with his hands and white face, and his clothes are clean, but can he be called a gentleman? And Brother Xu, look at your cook, has he done anything vicious and insidious? ”

Xu Qixian shook his head, already a little stunned by what Xia Hongsheng said: "No, Uncle Liu has always worked hard for my family, and he has never had two hearts." ”

"That's right. If the people who cook far away are all gentlemen, and the people who cook near them are villains, how do you explain Brother Xu? Therefore, this explanation is too one-sided. Xia Hongsheng took two steps forward, walked to Xu Qixian, saw that Xu Qixian was a little confused, and decided to give him a head drink, so he slowly took a deep breath, and suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Actually, the true meaning of Mencius's words is: meat must be eaten, and there must be a heart of unbearableness." Therefore, the intolerance of the kitchen is not the intolerance of cattle, sheep and livestock, but the intolerance of his own heart. With this unbearable heart, we will be unbearable to others, we will be benevolent, we will have a benevolent heart, the world will be benevolent, and we will be able to achieve 'the old and the old, the young and the young'! These words are the true truth that Mencius expressed to King Hui of Liang! ”

Hey? Why is there no sound? Xia Hongsheng looked down and saw Xu Qixian's face was sluggish, his eyes were staring at him deadly, his mouth was wide open, and he had a posture that his chin fell and he couldn't close it. Hehe, it seems that it is still useful to drink it as a head. Xia Hongsheng misses this feeling of being a slap in the face of others. Very polite and gentle, he nodded to Xu Qixian, showed two rows of very white teeth towards Xu Qixian, and said with a smile: "What, Brother Xu, can the younger brother solve this problem?" ”

Xu Qixian was still stunned as if he had lost his soul, he was so surprised that he couldn't make a sound at all. Xia Hongsheng was about to go back and sit down, but suddenly heard a high-five sound from behind Xu Qixian, and the frightened Xia Hongsheng looked up suddenly, and saw that it was the mountain chief and several other gentlemen who walked out of the forest behind!

To be destroyed! You are all people with faces and faces, how can you hide and eavesdrop on the conversations of your own students! Xia Hongsheng let out a sad cry in his heart, and looked at the division commanders with some apprehension.

Those gentlemen all looked thoughtful, half-bowing their heads and thinking intently, Xia Hongsheng's master was also there, but at the moment, his face was full of surprise and joy, looking at his two students proudly. And the old mountain chief, with a faint smile on his face, stroked his beard and shook it gently, his eyes were full of essence, and he said with his beard behind his back: "When you see its life, you can't bear to see its death, you can't bear to hear its voice, you can't bear to eat its flesh...... Unbearable is benevolence, not the dirt of the cook, but the heart of benevolence...... Hehehe, today, the old man is very relieved! …… Hehehe, Jingshi, good! Good! Good! What a Xia Jingshi! ”

As soon as the old mountain chief commented on it, the eyes of everyone present were focused on Xia Hongsheng's body, Xia Hongsheng didn't expect that this explanation from the textbooks of later generations would be heard by the old mountain chief and the teachers and gentlemen of the academy, and his heart was a little excited at this time, yes, in the ancient culture, there were many mistakes, there were many misinformation, and as a result, good thoughts became dross, perhaps, I can avoid this result?

"I can't bear it, it's Ren'er, it's not the dirt of the cook, but the heart of benevolence and righteousness......" Xu Qixian, who was stunned and lost his soul, sat on the trunk of the tree in a daze, and didn't even know that the teachers had arrived, and kept repeating it more than ten times in his mouth, before he suddenly stood up suddenly, bowed deeply to Xia Hongsheng and bent down, and said a little crazy: "Today, today I have been taught for my brother, Senior Brother Jingshi, I am afraid that if this solution comes out, the world's Confucian scholars ...... Hahaha, junior brother, no wonder the mountain chief will accept you as a protégé, the junior and younger brother are the best, for the brother, let alone accept you as a protégé, even if you are asked to teach in the academy, you are definitely qualified! ”

Xia Hongsheng's face suddenly turned pale, and he opened his mouth to stare at the teachers behind Xu Qixian, and when Xu Qixian finally found out that Xia Hongsheng's face was wrong, he stiffened his smile and slowly turned his head, and a terrible scream sounded on the mountain behind the academy.
