Lu Ji'an looked at the students in front of him with a smile. When his eyes fell on Xie Jian, he felt a little worried. Don't think he doesn't know. Xie Jian has hidden many things from him. Take the current matter for example. It is definitely not something that can be accomplished by just one person.
However, he did a good job in this matter, and others did not doubt him because of it. I even heard some people praising him.
"Why aren't you eating the vegetables? Eat quickly, they're getting cold." Xia served the fish.
"Madam Xia, the food is almost ready. You should come and have dinner." Madam Feng shouted with a smile.
"There is one last bowl of soup." Xia ordered Zhenzhu to bring the potato starch.
"Mammy, let's have a drink too." Shen Heng raised her glass.
"Okay. Wu Jin's Xuezui is really good. I like it too."
"Yes. This wine is sweet but not intoxicating." The most important thing is that the alcohol content is not high and the aftereffect is not strong. It is very suitable for outings and autumn outings. Chen Heng likes it.
After dinner, Gu Feng and Yu Wei left early, while Lu Ji'an, Wu Jin, Meng Xuanlang and Xie Jian went to the study.
When Chen Heng brought tea into the room, Meng Xuanlang was discussing the feelings of the Censorate: "Right and wrong, even if it's bizarre and twisted, truth is truth, falsehood is falsehood. Scholars and officials should be concerned about the country and the people, and should have a sincere heart, not empty words."
Wu Jin nodded: "That makes sense."
Xie Jian glanced at Meng Xuanlang and said, "Be reserved but not competitive, be in a group but not a party. You want to be yourself, want to be independent, but how can you possibly do that when you are in the midst of chaos?"
Wu Jin nodded: "That makes sense."
Meng Xuanlang was choked. "A thousand-foot-high wall stands firm; without desire, one is strong."
Wu Jin thought for a moment and said, "Yes."
Xie Jian said calmly: "People who have lost their fathers will just go with the flow."
Wu Jin thought about it and was about to nod when he saw Meng Xuanlang glaring at him fiercely. He scratched his head and muttered, "Ajian is right."
"You're going to argue again, you're going to argue again?" Meng Xuanlang looked at Xie Jian angrily.
Who's arguing? Xie Jian sneered. Every time he couldn't win an argument, he would just use another trick. How childish! He was too lazy to argue with him and kept silent.
"Master, look at him. I told you that he has a weak character. If he continues like this, he might become a treacherous minister in the future." Meng Xuanlang was filled with worry about his friend's future.
Chen Heng, who was serving tea, looked at Meng Xuanlang in surprise. Young Master Meng's unintentional words had revealed the secret. When she looked away, she found that everyone was looking at her. Only then did she realize that the cup was full of water, and hurriedly asked Ah Chan to come over and wipe it dry.
Lu Ji'an smiled faintly: "The people of the Confucian school have extremely high expectations for scholars and officials. Do you know why?"
"Why?" Wu Jin asked.
Xie Jian and Meng Xuanlang knew this question well and could give a long speech on it, but for a moment they didn't know how to express it.
"What they maintain is order in the human world. If common people break the law, they can be forgiven. But if scholars do evil, there will be no one to educate the world. If officials commit evil and break the law, there will be no one to stop them. From then on, the world will be in chaos, and where will we be able to settle down?" Lu Ji'an looked at them with a smile.
Chen Heng listened and nodded. Every identity has its own responsibilities, but the meaning of the word "responsibility" is always unclear. Many people even feel quite disgusted. No one likes this kind of pressure.
Lord Lu's words instantly cleared people's minds.
Everything we do now is to build a beautiful world where everyone can live and work in peace and contentment.
Lu Ji'an saw again the pair of eyes that always looked at him with a smile and sparkled, feeling a little embarrassed. As a woman, she still needed to be more reserved, even more reserved.
