Chapter 111: Teaching and Educating People

"They are all seriously ill." A layer of gloom hung over Lu Mingchao's face, like the sky before a rainstorm, solemn and deep.

A smile flashed across Shu Yuan's beautiful eyes.

Lu Mingchao's tone was still clear and clear, "Is there anyone in Shangjing who knows Ah Yan?"

Shu Yuan shook his head. “Very little.”

"When the late emperor died suddenly, I burned Xie Yan's portrait. Those in the capital who were close to the Xie family vaguely knew that there was a Xie Silang in the Xie family, but they didn't know what he looked like."

Lu Mingchao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'll give you an extra dish tonight."

"It's not poisonous, is it?" Shu Yuan took a step back exaggeratedly. "What is that in your hand?"

Lu Mingchao raised his eyebrows. "Sumei Tu..."

"I heard from Ah Yan that the Sumei you painted is very hard to come by."

Shu Yuan raised his chin and said, "That's right."

"More than Sumei."

"Was it drawn by that stinky kid Lu Santu?"

"Of course." Lu Mingchao was honored.

He shuddered, pulled his coat closer, and continued, shivering, "It's so cold and windy, and I was so confused that I stood in the yard and talked to you about all this."

Shu Yuan chased after Lu Mingchao and asked, "Is it that damn Lu Santu who is not serious about his words?"

"I knew Lu Santu couldn't hold back his words."

Once you enter the house, the cold wind is kept out.

Lu Mingchao spread out the Sumei painting in his hand on the table, blew gently to warm his hands, and glanced at Shu Yuan. "Originally, I was planning to take advantage of the winter solstice to find out whether Master Cheng still wanted to marry his daughter to my eldest brother."

"My second brother had to confess what you did."

"It is said that you have great ambitions and look down upon such petty matters as sack-tying."

Shu Yuan touched his nose in dismay, as if he felt a little guilty, but soon the guilt turned into righteousness, "A teacher's purpose is to impart knowledge and resolve doubts."

"He is a role model for the world, well-versed in both ancient and modern times, imparting the teachings of the sages and never tires of guiding others."

"His words are insightful and thorough, his conduct is upright and impartial, and his heart aspires to be the best."

"A teacher is like light. If one misinterprets the sages' scriptures with narrow and selfish views and shallow knowledge, then this weak but profound light will shine on the wrong path from the beginning. Students who grow up following this light may inherit this light and gradually deviate from the right path."

"As a teacher, if you only have a superficial understanding of the teachings of the sages and have not grasped their essence, you should not easily preach them. Otherwise, you will mislead your students and cause endless harm."

At this moment, Lu Mingchao seemed to see Shu Yuan, who was famous more than ten years ago, from afar through the man in front of him, whose eyebrows were as wide as thumbs and who was honest and funny.

Arrogant, proud, and fearless.

After ten years of slavery, there are some things that Shu Yuan still cherishes and seals in his bones. Occasionally, some of them will leak out, allowing him to get a glimpse of the old glory.

Shu Yuan was nervous for no reason, his voice became increasingly unsteady, and his thin, straight shoulders slumped. "I was too arrogant."

Lu Mingchao frowned and asked, "Arrogant?"

"I think it makes sense. Please continue."

Shu Yuan looked intently, as if trying to discern the truth from Lu Mingchao's words.

Seeing Lu Mingchao's clear eyes, without any evasion, and with a hint of encouragement, Fang continued, "When I was young and studying, I was fortunate to become your disciple and receive your teachings. You once enlightened us students with a simple but profound sentence: If you want to give your disciples a bowl of water, you must first have a deep foundation like a pool of water yourself."

"I admit that Master Cheng did have the merit of educating people by teaching them to read and write, but it can only be called teaching, not educating people."

"Do you want to teach and educate people?" Lu Mingchao asked word by word.

Hearing this, Shu Yuan's thick eyebrows twisted like a centipede crawling around. After a moment, he said in a deep voice, "The scholars of the world are ashamed to associate with disabled eunuchs."

"Although there is only a one-letter difference between eunuchs and literati, the difference is as great as a chasm between heaven and earth, and it is difficult to cross."

"No, the grave may be changed into a road, but the eunuchs will never be accepted by the literati, and they are only worthy of prolonging their lives."

"Forever."

Shu Yuan's words revealed an indescribable self-loathing and despair.

The sound gradually faded away, and his body became not only slumped in the shoulders but also bent in the back, like an old man nearing the end of his life, quietly waiting for the end of his life in the bleak winter night.

Lu Mingchao poured Shu Yuan a cup of hot water and handed it to him with both hands.

When Shu Yuan's emotions gradually calmed down, Lu Mingchao spoke up, "But Shu Yuan has been buried alive. Now you are Xie Sui, Xie Sui of Changxi Village."

"Even if things get back on track tomorrow, you can still continue to be Xie Sui."

"When we met again, Xie Yan said that your talent and talent would not disappear just because you became a banished person."

"Who says that if one is a scholar, he cannot have the character and heart of a scholar?"

"Your ambitions will be fulfilled by others who will follow you."

Lu Mingchao paused, and then his tone suddenly rose, "We don't want to keep an idle person at home. You are old, and your arms and legs are old, and thin. You can't farm or hunt, so you can only be a teacher to earn some tuition."

"You keep making excuses. Do you really want to stay at home and eat for free?"

"Are you worried that you don't have enough knowledge and experience?"

Shu Yuan looked at Lu Mingchao in silence for a long time.

He smiled suddenly. "This is a crude and crude way of provoking someone."

Lu Mingchao stretched out his index finger and shook it left and right. "It's a question from the bottom of my heart."

"After all, talent and fame are like smoke, which has dissipated in more than ten years."

"It's hard for a poor family to study and produce a noble son. I can't let you ruin my life!"

"It's the destruction of destruction." Lu Mingchao reminded considerately.

"Whether it's okay or not, whether you're going to do it or not, just say it in one sentence, be straightforward."

Xie Yan lifted the heavy curtain and walked in over the threshold.

Listening to Lu Mingchao's powerful tone, I was very curious, "What happened?"

Lu Ming raised his chin and pointed at Shu Yuan, "A Yan, he's eating for free!"

"It's really shameful to eat for free!" Xie Yan echoed seriously.

Shu Yuan had a complicated expression, looking very puzzled. "I gave him a stack of banknotes."

Lu Mingchao and Xie Yan looked at each other. "Is there? I don't remember."

Xie Yan: "Yeah, is there? I don't remember either."

Shu Yuan: Who is shameful?

"Xie Yan, where are your principles?" Shu Yuan said angrily.

Xie Yan repeated Lu Mingchao's question, "Is it okay? Do you want to do it? Just say it in one sentence. Be straightforward."

Principle?

The Ming Dynasty would not go against its principles.

If the principle is violated, it is somewhat ignorant.

The principle is not sensible, but he is sensible.

Shu Yuan: "You didn't even ask her what she wanted me to do?"

Xie Yan said lightly, "No need to ask, it must be something suitable for you."

"Ming Chao has always been considerate and thoughtful to his relatives and friends."

Xie Yan's words made Lu Mingchao laugh.

With a startled glance, Xie Yan thought inappropriately that Ming Chao was beautiful without any makeup, but her complexion was like the morning glow reflecting on a glacier, and her smile was really like a red plum blossom blooming in the snow, so beautiful.

Well, it’s even more beautiful than the entire plum forest in full bloom in Bixu Mansion.
