The door was opened, and what caught the young man's eyes was a young man.

The young man has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and has an excellent temperament.

Paired with a moon-white robe, anyone who saw him would have to say a few words of praise for the handsome young man and the best young man in troubled times.

If coupled with his reputation as a poet who is at the forefront of the Huainan literary world, he may be enough to capture the hearts of all the girls in Huainan.

Logically speaking, no matter how you look at such a person, he is a good person.

Being his teacher Shen Liangfu is more than enough.

But... when he saw Gu Beichuan for the first time, Shen Liangfu was stunned for a long time before he recovered, his eyes filled with shock.

Because... the young man's sitting posture is extremely inelegant.

One foot is on the ground normally, and the other foot is on a low bench. At the same time, the body is leaning forward, holding a pair of chopsticks in his right hand, and constantly fishing for something in the boiling hot pot in front of him.

Seeing Shen Liangfu coming, he grinned and said in a not-so-authentic Huainan accent: "Here you are? Let's have something to eat together?"

Shen Liangfu:???

Is this Shijun?

That poet who was hailed as a rising star in the Huainan literary world when he was only twenty years old?

He felt that his outlook on life was like a landslide, collapsing out of control.

However, his good tutoring and literacy still made him react instinctively: he bent down, bowed his hands, performed a teacher's salute, and then said respectfully: "The student has already eaten."

Gu Gu Gu~

However, at this moment, Shen Liangfu's slightly larger stomach made a distinct sound.

At that moment, Shen Liangfu felt his cheeks were hot, his toes were tightening, and he was clenching his boots on the floor, wanting to escape from here immediately.

Gu Beichuan was also stunned and said with a smile: "You... come up and eat together."

Hearing this, Shen Liangfu frowned again.

He was not a smart man, but his father had high hopes for him since he was a child. When he was in school, he hired the best teachers from all over the country.

While others were still looking for a good book but could not find it, he already had a library of books.

These were brought to him by his father, so he also strengthened his determination to study hard and repay his father.

Although he was dull in nature, he had not heard anything outside the window for more than ten years and devoted himself to studying the books of sages, which also allowed him to gain some fame.

From scholar to scholar, everything went smoothly because of my father's management.

But when it came to the national examination, his father had no role and he could only rely on himself.

But he took the exam for three full years and still didn't get a good grade.

This made him feel that he had not read enough books and that his reading heart was not pious enough.

So he began to recite the principles in the book day and night, and when he met people, it was what the book said...

The book says that it is obviously inappropriate and rude to eat at the same table as the teacher when you meet him for the first time.

But if you don't go, you are not obeying the teacher's orders and it is disrespectful.

This put him in a dilemma.

However, after my nose quivered, I smelled the aroma of hot pot and felt unbearably hungry.

Shen Liangfu gritted his teeth and stamped his feet. He decided to do something major that went against the book.

"I sincerely obey my master's orders." After leaning down again and bowing his hands, Shen Liangfu went to the table and began to feast.

It has to be said that Shen Liangfu's body was not born in vain, I'm afraid it was passed down from the Shen family.

Half of the large pot of meat went into his stomach.

After eating, Shen Liangfu stared blankly at his fat white palms, a flash of annoyance flashed through his heart, and his face was full of disbelief.

The first time I met my mentor, I not only ate at the same table as my mentor, but I also stole most of his food!

What...what have I done?

It’s so rude! It’s so rude!

Shen Liangfu exerted force on the soles of his feet again, as if he wanted to dig a crack in the ground through his boots.

Seeing his appearance, Gu Beichuan also smiled a little.

This Shen Gui's son is really a wonderful man.

"Tell me, who is your name, and what books have you read?"

When Shen Liangfu heard this, he suddenly became excited and realized that this was his mentor who was testing him. He sat up straight with a loud noise and said respectfully: "My disciple's name is Shen Liangfu. I have studied..."

As he was talking, Shen Liangfu noticed that Gu Beichuan's brows were frowning, so he felt a little thump in his heart, stopped his name for the book, and asked instead: "Teacher, is this disciple not reading enough books?"

"No, on the contrary, you read too many books."

"What...what!"

Shen Liangfu was completely stunned and murmured: "Isn't it better to read more of this book?"

"No, no!"

"Books are good things and spiritual food. They bear the heavy responsibility of inheriting human knowledge and culture!"

"But, not every book is right."

"After all, books are written by people. As long as they are human, they will make mistakes, so books will also make mistakes."

"From the moment you walked in, I noticed that you were too rigid. In other words, you were too abiding by etiquette."

"You have to know that the real role of ethics is to assist the king in governing the country and bringing peace to the country."

"Rather than shackles that restrict words and deeds."

Hearing this, Shen Liangfu had a fat face, and his facial features were all twisted together in a tangled manner.

He felt that his three views had collapsed again, and he said tremblingly: "How can there be mistakes in what is written in the book?"

Gu Beichuan heard that this child was too rigid in his behavior and he had to correct him.

"In that case, let me ask you a question."

"There is an old saying: How can a man who is born between heaven and earth live in depression and depression for a long time? He would rather be defeated than surrendered! Yes or no?"

"That's right." Shen Liangfuquan thought it was an exam and replied respectfully.

"An old saying goes like this: When a man is born in this world, he should be able to bend and stretch. Only by being useful can he do extraordinary things. Is that true?"

"Yes!"

"Then I would like to ask you, my teacher, should a man be willing to bend but not give in, or should he be able to bend and stretch?"

"This..." Shen Liangfu froze on the spot, at a loss.

He has learned these two ancient sayings, and when viewed individually, there is no problem. When put together, there is something... paradoxical?

"As the old saying goes: A small amount of money is not a gentleman."

"There is an old saying again: If you don't take revenge, you are not a gentleman!"

"Tell me, master, should a gentleman take revenge?"

Gu Beichuan didn't wait for his answer and began to output continuously.

"There is an old saying: It is better to be broken into pieces than to be completely destroyed!"

"An old saying goes like this: If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood."

"As the old saying goes, a prodigal son will never be replaced by gold."

"An old saying goes like this: A country is easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to change."

"Can you tell me, Master, which of these words is correct and which is wrong?"

Shen Liangfu stayed where he was, dumbfounded.

After a long time, he knelt down on the ground and said with great respect: "Teacher, please clarify my doubts."

However, Gu Beichuan shook his head and said: "My teacher will teach you the first lesson now. When asking for advice, just speak your mind directly. There is no need to bend down, let alone kneel down."

"You have to know that a man has gold at his knees."

"But...teacher, it is said in the book that all the kings and masters of heaven and earth can kneel down and worship."

When Gu Beichuan heard this, he shook his head helplessly. This was the custom of respecting teachers in Daqian, but he was really not used to kneeling all the time.

If in future generations, any teacher asks his students to kneel down, they may be sprayed to the sky.
