Seeing the obvious embarrassment on Fu Nian Zhengpai's face, Zheng Ze always had a faint smile, "The way of a saint? I remember the Confucian sages once said, do your duty without mercy and act bravely when you see justice. A benevolent person loves others; a righteous person is altruistic. I
I originally thought that Mr. Fu Nian was deeply educated in Confucian classics, but now it seems that is not the case."
Fu Nian frowned slightly, but his expression remained basically unchanged, "But what kind of kindness is this? What kind of justice is there?"
He pointed at those graceful women. He had studied Confucianism for many years. He had never seen such a scene before. His first impression was... it was offensive!
Zheng Ze's expression was calm and he glanced at the sisters carefully selected by Zi Nu. In terms of appearance alone, all of them were outstanding.
"Mr. Fu Nian looks down on them?" When Zheng Ze raised his hand, a woman standing on the far right came out and came to the table to pour drinks for the two of them.
Fu Nian's eyes flashed and he was about to speak, but Zheng Ze still didn't give him a chance. The papermaking technology was in his hands, so the initiative was with him, provided that Confucian knew that he would come up with it.
After all, they are very patient people who believe in etiquette. At least they will not directly label people as having bad moral character from the beginning and then rob them openly.
"The women standing in front of Mr. Fu Nian are all women who have suffered from war and suffering. Without Zilanxuan, perhaps they would have become withered bones on the roadside. Mr. Fu Nian thinks that such good deeds as Zilanxuan should not be worthy of praise.
Praise? And since you saw it, shouldn’t you use your own practical actions to help them?"
Listening to Zheng Ze's eloquent talk, Fu Nian felt no disturbance in his heart. He had strict requirements on his own moral character and would not easily doubt his own virtuous conduct.
"The Master said, do not do to others what you do not want others to do to you. As Confucianists, we are a model for scholars all over the world. If Fu Nian sets a bad example here against his will, wouldn't he mislead many people who originally devoted themselves to studying?" He said loudly and loudly.
.
However, Zheng Ze shook his head, "In the Yan Yuan Chapter of the Analects, the Master said, The beauty of a gentleman is not the evil of a man, but the evil of a villain. Since Confucianism is a model, shouldn't it be more important to spread such evil deeds?"
Nong Yu, who was standing aside, listened to Zheng Ze arguing with the Confucian disciple, and her gentle and calm heart could not help but be shaken at this moment.
What he said really struck a chord in the hearts of the girls in their Purple Orchid Pavilion.
Even the women behind her, looking at Zheng Ze's handsome profile, couldn't help but have their eyes sparkle and their hearts palpitate.
This gentleman is so right!
However, Fu Nian did not agree, "Mencius, Li Lou Shang, said that without the six rhythms, the five tones cannot be corrected; without the rules, the squares and circles cannot be formed. If people cannot abide by the ethical principles in their hearts, how can they maintain the order of the world?
?”
Listening to his strict words, the corners of Zheng Ze's lips twitched, and he could not cite the scriptures to convince the future head of Confucianism.
And Nong Yu's beautiful eyes were focused on him. She could feel that this Confucian master did have a firm belief in the ideals in his heart. Zheng Ze... I'm afraid he couldn't be convinced.
Zheng Ze smiled softly and said, "Mr. Fu Nian, do you think the paper method can fulfill the principles of Confucianism?"
Fu Nian nodded seriously, that's why he came here, "Of course."
"Then, between the principles of Confucianism and the rules adhered to by Sir, you can choose one!" Zheng Ze said lightly, with a hint of unhappiness in his tone.
"This..." Fu Nian was slightly startled. Halfway through the explanation, why did he start to become unreasonable?
Originally, Confucianism could not be in a hurry, but on the way, he also received news that Taoism, Mohism, and perhaps other sects were also sending people, so he arrived one step ahead and naturally could not give up the advantage in front of him.
Sighing, Fu Nian picked up the wine glass in front of him and gestured to Zheng Ze, "Since Mr. Zheng is so kind, Fu Nian can't refuse."
Seeing that he was still so upright, Zheng Ze smiled softly. The other person was different from himself. He was a young man with real ideals and ambitions. If the person that Madam Mingzhu was seducing was him, Fu Nian would definitely not say, "Madam, you look at people."
"Really accurate".
But he didn't care about this. He turned his head and said to the bright women: "Mr. Fu Nian has already spoken. What are you waiting for? You have to entertain the good gentleman for me, otherwise I will let Miss Zi Nu punish you!"
The girls were not moved by Zheng Ze's "threat". After listening to his words, they all smiled and walked towards Fu Nian.
In front of Fu Nian, Zheng Ze gently put his arm around Nong Yu's slender waist.
Nongyu is somewhat used to this. It's normal for siblings to hug each other, right?
What's more, this was because of Zi Lanxuan, who had to act on the occasion. In order to be more natural, Nongyu obediently leaned her body on him, raised the wine glass and put it to his lips.
Fu Nian saw such a woman running towards him, his eyes widened unconsciously, and then he looked at Zheng Ze and saw that the other party was already enjoying the beauty.
I thought silently in my heart, "Mencius said, you can't have both, you have to sacrifice your life for righteousness!"
Fu Nian sat upright among the flowers, turning a blind eye to the delicate body around him.
Fortunately, they didn't take the initiative to do anything to themselves, otherwise they would have lost too much.
Zheng Ze looked at Fu Nian, who was still standing still. He understood this behavior, but did not agree with it.
"Mr. Zheng, your papermaking method..." Fu Nian said, he never forgot the purpose of his coming.
Hearing this, Zheng Ze sighed, "I regard Mr. Fu Nian as a good friend, but Mr. Fu Nian only cares about papermaking, and his sincerity is always wrongly paid."
Fu Nian was also helpless. Mr. Zheng's temperament was too weird, and he really couldn't enjoy his enthusiasm for entertaining people.
But in the face of Zheng Ze, he still had to continue business. "It's arrogant."
Shaking his head, Zheng Ze said: "In my opinion, although paper is good, it depends on how you use it. Mr. Fu Nian, do you think there are many people in this Purple Orchid Pavilion?"
He pointed to the lobby outside the window, from where he could have a panoramic view of the entire scenery below.
It was noon, and Zilanxuan's reputation had not yet recovered, so there were naturally very few people.
"It's not much." Fu Nian looked away. He was not sure what Mr. Zheng wanted to do.
Zheng Ze smiled softly, "Tomorrow, still here, still at this time, I will hand over the art of papermaking to Mr. Fu Nian."
Hearing this, Fu Nian's eyes flashed, this... was really an unexpected surprise.
"But now, let's play a game of chess with me!"
…
After about a stick of incense, Fu Nian finally walked out of Zilanxuan with impatient steps. He really didn't want to stay for a moment longer.
"Why are you walking so fast, sir?" Behind him, Zheng Ze slowly followed him to see him off.
Fu Nian was a little helpless, "In that game of chess, Mr. Zheng won. Fu Nian admires him."
Zheng Ze raised his eyebrows, "They all said that I won, Mr. Fu Nian, the people are very discerning!"
Hearing this, Fu Nian's eyes moved slightly, this sentence...
Before he could think about it, a loud shout suddenly came from the street, "Isn't this Mr. Funian, a great Confucian disciple?!!!"
This loud shout, like a bell, suddenly startled the pedestrians on the street. For a moment, everyone couldn't help but look over.
Fu Nian looked at the source of the voice. It was a burly man. He saw excitement on his face, "Disciple of the Confucian leader, Mr. Fu Nian! Why did you come to South Korea and come to Zilanxuan?!"
He had to use his utmost strength to speak every word, for fear that the people around him would not hear it.
People who didn't know why looked at the man who spoke loudly, and then saw Fu Nian in formal Confucian uniform.
Someone was curious and whispered softly, "What did that person say just now?"
"I was shocked. It seemed that Mr. Confucianism came to Korea. He seemed to be very famous!"
"No, it's the Confucian leader!"
"What? The Confucian master is visiting a brothel?"
Zheng Ze stroked his forehead helplessly and looked at Tang Ba who was exerting too much force. He just asked him to shout casually to attract attention. Why did he put up so many tricks?
Fu Nian was a little confused, "You... know me?"
Tang Ba looked calm and shook his head, "I don't know him."
