Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

Chapter 55: Refute

Someone who is sensitive to hearing because of his inner strength can’t pretend not to hear those private conversations.

Li Baolu twitched the corners of her mouth and pulled Gu Jingyun out of the inn.

Although Gu Jingyun’s ears are not as good as Li Baolu’s, his eyes are not blind, he has seen the strange eyes of everyone, especially when Li Baolu pulled his hand, the eyes of those scholars almost stared out.

Li Baolu left behind the faint voices like “humiliating gentleness” and dragged Gu Jingyun to go shopping, “Would you like to buy some books for you?”

“And then throw it away? We have so much money?” Gu Jingyun looked around and said, “Look at a big bookstore to see if there is a scripture for candidates over the years. My uncle said that looking at what others have done can learn from each other’s strengths.”

The two of them wandered around and found that half of the street was full of places selling calligraphy and painting, pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other cultural supplies.

There are also test baskets for first base and first base outside the shop here, apparently for the government test preparation.

Because the exam was approaching, there were many people on the street, most of them wore Confucian shirts, and they were not noisy, and most of them kept their voices low.

Gu Jingyun liked the atmosphere very much, nodded and said, “Let’s find a bigger bookstore to go in and have a look.”

When buying a book, especially a book that has just come out, it is natural to read it first and then decide whether to buy it or not. Gu Jingyun reads books very fast, and these books are not thick. There are only ten people’s scriptures in one book. I remembered it once.

Probably didn’t agree with the point of view of the classics. His brows were locked all the time, and Li Baolu, who was familiar with him, even noticed the disdain in his heart.

She stood beside him for a while, and then set her eyes on the bookshelf beside him. She also found books she was interested in.

The scholars who passed by this row of bookshelves looked up at Li Baolu in amazement when they saw Li Baolu. Some of them looked at her with red ears and looked away. They took the books they wanted and left in a hurry. The person glared at her with disdain and disgust, avoiding her like she was dirty.

Li Baolu: “…”

Li Baolu got angry, and simply took the book and walked to the people who hated and avoided her. They were three steps away. Those people were obviously startled by her. is anger.

Li Baolu sneered in her heart, but she didn’t show it on her face. She took a few steps forward and forced people out of this bookshelf before giving up. Humph, I make you look down on people!

looked back and met a pair of eyes, Li Baolu was startled and jumped back, but there was no sound when she landed.

Gu Jingyun glanced at her helplessly and asked in a low voice, “Is it fun?”

Li Baolu said: “Don’t you think the scholars outside are very strange?”

Gu Jingyun glanced at her and said, “You are also very strange in their eyes.” He took a roll of things in his hand, took her hand and walked out, “Okay, there is no scripture I am looking for here, but Find a roll of goodies, let’s go.”

The good thing that Gu Jingyun said was an outdated newspaper of the imperial court.

Dibao generally records the new policies of the imperial court, or disasters that occurred in various places. There are also articles commended by the emperor, or the opinions of the cabinet and other great scholars on the new government affairs. Of course, they are officially approved opinions.

Di Bao is published every ten days. Only officials at all levels, officials, and retired officials can get a Di Bao. Among them, retired officials default to the fifth grade or above, so the Di Bao is not widely used in the private sector, and it is really difficult to find it. .

No one dared to publish the Yindi News without permission. Gu Jingyun just turned to a scripture, and because of the strange arguments, he immediately got angry and shoved the book into the bookshelf, and when he turned around, he kicked the book under the bookshelf. thing.

In order to prevent moisture, the bookshelves that are attached to the floor will not put new books for sale, but books that are recovered from outside and confirmed to be of low value through pick-up points.

When    is recovered, it is at the price of scrap, and it is not too expensive to sell.

Gu Jingyun handed the checked out volume of Di Bao to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper flipped through the pages and said, “This is the Di newspaper from last year and the year before, one ten cents, this is twenty-three in total, a total of two hundred and thirty cents.”

Li Baolu hurriedly took out the money to settle the bill, Gu Jingyun asked casually, “Is Di Bao still for sale? I thought they were all kept.”

The shopkeeper glanced at him and said, “There is always a family that is in decline.”

He took the money, only to find out that Li Baolu was a girl, he couldn’t help frowning and said, “How do you bring a woman into the bookstore?”

He glanced at the bookstore and saw that many people were looking at this side with dissatisfaction, so he lowered his voice and said, “Young master, next time you come here, you should leave the maid at home. Bringing women here is simply slandering the saint. Territory.”

Not to mention that Li Baolu was stunned and stiff, even Gu Jingyun opened his mouth in astonishment before asking in confusion, “Women can’t enter the bookstore? What is this saying?”

The shopkeeper was really dazed and ignorant when he saw Gu Jingyun. He was in a slightly better mood. He glanced at Li Baolu disdainfully and said, “Women should look after their husbands and teach their children at home. What kind of manners would it be to show up outside like this?”

Li Baolu endured it, but couldn’t hold back, she tilted her head and looked at him innocently, “It turns out that you look down on women, so your mother is not a woman?”

She glanced up and down at the shopkeeper, smiled and said, “So you crawled out of a man’s stomach?”

The shopkeeper’s eyes were red with anger, and he pointed at Li Baolu and said angrily, “Only women and villains are difficult to raise, and saints will not deceive me.”

Gu Jingyun quickly rolled up the Di Bao and put it in his arms, and sure enough, he heard Li Baolu’s contemptuous words in his ear: “Don’t insult the saint, “The Analects of Confucius” is a five-year-old study, and a five-year-old child knows the meaning of this sentence, you It is a different kind of skill to directly translate ‘woman’ as a woman.”

“The reputation of the sage Confucius was ruined by you. Why did he look down on women? He lost his father at the age of three and was brought up by his mother. If he looked down on women again, he would not be able to be a saint. King Wu of Zhou had a female minister. , Kong Shengren still praised her, ‘It’s hard, unexpectedly? During Tang Yu’s time, Yu Si was prosperous, there were women, and there were only nine people.’” Li Baolu looked at the shopkeeper sarcastically, and said, “You are proud of yourselves. The descendants of Confucianism run counter to the original thought of the ancestors, I think you are not Confucian scholars, but enemies of Confucianism?”

When it comes to quarrels, Li Baolu may not be as good as a scholar known for quarrelling, but she fundamentally questions you, don’t blame her for her lack of knowledge.

Li Baolu asked with a face full of sarcasm: “The shopkeeper, there is one thing that little girls have always been unclear about. Confucianism advocates filial piety to govern the world. This filial piety is for the father and naturally for the mother, but if Confucianism looks down on women, they trample them on the bottom Next, what kind of attitude should you have towards your mother? One more question, if your mother came to the bookstore, would you point her nose and shove her out?”

“What a big face,” Li Baolu’s face sank completely, “If I were your mother, I should have drowned when I gave birth to you. From now on, I will only keep my daughter, not my son, lest the son I teach will look down on me! ”

The shopkeeper’s lips trembled with anger, and shaking his fingers angrily said: “You, you, you misinterpret what I mean, I, I…”

He was still a scholar who couldn’t see it, he stepped forward and stopped among the three of them, without looking at Li Baolu, he directly saluted Gu Jingyun: “Young Master, please restrain some maids, the shopkeeper has been taught a lesson even if he is not, we all know “Yang” The meaning of “goods”, it’s just that the world uses this sentence like this, it’s used to slip out of the mouth, it’s not to distort the words of the sage…”

Everyone knows that in “The Analects of Confucius? Yang Huo”, “Only women and villains are difficult to raise” is Confucius laughing at Zi Gong and other apprentices, saying that they “you boys are as bad as children,” is not an insult to women, But no one knows since when the words have changed their taste, even if the scholar knows its meaning, he will forget the original meaning after listening to it too much.

This is similar to modern Internet slang, giving an existing word a completely different meaning and becoming popular.

But what Li Baolu cares about is not the meaning of the sentence, but the contemptuous attitude of everyone towards women. Even now, most of the scholars in the bookstore are glaring at Li Baolu, feeling that she is making a big fuss about a sentence, and the shopkeeper just thinks that he is reading It just doesn’t make sense, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with him looking down on women.

Even after Li Baolu questioned.

Li Baolu glanced at the scholar who couldn’t grasp the point, took a deep breath, and apologized to the shopkeeper solemnly: “The shopkeeper is mine, isn’t it, it’s not your fault, how can I blame you? ”

Everyone was stunned by the development of this god. This maid was aggressive just now, but why is she soft now?

Some people also put their eyes on Gu Jingyun, thinking that she was mostly afraid of the master’s blaming.

Gu Jingyun’s expression darkened, he pulled Li Baolu behind him, and said solemnly to the scholar who was standing in front of him, “Brother, you’ve done me a favor, but this is not my maid, she is my wife, and secondly, it’s rare for a saint to say anything, since If you claim to be a Confucian student, you should be treated with respect, why do you take the sage’s words as a joke? Third, Madam is not only annoyed by the world’s misuse of the sage’s words, but also because the world has misinterpreted the sage’s meaning.”

Gu Jingyun sighed and said: “The sage’s teaching and teaching are for future generations to inherit his legacy and create a prosperous world, but we worship him as our patriarch, but we run counter to him, and we use his words to do such filthy things. Gu is ashamed. The teacher’s teaching is even more ashamed of reading the books of sages and sages for many years.”

After saying that, he pulled Li Baolu with shame on his face and left.

The scholars in the bookstore all felt that their hearts were blocked, as if a stone had been pressed against their hearts. Yes, the sage said clearly that it was not like this, but they misinterpreted the sage’s meaning and justified it. This kind of unfaithful and unfilial behavior, What other face do they have to face their grandfather?

Some have already thought that we study the words of the sages in order to gain knowledge and then sell to the imperial family, honor the ancestors, and shelter the descendants, but is that all there is to it?

Who doesn’t want to make meritorious deeds, be a person who is beneficial to the common people, who has made meritorious deeds in the society, and is famous for generations?

Like Confucius, but they only read books in the dark, without even thinking about the original intention of the sages of Confucius, how can they be such people?

Are they satisfied that they can only become a bureaucrat and shine on the lintel after they have obtained a title?
