If you are hungry, you will definitely not starve to Confucius. After all, there are so many gods around you who are protecting him. But gods cannot show their magical powers indiscriminately, so they can protect Confucius from being dizzy and unable to die of starvation for seven days, but they cannot produce food for him to eat.

If Yan Hui could get the food back, he would make the teacher like him more, so he made an agreement with Yun Yao, and it was just in handy now.

Yunyao prepared millet and ten old bacon. She wanted to try to stay in Confucius' private school for a few years. Although she felt that Confucius would not recruit women, it would be fine to try it. Maybe she could leave one or two household idioms.

The status of women has declined from the early Spring and Autumn Period to the present, and the private ownership system has been promoted, and the small peasant economy has gradually formed. There are more and more families for men to farm and women to weave, and women’s status in society has become increasingly biased towards the main body.

Yan Hui brought back the grain and took a bite first while cooking.

Confucius felt uncomfortable when he saw that Yan Hui did not respect his teacher. The teacher had been hungry for seven days and had not eaten. How could he eat first as a disciple?

He would not put this problem in his heart. When the rice was ready, he asked Yan Hui: "I just dreamed of my ancestors, but I was confused about eating the rice first and then asking my ancestors to eat empty bowls."

Yan Hui knew that Confucius must have seen him eat first, so he was unhappy, so he explained: "It was not easy to throw away the ashes in the pot just now, so I could only eat a corner of the ashes."

When Confucius heard that he had misunderstood Yan Hui, he realized that Yan Hui was not greedy and couldn't help but sigh: "I thought seeing is true, but now I know that seeing is not necessarily credible. I thought I could trust my heart, but my inner imagination would also deceive myself. It is really not easy to understand the original appearance of a person and something."

Yan Hui was so impressed that he was truly impressed by Confucius. Confucius could tell such a big truth in just such a small matter. He was indeed the leader of all the philosophers.

After eating, you should reflect. After all, I have to examine myself three times a day. I have to think about why they promoted the path of self-restraint and regaining rituals so difficult and thorny. Confucius found Zilu, Zigong, and Yan Hui to listen to their disciples’ ideas.

Confucius is a cultural person, so he said in a roundabout way: "There is an animal in the Book of Songs, either a rhino or a tiger. He walked around the wild without direction. Isn't it me? Is it my opinion wrong? Otherwise, why did it fall to this point?" Although Confucius was born a down-and-out aristocrat, after he became famous, he quickly drew a clear line with the working class. He hated farming, work, or doing nothing in the suburbs.

Now he is trapped in the wilderness and can't even enter the city. Isn't this embarrassing? Using the animal's self-report in the Book of Songs, it means that he is now confused and doesn't know what to do, and he feels that he may have to fall back to the working class again.

Zilu is a martial artist. After hearing this, he said, "Maybe because we don't do well enough on weekdays, everyone is unwilling to accept our opinions. Or we are not smart enough, so this is how it is."

Confucius shook his head: "If people can be entrusted with us if they have enough virtue in their daily lives, then Boyi and Shuqi will not have to die. If wisdom can help people resolve all difficulties, then Bi Gan will not die." Obviously he did not think it was the reason for his virtue and wisdom, because the virtues were better and the wiser sages died miserably.

Bigan was in the time of King Zhou of Shang, and Boyi and Shuqi were also in the time of that time. When King Wu of Zhou attacked the Shang Dynasty, these two people would rather starve to death than betray the Shang Dynasty.

Zilu's statement was denied. Zigong, a rich man, is relatively smooth and not as direct as Zilu. He said: "Maybe because the teacher's proposition is too great, so people in the world have no understanding and cannot understand it. Otherwise, we lower the standard and only promote the part that ordinary people can understand?"

Confucius almost turned aside after hearing this. Zigong was embarrassed. Can a gentleman lower his requirements and cater to others? If he does this, what kind of gentleman is called a gentleman?

"Farmers work diligently, but they cannot guarantee a certain harvest. Craftsmen work hard, but they cannot guarantee that every work is perfect. I make reasonable claims and tell them how to govern the country and how to restore the Zhou rituals, but they cannot allow everyone to accept it." That is to say that not being accepted by all people in the world is not an excuse to lower their own standards.

Finally, it was Yan Hui. Yan Hui admired Confucius very much, just like he admired Yuanshi Tianzun. So he opened his mouth and said, "It is not our fault to advocate not being accepted, but the fault of the world. We just promote it, and they do not accept it will not affect our gentleman's true nature. On the contrary, if we do not promote it, this is our fault."

Confucius was happy: "If you get rich, I will kill you in the future." This is what he wants to hear. Promotional proposals are not wrong, not promoting propositions is wrong, and not accepting propositions is also wrong. Anyway, he has already expressed his guilt.

Yunyao pricked up his ears and listened, thinking to himself that Master Confucius was still arrogant. Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t he reflect on whether his claims are deficient and then improve them?

No one said he wanted to improve, but only said he lowered the standards. Do they really think that self-restraint and rejuvenation of etiquette are perfect?

They may not think it is perfect, but no one can propose another framework covering the world. Now is not an era of controversy among hundreds of schools of thought. Except for Confucius' self-restraint and revival of rituals, it is somewhat biased to respect the king and expel the barbarians.

Yunyao stood outside the camp surrounded by carriages. After listening to the conversation in Confucius' tent, he felt that it was almost done, so he said to the group of embarrassed students: "Is this where Confucius Confucius is?" As soon as she shouted loudly, everyone stood up and looked over.

A dusty woman stood outside the camp, carrying ten pieces of bacon in her hand. Who are you going to help you become a disciple?

Confucius heard from his disciples that someone was coming to become a disciple, so he immediately put out his makeup and clothes and asked Yunyao to come in.

Even though he was so down and unable to eat, Confucius's clothes and colors were still very particular and still very grand. He was a standard old man from Lu. Judging from the calluses on the tiger's mouth, he was used to fencing with his right hand.

Confucius asked Yunyao when he saw Yunyao, "Who is going to be a disciple? Why are you the only one?" The ten bacons are the rules he set to become a disciple. As long as he was given bacon, he would take apprentices. But when he saw Yunyao, he did not see anyone else. He did not think that Yunyao was apprenticing to his disciple, but felt that Yunyao was apprenticing to others.

Yunyao wanted to experience all kinds of philosophies one by one. After finally traveling through time, it would be wasted if it didn't come to reflect it. Anyway, the Heavenly Court will soon be made a big fuss by Sun Wuzi, and she can't control her at all.

Sun Wukong and Guan Zhong were born in the same year. Now they have gone to sea to learn skills. When he returns, he will make trouble in the East China Sea and break into the underworld. Finally, he will give Anbi Ma Wen, erect a flag to rebel against the sky, and make a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace. In the next few hundred years, the Heavenly Court will be very busy because of the Monkey King.

"I am Zhu, my name is Yun, and the surname Yao. I want to take you as my teacher." Yun Yao showed a harmless smile of humans and animals, handed over and gave him ten traits of old bacon, and said, "I would like to ask my master to accept me as my disciple."

Confucius immediately refused when he heard this, "What kind of ethics do women should weave cloth at home and collect it in the fields. How can they learn from teachers?"
