  After teaching for several days, the number of children who came to learn every day was much more than the previous day. Remember the full ~520 reading, website: xs520.

Feng Yun doesn’t prohibit it, but the house is already full of bundles of bacon.

“You don’t need to send me here to practice. This month I’m just going to listen. If you still want to learn it after one month, we can talk about the practice again.”

Feng Yun said this, and Shu Xiu's momentum weakened.

 However, the number of people is getting higher and higher, and even some idle adult men gather outside the low wall to learn seal script like the children.

 “Let’s move to the well and give lectures.”

 This well is the daily source of running water for the residents of the city. The site is quite wide, and there are ancient willows hanging beside it, still swaying in the summer wind.

"Master, please sit down." A young man looked at the bamboo mat, spread it under the willow tree, and then found a good place to sit down.

The name of Master Yun has already spread throughout the surrounding neighborhoods and has a tendency to spread to the outside world.

Feng Yun did not restrain himself from cultivation, and his lectures in the open air also brought him a lot of fame.

"Let's go downstream to do laundry, don't disturb Mrs. Yun." Some women washing clothes walked around the river not far from the well and went further downstream.

The sound of wooden mallets hitting clothes was faint, but it didn't bother me at all. On the contrary, this familiar and homely sound made the new children here and the adults who came to listen to the class feel a lot calmer.

 “Today, let’s talk about these words...”

When the sound of lectures rises, the sound of banging sticks will stop. [Remember the domain name of this websitexs520 .

Look at those women again. They all heard the sound and wrote on the ground with water stains, regardless of whether it was correct or not.

Of course, there are people who look forward to Feng Yun’s lectures, and there are naturally those who make trouble.

 But Feng Yun is a ceremonial scholar, so these people are still afraid of him.

"No matter how polite a sergeant is, I won't buy a property. I'm afraid I will be kicked out by my uncle and come here to be the boss of the land. Brother, we can't be afraid of him!"

But before these people could attack, they saw two young men dressed in Xuan Duan, with swords and jade hanging on their waists, coming in a hurry.

 Behind them, there were several tall guards following closely behind them.

Those who want to cause trouble, stop immediately.

“I came a little late, Sergeant Yun has already started giving lectures.”

 “Hush, take a seat first.”

Feng Yun, who was lecturing, glanced at those people. Although he was surprised, he ignored them and continued to finish the unfinished seal script, and then let these students and children continue to learn calligraphy.

Of course, learning Chinese characters is just a daily routine. Feng Yun guessed that he couldn't teach all the time, so he wanted to say something useful.

 While learning Chinese characters, it was not completely silent. Instead, it was noisy from time to time, arguing endlessly over the way to write a character.

Feng Yun does not prevent such arguments, as long as there are no fistfights.

"Hang on, let's not talk about the words next, let's talk about the ritual system of the Zhou Dynasty - "Rituals". Complete edition????520.????"

The "Rituals" are the norms that restrict the daily behavior of everyone in the Zhou Dynasty. For the common people, knowing the "Rites" is the stepping stone to the upper class, so as not to be regarded as vulgar people by the nobles.

Even if these children cannot transcend class in the future, they can still use "Rituals" to gain some experience in dealing with others.

"Listen, "Etiquette" covers various etiquettes such as crowning, wedding, funeral, sacrifice, hometown, shooting, court, employment, etc. It mainly records the etiquette of scholar-officials, but ordinary people can also use it as a goal.

In case of overstepping, use it as a courtesy..."

Only by knowing etiquette can you avoid being rude.

These people were naturally curious about the affairs of scholar-bureaucrats. When Feng Yun talked about "Rituals", they all concentrated on it, wanting to have a glimpse of the lives of scholar-bureaucrats.

 And what Feng Yun picked up was the courtesy of the scholars. Some of the courtesy would not hinder the common people's use. On the contrary, it would make the common people live a better life. There would even be a glimmer of opportunity for Feng Yun to transcend class...

 Common people who want to become a scholar can get approval from the scholar-bureaucrats, and Feng Yun becomes a scholar.

In addition, if you have a skill and are valued by the palace, you can be hired as a worker, and you can use your work to gain a position as a scholar, and you can also become a noble family.

 …

What Feng Yun said was not new. The two young masters were bored, but they did not leave.

 It wasn't until Feng Yun finished speaking about the etiquette mentioned today that the two men stood up.

 After a salute, he asked: "Your Majesty..."

The man next to him pulled him and said: "Master Yun, if it is true that etiquette is the rule as you said, then I dare to ask why the Yue Kingdom is rude to the court?"

 Another person also added: “How should we view the Yue Kingdom?”

As soon as these words came out, everyone around them pricked up their ears.

They did not dare to ask the Master a question, but they wanted to hear Feng Yun’s answer to this question.

 The Lord of Da Ting collected the wealth of Da Ting and sent the envoy to Da Ting. The matter is still around the corner.

Yue State insulted Da Ting, which made the people of Da Ting angry and uncomfortable. But they were just people. Even if they were righteous, what could they do if the king chose to compromise.

 Most people just feel numb and just want to protect their own one-third of an acre of land.

Feng Yun was surprised by this young master.

 “Have you ever read “The Thirty-six Hexagrams of Da Ting”?

Facing Feng Yun’s inquiry, the two of them turned red.

 “Look…have seen.”

 Seeing this appearance, Feng Yun understood.

 I have read it, but I have not thought about it deeply, so the etiquette in that book does not bind these two people.

 If this is the case, Feng Yun is willing to say a few words.

“Two gentlemen, do you think there is any difference between the courtesy of a great official and the courtesy of a scholar?”

Hearing Feng Yun's question, they both knew the "Etiquette" by heart, so they naturally knew that officials and scholars were different.

"There is a difference. The etiquette of a great official is superior to the etiquette of a scholar."

As if to show his knowledge, this person added: "The etiquette of scholars is also higher than that of common people."

After answering like this, the surrounding students bowed their heads in silence, not daring to look at the gorgeous young master.

Feng Yun nodded and said, "It's true as you said, but the courtesy of common people is higher than that of slaves."

Feng Yun’s words made the people around him raise their heads slightly, but Feng Yun hadn’t finished speaking yet.

"Slaves, shackles and shackles, and all food and clothing are given by their benefactors. Under the Zhou ritual system, it is almost impossible for them to become common people. Therefore, common people should understand the ritual system and not touch the ritual system, so as not to become slaves."

Feng Yun's words made the common people feel sad, but Feng Yun was telling the truth and hoped that people would not fall into slavery in such a world.

"But the common people are different. They have freedom and work in the fields for food. If they are on the battlefield and kill the enemy with military exploits, the common people may also become soldiers. And if they are in the fields and master a skill, they can also be appreciated one day."

“If you are literate and knowledgeable, you can also join the ranks of scholar-bureaucrats and become a counselor.”

The more Feng Yun said, the brighter the eyes of the people around him became.

 But Feng Yun did not want them to die with their illusions.

“However, you have heard that there are many common people who become scholars?”

 Not many, not even a few.

This makes the people around me feel hurt and feel it is unfair.

Feng Yun asked again: "What about the scholar who became a doctor?"

This is very little, which makes the people around them feel a lot more balanced.

Feng Yun does not want to cause riots or deceive people into rebellion. He just wants to put an end to the matter.

But the two young masters on the side were frightened when they heard this. If Feng Yun hadn't suppressed the fire in the hearts of the people, they still wouldn't know why they ended up.

The two were about to sit down and did not dare to ask any more questions, but Feng Yun said: "The etiquette of scholars and officials are different, and the etiquette of common people and scholars are different. The Yue country is a big country, so it is naturally different from the big court."
