Chapter 8 The solution of Zhongzheng [Research] Fate
As early as yesterday, after Lu Jing sensed the Bagua Diagram and had doubts in his heart, there was already a message to remind Lu Jing.
Fate and chance levels are divided into nine levels.
White, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple and gold!
For example, the opportunity of the visualization diagram of the Great Ming King Yantian that Lu Jing obtained yesterday seems to be incidental to when Lu Jing obtained the fate of "seeking good luck and avoiding evil". The status belongs to blue chance and belongs to the seventh level.
The subsequent fate of "Diligence and Hardworking" obtained through the "Seeking Good Luck and Avoiding Misfortunes" is a white fate, which is the lowest fate.
Lu Jing knew that it would be extremely difficult to obtain a blazing golden destiny like [Seeking Good Luck and Avoiding Misfortune] and a blue opportunity like [Visualization of the Ming King].
"Among these options, the most generous reward is the third [big bad] hexagram, which can obtain a yellow fate and a yellow opportunity."
Lu Jing thought quickly.
Yellow chance belongs to the fourth level.
If he can get such an opportunity, Lu Jing will definitely gain a lot.
But the first thing Lu Jing eliminated was the fourth option.
Refusing to answer, he angrily scolded Mrs. Zhong...
This is only ten words, and it seems very easy, but it should be noted that the prosperity of Dafu Confucianism has spread almost throughout the world, and filial piety has also spread throughout the world.
In this case, disobeying your aunt, disobeying your clan... means completely losing your qualifications as a human being in Dafu.
With such information, the old lady and Mrs. Zhong were furious and killed Lu Jingzhang in front of the court. No one dared to say anything wrong against them.
Maybe some people will praise them for their strict management of the family.
The best outcome is that the old lady and Mrs. Zhong showed mercy and spared Lu Jing's life. Once this matter spreads, Lu Jing will only be despised in the future, and Dafu Confucianism and Taoism will never accept it again.
Lu Jing.
Even if Lu Jing gets an opportunity in the future and can take part in the imperial examination, no matter how outstanding his essays are, the master will never let him pass the exam after hearing about his disobedience and scolding his aunt's reputation!
For all these reasons, when the sign of great misfortune is used to seek good luck and avoid misfortune, the rewards are the most generous and the consequences are the most unimaginable.
It is a serious disaster and it is self-destruction. After one choice, there will be no chance to turn around.
"This ominous image must not be chosen."
"In addition to being a very vicious elephant, [a vicious elephant] can not only earn a lot of money, but it is also very likely to be beaten severely, and it is possible that you will not be able to get out of bed for several months."
The Lu family's laws are extremely strict, which offended the old lady and the eldest lady. If they want to punish Lu Jing, then the punishment will definitely not be just a formality.
If the family law is enforced, it is very likely that you will not be able to get out of bed for several months.
For Lu Jing, the pain is secondary, and it may also affect his plan to practice martial arts.
"So, even if the reward is richer, you cannot choose [Vicious Elephant]"
"This winning elephant is too compromised, and the gain is too little. The triggering conditions for this opportunity to choose are unknown. Now that it has appeared, we must firmly grasp it."
"It seems that the rewards of auspicious elephants are less than those of unlucky elephants, but they can avoid many current disasters..."
In just a short moment, various thoughts flashed through Lu Jing's mind.
"The reason why I wanted to give a perfunctory answer just now was because I was out of temper and didn't like the aloof attitude of the Duke of Nanguo.
Young people must not be careless. When you have benefits now, why hide your clumsiness?"
"Moreover, since I have promised my original body, if I want to fight for a royal title and a phoenix crown for the mother of this body, I must not be too sharp and restrained."
Lu Jing lowered his head and while he was thinking, all eyes in the main hall, except for the old lady Jun Ning, who closed their eyes to meditate, fell on Lu Jing.
There was a bit of naughtiness in Lu Qiong's eyes, as if she wanted to see Lu Jing make a fool of herself.
There is something curious about the grand appearance in red.
Lu Yi curled her lips, probably because she didn't believe that Lu Jing could have any insights that could be put on the stage.
When Mrs. Zhong saw Lu Jing's delay in answering, her frown deepened.
She was about to rebuke.
But he saw Lu Jing, who had lowered his head in deep thought, suddenly raised his head.
In his mind, the original body's memories of "Zhongzheng" were merged.
There was a hint of light in his clear eyes.
Since time traveling, Lu Jing already knew that this "Zhongzheng" classic was very similar to the "Zhongyong" in his previous life.
As it happens, Lu Jing’s research direction in his previous life was “Research on Chinese Classics”!
So Lu Jing opened his mouth to point out the topic: "The way to be right is to use both ways to achieve the right goal!"
When this sentence was spoken, everyone in the main hall couldn't help but listen carefully.
"Lu Jing studied hard for many years in Zhongzheng and gained a lot. The meaning of "zhong" is that going too far is not enough. He opposes both "excess" and "less than"."
"And the 'right' one is eternal and without surprises. Today, most Confucian scholars believe that Zhongzheng means being impartial and adhering to both uses.
But I feel that the meaning of Zhongzheng is not so simple.
In my opinion, Zhongye is the foundation of the world, righteousness, and the way of attainment in the world. If Zhongzheng can be achieved, how will heaven be established and all things be nurtured..."
Lu Jing's body was upright, and the previous restraint and embarrassment in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by a shining light.
He talked eloquently, either quoting scriptures or adding popular explanations, which made everyone present pay attention.
Lu Feng and Lu Yi have never been interested in Zhihu people, but when Lu Jing started talking, both brothers and sisters could not help but clearly feel the difference between Lu Jing and Lu Jing.
"Why is this Lu Jing so confident?"
Shengzi was a little surprised.
When Lu Qiong heard about Lu Jing's views, she felt it was obscure at first, but when Lu Jing explained it carefully, she felt that Lu Jing's understanding of Zhongzheng was indeed different from the book.
But even so, his nature is not bad, but he is quite naughty and is not good at reading. He has heard about it, but he doesn't think it is outstanding.
But just like Lu Feng and Lu Yi, Lu Qiong also vaguely felt that there seemed to be a different kind of brilliance in Lu Jing's words.
Serious and meticulous...
"Lu Jing often reads and studies "Zhongzheng" on weekdays."
For some reason, Mrs. Zhong and Lu Qiong, who had always been indifferent to Lu Jing, suddenly had such an idea in their minds.
Even Mrs. Ning, who had just closed her eyes to rest her mind, opened her eyes and looked at Lu Jing carefully.
After a long time, Lu Jing finally explained what he meant.
"Therefore, in Lu Jing's view, the word "Zhongzheng" contains a lot. It is the fundamental and universal law of the universe. With Zhongzheng in the world, benevolence, justice, propriety and trustworthiness can all find their place, and the human spirit will become more prosperous...
Perhaps this is also what Taoism believes in the unity of nature and man. Confucianism and Taoism have different origins, but they have the same destination."
Lu Jing's voice fell.
You can hear a needle drop in the main hall.
Everyone in the hall knew a little about Zhongzheng, but they were surprised by Lu Jing's unique perspective.
Even those who don't usually like to read were surprised by the difference in Lu Jing at this time.
They all looked at Lu Jing in different ways.
A few breaths of time passed.
[After the auspicious sign is over, express what you have learned and thought directly, and let everyone in the pavilion look at you with admiration.]
[Obtained: Participate in the (red) destiny, a white opportunity. 】
Participate in research (red): When you participate in the study of classics, martial arts, techniques and other knowledge, your understanding ability will be improved.】
Lu Jing felt happy.
There was also a white light in my mind, which fell into the depths of my mind and disappeared.
His temperament is also deeper.
A few breaths of time passed.
Mrs. Zhong was about to speak.
Mrs. Ning, however, suddenly waved her hand: "It's a bit boring, even a woman like me can't understand it. Go on."
Lu Jing, who was standing in the center of the main hall, immediately bowed and saluted, stepped back a few steps, then turned around and strode away from Liuguang Water Pavilion.
"You guys can go down too."
Mrs. Zhong said to the other people in the hall: "Qiong'er, don't neglect your studies. You have to work hard on studying, riding, and shooting, and don't be careless with your sword. The master will be back in a few days, and I won't be able to do anything by then."
Test you."
Lu Qiong curled her lips and left sadly.
Before leaving, I didn't forget to take a few peeks at Shengzi.
But when Sheng Zi turned to look at him, Lu Qiong shrank his head, avoided her gaze, and hurried out of the waterside pavilion, as if he was very afraid of her.
"Yi'er, Miss Sheng's family is here. You and she are good friends. You should take her to play more these days and don't let her be bored."
Mrs. Ning, who only said one sentence from beginning to end, gave Lu Yi a rare serious warning when she saluted her gracefully and left.
Lu Yi rolled her eyes and said coquettishly: "Grandma, Sister Sheng likes Suxiangzhai's peach blossom cakes the most..."
"Mallow, go to Bingshe and get a box of peach blossom cakes."
...Everyone left completely.
From the inner hall of the waterside pavilion, another girl and an old woman walked out.
The girl's features are picturesque and graceful, she has a long sword at her waist, and she has a sharp aura about her body.
The old woman was very old, with wrinkles on her face and dull eyes.
They saluted Mrs. Ning and Mrs. Zhong.
Mrs. Ning, who had been lying lazily on the recliner, seemed to have suddenly recovered. She stood up, and with a smile, she invited the two of them to sit down and talk.
We talked for a long time.
The young girls and old women have all left.
Mrs. Zhong, who was looking out the window at the glazed pool, suddenly turned her head and said with a smile: "The old lady is blessed, and so is the Lu family. This Lu Jing is a good scholar."
The old lady's expression did not change: "Blessed? He is just the son of a sailor who came to collect debts, and now he has fallen into a lowly position."
When she said this, she couldn't help but sigh: "Uncle Shenxiao has a son-in-law with a low status, and I am ashamed of my ancestors...
This is not a blessing for the family, but a shame."
