In the early morning, Erlong Mountain was shrouded in clouds and mist, covering the entire mountain range.
From time to time, the melodious chirping of birds penetrated through the layers of clouds and entered the ears of the masters and scholars of Dangyang Academy. Everything on Erlong Mountain was so harmonious and peaceful, just like the pure land on earth.
A howl like a killing pig broke the tranquility of Dangyang Academy. Many scholars who had just woken up were frightened and looked curiously towards the source of the sound.
They all secretly wondered what happened to this colleague who screamed like this. Could it be that he was being manipulated by his roommate?
The singing of tea pickers floated faintly in front of the students, where the chrysanthemums were in full bloom.
Wen Renzheng hurriedly approved a robe and rushed out of the residence: "The earth dragon turned over? Where are the screams for no reason? Madam, Yun Shu, come out quickly, the house is going to collapse."
Liu Mingzhi patted the back of his head, which was suffering from a headache. The aftereffects of drunkenness made Liu Mingzhi know what it meant to be uncomfortable.
"Liu Song, Master, my drinking is completely fine, right? I didn't do anything outrageous when I was drunk, right? Did I say any nonsense that I shouldn't have said? Did I do a striptease? Did I go for a walk under the moon?"
Liu Song stood quietly in front of the window holding the washbasin, looking at Liu Mingzhi who looked suspicious of life: "Master? Don't you remember what you did?"
Liu Mingzhi slumped down: "It's over. With my great reputation, the scandal of walking a bird under the moon won't happen again, right?"
Hey, why do you say again? When I was in college, Liu Mingzhi and his roommates got very drunk at a party, and there was a scandal about walking birds under the moon, which caused a sensation on the campus, and was finally recorded as a major offense.
"Master, you fell asleep peacefully after you got drunk. Nothing happened. Don't worry, Master. I have prepared the toiletries. Please, Master."
Liu Mingzhi was slightly doubtful: "Is there really no moonlight for walking birds?"
"Master, you are really drunk. The parrots you raise are all taken care of by Ying'er in the house. Master, how can you have the opportunity to take a leisurely stroll under the moonlight and walk with birds?"
"That's good, that's good."
Liu Mingzhi took the mouthwash from the book boy's hand and took a sip.
"Master, if you want to walk with birds under the moonlight, Xiaosong can go down the mountain and buy two parrots for the young master to ensure that the young master can walk with birds under the moonlight comfortably when he is free."
Liu Song saw that the young master cared deeply about the bird issue and showed his loyalty in a timely manner.
Liu Mingzhi squirted out a mouthful of water and roared: "I want to walk away by myself, but the young master doesn't like this."
The school building was several hundred meters away from the school where the students studied. Liu Mingzhi, who suffered from frequent drunken sequelae, dragged his lazy body towards the school.
Dangyang College is divided into four schools: A, B, C and D. Liu Mingzhi looked at the ID card that Liu Song handed to him, Liu Mingzhi from class C.
Liu Mingzhi looked at his student ID card and complained: "Damn it, Sage Kong said that students should be taught in accordance with their aptitude. Isn't it discriminating against the young master by assigning him to the C class?"
When he arrived at the school with the word "C" hanging on it, Liu Mingzhi carefully compared it to confirm that it was correct before walking in.
There are already many students sitting in the school, all of them are meticulously reviewing the books on the table, each one shaking his head and reading the article silently.
"Hey, if you don't move your neck, are you afraid of getting spondylitis?" Liu Mingzhi muttered in a low voice.
He found a corner at random, opened the book and started reading. In less than a quarter of an hour, Liu Mingzhi was already drowsy. His forehead made constant contact with the desk several times, and finally he was under the influence of gravity.
Under the influence, I had close contact with the table.
"Students pay homage to Master Liu."
Master Liu put down the book in his hand and sat down on his knees, signaling the students to sit down on their own.
"A few days ago we talked about Confucius' saying: Living with good people is like entering a house of orchids. If you don't smell the fragrance for a long time, you will be transformed into them. Living with unkind people is like entering a house of abalones. After a long time you don't smell the smell.
, and it is also transformed into it. What is hidden in elixir is red, and what is hidden in lacquer is black, so a gentleman must be careful where he is. Do you all understand the meaning?"
"When I return to Master, the students have already understood the meaning."
Everyone replied in unison that such a loud noise did not wake up Liu Mingzhi, who was sleeping soundly.
Master Liu nodded with satisfaction: "In this way, children can be taught. Yan Huaian, please explain the meaning of this sentence."
Yan Huaian stood up when Master Liu called his name. Yan Huaian was about twenty years old. He was extremely elegant and wore a white robe elegantly on his body.
"Returning to Confucius' words, this statement comes from "Six Books of Confucius' Family Words"."
"Confucius said that making friends with people of high moral character is like living in a room where the fragrance of orchids has slowed down. After a long time, you will no longer smell the smell of orchids. This is because your own fragrance has been integrated with the fragrance of orchids.
Making friends with people of low moral character is like entering a shop that sells encounters. After a long time, you can no longer smell the smell of salted fish, because you have already merged with the smell of salted fish.
The place where cinnabar is hidden is red, and the place where paint is hidden is black, so a gentleman must choose friends with high moral character."
Master Liu looked at Yan Huaian and showed a satisfied smile: "Very good, very good. In seven or eight days, it will be no problem to enter Class B with your talents. Sit down first."
Yan Huaian saluted respectfully: "Thank you, Master, for teaching me."
Master Liu glanced at the people in front of him: "Qin Bin, how do you understand this sentence?"
Qin Bin, a young man in black clothes, stood up respectfully: "What I said in reply to Master, the student believes that this statement is similar to another sentence of Confucius."
"Oh?" Master Liu smiled meaningfully.
"If you are a person of three, you must have a teacher from me. Choose the good ones and follow them, and change the bad ones."
Master Liu nodded with satisfaction: "Qin Bin, please sit down too. What you all said is very good. Autumn is coming soon. I hope you can compete for Dangyang Academy. The first name of Jieyuan in the last session was actually lost."
Yishan Academy has been robbed, this matter has always been a thorn in the mountain leader's heart, please work hard."
"We will live up to the heavy responsibility of the mountain chief and the great trust of the master."
Master Liu opened the book and said: "Those who pretend to be benevolent with strength will dominate, and those who act benevolently with virtue will be kings. Today we will talk about Meng Sheng's remarks."
