Someone with sensitive hearing because of his inner strength would not be able to pretend he didn't hear those private discussions.

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

Although Gu Jingyun's hearing ability is not as good as Li Baolu's, but his eyes are not blind, he has seen the strange eyes of everyone, especially when Li Baolu took his hand, the eyeballs of those scholars almost popped out.

Li Baolu left aside the disgraceful voice that came from behind, and dragged Gu Jingyun to go shopping, Shall I buy you some books?

And then throw it away? We have so much money? Gu Jingyun looked around, and said, Look at the bookstore in Jiada to see if there are any scriptures for candidates in the past. Uncle said that you can learn from others' work to make up for your weaknesses.

The two wandered around and found a place that sold calligraphy and paintings, pens, inks, papers and inkstones and other cultural items half of the street.

There are test baskets for one base and one base outside the store here, obviously for the government test preparation.

Because the exam was approaching, there were many people on the street, most of them were wearing Confucian shirts, and they were not noisy when they came and went, most of them lowered their voices to discuss.

Gu Jingyun liked the atmosphere very much, nodded and said, Let's find a bigger bookstore and go in.

When buying books, especially the ones that have just been published, one has to look through them first before deciding whether to buy them. Gu Jingyun reads books very quickly. Just write it down once.

Probably because he didn't agree with the point of view in the scriptures, his brows were furrowed, and Li Baolu, who was familiar with him, even sensed the disdain in his heart.

She stood next to him for a while, then looked at the bookshelf beside him, and looked for books she was interested in.

The scholars walking past this row of bookshelves looked up at Li Baolu in surprise when they saw Li Baolu. Some of them only glanced curiously, then looked away with red ears, took the books they wanted and left in a hurry, and some The person gave her a disdainful and disgusted look, avoiding her as if she was a dirty thing.

Li Baolu: ...

Li Baolu became angry, and simply took a book and strolled over to those people who hated her and avoided her. They were only three steps away. Those people were obviously startled by her, and they walked away with flushed faces. It's 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. Hmph, I'm telling you to look down on people!

As soon as she turned her head and met a pair of eyes, Li Baolu was startled, and jumped back, but landed without a sound.

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 all weird?

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 it is I found a roll of good things, let's go.

The good thing that Gu Jingyun said was an outdated imperial palace newspaper.

Dibao generally records new policies issued by the imperial court, or disasters that occurred in various places, and there are also articles praised by the emperor, or new opinions expressed by the cabinet and various Confucian scholars on the government affairs, which of course are officially approved opinions.

Only officials at all levels, government schools, and retired officials can get a copy of the residence newspaper every ten days. Among them, retired officials are considered to be above the fifth rank by default, so the residence newspaper is not popular among the people, and it is really difficult to find it. .

No one dared to publish the mansion newspaper privately. Gu Jingyun just turned to an article, and because of the strangeness of the arguments, he was so angry. thing.

In order to prevent moisture, the bookshelves next to the floor will not store new books for sale, but books that have been collected from the outside and confirmed to be of low value.

When it is recovered, it is based on the price of scrap products, and it is not expensive to sell.

Gu Jingyun handed over the seized volume of mansion newspaper to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper flipped through the pages and said, This is last year's and the year before last's mansion newspaper. Each copy is ten coins. This is a total of twenty-three copies, a total of two hundred and thirty coins.

Li Baolu hurriedly took out the money to settle the bill, but Gu Jingyun casually asked, Can the residence newspaper still be sold? I thought it would all be stored away.

The shopkeeper glanced at him and said, There is always a house that has fallen.

He took the money, only to find out that Li Baolu was a girl, he couldn't help but frowned and said, Why 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, you should leave the maidservant at home next time. Bringing a woman here is simply insulting the saint. Site.

Not to mention Li Baolu's stunned and stiff body, even Gu Jingyun opened his mouth wide in astonishment, and asked confusedly after a while: Women are not allowed to enter bookstores? What is this saying?

Seeing that Gu Jingyun was really dazed and confused, the shopkeeper was in a better mood. He glanced at Li Baolu disdainfully and said, Women are supposed to stay at home and take care of their husbands and children. How is it proper to walk outside like this?

Li Baolu endured it, but she couldn't, she tilted her head and looked at him innocently, So you look down on women, so isn't your mother a woman?

She glanced up and down 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, It's just that women and villains are hard to raise, and the sage will never deceive me.

Gu Jingyun quickly rolled up the residence newspaper and put it in his arms. Sure enough, Li Baolu said contemptuously: Don't insult the saint, The Analects is five years old, and five-year-old children know the meaning of this sentence. Directly translating 'women' into women is also a different kind of skill.

Sage Kong's reputation was ruined by you. Why did he look down on women? He lost his father at the age of three and was raised by his mother. If he looked down on women again, he would not be able to be called a saint. King Wu of Zhou had a female minister , Kong Shengren still praised her 'it's hard, unexpected? At the time of Tang Yu, Yu Si was prosperous, there were women, and there were only nine people.' Li Baolu looked at the shopkeeper with a face full of sarcasm and said: You brag Confucian descendants, but run counter to the original intention of the patriarch's thought, I think you are not Confucian scholars, but enemies of Confucianism?

When it comes to quarreling, Li Baolu may not be as good as a scholar who is known for his verbal quarrels, but she fundamentally doubts you, so don't blame her for your lack of knowledge.

Li Baolu asked mockingly: Shopkeeper, there is one thing that my little girl doesn't understand all the time. Confucianism advocates filial piety to rule the world. This kind of filial piety is for the father, and naturally it is also for the mother. But if the Confucianism looks down on women and tramples them under their feet Now, what kind of attitude should you have towards your own mother? Let me ask again, if your mother comes to the bookstore, will you also point her nose and drive her out?

What a big face, Li Baolu's face darkened 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 and not raise a son, lest the son I teach look down on me!

The shopkeeper was so angry that his lips trembled, and he shook his fingers and said angrily: You, you, you misinterpreted my meaning, I, I...

It was still a scholar who couldn't see it, stepped forward and stopped among the three of them, without looking at Li Baolu, and directly saluted Gu Jingyun: My lord, let's restrain some maidservants, even if the shopkeeper has been taught a lesson, we all know Yang Yang It’s just that people in the world use this sentence in this way, so it’s not a misinterpretation of 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 Zigong and other disciples, saying that they are you guys are as bad as children, not insulting women. But no one knows when this saying has changed its flavor. Even scholars know its meaning, and after hearing it too much, they forget the original meaning.

This is similar to modern Internet slang, which gives an existing word a completely different meaning and becomes popular.

But what Li Baolu cares about is not the meaning of this sentence, but what everyone cares about is the disdainful attitude towards women. Even now, most of the scholars in the bookstore glared at Li Baolu, thinking that she made a big fuss by grabbing a sentence, but for the shopkeeper, they just thought he read books. It just doesn't make sense, and I don't think there is anything wrong with him looking down on women.

Even after Li Baolu questioned him.

Li Baolu glanced at the scholar who couldn't grasp the point, exhaled deeply, and apologized solemnly to the shopkeeper: The shopkeeper, it's my fault, this is not your fault, how can I blame you?

Everyone was stunned by this divine development. This maid was aggressive just now, why is she subdued now?

Some people also looked at Gu Jingyun, thinking that she was probably afraid of being blamed by her master.

However, Gu Jingyun's complexion was gloomy, and he pulled Li Baolu behind him, and said solemnly to the scholar standing in front of him: You are so polite, brother, but this is not my maid, she is my wife. Second, the words of a sage are rare, since If you call yourself a student of Confucianism, then you should treat it respectfully, why do you make fun of the sage’s words? Thirdly, Madam is annoyed not only because the world abuses the sage’s words, but also because the world misinterprets the meaning of the sage.”

Gu Jingyun sighed: The sage's preaching and teaching is to let future generations inherit his will and create a prosperous world of great harmony, but we worship him as our ancestor, but run counter to him, and use his words to do such dirty things, Gu is ashamed Master's teachings, I am even more ashamed of reading the sage books for many years.

After saying that, she pulled Li Baolu away with shame on her face.

The scholars in the bookstore all felt blocked, as if a stone had been pressed on their hearts. Yes, the sage said it was not like this, but they misinterpreted the sage's meaning and justified it. This kind of disloyalty and unfilial behavior What face do they have to face the patriarch?

Some have even considered that we learn the sage's words to gain knowledge and then sell them to the emperor's family, to honor our ancestors and protect our descendants, but is that all?

Who doesn't want to make meritorious deeds, be a person who is beneficial to the people, contributes to the country, and lives forever?

Just like Confucius, but they only study in a daze, without even thinking about the original intention of Confucius, how can they be such people?

Could it be that they are satisfied with just being a bureaucrat after obtaining fame and fame?
