Rebirth as an official

"I thought, Xu Kai, that you would quote "The Nature of Food and Sex" in "Mencius", but I didn't expect that you would quote "Liyun" from "Three Rites"." Li An replied calmly.

"Gaozi's phrase 'food and sex are also' has been used too much, and it's a bit bad." Xu Kai introduced the person "Gaozi" again.

"But the most classic sentence from Gaozi is the following sentence: Ren is internal, not external. Yi is external, not internal. It is indeed a Confucian classic." Li An's answer was also perfect.

"It turns out that Brother Li also studies Confucianism."

"Each each other."

The two looked at each other and smiled, but there was a hint of appreciation for Li An in Xu Kai's eyes.

Chen Shanhe, who was sitting between the two of them, could hear their conversation clearly.

His eyes were not only shocked but also weird.

He is also a top student at Jinling University and has been exposed to the Four Books and Five Classics, but only the knowledge taught in textbooks.

He knew both "eating and drinking, men and women" and "eating and sex", but it was very difficult to tell the specific origin in complete detail, which would require a certain amount of cultural reserve, at least he didn't know.

He remembered that Li An majored in architecture, and that Xu Kai graduated from a medical university and was a college student who came to "support medicine".

Two people with backgrounds in science and engineering are chatting about "Confucian" classics here. They look like old academics, which is a bit weird.

"Then where does the word "see no evil" come from? A pleasant girl's voice sounded.

The three of them kept their heads down and chatted, not realizing that Yang Mengmeng had walked beside them.

Yang Mengmeng was seen looking at them with burning eyes, and there seemed to be some anger in her eyes.

"Then where does the phrase "see no evil" come from?" The pleasant voice sounded again.

It was obvious that the conversation between Li An and Xu Kai just now was overheard by this girl, who came here to investigate.

This "don't look at anything inappropriate" was obviously directed at Xu Kai. It should have been his words about "eating and drinking, men and women" that had offended her, but it seemed that Li An's "eating, sex, and sex" were not much better.

Li An also noticed something was wrong. The conversation between the two of them just now seemed to be teasing the girl.

It's okay if you can't hear it, but it would be a bit embarrassing if the girl heard it.

However, this girl's ears are very good, and their voices are not very loud.

Li An was very depressed, and his brain was spinning rapidly at this moment, thinking about how to resolve this embarrassment.

"This is what Confucius said in the original text of "The Analects of Confucius·Yan Yuan No. 12". Confucius said: Do not look at anything that is not propitious, do not hear anything that is not propitious, do not speak anything that is not propitious, and do not move anything that is not propitious."

Xu Kai spoke, and Li An was a little confused because this new friend looked at the girl with a slightly provocative look.

"Classmate Xu Kai, have you done it?" The girl obviously knew Xu Kai, and this question was very targeted.

"Classmate Yang Mengmeng, the translation of Confucius' words is, don't look at what you shouldn't see, don't listen to what you shouldn't hear, don't say what you shouldn't say, don't do what you shouldn't do. Is there anything dirty here? Where is it? Why didn't I see it?" Xu Kai pretended to look around.

"You are such a fucking genius." Li An shouted in his heart.

He would have almost believed it if he hadn't read the annotation for "See no evil".

The original meaning is: do not read things that are not in line with etiquette, do not listen to information that is not in line with etiquette, do not say things that are not in line with etiquette, and do not do things that are not in line with etiquette.

"You are being unreasonable." Yang Mengmeng became even more angry when Xu Kai provoked her, and her delicate little face turned red.

"Please stop saying a few words. It's unethical for you to be so angry with a girl." Li An was a little dumbfounded.

"It's okay. Yang Mengmeng often said that she is a female gentleman. Confucius also said: A gentleman is not angry."

A gentleman is not angry?It's just a gentleman's fault.

"..." Li An was speechless for a while, that's how a gentleman explained it.

This dear friend understands that Confucian classics do not follow the usual path.

"Xu Kai, you, you." Yang Mengmeng pointed at Xu Kai and was so angry that she couldn't speak.

Although the two people knew each other, Li An felt that he still had to smooth things over. After all, he was also a participant.

He quickly stood up and said apologetically to Yang Mengmeng: "Classmate Yang Mengmeng, I'm sorry. I unintentionally offended you when I was chatting with Xu Kai just now. I apologize to you here."

After Li An finished speaking, he bowed slightly to Yang Mengmeng to apologize.

Yang Mengmeng looked at the boy in front of her, her eyes full of curiosity.

His skin is somewhat dark, his beard is clean shaven, and he looks quite decent in his clothes, giving him a refreshing feeling.

I noticed this Li An just now. He is different from the other boys here.

When she first entered the room, the other boys were immediately attracted to her after seeing her appearance. The eyes of these young boys were full of passion.

The girl has long been accustomed to the looks in the eyes of these men, and she is no longer surprised.

In recent years, whenever she appears in public, she has always attracted the attention of most men, and those glances that come her way contain a variety of emotions.

Some of these people's gazes are subtle, some are direct, but in the end, they all fall on themselves involuntarily.

The same goes for the boys in the box now, but Li An is a little out of place.

After seeing him, his eyes only stayed for a moment and then retracted, as if he were looking at an ordinary person.

At first, the girl thought he was shy or deliberately not looking, but as time went by, he noticed that the boy was really not interested in him.

The girl has seen countless people, and she can feel that this boy really has no interest in her. It is not because he is shy or timid. He wants to see but dare not look. He pretends to be indifferent and secretly glances at her with his peripheral vision.

This boy's eyes were deep, his expression was calm, and he looked like he was not surprised. He just glanced at himself from beginning to end, and never paid attention to himself again.

The little gesture he made just now by bumping the friend next to him with his elbow to remind him did not escape the girl's eyes.

But what surprised him the most was that Xu Kai, who had always been indifferent to outsiders, actually had a heated fight with this Li An.

If you didn't know better about the communication between their eyes, expressions, and movements, you would have thought they were close friends who have known each other for many years.

The most irritating thing is that he actually made fun of himself, and then he walked over to question Xu Kai.

"I wonder if classmate Xu Mengmeng can accept my apology." Li An said again.

He felt that the girl seemed a little distracted, and he was still bending over. This posture was very uncomfortable.

Li An's apology was sincere, and he felt like a humble gentleman, and most of his anger was gone.

"Xu Kai, look at Li An, and then look at you." She rolled her eyes at Xu Kai, and then said to Li An:

"Li An, Xu Kai is not a good person. Be careful when making friends." After Yang Mengmeng said this, she turned around and returned to her seat.

Li An smiled bitterly and shook his head. It was obvious that the relationship between the two was unusual.

The conversation between Xu Kai and Yang Mengmeng naturally attracted the attention of other boys present, and they all cast envious glances at Li An.

Shi Maoxue seemed to have gotten used to it, so he just laughed it off and whispered something to Yang Mengmeng, which made the girl look shy.

At the beginning of the wine party, everyone present naturally followed Shi Maoxue like stars holding the moon, surrounding him.

The college students present toasted to Shi Maoxue and said some compliments.

Li An toasted politely and returned to his seat without deliberately participating.

As the banquet progressed, Li An realized that there was something unusual about this dinner party. Every college student participating had a different background.
