Chapter 170 Don’t Do Bad Things
Chapter 170 Don’t Do Bad Things
Su Yu carefully put his ear closer to the master's door. There was indeed no sound from inside. He muttered to himself, "Is the master really not here?" Curiosity got the better of him, so he moved closer.
Suddenly, a cold and icy voice came, "What are you doing?" The defenseless Su Yu was frightened and trembled all over. It turned out that doing bad things is easy to be caught, hehe!!!
He turned around awkwardly, smiled awkwardly, and stammered to explain: "Master...Master, I just want to ask you if you have any other annotated versions. I have finished reading my copy of "The Great Learning"."
Su Yu felt that his explanation was a bit far-fetched and wondered if his master would believe it.
But the master opened the door without saying a word, entered the room and took out two books in a few seconds.
Su Yu took it respectfully, and when he saw that they were the "Doctrine of the Mean" and "Mencius" that he needed, he was immediately overjoyed. He hugged the rare book tightly, bowed to An Huo, and then said: "Thank you, Master. I will go to study now." With that, Su Yu ran away quickly.
There was some embarrassment, but more was joy.
Anhuo looked at his apprentice's hurried back and thought, he is not that scary.
What he doesn’t know is…, he has……HAHAHAHA!!!
Anhuo thought that this book was just given to him by his master yesterday when he mentioned Su Yu. Today he was so focused on training that he forgot to give it to his disciple. Fortunately, his disciple asked for it on his own initiative.
He is now more and more optimistic about his disciple Su Yu. After observing him for a period of time, he has always been undeterred in both martial arts practice and studying, and he trains very hard. He has never seen him complain of being tired, and he occasionally even practices extra on his own.
He didn't know that he was now looking at Su Yu with even more admiration.
After returning to the study, Su Yu couldn't wait to open one of the "The Doctrine of the Mean" books. The paper still had the same beautiful handwriting, and it was obvious that it was written by the same person.
Su Yu was actually quite curious. Who wrote these annotations? As the ancients said, a person's handwriting reflects his personality. This calligraphy was so majestic and powerful, the writer must have been no ordinary person. However, the master hadn't explained the origins of the book twice, perhaps because he didn't want to tell him. So, he hadn't asked.
I have to say that Su Yu’s analysis was correct.
He took a deep breath, exhaled, cleared his mind, sat down at the table and began to recite, "Confucius said: 'The gentleman is moderate, the villain is against moderation'."
"The gentleman's moderation is the gentleman who is moderate at all times. The villain's anti-moderation is the villain who is unscrupulous."
Confucius said: "A noble man follows the doctrine of the mean in his conduct, while a mean man often violates the doctrine of the mean in his conduct."
"A gentleman's words and deeds conform to the doctrine of the mean because he always grasps the principle of moderation in all matters and behaves with moderation. A villain deviates from the doctrine of the mean because he cannot restrain his words and deeds, and is subjective, arbitrary, without principles, and without scruples."
The sound of reading aloud came from the study...
When Su Yu put down the book, the sun was already at its highest point in the sky. It should be time for lunch, so Su Yu walked towards the flower hall.
He didn't see Xie An and his sister along the way, so he thought they were delivering goods to Carpenter Chen and Huangjinlou. Now that the toothpaste and toothbrush business was slowly getting on track, he left the other trivial matters to Xie An and his sister, which was a good opportunity to develop their abilities.
Perhaps only Su Yu could think of laziness in such a refreshing and refined way.
When Su Yu arrived at the flower hall, he saw his mother concentrating on making a pair of men's boots. The color seemed to match the clothes he wore last time. His mother had made several sets for him in the past few days, which really warmed his heart. It was great to have a mother.
And her younger sister Su Wanwan is still practicing the painting that only she can appreciate.
It was time for dinner, but Su Yu didn't see Xiaowu and Old Man Wang, so she looked around curiously.
Nanny Wang, who was standing behind Su's mother, watched the young master looking around. She asked, "Young master, are you looking for Old Man Wang and his family?"
Su Yu replied, "Yes, Nanny Wang, where is Old Man Wang? Did he go to the kitchen to help again?"
Nanny Wang said: "Old Man Wang and Wang San left early this morning, saying that they could no longer trouble the young master and the Su family. No matter how Madam tried to persuade them to stay, it was useless. They insisted on leaving. Alas," she sighed regretfully.
Su Yu said: "Let them be. When I have time, I will go to see them again. I like San'er very much."
Nanny Wang also said: "I like her very much too. She is small, fair and tender, and well-mannered. She doesn't make any noise every day and helps adults with things. She is really sensible."
When talking about this child, Su's mother also smiled gently and commented: "It is really cute."
Su Wanwan stopped painting. She looked at her brother expectantly and said, "Brother, can you take me to see San'er in the future?"
Seeing that everyone was captured by this little kid so quickly, Su Yu smiled gently and said, "Of course."
After spending these days together, Su Yu knew what kind of person Old Man Wang was.
After he woke up, every day he either snatched the maid Mingyue's work to help chop firewood, or went to the kitchen to help. Su Yu stopped him several times and told him to go back to his room and lie down quietly.
Old Man Wang agreed on the surface, but secretly did the work when Su Yu wasn't paying attention. When he was caught, he said that he couldn't let the Su family spend money on his medical treatment in vain, so he worked in exchange for his work. Su Yu really had no choice but to let him do some lighter work such as picking vegetables.
The result was that he was picking vegetables, and his little tail Wang San followed him to pick vegetables. With the addition of a little kid at home, the family suddenly became more lively, especially his sister, who loved to tease the child.
Su Yu felt that Old Man Wang was a typical honest man who didn't want to trouble others. Perhaps he took Wang San away with him as soon as he was able to walk long distances.
Su Yu had no doubts about his master not being at the dinner table. Except for the few days when his master first came to his house and had lunch with them, his master would teach them martial arts and then return to the escort agency.
I don’t know when it started, but the master started packing lunch every day to eat at the escort agency, and later he even packed dinner as well.
Even at the end, the master prepared his own ingredients and brought meals to his fellow apprentices in the escort agency. Su Yu knew all this and tacitly agreed to Aunt Fang's special meal for the master. It seemed that his master had a similar taste to his, both of them loved spicy food. Fortunately, he also planted a chili tree in his space, and it was growing well, otherwise there would not be enough to eat.
Hehe!!! When Su Yu thought of this, he thought of hot pot. He didn't know if there were spices in this era. If he made hot pot, maybe the master would be happy with it and would teach him Qinggong sooner.
He was thinking about his dream of flying and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Everyone looked at Su Yu, and his sister Su Wanwan said: "Brother, what are you laughing at?"
Su Yu said mysteriously: "Keep it secret."
This made Su Wanwan very anxious. She stomped her feet, rushed to Su's mother, and said coquettishly: "Mom, look at my brother."
Su's mother smiled helplessly and said, "Stop making trouble and serve the food."
Then the whole family ate and drank while talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
