Chapter 346 Don’t tell the truth

Gu Mingda said: "What books has Miss Li read?"

Miss Li San originally wanted to resist Gu Mingda by being uncooperative, but now that she was stuffed with the "Three Character Classic", she did not dare to continue, but answered honestly.

Gu Mingda nodded casually and did not ask her what she wanted to learn. Instead, he went back to the front and said, "You all have teachers at home. You are not just a child entering school. There is no need to prepare additional books for enlightenment."

"What I want to teach is the way to be a human being. Whatever knowledge you want to learn, you can find the answer from the way to be a human being."

After hearing these words, Shen Ling knew that he had come to the right place.

But Gu Mingda continued: "Using people as a mirror can help us understand gains and losses. The first article we are going to read today is "Zuo Zhuan". Reading "Zuo Zhuan" begins with "Zheng Bo Duan Yu Yan"."

Shen Ling wanted to say that she had read this article.

But she also wanted to see if there were many details in Gu Mingda's explanation that she had not noticed.

Gu Mingda first explained the entire article without any emotional bias.

Except for Shen Ling and Niu Niu, the other little girls present had not yet reached this point in their studies. Gu Mingda was also very good at telling stories, so the little girls were naturally fascinated by it.

""Zheng Beike Duan Yu Yan", what can you see from this story? Qin Jingshu, you come first." Gu Mingda was the first to name Qin Jingshu, who was sitting on the left of Niu Niu.

Qin Jingshu stood up. After what had happened before, the little girl was no longer frightened. After thinking for a moment, she said:

"Uncle Gong Duan's fate was all due to his mother Wu Jiang's partiality, which overly favored her younger son, which made the eldest son Zheng Bo feel resentful. Parents should not favor one child over another based on personal preferences."

When Qin Jingshu said these words, she couldn't help but feel sorry for herself.

Gu Mingda nodded and asked Qin Jingshu to sit down, and then called her name: "Gu Xi, tell me."

Niu Niu stood up and said in a crisp voice: "The last time I heard this story, I only blamed my mother for being partial. Now that I hear it again, I can't help but think that Gongshu Duan is also at fault. He relied on his mother's favoritism, unscrupulously and without any reflection. ”

Gu Mingda still didn't comment and named the next person.

In this kind of roll call, the person in front actually has an advantage because they can say more.

Even though Gu Mingda's attitude has always been very open-minded, as the names were called one after another, the little girls couldn't help but feel that this was a random assessment, and they couldn't help but become nervous.

When it was Song Miaomiao's turn, the little girl was so anxious that she stumbled and said, "I...I really don't know what to say. They have finished everything I want to say."

Someone in the class chuckled.

Gu Mingda patiently comforted him: "So you agree with the views of the classmates in front of you, right?"

Song Miaomiao nodded.

Gu Mingda said: "It's okay, just sit down. Repeating it with others can only show that you are of the same mind, but it does not mean that you don't think seriously."

Gu Mingda's comfort made Song Miaomiao very relieved. After all, this teacher seemed really likable, and Song Miaomiao didn't want Gu Mingda to think that she was careless.

Gu Mingda ordered the next little girl.

But Chen Yuanxian obviously thought deeply about this story, and said: "Uncle Zheng first said harsh words, and then forgave his mother. This is a change of fate. We must think twice about what we say and do in the future, and try not to say anything to avoid regrets in the future." Niu Niu. Turning around, he looked at Chen Yuanxian who was speaking with bright eyes, and whispered: "Sister Chen is so amazing, she can think of things that others can't think of."

Gu Mingda also showed approval on his face and said: "The fact that you can think of this shows that you are an extremely careful person. You will not say anything and will not be heartbroken, so that you can have room for recovery in the future."

Listening to Gu Mingda's praise, Chen Yuanxian couldn't help but curl up the corners of her mouth.

Next it was Miss Li San's turn. If Chen Yuanxian's pearls were not in front, she might be able to fool her by just answering the questions behind Song Miaomiao and saying "I think the same".

But Miss Li San is a strong person, and she has always felt that among so many people present, she and Shen Ling are the only real noble ladies. Privately, she even feels that Shen Ling is not as good as her.

Chen Yuanxian suddenly appeared, and Miss Li San was naturally not willing to be compared. She racked her brains and really caught something.

"Although Gongshu Duan was at fault first, Uncle Zheng killed Gongshu Duan to death, and in the end he lost his brother's benevolence and righteousness." Miss Li San said in a serious tone.

Before Gu Mingda could say anything, someone couldn't help but feel sorry for Uncle Zheng.

"Uncle Gong Duan is pushing himself too far. It's all his own fault that he ended up like that. How can Uncle Zheng be a good brother? Why not give him the throne?" Shen Ling retorted loudly.

Miss Li San said: "They are brothers from the same mother. The older one should naturally care for the younger one."

Shen Ling argued: "The eldest brother takes care of the younger brother, and the younger brother should also respect the elder brother. Brothers, friends, and younger brothers are respectful, both are indispensable."

Miss Li San couldn't help Shen Ling for a moment, but turned around and reluctantly wanted Gu Mingda to be the referee.

Gu Mingda said: "Historical stories are like a mirror. Everyone can see a different look when they look in."

"These appearances all come from our hearts. What kind of person we are can be determined by what kind of appearance we see in the mirror. Right and wrong should not be judged by me, an outsider, but all depends on what you agree with in your heart. What."

Gu Mingda's words stunned both of them.

After Shen Ling's expression changed for a moment, he said, "I stick to my opinion."

Miss Li San felt very awkward, but she didn't know where the awkwardness came from. She could only hold her neck and said: "I will not change my ambition."

After listening to everyone's opinions, Gu Mingda concluded: "Uncle Zheng's whole story is only 500 words long. In these 500 words, some people see that the eldest son has been abolished and the younger ones are established, some people see that the mother is biased, some people see that the brother is kind, and some people think that Uncle Zheng is deliberately Indulgence...Words are just words after all. What you can see and what you can learn from them are all decided by people."

Others have not yet realized the weight of these words. Shen Ling, who is sitting at the back, is the oldest and is thinking the most deeply.

She just felt that Gu Mingda was not teaching this story, but teaching them how to behave.

Gu Mingda continued to tell the next story.

I had an hour-long class today and only told two stories from "Zuo Zhuan". When Gu Mingda announced that get out of class was over, many students had not yet recovered.

Time passed so fast, they actually felt that it was faster than when they were playing. Gu Mingda's class was not boring at all. If possible, they would even want to keep listening to stories in class.

Gu Mingda wanted to leave Niu Niu alone to say a few words, but in a blink of an eye, he saw a bright yellow corner of clothes outside the room.

"Zheng Beke Duan Yu Yan" is a famous chapter in "The Biography of the Zuo Family in the Spring and Autumn Period", written by Zuo Qiuming. It mainly tells the story of a life-and-death struggle between Zheng Zhuanggong and his brother Gongshu Duan in the first year of Lu Yin (722 BC) to seize the throne of the king. Duke Zhuang of Zheng designed and deliberately indulged his younger brother Gongshu Duan and his mother Wu Jiang. His younger brother was arrogant and wanted to seize the throne. Duke Zhuang used this to attack Gongshu Duan. Duke Zhuang complained that his mother was partial and moved her to Yingdi. Later, he regretted it, and Uncle Yingkao persuaded him, and mother and son reconciled.
