Confucian and Taoist scholar

Two days later.

Several scholars of the Qin family came outside the gate of Du Ning's mansion. The head of the family, Qin Wenxu, was naked and carrying thorn sticks on his back. He said in a voice like a bell: "I, the head of the Qin family, Qin Wenxu, came here today to apologize to Mr. Yunqi and ask Du Jun to forgive me."

Forgive me, a scholar of the Qin family, for the sins I have committed."

After finishing speaking, he knelt down on his right knee and lowered his head. The other Qin family members also half-knelt on the ground.

Qin Wenxu had long announced that he would come to Kongcheng to plead guilty to Du Ning, so when the Qin family arrived in Kongcheng, it immediately attracted the attention of many scholars.

And as Qin Wenxu apologized, the onlookers spread the news, and in just a moment, there was a sea of ​​people.

"The head of the Qin family actually came to ask for forgiveness. It can be seen that the Qin family sincerely apologized to Yun Qijun, unlike the scholars of the Ke family of Liao Dynasty. This is really chilling!"

"That's right! The Ke family is also a semi-saint family of Zeng and Jin. They did something wrong but didn't have the courage to apologize. The Ke family is really in decline in this generation."

"Who are the Ke family? How many things have they done to disgrace Yun Qijun? From now on, I wonder who else in the world will think highly of the Ke family."

"I heard that many families who have a good relationship with the Ke family have drawn a clear line with the Ke family in time. The Ke family has become a lost cause. If you dare to make mistakes again, you will definitely be deprived of the name of the family."

"The head of the Qin family is still aware of current affairs and knows how to apologize to Lord Yunqi in time. As long as he can resolve his grievances with Lord Yunqi, the Qin family can restore most of its reputation."

There was a lot of discussion among the crowd, pointing at the scholars of the Qin family.

Suddenly, he heard a "squeak" sound and the door opened. Du Ning walked out and saw that Qin Wenxu had really come to plead guilty. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Gentlemen, what are you doing? Please get up quickly."

While saying this, he helped Qin Wenxu up.

Qin Wenxu looked at Du Ning and said: "Du Jun, our Qin family is guilty, we are guilty! All of this is due to my incompetent discipline as the head of the family. I did not teach cousin Wen Wei well, so that he committed such a crime.

This sin is a disgrace to our ancestors. Today, I, Qin Wenxu, come here to apologize to you, hoping to gain your forgiveness."

"Please forgive me, Mr. Du."

The other Qin family members spoke in unison, and on the surface they all looked like they were sincerely apologizing.

Du Ning said hurriedly: "The leader of the Qin family is serious. Mr. Qin Wenwei and Ke Changyu are brothers and sisters. It was only because they had some misunderstandings with me in the ancient land that they testified for Ke Changzhang in court.

Du understands his feelings. Now if the misunderstanding is opened, it will be fine. Master Qin must never do this."

After finishing speaking, he helped Qin Wenxu take off the thorns from his body.

Qin Wenxu remained calm, while the other Qin family members raised the corners of their mouths, showing deep contempt and disdain. They looked at Du Ning with such undisguised expressions that they almost laughed out loud.

As long as they can find some flaws, even just a little one, they can ruin Du Ning's reputation.

Du Ning is so smart, but for a moment he made such a ridiculous mistake in public. He is really looking for death!

"Haha... Arrogant! Presumptuous! How dare a mere bachelor to annotate the words of the Asiatic Saint? Who do you think you are?"

A Qin family scholar laughed directly and looked at Du Ning without scruple. This attitude and momentum were completely different from the sincere apology just now.

At this moment, no one thought that the Qin family had done something wrong, because Du Ning was really impudent in annotating Yasheng's words, not to mention that it was in public, and if he was not careful, Du Ning would not be able to keep his position as the Wenjun.<

/p>

The other Qin family members were extremely excited and thought that this was a great opportunity to teach Du Ning a lesson, so they began to think about the loopholes in the eight words "if there is something, correct it, if there is nothing, encourage it".

Qin Wenxu was also racking his brains to think about the meaning of these eight words, hoping to give Du Ning a fatal blow.

However, the more these people think about it, the more they feel that these eight words contain profound truths and make people feel impeccable.

"These eight words are actually the most true and the most reasonable, consistent with the holy way!"

Qin Wenxu felt his Wen Dan and Wen Gong tremble violently, his back was instantly soaked in cold sweat, and he hurriedly stopped denying these eight words.

The smiles of the other Qin family members also froze there, with expressions of disbelief, and then quickly turned into panic.

"Impossible! How come the more I think about it, the more I agree with these eight words? Ridiculous!"

"Presumptuous! Presumptuous! Presumptuous! A mere bachelor can actually annotate the words of the Ya Sheng!"

"Du Ning actually has such literary talent, how could he be like this!"

The scholars of the Qin family broke out in cold sweat, especially the Qin family's senior scholar who had just mocked Du Ning. His face was red, and he felt as if he had been slapped by what he said, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl in.

p>

This is so embarrassing!

"Change it if you have it, and encourage it if you don't have it, good! You are worthy of being Du Jun! These eight words are really wise!"

"I really didn't expect Du Jun to be able to annotate Yasheng's words. It will be published on the front pages of "Kongcheng Wenbao" and "Zhuguo Wenbao" tomorrow!"

"It is gratifying and congratulating to use the position of a great scholar to annotate the words of the Asiatic Sage! What a gratifying congratulation!"

The scholars from various countries who were watching all showed joy on their faces, and then they all looked at the Qin family with cold eyes.

There is no doubt that with the ridicule of Du Ning by the great scholar of the Qin family, it seems that Qin Wenxu's sincerity in taking the blame this time has disappeared. Everyone can see that the Qin family is only showing sincerity and is not convinced. As long as they can seize the opportunity,

They will use any means necessary to attack Du Ning’s literary reputation.

Many scholars secretly speculated that Du Ning deliberately said the eight-character annotation to make the Qin family think they had seized the opportunity to fight back against Du Ning, which led to the scene where the Qin family's great scholar mocked Du Ning just now.

"I'm just telling you! How can the Qin family sincerely apologize to Mr. Yun Qi?"

"Jun Yunqi tested them at will, and they immediately showed their flaws."

"The excitement today is really beautiful!"

Many people spoke angrily, making Qin Wenxu's expression very ugly. He had no shame today and came to apologize to Du Ning. If everyone thought that his apology was not sincere, then his behavior of asking for forgiveness today would become the whole story.

A joke in the literary world.

At this moment, the great scholar of the Qin family who had ridiculed Du Ning had already regretted it. If he had known that Du Ning could really interpret Ya Sheng's words, he should not have jumped out to ridicule Du Ning, so that the Qin family

The current situation is extremely embarrassing.

Qin Wenxu suddenly looked angry, walked up to the Qin family's great scholar, and slapped him hard with a "pop" sound.

"You are so brave. You dare to speak rudely to Mr. Yunqi. Who are you to dare to question Mr. Yunqi?" Qin Wenxu shouted loudly.

Many people still sneered secretly. If Qin Wenxu was really so righteous, Ling Ran should have stood up and slapped him as punishment when the other party mocked Du Ning. It turned out that Qin Wenxu was trying to refute Du Ning's horoscope annotation and failed.

, it seemed too hypocritical to attack the Qin family’s bachelor in anger.

Qin Wenxu knew that it would be useless to do so, but with so many people here watching, even if it was a fake trick, he had to grit his teeth and persevere, at least on the surface, he still had to show absolute sincerity, otherwise it would be easy for others to leave him.

Make bad topics and handles.

"Master, please calm down. Master, please calm down. I was reckless and spoke recklessly. Please forgive me, Master."

The other party hurriedly apologized, naturally knowing that Qin Wenxu was doing it for scholars from all over the world to watch, but being slapped in the face in public was simply a great shame and humiliation!

"Since you know you were wrong, why don't you apologize to Lord Yunqi quickly!" Qin Wenxu said angrily.

"Yes, yes."

The other party hurriedly bowed to Du Ning and said: "I have offended Du Jun by saying something, and I ask Du Jun to forgive me."

Du Ning looked at the great scholar of the Qin family and said indifferently: "If you use the excuse of apologizing to speak rudely, the following offense will be punished with an additional penalty..."

The faces of the Qin family changed drastically. They could attack Du Ning by any means, and Du Ning could naturally seize this misunderstanding to fight back against the Qin family, making all of them look nervous.

"But this is just a misunderstanding after all. For the sake of the Qin family leader, I will slap you three times as a punishment."

"You..."

The great scholar of the Qin family glared at Du Ning and asked him to slap him in public. Isn't this a slap in the face, a slap in the face of the Qin family?

The rest of the Qin family gritted their teeth. As the saying goes, you can't hit someone with a smiling face. Today they came to apologize again, but they were slapped by Du Ning as punishment. If this incident spreads, scholars from all over the world will definitely think that they are pretentious.

I didn't come here to sincerely apologize to Du Ning at all, but I had no choice but to not come and apologize in order to protect the reputation of the Qin family.

In this way, the Qin family seems a bit hypocritical in front of scholars from other countries.

"What? You can't do it yourself? Do you want me to help you?"

Du Ning looked at the other party with extremely cold eyes and his tone was unquestionable.

The great scholar of the Qin family knew that Du Ning was deliberately humiliating him, but he was speechless and couldn't say a word to refute, feeling extremely aggrieved in his heart.

And after hearing that Du Ning was going to do it himself, the Qin family's bachelor was even more furious. They all slapped him three times. It would be a bit embarrassing to slap him on his own, but it would be even more humiliating if he was slapped three times by Du Ning.

things.

Therefore, the Grand Scholar of the Qin family could only grit his teeth, hold his hands in front of Du Ning and say, "I will accept my punishment."

"Pah! Pah! Pah!"

The great scholar of the Qin family slapped himself three times, and secretly cursed himself for not being so quick-spoken that Du Ning took the opportunity to humiliate him. There were so many people watching today, and it would definitely be spread by scholars from all over the world and become a laughing stock after dinner.

, and Du Ning's eight words "If there is something, correct it, if there is nothing, encourage it" will become a good saying among scholars in various countries.

"Only three slaps are considered light. If I had slapped him ten times, I would have slapped him ten times."

"That's right, what is the trouble coming from the mouth? This is it!"

"Watch your mouth. If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb."

The onlookers pointed and pointed, making the great scholar of the Qin family even more ashamed and angry.
