Li Zan was speechless after hearing this.

He smiled and shook his head, saying, "There is a saying that the more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to lie. I used to disagree with it, but after meeting Miss Lin, I deeply agree with it."

Lin Qianqian just smiled after hearing this and didn't take it to heart.

She stretched out her white hands, picked up the Mengshan nectar that had been cooked on the stove, poured three cups into the white and jade-smooth Ru kiln teacups, and handed the first cup to him respectfully.

Li Zan was stunned for a moment, then he thanked him and calmly took it. After taking a bite, he looked at Gu Huai and said, "By the way, Prince, when are we going back to Beijing?"

Gu Huai put his arm around Lin Qianqian's waist and asked her to sit on his lap. "Stay for two more days."

"But if you're in a hurry, you can go back first."

"Could it be that the prince has something else to do here?" Li Zan raised his eyes and looked at the person in front of him curiously.

Gu Huai looked at Lin Qianqian, "I'm fine, but she has something to do. She said she wanted to take me to see the man she had a "scandal" with, the man you said she seduced. I also want to see who he is."

"Oh——" Li Zan drew out the ending of the "Oh", a smile appeared on his face, and the gossipy heart in his heart was also ignited.

Lin Qianqian said to him, "If General Li is curious, you can come with us. I also want to introduce this philosopher to you." By the way, she also wanted to dispel the misunderstanding in his mind.

"it is good."

Lin Qianqian led Gu Huai and Li Zan into Wangchun Pavilion, which had turned into a snow pavilion.

In her hands, she was carrying cakes bought from the street, a bag of peanuts and a bag of sunflower seeds, as a way of wishing a happy new year in advance.

As soon as he entered the door, he was welcomed by a servant. Even though it was snowing, students still came to ask Liu Yong questions.

When they entered, a student just pushed the door and left.

A charcoal fire was lit in the room, so her hands and feet were no longer cold. After Lin Qianqian politely greeted Liu Yong and his mother, she introduced Gu Huai and Li Zan to them, and then sat together to talk.

After a few words, Chen Jingzhou pushed the door open and walked in. There was a layer of snow on his hair and shoulders. "It's snowing outside again, Master."

When he raised his head and saw Lin Qianqian, he smiled at her politely, "Miss Lin, you are here."

Lin Qianqian stood up with a smile, pointed at Chen Jingzhou and said, "This is Zizhen, my best friend."

She was so open and generous, her actions were polite and she kept her distance. There was no sign of intimacy at all.

Li Zan picked up a peanut from the plate and threw it into his mouth as if he was watching a good show.

While chewing peanuts, he looked at Gu Huai and asked with a half-smile, "So this is Mr. Chen."

"With such a face, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, he is really handsome. Although he is dressed a little shabby, it seems that Miss Lin doesn't mind at all."

"It seems that when she looks at a man, she really values ​​his character, not his identity or status."

"But, she is already my woman." Gu Huai said confidently, his firm eyes showed no doubt, "I can see that she doesn't have any feelings for him at all."

"Can you see this?"

Gu Huai nodded confidently, "She was very gentle and kind to me, and naturally wanted to get close to me. But she had no intention of getting close to that man at all."

While the two of them were chatting, Lin Qianqian, who was standing next to them, asked Liu Yong about Confucianism and the Book of Changes.

Confucius and other sages founded Confucianism, Taoism and Legalism in order to restrain people's behavior. The concept of Confucianism is "people-oriented".

Put forward "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness".

"Ren" means the care and compassion between people.

"Yi" means conforming to moral norms

"Wisdom" means wisdom and knowledge, but it refers more to the understanding and application of moral principles.

There is no need to say much about "信", it refers to honesty and credit.

In addition to these five, it also includes "forgiveness", "loyalty", "filial piety" and "fraternal love", which aim to cultivate personal moral qualities and social responsibility.

If people are not restrained by these ideologies and morals, they will be born like ordinary animals, only eating, drinking, sleeping and reproducing. If the government only relies on punishment to manage the society, the social environment will be a society where the weak are the prey of the strong, bloody killings are rampant, and extremely unstable. Moreover, the society will release malice under the cannibalism of human beings, which will not only wantonly destroy the fruits of labor, but also make it impossible for the lower class to survive, and there will be no way to progress and development.

This kind of thought was created to improve people's moral standards and to fight against debauchery, extravagance, disregard for laws, and evil deeds.

Lin Qianqian folded her hands in front of her and said to Liu Yong respectfully, "I have read several of your books on the Book of Changes. You are famous for your filial piety, but you have never written an article or two for your mother. It's a pity."

"Your mother's hard work should be recorded. I think a son's filial piety to his mother, in addition to daily care, is to let her name be remembered by the world. With your fame, this article will surely be passed down."

Liu Yong, with gray hair on his temples, was stunned.

Chen Jingzhou, who was standing next to him, opened his eyes wide with an expression of disbelief, "She is so bold, she actually found fault with her own master!"

After Lin Qianqian smiled at Liu Yong, she turned to Chen Jingzhou and said, "You too, Zizhen, you are also famous for being filial to your mother, but you have never written an article for her."

"I think writing can not only express one's own talents and ambitions, but also express filial piety and love for relatives, and record the hard work of my mother in raising me."

"Filial piety means being kind to one's parents. The sages said, "Parents worry about their children's illnesses," and "To establish oneself and be virtuous and famous in the future generations, to honor one's parents, is the ultimate of filial piety."

"Such a great mother should be recorded, a biography should be written for her, she should be praised and commended so that she can be remembered."

Words have power.

Have the right to speak.

And it has class attributes.

For example, historical materials were written by nobles who studied and became officials. In history books, the feudal nobles are the subject and the poor people are the object. In history books, most of them describe the nobles' achievements and how they suffered. Some people will sympathize with them, but they are also the initiators of the suffering of the lower class.

Some people read history books and have no feelings for the common people who died in wars - because the dead people are just a string of numbers. Because in the eyes of the noble writers, the poor are suffering and cannot arouse sympathy. Their lives are worthless, and they die when they die. This shows that the upper class looks at the people below as animals, which can be slaughtered at will.

In feudal dynasties, literature has always been dominated by the aristocratic class and served them.

The aristocratic class holds the power of speech and they will write about their own sufferings, while the lower class does not even have the conditions to read and can only "remain silent."

In the new socialist era, there were stories with poor people as the protagonists, such as "White-Haired Girl", "Crescent Moon" and "Camel Xiangzi".

The suffering of the lower classes was recorded and seen. The people were finally more than just a string of cold numbers.

The power of words depends on whose perspective they are written from.

Writing with the aristocracy as the protagonist will inevitably glorify exploitation and oppression. It will even allocate resources and morals based on class attributes. The poor and those with worse backgrounds than oneself are all described as extremely vicious. Ordinary people are bad and deserve to be oppressed, treated like cattle and horses, and work hard to farm for the aristocrats until they die. If they have the heart to resist, they deserve to die.

The original book uses modern thinking to write about how the heroine fights in the house and beats the concubines, treating them as monsters. The concubines are all stubborn and come to snatch men from themselves, that is, modern beating of mistresses, defending their own men and housekeeping rights, which caters to the psychology of the masses. In ancient times, women had no choice. If they were favored by men, they would be taken home as cats and dogs. After playing for a while, they would be abandoned. The concubines who were not favored were You Erjie in "Dream of Red Mansions" who could not eat and was bullied by maids. And that Aunt Zhao was favored by Jia Zheng, but her status was not as good as some high-ranking maids. She gave birth to a son, Jia Huan, and a daughter, Tanchun, but was still beaten by several maids. Concubines dare not challenge the mistress as private property. However, the heroine's way of eliminating cannon fodder concubines is exactly the same as the aristocratic class eliminating people of lower status than themselves. Only those of the same class as oneself are human beings and have human rights. The lower class can be beaten and crushed at will.

Lin Qianqian wanted to approach the story from the perspective of filial piety, using the female character of mother to make people see the difficulties of being a woman, and to use filial piety to arouse respect for the status of women in ancient times.
