Love Apartment: My Happy Life

Chapter 342 Studying the Analects

Qin Ying then raised the glass in his hand and said to the others, "Everyone, to celebrate my daughter Bai Zhi getting admitted to graduate school, I'm treating you tonight. Let's not go home until we're drunk!"

Hearing Qin Ying say this, Lu Zhanbo and Wanyu raised their hands happily, but before they could shout out, they heard Lu Ziqiao's voice coming from behind them.

"Really? Where are we going? Xiaonanguo? I want braised pork elbows! Two!"

Qin Ying turned around and saw Lu Ziqiao, who looked very excited. He said in surprise, "Ziqiao, I noticed that you seem to be here every time I go out to eat."

Lu Ziqiao said with a smug look on his face, "That's for sure. As long as there's a free meal, there's definitely Lu Ziqiao!"

At this time, Mei Jia also came over. After hearing what Lu Ziqiao said, she sneered, "You are really shameless. You love to take advantage of others and yet you say it in such a high-sounding way!"

Lu Ziqiao said unconvincedly, "Who said I was taking advantage? Although I went to eat, I also gave my blessing, okay?"

Just when Chen Meijia wanted to say something else, Guan Gu came over angrily, his ferocious face full of anger.

Several people looked at Guan Gu in surprise. This was the first time they saw Guan Gu so angry.

"I want him to commit seppuku! One cut! Two cuts! Three cuts! Keep cutting!!!"

After Guan Gu sat down, Mei Jia asked with concern: "Guan Gu, what's wrong with you?"

Guan Gu heard Meijia's voice, raised his head, forced a smile on his face, and said, "Nothing, I just want to see what's going on in the head of that publishing house? I really want to open his head and see if it's filled with shit!"

"What happened?"

Guan Gu calmed down and explained, "A few days ago, I went to the publishing house to submit my drawings, and the person in charge said that some parts of the plot were not good and asked me to revise them."

"The key thing is that I revised it once and the other party said it was not good. I revised it again and he said it was not good. When I went to see him again today, he actually asked me for a first draft!"

"I'm so pissed off I'm going to commit seppuku! No, I want him to commit seppuku! Do you know how I've been spending the past few days? Staying up until two or three every night!"

"These past few days I've been sleeping later than a dog and waking up earlier than a chicken!"

Zhan Bo looked at Guan Gu's frantic expression, pointed at Qin Ying, and said, "No wonder you have such heavy dark circles under your eyes. They're almost as bad as that guy over there!"

When Qin Ying heard this, several black lines appeared on his forehead. Just say it, why do you want to bring me along?

Qin Ying looked at Guan Gu and kindly suggested, "Guan Gu, you should stay at home for the next few days. Rest at home and recuperate your body and mind."

Guan Gu took a few deep breaths, calmed himself down, and said, "You're right. I've been in a bad mood recently."

Qin Ying suggested to Guan Gu, "Guan Gu, I suggest you read the Analects to cultivate your body and mind. This is a treasure of our Chinese culture and it will definitely be helpful to you!"

Guan Gu asked doubtfully, "What is the Analects? Is it a new language? I might not have that much time. Chinese alone is enough for me to learn."

Qin Ying explained, "No, the Analects is a book compiled by Confucius, a famous Chinese thinker, and his disciples. It records Confucius's insights on certain things and can often be used as advice."

Guan Gu asked again in confusion: "Who is Confucius?"

Seeing Guan Gu's curious look, Qin Ying was also ready to help him to the end, to help him to the end, and to educate Xiao Zi about the profoundness of Chinese culture.

Qin Ying explained, "Confucius is a famous thinker and educator in Chinese history, and the founder of Confucianism! Born in 551 BC, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Confucius traveled around the world with his three thousand disciples, spreading his ideas."

After hearing Qin Ying's introduction, Guan Gu exclaimed in amazement, "This country is one that allows people to learn and live until old age. Chinese culture is truly profound and extensive. Confucius is truly amazing!"

Hu Yifei nodded in satisfaction, looked at Qin Ying and said, "You speak well, why don't you become a teacher?"

Qin Ying shook his head and quickly refused: "Forget it, I don't want to face those little kids. It's so annoying. Junior high and high school teachers also have to get up early in the morning. What's the difference between this and teaching again?"

Qin Ying then looked at Guan Gu and said, "Actually, what I just said is only the version that everyone knows. There is actually another version. Do you want to hear it?"

Guan Gu asked puzzledly, "What version?"

Even Hu Yifei was confused. How could a teacher like herself not know that there was another version of the story of Confucius?

Seeing the puzzled expressions of the few people, Qin Ying said, "It seems that you all want to listen, so I will tell you!"

"Based on what I just said, do you think Confucius was a weak scholar who only knows how to talk?"

Guan Gu asked doubtfully, "Isn't it?"

Qin Ying shook his head and said, "Of course not. You have to know that Confucius was from Lu, which is now the land of Qi and Lu. There, green onions can grow two meters tall."

"According to historical records, Confucius was a man about two meters tall with a face like a ferocious ghost. He was strong enough to lift a city gate. He was also a very fast runner and could often be seen chasing rabbits in the wild!"

"You may not know what the gate of the city gate is like. In today's terms, it weighs 400 kilograms."

"It is said that Confucius and his disciples were once trapped in a mountain. They had not eaten for seven days. His disciples were so hungry that they could not walk, but Confucius was still there playing the flute."

"The most important thing is that he's not just strong, he's also proficient in rituals, music, archery, calligraphy, mathematics, and the six arts of a gentleman. He's truly a man of both civil and military abilities!"

"The most important thing is that Confucius was good at winning people over with virtue. Whenever someone refused to listen to his reasoning, the muscles on his body would bulge and gradually condense into the character 'virtue'. This is the origin of the saying 'Winning people over with virtue'!"

Everyone present was stunned after hearing Qin Ying's explanation. These words completely overturned their cognition.

It turns out that everything I learned as a child was fake?

The fake Confucius traveled around the countries and conducted cultural exchanges with his disciples. The real Confucius traveled around the countries and conquered all the countries with his three thousand disciples and seventy-two halls.

Hu Yifei asked curiously, "Where did you learn all this?"

"Don't worry about where you saw it, just tell me if it makes sense!"

Guan Gu raised his hand and said, "I still think the latter version is more convincing! Confucius is so handsome. I have decided that from today on, Confucius will be my idol!"

I can only say that he is worthy of being our Confucius. Even after so much time has passed, he can still easily conquer his daily life.
