My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 47 I want to buy some osmanthus flowers and carry them with wine, but it doesn’t feel like the travels of youth.

The sudden question caught Zeng Anmin off guard.

Fortunately, he was already mentally prepared.

I also expected that my father might become suspicious of me.

"Ask your heart?"

Zeng Anmin's face changed, and he looked at Zeng Shilin in disbelief with his eyes wide open:
"Dad, are you asking me questions?!"

"When did it happen?!"

"You just don't believe me?"

"Okay, I'll go burn paper for my mother tonight and tell her about this. I'll ask her to come and question you tonight!"

Zeng Anmin's eyes even turned red as he spoke. After he finished speaking, he was still not satisfied and said:
"I went to the Jiaofangsi last time! I want to tell my mother too!"

As soon as these words came out, Zeng Shilin's expression froze.

Zeng Anmin’s words made his scalp tingle.

He gritted his teeth and looked at Zeng Anmin's sad eyes, feeling a little uneasy.

Especially when Zeng Anmin mentioned the word "mother", he felt blocked in his heart.

Facing his son's slightly questioning gaze, Zeng Shilin coughed lightly:
"Well, let's not talk about this for now. How has the Confucianism and Taoism progressed recently?"

Since Dad chose to change the subject, he stopped dwelling on it.

Zeng Anmin naturally knew that he should quit while he was ahead.

Speaking of the realm of Confucianism, Zeng Anmin felt somewhat helpless. He rubbed his aching forehead and said:
"I haven't made any progress since I entered the Purple Palace. These days, I've tried to read more books, communicate with people more, and walk around more, but I still don't have any new insights."

After saying this, he muttered again: "I also want to quickly enter the sixth rank. It will be easier for me to handle cases if I can be honest with others."

Zeng Anmin's words made Zeng Shilin's face somewhat gloomy:

"Hurry up and enter the sixth rank? You are so ambitious. With this kind of mentality, it will be difficult to enter the sixth rank in this lifetime!!"

After he finished speaking, he felt that he might be a little too harsh, so he slowed down his tone and said earnestly:

"After entering the Purple Mansion Realm, there is no more accumulation process for Confucianism. All that remains is the understanding of the past sages' unique knowledge, the understanding of all things between heaven and earth, and the planning of what one does..."

At this point, Dad paused, then smiled and said:

"But don't worry. My father was also stuck here for more than three years."

"Apart from understanding, is there no other way?"

Zeng Anmin played with the jade pendant that the girl from Xuanzhensi had left for him, and asked with a puzzled look on his face:
"Can't it be faster?"

Seeing his son so impatient, the father's face darkened again after just relaxing. He said unkindly:
“If you understand something that is above your state of mind, then you understand it. If you can’t understand it, no matter how many times someone tells you, you still won’t understand it.”

Zeng Shilin had also been through that time, so he naturally knew how impatient his son was at the moment. He frowned and said seriously with a hint of warning:
"Don't rush things, understand?!"

"Okay." Zeng Anmin curled his lips and answered absentmindedly.

Dad's expression eased a little, and he said earnestly:
"Go back to the Water Governor Academy when you have time and read more of the Holy Hand Book in the temple."

"Confucianism is like life. You have learned the principles of life since childhood, but it takes a long time for you to truly understand these principles. It may be five years, ten years, or even a lifetime."

"When you are doing something, you will verify the principles you have learned in the past, and suddenly you will have an epiphany in your heart, and you will have a new understanding and deeper understanding of it, and you will be able to express your feelings about it."

"And the words that come out of your heart are your understanding, an understanding that belongs only to you."

"Even if you said it using the words of the saints, it is your own understanding."

“Even if there are the same words in this world, there will not be the same understanding. Everyone’s understanding is different.”

"This sentence is your chance to step out of the Purple Mansion and into the Gentleman Realm."

"At that time, everything you say and do will have an impact on the people around you."

"Even the righteous energy in the Purple Mansion no longer only affects evil spirits."

Zeng Shilin said this, and continued by example:

"It's just like when I blocked Qi Linxian's instantaneous formation. The righteous spirit has a certain restraint on all the extraordinary forces in the world."

“The magic of Confucianism and Taoism will only gradually emerge after reaching the state of a gentleman.” Hearing his old father’s words, he almost wanted to chew the rice into pieces and feed it into his mouth.

Zeng Anmin seemed to be lost in thought, his eyes lost in memories.

He could naturally understand his father's good intentions.

He told himself how to get promoted using almost the simplest and clearest language of the era.

To put it bluntly, the principles I learned from books when I was young were not understood by me when I was young.

When you grow up, something happens that suddenly reminds you of what your teacher said in class when you were a child. Your mind suddenly trembles, and then you finally understand the truth.

“When I first read a book, I don’t understand its meaning. When I read it again, I am already one of the characters in the book.”

Zeng Anmin suddenly remembered a sentence from his previous life.

He really felt deeply about this sentence.

In my previous life’s textbook, there was an article called “Lilac Knot”.

"Everyone has many unhappy things in life. One thing ends and another comes. That's why there are clove knots every year. There are endless knots, and there are endless problems in life. Otherwise, wouldn't it be too dull and boring?"

When he first started learning, he was only in the sixth grade of primary school. How could he understand such fine details?
I just memorized it vaguely.

Twenty years later, he opened the textbook again by chance.

After just one glance, he stood there in a daze for a long time, unable to come back to his senses.

As he recalled this incident in his mind, Zeng Anmin's mood slowly changed.

"What are you standing there for? Listen carefully to your father..."

Zeng Shilin was speaking when he suddenly noticed his son standing there in a daze, with an unhappy look on his face and a frown on his face.

He was about to condemn harshly, but his pupils suddenly contracted.

Then his face became dull.

"I want to buy osmanthus flowers and carry them with wine, but it doesn't feel like the time when I was young."

Zeng Anmin slowly came back to his senses, his face complicated and filled with emotion.

boom! ! !
After saying this, he suddenly felt a flash of thunder in his sea of ​​consciousness.

Zeng Anmin was stunned for a moment, then his expression changed and he quickly immersed himself in the sea of ​​consciousness.

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the shadow of the Dragon Map still stood in the center.

However, the group of righteous energy on the right side of the virtual shadow of Kanlongtu was rolling constantly at this time.

Like clouds and mist, amazing changes are taking place.

Finally, the mighty righteous energy slowly changed color.

One wisp of green air, two wisps of green air...

boom! ! !
Wisps of green air floated in the air, and finally formed a sentence.

"I want to buy osmanthus flowers and carry them with wine, but it doesn't feel like the time when I was young."

Every word carries an ancient and majestic charm.

After this sentence was formed, the green energy slowly condensed together and became inseparable.

This……

Zeng Anmin suddenly opened his eyes and looked at his father blankly.

I just seemed to have... made a breakthrough? ?
The sixth level of Confucian gentleman? ? !
Can the noble and upright spirit have a certain influence on the people around you? !
Isn’t this too fantastic?

He wanted to ask something.

But at this moment, Dad's eyes were even duller than his.
