Si Chengyou stood in front of Shen Yue again and began to look at Shen Yue.
Si Chengyou's eyes were sharp, but Shen Yue did not give in at all, as if she was going to throw in the towel and say, "If you don't give in to me, you won't be able to sleep."
Ten minutes later, the two looked at each other, and No. 14 drank some water to calm himself down.
15 minutes later, the two were still staring at each other, and No. 14 was still drinking water to calm himself down.
19 minutes later, Si Chengyou finally compromised, turned around and went to the study to find a book, and said to Shen Yue, "Come here."
When Shen Yue walked over, No. 14 discovered that a bedroom had appeared on the 36th floor, where the people in power in Building 5 were located, without anyone noticing.
No. 14 hurried over, fearing that Shen Yue had been cheated by the old man.
Then he saw Shen Yue lying peacefully on the extra bed, with a look of peace and tranquility on her face, while Si Chengyou was beside her, holding a copy of the Analects in his hand, reading to Shen Yue in a very moderate tone.
This is what Shen Yue just said about storytelling.
“The general of an army can be deprived of his command, but the will of a common man cannot be taken away.”
"If a gentleman does not take things seriously, he will not be respected; if he does not learn, his knowledge will not be solid. He should be loyal and trustworthy, and have no friends who are not as good as himself. If he makes a mistake, he should not be afraid to correct it."
"I can speak of the rites of the Xia Dynasty, but Qi is not sufficient to prove them; I can speak of the rites of the Yin Dynasty, but Song is not sufficient to prove them. This is because the literature is insufficient. If it were sufficient, I would be able to prove it."
No. 14 was originally alert, fearing that Si Chengyou would do something strange, but as he listened, No. 14 was left with only shock.
Is this storytelling? This is quite explosive in the entire storytelling world.
Si Chengyou read for nearly an hour before Shen Yue fell asleep.
When Si Chengyou walked out of Shen Yue's room, his face was filled with fatigue.
He walked past No. 14 and said only one sentence, "You can rest on the sofa." Then he turned around and went into the bedroom.
No. 14 thought about Shen Yue who used Building 5 as Building 7, and Si Chengyou who was called up in the middle of the night to "tell a story" to Shen Yue. For a moment, he didn't know how to feel.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Si Chengyou got up on time and went to the study to start reading.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, Shen Yue also woke up. After washing up in the bathroom, she ran to the study room without considering herself an outsider. She picked up a book with a red leaf bookmark on the desk, turned to the page with the bookmark and continued reading.
No. 14 noticed that the book Shen Yue was reading was called Records of the Grand Historian.
No. 14 had heard of this book but had never read it. One reason was that he didn't have time to read it, and the other was that he didn't know what reading such a book would bring him.
Shen Yue watched it very seriously, and as she watched, she would discuss it with Si Chengyou.
"Si Chengyou, General Lian Po fought for Zhao all his life, but was forced to leave his country and eventually died in a foreign land. He was not trusted by the king for half of his life, but why did he still miss Zhao before he died? I want to employ Zhao people, I can't understand."
Si Chengyou was also reading his own book. After listening to Shen Yue's words, he put down the book in his hand and replied, "This is Lian Po's love for his country and people, his ideal pursuit of national prosperity and people's happiness. This is the feeling of family and country, the sense of identity, belonging, responsibility and mission to the country. These feelings are not mixed with any interests. They are based on people's beliefs, and they are even willing to give up everything for them."
