When Kong Rong was young, he was intelligent, eager to learn, quick witted and clever. When he was 4 years old, he could recite many poems and rites, and he knew manners. His parents loved him very much.

One day, his father bought some pears, specially selected one of the largest pears to Confucius Rong, Confucius Rong shook his head, but another picked the smallest pear said: "I am the youngest, should eat small pears, your pear to brother." His father was surprised and asked, "Is that younger brother younger than you, too?" Kong Rong said, "My younger brother is younger than me, and I should let him too." The story of Kong Rongren's pear soon spread to Qufu and has been handed down, which has become a good example for many parents to educate their children.

When Kong Rong was a child, he was not only hardworking but also good at thinking. His father always goes with him when he goes out. When he was 10 years old, he came to Luoyang with his father. It's just the Li Fu's residence in Luoyang. Then the gatekeeper hurriedly pulled and asked, "Which child are you? Go and play!" Kong Rong solemnly answered, "Please go in and announce that Kong Rong from Shandong is visiting." When the doorman saw him seriously, he didn't know what he came from. He smiled and asked, "Do you have red stickers?" Confucius Rong said, "My family has been in contact with your master for generations, and there is a friendship between teachers and students. There is no need for red stickers, just notify." The gatekeeper was afraid to wait for the guest, so he had to go in. At this time, Li was talking with many literati and scholars, listened to the briefing, for a moment can not remember the relationship between Kong Rong and his family, had to haha: "Please come in!" Kongrong Rongxing rushed into the hall, while greeting the host, while arched his hand to greet the guests, not overbearing or humble. As Li Qian gave up her seat, she looked at the handsome young man and wondered why the child had never seen him before and why he claimed to be a master of the family. So Li Qian asked, "My little boy, how can I forget the friendship between our two families from generation to generation?" Confucius smiled and said, "500 years ago Confucius asked Laozi, Confucius." Zi Zi Kong, Laozi's surname Li, explains that Kong and Li have 500 years of friendship between teachers and students. Today, your surname is Li, my surname is Kong, and it's also a teacher student relationship. Is our family not a family member? "

Kong Rong's words are amazing. All the guests here are very surprised. Li Li, the chief procurator, could not help laughing. "The little boy is really a prodigy." Only Chen Tao, a doctor in the middle school, disagreed and said coldly, "A wise man in his childhood may not be able to make a difference when he grows up." Faced with the challenge, Kong Rong smiled and said, "Sir, when he was a boy, he must be very smart." This clever reply made Chen chill blush and speechless, sitting quietly beside him. Kong Rong, however, looked straight at him, dressed in an adult appearance and drank tea in a solemn manner, causing everyone to laugh.
