Chapter 19 Difficult for Teachers [2]
Lao Fuzi, Liu Xi, talked a lot and then stopped to ask Xie Chun if he could remember it? Xie Chun nodded to show that he remembered everything. How could Liu Xi believe him and ask him to repeat it? Xie Chun kept talking and repeated it sentence by sentence. Liu Xi looked at Xie Chun in surprise. He didn't say a word for a long time, but just stared at him blankly.
After a long period of time, Liu Xicai asked Xie Chun, 'Zihou, have you ever shown your ability to learn about Guangji to outsiders? Does anyone else know you have this ability? Did your parents, grandparents and other elders ever know? ''
Xie Chun answered the teacher's question with a straight face: 'Up to now, no one knows except my teacher and teacher. I have followed my teacher since I was five years old, and my relatives have no idea. I don't know why I have such a good memory, especially for articles and poems. My teacher was the same as me when he was alive. He taught me knowledge, never using books, but just recited it to me. I remembered it after listening to it. So what I said before is not false. I really learned to write small regular script in half a year. ''
Xie Chun's slightly aggrieved expression touched Liu Xi's heart. Now he knows that there are people in the world who never forget their eyes or ears. And as far as he knows, there are two such amazing people. Who is Xie Chun's mentor? Such skills have been buried in the folk and have been unknown.
Liu Xi frowned and thought for a while, then told Xie Chun in a very severe tone: 'Zihou, you don't know how dangerous the world is when you are young. You should promise me solemnly that no matter how difficult or difficult it may be in the future, you should not easily show your ability to never forget what you have seen or heard. You now swear on your knees that you will never show this ability to others, even relatives and friends, unless your life is in danger. ''
Seeing Liu Xi with a slightly stern look telling him again and again, Xie Chun can't help feeling a little warm. He has been lucky since his rebirth, and has never met a bad person until now. And these people have given him the warm love he once felt from his master, making him very comfortable in this Ming Dynasty.
After Xie Chun solemnly kneels down and swears, Liu Xi casually asks, 'Zihou, your mentor is such a smart person, has he never disclosed his name and address to you?'
Xie Chun thought for a while and then said, "When my mentor was seriously ill, I was already in a coma. He used to talk nonsense, but most of them told me to live a good life and not give up studying and scientific research. But finally, my mentor cried out, 'Hao has no face to see you again'. I don't know whether it was heroic Hao, or Hao, Hao Homonyms like Hao, but so far I don't know your teacher's surname and address. ''
A strange student came to Liu Jiacun's elementary school. Every morning, he came to see Liu Xi and handed him one or two eight part essays. Then the children heard Liu Xi shouting in his study, 'What a piece of bullshit article, there is no creativity at all.' Or 'It's becoming more and more outrageous, and I will add another article tomorrow. If I can't write it well, I will hit you in the palm of your hand.' However, to Meng Tong's curiosity, this more and more handsome brother was never beaten by Master Liu once, but Master Liu's angry scolding never abated.
Xie Chun feels less and less confident. He feels that Laofu Liu Xi is becoming more and more strict, from one eight part essay a day to two, sometimes even three to four. Xie Chun feels that his articles are getting better and better, but when he comes to Liu Xi, they are still "nonsense". Then he adds one or two eight part essays. After the four book titles are finished, Liu Xi did not ask Xie Chunzhi which scripture [the Five Classics only need to pass one scripture], but also asked questions according to the Five Classics. Xie Chun exhausted his mind to write articles and handed them to Liu Xi. The evaluation was still 'nonsense, rewrite one article'.
Xie Chun continued to suffer in the bitter days. Suddenly, it was the autumn harvest season. On that day, Xie Chun wrote an article and sent it to Lao Fuzi's office for review. Unexpectedly, he got another sentence of "nonsense". But this time, he did not assign any homework, saying that he would clear his head and see if he could write an article that Liu Xi praised.
When Xie Chun returns to his study, he sees that the potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn are ripe, so he starts to harvest crops; Zhang's mother went out early to sell bowls and cakes. The sauce prepared by Xie Chun was really popular. Zhang Cheng's mother was too busy for anyone, so she hired a neighbor woman to help. After the production increased, her business was still booming.
Zhang Cheng is now learning to write articles and practice calligraphy with Xie Chun. However, he is too weak and has not made much progress. It seems that he can't take the imperial examination in the short term. Xie Chun sees his situation, so he teaches him to learn how to keep accounts and learn the Nine Chapter Suanjing. He doesn't want to match Zhang Cheng's strong points, and his learning progress is very fast.
Xie Chun has turned to Zhang Cheng to focus on skills at this stage. He will learn four books and five classics slowly, and emphasize that he should practice calligraphy. As long as the font is good, he will not worry about finding a good way to live in the Ming Dynasty, just like copying books and writing storybooks. Ordinary literati scholars will not bother to do it. If Zhang Cheng does not have a good way in the future, Xie Chun wants to train him to be a senior writer in the Ming Dynasty, and Xie Chun will give some advice, At that time, he will not earn enough money to become a rich Ming Dynasty man who depends on writing.
However, Xie Chun's situation has not changed at all. The hard days have just begun. After the autumn harvest, Liu Fuzi did not know what was going on. He asked him to hand in three to four eight part essays on the Five Classics every day. After Xie Chun painstakingly wrote them, he handed them in. He still reaped the benefits of 'nonsense' and 'beating hands like this again', such a round and round life, Let Xie Chun's confidence gradually disappear and become a little less confident.
Finally, one day Xie Chun couldn't bear it, so he copied a copy of the Qing Dynasty's top scholar's essay from the famous eight part essay in his memory. The eight part essay mixed with his own writing was handed to Laofu Liu Xi. The next day, he was still greeted with "nonsense". Xie Chun was dumbfounded at that time. The Qing Dynasty's top scholar's essay fell in the eyes of the Ming Dynasty's scholar, and the comment he received was "nonsense". What would he take to test the scholar, His face was depressed and his heart was uneasy, so he didn't go home as usual.
Instead, he came to Liu Xi solemnly, fell down on his knees and sobbed with tears in his eyes. Liu Xi was surprised and quickly stood up and asked, 'What's wrong with you, Zihou? Well, why did you suddenly give this gift? What grievances do you have for your teacher? ''
Xie Chun sobbed and said, 'Teacher, is my disciple very clumsy? I can't even write an eight part essay. I have been writing for several months, but I haven't made any progress. I still have nothing to gain.' '
Liu Xi was obviously stunned, smiled and comforted Xie Chun: 'Zihou, don't be sad. In fact, your article is good, but I'm too strict with you, so I haven't praised you. Well, tomorrow we will start to learn the piano. In the future, we will only do an eight part essay every day. Only by combining work and rest can we write good articles. You should know how to be modest at a young age, so as to speed up progress. Your manuscripts are piled up in the wing room. How about we burn them both? ''
After the master and the apprentice burned up the stacked manuscripts, Liu Xi tried to persuade Xie Chun to leave again. After Xie Chun left, Liu Ximo sweated on his forehead and said with some fear, 'Oh, I played too hard and almost destroyed the boy's confidence. It's good, it's good, and the rescue didn't have a big impact, Otherwise, a good seedling will be destroyed by me, and I will be the sinner of Daming. I will regret for my whole life. ''
But after a while, Liu Xi turned to laughing and said, 'Hey, hey, in a few years, I will show the world what is called' born handsome talent 'and what is' good minister for helping the world', which makes them jealous of my outstanding disciples. ' Then he laughed like an old urchin.
The next morning, Liu Xi took over the article delivered by Xie Chun. For the first time, he stopped scolding and read it carefully. After praising a sentence in the article, he asked Xie Chun to take it back and burn it after he went back, so as not to cause trouble.
Liu Xi took out the Yao Qin he had already prepared and began to explain fingering, playing and music theory to Xie Chun.
