"Mr. Liu, Grandma Ma is not a country bumpkin! When you go later, you must have a better attitude!”
On the mountain path that was filled with the morning light.
A little boy dressed in red walked with small steps.
Next to him was Mr. Liu, whose expression was not very good.
"Humph! Xiao Qian, you're too young to understand the twists and turns of this.”
"You're a piece of unpolished jade. You'll definitely become a great talent in the future!”
"When I teach you, I only dare to teach you the most basic things. I don't even dare to interpret the Four Books and Five Classics for you because I'm afraid that I'll delay you.”
Under the morning sun.
Master Liu's old figure paused.
He looked at the child below and said earnestly.
"Little Qian, you have to remember…in order to balance the number of students in the north and south, our Ming Dynasty's Martial Emperor Hong Wu specially asked questions from the Four Books and Five Classics!”
"And these few Confucian classics, although they are the words of a Sage, they are subtle and righteous!”
"However, it was the great scholars of the later generations who explained it.”
"Therefore, although the words of the sage left behind by the supreme sage teacher are infinitely profound, they contain the relationship between people, the relationship between monarch and minister, the cultivation of virtue, and so on!”
"However, such explanations that are too detailed are all explained by later generations.”
"And because of the different national conditions of each dynasty, there are differences in the annotations.”
" I even changed the short sentences, changed the words, and so on…"
The little boy looked up and listened attentively.
Mister Liu sighed bitterly.
"So, since every great scholar has different annotations, then their understanding of each other is also different.”
"The same Sage's words may be interpreted differently by everyone.”
"Therefore, I know that…I can't teach you with my knowledge, so I'll only let you read the most basic chapters! If there is a slight ambiguity, this old man will not dare to teach you.”
"Because I'm afraid of destroying you!”
Mr. Liu sighed again!
"But…this woman is different! She really dares to teach you."
"You're still too young and don't understand the evils of the human heart. If your heart is pure and kind, it's hard to guarantee that outsiders will destroy you.”
"How can a woman like this, who doesn't know much and might not even have the title of a scholar, teach you?”
"Qian 'er, you should know that this old man has put in a lot of effort.”
Mr. Liu smiled sadly." In my life, I went to the Imperial College to study, but I left halfway. I was half-baked, and I only started a private school with your grandfather's help.”
"I know the limits of my abilities, so I can only teach you what I know. But I won't teach you what I doubt or don't know.”
"Although this old man is ashamed, I won't mislead my disciples!”
"The Sage has a saying: Knowing is knowing, and not knowing is not knowing!”
Mr. Liu said, not caring if the little boy beside him understood.
Then, he walked forward again.
The happy little boy wanted to continue persuading Mr. Liu not to be so malicious.
However, after hearing these words, he understood that his teacher was doing this for his own good.
He immediately nodded dejectedly." It's great wisdom!”
Mr. Liu smiled, grabbed the boy's painful hand, and walked forward again.
After a while, in a small village on a different road ahead.
There were children that the little boy was familiar with.
He recognized them. They went to school with Granny Ma.
He quickly greeted her.
" Ah Qian, this is…" A girl with pigtails asked.
"My husband." The boy replied,
At this moment…
"That Granny Ma even teaches women?" Mr. Liu suddenly asked in confusion.”
The girl was originally from a small village. She knew that it was already very lucky for her to be able to read in school.
After being asked by this real gentleman.
He was a little afraid and could only say weakly,"That granny said that it's always good to be able to read. In the future, even if she were to take care of her husband and teach her children, she would also be a mother who could read!”
Mr. Liu's originally furrowed brows relaxed slightly.
"It seems that he is kind.”
"Let's go!"
The group of people hurriedly walked towards the familiar courtyard that they had already walked through dozens of times.
Fifteen minutes later.
They finally saw the small courtyard.
However!
What happened next shocked them!
They saw several buffaloes carrying bags of food on their backs!
He even saw the gibbon carrying pieces of wood over!
There were even a few hounds dragging their prey and gently placing them at the entrance of the small courtyard.
Beside them, there was a parrot chirping.
"Put it here, put it here!”
Wow!
The group of children were dumbfounded and looked at this scene in disbelief.
Even Mr. Liu was stunned.
"This…How can there be such a rare thing in this world?”
He couldn't believe it.
Then, he hurriedly looked towards the courtyard.
He realized that a green-robed man was standing in the courtyard.
The other person stood under the eaves and looked at this scene in shock.
Obviously, it was unbelievable!
"Big brother!"
At this moment.
The little boy beside Mr. Liu quickly ran over with a surprised expression.
The other children.
Seeing the appearance of that young man, they were also very excited.
However, with so many animals in front of them, they did not dare to run.
"Alright, all of you can leave."
At this moment.
The person who appeared in Empress Ma's courtyard was naturally Zhu Xiong Ying.
He looked around and smiled.
"Squeak squeak!"
"Roar! Roar!"
The animals seemed to understand his words and responded one after another.
What shocked everyone was that…
In the next moment.
They bowed to Zhu Xiong Ying and then hurriedly fled into the forest.
"This…"
Empress Ma was completely stunned.
After all the animals had retreated.
Whether it was adults or children, they all looked at Zhu Xiong Ying in shock.
"Big brother, these animals…can understand you?”
"There are still many things. Did you send them?”
"Big brother, can I learn?”
For a moment.
The children chattered and surrounded Zhu Xiongying.
The remaining two adults.
One of them was dumbfounded and completely unable to understand.
The other was shocked, but then he seemed to have thought of something and quickly understood.
"Everyone, find a place to sit down."
At this moment.
Zhu Xiongying was the first to break the strange atmosphere.
After the children sat down.
Empress Ma also came to Zhu Xiong Ying's side.
Suddenly, he saw the door.
An old man with a beard and a walking stick stood there.
He frowned slightly.
Before she could ask.
The old man had already walked over." I'm the teacher that the child's family invited. I'm here today to ask for advice.”
The old man didn't dawdle and went straight to the point.
Empress Ma already knew that they had ill intentions.
"Please speak, sir."
The old man did not reply.
Instead, his heart moved. He first looked at the young man who did not know the depth of his cultivation. He clearly did not look like a person from this barren mountain village.
In fact,
At this moment, in the old man's heart.
The woman in front of him was even more difficult to see.
This was because, regardless of whether it was in terms of words or actions, he could feel the intimacy of the other party.
However, Mr. Liu could always feel the alienation behind that kind of intimacy.
There was more!
He did not know if it was an illusion, but he was in front of this lady.
There was actually a feeling that when he was in the directorate, there were often important officials in the court who took time off to teach.
The feeling he gave them.
It was the kind of person who was obviously very friendly, but his words and actions naturally carried a sense of dignity.
It was hard not to believe!
The woman in front of him gave him an even more satisfying feeling!
She wasn't someone that the wild woman could compare to.
In just an instant.
Mr. Liu wanted to question him, but he immediately backed out.
Instead, his target was Zhu Xiongying.
"May I ask this young man, who are you…and those animals just now…"
Zhu Xiongying could tell at a glance why this person was here.
He smiled.
"I was fated to come here yesterday and happened to see this granny teaching the naughty children the Thousand Character Classic. Therefore, I happened to be interested and passed on a set of enlightenment methods that the seniors had studied to these children!”
"I saw that this place is barren, so I passed by today and brought these things.”
"As for animals, they are just ordinary beast taming techniques!”
"Oh?" Mr. Liu gave a soft " oh " and focused all his attention on the " Enlightenment Method "!
He immediately thought of last night.
The words that the manager had told him.
He suddenly realized that this person was the real master!
Mr. Liu quickly asked,
"Is there really a method to enlighten children?"
"I came here today for the same reason!”
"I saw it last night too…"
"This technique only has a single page, and only a few dozen... incomprehensible symbols are written on it!”
"However, it claims to be able to make all the illiterate people in the world…"
"They can all learn to read in a short period of time!"
"Its effects are even faster and faster than the Three Character Classic, Hundred Family Names, and Thousand Character Classic!”
"Is there such a magical thing?"
Zhu Xiong Ying didn't even think about it and said with a certain tone,""In terms of…the speed of reading!”
"Indeed!"
"Good!" Mr. Liu shouted. "This old man is also here today for this reason!”
"Forgive me for not agreeing with this method!”
"May I ask if I can meet him?"
Zhu Xiongying laughed.
"So that's why you're here!"
"Simple!"
"Then it's simple, quick!"
"Why don't we compete in how fast you can read!"
Zhu Xiongying knew.
For an old teacher with a fixed mind, especially after he could recognize words.
When this kind of people saw Pinyin, they really regarded it as chicken ribs!
Very few people could think as carefully as Empress Ma, thinking as deeply as an ignorant child!
Mr. Liu was able to read faster than he could read.
He immediately became spirited!
He was stunned at first, but then joy flashed across his face. He was eager to give it a try!
He thought to himself,'I'll see how you'll be exposed today.'
On the surface, he asked impatiently,"
"How?"
Zhu Xiongying laughed. The fish had taken the bait.
"Simple!"
"Choose ten uncommon Chinese characters!”
"Teach me the method you used!"
"I'll teach you in my own way!"
"Then, we'll mess up the order and let these children read out what the words are one by one.”
"May I?"
Hearing this.
Instantly.
Mr. Liu, who had a long beard and was wearing a long robe, laughed.
He was obviously very happy.
"I know that my knowledge is not high, so I have spent my entire life studying enlightenment!”
"I already have my own technique!”
"You want to compete with me?"
"Hahaha…"
"Deal!"
