Chapter 22: Agitation
Of course, Da Confucian also hesitated at that time, how to teach a child. After all, this is something he is very bad at, and he has never been in contact with it. Fortunately, at that time, the proprietor directly said that his child was completely stupid. The reason why the child is allowed to learn from Da Ru is not to expect him to learn anything, but only to hope that Da Ru's words and deeds can subtly make the child calm down and cultivate his self-cultivation.
For this, this Mr. Daru still has some self-confidence. After all, when you read a book by yourself, that kind of focused attitude is indeed worth learning from everyone. He also believes that no matter what, as long as he follows him, after a few years, through his words and deeds, he will naturally be able to know the importance of reading.
Fortunately, although the owner only strictly required him to see those books in the study, he did not ask him to teach this child what to be. The only reason why a gentleman, who has never had any patience with children, can accept this errand is because of these precious books provided by the Zhao family.
And in the study, the child is isolated from so many other temptations outside, and I think that this child's character can at least be a lot more honest. Then he is worthy of the owner's entrustment. This is also the reason why this great Confucian can still be so arrogant in the Zhao family, and he doesn't care about Zhao Rong's studies at all, and only concentrates on his own learning.
For Zhao Rong, he was able to go to the provincial capital for a few days to get in touch with the outside world this time, but it opened his eyes and expanded his mind and thinking. What's more, he also got to know the two eldest brothers of the Gong family. For Gong Yu, Zhao Rong feels that it is rare, and together with the second brother, the interests and hobbies of the two are also very similar, and their temperament is very good. So when he traveled with his second brother, Zhao Rong felt very comfortable and happy.
Through his interaction with his second brother, Zhao Rong made up for a lot of common sense knowledge, and also realized the different lifestyles of different people from all walks of life in this society. It can be said that with the help of the second brother, Zhao Rong is a bit like a living person, not a wooden man educated by the Zhao family, sitting in a well and watching the sky.
And although the contact with Gong Jian was very short, the touch on Zhao Rong was great. For the first time, he realized that the impression of a reader in his mind was not correct. I also know that even if they are scholars, but at the most basic point they are just a person, as long as they are human beings, they have their own advantages and disadvantages.
And to look at a thing comprehensively, you can't just make a decision based on your own momentary feelings. It can be said that although Gong Jian only had a few words with Zhao Rong, it played a great role in Zhao Rong's enlightenment. That's why he was able to accept the situation in front of him so calmly.
I believe that if Zhao Rong did not travel to the provincial capital this time, then even if someone told him that his current situation was worrying, it is estimated that Zhao Rong would be difficult to believe or in the end, even if he had doubts in his heart, he could only hold on and be unwilling to admit the facts.
Anyway, this trip to the provincial capital is indeed a trip that has made Zhao Rong and Xiao Tao grow a lot. Now that the two of them are discussing in the study, it is very late to see that it is getting dark, so Zhao Rong and Xiao Tao will go back to rest separately. After all, they had to be careful about going through the days until they heard back from there, and the two of them were able to discuss their next activities.
Early the next morning, Zhao Rong, who was early in the morning, took the little servants and walked out of the door of his small courtyard. And this time, Zhao Rong was still by his side, but Xiao Tao stayed in the courtyard with the little guy specially assigned by his wife. However, before Zhao Rong went out, he and Xiao Tao still looked at each other, and the two tacitly knew that their plan would continue normally.
When Zhao Rong and his party walked out of the courtyard and couldn't see the figure, Xiao Huantao turned his head and said with emotion to their mother-in-law: "Hey, I see that the young master has grown a lot in recent days, at least the young master has studied harder, it can be seen that Mrs. is still teaching well." ”
When the mother-in-law heard Xiao Tao's emotion, she pouted in her heart: The young master is like this, the reason why he went out early and returned late to study with Mr. was not because of Mrs. regulations. This little peach is really good at talking, and he actually said that the young master has become more diligent. But no matter what, since this little peach mentioned that it was Mrs. who taught well, of course she didn't care what she thought in her heart, but the mother-in-law nodded sincerely.
"yes, yes, little peach. I think it's the same, you see, as long as you listen to Madame's words, the young master has also made great progress. ”
Xiao Tao has actually been rolling his eyes in his heart, he has been patiently following his mother-in-law's words, but he can get out of the yard smoothly today, so he deliberately showed a look of annoyance.
"Hey, I was so confused before, how can I make Madame angry. Now that I think about it, I can't wait to beat myself, but this time I really offended my wife. I wonder if it's too late if I go to Madame to admit my mistake now?"
After saying this, without waiting for the mother-in-law to answer, Xiao Tao sighed deeply, fully showing a look of remorse. Xiao Tao muttered in his heart, he didn't believe it, he was so obvious, didn't this lady's eyeliner have any reaction.
Sure enough, she didn't let Xiao Tao wait longer, the mother-in-law smacked her mouth, and then said: "Oh Xiao Tao, I didn't tell you, you were really confused a few days ago." Madame, can you offend that, fortunately, our Madame is magnanimous and doesn't bother with a little person like you. In this way, I think you are also quite caring, today you simply go to Mrs. to admit your mistake, and let Mrs. know that you have reformed yourself. ”
Xiao Tao waited for her to say this, and finally heard this mother-in-law take the initiative to let him out of the yard and go to Mrs. to admit his mistake. Xiao Tao was also happy in her heart, but she showed a little worry on her face.
"Mother-in-law, it's not that I don't want to admit my mistake to my wife, in fact, I'm thinking about it all the time, I'm just afraid that the mistake I made before is too big, and my wife won't forgive me. Of course, I, I'm not saying that Madame should forgive me. In fact, I now feel that I don't know how the lard was blinded, and that Madame was right to punish me. I'm just afraid that if I appear in front of Madame now, it will make Madame even more angry. ”
