They gathered in the hall where Feng and Huang Laoshi lived, and Du Juan sat on a chair while sewing clothes while listening to Lin Chun opposite; Huang Li was on the side, holding a plate of small snacks and eating, which Lin Chun bought by the way when he returned home.

Lin Chun talked endlessly about what he had learned today at the cuckoo.

Seeing that his eyes were shining, the cuckoo knew that Master Zhou must have spoken very well that day, which aroused his resonance and strong interest, so he listened carefully and asked questions from time to time.

Listening to this, she became a little worried.

Then he stopped the needlework in his hand and interjected and admonished: "Lin Chun, you have to remember: it doesn't matter if you learn knowledge from them, don't be bound by that knowledge and lose your true merits, then you will put the cart before the horse." ”

Lin Chun smiled and asked with a solemn expression, "Cuckoo, do you mean ......?"

Du Juan said: "You have to understand your strengths and strengths, don't lose your true colors." Then Zhao Yushi takes a fancy to you and recommends you to go to the academy; Why did Master Zhou accept you as a disciple? If you say that you are a little literate, there are many such students in the academy. ”

Lin Chun frowned slightly, as if thinking about his advantages.

Du Juan further explained: "Compared with you and Gongzi Zan and Gongzi Shen: they have been strictly taught since childhood, learned the six arts of gentlemen, and have elegance and nobility in their gestures, and have perfect social skills that ordinary people do not have, which is difficult for us country children to compare; However, the simplicity of nature in you is also something they can't imitate, and you are born with the sensitivity of a beast and an incomparable ability of perception. Because of this ability of yours, with what you have learned, you have a unique temperament; The wood carvings are even more ethereal. It's as if you can pick up an object from nature and accurately blend it into the wood carving......"

Lin Chun listened to her words. Some of the excitement gradually calmed down.

He looked at the cuckoo fixedly, and thought to himself. Or what she said was the most heartfelt to him, always to the point, so that he quickly captured the key point.

Outside the house, Huang Yuan and Zan Xuji didn't know when they came, they walked down the corridor, and when they came to the window, they just heard Du Juan's words, and they unconsciously stopped and stood there listening.

“…… Therefore, when you enter the academy, you should enrich yourself with the knowledge you have learned. And don't be assimilated by their educational model and lose your original qualities. ”

Lin Chun asked, "Cuckoo, do you think they don't teach well?" ”

Huang Li also chewed twice, swallowed the snack in his mouth, and asked, "Didn't the second sister say that those masters are all famous Confucians?" It's the most literate. ”

Cuckoo laughed: "How dare I say that they don't teach well. It's just that when they teach knowledge, they still have a task: to give guidance to students in the imperial examination. There are certain routines in this imperial examination system, and each master has a different understanding of the scriptures and history, if you are not careful. It's easy to learn to be rigid and inflexible, and lose your spiritual ......."

Huang Li suddenly realized.

Lin Chun said to her: "Master Zhou is very good. After thinking for a moment, he winked at her again, "It's completely different from Master Geng." ”

How different. But he didn't continue.

He is much more cautious, that is, there are no others here, and he does not talk about the length of people casually. The main reason is that I suffered a big loss last time.

The cuckoo understood and smiled: "It's your luck." ”

Lin Chun smiled. Turning his face, he saw that Huang Li had already eaten half a plate of dim sum, and his eyes were greedy. In his mouth, he also picked a piece and ate it, and then took another piece and handed it to the cuckoo, "Taste it." It's salty, not greasy. ”

Huang Li smiled embarrassedly: "I was asked to choose and eat the sweets." ”

The cuckoo took the snack and ate it, while scaring his sister: "You love sweets, be careful if you eat bad teeth, and then grow a body of meat, you will die in a hurry!" ”

Huang Li pouted and said, "How can you eat a lot?" I'm so tired every day that I don't have enough to eat. I woke up hungry in the middle of the night last night! ”

Du Juan and Lin Chun laughed when they heard this.

After chewing and swallowing, the cuckoo continued: "It is better not to read than to believe in books." At no time can we lose the ability to improvise. For example, you and Jiu'er have different temperaments and learn differently, which is called 'teaching students according to their aptitude'; when you do wood carving, you carve different scenes according to different wood materials and textures, which is called 'measuring materials for use'. ”

Lin Chun groaned: "I have also seen a lot of students' articles and calligraphy and paintings in the past few days, but I always feel that they are not so ...... Well, it's just too rigid. There is nothing to say in the article, and calligraphy and painting lack spirituality. It seems that you are right. Otherwise, why are they still like this after all these years of studying? ”

The cuckoo smiled and gave him a blank look: "Do you think everyone is like you, with such a good talent?" Teaching does matter, though. ”

She thought for a while, organized the language, and then said: "Take making an article as an example, people usually like to use allusions to show that they are knowledgeable; Or directly transcribe sentences from ancient books. It seems profound, but it's not worth half a penny. And those who really have hills and valleys are taboo to use difficult, deep and hidden words; If you want to quote, most of them choose familiar words and phrases, although they are from ancient books, they are no different from street conversations, as long as they meet your needs. Like Li Bai, Du Fu and others, many poems seem to be plain, but the meaning is far-reaching. Unless there are special articles and verses, or people with great talents, try not to pile up beautiful and obscure words and phrases. If you don't use it properly, it's 'not worth half a penny', which is meaningless. ”

This is what she saw in her previous life from a miscellaneous book similar to "The New Language of the World", as if it was written by a Qing Dynasty person.

Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something again, and began to talk about it even more.

This is her professional habit: when she lectures, she does not like to read from the textbook, and often integrates the knowledge she has seen into the content of the lecture and gives full play, so that students do not feel bored after listening.

She remembered Jin Yong's martial arts novels.

Jin Yong's novels are appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar, from high-level cultural people to vulgar citizens, because their content is not only limited to happiness and hatred and bloody spirit, but also integrates the principles of Buddhism and Taoism, and many life insights.

She remembered that in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", Zhang Wuji learned Tai Chi Sword from Zhang Sanfeng, and in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", Ling Hu rushed to Feng Qingyang to learn Dugu Nine Swords, which has the same reasoning.

She said to Lin Chun: "I just reminded you: learning literature is not rigid and does not know how to be flexible. You are very spiritual, and I am afraid that you are bound by various theories. The writings of the saints have been interpreted differently from ancient times to the present, and we can see the strengths of each family, but we cannot be constrained. In fact, it is not the same as learning martial arts. The master taught you boxing or swordsmanship moves, if you don't know how to use them flexibly and flexibly when facing the enemy, you will never be able to improve; If you understand the meaning, you will forget about one move and one style, and send it randomly, to achieve the realm of 'no tricks to win and have moves', and even watch birds and beasts, and create your own martial arts, that is the great achievement. Think about it, isn't it? ”

Lin Chun was already listening attentively, and his eyes were even more radiant at this time.

Huang Li's eyes also widened, and said, "Second sister, I don't know, but you are still a martial arts master." Is it true that there are no tricks to win? Forget it, what else to fight? ”

The cuckoo said, "Of course it's true. My martial arts skills are not high, so I can't compare to show you. Let me give you an example: some people learn to dance, watch the peacock posture for a long time, and create the peacock dance after the most reluctance; The Five Fowl Opera is said to have been created by Hua Tuo. However, whether it is a human or an animal, its posture and movements are ever-changing, and if you stick to a fixed move, you will definitely fall behind; Only by doing what you want and adapting to the situation on the spot is it superior. ”

Lin Chun didn't know why, his mouth grinned.

The cuckoo said angrily: "What do you think, don't you say it yet?" ”

He smiled and said: "When I take the wind up the mountain, I often compete with it, learn to run, pounce, and jump like it, and I feel that the martial arts taught by the master can actually change into many styles." Well, that's what you said. ”

After saying that, he got up, and he didn't see the momentum of pulling the frame, stretched out his arms forward, and a tiger pounced, and actually jumped over the top of the cuckoo's head, and landed a foot behind her lightly, holding the cuckoo's hairpin in his hand.

The cuckoo screamed in surprise and turned his face to glare at him incredulously.

Lin Chun was puzzled by her, and sneered: "I don't understand? ”

The cuckoo shouted, "I'm jealous of you! Why are you so smart? ”

Lin Chun immediately laughed, he especially liked the cuckoo to praise him in this way. Then he went back to his seat and sat down, and returned the hairpin to her.

Huang Li's heart was itchy and uncomfortable, and he asked Lin Chun vigorously how he realized these truths and how to practice.

The cuckoo said angrily: "These things can only be understood but not spoken. If you want him to teach you, you might as well learn what your little uncle taught you thoroughly, and maybe one day you will realize it; If you are greedy and chew more, learn a little from the east and a little from the west, and never think about it. ”

Outside the house, Huang Yuan could hear it.

He thought in a daze, could it be that Lin Chun was taught by the cuckoo?

How did the cuckoo know so much?

Zan Xuji stared ahead with blazing eyes, not knowing what to think.

I heard the cuckoo in the house say again: "The avenues of the world are connected, literature, martial arts, calligraphy and painting, wood carving, and even cooking." Let's just say that I teach them to cook, and they always stare at me to learn the ingredients, watch the heat, etc., and learn one dish is one. But when I saw that they were panning pancakes and heating them up and down at the same time, I came up with several new dishes and snacks right away......"

Huang Li jumped up without waiting for her to finish, and Da Yan couldn't stop laughing.

It turns out that this inn also has a special snack, which is a kind of pancake.

It is baked in a frying pan, and the lid on top is also made of flat bottom, iron, and has a rim, as if it were another layer of pot, and charcoal fire is burned on it. When making the cake, heat it up and down together, and the outer layer of the cake will be charred and crispy.

When the cuckoo saw this thing, he got out the adapted version of the teppanyaki from his previous life, increased the variety of pancakes, and created many new dishes, which he really wanted.

Lin Chun looked at her and smiled, "You're so smart!" ”

He said that when he was a carpenter, no matter what his grandfather taught him, he could think of other things, so he didn't understand what others were so dull and inflexible. (To be continued......)
