From the next day, the two sisters went to Mr. Lian together, although Lin Yueniang didn't like to read very much, but she also wanted to see how the world-famous Mr. Lian taught, plus Lin Yuniang went, she was really bored alone, so she went together.

Even the old gentleman didn't let them do anything special, just read with Zhang Wensi. Zhang Wensi is 8 years old this year, and although he is smart, his foundation is not very good. The two of them read together, and even the old gentleman asked them to read the first three chapters of the Analects.

Lin Yuniang took out the energy she had in the college entrance examination to read, as far as reading is concerned, adults are better than children, because adults have better comprehension skills. She is good at memorizing herself, and some articles are still memorized by her in her previous life, so the speed is naturally very fast. Zhang Wensi saw that he had also read "The Analects", but after all, he was young, so he naturally did not memorize as fast as Lin Yuniang.

As soon as Lin Yuniang finished memorizing it, she tried to translate it herself, she had read the paraphrase before. I felt that it was okay, the interpretation and the characters were clear, so I said to Mr. Lian: "Sir, the student has finished reading." ”

Even the old gentleman was really reading on the surface, but Lin Yuniang memorized it really fast, and he paused unconsciously, wanting to see how many pieces she could memorize. Now when I hear Lin Yuniang say this, I want to defeat her prestige, worried that she is too proud: "It's all memorized?" Do you know what it means? Of course, this is what he is proud of! He planned that if Lin Yuniang asked her for advice, he would let her read it a few more times, the so-called "read a hundred times, and its meaning will be self-revealed".

Lin Yuniang immediately saw that Mr. Lian was planning to make things difficult for her, and she said calmly: "Most of them know, I have read the paraphrase before." ”

Even the old gentleman was taken aback, he remembered the meaning after reading the paraphrase before? He asked Lin Yuniang a few words, and Lin Yuniang translated. He did not give up, and continued to ask: "Zigong said, Confucius Ziwen, good, courteous, and thrifty, let him get the qualification of being a state, he will hear about his government, you tell me your understanding of this sentence." ”

This is no longer dependent on translation, Lin Yuniang said: "As for the state, it must be heard of its government, not everyone can, Zigong said that Confucius's method of obtaining qualifications is different from others, that is of course." Because Confucius did not rely on the kindness of the kings of various countries, but his own personality charm. Because of his knowledge, the kings of various countries voluntarily let Confucius know about the government. ”

"Charisma? That's a good word. "Mr. Lian is very satisfied. Originally, he called them over, but he just gave himself another chance, not because he had much expectations for Lin Yuniang. As a result, Lin Yuniang's performance surprised him. Although he is not a prodigy with ten lines at a glance, of course, Mr. Lian does not believe that there is such a prodigy, because he can't do it himself. But Lin Yuniang memorized the book quickly, and could understand the meaning, and finally had her own opinions. No matter what the opinion is, but for a 5-year-old girl, it's okay to say a prodigy.

Although he already wanted to take in the apprentices, he still didn't show it. He only planned to accept a female apprentice, so naturally he wanted the best, and he had to observe and observe. He turned to Zhang Wensi: "Have you finished reciting?" ”

Zhang Wensi was hit hard this time, he was smart by nature, and he was also one of the best among the noble children in the capital, and he was very diligent, far more than other children. As a result, now that he met a little girl who was far superior to him in learning, he had no courage and said, "The student has memorized the first two articles." ”

Even the old gentleman did not criticize him: "Then you continue to carry it, don't be weak-hearted." He asked Lin Yueniang again, not to mention Lin Yueniang, she didn't like to study, she was basically looking at Lin Yuniang with a "wow" expression throughout the whole process, she didn't like to read, and rarely saw Lin Yuniang read, today I knew that her sister was like this when she was studying, her spirit was uplifted, much better than usual. It was only today that I learned that my sister actually read very well.

Both sisters were given a chance to rest, and they sat there drinking tea and watching Zhang Wensi read alone. Zhang Wensi read absent-mindedly at first, but after a few minutes, he still concentrated. Lin Yuniang was hit again, why did the ancient children have such a good heart!

Among the children she knows, Lin Yueniang needless to say, is calm and generous, and is kind to others. Lin Fangniang is also kind-hearted, sometimes Lin Yuniang doesn't want to talk to people, so she will sit there silently alone, Lin Fangniang will always bring Lin Yuniang with her and blend in with the sisters. Lin Chuniang is a bookworm, but she doesn't ignore her chores. Although Lin Qingniang is young and has a big temperament, she only talks about it verbally, and when she encounters any good things, she will not forget Lin Yuniang's share.

Wen Xing, who often comes to their house, is smart and steady, has a pair of skillful hands, and the most important thing is that she is neither humble nor arrogant, although she came to their house to make money, but she is not flattering, but has become friends with several sisters. Now I met Zhang Wensi, the son of the Hou Mansion, even if he likes to read, it is nothing to be able to play Go, and he can still calm down to study when he is lagging behind, which really makes Lin Yuniang ashamed.

She thought about it, and among the children she knew, it seemed that she was the only one with the worst temperament! Small-minded, jealous, and unkind to sisters. Lin Yuniang is so disappointed in herself!

Mr. Lian saw that Lin Yuniang's mood suddenly became low, and he felt strange, so he called her out of the door. Mr. Lian looked at Lin Yuniang and asked, "You are much better at reading today than Zhang Wensi, why are you not happy?" ”

Lin Yuniang saw that even the old gentleman was much older than her psychologically and physically, so she was willing to confide in him: "The student just found that although the Zhang family's brother was not as good as me, he was not arrogant or impatient, and he still worked his own, and felt that he was not as good as the Zhang family's brother." ”

Mr. Lian carefully observed Lin Yuniang's face and found that there was no trace of fraud, it was actually her true words. Even the old gentleman was worried, at first he was afraid that Lin Yuniang would be too proud, and now he was worried that she would be arrogant, he said, "Then you can't do it?" ”

Lin Yuniang thought to herself, she can do it now, she really couldn't do it when she was really only 8 years old, but she couldn't tell Mr. Lian like this, she said: "The student doesn't know, the student just thinks that if I encounter this situation, I will definitely be unhappy." ”

Mr. Lian said: "It's normal to be unhappy, everyone is an ordinary person, of course they will be unhappy, wasn't Zhang Wensi unhappy just now." Since you know it's not good, there's a better way, it's good that you're always the first. ”

Lin Yuniang was surprised: "Isn't there no first in Wen and no second in Wu?" ”

Even the old gentleman is unhappy, what do you mean? Am I not number one in your heart? Of course, he knows his own temper, although he is unhappy, he will not get angry, there is no reason to be angry, he just said: "You are a girl, and you don't want to take the top prize, as long as you exceed most people." ”

Even the old gentleman thinks of himself quite high in his life, of course, he is really tall, estimated at 1.8 meters (just kidding), he has always felt that he is the first in Dachang in knowledge, but Lin Yuniang actually didn't think so, he comforted him, and he didn't want to say it, so he came directly into the room.

Lin Yuniang is actually not afraid of being surpassed, she doesn't have that self-motivation at all. She just felt that she had a bad personality, and when she came out to blow the wind, the depression in her heart dissipated.
