Wuyang Han, deeply influenced by Confucian education thoughts, has particularly strict requirements for etiquette, and is a bit inconsistent with etiquette. Although Han Cheng didn't care much about this, after all, he was still an eight-year-old child, so it was better not to be too out of line, and the other reason was that the hand-playing board really hurt.

Uncle Han Fu was summoned in the study today, and he didn't know what was going on. It's better to be honest, follow the rules taught by etiquette, and respectfully meet you.

"Come in." A neutral male voice came.

Hearing the reply of the master of the study, the two brothers entered the study without hesitation.

As soon as he entered the door, Xiao Han Ye didn't react, Han Cheng knelt directly on the ground, and before Han Fu could react, he kowtowed three times with a bang, and shouted: Long live uncle.

Originally, Han Fu's eyes were squinted, but when he saw Han Cheng's actions, a glimmer of light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he reprimanded him seriously: "You kid, who taught you etiquette, isn't this nonsense, is it a casual shout?" Next time, I will definitely break your legs and expel you from the Han family. It's really unlearned, unskilled, and foolish. ”

Han Cheng thought silently in his heart: "Yes, slap the horse's hooves." The uncle didn't say anything to get himself up, and he didn't dare to raise his head, so he could only bow his head first and kneel in place.

After a while, a gentle voice came: "Get up first, don't kneel." ”

Han Cheng stood up, and then he saw his uncle, which was also the first time he saw the first famous person in this era.

He is more than six feet long, wearing a green scarf, a white brocade robe, a purple belt around his waist, a white and beautiful beard, deep eyes, and from time to time showing a hint of sternness, and the breath of a person who has been in a position for a long time is revealed between his hands.

"Why are you suddenly shouting hooray, you kid? Who taught you etiquette? ”

Han Cheng hurriedly replied: "Back to my uncle's words, my nephew recently read a book, and I saw a sentence in the book: When you see the person you think you respect the most, you must kowtow three times and shout long live." When the nephew saw his uncle, he couldn't help but think of this, and then he did it in a daze."

Although Han Fu was very angry, he turned around and thought about it, so obviously patting his own ass, although he patted it on the horse's hooves, but no matter what, he was also a filial junior, and his heart fluctuated a little instantly. In this era, virtue is the most important, and "filial piety comes first" is nothing that can make the elders more comfortable than filial piety of the younger generation.

However, there is a problem with sycophancy. Han Fu has lived in the court for a long time, and his mind has long been very sensitive. Then a serious voice sounded: "Cheng'er, tell me, what is the name of the book you read recently, my uncle has read thousands of volumes, why didn't you see this sentence you said?" ”

Han Cheng had a black line on his face and replied, "This... My nephew has been feeling a little sick lately and has forgotten the book. Han Fu heard this excuse and smiled slightly.

"This kid, reading is really with his father, what do you read? Taken out of context, full of nonsense, this word spreads, the Han family is not being killed by the whole family, and the nine clans are punished. Han Fu thought to himself.

Han Fu's heart was full of depression, so he stepped aside, picked up his five-year-old biological son Han Ye, and said softly to Han Ye: "Ye'er, what have you been reading recently?" ”

"Back to my father's words, Ye'er has been reading "Spring and Autumn" recently."

"My karma is so good, I've read "Spring and Autumn", didn't I write to your mother and ask her to teach you to read "Analects" first? How do you read "Spring and Autumn"? While speaking, Han Fu kept looking at his son with gentle eyes, with approval and love in his eyes.

"My father, my mother taught me to read the Analects last year, and I started reading the Spring and Autumn Period after reading the Analects. Why don't I recite it to you: Zi said: "Learn and learn from time to time, don't you also say it?" Have friends come from afar, are you happy? People don't know and are not ashamed, and they are not gentlemen?。。 ”

"Your mother taught you well." After listening to Han Ye reciting the "Analects" for a while, Han Fu nodded with satisfaction and said.

Han Fu turned around and said to Han Cheng: "Cheng'er, you are not too young, uncle has already read dozens of books when you are your age, I have a good relationship with the contemporary Confucian Zheng Xuan, why don't I write a letter and recommend you to study under him." Through the meeting just now, Han Fu had a consideration for this nephew in his heart and asked these words.

"Back to my uncle's words, my nephew has a headache when he reads a book, and he really doesn't want to read. The nephew wanted to be the champion of the Han Dynasty, and at the age of seventeen, he led 800 people into the desert and won the whole army. Han Cheng replied respectfully.

But I thought in my heart: I'm stupid, although I don't know that year, but it's fast, and the era of troubled times is coming, if it's a peaceful era, it's okay to study and be an official, in this era of war and horse strife, what's the use of studying by yourself? Be a strategist for people and govern one side? is still reliable in learning martial arts, at least he can escape with his life. If you are a scholar who can't ride a horse or hold it in your hands, if you run into a very unreasonable soldier, won't you really die?

"In this era, there are still people who don't like to read, don't you know how to read to be an official? The child ... ”

Han Fu pondered for a while, quietly looked at Han Cheng who was standing aside, sighed and said, "Alas, your father said the same thing back then. ”

Han Fu then changed his serious look: "Cheng'er, now you need to be recommended by the state and county magistrates to be officials, and you need to be a county magistrate to be a county magistrate, and your uncle knows a lot of county magistrates, as long as you study hard, you will definitely be able to mix a half-official position, even if you are not good at studying, at least you can mix a county magistrate and a county magistrate; If you are lucky, you can make a few meritorious contributions, and it is not difficult to be a Taishou.

And when you learn martial arts, you have to work several times more hard than studying, not to mention, every promotion can only be obtained by fighting hard again and again, and it is all exchanged for blood and sweat.

You are also so old, you can understand the reason, think about it carefully, is it better to study or learn martial arts? Of course, whether you are studying or learning martial arts, your uncle will find you the best teacher to let you succeed in your studies. ”

Han Chengxin said: "If I was really an eight-year-old child, or I didn't know that there would be a chaotic era of competition for domination of the world, maybe I would really study, but time doesn't wait for me, in this era of war and chaos, it is still reliable to learn martial arts." ”

So, he said: "Cheng'er Uncle Xie is very loving, although Cheng'er has little reading, he also understands his uncle's love and care, but his nephew aims to become a great general like the champion, and wants to go deep into the desert, attack the Huns, and guard the frontier for the Han Dynasty, please Uncle Cheng." ”

Han Cheng's lofty ideal, in Han Fu's opinion, is still a little immature. Maybe it's a child's heroic dream, let him go, maybe after a few months, knowing the hard work of martial arts, Cheng'er will no longer insist.

said: "Okay, Cheng'er, since you want to become a general like the champion, my uncle will definitely help, it just so happens that I have some friendship with Wang Min, the assassin of Jingzhou, I will write a letter to see if he has any unscrupulous generals under him, and I can guide you, so that you can achieve something on the road to learning martial arts." ”
