The next day was Zhu Hao's birthday, Zhu Shouyi was low-key, and did not make a big fanfare, but prepared a family banquet, inviting a few relatives who often come and go, his son's two teachers and a few close friends.

Before the banquet, Zhu Shouyi introduced a few people that Zhu Hao didn't know, and he secretly observed that an old man in his fifties who always brushed his beard was his teacher, Yangzhou Confucian Min Tingjing. The old man shook his head and looked smug, and Zhu Hao didn't like it at a glance.

Under the old man is an old man with a short beard who is nearly sixty years old, his eyes are shining, and his body is not majestic, but it gives people a sense of oppression, which is the old man Liu Zhenshan of Xingyi Boxing, he has inquired, the old man Liu has a high status in the rivers and lakes, and a set of Xingyi Boxing beats all over Jianghuai invincible, although the momentum is compelling, it feels like a righteous body. Zhu Hao couldn't help but nod secretly.

Sitting on the main seat was a fat man, in his fifties, with a fat body, a pair of small eyes looking at himself with a smile, Zhu Hao's heart trembled for a while, this is his future father-in-law, how can he grow this virtue, Lao Tzu's future daughter-in-law can be tens of millions......

"Don't kowtow to a few elders yet!" Zhu Hao, who was having a bitter face, was awakened by his father's words, and hurriedly kowtowed. The banquet officially began.

During the banquet, everyone pushed the cup and changed the lamp, but the great Confucian Min Tingjing shook his head and looked arrogant, which made Zhu Hao look angry. That Min Tingjing also seemed to feel his gaze, snorted, rolled his eyes, and said: "I heard that the little boy has already studied, I don't know how his homework is, the old man has to take the test." ”

Except for him, everyone at the table was not from the imperial examination, although they were secretly unhappy with this old man, but Da Ming has always valued literature over martial arts, and he has respected scholars, and it is not easy to wipe his face. "Then ask the teacher to come up with the question, Hao'er, you have to work hard to answer." Zhu Shouyi was also quite helpless.

Although Zhu Hao is a college student, he is not a student of Chinese studies, and he is young and his mind is not on the imperial examination, so this article is naturally so-so. When I was worried, I suddenly heard the Min master say: "Do you know how many ways to write the fennel character of this fennel bean?" ”

With a "poof", Zhu Hao, who was drinking tea to cover himself, suddenly squirted out a mouthful of tea! Nima's, what is the situation, could it be that Kong Yiji has also crossed over?

Zhu Shouyi saw his expression, frowned slightly, and said, "Why is the teacher so rude when he asks you." Zhu Hao hurriedly calmed down, secretly thinking that he couldn't get rid of you, an old man, rolled his eyes, cleared his throat and said: "As far as I know, there are four ways to write fennel, which are like this, like this, like this, and ......" While speaking, he dipped in tea and wrote four fennel characters on the table.

Seeing him so "erudite", everyone couldn't help but praise him, and even Master Min was a little surprised. Zhu Hao didn't want to let go of this opportunity, and arched his hand and said: "Teachers, uncles, elders, although the kid was lucky enough to answer the teacher's question, he couldn't be happy. ”

Everyone was surprised and asked one after another.

"That kid is rude, dare to ask the teacher, no matter how many ways this word is written, is this very important? Is it necessary to learn all of this? Master Min was stunned for a moment and said, "This, this......"

"It's like a person who is sick and has the simplest and most effective way to cure him, but he takes many detours and finds several different methods, and these methods are useless except for curing the person's disease, wasting time and energy on these things, do you think it is useful?" Zhu Hao said eloquently, not caring at all that Master Min was constantly wiping his sweat.

"If all the lessons I have learned are like this, then what's the point, isn't it just something that takes four days to learn only one day, life is just a few decades, even if we learn old, we only get ten or eight years of real learning, but we have wasted most of our lives."

Except for Master Min, the rest of the people are not real readers, and they can't help nodding secretly when they are attracted by his novel theory at this time, and the old man Liu Zhenshan of Xingyi Fist has a lot of praise in his eyes, and he forgot for a while why he made such remarks at a young age.

Min Tingjing was robbed of his strange words, and when he saw that several people around him refused to help, he was annoyed and angry, and stood up and said: "The son is a genius, and the old man doesn't dare to teach him, so as not to say that he is a mistaken disciple and say goodbye." After speaking, he waved his sleeves and left angrily.

Everyone had long been quite impatient with this sour Confucian, and Gu all sat down, only Zhu Shouyi stood up to send him off.

Back at the table, Zhu Shouyi didn't think he was angry, as if he was moved by his son's words, and said: "In this case, I will recommend a teacher for you another day for my father, and now you should worship Old Man Liu first." ”

Although Zhu Hao was skeptical about the martial arts described in later generations, he still had great respect for the old man Liu, who was both virtuous and artistic, and knelt on the ground and said, "Master is above, please accept the apprentice's worship." ”

Liu Zhenshan looked at Zhu Hao's apprenticeship with a smile, and he was already happy with this prospective disciple in his heart, this kid is rare and clever, not conformist, and is a good material for martial arts. Liu Zhenshan concentrated on learning martial arts when he was young, and he made great achievements in martial arts, and also created such a huge family business as Zhenshan Dart Bureau, but he failed to come up with too much energy to teach his two sons, and could only rely on their own talents, the eldest son Liu Fanghai had mediocre qualifications and had begun to operate the Dart Bureau, but the younger son Liu Fangze was a good material for practicing martial arts.

After Zhu Hao finished worshipping, Liu Zhenshan said solemnly: "You worship my disciples, but I am my closed disciple, although I am a person in the rivers and lakes, but I also know the way of loyalty and righteousness, my disciples should take Kuang Shi to help the people as their own responsibility, and never do unrighteous things." "Yes, disciple knows." Zhu Hao said awe-inspiringly.

"In addition, although you have a certain amount of martial arts, but you have passed the excellent age of building a foundation, I will only pass on your martial arts for one year, and what you will achieve in the future depends on your own creation. I have a little grandson who is the same age as you, so you two can learn art together and be companions. ”

"Yes, thank you, Master."

The apprenticeship etiquette has been decided, everyone began to push the cup and change the lamp again, and the banquet ended in a cheerful atmosphere, but Zhu Hao was stared at by the smiling eyes of his future father-in-law, and he was very uncomfortable.
