Early the next morning, the Changmei Daoist took Li Diudiu to the door of Zhou Huaili's house and waited, and walked over all the way to Li Diudi's house and told him that if he saw the famous Mr. Gao for a while, don't be rude, put away all his, don't be presumptuous.

Li Didiu's face didn't look good, he didn't want to go to the Four Pages Academy, he just wanted to accompany the master.

"Master really doesn't want me anymore?"

"Don't, don't."

Changmei Daoren waved his hand: "I finally have the opportunity to send you out." ”

Li Didiu asked, "Then Master, will you leave Jizhou?" ”

"That ......"

The long-eyebrow Taoist thought about it carefully and shook his head: "That's not going to happen, there is a Wuwei Temple in Jizhou, and the Lord and I are also old friends, after I send you to the academy, I will go to the Taoist Temple to name it, you live your good life, I live my good life." ”

"Oh......"

Li Diudiu lowered his head, and after a while, he tried to squeeze out a smile: "Master, you see, you still need me to take care of you on weekdays, boil water to wash your feet or something, you won't be comfortable without me." ”

"Naturally, there are people in the Taoist temple who boil water for me, and I am of high seniority."

"Master, I can help you show people's faces, you see, how well we cooperated before, seamlessly."

"Lying is not a long-term plan, I will not deceive people again in the future, and you will not deceive people in the future."

"Oh......"

"Master, I'm ......"

"Say no more!"

The tone of the long-eyebrow Daoist suddenly became heavy, and he stared at Li Diudiu's eyes and said word by word: "Can you grow your ambition?" If you have learned and you will have the ability in the future, won't it be good to raise me? ”

"Huh?"

Before, the master said that he didn't want him, but now that he suddenly said that he would learn to raise the master, Li Diudiu suddenly felt a little moved.

"After completing the Four Pages Academy, will you really have a good future?"

"Of course, Mr. Gao of the Four Pages Academy is known as the leader of the scholars in the entire Great Chu, and the disciples he taught are full of talents, and the Jizhou Festival makes Master Zeng a disciple of Mr. Gao, do you say it is powerful? I don't expect you to be a temperance envoy, you just need to have a serious identity. ”

The long-eyebrow Taoist softened his tone: "Master hopes that you can be an upright person." ”

"Okay."

Li Didiu nodded vigorously: "Be an upright person." ”

An hour later, the four-page academy.

Li Diudiu's eyes were not enough after being brought into the door by Zhou Huaili, the academy was very large, pavilions, beautiful everywhere, the most important thing was that the disciples here all looked so clean and exquisite, wearing moon-white uniforms or walking together, or reading under the tree, compared with the homeless people outside the city, this place seemed to be a fairyland, Li Diudiu even gave birth to an illusion, this place is not in the world.

"You have to remember for a while, don't be stage frightened, you can answer whatever Mr. Gao asks, and don't talk nonsense, Mr. Gao doesn't like people without rules."

Zhou Huaili said as he walked: "This time I came with you to see Mr. Gao, one is the eldest grandson of the Jizhou Military Affairs Minister, surnamed Sun, the other is the son of the Tongzhi of Jizhou Mansion, surnamed Liu, and the other is the grandson of the Lord of the Water Affairs Department of Jizhou Prefecture, surnamed Zhang, the three of them ......."

Zhou Huaili looked at Li Diudiu and sighed: "That's it, you do your best." ”

After walking a few steps, he asked again, "What did your master teach you?" ”

"Reading and writing, five elements gossip, word measurement and fortune telling......"

"Alright, alright, don't say it."

Zhou Huaili looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's a pity that the post on the sparrow." ”

Xiao Li said to himself in a very small voice: "There are also medicine, acupuncture, and swordsmanship...... My master is amazing. ”

"No matter how powerful your master is, he still doesn't want to send you to the Four Pages Academy?"

Li Didiuu doesn't like this person named Zhou Huaili, but the master said that since people are helping, you can't put on a stinky face to show others, but Zhou Huaili doesn't like to listen to his master.

"What if my master has the identity of Gao Shaowei?"

He asked Zhou Huaili: "Then does my master still need to ask for someone?" My master may not be inferior to Gao Shaowei, but his background is not up to others. ”

Zhou Huaili stopped, turned his head sideways and said to Li Diudiu: "Are you talking to me?" Do you know who you are? ”

Li Diudiu opened his mouth and endured it.

Zhou Huaili stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the gate of the Four Pages Academy: "If it wasn't for your master who helped me back then, I would have put aside my face and not come to help you ask for favors?" If you're not satisfied, you can turn around and get out, or you shut up. ”

Li Didiuu chose to shut up, and the teenage child told himself in his heart that one day if he got ahead, he would let the master raise his eyebrows.

He followed Zhou Huaili all the way to the academy, which was a separate courtyard, where the world-famous Confucian Gao Shaowei lived, Zhou Huaili asked Li Diudian to wait here, he himself went in first, and when he spoke, his voice was cold as if he was going to beat someone.

After Zhou Huaili entered the study, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the others had not come, and bowed down with a smile: "Sir, I brought the child here." ”

"You wait a while, and I'll evaluate them when everyone arrives."

Gao Shaowei got up and said, "Come, sit down and talk first." ”

Zhou Huaili didn't sit down, he still leaned over and said very humbly: "Sir, this child is lonely, wild, and doesn't speak big or small, but the child is clever and has learned a lot of things. ”

Gao Shaowei glanced at him: "Is it indeed the son of your old man?" ”

"Sort of."

Zhou Huaili said: "That year, I was transferred from Yongqing County to Jizhou to serve, halfway the Neiren was sick and dying, it was the child's master who saved the Neiren, and escorted all the way to Jizhou, this child was an orphan picked up by my old friend, and the friend treated him as his own child. ”

Gao Shaowei sighed: "Mr. Songming's boarding post was also given to you by your old friend, you sent the calligraphy to me for this child." ”

Zhou Huaili said: "Sir, Zen people say that saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, this child has an aura in his eyes, and is willing to endure hardships and be studious, his master saved his life is to win the seventh-level floating slaughter, so what about changing people's lives?" Sir is the one who changed his life, and Sir is the one who changed the life of all the disciples of the academy. ”

Gao Shaowei pondered for a moment and nodded: "If he is indeed a cult material, I don't care about his background, I will leave him in the academy, if he is not worthy of cultivation...... Anyway, I'll leave him to be a handyman in the academy, which is better than sleeping in the open. ”

Zhou Huaili leaned over again: "Thank you, sir." ”

Not long after, those children from extraordinary backgrounds also arrived at the academy one after another, a total of four people, Li Diudiu is the youngest, the oldest is Sun Rugong, among the four people, his family background is the best, after all, his grandfather is a serious four-grade official, Zhang Xiaolin is more than half a head taller than Li Diudiu, it should be a while practicing martial arts, looking quite strong, Liu Shengying and Li Diudiu are about the same, the three children are brightly dressed, Li Diudiu's clothes are all patches but they are cleanly washed, and compared with the three children, they still look like people from two worlds.

"I'll come up with the question, and you can answer whatever comes to mind, and you don't have to worry about it."

Gao Shaowei looked at the four children, waved his hand and said, "Except for the four children, everyone else should go out." ”

Other people's families are encouraging, Zhou Huaili glanced at Li Diudiu, and walked out of the door after only saying a word.

"Don't disgrace your master."

Gao Shaowei sat down and asked the four children to stand in a row in front of him, he pondered for a moment and said, "The first question, if you travel alone and encounter injustices on the road, should you take care of it or not?" ”

Zhang Xiaolin was the first to answer: "Of course, you have to take care of the unevenness of the road, and you are born as a useful body, if you don't even dare to manage the unevenness, then what guts can you have to go into battle to kill the enemy in the future?" ”

Sun Rugong smiled and said: "That's the courage of a reckless man, of course you have to take care of the unevenness, but you can't act rashly, first judge the cause of the matter and then talk about the things that don't matter, you have to use your brain." ”

Liu Shengying said: "I'm still young, I should go home and tell my family, or report to the official." ”

Gao Shaowei looked at Li Diudiu, who didn't speak, waiting for the kid to give an answer.

Li Diudiu pondered for a moment and replied: "If you can manage it, you can manage it, and if you can't manage it, you don't care." ”

Gao Shaowei frowned.

The other three children all looked at Li Diudiu, all with contempt, and Li Diudiu's words seemed to them to be nonsense.

Gao Shaowei shook his head and continued: "The second question, if I give you one tael of silver each, but let you buy something worth five taels of silver, will you buy it?" ”

Sun Rugong said: "What Mr. wants to buy, why should Mr. pay for it?" ”

Liu Shengying said: "I have to go home and ask my father and mother if they can give me some more silver." ”

Zhang Xiaolin said: "Don't say five taels, ten taels will be bought." ”

Li Diuti shook his head: "Sir, if this is the kind of gentleman, why should I come to the academy?" ”

Gao Shaowei frowned again.

"The third question, do you think it is important to practice literature or martial arts?"

This time, the three children replied in unison: "Xiwen is important. ”

Even Zhang Xiaolin, who has practiced martial arts since childhood, did not choose to answer the question of practicing martial arts.

Li Diudiu was still thinking carefully, the master said that he couldn't talk nonsense, and Zhou Huaili also said that he couldn't talk nonsense, so he thought about each question seriously several times before answering.

"Martial arts."

Li Didiu replied.

The three children looked at Li Diudiu again, this time there was not only contempt on their faces, but also sympathy, this is the academy but he said that martial arts is important, such a stupid answer is only such a wild boy will say, practice literature and govern things, this is one of the two sentences written on the shadow wall of the academy.

Cultivating virtue is based on self-cultivation, and governing things by learning literature.

Great Chu governs the country with literature, people say that those who practice literature control people, and practice martial arts control people, although Great Chu established the country with martial arts, but that was hundreds of years ago, the highest civil official is a product, or even a super product, but the military generals to the extreme are only three products, and Chu has not had a military attache above three grades for hundreds of years.

"Since you want to practice martial arts, why did you come to the academy?"

Gao Shaowei looked into Li Diudu's eyes and asked.

"My master wants me to come."

Li Didiu replied truthfully.

Gao Shaowei's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, this kid ...... He didn't like it a little, but my master wanted me to come, and he wanted this child to leave now.

But he still asked one more question: "Why do you think it is important to practice martial arts?" ”

Li Diudiu was silent for a moment and replied: "The three of them think that Xi Wen is important because they don't need to practice martial arts, and they will have someone to protect them when they travel, I'm different, I can't protect myself if I don't practice martial arts, I can't protect my master if I don't practice martial arts, my master is very old, he could carry me on his back ten years ago, and now he needs to walk on crutches." ”

Then he added: "It's too easy to read, and it's a little more difficult to practice martial arts." ”

Gao Shaowei, who had just softened his face a little, immediately opened his eyes: "It's easy to read?!" Don't be too arrogant when talking to children! ”
