In the evening, Gao Jing and Gao Yao's mother came to the study under the pretext of reading after dinner, and ordered their subordinates to stay outside the door, so they took out the books they sent today, and read the "University" carefully first. Gao Jing thought excitedly: If this is the case, he will be able to memorize the content of the Four Books and Five Classics in a few days, but the calligraphy is still weak and weak, and he can't participate in the imperial examination, what should he do with this extra time? Can you learn more useful things? But even if he has any ideas, he can't put them into practice as a child, so forget it, let's ask my father for advice!

"Mingquan, is my father back?" Gao Jing asked.

"Back to the young master, the third master arrived home two quarters of an hour ago, and now he is in the study." Mingquan bowed and replied.

"You come with me to my father!" Gao Jing said as he walked.

As soon as he arrived at the door of his father's study, his father's personal attendant Qingfeng greeted him and greeted him cordially: "Young Master, why are you here?" ”

"I have something to do with my father, can you tell me about it?" Gao Jing asked.

"Jing'er, you come in directly," Father Gao's voice came from inside the room.

"Mingquan, you stay outside the door." Gao Jing commanded.

Gao Jing walked into the study and closed the door and immediately saluted Gao's father, who raised his head and asked, "Jing'er, what's the matter?" ”

"Father, I may never forget it!" Gao Jing said as he apologized in his heart for hiding his ability to teach his father from him. It's really Gao Jing who thinks that being self-taught is too shocking, and it's better to keep it secret.

"But really?" Father Gao asked eagerly.

"Dad can test it with a book I haven't read!" I replied.

"You shouldn't have learned "The Mean" yet, I'll read it once, and you will repeat it after listening to it!" Father Gao demanded that "the mandate of heaven is the nature, the spontaneity is the way, and the cultivation is the teaching......"

"The predicate of the Mandate of Heaven is sexuality, the predicate of recklessness is the Tao, and the predicate of cultivation is teaching. Those who are also in the Tao do not need to be separated from it, but they can be separated, and they are not ...... in the Tao," Gao Jing repeated.

"It's all right!" Father Gao walked around the study excitedly, "Jing'er, this is a good thing!" ”

"Father, I know this is a good thing, I read the four books and five classics once and memorize them all, the test Xiucai only tests recitation and interpretation, I can understand all of them in a few days, but my calligraphy is too poor, I can't take the county exam, I need a few years to practice calligraphy well, so what do I do in the past few years? You can't always read the Four Books and the Five Classics, right? Gao Jing said impatiently.

"And what do you have in mind?" Father Gao asked.

"It is said that the six arts of a gentleman, but I have not achieved it now, I want to learn guqin, chess, painting and riding archery while practicing calligraphy, and ask my father to invite a famous teacher for me." Gao Jing trayed out the thoughts that had been brewing in his heart for a long time.

"Can you take care of all this after learning so much?" Father Gao asked worriedly.

"I'll try my best to balance, learning these things will be of great use to my son's future communication." Gao Jing thought as he spoke: He must be able to take care of it, he has learned Go and painting in modern times, how can he use it openly without finding a source? He only needs to learn guqin and riding archery, and he has studied piano in modern times, and the music theory is the same, and the guqin is not a problem for him!

"I'll discuss it with your grandfather, you go back first!" Father Gao commanded.

"Yes, father," Gao Jing saluted and took Mingquan back to his courtyard.

The next day, Gao Jing was called to Gao's father's study as soon as he returned home from the school, and Grandpa Gao and Gao's father were there, Grandpa Gao probably took out the "Book of Songs" and asked Gao Jing to listen to him read it and retell it immediately, when Gao Jing retold it word for word, Grandpa Gao was excited and rubbed his hands for a long time before coming back to his senses, "Jing'er, when did you find that you never forgot it?" ”

"Hehe, it won't be long......" Gao Jing said at a loss.

"Is it for fun, I haven't said it all the time?" Father Gao glared.

"Father......" Gao Jing lowered his head and covered up, saying that the reason that Dad was looking for was good, and it was very in line with the character of the original owner.

"Okay, it's normal for children to be playful, and Jing'er is only eight years old now, so it's still too late." Grandpa Gao reassured.

"Jing'er, sir, I'll look for it first, it may take a while, after all, a good gentleman is not good to please." Grandpa Gao said in a low voice.

"Okay, thank you grandpa!" Gao Jing thanked him.

"But sir, please come here, your eldest brother and second brother are also going to study with you, do you know?" Grandpa Gao asked meaningfully.

"Yes, my eldest brother and second brother are brothers!" Gao Jing replied.

"You are all my grandsons, and I want to treat them all equally, so that I can avoid brotherly jealousy. And it is better for brothers to support each other than to fight alone. Grandpa Gao said earnestly.

"I understand, grandpa." Gao Jing replied sincerely.

When Grandpa Gao saw that he really understood, he caressed Gao Jing's head and let him go back.

"Xing'er, don't tell anyone else about Jing'er's unforgettable things, and you have to be stricter with him in the future, I don't want things to happen to Jing'er!" Grandpa Gao said sternly after Gao Jing left.

"My son knows!" Father Gao assured.

A month passed in a hurry, and Gao Jing didn't see a master, so he thought about waiting for another 3 days, if grandpa didn't have any news, he would urge him again! Just thinking about it, Grandpa Gao sent a housekeeper to invite him.

Gao Jing walked into his grandfather's study and found that there were only three people: "Grandpa, where is the master you found for us?" ”

"Master just arrived today, I'll let them rest for a day first," Grandpa Gao replied, "I called you here today, I explained it in advance."

"What's the matter?" Gao Jing wondered.

"The master I invited you is a husband and wife, named Xie Ting and Wang Yu, Mr. Xie is a jinshi of the previous dynasty, but he changed the dynasty within two years of entering the dynasty, most of these former dynasty officials are not allowed to be reused, Mr. felt bored and resigned and returned to his hometown, but when there was an accident on the way back to his hometown, I rescued their family to invite him to teach you the Four Books and Five Classics." Grandpa Gao took a sip of tea and said, "This lady of his, the piano skills are quite superb, so I invited you to teach the guqin as well." ”

"Is there only the master who teaches the Four Books and the Five Classics and the Guqin?" Gao Yu asked.

"What's the hurry, I haven't finished yet!" Grandpa Gao said loudly, "Master Cavalry is a disciple of the Wudang Sect that Grandpa saved when he went out on an errand before, because of the grace of saving his life, he has promised me that he can teach you the Wudang Sect exercises, but it is not the core exercises." ”

"It can't be a very ordinary exercise!" Gao Jing asked.

"No, it's a special practice for the disciples of Wudang Mountain, but it's divided into levels, tomorrow he will touch your roots and bones, and teach the exercises according to your qualifications." Grandpa Gao explained, "There are also chess masters and painting masters who were introduced by the master of Wudang Mountain, and they have all won awards in the Jianghu Go and painting competitions!" ”

"Grandpa, they are so powerful, how could they come to the small county town to be a Xixi? There must be a lot of people who invite them! Gao Jing was puzzled.

"The friendship of Master Wudang Mountain is on the one hand, and on the other hand, of course, the silver is in place," Grandpa Gao explained, "Grandpa spent so much to invite the master to teach you knowledge and skills, I hope you can study hard and don't live up to grandpa's hard work!" ”

"Yes, Grandpa!" Gao Lang, Gao Yu, and Gao Jing said together.

"Then go back, you don't have to go to the school in the future, you will go to the study room in the outer courtyard from tomorrow onwards, don't miss the hour!" Grandpa Gao said.

Gao Lang, Gao Yu, and Gao Jing saluted together and said goodbye!
