Butler Wang accompanied, accompanied by the two easts, Qiu Fuzi squinted at the green mountains and green waters in front of him, looked at the quiet morning cooking smoke of the riverside people, was in a good mood, and suddenly became poetic, stroked his long beard twice, and thought about the words and sentences, Qiu Fuzi was stuck. Brushing the long beard twice, the poetry is gone, and I suddenly feel that life is uneasy.

But fortunately, he thought it was a chore, and he went to Shunyang, Nanxiang and other poor rural areas, and the only thing that satisfied him was the restraint that Zheng Xiongzhi gave him. As a result, I went up the Danshui River, and there were beautiful scenery as far as the eye could see, so I had the right to go out and travel.

Qiu Fuzi thought that if that student was more obedient, everything would be perfect. But thinking of the description of the child by the Zheng clan, Qiu Fuzi did not have too high expectations for the new student.

"Master, it's here." Steward Wang pointed with his hand, "My family lives in that courtyard." ”

"It's a secluded and elegant place." Qiu Fuzi said with a smile.

Steward Wang knocked on the door, and the sound of knocking on the wooden door echoed in the small courtyard.

"Who?" Qiu Fuzi saw a little girl running out and opened the door, "Steward Wang, are you here so early?" ”

"Can the prince get up early? Today is the day of his apprenticeship, so he can't be lazy. Steward Wang said.

"Shizi got up early and went out...... Ran went. Qing'er said in a low voice.

Steward Wang's eyes were dark, he stabilized his mind, and said to Master Qiu with a smile: "My family is good at martial arts, and he has the style of a marquis. ”

Qiu Fuzi smiled reluctantly: "It is worthy of being a general." ”

Zheng Donggu on the side said: "Actually, otherwise, I see that the method exercised by the prince of the world, the effect is just to strengthen the body, it can be slightly stronger than ordinary people, and it is really ...... on the battlefield."

"Enough!" Steward Wang snorted, he really looked away, this Zheng Donggu is usually honest and simple, and he doesn't say a word, is this taking the wrong medicine today?

Steward Wang looked at Qing'er: "The prince knows that he is going to apprentice today, shouldn't he take a bath and meditate, and can't he stop exercising for a day?" ”

Qing'er is speechless, do you want to take a bath before apprenticing? Want to meditate? Want to take a day off from exercising? Didn't Shizi say it?

Steward Wang was ashamed and said to the blue-faced Master Qiu: "It was the old slave who was negligent, and the old slave forgot to remind the prince." I also asked the master to go indoors and rest first. ”

He turned to Qing'er and said, "Qing'er, go and get the son back." Wait a minute, you tell Higashiya and let him go. ”

Qing'er pointed in the direction, "Shizi follows that road into the mountain every day. "Higashiya went.

Qing'er was in a hurry, she wanted to invite Master Qiu into the study to rest, she wanted to help everyone move their luggage in, settle down temporarily, and serve tea to Master Zi......

Qing'er is alone, and she can't be busy splitting her in half, Qing'er thinks sadly: Shizi, come back quickly! Qing'er is going to be tired to death!

Fortunately, there is still a winter leaf, she is on the job, and finally helps Qing'er share most of the pressure. quickly dealt with things one by one, which made Qing'er admire her a little.

After waiting for a while, Zheng Sheng and the four finally came back.

Steward Wang breathed a sigh of relief: "Master, apprenticeship......"

"After bathing and changing the child, come and see me first, and then talk about anything else." Qiu Fuzi said lightly.

"That's fine." Steward Wang's face changed, and he thought to himself that this sour Confucian was afraid that he was not satisfied.

Steward Wang apologized and came to the backyard to find Zheng Sheng. Zheng Sheng is changing into a dress.

"Shizi, the old slave said yesterday, today the teacher came over, why did you still run out?"

Zheng Sheng said lightly: "Steward Wang, you said that the teacher would come over, but you didn't say when you would come?" It's not yet time. I counted the hours, I don't think you will come so soon, and I didn't expect you to come so early, you set off at the end of the day, right? ”

Steward Wang was very embarrassed, indeed, they got up early today. Because Mr. Qiu got up early, Mr. Qiu said that he was in a hurry early in the morning and could enjoy the beautiful scenery in the morning, so he came early.

Zheng Sheng was in a very unhappy mood, originally early this morning, he taught Qing'er how to use filter paper, and he was very happy. But during the run, when he met Higashiya, his mood was not good. When I got home, I heard Qing'er say that she was going to worship her teacher and officially worship her teacher, and I felt even worse.

Although Master Qiu was found by Zheng Yuan, the old man would not cheat him; Mrs. Wang also agreed, but Zheng Sheng couldn't accept apprenticing to a stranger. He knew that in this era, after performing the apprenticeship ceremony, he really had to serve as a father.

He didn't even want to recognize his father Zheng Tan, who couldn't solve the family dispute, left a lot of chicken feathers, and took the opportunity to run away. Let him worship a stranger as a teacher? Treat him like a father? If he is really a complete sour Confucian, won't he be pitted to death? Therefore, Zheng Sheng wants to investigate.

When he told Steward Wang about his thoughts, Steward Wang was dumbfounded.

"Didn't you already agree to apprenticeship yesterday?"

"Yesterday, Steward Wang, you said that you invited a Xixi to teach me to read, I thought it was the kind that didn't need to be apprenticed."

Steward Wang has nothing to say, this is really a pair of wonderful masters and apprentices. The bundle is closed, and in the end the students are going to be examined? The teachers are here, and they refuse to formally apprentice, so they want to see if the teacher is suitable? Alas, go, and see, and see.

This was the first meeting between Zheng Sheng and Qiu Chudao.

The first time Qiu Fuzi saw Zheng Sheng, well, he didn't look like a frivolous person who only cared about fun.

Zheng Sheng saw Qiu Chudao for the first time, a thin old man, and it was so.

However, because their impression was too low before the meeting, they pulled back some points for each other's evaluation after the meeting.

"Your name is Zheng Sheng, and you are seven years old this year?"

"Hmm." Zheng Sheng replied weakly.

"Listen to your mother, you have a small character, called Kewu?"

"Yes."

"Do you know the origin of your name, and why there is a small character of Kewu." Qiu Fuzi stroked his beard and thought that the Zheng family was easy to become a high-ranking official, and he preached it everywhere on weekdays. This kid listened more at home, and looking at the extent of his narration, he could see a lot of things, and Qiu Chudao was very proud of the wonderful method he came up with in a flash.

Zheng Sheng sighed in his heart, he was tired of listening, he still had to say it from beginning to end today?

"My name and small characters were given by my father, Zheng Sheng Zheng Kewu, why is it called this name, it is because ......"

Zheng Sheng said it roughly, and his mouth was dry.

Qiu Chudao quietly hid the beard that he had accidentally pulled off just now, and put away his shocked look, "Not bad, not bad." It's organized and the narrative is clear. Has anyone told you about it? You also memorized it. ”

"No, I heard from everyone and wrote it down myself." Zheng Sheng didn't think it was so difficult, it was his negligence. Zheng Sheng forgot, he is only seven years old now, how can he have such strong logical thinking?

Qiu Fuzi nodded a little dazedly, saw the bamboo slips and paper books on the bookshelf on the side, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he took a copy, which was "The Book of Filial Piety".

"There are books in the study, have you read them? Literate now? Qiu Chudao asked expectantly.

Zheng Sheng felt bad when he heard it, and immediately reacted, how could a seven-year-old child tell such a long story? Q: Am I literate? Do I know a Mao character? I'm only seven years old this year, and no one has ever taught me? I don't know!

Zheng Sheng opened his innocent eyes silently: "No one has taught me, I don't know." ”

Qiu Chudao was a little disappointed, but immediately thought that this child was playing all day long, smart is smart, and it is normal to be illiterate. As long as he teaches patiently, he will become a great thing.

"The son of the world is literate, and the son of the world also teaches us to read." Zheng Cheng on the side shouted. Zheng Quan didn't understand it, the prince was obviously literate, why didn't he say it? The child's mind was simple and simple, and he immediately became a traitor.

Everyone turned to look at him.

"Hehe, the little slave is talking nonsense, the master doesn't have to care." Steward Wang smiled at Qiu Chudao.

"I don't talk nonsense!" Zheng Quan's face turned red, he ran to the back of the bookshelf and brought a stack of papers, and handed it to Qiu Fuzi as if offering a treasure: "This is written by Shizi, he taught us, and then let us copy it." ”

Qiu Chudao trembled and held the stack of papers, carefully looked at the twisted and crooked words written on the first row above, and then looked at the rows of words below that were even more unbearable to look at, he understood what kind of person wrote it, so he trembled even more.

Zheng Sheng finally reacted, Shuang Cheng'er, you rebelled like this? Betrayed me completely? What good did this old man do you?

Zheng Sheng glared at Zheng Cheng viciously.

Zheng Cheng looked at Zheng Sheng innocently.

Steward Wang was also shocked, "Master, apprenticeship? ”

"Good!" Qiu Fuzi stood up and stared at Zheng Sheng like a big bad wolf staring at a little white sheep, which made Zheng Sheng tremble, "This apprentice, the old man has taken it in!" ”
