"Little Master! I'll practice it again, you see, did you see it clearly this time? Liu Shi asked with a smile. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"A little slower, a little slower, do you understand? I'll take a look at it again. Chi Shaojiao said.

"Good! I'm going to slow down, do you want to see clearly? Liu Shi replied.

After practicing for a while, Chi Shao always felt that something was wrong, so she stopped and said, "How is this girl practicing?" ”

Liu Shi pursed his mouth, couldn't help laughing, and said: "Yes, it's a little better than dancing, but the footsteps and hands are still a little out of harmony." ”

As soon as the words fell, Bai Shao next to him laughed coquettishly.

This red peony was a little too anxious, so he only practiced it a few times, and he wanted to practice it well. Seeing Bai Shao's appearance, Chi Shao put away his sword and said, "Senior Brother Liu, you are so stupid, you can't even teach people, you are really stupid." Won't you draw your footsteps on the ground and let me walk? I can't imagine this, let this girl walk so tired, do you say you are stupid? ”

turned back to Liu Zhen and said, "True senior brother! Go and bring me a ladle of water to drink, and I will die of thirst. “

"Okay!" After a while, Liu Zhen brought out a scoop of water. Chi Peony took a sip and drank it all, and then said to Liu Shi: "Remember to draw the footwork on the ground next time, or I will take it back to practice on the silk cloth, and then practice the technique when I have practiced the footwork." ”

turned back to Bai Shao and said, "Sister! Let's go, it's too late to go back, and we'll have to memorize the scriptures later. ”

Since then, the white peony and the red peony have come to Liu Shi every two days and three days to practice swordsmanship, and in a blink of an eye, they have passed two or three months. This red peony has a good talent for practicing martial arts, after drawing the footwork of the sword on the silk cloth, the red peony often practices even if he goes back, and he is soon very proficient, plus the technique is coordinated, and he is extremely proficient in less than three months, which makes Liu Shi also very surprised.

I thought that the red peony was just a whim for fun, but I was able to stick to it and practice a complete set of swordsmanship.

"Senior brother! Let's compare and see if your little trick works, but you have to explain in advance that you are not allowed to use your strength, and you can only win by moves, how about it? Chi Shaojiao smiled.

Liu Shidao: "It seems that the little junior sister is very confident in herself?" Then let's satisfy my sister's interest today. After saying that, he also picked up a wooden sword.

Originally, this wooden sword was prepared for Bai Shao, who knew that Bai Shao didn't like to practice swords, but was willing to watch from the sidelines, or read quietly on the side.

This time, Liu Shi looked at Bai Shao differently, how could these two little girls have such a different personality? Sure enough, the rumors were not false, so it was up to her.

At this time, Liu Shi grabbed the wooden sword, walked off the field, and each put on a posture.

"Look at the sword!" Chi Shaojiao snorted, stepped forward, and the sword momentum went straight towards Liu Shi. It seems that I can't wait, and I want to come to a first strike.

Liu Shi's left foot slid and the sword went to the right. Who knew that when Chi Shao saw it, he hurriedly changed his moves, his footsteps moved again, and the sword momentum cut diagonally towards Liu Shi's body, which was extremely tricky.

Liu Shi laughed, "It's a good time!" With his right foot back, he flashed a sword, and sent the sword technique up, straight to the throat of the opponent.

Chi Shao panicked in his heart, his left foot retreated to the right, and one spun, and the sword stabbed diagonally.

When Liu Shi saw it, he came to a back board bridge, leaned back, and after the swordsmanship, the sword in his hand cut up obliquely, and saw that his neck was damaged, Chi Shao was shocked, and was forced to retreat, his foot was unstable, and he fell obliquely into Liu Shi's arms, Liu Shi hurriedly helped him up with his left hand, and his eyes were facing each other.

Liu Zhen and Bai Shaozheng were looking at it vigorously, and they were all stunned when they saw this scene happen suddenly.

Bai Shao said: "Little sister! The red peony's face turned red, stretched out his waist and bounced up, and said shyly: "I won't compare today, and I will compare again after practicing again." After speaking, he picked up the white peony and left.

Liu Shi didn't know what to do, watched the two little girls leave, and looked at himself again.

Liu Zhen said: "Childe! How did you do it and it looks so warm? ”

Liu Shi blushed and said, "True brother! Don't talk nonsense, don't practice, let's go study, you haven't memorized the scriptures yesterday? ”

Since then, the red peony and the white peony have not come back for several days, and Liu Shi is depressed in his heart, and he is also a little disappointed.

Liu Shi and Liu Zhen's days returned to peace, reading during the day and practicing martial arts at night, sometimes listening to Senior Brother Zhao teach some sentence interpretations, or asking for advice by themselves, and sometimes taking time to go hunting in the mountains to improve their lives in exchange for some necessities.

At this time, there was a little brother named Liu Zheng, this man is not small, good at using a spear, but he has the same interests as Liu Shi, often competes together, and knows a senior brother named Gongsun Fang, Cui Yan, and Wang Xiu.

On this day, Zheng Xuan was lecturing again, Liu Shi naturally would not be absent from work, in the past, he listened attentively to the lecture, or listened to other junior brothers and brothers to ask Master Zheng for advice, and then listened to Master Zheng's answers, he did not ask questions, but today he wanted to put forward his own opinions.

"Teacher! Do you have any questions? Liu Shi stood up and asked.

Zheng Xuan looked at him and smiled slightly, and said, "If you have any doubts, don't worry." ”

Liu Shidao: "The Analects commented on the Book of Songs, 'happy but not lewd, sad but not sad'. The teacher's note is: "Happy to be a lady, I think that the gentleman's good hatred is not for lewdness." Dreaming of it, the way of mourning couples. No one else, not to hurt his love. However, the teacher said that "mourning" is a mistake of "heartfelt" in the "Guan Sui" in the "Mao Preface" in the note "In order to be happy with the lady to match the gentleman, love is in the virtuous, not lewd, sorrowful, thinking of the virtuous, and there is no harm to the heart". And said that 'heart' is the center of forgiveness, and there is no harm to the heart, which is good. Why is that? ”

Zheng Xuan looked at Liu Shi and said with a smile: "The Analects has been in the world for a long time, don't talk nonsense if its meaning is not clear, so as not to harm future generations." And the annotations of "Mao's Poems" have an explanation for mourning, so I said that the word "mourning" is a mistake of "heart". You can check the annotations of "Mao's Poems" at this point. ”

Liu Shi thought for a while and said: "Confucius said in the 'Qiangua' of Zhou Yi's biography: "Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement!" In the 'Kun hexagram', it is also said: "The terrain is Kun, and the gentleman carries things with virtue." He also said, 'A gentleman is poor, but a villain is poor.' Why is that? ”

Zheng Xuan said with a smile: "Confucius said, 'The movement of heaven is as strong and courageous as a horse, and the gentleman should also be as courageous, hard-working, and indomitable as the sky.'" The earth is majestic and smooth, and a gentleman must also have such qualities, able to accommodate all things and tolerate everything.

As for Confucius, he said that the gentleman is poor, and the villain is poor. It's just that a gentleman can insist on poverty, and a villain will do everything he can to loot property when he is poor. Together, these words mean that a gentleman sticks to poverty, but he does not need to be happy to be poor forever, but must use legitimate means to work hard, just like studying, if you have knowledge, you will be respected by others, and someone will invite you to go out to be an official, so that you will also have a good fortune.

People who do great things must treat others with loyalty, and others will also treat you with loyalty, and we must insist on the rule of law, educate people with courtesy, and treat people with kindness, so that they can be a law-abiding person and a person who understands etiquette. You must also be able to tolerate all things, and reflect on yourself every day to blame yourself for what is wrong. Only by blaming others less can we avoid the resentment of others. Be cautious in your words and deeds, and you should also observe and understand the person that others like. If someone else hates, you have to observe him and understand him before you can draw conclusions. ”

Liu Shi said: "Thank you, teacher! I understand that being a man is not only to be able to stay in peace, but also to have the perseverance and determination to work hard, be indomitable, and move forward bravely. It is also necessary to treat people with kindness and loyalty, rule people with the rule of law, educate people with courtesy, and have an all-encompassing mind. Be cautious in your words and deeds. ”

Zheng Xuan smiled and said, "I hope you can do what you understand no matter what you do in the future." The so-called industry is good at diligence and frolic, and success is in thinking and destroying. Standing up is based on learning, and learning is based on reading. ”

Liu Shi arched his hand again and said, "The disciple has been taught!" ”

Liu Shi originally had a family education background and was kind in his heart. Just because he practiced martial arts all day long, took courage as the first, and was not interested in reading, he was suddenly enlightened by Zheng Xuan's words: "Gaozu can achieve the Han Dynasty, and his martial arts are not as high as Xiang Yu, the reason is that he is benevolent and merciful to the people, so that the people support him." The wisdom is not as strong as Xiang Yu, just because it can accommodate all things, listen to the opinions of the ministers, and learn from others, so he defeated Xiang Yu with his strategy. My father told me that my eldest brother was already ahead of others. ”
