Chapter 4: The Rest of the Road (3)

"Mother." I rushed to her room, she was sitting in front of the dresser, and when she saw me come in, she pulled me over, looked me up and down, and said with a smile: "Show my mother, I'm a year older again." After saying that, I asked the people around me to take things, and I didn't know what to take, my hand was pulled by her, so I had to pretend to be very happy, in fact, I wanted to leave early, I feel that this mother is definitely a typical example of doting on parents, I have never felt the love of mothers, and she is so tired that I am almost dead.

I was a little stupid when I looked at what was given to me, the four treasures of the study, plus a book-poetry or something, I could barely recognize a word.

"Mr. Fang will be back tomorrow, I heard Rong'er say, you asked her a lot of questions?" She touched my head again, "Silly child, she can't read, how can she answer your question?" Mr. Fang used to say that you are studious, if you don't understand anything about reading and writing, just ask him. Also, I asked someone to clean up the Cunmo Hall and make a study for you, you have to cultivate yourself and learn from Mr. Fang. ”

Damn, why does Rong'er's big mouth say everything, and when she listens to her words, she seems to think that my questions are all serious academic questions? It seems that Rong'er still has reservations, but fortunately she has reservations, otherwise I am afraid that I will be kicked out by this one. Even for the sake of this face, you can't mess around.

"Got it." I nodded my head indiscriminately, saying yes, and I couldn't stand still. She finally let go of my hand and told me to put things away.

Oh yes, the eldest daughter of the Tang Guogong Mansion has already married, and I still have a sister and a sister in the mansion, my sister Yuru, my sister Xiuning, this sister is as unruly as me, because she ranks third among daughters, and everyone calls her Sanniang. I didn't go very much with these two female dolls, mainly because my mother was afraid that this little sister's messing around would affect my recovery. Another reason, probably because of gender, is that I heard that ancient people attached great importance to etiquette and religion. If they don't provoke me, I won't provoke them. - Actually, I later learned that people at that time didn't pay so much attention to the defense of men and women, and I didn't know about other places, at least in the Tang State Mansion, I later found out that this was the case.

Because it's my birthday, I think everything is special, but of course the most special thing is my own opinion of myself. I used to be a gangster, I can say that there are all kinds of people, of course there are handsome ones, I belong to the kind of people who are not good-looking and slightly ugly, if I look handsome, maybe those little followers will support me. I, who have always been inferior in appearance, realized my first extraordinary today - I am simply the only handsome guy in heaven and earth, handsome now, and will only be more handsome in the future. I must make a career while I am very handsome.

I picked up the book that my mother gave me, except that the first word was slightly easier to recognize, and the second word on the cover I could only rely on Meng, is it a ...... Scarlet letters? Recognizing half of the words is usually wrong, and I gave up struggling. Learning this matter is still not possible without the guidance of a teacher.

But when the teacher came, I was no longer thinking about how to rewrite history, but about how to go back and be hacked to death......

How do you say that? It's the same as when I was in the orphanage, but this Mr. Fang is much more difficult than the administrator of the orphanage, holding a ring ruler in his hand, and slamming it on my head at every turn, I can't do anything to him, after all, he is a teacher, and if I want to rewrite history, I'm afraid it won't work if I can't read.

Mr. Fang was very happy on the first day he came, but his joy did not last long, because I could not answer any of the questions he asked me, so I was asked to memorize the Analects. Learn and learn, don't you also say? To be honest, not only do I not know what is behind it, but even these two sentences are not understood at all. At first, he was patient when I couldn't memorize it, but after I had recited a few words, he suddenly became angry, even his beard was cocked, and he picked up the ring ruler on the table and hit me on the head. Because I don't know what else to say except to keep repeating it.

I listened to him reprimanded him there, probably saying that I had become like this after I had been gone for less than three months.

I suddenly had an idea, knelt on the ground, pretended to be very pitiful, and said, "Sir, I know that I am wrong. Taking the opportunity to squint, he glanced at his beard and saw that his beard was no longer cocked, and boldly continued, "Since a serious illness, I have somehow been invaded by evil spirits, and I have forgotten most of what I have learned before. ”

Damn, after saying these words, I feel like I'm going to collapse, such a crepe can come out of my mouth in its entirety, even I have to admire myself. Think about it back then, I broke an arm in order to get under the boss's hands, think about the person I want to be the emperor in the future, this half-old man will not make me a cripple, can't even bear this bit of suffering? The so-called willing to give, give to have something to gain, after all, it is not easy for everyone to live, and pie will not fall from the sky.

Mr. Fang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then threw away the ring ruler and quickly helped me up, but he still said very seriously: "You were accidentally injured by Yang Xuangan's horsewhip, and I heard that you have been in a coma for more than half a month, but I am not careful. ”

In fact, I asked Rong'er a long time ago, this Mr. Fang didn't leave after coming to the Tang State Mansion for a few days, and he didn't teach Li Jiancheng anything. It would be nice for him to teach me to read from scratch without him seeing anything out of the ordinary. He is different from Rong'er, Rong'er is a girl in the house, this gentleman, I heard that he is a famous person in Jiangdong, but he is not easy to fool.

What happened next, even I couldn't believe it, but Rong'er, who followed and served, seemed to be very accustomed to it—I almost never sleeped, and spent two nights recognizing every word in the entire "Analects of Learning", and I actually memorized a little, and finally knew what the content behind the sentence "Learn and learn, don't also say", of course, it means that I don't understand it at all. But that's okay, a good start is the first step to success.

Of course, the process of my literacy was very hard, and there was no pinyin in ancient times, so I had to find Rong'er.

"Hey, this is obviously a 'say', why do you pronounce it as 'Yue'?" She told me she didn't know why.

I had no choice but to ask my husband, who explained that because when the Analects was written, the word "Yue" had not yet appeared, and he also said that "if you are poor, you will become poor", and I could not understand it at all. Still, once again, I marvel at the wisdom of the ancients.

Anyway, I didn't think I was so good before, at most I was a little smarter than the people around me, but in the past half a month, I feel like a divine help, and I am too smart.

Although every day in Cunmotang, it is inevitable that Mr. will be given a ruler, this is not because I am not good at learning, because I am so studious that I often ask Mr. speechless. He beat me because I had no rules and was open-mouthed, such as sitting and listening to him read to me, I had to sit up straight, and I had to be beaten if I accidentally leaned on the back of the chair, and I didn't know what the back of the chair was designed for, and he said that I spoke vulgarly, so that I would not mess with the people in the house. I want to say that I haven't messed with them at all, and they don't all talk the same...... Well, it seems that there is indeed a little difference, such as my mother - because she is really good to me and qualified to be my mother, I don't care about the question of her name, the way she speaks is indeed different from the way Rong'er speaks, but I can't learn her to speak at all.

This is miserable, because Mr. Fang has to let me talk like that, and he will beat me if he doesn't agree. I've been beaten enough before, and I didn't feel much pain even when I was cut, and I won't lose a piece of meat after a few hits of the ruler, I'm not afraid at all, but in the case of being able to avoid injury, I'm still more knowledgeable, so it didn't take long for me to learn to speak like Mr. Fang, Rong'er said that I finally returned to normal, I scolded in my heart, I, Lao Tzu is starting to become more and more abnormal now.

I didn't know the use of memorizing the Analects, but I thought it was fun...... I especially think endorsement is fun and fulfilling, and I don't know why the high school students I met in the Internet café in the past who are not doing their jobs are always yelling that endorsements are boring and boring to study. In this way, only when you do one thing can you be qualified to say whether you can or not, I kind of regret that I used to say that I was not the material for reading, and now I feel that I am simply too suitable for reading.

After careful calculation, I have lived in the Tang Guogong Mansion for more than two months, and the Analects have long been memorized, and Mr. Fang began to tell me about the book that my mother gave me on my birthday. I actually don't know the speed of the ancient people's endorsement, but I am smart, it can be seen from Mr. Fang's reaction, he threatens me less and less often with the ring ruler, his beard is no longer curled, and his brows are not furrowed, so I guess that I should be doing well. If Lao Tzu enters school, with his current performance, he will definitely be a good student, so don't look down on yourself...... In the future, it's better to think less about Lao Tzu Niang's words, lest one day accidentally pop out of his mouth, and if he is heard, he will lose his identity. By the time I memorized the Book of Songs, it was already snowing almost every day in Daxing City...... I can't even hold a pen.

Remembering that I couldn't even write my own name before, I couldn't help but feel ashamed, if someone had taught me at that time, I wouldn't have been able to even erect a proper tombstone for Master. Hey, it's good to know a few more words.
