Chapter 5 - The elder of the great sect uses stories to train people, and Guo Jiaqiao solves them
The topic is: Once upon a time, there was a little monkey, the first time he left his parents, went down the mountain alone, accompanied by fragrant flowers and plants, chasing the beautiful butterflies, to a peach forest, where the peaches are fat and beautiful, making people drool, the little monkey picked a few hugs, and continued to move forward. I once saw a cornfield and saw that the corn with purple ears was very cute, and he threw peaches and went to break the corn. When carrying the corn forward, I saw the round watermelon, which was the most interesting thing I saw, and threw the corn into the sky, and went to hug the watermelon, which should be the best gift to bring back to my parents, the little monkey thought. On the way home, I was too tired, when I put down the watermelon and rested under the tree, I saw a rabbit jumping up, the little monkey thought that if I could catch this rabbit, it would be more fun, and I jumped up and chased the rabbit, the little rabbit ran in front, the little monkey chased behind, and I didn't succeed in chasing it to the depths of the forest, and my heart was tired, and it was dark, and my stomach was hungry, and I went home empty-handed, thinking that I would come down tomorrow.
The elder said, "Write down your most direct thoughts about the little monkey and give it a name!" Hand it in, and then you can leave. β
Someone wrote: Little monkeys eat peaches.
Someone wrote: The little monkey is filial.
Someone wrote: Half-heartedness is better than concentration.
Someone wrote: Lack of greed, nothing.
Someone wrote: do what you can.
Guo Jia thought about it for a while, wanted to write half-heartedly, and was not greedy enough, but finally wrote: What can be eaten today will never be left for tomorrow. Guo Jia!
In the evening, when the elders decided on the candidates, they saw that Guo Jia wrote very peculiarly, so they took it out for discussion.
There is an old saying: "Shallow, shallow!" A peach forest can't be passed, and it stops! , I can't get any knowledge. β
Then another old man said: "That's better than going home empty-handed, at least there is something to gain." β
The second sect elder said: "Yes, if it's just some food, it doesn't matter, but if it's treasures or others, it's not easy to think about Guo Jia's child." β
There is an old saying: "Guo Geng has no prospects, this is a small nemesis, how can he have such insight, is the Guo family a god." β
The elder of the great sect who was sitting on the chair of the Hu bed, his closed eyes opened, and he used his crutches to the side of the Hu bed and said: "Why can't our Guo family produce a talent, we used to be brilliant in the era of Gaozu, it is because of the blessing of the ancestors that people have become lazy!" We are just behind others, what's wrong with Guo Geng, it's ridiculous, I think he works very hard and is very motivated! If you talented children work so hard, wouldn't Kwok have more hope? I don't feel sorry for the food lost in a year, I feel sorry for you who don't know how to be conscious, you only know how to blame others, and you can't learn from it and get warnings. This story is here to educate you, shame or not. After so many years, you are enough, no one is allowed to talk about Guo Geng in the future, he is also a member of our Guo family. Guo Jia, this child has grown up, you can do it yourself. β
The Great Sect Elder spoke, and no one said anything in the face of the clan authority, which was also because the Great Sect Elder had a deeper insight than them.
The second sect elder said: "Call Guo Jia and let him talk about it himself." β
Guo Jiadao: "This story, Jia'er view, do things to pay attention to success, it doesn't matter what method can be used, summarizing the experience of no success is helpful to success, but it is better to think about how to actively strive for success is more meaningful, as the most direct and practical method, I wrote it!" β
A few people looked at the big clan elder, and he smashed the ground with a crutch and said: "We are a legal family, if I am wrong, I am not worthy of being the clan elder, let alone the head of the clan, you react very quickly now." But in front of the story, you are not as good as a child. β
This remark made the sect elders ashamed, and they felt that Guo Jia was different, and this unknown little nemesis should not be under Guo Tu of Yingchuan Academy. Not even weaker than Xun Yu, I am glad to feel that a superstar shines on Guo Mansion, Yingchuan, and the Central Plains! That's thanks to the ancestors dropping! The two sect elders took the lead in saying that they passed, and they basically agreed, and one of the sect elders wanted to recommend their grandsons and hesitated, and the sect elders who knew his little ninety-nine said: "The ship has set sail, and it is about to tilt, what are you waiting for, you just jump quickly!" And so it all passed. Based on this criterion, the other two places were decided.
When others are still summing up their experience, Guo Jia has already gone to find a way, this is not an answer, but a question at different levels, he has far surpassed his peers, the elder of the great sect and the elder of the second sect feel that there is really no pain for this weak child in vain.
Yingchuan Public School generally has more than 100 places every three years, the four major families Chen, Xun, Jun, and Han account for 30, and the nine major families such as Yu, Guan, Zhao, Wang, Li, Guo, Yao, and Shen give 30, in fact, there are 40 people from dozens of small families, and 10 people are recommended by poor families and celebrities. Yingchuan Public School is located at the foot of Huihui Mountain, and Yingchuan Academy is in Lingyun Peak of Huihui Mountain. Yingchuan Public School is actually two rows of more than 40 red and white ancient Han Dynasty wooden tile houses, with bluestone paving, pine and bamboo as the auxiliary, and five or six stone tables. In ancient times, learning has always been hard, especially for beginners to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, "Spring and Autumn", "Han Feizi", "Tao Te Ching", etc. Even the tea ceremony, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and current affairs are arranged, which shows the importance attached to the future struggle between the scholars. Yingchuan College is the training center of the great Confucian giants. However, there are many books provided, such as "The Art of War" and "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn", and other rare books such as abbreviated editions.
Say goodbye to the reluctant mother, farewell to the family elders who are eagerly looking forward to it, and goodbye to the envious villagers, Yingchuan Public School, Guo Jia in the bumps is here! The impatience of the Guo clan made them come to the bottom of the mountain early
Although he jumped out of the car gently, he still knelt down as soon as his legs were weak, and his face turned slightly pale, probably because of the first time he sat in the car for a long time, Guo Jia thought. But the two children who came together laughed and groaned: "The sick cat Guo Jia kneels down to the groom, kneels, cheap Guo Jia." β
Just in front of Yingchuan Public School, Guo Jia said: "I want to pay homage to the teacher who educates us, are you not polite?" Don't bow down to the academy together, waiting for others to laugh at you for being rude. β
They didn't expect that the teasing was not successful, but they also brought themselves a little, Guo Jia accidentally fell, and he was really calculated, this evil breath is really unbearable, but he can't openly say anything against it, and he kneels down together angrily.
The ten people led by Chen Qun of the Chen family saw this situation, although they had not heard of the matter of bowing in the public school, but they could not be compared, and they also knelt and saluted, and the Confucian model Xun family and a group of ten people also followed the example of Chen Qun in front of him under the leadership of Xun Qing, and then the Zhong family, the Han family, etc. The columns of ups and downs are quite fun. The mentors and people from the major families who came out to greet them were surprised: the new students who came this year are so polite. I didn't know it was a joke.
When he was in Yingchuan Public School, Guo Jia was best known for predicting the chaos in the world. Later, we will review his prophecy.
