Stepping through the countryside and snow, walking through the sheep intestine path, I finally came to Mozhai.

The two brothers knocked on the door, and a short-shirted guy came to open the door, the little guy's lips were red and his teeth were white, and he smiled and said, "It's Shen Er and Shen San, right?" The lord is waiting for you in the back hall, come in with me. ”

"Thank you, little brother." Shen Kang smiled and arched his hand.

The little guy walked in front and said with a smile: "Wang Yun is sick today and couldn't come over, you two can be regarded as eating a small stove." This is the Cowherd and Weaver Girl Magpie Bridge Club. ”

Wang Yun is the old boy who has repeatedly failed and tried.

"What do you mean?" Shen Chang asked.

The little guy smiled: "Once a year." He paused and said, "Wang Yunke is diligent, except for suspension of study, he will come." ”

Shen Chang smiled: "I see." But he thought in his heart that he couldn't understand what Liu Xianggong's little guy said casually, and there were too many things missing, so he secretly made up his mind to work hard.

After turning two or three folds, I came to the conferral hall in the back hall, the place of the conferral hall is spacious, but there is only a rectangular couch and a few soft couches in the right position, and the first two low couches are placed side by side, and a large space behind is free.

Could it be that in the entire Xiannan Village, Liu Yuan only accepted Wang Yun and their brothers, two students?

Mr. Liu knelt upright behind the couch in the right position, and when he saw the two brothers enter the door, he said with a straight face: "Sit down." ”

"Mr. Xie." The two bowed to him, and sat behind the couch below, one left and one right.

Sit on your knees...

Kneeling with your legs together and your buttocks gently sitting on your heels is a really difficult position, but it is torture to keep your upper body upright and impartial.

Liu Yuanqing coughed twice, flipped the pages of the book casually, coughed lightly twice, and said slowly: "In the past, both of you were naughty children in the countryside, but since you entered this door today, you have to think about everything you say and do." One day in the future, when I hear you doing evil things, then our friendship between master and apprentice will be broken. At that time, you don't have to ask me, you don't have to come to see me, just treat it as if you never had the friendship you have today. ”

His intonation is the standard Nanjing Mandarin, and it is also the most widely circulated language nowadays. Shen Kang listened with some difficulty, but he could still understand the general meaning.

Liu Yuan glanced at Shen Kang and Shen Chang, saw that the two children did not have any change in expression, and half-squinted their eyes, and then, word by word, said slowly: "I have set five rules for you, you two listen well." ”

"Yes." The two replied in unison.

Liu Yuan said slowly: "One is forbidden to play in groups, two is forbidden to scold each other, three is forbidden to destroy people's pen and ink books, four is forbidden to move and instigate harm, and five is forbidden to bully people. ”

"Understood."

Shen Kang wanted to say that he was really tired from kneeling and sitting, his back hurt and his feet were numb, but he didn't dare to say it... I can only smile with a white face.

"Hmm." Liu Yuan showed a slight smile at the corner of his lips, and took the two pieces of rice paper full of words on his side to the couch, and said: "Gossip less, today you are enlightened, and during the enlightenment period, you mainly teach calligraphy, reading, and composition." The first thing to learn is the three-character classic, don't look at the three-character scripture is only more than 1,000 words, the meaning of the words is simple and easy to understand, but the truth in it is enough for you to use it for a lifetime, so the ancestors will take this article as the first lecture of Mongolian learning. ”

The three-character classic, the hundred family names, the thousand-character text, and perhaps the Book of Filial Piety, the Twenty-Four Filial Piety, Wang Yangming's masterpiece "Social Learning Dogma" and so on.

Shen Kang already knew what he had to learn, which was easy for him, but he didn't feel like he was wasting time at all.

What he needs to do is to consolidate these rote books of the past, to listen to the voices of this era, and to better understand the wisdom of the ancients.

Only with a solid basic education, can he keep up with his composition in the future, step by step, he is not in a hurry at all.

Liu Yuan said: "This is the three, hundred, and thousand that I transcribed for you, and you can take it back and practice it." ”

Shen Kangzheng was worried that there were no textbooks, and it turned out that Liu Yuan had already prepared.

A trace of warmth rose in his heart, although Liu Yuan kept a straight face and pretended to be cold, he also thought about them in his heart.

Shen Kang held the couch with his hands, his legs were already wooden, and when he stood up, the blood all over his body seemed to be poured into his feet, which was sore, numb and itchy, indescribably sour. finally stood up, respectfully bowed to Liu Yuan, and took the rice paper full of handwriting.

On the other side, Shen Chang was no better, Shen Kang saw that his face was not good, and he understood the reason why Liu Yuan asked them to sit on their knees, probably because he wanted to calm them down as soon as possible, so as to temper their will, right?

Liu Yuan grimaced and read aloud: "At the beginning of people, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away. If you don't teach, sex is migration..."

He paused slightly, and the Shen Kang brothers repeated the recitation, scattered snowflakes outside the window, and the sound of reading aloud floated out of the wooden window, echoing in the elegant courtyard.

Liu Yuan read, "In the past, Meng's mother, choose a neighbor." If you don't learn, you will be cut off. Then he stopped, and began to talk about the first sentence: "Human nature is inherently good, which is the "theory of goodness" put forward by Mencius. The sage Mencius believed that human nature has four kinds of virtues: benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, and wisdom. ”

He pondered for a moment, and then said: "This does not mean that people are born to be gentlemen, but sprouts, can sprouts grow into towering trees?" No one can say for sure, because you live in a different environment and receive a different education, and people are divided into good and evil. ”

"In the past, Mengzi's mother moved three times in order to stay away from the influence of evil neighbors, and after all, Mencius was educated to become a sage. We have a mother in the Ming Dynasty, just like Meng's mother. She wrote a letter of "Shezi Shuo" for her son: reading the children's letter, she said that she had three povertys: she was quite rich in the world, but she was poor in encountering... My son should think that it is self-encouragement. It can be seen from this that whether it is the mother of the royal family or the mother of the common people, they all pay for their children, and they should be filial to their parents, so that they can be in vain. ”

"Mr. Xie teaches." Shen Kang was convinced.

This Liu Xianggong talks about books in a step-by-step manner, rather than cramming education. From the good and evil of human nature, to filial piety, it makes people sound that they will not be bored in the slightest, thinking of this, he can't help but be grateful, it is really his great honor to be able to worship such a teacher.

"Alright, now transcribe the passage I just read."

This is the first time Shen Kang has held a brush, it is not easy to practice a good handwriting, his hands are a little shaky, and he is full of thick ink...

"Sit upright! Thumb pusher, index finger press, middle finger hook, ring finger block, little finger pen! How stupid! Liu Yuan said these words quickly and urgently, and in the end, he couldn't help but scold.

The more he said this, the more Shen Kang felt stiff, and the snow was falling outside, but cold sweat broke out on his back. Liu Yuan snorted, stood up, and walked to Shen Kang's hand.

He snatched the pen from his hand, mixed the thick ink with the writing water, dipped the tip of the pen lightly, and said kindly: "See, the ink should be sharpened clockwise without hurry or slow, and the shade is appropriate." The pen should be combined with the wrist. ”

He slowly lifted his wrist and put down the pen, and then said: "The first end of the pen is thick and heavy, and the side is reversed, and the center of the pen is reversed, the strokes are full and symmetrical, and the tip of the pen is fine and smooth." You see, that's fine. ”

Shen Kang gradually calmed down, nodded and said, "Try it, student." ”

"Here you go." Liu Yuan handed the pen back to him.

Shen Kang took a deep breath, lightly dipped in ink, straightened his figure, and put pen to paper in a heavy breath.

The corners of Liu Yuan's lips hooked slightly, and he turned his head to look at Shen Chang..."What are you doing?" Dou big word... How many words can you write on this piece of paper? Can you make your own paper or what? Didn't you hear what I said to Shen Kang! The beginning of the pen is thick and heavy, and the side is reversed..."

"Shen Chang, this is a pen, it's a pen, not a hoe! If you push harder, it will break! ”

"Sir... How can a pen be heavier than a hoe? ”

Liu Yuan paused, feeling a mouthful of old blood in his chest, and lowered his eyes to see that Shen Chang's face was still so sincere. He gritted his teeth and said expressionlessly: "Take a deep breath, separate your wrist from your hand, imagine that there is a thin wire connected, the movement is soft and rigid, don't be anxious." ”

"Yes."

"I said soft and strong, I didn't let you fall into the mud!"
