Chapter 13: A Brief History of Writing
Fusu looked at Li Si in front of him, who didn't look like Li Si at all, and felt a little worried, not knowing what this teacher who was named by himself would teach him, this was the second time he had misjudged the character. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In his impression, Li Si is a person who is keen on fame and fortune, and betrayed Qin Shi Huang in order to survive, how can he be extremely obscene, but he didn't expect that the person who came to his side today to teach him was a square-looking person, in his forties, with a fluttering beard, a bit of fairy wind and bones, looking dignified, a pair of eyes full of wisdom and fortitude, but there is no cunning to play conspiracy, clothes and hair are meticulous, although the clothes are not new, But it's clean and tidy.
Li Si is also looking at the magical son Fusu in front of him, since he was born three years ago, his birth has been spread in the court and the opposition, and in recent years, he has added early wisdom, and some strange things that are not really true are also circulating.
As Prime Minister Lü Buwei's housekeeper, of course he has heard about Fusu, so he is very curious about Fusu, and now he wants to be his master, or the master named by him, he has become more curious, his eyes are full of pondering, and he wants to see through this little son. It's a pity that he didn't understand anything, except that he wasn't too nervous, Fusu didn't seem to be any different from ordinary children.
"I don't know how the prince knows the name of his subordinates?" Li Si saw that Fusu was not interested in speaking, so he finally asked first.
"This, I usually like to listen to stories, so let Meng An often collect stories for me, he collected yours, isn't it, Meng An?" After telling Wei Yi yesterday, he realized that something was going to be wrong, and yesterday he specially found someone to understand Li Si's past, and also made a confession with Meng An.
"That's true, uh......" Meng An didn't have Fusu's cheekiness, and forgot the words as soon as he said a word.
"He said that when you were a small official in the Chu State in the past, you saw two mice (see note) and had the determination to work hard, what an inspirational story, Meng An is still choked up when he thinks of your story and wants to learn from you. Isn't it, Meng An? Fusu slandered that he would no longer be able to find Meng An to confess next time, and he had to change to Xiling, while continuing to lie.
"Well, yes, yes, that's it, Lord Lisi, you're really amazing!" Meng An couldn't stop nodding.
Li Si was a little puzzled, he knew what happened to the two mice that Fusu said, but he had never said anything to anyone, if he hadn't deliberately inquired, he wouldn't have known such a story, how could Fusu know?
Li Si couldn't figure it out, shook his head, and simply didn't think about it, he was ready to fulfill his responsibility as a teacher, he cleaned up his mood and asked Fusu: "Has the son ever enlightened?" ”
Fusu thought for a while, and replied seriously: "Only my mother taught me to read some words, I don't know if it is considered enlightenment?" "Fusu knew that in ancient times, he respected teachers and taught them, and he was afraid that something would be wrong, so he was a little too cautious in class at the beginning.
"What have you learned?" Li Si is still a more responsible teacher, and if he wants to teach students well, he must first understand the situation of the students, so he has the spirit of never getting tired of eating, and he asks bit by bit about the foundation of Fusu.
After a period of communication, Li Si found that although Fusu had not been instructed by any famous teacher, he was only taught by the queen, but in addition to being a little cautious, he spoke in a straightforward manner, unambiguously, and much better than ordinary children, which made him doubt once again whether Fusu was really a natural sage.
"Since there is no formal study, let's start with Cangjie making characters! The first word ......"
"Will it be?" Li Si taught very seriously, and he was already in his forties, with a fluttering beard, and he was a bit of the image of the old master in Fusu's mind, so he didn't dare to slack off, and studied seriously in the morning, not daring to have the slightest disobedience.
"Yes." Fusu didn't dare to stop at all, and when he heard Li Si's question, he hurriedly answered. But as soon as he finished answering, he regretted it, can a three-year-old learn things so quickly?
Sure enough, Li Si's face was a little surprised, he just asked symbolically, he originally planned to continue teaching, but he didn't expect Fusu to return to the meeting, which made him a little unable to say what he wanted to say, so he had to change his words: "Oh, then, then show me." ”
"Cangjie writes books to teach heirs." Fusu had no choice but to continue to answer, this is the whole content of Li Si's lecture in the morning, not only talked about the origin of words, but also taught these eight words, Fusu listened a little drowsy, just these eight words in the morning, afraid that Fusu would not understand, and talked over and over again, how could his soul in his twenties stand it.
"Write it out." Li Si didn't have time to think about what Fusu was thinking, and continued, unable to tell whether there was joy or anything on his face.
Fusu had to write these eight words on the sand table according to the words, and in a depressed mood, he forgot that everyone was still using seal script at this time, and it was inevitable that he would write horizontally and vertically.
"What language are you writing in, why haven't I seen it?" Li Si found the problem at a glance, and originally wanted to criticize a few words for not studying seriously, but considering that Fusu was only three years old, and the more he looked at these words, the more he felt that it was very interesting.
"Questions?" Fusu realized that he was exposed again, but he still had to hold on, "When my mother taught me, I didn't study hard, so I learned like this, and it was easy to write." He invited his mother out without hesitation, anyway, you can't confirm it, even if it is, he believes that the Mi family will never betray him.
Li Si frowned, he himself was from the Chu State, and he was sure that what Fusu wrote was definitely not the text of the Chu State, but he still continued to ask: "What other words do you write, write them to me?" ”
Fusu didn't think much about it, and said that I didn't study hard, not to mention that I had to use regular script sooner or later, and now the text of the six countries is strange and turning, in order to make it easier to learn in the future, it is also necessary to promote the early advent of regular script, if it can be simplified, it would be better. So he continued to write "ten hundred thousand" on the sand table, and finally thought about it again, and wrote out the character "yong" that he had learned at the beginning of half of the calligraphy class.
As a more famous calligrapher in history, he keenly felt the benefits of writing like this, so he looked at Fusu's eyes were fiery, as if he had found a big treasure, which made Fusu feel a chill.
"Childe is really smart, today's homework is here, and the minister retires." Li Si glanced at Fusu several times before leaving, and then left in a hurry. This gave Fusu a very bad feeling, and there was a feeling of being coveted. He didn't know what Lees was going to do next, but it shouldn't be a good thing for him. (To be continued)

Note, the story about the two rats is roughly as follows, Li Si saw the different situations of the two rats in the toilet and the granary, so he sighed: "The sage of man is like a rat, in his own ears!" Since then, he has been inspired to be a rat in the granary, so he went to Xunzi to be a teacher, and after completing his studies, he went to Qin.
