Zaijian Du Shiyi, Chen Da was suddenly full of nervousness, and Chen Bao'er was overjoyed and hurried forward, bowed deeply and raised his head and asked, "Ming Gong, can I really let my grandfather bring some Chengdu specialties back to my aunt and two brothers?" If that's the case, I'll have to deduct a year's wages...... No, two years ......"

Seeing that the little guy was talking incoherently happily, Du Shiyi smiled dumbly, and then asked Chen Da: "Who said that I want Bao'er to come to Chengdu to let him do things?" ”

"Huh?" Chen Da was stunned for a moment. After thinking of that, he inquired and learned that Du Shiyi was from the Jingzhao Du family, a famous family for generations, and even the Son of Heaven wanted to see him in the capital, and he was furious for a while, and all the way he told Chen Bao'er to follow him left and right after he arrived in Chengdu, and he must be cautious, and never be as arrogant as before, but at this time, Du Shiyi's words really made him confused. So, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva with some difficulty, and then asked expectedly, "Ming Gong didn't want Bao'er to be with him, so why?"

So why did Chen Baoer come to Chengdu?

"There are enough people around me, he is only eleven years old, how can I bear to send him at the age when he is still in such a solid family, and he is still at the age when he is still clothed and stretched out to eat?" Du Shiyi looked at Chen Bao'er's dark eyes, smiled and stroked the two sideburns, and then looked up and said to Chen Da, "I took a fancy to his courage and qualifications, and I plan to keep him by my side to study hard." As for the free time, help me sort out the books, correspondence, and other codexes in the study, which I think are all within his ability. ”

This is a good thing that Chen Da never dreamed of, and even Chen Baoer was stunned. Chen Da originally thought that Du Shiyi said that there was no famous teacher in Zhangjia Village, but it was out of pity, coupled with his son's bold statement at the critical moment, but he didn't expect that it was really a pity. Chen Bao'er's eyes widened, and she said with some trepidation: "Ming Gong, I have only read the Analects, and I have only read half of the Book of Songs, and the other books have only been read by people, and I don't understand their meanings......"

"It's not that I don't know a word and haven't been enlightened, and it's not too late to work hard to learn now." Du Shiyi patted the little guy's shoulder as if encouraging, and then said to Chen Da, "How is it, you are a father who is willing to give up your treasure?" ”

"Ming Gong is so loving, I ...... I don't even know what to say. Chen Da, an honest man, took a deep breath, then walked up to his stunned son, pressed his shoulders with both hands, and said word by word, "Bao'er, this is an opportunity that others can't ask for, you must listen to Ming Gong's instructions, study hard, be diligent and motivated, you must do everything Ming Gong tells you carefully, and you must not be lazy Grandpa will also come into the city to visit you as long as he can......"

Seeing that the father and son finished speaking after a while, and when Chen Baoer saluted in front of him again, there was a trace of firmness on his face that he had not had before, Du Shiyi nodded happily, and then called a servant and asked him to lead Chen Da to do some Chengdu specialties and then send people out of the city. When he ordered someone to take Chen Bao'er to freshen up and change clothes, and was led into his study after he was dressed up, he saw that the little guy was curiously looking at the bookshelves and furnishings around him, and gradually lost the love and reluctance he had just said goodbye to his father, so he smiled and said: "The books on the four shelves can be read at any time after rì." ”

"Really?" Chen Bao'er only felt incredible for a while. You know, when he grew up so big, the first time he read a book was at the house of the literate gentleman Fu Weng, and Fu Weng still stared at him, as if he was afraid that he would accidentally damage the book, and as for having his own book, it was even more wishful thinking. He couldn't afford paper, he couldn't afford pen and ink, so he could only memorize those contents in his heart over and over again, and he wrote and wiped on the muddy floor with straw sticks and branches, and wiped and wrote again, and he didn't know how many times he repeated them. For a moment, he stared eagerly at the books, as if he wanted to pounce on them immediately.

"However, since your grandfather said that you used to practice writing on the ground, come here and use this money to write two words for me?"

Chen Baoer hurriedly stepped forward, but when he took the pen, he only felt that it was heavier than the farm tools he had used, and his hands were trembling slightly. Just as he hung his head deeply, he felt someone gently pat him on the shoulder.

"Don't be discouraged, after all, in the past, your family could not afford the cost of these pen, ink, paper and inkstone, in fact, as long as you master the use of pen, it is much more convenient to use pen and ink than you to use wooden branches."

Du Shiyi smiled slightly, and then said earnestly: "From today onwards, learn to hold the pen first, and then learn to post it." As for the temporary post, you might as well first Lin Yu Shinan Yu Gong's "Confucius Temple Tablet", I have a rubbing in this study and my facsimile back then, you can compare it. You have no one to teach you in the past, and it is inevitable to practice calligraphy, and now I will tell you first, the post is only one of them, and reading the post is also indispensable. Walking and sitting between lying down to watch the post and think, and in the leisure time to figure it out, so that you can get its charm when you are on the post, instead of just learning a similar ......"

Although it was the first time to be a real teacher, Du Shiyi had listened to lectures from Lu Hong in the grass hall for several years, and since then, he has often dealt with famous scholars and Confucians, and his accumulation is not abundant. Seeing that Chen Bao'er listened seriously, as if he wanted to memorize every word and sentence, he said with a smile: "Don't blindly memorize, if you don't understand it, just bring it up." ”

"Yes...... Ming Gong, how long should I practice every rì? ”

"Practice for an hour every rì, not too much. The second is recitation, although you can already know the Analects by heart, and have heard people talk about the meaning, but those who are familiar with the history of the countryside may not be able to understand the gist of it, so you should first review it with me when the time comes. As for the Book of Songs, I will start with you at the beginning in the evening. It's just that since I am the lord of a county, I naturally won't have much time left for you. ”

Although Chen Bao'er is young, but the children of the poor are in charge of the family early, he is intelligent, sensible and early, and he once begged them to read and write the professor Fu Weng, and he is deeply loved, so he has learned far more than others, but the other party has never been so delicate. Knowing that such an opportunity is precious and hard-won, he was grateful to hear Du Shiyi also say that there was not much time left for him, he knelt down almost without thinking and said: "I will definitely study and learn words with my heart, and I will never let Ming Gong down."

"Get up." Seeing that the beauty of good talent sank into the mud, Du Shiyi initially only appreciated his blunt words and cherished his talent for a while, but since he had led people to his side, he decided to use some thoughts.

Songshan Thatched Cottage has now become a holy place for poor scholars, and Lu Hong's strength is limited, and his senior brothers may have countless things to do, not to mention that with Chen Bao'er's humble background and such a weak foundation, it is not necessarily a good thing to go to that kind of place full of talents. So, after the people got up, he said with a smile, "Don't take a bite of Ming Gong after rì, just call me Master Du, and you are also my first disciple."

Chen Bao'er's eyes widened in disbelief, and then she was overjoyed, and immediately knelt down again and slammed her head three times: "Disciple to meet Master Du"

Du Shiyi helped the little guy up with his own hands, and was about to give two more words of encouragement, but there was a report from the outside: "Lang Jun, Cui Weng came to see his eldest grandson." ”

Hearing that it was Cui Tang, Du Shiyi couldn't help but think about it secretly. In the previous case of Li Tianluo and the customer fighting for land, Cui Tang also reported to him, letting him know that Li Tianluo and Wang Ming, the county governor of Yulingze, were already very enthusiastic, and this time he also specially sent a lot of gifts for the two to pretend to be sick, not to mention that Cui Tang was the first to donate thousands of dollars, opening the deadlock of raising funds to build water conservancy. Therefore, he raised his voice and ordered to invite in, and then said to Chen Bao'er: "It's the master of the Cui clan in Chengdu who is here, you stand behind me, watch and listen attentively." ”

Chen Baoer heard that she didn't need to avoid it, and her face suddenly showed a surprise that she couldn't hide, but she still respectfully agreed.

Not long after, he saw an old man wearing a long jacket lined with silk cotton lining with a brocade face, and the whole person exuded a rich atmosphere, and brought a young man a few years older than himself into the house. In the eyes of these villagers, the Chengdu Cui family is already a figure who has reached the sky, but the grandfather and grandson behaved very respectfully in front of Du Shiyi, and after the Cui family Langjun sat down with his grandfather, he stood behind Cui Tang as if he was standing behind Du Shiyi, and then glanced at himself, and even slightly bowed his head and showed a kind smile. After being stunned for a moment, he quickly smiled back.

Cui Tang has been ordering people to keep an eye on the Chengdu County Party, so although Chen Bao'er is only half a year old, he already knows everything. Du Shiyi took a fancy to a boy with a drooping hair in Zhangjia Village, which was certainly curious, but it was none of his business, so he just looked at it twice. Smiled and complimented Du Shiyi for judging the case as if God was fair and fair, and seeing that he was obviously in a good mood, he turned to the most important topic, but it was for his eldest grandson Cui Jaw to inquire about the county school again. However, to his great surprise, Du Shiyi actually looked at Cui Jaw and smiled.

"Due to the proximity to the end of the year, the enlistment of the book, and the return of the year to the general report to the state road and many other affairs, the county school will not have time to rectify it for a while. Ling Changsun is a young talent, if Cui Weng is willing, I want to stay in the county party and personally test a few rì, I don't know what Cui Weng wants? ”

"Huh?" Cui Tang's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up without thinking about it and said, "That's what I can't ask for." Da Lang, thank you Ming Gong soon."

Cui Jaw was also stunned for a moment before he woke up like a dream, and hurriedly stepped forward to thank him according to his grandfather's words. But it wasn't until my grandfather sat idle for a while and hurriedly said goodbye that he didn't have any sense of reality about this sudden encounter. It wasn't until Du Shiyi beckoned him to step forward that he put aside those nonsense thoughts and walked up quickly.

"This is Chen Sanlang, I gave him the scientific name Chen Jizhen before, and just now, I have accepted him as a disciple." Seeing that Cui Jaw suddenly opened his mouth in shock, Du Shiyi said to Yan Yue sèly, "Bao'er was born in the countryside, and the history is only rough, so you two will live in the same room for the time being." In this study, I will have you have two other books prepared. ”
