275 Old Pedant
PS: Thank you HitoMing, the monthly pass that lives in seconds, thank you!
Hu Guang was very busy, but Tana came to invite, he naturally wanted to save face, and immediately followed her while asking, "Do you know what is going on?" ”
Tana shook her head, leaned sideways to lead the way, and replied with a little curiosity, "Mr. didn't say it, but it was very serious, as if there was something big." ”
When Hu Guang heard this, he was also curious, and he didn't know what big things Tana's teacher would have to say if he wanted to see him? And if it's really a big deal, why didn't you come to yourself earlier?
He was thinking about it when one of them, noticing that Tana had already stopped and almost crashed into it.
Fortunately, Tana avoided it, and then said a little embarrassed to Hu Guang, who was a little embarrassed: "My teacher, a little bit of face, can you look at my face and don't care about it?" ”
Hu Guang listened to it and smiled: "I know, the old people have this hobby, you can rest assured, as long as it is not a special thing, I will definitely have no problem." ”
After saying that, he continued to walk forward, and soon followed Tana to a relatively quiet small courtyard at the foot of the hill at the innermost end of the hall.
I saw an old man in his fifties standing at the door, with a white beard, his hair was already a little thin, and his face was covered with traces of time. Seeing Hu Guang coming, he squeezed out a smile, bowed slightly and said, "The chief is deeply honored to come to the cold house. If you miss the distance, you hope to forgive your sins! ”
As soon as he had finished speaking, he turned sideways and made way into the courtyard.
Hu Guang could feel a bookish aura from him, but it seemed to be mixed with a hint of flattery, which made him feel a little awkward.
He was Tana's teacher, that is, his elder, and it was a private visit anyway, and it was not a business. Hu Guang immediately walked forward quickly, saluted and said, "You are polite!" In private, you can call me a little beard. ”
The old man was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Is this Xiaohu the word of the chief, or the number?" ”
This time it was Hu Guang's turn to be stunned, right. In ancient times, it seems that it was not a direct name, but a name, a title. Of course, ordinary people don't talk about this, and they just call their names by name, but people who read are different.
Hu Guang's identity in this life is just a child of an ordinary military household. Don't talk about reading, even eating is a problem, where do the words and numbers come from?
If Hu Guang is a person in the rivers and lakes. At this time in the late Ming Dynasty, there will often be a number, because it is very popular. But he wasn't, so he didn't.
After a long time, Hu Guang reluctantly explained: "Xiaohu is the saying of my hometown, which is used by elders to call juniors. It's okay, that's what you call me. ”
Seeing Hu Guang respecting him so much, the crow's feet in the corners of the old man's eyes were relaxed. It's a pleasure to look at. He immediately led Hu Guang inside, and said with a smile: "Don't dare, don't dare." There are no rules, there is no circle, and the chief should be called the chief. ”
The two guards were left in the doorway, with only Tana following behind, as if dumb and silent. When Hu Guang and his teacher were seated, Tana poured boiling water for both of them.
"I don't know if you're calling the kid over. What are your commands? Hu Guang didn't have time to say polite words, so he asked straight to the point.
Or maybe his posture was very low, and the old man's posture was correspondingly higher, and the smile on his face was gone, and he stroked his long white beard with his hand. Said seriously: "The old man has been watching for more than a month, for the chief...... Xiaohu admired it very much. It can be seen that Xiaohu is a hero with great ambitions and great revenge. Olecranon ditch ...... Under your command, the heavenly army will be able to build a foundation! ”
When Hu Guang heard this, could it be that he asked Tana to call him over with great fanfare in order to pat himself on the back?
He didn't have time to chat here, and just as he was about to interrupt, the old man changed his words and said a little seriously: "However, there is a wrong thing, the old decay Guan Xiaohu has been doing it without knowing it." After thinking about it, I still have to make a little bit of a point in order to be a teacher for Tana for so many years. ”
Tana was standing behind the old man, and when she heard this, she nodded slightly at Hu Guang, who happened to be looking up, and smiled a little apologetically.
Although the old man's words seemed to be a little shelf-pointed, Hu Guang didn't feel anything.
In fact, to be honest, since the incident, almost everything has been Hu Guang's own idea, and at most he just asked the people around him to add some trivial things.
Because most of the people around him had never read before, and they didn't go south and north, but they were mostly nested in northern Shaanxi or Fugu, a radius of 100 miles, and they didn't have much knowledge.
Being a leader and making decisions looks very majestic, but in fact, there is a lot of pressure. At this time, Hu Guang coldly heard a scholar suddenly say to him that there was one thing that he had been doing wrong. This made him surprised and delighted, and quickly corrected his attitude, and asked very modestly: "Please also ask the old gentleman to order the boy." ”
The old man looked at Hu Guang's respectful and modest appearance, as if he was very useful. He continued to stroke the white beard with his hand, shook his head slightly and said, "The child can be taught!" Do you know that the most wrong thing you did was to teach people to read and write, or the kind of words that lacked arms and legs? ”
Hu Guang was stunned when he heard this, and thought that something was wrong, but he didn't expect him to say this thing.
He looked up at Tana, remembering her reaction when she first saw the simplified Chinese characters, and wondered if his teacher would do the same.
Seeing Hu Guang's stunned appearance, the old man seemed to be very proud, and pointed at Hu Guang with his beard: "I didn't expect it!" Lao Yu also heard that you are suffering from the lack of literacy around you, so you want everyone to be literate, this original intention is good, but you are doing the wrong thing! ”
Hu Guang was patient and continued to listen to him, to see what he could say.
Lao Tzu once said: Those who are good in ancient times are not enlightened people, but will be foolish. The people are difficult to govern, and they are wise. At this time, the old man closed his eyes, shook his head and recited the words of the sage, "Sage Confucius also said: With the wisdom of a sage, the heart is empty, the belly is solid, the wisdom is weak, and the bones are strong, and the people are often ignorant and desireless. ”
After Lao Tzu and Confucius both moved out, the old man's eyes opened suddenly, and he seemed to be shining, staring at Hu Guang and continuing: "And you Xiaohu is doing things, but it is exactly contrary to the words of the sage, this is a big mistake!" ”
"If the old decay doesn't wake you up, I'm afraid that the emperor's hegemony won't have a fate with you, this is one of them!"
Hu Guang sneered in his heart, it was the so-called policy of foolish people's rule. When the old man had finished speaking, and was about to explain tactfully, he heard again that it was only one of them.
He looked at Tana behind the old man, and when he saw that she was apologetic, he continued to be patient, ready to listen to the old man talk about his second. (To be continued......)
