Chapter 6: Picking Words

Suddenly, Du Chen thought of reading, looked up and asked, "I want to read, but I don't know who to teach me." Brother Biao, can you teach me? Du Chen touched the back of his head and said.

"Reading? I'm just a soldier, and if you ask me about the war, I'll know. If you ask me about reading, I won't be able to help you. Du Biao shook his head, expressing some helplessness, and seeing Du Chen's disappointed expression, he hurriedly asked, "Why did you suddenly remember to read again?" ”

"Brother Biao, you also know that my body can only strengthen my body with you. But if you really learn martial arts, you can't do it, since martial arts can't do it, then I can only follow the literature. ”

"That's true, but do you really want to read?"

"Of course."

"In that case, then you can go with me to the village chief. If you really want to learn, the village chief and his old man can help you. Seeing Du Chen's expression so firm, Du Biao also nodded secretly, determined to help him.

"Then it's troublesome Brother Biao." Du Chen replied happily. I thought that this reading thing could be regarded as settled.

"Let's go, come with me to find the village chief." "Okay, Brother Biao."

When the two came to the door of the village chief's house, they saw that the door was closed, and they did not know that the village chief was no longer at home. Du Biao stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door, and then asked respectfully, "Village Chief, are you at home?" ”

"Who?" I only heard a vicissitudes of sound coming from the house.

"Village chief, it's me, I'm Du Biao." Seeing that the village chief was at home, Du Biao hurriedly replied.

At this time, the door opened, and a thin old man walked out of it, looked at Du Biao and Du Chen, and said, "It's Xiao Biao and Xiao Du Chen, come and sit in the house." I wonder why you two came to me? ”

Without waiting for Du Biao to reply, Du Chen took a step forward and said, "Grandpa the village chief, I want to study!"

"Reading?" At this time, the village chief's eyes showed a trace of imperceptible essence.

Du Biao, who reacted, hurriedly rushed over, pulled Du Chen behind him, and said to the village chief: "Village chief, that Xiaochen may want to study more, a little rude, I hope you don't be surprised." ”

The village chief waved his hand and said slowly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's understandable, but, Xiao Duchen, do you really want to study?"

"Well, in that case, it's not impossible. Okay, Xiao Biao, you go back first, Xiao Duchen, you come in. After speaking, the village chief turned around and entered the house, and after Du Chen and Du Biao said hello, he hurriedly walked in.

"Sit down."

"The elder is here, how can there be a place for me to sit." Du Chen explained respectfully.

When the village chief heard Du Chen's words, he nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "I'll let you sit down." Why be so polite. After speaking, the village chief also pointed to the vacant seat next to him.

"That'...... All right. I'd better be respectful than obey. Helplessly, Du Chen could only listen to the words of the village chief, walked to the village chief and knelt down. After sitting down, he straightened his waist and looked slightly heroic. Although he tried not to be nervous, his fists betrayed him deeply.

Seeing Du Chen's appearance, the village chief smiled undeniably, and then asked unhurriedly: "Since you have chosen to study, then from today onwards, you will be a scholar, although you are not yet twenty years old, you can also take the table character." ”

"Take the word, what word? Disloyal? Loyal to whom? Emperor? Or Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Quan? Khan, I just want to live well...... Well, just survive with your parents, give up!

Filial piety? I'm not a person like Guo Fengxiao, give up!

Section? Solar terms or festivals? I am a descendant, and I can't be like my predecessors and don't bend my waist to the powerful, as long as I survive......

Righteousness? Righteous anger in the rivers and lakes? Or is it the righteousness of friends? Cut, not interested, give up!

Let's take a look at the back, Fu Lu Shoukang, promoted to make a fortune...... Yes, I'll just call Du Chen Du Silang. "Have you thought of words?" After a long time, the village chief asked. ”

"After thinking about it, I will be called Du Chen Du Silang in the future!"

"Du Silang? Not bad. Since you want to study with me, then you have to worship me as a teacher. ”

"No, Grandpa the Village Chief."

"No, it's beautiful, you don't want me to ask you to read and dream?" The village chief rolled his eyes, obviously, the village chief, who was a little pedantic, cared a lot about this master-apprentice relationship.

Pursed his lips helplessly, in order to study, Du Chen had to respectfully bow to the village chief.

Seeing that Du Chen's etiquette was complete, the village chief nodded with satisfaction, and his voice was a little more cordial: "From now on, you come to study with me in the morning, and go to Xiao Biao to learn martial arts in the afternoon." ”

"Yes, Grandpa the Village Chief," Seeing the Village Chief's somewhat angry expression, Du Chen hurriedly changed his words, "Got it, teacher." ”

"Well, that's right." Hearing the teacher's voice, the village chief touched his gray beard with satisfaction.

Without further ado, let's get down to business. Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement; The terrain is good, and the gentleman carries things with virtue. I hope you can be a gentleman, you can do it.

"Yes."

"Hehe, since the gentleman is mentioned, then there is a mention of the six arts of the gentleman. The six arts of a gentleman are compulsory courses required by a gentleman, and their content includes five rites, six music, five shots, five royals, six books, and nine numbers. The teaching of the six arts is also gradual, and there are small arts and big arts. Books and numbers are small arts, while rituals, music, archery, and royalty are big arts. I'll teach you Xiaoyi first, that is, books and numbers. The six books in the six arts, that is, literacy. Liu Xin's "Seven Strategies" of the Western Han Dynasty has clouds: the ancients entered primary school at the age of eight, so Zhou Guanbao took charge of the country, and taught six books, which are called pictograms, elephant things, elephant images, elephant sounds, transfer notes, pretends, and the book of words. Pictograms, images, imagery, and sounds refer to the structure of words, and transfers and borrowings refer to the way words are used. The number in the six arts, that is, "Ninety-Nine Multiplication Song", it is also a basic course......"

Listening to the village chief's explanation, Du Chen was also shocked, it turned out that there was a ninety-nine multiplication table in the Three Kingdoms era. The wisdom of the ancients is truly endless.

The time for the lecture passed quickly, and a morning passed in the blink of an eye. The village chief is still explaining unsatisfactorily, and Du Chen has also fully carried forward the spirit of the three good students, and when he encounters something he doesn't understand, he asks, and the village chief is also very patient to explain to him over and over again. Until Du Chen figured it out.

Suddenly, the village chief got up and said, "Alright, the time is almost up." Learning cannot be achieved overnight, but must be done gradually. That's all for today, and I have to think more about it when I go back, hoping to be able to understand it. You don't need to come over in the afternoon, just go and learn martial arts from Xiao Biao. ”

Seeing the village chief get up, Du Chen also hurriedly got up and replied respectfully: "I know, teacher." If it's okay, the students will go back first, and tomorrow they will come to study with the teacher. ”

"Hehe, go ahead, go ahead." The village chief nodded again.

Looking at the back of Du Chen's departure, the village chief felt very satisfied. In his heart, he is still very satisfied with Du Chen, a student, and feels that he is very talented, respects his teachers very much, and is also very able to ask questions without shame. Although he didn't say it verbally, in his heart, he already regarded Du Chen as a student who could inherit his mantle.

"I saw that there will be a great talent in Dujia Village in the future." The village chief sighed.
