Chapter XXXVIII
Before Tan Xiaotian could figure out what 'excellent' meant, there were footsteps outside the house and Tian Qingyou's loud voice, "Teacher, teacher, someone is looking for you outside!" ”
Hearing Tian Qingyou's shout, Yuan Lang put down the book in his hand, stood up and walked out of the study, Tan Xiaotian also followed, and met Tian Qingyou who was shouting.
"Okay, why are you shouting so loudly, I'm not deaf." Stopping Tian Qingyou, Yuan Lang reprimanded - the school hall is a place to study and study, shouting, what a system!
Tian Qingyou stuck out his tongue and made a grimace, and said in his heart, "Teacher, if your ears are normal, then I will have good ears!" ”
Ignoring the little fat man who likes to be funny, Yuan Lang came to the classroom in front of him, and there was really a person standing inside, dressed in green clothes, with a pair of round cloth shoes, in his twenties, looking like he was dressed like a descendant of a big family, and when he saw Yuan Lang appear, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Teacher Yuan, hello, I am Ah Fu, a descendant of Liu's house." ”
"It turned out to be Ah Fu, is there something wrong with Boss Liu looking for me?" Nodding, Yuan Lang asked--There are many people surnamed Cai in Meilong Town, but there is only one whose residence can be called 'Liu Mansion', that is Liu Wenxiong's home, Liu Wenxiong is the owner of Juyou Building, the richest man in Meilong Town, he is kind and charitable, and is known as 'Liu Dashanren', when Yuan Lang came to Meilong Town to open 'Learning Without Bounds' twenty years ago, he also received strong funding from him, otherwise how could he rent such a large courtyard as a teaching venue with no money and no power, so Yuan Lang has a good impression of Liu Wenxiong.
"Oh, that's the case, tomorrow is the 70th birthday of my old lady, my old man has decided to make a big deal, and tomorrow at noon in the 'Juyou Building' set up a banquet, inviting the famous gentry in the town to celebrate the old lady's birthday. This is an invitation, when the lord instructed, be sure to hand it over to you, please be sure to appreciate your face at that time. He took out an invitation card with a big red and gold lacquer cover from his arms, and Ah Fu respectfully handed it to Yuan Lang with both hands.
"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Liu's 70th birthday, Du Fu's poem said, 'Wine debts are common everywhere, and life is rare for 70 years', please reply to Boss Liu, I will definitely go to the meeting on time for tomorrow's birthday banquet." Knowing that this was the case, Yuan Lang immediately said with a smile.
"Yes, Mr. Yuan, then I'll go back first." With another salute, Ah Fu turned around and left Xuewuyan.
"Wow, that's great, Juyoulou! Teacher, let me tell you, there is a dish in Juyou Building called 'Jinyu Mantang', which is always delicious, last time my father took me to eat once, and I ate the whole plate. When the time comes, you must order this dish, I will be hungry. Ah Fu left, Tian Qingyou suddenly showed his true colors as a foodie, enthusiastically recommended to Yuan Lang, and as he spoke, even saliva flowed out, and he hurriedly raised his hand to wipe it off with his sleeve.
"Remember to eat or not, if your brain can have one-tenth of what you eat when you endorse, you won't be beaten every once in a while." Yuan Lang said with a smile, and at the same time opened the invitation card to watch, the content written on it was similar to Ah Fu's dictation, but there was one more - because Mrs. Liu likes children, so I hope he can bring a few well-behaved children to the banquet to add a little joy to the birthday banquet.
"Oh, every day, do you want to eat something delicious?" Closing the invitation, Yuan Lang smiled and asked Tan Xiaotian - a piece of Xiucai love paper, he is not a rich person, he is really the so-called two-sleeved breeze, seventy years of life is a great joy, although people did not say anything, it is impossible for him to go to celebrate his birthday empty-handed, he has to write a couplet to express his heart, and he just needs someone to help unfold it, Tan Xiaotian is smart and clever, and he is young, and when it comes to the banquet, the old lady of the Liu family will definitely like it when he sees it.
"I want to." If there is a child who doesn't want to eat delicious food, Tan Xiaotian immediately responded.
"Teacher, what about me? Ask me! Tian Qingyou's brain may not be very bright in other aspects, but in matters related to eating, his IQ can be increased by at least ten times in an instant, listening to Yuan Lang's question, he immediately guessed that the teacher wanted to take Tan Xiaotian to the banquet, so he quickly jumped over to show his existence.
"You, is it necessary to ask? Will there be anything else in your answer? Yuan Lang asked with a smile.
"Uh, hehe" Tian Qingyou scratched his head, a little embarrassed and smirked - yes, would he have any other answer than to say 'yes'?
"Smirk. If you want to go, you can go, and after you go back, you will practice five pages of words and practice every day, and hand it over to me tomorrow morning, can you do it? Yuan Lang took the opportunity to make a request.
"Five pages, can you miss two pages?" Tian Qingyou pondered for a while and asked pitifully.
"What do you think?" Yuan Lang was unmoved, and asked with a straight face.
"Uh, no, okay, let's have five pages." Looking at the teacher's attitude, it is obvious that he will not compromise at all, and Tian Qingyou can only reluctantly accept the conditions.
"Hehe, hurt your body for your mouth, sooner or later you will suffer from your mouth. Okay, let's go back first, and after I go back, tell my family that I will go with me to attend the 70th birthday banquet of the old lady of Liu Mansion at noon tomorrow, but then again, it stands to reason that your father should also receive an invitation from Boss Liu, right? Yuan Langwan said with a smile.
"Uh, really? , yes, can I stop writing those five pages?! Reminded by the teacher, Tian Qingyou suddenly realized that Meilong Town is not very big, Yuelai Inn is the only inn in the town, and his father is also a person with a head and face in Meilong Town, how could he not be invited to the banquet of the richest man in Meilong Town for his 70th birthday? In this case, I can also follow my father, so that I can avoid the pain of practicing calligraphy?
"The five constants of Confucianism, 'benevolence, righteousness, courtesy, wisdom, and faithfulness', do you want to be a person without faith and righteousness?" Yuan Lang asked rhetorically.
"Well, no." To be honest, Tian Qingyou didn't know what benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, and wisdom meant, but the child had his own intuition, and from Yuan Lang's tone and expression, he could be 100% sure that if he answered 'want to do', then he would definitely suffer.
"That's pretty much it. Every day, I will give you a task, and when I practice calligraphy, I will be with him and supervise him to finish writing. If he's lazy, tell me tomorrow. Yuan Lang commanded.
"Ah, teacher, let me supervise every day? Don't you believe me like that? Tian Qingyou protested angrily - it would be too shameless to let the five-year-old superintendent and the eight-year-old say it.
"Heh, if you can memorize the "Thousand Character Text", I will believe you." Yuan Lang said with a smile.
"Well, you still don't believe it." At the mention of this, Tian Qingyou's dissatisfaction disappeared in an instant - when he reached that goal, God knows when he will get it.
