Tokyo City, Sima Mansion, in the courtyard, Sima Guang is already six years old, and it just so happens that his sister is also playing in the yard, Sima Guang has an idea and picks up a green walnut.

"Brother Guang wants to bother my sister to peel it off for me."

Sima Guang turned around, took the green walnut, and tried it several times, but the green walnut was still intact.

His sister was very angry and said: "What kind of stone is this, Sima Guang, you sincerely want to see my jokes, and you want to be angry with me, hum."

His sister was very angry and left, and after a while, the maid of the family came over.

"Little mercy, you come here, you peel it off".

The maid Xiaolian took the green walnuts in Sima Guang's hand, put the green walnuts in boiling water, soaked the green walnuts in boiling water, and then scraped them lightly with a knife, the skin fell off, and then handed them to Sima Guang, Ma Guang happily picked up the peeled walnuts and ran out.

After another half an hour, Sister Sima Guang came back and saw that all the green walnuts were still peeled.

Sima Guang's sister asked curiously: "Who peeled this off, it's so powerful"?

Sima Guang smiled and said: "Of course it was your smart brother who I peeled off, I soaked it in boiling water for a while, and then I peeled it",

Coincidentally, his father Sima Chi came back from outside, Sima Chi served as a writer in the secretary province during the day, supervising the Anfeng liquor tax, he was wearing a scarlet round-necked robe, a white round-necked bun inside, a silverfish bag around his waist, and an official hat on his head, and walked into the courtyard, and saw Sima Guang and his sister arguing, so he asked people to call the maid Xiaolian.

Little mercy, that green walnut was peeled off

Returning to the author Lang Guan is, it was the second young master who let the little one peel off

"Okay, there's nothing planned here, you go down and do your business, and by the way, call the second young master to me."

As soon as I inquired about the situation, I knew that my son Sima Guang was panicked, and he was very angry, and he looked angry.

Sima Guang stood in front of Sima Chi and sternly reprimanded: "You kneel down for me."

Sima Guang knelt on the ground, bowing his head.

"Do you know what you are doing wrong, how can a child lie and deceive others? Come to someone, and the family law will serve".

"Father, I won't dare to do it again."

Sima Guang's mother, Nie Shi, rushed out and hugged Sima Guang: "Official, if you want to beat me, hit me, it's all because the concubine is not in good health and didn't discipline the child well, not to mention, he has already admitted his mistake, you can spare him"!

"Yes, father, brother, he has already admitted his mistake". Sima Guang's elder brother Sima Dan is also helping him intercede.

Sima Chi heard his son's answer, the anger just now had disappeared, he smiled faintly, he stroked Sima Guang's head and said: "The most important thing to be a man is honesty, if a person is not honest, then he will lose his trust in others, if the Son of Heaven is dishonest in others, it is equivalent to losing his trust in the world, so how can he contribute to the country."

"The child understands".

In the afternoon, in front of the sunshine window, Sima Guang was holding a copy of "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment" in his hand

"Clouds to rain, snow to wind, evening to clear sky." Laihong is against the swallow, and the bird is against the songworm. Three-foot sword, six-jun bow, Lingbei to Jiangdong. The summer palace in the world, the wide cold palace in the sky. On both sides of the strait, the smoke and willows are green, and the spring rain in a garden is red. The two temples are windy and frosty, and the guests who travel early on the way; A cloud of smoke and rain, a man who fishes at night by the stream".

Outside the courtyard, the singing voice in the distance, the singing voice is Liu Sanchang's < "Yulin Bell, Cold Cicada Poignant" Cold cicada poignant, to the long pavilion late, the shower first stopped. The capital tent has no clue, nostalgia, and Lan Zhou urges. Holding hands and looking at each other's teary eyes, they were speechless and choked. Thinking of going, thousands of miles of smoke waves, twilight is heavy and the sky is wide.

Affectionate parting since ancient times, even more Nakan, snubbing the Qingqiu Festival! Where do you wake up tonight? The willow bank, the wind and the waning moon. This past year should be a good day and a good time. Even though there are thousands of styles, who can you talk to?

Whenever Sima Guang recites "the smoke on both sides of the strait is green". When the singing outside sang, "Yangliuan, the wind and the waning moon".

It was so harmful that Sima Guang also recited it as "The willows on both sides of the river are green, the smoke is waning and the moon is waning, and it should be a garden of spring rain and apricot blossoms, a cloud of smoke and rain, and the night fishing by the stream, even if there are thousands of styles, who else to say"?

Sima Guang was very angry for a while and scolded outside: Hey, can't you stop for a while with that lady outside, I made a mistake again, I'm really angry

Sima Guang's mother, Nie Shi, knew that Sima Guang was a quick temper, and he often only tried to make progress in reading and studying, but did not seek much understanding, for example, he could not memorize an article after reading it several times. Often, his classmates memorized the texts, but he couldn't remember them.

Sima Guang saw his mother Nie come in, and he had some grievances, crying: Mother, am I a stupid child, I have been reciting this article for a long time, but I still can't recite it."

Sima Guang's mother, Nie Shi, smiled: "Of course not, you just need to spend more time than others, this study is not in a hurry, especially now in the enlightenment stage, you must lay a good foundation; The second is to have self-confidence and patience, not to complain or be discouraged, which is also the principle of life.

Father Sima Chi Daozi said: "Sensitive and studious, not ashamed to ask." It is also a text. Tao Yuanming's "Biography of Mr. Wuliu" of the dynasty said: "Be quiet and say little, and do not admire Rongli." Good reading, not seeking to understand; Every time I have a feeling, I happily forget to eat.

"The child understands, thank the mother and father for their teachings."

Bright moon, near the window, reading at night.
