Liu's son is considered to be out of line, and the old gentleman in the private school will come to the door to complain twice in three days, making Liu's head and two heads big, and I don't know what to do.

One afternoon, after school, the old gentleman knocked on the door of Gong's house again, and Liu and his mother-in-law Dai hurriedly welcomed Mr. into the house, poured tea for him and moved the seat. The gentleman said angrily that Lao Xue was a troublemaker, and always liked to play pranks, either hiding the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone of his classmates, or holding snakes or other disgusting little animals, and scaring other timid classmates in the private school, which made people panic.

Lao Xue also often deliberately interrupted him loudly when he was interested in teaching knowledge, asking some meaningless questions that had nothing to do with the "Four Books and Five Classics", which was not the most fatal.

"In the past half a month, I rarely went to a private school to study, and nine times out of ten I skipped school to do something else. The old scholar has suffered a lot, and he kneels the most in the apprenticeship, but there is no deterrent effect, and the children cannot be taught. The old gentleman shook his head and sighed as he spoke.

"Sir, my child just came back with a bookcase, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye, and I don't know where he went crazy. Why don't you wait, I'll go and get him back and let him go? Liu said respectfully to Mr.

"The son is not filial, and the father is at fault. Xi Mengmu, choose a neighbor. The gentleman stroked his long beard, "There is a reason why Lao Xue doesn't want to study. The early death of his father had a great impact on his heart. The country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, the old school is unruly, I am helpless. Please also discipline strictly, otherwise there will be endless troubles. ”

"Sir, you say that my child is hopeless, don't you?" Liu was stunned.

"As a parent, it is true that the imperial examination is not the only choice for children. Lao Xue's child is categorically unable to learn literature and become a talent, maybe there is still a little bit of interest in martial arts, Lao Xue's nature is not bad, it's just playful. The old gentleman did not beat Gong Changyu to death with a stick, "My Qing Dynasty and the country are in crisis, and the current situation is uneasy, it is the time when people who practice martial arts serve the country, and this so-called national chaos thinks of good generals." I see, maybe ten or twenty years later, the old school will abandon the pen and follow Rong, if you are lucky, there is no problem to be a second-grade general. ”

"Sir, my grandson is a martial artist and can read and write. If you join the army and can't even read a marching map, how can you command thousands of troops? Dai was very worried and picked up the conversation.

"Old sister-in-law, I know a little bit about the old man of the Book of Changes, I calculated the future for Lao Xue, he will have noble people to help, and it is a good thing for him not to know how to read."

"Sir, you're not comforting us, are you?"

"The old man teaches students to be pragmatic and do things in a down-to-earth manner, how dare he deceive you? If you don't know how to read, you naturally have a staff and a master book in the army, and you don't need to bother too much with the people who lead the army, and the generals can just make plans and charge into battle. ”

"Is that serious, sir?"

"There is no joke, the old man joined the army for several years when he was young, but because there was too much ink in his chest and too many ideas, he was jealous and returned to his hometown."

"Can that gentleman teach my little grandson martial arts?"

"No, you can't. The old man only cares about the way of Confucius and Mencius, and his martial arts cultivation is not enough, so let's ask another master to practice martial arts. ”

"Sir, please give me some advice."

"Tangwei Chong Zhu is one of the top martial artists in our Jingnan County, and your two families are in-laws, so it would be better to send him to practice martial arts and strengthen your body."

"My in-laws are a businessman, haven't you seen him wield a knife or a gun?"

"Sister-in-law, just do what I say. The old man and he worship under the same master, and he is a junior brother. In the years when the Luchuan Red Lotus Sect was in turmoil, we also served together in the imperial court. He quit the army earlier than me, and he doesn't usually talk about this past with others. The old gentleman got up and was about to say goodbye and leave.

Gong Changyu came in excitedly with a fish basket on his back, and said to the old gentleman, "Teacher, let's go after dinner." ”

"Changyu, the teacher is not here to eat today, I just want to tell you, don't come to the private school tomorrow......" The old gentleman looked serious.

"Teacher, I paid the tuition, why don't you allow me to come to the school?" Chang Yu took the fish basket off and was puzzled.

"You go to school for three days to fish and dry your nets for two days, disrupting other people's studies, why don't you come to school today?" The gentleman asked.

"Teacher...... On my way to school, I saw a group of gamblers, stopped to look at it for a while, and then lost track of the time. So......" Changyu timidly looked at his mother holding a bamboo branch in his hand.

"You're watching alone?" Liu asked angrily.

"Two, and the eighth uncle's son Tianyuan."

"What are they gambling on?"

"First throw three curtains, throw copper coins, then roll the dice, guess the size."

"Are you involved?"

"No ......"

"I didn't buy the pork back, so I asked you to buy the broken silver of the pork?"

"Mother...... I ......"

"Did you lose?" Liu carried his son to the shrine, pressed Changyu to the ground, took off his pants, and slapped his buttocks more than a dozen times.

The old gentleman hurriedly stopped Liu: "People are constant, and then they can change." It doesn't matter if you make a mistake, it's important not to make the same mistake. If violence cannot solve the problem, we must enlighten and enlighten them well. ”

"Sir, don't you know, I let this rabbit cub buy things, every time it's like this, either short of catties or two, or empty-handed, I beat him several times, and he didn't change his teachings, and he took Tianyuan with him today, he was bold enough to want to anger me!" Liu raised the bamboo branch again and whipped it at Chang Yu's hands.

"Mother, I want to win, but every time I win first and then lose, I ...... my luck back" Chang Yu raised his head and quibbled, although his buttocks were beaten by the bamboo branch and the pain was hot, he didn't cry out in pain.

"Changyu, it's not your turn to get something for nothing, and pie in the sky is not your turn. Since ancient times, how many people have gambled and gone bankrupt and made a fortune? "Mr. took the opportunity to teach Changyu.

"Teacher, everyone understands these truths, but I really can't control myself." Chang Yu rubbed the back of his hand, "I'm sorry for my dead father and mother......"

"Since you have the intention of repenting, then get up quickly." The old gentleman reached out to pull Chang Yu, who was kneeling on the ground and throwing his body to the ground.

"I don't get up. My mother said that if you do something wrong, you have to kneel down in the shrine and repent to your ancestors and ancestors. Chang Yu said that he would not get up.

"Sir, I'm a woman, and I don't know how to say anything, I just know that I can't fight it." Liu put down the bamboo branch in his hand and said to his mother-in-law, "Mother, you go to the kitchen, help me make a basin of water, and take some broken porcelain pieces, I want to serve ......."

"Okay, I'll go." Dai responded.

"Old sister-in-law, by all means." The old gentleman raised his palm and motioned for Dai to stop, "Punishment is not the ultimate goal, admitting mistakes and bowing down to the ancestors will make the children feel afraid." ”
