Yu Xia came to the second room from the left of the east wing, saw that the lock on the door had been unlocked, and knew that Mr. Song had come.

Yu Xia knocked lightly on the door, and a gentle voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

Yu Xia pushed the door in, and saw that Mr. Song was already sitting behind the bookcase to review the coursework, and thought to himself that Mr. Song, as the head of the clan, was really dedicated to his work, and he was a rare scholar with both ability and political integrity.

"Yu Xia, are you here? Are you feeling better? ”

As soon as Mr. Song looked up and saw that it was Yu Xia, he smiled kindly at her and asked about her physical condition.

He knew some of Yu Xia's situation, and when they were eating at the same table on the eighth day of the lunar month, he had seen the talisman that Yu Xia gave to Mrs. Yu.

He didn't expect that the little girl who accompanied her mother and younger brother last year would quietly learn so many skills.

At this time, Mr. Song was not surprised to see her come in to find him, and stretched out his hand to ask Yu Xia to sit down opposite him, waiting for Yu Xia to speak.

After Yu Xia sat down, he looked at Mr. Song with a warm face, opened his mouth, and the words he wanted to say were choked in his throat.

When Mr. Song saw her like this, his smile deepened.

"Do you feel shameless to face me?"

As soon as Yu Xia heard this, he immediately raised his head and looked at Mr. Song.

She had mixed feelings in her heart at this time, on the one hand, she didn't expect Mr. Song to easily guess her intention, but on the other hand, she didn't expect Mr. Song to react like this.

From her heart, she is ashamed of Mr. Song.

At the beginning, Mr. Song gave her a lot of help in order to let her come to the school to study, and also had high expectations for her, and even worked tirelessly and patiently to teach her how to learn calligraphy. He is a respected gentleman, when does he need to teach a girl who has never touched a pen to write?

Yu Xia kept all this kindness in mind, but it was just ...... But she couldn't live up to Mr. Song's expectations of her.

From beginning to end, she never thought about taking the road of the imperial examination.

From the beginning, she wanted to read just to better understand the meaning of the texts that were deeply rooted in her mind.

It's just that she didn't expect that she would choose to leave so soon.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Mr. Song was not annoyed, and only smiled and said to her: "I knew that I, a student with understanding, turned out to be a master with mana, so I knew that you probably wouldn't be dedicated to learning." ”

Seeing that Yu Xia looked ashamed and lowered his head again, Mr. Song smiled again.

"You don't have to feel ashamed of me, for me, it may be a blessing for me to have a student like you, and if I get into trouble sometimes, I may need to ask you for help."

"If Mr. has anything to do with Yu Xia's place, Yu Xia will definitely do his best and do whatever he can!"

Yu Xia immediately raised his head, and his tone was firmly assured.

Mr. Song smiled with satisfaction, and half-jokingly said, "That's really good, I heard that a high-ranking person like you may not be able to ask for money." It's also thanks to the fact that you came to the clan study and wanted to study, otherwise I would really encounter something in the future, but where can I find someone to help me. ”

Yu Xia knew that Mr. Song was comforting himself, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved, so he immediately took out a peace charm from his arms and handed it to Mr. Song.

"Sir, this is a peace charm I drew myself, I hope to bless you with peace and smooth sailing in the future."

This peace talisman looks ordinary, but it is a genuine fourth-order talisman, full of vitality, wearing it for a long time can protect people's health, ordinary evil people dare not get close, this is the highest grade talisman she can draw after being promoted to the third grade.

It is naturally not easy to draw such a peace charm, but in Yu Xia's heart, she hates that she can't cultivate any higher and protect others more, because these people are worthy of her treatment.

"Thank you for the little fairy's talisman, last time I saw the talisman you gave my sister-in-law, I was envious, and now I can be regarded as getting one." Mr. Song took the talisman with a smile.

"Sir, don't thank me, this is what I should do." Yu Xia said seriously.

Mr. Song took the talisman into his arms and sat upright looking at her, his expression becoming serious.

"Do you remember when you came with your family and I asked you any questions?"

Yu Xia nodded, "At that time, the gentleman asked me, 'What is a sage'. ”

"Do you remember how you answered?"

"I said at the time: 'If you don't fight for merit, fame, profit, or contention, or for what you want, you are a sage.'"

Yu Xia already understood the meaning of Mr. Song's question when she said this.

"Sir, I think the same thing now as I did then. There are sages everywhere in this world, no matter their talents, no matter their status, as long as they have a benevolent heart to help others, they are all sages. ”

Mr. Song nodded with satisfaction.

"A teacher for one day, a teacher for life, do you still recognize me as a teacher?"

Yu Xia nodded hurriedly, "Naturally, I recognize it." ”

Mr. Song said: "Since you still recognize me as a teacher, then I will make a request to you, a student, and hope that you can practice it for the rest of your life." ”

"Sir, please." Yu Xia straightened his sitting posture and looked respectful.

"I hope you will always remember what you and I said today, never forget your original intention, and in the future, you will be able to meet people in need within your ability and lend a helping hand."

Yu Xia nodded seriously, "Yu Xia strictly follows Mr. Xia's teachings and does not dare to forget." ”

Mr. Song smiled, "I believe in you." ”

Yu Xia suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Mr. Song, this is the way to salute between scholars, and Yu Xia has always done a fist salute to others.

In the face of his respected teacher, Yu Xia certainly needs to use the etiquette of a scholar.

"Yu Xia is fortunate to meet Mr. in this life, and I have your teachings, so I dare not disappoint Mr."

Mr. Song shook his head, "It's not to disappoint me, but to not bear to see the people suffer." ”

Yu Xia nodded.

"In that case, go back." Mr. Song picked up the pen again and prepared to review the assignments.

Yu Xia suddenly remembered something.

"Mr. Song, I want to ask you, what do you think of He Sui?"

"Hesui?" Mr. Song was stunned for a moment, and was surprised that Yu Xia suddenly asked this question, and it happened that what he was reviewing was the homework handed in by Class B, so he immediately found He Xun's copy and took it out and handed it to Yu Xia.

"See for yourself."

Yu Xia took over He Sui's schoolwork, and his eyes were unfamiliar handwriting.

The handwriting is not very ugly, but it is definitely not good-looking, it looks neat but has no charm, and it is very dull, only half a point better than her.

Looking at the arguments in it, citing the scriptures and classics, it can be seen that the effort has been made, but it is always book knowledge, and I can't see any thinking of my own.

"There is more than hard work, lack of understanding, although there is no fault, but it is difficult to become a great tool." Mr. Song pointed to the piece of paper.
