When I arrived at this door, everyone left, Ximen gave my father a culture with a black face, but Ouyang Xiaoyue was not in a hurry to leave, she looked at me, her face was cloudy: "I said Master Lin, there are still two months, my brother is going to take the exam, can you not come to my brother, how many things have my brother delayed over the years of mixing with you!" ”

"I said big sister......" I coughed and looked down at her, "Actually, I also want to talk about this matter, your brother is so timid now, do you know why?" ”

"What's the matter, because I can't make it?" Ouyang Xiaoyue said.

Ouyang next to him pulled her with a sullen face: "Old girl, don't say it, we all grew up together, he is straightforward and fast-talking, don't be like him!" ”

"What's not the usual knowledge? The people of the entire Hutou County are afraid of him, why! I'm not afraid, he Lin Xiongtu bullies men and women on weekdays, and does all kinds of evil, and you brothers are all bad for him! Everything has been done, and I won't be allowed to say it, why? Ouyang Xiaoyue was still unforgiving.

"Sister, you have also seen it, Xiongtu recently copied the hometown of the bandit leopard, which can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people, and now Xiongtu has become better, don't you see that he also took in the homeless Su Youyou!" Sullen tried his best to defend me.

"Sullen, forget it, you guys go back first, if you want to blame it, it's also to blame me for not waking up before." I said.

"Then I'm going to say it! Who doesn't know, when you chased Su Youyou to the Land Temple, and then Su Youyou ran away, they had no way to retreat to be a maid in your house, I heard that they also became your maid, this is obviously you forced her, and you don't know that the wild leopard is usually just a road robbery, they won't kill anyone, but he crazy leopard doesn't have a big brother called the mad lion, in the Jiangnan area, full of evil, all evil, killing people and goods, for him it is all easy to come! If you kill his brother, if he gets angry, the whole Hutou County will suffer! ”

A series of words showed Ouyang Xiaoyue's tough attitude.

At this time, Su Youyou, who was next to her, came out, she grabbed my clothes, and hurriedly said, "Miss Ouyang...... You, you misunderstood, it wasn't the young master who forced me, it was the young master who took me in, my mother and I wandered the rivers and lakes on weekdays, and the young master gave us a place to settle down and gave us a home! ”

"Hmph, who believes it, it's obvious that now that you're dead, you're willing to circle around this gentleman!" Ouyang Xiaoyue snorted.

I said: "Sister, let's not talk darkly, don't worry about the mad lion, I won't let him hurt our county citizens, as for the rest, you can think as much as you like, anyway, Xiaoyue, you have become more and more iconic recently......"

As I spoke, I deliberately swept my eyes around her.

Ouyang Xiaoyue was furious, and immediately pulled Ouyang Sullen away, and while Sullen walked, he beckoned to me: "Brother, don't mind! That's what my old sister has to say...... Hey, old girl, what are you pinching me for......"

The two of them gradually disappeared from my field of vision, and I smiled bitterly, saying that these impressions were indeed not so easy to dissolve.

But that's fine.

"Young master, the master has explained, Mr. is here today, you have to go and listen to Mr. lecture." Su Youyou followed behind me and said.

I gave a hache and I said, "I don't need to give lectures, if I am knowledgeable, I can teach my husband enough." ”

Su Youyou smiled very reluctantly: "This is already the thirteenth gentleman, and now it is difficult to find the gentleman, if you make this gentleman angry again, it will make the master ugly, and the lady will be angry." ”

"Really...... Then for my mother's sake, let's make it difficult. I said.

Su Youyou was overjoyed.

Came to the study, sure enough, this time a new gentleman came, and the gentleman saw me with a look of disdain, and at this time the fat head and the thin head were also next to him.

The fat head saw me and whispered: "Since the last time the young master beat a gentleman half to death, all the gentlemen in the county dare not come over, and this gentleman is still invited by the master for thirty taels of silver." ”

"Thirty taels? That's enough for half a year's expenses for ordinary people, hey, hey, hey...... It doesn't have to be like this. ”

"Young master, you'd better say a few words." Fat Tou Tuo laid me a pen and paper and said.

I sighed, and said that my father was worried about me enough, probably because he was afraid that I would become illiterate.

"Below is the Zhou Rite of the Bafang Study, you can call me Mr. Zhou." The beard and hair are all white, and the gentleman who has a bit of a fairy wind said.

I looked at the books around me, and they were nothing more than some of the Four Books and Five Classics: "Hello, sir, I don't know what you have to teach me?" ”

"When I was at the young master's age, I had already been admitted to Xiucai, since the young master has such responsible parents, he should work hard to ......"

"Stop, I'm not here to listen to you tell you a big truth, let me ask you, reader, why do you study?" I said.

The gentleman said: "Of course, it is to gain fame and glory!" ”

"Wrong!" I stood up, "Reading is for the rise and fall of the world!" ”

I said, "Culture is important, but it's not as important as defending the country!" ”

"You are a crooked reason, you don't hear anything outside the window, and you only read the books of sages and sages, that is the true meaning of reading!" The gentleman trembled with anger.

"Your statement is too one-sided, everything has its two sides, a person's choice also has its own reason, heavy literature has the advantages of heavy literature, light military also has the advantages of light military, just like governing the country, a certain period of time can indeed bring the prosperity of the country and the prosperity of the nation, but if a good policy does not change with the change of the situation, blindly stick to the old ways, and rest on its laurels, the advantages will be derived from the disadvantages, and the advantages will be derived from the disadvantages."

"If everyone in the world goes to study, then no one will learn martial arts, if no one learns martial arts, will you let the literati ride horses and carry guns to defend the country?" I squinted at him.

The gentleman put down the scroll and said, "Then tell me your opinion." ”

"The affairs of the Jin Dynasty, Mr. should know that the economy at that time was so prosperous, which led to the fact that every person of the Jin Dynasty could live and work in peace and contentment for a lifetime without much effort, in this state, not to mention that adults will be extremely afraid of death, and they will be reluctant to let their brothers and siblings and sons sacrifice their lives for the country, and then what? The Rebellion of the Eight Kings, at that time, the Jin Dynasty was all literati, there were few soldiers, and the Central Plains almost became a ruin! ”

"Nowadays, almost all the teenagers in the Tang Dynasty have become little emperors and princesses, it is precisely because in this era, in this country, it is too easy for a Tang Dynasty to live and work in peace and contentment, people think that when the demon clan invades, there will be soldiers to fight, so over time, people are more inclined to read, because they don't need to go to the battlefield to study, but in this way, there will be fewer and fewer soldiers, sooner or later, we will not be able to guard against my front, and then the people of Datang will be!"

"Do you still remember our ancestor Gaozu, he released the felons in the prison and let them fight bloodily, telling them that if you win, all the charges you carry will be written off, and if you lose, those who should be imprisoned will continue to go to jail, and those who should be killed will be killed immediately! As a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, you should have some blood, instead of blindly reading, don't look at the current Datang surrounding is stable and quiet, but in fact, the undercurrent is surging, according to the current situation, once the enemy invades, my Datang will inevitably suffer very serious losses! ”

My words made Mr. fall silent, and Mr. spoke for a while before he spoke: "But this is the general trend of the world, and you can't change it, now the generals are stationed on the border, and the people in the country want to be officials and enjoy the benefits, even if you have such knowledge, it will not help." ”

"We can change the content of the lecture appropriately, Mr. can gather some disciples, after all, Mr. is a person from the Bafang Study, and the Bafang Study is the most recognized place for literati and ink writers in our Hutou County, if Mr. can carry out critical education at that time, maybe it will be of great use to Hutou County, and even for the entire Tang Dynasty." I said.

Mr. picked up the scroll again, he hesitated for a moment, and closed the scroll: "I have always heard that Young Master Lin is a gentleman, it seems that the world has misunderstood, but Young Master Lin thinks differently from ordinary people, Young Master Lin thinks about the major affairs of the whole family and country, while pedantic scholars such as me have always started from our own interests, I am really ashamed......"
