Chapter 60: Be My Disciple
"Yes." Guan Jiaze rushed over, but he didn't want Du Jinning to just be modest, and his uncle suddenly became angry and inexplicably became angry, which made him very puzzled.
Isn't that inexplicable? No matter who you are, who doesn't want to be humble when someone asks you if you're particularly capable? Can you say, "You're right, I'm very capable"? Wouldn't that be a megaloman?
Moreover, if his uncle blames him for not investigating clearly, shouldn't he himself not investigate either? This kind of thing is very simple, just take a book and try Du Jinning. But why didn't my uncle do it, but turned people away indiscriminately?
Guan Jiaze couldn't figure it out, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he obediently went out and knelt under the porch.
Guan Lehe saw that Du Jinning still didn't say a word, only lowered his head and lowered his eyes, as if this matter had nothing to do with her, his eyes narrowed, and he suddenly felt unhappy in his heart, and said to Du Jinning: "The reason why Guan Jiaze was punished was all because of recommending you. Why did you not say a word and watch him be punished? ”
Du Jinning raised his big and bright clear eyes, glanced at Guan Lehe, and said loudly: "The mountain chief teaches the students, and the uncle teaches the nephew, how can we intervene?" Brother Guan was punished for me, and I have my own way of making amends for my sins later, so I don't need to say it here. ”
"Brother Ning." Zhang Hongwen was really frightened today, and seeing that Du Jinning's tone seemed to be less respectful, he became more and more timid, and couldn't help but pull her collar and whispered.
After Du Jinning finished saying that, he lowered his head and lowered his eyes again, not responding to Zhang Hongwen.
Huang Chengming, who was sitting on it, shook his head lightly at Zhang Hongwen and signaled him not to interject.
In fact, even without Huang Chengming's signal, Zhang Hongwen didn't dare to say more and move more, seeing that Du Jinning stopped talking, he quickly lowered his head and acted honestly, hoping that the mountain chief would treat him as transparent and not send fire to him.
Guan Lehe's attention was not on him at all, he only stared at Du Jinning, seeing that Du Jinning still looked calm and waveless, but more calm than him, he couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you afraid that I will directly drive you out and not let you enter the academy?" ”
Only then did Du Jinning raise his clear eyes and glance at him: "This is the right of the mountain chief, whether I am afraid or not, and it will not affect the mountain chief's decision." ”
Guan Lehe choked in his throat and almost suffocated.
Can't this dead boy say a few words of begging so that he can have a staircase?
Fortunately, there is also an old and sophisticated Huang Chengming next to him.
He had already seen that the reason why the mountain chief did this was to test the child in front of him, but it seemed that so far, apart from knowing that this child was quite quiet, even if he encountered such an occasion, he was not panicked or timid, and he had not tried anything.
He opened his mouth and said: "Du Jinning, if you don't do anything like this, you are not afraid, at most you will not enter the academy to study, and there is no loss for you." But Guan Jiaze and Zhang Hongwen are different. They still have to study in the academy. Do you know what will happen if the chief and the gentlemen have a bad impression of them? How can you compensate for the consequences? They are all about helping you, but you are doing nothing, doesn't that make them feel cold? At least you have to show your memorable credentials so that the mountain chief knows that the two of them aren't fooling around, are they? ”
When Du Jinning heard this, he seemed to be a little moved. She turned her head apologetically and glanced at Zhang Hongwen, raised her hand and bowed to Guan Lehe: "Jin Ning is willing to give it a try." ”
Guan Lehe turned his head and instructed the old servant next to him: "Go to my study and get a copy of the Book of Changes." ”
After saying this, he only felt very tired.
Ordinary children, where does he need to bother so much? Just scare two sentences, and the goal will be achieved, cry when you cry, laugh when you laugh, and endorse when you endorse it, where do so many things come from? The one in front of him didn't play according to the routine, he was not afraid to say it, and he said it very reasonably, and he couldn't put him on the wall.
Don't forget it, just talking about this heart is impressive. If this kid has a good mind and really has the ability to never forget, then he Guan Lehe can be regarded as having picked up a treasure.
In a few moments, the old servant took out the book.
Guan Lehe casually turned a page and handed it to Du Jinning: "Read this page again, and then recite it to me." ”
Du Jinning took the book, but didn't read it, but said: "I didn't go to school, and I only know three hundred thousand words." ”
Guan Lehe actually saw what she wanted to express from her expressionless little face: I'm just at this level, you can watch it.
He laughed angrily and whispered, "I know, hurry up and read it." ”
Du Jinning picked up the book and read it aloud.
She has an excellent memory, and she remembers the words on the three hundred thousand firmly; There is also Du Yinsheng's experience of reciting "Shijian", and she has no trouble memorizing this page of the book - even if she knows it, but it is not more than 300,000 words, she skips it directly, and she doesn't care about the joke, and when she feels breathless, she stops to catch her breath and continues to read.
The final result was naturally that this page of the book was read by her in a mess, which made Guan Lehe and Huang Chengming, who were familiar with the content of the book, have a headache.
Guan Lehe saw that she had finished reading a page of the book, so he quickly stopped: "Okay, okay, close the book and memorize it." ”
Du Jinning closed the book and carried it back.
After reciting two sentences, Guan Lehe and Huang Chengming half-opened their mouths in surprise: not only did she memorize exactly the same as the content she read, but even the place where she paused and gasped just now, and even read a wrong word just now, and the mistake of this word was not missed.
They looked at each other, their eyes full of surprise.
If Du Jinning could read the words in the book and memorize them after reading them once, then although this memory was good, it would not surprise the two gentlemen so much.
They have been gentlemen for so many years, and it is not unheard of by students with good qualifications. But like this, if you don't know the words at all, let alone know the meaning, but you can still memorize them like this, this memory is extraordinary.
Guan Lehe stood up excitedly, ran to the study in person, took out a copy of "Shangshu", turned a page, and asked Du Jinning to read it and memorize it. Without any suspense, Du Jinning shocked them again.
It was Zhang Hongwen, who had an understanding of Du Jinning's presence, who was stunned by the side.
This qualification is really amazing, Guan Lehe can't afford to test Du Jinning's character and heart, and immediately praised: "Good, good." Then he asked Du Jinning, "Are you willing to be my disciple?" ”
Du Jinning hesitated, turned his head to look at Huang Chengming, and asked, "Can I be Mr. Huang's disciple?" ”
