Chapter Seventy-Three: The foundation is still stable, but it is difficult to stand tall
Old Master Qi pointed to one of the paragraphs and said gently: "You read this paragraph, let me see if you know these words." ”
Ergou was still a little nervous, and his family knew his own affairs, although Wang Su urged him to memorize a lot of books during this time, but there were only a few books.
In the past, the filth was not enough to boast, and the second dog had never carried anything before.
But maybe it was the gentle appearance of Old Master Qi that infected him, he calmed down a lot, and he didn't dare to do such a thing as running away.
Of course, it may also be forced by Old Man Chen's military deterrence.
Fortunately, Ergou took the book and looked at it, and breathed a sigh of relief, he had memorized it, and there were a few words in it that he didn't recognize, and the guy surnamed Wang taught him to recognize it.
Well...... Thinking about it this way, the guy surnamed Wang is still a bit useful.
The book that Old Master Qi pulled out is called "Mencius", although it is a page that I turned to casually, but the content in it is good, not only can see whether the two dogs are denied, but also can encourage the two dogs, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Ergou cleared his throat and looked at Old Master Qi. Old Master Qi smiled, nodded slightly, and signaled that Ergou could start.
Ergou took a deep breath and kept telling himself in his heart: Ergou, you can, you can memorize this article, there is no reason why you can't read it, Ergou, you can......
Ergou picked up the book of Mencius, sat up straight, and began to read aloud, when a childish and energetic voice came out of his mouth.
"Fight for land and kill people; Fight for the city, kill the city......"
"If you want to rule the world peacefully, in today's world, who can do it without me?"
"Therefore the heavens will descend on the great task, so that people will also ......"
"The rich cannot be lewd, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent."
"If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world."
Old Master Qi took the book back after Ergou finished reading one article, and re-selected one for Ergou to read.
And the second dog was also angry, and he read it to Old Master Qi in one breath.
Old Master Qi also became a little happy from the initial complex emotions, at least Ergou, the child, still has the basic skills, and it is much stronger than most of the children in the cold study when they first came.
That's the kind of character......
Old Master Qi has a headache again, and he understands all the conditions in Old Man Chen's house, so he can only say that he can barely eat and wear, but Ergou can have such skills in such an environment, which is enough to show that Ergou is still studious enough.
How did Old Master Qi know that Ergou endorsed him, and it was purely for martial arts......
Ergou Qi Lao Fuzi must be planning to accept it, as for Ergou's temperament, it is better to leave it to Lao Wang to have a headache.
"Alright."
After Ergou finished reading another paragraph, Old Master Qi raised his hand and told him not to read it, it was enough to read so much.
Ergou performed well, and Old Master Qi wanted to further see what talent Ergou had in literature.
"Two dogs." Old Master Qi said in a gentle tone, "I'll ask you a few questions, you don't have to be nervous, you can say whatever comes to mind, okay?" ”
Ergou hummed and nodded.
Old Master Qi asked: "Mencius said: 'The husband does not want to rule the world peacefully; If you want to rule the world peacefully, in today's world, who can do it? What's the explanation? ”
Ergou is just reading from the book, and he doesn't have much literary understanding, Old Master Qi's question directly stunned him, he hesitated for a moment, but still shook his head, signaling that Old Master Qi himself didn't know.
Although Old Master Qi didn't show it on his face, he still looked kind, but he was still disappointed in his heart.
He comforted Ergou and said, "It's okay, just say whatever comes to mind." ”
So Ergou pondered for a moment and said, "Do you mean that there is no one in the world who can rule the world except me?" ”
Old Master Qi still looked so gentle, he nodded slightly, and said, "That's right, but it's not entirely right, it's just literal." ”
Ergou nodded as if he didn't understand.
Old Master Qi didn't talk to Ergou in detail, this sentence is naturally not as simple as the surface meaning, Ergou explained, but he just repeated the original words.
The reason why Old Master Qi asked this question was to see if Ergou had any talent, and also to see that Ergou had a good foundation, so he had the heart to test it.
Unfortunately, it didn't turn out very well.
After all, it is difficult to produce a noble son from a poor family.
Those who are from a poor family and can still enter high school can be counted one by one since the imperial examination.
There was some disappointment, but it wasn't particularly disappointing. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, Old Master Qi didn't have much hope, how could he feel so disappointed.
Old Master Qi asked Ergou several more questions, not surprisingly, Ergou could be regarded as not answering any of them, and Old Master Qi gave up, feeling that Ergou had studied hard for 20 years, and he might be able to get a show.
After asking the question, Mr. Qi took the Ergou handwriting test again, but fortunately, Ergou was usually supervised by Wang Su tightly, and his writing was not very good-looking, but it was neat, no brilliant, and no defects, just like Ergou's talent in literature.
Seeing that it was almost over, Old Master Qi personally sent Ergou out of the inner room, and invited Old Man Chen into the inner room.
Don't say it's a second dog, and Old Man Chen is also very nervous.
Can you not be nervous? This can be regarded as a matter related to Ergou's life, and he can't help but be nervous about being a grandfather.
"Qi Fuzi, what's going on? Can my second dog come to study with you? ”
Old Master Qi stroked his beard and smiled: "Brother Chen, don't worry, please have more confidence in the child." Ergou, this kid has a good foundation, and our study must be willing to accept it. ”
"Great! That's great! After hearing Old Master Qi's affirmative reply, Old Man Chen's eyes were red, and his old tears were full of tears, and as soon as he was excited, he stepped forward and shook Old Master Qi's hand with both hands, and almost knelt down to kowtow to Old Master Qi.
Fortunately, although Old Master Qi was the same age as Old Master Chen, he was not slow to react and held him up.
"Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, my second dog might not have a book to read! ”
Old Master Qi couldn't cry or laugh a little, and it took the boss's strength to appease Old Man Chen, and when Old Master Chen was in a more stable mood, Old Master Qi told him about entering school.
"It's nothing else, the tuition fee is still what you told Brother Chen last time, just pay it once a month. You can ask Ergou to bring it to the gentleman who taught that day, but it's best to take the trouble to come yourself. Although this money is not much, it is also a lot, and it is still not safe for two dogs and a child to take them. ”
Old Man Chen nodded again and again, and said, "I know this, it's not troublesome, it's not troublesome." ”
