Let me in?

Liu Bei was stunned, and stood at the door for a while without reacting.

Until he wiped off the water on his body, changed into dry clothes, put a bowl of ginger soup into his stomach and sat in front of Lu Zhi, he still felt incredible and a little confused.

Ignored me for three months, and suddenly let me in?

Lu Zhi changed into a casual home, lit the incense in the house, held a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, and looked at him with sharp eyes.

"I didn't expect that you have been guarding the gate of my house for more than three months since you climbed the Wushi Mountain, and you have no time to study, are you here to study, or are you here to see me?"

Liu Bei blinked.

"Prepare for the day in Luoyang City, and at sunset, I will return to the Wushi Mountain to study at night, and I have never abandoned my studies."

Lu Zhi also blinked, seeming a little embarrassed.

"Ahem, you say this, but I can't simply believe it, since you are familiar with the Book of Han, have you finished reading the Book of Han?"

"I read half of it, but I didn't finish it all, and I read some other classics."

"No one taught you how to read sentences?"

"Nope."

"Read it by yourself? Didn't ask anyone else? ”

"Yes."

"Read this article to me, pay attention to the sentences."

Lu Zhi pushed a pile of bamboo slips in front of Liu Bei, and handed a scroll to Liu Bei in his hand.

Liu Bei took it with both hands and opened the bamboo slip, and when he saw it, it was the "Biography of Wang Mang" in the Han book.

Well, Lu Zhi is making things difficult for him, Liu Bei can be sure.

Wang Mang's biography is the first huge chapter of the Han book, with more than 40,000 words, occupying one-twentieth of the entire Han book, and Wang Mang's life experience is written in great detail, without saving pen and ink at all.

Probably because the historical significance of Wang Mang in this era is too great, so everyone wants to study Wang Mang thoroughly, so that they don't repeat Wang Mang's mistakes.

For Liu Bei, there is difficulty, because he really doesn't know much about some ancient rare characters, but he can understand most of the words and lines.

He began to read aloud.

"Wang Mang's word Jujun, the disciple of Empress Xiaoyuan, the father and brother of the Yuan Dynasty are all named marquis of Yuan and Chengshi, and they are in the position of auxiliary government, and the nine marquis of Jiafan and the five major Sima, the language is in the "Biography of the Later Yuan". Only the reckless father Man Flea died, not waiting for ......"

The more Liu Bei read aloud, the more surprised Lu Zhi became, because he found that Liu Bei's sentence was basically correct and there was no problem.

The Book of Han is a history book, not a Confucian classic, and there are not so many controversies about sentence breaking, and everyone has a unified understanding of how to break sentences in Hanshu, so Lu Zhi can conclude that everything Liu Bei reads is correct.

If it's just a broken sentence......

Lu Zhi frowned and interrupted Liu Bei.

"After reading each paragraph, tell me what you understand the meaning of this passage, which can be explained in everyday words in detail."

Liu Bei was stunned, then nodded.

"Yui."

He continued to read aloud, and after reading a scroll of bamboo slips, he stopped to explain the story of Wang Mang in this scroll of bamboo slips in everyday language, which was quite a bit of translation.

Most of the words and sentences of the article Liu Bei can be explained by relying on the education he has received, but when he encounters some rare words, he is helpless, and can only admit that he can't read them.

His behavior made Lu Zhi confirm that Liu Bei was really the kind of person with superior talent.

He was born in the border area of Youzhou, how can he not know the difficulty of studying and the difficulty of mastering cultural knowledge, with the small clan of the Liu family in Zhuo County, it is already a breakthrough to provide the people with reading and writing education for daily words, and it is not their turn to master rare words.

It is rare for Liu Bei to master so many words and sentences just in such an environment.

What's even more rare is that no one taught him the method of sentence reading, he can still break sentences independently, and the sentences are basically correct, and his understanding of the written text is actually right, and there are only a few mistakes, which in Lu Zhi's opinion, can only be explained by God, and there is no other reason.

Thinking about it this way, Lu Zhi even felt a little regretful.

It is not easy for a street gangster with no formal education to get to this point by relying on his own talent.

If he was born in a high-ranking family, passed down the classics from his family, and has been a high-ranking official and dignitary for generations, he has become a member of those top [Valve-reading families] in the mouth of the imperial court, and he can receive education since he was a child, and at his current age, it is estimated that he would have already shined, right?

There are so many folk talents, and there are so many thousands of horses......

It's a pity that Maxima often exists, but Bole doesn't often have it, and the upward channel left by this damn world to the world's talents is too narrow.

The more Liu Bei read aloud, the more he explained, and the more correct he was, the stronger the idea of cherishing talents in Lu Zhi's heart became, and the more he felt that if he couldn't educate Liu Bei with talent, he would be sorry for his excellent talent.

But Liu Bei's background ......

Although it is a nominal Han clan relative, in this era of Han clan relatives on the street, this name is really useless.

The local tyrant industry that has worked its own is really ordinary, and it can't get into the eyes of the upper class.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was actually a two-way process of choice between teachers and disciples, not only the disciples chose the teachers, but the teachers also had to choose the disciples.

Those who don't choose are called protégés, not disciples, and the more the better.

Disciple no.

The disciple is the heir of the mantle, treat the teacher as a father and brother, the teacher dies to wear linen and filial piety for the teacher, and can also take over the teacher's academic resources and political resources, if their own children are not excellent, can not keep the family business, the disciple is another choice.

Therefore, the teacher also expects the disciple to shine, or has a deep background, and in the future, the teacher himself and the teacher's family can also get a lot of benefits, so as not to waste the teacher's energy to inherit the mantle.

Lu Zhi himself is not from a high background, and the Lu family is a good family in border areas like Zhuojun and Youzhou, but looking at the big Han, it is not ranked for the time being.

The Lu family itself is also the beneficiary of the academic downward movement of the ancient literature school, there are no glorious celebrities in the ancestors, Lu Zhi himself has been able to get to this day through hard study and a certain opportunity, and his fame is not easy to come by.

Therefore, Lu Zhi himself is also very concerned about maintaining his feathers, insisting on his own integrity, and striving not to give people an attack point in his conduct, restrain his family, and not make the family's reputation a little black.

In addition, he also wants to elevate the family to the top of the hierarchy and open up a longer road, so that his family can also strive to become a member of the Valve-reading family and ascend to the top of the Han society.

It is a pity that today's valve reading family is basically a family that inherits the classics of modern literature under the five-classic fourteen family legal system, they have a deep local background, and they also have a background in the high-level of the central court, and the important positions are almost monopolized by them, leaving very limited outsiders.

Of course, Lu Zhi is unhappy with them, but Lu Zhi is also looking forward to some special opportunities to join their group, and the teacher-student relationship is an important part of it.

If the disciple comes from a good background, the teacher doesn't need to spend much effort to get a return that far exceeds the investment, and if the disciple comes from a humble background and even needs the teacher to invest resources to help, then it needs to be considered.

In fact, high-quality disciple resources are also unattainable for a great Confucian like Lu Zhi, and good things that can get high returns without much need to pay are generally found within the Jinwen classic inheritance family.

If the scripture teachers of their ancient literary and scriptural school could get high-quality disciple resources so easily, they would have gone to heaven long ago, and would they still be pressed by the modern literary school in the folk hall of elegance?

One step is slow, one step is slow, and they are so subject to others, which makes them very angry, and when the ancient scholars used to meet, whenever they talked about it, they all sighed and hated.

But so what?

Lu Zhi sighed, and when he looked at Liu Bei again, he felt even more regretful.

Having said that, Lu Zhi did not plan to accept Liu Bei as a disciple at that time, because it was also a big gamble for him.

Use the limited academic and political resources at his disposal to train Liu Bei, and it is good that Liu Bei will soar in the future, if not, this investment will be considered a waste.

Lu Zhi was no longer young at that time, and he was busy with government affairs, and from time to time he had to fight everywhere as a firefighter for the Luoyang Imperial Court, and he was in crisis, and he didn't have much energy to seriously cultivate one disciple after another.

He must be cautious, otherwise once the cultivation fails, and he leaves the West, will the Lu family still have capable people?

Will the Lu family be cut off from now on, become an ordinary family again, and survive in this cold and harsh world?

He is not just himself, he is the leader of a family, and he has to think about the family, not just follow his own heart.

The ancient literature and scripture family has a thin foundation, not as thick as the current literature and scripture family, and every step must be cautious, Liu Bei's trial and error cost is very high, and Lu Zhi's trial and error cost is equally high.

So although Lu Zhi was very amazed by Liu Bei's talent, he didn't have any special statement, he just told Liu Bei that he could come to his house once every three days in the future, and he would take a little free time to explain some scriptures to Liu Bei.

Liu Bei was already overjoyed at that time.

Anyone who sees the glimmer of hope when they are on the verge of despair will be pleasantly surprised.

Although Lu Zhi never relented and said that he would accept him as a disciple.
