Thinking of this, the master lowered his tone and said: "Let me ask you, the so-called people who govern the country in the ordinary world, the old and the people are filial piety, the elder and the people are younger, and the people are not the same as the lonely, and the way of a gentleman is also the way of a gentleman. What is the meaning of this sentence? ”

Liu Haojia thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The credit for calming the world lies in the people who govern the country: the emperor respects the elderly, the people will respect the elderly, the emperor respects his brother, the people will respect his brother, the emperor is sympathetic to the orphans, and the people will not turn their backs on their orphans, so people with high morals have a way to manage others and restrain others!" ”

After listening to Liu Haojia's answer, the master was very surprised and satisfied, so he asked a few more questions, and Liu Haojia answered them one by one! Other students who were familiar with Liu Haojia were also very surprised to see how fast and accurate his answers were!

After receiving a satisfactory answer, although the master tried to maintain the stereotypical affection on his face, the joy in his eyes was almost overflowing! In the end, he said with satisfaction: "Okay, it seems that you have not abandoned your studies during this time, and you have made great progress!" Go back and tell your parents, and next month's shackles will be free! ”

Master's words caused a commotion among the students present, followed by a sigh! The younger students don't think much of it, but the older ones already know the difficulties of life and naturally understand what this means!

Three taels of silver per month, plus other gifts for teachers, is definitely a heavy burden for the average family! And most of the people who study here just have a little extra money at home! Waiving a month's shackles will naturally make the family breathe a sigh of relief!

And more importantly, it is a great honor to be free from this month's shackles! This means that the teacher's recognition of the student is definitely equivalent to the teacher's praise of a good student's parents at the parent-teacher meeting!

And the students all know that on the days of the monthly bondage, the master will definitely tell every parent about it! For these students, this is equivalent to giving their parents a chance to talk, and even students who are poor in learning may even be taught by their grumpy parents!

After checking Liu Haojia's schoolwork, the master patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and motioned for him to sit down, and then walked to the next person. Liu Haojia stabilized his mind and picked up the book to continue studying. But I was thinking in my heart: this scene was successful, and I am afraid that I will have to put some more effort to keep it in the future!

The whole day passed quickly, and in the evening, Liu Haojia said goodbye to his master and rushed home with a basket.

As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I saw my mother carrying a plate of vegetables from the kitchen to the main room, and my brother and father, as well as Liu Guangyuan's father and son, were washing by the courtyard wall. It seems that they have just finished a day's exercise, and they are scrubbing their naked upper bodies despite the cold autumn wind!

At this time, Liu's mother saw that Liu Haojia was back, her eyes lit up and she said loudly: "Oh, son, you're back!" I'm going to have a headache today! ”

Liu Haojia didn't rush to answer his mother, first saluted everyone, and then said: "I've seen my father, mother, uncle, and several brothers!" Today was good, no headache at all! And one more thing! ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment and said loudly: "I did well in my schoolwork today, and Mr. said that I will be exempted from the shackles of next month!" ”

A few people in the courtyard were stunned at first, and then they were overjoyed! Father Liu took the lead and walked over and patted him on the shoulder vigorously and said, "Little Er, well done!" You're smarter than your brother! ”

Originally, he was very happy, and Liu Haonian immediately rolled his eyes next to him and didn't make a sound. Of course, he didn't have any jealousy, because he knew that his brother was indeed better at reading than himself! You are more suitable to be a military general or a soldier!

Mother Liu was even more overjoyed when she heard it! She quickly ran into the main hall, put the plate on the table, and then grabbed a handful of copper coins and ran out, shouting repeatedly: "Guangyuan, you go and get half a cooked pig's head, and then make two catties of wine, thanks to the blessing of Xiaoer, today you let you two have a good drink!" ”

Father Liu was naturally overjoyed when he heard this, and agreed one after another! Liu Guangyuan took the copper money to buy the pig's head and wine, while Liu's mother pulled Liu Haojia to ask questions and asked everything that happened today! The father and son of the Liu family and the brothers Liu Jinbao were naturally on the side.

After achieving the goal, Liu Haojia naturally explained in detail what happened today in a loud and detailed manner, and Liu's mother was full of energy! Even the few pure martial artists who were listening nodded again and again! After all, as a parent, there's nothing more exciting than having a good child!

Liu Haojia finally finished speaking, and Liu's mother took the maid Huan Cuixing to the kitchen to add vegetables! Waiting for Liu's mother's dishes to be served on the table, Liu Guangyuan, a housekeeper with the banner of a housekeeper, had already entered the courtyard door with a lotus leaf bag and a jar of wine.

This meal was full of interest and the family ate with great interest! When the wine was half-drunk, Father Liu also imagined the grand occasion when his old son became the champion, and the others naturally echoed loudly! In his interest, Liu's father even allowed Liu Haonian and Liu Jinbao to drink two glasses of wine each, and the family was happy and happy for a while!

But they didn't know that Liu Haojia had already made up his mind, and he didn't plan to follow the path of a civil official at all!

On the one hand, he is from a noble background, and he is a natural enemy of the civilian group! So even if the Liu family declines, it will only make the civil officials collectively less vigilant against him!

For so many years, the nobles of the Ming Dynasty have not cultivated the children of the civil service, but these people have all been tacitly suppressed by the civilian group, and they are just wandering in the low-level bureaucratic group! They won't allow Hoon Gui to occupy a piece of land on their own turf!

Secondly, Liu Haojia feels that there are too few things he can do as a civil official! Only when he becomes a military attaché can the plan in his heart be fully implemented. So his attitude towards reading is to know, and to understand it!

The family finished dinner happily, and the Liu family, father and son, and others had to go to drill weapons after resting, Liu Haojia naturally sat in the study and picked up the collection of books to take a closer look.

There are many kinds of books in the Liu family's study, and there are five large bookshelves! Although the Liu family is not a family of scholars, they have accumulated a lot of books in the past two hundred years! Although there are not many related to the Four Books and Five Classics, the most are miscellaneous books on all kinds of strange and strange and rural history! And these books are the most in line with Liu Haojia's heart! The rest of the world is going to fall on these books!
