Gu Huai walked into the living room with a pot of wine, sat down at the round table in the room, set up four wine glasses, quickly filled them, and said happily: "Lao Li, Lao Xie, Lao Bao, life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the sun, come and drink a glass first." ”

Is this the sound of the ancient acacia? makes people unhappy when they hear the boss, why are they so happy?

Li Yiru, Xie Mubai, and Bao Dalei, as old friends of Guhuai for many years, were very enthusiastic, and they didn't want to sweep away their interest early in the morning, and they were good drinkers, so they left their respective stools and chairs and sat down. Picking up the wine glass, he was just about to lean it to his lips, when he heard the sound of a few swords slashing in the air outside the door, and at a glance, the child Shi Xingyun in the courtyard was practicing swords, and then he suddenly understood.

This kid is really okay, he knows how to "smell the chicken and dance"?

The wise Venerable Master drank the wine in his glass, and then said, "Gu Huai, why do you let your child get up so early?" ”

This kind of words came from the mouth of Li Yiru? Gu Huaiji didn't believe it, and said: "Zu Ti was born in a big family, with an open-minded and frank personality, and he was a good man when he was young, and he eventually became a national hero. What's wrong with letting my child follow suit? ”

The Venerable Master smiled and replied, "There is nothing wrong with it. ”

Being able to get Li Yiru's approval, Gu Huai was very happy, and hurriedly filled the wine glasses of the four people. I was about to have another cup, but unexpectedly I heard the wise master say: "Although it is good for Zu Ti to sing the chicken and dance, if he does not have the reading of the back section and is friendly with Liu Kun, how can he talk about making achievements in politics and military affairs, he will not be able to become a national hero." "It's so interesting.

Gu Huai knew that among all his friends, the wise Venerable Master Li Yiru was both civil and military, and he was only eight buckets, and if he didn't listen to what he said, he would be a little unreasonable. Although he didn't like it, he also said with a smile: "Lao Li, I will be your disciple Liu Qing like a nephew, and you can also be a child like a nephew of Xingyun!" ”

Isn't this a clear trick, moral kidnapping, forcing Li Yiru to teach children to read?

Bao Dalei bumped into one of the three and said: "If you have the opportunity to teach people to learn well, you don't need Gu Huai to say, Lao Li is willing to serve." ”

Li Yiru drank the wine in the cup, glanced at Bao Dalei, and said: "Guhuai, today's Great Song Dynasty, what you want is cultural governance, not martial arts. You let your children learn from Nashi Zhizu, it's not that I said you, it's extremely unacceptable. Seeing that Gu Huai's eyes were confused, he then said: "Although the ancestor is good, he is not trusted by the court, so he became angry and died in Yongqiu." It's not far from here. ”

Gu Huai said with a smile: "Lao Li, it is better to be angry and angry about your family and country than to have no home and country." It's nothing. ”

Li Yiru smiled faintly, filled the wine glasses of the four people, saluted Gu Huai, and said, "The child is your apprentice, just listen to you as a master." ”

When Gu Huai heard these words, he was very happy, and he took a sip of the wine glass. Just as Shi Xingyun walked in with sweat, Gu Huai said to the child: "Xingyun, in the future, you will not only be my apprentice, these three old men will have a share." Come forward and call Master. ”

What does Shi Xingyun know, he followed the wishes of his master Gu Huai, bowed deeply to Li Yiru, Xie Mubai, and Bao Dalei, and fulfilled his status as master and apprentice.

Xie Mubai saw that the child was dexterous and liked it, and asked, "Xingyun, do you have any envy in your heart?" ”

Shi Xingyun replied happily: "As a person in the rivers and lakes, if you can be like Bai Yutian's big brother, this life is enough. ”

There are more good people in the world, no matter how good Bai Yutian is, but the rivers and lakes are clothed, which is insignificant. However, what the child thinks, thinks, and says, how to match the closest person, there is nothing to worry about.

Xie Mubai smiled and said, "Xingyun, since you have your ambition in mind, you have to fulfill your deeds. Since he should be diligent and studious, he will work hard and move forward bravely, without complaint in life and regret in death. With this kind of spirit, with the right path of the family and country in your heart, any good person can be an example for you to learn, and you don't necessarily have to learn from your big brother Bai. You know? ”

Shi Xingyun knew there. But seeing that Master Gu Huai's eyes were full of earnest anticipation, thinking that he had to remember if he didn't know, he bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "Remember." ”

Gu Huai was very happy, and said earnestly: "Xingyun, your master Li Yiru just said that if you want to make a difference in the future, both civil governance and martial arts are indispensable. Master can barely teach you in martial arts, but in terms of cultural governance, he doesn't know anything and has nothing to teach you. You have to learn from your master Li Yiru in the future, remember? ”

Shi Xingyun replied, "Disciple remember. ”

What Gu Huai wanted was the words "disciples remember", and said: "That's good." In terms of martial arts, he learned from the 'Shizhi-Zu Ti', smelling the chickens and dancing; in Wenzhi, he learned from the 'Zhigui-Kuang Heng', and chiseled the wall to steal the light. ”

Shi Xingyun bowed and said, "Yes, Master." ”

When the Venerable Master saw Shi Xingyun's serious answer, he felt a sense of pain in his heart, and said, "Child, do you know what 'cutting a wall to steal light' is? ”

Shi Xingyun replied: "The book says that the sage Kuang Heng's family was poor since he was a child, and he couldn't light the lamp at night, and the neighbor's family was rich, so he dug a hole in the wall and borrowed the neighbor's lamp to read a book. This is 'cutting the wall and stealing the light'. Seeing that the Venerable Master had a serious face, he was afraid that he had said something wrong, and asked, "Master, am I right?" ”

The wise master replied, "That's the way it is. But... Do you think he Kuang Heng did the right thing? ”

The world takes the ancient sages as an example to inspire people to study hard, so that they can gain fame and glory in the future. Shi Xingyun grew up with the world, and he is willing to come together with most people. If there is a mistake, then where is his fault? Shi Xingyun didn't understand and asked, "Master, do you think he did something wrong?" ”

The Venerable Master replied very solemnly, "I have done something wrong." Since it is a wall shared by two families, since both families have a share, he has no right to dig a hole in it and damage it just for his own selfish desires. Although he Kuang Heng was diligent and studious when he was young, which is worthy of recognition, but this is a selfish act, or we can't learn from him to benefit himself and harm others...... "I want to stop talking."

The Venerable Master of Wisdom wanted to go on to say, "When he was young, he dared to cut through the wall and steal light for his own needs, and when he grew up, he didn't dare to do anything for his own needs." Time has also confirmed that after he Kuang Hengzhen became the prime minister in his twilight years, he took advantage of his position to steal land (referring to illegal occupation of land), and was finally demoted to a civilian and died of depression. Seeing that the child is young and motivates the child to be diligent and studious, this kind of thing must be unwilling to say.

Shi Xingyun is indeed clever, and seeing that Master Gu Huai's face is displeased, he explained and said: "Master, listen to what Master said, that 'chiseling the wall and stealing light' is good for yourself and hurts others, and you can't help it." Let's change it to 'Candlelight Night Reading'. ”

Gu Huai said happily: "Yes, yes." If the small hole is not filled, the big hole is bitter; It's not too late to make amends. It's better to 'read at night', listen to the heart. ”

Seeing that the master and apprentice were full of joy, the Venerable Master said lightly, "Xingyun, there are some things that should not be said, but the world is strange, and people's hearts are exquisite, and it is better to know than not to know. ”

Shi Xingyun was extremely polite, bowed down and said, "Master, please speak." ”

The wise Venerable Master Li Yiru said: "Virtue without talent is a blessing, without virtue without talent to be quiet, virtuous and talented are envied, and talented without virtue cocoons themselves." ”

Shi Xingyun was a child, seeing that he had four options, he didn't know how to choose, and asked, "Master, how should I choose?" ”

The wise Venerable Master replied, "If you have no talent, you will not come; If you don't have a reward, you don't go. If you are willing to put down the whole family and country in your heart, you must be proud of the prosperity of your family and country, and you must be virtuous and talented. ”

Gu Huai said: "Xingyun, just listen to your master, even if you are jealous, you have to be a virtuous and talented person." ”

Shi Xingyun said, "Yes, Master." ”

Gu Huai saw that the child's head was covered with sweat and his face was stained, and he said very distressedly: "Wash it up." Shi Xingyun walked out of the living room in response.

Bao Dalei waited for the footsteps of the children to go away, and said with a smile: "Old Gu, life can be proud, don't get carried away!" ”

Gu Huai filled the wine glasses of the four people, raised the wine glasses to the three of them, and said with a smile: "With Lao Li here, why get carried away once." Come, drink. ”

The three of them raised their glasses, collided with Gu Huai, and drank the wine in the cup happily.

At this time, the five Liu brothers came over, sat down together, and had a drink.

Liu Yijin said: "There is trouble again. ”

Gu Huai didn't believe it, and said: "I haven't eaten breakfast yet, so it's a problem, do you really want to leave?" ”

Liu Ermu smiled: "I don't really want to leave, how can I make trouble early in the morning." ”

Gu Huai asked, "Is it really troublesome?" Who is in such a hurry to leave? ”

Liu Sanshui said: "Who else can help those pretentious things with money." ”

Bao Dalei said with a smile: "People are rich, and it is appropriate to be pretentious." ”

Liu Sihuo said with some disbelief: "Why is he making trouble? Except for eating a few meals from others, but not a dime. ”

When the wise master saw Shi Cuiyun's sister and brother walking in with breakfast, he hurriedly removed the teapot on the table and said, "If you have something to eat, don't talk nonsense." ”

The other eight people felt reasonable, moved their seats, and waited for Shi Cuiyun's sister and brother to sit down, and lifted their chopsticks to eat.

Shi Cuiyun saw that the nine old men were only concerned about eating, and they didn't say a word, so they felt too quiet, and asked softly: "Old Li, can Big Brother Bai rush back today?" ”

Gu Huai said: "Why are you asking this?" ”

Shi Cuiyun said: "I heard Sister Yan'er say last night that many people want to be unfavorable to Sister Yingying, and I'm afraid of ......."

The Venerable Master of Wisdom said, "Child, it is difficult to avoid danger on the road, and you are not free when things come to an end. Nothing to be afraid of. ”

Shi Cuiyun asked herself a weak woman, and sent someone under the fence, no matter how kind she was, she couldn't help much, so she didn't say anything.

After eating and drinking for a while, Liu Wutu put down the dishes and chopsticks and said happily: "I haven't beaten anyone for a few days, and I seem to have some itchy hands today." ”

Bao Dalei smiled: "Old Five, it's not just you who have itchy hands, everyone has itchy hands." ”

Liu Wutu got up and walked towards the door, saying as he walked: "Since this is the case, then go to the front and take a look." ”

A few old men felt very reasonable, walked out of the living room, took their respective eaters, and headed towards the hall of the manor.
