Zhao Qingqing pulled Ling Lingfa's sleeve on the side and said, "Don't beat Brother Ling, okay! Just now my brother himself lost, and Brother Ling didn't bully him." ”

Zhao Youju also said with tears in his eyes: "Steward Ling, I was wrong just now!"

Ling Lingfa looked at Ling Lingqi, who looked aggrieved, and said, "It seems that I have to educate you well! Now you all follow me back to study!"

As soon as he heard that he wanted to read, Ling Lingqi's spirit suddenly drooped, he didn't like reading the most, especially this ancient book, those classical Chinese were really painful for a person like him who had studied modern vernacular. However, he knew that his father had high expectations of him, so he began to teach Zhao and Ju to read when they were just five years old. Of course, at this time, the main thing is literacy, and it is not the most painful. However, it is still very painful to memorize the "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text".

Now Ling Lingfa has been officially hired by the Zhao Mansion as Xixi, in addition to the position of housekeeper, he has another career. In the past few years, he has repeatedly participated in the imperial examination and failed to win, and now Ling Lingfa is disheartened, he just hopes to cultivate his son Ling Lingqi wholeheartedly. Because he can see that his son is smart and clever, but he doesn't like to read, if he can guide him well and put his mind to reading, he may not fail to pass the exam in the future.

When he arrived at the West Wing, Ling Lingfa set up a room for use as a school, just teaching three students, which was an easy errand. Of course, at this time, the three elementary schools were still in the enlightenment stage, so they only taught the most basic enlightenment readings.

Ling Lingfa looked at the three children and said solemnly: "Okay, you have been studying for a long time, today the teacher will come to test you! Ling Lingqi, you first memorize the three-character scripture!"

Hearing his father name him to recite the three-character scripture, Ling Lingqi felt a burst of slander in his heart, this cheap dad is really strict enough, he wants to see himself make a fool of himself, right, he just won't let him succeed!

"At the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away. If you don't teach, sex is migration. The way of teaching is to be specialized. Xi Mengmu, choose a neighbor. The son does not learn, the machine is broken, Dou Yanshan, there is a righteous party, teaches the five sons, and is famous. If you don't teach, it's your father's fault. If the teaching is not strict, the teacher is lazy and ...... "Don't look at Ling Lingqi, who is usually absent-minded in class, but when he memorizes the three-character scripture, it is really word for word."

Ling Lingfa was smiling silently while pacing back and forth. Today's son's performance is not bad, and after just more than two months of study, he was able to memorize the three-character scripture. The Sanzijing was not popular in the Southern Song Dynasty School for a long time, but because it was catchy and easy to memorize, and also contained history, literature, astronomy and geography, and the festival of loyalty, filial piety, etc., it quickly spread and became an enlightenment book for children in the Southern Song Dynasty. Maybe there were a lot of prodigies in the Song Dynasty, so it has something to do with it.

The two siblings Zhao Youju and Zhao Qingqing had expressions of adoration on their faces, Ling Lingqi was indeed extraordinary, and the two of them did not have the ability to memorize such a long three-character scripture.

When Ling Lingqi finished reciting the three-character scripture word for word, Ling Lingfa couldn't help but show a satisfied expression on his face, he looked at Ling Lingqi, and said, "Okay, you have been able to memorize the three-character scripture completely." However, it's not enough to be able to memorize it! Let the teacher test you, in the three-character scripture, Xi Mengmu, choose the neighbor. What's the story?"

Ling Ling asked this question, of course, because he had taught the story of Meng's mother's three migrations in class, but it was difficult to say whether a five-year-old child could remember it.

However, Ling Lingfa's answer surprised him!

Ling Lingqi replied without thinking about it: "This sentence is about the story of Meng's mother's three migrations. It is said that Mencius was very playful and imitative when he was a child. His family used to live near the cemetery, and he often played the game of building a grave or learning how to cry and worship. His mother thought this was not good, so she moved the family to the vicinity of the bazaar, and Mencius imitated the game of business and pig slaughter. Meng's mother thought that this environment was not good, so she moved her home to the school. Mencius followed his students to learn etiquette and knowledge. Meng's mother thought that this was what children should learn, and she was very happy, so she stopped moving. ”

"One day, Mencius came home from skipping school from his teacher Zisi, and Mengzi's mother was weaving, and when she saw Mencius skipping school, she was very angry, and she took a pair of scissors and cut the cloth on the loom. Mencius was very frightened when he saw it, and knelt on the ground to ask why. Meng Mu rebuked him and said, "You read like I weave." The weaving cloth should be connected into an inch by line, then into a foot, and then into a zhang and a horse, and it is only after the weaving is completed. Learning must also be accumulated day and night. If you are lazy, if you don't study well, and you give up halfway, it will become useless like this piece of cloth that has been cut. Mencius listened to his mother's teachings and was deeply ashamed. From then on, he devoted himself to studying, worked hard, practiced and practiced the teachings of the saints, and finally became a generation of great Confucians. Ling Lingqi didn't even pause, and finished telling the story of Mencius.

Ling Lingqi's performance made Ling Lingfa extremely surprised, such a performance can be said to be a prodigy, after all, Ling Lingqi is only five years old! However, how did Ling Lingfa know that although his son was only five years old physically, his mental age was already twenty-eight years old! Compared with him, it was almost the same.

Ling Lingfa nodded and said, "Okay, that's a good answer! However, you still have to continue to work hard! In the future, you are not allowed to make small moves in class, you have to listen attentively, understand?"

Ling Lingqi had no choice but to whisper, "Yes!"

Ling Lingfa looked at Zhao Heju on the side again, the young master of the Zhao family was far inferior to his son in terms of talent, which made him feel relieved on the one hand, but on the other hand, he also felt sorry for the Zhao family, if he didn't teach Zhao and Ju well, he would be very uneasy. His son faintly became the head of the three elementary schools, and Zhao Youju and Zhao Qingqing were completely followers, which would make the owner unhappy.

"Ju'er, you come and memorize the surnames of the hundred families!This shouldn't be difficult for you!" Ling Ling said with a smile. Facing the owner's son, he immediately put on another smiling face.

Zhao Youju, the little guy, was stunned all of a sudden, it was really difficult for him to memorize such a long family name, he only remembered that the first word was his surname, but the surname behind it was a little unclear.

The little fellow was smart, and immediately showed a painful expression on his face, and cried out "Sigh, sigh!"

Ling Lingqi could see it at once, this Zhao and Ju were really smart enough, but this was just a little clever, he must have pretended to have a stomachache, and then took the opportunity to skip school by going to the thatched house.

However, Ling Lingqi's cheap father didn't see it at all, and he hurriedly asked with concern: "Little young master, where are you uncomfortable?" Come, let the teacher take a look!"

Of course, Zhao and Ju pretended, but this little guy pretended to be quite similar, he covered his stomach with one small hand, and ran outside while standing up, and at the same time said loudly: "Teacher, I have a stomachache and want to go to the thatched house!"

At this time, Ling Lingqi couldn't help laughing, and only then did Ling Lingfa understand that the little master was skipping school by going to the thatched house!
