The backyard of Zizhu Academy is busy every day, with classes in the morning and a workshop for students in the afternoon, and the sound of striking iron and quarrels in the afternoon.

At first, it was just last year's students who were busy here, but later it attracted some new students to watch the old students arguing with a drawing, or discussing something with the blacksmith.

But whenever they wanted to ask what they were doing, the old students always said mysteriously, "You'll know when the time comes, and it will definitely surprise you!"

Qinglian was naturally attracted to them, and would sit in a corner every afternoon and watch them busy.

She didn't know what they were doing, but she felt like she was doing something funny.

Therefore, I also watched a huge guy gradually take shape in the quarrel of these people.

A row of wheels under a horizontal iron bucket that had never been seen before.

At this time, she sat on the wall and watched them busy in the courtyard, and from time to time she looked under the wall, where Ren Baqian and a young girl were sitting opposite each other.

The girl looked like she was fifteen or sixteen years old, and her hair was simply tied up and knotted. It's a pity that the girl's hair is like a bird's nest hanging on the back of her head after finishing it like this.

The girl wore a bandeau and a short skirt in animal skin, and the exposed skin was bronzed, full of health and wildness.

The girl was Zhuo Hua, with an ignorant look on her face at this time.

"The horse walks the day, and the elephant can walk the field!" Ren Baqian said as he pushed the opponent's chess pieces back.

"Teacher, why?" Zhuo Hua raised his head, his face dazed.

"This is the rule, everything in the world is under the rules, heaven and earth have the rules of heaven and earth, society has the rules of society, and there are rules for playing chess! Everything we do must be within the rules, because each of us is a part of the rules. The smart thing to do is to understand the rule and go with the flow. The stupid way to do it is to shout that I want to go against the sky, I want to break the rules. Ren Baqian said slowly.

"Then I'll kick over this chessboard now?" Zhuo Hua asked with flashing eyes, his expression a little eager to try.

"Then I won't play with you! Everyone is playing on the chessboard, and if you kick the chessboard, how can others play with you? The next time I see you, I will hide far away!" Ren Baqian laughed.

Qinglian, who was sitting on the tree, listened to this seemingly childish answer thoughtfully.

Ren Baqian is right, everyone is within the rules, and everyone is part of the rules. If you want to do something, you have to follow this rule.

Even if it seems to be a breaking thing like a change of dynasty, it is actually done in accordance with the rules.

The change of dynasties in the past dynasties is all because the people are not able to make a living, the people's grievances are boiling, and finally the smoke is everywhere, and finally the dynasty is destroyed.

That's the rule.

If the dynasty is at its peak and wants to change the dynasty, no one will support you, then it will definitely fail.

Zhuo Hua patiently played chess with Ren Baqian, and after Ren Baqian took a step, she quickly picked up a chess piece and fell.

"Playing chess, like life, requires ten moves to take one. Because you make a mistake, you can't regret it.

The difference is that you can start over when you play chess, but you can't do it in life, and there is no chance to do it again. Ren Baqian said after eating Zhuo Hua's car.

"Oh!" Zhuo Hua scratched his head and quickly ate Ren Baqian's cannon.

"Poof!" Qinglian almost laughed out loud in the tree.

"General!" Ren Baqian patted the chessboard.

"People will always encounter all kinds of things in their lives, and many times they will be blinded by what is in front of them, unable to see the danger behind them, and forgetting their goals. So keep reminding yourself. I want to save my body three times a day!" Ren Baqian threw the chess pieces on the chessboard and got up to leave.

Zhuo Hua and Zhuo Wei both looked at Ren Baqian's back with adoring eyes, feeling that what he said was so profound that they couldn't understand what he was saying at all.

After Ren Baqian left, Zhuo Hua turned his head and asked Zhuo Wei, "Why did the teacher say this?"

"Look at you stupid!" Before Zhuo Wei could reply, he heard Qinglian chuckle on the wall.

Zhuo Hua suddenly looked up, and his hand touched the short knife on his waist.

"Look, the muscles have grown into the brain, and the brain is full of nothing but fighting, killing, and killing, but eating, right? What he means is to let you use your brain more when you have nothing to do! There is no turning back in life, and only by using your brain more can you avoid going down the wrong path. But I guess he's playing the piano to a cow, and you can't remember it anyway. Qinglian smiled lightly on her lips with her finger on the wall.

Zhuo Hua's fingers slowly left the hilt of the knife, but he was not angry, he raised his head and asked, "Are all scholars like teachers?

"There are a lot of scholars, but there are not many like the governor. Qinglian thought about it and said seriously. "People have all kinds of things, and so do scholars, most of them are in the fly camp, either for profit, or for fame, there are not many people who really have a mind. ”

Qinglian still remembers what Ren Baqian once said: "Knowledge has no borders!"

It was that sentence that completely reversed Ren Baqian's image in her heart.

"That's why you're here to study?" Zhuo Hua asked, getting up.

"It's a coincidence!" Qinglian smiled and said, "I originally came here for something else, but I'm very interested in what I'm talking about here." ”

"Will you use these things in Great Xia and then attack us?" Zhuo Hua looked at him with burning eyes, his lips were tightly pursed, and his face was very serious and serious, as if Qing Lian said that she would, she would slash it over.

"No!" Qinglian shook her head and said, "Life is short for a hundred years, and my life is even shorter. With that thought, I might as well figure out how to live longer. ”

"Then I won't hit you next time. Zhuo Hua waved his hand and showed a hearty smile, turned around and jumped away.

Qinglian sighed, as if she could beat herself.

But this girl is really simple.

Calculate the time, I should have sent my own book, right? I hope there will be no problems in the middle, the taste of owing people tuition.

He swung his legs on the wall in a daze, and did not return to his home wine store until evening.

"Is there a whereabouts of the person you are looking for?" Ning Caichen asked with a smile after seeing her.

"It's been a long time since I stopped looking for it. It doesn't have much to do with me anyway. Qinglian put her hands behind her head and looked at the roof.

"Someone came to you in the afternoon, and when they saw that you weren't there, they said they would come back in the evening. Ning Caichen said.

"Oh, what?" Qinglian lifted her spirits when she heard this.

"It's a Great Xia man, and he looks like he's hurt a bit. Help me peel the potatoes? I see that you carry a sword on your back every day, and your swordsmanship must be very good. Just peel off the skin of these potatoes and you're good to go. Ning Caichen took six potatoes and put them on the table.

"Is it delicious?"

"I've asked for french fries, you can mix mashed potatoes, you can use it for stew, and that's it for tonight. ”

"Oh!" Qinglian picked up the potato and looked at it in her hand, it was bigger than a fist, and then pulled out the long sword behind her back, and with a flash of sword light, the skin on the potato fell in a circle.

"What a powerful swordsmanship!" Ning Caichen said with a smile.

"It's okay. Qinglian peeled six potatoes and threw them to Ning Caichen, and then took out the dictionary that Ren Baqian gave her to look through.

Half an hour later, the restaurant was filled with the thick aroma of stewed meat, much more fragrant than usual.

"Ah, my sister used spices?"

A moment later, the two sat down at the table, in front of them a pot of broth stewed with meat and potatoes, a plate of side dishes, and a pot of fruit wine.

Qinglian felt at the time that in fact, it was quite pleasant to live like this, listening to those unheard of things every day, and after coming back, there was the amazing craftsmanship of the Ning family's sister!
