Be a master through ancient times

Chapter 271



Before dawn, the villagers spontaneously stood up to help. The tables, chairs, benches, dishes, chopsticks and spoons were moved here before Chuci left the house.After dawn, the vegetables were bought, and the aunts of each family began to roll up their sleeves to help, washing vegetables, chopping pies and cooking pots, creating a lively atmosphere all at once.

Chuci, the treater, had nothing to do, so he started teasing his little niece as soon as he got up.

"Shanshan, my name is Uncle, Uncle has delicious food here." Chu Ci squatted on the ground, coaxing Chu Shanshan who was still staggering a little.

Chu Shanshan looks fair and clean, she doesn't look like Chu Guang or Shen Xiuniang, on the contrary, she looks a bit like Chu Ci's uncle, so she especially wins Chu's mother's heart.

At this moment, she looked at the pastry in Chu Ci's hand, hesitated for a while, but still didn't make a sound, but hid behind Chu Xiaoyuan, and secretly aimed her eyes at the person who claimed to be her uncle, but she didn't see him. over it.

Chu Xiaoyuan pulled his sister out, held her face, and said: "Little idiot, that is our uncle, the best uncle, you go and call uncle." After finishing speaking, he gently pushed her Her back, let her go to Chuci.

Chu Ci kept a very gentle smile on his face, waiting for Chu Shanshan to come over.Encouraged by her brother, Chu Shanshan struggled again and again, but she still walked towards Chu Ci and called her uncle in a low voice.She is now one year and six months old, and her speech is still a little slurred, but Chu Ci sounds a bit like a pig.

"Good boy." Chu Ci handed her the cake in his hand, and patted her little head.Chu Shanshan was startled, she backed away with the pastry, and hid behind Chu Xiaoyuan again.

Chu Ci thought, yes, girls should be more vigilant, so as to avoid being easily deceived in the future.

Chu Xiaoyuan looked at his younger sister, sighed helplessly, then turned to Chu Ci and said, "Uncle, younger sister is timid and doesn't like to talk, so don't blame her."

Chu Ci looked at Chu Xiaoyuan's appearance as a good brother, and couldn't help laughing: "Why? We Shanshan is so cute, but she doesn't know my uncle well. When we do, Shanshan must be like you I like uncle."

Chu Xiaoyuan nodded vigorously, yes, in this world, who would not like uncle?The best uncle in the world!

The best uncle in the world didn't see what he was thinking, because it was almost noon, and the senior elders in the village had already arrived. As the master, Chu Ci naturally wanted to entertain him.

When those old people saw Chu Ci approaching, they immediately stood up and wanted to salute, but Chu Ci quickly supported them.If this ritual continues, he may lose a few years of life.

A small gesture brought tears to the eyes of these old people. They had always hoped that there would be a capable person in the village. With such a person, no one would dare to bully them.No matter where they go, others will look at them with high regard, and even the in-laws married in their village are much better than before.

Now that their mainstay is back, even though he has become an official, he is still as gentle and polite as before. This is really the blessing of their Changxi Village!

Among them was an old man with gray hair who had been staring at Chu Ci without saying a word, just watching silently.Chu Ci noticed his gaze and looked back, and found that this person turned out to be Old Master Zhang.

This is the second time this stubborn old man has visited his house. The first time is because he donated money to the private school in the village. The second time is naturally today.Since he had enlightened the original owner, Chu Ci took the initiative to say hello.

The old man didn't respond with a "hum" like before, but nodded with a good attitude.He watched Chu Ci hesitate to speak, his mouth opened and closed, closed and opened again.Chu Ci was a little strange, so he asked him what's the matter.

The old man said: "A few days ago, the magistrate of the county suddenly sent people to various places, saying that the number one scholar wanted to teach everyone the method of teaching and educating people. The poor old man was unwell the day before yesterday, so he couldn't make it to the county seat. I feel a little disappointed..."

Chu Ci paid a sudden respect, this old man really loves teaching career!If you ask him, a teacher doesn’t need to be highly educated, as long as he knows enough to teach students at this stage, the most important thing is that he has a heart that loves teaching.Although this old master has an old-fashioned personality, outdated concepts, and a bit pedantic manner, he is really good to students.In the past, he knew that he could not teach the original owner, so he paved the way for him and took him to study...

"If you have time after dinner, this junior can discuss this method of teaching and educating people with you," Chu Ci said.

The old man's eyes lit up, and he agreed, but he still said something unpleasant: "You and I have no name as a master and apprentice, and this old man can't be the number one scholar and call himself a junior."

Chu Ci couldn't help laughing, and said, "I call myself a junior because you have been teaching for many years, and you are superior to me in terms of age and qualifications. When it comes to the order of priority, I am naturally a junior."

Old Master Zhang snorted: "The predecessors have said that there is a priority in hearing the truth, and there is a specialization in art. It is also said that there is no priority in learning, and the master is the teacher. The old man is only a mere scholar, how can he be compared to the number one scholar? What's more, you used to be a scholar. The secretary of the Imperial Academy in Kyoto, logically speaking, we are all under your jurisdiction, but I would call him a master."

After Chuci heard this, he smiled awkwardly. It seems that he should stop trying to get close to this old man. He made it clear that he would not follow him, so he just respected him in his heart.

The other old people listened to what they said, and they all showed expressions of awe. Be good, people who have studied are different, and people can't understand what they say.

……

At noon, the food and wine were gradually served. There were more than a dozen tables in the courtyard of the Chu family, and a few tables in the hall.The population of their village is not too large, even counting those who work outside, there are less than two hundred people, so their family can afford it.

Since Chuci won the first prize, the villagers of Changxi Village have changed their minds.I don’t know if it’s because of the large archways erected at the entrance of the village, or because someone said that they behaved politely when they were outside, fearing that someone would associate their rude behavior with Changxi Village, so that It made their village face dull.

After Chuci became the number one scholar, Changxi Village was valued even more by the higher-ups. From time to time, the officials would be sent to patrol the surrounding area to see if anyone was presumptuous in the hometown of the number one scholar.Those officials felt that Changxi Village could produce a number one scholar because of good feng shui. If such a good feng shui came out again, they, who are parents and officials, would naturally be able to get a little bit of glory. broken.

Local tyrants, bullies, and hooligans see this appearance, and they dare not do evil around Changxi Village anymore.No one is oppressing them, the tax revenue is less than before, and the family land of Chucizhi also helps them take care of their children. In the past year, the people of Changxi Village can be regarded as falling into the blessing nest, and every family has saved money. A lot of money is in hand.

Once the money is looser, he will naturally be very generous to his family. The food and clothing are better than before. Therefore, when eating noodles at the Chu family this time, he will no longer gobble it up like before, for fear that he will eat less than others. up.

Chu Ci only came back after a year, so naturally he didn't know the changes in everyone, but seeing it now, he was still a little surprised.

But after thinking about it, he had some new ideas about going to Southern Fujian Province to improve the local style of study.In the past, he only regarded this errand as a means to avoid the dispute over the reserve position and the strife between courts and courts, but now judging from the villagers of Changxi Village, a good atmosphere will make people develop in a good way.There were two or three bastards in their village before, but when they saw them at the banquet this time, it was like a different person, and they couldn't see the feeling of rascals back then.

I just don't know, how bad is the style of study in Southern Fujian Province, so that the respected Taifu Wen still can't forget it after returning to the court, and let the powerful left minister send someone to investigate in person?
