The sun was setting, and as soon as it arrived, the sun shone on the courtyard of Wei Guogong's mansion.Dye the whole yard with a layer of golden shell, a few willow trees in the yard just started to sprout, and a few cuckoo birds stopped at their fingers, chirping and singing.

Zhu Xiongying was concentrating on watching "Zhu Zi's Family Instructions" when he suddenly heard a bird singing.

Looking up, I saw a cuckoo singing happily on a branch.

"Little bird, what are you singing? Are you so happy?" Zhu Xiongying asked.

Of course, he didn't expect this little bird to understand his speech, but he was too bored recently, so he wanted to find someone to talk to.

In the past few days, Li Shanchang didn't come, saying that he couldn't get away from some things, so Zhu Xiongying temporarily let go of his studies.

In modern terms, it is a few days off.

Although in the past, many students who were tortured by homework and class would naturally wish for a holiday, but now Zhu Xiongying doesn't think so.

First of all, the teacher Li Shanchang is really charming, the class is good, and he is very patient and gentle with himself as a student.

Secondly, Zhu Xiongying is really not very interested in other things.

So, this day began to become boring day by day.

"Huaiying! Look!"

Suddenly, Xu Da's grandson Xu Jinghan ran in happily holding a bamboo basket.

Zhu Xiongying took a look: "What is it?"

Xu Jinghan winked and said mysteriously, "Guess what? It's a super baby!"

Zhu Xiongying was not very interested, obviously he didn't want to play tricks of guessing and not guessing with this kid.

"I can't guess."

Xu Jinghan immediately reported his family name: "Hey, it's a cricket! It's so fun! The tiger from Mrs. Shen's family next door took me to catch it!"

Zhu Xiongying gave a faint "oh", not interested in such things.

"Don't you like crickets?" Xu Jinghan asked puzzled, "Huzi said that boys like to play with crickets."

Zhu Xiongying shook his head: "Everyone has something they like, but everyone's likes are different. You like crickets, I like reading, they just like different things."

Xu Jinghan nodded half-understood: "Maybe I'm really not that good at reading. Every time I read a book and listen to what the master said, I want to sleep, but I don't understand Daddy's words." Why do you want me to study!"

Zhu Xiongying couldn't help laughing, this Xu Jinghan was obviously soft-tempered when he was young, but he didn't dare to speak loudly, but now he looks more and more like a brat with a tiger head and a tiger brain.

Unlike Zhu Xiongying's mature soul, Xu Jinghan is a real, genuine three-year-old child.

It's normal for a child of this age to be a little more irritable, but more lively and playful, but it's just that Xu Da is annoyed that Xu Da will lose his temper once every three days or so.

So with Xu Jinghan as a foil, Zhu Xiongying easily attracted a large number of fans.

"Father also hopes that you will become a talent in the future and not be bullied by others. You should understand the good intentions of your father and your teacher." Zhu Xiongying said to Xu Jinghan with a tone that did not match the age characteristics.

"Well... I know Master likes you very much, but he definitely doesn't like me... because I can't study, I'm not a good boy..." Xu Jinghan seemed a little sad.

When Zhu Xiongying saw that the little guy was coming for real, he was a little flustered for a while and didn't know how to comfort him.

It is reasonable to say that I am still a child!

But in line with the idea of ​​humanitarianism, I can't just sit idly by.

"No, as long as you behave well, both father and teacher will like you." Zhu Xiongying comforted him.

Xu Jinghan let out an "oh", as if he didn't feel anything.

Children's emotions come and go quickly, one second they look sad, and the next second they look like nothing happened.

Zhu Xiongying rejected Xu Jinghan's invitation to play with crickets, and continued to read.

At this time, Li Shanchang walked in.

"Teacher." Zhu Xiongying stood up and performed a scholar salute.

Li Shanchang nodded in relief, looking at Zhu Xiongying with gentle and loving eyes.

This child has only been studying with him for two months, and he has already learned the rules and etiquette very well.

Even if there are no outsiders present, treat yourself with respect.Li Shanchang has always attached great importance to the way of a gentleman, he pays attention to self-restraint and return to etiquette, and asks Zhu Xiongying to demand himself according to the requirements of a gentleman. Unexpectedly, this child has already done beyond expectations.

"Hmm... Huaiying, what book have you read recently?" Li Shanchang glanced at the stone table next to him.

Zhu Xiongying said: "The students are reading "Zhu Zi's Family Instructions". The students are not talented, and I don't know if they can understand the deep meaning. The teacher can test the students."

Li Shanchang nodded: "Okay, then I will come to test you as a teacher."

Zhu Xiongying nodded and smiled, full of confidence.

"My old man asks you, there is a saying in the "Zhu Zi's Family Instructions": 'Don't rely on power to bully the orphans and widows, and don't be greedy for food and drink and kill animals'. Do you know what it means?"

Isn't this an ancient Chinese translation that is equivalent to a language test?Although this ancient times certainly won't translate articles for you, but Zhu Xiongying has learned a lot of classical Chinese, how can he be stumped!
"The meaning of this sentence is that you should not use your own power to oppress, humiliate, and persecute the lonely, widowed and weak. Don't kill raw poultry just because you are greedy for a momentary appetite."

Li Shanchang nodded in satisfaction after hearing the answer, paused, and asked again: "A gentleman requires that "when people have joy, they should not be jealous; when people are in trouble, they should not be happy." Do you know what it means?"

Zhu Xiongying answered fluently: "A true gentleman can do it when he hears about other people's happy events, can sincerely bless them, and must not be jealous. When others have disasters, he must have compassion and not gloat."

"Hahaha." Li Shanchang smiled, very satisfied, "He is really a good student for my husband, yes, I am very pleased."

Although Zhu Xiongying was very happy in his heart, it was really cool to dress aggressively, but on the surface he still wanted this humble person.

"Then what do you think the world reads for?" Li Shanchang asked him again.

He heard the conversation between Zhu Xiongying and Xu Jinghan just outside the door, and now he really wants to test this child.

"Students still answered the same as before, just as it was said in "Zhu Zi's Family Instructions", 'Reading is for sages, not academics; for officials, the heart of the kingdom is not for wealth?' Zhu Xiongying once gave a perfect score Answer.

Li Shanchang smiled and shook his head again and again, feeling even more fond of it in his heart.
