The road to the emperor begins with farming

In addition to inviting a lot of people to cheer on the first day and losing a little money, the business of the western restaurant began to be full every day after that.

Regardless of ancient or modern times, everyone has a mentality of trying something new.They have never heard of most of the dishes in western restaurants, and they are full of praise after eating them.Although the price is a little high, the environment inside is very stylish, and only in this way can they show their identity.Although Linjiang County doesn't have a family with a very prominent family background, there are still many officials and small officials and businessmen with rich family backgrounds, so they don't have to worry about business.

When the popularity is spread, not only Linjiang County, but also Yueping Mansion and even further state capitals will attract people to come here.

Luo Yu and He Weixi were so happy that they couldn't keep their mouths shut, this restaurant is too profitable.Luo Yu has already started thinking about when to open a branch in Fucheng.

If it is more profitable, it has to be a high-end club.Because no matter when, people are most willing to spend money on food, drink and entertainment.However, it is best to open the club in the capital, where is the paradise for the rich.

It's just that before Luo Yu was happy for a few days, a tragedy happened.

After breakfast, Luo Yu was about to go to the store when Luo Zhan grabbed him, "I'll take you to the school today, and you go change into new clothes and clean up neatly."

"Brother, my store has just opened, and the business has not stabilized yet. I have to keep an eye on it from time to time." Luo Yu said flatteringly, "I'll talk about studying later." It's more important to make money first, he is a modern college student , How can I still need to study.

"No!" Luo Zhan said with a serious face, "It's useless to say what you say today, you must go to apprentice with me. Don't play tricks with me, my patience is limited."

Seeing his brother's expression as if facing a formidable enemy, Luo Yu immediately felt very happy, and said provocatively: "If I don't say it, how are you going to deal with me? Huh?" After speaking, he blinked his eyes, very sorry flat.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, Luo Zhan brushed him a few times.Luo Yu only felt pain, numbness and itching all over his body, as if an ant was biting him, that feeling was really sour, whoever tried it would know.

"Brother...brother, I was wrong, I'll go...I'll go to the school with you." Luo Yu is really uncomfortable, so let's agree first, and say something nice later, his brother will definitely not force him, " Brother, let me go! I feel bad!"

The distress on Luo Zhan's face flashed across, but he knew that if he didn't cure this little thing today, he would definitely be eaten to death in the future.

"Are you sure?" Luo Zhan resisted the urge to relieve his brother's acupoint immediately, and asked slowly, "If I let you go, you little thing will definitely come to negotiate terms with me again."

"No... no brother, I will always listen to you from now on." Luo Yu begged repeatedly, "Brother, let me go soon, I really can't hold on anymore."

Luo Zhan took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and took out a pen and ink, "Since you listen to me for everything, then sign on it."

Luo Yu only wanted to be relieved, he didn't care about reading the content on the paper, so he quickly signed his name.

When Luo Zhan finally released the acupoints for him, Luo Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead, then picked up the piece of paper to examine carefully:

You must listen to your master and don't take the opportunity to make trouble;

Conscientiously complete the homework assigned by the teacher, and no cheating or cheating is allowed;

Get along well with your classmates and don't bully others indiscriminately;

Go home immediately after school, and don't associate with messy people;

……

Luo Yu regretted challenging Luo Zhan's authority at first, otherwise he wouldn't have been pointed out.It wasn't until his brother brought out the unequal treaty for him to sign that he realized that his brother had dug a hole long ago and was just waiting for him to jump into it.

Luo Yu wanted to get angry, but he didn't dare, and finally looked at his brother aggrieved, "Brother, how could you do this? You actually threatened your own brother. I didn't expect you to be this kind of brother. I misjudged you."

Luo Zhan coughed dryly, and said somewhat unnaturally: "You are still young, and you hang out with some messy people all day long, I am really worried. Didn't you say that in your place, teenage children are going to school? So isn't it normal for you to go to the school to study?"

Luo Yu felt that he could no longer talk to his brother, so he stopped talking.Since we are in this era, we naturally have to integrate into it.And reading is also necessary, lest one day someone scolds him politely, and he still can't understand, it will be a lot of fun, and it will also embarrass modern people.

It's just that in the days to come, whenever Luo Yu did something wrong, he would be punished by Luo Zhan, and it wasn't until the two developed another relationship that they were replaced with other punishments.

Today Luo Zhan specially asked for a day off, prepared the six rituals for apprenticeship, and personally took Luo Yu to Meng Xiucai's house to apprentice.Because it was not too far away, the two of them arrived within half an hour after walking.

Meng Xiucai lived in a house with two entrances, the first entrance was used as a private school, and the second entrance was where Meng Xiucai and his family lived.

This Meng Xiucai is in his fifties, of medium build, with a thin face and a long beard. He looks quite educated.

The two went forward to greet each other, and Meng Xiucai nodded in return.He stroked his long beard and asked Luo Yu what he had learned.

As a modern person, Luo Yu has really learned some books that are required for the imperial examination in this era.When he was bored, he once read thousands of books that the ancients needed to read for the imperial examination. First of all, it is not easy to be a scholar, at least thirteen books must be memorized.

At the age of four or five, he started to recognize characters, and learned "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Classic", "Children's Learning Qionglin" and so on.After literacy, start reading "Book of Filial Piety", "Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Analects of Confucius" and "Mencius", that is, the Four Books.Then came the Five Classics, which are "Book of Songs", "Shangshu", "Book of Changes", "Book of Rites", and "Zuo Zhuan".

After memorizing these books thoroughly, you can go to the scholar examination.Fortunately, although there are many books, they are not thick, such as universities, which only have more than 2000 words.It is said that the Four Books and Five Classics combined are not as thick as a high school Chinese textbook.

Among these books, he can memorize a passage of "Three Character Classic", he has heard of "Thousand Character Classic", but he is not familiar with "Children's Learning Qionglin".As for the Four Books and Five Classics, except for some classic chapters that I have learned in textbooks, I have little contact with others.

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Meng Xiucai asked again, "Can you recite the Three Character Classic?"

Luo Yu nodded guiltily, "Yes...for a little bit." Not much really.

Meng Xiucai said: "Recite and listen!"

Luo Yu then backtracked: "At the beginning of human beings, human nature is good, similar in nature, but distant in habits. If you don't teach, your nature will change, and the way to teach is to specialize. In the past, Meng's mother chose a neighbor, and if her son didn't learn, she would die... "Huh?What's next?Forget it, pick up what you know, "It's the father's fault if you don't raise it or not, the teacher's laxity and laziness... Well, jade is not polished, it's useless, people don't learn, they don't know righteousness..."

Recited here, Luo Yu glanced carefully at Meng Xiucai, and said, "That's all."

Meng Xiucai glanced at him with a half-smile, "It's really... just a little bit!"

Luo Yu was also a little embarrassed, thinking that he, a modern college student, could not even memorize the "San Zi Jing", which is indeed a bit unreasonable.But I can't blame him, how many people can memorize it.

Being looked down upon so much, Luo Yu was still not very happy. He collected some things he had learned before and said, "Sir, I can also recite "The Controversy of Duke Zhuang and Cao GUI"."

Meng Xiucai was a little surprised that someone who couldn't even memorize the "Three Character Classic" would actually recite "Zuo Zhuan", which was a bit interesting, so he said, "Let me recite it and listen to it."

"In the spring of ten years, the Qi division attacked me. The generals fought. Please see Cao GUI. The people from his hometown said... I saw that the tracks were chaotic and the flags were out of order, so I chased him."

This is what high school Chinese needs to recite. Luo Yu's memory is not bad, and he has been memorizing it until now.

Meng Xiucai nodded and asked, "Do you know what it means?"

You must know, this is what the teacher said.So Luo Yu explained it again.

After that, Luo Yu picked up and memorized a few classic poems and books learned in Chinese class, among which there were many in the Book of Songs, such as "Guanju", "Jianjia" and so on.

Meng Xiucai was finally satisfied, and felt that although this student was a bit older, he might be able to accomplish a lot in the future after careful training and teaching.Then he said kindly, "Since that's the case, I will admit you to school today."

Afterwards, he was guided to pay homage to the sage Confucius, performed the ceremony of apprenticeship, and the ceremony of opening a pen. After a few words of admonition, he was taken into the school.

The school is very spacious, with neatly placed desks and cases, and the four treasures of the study are placed on the desks.Luo Yu glanced at it, and there were about twelve or three students, ranging in age, most of them were five or six-year-old Mongolian children, and only three were about his age.Seeing him coming in, the students all looked at him curiously.

Meng Xiucai briefly introduced a few sentences, and asked him to sit in an empty seat and read by himself first, and then asked the students to come forward to recite the words one by one.

Luo Yu looked at the "Three Character Classic" in his hand, and sighed in his heart, he actually had to recite the "Three Character Classic", how sad!

Soon, Luo Yu knew that there was something more sad, that is...he found out that a 7 or 8-year-old elementary school student was given... a palm by his husband because he didn't recite the book.

Luo Yu trembled in fright. If he couldn't memorize it in the future, would he be treated the same?Then it would be... shameful and thrown home.

After Meng Xiucai beat him up, he reprimanded him a few more times before letting him go back.

The child just passed by Luo Yu when he came back. When he saw Luo Yu looking at him, he gave Luo Yu a vicious look, and when he saw the "Three Character Classic" Luo Yu was holding, he immediately showed contempt.He returned to his seat and picked up the book, shaking his head on his back: the way of a university lies in Ming Mingde, in being close to the people, and in ending in perfection.Knowing stop and then having steadiness, being steadfast and then being able to be calm, being still and then being able to be at peace...

Luo Yu: "..." Well, no wonder people despise him. Children who are 7 or 8 years old start to read "University", but he, a 14-year-old adult, can only memorize "San Zi Jing". It's sad!

Luo Yu really wanted to pick him up and go home, but he was afraid that his brother would hit him, and he didn't want to try it a second time after trying it once.Forget it, let's just hold on a little longer.

No matter what Luo Yu thought, his study career had begun anyway.

Fortunately, he has read books for more than ten years in modern times, so he can sit still.And the class time is not very long now. According to the modern time, it is from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm, with a two-hour break in between.

After school, Luo Yu went to the western restaurant.He has a separate room here, and he saw He Weixi as soon as he entered.

"Where did you go today? Why did you come here?" He Weixi asked, "Is there something wrong at home?"

Basically, Luo Yu came here in the morning these days, so he asked this question.

Luo Yu took out the "Three Character Classic" from his pocket and threw it on the table, "My brother sent me to a private school, and insisted that I study with my husband. It will definitely not be as convenient as before."

"No way, you actually only learned the three-character classic, hahaha..." He Weixi was overjoyed, looked at Luo Yu, and teased, "Could it be my eyesight, but you are only 5 years old?"

"What's so funny, I haven't studied here, isn't it normal to learn "San Zi Jing"?" Luo Yu gave He Weixi a glance, looked him up and down, "You said it as if you were better than me."

He Weixi hurriedly stopped laughing, but still seemed to be fooling around, "In this respect, I am indeed better than you at the moment. After a few years, you will surpass me."

"What? Could it be that you have read the Four Books and Five Classics?" Luo Yu asked a little in disbelief, "Just you? You who spend all your time looking for flowers and asking Liu, who have no business, have you ever read?"

Unexpectedly, He Weixi nodded very seriously, "I have read the four books since I was 7 years old, but something happened at home later, and my schoolwork was delayed."

"Tell me your story!" Luo Yu said curiously.

He Weixi shook his head, "In the future."
