Xue Jiazi

Xue Xun is happy to develop new markets in the capital, but Xue Pan in Jinling is in dire straits.The small body is still chubby, very festive, but his complexion is not so good, with light blue eye circles, the whole person is like a steamed stuffed bun overnight, not energetic, and in front of him is a full body. The one-foot-thick paper is the result of his handwriting practice.

Hey, speaking of it, it's self-inflicted and can't live!Who made him show off!When his father was thinking about the umbrella surfaces of those progressive umbrellas, he gave a lot of suggestions, such as tigers and goshawks, which are all his masterpieces, and those that look very artistic. The layout, which made the master see his eyes for discovering beauty, and he wanted to start cultivating his skills in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting!

What kind of aptitude is good, in fact, it is the result of Xue Pan's cheating!Just browse Baidu and look at the famous paintings of past dynasties, even a fool can tell one, two, three, right?This is good, every day he wakes up early in the morning and reads for an hour, and then he starts to practice calligraphy and painting. In the afternoon, he either plays the piano or memorizes books. He can't stop for a moment. !

It's just that he can't even act coquettishly and shout bitterly. It's not that he doesn't want to, but he knows in his heart that if he says something wrong with his wife, he will probably be kicked out by his wife because of his mother's doting on children. But his father managed to invite him here, and he didn't want to wait for his father to come back and suffer his own ass.

"Well, the word has changed a bit, it's not so ugly anymore, but it's still not enough! Look at it yourself, here, here, there is a lack of strength, you have to know, the word is like a person, during the scientific examination, The examiner can't see you, and doesn't know your identity, family affairs, and there is only one way to gain favor, and that is good writing. As long as your writing satisfies him, even if your writing is a little poor, There is also the possibility of passing, if it is said that the scientific examination can be opportunistic, this is one of them."

The master stroked his beard, took a look at the handwriting that Xue Pan had just written, and told Xue Pan earnestly the reason why he was asked to practice calligraphy. He was still very satisfied with this child, although he looked spoiled, but this The child still knows good and bad, and he has never heard of it. There is only such a child in the Xue family's house, and the master and wife of the Xue family are very fond of this child. He even heard people say that there were several children in the past The master was kicked out because the child couldn't bear hardships and was angered by the wife in charge, so he quit.When he first heard about it, he felt that the child was grown in the hands of a woman, and he was afraid that it would be destroyed. When Master Xue came to look for him, he was not very interested, and even left after a few months I mean, I don't think this child is really unexpected.I don't know if it's because he's grown up, or if it's because the previous masters taught him the wrong way, at least in his own hands, this child is still very obedient.Look, after just talking to him, the child immediately became more energetic and began to write more seriously. It seems that my method is correct. The child should not just order, but reason, and tell them Clearly, I still have a sense of proportion in my heart and know how powerful it is, unlike those pedantic people who feel that there is no need to communicate with children.

Thinking of this, the master smiled with satisfaction, sat down again on the side, and corrected Xue Pan's homework the day before. The whole study room was quiet, only the cicadas outside as an accompaniment, which made the place even more peaceful.

"Master, I have written another one."

Xue Pan finished today's handwriting practice project, handed the last one to the master, and stood upright on the side waiting for the master's instructions. Also unwilling to miss out.Now Xue Pan has learned the rules very well, not only because of this master, but also because of his father's precepts and deeds. People like them have been very particular about rules and etiquette since they were young. Look at the original book, that Xue Pan Even in vulgarity, I have never had any trouble here when I visited the elders after entering Beijing, this is the background!

The master looked carefully, put Xue Pan's homework aside, then frowned slightly, and said to Xue Pan:

"It's been a month or so and I've figured it out. You're not talented enough in chess, um, or it's flattering to be a stinky chess basket, but you haven't even figured out the most basic ones yet. I don't want to cultivate it too much. What a good player, but you still have to learn, even if it is difficult, at least you can understand this game, and you can tell who wins and who loses! Otherwise, won’t you be looked down upon when you go out in the future? And this Qin, you have no play, hey, you talk about you, singing songs, drinking orders, these are quite capable, why can't you do these things!"

Master is troubled!I have never foreseen such a thing, how simple this game is, isn't it just the word siege, this kid can actually trap himself to death, how did he play it.It's so speechless. As for playing the piano, it's no different from killing a chicken. If it gets out, it will ruin your reputation!

Xue Pan blushed when he heard this, couldn't help stretching out his fat white hand to look at it, and sighed in frustration, what could he say?Can you say that your fingers are not flexible?In fact, his abacus is still very good, but the strings, no matter how he plays, he feels that this thing cuts his hands and hurts badly.

He also wanted to add a layer of gentleness to himself, so he thought about it for a while, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration. He remembered that when he was in modern times, it was good to blow that willow leaf, should he? Think about it here?

"Master, why don't we change to another one. I think the hole flute is still very good. Look at me, I look like I have a lot of strength. I think blowing the flute is okay."

"What does this have to do with strength? The bull's head is wrong."

Hearing such a reason, the master raised his beard in anger, but his heart was moved at that time, too, seeing that this child is not ignorant of music theory, maybe his brain and hands can't keep up, or he has nothing to do with this piano Well, why not try it?Forget it, just try it, if it succeeds it is the best, if it fails it is just a waste of a month or two.

"Alright, tomorrow I'll bring you something for you to try. Then what about you playing chess? Pan'er! It's not the master forcing you. You must know that if you go out to make friends with those scholars in the future, you will always have to You can only get what you can afford! Playing chess is the most common thing among scholars, and even those poor scholars can learn a lot. Knowing this will allow you to make many friends and help you Meet more scholars."

The master is really a bit earnest. It is true that the cost of Go is very low. The humble scholars don’t use a chessboard. They can draw a vertical and horizontal grid by themselves and carve it with some wood. Therefore, it is very popular among scholars. Besides, didn’t you say that good chess players are usually wise men, so many people have researched in this area, if Xue Pan knows nothing, it would be ugly to go out and lose face.

Fortunately, Xue Pan has an alternative.

"Master, I have my favorite chess."

"Oh? Is there any chess you like? What kind of chess? Why don't I know there are other chess besides Go?"

what else!Chess, how simple, just a few rules, and each chess piece has a word, it is very happy to look at it, Xue Pan is very proud to take out the chess prepared by himself, explain the rules to the master, and then talk to the novice master A plate was placed.

"Well, why does this look like two armies against each other? Could it be a martial arts game? Son, do you want to join the army? This doesn't seem like something that scholars like!"

The master hates iron for being weak, this civil and military confrontation, if this is taken out, won't the scholars despise it?Why is this kid so heartless?But it's not good to hit him too much, and I can't say too much, but I sighed in my heart, this child is really hard to teach!

"Ah, master, why do you think so? How did I get on with a warrior? It's just a seemingly method, but it also makes sense. Look, it's the same as the book of war! It's so good, it also has a strategy! Isn't it the same reason as Go?"

Xue Pan had a ignorant look in his eyes. He didn't understand that Go and Xiangqi are both chess, so why is there a distinction between civil and martial arts, and why the master is so disappointed.

"Son, it's a prosperous age! In a prosperous age, culture must be valued over martial arts. Naturally, the things of warriors are less popular than those of literati. Forget it, I don't understand if I tell you, this chess is not bad. Forget it, for you, the master will try it too!"

The master is thinking, if this child is taken out, I am afraid that people will laugh at him. If it is him, it is not a problem. Anyway, he is a scholar and a scholar. If he said that he learned a new chess game from other places, Take it out to discuss with others, and then slowly promote it. It’s not bad. Anyway, the six arts of a gentleman, reading military books is not inappropriate. It is also feasible to say that this is a way to deduce military books. After a few years, everyone After accepting such a chess, it is not surprising that the child likes this chess, and he can also infer that he learned it from himself, which will not hinder his literary name.

Master thought so thoughtfully for Xue Pan!Of course, Xue Pan didn't quite understand at this time, but from the words of the master, he also knew that this chess might not necessarily be liked by the scholars. He felt a little depressed, and his face collapsed again. The child was hit, which would affect his studies in the future, so he hurriedly said:

"Fortunately, your kid still has some talent in learning painting. The layout is very interesting. If you learn it well, you can start from this aspect in the future and you can enter the circle of scholars smoothly. Your family is an imperial merchant, and there is always something wrong with the gentry. There are gains and losses, if not, how can you have such a learning environment? Look at those poor people, how difficult it is to study! It is difficult for you to turn over, but as long as you If you work hard, there is still hope."

The master gave a few words of comfort, then simply put aside other things, and began to point out Xue Pan's paintings. Although they were just simple paintings of flowers and the like, the master's mouth also gave countless knowledge.Xue Pan has always respected this master, not for other reasons, but this kind of knowledge is not something that ordinary people can have, the master is not very proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but it is very impressive to be able to hit the middle level in everything. It's easy, at least it's absolutely enough to give Xue Pan the basics.Coupled with the things that he told him about the Yamen, Xue Pan felt that if the master could be admitted to the Jinshi, maybe it would be enough to be a magistrate.I am really very lucky to have such a nearly all-round Mr.

The master and apprentice talked for a while, and Xue Pan's servant, Fushou, came to announce the meal at the door. Xue Pan looked at the sky, it was already a long time!Looking at Fushou, who had lost some of his slickness at the door, Xue Pan felt for the first time that time seemed to pass quickly!I am more than seven years old, and it has been two years since I arrived in this world!It seems that I have done a lot in the past two years, but it seems that I have done nothing!What will my future be like?I'm really worried!
