The ancient life of a master craftsman

"Then why didn't brother Li believe it yesterday?" Yunli didn't understand. Since no one dared to impersonate, why did brother Li ask Mr. Liu to find a way to prove himself?

"Although it is true to say so, there is no big mistake in being careful. Some things still need to be verified before you can believe it. Our spinning machine is too expensive, so we have to be careful." Li Enbai did not explain the details, Instead, teach Yunli to be more cautious.

"That's right, there's nothing wrong with being careful." Yunli heard it, and he must be more cautious in doing things in the future.

"Well, let's have some snacks. The Liu Manor's snacks should be delicious. Eat some to fill your stomach first. We may have to stay longer." Li Enbai poured him some tea, "Eat."

Yunli picked up the snack, put it into her mouth with one hand, and took it with the other. She gnawed on the snack slowly, looking around in Liu Mingxi's study room. This study room looked really bright, and there were so many books.

Li Enbai watched him eat the snack slowly, but his cheeks were swollen, and he quickly fed him a sip of water, which made Yunli smile, and spontaneously became Yunli's exclusive water feeding machine.

Yunli felt a little embarrassed at first, but the dim sum was so delicious that the sugar he used seemed to be honey instead of ordinary sugar. The act of feeding two sips of water.

But Yunli still knows the etiquette, she didn't eat all the dim sum just because it was delicious, but stopped after tasting a piece or two of each.

They communicated with each other here, and Liu Mingxi also told his uncle the ins and outs. From his description, the spinning machine seemed to be conjured by a fairy, and he said that a machine can do it. Now a hundred times that is an exaggeration.

This was Liu Chuncheng's first reaction when he heard his nephew's words, but then he thought about it, his nephew has been smart and sensible since he was a child, and he has helped his brother manage the property since he was 15 years old. It is not a child who can be easily deceived if he has made any mistakes, maybe it is true.

Thinking of this, Liu Chuncheng was quite interested in Li Enbai and the 'Keep a Hundred Times' in his hands. He saw his nephew looked anxious, thinking that it would be okay to meet someone, "Go, call someone over, I will Eye-opening too."

Liu Mingxi got up immediately, "Thank you, uncle, I'll call someone over, after you have seen the spinning machine, you will know that what I said is true."

"Go, I'll wait here." Liu Chuncheng was lying on the rocking chair, next to a black-faced boy fanning him, he was reading a book loosely.

Li Enbai and Yunli followed Liu Mingxi after walking a long way in Liu's mansion before arriving at Liu Chuncheng's courtyard. Liu Chuncheng stood up from the rocking chair when he saw them coming, and looked at the three of them. He had already heard from his eldest nephew that this person brought his fiancé with him, but it was still a bit of a novelty seeing him, so he took a look at Yunli, then looked at Li Enbai, "Come with me."

Liu Mingxi stayed with Yunli, Li Enbai put down the pannier and only took the box of the spinning machine, "Lizi, help me watch the pannier for a while."

"Understood." Yunli was a little nervous, especially when there were two unfamiliar men beside him, but he knew that it was up to the master Juren whether or not Brother Li could take the examination for scholar, so he resisted his fear and stood beside the basket.

Liu Mingxi originally wanted to chat with him so that he would not feel bored. Seeing his nervous expression, he would become alert whenever he moved, and he was a little puzzled. Doesn't he have a scary face?

No matter what, when he realized that Yunli repulsed him very much, Liu Mingxi silently took a step back to let him be more at ease, "Brother Yun, sit down and rest for a while, brother Linfeng and my uncle have to chat for a while. "

Yunli's eyes kept moving between Liu Mingxi and the black-faced boy, as long as one of them moved, he would shrink back, and it took a while to relax, "Thank you."

The black-faced boy moved a stool not far behind Yunli, a step away from him, so that he would not be nervous because of his actions.

Yunli thanked her again, and sat down with the basket on her back, her legs close together, her hands on her knees, and the basket at her feet, she was even more obedient than the students who listened to the teacher's lectures in the school.

In fact, Li Enbai was not too worried about Yunli being outside, but whether he would be able to successfully participate in the imperial examination was a matter of today's conversation, and there would be no danger in Liu's mansion, so he asked Yunli to wait outside.

"Li Linfeng?" Liu Chuncheng's face was very pale, exactly the same as Brother Xue's unhealthy paleness. It can be seen that his poor health is not fake, but his eyes are very powerful and will not be lost because of his sickness. His expression, coupled with his unrestrained but breezy movements, does give him the feeling of a fairy descending from the mortal world.

"It's a student." Li Enbai took his look into his eyes, knowing that this Liu Juren might regard him as a liar.

Sure enough, Liu Chuncheng took his seat gracefully, and the first thing he said after Li Enbai was also seated was, "I heard that you have a machine that can hold hundreds of people spinning by hand, is it true or not?"

Li Enbai opened the box and took out the model of the spinning machine, "You can tell if it's true or not by trying it."

He dug out several small spools of roving from the bottom of the box, and handed one of them to Liu Chuncheng, "This is the roving that the students bought from the market, and part of it was used up for the demonstration before, so here are the rest, you So I thought about enlarging it ten times according to this size, which is the real size of the spinning machine. Because it is inconvenient to move, the students made a model for demonstration.”

While talking, he installed the roving, and Liu Chuncheng also checked the roving, and it was indeed an ordinary roving. Li Enbai watched his eyes move over, and gently pushed the hand wheel with his fingers, and the spinning machine started to run, making a slight swish. Swish.

Liu Chuncheng originally thought that Li Enbai was either a liar or a big talk about the effect of the spinning machine, but when he saw this small spinning machine model in operation, he was surprised when he imagined it would be enlarged ten times as he said. But there really is such a magical weapon!

"What you said is that the real spinning machine is magnified ten times, but is it true?" Liu Chuncheng held the spun yarn in his hand and felt it, and asked casually.

"The student lives in Huaimu Village, you can go there to check the authenticity at any time." Li Enbai still had the appearance that real gold is not afraid of fire, so I am too lazy to talk nonsense.

But it was this swearing look, and the fact that he did not fake the model just now, that convinced Liu Chuncheng. Holding back the agitation in his heart, he took a deep breath, "So, prepare the tea, and if I I'll go if I'm free."

"I heard that you plan to take the child's examination next year?" Liu Chuncheng took a sip of tea and changed the subject, "If you don't mind, I will test you, how about it?"

"It's an honor to be in the wind, sir." Li Enbai understood that the spinning machine was settled, and it depended on whether his knowledge could be recognized by Liu Chuncheng.

"Anyone can ask the son of the house"

"Which is more important, etiquette or food?" " Said: "The etiquette is heavy. "" Li Enbai continued easily, and recited this "Mencius. Gaozi Zhangju" fluently.

Liu Chunshan heard that he recited it fluently, and changed a few chapters and paragraphs. Every time he started, Li Enbai could recite it fluently, so he changed the way of examination, "The way of great learning lies in Mingde, in being close to the people, and in ending in perfection. Righteousness. What’s the explanation?”

This is the test of comprehension, this Li Enbai is not afraid, this kind of test method will not trouble him, after all, he is studying the questions even in his sleep, and he can easily say one, two, three, four, five points, with reasons and evidence, and explain objectively Plus subjective understanding, perfect.

In this way, Liu Chuncheng's eyes became a little warmer. This kid has a high talent for reading, so he developed a little love for talent. After hearing his strategies, he wanted to accept this disciple even more.

"Governing the country, people's livelihood is the most important thing. What is people's livelihood? That is, people's lives, such as clothing, food, housing, transportation..." Li Enbai came here with eloquence, and a policy theory was blurted out without thinking.

Even Liu Chuncheng did not dare to be so arrogant, but how did he know that this is one of the skills that Huaguo students in the 21st century, especially students in the college entrance examination, must highlight, that is, to reserve enough materials for composition, and one composition must be completed within an hour Write it out, compared with the time given here for one day, the one-hour composition must have its fixed routine.

The most obvious is the three-paragraph style, and when Li Enbai was reviewing, with the help of the system, he also lit up the skills of storing materials to piece together the composition just like the college entrance examination students.

So Liu Chuncheng thought that this kid was a genius at first, but after listening to it slowly, he felt that this kid was too superficial and still had a lot to learn, but he was still a good seed.

In the past few years, because of his illness, he has not seen outsiders for a long time. He claimed that he has taken in a few disciples. In fact, they are nephews at home. Knowing that he is not in good health, he rarely bothers him. Now he suddenly met a good seedling. This is the idea of ​​being a teacher. It kept coming to my mind.

But accepting apprentices is not something that can be reckless, he still needs to think again, "According to this level, there is no big problem in passing the childbirth examination."

Li Enbai waited quietly for the second half of his words, without any joy on his face, which made Liu Chuncheng more satisfied with him, he didn't like appearances, he wasn't complacent, he had already done a good job at his age.

"But if you want to be a scholar, you still need to work hard." Liu Chuncheng stood up and searched for a while from the bookshelf beside him. "Here, take it back and read it. If there is anything you don't understand, come and ask me every five days." Liu Chuncheng handed a book with rough edges to Li Enbai.

Li Enbai took it solemnly, and put the book away very carefully, "Thank you sir."

Liu Chuncheng saw his behavior of cherishing books, and looked at Li Enbai with more kind eyes, "Well, you must be determined to learn, and don't delay your talent."

"Student remember, sir." Li Enbai also stood up, with a very respectful posture.
