Chapter Thirty-One: Second Son Entrance Hall

The old man entered his room, Dongmei stood quietly behind the old man. The old man turned around and said, "Thank you, go down."

"The Grand Duke ordered that the servants would take care of the husband's daily life."

"I don't need it for the time being, please step back and get busy."

"Okay, I'll leave," Dongmei left the old man's room after saluting. The old man slowly walked to the bed and placed the package on the bed. The room was arranged very reasonably. There were two rooms, inside the bedroom, and on the side of the bedroom was a huge bed. There was a round table and two chairs near the door next to the bed. The round table and two chairs were made of mahogany, and the other room was his study. Slowly walked into his study, and right in front of the door was a desk. There was a chair behind the desk, and there was a famous landscape painting on the wall. The landscape paintings of the landscape paintings of celebrities were hung on the wall.

There is a couplet on both sides, the first couplet is "Including distant mountains and swallowing the Yangtze River, and the peaks and valleys in the southwest are particularly beautiful", and the second couplet is "Sending the sunset, welcoming the sun, and when the grass and trees cross the sky at the turn of spring and summer." There is also a row of bookshelf next to it, and the bookshelf is filled with ancient books, among which is a "Less-Secret Notes" by Ji Yun, a Grand Secretary of the previous dynasty, welcomed his eyes. When he walked to the bookshelf, he took off the book. It was indeed the handwriting of Ji Yun, a Grand Secretary of the previous dynasty, and it was the original work. Because he had seen Ji Yun write and post by himself, he confirmed it, and then sat in front of the desk and watched the book carefully.

Guozhi and Guoan sat on the lawn, and the servants and maids stood behind him. Guoan looked at his younger brother and said, "Brother, we will enter the same school to study together in the future. You should not be as playful as before. Study hard and become a talented person in the future."

"Brother, I don't want to read any books. I want to learn martial arts, so that everyone respects me, is afraid of me, and is a chivalrous and righteous person. Brother, you are a very gentle person. The school is suitable for you. Take the imperial examination and become a high-ranking official," and then called the servant to send a stick. Guozhi stood up after taking the stick and walked forward. The stick swept across the big tree. Finally, the stick broke into two pieces, but the big tree was intact. Then Guozhi turned around and said, "Brother, I must become a martial arts master in the future and will not allow anyone to bully you."

"Brother, you just need to have this kind of heart. Class will be coming tomorrow. I'm going to go back to read a book," after saying that, Guoan stood up and bowed and turned around and left. Hearing this sentence by Guoan, he didn't seem to trust his younger brother who was inspiring to become a martial arts master. Guozhi looked at Guoan's departure back and knew what was hidden in his brother's heart, but he couldn't guess it. He turned around and faced the big tree, clenched his fists tightly.

A burst of air spread to the big tree. He punched the tree several times in a row as if he wanted to knock it down, but after he stopped, he felt a little pain in his hand, and the back of his hand was scratched. The maid under the subordinate was frightened when she saw this and stepped forward a few steps forward and said, "Young Master, what's wrong with you?" He held up his delicate little hand, and was afraid that the lady would scold him. He didn't know what to do, so he could only bandage it simply.

Guozhi was still standing and said with confidence: "I will definitely become a martial arts master."

"Well, the little master will do it. We all believe in you." The servants' words had a perfunctory smell, which used to comfort his young heart.

Guoan entered Wang Yao's room alone, but he looked a little depressed. He then entered his mother Wang Yao's room and asked her, "Mother, the child has returned to the study."

"An'er, don't lock yourself in the study all day long. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest, come in and sit next to my slave."

"Yes, mother," Guoan walked slowly forward and sat next to his mother Wang Yao, with his head hanging down, as if the entry into the school this time would attract the attention of the grandfather. The mother next to him looked at Guoan for a long time and said, "Guoan, raise your head."

Guoan then raised his head and his eyes kept spinning. Wang Yao said seriously: "An'er, look into my eyes. Do you know that you entered the He family school because they love you? No, you are his grandsons as well as Guozhi, but he loves only Guozhi. You are just a companion to Guozhi. Do you understand? You only look down on you like this. If you want them to recognize that you have status in the He family, you can only fight for it. The status is fought for by yourself. Do you know? You are so decadent that no one will sympathize with you, and you have pity for you."

"The child has written down the words of the mother. The child should study hard and achieve something like a father. Mother, if it's okay, the child will enter the study."

"Okay, go," Guoan got up and bowed and left, entering the study.

The next day, Guoan and Guozhi brothers entered the school. The gentleman bowed to the portrait of Confucius, then turned to face Guoan. Guozhi said: "You will learn etiquette and cultural knowledge from this Xingxia Academy today. Come and worship the Master."

Guoan and Guozhi looked at the portrait of Confucius, bowed their hands before bowing, and then turned around to bow to the teacher and said, "Sir." The old man sat down after returning the gift and said, "You all sit down," Guoan and Guozhi sat down, then the old man looked at the big words beside him and said, "Heaven, earth, king, relative, teacher, first of all, as a gentleman, you must stand firm in the sky, be loyal to the king, be friendly to relatives and friends, and be filial to teachers and elders. This is the foundation of human beings. Knowing advance and retreat, being loyal to others and not cheating, and then learning literature. So we come to learn etiquette today, read the "Book of Rites" first, and then explain it."

On each of their tables was the book "Book of Rites". They picked up the book and started reading. The old man looked at them reading catchy, sitting under the portrait of Confucius, stroking his beard with one hand, and a smile appeared on his face. After a long time, Guozhi supported his little head with one hand, his eyelids began to fight, and then he lay on the desk table and began to fall asleep. At some point, the gentleman stood beside Guozhi and knocked on one side of the desk table with the other hand. Guozhi then opened his sleepy eyes and looked at the gentleman standing next to him.

"Kuji, stand up," Mr. put his hands behind him. Kuji stood up and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with one hand.

"You can recite the "Book of Rites. Quyi Chapter"."

Guozhi took his own head with one hand, and it seemed that his thoughts were useless in studying. The gentleman stood aside and walked up and said, "If the son doesn't learn, the teacher is lazy," and then said, "Guo'an."

Guoan stood up and said, "Sir."

"You will recite the "Book of Rites. Kingly Systems"."

"The king's command of the title is the title of the king, the princes, the princes, the princes, the princes..., the princes, the princes, the princes..., the princes, the princes, the ministers, the princes..., the princes, the princes...," Guoan felt a little embarrassed when he was in the back, as if he was stuck for a while, and stood there in a daze.

The gentleman continued: "The doctor, the sergeant, the sergeant, the sergeant, the sergeant, and all the five ranks."

Guoan then said unjustly: "The doctor, the sergeant, the sergeant, the sergeant, the fifth rank of the emperor, the emperor...... the emperor......," It seems that Guoan cannot recite it either.

"The emperor's field is a thousand miles away, the Duke and Duke are a hundred miles away, the Bo is seventy miles away, and the Zi is fifty miles away, and the Zi cannot be fifty miles away, which is not in line with the Emperor. It is attached to the princes and is called vassals. The third Duke and the Emperor's field is regarded as Duke and Duke, the Emperor's ministers regard Bo, the Emperor's official regards Zi men, and the Emperor's no scholars regard vassals." Then the gentleman sighed: "It is not appropriate for the son to learn, and the young do not learn, what is the old?"

The gentleman stood in front of Guoan, holding the ruler in one hand and said sternly: "Stretch out your hand." Guoan could only stretch out one hand, turn his head to the side, close his eyes, and hit the ruler in his hand on his palm. Guozhi stood aside and watched his brother get into the palm of his hand, his mouth was cracked and gritted his teeth. At this time, Guozhi said dissatisfied: "Why did sir hit my brother? It's unfair."

The gentleman said: "Because Guoan is very concerned about reading books and cannot recite what I ask for, he will be punished."

"It's the disciple's fault of Guozhi. My brother is very serious about reading. Please punish me."

"Where are you wrong?"

"When sleeping in class, it means disrespect to the teacher. Mr., I have a question to ask the teacher."

The gentleman looked at Guozhi and then smiled on his face. He walked slowly up and sat down, saying, "If you have any questions, just ask."

"Sir, can Xiwen be chivalrous and righteous? Can he save the people from the fire and fire?"

"National governance, national security, you sit down," the gentleman at this time might be thinking that Guozhi is a kind and righteous child, who dares to admit his mistakes and dares to take responsibility. If he is trained, and his talent is talented, he will become a talent in the future. So the gentleman kept a smile on his face and faced the rule of the country very kindly, saying: "In his later years, the Master read the Zhouyi, wrote the Spring and Autumn Period, and taught the world to understand the truth, know the rise and fall, and spread benevolence and righteousness. Benevolent people love others, you will be officials and govern the world in the future, love the people of the world, and resolve the people of the people, which is more broad than your chivalrous and righteousness. Do you understand the rule of the country?"

"I understand, but I know that my disciple is wrong. I accept the punishment and should copy the "Book of Rites, Quyi Chapter" ten times."

"Well, Guozhi has grown up and become sensible, and sir is very pleased."

However, Guoan was stunned for a long time, and then studied hard, but did not know the essence. The gentleman looked at Guoan and shook his head, holding up the book on the desk to enjoy it.

Guozhi sat alone in front of the window and copied the Book of Rites. He exposed his two small heads on the high wall and shouted, "Guozhi, Guozhi," Guozhi still buried his head and copied without responding. Maybe he was too obsessed with his mind and didn't care much about what was next to him. Then he threw a stone and hit his little head. Guozhi said, "Oh" and said, "Who is hitting me? Who is hitting me?"

"The rule of the country, the rule of the country, is us."

Then Guozhi looked over the high wall and laughed and said, "It's Mantou and Gouwa," he excitedly climbed out of the window and climbed up the high wall and said, "Mantou, Gouwa, how did you come in?"

"Don't worry about how we came in. We have our own skills," the three children laughed a few times after saying that, and Gouwa said, "Guozhi, we go out to play, it's so good to play outside."

"What's there to be fun outside?"

"There are so many fun things in Chengdu. Do you want to go?"

Guozhi was silent for a long time and said in depression: "I can't go out with you. Sir is punishing me to copy books."

"I'll be back in a while, it won't stop you from copying books."

"Okay, I'll be back in a while," Guozhi pondered for a long time again, and then said with certainty. (To be continued)
