Chapter 34 Teaching
"Wu Ye, it's getting dark! I should go back, otherwise Zhongli will be nagging in my ears for a long time, saying that girls should be reserved and so on, hehe, I don't care. But I don't blame Zhongli. , Zhongli and grandpa are old friends, sometimes I feel like he treats me like a father."
"I understand, I'll take you back."
Wu Ye stopped writing, stood up and looked out the window, only to see the sunset.
"No, you can continue writing with peace of mind, but..."
Hu Tao walked up to Wu Ye, stood up gently on her tiptoes, and looked into Wu Ye's eyes with tears in her eyes.
"Wooden ah."
Wu Ye understood and kissed Hu Tao gently, and Hu Tao left with satisfaction.
......
"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"
Just after dinner, Wu Yong, who was sitting on a chair by the fountain in the yard to cool off, heard someone knocking on the door.
Wu Yong walked over and opened the door, and found a dusty young man waiting outside the door. He was covered in dirt and had a faint smell of sea. It was Li Zida.
"Hello, grandpa! Does your husband live here?"
Li Zida saw clearly that the person coming was an old man. He bent down and asked with a smile on his face.
"Sir? Are you looking for my grandson, Xiaoye?"
"Um, grandpa, I'm sorry, I didn't ask clearly during the day. I don't know what the husband's name is. He told me to just come to Taohua Lane to find him. When I came there, I found a house, so... ..”
"Oh, it's okay. The person you are looking for is Xiao Ye. He is busy in the room. I'll call him out for you."
"No, no, no," Li Zida stopped Wu Yong and said hurriedly, "Grandpa, no need, I'll just wait for him at the door of his room."
"Well, okay, you come in with me."
Wu Yong was a little confused, but he still chose to bring Li Zida in. From his clothes, he could tell that he was a dock worker who had just finished his work. A young worker called Xiao Ye sir?
Wu Yong walked in, and the footsteps behind him became weaker and weaker. He turned around and found that Li Zida stopped after taking a few steps. Wu Yong asked in confusion:
"Young man, what's wrong with you?"
"I...I just realized that I was a little dirty. I was worried about missing the appointment, so I rushed over from the dock before I could clean myself. Grandpa, why don't you tell your husband and I'll come back tomorrow? Today Never mind......"
Li Zida scratched his head and explained, and then planned to leave.
"Plum! Wait a minute."
Hearing noises outside the window, Wu Ye stopped writing, opened the door and walked out. When he happened to see this scene, he called out to Li Zida.
"Sir?! You are indeed here! But I am quite dirty and the smell of sweat is very strong..."
"Well, it doesn't matter, come in and hurry up."
"Ok."
......
"Sir, why did you put the ancient books I gave you at the foot of the table? Then what did you use to teach me to learn calligraphy?"
As soon as Li Zida entered the door, he saw the ancient books he had given to Wu Ye during the day under the desk, and asked distressedly.
"Haha, it's okay. You don't need to pick it up. My desk happens to be a little crooked. It's just right to use it as a cushion. Besides, I have better articles for you to study. Sit down and take a good look. There are words you can't read. Or just ask me if you don’t understand.”
Wu Ye smiled gently, dissuaded Li Zida from his actions, then took out a piece of paper from the desk and handed it to him.
Li Zida took it with both hands, then sat next to Wu Ye and looked at the words on the paper.
"Encouragement to learning? Sir, did you write this? Did you write it all in regular script?"
"Hmm? What's the matter? Isn't this closer to our daily lives? The characters we usually read are in italics."
"Well... This is really convenient, and I can understand part of the content at once."
Li Zi praised greatly, but with a worried look on his face, he still chose to speak out.
"Mainly, I'm worried about you, sir..."
"worry about what?"
Wu Ye lowered his head and continued writing on the new paper and asked casually.
"I'm worried that your husband will be said to be an outlier! After all, the articles that have been circulated around the world are in ancient Chinese and are unified by leading figures in the literary world. I'm worried that what you write may be opposed by some old scholars."
"Hahaha, they are a bunch of sticklers. They are just worried that someone who comes after them will easily take away their position, so they come up with these fancy things. It doesn't matter."
Wu Ye was confident and smiled lightly.
"Besides, I am someone's wallet. If something happens, he will help me."
"Wallet?! Will wallet help people?"
"Okay, Li Zi, no need to say anything else. Just take a good look. Half an hour passed quickly."
Wu Ye reminded Li Zidao, and Li Zida nodded, held the manuscript and began to read it carefully.
"Sir, what is this? Is it the author of this article?"
Li Zi pointed at a certain word and asked, Wu Ye followed his fingertips and said:
"Xunzi, a scholar during the Warring States Period."
"Did Liyue have this dynasty during the Warring States Period?"
"Just think I made it up and you just read it."
......
"What does 'already' mean?"
"It means stop."
"Sir, how do you pronounce this word?"
"Read it."
"Sir, what is the pronunciation and meaning of this word?"
"Although it is exposed, it means even if it is dried in the sun."
"Sir, does 'erudite' mean knowledgeable?"
"Here it means learning broadly."
"gentlemen......"
......
"Okay, we're ready in half an hour. Li Zi, let me ask you, what did you learn from this "Encouragement to Study"?"
Wu Ye stopped writing, rubbed his sore wrist, looked at Li Zida and asked.
"Um, sir, I, I..."
Li Zi had a troubled expression on his face, scratched his head and hesitated.
"It doesn't matter. If you don't say it well, I won't blame you. Just say it."
"Well, I learned from this that learning can't stop...well, to learn this, you have to...study seriously! Well, knowledge, knowledge must be continuously acquired. This... This learning requires...yes! Learning requires perseverance."
When Li Zida said this, he first glanced at the manuscript and said the first sentence. Then Wu Ye put the manuscript away. He looked down at his feet and thought hard about the second sentence, and then looked left and right. , when he suddenly thought of the key point, he patted his thigh and spoke the third sentence confidently.
After Li Zida finished speaking, he looked at Wu Ye nervously. Wu Ye pondered for a while, then rubbed his temples with his hands and said:
"Well, that's right. This is the general meaning of the article "Encouraging Learning". It seems that you still have some understanding. So, you go back tonight and take this article back, copy it yourself, and then recite it. Come tomorrow Bring me the paper manuscript when you come, and recite this article to me by the way."
"what?!"
