Chapter 10 The Tang Dynasty Teacher's Home Visit
"Dad, brother, this is a gentleman from Chang'an, Mr. Huang Yi and Huang." Liu Erzhao introduced.
"Sir, hurry, hurry, please sit in the house!" Liu Laoshi greeted him warmly. Although he was illiterate, he had a very blind admiration for these literati, especially the gentlemen in the private school, who were extremely respectful. Now that a gentleman came to his house, he was naturally extremely enthusiastic. Even his treasure cow was forgotten aside.
"Hello sir." Compared to Liu Laoshi, Liu Yi's performance was a little calm. He just nodded slightly at Huang Yi and greeted him softly without much reaction.
He looked at Liu Laoshi's face, smiling like a flower, and was puzzled. Is it necessary to be so attentive to behave like this?
Huang Yi stroked his beard that was not long before his jaw, looked up and down at the young man in front of him, and asked with a smile: "You are the Liu Yi who has two fists, two short and three long fingers?"
"It's my late-life. I think Mr. Huang is the one who is 'one-horned and pointed, and hexagonal in all directions'. I'm so reverent. Mr. Huang asked to sit in the house." Liu Yi spoke, but his eyes couldn't help but look at Liu Eryou beside him. How could the teacher know about helping him with homework? Isn't this a sucking type?
Now, the teacher has come to the door, but how should we deal with it?
"No, no, no," Huang Yi did not move his foot and waved his hand gently, "I have a few questions before entering the house. I want to ask you if I want to ask you, I wonder if it is convenient?"
"Here you come!" Liu Yiuan looked at Liu Eryi again and said respectfully: "Sir, please speak frankly, and you will definitely say everything."
"Have you ever attended a private school?"
Isn't it about asking about homework? Liu Yi looked at Huang Yi's still gentle face and said, "Never."
"Then can you read?"
"Know some."
At this time, Liu Laoshi interrupted, "You can't lie in front of the gentleman. You haven't been to a private school for a day, why do you have a literacy again?"
"Dad," Liu Yiu said to Lao Liu: "Private schools are not the only way to learn knowledge. Not studying in a private school does not mean that I cannot read. Just like you have never attended a private school or learned the academic arithmetic, where did you get your abacus technique?"
"This, this," Lao Liu couldn't speak. His abacus technique was taught by Lao Liu, and he had never entered a private school.
But who taught Liu Yi's word? No one seems to be able to read except Er Yi's family. But Er Yi has only been studying Er Yi for three years and has to attend classes every day. How can I have time to teach you again?
"Brother Liu, there are tens of millions of ways to learn, not just private school, so don't pursue it." Huang Yi advised Lao Liu, who was still waiting to talk again, and asked Liu Yi again: "Brother Liu, 't two fists, five fingers, two short three long' is indeed your hand? Isn't it written by others?"
What is this? Are we the kind of person who randomly copy other people's homework? Liu Yi was angry and couldn't help but gough Liu Ertiao again. If it weren't for this little brat, how could Liu Yi be so suspicious to Lao Huang?
Liu Ertiao was gouged three times and kept fighting in his heart. He didn't know where he got offended his elder brother. In his thoughts, a gentleman came to his house to see his elder brother, so he should be very happy.
"Mr. Huang, this second couplet is indeed what my elder brother is right. I was next to him when he came up with something last night." Liu Ertiao came forward to testify, saving Liu Yi's saliva a lot.
Huang Yi didn't know if he didn't believe it or something, shook his head and chuckled, and said, "Young is so amazed by Brother Liu's talent. Coincidentally, I still have a couplet here, which I got by chance three years ago. I have been suffering from the second stanza. I wonder if Brother Liu is interested in playing the previous couple?"
"Okay, okay, please send out the first couplet first, my elder brother will definitely be able to match the second couplet." Liu Ertiao agreed readily, which made Liu Yi gough him again.
He understood Huang Yi's words, but he had learned what happened three years ago and what kamikaze was like, and he was not used to test him.
If Liu Yi-Tiao can answer, it proves that he has real talent and knowledge. What Liu Er-Tiao said is not false. If he can't answer, it proves that he has plagiarism before, and that pair is plagiarizing others.
The name Wenzhe is not good.
"Sir, please leave the couplet. Regardless of whether you can match it or not, you are willing to try your best." Liu Yi said quietly.
"Okay! Young people are just energetic." Huang Yi laughed and said, "Brother Liu, listen well. My first couplet is: I will be happy whenever I hear good deeds."
"Uh?" Liu Yi looked at Huang Yi in surprise. How could he come up with such a simple first couplet? Could it be that he is really trying to control me?
Or is Huang Yi a fool himself?
"Mr. Huang, I already have the second couplet." Liu Yiu said calmly: "My second couplet is: I have to copy the strange book by myself. What does Mr. Huang think?"
"Every time I hear good deeds, I am happy first, and I will copy the strange books myself." Huang Yi sang the upper and lower couplets lightly and said with a smile: "It's wonderful, it's a perfect match, and the parallelism is neat. Brother Liu is indeed extraordinary."
"Sir, I'm over-reputable. It's just some strange writing skills." Liu Yi began to be modest. In his heart, he had already attributed Huang Yi to the ranks of idiots.
"Brother Liu is too humble. It's a pity that such talent as you are buried in the countryside. I wonder if you are willing to join me and learn how to govern the country and deal with things. I can guarantee you a good future."
Huang Yi was determined to accept disciples, but unfortunately, Liu Yi had no plans to go to school again.
Liu Yi said politely: "Mr. Xie is in love with you. You are determined to be in the countryside and have no desire to enter the temple. I am afraid that you will let down your good intentions."
"Uh?" This time it was Huang Yi's turn to be surprised. Obviously he did not expect that he would be rejected.
People in this era learned civil and military skills, sold to the imperial family, and became an official was the dream of every literati and warrior. Huang Yi couldn't understand how there was a monster like Liu Yi in this world. He couldn't guess whether this was Liu Yi's true intention.
"Brother, Mr. Huang rarely accepts disciples, this is a good opportunity." Liu Erzhao whispered, pulling Liu Yi's sleeve.
Liu Yibiao glanced at Liu Ertiao, pretending not to hear what he was saying, and smiled at Huang Yi, who had not figured it out, and said, "Huang Xian was rarely there to lie down. Even Wansheng happened to have something to ask about. A few days ago, Wansheng also got a couplet, but because of his shallow knowledge and narrow thinking, he couldn't think of a suitable couplet. I hope you can teach me."
"Oh?" Huang Yi showed a playful smile on his face. As soon as he finished the exam, he came back. He said, "Brother Liu, please speak."
