Extracurricular Teaching

"Liu Xiaohui, Liu Wenzhi, Sun Yue, Di Shijie, Di Renjie, Li Zhi, Li Mingda, Li Fuchen."

Early the morning of the second day of the apprenticeship exam, Liu Yiuan put the names of his seven apprentices and younger sisters in the front yard of Liu Mansion. Seeing that they were standing there in a proper manner, he nodded with satisfaction and said, "From today on, you will be my apprentices of Liu Yiu. I don't care what you were before or what power you have in the family. Here, in the eyes of my master, you are my disciples, and treat them equally, and no one will be more noble than anyone else. If you find that there are those who bully you by virtue of your power, you will be driven out of the wall, without any affection! Do you understand?"

"Affect the teachings of sir!" The little guys looked at each other and replied in unison.

"Well, it's very good," Liu Yi's face showed a smile, lowered his head and glanced at the eight well-behaved disciples in front of him, and said in a Susheng: "Of the eight of you, except for Liu Wenzhi, Sun Yue and Li Fuchen, the rest had been taught as a teacher before, and they should be very clear about some of the precepts under your teacher."

"Di Renjie!" After a moment of pause, Liu Yi turned his head to look at Di Renjie and said warmly: "You can tell me the story once, so that you three new classmates can have a rough understanding."

"Yes, sir!" In response, Di Renjie bent respectfully and bowed to Liu, then turned his head and shouted at the six other strange faces besides Di Shijie: "Mr. I once said, 'When you come to my school, you will not be too much courtesy. Just respecting teachers and respecting the Tao, and uniting classmates are enough!"

Respect teachers and unite classmates?

That's all? Except for the children who had listened to Liu Yi's studies, who had no unexpected reactions, Sun Yue, Liu Wenzhi, Li Fuchen and the others all opened their mouths in disbelief. Compared with the more than 20 precepts that the teacher had previously proposed by the teacher, the eight words "respecting teachers and respecting the way, uniting classmates" seem too simple and shabby.

"I think it's very simple, don't you?" Looking at the expressions on the faces of several apprentices, Liu Yi's face looked solemn and said in a heavy voice: "Don't think that it's easy to have fewer words. It's not just bragging about nonsense for the master. For the master, as long as you can completely achieve these eight words, you will be more than halfway through the master."

"Sister, is my brother-in-law confused?" In a wing room not far from where Li Liu's lecture was, Princess Huanzhu Yuyu hugged Zhang Chuchu's arm and asked in a quiet voice: "In the past, my brother-in-law said this when he was teaching us in the palace. Xiaoya never understood how the eight words "respect the teacher and unite with classmates" are really so important, and can it be half as capable as my brother-in-law?"

Although it was not the first time I heard my brother-in-law mention it, Yu Yu still found it incredible. In her eyes, her brother-in-law's ability is even more powerful than his father. If you follow her brother-in-law, even if you only get one point, she will feel very contented. Therefore, she was puzzled, "Respect your teachers and respect your ways, unite with your classmates." Is it really that powerful?

"Mengren? Haha, don't talk nonsense," Zhang Chuchu slapped the little girl's head lightly and said angrily: "Your brother-in-law always says one or one in front of his students, and he will never lie. You can't understand it now, because you are too young and have just started to read and read. There are some truths that you can't understand."

"Is that true?" Xiaoya bit her index finger with a confused look on her face. After listening to her sister's explanation, she said unwillingly: "No wonder my father and mother would agree to Zhinu's younger brother and Weizi's younger sister to come out to study alone. Sister Yuzhang said that it was like Zhinu's older princess, but they had always received enlightenment and teachings in the palace."

"It's all because Xiao Ya is too stupid. She still doesn't recognize a few big words. She didn't understand the arithmetic method she taught before," the little girl said in a slight annoyance: "Otherwise, Xiao Ya can also take the exam. As my brother-in-law practices skills, she won't be able to look at them from afar like now."

"Haha, you girl," Zhang Chuchu raised her hand and pointed the tip of the little girl's nose with a funny look, and said in a warm voice: "You are not an outsider, so there is no need to take the exam like them. If you really want to practice with your brother-in-law, how about plead with you?"

"Really?!" Xiao Ya's eyes lit up suddenly, but then she lowered her head with a dark face and said in a low voice: "But Xiao Ya still has to learn basic etiquette in the palace. Even if she wants to learn, she has no time to leave the palace at any time like Zhinu and the others. Moreover, her mother had arranged an enlightenment teacher for Xiao Ya before today, so she would not agree to Xiao Ya's exit from the palace. Even if she was able to leave the palace today, it was Xiao Ya who begged in front of her father for a long time before she nodded in agreement."

After all, he is over ten years old and is no longer a child. He has always lived outside the palace and is quite unfamiliar with the etiquette in the palace. He is very rude and a little vulgar in his behavior. Especially on the dining table, he is always like a hungry tiger rushing to eat, without any of the so-called reserve that his daughter should have, and he also talks, walks, receives people, and treats things, etc., which are not very satisfactory.

As a princess of the Tang Dynasty, it also represents the face and honor of the entire royal family in some ways. For example, Xiao Ya's current performance, not to mention Empress Changsun, even Li Shimin, the wise king, would not be able to let her be so willing, regardless of the basic etiquette and many precautions that she should learn as a public official.

"As soon as you enter the palace gate, as deep as the sea, as a princess, while enjoying a lot of luxury, she had to give up other things," she raised her hand and patted Xiaoya's little head. Zhang Chuchu said in a low voice: "This is also the reason why my sister was not willing to let you enter the palace at the beginning."

"Sister, don't say that," Xiaoya hugged Sister Chuchu's arm, and forced a smile sensiblely and said softly: "Compared to Xiaoya's begging on the street before, she can't fill her stomach. In winter, there are even possible days when she was frozen to death on the street. Xiaoya is now very content."

"And Xiao Ya knows that the reason why the father and mother did this is for Xiao Ya's good. Xiao Ya doesn't blame them, nor does she feel hard. Sister doesn't have to worry about Xiao Ya." After saying that, Xiao Ya calmed down and looked at Liu Yian and the others with an excited look: "Sister, look, brother-in-law and the others have gone out, and there are Zhinu and his younger brothers, why don't they have to study their studies at home today?"

"Oh, they," following the little girl's finger, Zhang Chuchu's eyes also moved to the place where Liu Yi and the others left, then nodded gently and said, "Today is the first day of your brother-in-law teaching them. We must be familiar with each other and check their respective personalities and expertise. In order to determine the direction and focus of their courses to teach them in the future, and teach them according to their aptitude, so your brother-in-law chose to teach extracurricularly."

"Extracurricular teaching? Read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles?" It's so strange and novel. The little girl stared blankly at Liu Yi and the others leaving the courtyard gate. She didn't come back to her senses for a long time. She thought to herself, why did the gentlemen who taught her courses never teach her this "extracurricular teaching"?

"Young Master, look, Chang'an City is ahead. According to our current itinerary, we will probably be able to eat hot food and drinks in Chang'an City before noon!" On the north and south official roads north and south of Chang'an City, a driver-driven car-style smiled loudly reported to the young master in the carriage. After more than a month of journey, they finally got home today.

"Oh? Is that right?" Gongsun Helan raised his hand and opened the curtains, poked his head out of the car window. Seeing Chang'an City looming in the distance, he drove happily and said to the stele in front of him, "Then you should hurry up, the boy Chongzhou's injuries have been healed. There is no need to drive slowly like before, speed up this young master. If you can arrive at Chang'an City before noon, I will invite you to drink!"

"Okay! Master, please look at it. Your wine is small, but I can eat it!" The handlebars responded, and then a whip sounded, and the carriage ran forward quickly. There were bursts of smoke and dust behind the carriage.

"Are you finally here?" Holding your arms, Liu Chongzhou slowly sat up from the soft couch in the carriage, looking at the grass and trees that were quickly retreating back outside the car window with some excitement. He was so excited that he couldn't say a word. He left his hometown for half a year, and had a life of death. Unexpectedly, Liu Chongzhou came back alive!

Thinking of his parents who had been worrying about his return to reunion at home, the sufferings he had suffered along the way, and the efforts and expenses his boss had made to save him, Liu Chongzhou choked up in a rare moment.

"Okay, okay, okay, a big man squeezes out why he is peeing, it's just annoying to me." When I sat back in the car, I saw that Liu Chongzhou was wiping tears there. Gongsun Helan, who usually doesn't see men crying the most, was furious at that time and burst into a swear word. If I hadn't seen Liu Chongzhou's unyielding side before, I knew that this kid was not really cowardly, I would have kicked the person down long ago.

"Uh?" Seeing that he had lost his composure, Liu Chongzhou hurriedly wiped away the tears on his face, and bowed to Gongsun Helan with embarrassment, saying, "I couldn't help it for a while, so I laughed at Young Master Gongsun."

"The first time I left home?" Seeing that Liu Chongzhou nodded, Gongsun Helan also nodded lightly, raised her hand and patted Liu Chongzhou on the shoulder, and rarely said anything more ugly.
