Arriving outside the village chief's house, Zhao Fei knocked on the door outside the village chief's house with anxiety.
"Village Chief, are you at home?" Zhao Fei asked softly. Because he was very nervous, his voice was trembling.
"Come in, the door is open." I heard a sentence coming from inside the house. The voice was not loud and seemed a little old, but it felt very upright and penetrating.
With the permission of the village chief, Zhao Fei opened the door and walked in.
I saw the village chief kneeling alone in front of the long table, holding a book in his hand. It wasn't until he saw Zhao Fei walking in that the village chief put down the book. He stared at Zhao Fei with a smile on his face. And Zhao Fei
Fei stood upright, with his arms folded and stretched forward, his right hand slightly bent, his left hand attached to it, his arms moved from his forehead to his chest, and at the same time he bowed his upper body at 45 degrees and made a clasping hand. Then he stood aside
Not moving anymore.
"I don't know if my clasping hands are up to standard or not. I've always acted like this on TV. If there are any discrepancies, I hope the village chief won't take offense." Zhao Fei muttered in his heart.
Seeing Zhao Fei's clasped hands, the village chief was surprised and had a little doubt, but he quickly recovered and said to Zhao Feng with a smile: "Here you are, then sit down."
"How can there be a place for me to sit when the elder is here?" Zhao Fei explained respectfully.
When the village chief heard what Zhao Fei said, he nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Sit down when I tell you to. Why be so polite." After saying this, the village chief pointed to the empty seat next to him.
"Then...that's good. I'd rather be respectful than obey." Zhao Fei had no choice but to obey the village chief's words, walked to the village chief and knelt down and sat down. After sitting down, he straightened his back and looked a little heroic. Although he tried his best
Keep yourself calm, but the hands clenched into fists betrayed him deeply.
Seeing Zhao Fei's look, the village chief smiled incredulously, and then asked calmly: "Why are you so nervous? I just asked Zhao Feng to ask you to come over and chat about some family matters. There is no need to be so solemn. And what about that just now?
Who taught you these moves? No one in the village has ever done this move, so how did you do it?"
After hearing this, Zhao Fei couldn't help being stunned, and his mind went blank. "I wanted to pretend to be a good student, but why did I forget about it? I just wanted to show off, but I forgot the place. I made a mistake." Zhao Fei said.
I couldn't help but regret it secretly in my heart.
"This... this is just... the student wants to show respect to the village chief." Zhao Fei hesitated.
Seeing Zhao Fei's embarrassed expression, the village chief smiled and said nothing. He just kept staring at him. The stare made Zhao Fei feel scared.
Seeing the village chief staring at him with a smile, Zhao Fei became even more anxious. Sweat slowly began to drip from his forehead. "This... what should I do? How can I continue to edit it?"
The village chief smiled and said nothing, while Zhao Fei was too nervous to speak. Time passed by like this, and suddenly the village chief spoke.
"Haha, since you don't want to say it, I won't ask. Otherwise, you will blame my old man for being nosy." The village chief laughed at himself.
Hearing the words of the village chief, Zhao Fei felt like he was being pardoned and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve. Then he said carefully: "How dare! How dare!" He took a deep breath and thought to himself, "I will do it again in the future.
You have to be careful. Otherwise, you never know when this will happen again and it will be over."
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." The village chief waved his hand, put away the smile on his face, and then said seriously: "Now you have to answer my words seriously."
Seeing the change in the village chief, Zhao Fei also became serious. He took a few deep breaths and got rid of some of the nervousness and timidity in his heart. He replied very formally: "Village Chief, please don't worry, I will be very serious."
's answer."
"Well, very good. I heard from Xiaofeng, do you plan to study?" the village chief asked, stroking his beard gently. A pair of cloudy eyes also showed a glimmer of light.
"Yes, village chief, I plan to study. So I ask you, village chief, to teach me." Zhao Fei nodded and replied humbly.
Seeing Zhao Fei's attitude, the village chief couldn't help but nodded. He still asked seriously: "Then why do you plan to study? You know that for a farmer, studying is of no use."
After hearing the village chief's words, Zhao Fei lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said: "Village Chief, although I am just a farmer now, my physique is not suitable for being a farmer. And I have to support myself.
, I will definitely leave Zhaojiacun in the future. The outside world is so vast, how can we live without a skill at hand."
After listening to Zhao Fei's words, the village chief nodded, "Well, that makes sense." Then someone asked and asked again: "Aren't you learning martial arts from Zhao Feng, are you going to give up like this?"
"This is the village chief. I only want to keep fit by following Brother Feng. I know my body, and it is not suitable for learning martial arts. But if you don't have a good physique, how can you succeed. So I plan to follow Brother Feng again.
School," Zhao Fei replied respectfully.
The village chief then asked: "But can you do this? You must know that it is not a good thing to be complex but not refined."
"I know what you said, village chief. I have decided to put study first, and a gentleman has six arts, which requires both civil and military skills." Regarding the village chief's question, Zhao Fei already had an answer, so he spoke it without thinking.
.
"Oh? You're from a peasant family and you actually know the Six Arts of a Gentleman?" The village chief was once again shocked by Zhao Fei.
"It's over, it's revealed again. Why can't I control my mouth?" Zhao Fei once thought sadly about his mouth.
"This...this...village chief...me." Zhao Fei's mouth was awkward again, he was stumbling, and he didn't know what to say.
Seeing Zhao Fei's embarrassed look, the village chief couldn't help but laugh.
"Hahaha, okay Xiaofei, no need to explain too much. Since you are hiding something and this matter has nothing to do with it, I won't press you. Otherwise, it will appear that I, an old man, are unreasonable. Since you have
If you have this mentality, come to my house from now on, and I agree to teach you. But you have to teach me well. If you fail to learn, don't blame me for being ruthless." The village chief suddenly patted the long table. His expression
Awe-inspiring, his eyes were like sharp swords coming out of his body, staring directly at Zhao Fei.
Hearing the village chief's agreement, Zhao Fei couldn't help but stand up and couldn't help but bow to the village chief and kept saying: "Thank you teacher, thank you teacher. The students will definitely study hard and live up to the teacher's high expectations."
of."
Seeing Zhao Fei's attitude, the village chief couldn't help but nodded to Zhao Fei happily. He immediately entered the role of a teacher. He waved his hand and motioned for Zhao Fei to sit down. He stroked his beard lightly and asked, "Since you know that gentleman
Six arts, do you know which six arts are included in these six arts?"
Zhao Fei was stunned when he asked this question. He only knew the term "Junzi Six Arts". If he really asked him to say that there were six arts, he really couldn't explain why. So he could only tell the truth to the village chief:
"Students don't know, so they still need the teacher's guidance."
"Well, that's right. When it comes to learning, I'm not afraid that you don't know, but I'm afraid that you don't dare to ask. You have this quality, which proves that I made the right choice." The village chief nodded with satisfaction and said to Zhao Fei. Then he stood up and turned around and walked closer to the house.
, and after a while he came out holding a bamboo slip.
Arriving at the long table, the village chief knelt down, opened the bamboo slips, and continued, "Since you don't know, I'll tell you about it. The Six Arts of a Gentleman are the six compulsory courses required by a gentleman, and they include the five rites.
Six Music, Five Shooting, Five Yu, Six Books, Nine Numbers. The teaching of the Six Arts is also step-by-step, divided into minor arts and major arts. Book, Numbers are minor arts, while Rites, Music, Shooting, and Yu are major.
Arts. I will teach you small arts first, that is, calligraphy and counting. Six of the six arts are literacy. Liu Xin's "Qilue" of the Western Han Dynasty says: In ancient times, people entered elementary school at the age of eight, so Zhou Guanbao took charge of the country's sons and taught them.
The six books refer to pictograms, Xiangshi, Xiangyi, onomatopoeia, Zhuanzhu, and pseudoborrowing, which are the basis of character creation. And Xiangxing, Xiangshi, Xiangyi, and onomatopoeia refer to the physical structure of the characters, Zhuanzhu, and Qian borrowing refer to the character structure.
The way to use words. Numbers in the Six Arts are "Nine-Nine Multiplication Songs", which is also a basic course..."
Listening to the village chief's explanation, Zhao Fei was also shocked. It turns out that there was a multiplication table in the Three Kingdoms era. The wisdom of the ancients is really endless.
The teaching time passed very quickly, and the whole morning passed in the blink of an eye. The village chief was still explaining with endless interest. Zhao Fei also fully carried forward the spirit of a good student. If he encountered something he didn’t understand, he asked questions. The village chief was also very patient.
Explain it to him over and over until Zhao Fei figures it out.
Suddenly the village chief stood up and said: "Okay, it's almost time. Learning cannot be achieved overnight, it must be done step by step. That's all for today. I will think more about it when I go back, hoping to understand it. You don't need to come over this afternoon. Go
Just learn martial arts from Xiaofeng. From now on, you come to study with me in the morning and go to Xiaofeng to learn martial arts in the afternoon."
The village chief stood up. Zhao Fei hurriedly followed and replied respectfully: "I understand, teacher. If nothing happens, the students will go back first. I will study with the teacher tomorrow."
"Haha, go ahead." The village chief nodded again.
Looking at Zhao Fei's leaving figure, the village chief felt very satisfied. In his heart, he was still very satisfied with Zhao Fei as a student. He felt that he was very talented, respected his teachers, and was not ashamed to ask questions. Although he didn't say so verbally.
He said, but in his heart he already regarded Zhao Fei as a student who could inherit his legacy.
"I see that there will be two great talents in Zhaojia Village in the future." The village chief said with emotion.
