After the indispensable daily morning practice, the seven little carrot heads had a delicious breakfast in the cafeteria and were rushed to Huai'an Academy.
Chen Chen told everyone: "You study literature with the masters in the morning, and study martial arts with me in the afternoon. I will come to find you then. You all stay in the classroom and don't leave."
The seven people nodded in agreement, and then they gathered together and left the military camp, heading towards the place where Huai'an Academy was located.
This time, there was still a soldier escort. As soon as they arrived, they were ready to carry everyone and move along the mountain road.
"Dear gentlemen, because I didn't have enough time, I ended up being offended."
Zhou Baoer refused immediately, moved his body so that no one could hold him, and said.
"I'm very fast, don't worry about me, I can catch up with you."
Chen Renzhi also extended his hand and rejected these people's kindness.
"I'm already this big. I'm a little adult. I don't need others to hold me."
Next, Chen Yizhi, Chen Lizhi, the twins, and He Tingxiao all refused, saying that they could walk up.
The soldiers didn't say much, and walked forward with a few children in their arms who didn't refuse. The others quickly followed, hurriedly climbed up the mountain path and entered Huai'an Academy.
At the back door of Huai'an Academy, several soldiers stopped and put down the people in their arms.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we won't go in."
Everyone nodded to them and immediately left. He took out his waist badge at the back door, gave it to someone for inspection, and then entered the academy.
After walking in Huai'an Academy for a while, Zhou Baoer asked with a smile.
"Hey, do you know the road? Do you know how to get to your classroom?"
Chen Lizhi replied: "Of course we know. We have been here many times. Before Huai'an Academy was built, we often came here to play."
Zhou Baoer nodded and said again.
"We are going to separate soon, so I won't see you off."
Chen Lizhi was very confused and couldn't bear to look directly at him and asked.
"Uncle Junior, you are younger than us, we should be the ones taking care of you."
Zhou Baoer raised his eyebrows and retorted.
"I'm your boss, and the boss has to take care of his younger brother. There's nothing wrong with that."
After hearing this, everyone looked at each other in shock. How shameless are they to be taken care of by a five-year-old little Douding
At this moment, they had reached a fork in the road. Zhou Baoer said goodbye to everyone, then turned and left.
He Tingxiao was stunned for a moment in the crowd, and soon moved forward stupidly, following Zhou Baoer.
Zhou Baoer pursed his lips and asked.
"I heard that you got lost yesterday and didn't find it back until night?"
After a few breaths, He Tingxiao realized that Zhou Baoer was talking to him, nodded quickly and answered.
"Um!"
Zhou Baoer's eyes flashed with helplessness, and he said rather speechlessly.
"Follow me closely from now on. I will take you where I want to go. However, you must also remember the way carefully so that you don't get lost again."
"Yeah, okay, boss."
He Tingxiao quickly agreed and said many good things.
"Thank you, boss. It's great to have boss here."
After hearing this, Zhou Baoer said with a smile on his lips.
"Yes, very well-behaved, and a qualified little brother. Remember, you have to do whatever I want you to do, and you can't do anything I don't let you do, otherwise you will be good-looking."
He Tingxiao nodded again and said in a sincere tone.
"I obey the boss's command in everything. If the boss tells me to go east, I will never rush to the west. If the boss tells me to kill a chicken, I will never beat a dog."
Zhou Baoer was even more satisfied with this person, although his temperament was a bit worse and his behavior was even more disappointing. But he is very knowledgeable about current affairs, knows how to obey, and is a qualified little brother.
He Tingxiao walked a few steps away from Zhou Baoer and asked hesitantly.
"Boss, how do you remember the way? I obviously walked around the academy before, but I couldn't get out."
Zhou Baoer was in a good mood now and replied with a smile.
"Because I can memorize the road once I walk it. There's no way you and I can compare."
He Tingxiao nodded ignorantly and followed Zhou Baoer into the gifted class classroom.
At this time, there were already people in the classroom, each holding a book or a writing brush, either reading or writing or drawing.
Zhou Baoer greeted everyone in a youthful and cute manner and came to his own seat. Then, he pulled out the box under the desk and took out the Collection of Mongolian Studies from inside.
He Tingxiao, this stupid and stupid being, actually sat next to Zhou Baoer without saying a word, looking at Zhou Baoer with a silly smile.
Zhou Baoer opened the first page of the "Three Character Classic" in the "Collection of Meng Xue" and found that the person hadn't left yet, so he asked with a smile.
"What are you doing sitting here with me? Go back to your seat! Take out this book and take a good look at it."
"oh oh!"
He Tingxiao nodded ignorantly, stood up from the cushion, and returned to his seat.
The girl sitting in front of Zhou Baoer turned around and asked with a puzzled look on her face.
"What is your relationship with that person just now? He seems to listen to you very much!"
Zhou Baoer looked up and immediately remembered this person's information.
This person's name is Kang Yuanyue, and her talent is called Nuwa. Her ability is to give the land more activity, and she has a natural advantage in agriculture.
Zhou Baoer smiled slightly at Kang Yuanyue and explained slowly.
"I'm his boss, so of course he has to listen to me."
Kang Yuanyue looked at He Tingxiao's huge body curiously, then looked at Zhou Baoer's petite and exquisite figure, and asked in confusion.
"Little sister, how did you become his boss?"
Zhou Baoer replied: "The two of us had a fight, and if I won, I will be the boss."
Kang Yuanyue suddenly realized and said.
"So that's it. Then again, you are also born with divine power. It seems that your talent is better than his."
Zhou Baoer said: "Of course, I have calculated it before. I am much stronger than him."
Kang Yuanyue nodded and said again.
"But I feel like there's something wrong with that so-and-so?"
Zhou Baoer pursed his lips and nodded lightly.
Kang Yuanyue frowned and continued.
"I feel like he is still stupid and can't even understand people's words."
There was a hint of embarrassment at the corner of Zhou Baoer's mouth, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl in. She didn't know what was going on, but she just felt that it was so embarrassing to have a younger brother like He Tingxiao!
Kang Yuanyue saw that Zhou Baoer was silent and continued.
"However, it doesn't matter if you are stupid, as long as you can suppress him forever, you can make him listen to you forever."
"That's right. I will watch him carefully from now on and won't let him cause trouble to anyone else."
Zhou Baoer squeezed out these words from the roots of his teeth and pretended not to change his expression.
"Although he is like a beast and relies entirely on instinct. However, I am confident that I can beat him and make him follow the law of the jungle."
Kang Yuanyue nodded and continued: "Only in nature can there be pure prey of the jungle. In human societies like ours, there are all kinds of rules, which is really annoying. However, I I have to admit that some rules are good, but there are still many rules that are not so good.”
Zhou Baoer felt that the sister in front of him spoke confusingly, and her words did not match her words. However, he still understood what she said and nodded in agreement.
"Sister Kang is right, human society is like this. However, since Sister Kang doesn't like those annoying rules, why don't you want to change them?"
Hearing this, Kang Yuanyue stared at Xiao Douding in front of her in stunned silence and said with a serious expression.
"How can it be so easy to change some rules?"
"Why not give it a try?"
Zhou Baoer blinked his eyes gently and said in a bewitching tone.
"Maybe it will succeed."
Kang Yuanyue thought this made sense, thought about it again and again, nodded and said.
"What you said makes sense. I will give it a try in the future. If it fails, it will just remain the same. No one is willing to let a genius like me die. If it succeeds, that will be even better. We will have a brand new future."
After finding a like-minded person who wanted to take action, Zhou Baoer smiled happily, making his beautiful big eyes curve into crescents, which was very beautiful.
At this moment, a man suddenly walked out of the door. He was dressed in rich clothes, wearing a jade crown, with gray hair and beard, and a solemn expression.
"The Master is here,"
Zhou Baoer reached out and pushed Kang Yuanyue and whispered.
Kang Yuanyue quickly turned around and sat upright, acting like a good child.
The person who came to the classroom was none other than Pei Xuanli, the dean of Huai'an Academy and the head teacher of the gifted class. It was rumored that he had retired from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and was named the Marquis of Huai'an.
After his arrival, the entire classroom fell silent for just one breath. No matter what the considerations were, everyone was in awe of him.
Pei Xuanli was very satisfied with the current scene. He knocked on the table with a wooden stick tied with red tassels and said solemnly.
"I already know your progress, and now I will teach you how to continue learning. Remember, everyone should be calm and don't make me angry. Otherwise, even if you are geniuses, I will not show mercy."
Everyone nodded obediently, with no intention of resisting at all.
Pei Xuanli smiled happily and began to teach everyone one-on-one. A quarter of an hour later, it was Zhou Baoer's turn.
"You said you can read and recite the Three-Character Classic and the Thousand-Character Classic. Do you understand what they mean?"
Didn’t Master already ask this question yesterday? Why ask now
A trace of doubt flashed in Zhou Baoer's mind, and he answered very obediently.
"As for Master, I don't know."
When Pei Xuanli heard these words, he took the book in Zhou Baoer's hand, pointed at the Three-Character Sutra and began to explain.
Zhou Baoer said a lot of words at once, which made Zhou Baoer stunned for a while.
Finally, Pei Xuanli said: "From the beginning of human beings, their nature is good until they don't learn when they are young. This short paragraph of Lao He Wei talks about the importance of learning. Please understand it carefully. I will explain it to you again in a while."
Zhou Baoer nodded, picked up the book and started reading. Recalling Master's words and comparing them with the contents of the Three-Character Sutra, I gradually understood the meaning of each word.
[When humans are born, they are inherently good and similar in nature. □□ means human beings. When we humans are born, our natures are all kind. They are all similar in nature. It is only the different environment and education they received that lead to huge differences in their habits.
Wait, wait, is this really the case? Why do I think that when human beings are born, their temperaments are inherently evil? For example, I can eat fish and meat without hesitation to maintain my life. ]
Then looking down, Zhou Baoer felt more puzzled.
[If you don’t teach, your nature will change. The way to teach is to be specialized. The meaning of this sentence is that if you are not educated well from childhood, your good nature will turn bad. In order to prevent people from becoming bad, the most important way is to educate children with concentration.
However, I heard that many scholars are very bad. For example, they abandon their wives and children, and are greedy for money and lust, which is completely synonymous with evil. Therefore, it can be proved that reading is useless for maintaining a kind nature! Moreover, there are also many kind-hearted people in this world who do not study! ]
[Xi Meng’s mother chose a neighbor’s place. If you don't learn, you will lose your chance. Dou Yanshan has a righteous prescription. Teach five sons and they will all become famous.
The previous meaning is that during the Warring States Period, Mencius's mother moved three times in order to provide Mencius with a good learning environment. The child refused to study hard, so Meng's mother broke the weaving machine to educate Mencius.
The meaning of the latter paragraph is that during the Five Dynasties, Dou Yujun, a native of Yanshan, was very good at educating his sons. The five sons he educated were all successful and became famous in the imperial examinations.
Well, these two sentences are related to historical stories. If you don’t know the specific story, you may not understand the meaning of these two sentences. Another day I will go to the library to read and learn about these two periods of history. ]
Nodding secretly, Zhou Baoer continued to look down.
[It is the fault of the father to raise but not teach. If the teaching is not strict, the teacher will be lazy.
This sentence means that it is the parents' fault to merely provide food and clothing for their children without educating them properly. It's just education, but if you don't have strict requirements, you are lazy as a teacher.
This paragraph seems to make sense, but not many people seem to know it. Take our village as an example. Many people can only provide food and clothing for their children, but cannot let them study and study. I heard that a few years ago, he couldn't even afford food and clothing, so he had to force his family to eat glutinous rice. ]
Thinking of this, Zhou Baoer felt a little uncomfortable, and then read the last sentence of Master's explanation.
[It is not appropriate for a child not to learn. If you don't learn when you are young, what will you do when you are old
This sentence means that it is very inappropriate for children to refuse to study hard. If a person does not study hard when he is young and does not understand the principles of life and has no knowledge when he is old, it will be difficult for him to make a difference when he is old.
Well, I think this sentence makes sense. Children should study hard and work hard to absorb all kinds of knowledge. Grandma said that as long as you can understand more things, the future will be easier. ]
Although there was still a lot of confusion in his heart, Zhou Baoer still kept the meaning of these words in his mind.
After she understood all the knowledge points, she found that Pei Xuanli was still teaching others and it was not over yet.
Now at this time, the classroom is no longer as quiet as it was at the beginning, and the sound of reading can be heard from everywhere.
Zhou Baoer looked back and forth, then patted the person in front of him on the shoulder.
"Sister Kang, have you written down what Master taught you?"
The person in front turned his head, nodded slightly, and asked again.
"What about you? Did you write it down?"
Zhou Baoer smiled slightly and said confidently.
"I've written it down, and I still remember it clearly."
Kang Yuanyue then asked: "What have you learned? Tell me."
Zhou Baoer gestured with the book and replied.
"That's the meaning of this paragraph. Master just said it again and asked me to write it down first."
The corner of Kang Yuanyue's mouth twitched, and she endured it again and again, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and said.
"Actually, these books are not for us women."
Zhou Baoer asked with a flash of surprise in his eyes.
"Sister Kang, why do you say that?"
Kang Yuanyue sneered, turned over a few pages of the Three-Character Sutra, pointed to a passage and said.
"Look here, this is it. Read it out and I'll explain to you what it means."
Zhou Baoer looked over curiously and read the entire paragraph word for word.
"Cai Wenji can play the piano. Xie Daoyun can chant. That woman is also smart. Men, please be careful."
Kang Yuanyue sneered again, glanced left and right, and said cautiously.
"The meaning of this sentence is this. There were many outstanding capable women in ancient times. For example, Cai Wenji in the late Eastern Han Dynasty could distinguish the quality of the sound of the piano, and Xie Daoyun, a talented woman in the Jin Dynasty, could write poems out of her mouth. Two people like this Girls, one knows music and the other can write poetry, they are so talented; as a man, he must always be vigilant and enrich himself."
As soon as the words entered his ears, Zhou Baoer nodded in understanding and said to Kang Yuanyue.
"Sister is right. These books are definitely not for girls like us. What's even more disgusting is that the author of the books also implicitly told boys not to lose to girls and always dominate girls."
Kang Yuanyue sighed, patted Zhou Baoer's shoulder again, and said.
"That's why we have to work hard, study hard, and beat those boys."
Zhou Baoer nodded solemnly, indicating that he understood.
Kang Yuanyue suddenly showed a look of disgust on her face, and then said with hatred.
"You must not listen to some people saying that a man will not like women who are smarter than him, nor will he like women who are more capable than him. Those capable and smart women are destined not to get married. "
Zhou Baoer nodded again and said.
"Sister Kang, I understand."
She doesn't know how to get married, so she doesn't have to think about such things.
Kang Yuanyue gritted her teeth and told Zhou Baoer in a low voice.
What was said just now was said by a woman, not by a man. The woman looked smug when she said it, thinking that she had made a great point and it was worth learning from others.
At that time, she couldn't stand it any more and directly yelled at the person. Are girls born just to get married? In order to get married, it would be better to just jump into the river and die if you suppress your temperament and humiliate your talents.
Now thinking about this incident, Kang Yuanyue still felt uncomfortable all over. When a woman puts her own value on getting married and having children, is she still a self-made person? Rather than being a woman, it is better to say that she is a vassal of men. What's even more unceremonious is that she is just a female slave.
Zhou Baoer swallowed, and a psychological feeling of disgust suddenly arose in his body. So disgusting, so disgusting, so disgusting!
Why did she feel depressed and heavy in her heart, as if one mountain after another was pressing on her, unable to stand up easily.
My mood also became wrong. I really wanted to jump up right now, slap and kick all the men present.
Kang Yuanyue patted Zhou Baoer's shoulder again and said with emotion.
"Do you feel uncomfortable? In fact, I am the same. I am lucky that I have talent and was born in a noble family. Regardless of whether I will marry into a well-matched family, I have the right and obligation to go out and do things, so I am not like other ordinary people. Just like girls, they are violated by the three obediences and four virtues."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Baoer looked up at Kang Yuanyue and said without any doubt.
"One day, I will burn these books and re-edit books for our girls."
Kang Yuanyue smiled bitterly and said.
"Your idea is very good, I hope you can do it in the future."
Zhou Baoer looked at each other quietly, with a solemn expression.
She said: "Sister Kang, I will do this in the future. When the time comes, you must help me."
Kang Yuanyue agreed without thinking and said.
"Of course I will help you, because helping you means helping myself. But let me tell you first, my talent comes from the legendary Nuwa Empress. Her ability is to increase the activity of the land and make plants grow better. , it has no effect on your ideas.”
She said so, but she didn't have much confidence in what Zhou Baoer said. It's like her idea of changing the rules of the world was just to give it a try. Anyway, even if it is unsuccessful, it will not be much worse than now.
Zhou Baoer smiled slightly and retorted.
"No, Sister Kang's talent is very good, very good."
She had heard about the deeds of Emperor Tai/Ancestor and knew that in order to achieve her goals, she needed an army, food, and talents.
If Kang Yuanyue can increase food output, he must let the other party join his camp and work together for the rights and interests of his daughter's family.
