Although this Gu Hai had been here two or three times, the impression left on him was profound. Of course, it was not a good impression.
This child has mediocre qualifications and is rude. Most importantly, he cannot concentrate and work hard. If he were placed in a family with better family conditions and spent money to hire a good teacher to train him, he would still have a chance in learning, but this child's family background... ..
The husband shook his head. I am afraid that it is this that prevents the child from studying hard. It has been a year since the last separation. He heard that his father is no longer here. Under such circumstances, he does not believe that this is the case. Your child will make great academic progress in this short period of one year.
Sure enough, he still had the same reckless temperament. If he said a few soft words to apologize and admit his mistake, he would kick him out and order him to go home and think about it behind closed doors for a few months. After the spring exam, he would start studying again. Yes, although it is a pity to miss the big exam, for this kid like Gu Hai, what is the difference between missing the big exam and not missing it
"Well, I won't deceive you either..." The student took a few steps back and forth, seemed to think for a moment, then turned to look at Gu Haida and said, "The title is "Knowing Benevolence, Peace, Happiness and Longevity."
When the students around him heard this, some whispered to each other, and some began to compose silently in their hearts.
"This proposition is not difficult to say, but if you want to make it in a few steps..." the gentle student whispered outside, his brows slightly wrinkled, his face was a bit unbearable, "... I'm afraid..."
The student here said the question and looked at Gu Hai who was standing still and smiled.
"What do you think, junior?"
Gu Hai raised his feet and took a step forward, saying to himself: "One..."
He really started counting, and there was an uproar and disbelief around him. Even Gu Long, who had been cursing, was stunned.
"two.."
Gu Hai seemed to turn a blind eye to everyone's gazes. He lowered his head and walked slowly and steadily step by step with his hands behind his back.
Slowly, voices were heard from all around to help him count.
"seven…"
After the voice fell, the whole place was silent, and all eyes fell on the young man standing in the field with his hands behind his back.
"The theory says that my body has a complete rationale. If the body is established and the effect exists, it is just the nature. ..."
"Madam, all people in this life have this principle. The original body is within the principle. How can the natural effect come from outside the principle?..."
"It's not okay to talk about theory without any experience; it's also not okay to do it if it's beneficial..."
"My knowledge is also benevolent, which means that my whole body is rational..."
"Those who know, the body moves in response to the surrounding currents, and the movement is suitable for change, so that the natural joy can remain..."
The young man's voice was loud and clear, pouring out like running water. Those who didn't understand were surprised because he spoke so smoothly, while those who understood him were surprised by the content.
"Okay..." The gentle student's smile grew thicker, he touched his palms and whispered "Okay".
Although the expression on Leng Ran's face remained unchanged, he nodded.
"It's simple and clear to solve a topic, and it's quick and easy to tell a novel..." he whispered while listening.
The gentle student smiled lowly and looked at the young man who was standing tall and solemn in the field. He said, "I can think of the source and context in one step, recognize its origin in two steps, establish the idea in three steps, construct a sentence in four steps, and break the original title in five steps. Six steps to prove the thesis, seven steps..."
Along with their conversation, the young man's writing also came to an end.
"..Movement and stillness are the root of each other, and happiness and longevity are interrelated to their experience. Is it the change of the bodyless? Is it the unpredictable divine connection? Therefore, it is said that movement and stillness have no origin, and yin and yang have no beginning. The same goes for foolishness and benevolent knowledge. Discuss carefully."
After this sentence fell, the place was silent for a moment.
"Okay" someone suddenly shouted loudly, accompanied by loud applause.
The sound gradually spread, first sparsely and then in an uproar, with constant cheers.
At this time, Gu Hai's lips were tightly closed, his eyes were focused, and there seemed to be no expression on his face, but the violent rise and fall of his chest showed his true state of mind at this time. The hands behind his back were clenched tightly, with only the fingers held. The knots turn white.
Gu Long, who was sitting on the ground blankly, looked at the upright young man with his mouth open. He felt something fly past his eyes. His vision was a little blurry, and he felt that he could no longer look directly.
My eyes are broken... Gu Long said in his heart, he covered his eyes with a cry, but unfortunately the voice was drowned in the noise of applause.
"Nonsense." The gentleman finally spoke. His expression was still solemn, but his voice was much softer, and his eyes looking at Gu Hai were a little more lively.
"Gather a crowd to fight, and you will be punished by standing for a day and copying ten articles from Shaoyi." The gentleman said in a deep voice, looking at Gu Long who was covering his face and howling, "Do you have any objections?"
Gu Long was startled and lowered his voice. The teacher punished students in the past. Where did he ask students for their opinions? What does he mean by asking
"If you have any objections," the teacher looked at him with a serious look, "either leave the school, or write a seven-step document to prove your innocence."
Gu Long yelled, "Are you kidding me? He can do it in seven steps, but he can do it in seven steps..."
This is obviously to stop this dispute from being a daily fun among students.
Gu Long weighed the pros and cons of making trouble with the clan leader or being kicked out of the school by his husband. If he made trouble with the clan leader, he might not be able to take advantage. If he was kicked out of the school, he would definitely be unlucky...
"Disciple, please follow your teacher's teachings." He said dejectedly and in a thick nasal voice.
The teacher expressed his gratitude and glanced at the students. The students immediately shrank their hands and dispersed. The teacher then turned around and walked away. His steps were light and he seemed to be in a good mood.
"It seems that in the spring exam next year, this boy's future is unlimited..." Wen Ya, a student, looked at his husband's back and said with a smile.
"We won't know until the exam is over..." Student Leng Ran said calmly.
"Cousin, bet?" Wenya student smiled.
"Afraid of you?" Student Leng Ran snorted, "What are you betting on?"
"Your Qingmai Duan Inkstone." Wenya student smiled.
Student Leng Ran looked at him, as if he knew what you were thinking, and suddenly smiled.
"Okay, I'll bet my Qingmai Duanyan that he will be in the top three..." He stretched out three slender fingers and shook them.
Top three... Wenya student's expression changed slightly. Gu Hai had indeed made a good impression on him, but to be in the top three... Jiankang City was so big that there were so many talented people...
"If you lose, your Tao River greenstone belongs to me..." Student Leng Ran reached out and patted his shoulder, with a rare smile on his face.
It turned out that he was plotting against him. The Wen Ya student shook his head and smiled.
Their eyes fell on Gu Hai, who was turning around to leave.
"Gu Hai" Gu Long pushed away the boy's support and shouted bitterly, "Wait, we are going out..."
"How about going out?" Gu Hai suddenly turned around and strode up to him.
His face was cold and solemn, and his brows were full of evil spirits. Gu Long was so frightened that he couldn't help but take a few steps back and lean on the boy behind him.
"I dare to beat you here...I will still dare to beat you when I go out." Gu Hai raised his fist and waved it in front of his eyes.
Gu Long subconsciously hugged his head and screamed. He looked up again and saw that the young man had strode away.
"You'd better stay away from me...or else I'll beat you up every time..." A few steps away, Gu Hai turned around and gave him a stern look.
Gu Long's last trace of momentum collapsed.
This makes it impossible for anyone to live, and now he is even inferior to him in both civil and military affairs...
"Bah." Gu Long watched the young man walk away, then regained his expression of anger, "This time, for the sake of my husband, I will let you go first."
The consequences of this matter were unexpectedly resolved by my husband in person, and he spoke to both parents respectively, so that the matter did not become a big deal.
Because seeing the injuries on these two people, Gu Leshan and Gu Shiniang, who were furious and prepared to fight themselves, had to suppress their anger, while Guo and Cao, who were crying, shed tears for a few more days.
The matter has passed for the time being, but the two families that were already in conflict have become more incompatible.
Because of his injury and embarrassment, Gu Long stopped going to school on vacation early from that day and took out his anger on Gu Yu at home every day.
In the backyard of Gu Leshan's house is a large plum grove, which is a family property and well-known in the city. However, it is not open to the public and is only for family and friends to enjoy. It snowed heavily for two consecutive days and the plum blossoms were in full bloom. From a distance, it looked like a fairyland on earth.
Gu Yu carefully laid out the rocking chair in the pavilion, and Gu Long lay down hummingly, ordering to eat this, drink that, and toss around for a while to cool down or heat up.
Seeing him closing his eyes slightly on the rocking chair, seeming to drift in and out of sleep, Gu Yu knew that this meant that Gu Long was in a good mood.
Holding the tea in his hands, he boldly asked the questions he had been holding back these days.
"... Young Master, you said that Gu Hai wrote the essay in seven steps... I don't know what question he set?" He asked in a low voice.
Gu Long, who seemed to be sleeping but not sleeping, said in confusion: "... Zhidong... Ren... Longevity..."
"Does Renjing live a happy life?" Gu Yu asked hurriedly.
"Oh, yes, it seems..." Gu Long said smoothly. He suddenly got excited, came back to his senses, and knocked over the tea in Gu Yu's hand, splashing all over the young man, "You bitch, who asked you to mention this? Look? It’s a joke, isn’t it?”
He grabbed the fruit plate on the side and smashed it on Gu Yu's head. The porcelain shattered and a stream of blood flowed down Gu Yu's forehead.
"Master, please calm down. Master, please calm down. It's a small mistake..." Gu Yu knelt on the ground and kept saying, without reaching out to wipe the wound.
Blood dripped on the ground, and the cold stone floor showed a strange bright red. Gu Long stretched out his hand and hit him twice. He finally felt a little weak, cursed a few times, got up and walked away.
Gu Yu stood up and did not chase after him as usual. Blood ran down his snow-white cheeks. The young man's eyes seemed to be dyed red with blood, giving him a monster-like look.
"Zhi Dong Ren Jing Le Shou..." He murmured and walked down the small pavilion step by step.
Yesterday's heavy snow covered the whole plum blossom with a brocade-like blanket, and the white snow and red plum blossoms intertwined in a picturesque scene.
Gu Yu shuffled along without noticing the surrounding scenery at all. Because the weather was cold and the New Year was approaching, no one came here to enjoy the snow and explore the plum blossoms. Only his footprints were left on the clean and vast ground.
One step, two steps, three steps, four steps...
The young man suddenly stopped, his face bursting with brilliance. He stretched out his hand to tear off the plum branch, and started writing on the ground. The pen was written with flying dragons and phoenixes, and he murmured in his mouth, completely forgetting everything around him.
Putting away the last stroke, it was already ten feet away from where it started.
Looking at his masterpiece, Gu Yu suddenly laughed and threw the branch in his hand, knocking the snow off the tree and falling layer by layer, shrouding the young man in snow mist.
"A document can be written in seven steps, a document can be written in seven steps." He didn't realize it at all, raised his hands and raised his head and laughed, "So what? I can do it in four steps... So what, so what..."
He smiled with a hint of crying in his voice.
A shadow suddenly covered his figure.
"Did you write this?" A cold female voice sounded behind Gu Yu.
Gu Yu was startled and turned around suddenly, only to find that there were two more people behind him, women.
The maid in lotus-colored jacket and green satin skirt held a green silk umbrella in her hand, shielding the falling snow for the beautiful woman in beige fur cloak with dark gold edging.
The woman's face was cold, her eyebrows were picturesque, and her eyes fell on the writing on the snow.
"Did you do it? Is it really four steps?" She turned her eyes and looked at the blood-stained young man in front of her with a dazed look on his face. The expression on his cold face softened slightly.
"What happened?" she asked, "Who hurt you?"
Gu Yu shook his head and lowered his head, "No, I was not careful..."
How could this deceive the woman, but she did not ask again, but read the articles written on the ground again, with a smile of admiration on her lips.
"Are you studying in school?" she asked again.
The boy in front of him shook his head again.
"You haven't studied?" The woman was a little surprised and raised her thin green eyebrows, "Then who did you learn this from?"
"I...I read it in the young master's study..." the young man said timidly. He raised his head and his face was full of horror. He knelt down, "...Madam...don't tell my master...I will never tell you this again." Saw it…”
This lady? The child didn't recognize her, and the woman's smile grew wider. She rarely went out, but there weren't many people in the clan who didn't recognize her... Could it be that the young master the child was talking about belonged to which family? Boy
The servant has learned to such an extent through self-study, he is truly a rare talent….
"Which family do you come from?" Her voice was a little softer. Seeing how frightened the child was because of her question, with bright red blood on his fair face, and eyes like a weak deer that had lost its protection, she couldn't help but feel... Her heart softened.
"Don't be afraid, I won't tell them." She whispered, stretched out her jade-like hand from her cloak, and bent down to help Gu Yu up.
"I am... from Mr. Gu Leshan's family..." the young man lowered his head and said weakly, seeming to say the last sentence in a somewhat unspeakable way, "... my name is Gu Yu..."
Gu Yu? The woman seemed to have heard it somewhere. The girl next to her whispered a few words in her ear. The woman's face suddenly dawned. She looked at the trembling young man with his head lowered and sighed.
"Well, you learned well." She finally said nothing else, sighed softly, and turned around.
Gu Yu still stood there blankly, with his head lowered, as if he was frightened.
No one noticed that his hands hanging in his sleeves were clenched tightly at this time.
The crunching footsteps on the snow went away step by step, and finally stopped after ten steps.
The woman under the green umbrella with white snow, red plums and green plums turned around.
"Do you... want to study?" she asked coldly, but there was an almost undetectable tenderness in her eyes.
