Chapter 6: The teacher's first class, the meaning of learning from the wise

Ye Xiuxiu picked up the teacup.

He tilted his head back and slurped the tea into his mouth.

“Xiu Xiu!”

Bai Qingxia, who was standing by, was extremely worried when she saw this.

He subconsciously reached out to snatch the teacup from Ye Xiuxiu's hand.

But at this moment,

A strong hand held her arm tightly.

It turned out that it was Bai Qingxia's husband who tried to stop them.

At this moment,

The highly respected Mr. He Pingsheng, who has hundreds of years of teaching experience,

His eyes widened, his face full of astonishment.

His neatly combed white beard trembled slightly because of shock. This old man who had been teaching for many years and experienced many ups and downs had never encountered such a scene.

After a few "gulps", the tea in the cup was quickly gone.

Ye Xiuxiu put down the cup contentedly and slowly raised her head.

Some fine tea leaves actually got on the corners of her mouth, which were as pink as petals.

When Ye Xiuxiu looked up, she found that everyone was looking at her.

At this moment, she looked confused and full of doubts:

"Why is everyone looking at me like that?"

"What on earth happened?"

Her big eyes, like clear lake water, looked around curiously.

After a while,

She finally realized the problem - it turned out that this cup of tea was not for her!

She couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed, and her face suddenly turned red to her ears.

Ye Xiuxiu tilted her head in embarrassment.

His eyes turned to He Pingsheng who was in a dazed state.

I secretly groaned in my heart:

Oh, it seems that this tea is for teachers!

But,

No one told me in advance that I have to offer tea to the teacher first before drinking tea!

Then, Ye Xiuxiu turned her gaze to her second sister Ye Ruyan who was standing next to He Pingsheng.

She found that although this sister was younger than herself,

But it seems that he knows a lot of rules and etiquette.

In comparison, I felt like a rookie recruit, completely ignorant.

I am obviously a bit precocious!

At this moment, a sudden voice sounded in Ye Xiuxiu's mind:

"Your teacher He Pingsheng has already noticed your second difference."

Hearing this voice, Ye Xiuxiu was stunned at first, and then she started to murmur in her heart:

Seeing the second difference so soon?

Is it that easy?

Should I try taking another sip of tea?

There is a second difference,

On Ye Xiuxiu's face, which was originally as calm as water,

In an instant, it was like a spring flower blooming, and a bright and innocent smile spread out.

Her clear eyes sparkled like the twinkling stars in the night sky.

Seeing this scene, several adults present were also infected.

They all showed knowing smiles.

This girl in front of me is full of childlike innocence and fun.

It's really hard to blame.

Even He Pingsheng, who is always strict, is like this.

On the contrary, his love for Ye Xiuxiu grew deeper.

Ye Xiuxiu asked in a sweet, cute, and childish voice: "Master, should I serve this cup of tea to you?"

He Pingsheng smiled slightly and responded softly: "Actually, as long as someone can enjoy this cup of tea, it is enough. It does not necessarily have to be for the master to drink it."

"Now, both of you sisters have become my disciples!"

After saying that, he turned to look at Ye Qingping who was standing beside him.

Ye Qingping just nodded slightly, indicating his agreement and approval.

Not long after,

He Pingsheng, together with Ye Xiuxiu and Ye Ruyan, appeared in a place in the Ye family that was specially used for teaching.

This place looks like a small and exquisite primary school.

The interior decoration of the house is simple and elegant, yet solemn and elegant.

He Pingsheng coughed twice, cleared his throat and said:

"Generally speaking, if other teachers were to teach students, they would definitely start by teaching them to recognize words and characters."

"After all, writing is the foundation of all knowledge."

"However, as a teacher, I have a different way of teaching."

"I have always believed that moral cultivation is the fundamental foundation for learning and truth-seeking."

"So, I plan to teach you how to cultivate good moral character first."

"Do you two sisters know the profound meaning of the phrase 'seeing a virtuous person and striving to emulate him'?"

Ye Ruyan stared at the extremely familiar scene in front of her.

The corners of his mouth involuntarily rose, revealing a faint smile.

Recalling the previous life, when Teacher He Pingsheng also asked this question,

At that time, I was at a loss and had no answer at all.

Ye Xiuxiu, who was sitting next to her, actually fell asleep right there.

However, at this moment,

She already knew the answer to this question.

Ye Ruyan said without hesitation:

"'Seeing the virtuous and striving to emulate them' means that when we see people with talent and noble character, we should aspire to be like them and strive to be on par with them."

After saying this, she looked at Teacher He Pingsheng confidently.

After listening to Ye Ruyan's answer, Mr. He Pingsheng

He did not respond immediately, but turned his gaze to Ye Xiuxiu.

Gently asked: "Xiu Xiu, what do you think the meaning of 'seeing good people and striving to emulate them' is?"

Ye Xiuxiu blinked her big eyes and tilted her little head.

Repeat the sentence just now:

"See Xiansiqi?"

Obviously, she was still confused about what this sentence meant.

Seeing this, Teacher He Pingsheng smiled and encouraged her, saying, "Think about it carefully."

After hearing what the teacher said, Ye Xiuxiu began to think hard in her mind.

Just as Ye Xiuxiu was thinking hard,

Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

Just interpret it literally.

then,

She shouted excitedly, "I know!"

He Pingsheng looked at Ye Xiuxiu with some anticipation.

"you say."

Even if Ye Xiuxiu repeated Ye Ruyan's words, he would be happy.

"'Seeing the idle thoughts of riding' means,"

"If we see someone who is particularly relaxed, we must find a way to ride on top of them!"
