Chapter 82: Become a Disciple

Teacher.

To teach and impart knowledge and resolve doubts.

Confucius said, "Those who are above the age of 18 have never failed to teach me."

Mr. Cui also follows this path.

He and Old Lady Cui sat in the main seats and accepted the three kowtows from the brothers Jiang Zifeng and Jiang Ziyan.

After the ceremony.

The two of them also presented six gifts of tribute to their teacher and his wife.

Celery, lotus seeds, red beans, red dates, longan, and dried meat strips.

After Mr. Cui accepted the tuition, he gave each of them a return gift...

A copy of "The Analects of Confucius".

A scallion and a celery stalk.

The rest of the red tape was omitted.

Therefore, Jiang Miaomiao felt that Mr. Cui was only serious on the outside, and he was not a stubborn and pedantic old scholar at heart.

Although Mr. Cui did not accept any gold or silver gifts, it did not prevent my mother from expressing her gratitude in her own way.

My mother has eaten countless delicacies and has her own unique taste.

Although she is not good at cooking, she is good at tasting.

I guess this is one of the indispensable abilities for the ladies from wealthy families.

Although they have never been involved in women's activities, they have unique taste.

Even a young lady like my mother, who came from a military family, was no exception.

My mother can eat but she is not good at cooking, and Aunt Xiuxiu makes up for her shortcomings.

With my mother's guidance and Aunt Xiuxiu's craftsmanship.

We also brought our own bacon, pheasant, goat milk, dried bamboo shoots, sour bamboo shoots, and fresh bamboo shoots...

Made a large table of delicious food.

To thank Mr. Cui for teaching my two brothers.

Mr. Cui was very pleased!

He also admired the character and talents of his old friend's daughter.

In the days to come.

The brothers Jiang Zifeng and Jiang Ziyan would come to Cui's house every two days to study for three days, and spend the remaining two days reviewing the homework assigned by the teacher.

Jiang Miaomiao and her daughter also became frequent visitors to Cui's house.

It wasn't Lu Qingyao who came to bring some wild game snacks or desserts and fruits to the two elders.

It’s just that Old Mrs. Cui wants to see Jiang Miaomiao.

The little girl's position in the hearts of the two old people is almost higher than that of their little grandson who lives thousands of miles away.

When the little baby saw the two elders, the first thing he did was kiss each of them, and then he giggled.

It made the two elders laugh heartily.

There is a kind of family happiness of playing with grandchildren.

At the beginning of the class, the two brothers started.

The second brother's studies were often praised by Mr. Cui, but the eldest brother only received a sigh from Mr. Cui, "Feng'er, take care of yourself!"

Because my eldest brother often falls asleep involuntarily in class.

After being scolded and made to stand in the corner by his mother, the eldest brother felt extremely ashamed.

How could he have such an opportunity to be taught by Mr. Cui himself?

He actually dozed off in class.

It's so embarrassing!

I have failed my teacher, my mother, my sister, my brother, my grandparents...

He immediately made a decision to follow the example of the ancient sages who worked hard.

So, there was this scene...

In class.

Three young men sat side by side, one of them had a rope tied to his bun, and the other end of the rope was tied to the beam of the house.

Mr. Cui was giving his lecture with full concentration.

Jiang Ziyan and Sun Yanshu listened to the lecture attentively.

Jiang Zifeng was still dozing off while listening to the lecture.

“Hiss, it hurts…”

As soon as he dozed off, his hair was pulled up and he let out a scream.

As a result, Jiang Ziyan and Sun Yanshu had no interest in attending the class, and Mr. Cui had no interest in teaching.

All the attention was on Jiang Zifeng.

So much so that Jiang Miaomiao was worried about her brother...

I’m worried that if this continues, my brother will become bald!

Will I become a bald champion or a bald general in the future?

Hey!

Jiang Miaomiao shuddered.

Thinking of that scene, I can’t bear to look at it.

…

Jiang Ziyan's eyebrows twitched and he was worried about his elder brother.

He had never experienced the pain of hanging himself from the beam and piercing his legs with a needle.

He never dozed off during the teacher's class. It was not because he was not sleepy, but because he was very eager to learn.

There is no time to take a nap.

Sun Yanshu couldn't believe his eyes and lay on the table with his head covered and laughed.

There are such interesting people in this world.

I can even fall asleep with my head hanging!

But Mr. Cui fell into self-doubt.

He blew his beard, his eyes as big as copper bells, staring at Jiang Zifeng.

His students are all over the world, and his followers are all over the court. Even those unruly princes and grandchildren of the emperor are the ones he cannot subdue.

But there has never been anyone like Jiang Zifeng who studied hard in his class.

Even in this state, you can still sleep?

But the key point is that the child didn’t do this on purpose. He could still fall asleep after working so hard!

He is also a genius.

Mr. Cui was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. His lifelong reputation was about to be ruined by this kid.

Therefore, Mr. Cui decided to adjust Jiang Zifeng's course schedule and teach him according to his aptitude.

When three people walk together, there must be one who can be my teacher.

The old teacher focused on teaching him military strategies, such as "The Art of War", "Guiguzi" and "Six Secret Teachings".

He assigned his most capable guard, Chen Qian, to be his martial arts instructor.

In this way, one can improve rapidly.

Jiang Miaomiao could see that Big Brother had changed from climbing over the wall and climbing up and down to flying over the eaves and walls...

He can also be seen shaking his head in the courtyard, reciting attentively, "Sun Tzu said: When governing the masses, one should treat them as one would a few, and the key is to divide them into groups..."

Jiang Ziyan, on the other hand, combined the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought, mastering poetry, verses, classics, history, the Six Arts, policy essays, statecraft, and the art of war...

It can be said that I have inherited the true teachings of Mr. Cui.

Only Jiang Miaomiao still eats free meals.

But she has made progress...

Time flies, and she can crawl now!

Miaomiao, who is less than eight months old, can already crawl.

After all, infancy is too long and it is also a kind of torture, so you have to make progress faster.

Apart from eating, sleeping, and pooping, the baby also practices crawling.

Master basic human abilities as quickly as possible.

From crawling to standing, and then to walking upright, becoming a wise person.

This is the law of human evolution.

Lu Qingyao felt that her daughter was extremely clean. She didn't even crawl on the ground, but only crawled inside the circle of the straw mat.

I had to increase the size of the straw mat.

Little Miaomiao crawled back and forth, sometimes rolled over, sometimes played with his feet, and sometimes lay on his back, staring at the blue sky in a daze.

Will a little kid feel sad?

The baby naturally doesn’t have it, but Jiang Miaomiao does.

Because my brother said that an uninvited guest came to Qingshi Town.
