Chapter 106 Don’t let your childhood sweetheart find out~
"Xiao Mo, then you don't have to go to school today?"
The next morning, Xiao Mo sat in the courtyard and had breakfast with Bai Rushue. Bai Rushue blinked at Xiao Mo.
After Xiao Mo came back yesterday, he told Bai Rushue what happened in the school.
Bai Ruxue didn't care at all about the quarrel between Xiao Mo and the old man.
If it really doesn't work, I will take Xiao Mo to another academy.
If all else fails, he will go to the Confucian Academy and kidnap a few chief priests to give Xiao Mo private lessons.
"I guess I can't go." Xiao Mo smiled and shook his head, "But it's okay, I'll go find Mr. Qi and ask him later."
"No need to ask."
Just as Xiao Mo finished speaking, a pleasant female voice came from outside the courtyard.
Xiao Mo and Bai Rushue turned around and saw Shang Jiuli was already standing outside the door.
"Good morning, both of you." Shang Jiuli waved his hand.
"Senior Sister." Xiao Mo stood up and bowed.
Bai Ruxue snorted and turned her head away.
She doesn't like this woman.
Shang Jiuli walked into the courtyard and said with a smile, "Teacher said you don't have to go to the academy anymore. From today on, you, my little junior brother, will study with us under our teacher's guidance."
As she spoke, Shang Jiuli put her hands behind her back and walked forward playfully: "Senior Sister, I thought it would take you two or three years to leave the academy, but it only took you three months."
"Not bad, not bad." Shang Jiuli reached out and patted Xiao Mo's shoulder, "You are worthy of being my junior brother."
Shang Jiuli had barely patted Xiao Mo twice when Bai Ruxue immediately stepped forward, pulled Xiao Mo away, and looked at her warily: "Miss Shang! Men and women shouldn't touch each other! Please keep your distance, Miss Shang!"
"But you two are still living together?" Shang Jiuli looked down and saw Bai Ruxue's small hand holding Xiao Mo's big hand. "You're holding hands together."
"No, it's different. We are childhood sweethearts!" A faint blush appeared on Bai Ruxue's cheeks.
"Okay." Shang Jiuli smiled lightly and said to Xiao Mo, "Let's go, Xiao Mo, go to the teacher's class. If you are late, the teacher will be angry."
"Okay, Senior Sister." Xiao Mo nodded and looked at Ruxue, "Ruxue, I'm going to class."
"Yeah, come back early." Bai Rushue looked a little worried.
Xiao Mo rubbed Bai Rushue's head and followed Shang Jiuli up the mountain.
Bai Ruxue watched Xiao Mo and Shang Jiuli slowly climb the mountain, and her heart became more and more uneasy.
"Or else, one day when Xiao Mo isn't paying attention, I'll sink Shang Jiuli into the sea?" After the two left, Bai Ruxue's eyes turned and she thought to herself.
But soon, Bai Ruxue shook her head: "No, no, if Xiao Mo knew, he would hate me!"
"But what should I do? Shang Jiuli is also very good-looking, and he seems to take good care of Xiao Mo. We will go to school together in the future. What if they fall in love with each other?"
The more she thought about it, the more worried Bai Ruxue became. She pursed her lips tightly, her hands clasped together, and she even imagined the scene of Xiao Mo abandoning her and marrying Shang Jiuli.
“What should I do?”
"Sister, do you know where Mr. Wang lives?"
On the way to the top of the mountain, Xiao Mo asked Shang Jiuli.
Shang Jiuli looked at Xiao Mo with ill intent: "What's the matter? Did you make Mr. Wang very angry yesterday? Are you unhappy? Do you want to piss him off again?"
Xiao Mo smiled and said, "No, I just want to come and apologize."
Shang Jiuli glanced at Xiao Mo and asked, "Do you think you are wrong?"
"Regarding yesterday's debate, I don't think I was wrong, but I was indeed rude yesterday," Xiao Mo explained.
"Mr. Wang has returned to the Confucian Academy." Shang Jiuli said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Wang is not angry. On the contrary, he asked me to tell you that this road ahead of you will not be easy. Take care of yourself."
"." Xiao Mo fell silent after listening to the words that Mr. Wang asked his senior sister to convey.
After a long while, Xiao Mo nodded: "I understand."
Not long after, the two reached the top of Yumo Peak.
The cold-faced senior brother - Senior Brother Luo was already waiting in the courtyard.
After Xiao Mo saluted his teacher and senior brothers, he began the class.
Xiao Mo discovered that Mr. Qi’s way of teaching him and his senior brothers and sisters was different.
Mr. Qi was rather strict with Senior Brother Luo and often asked him to copy books.
When teaching Senior Sister Shang, Mr. Qi treated her like his own granddaughter, presenting some of the great principles of Confucian sages in the form of stories.
When it comes to himself, Mr. Qi uses the method of debate.
Xiao Mo was often dragged into debates by Mr. Qi, especially when he asked Xiao Mo to debate with him based on the concept of "unity of knowledge and action".
Every time, Xiao Mo was left speechless and returned home defeated.
After losing the debate, Mr. Qi asked Xiao Mo to continue studying and thinking, and to continue debating with him when he had thought things through a little more clearly.
After every debate with Mr. Qi, Xiao Mo would make a lot of progress and have a deeper understanding of Mr. Yangming's philosophy of mind in his previous life.
There were also many times when Xiao Mo doubted his life and suspected that his understanding was wrong.
But Xiao Mo was holding his breath in his heart, with a tenacity that refused to admit defeat.
He read more and more books, not only those of Confucian sages, but also works of various philosophers.
He thinks about Mr. Yangming's philosophy of mind every day.
Sometimes, Xiao Mo would even sit on a stone and stare at a bamboo in a daze, just like Mr. Yangming.
"That's all for today's class. Go back and rest."
Two months later, one day, after midnight, Mr. Qi finished his classes for the day.
The three of them stood up, bowed, and walked out of the courtyard.
As usual, as soon as the class ended, Brother Luo flew down the mountain. No one knew what he was going to do.
Shang Jiuli usually goes back to the yard to have a good rest.
But today, Xiao Mo called Shang Jiuli.
"Oh, that's strange. Junior brother, you're not going to see the bamboo today?" Shang Jiuli joked.
Every time Xiao Mo was severely criticized by his teacher, he would go to the bamboo forest and stare blankly.
"Sister, please stop teasing me." Xiao Mo smiled and shook his head. "I have something I want to ask you, Senior Sister. Are you free?"
"Oh? Tell me about it." Shang Jiuli's eyes flashed with interest.
"It's like this." Xiao Mo told his story.
After listening, Shang Jiuli nodded and said, "Of course, but Senior Sister needs to complete the lessons assigned by the teacher during the day. How about this? Starting today, you will come to my courtyard every night."
“Is this not good?”
"Why not?" Shang Jiuli said with a smile, "There's no one else on Yumo Peak."
"But."
"It is decided."
Shang Jiuli interrupted Xiao Mo.
She put her hands behind her back, bent down, looked up at Xiao Mo from below, and spoke in a delicate and seductive tone.
"Sister will be waiting for you tonight.
But you must come secretly.
Don't let your little Qingmei find out~"
