Chapter 7 Why are you back?

Father Shen waved his hand and said cheerfully:

"Oh... isn't this thing over long ago? Besides, you have the perspective of a scholar. This is what we martial practitioners want. You see her many shortcomings, but in my case they are all advantages. I am happy. It’s not too late yet! Just leave it to me, maybe you can become a general commanding thousands of troops in the future! Hahahaha..."

Father Xie glanced at Xie Yuan, his face turned red with embarrassment, and he whispered:

"It doesn't have to be so powerful. As long as you are able to protect yourself when you encounter danger."

"It's easy...it's easy...hahaha..." Father Shen smiled happily.

Xie's father looked at Xie Yuan and said, "A Yuan, it was you who was at fault yesterday. You and Liu Zhen were both at fault. From now on, you two should study hard and stop fighting. Do you understand?"

Although Xie Yuan was not convinced, he thought of his mother's words to give him some mercy, so he reluctantly said:

"It was my fault yesterday. I shouldn't have pushed you."

Shen Liuzhen smiled and just opened his mouth, but before the words came out, Father Shen said with angry eyes: "...What kind of thing does this need to be apologized for? Leave him alone!! Just push him and cry, it's not enough for me. Shameful!"

Shen Liuzhen's expression suddenly changed, and he immediately shut up, turned half of his body, and looked forward, without any desire to speak.

When Father Xie saw that the two father and son were fighting again, he quickly said: "...Now that this matter is over, let's talk about the class. What do you think, Brother Shen?"

"Oh, please bear with me, Brother Xie. I have official duties, and the time is not up to me. Fortunately, the most important thing in practicing martial arts is to practice diligently and be able to endure hardships. I think as long as I am at home, I can teach Xie Yuan more. , let him digest the rest of the time. Usually, Brother Xie will send someone to supervise and supervise more, so as not to let him be lazy."

When Father Xie heard this, he pointed at Shen Liuzhen and said, "That's good. Let these two children supervise each other. It happens that both children are in the same class. When they went to your place, they were both together."

"Okay, that's just right. It just so happens that my kid can follow suit and practice a little bit." Father Shen said happily, very satisfied with this plan.

Shen Liuzhen raised his eyes, looked at Xie Yuan next to him, then at his father, his lips moved, he hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.

"Then let's start from tomorrow." Father Xie said, "The rules of the Xie family are that they usually go to school at the right time, and the children should read and recite early. After breakfast, they will explain the words and explain them in detail. meaning in the text.

In the afternoon, I mainly focus on practicing calligraphy and copying books. During this period, whenever Brother Shen has time, I will let them come over and the writing class can be postponed later."

"Very good. In this case, get up an hour early every day and go running with me to practice your legs before your children go to school."

When Shen Liuzhen heard this, his eyelids couldn't stop twitching. He turned around and looked at Xie Yuan's expression quietly.

As a result, a feeling of high morale could be seen on his face, and he obviously had no objection.

Sigh... He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Before leaving, Xie's father asked Shen Liuzhen what he had learned and how many words he knew. Then he gave him a copy of the Analects and said:

"This is a transcript that I hand-copied, and there are annotations written by me on it. You can take it back and have a look. If you don't understand anything, come to me at any time."

Shen Liuzhen held the book, looked at the beautiful handwriting on it, and smelled the special aroma of the book in his nose. He immediately forgot his dissatisfaction and sorrow just now, and smiled so brightly that his dimples became pits:

"Thank you, teacher."

He thanked her loudly, turned around and followed Father Shen out the door.

When he happily walked to the door of Xie's house with the book in his hands, he remembered the big event that he had just been worried about and painful about.

So he said to Father Shen:

"Dad... I don't know two characters. I'm going to ask the teacher how to read them."

After saying that, before Father Shen could agree, he ran back.

Before Shen Liuzhen entered the door, he looked to see that his father had not followed him, and he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.

"Liuzhen, why are you back again? What happened?" Father Xie asked kindly.

Shen Liuzhen glanced at Xie Yuan, who was standing next to Xie's father, and said pitifully: "Teacher, I only like reading and don't like practicing martial arts. Can you tell my father to stop me from getting up early to go for a run? I want to Leave more time to study."

He paused and added: "If I told my father directly, he would definitely not agree and would beat me up."

Father Xie sighed and said patiently:

"Studying essays is not just about reading. A gentleman has six arts. Do you know which ones they are?"

Shen Liuzhen shook his head honestly.

"The six arts of a gentleman are 'ritual, music, archery, imperial control, calligraphy, and number'. Among them, 'shooting' and 'imperial' refer to drawing a bow, archery, and riding a horse. If you don't have basic training, you are too weak, and How can you draw a stiff bow?"

Shen Liuzhen opened his big innocent eyes and asked pleadingly: "Do I have to learn it?"

Father Xie put his hands on his knees and said solemnly:

"If you want to be a student of the Xie family, you must learn." He paused, "Besides, the current situation is turbulent, the world is difficult, and many man-made tragedies occasionally happen. If you can practice martial arts, you will have the power to protect yourself at critical moments. Are you happy but not doing it?...A Yuan is already learning, so what reason do you have for not learning?"

Shen Liuzhen felt that Father Xie's last sentence was really flawed. What did he mean by "A Yuan is already learning, what reason does he have for not learning?"

He glanced at Xie Yuan, who was standing aside, and Xie Yuan gave him a look of disgust and disgust, as if he was quite unhappy.

He silently withdrew his gaze.

But except for this sentence, he really couldn't think of anything else to refute, so he resigned and prepared to leave.

Just when he was about to step out of the threshold, he suddenly remembered something, his eyes lit up, and he glanced back at Father Xie, who was a little thin with broad sleeves and a broad belt, and couldn't help but ask doubtfully:

"Teacher...can you also ride a horse and shoot an arrow? It doesn't look like it."

When Father Xie heard this, he coughed twice in embarrassment, picked up the book on the side as a cover, and said:

"It's definitely possible, but there's a difference between being good at it and being good at it. It's naturally far behind your father...so you have to study hard."

When Shen Liuzhen heard this, he seemed to have grasped some kind of life-saving straw. He smiled so much that the dimples on both sides seemed to be filled with honey. After saying "yes", he left happily.

"Dad, Shen Liuzhen has a bad character." Xie Yuan complained to his father in a clear and childish voice.

Father Xie was unhappy when he saw it, but he still asked patiently: "Why?"

"He deliberately behaved badly and asked my mother to beat me." Xie Yuan pouted angrily and said with a pair of slender red phoenix eyes, and the corners of his eyes almost bulged.

Father Xie threw the book and sneered, and said angrily: "The evil one complains first! If you had not pushed him, your mother would not have beaten you no matter what he said! ... When someone makes a mistake, correct yourself first!"

Xie Yuan lowered his head and became silent again.
