Lin Chang knocked on the table and said, "Today we will talk about the Three Character Classic. Those who have never heard of it carefully listened to it, and those who have heard of it have learned the new."
"Yes, sir."
The friends put down their books and sat upright. Luo Xin's expression also became serious. To be honest, he admired Lin Chang very much. The last time he was able to speak the Hundred Family Names so vividly made him look forward to the Three Character Classic.
Sure enough, Lin Chang explained the story contained in the Three Character Classics extremely vividly, which made Luo Xin intoxicated and regretted that the morning time passed too quickly, and that the Three Character Classics had just been halfway through and then the school was over.
The second day.
When Lin Chang saw Luo Xin writing down the Three Character Classic word-by-word, his face was calm, but his heart was full of hesitation. Logically speaking, Luo Xin could have 80% removed the suspicion of lying when he showed this level. As long as he could still perform this level in the next Thousand Character Classic study, Lin Chang could be completely sure that Luo Xin was not lying.
but……
Just today he discovered another problem, that is, Luo Xin's words have improved too quickly. Not only are they written in a normal manner, but they have already shown a trend of becoming a small success. How could an eight-year-old child write such words?
It’s not that there are eight-year-old children who write characters like Luo Xin. For example, when Zhang Xun was eight years old, his handwriting was not as good as Luo Xin, but he was almost the same. But Zhang Xun’s father was an old scholar and had copybooks at home. Does Luo Xin’s family have one?
If you don’t have copying a copybook, how could you write such words?
In ancient times, not many people have copybooks. A copybook is often treasured by literati and is of great value. How could a family like Luo Xin have copybooks?
Could it be Luo Zhi?
Thinking of this, Lin Chang hesitated again, and he was not sure whether Luo Xin was lying before. He is now fifty-three years old and has completely given up on the scientific examination. If Luo Xin was really a prodigy, he would feel like he was a treasure. When Luo Xin became famous all over the world in the future, his enlightenment teacher would also become famous all over the world. However, if Luo Xin had problems with his moral character, he would also be ashamed as an enlightenment teacher.
After pondering for a moment, he asked, "How long have you been practicing calligraphy?"
"Mr. Hui, I started practicing calligraphy before the New Year."
"Start to practice calligraphy before the New Year?"
Lin Chang's face darkened. Even Luo Xin was practicing calligraphy during the Chinese New Year... Okay, if you think a little bit further, then you will only practice calligraphy for a month at most, right? Can you write such words?
"Your uncle teaches you how to practice calligraphy?"
"No, I'm practicing calligraphy myself."
"You yourself?" Lin Chang's mood became worse again, and his original view on Luo Xin's change was not good again.
"Yes, I copied it according to the copybook."
Lin Chang's eyes narrowed: "Where did you get the copybook?"
"It was given by a family in the county."
Lin Chang was stunned. He was able to give Luo Xin a copybook to explain two things. One is that the family is not simple, either rich or noble, or may be both rich and noble. The second is that Luo Xin is indeed appreciated by that family.
Did you be wrong again?
He is really a prodigy?
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Chang did not ask the family why he gave him a copybook, and no longer confused about why Luo Xin's handwriting was written in a decent manner. He already had a solution, that is, to continue to observe Luo Xin's handwriting. Since he could write the handwriting to such a level within a month, then giving him another month, he should make great progress. If there is no progress, it is Luo Xin lying.
Luo Xin's life has entered the rules. He got up every morning to practice martial arts with his elder brother. However, his elder brother practiced Guandao, and he practiced Tai Chi and Wudang Seven-Star Sword. Although he practiced boxing in moderation, he had a strong understanding of weapons. This is also because he practiced Guandao since he was a child, so his Tai Chi was very average, but Wudang Seven-Star Sword was practiced at a certain level.
The reason why he has to practice the Seven-Star Sword of Wudang every morning is that just practicing Tai Chi cannot achieve the effect of his exercise. After all, this body has been practicing martial arts since childhood and is very strong.
After practicing martial arts, he went to class. Now he had finished learning the Thousand Characters of the Book. He could still recite one day, memorize two days, and write dictation in three days. When he got home in the afternoon, he began to copy the poems and articles in his memory, and the manuscripts in the box began to gradually become thicker. However, Luo Xin also began to worry because the paper was about to be used up. At that time, the paper was very expensive. This knife piece cost five hundred coins, which made Luo Xin get five hundred coins?
I packed up and went to bed with a little depressed depression. I looked at my elder brother who was already sleeping soundly, and felt a little envious. Living simply is also a kind of happiness.
The next morning, Luo Xin still came to the school with a bookcase after practicing Tai Chi and Wudang Seven-Star Sword. At this time, no one mentioned the issue of Luo Xin's morality anymore, but the village neighbors who were still a little jealous still mentioned a few words from time to time. However, Luo Xin still adopted an indisputable attitude, which made Lin Chang, who had changed his views, admire him more.
Lin Chang had already fully believed in Luo Xin's character at this time. An eight-year-old child would not have been a prodigy, but could not have written down the Hundred Family Names, Three Character Classics, and Thousand Characters. Moreover, he had clearly seen Luo Xin's words in the past few days, which made him ecstatic. When school was over noon, Lin Chang kept Luo Xin. Looking at Luo Xin standing in front of him, Lin Chang became more and more satisfied with his opinion of Luo Xin and completely forgot his original doubts.
"Luo Xin, are you willing to be my disciple?"
Luo Xinwen was delighted when he heard this. He was still full of respect for Lin Chang. It was not only because Lin Chang's lecture was good, but most importantly, he admired Lin Chang's character very much.
He knew that Lin Chang had doubted him from the beginning, and that Lin Chang had once hated him, and he could feel it. However, Lin Chang had never shown it, and just evaluated him one by one to prove his judgment. Before he made the judgment, he never made his guesses to him. This kind of dignified character made Luo Xin deeply yearn for and admire him. Compared with Lin Chang, his uncle's character is much worse. Easily proclaiming his guesses to him, causing Luo Xin a lot of trouble.
Such a noble character wants to be his master. Luo Xin did not hesitate at all, and immediately bowed deeply and kowtowed respectfully.
Lin Chang Zhanyan smiled and said, "When you go back, tell your mother that you don't want to be a teacher, and you also know your family background."
"Yes!" Luo Xin replied respectfully.
"From tomorrow, you can come to my house for an hour in the afternoon."
"Yes!" Luo Xin was delighted. He wanted to give him a small treat!
"You go back."
"The student leaves."
