"I have a Thousand-Character Classic here. You take it first and read it with me." Master Wen took out a Thousand-Character Classic from the bookshelf behind him and handed it to Gu Chengyu.
"The phoenix sings in the bamboo, Baiju Food Court. It turns into vegetation and spreads to all directions." Master Wen's deep and gentle voice sounded in the study, followed by a child's voice. There were flowers blooming in the small yard behind the house, and there were
Butterflies were flying, and a girl was hiding among the flowers. No matter how anxiously a maid outside looked for her, she just covered her mouth and remained motionless.
"Girl? Girl? Come out quickly and stop playing hide-and-seek with the slaves! If the master finds out that you are in the front yard, Xiao Cui will be punished!" Xiao Cui said in a low voice for a long time, but the girl was nowhere to be seen.
I had no choice but to stomp my feet and continue looking to the right.
The girl hiding behind the flowers breathed a sigh of relief. She also knew that Xiao Cui and her mother would be anxious if they couldn't find her, but she stayed in the backyard every day and was really bored! Only Xiao Cui could play with her in the whole family.
Son, but Xiaocui has to do things, so it’s impossible to play with her all the time! In addition to practicing calligraphy every day, she also learns embroidery from her mother. She really wants to go outside, even to the front yard.
Every day she heard noises coming from the front yard, and she was very curious. She didn't know if there were people as old as her who went to school. The happiest thing about staying in the backyard was when her father came back from school and told her mother that he was there during the day.
She listened with interest every time what happened in the private school.
The girl squatted for a while, looked in the direction of the front yard, pressed her numb legs, hesitated for a moment, and decided to go back to the backyard. If she didn't go back, her mother would definitely be anxious.
Just as she was about to stand up, she heard voices coming from the study. One of the deep voices was her father. Then a boy's voice sounded. The two seemed to be talking, but they were a little far away.
The content of the conversation was inaudible.
Behind the flowers is the study room in the front yard. Looking out the window of the study, you can clearly see the flowers in the small yard. The girl's curiosity aroused and she tiptoed to the window, but she heard the two people saying this.
The conversation stopped for a while.
The girl was a little disappointed and was about to open the window to take a look. At this moment, she remembered a sound in the study. She quietly leaned against the edge of the window, tiptoed, and could only reveal half of her head. She glanced around the study and saw him.
Dad was sitting on an armchair in front of the desk, reading the Thousand-Character Essay. He looked to the left and saw a child beside the desk, wearing a green trousers made of fine cotton. When she looked up and saw his face, the girl was startled.
!
Master Wen first read all the eight sentences twice, then looked at Gu Chengyu and hesitated for a moment, "I taught more than these eight sentences yesterday, so I will teach more today and memorize them together. Do you remember?"
"The students have already memorized the first few sentences. Master, just keep teaching them. If they forget later, the students will ask the seniors in Class C for help." In fact, he only memorizes a few sentences every day, which doesn't take up his time at all. This progress is too fast.
Slowly, the only thing he can't keep up with right now is his handwriting. However, it's true that his handwriting isn't bad at all, it's just lacking.
"You only remembered it after reading it twice? Then recite it to me." Master Wen glanced at Gu Chengyu with doubtful eyes.
"Yes!" So Gu Chengyu recited the few sentences he just read again.
Master Wen stood up from his armchair in shock and said, "Do you still have a photographic memory?"
"Students still can't talk about photographic memory. However, as long as they read it carefully, no more than twice, students can remember it. As for whether they will forget it if they don't review it in the future, this student has never tried it!
"
"This is also a rare memory." Master Wen said with a sigh. Then he took a few steps in the study, "Then, no matter how long the article is, you can remember it after reading it once or twice?"
"Yes!" Gu Chengyu responded. When he raised his eyes, he saw a little girl standing on the edge of the window. The little girl only showed the upper half of her face. Her hair was combed and tied with a pink headband.
He could vaguely see an apple-shaped face, with big and lively eyes, and was pretty and cute. Gu Chengyu felt very surprised. Are there female students in the private school? Then he thought, no, the private school is a second-level building, and there might be a room behind it.
In the inner courtyard, this should be the female family member of Master Wen's family. He saw the girl staring at him without blinking. Gu Chengyu smiled at her and then turned sideways. Although a little boy like him was not old enough to guard against men and women at all.
, but it’s not okay to stare at other people’s women like this? It doesn’t have to make people feel frivolous.
Master Wen sighed, this boy does have the ability to be arrogant. If he had such ability when he was young, he would have become even more arrogant!
"Although you have such ability, learning is not just about memorizing, there are still many things to learn in the future! It's better not to bite off more than you can chew, so it's better not to learn too fast!" Master Wen has already planned to give Gu Chengyu's academic progress in the future.
Hurry up, this kid can't be judged by common sense. Then he thought, is his private school going to produce a child prodigy?
Master Wen touched the beard on his chin, turned around, and wanted to sit down again. But who knew, he saw the little girl leaning on the window edge at a glance, and couldn't help but stare at the girl's eyes. This girl is too ignorant.
Yes! Is the front yard a place where she can come?
When the girl saw that her father had discovered her, she immediately put down her tiptoes, ducked, and returned to the backyard along the same route.
"Girl, where have you been? I've searched all over the place, but if I can't find you, I'm going to tell my wife!" Xiaocui was really anxious. The girl usually liked to hide and seek with her, but she didn't.
I've been hiding for so long.
"Okay Xiaocui, don't tell mother! I'm here, aren't I?" The girl pulled Xiaocui's clothes and motioned for her to leave quickly. But she kept thinking about the boy who was about the same age as her just now. He looked really good.
So good-looking! She has never seen such a good-looking person before!
Master Wen turned his head to look at Gu Chengyu and found that Gu Chengyu was not looking towards the window. He thought that Gu Chengyu hadn't noticed yet, so he started reading again. "Ahem! Follow me and read a few more sentences."
By the time Gu Chengyu returned to Class C, a moment had passed. Under the attention of the students in Class C, Gu Chengyu calmly sat in front of the desk.
As soon as he sat down, he heard Wang Qikai calling him from behind, "Chengyu? Why did Master ask you to go to the study?"
Wang Qikai saw that Gu Chengyu didn't look like he had been punished, so he was curious about the reason why the master called him over.
"It's nothing! It's just that Master asked me to memorize more books!" Gu Chengyu looked at Wang Qikai in amusement as he was still blowing on the slapped palm.
"Ah? Why are you so pitiful? It's already difficult to learn so much!" At this time, Wang Qikai suddenly felt that Gu Chengyu was so pitiful. Compared with the slap on the hand, Gu Chengyu's punishment was obviously more severe.
