In the dilapidated courtyard, her mother was weaving straw sandals, and Liu Xiu felt sad.
"My son is here!"
Mother said.
"Mother, let me help you!" Liu Xiu stepped forward to help her mother with her work.
"My son wants to study and be filial and honest. How can he dare to do such a vulgar thing!" The mother refused: "My son should go to study. Only by studying can we honor our ancestors!"
Liu Xiu was stunned. He wanted to say something, but was speechless and could only turn around and leave.
When I arrived in the west room, there were bundles of bamboo slips, stacked neatly, as high as a person. These were left by my father and where my mother was proud. The ancestors of the Liu family were scholars and had been high officials. Now they have declined, but the pride is still there.
.
Due to the need to make a living, her mother often made straw sandals and mats, but she would not let Liu Bei do it. She said, "My son is a scholar. He wants to promote filial piety and honesty. It is not despicable to become an official."
Cai Lun invented papermaking technology, but the quality of the paper was poor, and bamboo slips and silk books were still the main ones.
Reading is not easy, and people who have no foundation cannot read.
Looking through the bamboo slips, I found that the desk-sized bamboo slips only contained less than 300 words, and there were no punctuation marks, so it was difficult to segment sentences. The bamboo slips in the room seemed to be numerous, but in fact there were not many words. Looking through the bamboo slips, Liu Xiu's expression changed several times.
This world is the mythical Three Kingdoms.
There are warriors who can charge thousands of armies, and there are scribes who can call the wind and rain, but the people's livelihood is still backward. Bamboo slips are used as books, and the people have no food to eat, and the people's livelihood is difficult.
The Yellow Turban Army has not yet rebelled, Cao Cao is still a brat, Dong Zhuo is pretending to be a turtle, the Han Dynasty is still extremely powerful, the world is still peaceful, the world is still harmonious, and there is no sign of chaos.
"Historically, Liu Bei was born in Zhuo County, Youzhou. He was a scumbag when he was young. He fought against the Yellow Turbans when he was young and got a minor official. He was unable to get a high position or a low position. As for the crusade against Dong Zhuo, he went to increase his presence, but he was just a sidekick. Later,
Continuously losing battles, constantly running away, and constantly relying on others will achieve nothing."
"At the age of 46, I met Zhuge Liang and started to make a fortune. He occupied Jingzhou, Bashu, and Hanzhong, and lived in a corner. Zhuge Liang was extremely talented, but in the end he was defeated by the general trend of the world and was unable to recover. Later Shu was destroyed!"
Liu Xiu sighed in his heart.
Liu Bei's life was simply a life of suffering and failure. Compared with Han Gaozu, Emperor Guangwu, etc., he was far inferior.
The mission of the main temple is [proclaim emperor]. As long as Liu Bei follows his life trajectory, he will definitely become emperor in the future and will definitely succeed. However, he is unwilling to do so. Unwilling to do so, he proclaims himself emperor at the age of sixty-one and then defeats Baidi City.
Reluctantly, Liu Xiu thought about the future.
…………
As time passed, Liu Xiu flipped through the bamboo slips, which he knew by heart.
A few days later, his uncle Liu Yuanqi came to his home and said to his mother: "Xuande has grown up, and it is not appropriate to stay at home. It is better to study abroad!"
"Listen to uncle in everything!" Mother said.
Liu Yuanqi said: "Lu Zhi, the prefect of Jiujiang, returned to Zhuo County due to illness and opened a private school. He just happened to go to seek advice!"
"The family is poor and has no money for Xuande to study!" his mother said anxiously.
"I am responsible for Shu Xiu!" Liu Yuanqi said.
"Thank you uncle!" the mother said gratefully. How could her son not study when he grew up? After all, her knowledge was limited and she was not as good as those great scholars, so she happened to have Lu Zhi as her teacher!
Liu Xiu felt grateful in her heart. She was so lucky to have a good uncle.
If you can worship Lu Zhi as your teacher, it is equivalent to having a backer. Even if Lu Zhi is idle at home, his future is boundless.
In the Han Dynasty, there was no imperial examination. If you wanted to become an official, you had to rely on being filial and honest.
If you want to promote filial piety and honesty, you must not only be talented and knowledgeable, but also have the qualifications. If you don’t have the qualifications, no one will “exercise” you. If you can become a disciple of Lu Zhi and raise your own status, then you will be a disciple of the Lu family.
The sign with nuggets of gold is actually made of pure gold.
Liu Bei agreed to his uncle's proposal.
Prepare gifts and go to Lu Zhi's Mansion to pay a visit.
At the door, Liu Yuanqi handed over the note, and the disciple went in to inform him. After a while, the disciple came out and said, "My master is waiting for you in the main hall."
Liu Yuanqi lured Liu Bei, and Liu Deran entered the door and ran to the middle hall.
The Lu Mansion is simple and simple, and it is hard to imagine that it is the home of a county governor. Entering the central hall, there is a person sitting at the banquet. He has a tall figure, a majestic appearance, and is sitting upright.
Liu Yuanqi stepped forward and saluted, saying: "Liu Yuanqi, the chief administrator of Zhuo County, pays homage to Duke Lu."
Lu Zhi stood up and returned the courtesy, saying: "Lu left his post and returned to his hometown. He is already a white man, so there is no need to be more polite."
Liu Yuanqi said respectfully: "Gong Lu is a great Confucian of his time and a role model for scholars. Although he is not in the court, how dare Yuan Qi forget his etiquette."
Lu Zhi offered to sit down, but Liu Yuanqi humbly gave in again and again, and then sat down. Lu Zhi said, "Why are you teaching me now?"
"My son Liu Deran and nephew Liu Bei want to become Duke Lu's disciples. I wonder if they can accept them?"
Lu Zhi smiled and said: "I open a private school. I want to learn from Confucius. There is no distinction between teachings. As long as you submit to Shuxiu, you can start to attend classes. How much you can understand depends on your own luck! However, I mainly focus on preaching the classics and discussing Taoism.
Without the historical background, it is difficult to understand its meaning."
"Hurry and meet sir!" Liu Yuanqi said.
Immediately, Liu Xiu and Liu Deran knelt down on the ground and performed the apprenticeship ceremony.
The next day, Liu Xiu and his cousin Liu Deran went to the backyard of Lu Mansion. In the vast backyard, they stood in the open air. Lu Zhi sat there and explained "Shang Shu".
Lu Zhi was very famous, and many students came to listen to Lu Zhi's lectures. There were a large number of people, hundreds of them, who came to listen to Lu Zhi's lectures.
Here, I met Gongsun Zan, Jian Yong and others.
Most students come here because they are not really eager to learn, but have limited intelligence and limited patience. They are still interested in the first few days, but gradually lose interest and stop coming; or some people continue to attend the lectures and spend three days fishing and two days drying nets.
, just to fool the teacher. Lu Zhi didn’t point it out. If he liked what he heard, he would stay, and if he didn’t like what he heard, he would leave.
Liu Deran was impatient and started skipping classes after a few days.
Gongsun Zan also skipped school after studying for a few days.
Liu Xiu still listened patiently and tirelessly.
In the Eastern Han Dynasty, fighting for one's father was the era. If one's father had a background, it didn't matter if he was playful and absent from school. But if he didn't have a father to fight for, then he should study hard.
Historically, Liu Bei didn't like reading very much. He liked dogs, horses, music, beautiful clothes, and making friends with heroes. In short, he didn't like reading, he was a scumbag, and he liked making friends with gangsters. Thanks to the chaos in the world, he could rise up, otherwise sooner or later
Go to the execution ground.
Later, Liu Bei did poorly because he was a scumbag.
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, people flock together, similar people always gather together, scholars mix with scholars, and hooligans get along with hooligans.
Liu Bei had no background and did not like reading, so he could not attract intellectuals and literati would not take refuge in him. He was doomed to lack of talents and a small future.
This time, under the arrangement of the Lord God, he naturally could not be a scumbag, but wanted to be a top student, to be filial and honest, to study in Luoyang Imperial College, and to get to know the top talents of the Han Dynasty.
However, Lu Zhi didn't like Gongsun Zan, who wore light fur, was arrogant, and spoke loudly at all times. He also didn't like Liu Deran, who liked music, wore fine clothes, and made friends. On the contrary, he was very fond of the simple and humble Liu Xiu. He often said: "
Children can be taught."
In class, Liu Xiu never behaved actively. If he exposed the knowledge of his past life two thousand years later and his experience as a tutor in the Wuhu world, he might be regarded as a monster. How did Bruno die?
Even so, Lu Zhi was amazed by the occasional flash of wisdom.
