Chapter 2 Academics
Zhao Rong also once gave up on himself, tore up the big characters he wrote, or threw out those books, determined that he would simply break the jar and never study again. But soon, he remembered the high expectations of his parents and grandmother, and picked up the book again to overcome all the difficulties and achieve certain achievements in his studies.
You know, he has been struggling in such a cycle for the past few years. Before, only the old gentleman knew the real situation of his studies. He also occasionally comforted himself in his heart, maybe because the old gentleman is a well-known Confucian, so the gentleman's requirements are extraordinarily high. That's why I feel that he can't reach the level required by his husband no matter what, maybe he is still an ordinary situation.
At that time, he was sincerely grateful to his second brother, and at the same time, he was deeply disgusted with himself. I hate how I am so ignorant, and I feel that I am simply rotten wood that cannot be carved. Obviously, I have studied with the Confucian teacher for so many years, but I haven't learned anything, at most I am not illiterate, and I can read and write.
At that time, Zhao Rong had already made up his mind that after returning home, he must ask the great Confucian gentleman for advice. No matter how disgusted he was, no matter how contemptuous Mr. Da Confucian would look at him when he made any movement, he must overcome his timidity, he must ask Mr. Da Rong for advice, and he must make progress in his studies.
Zhao Rong didn't think about what level of study, what kind of participation in the imperial examination or anything, he only hoped that the next time he saw his second brother, he would be able to speak freely and talk to him about those things in the past. There is no need, no matter how the second brother takes care of himself, he must have scruples in his words.
But Zhao Rong never thought that Xiao Tao was talking about something now. It turned out that the second brother never felt that he was stupid, never felt that he was a rotten wood, and did not feel that he was born stupider than others and could not be educated. The second brother and the two brothers even felt that it was not their own reason, but that he was Mr. Confucian, which led to this kind of dilemma in their studies.
It seemed that at that moment, a boulder that had been pressing on Zhao Rong's heart suddenly disappeared. Zhao Rong was shocked, but he felt a lightness all over his body. For a long time, he had always thought that he was inferior to others, and the idea of being inferior to others disappeared, and it turned out that his academic problems were not just because he was stupid. It's also possible, or because of my own Confucian teacher.
Thinking of this, Zhao Rong didn't know how to describe his current mood. Should you be happy that you are not stupid as a cow, or should you be sad that even the teacher who teaches you is calculating herself.
Of course, Xiao Tao didn't know how complicated Zhao Rong's mood was at this time. He just felt that his young master's face had become even stranger after what he said just now. But fortunately, the young master's expression was not as obvious as the alternation of red and white just now, and even the whole person showed signs of collapse, and the current young master was more calm.
Although the young master didn't speak just now, he felt as if the young master's whole body and mind were not in this study, and he didn't know where he went. But now the young master can feel that he is really in front of his eyes. Even Xiao Tao could clearly see that the young master seemed to have become a little more relaxed in addition to his tangled emotions.
But Xiao Tao really has no way to experience Zhao Rong's true state of mind now, he just feels that the young master has not spoken, that is, he has listened to his own words, and he is waiting for his next explanation.
For a while, the study was quiet, and neither of Zhao Rong and Xiao Tao spoke. Zhao Rong was thinking about his own thoughts, but at this time, his heart was too complicated, and he didn't know what kind of feelings he felt.
In such a situation, of course, he can't remember to speak. As for Xiao Tao, she was completely observing Zhao Rong's reaction. The young master's excited reaction just now frightened him. So now, although he said another thing, the news from Young Master Gong is also a suspicion of his young master's situation at home.
But now he was not in a hurry to urge the young master to make any decision, but cautiously observed Zhao Rong's reaction, for fear that the young master would not accept it, and then he would almost be on the verge of collapse like just now.
Fortunately, Xiao Tao's worry this time was completely unnecessary, although Zhao Rong really had all his thoughts in his heart at this time, he didn't know what to say. But his current mood is completely different from the feeling of not believing it just now, but knowing that the truth is so tangled and divided.
He just didn't know what to say right now. But the feeling in my heart is obviously much better than what I heard Xiao Tao say just now that her parents didn't care about her.
But after a period of relief in his heart, Zhao Rong was a little incredulous, and asked Xiao Tao again: "Xiao Tao, you said that the second brother said that the reason why they think that I am so difficult in my studies is not my reason? Or is it not all my reason, is that what you just said?"
Zhao Rong really couldn't believe what Xiao Tao said just now. Could it be that I have always thought that it was because I was too stupid to make it difficult to progress academically? Isn't this because of the reason I thought it was, but because of my own Mr. Confucian?
But how did the second brother know about this matter, he had never told them too much, and there were problems about his own studies. After all, after I went out, I found that I was simply illiterate. In addition to knowing a few words, even those words are connected together, he has some problems understanding them.
Just looking at the second brother when he talked to him later, he tried to use simple words as much as possible, and would not mix some other allusions, Zhao Rong knew that the second brother must have discovered that he was not clear about the things mentioned in his words at all, so he would take care of himself. The second brother deliberately changed his habit of speaking to avoid his embarrassment.
For a long time, Zhao Rong knew that it was difficult for him to reach the standard that his teacher wanted him to achieve in his studies. After all, every time Mr. Da Confucian looked at himself, he seemed to see something unclean. Dan Fan let Mr. see himself, it was all staining his eyes.
