Chapter Forty-Six: Educating Little Stutters
Zhuge Liang's life and rest are very regular, he gets up at the end of the day, then eats and deals with some official duties brought back from the government in the evening.
After Liu Chan arrived, he taught Liu Chan half an hour of learning, and when the time was up, he went to the government to deal with official business, and did not come back until the evening.
It can be said that Zhuge Liang's time is wasted without a quarter of an hour.
Zhuge Liang explained a few words and left, and Liu Chan and Deng Ai were reading in the study.
Deng Ai worked very hard, and after Zhuge Liang left, he was still studying the essence of the "Zuo Chuan" told by Zhuge Liang before. And write his own opinions on bamboo slips, which is also his homework.
Seeing this, Liu Chan didn't move, and while it was still morning, he silently memorized the section of "Zuo Biography" left by Zhuge Liang, which is the content that Zhuge Liang will assess tomorrow.
After reciting it a few times, Liu Chan had already memorized it in his chest.
Seeing that Deng Ai was still studying, Liu Chan shook his head, knocked lightly on the table a few times, and said, "Deng Ai, stop first!" ”
Deng Ai stopped and looked at Liu Chan suspiciously.
Liu Chan looked at Deng Ai and said, "Do you want to worship Mr. as a teacher?" ”
Deng Ai's eyes lit up, and he just wanted to speak but remembered the agreement with Liu Chan, so he quickly covered his mouth, took the brush on the desk and wrote on the bamboo slip, but after a while, Deng Ai handed the bamboo slip to Liu Chan.
"I dreamed of it, but can my husband take me as an apprentice?"
Liu Chan smiled and said: "You don't have confidence in yourself, how can Mr. look down on you, you have been studying the essence of the "Zuo Chuan" explained by Mr. before, and show me the insights you wrote. ”
When Deng Ai heard this, he handed the essence of what he had written earlier to Liu Chan.
Liu Chan read it roughly, but frowned, shook his head and sighed: "The essence of what you wrote is roughly the same as what Mr. just said, and some places are just a different way of speaking." Many paragraphs could have different opinions, so why don't you write them? I don't believe that you have the same opinion on "Zuo Chuan" as Mr. ”
Don't think that ancient books like "Zuo Chuan" only have the same opinions over and over again, the ancient sages, who study it, do not know themselves, and there are even well-known scholars who make annotations for it.
For example, the great Confucian Ma Rong, Zheng Xuan, Lu Zhi and others in the Three Kingdoms era at the end of the Han Dynasty are famous for their research on these ancient books to make new annotations.
It was these people who offended Cao Cao and gave Cao Cao 10,000 guts, but they didn't dare to kill this kind of sage and Confucian.
As we all know, there are Confucian Temple and Wu Temple in later generations, the Confucian Temple is dedicated to Confucius, and there are seventy-two ancient sages to enjoy the match, and the Wu Temple is dedicated to Jiang Shang, and there are seventy-two ancient names will enjoy the match.
However, there is one person, and only one person in history, who can rank in the Temple of Literature and the Temple of Martial Arts at the same time.
This person is Du Pre!
Du Pre was the general of the Wei and Jin dynasties in the late Three Kingdoms, Deng Ai was the first hero to destroy Shu, and Du Pre was the commander-in-chief of the Annihilation of Wu.
At the same time, Du Yu is also an academic master, and the reason why he can rank in the Temple of Literature as a military general. It is because of the new annotation of "Zuo Chuan" and the noble contribution to later generations of scholars that they can enjoy the worship of the two temples of Wenwu at the same time.
In Liu Chan's view, Deng Ai's impression on Zhuge Liang is not high, and if he wants to win Zhuge Liang's favor or even accept him as an apprentice, he needs to make Zhuge Liang look at him differently.
At present, how can Deng Ai gain Zhuge Liang's appreciation, naturally there are academic exchanges with Zhuge Liang, there are contradictions, disagreements, and new insights, so there will be more intersections.
At present, Deng Ai completely listens to Zhuge Liang in his study, without the slightest opinion of his own, and the essence of his writing is exactly the same as what Zhuge Liang said. In Liu Chan's opinion, it is difficult for Deng Ai to win Zhuge Liang's favor.
Seeing Liu Chan say this, Deng Ai's face was a little embarrassed, and he wrote on the bamboo slip again.
"There are some things where I do have different opinions from my husband, but if he says so, if I refute it, won't it make him unhappy? made him hate me even more. ”
Liu Chan looked straight, looked at Deng Ai and said seriously: "Sir, he doesn't dislike you, the reason why he is strict with you is because of me." In addition, Mr. is not a narrow-minded villain, if you meet him in a blind way, it will make Mr. look down on you, write your own opinions honestly, so that Mr. will look at you differently. ”
Deng Ai lowered his head, his eyes a little tangled.
Seeing this, Liu Chan shouted in a calm voice: "Deng Ai, you can't learn real skills from Mr. like this!" ”
Deng Ai still kept his head down and didn't say a word.
Liu Chan looked at him for a while, and didn't pay attention to him.
Deng Ai is actually not very talented, and the reason why he has such a high achievement is because of his hard work, but despite this, he was only promoted by Sima Yi when he was in his forties.
At the moment, Deng Ai is only fifteen years old, except for the martial mind, there is not much to praise, and even because of stuttering, there is some inferiority.
Deng Ai's eyes were full of entanglement, on the one hand, he somewhat agreed with Liu Chan's words, and also hoped to gain Zhuge Liang's favor. But on the other hand, he was shocked by Zhuge Liang's sternness and did not dare to disobey, fearing that Zhuge Liang would be disgusted by writing the opposite argument.
After a long time, Deng Ai gritted his teeth, and finally picked up a piece of cotton cloth, dipped it in some water, and wiped it on the bamboo slip.
At this time, the papermaking technology was not yet developed, and it was very rough to write words, and most of them were recorded in bamboo slips. Cloth and silk are very expensive, so they are mainly used for correspondence or documents under the official court. Even wealthy families cannot afford to use cloth and letters for many years.
When there is a large area of error, you can wipe it with water, and if it is a little or a single error, you can scrape it off with a book knife.
Liu Chan looked at Deng Ai's movements and couldn't help but smile, he thought of the way he used film or correction fluid to modify the test paper during the exam in his previous life, which was exactly the same as Deng Ai's now.
It didn't take long for Deng Ai to clear the words on the book, and after drying the book, he carefully used a book knife to remove some of the ink left, and then began to write the essence again.
Liu Chan continued to recite on the side, and after Deng Ai finished writing, Huang Yueying also sent someone to invite Liu Chan to dinner.
"Little boy, Madame, please go to the hall for dinner, and the next person will clean it up here."
Liu Chan nodded, did not leave immediately but sorted out a few cases before leaving, since he had crossed over to the ancients, Liu Chan had to correct his attitude, his attitude was not correct, and it was empty talk to want to dominate the world.
Deng Ai is also very conscious, and he also organizes the table by himself.
Liu Chan helped Deng Ai clean up on the side, which made Deng Ai very frightened.
Originally, Deng Ai's identity was just a study boy, and he was not qualified to dine with Liu Chan, Zhao Yun and others. However, when Zhuge Liang left before, he ordered the two of them to stay and eat together, obviously telling Huang Yueying not to treat him the same way he treats his subordinates.
