Lin Chang knocked on the table and said, "Today we will talk about the Three Character Scripture, listen carefully to those who have not heard it, and learn the new from the past that we have heard." ”
"Yes, sir."
A group of friends put down the books in their hands and sat upright. Luo Xin's expression also became serious. To be honest, he admired Lin Chang very much, and he was able to tell the surnames of the hundred families so vividly last time, which made him full of expectations for the Three Character Classic.
Sure enough, Lin Chang explained the story contained in the Three Character Sutra very vividly, which made Luo Xin fascinated by it, and he only hated that the time in the morning passed too quickly, and the Three Character Sutra was only halfway through before leaving school.
Day 2.
When Lin Chang saw Luo Xin silently write down the three-character scripture word for word, although his face was calm, his heart was full of hesitation. It stands to reason that Luo Xin's performance to this extent can already remove eighty percent of his suspicion of lying, as long as he can still perform at such a level in the next disciple rule study, Lin Chang can be completely sure that Luo Xin is not lying.
But......
Just today, he found another problem, that is, Luo Xin's words have improved too quickly. It's not just that it's written decently, there's already a trend of a small realm. How could an eight-year-old write such words?
It's not that there are no eight-year-old children who write words like Luo Xin, for example, when Zhang Xun was eight years old, although his writing was not as good as Luo Xin's, it was almost the same. But Zhang Xun's father is an old showman, and he has a calligraphy at home. Does the Luo Xinjia have it?
If there is no copying, how can such words be written?
In ancient times, not everyone had a copybook, a copybook was often treasured by the literati, and it was worth a lot of money, how could a family like Luo Xin have a copybook?
Could it be Luo Zhi?
Thinking like this, Lin Chang's heart hesitated again, and he was once again unable to determine whether Luo Xin was lying before. He is now fifty-three years old, and he has completely given up on scientific research, if Luo Xin is really a prodigy, he will be like a treasure. When Luo Xin will become famous all over the world in the future, he will also be famous as an enlightenment teacher. However, if there is a problem with Luo Xin's character, he will also be disgraced as an enlightenment teacher.
After a long pause, he asked, "How long have you been learning calligraphy?" ”
"Mr. Hui, I started to learn calligraphy a few years ago."
"Started learning calligraphy years ago?"
Lin Chang's face sank, even Luo Xin was learning calligraphy during the New Year...... Well, if you go a little further, then you can learn calligraphy for a month at most, right? To be able to write such words?
"Your uncle taught you how to learn words?"
"No, I learned the characters myself."
"Yourself?" Lin Chang's mood became bad again, and his original opinion of Luo Xin's change was bad again.
"Yes, copy it yourself."
Lin Chang's eyes froze: "Where did you get the copybook?" ”
"It was given by a family in the county seat."
Lin Chang was stunned, and being able to give Luo Xin a copy of the notebook explained two things, one is that the family is not simple, it is either rich or expensive, and it may be both rich and expensive. The second thing is that Luo Xin does have a place that is appreciated by that family.
Am I wrong again?
Is he really a child prodigy?
His expression hesitated, Lin Chang didn't ask why the family gave him the calligraphy, and he no longer bothered about why Luo Xin's words were written decently, he already had a way, that is, to continue to observe Luo Xin's words. Since he was able to write to such an extent in a month, giving him another month should make a big improvement. If there is no progress, it is Roxin lying.
Luo Xin's life has entered the law, and he gets up every morning to practice martial arts with his eldest brother, but the eldest brother practices Guan Dao, while he practices Tai Chi and Wudang Seven Star Sword. Although he is average in boxing, he has a strong understanding of weapons. This is also the reason why he has practiced Guan Dao since he was a child, so his Tai Chi practice is very average, but Wudang Seven Star Sword is practiced to a certain level.
The reason why he still has to practice Wudang Seven Star Sword every morning is because just practicing Tai Chi can't achieve the effect of his exercise at all, after all, this body has also practiced martial arts since childhood, and it is very strong.
After practicing martial arts, he went to class, and now his disciple rules and thousand-character texts have been learned. It is still possible to recite in one day, memorize in two days, and write silently in three days. When he came home in the afternoon, he began to transcribe the poems and articles in his memory, and the manuscripts in the box began to thicken gradually. However, Luo Xin also began to worry, because the paper was about to run out, and the paper at that time was very expensive, and this knife paper cost five hundred copper coins, so where did Luo Xin get five hundred copper coins?
A little depressed, he packed up and went to sleep on the kang, and glanced at the eldest brother who was already asleep, and felt a little envious in his heart. Living a simple life is also a kind of happiness.
The next morning, after Luo Xin still finished practicing Taijiquan and Wudang Seven Star Sword, he came to the school with a bookcase on his back. At this time, basically no one raised the question of Luo Xin's character anymore, but the village neighbors who were still a little jealous still mentioned a few words from time to time. But Luo Xin still took an indisputable attitude, which made Lin Chang, who had changed his opinion, appreciate him even more.
Lin Chang had completely believed in Luo Xin's character at this time, and if an eight-year-old boy was not a prodigy, it was impossible for him to write down the surnames of the hundred families, the three-character scripture, the disciple rules and the thousand-character text. And in the past few days, he clearly saw that Luo Xin's words had made great progress, which made him ecstatic, and when school was out at noon, Lin Chang left Luo Xin behind. Looking at Luo Xin standing in front of him, Lin Chang became more and more satisfied, completely forgetting his suspicion of Luo Xin at the beginning.
"Luo Xin, are you willing to be my disciple?"
Luo Xin was overjoyed when he heard this, and he was still full of respect for Lin Chang. Not only because of Lin Chang's good explanation, but most importantly, he admires Lin Chang's character very much.
He knew that Lin Chang had been suspicious of him from the beginning, and Lin Chang had also disliked him in his heart, and he could feel it. But Lin Chang never showed it, and just assessed him one by one to prove his judgment. Before judging it, he never made his speculation public, and this kind of upright character made Luo Xin deeply yearn for and admire. Compared with Lin Chang, the uncle's personality is much worse. Easily announcing his speculation caused Luo Xin a lot of trouble.
Such a person of noble character wants to be his own master, Luo Xin did not hesitate at all, and immediately bowed deeply and kowtowed respectfully.
Lin Chang smiled and said: "Go back and tell your mother, you don't need to be a teacher, and you also know your family background as a teacher." ”
"Yes!" Luo Xin replied respectfully.
"Starting tomorrow, you will come to my house for an hour in the afternoon."
"Yes!" Luo was overjoyed, this is to open a small stove for him!
"You go back."
"The student quits."
