Chapter XXXV. Exhortation

At this time, Gu Chengyu followed Master Wen to the study, Master Wen raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Chengyu, only to see Gu Chengyu standing aside respectfully, with a smile in his eyes, looking directly at him. In any case, he is still very optimistic about this student's concentration, as if no matter what happens, he can not be in a hurry, and rarely shows his inner thoughts on his face, such a person is indeed suitable for officialdom.

Wen Fuzi remembered the criticism his teacher gave him back then: It is easy to break if it is too rigid. When he was a young man, he was full of pride, thinking that as long as he had ambition to take revenge, with his talent, he would have a place in the court in the future. Who would have thought that the township examination after that gave him a heavy blow, and he failed again and again, and now, he has no confidence to step into the examination room again. He is in his forties this year, and the Top Gun of his youth has been worn out, and he can only rely on teaching to survive.

But he didn't want this young man to make the same mistake, who hasn't been young and frivolous! He could understand it, but he couldn't agree with it now.

"Do you know what I'm looking for you for?" After Wen Fuzi pondered it, they began their conversation.

Gu Chengyu entered the study and saw that the master seemed to be caught in a memory, and waited for a while before he heard the master's inquiry.

"The students don't know. Please also ask the master to clarify his doubts. Gu Chengyu guessed that Master Wen might be talking about the dispute with someone in the dining hall yesterday.

"I heard that you bumped into the senior brother of Class B in the canteen yesterday? But why? Wen Fuzi sat in the circle chair, and his hands on his legs were gently patting.

Gu Chengyu found that when Mr. Wen thought about or considered a sentence, he would involuntarily make some small movements.

"Back to the master, it doesn't count as a dispute. It was only because of a misunderstanding of Senior Brother He's meaning that some misunderstandings occurred. After explanation, the misunderstanding was cleared up. Gu Chengyu did not explain the process in detail, presumably these Wen Fuzi already understood, if the cause is said, it will inevitably be suspected of complaining, and it is easy for people to misunderstand that they are villains who say bad things about people behind their backs.

Wen Fuzi nodded, still satisfied with Gu Chengyu's performance, and did not take the opportunity to give others eye medicine.

"The gentleman is frank, and the villain is a relative! That's a pretty good quote. But Gu Chengyu, I don't know if you have ever heard the sentence Mu Xiu Yu Lin, the wind will destroy it? Becoming famous too early can certainly make people look at you differently, but it is easy to be burdened by fame. Wen Fuzi said earnestly.

"Wouldn't it be better to recharge your energy and make a splash in the future?" Then he made his suggestion.

Gu Chengyu had already guessed that Wen Fuzi would have such thoughts, after all, he was in the limelight more yesterday.

The students are grateful for the Master's teachings. The student dared to ask the master, the master was brilliant in the past, but now he has failed to take the township test, do you have any regrets in your heart? Gu Chengyu's words were a little disrespectful, no matter what, the township test was a sore spot for Master Wen, but now it was ruthlessly revealed by Gu Chengyu, the student he taught.

Wen Fuzi's face was slightly gloomy, and his face was still a little unbearable.

Gu Chengyu gave a quick salute and raised his eyes to glance at Master Wen. "Don't be angry, although the students have not been able to read the master's articles, but there are some families in the neighborhood who want to study in the master's private school, which shows that the master must be rich and conscientious." Gu Chengyu paused when he said this, and saw that Master Wen's face was slightly softened, so he continued.

"However, it is a pity that the Master did not meet someone who appreciated the Master." This sentence really touched the heart of Master Wen, and Master Wen's angry face had changed to gloom at this time.

"The Master is young and ambitious, and the examiners of that year must also know the Master's name and masterpieces. However, can the master know the examiner's preferences? Gu Chengyu went around in circles for a long time, first praised the master, and then resonated with the master, which led the topic to the main topic.

Wen Fuzi recalled the previous experience of taking the township examination. When he left the game in the first year, his teacher was still alive, and the teacher had persuaded him to ask someone to inquire about the examiner's preferences, but he was disdainful. It's a pity that his teacher is just a teacher who runs a small private school, and he has only taken the exam, but he is already in his old age, where is there any connections to inquire about the news? Running around for him was in vain.

After the teacher passed away, there was no one to give him ideas anymore. Looking at his former classmates, some of whom had already won the appreciation of the examiner, and then became famous, and then entered the court, he did not regret it in his heart. However, regret is useless.

"I was proud of my talents, I listened to people's praise, and because I showed some talent, for a period of time, I didn't listen to the teacher's dissuasion and didn't want to take the imperial examination, and only paid attention to the poems of the wind and snow, so I fell off the list. Doesn't that show the downside of my fame at a young age? After recalling, Wen Fuzi still thinks that it is not appropriate to show his talent too early, and he can study step by step in order to make steady progress.

"Listening to rumors, the master was famous back then, but the master only paid attention to fame back then, and of course he would be burdened by fame. Dare to ask the Master, is it not because I am gifted that the Master can take me to the study and have a long talk with me? If I were a student among all living beings, would the Master still pay so much attention to me? If you want to be famous, of course, you must do it early, otherwise you will lose a lot of resources in vain. ”

In fact, he wanted to talk about the importance of a good teacher. If you have a famous teacher, his careful teaching, and the accumulation of contacts, wouldn't it be much better than groping your way forward?

But why would a famous teacher take you as an apprentice? Isn't it because you have extraordinary talent?

Of course, he didn't mean that Master Wen's teacher was bad, on the contrary, maybe Master Zi's teacher was very good to him. It's just that it's useless to just have a good teacher, the most important thing is to be able to control yourself. In his previous life, he had experienced so many ditches and bumps, and he no longer had the spirit of a young man, since he chose the imperial examination, if there was a shortcut to go, and it did not violate the bottom line, then why did he have to go far and near?

When Master Wen saw that Gu Chengyu had made up his mind, he no longer persuaded him. Perhaps this student is determined and knows how to grasp opportunities. Anyway, everyone has their own fate, and only by suffering a loss can they grow wiser. In the future, he should pay more attention and see where he can go in the future.

"In that case, I will no longer advise you, but I hope you will do it yourself. The general didn't give you homework, I will go to class B later, I will teach you here, what has been taught before, you should review it often when you go back, so as not to forget, and when you have memorized all three enlightenment books, and can know their interpretation, you can be promoted to class B. ”

"Yes! The Master's exhortation to the students was taken to heart. Gu Chengyu saw that the master no longer mentioned this matter, and he also bypassed it with interest.
