Chapter 13 The routine is deep, who takes who seriously

Speaking of luck, Liu Bei felt that no one dared to say that he was number one when he said he was number two.

An obvious example is when they went south to Luoyang with Liu Hui, the group met Gongsun Zan who was being besieged by bandits.

In line with the heroic spirit and the principle of roaring when the road is injustice, Liu Bei led his companions Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and ten younger brothers and rushed over on horseback, defeated the robbers and helped Gongsun Zan.

Gongsun Zan was very happy to see Liu Bei and others' abundant martial arts, and he forged a good friendship with Liu Bei ever since.

Later, Liu Bei learned that Gongsun Zan was the son-in-law of the prefect of Liaoxi County at that time, or a son of the wealthy Gongsun family, with a bright future, so he intended to get close to and make friends with him. The two studied together on Goushi Mountain and had a good relationship.

But speaking of it, these bigwigs' education methods for their social disciples are infinitely close to stocking.

Lu Zhi himself only showed up once a month after he started teaching classes. Until he was appointed as the prefect of Jiujiang County and left Luoyang, he only showed up on Goushi Mountain four times in total.

Gongsun Zan didn't care, he came to be gilded.

Although he is the concubine of the Gongsun family and has no status, he was lucky enough to become the son-in-law of the prefect of the county. With the help of the prefect of the county, he will be an official and his future will be stable.

The reason why he wants to use the name of Lu Zhi Gaotu is that Lu Zhi is from Youzhou, and everyone belongs to the same state.

On the other hand, although the Ancient Literature School is no match for the Modern Literature School in the high-level political game, the popularity of the Ancient Literature School is far higher than that of the Modern Literature School in society.

People like Gongsun Zan, who came from a powerful family in the frontier, naturally had no hope of entering the Modern Literature School, but in order to have the possibility of entering the central government in the future, it may not be a good thing to use Lu Zhi as a medium to enter the hodgepodge group of the Ancient Literature School.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, although Sima Yan was not as ashamed as Sima Yi was in charge of the military and led troops to fight decades later, if a military general wants to be respected, in addition to military merits, he had better be a Confucian scholar birth.

You have to have the ability to be respected and to be praised, otherwise, you are just a vulgar martial artist.

Although Gongsun Zan is tall, handsome, and talented, he has a limited education level and a personality that burns books and confuses scholars. He is the kind of person who needs the endorsement of a great scholar to show that he is not a martial artist.

So Gongsun Zan didn't care about how well he learned, he just needed the signboard of "Lu's Disciple".

So during the study period, Lu Zhi didn't come and he didn't come, and spent every day in the world of flowers and flowers in Luoyang City, throwing coins, so happy.

But Liu Bei is not.

At that time, Liu Bei did not have a county magistrate as his father-in-law, and no one helped him manage his future. The only hope to break through the ceiling of powerful landlords and join the gentry, so as to reach a higher level, was Lu Zhi.

So his goal is not to be Lu Zhi's disciple, but to be a real disciple.

But foolishly waiting for Lu Zhi to appear in front of him would not be fruitful, so he took the initiative to go to Luoyang to look for Lu Zhi in the name of studying.

There were indeed many people who came to gilt on Mount Goushi, but there were also many who came to study with the hope of a carp jumping over the dragon's gate. The situation was similar to that of Liu Bei, and they also wanted to see Lu Zhi.

At that time, Lu Zhi focused his energy on proofreading Confucian classics and carving Xiping stone scriptures with Cai Yong, Li Xun and others. He didn't have much time to pay attention to these gilded monsters.

He naturally knew the real purpose of these disciples, and he also knew that the disciples also knew the real purpose of his teaching students, so in essence, everyone was just using each other. It was enough to have a name, and meeting was unnecessary.

It is the so-called deep routine, who takes who seriously.

But Liu Bei took it seriously.

He waited at the gate of Lu Zhi's mansion, often for a whole day.

Sometimes when he was lucky, when Lu Zhi came back when there was still daylight, he could still go forward and shout to see Lu Zhi, but of course, it was useless, as Lu Zhi ignored him at all.

Sometimes the luck is bad, until the gate of Luoyang city will be closed and the curfew will come, and Lu Zhi still hasn’t come back, so he can only leave Luoyang city and go back to the school in Gou’s Mountain to study and have a rest.

Although Lu Zhi didn't come to teach, there are still some books in Gou's Mountain Academy.

Although there is already paper these days, and there is also Qingzhou paper with a relatively high quality, but the long-standing concept is not so easy to change.

People at this time still believed that bamboo slips could better preserve words and knowledge, so all important texts were written on bamboo slips instead of paper.

So books are written on bamboo slips one by one. They are very heavy and precious. The children of ordinary people will never see a roll of bamboo slips in their lifetime, just like most modern people will never see a printing banknote in their lifetime. machine.

There are indeed many books in the Goushi Mountain Academy. The people in charge of the school do not allow students to take these books away, but they can borrow them in the school.

As for whether he could understand it, that was not something Lu Zhi needed to consider.

Even if he came, he just came over for a formality, showed his face and told everyone that he was still alive, and nothing else.

Liu Bei did not waste this opportunity.

There are no books in his home, only a few scrolls of bamboo slips, on which are written by his father. He read it, and the content is part of the "Hanshu". Book education.

But he didn't have this chance.

He has received more than ten years of modern education, and in his previous life he was also quite interested in ancient Chinese. He read a lot of ancient books and translations, but he didn't remember many of them.

Taking advantage of the opportunity on Mount Gou's, he turned on the lamp to read at night. After a few months, he read for two or three hours a day, and he actually read a lot of books on the mountain.

It’s not that he read ten lines at a glance quickly, but that these classic articles generally have a small number of words, such as Zuo Zhuan, which adds up to 18 words, and the words and sentences are very simple. .

So he can recite some familiar content smoothly, and read the unfamiliar content several times. Relying on his background as a Chinese class representative at that time, he can understand the meaning at a minimum.

Of course, his main time was still spent waiting for Lu Zhi.

At the beginning, there were some people like him waiting together, thinking of trying their luck to impress Lu Zhi, and when they saw Lu Zhi returning home early, they flocked to him.

But after more than a month, they realized that they were the only ones who were moved by doing this, and Lu Zhi's heart was not disturbed, so they realized the foolishness of their behavior, thinking that life is too short, and it is better to have fun in time, so they swarmed into it. In Luo Yang's colorful world.

After more than 50 days, at the gate of Lu Zhi's mansion, apart from the occasional friends who would come to hand over the greeting cards, Liu Bei was the only remaining student of Gou's Mountain.

He just didn't leave, and he didn't care about the idiot-looking eyes of the gatekeeper of Lu Zhi's mansion, and he brought out the spirit of insisting on shamelessness to the extreme.

Anyway, for a street gangster like him, it's meaningless if he can't get food in exchange for his face.

Early in the morning, as soon as the gate of Luoyang City opened, he rushed into Luoyang City and stood at the gate of Lu Zhi's mansion. When he saw Lu Zhi leaving the gate of the mansion during the day, he did not stop him, but just bowed and saluted.

If Lu Zhi returned home before the city gate closed in the afternoon, he would go forward and report his hometown and name.

Of course, Lu Zhi didn't pay attention to him once at first.

In the second month, Lu Zhi would stand still a little bit, look at him sideways with contempt, then enter the mansion without saying a word, and close the door.

By the third month, Lu Zhi still ignored him, but he had already turned his head to look at him, but he still didn't stop to talk to him.

Is there hope?
Liu Bei didn't know it at the time.

This matter gradually spread in the circle of Goushishan students.

Everyone said that Liu Bei was stubborn, knowing that Lu Zhi couldn't see him alone, but wasting time begging to see Lu Zhi, what's the point?

When Gongsun Zan learned of this, he went to the gate of Lu Zhi's mansion and invited Liu Bei to a good tavern in Luoyang to have a drink and have fun, but Liu Bei declined, saying that he would continue to wait for him at the gate of Lu Zhi's mansion.

Gongsun Zan sighed deeply.

"Xuande, why are you bothering? Lu Gong obviously only regards us as disciples and will not let us become disciples. Even if he is a teacher of ancient scriptures, he must have already had a candidate for his disciples. We border warriors , people can't see it."

Liu Bei just shook his head.

"Brother may not believe it, but I take it seriously. Mr. Lu himself was born in a border area, so he should know that it is not easy for students from the border area to study."

Gongsun Zan still sighed.

"Grand Confucianism like Lu Gong may never have taken us seriously. You stay here, at best it sounds like persistence, at worst... do you know how other people evaluate you? They say you are just doing it for yourself. It’s just a matter of humiliation, why waste such a good time in vain?”

Liu Bei still shook his head.

"Mr. Lu also had time to study, and he should have known the hardships of studying and seeking knowledge. If he doesn't talk to me or drive me away, I won't give up and leave."
