Xuande

Chapter 14 Self-taught genius?

Gongsun Zan didn't know Liu Bei for a long time, and he didn't know much about Liu Bei's past, so he felt that Liu Bei was really stubborn.

But just because he was able to wait at the door of Lu Zhi's house for dozens of days in a row, he also admired Liu Bei's persistence from the bottom of his heart.

Besides, for Liu Bei, this may really be his only way, but Gongsun Zan has an old father-in-law who is a county prefect who can support him.

So Gongsun Zan shook his head and left without saying anything.

In the end, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were protecting Liu Bei, couldn't hold back anymore, and urged Liu Bei not to wait and waste time. His persistence was meaningless.

Liu Bei still refused, going his own way without wavering.

Facts have proved that stalking has a chance of success.

Liu Bei stalked for three months. On a certain day in the fourth month, Liu Bei came to the gate of Lu Zhi's mansion in the morning as usual. He saw that Lu Zhi had finished tidying up and left the mansion. He boarded a carriage and left the mansion for Miyagi. direction.

In the afternoon of that day, it suddenly rained heavily. At that time, Liu Bei was squatting on the ground and gnawing on mustard pancakes. He accidentally got wet, so he quickly hid under the wall of Lu Zhi's mansion to avoid the rain.

Under the wind and rain, he was very uncomfortable, feeling extremely helpless, thinking that Lu Zhi might not want to see him after all, just like Liu Bei and Lu Zhi in the original history, they just had the name of master and apprentice.

What Gongsun Zan said was also reasonable. Even if he was a master of ancient scriptures, a master of ancient scriptures at Lu Zhi's level might have already had a designated disciple and successor, and it was not his turn to think about it.

Perhaps, they really can only wait for the Yellow Turban Rebellion, relying on military exploits and Gongsun Zan to find a way to infiltrate the ruling class.

So many days of hard work, so in vain?
At that time, he was almost about to leave.

But suddenly, a thunder exploded on his head, making him tremble all over, and then he saw Lu Zhi's carriage coming towards the gate of the house through the rain.

Why did the old man go home early today?
He was stunned for a moment, sighed, thinking about the beginning and the end, and always finishing what should be done.

So regardless of the heavy rain, he walked to the place where Lu Zhi was waiting for him every day, and saluted Lu Zhi's frame.

Lu Zhi's frame was soon in place, and the servants of the mansion had already made preparations and came to welcome Lu Zhi with umbrellas.

Lu Zhi got out of the car, Liu Bei greeted Lu Zhi loudly, and planned to wait for Lu Zhi to enter the mansion, leave here, go back to take a bath and change clothes, so as not to catch a cold.

In the end, he heard Lu Zhi talking to him.

"Liu Bei, it's raining cats and dogs, but you don't leave. You let the rain wet your clothes, and you still stand in the rain to greet me. Do you want me to feel pity for you by acting like this?"

Liu Bei was taken aback, and looked at Lu Zhi in surprise.

Your old man is too rich in mental activities, right?
I really didn't think that much about it.

So he could only helplessly say: "Bei has no such idea."

"Nothing?"

Lu Zhi sneered, and said: "For three consecutive months, everyone else has left, but you are the only one who stays here. The ancients said that if you work hard, you will decline again, and then you will be exhausted. In the first month, many people will gather around you." At the gate of my mansion, in the second month, there are a lot fewer people, and in the third month, you are the only one left.

Logically speaking, you should have exhausted your momentum, and even gave up like everyone else, but you haven't. It's raining like this, but you are still standing at the door of my mansion waiting for me, letting the rain drench yourself, Liu Bei , don't you admit your thoughts? "

Good guy, play Cao GUI debate with me, right?
Liu Bei turned his head.

"Mount Tai slips through the stone, and the slenderness cuts off the dryness. Water is not the drill of the stone, and the saw is not the wood. It is gradually fading."

This sentence comes from the Han Dynasty, which is a passage written down in the bamboo slips left by his father Liu Hong. Liu Bei was deeply impressed. It probably means that the spirit of perseverance is invincible, and it is similar to the water dripping through stone in later generations.

When Lu Zhi said that he was being narrow-minded, he had to show that he was not playing narrow-minded, but because he was a persevering person. Although the results were similar, the process was very different.

Sure enough, Lu Zhi's face moved slightly when he heard the words.

"Have you ever read Hanshu? Have you also learned sentence reading? Who did you learn from?"

Liu Bei shook his head.

"Before arriving at Goushi Mountain, Bei had only seen this passage in a few volumes of bamboo slips left by his father, and he had only read the complete Han Shu after arriving at Goushi Mountain. Bei lost his father when he was young, his family was poor, and he had no connections. , only learned to read and write in ethnology, that's all."

Lu Zhi was quite surprised when he heard this.

"No one taught you sentence reading? Then how do you read?"

Liu Bei thought about it. Of course, it is impossible to say that he has received a complete 16 years of education and has read countless books. Although he has not read all ancient classics, he still has a sense of language.

Even if the books at this time don't have uniform punctuation marks, it doesn't bother him. Although it is not easy to read, it is not impossible to divide into sections.

He can only play metaphysics.

"Probably... just by feeling?"

Lu Zhi suddenly felt amused.

"Absurd, no one taught you sentence reading, no one explained it for you, so you are self-taught, and you can comprehend the humble words and righteousness of the ancients by yourself? If you can really do this, you are really an unborn genius!"

Liu Bei nodded.

"It's not an exaggeration, it's a fact. Since childhood, Bei's family was poor, and he made a living with his mother weaving mats and selling shoes. There was really no way to learn sentence reading from a teacher. But for some reason, after going up the mountain, he could read when he saw a book. Only a little I don’t recognize the uncommon characters, and I haven’t learned them before.”

Lu Zhi was quite moved when he heard this.

He knew Liu Bei.

He is also from Zhuo County, Zhuo County, and Liu Bei is his little fellow. Although he has not lived in Zhuo County for a long time, the Lu family is still in Zhuo County. When communicating with his family, he has seen this man several times. name.

It is said that he is a clan member of the Han family, a tyrant in Zhuo County, quite famous in the county, and a large group of desperadoes gathered around him. He made a fortune by being brave and ruthless. There is no way to take him.

So when Liu Bo, who had a little friendship with him, wrote a letter to fight for Liu Bei's study place, Lu Zhi was not very happy.

But after thinking about it, I don't really need to teach him anything, I just have the title of master and apprentice for nothing, and I can live up to it, so I can treat it as a fellowship and be a favor.

When he heard this name ringing in his ears for the first time, he looked at Liu Bei and found that Liu Bei did not look like the fierce face he imagined, but rather a gentle scholar , with a well-proportioned appearance, and I can't see that kind of aggressive and murderous look all over her body.

Of course, he doesn't care.

There are many people who want to see him, and there are also many people who are full of ideas in the name of asking for advice. You, Uncle Lu, can't understand who is serious about who is serious.

When I was studying with Ma Rong, Ma Rong deliberately tested everyone by dancing and singing with beautiful singers wearing flimsy clothes. I don’t know how many people’s eyes were attracted by her white and beautiful body, and how many people almost couldn’t bear it. The only person living there was Lu Zhi.

play tricks on me?
Small sample.

But three months have passed, and all the seemingly sincere people have left, only Liu Bei is still guarding the gate of his house.

It just happened to be raining again today, looking at Liu Bei who was waiting for him in the heavy rain, Lu Zhi seemed to see himself who resisted the wild impulse not to look at the beautiful women in Ma Rong's mansion back then.

He just couldn't turn a blind eye.

So there is the previous conversation.

After some conversation, Lu Zhi felt that Liu Bei was not easy.

He said that his cultural level was limited to reading and writing. This Lu Zhi thought about it and decided to believe it.

How can a street gangster with a background in weaving mats and shoes learn how to read sentences?
Sentence reading can only be mastered by people with a certain status and cultural level, and they all have a certain relationship between teachers and apprentices. Such a person absolutely disdains to be with people of Liu Bei's background. He absolutely has no way to learn sentence reading.

In this way, is it possible that Liu Bei is really a genius without a teacher?

Lu Zhi was quite interested, and wanted to test him to see if it was true or false. As a result, a timely gust of wind blew, and Liu Bei shivered involuntarily. Seeing Lu Zhi, he couldn't bear it.

"Come in with me."
