Chapter 164 I Can't Wish For It, But
Xia Huai slapped Xia Fang hard: "Brother, just say that you would like to worship Master Chang as your teacher?"

"I wish I could, but."

Xia Huai interrupted him directly: "Don't fail, Master Chang, what do you think?"

Chang Maofeng stroked his long beard, looked at Xia Fang with deep eyes, and said in a deep voice: "You haven't asked for it yet, how could you not know?"

Xia Fang was taken aback for a moment, then overjoyed, and quickly knelt down: "Master Chang, I want to worship you as my teacher, I wonder if I have a chance?"

Chang Maofeng stared at Xia Fang for a long time, until Xia Fang's forehead was sweating, he laughed: "You are a good young man, I don't mind accepting an extra student."

As soon as these words came out, Xia Fang was stunned for a moment, and Xia Huai kicked up directly: "Stupid, hurry up and apprentice!"

It was only then that Xia Fang came to his senses that Pian Pian, who used to be breezy and extremely intelligent, kowtowed three times to the ground.

Chang Maofeng waited for Xia Fang to finish kowtowing, then bent down and pulled him up: "Okay, get up, and come to me to review the book tomorrow."

It's not too late at Maoshi, but it's actually quite normal for scholars, so Xia Fang agreed without hesitation.

As everyone knows, this is the beginning of his hard life.

The next day, at dawn, Zhou Huiniang and others, led by Zheng Daqiao and others, set foot on the road out of the city again to set up a stall.

The soldiers were divided into three groups, and Xia Dashan took Zhang Damu and Wang Tieniu to drive a mule cart to Taohua Village, preparing to apply for part-time labor.

Xia Fang was forced to get up at Maoshi to report to Chang Maofeng, but the trick was that Chang Maofeng hadn't gotten up yet.
Can Xia Fang interrupt?Obviously not, so he had to stand nearby with the book and review it first.

He is not a person who follows the rules and does not know how to adapt, thinking in his heart, yesterday Chang Maofeng asked him to come and wait at Maoshi, but when he came, the other party did not get up.If he went back like this, he might be criticized, but if he waited, not to mention being praised by Chang Maofeng, at least he wouldn't be condemned!

Chang Maofeng woke up after almost half an hour of reviewing.

Xia Fang murmured in his heart: This Chang Maofeng is also very good, the movement of everyone getting up in the morning did not disturb him.

As everyone knows, Chang Maofeng woke up a long time ago. He heard Xia Fang's voice, but he couldn't stand it. He wanted to observe Xia Fang, and simply recited "Sun Tzu's Art of War", "The Analects" and "Mencius" silently in his heart.
It wasn't until he realized that he had maintained a posture for too long and his body was stiff, that he pretended to have just woken up.

Xia Fang put away the book in surprise: "Sir, you are awake!"

Chang Maofeng was a bit uncomfortable at first, if it wasn't for this kid being close, why would he dare not turn over?But seeing Xia Fang's sincere eyes, he was embarrassed to say the condemnation in his mouth, and just nodded slightly: "You review first, I'll go wash up."

After finishing speaking, Chang Maofeng slowly went to wash his face and hands, then slowly ate his breakfast, and finally walked to Xia Fang.

Xia Fang was immersed in the book at this time, and did not realize that Chang Maofeng had arrived in front of him.

Chang Maofeng nodded with some relief. Although Xia Fang was not flexible enough, at least he was upright and not impetuous. If it was Wuying, he would have been waiting to scratch his heart and get impatient!

"Okay, put away the books, I'll take the school exam."

Xia Fang was a little nervous, but his hands moved very quickly. He closed the scroll and cupped his hands towards Chang Maofeng: "Please enlighten me, sir."

Chang Maofeng didn't procrastinate, he opened his mouth and came: "'Zi said: Everyone calls 'Yuzhi', and drives them into the traps. Everyone knows 'Yuzhi', and the choice is the mean, and you can't keep it for a month. .'How to solve this problem?"

This is an excerpt from "The Doctrine of the Mean", and he is quite familiar with it. Xia Fang subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief, sorted out the words in his mind, and then said softly: "'Choose the mean, distinguish all the principles, and seek the so-called mean. If you don’t know how to deal with misfortune, you can’t know if you can choose but can’t keep it.” Therefore, it is better to take from clumsiness than to seek from ingenuity. Clumsiness shows its sincerity, but ingenuity is deceitful.”

Chang Maofeng nodded in satisfaction: "It's okay. If a person is not sincere, if he tells a lie, he will have to cover it up with ten lies. It happens no matter which dynasty you are in. Show yourself with a utilitarian heart. In the end, I fell into a cage of self-woven."

"So, we must face self-ignorance correctly, admit our own shortcomings, live in the present, and perceive the happiness of this world. To strive for the fruits that can be achieved in front of us, and to be down-to-earth can lead to long-term development."

What else can Xia Fang say?He could only bow his head and say 'yes', pretending to be a good student.

After a quarter of an hour, Chang Maofeng finally stopped talking endlessly, he had no choice but to confiscate students for a long time, and he couldn't stop talking when he first accepted apprentices!
He clenched his fists to his mouth and coughed to cover up: "Okay, you go to review your books first, focus on reviewing "University", and I will take the exam in two days." After a moment of silence, he added: "You have to be serious and meditate. , if the world is stable, the imperial examination will be held as scheduled.” As for the instability?Needless to say, who cares about the imperial examination in times of chaos!Life is gone, what's the use of improperly eating or drinking books?

Don't look at him as a great Confucianist, but his thinking is not pedantic, and all decisions are made to keep pace with the times, discuss the facts as they are, and prevent living in a trap!
"Yes, sir, the students would like to follow the teachings of the sir."

"Okay, you go to study." Chang Maofeng waved his sleeves, put his hands behind his back, and prepared to go for a stroll in the village.

As for Xia Fang?What else can a student do besides listening to his master?The sooner you read the book thoroughly, the sooner you can do what you like!

Hey, cooking is his favorite!
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

At this time, Wang Tieniu was yelling at Xia Dashan who was in a daze: "Brother Dashan, let me tell you, we will definitely be able to enter, so don't worry about it! Besides, if you really don't accept us, you will go back home at worst , go back to set up a stall and still count the money until your hands cramp!"

Zhang Damu: "." I envy him so much, he can talk nonsense like this, how many steamed buns does he have to eat to get such courage? !

Xia Dashan pulled himself out of his contemplation, only to realize that he was misunderstood by Wang Tieniu: "Haha, I'm not thinking about this, I'm just a little worried about Huai'er and the others."

His wife and daughter are away from home, but he is not with him, so it is impossible not to worry!
It was only then that Wang Tieniu realized that he had misunderstood, and immediately patted Xia Dashan on the shoulder: "What are you afraid of, isn't there a group of boys like Zheng Daqiao? It must be all right! Oh, is the Peach Blossom Village in front of you?"

The two of them took a good look, and sure enough, they found that the crowds in front of them were crowded, and the black and white area was full of people!

The three of them thumped in their hearts, and Wang Tieniu couldn't help saying: "Mother, why are there so many people!"

Xia Dashan was not too surprised, after all, the salary is really quite a lot, and the number of people is expected, but it is true that he did not expect so many people
