Lin Chang knocked on the table and said, "Today we will talk about the Three Character Classic. Those who haven't heard it should listen carefully, and those who have heard it can review the past and learn the new."

"Yes, sir."

All the friends put down the books in their hands and sat upright.Luo Xin also looked serious.To be honest, he admired Lin Chang very much. Last time he was able to speak so vividly about a hundred family names, which made him look forward to the Three Character Classic.

Sure enough, Lin Chang explained the stories contained in the Three Character Classic so vividly that Luo Xin was fascinated by it. He only regretted that the morning time passed too quickly, and school was over after half of the Three Character Classic.

Day two.

When Lin Chang saw Luo Xin writing down the Three Character Classic verbatim, although his face was calm, his heart was full of hesitation.It stands to reason that Luo Xin's performance to this level can already eliminate [-]% of his suspicion of lying. As long as he can still perform at this level in the next thousand-character prose study, Lin Chang can be absolutely sure that Luo Xin is not lying.

but……

Just today he discovered another problem, that is, Luo Xin's handwriting improved too fast.Not only is the writing quite satisfactory, but there is already a trend of small achievement.How could an eight-year-old child write such words?

It's not that there are no eight-year-old children who can write characters like Luo Xin. For example, when Zhang Xun was eight years old, his handwriting was not as good as Luo Xin's, but it was almost the same.But Zhang Xun's father is an old scholar, but there is a copybook at home.Does Luo Xin have one?

If there is no copybook copying, how could it be possible to write such characters?
In ancient times, not everyone had copybooks. A copybook was often treasured by literati and was very valuable. How could a family like Luo Xin have copybooks?
Could it be Luo Zhi?
Thinking of this, Lin Chang hesitated again, and again he was not sure whether Luo Xin was lying before.He is now 53 years old and has completely given up on scientific research. If Luo Xin is really a child prodigy, he will feel like a treasure.When Luo Xin becomes famous all over the world in the future, he, the first teacher, will also be famous all over the world.However, if there is a problem with Luo Xin's moral character, he will also be humiliated as the first teacher.

After pondering for a while, he asked, "How long have you been practicing calligraphy?"

"Mr. Hui, I started to practice calligraphy years ago."

"Start practicing calligraphy a year ago?"

Lin Chang's face darkened, even if Luo Xin was practicing calligraphy during the Chinese New Year... well, counting a little further, then at most, he would practice calligraphy for a month, right?Can you write such words?
"Your uncle taught you calligraphy?"

"No, I practiced calligraphy myself."

"Yourself?" Lin Chang's mood became bad again, and his original view on Luo Xin's change was bad again.

"Yes, I copied the copybook myself."

Lin Chang's eyes were fixed: "Where did you get the copybook?"

"It was given by a family in the county."

Lin Chang was stunned for a moment, and being able to give Luo Xin a copybook showed two things. One was that the family was not simple, either rich or expensive, or both rich and expensive.The second thing is that Luo Xin is indeed appreciated by that family.

Could it be that I was wrong again?
Is he really a child prodigy?
He hesitated for a moment, Lin Chang didn't ask why the family gave him the copybook, and he didn't worry about why Luo Xin's handwriting was decent. He already had a solution, which was to continue to observe Luo Xin's handwriting.Since he was able to write to such an extent within a month, then give him another month, and he should have made great progress.If there is no progress, Luo Xin is lying.

Luo Xin's life has entered a routine, he wakes up every morning to practice martial arts with his elder brother, but his elder brother practices Guan Dao, while he practices Tai Chi and Wudang Seven Star Sword.Although his boxing skills are mediocre, he has a strong understanding of weapons.This is also because 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 has to practice Wudang Seven Star Sword every morning is because just practicing Taijiquan 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 he has finished learning the thousand-character prose.It is still able to recite in one day, memorize in two days, and write silently in three days.After returning home in the afternoon, he began to transcribe the poems and articles in his memory, and the manuscripts in the box began to gradually thicken.But Luo Xin also began to worry, because the paper was about to run out, and paper was very expensive at that time, and the paper cost [-] copper coins, so where did Luo Xin get [-] copper coins?

Depressedly, he packed up the kang and went to sleep, and glanced at his elder brother who was already soundly asleep, feeling a little envious in his heart.Living simply is also a kind of happiness.

The next morning, Luo Xin came to the school with a bookcase on his back after practicing Tai Chi and Wudang Seven Star Sword.At this time, the question about Luo Xin's character was basically no longer raised, but the village neighbors who were still a little jealous still raised a few words from time to time.But Luo Xin still adopts an attitude of not arguing, which makes Lin Chang, who has changed his view, appreciate him even more.

At this time, Lin Chang had completely believed in Luo Xin's character. If an eight-year-old child was not a child prodigy, it would be impossible for him to silently write down a hundred surnames, three-character scriptures, and thousand-character scriptures.And in the past few days, he clearly saw that Luo Xin's handwriting had made great progress, which made him ecstatic. When school was over at noon, Lin Chang left Luo Xin behind.Looking at Luo Xin standing in front of him, Lin Chang became more and more satisfied, and completely forgot his doubts about Luo Xin at the beginning.

"Luo Xin, are you willing to be my disciple?"

Luo Xin was overjoyed when he heard that, he was still full of respect for Lin Chang.Not only because Lin Chang's lectures are good, but the most important thing is that he admires Lin Chang's character very much.

He knew that Lin Chang had been suspicious of him from the very beginning, and Lin Chang also had disgust for him in his heart, and he could feel it.But Lin Chang didn't show it all the time, he just assessed him one by one to prove his judgment.Before making a judgment, he never announced his speculation. This kind of upright character makes Luo Xin deeply yearn for and admire.Compared with Lin Chang, my uncle is much worse.Easily declaring his speculations to the mouth caused a lot of trouble for Luo Xin.

Such a person of high moral character wanted to be his master, Luo Xin did not hesitate at all, and immediately bowed deeply and kowtow respectfully.

Lin Chang smiled and said, "Go back and tell your mother that you don't need to pay homage to a teacher as a teacher. I understand 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 Xin was overjoyed, this is to give him a little trouble!
"Go back."

"Students leave."
