Chapter 6 Counseling
Facing the shocked girl, Zuo Xiaoyou asked, "Do you know who are the four beauties in ancient China?"
"I don't know." The girl shook her head and wrinkled her nose, as if she was not interested in the beauty.
"Do you know 'Sinking fish, falling geese, closing the moon, and shy flowers'?" Zuo Xiaoyou asked with a smile.
"I know." The girl nodded: "Many books say that women are beautiful, so they are used to describe them in these eight words."
"This is for granted." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "The so-called sinking fish, falling geese, closing the moon, and shy flowers refer to the four beauties in ancient China. The sinking fish is Xi Shi, falling geese is Wang Zhaojun, closing the moon is Diao Chan, and shy flowers are Yang Guifei."
"Oh?" The girl seemed to be interested again: "Brother Zuo, why are the four beauties such strange titles?"
"I'll tell you this later." Zuo Xiaoyou waved his hand: "I'll tell you about Diao Chan, the four beauties. You must have heard of Diao Chan!"
"I've heard." The girl nodded: "Lu Bu plays with Diao Chan, Guan Gong kills Diao Chan under the moon, I've heard people say."
"Hehe." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and shook his head: "In fact, there is no Diao Chan in history."
"Ah?" The girl was surprised: "No?"
"No." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded affirmatively and said, "In the original history, Lu Bu had some emotional disputes with one of Dong Zhuo's concubines, and then Wang Yun seized the opportunity to use a plan of discord and instigated Lu Bu to kill Dong Zhuo. As for Diao Chan, it has not appeared in official history, and the name Diao Chan has only appeared in unofficial history."
"What is unofficial history?" The girl didn't understand.
"It's folklore."
"Oh." The girl understood and then sighed: "It turns out that such a famous historical figure as Diao Chan can also be fictionalized! China's history is indeed very unrigorous."
"That's actually what history is." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled: "Just know about it. Don't worry about specific examples. If you are serious, you will lose."
The girl nodded, held her chin and looked at Zuo Xiaoyou, blinked her eyes, and laughed: "Brother Zuo, you know so much."
"Because I read a lot of books." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said, "Knowledge changes destiny, so you should also read more in the future, because no one can take away the knowledge you have learned, and there will always be a day of usefulness."
"Yeah." The girl nodded repeatedly, ate all the ice cream in the cup, licked the corner of her mouth, and said, "Brother Zuo, thank you for telling me so much. I don't understand anything in the future. Can you please continue to tell me?"
Seeing the girl's expectation, Zuo Xiaoyou nodded with a smile: "Yes, I live in 202, the second floor of District XX. If you have any questions, please contact me at any time."
"This..." the girl showed hesitation.
"What's wrong?" Zuo Xiaoyou looked at her.
"No... it's okay." The girl pursed her lips, stood up with a little blushing, and said, "Brother Zuo, thank you for telling me so much today. It's getting late, I'm going home."
"Okay." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded: "The world is unstable, pay attention to safety on the road."
"It's okay." The girl smiled and waved her hand: "Goodbye Brother Zuo."
After watching the girl leave, Zuo Xiaoyou ate the almost melted ice cream and left.
For some reason, Zuo Xiaoyou always felt that the girl looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen it.
There is only one heroine in this movie, namely Ip Man's wife Zhang Yongcheng. If anyone else can leave a impression, there is only the third aunt who hangs the bed sheets. Apart from that, there are no female characters in this movie, so Zuo Xiaoyou is very confused about this. Why is he familiar with a little girl he doesn't know? It's so strange.
"Maybe there is a girl in the real world who looks a bit like her!" Zuo Xiaoyou could only think so.
evening.
Zuo Xiaoyou returned home. Zhang Yongcheng, who was erect, was cooking in the kitchen, Ye Zhun was doing homework in his room, and Ye Wen, the old otakus, sat in the living room to drink tea.
Since Ip Man's family of three moved in, Zhang Yongcheng has contracted three meals at home. Zhang Yongcheng's cooking skills are pretty good. Although he is not as good as a chef in a restaurant, he can cook good dishes and make good soup. He is worthy of being a lady from a noble family.
In comparison, the old otakus Ip Man couldn't help at home. He couldn't do anything with food, clothes, and housework. The only heavy work was contracted by Zuo Xiaoyou, the apprentice. Every day when he got home, he could only drink tea.
"Ah You, I'm going to buy books again!" Seeing Zuo Xiaoyou come back with an old book, Ip Man smiled.
"Yes! Master." Zuo Xiaoyou sat down on the other side of the table, put the book on the table, and said, "Our country has experienced a hundred years of war and many books have been destroyed. I want to collect as many old books as possible, and maybe use them in the future."
Ip Man sighed: "The world is not good!"
"It will get better." Zuo Xiaoyou comforted: "At least the Japanese devils have been beaten away by us. Although Xiangjiang is still under the jurisdiction of the UK, there will be no war in the end. If you develop for a few decades, everything will be fine."
"Yes!" Ip Man smiled: "It will be fine."
"Don't talk to you master and apprentice, go wash your hands and have a meal." Zhang Yongcheng put two dishes on the dining table.
"Okay, it's time to eat." Ye Wen stood up with a smile and shouted at Ye Zhun's room: "A Zhun, it's time to eat."
"Here you come!"
Life passed quietly for a few more days.
In the past few days, Zuo Xiaoyou's kung fu has not improved much, which is normal. Martial arts itself is not a short-term exercise, and even a set of boxing can be learned for a lifetime. After the rapid growth of strength, Zuo Xiaoyou began to enter a stable transition period, and during this period he could only rely on water grinding and grinding little by little.
But even if the progress is not great, it is enough to maintain the majesty of the eldest brother. The young master Huang and the group of young masters have all been taught a lesson by Zuo Xiaoyou, and no one is dissatisfied with him. Ip Man was also very satisfied with Zuo Xiaoyou because many trivial matters were handled by him as his apprentice. For example, the difficult thing to ask for "collect tuition fees" was solved by Zuo Xiaoyou, which saved Ip Man's embarrassment.
Now the only thing Ip Man does is to teach his disciples boxing skills, and his life is quite comfortable.
But that night, after dinner at home, Ip Man, who was out for a walk, encountered a sad thing.
Zhou Qingquan, who was unconscious, was chased and beaten because he stole a roast duck. Zhou Qingquan's son Zhou Guangyao begged, but because he had no money, he could only watch his father be beaten.
This sad scene made Ye Wen feel heartbroken. Although he paid for Zhou Qingquan, he saw that his old friend who helped him escape to Xiangjiang ended like this, Ye Wen was so ashamed that he almost burst into tears.
When I learned that Zhou Guangyao had no formal job, Ip Man gave up his old face and went to Liang Gen, who was in the newspaper office, and asked Zhou Guangyao for a job, which somewhat relieved his guilt.
Ip Man didn't tell anyone about this, so Zuo Xiaoyou naturally didn't know about it, and he didn't have the heart to care about these trivial matters now, because he now focused on tutoring girls.
The girl is also bold. Since she separated from Zuo Xiaoyou that day, only three days later, the girl has really run to Zuo Xiaoyou's house.
It was five o'clock that afternoon, and Zuo Xiaoyou was reading a book at home. Zhang Yongcheng was sleeping during pregnancy and had been sleeping in the room after lunch. Ye Zhun had just finished school and ran out to play, while Ye Wen drew a small advertisement in Ye Zhun's room.
It was quite hard to make an advertisement at this time. I had to write one by one by one. It was not like modern times, and it was easily printed in a few thousand copies.
On this peaceful afternoon, the girl came to knock on the door.
"Brother Zuo."
The door opened, and the girl in a white dress and carrying a schoolbag shouted sweetly.
"Why are you here?" Zuo Xiaoyou was surprised. Since he separated that day, he had never seen a girl again, and he thought he would never meet her again.
"Didn't you come to you if you don't understand anything?" The girl took out the Romance of the Three Kingdoms from her schoolbag, grabbed it with her hands, covering her mouth and nose, and smiled at her eyes.
Zuo Xiaoyou also smiled and turned sideways: "Come in!"
From that day on, the girl would come over to find Zuo Xiaoyou almost every afternoon. Sometimes she would ask Zuo Xiaoyou to explain what she didn't understand in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but it gradually turned into extracurricular tutoring.
The girl is in the second grade of junior high school, that is, the second grade of junior high school. She will assign some homework after school every day. These homework is quite difficult for the girl, especially physics and mathematics, which is very difficult for the girl to learn.
After all, Zuo Xiaoyou graduated from high school. Although he had been away from campus for more than ten years, he still remembered his junior high school knowledge very well. In addition, the junior high school knowledge in 1950 was even less difficult than the knowledge of the senior primary school in Zuo Xiaoyou's era. So when Zuo Xiaoyou easily solved the problem of the girl's homework, the girl relied on him.
