Chapter 1213 Household Affairs
Lu Rudai looked at Luo Xin worriedly. She was a scholarly family, her husband was the top scholar, and now she is the left son of the Zhan Shi Mansion and the Hanlin Academy. She is a literati of Qinggui. She didn't want Luo Yu to practice martial arts, but she just wanted Luo Yu to learn literature. But in front of her parents-in-law, she was not easy to object. But before she could turn her mind around, Luo's mother was unwilling to do so and glared at Luo Ping:
"What are you doing when practicing martial arts? My grandson will be the top scholar in the future."
"What's wrong with practicing martial arts?" Luo Ping's face was unhappy.
"I said it's not good. It's great to be the top scorer. There is not so much danger. Do you want your grandson to go to the battlefield like Xiner?"
"What's wrong with going to the battlefield?" Luo Ping's eyes also glared.
Luo Xin looked at Luo Yu, and there was a look of contemplation on his face. However, Luo Yu was dealing with the chicken leg regardless of the matter. Seeing Luo Xin looking at Luo Yu and thinking, Luo Ping and his wife stopped quarreling. They were very impressed by their son in their hearts and couldn't help but look at Luo Xin. No matter what Luo Xin did, they would not object. When Lu Rudai saw Luo Xin's contemplative look, he knew that Luo Xin had also moved to let Luo Yu practice martial arts. He couldn't help but look at Luo Xin's worried gaze at Luo Xin. The room suddenly became silent, and only the sound of Luo Yu gnawing on the chicken leg was left.
However, the room suddenly became quiet. How could Luo Yu not feel it? He looked at Luo Xin in a daze and called out timidly:
"father!"
Luo Xin raised his hand and touched Luo Yu's head, and said gently:
“Eat.”
"oh!"
Luo Yu began to lower his head and forcefully attack the chicken leg.
In fact, Luo Xin didn't really want Luo Yu to start studying at the age of three, so he was not in a hurry to read. What books can I read in the Ming Dynasty now?
If classified according to later generations, there is only one Chinese language to read. The Four Books and Five Classics, Poems and Songs are all Chinese languages, of course, that is much deeper than the Chinese languages in later generations. However, there are mathematics, physics, chemistry, rectification, geography and foreign languages in later generations. To be honest, students who really learn and get admitted to key universities have to put in the effort, only more than those of the Ming Dynasty scholars, and many, and more.
The reason why I felt that scholars in ancient times were very tired was that they were not too much in books and could not read them. In fact, on the contrary, the Ming Dynasty did not read many books for scholars. The real problem for scholars was that there were no books to read.
Poor people cannot afford to read books. Most poor scholars may only have one Analects of Confucius in their lifetime, and they will never get the doctrine of the mean. They will wait for books to read in college. Just like Luo Xin just came to the Ming Dynasty. If he hadn't had the memories of cheating in his past life, if he hadn't been able to read books from Lu Tingfang, he would have been a good idea as a peasant disciple, even if he wanted to study, he would have been able to read a book.
The result of this is that if you read less books and don’t have enough knowledge, how can such a person pass the exam?
Just like when Luo Xin was taking the exam for the Tongsheng exam, he had seen a white-haired old man taking the exam. How could a person like this not work hard in his studies?
But I still can't pass the exam.
Why?
Because of poverty!
If you are poor, you will not have a channel to get books. Without books, no matter how hard your knowledge is, your knowledge will not grow. Without knowledge, no matter how hard you work, you will not pass the exam. This is a vicious cycle.
Therefore, a poor person like this, even if he starts studying at the age of three, with his head hanging on his beam and his thighs pierced, he will not be admitted to the scholar because he has his innate shortcomings.
This is the big reason why it is difficult for poor families to have noble children!
However, Luo Xin does not lack books, so Luo Xin feels that there is no need to let his son start studying at the age of three. It is too late to start at the age of six or seven, and it is not too late to be seven or eight years old. You have to be like a childhood. What's wrong with playing?
but……
Practicing martial arts is different.
Luo Xin knew that practicing martial arts must be laid from a young age. If Luo Xin wanted his son to practice martial arts, he should have learned it at the age of three. What he was thinking about was whether to let Luo Yu practice martial arts. In the end, Luo Xin decided to let Luo Yu learn it.
Not everyone can learn martial arts. It depends on a person's roots and bones. If you are not suitable for martial arts innately, you will never have any future in your life when working hard, and it is a waste of time.
If Luo Yu has the roots of practicing martial arts, Luo Xin will be ready to train him well. With Luo Ping, a martial arts master, there is no problem in cultivating Luo Yu.
Without that talent, Luo Xin would not have let Luo Yu practice martial arts, and would have let Luo Yu regard martial arts as a training, so that he would not waste any time. Thinking of this, he nodded and said:
"When I was three years old, let Yu'er try martial arts and see if he had that talent. If he had, please give him a good teaching. If he didn't, he didn't have to learn it. Just learn a set of boxing as a training exercise."
"Yes!" Luo Ping nodded and said, "The talent of practicing martial arts is very important. For example, you and Qing'er are born with the material for practicing martial arts, and you are not his opponent."
Luo Xin couldn't help but smile bitterly. He was not just Luo Qing's opponent. Now that he was fighting with Luo Qing, he might not be able to get through ten moves. Luo Qing was really a tiger general who was too fierce to be more powerful.
"If Yu'er is a martial arts material, I will leave it to me. I promise to temper him into a powerful general who is not inferior to Qing'er. If Yu'er is not that martial arts material, let him learn literature from you."
Lu Rudai's face turned pale. He thought of the injuries on Luo Xin's body, and then his son would fight on the battlefield in the future. He couldn't help but want to speak. But before she could speak, he heard Luo Xin say:
"Dad, I don't want Yu'er to follow the path of a military general. In the future, Yu'er will still follow the path of a civil servant."
Lu Rudai closed her mouth and waited for Luo Xin to continue speaking. Luo Ping was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said:
"Do you want Yu'er to be the same as you?"
Luo Xin thought for a while and said, "Dad, you know the situation of my elder brother. Now the grassland is completely in the hands of my elder brother. I will not attack the Ming Dynasty at all. My cousin has destroyed Japan, so there will be no Japanese pirates in the south. And in a short time, when the Japanese are completely integrated, my cousin will attack Goryeo. Now, Goryeo has lost 80,000 elite troops in the Ming Dynasty and cannot resist the attack of his cousin. Therefore, Goryeo will sooner or later fall into the hands of his cousin. In this way, there will be no war around the Ming Dynasty. There is no way out for generals to have a peaceful Ming Dynasty."
"It's not just that there is no way out!" Luo Ping sighed and said, "Now the position of military officers in the Ming Dynasty is very underground. When third-rank military officers see fifth-rank civil servants, they have to kneel down."
Speaking of this, he smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I have a son like you. Those civil servants are polite when they see me. If it is really as you said, the Ming Dynasty will be peaceful and the military officers will have a harder life."
After hearing this, Luo Xin frowned slightly and said, "Is there any civil servant difficult for his father?"
