Chapter 35 Enrollment(1/2)
Changning Academy.
Deep in the beautiful garden.
The wooden wheels gently rolled over the fallen leaves on the ground.
"The bamboo is broken, and the bamboo is restored. The earth flies, and the corpse is chased away."
"I work when the sun rises, and rest when the sun sets. I dig wells and drink, and plow the fields and eat. What do I have from the imperial power!"
…
Li Wuxin listened intently, and the sound of reading could be heard in the wind.
Li Wuxin said happily: "Brother! I seem to have heard you read these poems before!"
Li Wuqi asked: "Do you know what it means?"
Li Wuxin shook his head.
"The first poem describes the scene of ancient people hunting: cutting bamboo, connecting bow strings to make slingshots, and then making soil into projectiles to shoot birds and beasts to obtain food."
"The second poem talks about farming. I work when the sun comes up and rest when the sun goes down. I dig wells for drinking water and cultivate for food. I live such a self-sufficient life. What does the emperor mean to me?
What’s the meaning?”
"Wow -" Li Wuxin's eyes were filled with stars, "Brother, you are so awesome..."
"Do you want to study?" Li Wuqi suddenly remembered this.
"Yes!" Li Wuxin answered simply and resolutely, "My brother's dream is to become an immortal through literary education, so I also want to become an immortal through literary education and always be with my brother!"
Li Wuqi smiled: "Little fool, I have already said that my brother's dream is for you to live a good life."
"No!" Li Wuxin said stubbornly, "You can have this dream! But besides that, my brother also needs to have a dream that has nothing to do with me, or even anyone else, but only belongs to him!"
It has nothing to do with anyone, it only belongs to your own dream...
what is that?
Li Wuqi suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have any dreams. As long as he could live well in this world, that would be fine.
But he was still moved by these words.
He said: "When you go home, my brother will teach you how to read."
But Li Wuxin shook his head: "Brother, it's too hard... I'm very stupid. Teaching me to read will definitely be very troublesome for brother..."
Li Wuqi thought for a while.
Let’s put aside the issue of whether it’s hard work or not, and just talk about whether I have the strength to teach her.
Do you consider yourself a poet? Absolutely not.
He has many poems in his mind, many famous poems that have been tested by history and have been passed down through the ages. With these poems, he can personally create a great scholar of literature and morals.
But the problem is, these poems are not his.
Even if he can memorize a thousand-word poem word for word, even if he can keep the poet's creative background in mind, even if he can memorize the meaning of the poem by heart, those poems still do not belong to him, and he cannot understand them.
Why did the poet choose such words to connect the poetic meaning...
He cannot create such verses.
What's more, he may not be able to explain the meaning of poetry clearly. In his opinion, abstract things like poetry can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.
This shows that he actually does not have the talent to be a teacher - he cannot be a teacher, so naturally he cannot teach his sister well.
In this case, it is better to leave professional matters to professionals.
So he said: "If my brother asks you to stay in Changning Academy to study, can you do it?"
Li Wuxin nodded and said, "I can definitely do it!"
At this time, a trio of Changning County government officials arrived.
Zhou Jinzhu said happily: "Little friend Wuqi, long time no see."
Li Wuqi smiled: "It's only been a few days, Master Zhou."
It's rare for someone to have such feelings for him that "one day's absence is like three autumns", but it happened to be a man, and Li Wuqi felt a little disappointed in his heart.
He took out the eight hundred taels of silver notes and said, "This is the money I borrowed from you last time."
But Zhou Jinzhu didn't care about Yinliang, and only said: "The timing of Brother Wuqi's visit is very clever. At this time, many friends are gathering together. I also invite little friend Wuqi to come and say hello."
Li Wuqi originally wanted to refuse, but Zhou Jinzhu was very insistent and even grabbed the wheelchair and insisted on his own way: "This is your sister, right? She is indeed as beautiful as a flower..."
While saying polite words, he pushed Li Wuxin away.
Whether voluntarily or not, Li Wuqi arrived at the guest room.
Facing everyone in the room, Zhou Jinzhu said slightly excitedly: "Everyone, this is little friend Wuqi, and I have a very happy relationship."
Everyone in the room was a respectable person. Ever since they learned about Li Wuqi's identity as a pig butcher, they had a high self-esteem and found it hard to get along with him in a normal manner.
Miss Ouyang from Xiu Feng Academy joked: "It turns out to be brother Wu Qi, whose name I have admired for a long time! I have long heard that your pig-killing techniques are extraordinary, and when I saw you today, you are indeed worthy of your reputation!"
Li Wuqi returned the courtesy and said: "This girl is as beautiful as a fairy. Although I met her for the first time, I feel very kind to her. I wonder if it is because of the fate of my previous life..."
Miss Ouyang didn't expect that Li Wuqi would respond so sharply, so she sneered and said, "I'm afraid not...unless I was also a scholar in my previous life?"
Li Wuqi smiled and said: "No, I was probably a pig butcher in my previous life. What I saw most was not poems and articles, but pigs."
Ouyang was stunned for a moment, and then realized that this boy was hinting that he was a pig in his previous life!
Her expression suddenly changed: "Sharp teeth and sharp mouth!"
Dean Zeng Fan of Peacock Academy frowned and said impatiently: "Master Zhou, we are discussing important matters now. Why don't we let these irrelevant people in so easily? Rough words will only disturb people's thinking!"
Master Zhou secretly thought something was wrong, and hurriedly explained: "You guys have misunderstood, but little friend Wuqi..."
Li Wuqi said wisely: "Master Zhou, since you are busy here, I won't bother you anymore. This is eight hundred taels of silver. Please keep it."
Li Wuqi seemed unwilling to expose his identity, so Master Zhou did not dare to make any independent decisions.
He could only accept the banknote. Although he was unwilling to do so, he still said implicitly: "I have offended a lot this time. I hope you can forgive me..."
Li Wuqi said: "Before that, there is one more thing I want to trouble Master Zhou."
Oh? Has the opportunity come again for Li Wuqi to owe him a favor?
Master Zhou’s eyes lit up: “Little friend, please tell me!”
"My sister wants to study in Changning Academy. Do you think you can make arrangements for her?"
"No problem!" Master Zhou agreed without hesitation, "My sister is going to school, and Zhou will personally go into battle and teach me everything she has to offer!"
Li Wuqi nodded: "I'm sorry, Master Zhou."
"Don't dare! As long as Zhou can help with all your problems, I will do my best!"
Li Wuqi then guided: "Wu Xin, thank you Master Zhou."
Li Wuxin said obediently: "Thank you Master Zhou..."
Master Zhou was flattered and said: "No thank you, no thank you! The little girl is well-educated and sensible. She is worthy of being the sister of little friend Wuqi..."
Master Zhou's performance shocked everyone!
After all, Changning Academy is the best academy in Changning County. Even if it is not as good as the first-class Hongque Academy in Kyushu, it is definitely accessible to most people if they want to.
At this time, just because of a word from a pig butcher, a seemingly dull girl in a wheelchair was taken in?
Moreover, Zhou Jinzhu also acted like he had taken advantage of him!
Everyone was a little confused: "Who is this Li Wuqi? Could it be that he is Master Zhou's illegitimate son?"
Zhou Jinzhu originally wanted to take this opportunity to ask Li Wuqi to send another poem, but the timing was not right and it might be counterproductive.
He then took the initiative to see the guest off and said: "Then I won't waste my time, little friend. Zhou will take care of your sister's enrollment in school. Zhou will also send someone to take care of your sister's daily life. She will never let your sister go to school."
Changning Academy lost half a hair..."
Everyone: "???!!!"
Crazy?
So respectful to a pig butcher?!
What are you planning?!
Is he going to give you two extra taels of pork belly?!
The price of meat has not increased now!
Li Wuqi nodded, neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "Then I'll trouble Master Zhou."
"No trouble, no trouble." Mr. Zhou said with a flattering smile on his face, "It's not convenient today, but Zhou will pay a visit in person another day..."
Everyone was puzzled: "How could he be so respected by Master Zhou? Could it be that this guy is the best pig butcher in the world? But even if he is the best pig butcher in the world, he shouldn't be so valued..."
What exactly is going on?
Li Wuqi nodded: "Master Zhou has taken the trouble. To express his gratitude, Wu Qi has a gift for you."
To be continued...
