A teacher is someone who imparts knowledge and resolves doubts!

It was the first time that Honghui had a formal teacher. He felt both expectant and excited.

His father had set a time for him to attend classes, from mid-morning to mid-afternoon, a total of two hours. Because he was still young, he would have a quarter-hour snack break in between, which was a form of rest.

Honghui felt that the time was reasonable. He could use the early half day when his father was not around to study. When his father came back after finishing his official business, his classes for the day would be over.

With great anticipation and a little bit of trepidation, the first day of February soon arrived. From today on, he would officially study with Mr. Dai.

Honghui raised his little head obediently and waved goodbye to his mother, "Mother, I'm going to the front yard first and will be back in the afternoon. Please don't worry."

Yixiu straightened his collar, feeling inexplicably reluctant. From now on, her son would not be under her supervision for at least half a day!

"Honghui, Mr. Dai is the teacher that the Fourth Master personally arranged for you to learn from. You must respect your teacher and learn with an open mind. If you don't understand something, just ask more questions..."

Honghui accepted all of his mother's earnest instructions and nodded his little head continuously.

Seeing that it was already the 15th hour of Chen, Yixiu sighed, "Well, it's getting late, you should go to the front yard now, you can't keep the teacher waiting for long." Classes were said to start in the 15th hour of Chen, so now she had to go and wait in advance, because she still had to review and prepare for class!

Honghui said goodbye to his mother and went to the study in the front yard with Zhao Quanshun, the personal eunuch whom his father had just chosen for him a few days ago.

This study room is not the one that my father has always used, but a separate one that was specially prepared by the servants in the front yard for teaching purposes.

There were only two tables in the entire study. Honghui found his seat at a glance, because it was really obvious, right in the middle. Mr. Dai's seat must be not far in front!

Honghui walked straight to his seat and was about to sit down, but saw Zhao Quanshun step forward a few steps, first wipe the table and chairs with a towel, and then invite him to sit down.

Why did he feel a little uncomfortable? In two lifetimes, this was the first time that someone had been waiting on him, taking care of him in everything, just like Su Peisheng by his father's side.

Well, this child is only two years older than him, but he speaks and acts in an orderly manner, and it is obvious that he has been carefully trained.

Zhao Quanshun didn't know what his master was thinking, and he didn't dare to say or ask too much. He could only act according to his master's instructions. According to the teachings he received, he should do things silently in front of his master, think ahead of everything for his master, and not be like an abacus, moving only when the finger is turned.

Eunuch Su, who served Lord Beile, once said that loyalty is the most important thing for a servant! He has only served his master for a few days, so he should perform well and not let his master think that he is useless.

Thinking of this, his expression became even more dull. He first took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that his master needed from the bookcase. Then he stepped back a few steps and stood behind his master so as not to cause any trouble to him.

Honghui could see that there was obvious immaturity and a little nervousness on Zhao Quanshun's little face, but there was a world of difference between master and servant, and he could not lower himself to comfort a servant, otherwise if his father knew about it, Zhao Quanshun would be in trouble.

But he is not a harsh person. In the long run, as long as Zhao Quanshun remains loyal, he will only be a good master.

"Mr. Dai is teaching, you should listen to a few words. Later, I will ask someone to teach you. People who serve me must be motivated!" He didn't want to have someone who couldn't read and made progress serving him.

Zhao Quanshun's heart trembled. The master had already reminded him. This was giving him a chance. Wasn't it just studying? He must be diligent and hardworking, and would never give up until he met the master's requirements.

Seeing that it was already three quarters past three in the morning, Honghui hurriedly picked up the "Analects of Confucius" in his hand and began to review it.

Reviewing the old knowledge helps you learn the new. You can’t just discard what you have already learned. When it comes to learning, his attitude couldn’t be more serious!

About a quarter of an hour later, Dai Duo arrived at the study room ahead of schedule, holding two or three books in his hands. He put away the smiling face that he often wore, and his expression was solemn and serious. If someone who was unwilling to study hard saw him, he would definitely shudder in his heart.

Honghui stood up, looked straight ahead, then bowed and saluted, "Hello, sir!"

I heard that when the prince's second uncle was studying, the teachers had to kneel down to give lectures, and the relationship between teachers and students was completely reversed. He never tolerated this, a teacher is a teacher, and the etiquette of respecting teachers is indispensable.

Dai Duo nodded imperceptibly, feeling more and more satisfied. "Big Brother, please stand up. There is no need for such courtesy. I am just a counselor. I have no achievements or official positions. I am not worthy of such courtesy from Big Brother."

Honghui shook his head and said firmly, "Today, you are the teacher and Honghui is the student. We have no other status! Respecting teachers is the foundation of being a human being. Honghui dare not slack off."

Dai Duo was very pleased with the eldest brother's words. He put his left hand behind his back, picked up the Book of Songs, and started today's teaching when the time came.

Since you are a teacher, you must teach seriously and not let Lord Beile down!

The Book of Songs has more than 300 poems, and Dai Duo's plan is to teach two to three poems a day, three poems at the shortest and two poems at the longest. In addition, some Tang poems and Song poems will be interspersed, plus the daily calligraphy practice, so there is not much left for half a day.

"The orioles are singing on the island in the river. The beautiful lady is the ideal match for the gentleman."...

Every time Mr. Dai read a sentence, Honghui followed him. After reading it once, he was able to read the whole poem. By the second time, he could recite the whole poem, which gave Dai Duo a great surprise.

Dai Duo was delighted to see the opportunity, and hurriedly continued to teach the interpretation and understanding, as well as the ideas contained in the whole poem. The whole teaching process went extremely smoothly, with almost no pause in the middle.

Seeing that the eldest prince performed well, he struck while the iron was hot and taught him two more lessons. Only when it was time for snack time did he put down the book with a sense of loss and let the eldest prince rest.

This is only the first day of teaching, and the eldest prince lives up to his reputation of being smart. He can recite a dozen sentences after just two or three times, and he understands them immediately when the meanings are explained. If this is not intelligence, what is?

Honghui couldn't tell what Mr. Dai was thinking, but he could feel that Mr. Dai was somewhat satisfied with him. After all, it was easy to tell whether one was dedicated in teaching or not.

After the snack time, the next class started, and this time Dai Duo did not talk about the "Book of Songs".

Honghui first learned Tang poetry for more than half an hour, and then practiced calligraphy for two quarters of an hour. Today's class was officially declared over.

Dai Duo took small steps, walked past the eldest prince's desk, and slowly went to his own seat.

"Big brother, that's enough for today. Tomorrow at noon, still at this place, I will continue to teach you." He stroked his mustache and continued, "Big brother, you must review today's teaching content carefully when you go back. I will test your homework in tomorrow's class. I hope you don't slack off."
