Be a master through ancient times

Chu Ci poured a glass of wine and stood up first: "Today I am honored to sit with you adults. Chu Ci will first offer a glass of thin wine to respect you adults."

After speaking, he picked up his wine glass and drank it in one gulp, and the others also took a sip from their wine glasses.

"Chu Siye, sit down. You can try this steamed mandarin fish. This is their signature dish." As the host, Wen Hai naturally wanted to greet him well.

Chu Ci picked up a little bit with chopsticks and put it in his mouth, tasted it, and then said: "Mmm, it's delicious and smooth, it's really delicious in the world."

"Chu Siye likes to eat fish? I heard that there is a new restaurant opened on West Street. The whole fish banquet there is very good. I invite Chu Siye to try it some other day?" Zhu Antai said.

"Haha, sir, please be polite. Zhu Feng's enthusiasm is in the same vein as yours. As expected, having a good family tradition is the foundation of cultivating an outstanding talent."

They rambled about without mentioning the reason for the invitation, so Chu Ci had no choice but to bring it up first.

"Chu Siye has won the prize. The child is naughty, please forgive me, Chu Siye." Zhu Antai said.

Wen Hai remembered the last time Chu Ci asked him to give an example and asked him tongue-tied, and couldn't help but expect that Chu Ci would ask him that question too.

"Stubbornness is nothing to say. Zhu Feng is enthusiastic, brave, and empathetic. He's just playing around like an ordinary young man, but that's nothing. I wonder what Zhu Feng does when he's at home?"

Zhu Antai sighed, and said, "I don't know what sin I did. I have such a son in this life, and I have lost my old face."

"Oh? Why did your lord say that?" Chu Ci asked.

"He has been naughty since he was a child. He teased cats and dogs all day long. He never stopped. When he grew up, he often fought with his classmates, which made me go out every day to apologize to others. After I went to the Imperial College, I still refused to accept him. Xin, every time I ask about homework, I don’t know anything about it. Don’t talk about the Four Books and Five Classics, I guess it’s enough to test him for three hundred thousand now!” Zhu Antai really had a lot to say when he mentioned this son.

The first few of him and his wife were daughters, and they finally had a son in middle age, so they were a little more lenient with this son.But after a long time, he discovered that it is useless to be loose. His son is obviously a hozen on the mountain.

Although he could rely on the protection of his ancestors to become a small official even if he didn't make any progress, Zhu Antai was still restless because of the anxiety of having no successor.

There are three brothers and two sisters in his family.Among the brothers and sisters, he climbed the highest and completely inherited his father's mantle.But in this next generation, he will be ashamed.

Among the younger generation, it was Zhu Feng who didn't make progress, and was out of shape all day long.Every time he went back to his home, as soon as his nephews stood up, they would dump him a few streets.

Hearing his nagging complaints, Chu Ci couldn't help but sigh inwardly when he saw how the other adults felt the same way.In this, Wen Ran's father is probably better. After all, although Wen Ran was a little rebellious before, he didn't relax in his studies at all.

"...Well, I often ask him to learn from others to see how they study. He is good, he raises his eyebrows when he mentions this, and clamors for me to change my son. If I can change, how can I change my son? It's his turn!" Zhu Antai said bitterly.

Chu Ci did not agree with this point, he said with a smile: "Master Zhu, you two are on the same page as father and son, and I have heard Zhu Feng complain about it."

When Zhu Antai heard this, he put down the wine glass in his hand immediately: "What did the Nizi say? How dare he complain?"

"Yes, he said, you are too strict with him, not as kind and funny as other people's fathers. Other people's fathers patiently enlighten the children when they encounter troubles, and comfort the children when they are frustrated. He really wants such a father." father."

"It's against him!" Master Zhu slapped the table suddenly, his beard curled up in anger, "Ni Zi, this Ni Zi!"

"My lord, please be safe and don't be impatient. In fact, Zhu Feng didn't say that just now." Chu Ci smiled secretly.

"Chu Siye, this joke can't be messed up." Zhu Antai said warningly.

"My lord, please calm down. The reason why the lower official said this is just to let the lord think differently."

"Empathy?" This is another new word.

"Yes, my lord, you just said that you always compare Zhu Feng with other people on weekdays? Then just now, my lord should have experienced the pain of being compared. As an adult, when you first heard this, you would feel Very angry. As a young man, Zhu Feng, how does he feel every time he hears such words? There may be sadness and despair of being denied by the elders, and there may be shame and inferiority of being told by the elders that he is not as good as others. Under such complicated emotions, it is really difficult for him to deal with it calmly."

Master Zhu was stunned, and the other adults were also a little dazed, and then immediately recalled it to see if he had said similar words.

"Chu Siye really awakened the dreamer with one word. In this way, I did not do it properly before."

Zhu Antai remembered that when he was talking a few times, Zhu Feng turned his head away with red eyes and looked away.At that time, he only felt happy, but now that he thinks about it, he feels a little distressed.

"Chu Siye, then tell me about my family's Zhu Mingyue's performance. He came back last time and said you didn't give him food. After I went back, I gave him a good lesson. This kid has always been glib, coaxing his mother and grandmother He has to go around. Tell me, how to teach him like this." Seeing that Zhu Antai didn't speak for a while, Master Zhu rushed to ask.

"This glib tongue, from another point of view, is actually eloquent. The last person who was eloquent and eloquent relied on his three-inch tongue to win the seal of the six kingdoms. It can be seen that sometimes, there is nothing wrong with this glib tongue Yes, it just needs more guidance to develop in another direction, and there is nothing wrong with it.”

"Chu Siye is too much, how can my family Zhu Mingyue compare with them? It's just a grinning mouth."

What Chu Ci said made Master Zhu smile.Although Master Zhu said that Zhu Ming is worse than ever, in fact he still values ​​this son very much in his heart.

Chu Ci also smiled complacently in his heart. He has been a class teacher for several years, and the experience he learned from many old teachers is that he should always praise his children first in front of parents.Then he talked about his shortcomings in a persuasive manner, and his tone was as tactful as possible.They are more comfortable listening to you, and they have a lot of affection for you, and it will be too easy for them to cooperate to do something.
