Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 149 Is This Disciple Stupid?

Wei Dongliu and Jiang Lian sat side by side under the sycamore tree in the courtyard, listening to the sound of reading aloud from inside.

According to Witch Jiang, those who stayed in the private school to continue studying after school was over must belong to the most honest kind.

Wei Dongliu agreed with this. After all, he also went to high school in his previous life, and he knew what it was like to be a problem solver—it was a struggle to stay and read for a while even when the bell rang after school.

Speaking of which, why is Fellow Daoist Jiang so enthusiastic about helping me? Seeing that it was still early, Wei Dongliu asked casually.

You and I hit it off, why not help you? Jiang Li's eyes rolled and he gave him a charming sideways glance.

There are illusions mixed in here, and the Kunlun mirror is already numb, so I can only block it all silently.

Wei Dongliu didn't notice it, and just continued to ask:

How is it a coincidence method?

Fate, do you need an explanation? Jiang Liyan put her hand on his lap and said coquettishly, The little girl fell in love with fellow daoist at first sight, if fellow daoist doesn't dislike her, she is willing to recommend herself as a pillow...

How many children do you want to have after marriage? Wei Dongliu asked suddenly.

I don't want to have a baby. Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, then said, It's too troublesome to take care of the child.

Then I'm sorry, I can't accept it. Wei Dongliu moved his body away.

Jiang Liyan was silent for a moment, and suddenly couldn't help laughing out loud, tears streaming down his face.

It's really interesting, you. She wiped the corners of her eyes and said, We are all practitioners, what's the point of a child?

What's the point of that woman? Wei Dongliu asked her back.

Jiang Liwen was stumped when he heard the words, and it took a long time for him to become angry from embarrassment.

Well, it turned out that it was premeditated and used words to block me here!

From the very beginning, Wei Dongliu didn't believe her so-called love at first sight lie, but deliberately went along with the flow and blocked her with the talk of having a baby.

It seems that get out of class is over. Wei Dongliu said suddenly.

He saw a group of teenagers pouring out from the private school, half-children were at the most active age, and they couldn't wait to go to the suburbs to release paper kites.

The old school teacher also came out of the room, holding a scroll in his hand, his expression seemed a little tired and bored.

After the disciples and the school teacher had left, Wei Dongliu walked to the window lattice, and saw a young man still sitting in a corner of the school, concentrating on his books.

I saw that young man with a full sky, a high nose bridge, and a simple and honest appearance.

It's just that his brows are tightly frowned, his lips are tightly pursed, and he looks like a scumbag who said I've worked hard to understand, why can't I understand.

This person is honest and loyal at first glance. Jiang Lifan smiled from the side, Friend Wei, does it meet your requirements?

Whether it fits or not, you have to ask first. Wei Dongliu walked into the school hall and came to his side.

The boy looked up, got up quickly, and saluted respectfully:

Hello teacher.

Wei Dongliu waved his hand, indicating that he doesn't have to be cautious, and didn't clarify that he is not a private school lecturer, but just asked lightly:

May I have your name?

Teacher, my disciple's surname is Guo Mingjin. The boy replied.

Wei Dongliu:? ? ?

Guo Jin? He couldn't help laughing and said, It's a good name. What book are you reading?

The disciple is watching The Legend of Gu Liang.

Is there anything you don't understand? Wei Dongliu waved his hand.

Guliang Biography is one of the thirteen classics of Confucianism. Luo Yan had read it in Yuqing Temple before to pass the time.

Back to the teacher, the disciples basically don't understand it. Guo Jin said honestly.

puff! Jiang Lian outside couldn't help laughing, Wei Dongliu couldn't help but frown and said:

Since you don't understand, why don't you ask the teacher?

Back to Teacher. Guo Jin said seriously, The teacher said, 'If you read a hundred times, you will see its meaning'. My disciple has already read it sixty-seven times.

Hahahahaha! Jiang Liwen laughed so hard that he almost rolled on the ground, Wei Dongliu also hesitated.

The first impression this young man gave him was actually quite good, but now it seems... This is not being honest and honest, this seems to be stupid!

Subconsciously, he wanted to give up and leave, but on second thought, this young man was called Guo Jin after all, could he be a typical example of great wisdom but late blooming?

Let me ask you. Wei Dongliu continued to ask, If you read it a hundred times and still don't understand, what will you do?

The disciple went to ask the tutor. Guo Jin replied.

If the school teacher says that if you read it a hundred times and still do it, it means you don't have the talent for reading, what should you do?

When Guo Jin heard the words, his thick eyebrows became tangled, and he said after a while:

Then the disciple changed to another teacher and continued to study.

Oh? Wei Dongliu was a little surprised, But why?

If Guo Jin said then don't read it, he promised to turn around and leave immediately, but he didn't expect this young man to have a stubborn side.

Return to the teacher. Guo Jin said seriously, My mother once said before she was alive that merits and demerits are right and wrong, and you should not listen to others.

If the school teacher says that I have no talent for reading, then I must first confirm whether it is true, otherwise it will be 'false belief in others', which is against my mother's instructions.

Wei Dongliu pondered for a moment, then slightly changed his mind.

In this way, this young man is not stupid, but pure in mind, which can be seen from his taking the words of his late mother as his standard.

In other words, simplicity of mind can often be equated with loyalty, but it is the talent that Wei Dongliu values ​​most at this time.

Your mother has passed away, so is there anyone else in your family? He continued to ask gently.

No more. Guo Jin shook his head, Before my mother died, she sold the family house for money, and asked the village chief to give it to a private school as a guarantee, so that I could live in the private school and study.

Wei Dongliu nodded, this mother is quite calculating.

Guo's mother died when he was young, and it is impossible to keep the family property. In the end, it will inevitably be divided up by distant relatives who don't know where they come from.

Therefore, the family property was sold in advance, and the village head was guaranteed (the village head must have benefited from it) and handed over to a private school in the city, in exchange for the private school to take Guo Jin in. It was called a boarding school, which was actually an apprentice.

The private school charged a large amount of tuition fees, and the village head guaranteed supervision, so naturally they would not refuse to let Guo Jin enroll.

If Guo Jin is successful in his studies, the private school will try his best to cultivate them. Even if he is a scholar, the teachers in the school will be honored.

If he can't read the grades, the private school will get tired of him sooner or later, and it's impossible for him to live in him for a lifetime... But at that time, he will most likely be able to read and write, and help the villagers write letters to his family, so he won't be able to make ends meet.

The mother did her best to arrange for her son before she died.

Let me ask you. Thinking of this, Wei Dongliu said in a deep voice, Are you willing to learn from me?

Guo Jin was stunned for a moment, then asked:

What is the Tao?

Wei Dongliu suddenly got stuck. It's kind of scary for you to ask this question!

What is Dao? This question itself points directly to Dao.

Laozi once said, Tao can be Tao, very Tao, which means that the Tao that you can understand at this level cannot be the real Dao.

Seeing that Wei Dongliu couldn't answer, Guo Jin said empathetically:

Thank you teacher for your attention. I have no plans to apply for another teacher for the time being. You'd better hire someone else.

Also please Gao Ming used the wrong idiom!

Wei Dongliu left the school with a broken face, and saw Jiang Liwen covering his small mouth with his left hand, leaning on the wall with his right hand, and his shoulders were twitching.

What is Jiang Daoyou laughing at? He asked with vacant eyes.

I didn't laugh. Jiang Lian tried to calm his voice.

You are obviously laughing! Wei Dongliu became furious, You never stopped!
