Chapter 8 Accepting Apprentices

Although Manbao recognized a lot of words, she still couldn't understand the stories that were too complicated, and she could only understand them based on her feelings.

Fortunately, these books are different from those on Mr. Zhuang’s bookshelf, because they are in plain language. As long as you can recognize the words and read them all, you will not understand them all, but you may still understand the story.

Manbao became excited and read the book with relish.

Although he was a scumbag, he didn't see any misery at the beginning. The first story was the tenth-ranked emperor, an emperor named Kangxi.

It is about him raising his sons like a gu. In order to ensure his rights, he specially let his sons fight and balance.

Man Bao didn't see how this father was bad at first, and just looked at it like a story. The system reminded her: "Look at the end of these sons, are they all miserable?"

Man Bao was stunned for a moment and asked, "They are all princes and emperors, what's wrong with it?"

Koko analyzed to him, "Look, they are princes, but most of them were eventually banned and exiled. Do you know what banned and exiled?"

Man Bao said with confidence: "I don't know."

The system choked and explained in detail to her the ban and exile. After all, it was to go to jail and serve her sentence.

Manbao was shocked, "My father is the emperor and his brother is the emperor. Do they still have to go to jail?"

Koko said: "That's why he said he was a scumbag."

Manbao pouted, feeling that this father was not very good. She looked back and forth twice and figured out the meaning of this story.

This is actually a father who wants to protect his rights. In order to balance, he deliberately let his sons fight over and over again. In the end, he blocked three sons himself. Then he chose one son to be the emperor, and the emperor's sons encircled a few more and exiled a few more, so his sons were all miserable.

Manbao didn't like this story very much, and she had a headache reading it. She didn't recognize the names of several people, so she pointed to Keke.

Keke said that he not only taught her how to pronounce the word, but also explained the meaning of the word.

Manbao flips into the next story and then cries.

This father is much worse than the one in front of him because he starved his daughter to death, just because his daughter took a piece of cake from the neighbor.

Manbao was still a kind child. She cried so hard that she angrily said to Koko: "This father is really bad, why are he still a great official?"

Koko: "He is a clean official and he doesn't have a conflict with a scumbag."

Although it seemed that the honest official was good, Manbao decided to hate him. The little girl was about the same age as her and she was starved to death. How uncomfortable it would be.

Manbao's eyes were red when he cried.

When Mr. Zhuang came back from get out of class, the system scanned the person to the door and immediately confiscated the book in Manbao's hand. So Mr. Zhuang seemed to see Manbao sitting alone on the steps and crying, his eyes were red.

Mr. Zhuang's grandson was a little older than Manbao. He liked her the most on weekdays. He felt very distressed for a moment. He walked forward two steps and asked softly, "Manbao, who bullied you?"

Man Bao wiped his tears and grabbed Mr. Zhuang's sleeve, raised his head and asked, "Sir, are you a good father?"

Mr. Zhuang was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and said, "Manbao, my grandson is older than you. Even in terms of seniority, he should be grandpa."

"Wuwuwu, sir, are there many bad fathers in this world who are just bullying children?"

Mr. Zhuang asked, "Is your father scolding you?"

Manbao shook his head, "My father is so nice to me, he is not a bad father."

Mr. Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Manbao. Knowing that she was still young, he sat next to her and asked patiently, "Then why do you ask such a question?"

"I saw a story about a clean official who had little food at home. His daughter was hungry. When the neighbor saw her, he gave her a piece of cake. When his daughter ate it, he was very angry when he knew that he locked up and starved to death."

Mr. Zhuang twitched his cheek and said, "Where is such an official?"

Manbao trusted the book that Keke took out and insisted: "It's just there, I saw it with my own eyes."

Mr. Zhuang knew that he could not be serious with the child, so he said, "Even if there is, such officials are also people who seek fame and reputation. They are not worthy of their reputation. Just a piece of cake, why is it? If you are truly honest, you will give two pieces to your neighbors."

"Huh?" Man Bao blinked and tried hard to recall what he wrote in the book just now. He scratched his head and said, "It seems that it was not just because he ate a piece of cake, saying yes, saying it was because his daughter had contacted a foreign man. Sir, what is a foreign man?"

Mr. Zhuang laughed, "That's even more nonsense. The outsider is me to you, and the students in the school are to you. Although there is a difference between men and women, it is not as good as being so cautious. If there is, it is either a lunatic or a devil."

Mr. Zhuang said: "The former is crazy, and it really seems that the latter is doing it on purpose, exchanging his daughter's life for another reputation. For such a person, you will hide as far as you can in the future. But I have never heard of such a story. Where did you see it?"

Man Bao immediately said: "It is a book called "The Ten Evil Fathers in History."

"Since it's history, there must be a record. I wonder which dynasty and generation the honest official you just mentioned was from?"

"People from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty."

Mr. Zhuang couldn't help laughing out loud, touched her little head and said, "It can be seen that all the fabricated characters have experienced it. Where is the Ming Dynasty in this world?"

Manbao blinked, but still believed Koko and asked it in his heart: "Koko, have you lied to me?"

The system that has been silent actually produced a pleasant feeling. It said: "No, host, there is no Daming in your space, it does not mean that there is no other space. If there is no now, it does not mean that there is no future. Just like me, in this space, this era, only you own me, but in the era where my inventor was in, I was not uncommon. I dare not say that everyone has one, but as long as I have money and are willing to buy it, everyone can buy one."

Man Bao seemed to understand but still summarized his own understanding, that is, Keke did not lie, but Mr. Zhuang said it was right, so she decided to listen to both.

She looked up at Mr. Zhuang and asked, "Sir, do you know which bad father is in our history?"

Mr. Zhuang asked, "Why are you interested in this? You must know that the son does not tell the father's fault. Even if the father has something wrong, few people will spread the matter to the world to know, so that the father loses his face and the family loses his face. What are the benefits for him?"

When Manbao was stunned, Mr. Zhuang simply used this to tell her a gift, and then said, "Manbao, you are a smart child. I know you love to read. Since that's the case, then study hard. You have finished learning the "Thousand Characters" and it's time to learn the "Analects of Confucius". When the "Analects of Confucius" is finished, the teacher will tell you about the "Rites"."

Manbao was stunned, and the system couldn't help but remind her: "Host, why don't you thank you teacher?"

Man Bao came back to his senses and immediately knelt on the ground, "Sir, Teacher!"

Manbao kowtowed to Mr. Zhuang.

Mr. Zhuang regretted for a moment as soon as he said that, but when he saw her kneeling on the ground and calling him the teacher with a happy look on his face, the regret disappeared again.

Forget it, although she is a female apprentice, she is smart and cute, so let’s talk about comfort.

Mr. Zhuang helped the child up and said, "Go back and tell your parents what happened today."

"Why, didn't the teacher never let me tell my parents about this?"

Mr. Zhuang touched her head and said, "Since you are asked to kneel down, you must be legitimate."

Mr. Zhuang touched her head and sighed quietly.

When I first met Manbao, she was just a little girl who had just stood up with the wall. It seemed that she was only eight or nine months old and could barely stand firm with the wall.

Xiao Qian came to cook because she had just taken this job, so she cherished it very much. She always came early, not only to clean inside and outside, but also to chop firewood and cook rice and cook.

So I couldn't help but neglect the child. At that time, Manbao climbed to the threshold of the classroom, turned over and hugged him and listened to his lecture.

At first, Mr. Zhuang was a little angry and thought that Xiao Qian could not do things, so he put down the book and hugged her and went to find Xiao Qian.

I originally wanted Xiao Qian to take care of her child, but I saw her chopping firewood with an axe and sweating profusely.

Mr. Zhuang would be invited by Landlord Bai to teach in such a mountain village, so his family would not be rich. In fact, he was so poor.

In my memory, his mother took him with him like this, so Mr. Zhuang hesitated for a moment and did not call Xiao Qian. He turned around and carried Manbao back, so he let her sit on the threshold.

Fortunately, the child was well-behaved, so she sat on the threshold, not crying or making a fuss, and was eating when she was giving her things. When she saw the students reading aloud, she also spoke with herself.

Later, the first word she said was "Mr.", and Mr. Zhuang insisted on this statement.

This child is really smart. As soon as the one-year-old child could speak, she followed the students to read "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang..."

The youngest student he taught was six years old. He read it ten times and remembered it, but he forgot it the next day, but the child remembered it very clearly.

Of course, she only shouted and didn't recognize words.

So Mr. Zhuang copied a thousand-character text and gave it to her.

Later, Mr. Zhuang liked her even more because he discovered that Manbao not only memorized the book quickly, but also recognized the words quickly.

After talking a few times, she could remember that word.

Why is such a smart, cute and kind child not a boy?

Mr. Zhuang felt regret more than once.

Then he would not help but teach her, teach her to recognize words and teach her the principles. He also found some books to practice calligraphy, and then gave her the manuscript for her to collect.

Although the words of accepting her as her disciple were suddenly expressed, the thoughts were not for a day or two, just because she was a girl, so she was hesitant.

In fact, he is just a scholar who was dropped out of school by the provincial school. His knowledge is limited, so why bother to mind those false names?

Do you really want to gain fame like the bad father she calls him?

Mr. Zhuang rubbed Manbao's head even harder and made up his mind to say, "You can go find your sister-in-law now and ask your parents to choose a good day to bring you to your door."

Manbao left in a daze.
