Chapter 194: A Gentleman Strives Unceasingly

    

e scolded her granddaughter, "What did you do to tease your Uncle Da Zhuang Call him uncle."Jia Yin reluctantly called out, "Uncle!""Oh my goodness, Fu Niu understands words!" Da Zhuang exclaimed in s...The other two were also looking over, their eyes showing surprise. 。Such an outstanding young man, how come he's missing half his palm Although the wound seems to have been treated well, and the scar isn't particularly hideous or terrifying, it's still not aesthetically pleasing. 。Mr. Wen looked at Jiaren, who was half-lowering his head. There was no anger or shame on his face. Mr. Wen couldn't help but love this disciple even more. At such a young age, being able to be so calm was not easy. 。He briefly recounted the perils he encountered while crossing the mountains, emphasizing how Jia Ren risked his life to save his younger brother. Afterward, he focused on practicing his left-handed calligraphy, achieving some progress. 。The three gentlemen all changed color, their hearts filled with a mixture of surprise and worry. After hearing everything, the gentleman who had first called Homey's hands clumsy felt deeply ashamed. 。"Such a good child, if you don't mind, could you show us some of your writing We dabble in calligraphy ourselves." 。“ Jia Ren nodded in agreement. Soon, the paper was laid out and ink was ground ready. After thinking for a moment, he wrote a line of characters: “The heaven moves powerfully, gentlemen should emulate it by striving unremittingly!” A teenage boy, his left hand had only been practicing writing for half a year. While he couldn't be said to be amazingly talented, there were few in the world who could compare to him. He was much better than many people who had practiced calligraphy for seven or eight years. 。"Not bad, not bad! The strokes are steady and flowing, sometimes with a touch of sharpness, showing the way of a gentleman!""Indeed, compared to this, my own writing seems quite inadequate." 。"People often say that hard work is important, but I say that talent is the most important. Although this child lost half a hand, his handwriting with his left hand will surely shine in the future. 。" My dear brother, Master Tong Yuantang from Kyoto's Tangyuan Tang has also passed away. He was a renowned calligrapher of our Heavenly Martial faction, known as the "Left Hand." Perhaps someday, if there's an opportunity, I can bring this child to visit him. If he could receive some guidance, it would be immensely beneficial for the child. " 。Mr. Wen, seeing his disciple being praised, was also happy and nodded in agreement. 。"I'm busy every day and don't have much free time to teach this child. I plan to send him to the Luo'an Academy." 。It is said that Mr. Tang will also teach at the academy, which is a win-win situation. 。" Haha, no wonder you invited us here to play today, it turns out you had plans all along. 。"Yes, there are children from our family at Luo'an Academy. Your disciple hasn't even entered yet, but you've already found him some classmates." 。"Several people jokingly teased Mr. Wen, but they didn't get angry. " 。Their nephews and nieces are all good students with decent character. The only problem is that they were born into wealth and privilege, so they don't really understand the hardships of ordinary people. 。If a fellow scholar like Jia Ren from humble beginnings were to become your friend, it wouldn't be a bad thing at all. 。After a few jokes, everyone went to soak in the hot springs. The house was naturally more private, but there were more people by the pond. A few greedy for excitement all ran over there. 。Jiā Rén got some free time, so he went back to Gǔkǒu. Lǐ lǎotài and Lǐ lǎo'er and Lǐ lǎosi were all waiting there with their legs crossed. 。Jia Yin wasn't worried. Mr. Wen used to be somewhat decadent and weak, but the power of love is great! Since Mrs. Cui left him, he's had a burst of energy. 。Now he is not only an Imperial censor, wielding words like blades, scaring both old established families and nouveau riche into submission. He acts with caution, ensuring that every move he makes succeeds. 。If he wasn't sure, he wouldn't have brought people. 。As expected, Jia Ren hurried back, his whole face beaming with joy. 。"Mommy, Daddy, I'm going to study now." 。My teacher found me a study hall called Lu'an, inside there is also a master who writes with his left hand. 。"Really That's wonderful!" Old Li pulled her grandson, nearly welling up with tears. 。Since Sunzi injured his hand, there has been a stone in everyone's heart at home. Now that it can finally be completely removed. 。Jiāhuān even hugged her elder brother, turning around twice with joy, so happy she was going crazy. 。"Hongying, Mr. Wen is so busy, but he hasn't forgotten about Jiaren's matter. We should thank him properly." 。"Let's make some good dishes at noon!" Li Laotai shouted to her daughter-in-law. She also called out to her second son, "Make sure you record everything clearly in the accounts book, we're paying for this ourselves, don't use public funds." 。"Understood, mother." 。Li Lao Er was also delighted to agree, his heart filled with immense gratitude. If not for his poor cooking skills, he would have loved to cook it himself. 。Just then, the village head happened to stroll by. Hearing such good news, he waved his pipe and shouted 。"Jia Ren is also a child of the village. Studying is a great thing. How can he not recognize his roots when he succeeds in life We must settle accounts fairly! It's time for everyone to congratulate Jia Ren!" Li Laotai thought about it and didn't beat around the bush anymore, "Alright, listen to the Village Head," 。From now on, Jia Ren should study hard. When he's finished his studies, he will be the pride of our village. 。" As expected, the village chief was even more pleased upon hearing this. 。Everyone was laughing and having a good time, but Li Er, the second son of the Li family, remembered his elder brother. So he excused himself and went to find Mr. Wen. 。Mr. Wen happened to have settled a few friends, who came over for tea and water. 。Li Laoer then recounted the events of last night, and finally added, "Sir, we don't know if our eldest brother has some reason for what he did, so we dare not approach him." 。I just wanted to find out more about that family. I heard they were a branch family of a powerful clan, and their main line also had many officials and scholars. 。"Mr. Wen nodded in response, saying, "Our family, the Cui family, and even the Liu family have all been here for generations. We are naturally more familiar with this place than others, making it easier to gather information." 。Don't worry, I'll let you know. 。 " Good, thank you, sir. 。Our family can't help much, but we have troubled you many times. 。"Li Laoer spoke from the heart, and there was a hint of guilt in his words." 。Mr. Wen actually laughed, "We are comrades who were born and died together. Jiaren is my disciple too. As they say, 'A teacher for a day is a father for life.' Technically speaking, I should be the one vying to be your father! Let's just skip the formalities." 。Li Lao'er also laughed, this matter is over. 。Mr. Wen and several friends had a hearty lunch, even drinking a few glasses of wine. When they were slightly tipsy, they went into the hot spring pool and the alcohol quickly evaporated. 。When the sun set in the west, they bid farewell with a sense of ease. 。The next day, Li Lao'er couldn't contain his excitement. He brought Jia Ren and Jia Yi with him to see what Lu'an Academy was like. 。The account books of the mountain valley were handed over to Liu Biao's wife. 。Liu Sao, being a native of the Jiangnan region, had been studying and practicing calligraphy since childhood. She was known for her gentle and meticulous nature. 。 These past few days, she has been helping out in the logistics department. Every night, she keeps track of the accounts with Li Laodui. It's just in case something happens to Li Laodui, so that the accounts for Shan Gu won't be unattended. 。By dusk, things were basically wrapped up here in the valley. The accounts were clear and settled. 。Everyone was happy, the village head personally assigned eight work points to Liu's wife and let her help Li Lao Er from then on. 。This is the second-highest work points among women in the village, the first being Tao Hongying. 。The women felt that Liu's presence had improved their standing, and they treated her with even more affection. So they started asking Tao Hongying to cook two dishes for them, and brought out a pot of wine to celebrate Liu's arrival in a simple way. 。The men knew, they didn't dare to stop him at all. In private, they joked, saying they were worried about losing their status in the family. 。Now the women in the village also receive work points and earn wages, even sometimes not much less than the men. 。When I was in a bad mood, I could still scold a few words. Now, I don't dare to say a word. 。the most worrisome. Tomorrow, when I see good paper and pens again, I will definitely buy some more to reward my great nephew."Li Lao'er quickly waved his hand, “Don’t waste that money, Jiaren is my b...
