The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 7

(Signed a contract, some rewards for monthly tickets or something, make a list of new books, and get more exposure.)
In other words, under the intimidation of the patriarch, a group of bastards were forced to go to cram schools. Old man Cui was eloquently speaking "The Analects of Confucius" on the top, like a book from heaven, except for the fifth younger brother Xiao Yao who was listening carefully. Otherwise, no one wants to listen.

Those who should sleep should sleep, and those who should read small articles read small articles. They did not interfere with each other. The scene was very harmonious for a while, but Xiao Qinzhi felt something was wrong in the dark. How can you do useless work if you are scheming.

The more Xiao Qinzhi thought about it, the more flustered he became, his brows furrowed, he vaguely guessed something, and immediately reminded everyone that this might be a well-planned scheme, it was better to restrain himself, so as not to be caught.

However, at this moment, no one has listened to the advice, they all dealt with the matter hastily, and they should do what they should do afterwards. Seeing this, Xiao Qinzhi stopped talking, silently put away the small article, and asked They leaned against the window, putting aside a little distance.

After a while, the corner of the window was gradually covered by a cloud of shadows, and a gloomy face slowly appeared. If it wasn't the patriarch, who else could it be?

Like a ghost dean, he unexpectedly made a move to return the carbine, and it happened that Xiao Shu, the big man, was sitting under the window near the side of the road, fascinated by the small article, showing a lewd smile on his face.

Without the slightest precaution, and without the slightest concern, Xiao Shu was caught by his patriarch Laozi just like that.

The sharp-eyed Xiao Qinzhi wanted to remind him aloud, but it was too late, so he had to wipe his head away, covered his eyes, and couldn't bear to look directly at the bloody scene that followed.

The patriarch was really pissed off this time, he forgot all about the demeanor of a scholar, he rushed in holding a wooden stick, rolled up his sleeves, patted Xiao Shu on the back, and beat him up with his hands.

"Nizi! Nizi! How can you blame me?" The patriarch yelled while beating his son vigorously, "I asked you to read, and you showed me this, it really pissed me off."

"I'll let you see."

"Let you see!"

"I beat you to death!"

"Rebel!"

……

Every time the stick falls, it is accompanied by a father's roar and a son's wailing, which is stubborn unwillingness, and even more realistic helplessness.

After dozens of beatings, the patriarch stopped until the wooden stick was broken, and the poor Xiao Shu, who had not healed his old wounds, was newly wounded and cried out in pain.

After hammering Xiao Shu and searching for small articles, the patriarch was still not relieved, picked up half of the wooden stick, and stared at the whole row of bastards behind, reciting "The Analects of Confucius" one by one, if he couldn't recite it, he would be beaten , Even those who sleep suffer from unwarranted disasters.

Xiao Qinzhi was the last one sitting on the side of the lake. He threw the little fat man's "Mao Poem" into the lake at the first time to destroy the evidence.

Xiao Qinzhi never took the initiative to memorize books, but for some reason, listening to his fifth younger brother recitation and old man Cui's nagging every day, he would recite it without knowing it, probably because of a bug in the soul wearer, and his memory is super good.

As expected, without exception, all the previous ones were "broken into the sand", and they were beaten. Finally, it was Xiao Qinzhi's turn. For some reason, the patriarch seemed very angry, and he didn't search Xiaowen, let alone asked Xiao Qinzhi. Whether Qin Zhi can recite, he will be beaten with a wooden stick.

This is not playing according to the routine, Xiao Qinzhi was so frightened that he quickly put his hands in front of his body and shouted hastily:

"Don't hit, don't hit, I can recite, I can recite."

There was only an inch of close contact between the wooden stick and Xiao Qinzhi, but it was taken back in time. The patriarch took a deep breath and said coldly:

"Recite, I can't recite double copies."

"The Master said: "Study and learn from time to time, isn't it also said?Have friends come from afar?People don't know but don't feel stunned, it's not like a gentleman..."

Xiao Qinzhi swallowed his saliva, and under Man Shutang's astonished eyes, recited ten chapters fluently, thinking that he could finally escape a beating.

"Where are the remaining ten chapters?" The patriarch was unmoved, and still asked in a cold voice.

"I've only taught ten chapters, and you haven't taught the rest yet?" Xiao Qinzhi replied truthfully, "If you don't believe me, you can ask the teacher."

"You bastard, it took me so long to memorize half of the Analects of Confucius. If you don't teach me, you won't ask?" The patriarch instantly raised his face, implying something, and instead of asking old man Cui, he said angrily: "You I’m hungry, how can I find something to eat without being told? It’s no use talking, so stretch out your hand.”

Xiao Qinzhi wanted to cry, this old thing was clearly unreasonable, he took a deep breath, and kept telling himself in his heart to "be patient", a little intolerance would lead to chaos, so he stretched out his right hand reluctantly.

The patriarch said: "Left hand!"

Holding his breath, Xiao Qinzhi stretched out his left hand again, but fortunately, he was only hit with three sticks.

Unexpectedly, after being taught a lesson for a while, the patriarch did not leave. He kicked Xiao Qinzhi aside, knelt down and sat down, changed his smiling face in an instant, and complimented old man Cui:
"I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Cui. Can you start from Chapter 11, which I haven't revised for a long time, and I'll put it as an audition, so I can review the past and learn the new."

"It's okay!" Old Man Cui shook his hand and said with a small smile.

But the bunch of bastards in the back row are in pain. They all have to cheer up and sit upright. No matter if they understand or don't understand, they can't get along anyway.

Xiao Qinzhi is the one who hurts the most. Think about it, when you are in class, the dean sits next to you and sends you love when you disagree. What kind of torture is this?

孽 孽!
Fortunately, time passed quickly, old man Cui finished his "advanced chapter", it was already past time, just arrived at noon, the sun shifted in mid-day, and finally it was time to rest, Xiao Qinzhi's back was sore and his butt hurt from kneeling, and he was eager to get away.

"stop!"

The patriarch yelled suddenly, everyone stopped and hesitated, Xiao Qinzhi asked with a bitter face, hastily:

"Second Uncle, what else?"

The patriarch waved to the rest of the people and said: "You go first." He waved to Xiao Qinzhi and asked:
"Do you understand Mr. Cui's 'Advanced Chapter'?"

"I don't understand." Xiao Qinzhi said honestly, the old man Cui likes to drop his book bags in lectures, and he speaks obscure classical Chinese, so it's strange if he can understand.

The patriarch frowned, and the tip of the wooden stick in his hand trembled, but he was thinking of countermeasures, but Xiao Qinzhi thought he was going to be beaten again, so he quickly said:
"But it doesn't matter. I have almost memorized what my husband said. I should be able to understand it when I go back and think about it."

The patriarch frowned even tighter in an instant, even his beard was shaking, and he said hastily, "Tell me."

"The Master said: "Advanced in rites and music, you are a savage; backward in rites and music, you are a gentleman.If I use it, I will start from the front..." Xiao Qinzhi repeated the old man Cui's words in detail, not bad.

"Let's go!" The patriarch said, Xiao Qin's buttocks slid, and he disappeared in an instant, and disappeared in the school.

Looking at the back of Xiao Qinzhi's disappearance, the patriarch took a long breath and couldn't help getting excited, his heart suddenly surged, and he thought:
"Could it be that the person who revives my Xiao family in Lanling is the one of Qin?"
