Lord Yuan

Chapter 37 Special Treatment
The news that Yuan Shao came from Runan to study with Li Ying soon spread throughout Yingchuan.

Although Li Ying is now just a commoner, his reputation for attracting scholars still makes his mansion often full of seats.

And when the Yingchuan family learned that this outsider actually came to Li Ying's sect through the method of "holding a slip to visit", it naturally caused a great disturbance.

Yuan Shao didn't know the reason. Now he just silently studied scriptures with Li Ying every day. He would often be trained in martial arts by Li Ying alone in the early morning.

Li Ying, who was able to fight against the Qiang people on the border and often came back victorious, was naturally many versions ahead of Yuan Shao in martial arts.

In Yuan Shao's view, his teacher's force value has reached the limit of a first-class general, between 90-99.

And he also possesses military strategies that those reckless men never had. These are also the key things Yuan Shao needs to learn.

Li Ying was not stingy and taught everything he knew to Yuan Shao. As for how much he could learn, it purely depended on his own understanding.

Yuan Shao was kept busy by Li Ying all day long, trying to improve himself day after day.

Yuan Shao and Li Ying were practicing in the courtyard under the scorching sun, and were scolded by Master Li from time to time.

Yuan Shao didn't hold any grudge, he understood that these were all Master Li trying his best to polish his raw jade.

"Do you feel hot?" Li Ying stopped and looked at Yuan Shao, who was tired and sweating profusely but still trying his best, feeling deeply comforted.

Yuan Shao nodded: "It's hot, but compared to students bleeding on the battlefield, this little bit of heat is nothing."

Li Ying was overjoyed. As a soldier, he naturally hoped that his students would not be so panicked on the battlefield. If given the opportunity, he would even want to take his students into the battlefield for training.

Yuan Shao was like this, practicing martial arts during the day, and even though he was sweating profusely, he was still scolded mercilessly by Li Ying.

In the evening, I began to study the classics and annotations of classics.

After dinner, Li Ying would take the exhausted Yuan Shao with him to continue learning the art of war.

Yuan Shao's progress was so rapid that even Li Ying was surprised.

"I've met Master Li." Jing Gu walked in cautiously from the outside. When he saw Yuan Shao sitting under the stage and being taught Confucian classics by Li Ying attentively, he was naturally jealous.

Jealousy was jealousy, but he knew things clearly. Although he had indeed become a disciple of Li Ying, he was just like a registered disciple.

On weekdays, it is difficult to get Master Li to practice alone. Most of the time, Li Ying just lets it go without asking any questions.

And those fellow apprentices who were treated similarly to him were also happy and comfortable.

After all, their purpose in joining Li Ying's disciples was to gain the title of Li Ying's students, and their reputation would soar.

Li Ying was not surprised by Jing Gu's arrival and just asked softly: "What's the matter?"

Jing Gu didn't dare to neglect, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "The student wanted to go to the primary school for a while, but he didn't expect to disturb the teacher. Please forgive me."

Li Ying didn't care. He raised his head and glanced at the sky. It was still some time before sunset, so he said: "Since you are here, let's sit down together. What we are talking about today is Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period."

When Jing Guru received the amnesty, he couldn't care less about the joy on his face and hurried to Yuan Shao's side. After he was seated firmly, Li Ying started today's class.

Li Ying spoke passionately on stage, and from time to time he would quote contemporary stories and his own experiences to fill in the conversation.

Yuan Shao sat in the audience and listened with great interest. When he heard the rise of the story, he would even take the initiative to take over Li Ying's words and talk about his views on Zuo's Spring and Autumn Period.

Li Ying sometimes stopped and pondered Yuan Shao's views. In his opinion, it was a good thing for his students to take the initiative to put forward some different opinions. This showed that he was indeed listening carefully, unlike those who just wanted to Other students who are not known to study classics.

Jing Gu looked at Yuan Shao in shock. He had never thought that someone would stand up and choose another point of view during Master Li's lecture.

The course he just attended was like a wordless bible in his understanding. He didn't understand a single bit of the content. If Li Ying hadn't told him to come and attend the course, he would have been unwilling to stay here. Suffering.

Yuan Shao's initiative and Jing Gu's shock seemed to be two different styles of painting.Li Ying could see it clearly on the stage.

Fortunately, Yuan Shao lived up to expectations and understood everything he taught. He was not like Jing Gu, who only cared for pleasure.

Ugh.

The gap between people is gradually widening.

"Father, it's time for dinner."

Li Wan walked over from the side door gracefully, with a smile on her handsome face and a shockingly plump figure.

Yuan Shao couldn't take his eyes away, staring at the object in Li Wan's hand quietly.

Jing Gu lowered his head and did not dare to look directly.

See no evil, don't listen to evil.

While Jing Gu was still waiting for Master Li to clear the air, Yuan Shao unexpectedly took the initiative and said, "Junior sister's food has become more and more delicious these days. Shao is afraid that if he stays here any longer, he will become a loser. "

Yuan Shao's words instantly made Li Wan smile. She enjoyed spending time with Yuan Shao, even if it was just for a meal.

Seeing Yuan Shao finish the food he cooked in a blink of an eye, he felt even more happy.

Then he turned to look at his father who had a serious face. The food in front of him was almost untouched. Li Wan pretended to be angry and said, "Father, is it possible that the food Wan'er cooked today is not delicious?"

"No, no, how can the food cooked by Wan'er not be delicious? My father was thinking about something before, so he was delayed. Let's eat now. Let's eat now." Li Ying smiled and hurriedly picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating.

Li Wan saw that his father was starting to move, so he turned his attention to Jing Gu who was at a loss.

"Senior Brother Gu, could it be?" Before Li Wan could finish her words, Jing Gu, who was sitting next to Yuan Shao, quickly picked up the food and put it into his mouth timidly.

After swallowing the jujube, Jing Gu said vaguely: "It's delicious."

Jing Gu was eating his food and looked at Yuan Shao beside him unconsciously.

He really didn't understand.

The same people, the same students under Master Li.

Why is there such a big difference in treatment?

Listening to what Yuan Benchu ​​said before, it seems that Yuan Shao has been eating at Master Li's place these days.

Seeing his familiar demeanor, Jing Gu became more and more suspicious.

Could it be that I had to take advantage of Yuan Shao so that I could have a meal in Master Li's house?

No no no.

Jing Gu quickly shook the confused thoughts out of his mind.

How could Master Li deny food to his students? It was impossible.

Jing Gu comforted himself in his heart.

However, how come this meal was cooked by Li Wan himself? Are there no servants in the teacher's house?
Or maybe this is special treatment given to Yuan Shao.

Is this the reason for good academic performance?
