Strategy to develop champions

Chapter 46

Zhao Caifeng put down the work in her hands and raised her head. Song Mingxuan took the opportunity to bring over the needlework and old clothes in her hands, sat on a small stool beside her, and sewed by the light of the fire.

"You need to be careful when sewing clothes. If the hair is frizzy, it is easy to poke your fingers. This place is the top of the knee. You can't just close it like this, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to wear. You have to cut a piece of cloth with a similar color and stick it on. After sewing it It's flat and comfortable." Song Mingxuan said, raised his head and glanced at Zhao Caifeng, Zhao Caifeng remembered that the small piece of cloth the size of tofu that Yang had cut out just now was for this purpose.

Zhao Caifeng snorted softly, took the piece of cloth out of the room, and handed it to Song Mingxuan.Song Mingxuan really sewed it decently.

Taking advantage of Song Mingxuan's sewing stall, Zhao Caifeng looked down at the book Song Mingxuan was reading.The words "The Analects of Confucius" are written on the cover.As Zhao Caifeng who traveled from modern times, although she has not read the Analects thoroughly, she also knows a few articles in it.

Zhao Caifeng reached out to touch the already wrinkled cover, seeing that every page on it was soft and familiar, presumably Song Mingxuan could already know this book by heart.

Zhao Caifeng asked Song Mingxuan, resting her cheeks, "I heard that half of the "Analects of Confucius" can rule the world, is it true?"

Song Mingxuan was concentrating on sewing again, when he heard Zhao Caifeng's question, he put down the work in his hands, seemed to concentrate on thinking for a moment, and then said: "I've never heard of such a talk, the world is so big, how can it be A book can cover that."

"Then why do you want to study? As the saying goes: It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books."

"Where did you hear this common saying? Why haven't I heard it?" Song Mingxuan started sewing again, and when he heard Zhao Caifeng say that, he couldn't help but look up at her, but there was a bit of surprise in his eyes, and he just said, "You There is some meaning in these words, why is it better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books?"

It was only at this time that Zhao Caifeng realized that she was in the wrong, and she didn't know what dynasty it was. Some of the "common sayings" she knew before might turn into "shocking" words when she came here. What should I do?

Zhao Caifeng thought for a while, and then said: "I have always heard people say that you are well-informed, so if you stay at home and read books, you must not know as much as those young masters who can travel everywhere. What you know is all in books. But if it’s not written in the book, you don’t know about it.”

At this time, Song Mingxuan's face was already lighted with a little excitement, and the brows were raised. Looking at Zhao Caifeng, his eyes were filled with a sense of sympathy that coincided with a confidant, and he only said: "You are right, I am I envy those students who can travel around, so I have to study hard, and strive to be admitted to fame as soon as possible, so that I can feed and feed my family, and I can go to a certain position in various places, so I can look around. In my opinion, reading If you have already done this, you must persevere, if you give up halfway, it is better not to know a single word."

Zhao Caifeng raised her eyebrows and glanced at Song Mingxuan, the kid still has some backbone, but I want to see what you can do in the exam.Zhao Caifeng saw that Song Mingxuan talked about these things, and he started to talk a lot. He didn't look like noon. He blushed and had a thick neck because of those messy things, and even broke a pen. Ask him: "In your opinion, those scholars who have never been admitted to Juren after a lifetime of examination are still worthwhile? Is this called persistence? How can I drag the whole family to death..."

Zhao Caifeng observed Song Mingxuan's expression while talking, but saw that his brows frowned slightly, and when he lowered his head again, he saw a drop of blood emerge from his fingertips.Song Mingxuan handed the patched trousers to Zhao Caifeng, with a serious look on his face again, he just said, "If I don't win the exam this time, I will stop dragging the whole family down and go out to find a job by myself."

When Song Mingxuan finished saying this, his face was already flushed, Zhao Caifeng thought to himself, it's all right now, it's just a joke, and it's right again.A child who is obviously only seventeen or eighteen years old, how can he admit death like that!Zhao Caifeng put her trousers in her arms, stood up and said: "Look at the inconsistency in what you said, sometimes you say you must persevere, and sometimes you say you won't drag the family down. I think your words are like farting, and you don't have the slightest bit of accuracy. I won't tell you anymore."

Song Mingxuan didn't expect Zhao Caifeng to be annoyed at this moment, and he didn't understand what he said to poke her again, but what Zhao Caifeng said was so reasonable, it was clearly his fault, so he stood up anxiously, and looked around No one grabbed Zhao Caifeng and said, "Sister Caifeng, I...what did I say wrong?"

"Where did you say wrong, you don't know, do I know?" Zhao Caifeng gave him a look, and took his hand away from him, only to find that his palm was cold, and for some reason, he became a little angry again, and said: "It's so cold, you don't have to do foreign work here, but tomorrow you will catch a cold, I'm afraid you won't even be able to get out of the job!"
