Chapter 13 Meticulous Care "These two old scholars are quite knowledgeable." "Today, becoming a scholar is like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge. It is no less difficult than getting into a 211 university in my previous life. These two old scholars have made great achievements in Chinese studies." As the profound and easy-to-understand cultural teaching progressed, even Li Dingguo, who had lived two lives, found it interesting and touching. He was also an undergraduate in his previous life, but that doesn't mean he can look down on these two old scholars. On the contrary, Li Dingguo couldn't even recognize all the traditional Chinese characters that were exactly the same as those in his previous life! Not to mention the Confucian classics, just the calligraphy and the basic introduction to Chinese studies are enough for him to learn for a while. However, this is not surprising. More than 99% of domestic college students were like this in their previous lives. China's long historical heritage and culture, as well as the countless valuable civilizational heritage knowledge left by our ancestors, are basically unknown to domestic college students in the 21st century, and most of them know nothing about them. However, this was caused by the general environment at the time and was a helpless move, and it was difficult to say whether it was right or wrong.
After a round of preliminary literacy teaching that lasted for half an hour, Li Dingguo turned the pages of the book, followed the two old scholars, recited the enlightenment article in a rhythmic manner, and identified the characters, feeling quite touched. Because of the foundation laid in his previous life and his current spiritual attributes, which were twice that of an ordinary person, although Li Dingguo could not be said to have a photographic memory, after comparing it with the books and reading it several times, he had basically recognized the traditional Chinese characters that had just been taught. But he did not dare to act on his own. He still listened carefully to the teachings of the two old scholars and studied very seriously. Li Dingguo was very interested in ancient Chinese culture, and his enthusiasm for learning was no less than any other orphan here. On the one hand, it’s because he really doesn’t understand. On the other hand, he really wanted to take advantage of this rare learning opportunity to become a truly cultured person. Now that we have this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the true ancient culture of Chinese civilization, I certainly won’t miss it. Only by knowing books can one understand reason. In the extremely harmonious learning atmosphere, an hour had passed unknowingly. "get out of class is over." As the old scholar's voice sounded, Li Dingguo came back to his senses from his concentrated study. More than a dozen orphan young geniuses stood up one by one and bowed respectfully to the two old gentlemen. There was a light in their eyes that was completely different from before. This is the power of knowledge. Even though they have just started to gain enlightenment, there have been some obvious changes. The young man who sat at the same table with Li Dingguo was almost as tall as him. This guy's name is Ai Nengqi. Without much thought, Li Dingguo already knew that he was the adopted son with the highest martial arts value under Zhang Xianzhong in the history of his previous life. In terms of martial arts alone, Ai Nengqi is undoubtedly ranked first among the "Twelve Guardians" under Zhang Xianzhong.
He is the same age as Li Dingguo, but a few months younger than Li Dingguo. These four evil geniuses identified by Zhang Xianzhong were arranged at the first two desks closest to the two gentlemen, side by side in the front. Sitting at the desk next to them were two other geniuses: Liu Wenxiu and Zhang Huier. Sun Kewang, the leader of Zhang Xianzhong's four adopted sons, would certainly not appear here. In the history of his previous life, although Sun Kewang was the adopted son of Zhang Xianzhong, he was four years older than Zhang Xianzhong! This is not surprising. It is not uncommon in history for adopted sons to be older than their adoptive fathers, and there is nothing to say about it. Historically, although the four adopted sons of Zhang Xianzhong were the most famous among his subordinates, it does not mean that Zhang Xianzhong only had four adopted sons. He accepted a total of twelve adopted sons, who were called the "Twelve Guardians". Among these adopted sons, most of them stood out from the children's camp under his command and were adopted by Zhang Xianzhong. It was with the help of these loyal and capable adopted sons that he was able to gain full control of his rebel army. In the history of the past, judging from the cohesion and control of the rebel army, Zhang Xianzhong was undoubtedly the number one in the late Ming Empire. At least when Zhang Xianzhong was still alive, there was no major internal chaos. "I wonder if Sun Kewang has defected to Zhang Xianzhong now?" "But even if it hasn't happened yet, it will happen soon." Li Dingguo couldn't help but think in his heart. In the history of the previous life, Sun Kewang was not only the first adopted son to follow Zhang Xianzhong, but also the leader of the four adopted sons. Judging from this point of view, Li Dingguo was not wrong to think so. What’s somewhat magical is that the four monstrous and talented young men here are all the same age, with only a difference of months. According to the information Li Dingguo already knew, his own month was the largest, followed by Liu Wenxiu, then Ai Nengqi, and Zhang Huier was the last. However, their statures are the tallest among these young men. According to Li Dingguo's guess, this should be related to the martial arts qualifications of these four people. …… Although the two old scholars who were teaching in a relay style had announced the end of the get out of class, Zhang Xianzhong, who had just stood up with them, did not leave. He motioned the two old scholars to leave first, and then said to the sixteen talented young men, "Your temporary residence from now on will no longer be the large warehouse." "I have arranged for people to clean up the rooms next to the school." "Also, I have asked someone to prepare two sets of new clothes and shoes for each of you! I have also asked someone to prepare bath water for you in the bathroom next to the wing!" "Wait a moment, I'll have someone take you there and assign you two rooms." "Just follow the seating arrangement just now. No unauthorized team formation is allowed." "You guys are all stinking now, and you don't even have a pair of shoes. Remember! From now on, every day when you study here, you must wash yourself clean for me!"
"Since you have become a cultured person, you must study etiquette seriously in the future when conditions permit. You must learn all aspects of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness! Etiquette such as speech and behavior is also a compulsory course for cultured people!" "Of course! Learning martial arts is the most important thing. We cannot avoid the important things and neglect the practice of martial arts!" It is undeniable that Zhang Xianzhong put a lot of effort into cultivating these talented orphans. However, if we want them to succeed as quickly as possible, we have to take all these details into consideration, which is a helpless move. Now they are like a blank sheet of paper, knowing almost nothing and having to learn everything from scratch. Especially in this critical period at the beginning, we must have enough patience to help them succeed as quickly as possible. After saying that, Zhang Xianzhong shouted loudly outside the door, and two of his trusted subordinates who had been waiting outside strode in, led the sixteen talented young men, and took them to their new home to settle down...
