Chapter 311 Young people! There is no harm in learning more

Facing everyone's congratulations, Lord Li was particularly refreshed. Normally, he would not feel any waves in his heart when hearing other people's flattery to please him, but when faced with people praising his son, he would never feel tired when hearing too many words, especially since their son was always uneducated. It was a rare opportunity and therefore it seemed even more precious.

"The old saying is true. A beating will not only produce filial sons, but also talented people. If jade is not polished, it will not become a useful tool. If a man does not learn, he will not know righteousness. I think the current situation does not need to be changed. After all, it is not a big deal for a young man to get beaten. If he can start studying like Master Li, it is no problem to get beaten a few more times."

"I have also heard from the doctor that the children only have superficial injuries and will be full of life after a few days of rest. This is all for their own good. I also think it is better for us not to interfere."

"I think so too. Let the young people do whatever they want. As long as they don't lose any limbs, it's no big deal. We old guys shouldn't get involved."

Everyone nodded in agreement. Although they were in high positions and could arrange careers or a good life for their younger generations in the future, nothing could be better than their hard work!

A blacksmith must be strong himself. Even if they are very capable, their descendants will fall into decline if they do not live up to their expectations. Therefore, no one would not like their descendants to be motivated.

The more capable the descendants are, the easier it will be for them to support them, and the more prosperous their family will be, so isn't it just a few beatings? Not a big deal.

The young master of the Li family just had a relatively developed pain nerve. After being beaten twice, he felt severe pain on his body. He was too afraid to go out. There was nothing interesting in the mansion and he was really bored, so he casually read "The Analects of Confucius". If he had known that this kind of misunderstanding would occur, he would never have touched this "Analects of Confucius" even if he was beaten to death. Unfortunately, it was too late when he found out, and he was almost beaten up by his brothers who knew about it.

He is unaware of this at the moment and is still eagerly waiting to see when the ban will be lifted.

The people who did it were too cruel. The bruises on his body had not gone away after several days. He could only send people to watch him at all times to make sure that the group of people had disappeared before leaving. Anyway, he didn't want to be beaten again.

As for now, Master Ji is making a summary.

"It's normal for young people to fight and quarrel. Everyone is very measured in their actions. Now is the time for the young masters to learn. Before, the adults were busy with court affairs and had no time to discipline them. Isn't it just right now? Wouldn't it be a good story for the young masters of each family to become successful in the future?"

"What the Grand Master said makes sense. These youngsters still need to be trained."

"Yes, first there is bitterness before there is sweetness!"

“Young people really need training!”

They cannot stop the people who are taking action now. Some of the younger generations in the family do show signs of making progress, so let's just leave it at that for now. If they can really achieve something, it will be a good thing.

Watching the few people leave with satisfaction, Master Ji drank a cup of tea leisurely. No matter what, your colorful flowers are indeed amazing! It's not a big deal if you don't hurt your muscles or bones and can get benefits. It's just a few beatings.

Master Ji felt at ease accepting the gift.

Shu Xiaoxiao, who didn't know that many people had failed under the multi-colored flowers, looked at the nearly ten multi-colored flowers she had cultivated and sighed with a worried look on her face: "Master, people say that things are valuable because they are rare. We have cultivated so many of them, so are they worthless?"

"That's your fault. Other people don't even look down on other things." Principal Chu said speechlessly.

He didn't understand. He was teaching personally, but the little apprentice was learning and playing at the same time. He didn't know where the resentment came from, but he was determined to drag all the young men in Kyoto into this. If it weren't for this rare flower, things would have ended badly.

Nowadays, young people, there is no harm in learning more.

"Xiaoxiao, come and take a look. We followed the same steps, but why is yours alive and well, while my grafting seems to have failed?"

Master Chu likes planting and is naturally interested in grafting and cuttings. He follows his apprentice's instructions exactly, so why are the results so different?

His apprentice was about to do a grafting and he happened to be learning from the side, but why did the result seem different from what he expected?

Shu Xiaoxiao also sighed. She had already announced the method of grafting, but even in modern times, grafting is mostly used for trees or plants with thick branches, which have a higher chance of success. Flowers and plants have thin branches, and without the blessing of ginseng water, the possibility of them surviving is really slim.

So I guess there is a way, but not many are successful. It seems that the scarcity of things can still be maintained, and it will be very convenient to sell them for money or give them as gifts in the future.

As for the ones that Shu Xiaoxiao had planted personally by her master, she didn't dare touch them, fearing that Dean Chu would think he had learned it in front of her, and they wouldn't survive without her around, which would be difficult to explain.

The result was that of the eighteen scholars they grafted together, the one that Shu Xiaoxiao was responsible for grew up to be full of vigor and vitality and was immediately successful, while the one that Chu Shan was responsible for had become withered and dying. The contrast was a bit too strong, and Shu Xiaoxiao was speechless.

"This... this... maybe Master, you don't have enough spiritual energy? This kind of planting also requires spiritual energy, right?"

Shu Xiaoxiao squatted beside the eighteen scholars raised by her master, trying her best to make amends, racking her brain to make up reasons.

Headmaster Chu looked at the tragic contrast between the two sides and sighed, "Maybe!"

Anyway, the talent that the young apprentice has cultivated is unique in his life. Maybe it's because he lacks spiritual energy! Just like writing poems, talented students can write a few sentences with full of spiritual energy, which makes people applaud. Those who have no talent can't write a decent poem in a few days. It must be the same reason.

It seems that he really has no talent in planting, but fortunately he has a little apprentice who can help him.

Shu Xiaoxiao:..............

She believed it immediately. Didn't she need to make up two excuses? She was already prepared to make up several more.

It feels like punching cotton.

"Find a way to save these trees, and then come over to continue learning the piano." Master Chu said this and went back to prepare to teach his apprentice.

Shu Xiaoxiao:..............

She changed three instruments in one month. Isn't that enough to prove that she has no musical talent? Why doesn't the master give up?

In Mr. Chu's opinion, the six arts of a gentleman are like compulsory courses in college. You don't have to be proficient in everything, but you have to be good at it!

After all, he is his apprentice, and it is his job as a master to teach and answer his questions, and he teaches seriously.

Shu Xiaoxiao had a good memory. She could barely pass the test of Principal Chu in terms of books. As for mathematics, from modern mathematics in elementary school to advanced mathematics in university, as well as ancient mathematics, Shu Xiaoxiao could master them easily. Even the principal was amazed at her speed. During the class, the relationship between the master and the apprentice became closer.

As for the rest......

Chu Shan was so angry that he wanted to expel the person from his sect.
