Chapter 55: Your Royal Grandfather Wouldn’t Allow It!

Qi Tai was devastated at this moment. He swore to God that his so-called flow calligraphy was completely made up!
He himself didn't even believe that nonsense, and now someone tells him that he has learned the calligraphy it teaches. This is simply ridiculous!
"Your Highness Yunxun, are you confused from sleeping?"
When the young monks around heard this, they burst into laughter.
"Mr. Qi, he is not confused because of sleep, he is sick !"
"What disease did you have?"
"Soul separation syndrome!"
Qi Tai felt better after hearing what the other princes around him said . At least the kid wasn't fooled by him, but he really had a problem with his brain.
"Zhu Yunhuan, calligraphy is not something that can be achieved overnight."
"If you want to write good characters, you can't do it without three to five years of hard work."
"I know you are eager to learn, but everything must be done in a gradual process. You must not be impatient for quick success..."
Zhu Yunhuan was suddenly awakened when he heard this, especially when Qi Tai said the four words "step by step", which was like a wake-up call to him.
His progress was so fast that it easily aroused suspicion.
Memorizing can be covered up by being smart, but calligraphy is pure hard work. How could he write very well all of a sudden?
In addition, he discovered that Lao Zhu was similar to the capitalists of later generations.
Always testing his upper limit, and then setting the amount of homework for him based on that limit.
If Mr. Zhu knew that he could write quickly and well, he would definitely increase his homework tenfold!
In order to avoid becoming a miserable elementary school monk in the future, Zhu Yunhuan felt that he needed to hide his incompetence and be an ordinary, evil, lazy and happy vassal king!
When Zhu Yunhuan thought of this, he immediately hid the calligraphy he had just written, and then pretended to be well-behaved and agreed.
“Hmmmm!”
"Mr. Qi is right in his criticism. The students are indeed too eager for success..."
When Qi Tai heard Zhu Yunhuan say this, a relieved smile immediately appeared on his face.
"Your Highness Yunxun thinks so. I am very happy for you."
"How's your progress on the homework assigned this morning?"
Although Zhu Yunhuan had memorized the original version of the Analects in his dream, he still looked embarrassed in order to avoid having to take extra classes.
"Reporting to you, sir, I have been reciting for the whole morning, but I have only memorized less than half of it..."
When Qi Tai heard this, a hint of disappointment appeared on his face.
Normally speaking, memorizing more than 200 words in one morning is already a lot, but he always feels that this child can memorize more.
Qi Tai looked at Zhu Yunhuan, who looked ashamed and embarrassed, and suddenly felt that he had gone too far.
This kid has been working very hard, so don't push him too hard.
Seeing that the lunch break was over, Qi Tai immediately returned to his seat and slapped the ruler.
"Everyone, focus, it's time for afternoon class, hurry back to your seats and memorize your lessons!"
"If you still can't recite it today, beware of the Jinyiwei's beatings!"
When everyone heard what Qi Tai said, they immediately returned to their seats and took out their books and started reading aloud.
At this moment, Prince Yu Zhu Gui suddenly stood up and came to Mr. Qi with a copy of The Doctrine of the Mean.
"Mr. Qi, I have something to do today, so I want to end school early. Please check my homework!"
When the elementary school students in the main hall saw how brave Zhu Gui was, they immediately forgot about memorizing the lessons and all stared with wide eyes to watch the fun.
Zhu Yunhuan was even more stunned, exclaiming in his heart, "It's possible to leave school early?"
Qi Tai looked at Zhu Gui and said lightly.
"Put the book on the table and start reciting it."
"promise!"
"Nature is the mandate of Heaven, following nature is the Way, and cultivating the Way is teaching.
The Tao cannot be separated from us for even a moment. If we can separate from it, it is not the Tao..."
Seeing that Zhu Gui had recited it word for word correctly, Qi Tai nodded to him immediately.
"Well, that's good. You can go now."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Gui bowed, then picked up the book and left.
When the princes and grandchildren in the main hall saw that Zhu Gui could leave school early, they all looked envious.
They also wanted to leave school early, but they didn't have the ability and could only continue to sit in their seats.
Only one person seemed eager to try, and he grabbed Zhu Gui before he even walked out of the main hall.
"Uncle Thirteen, wait for me. I'll go with you!"
"you?"
Zhu Gui was subconsciously stunned, then smiled.
“Okay, okay!”
"I'll wait for you at the door!"
After Zhu Yunhuan made an appointment with Zhu Gui, he immediately stood up impatiently.
"Mr. Qi!"
"If I can memorize it, can I also leave school early like Uncle Thirteen?"
Qi Tai smiled bitterly when he heard this. He clearly remembered that when he asked his grandson just now, he said that he couldn't memorize it.
Now seeing this grandson's behavior, I know he just lied!
When Qi Tai thought of this, he felt a headache. This grandson has learned to hide his incompetence at such a young age. He must report him to His Majesty someday!
"certainly!"
"This has always been the rule in the main hall. As long as you can finish your homework ahead of time, you can leave school early."
"Why, you want to try it too?"
"Mr. Qi, I'm not very familiar with it yet, but I want to try it. I wonder if it will work..."
"Of course!"
"If you can't recite it, you will be spanked on the spot, and the punishment will be doubled. You will be spanked twice for each wrong word!"
Zhu Yunhuan was delighted when he heard this, and he also followed Zhu Gui's example and went up to the podium with his book in hand.
"Please check, Mr. Qi!"
Qi Tai pointed at the table, and Zhu Yunhuan immediately put the book on it and began to recite a long passage.
"The Master said, 'To learn and to practise what one has learned from time to time, is that not a pleasure? '
"The Master said, 'It is rare that a man who is filial and respectful to his elders loves to offend his superiors. . . . '
"The Master said, 'Those who are good at speaking and making an ingratiating appearance are seldom kind. .
"The Master said..."
The first chapter of the Analects of Confucius, "Xue Er", has a total of 493 words, and Zhu Yunhuan memorized it all in two breaths.
He could have finished reciting it in one breath, but he took a little longer because he was afraid that if he recited it too smoothly, he would be asked to recite more tomorrow, so he was careful.
As soon as Qi Tai heard where his grandson was stuck, he knew that he was hiding something.
Because normally it is easy to get stuck, but this guy didn't get stuck at all. Instead, he got stuck in places where he shouldn't get stuck. Isn't this intentional?
Although Qi Tai saw through Zhu Yunhuan's little tricks, he still pretended not to notice and just waved at him lightly, indicating that he could go away.
After Zhu Yunhuan was freed, he immediately ran towards Zhu Gui and then pulled Zhu Gui out of the main hall.
"Uncle Thirteen, I want to leave the palace with you!"
"Leaving the palace?"
Zhu Gui showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. Logically speaking, princes and grandchildren who did not have separate residences could not leave the palace at will.
However, when he saw Zhu Yunhuan's expectant face, he couldn't say no.
"All right!"
"But outside is different from the palace. Don't run around outside the palace!"
"Don't worry, I won't run around. I just want to go to the market and see if there's any business I can do!"
When Zhu Gui heard this, he also felt a headache.
"Zhu Yunxun, there is one thing I must remind you, our royal family cannot engage in business!"
"Why?"
"Because your royal grandfather wouldn't allow it!"
