Chapter 424 Genius
The brothers Guo Peiyi and Guo Peizhang had a good sleep in Jiang's house and felt relaxed.
Without their father forcing them to study every day and beating and scolding them at every turn, the two children are smiling again.
Especially the thirteen-year-old Pei Zhang. In the past, he always felt that his mind was foggy, nothing he saw was clear, and he couldn't concentrate on reading any books.
Now, his whole brain seemed to be awakened by something, and he felt much clearer.
He tried to pick up the books used to decorate the room, opened a page at random, read it through in his mind several times, closed his eyes, and could actually recite it.
When he opened his eyes again, he couldn't believe it was real!
It was not until his younger brother pushed the door open in the early morning light and saw his red cheeks from slapping himself that he realized that this was not a dream.
He had just slapped himself more than ten times in a row. He never believed that he could recite poems and books by reading them silently a few times.
It's really incredible.
It was just the simplest Thousand Character Classic, but it took me more than a year to memorize it!
"Brother, what's wrong with you?"
"Pei Yi, take it quickly," he handed the book to his brother, "open to any page and read the first sentence."
Seeing that he was still stunned, Pei Zhang hurriedly urged him, "Hurry up."
"Oh," Pei Yi flipped a page casually, "I often read about the Yue people's visit to Guo..."
There was a word he couldn't read, so he just mumbled it out.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Pei Zhang directly read out the rest of the text.
"Every time I read about the doctor who went to Guo to make a diagnosis, or saw the expression on the face of the Duke of Qi, I could not help but sigh in admiration at his talent."
"I wonder if the scholars of today have not paid enough attention to medicine, and have not studied the art of medicine, either to cure the illnesses of their rulers and relatives, or to save the poor and humble from hardship... They are only terrified when disaster strikes..."
Pei Zhang was reading with his eyes closed, and Pei Yi was flipping through the book in his hand, so busy that he couldn't even see with his eyes.
"No, brother, when did you learn this book?"
This is "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", a medical book.
Could it be that I am interested in studying medicine?
"I don't know. When I woke up this morning, I felt full of energy, especially my mind, which was very clear."
"I picked up a book at random, glanced at it twice and I could actually recite it!" Pei Zhang said in surprise.
Pei Yi was also happy for his brother, "Really? Brother, if that's the case, then you're a genius!"
The two brothers were making so much noise that Guo Rufang, who was dressing up in the room, couldn't stand it anymore and came out after only finishing half of her hair.
"What's all the fussing so early in the morning? We're staying at someone else's house, we can't be so rude!"
"Yes, mother, I know I'm wrong!" Pei Zhang quickly admitted his mistake.
Pei Yi was still yelling foolishly, "Mom! My brother has become a genius! He can recite this book just by looking at it once!"
Guo Rufang, who had been frowning, widened her eyes in shock when she heard the second half of her son's words. "Seriously? You didn't try to scare me?"
"Of course it's real." Pei Yi raised his head proudly, like a victorious little rooster. "Come on, brother, carry one on your back for mother!"
"Okay, mother, can you please pick a page at random and start?" Pei Zhang was a little shy and nervous.
"Yeah." Guo Rufang took the book, closed her eyes and randomly flipped through a page. She didn't start reading from the beginning, but picked a random place.
Surprisingly, after she looked for several places in succession, her eldest son could easily recite the following content.
This is such a surprise!
"People often say that those who are smart will become smart sooner rather than later. My son is probably the one who is slow to learn." Guo Rufang hugged her two sons with red eyes.
She had hoped in the past that her son would suddenly become wise one day, but she had to wait for more than ten years.
When other children could recite the Three Character Classic, my son was still learning to read.
When other children had already started learning the Four Books and Five Classics, my son still couldn't recite the complete Hundred Family Surnames.
Other people's children have participated in the imperial examinations and more or less obtained the title of Tongsheng, but my own son... well...
No wonder Sun Chengli said he didn't want the two children.
Guo Rufang calmed down for a long time, and the tears on her face were blown dry. Then she remembered that she should let Jiang Mengrou know.
"Let's go, it's time to let your Aunt Rou take a look. Who knows, maybe we are just benefiting from her."
"They say Xiao Mingyue is a lucky star, right? You brought her back yesterday, maybe that's when she opened your eyes."
Pei Zhang didn't feel that there was anything wrong with what his mother said. Instead, he felt that it made a lot of sense.
I have been living in a muddle for so many years, how come everything is going well today after I spent time with the princess yesterday?
It must be the princess's credit.
"Yes, mother, we should go and visit. You can go and get dressed first. We will wait here."
Guo Rufang then remembered that she had only half of her hair tied up in a bun. She felt so embarrassed that she said, "Oh, I totally forgot. You two just wait here obediently. I'll be right out!"
"Puchi" Pei Yi laughed out loud.
Such a lively and cheerful picture has only appeared in my dreams before, but now it is actually unfolding before my eyes.
Under the long-term oppression of his father, Pei Yi became cautious at a young age and would overthink from time to time. Now he is much better and has some youthful aura.
……
When Guo Rufang and her group arrived at Jiang Mengrou's main courtyard, everyone was already there.
The children who had eaten their fill were already playing on the sidelines, while the adults were drinking tea and chatting.
As soon as Guo Rufang entered the room, she threw herself into Jiang Mengrou's arms with red eyes, "Rou'er~~~~"
"Sister Fang, what happened?!"
Jiang Mengrou's heart skipped a beat. Could it be? "Is Sun Chengli causing trouble again?"
"No, no, it's a good thing, it's a good thing!" Guo Rufang wiped her tears and pointed at Pei Zhang, "Pei Zhang, come forward quickly."
"Yes." Guo Peizhang had difficulty walking, so he leaned on his brother, bowed to Jiang Mengrou, and told her everything that had happened since he got up today.
Everyone present was surprised. Mingyang was very curious about this. He hurried to the study and took out several obscure ancient books with his brother.
"Brother Pei Zhang, how about we try it again?"
"Of course!" Pei Zhang had heard that Mingyang had achieved the title of scholar at an early age, and he admired him very much.
Pei Zhang took the books and read them silently in his mind over and over again.
Everyone around held their breath, afraid of disturbing Pei Zhang's thoughts.
In just a cup of tea, Pei Zhang closed the book and returned it to Ming Yang, "Brother Ming Yang, I have read it."
When Mingyang took the book, he was excited. In such a short time, the other party could recite the entire ancient book from beginning to end?
Hiding the shock in his heart, he tried to make his tone appear calm, "Okay, then I'll ask you."
"Well, I'm ready."
