The disgraced official I took care of was actually Zhu Houcong's childhood friend.

Yang went to great lengths to ensure Lu Wei could study.

In the study at home, there are all kinds of books.

However, what Zhou Chu needs to guide us with now are all basic skills.

For example, the Three Character Classic, the Thousand Character Classic, or the Memorial to the Throne on Dispatching the Troops.

The pageboy's job was to carry the young master's books and bring his writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

That inkstone doesn't look cheap.

As for ink, Zhou Chu didn't know much about it.

However, it's unlikely that Yang would buy something cheap for her son.

Students with poor grades have a lot of stationery.

Zhou Chu couldn't help but mutter a complaint to himself.

Lu Wei was also filled with trepidation at this moment.

After all, he had long heard of this teacher's great reputation.

He was known for being strict and old-fashioned.

He was afraid that he would displease the teacher and be sent home in the end.

At that point, it won't just be him who loses face, but the entire Lu family.

Although he was extremely unruly.

But they also know they have to save face.

"Brother Chu, what should I do if I upset the teacher?"

Lu Wei arrived at the academy and looked at Zhou Chu with some trepidation.

"Don't worry, young master. Madam said that the tutor will give you a month. I will try my best to remember what the tutor teaches and help you when I get home."

Zhou Chu gave Lu Wei a reassuring look.

Hearing this, Lu Wei immediately relaxed and his previous tension disappeared.

"Then you'd better remember this carefully."

Soon, the two met Yang Shunzhi.

A scholar in his forties.

She didn't look that old.

Despite having a long beard, he didn't seem particularly old-fashioned in his speech and behavior.

"You're that kid from the Lu family?"

Yang Shunzhi looked at Lu Wei and asked.

"Yes, Master."

At this moment, Lu Wei was incredibly well-behaved, showing none of his usual mischievous behavior at home.

"From today onwards, I will begin to teach you. If you can satisfy me after one month, I will accept you as my disciple."

Master Yang stroked his beard and said.

"I will follow the teachings of my master."

Lu Wei performed a disciple's salute.

"I won't teach you the Thousand Character Classic and the Three Character Classic, which are for beginners. You should have already started your education. Today, I will teach you the Memorial on Dispatching the Troops. Before you can study, you must first be a good person and learn to be loyal to the emperor and love your country."

Master Yang ignored Lu Wei and began to read the "Memorial on Dispatching the Troops".

He truly deserves to be called a renowned teacher.

He managed to read the "Memorial on Dispatching the Troops" with such vivid expression and emotion.

As far as Zhou Chu was concerned, even the most outstanding recitation contestant he had ever seen in his previous life was far inferior to the recitation of Master Yang in front of him.

After Yang Fuzi finished reading, he looked at Lu Wei.

"Now, read it aloud for me to hear."

Upon hearing this, Lu Wei immediately stood up, extremely nervous.

As she stood up, she looked at Zhou Chu with a hint of helplessness.

Zhou Chu gave Lu Wei a reassuring look, which calmed Lu Wei down a bit.

Lu Wei picked up the book and began to read aloud.

He stumbled and stammered throughout, and even misread some of the words he didn't recognize.

This made Master Yang frown.

"Okay, you don't need to read anymore."

Finally, Master Yang could no longer endure this torment and said...

Lu Wei lowered his head in shame.

"Your homework for today is to first read this 'Memorial on Dispatching the Troops' thoroughly, and be able to write all the words in it from memory. Then copy the 'Memorial on Dispatching the Troops' twenty times."

Master Yang realized that Lu Wei's foundation was very poor, much worse than that of the average child.

In this case, the only way to build a foundation is through rudimentary methods.

There's no shortcut to success.

Lu Wei's face fell when he heard this.

His biggest fear was being punished by copying books.

Copying books is extremely tedious and the most grueling task.

Given his personality, he can't sit still at all on ordinary days.

It's difficult to copy even five times, let alone twenty times.

However, Master Yang didn't care about any of that. After saying that, he got up and left.

Clearly, they didn't want to stay here and suffer any longer.

"Brother Chu, could you help me copy this?"

Lu Wei looked at Zhou Chu with a pleading expression.

Zhou Chu shook his head upon hearing this.

“Young master, our handwriting is different. If I copy it for you, the teacher will probably be able to tell at a glance. With Teacher Yang’s personality, he hates cheaters the most. If that happens, he probably won’t be able to come tomorrow in less than a month.”

Zhou Chu naturally wouldn't help Lu Wei copy the book.

Leaving aside the issue of handwriting.

If he really cheated, Lu Wei's studies will be a complete mess.

This matter could not be kept from the lady in the end.

By then, his time as a pageboy would be over.

Upon hearing this, Lu Wei scratched his head.

"That's true, so what should we do then?"

At this moment, only Lu Wei and Zhou Chu were in the study.

Zhou Chu knew very well that rote learning and forced studying were the most painful things for a child Lu Wei's age.

To explain the "Memorial on Dispatching the Troops," one cannot simply talk about the "Memorial on Dispatching the

We must also talk about Prime Minister Zhuge Liang's dedication to the cause until his death.

We must also talk about how Prime Minister Zhuge Liang turned the tide and saved the collapsing empire.

We should also talk about Prime Minister Zhuge's regrets.

We must talk about the romance of the Shu Han dynasty.

These are the kinds of things children of this age like to hear.

Only after understanding the story behind it did I develop a sense of admiration for Prime Minister Zhuge.

There's no need to memorize the "Memorial on Dispatching the Troops" anymore.

I memorized it after reading it once.

These were originally supposed to be said by Master Yang.

Zhou Chu believed that Master Yang would not speak in such a romantic or heroic way.

However, they will still give a general overview.

The reason it hasn't been mentioned yet is...

However, he hasn't yet considered Lu Wei as his disciple.

They just don't have the patience.

"Young master, I read the Records of the Three Kingdoms a few days ago. Why don't I tell you the story behind the Memorial on Dispatching the Troops?"

Zhou Chu said.

"Okay, I love listening to stories."

Lu Wei is still a child at heart.

He clearly preferred listening to stories to copying books.

Zhou Chu began to recount Liu Bei's three visits to Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage and his entrustment of his son to Zhuge Liang at Baidi City.

The story begins by recounting how Zhuge Liang saved Liu Bei from collapse after his death.

The story begins by recounting how Zhuge Liang began studying military strategy in preparation for the Northern Expeditions, and how his military skills continuously improved during the five expeditions.

It is said that before his first Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang wrote a memorial to Liu Shan.

After Zhuge Liang's death, Liu Shan said that all the people mentioned in the "Memorial on Dispatching the Troops" had been used up, and there was no one else who could be used. So he used the descendants of these people and held the Shu Han state alone for decades.

It tells the story of the relationship between Liu Shan and Zhuge Liang.

It tells of Prime Minister Zhuge's regrets.

It is said that even today, people in Shu still wear mourning clothes for Prime Minister Zhuge.

Lu Wei became more and more engrossed in listening.

By the end, my eyes were red.

He held Zhuge Liang in high esteem.

Previously, reading the "Teacher's Compendium" was like reading a book written in a foreign language; now, reading it again, it suddenly becomes clear, like a father's instructions to his son before leaving home.

Zhou Chu spoke very quickly, and not in detail; he finished speaking in just two hours.

"Young master, try reading it twice more."

Zhou Chu thought he should strike while the iron was hot and have Lu Wei memorize the "Memorial to the Throne" while he was still in good spirits.

Lu Wei had no reason to object and immediately began reciting the "Memorial to the Throne".

The previous stumbling and stammering is gone.

It was read exceptionally smoothly.

It was now lunchtime.

Zhou Chu took out the food that his wife had prepared in advance from the lunchbox he had brought and placed it on the table.

Lu Wei ate while silently reciting the "Memorial to the Throne".

If Madam Yang were to see this scene, she would probably be so shocked she wouldn't be able to close her mouth.

Is this still her unruly son?

Soon, Zhou Chu collected the food that Lu Wei had left over.

"Young Master may have memorized the 'Memorial on Dispatching the Troops'?"

Zhou Chu asked.

"That's natural."

At this moment, Lu Wei had never felt that reading was so simple.

The "Memorial on Dispatching the Troops," which I couldn't understand before, I can now not only fully comprehend but also have a complete grasp of the text.

"Then young master, try to recite this 'Memorial on Dispatching the Troops' from memory."

As Zhou Chu spoke, he began to grind ink and lay out paper for Lu Wei.

"Brother Chu, I think you speak much better than the Master."

Lu Wei said, dipping his brush in ink.

"I can't compare to the Master. The Master is very knowledgeable. What I know, the Master also knows. It's just that the Master hasn't really taken the young master as a student yet, so he's too lazy to bother."

Zhou Chu lowered his head and said meekly.

"That's the truth."

Lu Wei nodded, and then began to recite the "Memorial to the Throne" from memory.

Lu Wei has no problem reciting the "Memorial to the Throne" without any problems.

However, there are some characters that I sometimes can't remember how to write.

Whenever he got stuck, Zhou Chu would write the character on the table with his hand.

Lu Wei suddenly felt as if he had been enlightened.

After writing it down twice, Lu Wei could write every single word without any difficulty; it was exceptionally smooth.
