Chapter 6, Counseling

The young girl nodded, resting her chin on her hand as she looked at Zuo Xiaoyou, blinking her eyes and smiling playfully: "Brother Zuo, you really know a lot"

What happened?" Left Xiao looked at her.

Do you know about "the sinking fish, the falling goose, the closing moon, and the shamed flower"? asked Zuo Xiaoyou with a smile.

I don't know. The young girl shook her head and wrinkled her nose, seemingly uninterested in the beautiful woman

Indeed! Master. "Zuo Xiaoyou sat down on the other side of the table, placing the book on the table, and said: "Our country has experienced a century of turmoil, and many books have been destroyed. I want to try to collect as many old books as possible; perhaps they will be useful in the future"

Evening

Creating advertisements during this period was quite challenging, as each one had to be handwritten. Unlike modern times, where thousands of copies can be printed effortlessly

Upon learning that Zhou Guangyao was unemployed, Ye Wen set aside his pride and went to Liang Gen at the newspaper to seek a job for Zhou Guangyao, which somewhat alleviated his inner sense of guilt

However, that evening, after having dinner at home, Ip Man encountered a sad event while out for a walk.

"It's nothing." The young girl smiled broadly and waved her hand, saying, "Goodbye, Brother Zuo."

You two, stop chatting and go wash your hands; it's time to eat. Zhang Yongcheng placed two plates of dishes on the dining table

Understood. The young girl nodded and said: "Many books describe beautiful women using these eight characters."

"It will get better," Zuo Xiaoyou comforted. "At least the Japanese invaders have been driven away by us. Although Hong Kong is still under British control, the war has ultimately ceased. After a few more decades of development, everything will improve."

That day was at 5 PM, and Zuo Xiaoyou was reading at home. Zhang Yongcheng had been sleeping in his room since lunch due to pregnancy-related drowsiness. Ye Zhun had just finished school and ran out to play by himself, while Ye Wen was in Ye Zhun's room drawing small advertisements

Facing the astonished young girl, Zuo Xiaoyou asked, "Do you know who the Four Great Beauties of ancient China are?"

I will talk to you about this later. Left Xiaoyou waved his hand and said: "Let me first tell you about Diao Chan, one of the Four Beauties. You must have heard of the name Diao Chan, right?"

Zuo Xiaoyou, having graduated from high school, although he left school over ten years ago, still remembers his middle school knowledge quite well. Moreover, the middle school curriculum of 1950 is even less challenging than the knowledge taught in the upper grades of elementary school during Zuo Xiaoyou's time. Therefore, when Zuo Xiaoyou effortlessly solved the difficult problems in the girl's assignments, she became reliant on him.

"Alright, it's time to eat," Ye Wen said with a smile as he stood up and called out to Ye Zhun's room, "A Zhun, it's time to eat"

After watching the girl leave, Zuo Xiaoyou finished the melting ice cream and left after settling the bill

This is taken for granted. Left Xiao Right Dao: The so-called "drowning fish, falling wild geese, closing the moon, and shaming flowers" refers to the four great beauties of ancient China. Drowning fish is Xi Shi, falling wild geese is Wang Zhaojun, closing the moon is Diao Chan, and shaming flowers is Yang Guifei

Arrived

Ye Wen did not mention this matter to anyone, and naturally, Zuo Xiaoyou was unaware of it. Moreover, he was not in the mood to concern himself with such trivial matters at the moment, as he was currently dedicating part of his energy to tutoring the young girl in her studies

Currently, the only thing Ip Man does is teach his disciples martial arts, and his life is quite comfortable

Ah You, you went to buy books again!" Upon seeing Zuo Xiaoyou return with an old book, Ye Wen said with a smile

"Good." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded slightly and said: "The world is in turmoil, please pay attention to safety on the road"

However, even if the progress is not significant, it is sufficient to maintain the authority of the senior disciple. The young disciples under Master Huang have all been taught a lesson by Zuo Xiaoyou, and no one dares to defy him as the senior disciple. Ye Wen is also extremely satisfied with Zuo Xiaoyou, as many trivial matters are handled by this disciple. For instance, the difficult task of "collecting tuition fees" is also resolved by Zuo Xiaoyou, saving Ye Wen from the embarrassment.

This sorrowful scene deeply pained Ip Man. Although he had paid the money for Zhou Qingquan, witnessing his old friend, who had once helped him escape to Hong Kong, end up in such a plight filled him with shame, nearly bringing him to tears

Did you not say that if there is anything you do not understand, I should come to you! The young girl took out "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" from her backpack, holding it with both hands to cover her mouth and nose, her eyes filled with a smile

The door opened, and a girl in a white dress, carrying a backpack, sweetly called out.

Zhou Qingquan, who was in a state of confusion, was chased and beaten for stealing roast duck. His son, Zhou Guangyao, pleaded desperately, but due to a lack of money, he could only watch helplessly as his father was beaten.

For some reason, Zuo Xiaoyou always felt that the girl looked somewhat familiar, yet he could not recall where he had seen her before

Yip Man sighed, "The world is in a bad state!"

"Because I read a lot of books," said Zuo Xiaoyou with a smile, "Knowledge changes destiny, so you should also read more in the future, because the knowledge you acquire cannot be taken away by anyone, and there will always come a day when it will be useful."

Perhaps there is a girl in the real world who resembles her! This is the only thought that Zuo Xiaoyou can entertain

"It's nothing..." The young girl pursed her lips, standing up with a slight blush, and said: "Brother Zuo, thank you for explaining so much to me today. It's getting late, I need to go home."

The film "Ip Man" features only one female lead, which is Ip Man's wife, Zhang Yongcheng. If we are to mention anyone else who might leave an impression, it would only be the aunt who hangs the sheets. Aside from that, there are no other female characters in this film, which leaves Zuo Xiaoyou quite puzzled as to why she feels a sense of familiarity with a little girl she does not know. It is very strange.

The girl showed a hint of hesitation

"How did you come here?" Left Little Right was very surprised. Since the day they parted, he had not seen the girl again and thought he would never encounter her again in the future

What is unofficial history? The young girl does not understand

In recent days, Zuo Xiaoyou's progress in martial arts has not been significant, which is quite normal. Martial arts, by nature, is not a sport that yields short-term results; in fact, mastering a single set of techniques can take a lifetime. After experiencing a rapid growth phase in his abilities, Zuo Xiaoyou has now entered a stable transition period, during which he can only rely on diligent practice, gradually honing his skills.

Oh? The young girl seems to have regained her interest: "Brother Zuo, why do the Four Great Beauties have such peculiar titles?"

I have heard of it," the young girl nodded. "Lu Bu's play with Diao Chan, Guan Gong's slaying of Diao Chan under the moon, I have heard people mention it.

It must be said that the young girl is indeed bold; ever since parting ways with Zuo Xiaoyou that day, just three days later, she truly went to Zuo Xiaoyou's home.

History is essentially just that. Left and Right smiled and said: "It's enough to have a general understanding; there's no need to fuss over specific examples. If you take it too seriously, you'll lose."

Zuo Xiao and You also smiled, turning to the side: "Come in!"

Seeing the look of anticipation on the girl's face, Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and nodded: "Sure, I live on the second floor, room 202 in District XX. If you have any questions, feel free to find me"

Since the Ip Man family of three moved in, the daily meals at home have been taken care of by Zhang Yongcheng. Zhang Yongcheng's culinary skills are quite good; although not on par with those of a restaurant chef, he is capable of preparing excellent dishes and brewing fine soups. He truly lives up to his background as a well-bred young lady.

Brother Zuo

It is a folk legend

Ah? The girl was very surprised: "Not at all?"

From that day on, the young girl would almost every afternoon run over to find Zuo Xiaoyou, sometimes asking Zuo Xiaoyou to help her explain the parts of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that she did not understand, but gradually it transformed into extracurricular tutoring

On this tranquil afternoon, a young girl came to knock on the door

Indeed! Ye Wen smiled and said: "It will be fine."

Oh. The young girl understood and then sighed: "So even a historically renowned figure like Diao Chan can be fictionalized! Indeed, Chinese history is quite imprecise"

A few more days passed quietly and peacefully

The girl is currently in the second year of junior high school, which corresponds to the second year of middle school. Every day after school, she is assigned some homework, which poses a considerable challenge for her, especially in physics and mathematics, making her studies quite strenuous.

No. The person on the left nodded affirmatively and said: "In the original history, Lü Bu had a romantic dispute with a minor concubine of Dong Zhuo, which provided Wang Yun with the opportunity to use a scheme of discord to incite Lü Bu to kill Dong Zhuo. As for the person Diao Chan, she does not appear in the official historical records; the name Diao Chan only appears in unofficial histories."

Hmm. The young girl nodded repeatedly, finished the ice cream in her cup, licked her lips, and said: "Brother Zuo, thank you for telling me so much. In the future, if I have any questions, can I ask you to explain them to me again?"

In comparison, Ip Man, this old bachelor, is of no help at home. He cannot cook, cannot sew clothes, and cannot do housework; the only heavy labor has been taken over by his disciple, Zuo Xiaoyou. Every day when he returns home, he can only idle away by drinking tea

Zuo Xiao You returned home. Zhang Yongcheng, with his prominent belly, was cooking in the kitchen, while young Ye Zhun was doing his homework in his room. The old宅男 Ye Wen was sitting in the living room drinking tea

Hehe. Left Xiao shook his head with a smile and said: "In fact, there has never been a person named Diao Chan in history."
