Chapter 921: Scratching Ears and Cheeks

Gathering a bunch of country children who are too young to work, and letting them memorize poems, memorize ninety-nine songs, and learn elementary cultural knowledge from an early age, this was originally just Zhang Shou's initial behavior after he found out that he had to quietly understand this new world first.

He knew that this kind of thing might not have any effect, and even the effect of enlightening the people's wisdom was likely to be limited, but in the spirit of doing better than not doing well, he still did it seriously anyway.

But he was able to pick out two teenagers who were quite sensitive to mathematics and writing from the peasant children who watched him teach him to memorize poems and ninety-nine songs, among which Deng Xiaodao had a way to take the official examination, and Qi Liang, who had "family history", passed the county examination in one time, which was purely unexpected.

Therefore, since Miss Zhu didn't disturb his class, he didn't take her to heart when she was listening outside or eavesdropping.

After instructing Deng Xiaodu, he began to talk about plane geometry to the two of them - even though these two people may not have the opportunity to use plane geometry in their lifetime, he has always felt that if mathematical logic is cultivated well, people will benefit from it for the rest of their lives.

Of course, how well Miss Zhu outside would hear it, then he couldn't care about it.

Zhu Ying poked her head out as she listened, however, when she found that Zhang Shou was standing in front of a white wall with her back to her, writing and drawing on a white wall with cotton thread dipped in water, and after a while, Miss Zhu was completely dizzy. That's not all, Zhang Shou is drawing pictures and dictating the topic at the same time, she doesn't understand it at all!

Especially when Zhang Shou dipped cotton thread in water to draw straight lines, tied to the end of the brush to draw circles, all kinds of drawings, those graphics are extremely complicated, and will disappear with the disappearance of water stains after a while, she is even more dizzy, and even can't help but admire the two rural farmers sitting down. You know, Zhang Shou only said it once, how good a memory does this have to be to remember?

Soon, she discovered another problem that she didn't pay attention toβ€”Zhang Shou was drawing with his left hand! Thinking of the clumsy handwriting on the bookshelf, she finally realized that she understood why he couldn't write well.

The left-handed sword is easy to practice, but it is definitely difficult to write with the left hand!

This wandering was for a while, and when she came back to her senses, she saw two young men sitting on a small stool, each with a wooden sand table on their laps, writing and drawing with sticks. Only then did she realize that they were copying the title in this way. When she saw the two of them thinking seriously, as if they were solving the problem, she finally couldn't help coughing lightly.

However, Zhang Shou certainly looked back at the door, but the reaction she gave made her very angry. Instead of coming out to answer her questions, he put his index finger to his lips and made a silent gesture to her.

At this moment, she suddenly couldn't hold back any longer, glared at him hatefully, then turned her head and left.

This was the case for dinner last night, and this morning is still like this, when Deng Xiaodu, who was admitted to the junior office, just asked Deng Xiaodu, who was admitted to the junior office, to inquire about the inside story of the marriage book, Zhang Shou also used the excuse that he couldn't sleep when he heard about his relatives, and now he dislikes her for being too noisy!

"It's just a few questions, just write it clearly in black and white and send it down, and you can use it so much...... Ahh

The more Zhu Ying thought about it, the more indignant she became, and she couldn't help complaining, a person rushed out in front of Leng Buding, she couldn't help but be startled, and when she found out that it was Ah Liu, she realized that she not only went and returned, but also eavesdropped on Zhang Shou's class being debunked at the door, and her pretty face suddenly blushed.

Seeing that Ah Liu didn't say a word and turned sideways to give way, she breathed a sigh of relief. Although she disliked this guy for being silent before, it seems that it is a good thing now, at least she is not so embarrassed now!

But she had only walked two steps, only to hear Ah Liu say a clueless sentence from behind her: "Paper and pen are very expensive." ”

Although Miss Zhu didn't know Ah Liu as well as Zhang Shou, she also understood at this time that the complaint she had just complained about was still heard by this taciturn servant. Growing up in a wealthy family, she naturally didn't know how much paper and pen it was, but when she thought of the scene that had just come all the way from the village, she could guess that this price might be unbearable for ordinary farmers.

But she was holding back the fire in her heart, but she still couldn't hold back: "Can't Ah Shou buy paper and pens for them?"

As soon as the words came out, she regretted it a little, but it was too late to take it back at this time. Worry-free Literature Network

After all, from the few words she heard before, she could know that Deng Xiaodu, who was a junior official in the exam before, had already thanked Zhang Shou for his kindness, so why did she complain that Zhang Shou had never given them paper and pen in vain?

"The young master's monthly money is only 500 yuan, and he bought grain, rice, and meat to supplement their family, otherwise, their family will not let them work less and eat for nothing. Qi Liang also owed a lot of debts, and almost sold his land. While teaching him arithmetic, the young master helped him hire people to take care of a few acres of cotton fields, and he could barely pay off a little debt in the past three years. ”

This time, Ah Liu's words were rarely more: "Moreover, the young master said that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish. ”

Zhu Ying couldn't help but be speechless. Especially when she thinks of the good wolves at home, she throws them away, and the writing paper is often thrown out of a basket a day, she has always been accustomed to it, but now that she thinks about it, she can't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

It was the first time she had known the rich and the poor so closely.

She didn't speak again, but walked forward silently, and before she knew it, another question came to mind.

Is it true that Zhang Shou just mentioned that he can memorize the Four Books and the Five Classics? Who is the old gentleman who quietly taught him the history of the classics and arithmetic? What is Zhang Shou's knowledge, and in addition to the history of the order, he can also teach a student who has passed the county examination!

In the temporary school building left by Qi Liang's father, Zhang Shou, who was watching Deng Xiaodao and Qi Liang meditating and trying to solve geometry problems, held his hands and guessed why Zhu Ying went and returned.

In all fairness, this glamorous daughter has a good personality, and she can even be called reasonable, not the most common kind of arrogant daughter. Zhu Ying's first impression on him was even better, and he also knew that he ...... In other words, the first impression of his face on Zhu Ying must be good. However, there was a moat between them.

If the door is not the right household, they are not of the same class as each other!

Therefore, without waiting for Miss Zhu's interest in him to pass, maybe someone from Zhao Guogong's Mansion will come to pick her up today!

Zhang Shouzheng was distracted, but suddenly caught a glimpse of Deng Xiaodao scratching his ears and cheeks, entangled in biting the wooden stick in his hand, and clearly couldn't solve this geometric problem that required two auxiliary lines to solve, so he smiled and raised the corners of his mouth.

When he looked up as if he was crying for help, he hooked his index finger and walked out. After leaving the house and waiting for a while, he saw Deng Xiaoduy tiptoeing out.

"Little sir, can you give a hint?"

"Hehe, you kid likes to compare with Qi Liang!" Zhang Shou didn't know this kid's thoughts, and after a smile, he asked, "Doing questions is different from writing articles, you need to change your brain, turn around twice outside, maybe you will." ”

"Where is it so easy. Deng Xiaodao had a bitter face, and he was not at all proud when he claimed to have solved the three arithmetic questions in the Shuntian Mansion Ya Na Exam. Seeing Zhang Shou but smiling silently, he suddenly thought of the news that his uncle said, hesitated again and again, and finally said in a hurry, "Little sir, there is something I have thought about and decided to tell you." ”

He took a deep breath, then lowered his voice and said, "When my uncle took me into the house for the first time, I deliberately pretended to be curious about the situation in our village, and turned to our fish scale book. Little sir, the fields around here are all recorded in the name of a person surnamed Zhu, could it be that your mother was deceived in the first place, and who did she put the fields in? This is not good, you will suffer a big loss if you don't have a land deed!"

If Zhu Gongquan revealed that the Zhang family was supported by Zhao Guogong before, and then when he saw his mother Wu's reaction, Zhang Shou already felt that this matter was true, then at this time, Deng Xiaodao made a confirmation, and he no longer had any luck.

This is also to blame him, just because he once asked from the situation from the surrounding tenants, he believed it to be true, and did not think about the unthinkable thing that there would be a child son-in-law in the world!

Alas, for the sake of people raising him for so many years, even if he can't be a son-in-law, he should take proper care of that eldest lady!
