Lu Langzhong's deformed old face was like sleepwalking. Besides, I couldn't help but shudder.

It has been a few days since I was forced to die and was forced to be a "master", and I feel sad when I think about it.

At this moment, seeing Lu Langzhong's old face, he felt cold in his heart inexplicably, as if decades had passed in an instant, and he was already dying.

Just call the master, this disciple of the overlord who is the bow still says "you old man" at every turn, which makes this diaphragm in his heart.

I'm only fifteen or sixteen years old, although my mental age is older, I'm only in my twenties, and in terms of physical condition, I'm completely a bud that hasn't bloomed yet, so how can I become an old man?

However, this is also the fashion of the times, people in later generations are desperate to show less, and people in their fifties and sixties are eager to pretend to be young men, but in the imperial era, they respect the old, and they are called "old", which is an extreme compliment.

Officials let people call themselves masters, big masters, old people, etc., and the old people are the highest honorific title for people, if you are a subordinate, even if you are sixty or seventy years old, you have to call yourself a villain.

The same is true for women, Mrs., Mrs., Mrs., Old Lady, and only then add an old word, which does not represent age, but status, and is worthy of the title of Old Lady when she achieves supremacy in a family.

For example, the old lady of Lijia Mansion in "Dream of Red Mansions" has the highest status in the family, and she is called the old lady and the ancestor in the Rongning Mansion, while Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing can only be called Mrs.

Besides, you either don't understand these things, or you can't adapt to them.

As soon as he heard Lu Langzhong call him "your old man", he immediately felt sick to his stomach and wanted to vomit, but no matter what he said, he couldn't stop Lu Langzhong's supreme respect for the "master".

Lu Langzhong may have received extremely strict training back then, so he attached great importance to the teacher, as long as he was in the house, he refused to sit down, how to pull him can't do it.

What should I do? I had no choice but to go out and "stroll" for a while from time to time, so that the real old man could sit down and rest for a while.

What kind of abuse did this master suffer back then? Otherwise, it would not have been possible to be so self-abusive.

Besides, I couldn't help but think like this in my heart, and I sympathized with this old man in my heart.

Besides, even if he understands the rules, he only stands beside his father when there are people, and when there is no one, the father and son still sit and talk.

Not to mention in front of Chen Musa, there is almost no need to stand, there are many Confucian rules, but the master and apprentice still sit and talk about the Tao, and there is no respect and humility in the court officialdom.

However, since Lu Langzhong's apprenticeship, it has been much easier.

Disciples do their duty. Lu Langzhong remembered this ancestral precept the most, ordinary patients were handed over to him for treatment, and they just checked the prescription and adjusted the medicine.

Besides, when I think back to the beginning, my body is almost paralyzed every night, and I am really tired enough to choke, and I rely on drinking a few glasses of good wine to support me. Later, he gave acupuncture to the old lady of the Zhao family, which almost hurt his vitality.

But strange enough, it was only after seven days that he didn't feel so tired, and after ten days, he was almost at ease, and he had more than enough strength to do it in one go.

These days, he began to ponder the full set of acupuncture and moxibustion methods of one hundred and eight needles, and had some understanding of the profound principles in it, but he felt that it was still a long way off.

Acupuncture must be combined with the meridians and blood flow, otherwise it is a chaotic pricking, not a cure, but a vent.

"Brother, are you out for a stroll again?" Xiao Nier asked as she came out of her room.

"Well, Mr. Lu prescribes medicine, I can relax for a while. He laughs.

"You have a really good relationship between master and apprentice, one is called master and the other is called sir, isn't this master the same as sir?" Xiao Nier covered her mouth and smiled.

"Hey, you even know that?" and was surprised.

"Look at me, I don't know, I also know a little, and I also memorized the three-character scripture back then. ”

Besides, he couldn't help but laugh: "It's amazing, how much can you memorize the three-character scripture?"

"I haven't read the three-character scripture yet. Xiao Nier said shyly.

And laughed.

Xiao Nier stomped her feet and said: "What's so funny about this, there is only one talent in our town, plus Lu Langzhong is a scholar, and there are few others who can write their own names." I'm not bad. ”

Besides, he nodded in acknowledgement. Not to mention that there are not many people in the town who can write their own names, and there are not many people with serious names, it is nothing more than Li Da and Wang Er, these names from the rankings.

"By the way, brother, the books and pens and papers you bought from the pharmacy arrived yesterday, when will you go and see. Xiao Nier suddenly thought of this.

"So fast?"

"What's this, there are cars coming and going every day, and things are delivered with a word, and the things you buy are normal. However, the medicinal herbs you want to buy are missing a few flavors, and I don't know if it matters, they are all in that big house. ”

"Oh, let's go check it out. ”

Besides, he suddenly had an interest, he wanted to take a look at the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and books ordered for the child, as for the medicinal materials, it didn't matter if he lacked a few flavors, and he would naturally be able to get them together in a few days, and he had already avoided those medicinal materials that were not easy to sell in the prescription.

"Brother, are you free now, you don't have to go to ......," Xiao Nier pointed to the clinic.

"Yes, I can rest in the future, this is the advantage of having an apprentice. ”

At this moment, the patients in the house are all coming for follow-up visits, and they basically take the medicine according to the prescription.

Besides, it means that acupuncture should be used as little as possible, and those who can use medicinal materials should still use medicinal materials as much as possible. In the short term, acupuncture is naturally effective, but I don't know if there will be any hidden dangers after the disease is cured. After all, acupuncture is to stimulate people's potential to cure diseases, and too much use is afraid that some people's bodies will not be affected.

To this day, the last volume of acupuncture is still not clear, and he is extremely cautious about acupuncture, so he understands the reason why his father rarely uses acupuncture.

In order to realize the idea of running a school, the Xiao family found a big house, not bought or rented, but a house that no one lived in.

The land and houses in the town are all worthless, and they slowly rot when they are idle, and finally become ruins, and those who want to build a house only need to clean it up and build it again.

The mountains are extremely rich in wood, and the houses are all made of wood, and there is no need for nails, and they are all fixed with tenons, which are stronger and stronger than nail rivets.

The house had not yet decayed, and the Xiao family father and son found a few people, carrying axes, hammers, and saws, and it took a day to clean up and look new.

Forty sets of tables and chairs were installed in the new house. The father and son of the Xiao family calculated that there were less than forty children recruited in the town, which should be enough.

Forty sets of tables and chairs were made by a few people in two days, of course, it could not be any mahogany, rosewood, rosewood, those precious woods are not found in this mountain.

According to the imperial court etiquette system: the imperial palace and the royal palace must be built with sandalwood. A sandalwood log is cut from the Yunnan-Guizhou Mountains, and then transported by land and water to the capital, and the freight alone costs 1,500 taels of silver.

It is conceivable how much silver is needed to build an imperial palace, which is really astronomical, and only the emperor of China can afford to build it.

The waterway is the ancient wooden raft, which was still used in the Republic of China. It is to tie logs into wooden rafts, and then people stand on them and paddle and row, mainly with the help of water currents.

Although this method is simple and easy to implement, it is very risky, and once there is a strong wind and waves, it is difficult for the people above to save their lives, and the wooden rafts will be washed away, and they do not know where to go.

It is not easy to go by land.

Because the beams and pillars of the palace had to be made of whole logs, they could not be carried by means of transport. I had to wait until winter, pour water on the road and freeze the ice, and then pull horses on the ice, and the cast iron wheels kept splashing sparks on the ice, enough to light firewood.

After walking a short distance, the wheels will be wasted, and you need to constantly change cars, horses, and people, just like ants moving.

Beautiful palaces and palaces were built little by little in this stupid way.

Compared with the Sui Dynasty, the imperial palace of the Ming Dynasty was a small thing. The Sui Dynasty built not only the imperial palace, but the capital, and built the entire capital from the flat ground, the scale was so large and the cost was huge, that later generations could not imagine.

How the pyramids were built is impossible to verify, but the difficulty of building a Chinese imperial palace is by no means less than that of a pyramid. In particular, the capital of the Sui Dynasty, which is clearly in line with the gossip of Zhou Yi, implies the five elements of yin and yang, and almost integrates a Zhou Yi into a city, and its wisdom and science are comparable to the pyramids.

It's a pity that the capital of the Sui Dynasty was completely destroyed, and the pyramids are still there. The unsolved mystery of mankind has no choice but to let the pyramid dominate.

Besides, when I look at the house made of logs, I can't help but think of it. This is also the habit of scholars, who are difficult to change, and when they see something, they will associate it with many things, and even gallop up and down for thousands of years.

"What do you want, don't like the house?" Xiao Nier hurriedly asked when she saw that he looked confused.

"No, no, it just occurred to me something else. ”

"If you don't like it, let's change it, anyway, there are empty houses, it's not difficult to find. ”

"No, this is good. ”

Besides, he opened the latch and walked in.

The people in the town don't use door locks, they all use this kind of wooden latch, the same inside and outside. The night is not closed, the road is not forgotten, it is about a place like a small town.

The latch guards against the black bears in the mountains, not against people.

The animals in the mountains generally rarely go down the mountain, they are afraid of people, only the honest black bear, no matter how many times they are hunted by the hunters, the vigilance of humans is still not high enough, nothing to idle or hungry, so they sneak to the town, see whose door is not closed, swagger in.

It's nothing if it's just a string of doors, but the black bear is too naughty, and after he crosses the door, this family is almost like being picked up by robbers, and everything is.

It's also annoying. If the people of the town don't want bear skin and bile, they don't kill it indiscriminately, they just blast it back into the mountains.

As soon as he entered the room, he smelled a strong aroma of ink, which was the unique aroma of books that had just been printed, and he couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, and said secretly in his heart: "It's been a long time." ”
