CHAPTER XXVII

Tang An's voice was still very immature, and he could tell that he was still a child when he heard it.

The more Ah Kuang thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, didn't Mr. say that at his age in the Chu Dynasty, no one could solve such a problem? Didn't the gentleman once say that with his current arithmetic foundation, he will definitely be able to achieve something in arithmetic in the future?

But now, a college in Zhuangzi, a group of soil babies, who are the same age as themselves, can already solve the problem of pheasants and rabbits in the same cage.

In two years, won't I be able to catch up with others on four horses? What else do you talk about, what do you talk about?

Ah Kuang is still a child after all, thinking of this, he cried out loud, and said in a hesitant voice: "It turns out that Ah Kuang is a stupid child, it turns out that Mr. is cheating Ah Kuang, this is not a problem, Ah Kuang can't even compare to a soil baby on the village...... Woowoo...... Kuang is a stupid kid......"

The old gentleman coaxed for a while, and Ah Kuang stopped his tears, but his little eyes still felt aggrieved.

To tell the truth, not only Ah Kuang was wronged, but the old gentleman also felt very aggrieved, he felt that he had lived in vain for more than 70 years, he was born in a scholarly family, read early, and almost grew up holding books since he was a child, even so, when he was ten years old, he couldn't solve the problem of chickens and rabbits in the same cage.

He prides himself on being well-informed, but he has never heard of the Arabic numerals that Tang Xiaoshi said, and these Arabic numerals seem to be able to simplify the complexity of arithmetic.

I thought that a woman who could say "is born from the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other" is already rare, but I didn't expect her arithmetic to be so impressive, and the most important thing is that such a strange woman also raised a large nest of little demons here, the old gentleman can imagine that when this group of little guys in the academy grows up, those scholars outside who are so sour and rotten that they only know how to shake their heads are definitely not their opponents.

The old gentleman opened the door curtain, looking at the gate of the academy because of the age and some dilapidation, the four big characters of "Sanwei Academy" are vigorous and powerful, such a door is not as solemn as the gate of the Guozijian, and even as good as any aristocratic private school in Chang'an City, but the old gentleman feels that this gate will become a "dragon gate" in the future, worthy of the name.

And the old gentleman also made up his mind that this door was the destination of the rest of his life.

For a true reader, what attracts them the most is not gold and silver, but the endless sea of learning, the pleasure of swimming in the sea of learning.

"Old Wu, let's go."

The groom flicked the reins of the horse, and the old gentleman took Ah Kuang away, but he knew that he would come back.

……

……

A few days later, an earth-shattering event occurred in the Guozijian of the Chu Dynasty, and Han Ke, a scholar of Hanlin, submitted a resignation to the emperor, saying:

"The dried ruts are dry and withered. If a man is ignorant, what is the difference between him? The sky is high and the earth is wide, learning the sea of Liao, I am over the year, time does not wait, I want to look at it. ”

Han Ke is laughing at himself for being too short-sighted, just like a fish in a rut, he is now an advanced age, and he must seize the time to study.

The world was so big, he wanted to see it.

This resignation caused a sensation among hundreds of officials, if Han Ke said that he was short-sighted, then wouldn't they all be frogs at the bottom of the well? If the Korean guests are all dry fish, then aren't they all turtle kings?

You must know that Han Ke is the most qualified Hanlin bachelor in Guozijian, and he has dabbled in seven studies, including Guozi, Taixue, Guangwen, Simen, Law, Calligraphy, and Arithmetic, and knows everything.

He is the legend of all the people who read in the world.

He once did a sensational thing that caused a sensation in the entire Chu Dynasty, Han Ke was eighteen years old in high school, and above the main hall, he openly resigned from the first emperor's official position, and only wanted to go to the library of Guozijian to be a keeper of the history of the collection and be responsible for managing the scrolls.

I have been studying hard for more than ten years, and once I was the top student in high school, but I don't want to put a bright future, and I am bent on sticking into the pile of books, and everyone is puzzled.

Eighteen-year-old Han Ke said: "My heart is in the book rather than the official, and I only want to be a pure reader." ”

The first emperor praised it and allowed it.

It was Han Ke who worked hard in the library for more than ten years, from a young man to the year of standing, accompanied by books day and night, that he was proficient in the seven learnings and familiar with the ancient and modern. Then, Han Kefang felt that he was qualified to be a teacher, and he taught in Guozijian, and it has been decades now, and many people in the court, including the emperor sitting on the dragon chair, have to respectfully call him a teacher.

Hanke has now submitted his resignation and no longer teaches.

This is a big loss, but it is also a great incentive, and those with gray hair know that there is no end to learning, let alone teenagers?

Although the emperor regretted it, he had to agree to Han Ke's request, after all, Han Ke was also old, and it was time to return to his hometown.

Han Ke handed over his official hat and strode out of the main hall, when the light of the morning sun sprinkled on his face, he felt that he was alive again, and every qiē was a new beginning.

After resigning, Han Ke returned home, carefully cleaned it from top to bottom, changed into the most ordinary scholar's green robe, and cleaned it up neatly.

The little fat man Ah Kuang was naturally cleaned up by the servants.

The two got into the carriage, and Han Ke said with a red face: "Old Wu, go to Beizhuang Sanwei Academy." ”

If those people above the court knew that Han Ke resigned in order to go to Sanwei Academy, I'm afraid they would be surprised, what academy can compare with Guozijian?

……

……

When Han Siniang opened the door, an old man with gray hair and an ordinary green robe appeared in front of her, smiling, followed by a little fat man, who was about the same size as Zhang Dagan.

Although Han Siniang has spent decades in the palace, after all, she is in the harem, so she naturally doesn't know Han Ke, so she frowned slightly, where did the old man come from, he still wears a student's green robe when he is old, could it be that he is the legendary sour and rotten talent who can't pass the exam for a lifetime?

Han Ke said politely: "The tired housekeeper lady has passed on the news, and Han Ke has come to visit Mr. Tang of the Academy." ”

Mr. Tang is naturally referring to Tang Xiaoshi, Han Ke knows that Tang Xiaoshi is Princess Jing, but he does not call him a princess but calls a visit to Mr. Tang, which shows that in the eyes of Han Ke, Tang Xiaoshi is a scholar first and then a princess.

Han Shiniang was stunned...... Did she hear me right? Is there a second Hanke in Chang'an City?

Han Shi Niang had never seen Han Ke, but she had heard of Han Ke, and she asked, "Your Excellency is Han Ke, a Hanlin Bachelor?" ”

Han Ke smiled: "It's all called in the past, the old body is just a civilian now, and I'm bothered to go and announce it." ”

Han Shi Niang gave a salute and said, "Sir, wait a while, the old slave will go." ”

After exiting the Hanke's field of vision, Han Shiniang quickened her pace and almost ran, that was the Hanlin Bachelor Hanke!

He actually came to the academy, such a pure scholar, such a great bachelor, he will be respected wherever he goes, he will only have good things when he comes to the academy, and there will never be bad things, so she has to hurry up and announce it.

By the way, I would like to introduce Han Ke to Tang Xiaoshi.

Han Siniang ran to the back room and introduced Han Ke to Tang Xiaoshi passionately, which was simply Han Ke to the sky, but Tang Xiaoshi was very calm.

She still respects such a scholar very much, and all people who respect knowledge deserve respect, according to Han Shiniang's introduction, this Han Ke is indeed a rare scholar full of poetry and books.

Han Ke was invited into the academy, and Tang Xiaoshi entertained Han Ke in the lobby outside the academy.

Han Shi Niang brought the special tea made by the academy, this tea was used for the first time to entertain outsiders, which shows how much Han Shi Niang values Han Ke. I saw a few brown and green dead leaves in the white porcelain cup, and a bubble of hot spring water washed down, and immediately a faint fragrance.

Hanke can see it strangely, what kind of tea is this? Just a few dead leaves can have such a refreshing, invigorating aroma. Strangely, this tea did not add fried rice, nor did it add ginger and green onions.

But, it is enough that it has a fragrance, and it has already attracted Koreans.

"Mr. Tang's tea is peculiar, without spices, clear water leaves, it has such a fragrant fragrance." Han Ke sighed.

This tea is brewed according to the practice of modern people, which is naturally very different from the ancient strong tea, Tang Xiaoshi said: "The light smoke of the bamboo stove remains the same, and the stone spring water is fresher and fresher. ”

As soon as the sentence "The light smoke of the bamboo stove remains the same, and the living taste of the stone spring water is getting newer", Han Ke trembled slightly, and sighed that Tang Xiaoshi is really a poet, and he can also produce such a clear and far-reaching poem when talking and laughing.

Han Ke took a sip of the teacup, only to feel that it was slightly bitter at first, then sweet, fragrant, transparent, and very comfortable.

"Good tea, good tea!" Han Ke said happily.

Tang Xiaoshi said: "Mr. Han is a happy person, and his obsession with knowledge makes me admire, why don't we get straight to the point, why did Mr. Han come to my academy today?" ”

Seeing Tang Xiaoshi being so direct, Han Ke became more cheerful, and he was originally a little embarrassed to say it, but now he had no worries, and said: "Han is wearing the green robe he wore when he was studying in the old days, just want to ask Mr. Tang, can the academy still recruit students?" ”

After all, it is inevitable that the face will be red, and it is not easy to put down your body to study when you are old.

Tang Xiaoshi said directly: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint the old gentleman, the academy is not recruiting students for the time being." ”

Han Ke sighed, it was obvious that he had been rejected, he was old, and it was already very difficult to make such a request, and now that he was rejected, it was not easy to force it anymore, and he said with great pity: "Thank you Mr. Tang for the tea, the old body is bothered, but the old body will come again until Mr. Tang feels my true meaning." ”

Then he got up and wanted to leave.

"Mr. Han is slow, there is no shortage of students in the academy," Tang Xiaoshi paused, "but there is a shortage of Mr. Teaching." ”
