Chapter 19: Introspection and the Dog Cave
I used to think that ancient knowledge was all metaphysical things, but now after personal experience, I found that it is not the case, there are beautiful poems, generous articles, tragic history, dark conspiracies, and things that a person needs in his life are not lacking at all in the academy system of the Great Song Dynasty.
Arithmetic is a weakness, so Yun Zheng never went to the arithmetic discipline in the academy, and Mr. Peng Li never reprimanded Yun Zheng for this, and even asked Yun Zheng in private if he could also teach the students of the academy without damaging his secret inheritance, and took out a set of independent schools as a temptation.
Yun Zheng is a person with weak willpower, and he can't stand the temptation of a set of independent schools, and after three or two sentences, he happily agrees with Mr. Peng Li's construction, and teaches the academy students arithmetic while studying.
The scholars who have been imprisoned by the Four Books and the Five Classics have no way to accept Yun Zheng's new-style education, and as long as they mention arithmetic, they will all have sad faces and sigh endlessly.
Once again, the immortal student who was tortured by the mad pool keeper and two idiot craftsmen finally broke out.
"This is not something we should learn at all, as long as we can understand counting, why do you need to learn such extremely dry and difficult knowledge, sir, you don't mean to be difficult for us, right?"
Yun Zheng shook his fan and smiled: "Who said that arithmetic is useless? This is a university question, the universe is big, the mustard seed is small, the speed of electric light, the ingenuity of a hundred crafts, the changes of the world, the complexity of daily use, everywhere does not need to learn.
Arithmetic is an extremely ancient discipline, since our ancestors slash and burn when he has been born, our earliest counting method is ten fingers, my maid is still in use, but when the amount is larger, when you take off your shoes and can't count, you will use the rope, she is very smart, as long as the family has a little more income, she will use the rope to tie a knot, but when she later began to raise silkworms. When she realized that she had no way to express how many silkworms she had with knots, she began to ask me for arithmetic, and now she has learned to use numbers to represent her silkworms.
Life is inseparable from arithmetic everywhere, from the construction of houses to our palaces to the boat bridge, and even once you are successful, you also need the knowledge of arithmetic after becoming an official. ”
Mr. Peng Li smiled and watched Yun Zheng lecturing in the schoolhouse, and also heard the discussion of the students, coughed in a low voice, and the school hall that was still chaotic just now suddenly became quiet.
The old gentleman clapped his hands, and Yun Zheng actually saw Yun Er's little head rising from the window. Mr. Peng Li stood outside the window and pointed to the things that Yun Zheng left for those students, but he also said to Yun Er: "Can you solve those questions?" ”
Yun Er looked at the eldest brother. Look at Mr. Peng Li again. Nodding, the old man smiled with satisfaction, took Yun Er's hand and walked into the schoolhouse, and took Yun Zheng's question for Yun Er to answer.
It's all very simple arithmetic problems. Yun Er untied them one by one in a short period of time, this child has been changing his teeth recently, his front teeth have not grown yet, he doesn't like to open his mouth very much, and now he needs to cover his mouth no matter whether he talks or eats.
Yun Zheng picked up the questions that Yun Er did and said to his classmates with a smile: "All the answers are correct, if you have any questions, you can bring the answers into the questions to test." ”
After speaking, he walked out of the school with Yun Er. Mr. Peng Li was obviously ready to be angry, in order not to be hated by his classmates, Yun Zheng felt that it was better for him to leave.
Sure enough, as soon as he walked out of the school, Mr. Peng Li's roar came out of the school. Regardless of those suffering classmates, it is estimated that they will probably not have a place for lunch today, and there are not many punishment methods in the academy, such as playing boards, which are not commonly used now, and then carrying water and being hungry.
In general, it was not bad, Yun Zheng was fortunate enough to pick up water for ten days, which was nothing, but Cui Da's feeling was not very good, and these ten days were simply purgatory for him.
Yun Er brought dumplings with bacon buns, Yun Zheng liked it very much, Lu Qingqing wouldn't do these, she could make white fungus soup and vegetarian dumplings, and the tea soup made with spices was also very good, but Yun Zheng didn't like these good things at all, and the most annoying thing was that a big man was holding a bowl of slippery white fungus soup and drinking it slowly, the thing was soft and smooth like snot.
"How's it going at home these days? I still have five days to go home and see, has your sister-in-law's workshop been built? The last time you came, you said you didn't find enough people, but now you have found it? ”
Yun Zheng ate a dumpling and shook his head, the dumplings were already cold, but there was no way to pay attention to these in Jinjiang Academy, there are too many stories of hard work for those gentlemen to warn students not to covet their appetites.
"Sister-in-law is not very happy, bacon has been very busy recently, and she still took the time to pack the dumplings for you, Lanlan is also very hard, she and bacon are soaked on the construction site all day long, and people have turned black.
Big brother, do we have to live such a busy life? Do you have to work hard to go to school? I always feel that there is no need, aren't we going to live happily? Why so hard? If you are not there, everyone is not happy, monkeys, Han Niu, as long as you don't work, you lie on the haystack in a daze all day long, Lao Liao always stands at the door and watches the road, you always don't come. ”
Yun Zheng snorted, and also felt sour in his heart, but this is something that can't be helped, he always wants to find a way out of this world, not to fall into the prestige of his future generations, but everything doesn't go according to plan, and now he still traps himself in the eyes of the court spies, which is very different from the invisible life he imagined.
"Big brother, you are too tired, there is no need to put all the things on your shoulders, I used to have the same thoughts as you, my father doesn't want me, my mother doesn't want me, I can't do without me, now I'm very happy, big brother, you have satisfied all my fantasies about my parents, now I only care about you, as long as you are there, I don't lack anything, we will live a good life in this world, I don't want to, don't do those things beyond our ability, and live this life happily."
Yun Zheng hugged Yun Er, he regarded himself as a relative and dependent, how could he not be like this, if he came to this world alone, he didn't know if he could hold on. Thankfully, those strange things didn't take him away from him, and he needed to be truly thankful for it, if he really had a spirit.
"We have actually been abandoned by the original world, as I said, I never believed in fate, but what happened to us is definitely not a simple scientific theory that can be perfectly explained.
I'm an orphan, you were abandoned by your mother, and God seems to have deliberately arranged it this way, so that we can come here naked and careless, and we are like a chess piece, at the mercy of others.
I don't accept it, kill the robbers of Yuanshan, kill the Eagle Clan, that is, I am challenging fate, we won, but Lu Qingqing's matter appeared in front of me again, I like Lu Qingqing, so I married her, but my heart tells me that I prefer the so-called sins she carries! Changing my life is my favorite thing to do.
After studying in the academy for less than a month, I realized that I was vomiting with myself, little brother, I won't be in the future, I can't let light, bacon and you down.
Coming here, we have a lot of harvests, there are old patriarchs, there are five ditches, there are laughing forests, and flower girls, many people, they are very good to us, love is priceless, cherish them more, you can't always think about the past, promise my little brother, forget the past, we start our new life again. ”
Yun Er grinned and smiled very happily, as long as the Yun family brothers didn't provoke others, they could always live happily. Seeing that Yun Da finished eating the dumplings, he carried the food box and said to Yun Da: "I'll go and sue them, the eldest brother is also thinking about us!" ”
Yun Da watched Yun Er run out like a deer, and his heart was full of happiness.
"Ahh Brother Yun, I heard that your little brother is a first-class prodigy, I wonder if Brother Yun is also splendid? ”
"Ahh Bastard, Lao Zhou, you are indeed a pure bastard, arithmetic is the secret of the Yun family, the blood of the Yun family is not blood, but numbers, just like you appreciate calligraphy and painting, that is a family heirloom, nature is better than others, the prodigy only said where did it come from? ”
Zhou Tong, who runs a calligraphy and painting shop at home, is the most funny, and his temperament is also very chic, with Yun Zheng's fan behind the collar, this hand was learned from Yun Zheng, he felt very magnificent, Yun Zheng ran away in a hurry, and did not take the fan, this guy came to send the fan on purpose.
"Brother Yun, to be honest, Mr. Peng Li brought your brother here, and everyone lost face, I can't say anything about family learning, I have been exposed to it since I was a child, and it is naturally easy to get started, but everyone's lunch meal is gone, and I don't know ......."
"Don't know, this is my confession, it's all mine, but I'm afraid the high walls of the academy are not something you and my brother can get out of. Say it quickly, where is it easy to get in and out from. ”
Zhou Tong raised his eyebrows and pointed at Yun Zheng and said with a smile: "It seems that you are not a good bird, you are used to skipping school and running away at first glance, and you can see it when I first saw you in the Lujia Taolin." Fourteen people, twenty-eight bowls of tofu flowers, Qiao's tofu Shih Tzu's tender tofu, must be full! ”
"Let's go, let's go out first, but let's make it clear, we're going to drink tofu flowers, not to eat other people's tofu Shih Tzu's tofu, in the end, we are scholars, and we can't lose face."
"Let's go, I won't have any face when I drill the dog hole."
"Bastard, you're going to let my dignified Chenglang go drill a dog hole?"
"Pull it down, Zhao Yanei is not the same as waiting to drill the dog hole, hurry up, hungry!"
