Chapter 135: Zhang Xuan Realized Again
In the temple of Zhiyun.
"Grandmother, I can't study with my brother, do I have to go to some Xingzhi Academy?" Li Zhao almost rolled on the ground, "I don't want to go to school!! ”
Gu Qing had just finished a three-day "recuperation", and her illness had added a lot of generals to the family, Li Mao was very happy, but Gu Qing, who had been housekeeper, thought of adding so many mouths to the house, and really wanted to pull Li Mao's collar and ask him to pay the money.
Holy! You still give your wife the monthly salary, and your wife hasn't handed it over to me yet! Now the house and the house are eating my money, there are four children at home, and now there are a bunch of senior bodyguards, so let her leave some money for Li Rui to marry his wife!
When Li Zhao entered the door, Gu Qing was calculating the accounts of Linglong Pavilion, from drawing drawings to decoration, partitions, and making cabinets, it was all money, the workshop in the house had done so many games, and the workers had to give rewards, and there was also the problem of pricing, how much did it cost, and how much could it be sold......
Gu Qing, who had never done business, began to have a headache about why to open a store.
"Grandmother, you ignore me......" Li Zhao saw that his grandmother was leaving him cold, and complained in an accusatory tone, "You must dislike me for not being as smart as my brother......"
"It's so normal that you don't want to go to school. What kid loves school? Gu Qing muttered quietly without raising his head.
She didn't even take it personally. She saw that this Li Zhao was a little kid who was overly doted on at home, maybe he lacked a little self-confidence, and he was self-centered in everything.
"But your brother is also studying in Honglu Temple now, where does he have time to accompany you?" Gu Qing dialed the abacus beads, "Although Xingzhi Academy is not a Guozijian, it is also one of the best academies in the capital, and there are more than forty Jinshi this year, five of them are from Xingzhi Academy, aren't you going to be an official?" To be an official, you have to take the imperial examination. ”
"Isn't there a gentleman in the house? It's good for me to learn with Cousin Ming! Li Zhao pouted.
Gu Qing raised his head.
"Do you know how to memorize the Analects? Have you read the Book of Songs? ”
"Huh? No. Li Zhao shook his head honestly.
"Then you can't keep up with Li Ming's progress, Mr. can't teach." It's not that Gu Qing wants to hit him, Li Ming is really a natural scholar in reading, and he doesn't need adults to worry about it at all.
"But if I am studying with a group of children from poor families, then I might as well stay in my hometown! We also have a private school in our prefecture! ”
Li Zhao really couldn't understand the thoughts of Uncle Tang's family.
If they don't welcome him, they arranged a good yard for him, sent him a girl, and served him with good food and drink every day, but if he said welcome, he couldn't see a few serious relatives at home.
The cousin only appeared once when he entered the house, and then he has been raising the fetus, he asked others, and the others had an expression of "really raising the fetus, don't ask more".
Li Jun went to Honglu Temple, got up every day before dawn to read, said some bird language that no one could understand, and slept late at night, he went to look for it several times, and his cousin said apologetically, "I really don't have time today."
Hum! He saw that he had become arrogant after arriving at the Xinguo Mansion, where did he dare to speak like this before!
And Li Rui's cousin went to the palace.
The palace wow, the place where the emperor and the queen live! I heard that all that you can't see at a glance is the house, and the emperor sleeps with a bride in his arms every night, and the princes are all handsome and chic, tall and mighty......
Li Zhao's envious eyes were green.
Go and read it to the prince, it must be a big official when it comes out, right?
"What happened to the poor?" Gu Qing felt that it didn't matter if the child was willful, and the three views must not be crooked. "Your cousin grandfather was from a poor background, and your own grandfather was also from a poor family. You are just a good fate and a good time, do you have one more head or one more arm than a poor child? ”
"Cousin, you know I don't mean that!"
"Li Zhao." Gu Qing sighed, I can't live this day, I raised a small one and a smaller one. That's what I heard. If you keep this attitude, I really can't send you to Xingzhi Academy. ”
"Huh? Is it okay not to go? Li Zhao's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Thank you, grandmother, thank you, grandmother!" ”
"Do you know why your cousin was able to enter the palace? Do you know why your cousin is so good at studying? Gu Qing showed a kind expression.
"I don't know."
"Cousin Grandmother has a secret. Do you want to be the same? ”
Li Zhao came to the capital for this, where is there anyone who is unwilling!
Hurriedly nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice.
"Then tomorrow morning, you will come to the Pastoral Residence." Gu Qing said with a smile, "Grandmother Cousin let you know what it means to be a heavenly general, and the people are ......."
She just bullied other people's children and couldn't understand.
"The sky bargains for adults, fish shreds, and people?" Is Grandma going to open a hotel?
How is it different from what you hear?
"Well, that's what everybody has to go through before they become talented. As long as you believe in your grandmother's words, your grandmother will be able to make you a person first, and then become a talent. Gu Qing continued to flicker.
The grass grows taller than the vegetables, right? She hadn't been in a long time.
The ducks didn't know that they were as lively as before, and if they were too fat to run, she would have to send him to the village to see the life of the poor.
Gu Qing fooled Li Zhao away, and decided to wait for Li Mao to come back and talk to him, and ask him to send Li Zhao to Xingzhi Academy a little later.
Some of this child's concepts must be corrected, otherwise he will go to a semi-compulsory education place like Xingzhi Academy to fill his head, even if Chen Yi is from their family, it is estimated that he will have a headache.
And what he said just now, if he goes to study and really hurts the self-esteem of some poor children, it will really lack morality.
Thinking about it this way, Brother Qi Shao, who was born in a rich family, but has always treated the children of a poor family like a spring breeze and rain, is really wonderful, what a young man, what a young man!
"Mrs. Tai, Daochang Zhang is here." The smile on Mama Hua's face can be seen by everyone, this Zhang Daochang is all kinds of amusement every time she comes, and sometimes she can't help but want to go to see what kind of place Longhu Mountain is, raising such a strange person.
"Huh?" How come it again! Gu Qing forgot where his Journey to the West was about!
"I'm afraid that the last time you said that you would find a weather that doesn't rain to open, Zhang Daochang remembered it and reported to you."
Others came for good intentions, so naturally he couldn't be lazy, so Gu Qing hurriedly asked people to invite him in.
Zhang Xuan entered the house and saluted Gu Qing before he said what he meant.
"Mrs. Qiu, it should be opened on May 25, and there should be no rain on that day, so I'll let you know."
"May 25? Isn't that three days later, will it be too urgent? ”
Gu Qing is going to open on the twenty-eighth, and if he is three days in advance, some preparations will have to be made in advance.
"I'm just suggesting." Zhang Xuan can only suggest. "I heard that the old lady was assassinated a few days ago, I wonder if she is okay now?"
He felt that Old Taijun Qiu didn't seem to have anything to suppress.
Mrs. Qiu still has the account book and abacus at hand, and those who are frightened will have the energy to do this.
Anyway, Tianjun will plan to plate, it's really down-to-earth!
It's not easy to follow the local customs! I don't think you need to do this when the Heavenly Monarch is in the sky, right?
I'm really curious, what did the Heavenly Monarch do when he was in heaven?
"It's okay, but I was a little frightened at the time, and I just recuperated for a few days." Gu Qing has been pretending to be sick in bed for a few days, but now he can't say that he has nothing to do. "Thank you Zhang Daochang for your concern."
"Where, last time I heard the story of the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism of Mrs. Qiu, I also felt that I benefited a lot. It's just that I don't know that in the sky, the Taoist Gate has declined to such a point, and I need the help of Buddhism to punish the evil and eliminate the evil, and when I return to the mountain, I will definitely persuade my master to send more disciples to actively enter the world, and don't let the Buddhism become too strong......"
"Shhh...... Hey? Gu Qing scratched her face, did she hear something terrible?
The battle of Buddhism? Is he talking about "Journey to the West"? Is it that complicated?
"That's just a story told by the old man, just made up."
"I've saved it. But the story can see the future, and now Buddhism does have the momentum of active expansion, if they continue like this, countless men will become monks and abandon their wives, wouldn't it be against human ethics......"
"Huh? Does this seem a bit serious? It is also a personal freedom for each person to choose a different choice and to choose a different faith......"
"Tianjun, Ah No, Mrs. Qiu is so measured!" Zhang Xuan couldn't help but praise Gu Qing's heart.
He naturally knew that the Heavenly Monarch didn't want him to spread the news of the Heavenly Realm, but now that the power of the Earth Buddhism was far inferior to their Taoist sect, he didn't know why the Heavenly Realm couldn't even catch a single monkey.
If they work harder, they may be able to turn the tide of the Heavenly Realm.
At that time, each of them will have merit, and maybe when the heavenly monarchs are happy, they will be able to ignite a few people to soar.
Don't worry, Tianjun, he won't tell anyone that you are suggesting that we did this!
"You are so polite, hehe, hehehe." Gu Qing sneered weakly.
Every time she said a few words to this Zhang Xuan, she felt a headache.
I always felt as if something terrible had happened, and I felt that she was thinking too much about herself.
"I heard that Zhang Daochang recently predicted a flood again?" Gu Qing has always felt that this Zhang Xuan is very magical, the function of the human weather forecaster is not covered, one person tops an observatory and a few satellites.
She saw through the sky at night and saw a bunch of stars, and she couldn't understand how Zhang Xuan could see that there was going to be continuous rain in the summer in the bright galaxy.
"It's not a prediction, it's just speculation." Zhang Xuan said embarrassedly, "Actually, I hope my speculation is wrong, even if the world laughs at me for lying and confusing the people, it is better than the people suffering disasters." ”
"This old man can understand that it is not easy for you to risk being scolded and punished by others to point out that there is only a possible disaster." Gu Qing thought of the plots of some movies he had seen before, and those who could predict disasters and the future usually chose not to say it, and this is the reason.
"Old lady......" Zhang Xuan's nose was sour, and his heart was heavy.
Half of Qin Tianjian's colleagues wanted to see his jokes, and half wanted to ask him for his ability to predict celestial phenomena, but none of them thought about what he was going through.
At this time, Gu Qing's words of comfort caused the sourness that had been pressing in Zhang Xuan's heart.
Since Zhang Xuan entered the Qin Heavenly Prison, he has been under great pressure, and he is far less happy than when he was in the mountains. His current duty is to predict celestial phenomena, but behind each celestial phenomenon is countless calculations, countless times to search for information, sometimes to reach a conclusion, but do not dare to report it immediately, to send an official letter to let the observation points in various places feedback the information of various places, after confirming again and again, dare to report.
But even so, if the prediction is inaccurate and so much manpower and material resources have been spent, I am afraid that he will be the first to be punished.
In other yamen, there are many prefects who take their subordinates' recitals and sign their own names or simply report meritorious service in the name of the ministry, and only in the Qin Tianjian and Yushitai will never cover the name of the subordinate officials who have written the book.
Lingtailang has always been an awkward position, otherwise there would not be only one Lingtailang with Wuguan in office for so many years, and it was not until he came that another vacancy was filled.
Wouldn't he have known that he already had the nickname "Zhang Crow"?
But he still reported it, because he couldn't bear to see the scene of the flood, and he didn't want to see so many people ruined.
Even if there is only the slightest possibility, if he can make a response as soon as possible, live more people, and save a few more people who may have nothing overnight, he will be worthy of the common people.
If there is no disaster, it is even better, at most the official is dismissed and go home. He is alone, his father and brother have not been out, and he is not afraid of affecting anyone. After resigning from the official, he went back to the mountain to continue writing his "Mystery".
Of course, it would be better if Old Taijun Qiu could take him in and let him stay by her side as a boy.
Gu Qing saw that Zhang Xuan was a young man who was moved like that because of her words, and his heart softened a lot.
After she arrived here, she rarely saw such a simple person. Even her two grandchildren, who are so young, have countless things hidden in their hearts.
Brother Qi Shao is also a sincere person, but he is too smart and has various ambitions in his heart, so he is not pure.
Only this Zhang Xuan seems to have only his "Dao" in his heart, and he is rolling in the world, but he still maintains his "Dao heart". Although his words are sometimes inexplicable, he is indeed a very, very good person.
The best thing is that this righteous Taoist priest can actually get married, she really can't believe what it is like for such a person to fall in love, get married and have children.
Do you talk to your wife every day about "Ascension" and "Yes or Nothing"?
Belch...... I sympathize with him.
"I think you're doing a great job. Some things are not made right or not by whether they are successful or not. If your prediction comes true, you will naturally have made great merit. If not, how can it be said that it is useless to strengthen the embankment and clean up the river now, and still resist the next natural disaster? ”
Gu Qing could imagine what kind of pressure Zhang Xuan was under, so his tone became more and more sincere. "Not every flood you can predict, your reminder has already benefited all sentient beings, isn't this a kind of 'Tao'?"
What everyone blames, sometimes it can be right. Whether a thing is meaningful or not depends not on whether it succeeds in the end, but whether he does it or not. If it is done, it is naturally a good thing, but if it is not successful, it can lay the foundation for those who come after it, isn't it another kind of success? ’
To be able to live in a position that everyone hates, is already close to the realm of 'Tao'. If you can benefit sentient beings in the end, as long as you maintain a pure and inactive state, then what is the scolding of others? ’
Every proverb of Old Taijun Qiu can make him feel infinite emotion.
Perhaps only such a master can explain the meaning of "Tao" in a plain explanation.
He's lucky.
"The good is like water, the water is good for all things without fighting, and it is evil for everyone, so it is more than the Tao." Zhang Xuan read the sentence "Lao Tzu" in his mouth, and began to have an epiphany again.
Gu Qing looked at Zhang Xuan standing straight in front of her and closed her eyes, pointed at Zhang Xuan with a frightened expression, and turned to look at Mama Hua.
Mama Hua covered her mouth and laughed, motioning for her to take her subordinates out of the yard for a walk.
A room full of girls, if this handsome Taoist priest attracts a spring heart, then it is not good.
Even she, a sixty-year-old woman, had a feeling of being shocked when she saw this Zhang Xuan quietly closing her eyes and realizing the Tao, not to mention these girls who don't see a few neat men on weekdays!
Gu Qing reluctantly went out quietly with a bunch of girls. Before stepping out of the room, she glanced back at Zhang Xuan.
Such an abstinent cultivator is really a good young man, why didn't a demon girl seduce him?
That's what fun it is!
Honglu Temple.
"Li Jun, I think you're trying too hard." Jin Yi looked at Li Jun, who was copying books, "We don't know how long we will stay here, you are in a posture as if you are about to leave Beijing to take up a post......
"No, I just suddenly thought that these Hu people's words were very interesting, but they were actually quite easy to learn."
Li Jun was once instructed by his grandmother at home and discovered some of Hu Wen's patterns.
Like the Xiongnu people, it belongs to a branch of the Xiongnu language, and many languages of the foreign ethnic groups are also influenced by the Xiongnu language, so he first taught himself the Xiongnu language, and went to the court to find a translator for advice on weekdays.
The same is true of the languages of the various ethnic groups in the Western Regions in Liangzhou, he found that the Hu people in Liangzhou have the same structure and are very similar to each other, and there is no independent sentence structure, they are all suffixed with a word to distinguish different usages, he just needs to remember the commonly used words and recite them more.
Nothing too difficult for him to memorize. And as long as you find a certain pattern, you can learn it quickly.
It's just that the translator is not a Hu person after all, and he never knows whether his level of learning is good or not. He can only bury his head in hard work, and when he is released, he will naturally know if he has gone astray.
"It's worthy of being a second-class passer, listen to his words...... Lu Sen is learning Tubo, so he naturally knows how difficult it is to learn a language, "It's actually quite easy to learn......"
Li Jun's face flushed, and he seemed to have said something wrong again.
"People are more popular than people, poor me can't even write all these tadpole characters until now, our Li Xingren has no teacher to read the scriptures of Xihu over there in Liangzhou!"
"Don't talk about it, you don't spend more than one-tenth of the time touching books. I think unless Zhou Gong enlightens you in his dream, you can only have envy! Also looking down at the book was another translator, Fan Siwei, who was proficient in several languages, but was not in good health and often took leave.
"It's a pity that no matter how good you read, there is no use, our Dutingyi is a corner forgotten by Shangguan......"
"Li Xingren, Lord Siqing told you to go home and prepare your luggage." A subordinate official of Honglu Temple pushed the door and walked in, "Lord Zuo Shaoqing needs someone over there, Lord Siqing ordered you to leave tomorrow and go to Fenzhou to assist Lord Zuo Shaoqing." ”
"Huh? Will you leave tomorrow? Li Jun closed the book in surprise. I don't have to go? ”
"You're going out on an errand, and you're going to come back when you're done. There is a batch of things in the capital to be escorted to Fenzhou, and they will be handed over to Lord Zuo Shaoqing, and you happen to be walking with the escort team. The subordinate official explained, "Lord Siqing heard that you have a relationship with those people in Fenzhou, so I temporarily ordered you to go." There are other interpreters in the team, so you don't have to worry too much. ”
Li Jun nodded.
"Xia Guan understood. The next official went back to pack his things. ”
Lu Sen and Jin Yi looked at each other, and they couldn't imagine that this Li Jun still had a relationship with the Qianren.
It's just that he is really hard, he went to follow Lord Zuo Shaoqing on an errand, and when he came back, he was afraid that he would lose a layer of skin.
The author has something to say: Little Theater:
Of course, it would be better if Old Taijun Qiu could take him in and let him stay by her side as a boy.
Gu Qing: I'll rub, where is there such a big boy!
Zhang Xuan: My Yuanyang has not leaked, so I am naturally still a child. Are you going to take me as an apprentice?
Gu Qing: I'm not as old as you!
Zhang Xuan: How dare you, a real person can become a heavenly monarch, I think I will be over a thousand years old, I am a little mortal......
Gu Qing: Ahhhh
