Chapter 8 The Three Character Classic
Hearing Xu Dutou's words, Zhang Yue and Yu's ears were pricked up.
On the side, Zhang Shi said suspiciously: "Oh? Brother Wangxu is more detailed. ”
Yu Shi also said: "Shilang, ask Xu Dutou if he has eaten?" I'll buy some more wine and food, and invite Xu Dutou to come in and talk while eating? ”
But I heard Xu Dutou laugh outside the door: "There is still business to do, don't dare to bother, just say a few words and leave." ”
Zhang Shi said: "Dare to ask Dutou, the case of the burning of the shop, isn't it that the yamen has already made a conclusion?" How can there be a reversal of the case. ”
Xu Dutou said: "The case is decided, and the county has already made a copy, but it is the month of business, and it is usually impossible to settle the matter and go to the state to hear it, so the copywriter was not sent to the state." ”
"Who overturned the case?"
Xu Dutou said: "After your Zhang's shop was burned, some people in the county said that there must be something strange in this, and the yamen made a secret visit, and finally found out that Wu Silk Merchant colluded with your guy Ji Qiao San. What I want is to get a sum of money from your Zhang family. ”
"Qiao San?" Zhang Shi looked incredulous, "He actually eats inside and out." ”
Xu Dutou said: "Now that the case has been solved, Wu Sishang is on the run and does not know where to go, Ling Jun has ordered the arrest of the offender, and Qiao San is detained in the county jail, waiting for Ling Jun to be released." ”
Zhang Shi said: "Qiao San is also confused for a while, afraid of ......"
Yu Shi, who was listening to the ear, couldn't help but stepped forward and said: "I said that this Qiao San's good bet is unreliable, Shilang just can't listen to it, saying that although Qiao Sanren is confused, they know kindness and righteousness, and now you still have to intercede for him for Ling Jun?" ”
Zhang Shi said: "Qiao San has always been loyal to me, so Wu Sishang fled, isn't the money also swept away?" ”
Xu Dutou said with a smile: "The money was indeed not recovered, but it was found that Wu Sishang should have been burned with six loads of silk." ”
Zhang Yue thought to himself, how could this Wu silk merchant escape before the silk was delivered? There's something strange about this. But he heard that the yamen always has to leave some beginnings and ends in handling cases, and he can't be clear with you once.
Hearing that the silk was recovered, Zhang was sure in his heart, and then scolded: "This Jia Nu is really ......"
Xu Dutou said: "I heard the news and came to report it." Tomorrow, Lingjun will send you to the court for questioning. ”
Zhang Shi thought about it and was still more happy than everything and said: "I can't believe it, the case has been turned over like this...... It's all up to the head to fight for it! I really don't know what to say. ”
Zhang Shi saluted Xu Dutou.
Xu Dutou gave a meaningful look and said, "Eh, you and I have been friends for many years, how can there be any reason not to take it to heart." ”
Zhang Yue sneered again and again when he heard this.
But after a while, Xu Dutou said again: "Having said that, this case can be revealed, and in the end, the county governor Peng will make a decision." ”
"Oh, why did County Lieutenant Peng help us? I don't understand? ”
"I also know the specifics, but it's hard to say, he will understand the day," Xu Dutou said, "Before Dalang, you hated Zhao Zhisi, and you didn't help anything, I really didn't want to go in the past few days, and I will come to the door another day to make amends to Dalang and sister-in-law." ”
Zhang Shi said: "This ...... Where is this, when this matter is over, I will invite Xu Dutou to drink again. ”
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the yamen still has some affairs, so let's go first."
"Walk slowly!"
Zhang Shi returned to the house with a happy face.
Yu Shi immediately said: "Don't be too happy too early, why would the county lieutenant help us?" Besides, we were cheated out of money, and Yamen was willing to use six loads of raw silk to offset the number? Although Ling Jun is said to be high, but the officials of the yamen protect each other, how can he risk offending Zhao Zhisi to uphold justice for us? ”
Hearing this, Zhang Shi nodded and said, "Madam is very right. ”
Yu Shi was a lot of deflated when he heard this.
Zhang Qiu saw that his parents had smiling faces, and they were also lively.
Zhang Shi said: "I'll go to the yamen tomorrow to have a look, and I'll give it a try no matter what I say...... This man, sometimes you can't think too badly of him, but you can't think too badly of him either. ”
Zhang Yue was listening, but he didn't know if it was Xu Dutou or someone else.
At dawn the next day, Zhang Yue still slept at home until three poles before getting up.
Zhang Yue seems to be going to carry out the day and sleep to the end.
In the early years, my father and brother also had expectations for Zhang Yue, hoping that the Zhang family would have another scholar.
The second brother Zhang Xu was ordered by his father and brother to tutor Zhang Yue's homework, but he was angry that he couldn't carve rotten wood and couldn't enclose the wall of dung, so he refused to teach Zhang Yue again.
Since then, the more the chapter has given up treatment.
The good deeds made a joke about the two brothers.
said that Zhang Xu is very good at reading, when Mr. lectures, he usually closes his eyes to recuperate, but when he opens his eyes, Mr. knows where he is wrong. As for Zhang Yue, he is also an equal existence, and whenever he opens his eyes, Mr. knows that it is time to get out of class.
Zhang Yue listened for a while, and heard that what Zhang Qiu was reading were all Mengxue readings, which were "Enlightenment Training" and "Hundred Family Names".
"Hundred Family Names" began in the early Song Dynasty, such as the first sentence Zhao Qian Sun Li, which refers to the Zhao family of the emperor of the Song Dynasty, Qian Yu, the king of Wu Yue, the concubine Sun, and the Li family, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
The "Thousand Character Text" was written even earlier than the "Hundred Family Names", which was written by Zhou Xingsi, a waiter who was ordered by Emperor Wu of Liang. Zhou Xingsi turned white overnight for this thousand-word essay that is not repeated in 1,000 words.
It is also the creation of Zhong Shenxiu, this thousand-character essay 'limited words can be coherent and coherent, without mistakes', and it is written so eloquently, it is really amazing.
What to read in ancient primary school (Mengxue)?
Mainly for the purpose of enlightenment and literacy, the Qin Dynasty had "Sancang", and 3,300 commonly used words of the small seal have been prepared.
But "Sancang" is too difficult, it is not easy for beginners, and it has long been lost.
After the Han Dynasty, it was spread that the article was urgent, the meaning of urgency, the predicate of the word is difficult to know, and the urgency can be sought and asked, to put it bluntly, it is the meaning of literacy and speed.
But it's not easy to rush the article, because it's seven words.
Mengtong can read 2,000 words before he can read the Bible. In other words, the literacy of Mengtong is at least 2,000. It is not enough to read only the surnames of hundreds of families, and it is not enough to be literate in 1,000 characters, and Mengxue must be supplemented by a miscellaneous book, which goes hand in hand.
For example, "The Enlightenment Teachings" is a miscellaneous book.
Miscellaneous books are used to teach students some common knowledge in daily life, and are commonly used in the winter school of village schools. The so-called winter school means that the peasants send their children to school in October, and take advantage of the slack to read books for two or three months.
Winter learning is not even considered enlightenment, mainly to let the children know a few words. Read a few miscellaneous books, "Hundred Family Names" literacy is good, so the textbook is also called the village book.
Mengtong who is really interested in the system will not go to winter school to study.
As the eldest grandson's family, Zhangqiu cultivation is still very attentive, and he has read "Hundred Family Names" and "Enlightenment Training" at a young age, and has not read "Thousand Character Text", and the course of Mengxue is only halfway.
Although I was expelled from school, I have read almost the same amount of school, but if I want to make a system in the next step, it is time to find a Master to study the history of the scriptures and start writing articles.
But in the past, when the Zhang family was rich, they could still afford the three brothers to study. But now that the embarrassment is so embarrassing that even the house is about to be sold, how can Zhang Yue mention it again? But don't you mention that you have failed your talent for reading again?
At this moment, Zhang Qiu carried a small bench in front of the window, with a book on his lap. When Zhang Yue got up, Zhang Qiu had already read the book for more than an hour, and such diligence really made Zhang Yue embarrassed.
I'm such an old person, not even as a child.
"Third uncle, did Xi'er's reading disturb you?" Zhang Qiu asked with a wink.
Zhang Yue couldn't hold back when he said this: "Fortunately, I have always slept well with the third uncle." ”
"Okay, my father and mother have said that the day is not good."
"It's good that Xi'er doesn't sleep day and night."
"Yes, my mother told Xi'er not to learn from the third uncle."
Well, fairy tales.
Zhang Yue changed the topic and said, "Xi'er, is your father back?" ”
Zhang Yue thought to himself that his brother should go to the yamen early in the morning to inquire about the news, and he didn't know if the lawsuit had an eyebrow.
"Daddy went out early in the morning, yes, third uncle, can you teach me to read a thousand-character essay in the future?" Zhang Qiu raised his head.
"Okay!"
"Third uncle, teach me!"
Although he had already mastered the thousand-character text, Zhang Yue thought in his heart that it was another Mengxue classic with the same name as "The Thousand Character Text".
Seeing Zhang Qiu's studious look, Zhang Yue said: "Xi'er, I will teach you, at the beginning of a person, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away. ”
Zhang Qiu thought for a while and said, "Third Uncle, this is not a thousand-character text, this is a three-word text." ”
"That's right, the third uncle taught a three-word poem," Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Xi'er, you're so smart." ”
"At the beginning of man, his nature is good, which means that he is born as a human being, and his nature is good. People have similar temperaments, but their habits are different. ”
Zhang Qiu read it and said: "At the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away. Xi'er understands, is there a next sentence? ”
Zhang Yue nodded and said: "Yes, listen well, the next sentence is'Gou doesn't teach, sex is migration.'" The way of teaching is to be specialized'. ”
"If you don't teach, your nature will become bad, and the way to teach is to be single-minded."
"Xi'er understands that this is to ask us to study hard from an early age and listen to the teachings of our teachers."
Zhang Yue smiled and said, "That's what it means." Xi Mengmu, choose a neighbor. If you don't learn, you will be cut off. ”
This is an allusion, the mother of the great sage Mencius, in order to let Mencius study, moved three times. Mencius was playful and refused to learn, so she cut off the machine to educate Mencius......"
Zhang Yue said a few words hastily, and Zhang Qiu was already memorized.
Seeing that Zhang Qiu was so smart, Zhang Yue was very happy and wanted to teach again, but he heard Yu Shi downstairs interrupt: "Uncle should have breakfast." ”
Zhang Qiu said: "The third uncle will teach again!" ”
Zhang Yue smiled: "It's enough to teach you six sentences, let's teach it tomorrow!" ”
"The third uncle is not allowed to repay the debt."
Zhang Yue smiled: "You are so studious, it's too late for the third uncle to be happy." ”
"Xi'er, do you think Daddy is back?"
Yu walked to the side of the escalator and urged.
Zhang Yue understood that Yu Shi was deliberately coming to 'interrupt' his conversation with Zhang Qiu frequently. It's really boring, I'm afraid that I'm 'misleading people' all day long, is I so uncompetitive in Yu's eyes?
Well, there's a little bit of that.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue whispered to Zhang Qiu: "Xi'er, don't tell your mother about the three-word poem I taught you." ”
Zhang Qiu nodded sensibly and said, "Xi'er understands." My mother doesn't like the third uncle, you teach me to read. ”
What a sincere child!
Zhang Yue reluctantly smiled and said, "Go ahead!" ”
Zhang Qiu rushed from upstairs to downstairs to open the door and said happily: "It's really Daddy back." ”
Zhang Yue went downstairs when he heard this, and Yu also squeezed to the door: "Husband, ......"
Everyone saw Zhang Shi standing in front of the door with his hands behind his back, with a sad face.
Yu put down the rag and stepped forward to ask, "Official, yamen...... Just come back. ”
Zhang Shi was silent.
Zhang Qiu hid behind Zhang Yue and didn't make a sound, Zhang Yue was a little puzzled, Zhang Yue saw Zhang Shi revealing a bottle of wine behind his back hand, and his eyes flashed, and he suddenly understood.
Zhang Yue said cooperatively: "Brother, how can Ling Jun say it?" If not, let's find another way. ”
Zhang Shi sighed: "What way, what other way?" ”
Zhang Yue clearly saw the joy in Zhang Shi's eyes, which could not be suppressed.
Yu Shi dropped the rag and said sullenly: "If you don't have money, this house must be sold, and there will be no place for us in Pucheng in the future." ”
"Mother, don't be sad, you still have Xi'er." Zhang Qiu sensibly pulled his mother's skirt and said.
Yu Shiqiang smiled: "My mother is not sad, she is just happy in the air, too, how can this Xu Dutou be trusted?" ”
But seeing Zhang Shitu's 'weird' smile, he took out a bottle of wine and a pack of lotus leaf chicken in each of his hands behind his back: "Lady, what are you looking at?" ”
"Why did you buy food and drink?" Yu Shi was surprised, "Could it be?" ”
"I deliberately did this just now, but in fact, Ling Jun overturned the case for us!" Zhang Shi said with a raised eyebrow on his face.
Yu Shi was overjoyed when he heard this, and smashed his fist on Zhang Shi's shoulder with red eyes and said, "You wrongdoer, when has this happened?" You're still here to tease me! ”
Zhang Shi laughed when he heard this: "Lady's punch is heavy enough, and her body bones can't bear it." ”
"It's better to hammer you to death, never come into this house, let the third brother see the joke." Yu wiped away his tears and finally burst into laughter.
"Look at you crying for a while, laughing for a while, it's what makes Xi'er see the joke."
Zhang Yue and Zhang Qiu laughed beside them and said nothing.
Zhang Shi handed the wine and food to Yu: "Quickly blanch the wine, cook a few more good dishes, and let's sit down as a family and talk while eating." ”
Zhang Qiu said happily beside him: "Great, there is meat to eat!" ”
The family laughed when they heard this.
