Chapter 44: The Noble Son of the Poor Family

The next day, Zhang Shi washed up early in the morning and was about to go out, Yu Shi asked Zhang Shi, and he said that he needed to go out on an errand.

Zhang Yue wondered why Zhang Shi still had something to do at this time?

Zhang Shi said a few words vaguely, there are some things in Xu's shopkeeper's shop, and Yu's didn't think much about it, Xu's shopkeeper is Xu Dutou's cousin, maybe there is something wrong with the yamen.

Zhang Yue was also a little suspicious, and Yu revealed that the eldest brother had returned late in the past few days.

So Zhang Yue said: "Brother, I also went into the city, can you take me?" ”

Zhang Shi smiled: "It's okay, our brothers may not have entered the city for a long time." ”

Immediately, Zhang Shi, Zhang Yue and the two of them entered the city after having breakfast together.

After passing the Nanpu Bridge along the way, Zhang Shi bought a piece of cooking cake, and the two brothers ate it while walking. Zhang Yue nibbled on the cake and saw Zhang Shi go to the shopkeeper Xu's tea restaurant, but he really had something to do.

Zhang Yue was about to leave, but Zhang Shi went out again and greeted: "Third brother, come in and eat some before leaving." ”

"Good!" Zhang Yue happily responded.

Zhang Yue entered the tea restaurant, but saw that there was no one, let alone the diners, and even the usual idle men were gone.

Zhang Shi took a rag and wiped the table for Zhang Yue and said, "I have instructed the kitchen to cook you a bowl of mutton noodle soup." ”

Sheep noodle soup!

Zhang Yue was full of happiness when he heard it, but after thinking about it, the mutton in Bianjing costs one hundred and thirty fifty wen a catty, and in Pucheng in the south, it costs more than two hundred wen per catty, even if the mutton in the mutton noodle soup can be cut as thin as cicada wings, it is not cheap, and my brother spends money indiscriminately.

Zhang Yue immediately said; "Brother, the sheep noodle soup is too expensive! Let's order something else! ”

Zhang Shi smiled and said in a low voice: "Let's eat the owner's family, it's not expensive at all." ”

When Zhang Yue heard this, he looked left and right, and Zhang Shi laughed and said: "The owner went to buy New Year's goods, and today the store is just me and the cook, don't you see that I am also an uncle?" I don't do that on weekdays. ”

The guys in the Song Dynasty were all called 'uncles'.

Zhang Yue was a little relieved at this time, and said in his heart, just as his sister-in-law said, his brother is now running errands.

Zhang Shi continued to wipe the table and said, "Third brother, what else do you want to eat, just tell my brother." ”

"A bowl of lamb noodle soup is fine, brother, since ancient times, the owner has not been shrewd, you are worried."

Zhang Shi said with a smile: "I'll just invite my brother to eat a bowl of mutton noodle soup, even if the owner knows about it, he won't say anything, okay, I'll bring you two more mutton fat cakes." ”

Zhang Yue put his mind at ease, although it was a little unauthentic to eat the owner, but he was still looking forward to the sheep noodle soup in his heart.

Zhang Shi put the rag on his shoulder and walked into the back kitchen, when two or three people in short beats occupied their seats and called: "Uncle, sift a few bowls of wine!" ”

"We don't sell alcohol. What kind of meals do the guest officers want? ”

After saying a few words, Zhang Shi was busy serving the food again, and Zhang Yue was a little sad when he saw this scene.

At this time, it was still early for lunch, and there was no one in the shop, but the back kitchen was already busy, and the smoke of cooking smoke was wafting to the street outside the window, and the smell of mutton soup came from the smell.

The cake in Zhang Yue's stomach was digested three times five times divided by two, and he was both looking forward to it and sitting at the table boredly watching the people on the street.

"Eh, isn't this Saburo?"

Zhang Yue looked at it, and it turned out to be another disciple of Zhang Cai and Clanology.

"It's me."

"Haha," Zhang Cai laughed, "I was going to look for you at your house for the New Year, but I didn't expect to meet you here." ”

"It's a song full of wine, where do you not meet in life." Zhang Yue said with a smile.

"Wonderful, this is the word of Dayan."

The three laughed in unison.

"Let's go inside and talk!" Zhang Cai said.

Another person glanced at a few people who were dressed in short clothes and said, "It's better to go elsewhere, there is not even a pavilion here, I'll be the east!" ”

Zhang Cai glanced at Zhang Yue, and immediately said: "Which round do you want to get Seventeen Lang, but it's better to hit this place." ”

Zhang Yue hesitated and nodded, "It's okay." ”

The three of them sat down together, said a few words of farewell, and Seventeen Lang said: "Uncle, please tea!" ”

At this time, the eldest brother, who was wearing a short shirt and no headscarf, came from the back kitchen with a mutton fat cake.

"Third brother, the noodles are still in the pot, eat these first," Zhang Shi put the bowl on the table, and when he saw Zhang Cai, the two of them were stunned and said, "Is it your classmate?" ”

Zhang Yue hesitated and said, "Yes." ”

Another classmate smiled and asked, "Why San Lang, are you familiar with the uncle here?" ”

Zhang Cai also smiled and looked at Zhang Shi.

Zhang actually thought that San Lang's two classmates were wearing scarves and crowns and student shirts, and he was Zhang Yue's brother.

Zhang Shi hurriedly said: "No, ......"

Zhang Yue rushed to say: "This uncle is my eldest brother." ”

Zhang Cai and his classmates were taken aback, and hurriedly stood up and saluted: "Hello Da Langjun!" ”

Zhang Yue said: "Brother, this is the Xuelu and Seventeen Lang that I learned from the maid book in Nanfeng Courtyard, and I happened to meet here today. ”

"Okay, good," Zhang Shi's eyes were a little full of tears, and then he patted his chest and said, "A friend of Nanfeng Courtyard is also a brother of our Zhang family, then call me Da Langjun, then I have to invite you to eat and drink well, and cut three catties of mutton first!" ”

"I can't help it!" The two of them were busy.

Zhang Yue said: "Big brother, you give each of us a bowl of mutton noodle soup!" ”

"Alright! You're polite. ”

The three of them had eaten mutton noodle soup, but when they saw that the mutton noodles were full of mutton, it turned out that the three catties of mutton were all in the noodles. This is a mutton noodle soup, it is a full portion of mutton noodles.

"Not enough for more!" Zhang Shi said enthusiastically.

Zhang Cai took the silver to meet the banknotes, but Zhang Shijian did not accept it. I don't know what method Zhang used, but he still forced the silver to pay the bill.

When the three of them went out, Zhang Cai said: "San Lang, let's go to visit Mr. in the afternoon, you can go with us too!" ”

Zhang Yue said: "This ......"

Zhang Cai smiled: "I know you don't want to come to the door empty-handed, I and Seventeen Lang just have a copy, let's balance some of you, how about going to the door together?" ”

"How is this ......" Zhang Yue to refuse.

The classmate on the side smiled and said: "How can this be done, San Lang will be our classmate sooner or later, so it's decided." ”

Zhang Yue hugged his fists and said: "Xuelu, Seventeen Lang's feelings today, San Lang wrote it down...... But I'll give the money to the two of you in the future, and if they don't agree, then please forgive me for not being able to go. ”

……

Zhang Yue and Zhang Cai, Seventeen Lang brought Lilly to Professor Zhang You's house.

Before entering the door, I saw an endless stream of people who came to visit Zhang Youzhi. There are not only official eunuchs and famous Confucians, but also village sages and scholars, as well as pure admiration of scholars.

Zhang Yue but see a color of green water brick wall, two black paint doors, the lintel is all carved, at this moment the guests are full of doors, the so-called talk and laughter have a great Confucianism, and there is no white Ding in the exchange.

After a moment of being led to sit aside, someone was sitting and talking.

"I heard that today's official family is delayed in determining the storage position, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are worried about this."

"A few Zaizhi are running for this, and I'm in a hurry to sit here."

When Zhang Yue heard this, he was really full of emotion, and when he looked closely, he couldn't help but look at a few fledgling scholars, and immediately smiled.

"Brother Cunru!"

A young man in his twenties walked over, Zhang Cai and Seventeen Lang both saluted, and Zhang Yue also saluted on the side.

"Who is I? It turned out to be Zhang Cai, seventeen, this one is a little eye-catching! The young man laughed.

Zhang Cai said: "San Lang, this is the eldest son of the gentleman's family. ”

"Just call me Cunru."

Zhang Yue said: "I have seen Brother Cunru, the boy is in the courtyard to help the book, Mr. Meng is lifted, and he listens to the ...... in the Dayjin Hall."

The young man laughed loudly, patted Zhang Yue on the shoulder and said, "Your name is Zhang Yue!" I've heard your name come from my father, and my father once said that he was afraid that his seal law would not be passed on, so you don't want to disappoint him. ”

Zhang Yue said: "It's Mr. who looks down on the kid." ”

"Don't be humble. Your modesty is that my father's vision of people is not accurate. As he spoke, the other party picked up the three-person gift list and read it.

The other party shook his head and said: "Zhang Cai, seventeen, you just give gifts, why do you send San Lang to the door with such a heavy gift." This is not to be done. San Lang, I don't mean it, you are in the academy to supplement the family, how can we accept you a heavy gift? If I accept it, my father will blame me at that time, and I can't help it. ”

Zhang Cai, seventeen was stunned, but this time the kindness helped.

Zhang Yue didn't know what to say at the moment.

Soon the three were led to the professor's visitor. The three of them stood outside the hall for a moment. looked at the professor and several old people in the hall, talking about calligraphy, painting and calligraphy.

When the professor finished talking about a pair of calligraphy and paintings, he saw the three of them and immediately smiled: "I've been waiting for a long time, come in!" ”

The three of them hurriedly entered to pay their respects.

Zhang Youzhi smiled and said, "The three of you all have a heart. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Youzhi said to a few people: "Several, I will introduce three disciples to you. ”

Zhang Yue was stunned when he heard this, he hadn't apprenticed yet. Why did Zhang Youzhi just say that he was his disciple?

These people are undoubted.

"Brother Boyi's height must be extraordinary."

"All young talents, one talent!"

The three of them saluted together.

Zhang Youzhi smiled proudly: "You all say that I can't get started with the seal law on weekdays, and the old man is untruthful, but this San Lang has done it." ”

"Oh? Is this true? That's to be seen. ”

"I have never known the true face of Lushan, but today I want to open my eyes."

Zhang You smiled and said, "I still can't deceive people?" Although my student is from a poor family, he can study as a tutor, but he can work hard, which is really commendable! ”

"Oh, I wonder which of the three weighs it?" A few people asked with a smile.

Zhang Youzhi smiled and nodded to Zhang Yueyan: "San Lang, these people are all local sages, you will teach you everything I teach you on weekdays, don't show timidity, let people laugh at the teacher." ”

Zhang Youzhi's words were full of intimacy, changing his usual indifferent and solemn attitude towards himself.

Zhang Yue was stunned at the moment, but he heard Zhang Cai on the side remind in a low voice: "The teacher has already ordered, what are you doing in a daze?" Hurry up! ”

Zhang Yue came back to his senses and said: "Yes, sir, then the student is ugly!" ”

Zhang Yue bowed, making Zhang Youzhi nod with a few old men, this son is so good at etiquette.

Zhang Yue immediately walked to the front of the case, but when he saw that the paper was laid on it, the moment he lifted the pen calmed the agitated mood in his chest.

The random chapter is more condensed and written, and the pen is walking the dragon and snake, just like the usual in the study building, learning words in the dream, and forgetting myself.

Zhang Yue was unaware of the words of the people on the side, and only heard a few words intermittently......

"How long has this son been studying with Brother Boyi?"

"Brother Boyi, this method is really true......

"This can be done forever...... Rare, rare. ”

"Every stroke is the same, and it takes a lot of hard work."

"Yes, a poor family can produce a noble son!"
