Chapter 6: The Birth of the Dead
The laughter was harsh, with mockery.
Zong Xiu turned his head to look and saw six young men riding tall horses, each followed by a scholar.
Yes, at first glance, it is the children of official eunuchs, how can ordinary people take scholars to school.
When Jiang Chen saw the comer, he hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Little Jiang Chen, I have seen the eldest grandson, Fang Gongzi, Wei Gongzi, Qin Gongzi, Du Gongzi, and Chai Gongzi. ”
"Hehe, you're sensible. Go down, it's none of your business here. ”
The white-shirted boy who had just made a sarcastic remark drove Jiang Chen away, and at the same time came to the pavilion and sat on the horse and looked at Zong Xiu condescendingly.
"You're the new assistant professor of arithmetic?"
Zong Xiu looked at Jiang Chen, who returned a helpless look and left in a hurry.
The only person who could talk to him normally was gone, and Zong Xiu sighed - he had already guessed the identities of these people.
Except for the heirs of the iron buddies who fought with Lao Li, who would dare to ride horses in the Guozi Prison and provoke the master by the way?
"Hey, are you scared silly? What do you ask? ”
The white-shirted boy raised his horsewhip and whipped it in the air.
As soon as the whip sounded, some people laughed: "Brother Lingwu, don't scare the master." Ha ha...... It's troublesome to be scared at a young age. ”
"Frightened just right! Next month's test will be waived. ”
Chai Lingwu snorted coldly, stabbed Zongxiu's shoulder with a horsewhip, and said, "Listen to Huailiang, I talked to you last night?" ”
The clay figures also have three points of fire, and they were provoked one after another, Zong Xiu was displeased, he didn't expect these small national guilds in Chang'an City to be so sloppy.
Chai Lingwu couldn't help laughing when he saw the expression on Zong Xiu's face: "Hey, this expression is unconvinced." ”
Zong Xiu was about to speak, when he saw a son wearing light leather armor and said: "Chai Lingwu, you are enough, we are here to talk to the master about things, how can you talk like this." ”
As soon as the man spoke, someone agreed.
"Brother Qin is right, the master has just arrived, and I don't know a lot of things, if there is anything to say, let's talk about it first, it's not too late to talk about it."
"yes. Didn't Huailiang talk to his master yesterday? It's a big deal to give him a few silver dollars, why do you have to do it. In two years, he beat away five masters, and this one was driven away as soon as he came, and His Majesty is not easy to explain. ”
Chai Lingwu was not happy: "Qin Huaidao, Wei Shuyu, you two are proficient in arithmetic, don't worry about the test, a few of us can worry." ”
Qin Huaidao glanced at Chai Lingwu, turned over and dismounted, walked in front of Zong Xiu, and arched his hand as a salute: "In Xia Qin Huaidao, the son of Hu Gong Qin Qiong, I have seen the master." ”
After speaking, Qin Huaidao pointed to the other five people one by one and said, "His name is Chai Lingwu, the eldest son of Chai Shao, the eldest son of the Duke of Chen." ”
"This is the eldest grandson Chong, the son of the eldest grandson of Duke Zhao."
"Wei Shuyu, the son of Zheng Gong Wei Zheng."
"Fang Yiai, the second son of Liang Gongfang Xuanling."
"Du Gou, the second son of the Du family."
After Qin Huaidao introduced everyone, he said, "Master, our brothers have the same intention as Huailiang. I guess I want to try something, Huai Liang told you. ”
Zong Xiu nodded numbly.
He was shocked!
The sons of the six princes came here, counting Cheng Huailiang who saw last night, and the heirs of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, he saw almost a third.
With the identities of these people, not to mention driving away the master who taught Guozijian, even Chang'an City can walk sideways.
Changsun Chong, Chai Lingwu, Fang Yiai, Wei Shuyu, and Du Gou saw that Qin Huaidao had dismounted, and they also turned over and dismounted, and the scholars behind them hurriedly patted the futon on the ground and waited for the five to sit down.
Wei Shuyu leaned over the bookcase and said lazily: "Huailiang told us early this morning, you promised to give him a test next month, and we have the same meaning." ”
The eldest grandson said, "Huailiang, but please have a drink, we can also give you benefits." Say what you want. ”
Chai Lingwu sneered: "You have three choices, either take the benefits and do things, or get out of the house yourself, or we will help you get out!" ”
"Lingwu!"
Qin Huaidao glared at Chai Lingwu.
He felt that Chai Lingwu would only get more and more stiff like this, and if he was like the previous five arithmetic assistants, he would rather be beaten up and tell the truth about their cheating, and make trouble to His Majesty, it would definitely be indispensable to preach.
Chai Lingwu laughed: "Okay, I won't say it." If you don't talk about it, I'll do it again. ”
Qin Huaidao hugged Zong Xiu again: "Sect Assistant Professor, we have also heard about you." I admire your courage to kill the enemy with a sword, but Chang'an City is different from Wuwei County, and some things cannot be done at the moment. You've also seen that if you don't give an accurate word today, you won't be able to look good, so ......"
Zong Xiu took a deep breath and calmed the anger in his heart.
He was depressed now.
Yes, the other party is a prince and nobleman, and he can't afford to mess with his identity.
Just because he can't be provoked doesn't mean he won't be angry!
And Jiang Chen also told him: After the test, Lao Li is very likely to personally assess arithmetic, once he finds that there is a suspicion of cheating, the heirs of the prince will be scolded at most, and he, the master who helped cheat, will become a crime of bullying.
Zong Xiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "What if I don't agree?" ”
"Then hit until you say yes!"
Chai Lingwu Huoran got up, the whip in his hand was raised, and he was about to fight, but he was stopped by Qin Huaidao.
Fang Yiai next to him also got up and sneered: "Are you going to toast and not eat and drink?" ”
Although Changsun Chong, Du Gou, and Wei Shuyu didn't move, they all had bad eyes.
Seeing everyone looking at him coldly, Zong Xiu was also a little stunned in his heart.
But he knows very well: It is terrible for the heir of the prince of the country to start a fire, but it is even more terrible for Lao Li to be angry.
Rather than offending Lao Li, it is better to offend these small princes. If you don't use some means to subdue these thorns today, don't think about mixing up in Guozijian in the future, maybe you won't even be able to stay in Chang'an City.
Thinking of this, Zong Xiu forcibly calmed down and sneered: "You are all the sons of the country, you don't want to make progress, you don't want to pass the test with your own talents, but you are bent on cheating, are you ashamed of this kind of behavior?" ”
"The way of arithmetic is the foundation of all learning, and you don't even want to learn the most basic mathematics and science, are you worthy of your identity?"
"I'm putting my words here today! If you want to learn, I can teach you! Just study arithmetic the way I do, and I guarantee you'll all pass the exam next month. If you want me to help you cheat, there's no way! ”
Zong Xiu said that the righteousness was awe-inspiring, but Chai Lingwu, Changsun Chong and others laughed.
"Don't be ashamed! Although arithmetic is the last of the six learnings, it is by no means something that can be mastered in ten days and half a month, and you are young and have some ability, and you dare to speak wildly here, saying that you want to teach us. ”
"It's true that the countryman has never seen the world, so you still teach us? Boy, you only got here by chance. If you talk about real talent and real learning, I'm afraid you can't even pass the student assessment of the Guozijian! ”
Zong Xiu said provocatively: "I want to know how much ability I have, why don't you try it yourself?" If I dare to speak, I will be sure of victory! Don't say I won't give you a chance, today you will either beat me to death or be my student honestly! ”
