There was only the rustling sound of writing in the Jiuzhang Hall, and when Zhang Datou looked in front of the door, he found that no one looked back, which was very different from the situation in his own half-mountain hall. So, although he still didn't have much of a good impression of Ji Jiu, he still couldn't help but secretly envy the quality of the students here.

The group of stinky boys in the Mid-Levels Hall, where would there be a day when he was so obedient...... He is not Zhang Chen, nor is he Zhu Er, he has no family background, and he doesn't have that arrogant capital!

So he came here now, just to pull people to watch the excitement with him, so as not to turn around and go back to the school hall to peep and be discovered, and there was no one to accompany the training. So, finding that he stood and stood without anyone paying attention to him, he had to cough lightly. However, no one reacted, and he coughed a few more times as a last resort, and finally asked for a scolding.

"Ahem, you're not an old man!" Ji Jiu got up angrily and strode out, and said with a smile, "What, is it looking for a dead ghost to go to the teacher with you to find out the news?" If you have the courage, go by yourself, and drag others to do something! ”

Zhang Da was originally at odds with Ji Jiu, but at this time, he was so broken that he was angry. But he turned his head and just took two steps, but he heard Ji Jiu's unhurried voice coming from behind him: "Anyway, it's also the chief of the fast, you just said that you want to ask the teacher for advice on something?" If you have to pull someone together, you are too bold, and the teacher will not eat you! ”

Too lazy to take care of the guy behind him, Zhang Da simply walked forward without looking back, when he came to the door of the school hall, he instinctively looked around, wanting to see if Ah Liu was there, but he didn't see anyone for a long time, but was mocked in a low voice by Ji Jiu, who was following behind: "Isn't our little master busy with the admissions interview at the girls' school these two days?" Of course, the sixth brother has to go over to take care of it. ”

Seeing that Zhang Da didn't seem to believe it, Ji Jiu said earnestly: "Don't worry, the sixth brother is really not here." Even if we are here, explain it well, and he will let us go. ”

Zhang Datou was about to sneer at each other, but he saw that Ji Jiu actually slipped directly to the door and listened, and even peeked in through the gap in the door curtain, and at this moment, he was immediately stunned by this guy's shamelessness. However, the next moment, he couldn't hold back in the end, and simply occupied the crack in the door on the other side. But after staring at it for a long time, he found that the two people in the room had not even changed their postures.

Zhang Shou sat on the Taishi chair behind the desk, writing something with his head bowed, and as for the blonde boy, he was sitting on a chair on the side, concentrating on the book in his hand, while scratching his ears and cheeks as if he couldn't understand. The two of them were so engrossed that they didn't even notice that they were watching outside.

In the face of such a scene, a person like Ji Jiu, who has always been slippery, can still endure it, but Zhang Da, who is already impatient, how can he endure it? At the door, he looked at it without blinking for a while, he only felt that his legs were sore, his neck was sore, and his eyes were even more sore, and he didn't pay attention, and his hand on the wall on the side used a little more force, and the result was ......

Of course, it was impossible to break off the wall, on the contrary, he lost his balance all at once, and fell directly towards the door curtain. Ji Jiu on the side was dumbfounded, and couldn't help but subconsciously reach out and grab a handful, but he didn't hold this big man, not to mention, the whole person was even taken down with a piece.

So, when Zhang Shou inside heard the movement and looked up, he saw two people slamming into the curtain from outside the door like a gourd rolling on the ground and fell in. He didn't even have to think about it to understand what it was all about.

I couldn't eavesdrop, but I threw myself into such an embarrassment, these are just two living treasures!

After Ji Jiu followed Zhang Datou and fell in, he realized what had happened, to say that he was ashamed and angry, he couldn't wait to even have the intention of killing. Eavesdropping outside the door, this dead guy can actually make this kind of farce, this is simply too embarrassing!

When he stood up, he lowered his head and said unspeakably, but as a result, the big guy who had caused him to fall into this embarrassing situation at this time actually got up and said quite confidently: "Teacher, you are in the same room with this guy, and the sixth brother is not here, we really don't worry about you!" This golden retriever monkey is weird, God knows if it will hurt you! ”

If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person!

Ji Jiu only felt a splitting headache, and was about to explain that he was by no means the same as Zhang Datou, but he only heard Zhang Shou actually laugh: "It's just that the skin color and hair color are different, just call someone a golden monkey, where is the bearing of the earl of this big country?" Besides, you've been peeping at the door for so long and haven't seen him honestly reading? ”

The blonde boy in the chair couldn't help but look up and glare when he heard the sound of the golden monkey, he had learned a lot about the basic conversation on the ship, and he had learned a little bit about the bureaucracy, but the most learned was the swear words of the sailors when they scolded each other......

That is, the captain later decided to send him to Beijing, so he urgently found a young and lively scholar to teach him etiquette and speaking, otherwise he opened his mouth, and the wonderful scolding could squeeze the current boy into a rage.

But at this time, when he heard that Zhang Shou seemed to be blaming the other party, he immediately lowered his head, even when he heard that the person was the earl's son, he didn't care too much.

While on the ship, he had already compared the situation of the officials on this side with that of Florence, after some investigation and remediation—although in the end he came to the conclusion that there was no comparison, because this eastern country was vast and populous, and Florence was far from being able to include the cities of Pisa and the enclaves that it later occupied.

Therefore, the nobles such as the earls, marquises, and grand dukes on their side are estimated to be 108,000 miles away from the nobles here...... Anyway, he can't afford to mess with anyone here alone, let alone this so-called earl.

Since no one can afford to mess with him, then he just needs to listen to the Bachelor Zhang in front of him. As long as people are willing to defend him, what does it matter if others scold him, can it hinder him from reading? Archimedes was still calculating math problems when the Roman army came in, and now the butcher's knife has not fallen on his neck, so why is he in a hurry!

Although he has been reading this book for so long, his biggest realization is that he regrets not trying to find a way to master Latin earlier! You know, Latin has always been known as the source of many languages, but after all, it is quite different from the Italian and Tuscan languages that he is proficient in.

But the difference is manageable, and he has enough confidence! What is self-taught, from childhood to adulthood, he is self-taught!

The blonde boy turned a blind eye to other people's accusations, as steady as Mount Tai, coupled with Zhang Shou's reproach, Zhang Datou suddenly felt that his charged punch hit the cotton, and now he suddenly forgot the purpose of just coming to investigate. Fortunately, he didn't come alone, and he was followed by Ji Jiu, who had nine twists and eighteen bends.

"Teacher, I'm just here to inquire, didn't Gonggong Chen say that these books should be translated? Even if this little brother from a foreign country can really understand, but he has a limited grasp of our language, which also requires our help, right? On behalf of the students of Jiuzhangtang, I am here to ask if there is anything that needs us. ”

Although Ji Jiu really wanted to hide as far as he could when he first saw this pile of heavenly books, he was too slippery compared to Zhang Da, and he didn't even want to move out of such an upright reason at this time.

However, he thought that such a grandiose excuse could be confused, but Zhang Shou didn't say anything, but there was a sneer on the side. He followed the prestige, and saw that the strange-looking blonde boy actually looked at him with a sneering face: "Earl, are you sure you can understand?" ”

If Zhang was a big man, he would definitely be sarcastic by these words, but Ji Jiu knew what it meant not to be too full. Therefore, he did not have the slightest anger on his face, but smiled at the other party.

"I'm not a count, you're mistaken. I'm just an ordinary student of the teacher, and I've only learned the scriptures, so of course I don't dare to claim to be able to understand these exotic scriptures. However, the teacher is not only my student, there are also capable people in Jiuzhangtang, Senior Brother Qi and Senior Brother Lu are extremely talented, and there are many people who have used what they have learned in all aspects. And most importantly......"

Ji Jiu saw that the blonde boy was frowning, and he didn't care whether this kid could understand or not, and said to himself: "The most important thing is that we are all willing to do our best to promote Ge's arithmetic, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the palace!" ”

"Wait a minute, you wait a minute!" The blonde boy finally couldn't help but stand up, and his brow was even more twisted into a pimple, "What is Jiuzhangtang?" What is Ge's arithmetic? And, His Royal Highness the Prince? Is Principe ereditario? ”

Although he had made up a lot of common sense during the nearly year he had spent on the ship and on land, it was clear that it did not matter to a foreign boy who had grown up in a small town and had seen the life of an ordinary aristocracy, that he had not yet fully mastered the language, but that he could not understand many idioms that others had taken for granted, and that was a fatal problem.

At this moment, a word instinctively burst out, and the blonde boy saw that the two people who had just broken in looked at him with extremely strange eyes, and he suddenly realized that what he said was also a book of heaven to them.

However, it would be great if there were other countrymen in this huge country, but since he entered the country, he has not met anyone with the same hair color as himself along the way, so he does not think that he can speak a word of other people's language, and they do not know his own language, which is not a big deal. All he felt was extraordinary frustration.

He had heard the legend of the country of the East since he was very young, it was said that there was gold all over there, milk flowed in the river, and honey knotted on the trees, but because the road was too far away, almost no merchant ships could reach it, and it was said that the powerful army over there would throw everyone who arrived into the black prison, but some people said that the country of the East was fake at all, and the merchant ships of the East were also fake.

But this time, he found that the black-haired and black-eyed Orientals on those boats were almost equal in mystery and strength. No, his father paid a terrible price, adding another good conversation to the legend of the East. And now, he has stood on the land of the East, but he can only hear about it, and he is still very unfamiliar, and the most important thing is that he does not know people's words at all!

The first time he saw the square-like words, he felt like he had arrived in another world!

So, having calmed down, the blonde boy immediately explained, "In our case, the word is prince...... However, I wonder if your prince will also read such books. ”

"Of course!" Seeing that he had aroused the other party's curiosity, Ji Jiu immediately slanted a slanted glance at Zhang Datou, as if to say, look, I can do it, and then coughed lightly and said, "Our Royal Highness the Crown Prince is diligent and studious, and he is also a student of Bachelor Zhang." He was very talented in arithmetic......"

Without even thinking about it, Ji Jiu's mouth burst out with a long list of words praising the three princes, so that Zhang Datou couldn't help but squint at him frequently, and his eyes seemed to be scolding, you sycophant. But what kind of face is he? I don't care about the cold eyes of the big guy at all, and I talk a lot of things, and I don't care if people can understand it or not.

And Zhang Shou didn't interrupt, just sat there with a smile and looked at the blonde boy who was obviously stunned by Ji Jiu's speed of speech. What are the virtues of the European royal families and nobles in these years, he doesn't know a lot, but he still knows a little bit about it.

Proficient in Chinese and heraldry, interested in literature and poetry, willing to fund science and art? Ah......h The curtain of the Renaissance has just opened, and the darkness of the Middle Ages has not completely passed, where are so many elegant aristocrats? And now the Age of Discovery has not yet begun, the gold and silver of the Americas have not yet been shipped back, and the rich are only a handful of people!

Many royal families and nobles have no surplus food, where do they get the elegance and learning? There are far more nobles who don't learn than they are learned!

Therefore, after Ji Jiu finished speaking, Zhang Shou lightly mentioned the schedule and class schedule of the third prince. At this moment, the shocked expression of the blonde boy could no longer be hidden.

The courses mentioned by Zhang Shou do not have those particularly esoteric terms, such as agriculture, gardening, shipping, etc., and he can generally understand what it means even with guessing, which is already very admirable. As for the two words of scripture and history, although he doesn't understand it very well, he sees that Zhang Shou deliberately puts it in the first place, and he guesses that it is history and literature and the like, and he can barely bring it.

And in the end, Zhang Shou finally explained what the Jiuzhangtang that someone just asked was: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince used to be a student of Jiuzhangtang, and as for this Jiuzhangtang, it is where I taught my student Ge's arithmetic." Ge's arithmetic is an arithmetic system created by my teacher, Mrs. Ge, in combination with Chinese and foreign arithmetic scriptures, and the things in these books are also included. ”

What was taught in the Nine Chapters Hall turned out to be something he was trying his best to understand now!

So, the blonde boy immediately dropped the book he was completely reluctant to put down just now, and subconsciously wanted to rush towards Zhang Shou, but his movements were still a little slower, because the big guy he had mocked before was actually a dodge in front of Zhang Shou, and his eyes were like looking at an assassin. Fortunately, he reacted very quickly, and shouted out his mind in one voice.

"I also want to go to Jiuzhang Hall to listen!"
