Chapter 820: Learning Makes People Progress
Wu Dawei, who finally had a comfortable bed and a single room last night, suddenly moved to a small courtyard with his new teacher tonight. He was pleasantly surprised to learn that he was going to live here for a long time to come. After all, this is the capital of the Ming Kingdom, which is bigger and more prosperous than Florence, and he still lives in the home of an official.
The so-called servant's house that was assigned to him before is actually in quite good condition, not to mention the current treatment. Moreover, the teacher who had been specially invited to teach him would still live with him in his country, which was the treatment of a son of a truly aristocratic family - many sons other than the eldest son did not have this condition, and were either sent to be knightly squires or to the seminary!
So, the blonde boy's surprise was simply beyond measure. What made him even more excited was that the Liang father-in-law even brought a few boxes of books, claiming to be the teaching materials for his lectures. For him, who loves books like his life, it is like a mouse falling into a honey tank, or rather, it is like going to heaven.
Therefore, even if he was immediately carried in front of the strict new teacher that night and began the most simple education of the Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher, he was still full of energy and did not complain at all.
Zhang Shou, who quietly sent Ah Liu to observe and observe, when he learned that the teachers and students over there were actually in class overnight, after dinner, he accompanied Zhu Ying to take a walk and return to the house after eating, he suddenly took a light breath, remembering that he used to go to class during the day, homework at night, and only study in a different place on weekends and weekends.
He could even foresee the next painful study time of the blonde boy, but listening to Ah Liu, after following Liang Jiucheng back to the house, his eyebrows flew and he looked beaming, he felt that this studious boy was estimated to be able to hold on for at least a while, as for how long he could last, it depended on how determined the person was, anyway, Ah Liu was usually staring.
He had already finalized with Liang Jiucheng before, and every afternoon he would spend an hour talking about idioms and Tang poems and Song Ci and other things, as well as some simple historical stories and common sense, and then there was a calligraphy class, on the one hand, to facilitate Wu Dawei's slow acceptance, and on the other hand, of course, it was to consider that the little ones at home could just skip the class by the way.
Therefore, he had to instruct Ah Liu: "You don't have to soak in the public school every day in the future, or go to communicate with those three-minded and ninth-rate teachers if you have nothing to do, take some time to come back and be a good inspector, and learn a little yourself by the way." You need to know that learning makes people progress. ”
Seeing that Ah Liu's face was suddenly bitter, and he was as worried as when he used to teach people to read and write, Zhang Shou suddenly couldn't cry or laugh. Some people just can't be literate, some people just can't be literate, and Ah Liu is undoubtedly the latter. He patted the young man's head helplessly, and suddenly felt that in just a few months, people seemed to be taller than him, and he couldn't touch it in the future, and he was suddenly a little stunned.
Of course, this emotion came and went faster, and he immediately said angrily: "I'm not asking you to take the top exam, but as long as you put a little bit of understanding of learning martial arts into studying, not to mention much achievement, at least ......."
Ah Liu, who has never talked back to Zhang Shou, couldn't help but muttered in a low voice at this time: "At least what? Since I don't take the top exam, why should I still study? Isn't it enough to be able to read a letter and write a note? ”
Zhang Shou was suddenly choked speechless. He really wanted to say that there are people in the world who really study for the purpose of learning, but such people are obviously completely incompatible with Ah Liu. Of course, he can also say that reading is for the sake of understanding and knowledge, but the young man in front of him is very reasonable—his own reasoning; He was also very knowledgeable—his own ruthless insight, of course; So, he could only hold his forehead.
"Okay, okay, I can't talk about you, anyway, if any of those little guys feel that there is ink in their stomachs in the future, and then they will work against you, you can solve it yourself. At that time, others told you that a gentleman would not use his hands, and if you have the ability, don't use your fists and feet. ”
Ah Liu's face suddenly showed annoyance, obviously he had a headache after being tied up his hands and feet, after all, although he can say that I still have a head hammer and chest bang without fists and feet, anyway, to his extent, all the whole body can be used as weapons, and his teeth can even bite off the hemp rope...... But he knows very well that Zhang Shou is all for his good, and some occasions are indeed not suitable for hands-on.
Others don't know that the chief manager of Zhao Guogong's mansion is said to be the servant of the Zhu family, but in fact, he reads a lot, treats people quite elegantly, and goes out very well received, and the next few stewards who are trained as the successors of the chief manager are also highly qualified, exquisite, and very good at doing things.
Therefore, after being silent for a while, the young man suddenly spoke: "It doesn't matter if one day someone in the family learns well and behaves well, and I, the housekeeper, let him be the butler. ”
"Stupid, what nonsense!"
With this sound, Ah Liu felt a strong wind coming from behind, but he did not move, allowing the blow to hit the top of his head. After a while, the figure turned to him: "If the housekeeper is really just based on pure ability and ability, then there will be no disputes among the wealthy families." For example, in the past, the chief manager of my family, his family has been hereditary for three generations. ”
"His ancestor followed my grandfather, his father followed my father, and he almost gave away his life, and he was chosen by my father to follow him after the emperor ascended the throne, and then became the chief manager step by step. There is someone in the family who is more capable than him, but if you add up the qualifications, affection and ability, then of course he is the first. So, who should be in charge of him? ”
"Of course, seniority and affection can't work for a lifetime, just like my father, who is so strict and even cruel to my eldest brother, is it not because of their group of nobles, because they follow Emperor Ruizong, they are allowed to inherit the hereditary line for three generations, but then they will be demoted? Don't pass on the strict style, the children and grandchildren of the family have a tradition of doing solid things, and the title will be lost in the future. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Ying couldn't help but stepped forward and knocked Ah Liu's head again, and then said angrily: "So, you are stupid, in terms of qualifications, feelings, martial arts, and work, who in the family can compare to you, can you be replaced just by virtue of your good reading, and your ability to do other things in the future?" Who do you think Ah Shou and I are? ”
Even though his defensive ability was strong, Ah Liu was still knocked on the head by Zhu Ying, and although he was very happy in his heart at this time, he still didn't say anything. Immediately after, he heard Zhang Shou speak after Zhu Ying.
"I asked you to read, not to ask you to memorize the Four Books and the Five Classics. The Liang Gonggong invited by Yingying is different from those famous scholars and Confucians outside, he is not just learning, because he should not be interested in self-cultivation and governing the country and the world, what he is pursuing is only the footsteps of Taizu, and his lifelong wish is probably to translate Taizu's posthumous manuscript. ”
Thinking of Chu Kuan, who had also advocated to himself at the beginning that the inheritance of the torch relied on the eunuch party, when Zhang Shou said this, he was quite sure.
However, if Liang Jiucheng's ambition is anything else, then it is also ...... It's none of his business, because he always feels that the manuscript of Taizu in the ancient and modern Tongji Library is a sinkhole. At this moment, he is using this reason to persuade Ah Liu seriously.
"Whether it's that blonde kid or those little guys in our family, the so-called reading is to broaden your knowledge. What do you think the Liang Guild will teach you? He is also going to tell you all the famous people and famous allusions of the past 5,000 years. When he taught the blonde boy how to read and write, you certainly didn't have to listen to it. ”
This time, although he was moved in his heart just now, Ah Liu, who was still a little reluctant, finally stopped being depressed.
It turned out that he was asked to sit in on those ...... Isn't this similar to the history of his young master in the Mid-Levels Hall in the past?
Seeing that the young man finally opened his mind, Zhang Shou couldn't help but want to knock people's heads hard like Zhu Ying did. However, he was really worried that Ah Liu, who was already a tendon in his head, would be a fool, so he had to angrily drive away this young man who was in the midst of happiness and didn't know the blessing, and after the people flashed, he touched his chin thoughtfully.
"Yingying, my garden was originally quite large, and there were only three of us plus my mother, but now look at it, why is the population getting more and more, and it seems that it will not be able to live if it goes on like this?"
Zhu Ying suddenly couldn't cry or laugh. If you want to say that Zhang Shou's ability to recruit people, it is really not small - of course, unlike those dignitaries who like to recruit literati, Zhang Yuan lives here of course, but except for the three who fell into the water, the other two are non-mainstream, and the rest are miscellaneous and astronomical, and there are all kinds of people.
Therefore, she couldn't help but glance at Zhang Shou: "Yes, yes, the emperor almost gave you such a big garden for nothing, but don't we have children in the future, but we have no place to live because of your too righteous habits......"
Speaking of this, her tongue suddenly knotted, and her cheeks were shiny for a while, and she was indescribably beautiful. Even if it is a husband and wife, Zhang Shou discussed with her before that he would not be in a hurry to have a child first, so that the two of them could take care of each other's careers, so all husband and wife Dunlun have calculated her little life...... Will her words be misunderstood by Zhang Shou at the moment as she really wants to have children?
God knows that because of Concubine Yu's childbirth, she still feels depressed when she thinks about it, and she only feels very worried, very scared...... She used to like children very much, but now when she thinks of the pain of childbirth, she doesn't dare to give birth at all!
Seeing that Zhu Ying's face was red for a while, and suddenly turned from red to white, from white to blue, Zhang Shou, who wanted to take the opportunity to tease her for a few words, immediately pressed the original idea. also personally experienced Concubine Yu's childbirth, how could he not see the cause of Zhu Ying's emotional changes? To be honest, Concubine Yu was already born very smoothly!
If it is one of the new young people in the future who can think and play, then he may say without thinking at this time, you don't have to worry, we won't be born. But he also knows that there are many families who once didn't want to have children, but they regretted it in the end.
Therefore, he didn't let Zhu Ying immediately face up to his intentions at such a time, but first hugged people into his arms, then lowered his head and gently touched her fragrant lips, then moved away from a distance, and said with a smile: "Du Fu once said that there are tens of millions of mansions in Ande, and the poor people in the world are happy, and I will lend the mansions to those cold people now." ”
"When the day comes, they will surely bring me a thousand times the reward. Therefore, others like to recruit those potential talents who can rise to the top in the officialdom in the future, but I like to discover and cultivate by myself, if there are really one or two top-notch ones in the future, at that time, the husband must be rich and rich, even if we have children and grandchildren, we will worry about having no place to live? ”
Zhu Ying was directly amused by Zhang Shou's unashamed tone: "You still have a lot of money, you are rich enough to rival the country, throughout the ages, those richest people have all been killed by the emperor, that is, the emperor treats you differently, and the prince respects you even more, otherwise where would you have such a good life?" ”
Zhang Shou also laughed: "The lady is very right! But the emperor looks at it differently, the prince respects it to the fullest, isn't the most important thing isn't it, lady, you favor a rural village husband for no reason, so why am I a wife and a noble husband? ”
Obviously, he was ridiculing Zhang Shou, but in turn he was teased by Zhang Shou, Zhu Yingden glared at him angrily: "Who wants you to look so good...... Whoever wants you is different from everyone else! Anyway, the luckiest thing in this life is that I listened to my grandmother's words, and I was instigated by Na Zhu Gongquan to go to Rongshui Village! ”
After the couple imagined plans to continue to expand their home in the future, they naturally fell asleep together and spent an infinitely beautiful night. However, Wu Dawei, a blonde boy who was full of energy, got up early in the morning with two big dark circles under his eyes.
He has always felt that he loves to learn and read, and he has always regretted that there is no real teacher to teach him, so he is actually very happy that there is such a teacher for himself yesterday...... But that's really the devil!
Those rituals and practices such as the Heaven and Earth Monarch Teacher unique to the Ming Kingdom, this Mr. Liang did not teach him for too long, and the next people did not teach him any common sense in books, but forcibly asked him to have a lot of conversations.
You must know that although Wu Dawei can already communicate with people roughly, but those daily words are accumulated on the ship, and then trained on the way from Guangzhou to the capital, although there is not much problem with daily conversation, but when it comes to all kinds of specified descriptions, it is completely blind, so after an hour and a half of language training, he only feels that he wants to die in the end.
So much so that he had all kinds of nightmares all night!
Even when he finally woke up, it was not a natural awakening, but a forced awakening. And after waking up, he found that he had a cold and piercing soft towel on his face, which was simply frozen to the heart.
"The head is overhanging, the cone is piercing, your foundation is too poor, you should have the determination to study in the future!"
Last night, I had heard Liang Jiucheng say that he had said allusions such as hanging beams and stabbing strands, chiseling walls to steal light, and Yingxue reading, Wu Dawei, who was still sleepy-eyed, was shocked after hearing this, and he was not sleepy at all.
Therefore, after being sent out by Liang Jiucheng as a scholar, he didn't even have time to eat breakfast, so he encountered a half-hour morning reading class. After the morning reading class, there is a quarter of an hour of breakfast, then a quarter of an hour of walking and eating, then another two hours of class, then a quarter of an hour of lunch, a quarter of an hour of rest, and then another two hours of class......
In short, Rao is conceited and studious, after a whole day of class, seeing the group of boys who skip class disperse in a hurry, it is easy to get a little relief at this hour, he saw Mr. Liang's kind smile again: "The evening class is still the same as yesterday!" ”
