Chapter 296: Anecdotes of Idleness

Outside, the spring is bright, the grass is green, the unknown birds are chirping non-stop, and Zhu Ying's crisp laughter can be heard from time to time, but the fourth prince is impetuous, the more he looks at the topic on the paper, the more angry he becomes, and in the end he wants to lose his pen when he stands up hatefully. But before he could make a move, he saw his brother raise his head and look at him angrily.

At this moment, he suddenly sat back again, but muttered unconvinced: "The teacher is too much, it is difficult to go out of the city once, he can teach us a lesson if we are wrong, why do you come up with so many questions?" He's worse than a ghost! ”

The third prince also agreed with the fourth prince's evaluation in his heart, compared to beating the palm of the hand and copying the book, the punishment of doing the question is too torturous. You don't need to use your brain to copy a book, but you need to do a question. Especially Zhao Yuan, who finally left the palace and left the city and lived in such a big and fun place, was forced to do questions in the room, Rao is much more patient than the fourth prince, and he really couldn't bear it.

But he still reluctantly cheered up and reprimanded: "A teacher for one day, a father for life, how can you criticize the teacher behind your back?" ”

"But......" The fourth prince burst out two words sullenly, and was glared back by the third prince.

"Yesterday, you saw that the koi in the pond was beautiful, so you wanted to go down and fish, but you took me into the water!" The third prince slapped the table with his left hand, very brotherly, "In case something goes wrong with the two of us, have you thought about what to do with the concubines?" Besides, what will happen to those who protect us? Will the teacher and Sister Yingying also be unlucky? ”

"Also, if there is no hot water in the soup pool in this Daoxiang Village, what should we do if we get frostbitten? Do you want to stay in bed for months? Although he couldn't think of a single dead word, the three princes still listed a lot of consequences. Seeing that the fourth prince's face gradually turned pale, he frowned like a little adult, and then sighed.

"Hurry up and finish the question, and then go and apologize to the teacher and Sister Yingying!"

Zhang Shou, who was standing silently outside the door, heard that the four princes finally let out a soft sigh, which was considered a promise, and he couldn't help but smile slightly. Of course, he can tell a bunch of big truths to two people, but to be honest, the effect may not be as good as these two little guys taking the initiative to reflect. Moreover, although the third prince is not as prominent as the fourth prince most of the time, sometimes he really has the posture of being an elder brother.

However, although he knew that it would be easy for the brothers to leave Beijing, Zhang Shou did not enter the door and waved his hand to reduce the punishment. It's not a good habit to go back on his word, not to mention, he also wants the two of them to sharpen their temperament, so as not to turn around and have another accident. You must know that this time the brothers fell into the water and Zhu Ying kicked down the grape trellis, which is essentially the same degree of danger.

He didn't want to be like Brother Zhu and beat all the boards on the poor Second Brother Zhu back then!

A hundred equations to solve sounds like a lot, but in fact, most of the problems are simple addition and subtraction, only a dozen or twenty questions also involve multiplication and division, and only three questions involve fractions, but for the three princes who are very talented in arithmetic, they took it seriously and settled down, and finally solved it in about two quarters of an hour.

The fourth prince, who couldn't bear his temperament, took a while longer than the third prince, especially after seeing his brother waiting there after finishing it early, he twisted his butt even more, and when he was done, he breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately jumped up from the stool.

"Third brother, it's done, let's go and hand it over to the teacher!"

In the courtyard in front of Daoxiang Village, when the fourth prince almost dragged the third prince over, Zhang Shou, who was originally sitting outside reading a book, couldn't help but laugh dumbly. Under the expectant gaze of the fourth prince, he swept his eyes casually, and quickly pinched out the seven wrong answers on the top four princes' papers, and then threw the answer sheet back, and looked at the third prince again.

This time, after he finished reading it, he nodded approvingly and said, "The three princes have all done it right, not bad." ”

The fourth prince, who was drooping his head, suddenly became even more depressed, but his heart was full of ups and downs, especially worried that Zhang Shou would punish him for copying the question. At this time, he only heard the third prince speak: "Teacher, the fourth brother is just not careful for a while, after all, it is difficult to get out of the city......"

"It's because it's hard to get out of the city, so you just played directly into the water before?" Zhang Shou interrupted the words of the third prince, and when he saw that he was the elder brother this time, he couldn't help but bow his head, so he smiled and said, "Everyone has a naughty time, it's your sister Yingying, who also poured the grape trellis at the beginning, and I didn't get much better when I was a child." To punish you for doing a hundred equations is to make you remember the lesson. ”

"You know, the son of a daughter can't sit down, it's okay to play, but you can't forget the danger, understand?"

Seeing that the fourth prince almost nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, Zhang Shou looked at the third prince again, and when he saw that the person was solemn and nodded again and again, he smiled and said: "Okay, while the sun has not set yet, call your sister Yingying, let's ride out for a turn, lest you go out of the city or stay in this kind of deep house compound!" ”

Zhu Ying, who was coming over outside, heard Zhang Shou start muttering about the grape trellis again, and immediately hated it - of course, the most annoying thing was that she herself said the old thing about kicking down the grape trellis. But at that time, how would she know that Zhang Shou actually took the trouble to come up with such a story? What's more, he also took advantage of her!

I didn't expect him to be a gentleman at all!

Thinking so in her heart, when the group really went out to ride a horse, when Zhang Shou smiled and pointed out the scenery while starting to tell Tang poems to the third and fourth princes, she gradually forgot the initial embarrassment, and listened to it with great interest.

"When I was in the first class in the Mid-Levels Hall, when I told you about the disaster of the White Horse in the late Tang Dynasty, I also talked about the opening of the Tang Dynasty by the way. Although Tang Taizong, who single-handedly created the rule of Zhenguan, once smug and thought that all the talents in the world were in my country, the imperial examination did start in the Tang Dynasty, but the system of the Tang Dynasty was extremely incomplete, and how many talented people hated it, so Meng Jiaofang wrote a poem "After Dengke". ”

"In the past, it was not enough to boast, but now there is no end to debauchery. The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day. ”

After reading this poem "After Dengke", you may think that he is frivolous, but you must know that Meng Jiao was forty-six years old when he became Dengke. Tang Shi was admitted to the Jinshi once a year, and he stayed in the capital every year, and he couldn't return to his home, what was it like? That's why he has the more famous "Wanderer's Yin". ”

"The line in the mother's hand, the wanderer's shirt. Before leaving, I am afraid that I will return late. Whoever says an inch is careless, and he will be rewarded with three springs. If you listen to it, it's all sincere, and you may be able to hear the slightest frivolity? Therefore, among the "Three Hundred Tang Poems" personally selected by Emperor Taizu, only Meng Jiao's "Wandering Son" is missing, and "After Dengke" is missing. ”

Zhang Shou told the third prince and the fourth prince, and suddenly looked up at the sun in the sky, and saw that it was about to set, so he raised his hand and said, "It's almost dusk." Do you remember the poems about the sunset in "Three Hundred Tang Poems"......"

I didn't expect Zhang Shou to give a lecture on an outing, although Zhu Ying listened to it with great interest, she couldn't help muttering in her heart, she was just under the grape trellis, how could she think that Zhang Shou was quite funny when he told jokes? This is obviously a wooden man who doesn't understand the amorous style!

Seeing the third prince and the fourth prince nodding as if listening to a lecture in class, while looking at the magnificent scenery of the sunset, Zhu Ying looked at the sunset from afar, because Zhang Shou's explanation couldn't help but think of a poem - well, the predecessors.

"Xiang was unwell at night, and drove to the ancient plain. The sunset is infinitely good, just near the yellow ......"

She hadn't yet uttered this faint word, but she only heard the fourth prince suddenly mutter: "This poem was said by the father, good is good, but it is a little unrefreshing." The father also said that most of Li Yishan's poems are delicate and secluded, but this poem is very good, but it still has a trace of inexplicable emotion, and said that we children should not read more, and if we can't read it, it is easy to drill the horns. ”

Zhang Shou didn't expect the emperor to tell his son poems in such a way, and couldn't help laughing and echoed: "Yes, if you don't read the Water Margin, you don't read the Three Kingdoms, in fact, it's the same truth." ”

"The students remembered."

As soon as these words came out, he immediately received two approvals in unison. Seeing the expressions of the third prince and the fourth prince like Feng Lunyin, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. Immediately after, he only heard Zhu Ying say thoughtfully: "I heard that in the early years of Taizu's uprising, I specially visited Luo Guanzhong and Shi Nai'an, not only shared "Journey to the West" with them, but also asked them to write the story of Liangshanbo at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty. ”

It has not been a year since Zhang Shou walked out of the village, although he has worked hard to inquire about the various legends of Emperor Taizu, but it is impossible to cover everything, and when he heard Zhu Ying say this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

It turned out that Emperor Taizu not only wrote Journey to the West, but also communicated with Shi Luo as the author? Very good and powerful!

However, Zhu Ying's words were not finished: "Emperor Taizu deliberately placed them in a safe place later, and after the capital was settled, he sent people to ask for the manuscript...... Well, I finally pushed out "Water Margin" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" later. But Emperor Taizu was not very satisfied after reading it, and he personally picked up the pen to correct it. ”

Zhang Shou was already numb. Well, I changed it myself...... Most of them were changed to the version that was used in later generations. No, he can't overestimate Emperor Taizu's temperament, for example, if people hate respecting Liu and suppressing Cao, then maybe Liu Bei will be written as a thief! Why didn't he think to buy a set of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" to see?

"By the way, Ah Shou, why did you say that you don't read Water Margin when you don't read it, and you don't read the Three Kingdoms when you don't read it?"

Zhang Shou was suddenly slightly stunned: "Didn't Emperor Taizu say this?" ”

Seeing the third prince and the fourth prince shaking their heads in unison, Zhang Shou was very surprised. Jin Shengsi's famous sentence has been quoted by countless people in later generations, and he also thought that after the birth of the three famous novels, he wrote "Journey to the West" single-handedly, and also built a grand view garden, but let go of "Dream of Red Mansions" Emperor Taizu, who will definitely leave such a sentence early!

After all, "Water Margin" is said to have been banned in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Could it be ......

Thinking that "Water Margin" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" were all modified by Emperor Taizu, and he hadn't read the revised version, Zhang Shou suddenly had an abnormal headache, and he could only say vaguely at the moment: "I don't read the Water Margin, because the Water Margin is full of a kind of bloody and strong spirit, and the young man is impulsive, and if he gets into trouble after reading it, it will be bad." ”

"As for not reading the Three Kingdoms. There are many heroes in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and when they look back on the first half of their lives, most people will inevitably be depressed. Even if you are a hero, you will inevitably have the feeling of being a hero in the twilight, so you should not read more. ”

Zhang Shou only wanted to end the topic quickly, but when he saw the third prince and the fourth prince exchanging glances, as if he was about to ask a question, he quickly diverted the topic and said: "Okay, it's not too late, let's go back early!" Tomorrow, I will send someone to contact a few farmers, so that you can go to see the cattle and go to the field, I don't know if there are silkworms in this vicinity, and if not, you can only go to Rongshui Village in the future! ”

Only then did the third prince and the fourth prince shift their attention from Tang Shihe to the question of where to play tomorrow - for them, herding cattle, going to the ground, and raising silkworms...... It's really all about playing. In addition, they were very curious about where Zhang Shou grew up, and immediately stalked and kept asking, and even Zhu Ying was led astray by them.

And when he returned to Zhao Yuan for dinner and a walk, Zhang Shou took the third and fourth princes to sleep. Just like the last time he came to Zhao Yuan, he still chose Nuan Xiangwu - even if he was kidnapped to another room by someone under the incense last time. However, after burning his feet and lying down on the stepping bed, he suddenly called Ah Liu.

"When I get back to the city, you can buy three more sets of books for my study. "Journey to the West", "Water Margin", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". ”

Ah Liu hummed softly, and didn't ask Zhang Shou what he wanted these books for. It's just that after closing the curtain, he remembered what Zhang Shou said to Zhu Er in Zhang Yuan's study before. Zhang Shou said that in the bamboo house between Cuiyun, he not only found the scriptures left by Ge Yong, but also a notebook of Emperor Taizu's servants, why didn't he know anything about it?

Thinking so in his heart, he had no intention of telling anyone - of course, he was not going to ask Zhang Shou. People always have their own secrets, he has them, then, Zhang Shou has, this is natural. When he tiptoed on the ground to spread the mat, he suddenly only heard Zhang Shou, who was obviously lying down on the bed, suddenly speak.

"If you don't sleep on a good soft couch, what are you doing lying on the ground? Yingying said, the secret passage that was secretly opened here has been destroyed, with your ability, if you don't deliberately release water, are you afraid that a thief will touch in? Hurry up and go to sleep, don't be a snake! ”

Hearing that there was no reply outside, Zhang Shou suddenly got up suddenly, pulled the tent and looked again, only to see that Ah Liu had already taken care of himself and was lying down on the ground in front of the bed with a quilt. He immediately reprimanded angrily: "What about you! The pestle sleeps here, and if I get up at night and step on you, what should I do? You're not so vigilant at home. ”

"Be careful." Ah Liuyan spit out four words concisely, and then immediately closed his eyes. Immediately after, his snoring, which was as even as uniform as a robot, immediately sounded, making Zhang Shou, who was holding a tent in front of the bed, cry and laugh.
