The number of people who asked for special tutoring was seventeen in total, slightly less than the number of people who had studied in Cuiyun's room, but also slightly more than Zhang Shou expected. After all, in addition to Zhang Chen, there were also people with good backgrounds who should not have a good marriage. And he also grasped the mood of these people after the initial ridiculous emotions passed.

Just like what he said when he taught Zhu Er, maybe these people may not want to be a real lord or marry a county lord and achieve a good marriage, but they definitely want to show themselves in front of the emperor and win attention. In this way, even if they may not be able to become royal sons-in-law, other families may pay attention to them.

However, Zhang Shou was really helpless. If it is a love guide, maybe he can also make a cameo appearance with the seemingly rich experience in his previous life, the problem is that it is easy to meet Princess Deyang once, it is also easy to take a look at Princess Yongping from afar, and it is not difficult to meet those two county lords, but don't think about it. However, what people want him to teach now is, how to deal with his father-in-law?

At this moment, seeing that these noble disciples skipped the elective classes in the afternoon, and begged him to hand over the Jiuzhangtang to Lu Sanlang to teach for an afternoon, all of them were crowded in the Xiao family's compound, Zhang Shou couldn't help rubbing his temples, and then said angrily: "There are some things that can only be understood, not spoken, what do you want me to tell you?" ”

Zhang Lu was the most slippery, and at this time he was the first to smile and said: "Mr. Xiao, why don't we do the same as at the beginning, you come one by one, and teach the opportunity in private?" ”

"Okay." Zhang Shou also felt a little embarrassed in the face of this large number of expectant eyes, and immediately accepted it, "You guys think about what you want to ask, and then come in one by one and ask." I don't promise you'll be able to use it in the future......"

As soon as he said this, Ah Liu's abrupt voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Father-in-law Chu is here." ”

The three words of Gonggong Chu, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but think about a few more whys when they heard it, not to mention these noble children in the courtyard? For a while, everyone was busy, everyone was panicked, and they were even begged by Zhang Wu and Zhang Lu to come over - of course, Zhang Chen, who actually wanted to come to inquire about one or two, was no exception - because he never expected that his mother would not ask him, and directly reported him!

At this time, they saw a clear action from Zhang Shou. Zhang Shou directly stretched out his hand and pointed to the room behind him!

In an instant, Zhang Chen took the lead, and a large number of boys and buddies rushed into the house, listening carefully and curiously to the movements outside. As for those who occupy various vantage points such as door cracks and window cracks, they sneak a peek out by the way.

After a while, they heard a very kind voice: "Is Dr. Zhang there?" ”

"Father-in-law Chu, you are really clairvoyant, how do you know that I am here?" Zhang Shou had already arrived at the door in person as he spoke. Although he knew that with Ah Liu's ears and eyes, he would definitely not report Chu Kuanzhen when he arrived at the door, but he still wanted to leave some time and space for those sons and buddies inside to hide. When he saw Chu Kuan get off the horse and arch his hand with a smile, he returned the salute.

"It's not clairvoyance, I first went to the Jiuzhang Hall of the Guozijian, listened to the lecture of the little fat man of the Lu family for a while, and asked him again, so I came here on purpose." Chu Kuan said and glanced at the low wall quietly, but did not go in, but said with a sigh, "Who would have thought that a person as strong and upright as Liu Shilang in the past would hide here. ”

Zhang Shou knew that Chu Kuan must not have mistaken the location of the blacksmith shop here and next door when he said this, and nine times out of ten it implied that he had long known that Zhu Ying's eldest brother Zhu Tingfang was studying here. At that moment, he laughed and said: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced." ”

If it was so light, Chu Kuan was naturally dissatisfied. But today's time and place is not a good opportunity for a long talk, he can only laugh, which can be regarded as a divergence from the topic: "I am here to give Dr. Zhang a message to you, although the Ministry of Rites has not yet been screened, but the emperor saw the list of applicants, and laughed and said that the royal daughter has a good tutor and does not worry about getting married, so he invited Dr. Zhang to choose one." ”

What does that mean?

Zhang Shou was stunned for a moment. He would not be mistaken for thinking that the emperor would encourage him to apply for the election as well, but if Chu Kuan meant that the emperor asked him to be an interviewer and interview his prospective son-in-law and prospective niece-in-law, what kind of mentality is this? After a moment of hesitation, he couldn't help but cough twice: "This...... Isn't it inappropriate? ”

Let the group of noble disciples go into the house to avoid Chu Kuan, Zhang Shou was to prevent embarrassment to each other, and he didn't expect to hide it from Chu Kuan, so at this time, he deliberately glanced inside the door, and then said in a low voice: "Besides, among the people who applied for the election, there should be many students who I have taught." Since the emperor said that he was personally elected, I am a foreign minister, which is not very ......"

He swallowed back the word rules and put it in a different way: "This doesn't make sense." ”

Chu Kuan expected that Zhang Shou would have such a reaction, so he immediately stepped forward and lowered his voice with sincerity: "The emperor has asked the Ministry of Rites to set the regulations, after the initial screening, leave eighty people, and then let me and Chen Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites and the two waiters together, look at the appearance, ask about the family history, explore the temperament, listen to the sound and distinguish the form, and keep forty people." And the next forty people, the emperor will see them one by one. ”

Isn't that something wrong with me? Zhang Shouzheng was thinking so, but he saw Chu Kuan smiling at himself.

"When the emperor sees them in person, please ask Dr. Zhang to accompany him."

Chu Kuan was stunned when he saw Zhang Shoudeng, although he felt that when the emperor explained him, he also felt that it was too child's play, but he still had to finish his words with a dry smile: "The emperor said that after seeing a peer like Dr. Zhang, who is so good-looking and talented, some people will inevitably try their best to express themselves because of their momentary competitiveness, and some people will inevitably cringe because of excessive blows. ”

"And Zhuyu is on the side, but people who can still show a normal heart, not to mention talent, at least the temperament is passable."

What is the jewel on the side...... Co-authored Emperor, you're putting me next to me as a litmus test, aren't you?

While Zhang Shou laughed and laughed, he also had to sigh at the emperor's creativity. However, for the children of Guijie who have never seen him, this is indeed very operational, because as long as he sits there, those who see him will definitely want to compare themselves with him, and those who lack self-confidence will worry that the emperor will compare him with him, which is a good way to sieve people.

But...... For those children of Guijie who have been his students for a long time, he is not only not a deterrent, but also an encouragement! Because they've long been accustomed to his presence!

He couldn't help laughing: "Your Majesty, this is a clear carriage and horse to give the prisoners of the Banshan Hall a chance?" ”

Seeing that Zhang Shou had already understood, Chu Kuan couldn't help but sigh: "What does Dr. Zhang think, that's your own business." Of course, every time you meet someone, the emperor will still ask you what your evaluation and perception of those people are, and the emperor would like to take a test, Dr. Zhang, what do you have in the way of observing people. ”

Seeing that Chu Kuan said this, he nodded with a smile, and just left like this, Zhang Shou stood in place and thought for a moment, then shook his head and smiled. He turned around and returned to the gate of the courtyard, and then he exclaimed angrily, "Have you all peeked enough?" ”

With these words, the two peepers in front of the door who had torn the curtain in a mess slipped out unnaturally, followed by the others. When the people stood in the courtyard again, he said angrily, "Okay, okay, it's all gone!" ”

Finding that Zhang Shou had actually reversed his previous promise, everyone suddenly chuckled in their hearts, and Zhang Chen couldn't help but ask: "What, could it be that Gonggong Chu said something?" He even has to take care of your students, little sir? ”

"Originally, it was a very personal matter, I don't know what the emperor asked, what is there to guide you? However, just now, Gonggong Chu did pass the word, and the emperor instructed that when he finally elected himself, I would follow by and do some consulting and evaluation. If you want me to say good things to you when the time comes, you should behave well first, and then talk about it after the preliminary screening and re-selection! ”

Yes? When they vaguely heard about the election just now, they felt strange, but they didn't expect the emperor to order Zhang Shou to choose someone!

For a while, everyone was stunned, but as Zhang Lu cheered, everyone else also reflected, and the cheers came one after another. With Zhang Shou here, when they face the saint, they will be much more confident, but others are different, with Zhang Shou by the emperor's side, it is a person who will be unstable when he sees him, regardless of men and women.

"Keep your mouth shut, don't get the news all over the city today or the next day. Remember to be honest when you face the saints. ”

"Yes, yes, of course! Everyone is silent, the more people know, when they look back and see Mr. Xiao, the smaller the chance of surprise, and what the result will be, everyone should be clear! Zhang Lu immediately echoed loudly.

"Little sir, don't worry, let's hold back, never say anything, look back at their jokes!"

So, under Zhang Shou's drive again, everyone immediately dispersed happily. And Zhang Shou breathed a sigh of relief, and then re-entered the room. When he arrived at the East House, he saw that Xiao Cheng was still practicing calligraphy seriously. Obviously, just in that noisy and messy environment, the little guy still didn't stop writing.

He stood behind the person and looked at it for a while, only to see that the stroke was very similar to the handwriting of Zhu Ying's eldest brother Zhu Tingfang that he had seen before, and patted him on the shoulder thoughtfully at the moment, until the person came to his senses and turned his head to look at him in some astonishment, he asked: "Xiao Cheng, have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future?" ”

Xiao Cheng, who was still holding the brush in his right hand, did not answer, but the fingers holding the pen couldn't help but tremble slightly. After a long while, he whispered, "I want to be a general like Brother Zhu...... I want to fight after him in the future! ”

This is really the ambition that arises after admiration and imitation......

Zhang Shou sighed in his heart, then touched his round head, and said word by word: "Work hard, I will say to Mrs. Tai when I turn around, please ask the person who taught you Brother Zhu to teach you martial arts, you will definitely achieve your wish!" ”

Xiao Cheng turned his head suddenly, and when he saw Zhang Shou striding out, he couldn't help biting his lip, and his mood was indescribably complicated. In the past, he didn't know who Brother Zhu was, and he didn't know where to ask whom, but now he gradually understood. It turned out that Brother Zhu was the eldest son of Zhao Guogong who led the troops to attack but lost his whereabouts!

But he didn't believe that Brother Zhu would lose the battle, and he would definitely return safely!

Although Zhang Shou had never met Zhu Ying's eldest brother, whether it was Zhu Ying or Zhu Er's attitude towards the eldest brother, or Mrs. Tai's trust and expectations for the eldest grandson, as well as the information he had heard these days, he already had a rough impression that this eldest son of Zhao Guogong was a capable and ambitious, extremely self-disciplined, and jealous and hateful person.

However, even if Mrs. Tai's side has confirmed that the situation on Zhao Guogong's side seems to be very good, Zhu Tingfang is still missing, and he can't help but think about the worst, and waking up Zhu Er is for this consideration. The prodigal son turned back to become a genius, and it is rare for one out of a hundred to succeed, and Zhu Er is not a person with that kind of qualification and good luck at first glance.

Therefore, it is a good choice to marry a clan girl who the emperor is willing to come forward to marry. Obviously, Mrs. Tai also thinks so, otherwise, Zhu Er's name would not appear on the list of the Ministry of Rites.

Since Xiao Cheng was unwilling to move to the Zhao Guogong Mansion, after Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang discussed, she picked an old Cheng cook in her early thirties from the family to come over, and originally planned to pick two more little girls, but under Zhang Shou's persuasion, they finally agreed, and let Yang Hao and Qiao Dang, two teenage country boys, accompany Xiao Cheng by the way, but transferred several guards with good martial arts to come over to see the house.

One is to protect this child that Zhu Tingfang also values, and the other is to help Zhang Shou look at the blacksmith shop next to him. Zhang Shou didn't know that if it weren't for the fact that he had just picked up the blacksmith shop brand he had just bought through Lu Sanlang, and he hadn't done daily business recently, Mrs. Tai and Jiuniang would have to send a big business to him through a secret relationship.

Anyway, the class had already been lost to Lu Sanlang, and Zhang Shou was not in a hurry to return to the prison, so he went to see the progress of Luo Xiaoxiao and Zhao Siguanqiu first. Seeing that Zhao Si has further improved and enriched the details of the drawings in his abstract painting style, he can already start trial products, Luo Xiaoxiao has also got a lot of steel materials of different sizes from Blacksmith Zhang, and Guan Qiu seems to be out of business.

I saw several wooden shelves in front of him, and several different pendants were tied with silk threads of the same length, which were beginning to swing at different heights. Seeing the young man's eyes reddening staring at these single pendulums at almost the same rate, as if he wanted to figure out the principle, Zhang Shou couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Don't try again. Ideally, if the pendulum length is the same, the single pendulum period is equal. ”

Guan Qiu looked back blankly, but his eyes, which had been slightly sunken, suddenly gradually bloomed with a different brilliance: "Doesn't that mean that with such a thing, you can also accurately calculate time?" ”

Facing that expectant gaze, Zhang Shou suddenly smiled: "That's right. ”
