Chapter 402 is another year
Wang Zhenbai's poem "White Deer Cave" tells readers all over the world that as long as they concentrate on reading, time as precious as gold will pass quickly and fleetingly.
And "three watches and five watches of chickens, it is when men are studying" Yan Zhenqing's song "Persuasion" tells people that learning is not a fun thing, and you have to have perseverance to learn successfully.
As for Liu Guo's "Academy", "Mechanics is like hard ploughing, and diligence and laziness are self-aware." He also told the students that learning is hard work, which is more tiring than farmers plowing the fields, and this kind of tiredness is mental tiredness, a kind of tiredness that can't help but be "lazy".
These three poems are all that the dog learns in today's class, in fact, these three poems the dog will know a long time ago, not only the dog, but almost all the students in the academy will take the imperial examination, but why does the teacher who teaches explain it to everyone over and over again?
The reason is that today is the last class of the year, and after today, all the students will go home for the New Year's Festival, and they will not be able to gather again at Luyuan Academy to continue their studies in the spring of next year.
"Yes, sir, I will review my homework day and night, and I will not slack off in my studies!"
Everyone saluted the stern-looking gentleman in unison.
Seeing this, the gentleman behind the four-legged low table nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Let's go, we have worshiped Sage Kong with other students in the school, and we can stop classes and go home today." ”
"Yes, sir!"
With an expression of "reluctance", the students followed the gentleman of the school to the outside of the house, gathered the students of other schools, and under the guidance of Master Jin, lined up in a queue, and bowed three times to the statue of the saint in unison.
"Dog, dog, do you want to go back to Qingshui Village with us?"
Wang Hou, who walked out of the academy, excitedly hugged the dog's shoulder, and asked with anticipation: "Our village is lively for the New Year, and we have fun day and night, how about it?" Hang out with us for two days? ”
The dog slanted at him, and your father, mother, and grandmother were happy, so they didn't go to earn eyeballs, so they said: "I won't go, and I will naturally go back to my house for the New Year." ”
"Forget it, go back to your own home!"
The words were not speculative for more than half a sentence, and the two mocked each other for two sentences and parted ways.
This New Year's holiday lasted thirty or forty days, so I couldn't go home empty-handed like last time, and I had to bring the books I usually read and the notes I made, plus some bookcases with paper, ink, pens, inkstones, and a change of clothes, and I just got a carriage out.
The goods in Youchuan County are naturally not as good as Longzhou City, and the New Year's goods are naturally enough to buy here, so the dog began to buy and buy the rhythm, buying and buying, and suddenly remembered one thing.
Since I came to the academy to study with peace of mind for most of the past six months, I have completely forgotten some side things, such as Su Da Fatzi.
Thinking about it, the dog's back chills, but the current self has to be taken care of by him, if you forget this master, that day will be miserable.
So the dog pulled a cart full of New Year's goods that had just been bought, and went directly to Su Mansion.
I thought that the disciples of Sufu would forget themselves, but they didn't think about it, so they greeted them from afar.
"Zhao Xiaoguan, why are you here today, aren't you busy with schoolwork?"
Su Menzi led the dog to the study, and gossiped with the dog with a smile.
"Well, the academy is closed today, and my husband and classmates have gone home for the New Year."
"Oh, why did the little official come to the house if he didn't go home?"
The dog glanced at his door with a smile, and smiled awkwardly: "These days, the management of the academy is rigorous, and it is easy to be empty. ”
"Su Tongju is as kind to me as a mountain, the kid is not a person who doesn't know the number of etiquette, he wants to take care of me at the beginning, he also covered up for me when he made a mistake on an errand, and later helped me find a college, so that I can rest assured of the imperial examination, I heard that I have nowhere to stay, and lent me another courtyard to live, this kindness, the boy ......"
Everyone says that being an actor is talent, many people don't believe it, but today the dog proved it, not to mention anything else, just shedding tears at any time and time is an extremely difficult thing.
The cow does not drink water and presses its head, and the man does not shed tears and squeezes hard.
In this way, the dog finally held back two tears, these tears are so precious, they can't be wasted at will, so he raised his head, looked at Menzi with teary eyes, and said:
"Treat me like a parent, the kid can't add more, so today I came to greet the judge, well, uncle, this is the gift list brought by the kid, please smile."
"Okay, good" Su Menzi stroked his beard and said hello to the dog three times in a row, then stretched out his right hand to take the gift list handed over by the dog, glanced at it, and said with a smile: "You have a heart, I haven't bought it in the house all these years, and this time it's saved, hahaha, go, the general judge is waiting for you in the study." ”
When the dog heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "So, thank you Uncle Su." ”
"It's okay." Su Menzi waved his hand and let the dog follow the maid who came to pick him up.
"Hey, Zhao Dagou, why are you coming to my mansion if you don't go to the academy today?"
The big fat man was busy writing and drawing on the desk, and when he saw the dog coming in, he glanced at it in his busy schedule, and he didn't put down the brush in his hand, but just lowered his head and asked the dog.
"Hui Enxiang, I haven't asked you for a gift for many days, and I am here to greet you today."
Su Fatzi listened to the dog's words, the corners of his mouth were crooked, and he snorted coldly: "What are you here to greet, obviously you are here on the annual leave of the academy" As he spoke, he put the brush in his hand on the pen stand and sneered at the dog: "You kid is really rude, it's been three months before you are willing to come to my door, I know, I understand that you are busy with homework, and I don't know that I think you kid has a big shelf." ”
With a plop, the dog knelt down directly and saluted: "Where is the judgment, everything about the kid is all taken care of by you, this official and this study, and the place to live are all given by you, the kid is not a white-eyed wolf-like person, and he thinks about you all the time in his heart, but, since the last time we had trouble in the juggling street, the discipline in the academy immediately became strict, not only strictly forbidding us to run out privately, but also assigning a lot of homework every day, and the next day we had to be assessed"
"The kid is studying halfway, and his foundation is poor, so he can only use three times as much time as other students to review his homework, so he will keep up with Mr. Shang's homework, and he will come to you to say goodbye for a while, which is a lot less."
"No, today's academy is on holiday, the kid went to the market early in the morning, and specially bought a big car of Boxing gifts before he dared to come to your house, I hope you will understand."
Su Fatzi looked at the dog with a smile and spoke, and when he finished speaking, he waved his hand casually and said: "I'll joke with you, don't be so nervous, I also know that your academy is busy with schoolwork, as long as you study with peace of mind, it doesn't hurt to come to me a few times." ”
"Thank you, although the kid has come less, but I have been thinking about your kindness in my heart!"
"Hehehe!"
It was also in this study that there were five or six pots of heating stoves, and Su Fatzi was also wearing a dark green single coat, so when he opened his mouth to laugh, the fat all over his body was obviously trembling, and he also lost the dog crawling on the ground, and quickly pricked his head off after a glance.
"You have me in your heart, get up! The ground is cold in winter, and your body is thin, so don't freeze your body. ”
The dog hurriedly thanked him, stood up, and stood aside respectfully.
Su Tongju smiled, turned his head and instructed the beautiful maid who was waiting: "Go, move a seat for him to sit."
The maid replied yes, moved her waist slightly, and went to the corner of the house to move a mahogany soft seat for the dog to sit on, and the other maid also happened to make a cup of tea and handed it to the dog.
Su Tongju waited for the dog to take a sip of tea before he said, "I heard that you went back to Youchuan last time and went to Shitan Mountain?" ”
The dog hurriedly put the tea bowl on the table, clasped his hands into fists and replied: "Yes, the kid finally returned to his hometown, and he wanted to see the changes in his hometown, so he went around, and Shitanshan also happened to go in to take a look." ”
"How?" Su Fatzi picked up the tea bowl in front of him, and asked the dog with a mouthful.
"This charcoal mountain is really a big place, the kid thought that the charcoal was only a little in the mountain, but he never thought that the steward of the charcoal mountain said that the bottom of this mountain is full of black charcoal, and the scale is dozens of zhang deep, if it only depends on the more than 1,000 craftsmen in front of him, it will take decades to dig."
The Shitan Mountain in Youchuan County, if it is a government camp, the money from the sale, in addition to retaining a little bit of the local yamen, ninety percent of it will go to the national treasury, fortunately, this mountain is still private, so the profit is one point for each family, and there can be 30,000 or 40,000 yuan per month here in Sutongju, minus some capital, at least 20,000 yuan can be net income.
This money is not a small amount, so Su Tongju attaches great importance to it.
"It's a good thing to have a lot of treasures, I thought there was only one hill when I heard Zhao Zhijian describe it, and I thought that a thousand people are enough, and when I heard you say this today, the scale is still not small, well, wait for next year, I will levy another 3,000 people."
Three thousand? In this way, there are more than 5,000 people in Shitan Mountain alone, not counting the merchants who came to buy Shitan.
What does it mean to be someone? For dogs who have some insights into business, it represents silver ingots for white flowers, so dogs have come up with more than ten kinds of money-making deals in a few moments.
The dog can think of this, and the fat man Su in front of him, who loves business more than errands, naturally thought of it, and sighed at the dog with a cough: "There are many people, things are messy, just eating and drinking will cost a lot of money, as well as accommodation houses, Lang Zhonghe medicinal materials for treatment, as well as all kinds of forage for feeding livestock, worn tools, anti-hair thief guards in the field, and so on, dozens of items have to be spent on purchases, and the dividends given to me this year have to be spent, and they are lost!" ”
Lose? The dog glanced at the booklet on his desk that was keeping accounts, just the black briquettes could bring him a hundred yuan of income every day, this is just "a cow leg", behind the coal mountain is the whole cow body, and there is the Su family firm that does business for him everywhere, well, this Su fat man will really cry poor.
When the dog thought of this, he suddenly turned his head and said with a happy face:
"General judgment, there is just a militia group in this Yuchuan County, can you ask them to help you guard Shitan Mountain? In addition, I also know many langzhong, tailors, and horseman merchants in Yuchuan County, if you can trust me, you can help you buy all kinds of materials for this Shitan Mountain. ”
