Zhou Shilang looked at Jia Rui and then at Jia Zheng.

"Tianxiang is really knowledgeable, the old man has a reluctant request, and I hope that Tianxiang will be fulfilled."

"Your Excellency is polite, he's just a junior, just tell him if there's anything."

Jia Zheng is in charge of Jia Rui again.

"The old man wants to invite Tianxiang to go to the Mansion and teach the children of the clan how to read the sentence of Wenchang Xingjun."

"The adults are looking for you, it is your creation, and you should not quickly accept it."

Without waiting for Jia Rui to express his position, Jia Zheng agreed first.

"Lord Zhou speaks, and he is obedient to everything, dare to ask when it is convenient for adults?"

"How about tomorrow?"

"According to what the adults said, I will go to your mansion tomorrow to disturb you."

"Okay, tomorrow, the old man will call someone to pick you up."

After the matter was arranged, Zhou Shilang said goodbye, and several people sent Zhou Shilang all the way to the gate of Rongguo Mansion.

Zhou Shilang left, and Jia Zheng patted Jia Rui on the shoulder.

"Brother Rui is good, work hard, and strive to get fame next year. If you have any problems, come to me, don't worry. You can be promising, and it is also the dignity of my Jia family. ”

"Thank you for the encouragement of the second master, I will work hard."

"By the way, there's one more thing. Your uncle of the Wang family, please also go over and explain to the children of their clan how to read the sentence of Wenchang Xingjun. Originally, I planned to ask you to go tomorrow, but since you will go to Zhou Shilang's house tomorrow, I will go to your uncle's house the day after tomorrow. ”

"Follow the arrangement of the second master."

Uncle Wang refers to Wang Ziteng. Although he is not Jia Rui's own uncle, from Baoyu's side, Jia Rui calls Uncle Wang Ziteng right.

For going to Zhou Shilang and Wang Ziteng's house to take classes, Jia Rui is still willing.

This is not only good for increasing his popularity, but also for practical benefits.

Big families pay attention to decency, and Jia Rui went to give a lecture, and he was embarrassed to let him come back empty-handed. Before leaving, you have to give at least a red envelope of twenty taels of silver.

A circle of punctuation marks can recycle fame and fortune, and if the Arabic numerals are introduced again next year, wouldn't it cause an even greater sensation?

When he returned home, Jia Rui told Jia Dairu about going to Zhou Shilang's house and Wang's family to attend classes.

When Jia Dairu heard this, he almost jumped up, and hurriedly said five or six words "go". Then he went out, and when he saw someone, he pretended to mention it unintentionally, showing off his grandson, and at the same time did not forget to casually mention how he usually taught his grandson the successful experience.

The next day, the Zhou family came to pick up Jia Rui on time.

The family background of the Zhou family is somewhat similar to that of Jiafu, and it is also a noble family. The difference is only that the ancestor of the Jia family is a military general, and the ancestor of the Zhou family is a civil official.

More than 100 years ago, when the Dade Dynasty was first established, the ancestors of the Zhou family were Shangshu.

The current Zhou family, in addition to Zhou Shilang, also has her sister in the palace, which is currently popular and very favored by the emperor. This is also somewhat similar to the Jia family, but Jia Yuanchun is not as favored as Zhou Guifei at present.

The Zhou family is a big family in the capital, and there are more than a dozen people here. Today, there are more than 60 sons, young ladies, and daughters-in-law.

Judging from this point alone, the Zhou family is not only prosperous in literary style, but also much more prosperous than the family.

If a large family wants to prosper, it must not only look at the quality of the population, but also look at the number of the population.

At present, the second mansion of Jiajia Ningrong is not only scattered, but the quality of the jade and grass generations is not flattering.

Jia Zhen, Jia Lian, Baoyu, Jia Huan, Jia Cong, Jia Rong, Jia Qiang and others are basically people who don't learn and have no skills, and only know how to eat, drink and have fun a day.

In addition to the parents of the Baoyu brothers and sisters, other young people, including Yingchun, Xichun, Daiyu, Baochai, Shi Xiangyun, and even Miaoyu and Qin Keqing, have incomplete family structures.

Either both parents are dead, or they are single-parent families without fathers or mothers.

Compared with the Zhou family's Ding Xingwang and several generations in the same house, the Jia family is far inferior to the Zhou family in this regard.

gave Jia Rui the impression that the young people of the Jia family, if it weren't for the ancestors who pulled the girls together, seemed to be free-range.

The Zhou family's family style and tutoring also seem to be very good.

Although there were no elders present in class, they all behaved elegantly and politely. When I encountered a problem that I didn't understand, I asked for advice in time, showing a strong desire for knowledge. For Jia Rui, a temporary young teacher, he also showed enough respect.

At this point, it is also incomparable to the Jia family.

It took nearly two hours for Jia Rui to finish explaining the punctuation marks and leaving them with written materials.

Declined the offer to stay for dinner, Jia Rui said goodbye and left. Zhou Shilang personally sent Jia Rui to the door.

"Thank you Tianxiang, if you have any questions in the future, you will inevitably have to ask for advice."

"Lord Zhou is polite, maybe we will really have a chance to meet in the future."

"Oh? Tianxiang seems to have something to say? ”

"In the future, there is another thing that is more important and practical than the reading of Wenchang Xingjun's sentences, which may appear. At that time, if the adults are interested, the younger generations are willing to discuss it with the adults. ”

Jia Rui's first impression of Zhou Shilang was good, although he came to his house today, he was just familiar with his face, and if he gave him another sum of money, he didn't owe him any favors.

Therefore, Jia Rui plans to leave a suspense and have a reason to have a relationship with Zhou Shilang in the future.

His suspense is the Arabic numerals and arithmetic methods that he intends to introduce next year.

Now the mathematical operations of the Dade Empire use "one, two, three, four...... Chinese characters such as ten, hundred, thousand, and ten thousand" and abacus do not have mathematical calculations such as Arabic numerals and addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and the actual operation and recording are more cumbersome and cumbersome, far from being as concise and clear as Arabic numerals.

The application of arithmetic is more extensive, whether it is the imperial court, the government, the merchants, the family, or the individual. Jia Rui believes that the time will cause more sensation than punctuation.

"In that case, why don't Tianxiang reveal one or two to me at this moment."

"I also want to reveal, but Wenchang Xingjun said that the opportunity is not yet there, and he didn't tell me what it was. When the opportunity is ripe, he will naturally tell me. ”

"Oh, I see, I'll wait for good news. If there is any news, please let me know. ”

"When the adults say so, the juniors will naturally do so and say goodbye."

Watching Jia Rui walk away, Zhou Shilang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It's Wenchang Xingjun again, is it really fake? I'm also from a Jinshi, why haven't I met Wenchang Xingjun? Is there really no such fate?

However, it was absolutely impossible for him, a young man in his twenties, to create such a thing. This punctuation sentence reading, if it weren't for Wenchang Xingjun's transmission, there really would be no source.

A more important knowledge than the reading of Wenchang Xingjun's sentence?

It's really exciting.

The Zhou family's family sent Jia Rui to the gate of Rongguo Mansion and left a red envelope of thirty taels of silver.

The next day, when he arrived at Wang Ziteng's house, Wang Ziteng went out to patrol the border and did not come back, so Wang Ziteng's younger brother Wang Zisheng came forward to receive him, and after teaching the Wang family, he received twenty taels of silver, and Jia Rui came back.

As soon as I entered the Rongguo Mansion, I saw Wang Xifeng's chief maid Ping'er.

Ping'er, you dead girl, I remember that you seem to have scolded me behind my back, saying that I was a bastard who had no humanity, and I will scare you today to see if you dare to talk nonsense in the future.
