"Ahem!" As soon as Zhao Zhen's words fell, he saw a middle-aged man standing in front of him coughing dryly, and then glanced at Li Zhang and said, "Are you the prince's companion, why did you come so late?" ”

"This ...... Sir, the student's family lives far away, and it's the first time I've been here, so there was a bit of a delay on the way! Li Zhang really didn't know how to address the other party, so he could only call him "sir" indiscriminately, and he felt that he had come early enough today, and his breakfast shop had just opened at this time.

"My surname is Hu, tell me to talk about it straight, read it for your first offense, I will let you go today, but if you are late tomorrow, I will play the ten precepts first!" I saw this square-faced and black-bearded Hu Zhi said solemnly again, worthy of being a teacher, Li Zhang saw him and thought of the teaching director when he was in middle school in the later world, both of them have the same temperament, that is, strict!

"Students understand!" Li Zhang immediately nodded in response, and then walked quickly to the desk next to Zhao Zhen and wanted to sit down, but there was only one futon on the ground, and Zhao Zhen also knelt on the futon, which made Li Zhang only kneel on the futon, and he found that there were no books on the table, but there was an open Zhou Yi in front of Zhao Zhen, and Hu Zhijiao was also telling him the content of Zhou Yi.

"Isn't it a companion reading, why don't you even have a book, do you just let me sit like this?" Li Zhang muttered in his heart at this time, Zhou Yi was known for being obscure, and Li Zhang didn't have any foundation, so it was naturally like listening to a book from heaven.

There are too many rules in the palace, and this Hu Zhijiao is not so easy to provoke at first glance, so Li Zhang didn't dare to speak indiscriminately, after all, there was a long bamboo board on the table next to Hu Zhijiao, and Zhao Zhen couldn't be beaten, so this ring ruler was specially prepared for an unlucky person like him.

Hu Zhi told Zhao Zhen about Zhou Yi, who had been talking to Zhao Zhen for nearly half an hour, and then closed the book, and then let Zhao Zhen read it by himself, then turned to look at Li Zhang and asked, "What books have you read?" ”

"Huh? What is the book? Li Zhang hadn't woken up from his daze at this time, and asked at the moment following his words.

"Have you finished studying the Analects, and where have you learned the Pentateuch?" Hu Zhijiao saw Li Zhang's sluggish response, and asked again with some dissatisfaction, in his mind, the person who can be favored by the queen and sent to the prince as a companion must at least have a certain foundation, not to mention anything else, the most basic Analects should be learned.

"This ...... I know most of the words, but I can memorize a few sentences of the Analects, and as for the ...... of the Five Classics," Li Zhang said at the end, and he smiled a little embarrassedly.

After more than ten years of study, but in the Great Song Dynasty Li Zhang became a semi-illiterate, many traditional Chinese characters he learned during this time, and the Analects will only be the first few sentences, as for the Five Classics, he can't even say which Five Classics are complete, the Four Books he knows, but the Northern Song Dynasty did not have the Four Books this statement, until the Southern Song Dynasty Zhu Xi put these four books together to have the Four Books said, the Five Classics were put forward in the Han Dynasty.

"You...... You are older than the crown prince, why haven't you even studied the Analects? Hu Zhijiao couldn't help but be angry when he heard Li Zhang's words, he didn't expect Li Zhang's foundation to be so poor, and even the newly enlightened children were stronger than him.

"Hu Zhiyan doesn't know, my cousin's family has been living outside, and the family is relatively poor, in order to make a living, my cousin opened two stores by himself, which delayed his study!" At this moment, Zhao Zhen opened his mouth to defend Li Zhang.

"Hu Zhi, my foundation is indeed a little worse, but I believe that under your teaching, I can definitely make up for it in the shortest possible time!" Li Zhang also opened his mouth at this time, and by the way, he also gave Hu Zhijiao a high hat.

I don't know if Zhao Zhen's words played a role, or Li Zhang's words played a role? Hu Zhijiao's face finally softened at this time, and he said helplessly: "That's it, just when I accept an enlightenment student, I'll go find you a book of enlightenment, you can memorize this book first!" ”

After Hu Zhijiao finished speaking, he turned around and went out, and after a while, he came over with a book in his hand, and then handed it to Li Zhang, this is a "Thousand Character Text" for enlightenment, the corners are crumpled, it is estimated that Hu Zhijiao turned it out of a pile, this is not surprising, after all, Zhao Zhen was enlightened as early as four or five years old, and there are no other princes in the palace, so naturally there is no need for this kind of book.

The beginning of the thousand-character essay is very large, the first sentence is "Heaven and earth Xuanhuang, the universe is desolate", and Hu Zhijiao also explained the content of the thousand-character essay to Li Zhang, and then asked him to memorize it within three days, and he must also be able to write silently, after all, Li Zhang has a certain foundation, and he can't really treat him as a newly enlightened child, Li Zhang also feels that there is no difficulty, after all, this book is only a thousand words, and it is not difficult to memorize and write it down silently.

arranged Li Zhang, Hu Zhijiao continued to explain Zhou Yi to Zhao Zhen, and it was not until then that Li Zhang reacted, ancient teaching is one-to-one, that is, teachers can have multiple students, but each student's learning progress can be different, for example, he is learning a thousand words, but Zhao Zhen has already begun to learn Zhou Yi, so a teacher can only teach about twenty students at most, and no matter how much, he can't greet him.

The morning time passed quickly, except for a few times to go to the toilet and drink water, there was no time to play at all, Zhao Zhen seemed to have long been used to this kind of life, but Li Zhang couldn't, especially let him sit on his knees It was too uncomfortable, and finally he felt that his legs were almost unconscious.

finally stayed up until noon, Hu Zhijiao put away the books and left, and Li Zhang finally stood up on the table, and then moved his numb legs, and then said to Zhao Zhen with a wry smile: "Cousin, can I go back now?" ”

"What are you going to do, there are still classes in the afternoon." Zhao Zhen said with a natural face at this time.

"Still have lessons?" Li Zhang also felt that his eyes were dark when he heard this, it was nothing in class, but this way of kneeling and sitting was too tricky, obviously he usually sat on a chair, but why did he have to kneel when he was studying, could it be to show respect for the teacher?

"Yes, I studied poetry in the afternoon, but I changed to another Lin Yishan to give a lecture, his personality is much more cheerful than Hu Zhi, and he can tell jokes, I like to listen to his class the most." Zhao Zhen spoke again at this time, Yishan is also an official title, and the position is similar to that of Zhijiao, both of them are Mr. Zishantang who is responsible for lecturing to Zhao Zhen, but the subjects he holds are different.

"If you want to hear a joke, I can tell you a thousand!" Li Zhang said at this time, he stood for a long time, but he felt that his legs were getting numb and numb, obviously caused by the lack of blood flow, and he felt that his legs were going to be useless when he knelt down again.

"Really, cousin, tell me about it, I like to hear jokes the most!" As soon as Zhao Zhen heard this, he immediately came to Li Zhang's side and happily grabbed his sleeve and said loudly, he didn't even have anyone to talk to every day in the palace, except for reading or reading, it was really boring, and occasionally listening to a joke was the biggest spice in life.

"It's okay to tell jokes, but you have to promise me one thing!" Li Zhang suddenly had an idea at this time.

"What's the matter?" Zhao Zhen asked eagerly.

"Can we sit and listen to the class, I can't stand these two legs!" Li Zhang's legs finally regained some sensation at this time, and he said helplessly while moving.

"Haha, it turns out to be this, I've been used to it since I was a child, since my cousin doesn't like to kneel and sit, then I'll let people change it for tables and chairs!" Zhao Zhen couldn't help laughing when he heard Li Zhang's words, and then asked the chamberlain to change the set of tables and chairs, after all, as the crown prince, he still has this freedom.

Li Zhang didn't expect it to be so simple, but then he couldn't help but sigh that power is really a good thing, and what he had suffered all morning was not the same thing here in Zhao Zhen.

At this time, Zhao Zhen urged Li Zhang to tell a joke again, and he just felt something, so he said with a smile: "You must have heard the story of Yugong moving mountains, right?" ”

"I've heard it, isn't it that Yugong swore to dig up two mountains, and said that he died and had a son and grandson, and then the mountain god reported to the emperor after hearing it, so the emperor let the mountain god carry away the two mountains of Wang Wu and Taihang." Zhao Zhen nodded naturally.

"And what does this story tell?" Li Zhang asked with a smile at this time.

"I know, Lin Yishan told it before, this story tells us that we should not run away from difficulties when encountering them, but as long as we persevere, we can overcome this difficulty!" Zhao Zhen said again very confidently.

"Wrong, this story tells us that no matter what difficulties you encounter, the first sentence above will work better than you for several lifetimes!" Li Zhang said very sadly at this time, in the era when the Internet was prevalent in later generations, many stories were reinterpreted, and Yugong Yishan was one of them.

"This ......" As soon as Li Zhang's words came out, Zhao Zhen felt that his three views had collapsed, he had never thought about this story from this angle, but after thinking about it carefully, Li Zhang's words turned out to be very reasonable, and could even be said to be impeccable.

"Cousin, are you making fun of me?" However, Zhao Zhen also reacted quickly, and couldn't help but say with a depressed face at the moment.

"Hahaha~, just kidding, I'll tell you another story, there are three little rabbits, the first one pulls out a long strip, the second one pulls out a spherical one, and the third one pulls out a triangle, why?" Li Zhang laughed out loud at this time, and then began to tell the joke in earnest.

"Why?" Although Zhao Zhen felt that this joke was a little disgusting, he still asked curiously.

"Because the third little rabbit was pinched by hand!" Li Zhang immediately said the answer, but Zhao Zhen also burst out laughing all of a sudden, this kind of dirty and dirty joke was the first time he had heard it, so he naturally felt novel and funny.

"I ask you, how many steps does it take to keep an elephant in a box?"

"I don't know if it's ......." Zhao Zhen thought about it for a long time and couldn't figure out how to keep the elephant in the box.

"Three steps, the first is to open the box, the second is to put the elephant in, and the third is to close the box. I'll ask you again, how many steps does it take to put the tiger in the box......"

Li Zhang knew a lot of jokes, and in the end, Zhao Zhen asked people to bring food, and while eating, he listened to Li Zhang's jokes, and from time to time he could squirt out the rice in his mouth, but they didn't notice that when they were eating and telling jokes, there was already a figure standing next to him for a long time.
