Chapter 90: How High Is the Sky? How thick is the ground?
The food in the palace is quite good, the key ingredients are good, the meat dishes are mainly mutton, all kinds of seasonal vegetables are also very fresh, coupled with the skills of the imperial chef, the various dishes made are also very attractive, Li Zhang casually told jokes with Zhao Zhen while eating, and the atmosphere was also very relaxed.
But at this moment, the corner of Li Zhang's eyes suddenly swept to the door and there was an old man standing outside the door, only to see that the other party was about sixty or seventy years old, his hair and beard were all white, his face was full of wrinkles, his loose eyelids were drooping, and his eyes were a little gloomy.
"Lin Yishan, why did you come so early, have you ever eaten, why don't you eat with us?" At this time, Zhao Zhen also noticed the old man outside the door, and shouted in surprise at the moment, and then Li Zhang knew that he was Lin Yishan, who was teaching poetry in the afternoon.
"The prince is polite, I have already eaten it at the Ministry of Industry." I saw that when this Lin Yishan saw Zhao Zhen, a bright smile appeared on his wrinkled old face, and then he looked at Li Zhang and said, "This is the new companion, right?" ”
"See Lin Yishan!" Although Li Zhang didn't like this person, he still saluted as a student, after all, he has been a human being for two lifetimes, and he still has this kind of look and the city government.
"Yes, my cousin is my aunt's son, I just met a few days ago, and my cousin is very knowledgeable, we had a good conversation just now!" I saw that Zhao Zhen also excitedly introduced to Lin Yishan at this time, compared to when he talked directly in front of him before, Zhao Zhen seemed to be much more relaxed about this Lin Yishan, and it seemed that he did like each other more.
Lin Yishan was also looking at Li Zhang at this time, and soon stroked his beard and smiled: "The old man has long heard that the queen has recognized the family affairs, but I didn't expect the queen to trust you so much that she would let you serve as the prince's companion, but although you are a royal relative, you must follow the rules of the palace as soon as you enter the palace, especially the prince's education is very important, you must study more hard in the future, and you must not bring the bad habits outside the palace to the prince!" ”
Although Lin Yishan's tone when he spoke was kind, the meaning of his words was not polite at all, it seemed that not only Li Zhang didn't like him, but he also didn't like Li Zhang, there are such people in this world, even if they meet for the first time, they can dislike each other.
"Lin Yishan rest assured, although he is young, he has not contracted any vices, unlike some older people who will mislead people's children!" Li Zhang also smiled back at this time, this Lin Yishan was full of hostility when he saw him for the first time, and he naturally would not be polite.
Lin Yishan didn't expect Li Zhang to dare to fight back, he was stunned for a moment, and then a little anger flashed in his eyes, but at this time, Zhao Zhen also felt that the atmosphere between the two was a little wrong, and hurriedly interrupted: "Lin Yishan, my cousin came for the first time today, and the foundation is also a little worse, Hu Zhizhi asked my cousin to learn a thousand words first, what do you think?" ”
"If the foundation is poor, you have to work harder, the thousand-character essay is the learning of enlightenment, if you don't understand anything in the future, you can ask the old man for advice, don't bother the prince too much!" At this time, Lin Yishan spoke again, and when he said the end, he even had a bit of a warning look in his eyes when he looked at Li Zhang.
Li Zhang was also a little annoyed at this time, and just wanted to sneer at each other, but he didn't expect Zhao Zhen to play a round again: "Lin Yishan doesn't have to worry, although my cousin has a poor foundation, he is very smart, and his knowledge is not comparable to me, maybe I will have to ask my cousin for more advice in the future!" ”
"Young people don't think that listening to more rumors on the streets and alleys means that they are knowledgeable, only when they read more can they know how high the day is and how thick the ground is!" Lin Yishan seemed to be very hostile to Li Zhang, and at this time he even taught a lesson again.
In fact, don't look at Li Zhang as Zhao Zhen's cousin, but the relationship between his relatives is too far away, and let alone Li Zhang, even if it is a relative like Liu Mei, Lin Yishan will not take it seriously.
Li Zhang was even more annoyed at this time, and just wanted to fight back, but at this time, he suddenly had an idea, and then turned to smile and said: "Lin Yishan said this, he must be a very knowledgeable person, but the student wants to ask, how high is this day, and how thick is the ground?" ”
Lin Yishan was originally just a metaphor, but Li Zhang grabbed the conversation and asked it as a question, which made him stunned, and then sneered: "Sure enough, it's a person who hasn't read a book, the old man is just making an analogy, but you don't even understand this." ”
"Hahahaha~, the master said: Knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, and knowing is knowing. It seems that Lin Yishan still has too few books to read, and he can't even answer this question! Li Zhang deliberately laughed at this time, he didn't want to have a conflict with the teacher of Zishantang on the first day, but the other party was aggressive, if he retreated now, I am afraid that he will be bullied by him in the future!
"Son, can you answer these two questions?" Lin Yishan finally couldn't pretend to be able to do it at this time, and directly questioned Li Zhang angrily.
"Of course I know that the thickness of the earth is more than 25,000 miles, as for the height of the sky, there is no fixed number, if it is said that the dispatch from the ground to the white clouds, it is generally only about ten miles, if it is said that the height of the ground to the moon, then it should be more than 700,000 miles, if it is the height of the ground to the sun, it is higher, about 30,000 miles, these answers Lin Yishan is satisfied?" Li Zhang replied with a sneer, after all, he was also an astronomy enthusiast in his later life, and he was still very clear about these common sense figures.
"You...... Nonsense, I've never seen these numbers in a book, maybe you made it up yourself! Lin Yishan said again in annoyance at this time, he didn't even believe half a word of Li Zhang's words.
"Hehe, it's better to believe in books than to have no books, if Lin Yishan doesn't even understand this truth, then what book is he going to read?" Li Zhang immediately sneered and ridiculed again, and Zhao Zhen next to him was also sweating profusely at this time, wanting to persuade but not knowing how to speak.
"You ......"
Lin Yishan was angry and angry at this time, and just wanted to show the majesty of a teacher, but at this time, he suddenly heard someone outside dissatisfied again: "What is the noise, Zishantang is a quiet place for the prince to study, is it a place for you to quarrel?" ”
Hearing this voice outside, Lin Yishan was startled, and glared at Li Zhang fiercely, but he didn't dare to say anything more. At this time, Li Zhang also turned his head to look, only to find that Li Di, who he saw last time, walked in, Zhao Zhen said that he was in charge of Zishantang, but Li Zhang didn't see him in the morning, it is estimated that Li Di is busy as the prime minister, so he can only take time to come here to see.
"Young Master Li, my cousin and Lin Yishan are just arguing because of academics, so they can't be quarreled!" Zhao Zhen was also startled when he saw Li Di come in, and hurriedly explained for them, because he knew that Li Di had a rigorous personality and was worried that he would blame Li Zhang for this incident.
However, after Li Di came in, he looked at Li Zhang, and then turned his head to stare at Lin Yishan and said in an unkind tone: "Li Zhang, he just came, he is young and ignorant, but Lint, you are so old, why do you want to be like a child!" ”
Li Zhang was stunned for a moment when he saw Li Di actually attacking Lin Yishan, and then looked up and quietly glanced at the other party, only to find that Li Di's eyes looking at Lin Yishan were full of disgust, it seems that the relationship between the two of them is not very good, and Li Zhang also feels that the name Lint is so familiar, as if he has heard it somewhere?
"Li Xiang's lesson is that the old man is just worried that someone will take the prince badly, so he lost his temper just now!" I saw that Lin Yishan was a soft egg, even if he was scolded by Li Di pointing his nose like this, he was not angry at all, but smiled flatteringly, without the domineering look he had when he was to Li Zhang just now.
"If you are upright, the students you bring out will naturally not be bad, Li Zhang just came, and it is precisely because you need to teach carefully, not find fault with him!" Li Di reprimanded mercilessly again at this time, it seems that he doesn't like this Lin Yishan very much, and even criticized him through Li Zhang's incident, and I don't know what grievances they usually have?
In the face of Li Di's reprimand, Lin Yishan was careful to laugh, and Li Di criticized a few words and couldn't get a response, and finally he didn't say anything, and then turned to Li Zhang to teach him a lesson, which was nothing more than to let him concentrate on learning and urge Zhao Zhen to study, Li Zhang also said yes to this, after all, what people said made sense, and although Li Di was strict, he didn't deliberately target him like Lin Yishan, which made Li Zhang's perception of Li Di better.
In the end, Li Di told Zhao Zhen again, and he was about to leave, but at this time, he saw that Lin Yishan was still standing there, and said unhappily again: "It's not time to teach now, is your Ministry of Industry so idle, don't you have anything to deal with, what do you do here every day?" ”
"Yes, yes, the next official will leave!" I saw that Lin Yishan didn't dare to refute, and walked away after speaking, but Li Di snorted coldly when he looked at his departing back, and then left with his hands behind his back.
"Lint? Lint? Li Zhang was also repeating the name Lint in a low voice at this time, and then suddenly showed a sudden expression and said, "It turned out to be him, no wonder Li Di dislikes him so much!" ”
