Chapter 384: Double-Sided Bo Qi
Mr. Bo doesn't work with the other gentlemen, and it is a separate house that is furnished like a carpenter's workshop, full of half-finished wood and shavings all over the floor.
When Wang Xiaohammer entered the house, Mr. Bo sat on a small chair among the shavings and drank tea, seemingly casual, but with an indescribable majesty, Mr. Bo seemed a little angry at his tardiness.
It wasn't until he handed over the basket of bunches he bought that Mr. Bo showed a hint of a smile, he must be very satisfied with the large piece of pork he bought.
Mr. Bo did not let him bow to the master, saying that his master did not let him worship back then, and let him toast a bowl of tea. After worshipping the teacher, I realized that he was the only one in the entire academy who followed Mr. Bo to learn carpenter's work, and he was a big disciple.
I don't understand why everyone is reluctant to learn carpenter, Wang Xiaohammer thinks there is nothing wrong with learning carpenter from Mr. Bo. He knew the life of an apprentice, and his father had an apprentice in the past, and he followed his father for more than two years before his father taught him real skills.
Originally, he thought that his apprenticeship would be the same, but Mr. Bo taught him real skills that afternoon, and compared with those things in class, he understood how to get started as soon as he heard it, and Mr. Bo praised him for his intelligence.
Wang Xiaohammer thinks that the biggest reason is that Mr. Bo is very easy-going, he doesn't easily beat people with a ring ruler, and he can put things in his heart without being nervous. Mr. Bo is not only easy-going, but also very frugal, which can be seen from eating.
Mr. Bo never ate in the cafeteria of the college, but would take him to his home every day at noon and evening. It was in a small courtyard next to the academy, there were no female dependents in his house, only a beardless man, Mr. Bo asked himself to call Uncle Hai.
There are always a lot of dishes on the table, and he has never seen those meals, I am afraid that they are only available in large restaurants. There is obviously such a delicacy at home, but Mr. Bo only eats some black nests, rotten vegetable leaves, and even that kind of black propolis like dog shit every day.
But they kept putting vegetables in their bowls to let themselves eat more, and every time their stomachs couldn't hold up. When eating, Uncle Hai served on the side and never served the table, and only when he finished eating would he eat the leftover leftovers.
Although Uncle Hai said that these were all rules, Wang Xiaohammer knew in his heart that they were only doing this to let himself eat more, and every time he thought of this, his heart was always sour.
Attending classes with Mr. Bo every afternoon and going to Mr.'s house for dinner in the evening was the happiest and happiest time for Wang Xiaohammer in the academy.
When the golden sunlight shone into the house, the day's classes were over, and after making hot tea for Mr., Wang Xiaohammer sorted out his tools and picked up the sawdust shavings on the ground with his hands, the reason why he didn't use a broom was because it would affect his husband's tea.
He didn't go far with the garbage basket, and he met Hou Ye coming over with something coming here, Wang Xiaohammer put down the basket and hurriedly saluted. Ma Du smiled and asked, "It turned out to be Xiao Hammer, is it okay to study with Mr. Bo?" ”
Wang Xiaohammer happily replied: "It is a great fortune for students to be able to study with Mr. Bo who is easy-going, charitable, square, and thrifty!" Wang Xiaozhu tried his best to describe the good teachers he learned in the academy.
Industrious because of high blood sugar to exercise, frugal because of high blood sugar to diet, but easy-going, charitable, square these adjectives have anything to do with the proper Timur?
Ma Du entered the room suspiciously, and saw that he was holding a tea bowl and looking at the sunset, "I said, Lao Bo, what kind of ecstasy soup did you pour Wang Xiaohammer?" ”
Tuo Timur said proudly: "How can there be ecstasy soup, I was originally that kind of person." ”
He heard the conversation between Wang Xiaohammer and Ma Du clearly just now, he put down the tea bowl and said: "Why do you want me to teach carpenters, you know that my scriptures, righteousness, poetry, and songs are not worse than theirs." ”
"No way, you will be able to do it, but you will not be them."
"But I can't receive disciples now, well, only Xiaohammer."
Ma Du didn't want the students of the entire academy to learn the skills of Timur, not everyone has this talent, and besides, the gentlemen from Lao Zhu to the academy would not agree. So I took elective courses and let interested students learn, but I didn't expect that only one student was accepted in the end.
Ma Du smiled: "It's not that you blame yourself, you have to teach what carpenter work is, and knowledge is also to be packaged, isn't it good to change the name, such as "Architecture" or "Mechanics". ”
Tuo Timur spilled the tea in his hand out of the window, and sneered: "It's really good, maybe you can trick a few students to come over." But your packaging is too rudimentary. ”
"Oh, do you have a better way to wrap it?"
"Quite simply, if I can take the carpenter job in the imperial examination, I believe that many people will be willing to be my students. In fact, I don't care how many students there are, I will be less enlightened if there are fewer students, it is enough for Xiaohammer to pass on my mantle alone, I think with the influence of you and the college, a letter of recommendation is enough for him to be a petty official in the Ministry of Engineering. ”
Madu patted his chubby belly, "Hehe...... I have to say that people who have been emperors can see it thoroughly, but your thinking is too narrow, why do you have to take the carpenter job in the imperial examination, I never thought that one day I would not need to take the imperial examination, and the recommendation letter or completion certificate of the academy is enough for them to become officials. ”
Tuo Timur took a sharp breath of cold air, "Your ambition is too great, does the emperor know!" ”
Ma Du waved his hand and said: "What does this have to do with me, this is the Royal Academy, it is the Emperor's Academy, if the students here can't be officials, then what else can they do." ”
"That's right, but what are you talking to me about, do you think these tricks of mine are useful? In the past, my courtiers flattered me a lot of people, but I know that most of them despise me in their hearts.
Especially in the eyes of those Han Confucian students, it's just a kitsch and a lewd skill, it seems to be similar in your eyes, let me help you make a glass warmer, and what lighter, in fact, I'm just using it for fun. ”
Listening to Timur's words, it seemed that he didn't look down on him very much, but Lao Zhu could see it, and Lao Zhu's eyes were about to pop out when he saw the flintlock pistol.
"You don't have to think too much, you can recuperate in the academy with peace of mind, teach a few more students by the way, and don't hide your secrets."
Tuo Timur nodded heavily, "Don't worry, I won't hide my secrets, the Ming Dynasty should have fewer people who learn Confucian classics, and more people who can use tricky and obscene skills." ”
Hearing him say this, Ma Du didn't know how to answer, his goal was the same as Ma Du, but his mind was definitely different!
