090. The head of the academy
After Nangong Jin carefully explained the key points and know-how, Li Songran studied the information in his hand. The two people in the room, except for the occasional communication, only the sound of flipping books, writing, and abacus, and even the two of them ate in a hurry and continued.
"Young Master, Young Master Cousin, Little Master Chengjun, I want to see the young master." Fu's mother said to the two people in the room through the door.
Nangong Jin put down the pen and looked at Li Songran: "What is he doing here?" ”
"It should be in the academy now." Li Songran thought of something and laughed: "He made that question?" ”
Chengjun was waiting in the study, but the study was piled up like a warehouse, and Chengjun stood at the door with some disgust. Seeing the two coming, Chengjun saluted respectfully: "Uncle, cousin." ”
Li Songran smiled and asked, "Why did you come back at this time?" ”
Cheng Jun looked up at Nangong Jin and asked, "Uncle, that Nine Palaces problem is unsolvable, right?" ”
Nangong Jin smiled and said to Li Songran: "Alas, I won't play anymore, you can solve it." "Just leave.
"Uncle stays. You haven't answered my question yet. Chengjun was a little unhappy.
Li Songran took out the answer and handed it over: "Your uncle just gave it to me." There is more than one answer, do you try again? ”
Cheng Jun looked at Nangong Jin, who was getting farther and farther away, and took the answer and chased after him: "Wait." Cheng Jun quickly ran to him to stop him, gasped and said, "Our mountain chief wants you to go to the academy." ”
"What?" Nangong Jin looked at Chengjun in surprise, and said with a smile: "Are you in trouble and being called a parent by your husband?" Ha, you should ask your cousin for this favor. ”
Chengjun frowned and got angry: "I'm not an uncle, I have this treatment." Our mountain chief is rich in learning and five cars, and he has a deep knowledge of arithmetic. Since there is an answer to this nine-palace question, then our mountain chief would like to talk to you about arithmetic. ”
Nangong Jin smiled, "Very good, very honored." However, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me. The answer is for you, you can play wherever you like. I'm so busy that I don't have to come to me if I have anything to do. Nangong Jin bypassed him and wanted to leave.
Cheng Jun stretched out his hand to stop him, "You're not going?" ”
Nangong Jin was also not very happy, "What did I not explain?" ”
Li Songran hurriedly stepped forward to play a round game, "Chengjun, your uncle is not in good health and is recuperating at home, you know this." Seeing that Chengjun was still a little reluctant, he gently pulled him over and said with a smile: "Uncle Cousin asked you to send you back to the academy." At this point, you should study in the academy. ”
Nangong Jin ignored him and went back to the room. Chengjun stared at his back for a while, and finally said fiercely: "If you don't go, you won't go." After speaking, he quickly ran out of the west courtyard.
Li Songran arranged for his subordinates to follow Chengjun and went back to the room. Seeing Nangong Jin continue what he had just done, he said with a smile: "Actually, we all know that mountain chief. ”
"Really?" Nangong Jin didn't raise his head.
"He taught us at that time, and his surname was Cai. I went to see him a few times later, and I often asked about you. Very interesting little old man. Seeing that Nangong Jin didn't care, he smiled and said, "Well, Chengjun is a good boy, but sometimes he is stronger." ”
"Okay. It's me who is not good, and I shouldn't provoke him. Nangong Jin didn't raise his head, and said casually.
**********
Nangong Jin didn't expect that she received Cai Mingzhuo's famous post only a day later, and wanted to visit on a later date, but she didn't want to deal with it. Who knows, Nangong Pu came to the West Courtyard to chat that day, and he was embarrassed to mention the matter when he was done, thinking that Nangong Jin could do a favor and meet this old gentleman, after all, this mountain chief is not only Chengjun's mountain chief, but also taught everyone.
Two days later, Cai Mingzhuo came to visit. This old gentleman is indeed very interesting, when he saw Nangong Jin, he gave a disciple salute first, and scared Nangong Jin out of the way. After that, I didn't explain, I couldn't wait to take out the nine-palace question, and there was a set of answers I filled in. Not only that, but the old gentleman also thought that this question was so interesting that several sets of questions could be conjured up based on this answer.
At first, Nangong Jin was a little perfunctory, but the old gentleman really became a gentleman, from the nine palace questions to gossip, to the understanding of psychology, to the Spring and Autumn Period, so that Nangong Jin had a good time talking, if it wasn't for the old gentleman's refusal to stay, I am afraid that he would continue to talk. Before parting, the two exchanged disciple salutes and made an appointment for the next meeting. This scene shocked Chengjun, who had been waiting outside the gate of the West Courtyard.
After Chengjun sent the old gentleman to Fuqinxuan, Nangong Pu and his wife were already there with Chengrui, Nangong Wan, Nangong Jin and Li Songran. The men and women were divided into two piles and talked, Cheng Rui sat on Nangong Jin's lap, and Cheng Jun carefully walked to Nangong Pu's side, stood quietly, and listened carefully to the conversation between the three.
After a while, Nangong Dingkang and his wife came in. Seeing that everyone was there, Nangong Dingkang directly took out a piece of paper and handed it to Nangong Jin with a smile, "Look at it, right?" ”
Nangong Jin took it, Cheng Rui, who was sitting on his lap, glanced at it, clapped his hands and shouted: "Ah, it's my uncle's Nine Palaces question, grandpa made it!" As he spoke, he jumped down and took Nangong Dingkang's hand: "My brother can't do it, my cousin can't do it, my father ......, my father didn't do it, so my grandfather made it." Grandpa, you're amazing! ”
Nangong Dingkang was coaxed by him happily, picked him up and sat on the chair next to him, "How do you know that grandpa made it?" Today, aren't you mountain chiefs too? ”
"The mountain chief is not from the family." Cheng Rui said affirmatively.
"You little sycophant, your aunt has come up with two answers." Nangong Jin scolded with a smile.
Cheng Rui looked surprised, and jumped off Nangong Dingkang's legs: "Auntie, auntie, you are the most powerful in our family!" ”
Nangong Wan's face turned red when he said it, and he said softly: "Auntie has time to think, think about it, and come up with it." ”
Zhou Tang also came up and said: "Ah Jin, every night in the past few days, your father has been writing and painting with this piece of paper, and he can finally sleep well tonight." ”
Nangong Pu also smiled and said, "So Ah Jin is the most powerful and can come up with this kind of question." ”
"Don't." Nangong Jin begged for mercy and said: "This question was studied by a few classmates in Quanzhou Academy when I pondered for several days on an arithmetic book from the West. Later, I thought it was interesting, and everyone asked each other questions and bet on dinner. ”
"You know foreign languages?" Nangong Pu was surprised.
"I don't understand. At that time, if you want to understand, we don't have to think about it. Ha ha. ”
"How many years have you been studying at Yifeng Academy?" Nangong Dingkang asked with a smile.
"Less than a year. It was a book that a friend offered me to read, and then I ran out of money, so I was too embarrassed to ask him for it, so forget it. ”
Li Songran asked: "By the way, you said that you studied under He Xinyin and He Daxia, in Quanzhou?" ”
Nangong Jin laughed, "Haha, I just said this at the time to elevate myself." However, he should know and recognize. Back then, I listened to him lecture, and to be honest, I didn't agree with his statement. However, Mr. He is a very straightforward person and a martial artist. Among so many people in the academy, I am the only one who can fight him, and he comes to me if he wants to practice. After a long time, everyone said that I was his disciple. Actually, it's only been two or three months, and I haven't seen it since. ”
"And then?" Nangong Wan asked softly.
"Later, I tried to find a way to support myself."
"Speaking of Quanzhou. Tomorrow that gentleman will also take a break, are you free? Nangong Dingkang asked.
"What's the matter?"
"I want to hear from you about the ideas you put forward in Quanzhou before. I'll come to your room, okay? Nangong Dingkang asked with a smile.
Seeing that Nangong Dingkang particularly emphasized 'in your room', Nangong Jin looked at Li Songran, and Li Songran had a natural expression.
Nangong Dingkang saw it and laughed again: "Songran said that there is a treasure hidden in your room, but please do not enter." ”
"Oh, so the eldest brother is also interested, and he has prepared so many materials for you, and I don't know what you have done." Nangong Pu also said with a smile.
"Okay...... However," Nangong Jin was a little embarrassed when they looked at her like this: "It's just a rough deal, Song Ran must be exaggerating." ”
"Uncle," Cheng Jun couldn't help but ask, "Can I come and take a look?" ”
"If you have something serious to talk about, let's talk about it later, kids." Nangong Jin directly refused.
Cheng Rui stuck to it again and whispered, "Uncle, then I can still go to your place to play after I finish eating?" I don't go into the main house. ”
"It depends on whether Cheng Rui is well-behaved when he eats for a while." Nangong Jin coaxed.
"Cheng Rui must be well-behaved," Cheng Rui thought for a while and asked, "Uncle, can I have two, um, three bamboo dragonflies?" ”
"Yes, yes, but is Cheng Rui's homework done?"
Cheng Rui tilted his head and thought for a while: "Uncle, can I go to you to write?" ”
Shen Xueying was afraid of troublesome Nangong Jin, so she hurriedly said, "Chengrui, uncle is tired today, why don't you go another day?" ”
"Uncle?" Cheng Rui pouted and looked at Nangong Jin as if asking for help.
"Okay."
"Uncle is the best." As he spoke, he rushed up and kissed him.
