Chapter 81: Juggling, Knowledge is Power
Homesick poured a long sigh
Since coming to the Ming Dynasty, Sun Dan has never had a sense of belonging, and for him, Shandong Gaoping is just a place of origin on the yellow book of his household registration. It doesn't mean anything to him. But since Zhi Niang appeared in his life, his life seems to have a trace of fetters and a trace of concern.
"Hehe, Brother Tan, I don't understand. What's so good about Buping, a small place, where is the world of flowers in Jinan? If I win the show, I will ask my father and second uncle for a position, and go to a big place like Beijing to open my eyes. Birds, with money and status, naturally want to live a good life in a big city. Sun Hao followed Sun Dan's ass and wandered around the street.
Recently, Sun Dan's fame has been completely launched in Jinan. I don't know who leaked the rumors, saying that "Journey to the West" is a game work of Sun Dan, a young genius of the Sun family. Sun Dan's articles and poems are naturally first-class, but I didn't expect him to write a good story. As a result, "Journey to the West" was in great demand.
It is undeniable that the story of Sun Monkey is really exciting, and it is serialized again, so I want to watch the next episode after reading one. As a result, "Journey to the West" was a big hit. In the past ten days, more than 2,000 copies have been sold, and together with the sales performance of other state capitals in Shandong this month, the three shareholders of Sun Dan, Sun Hao and Sun Jia have made a lot of money, and each has more than 20 taels of silver in the account.
Sun Dan and Sun Hao are young and golden, and the exam network is over. No one cares, so I just play around in the city all day long, but I am very comfortable.
"Can you not use foul language, you are about to be a talented person, and you are not afraid of other people's jokes." Sun Dan frowned slightly, Sun Hao's words made him secretly vigilant. Originally, he used a pen name for the book "Journey to the West", so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. But looking at the current situation, the news that he is the author of this book has become widely known. Originally, he didn't mind making his fame a little louder.
However, writing in the Ming Dynasty was not something that serious people did. Besides, this religion, and the future Emperor Jiajing was a fanatical Taoist, if he knew that he was the author of this book, it would definitely have a certain impact on his future.
No, this book must not be written, and it must be completed as soon as possible.
Tomorrow is the day of the college examination list, if nothing else, this subject will be a talent. When the time comes. He can be regarded as a famous person, and if he does this kind of business again, it will have a great impact on his reputation.
He still has a few dozen taels of silver on hand. When the set of books "Journey to the West" is finished, I can get more than 100 taels. After the exam. After doing elk, there are six buckets of elk rice to receive every month, even if you don't do anything, you don't have to worry about life in a few years.
Well, when he got fame, he quit his job in Sun's Mansion and took Zhiniang to the capital to find Mr. Li. Calm down and read to prepare for next year's Enko.
He is bound to win the upcoming autumn season, as long as he is promoted, he can be an official. There is money, status, and foresight of historical events. The future is bright.
Thinking of leaving the Sun Mansion soon, Sun Dan suddenly felt a little reluctant to Sun Hao, Sun Jia, and Jiang Ruoying.
But after thinking about it, Mrs. Liu and Aunt Jing treated him like that, and he couldn't stay in Sun Mansion anymore.
During this time, Mrs. Liu and Aunt Jing suffered a small loss on their hands, but they did not come to trouble Sun Dan. However, it really doesn't feel good to be remembered. A manly man has his own big things to do, how can he be intrigued with a few ladies all day long.
Shook his head. Putting aside the unhappiness in his heart, Sun Dan continued to teach Sun Hao, the little brother: "Sun, Hao." Although it is said that you can inherit the title in the future. I can find a good errand anyway. But. To be a human being, you have to look upward,"
"Alright, alright, you can recite the mantra again. Can't you say something that makes people happy? Sun Hao was a little overwhelmed, and hurriedly interrupted Sun Dan's words: "Why are you like this now, it's not happy." Not cool! ”
"Okay, I'll stop talking." Sun smiled lightly, and suddenly remembered the two who held him hostage that day, the strong family, and remembered his weak body, and suddenly felt a little unhappy in his heart. Poor health was the biggest problem he faced, and the health and medical conditions in ancient times were not good. Don't say anything serious. A small cold, or even a small wound, can bring down an eight-foot man. In order to live a quality life, or to write in an emergency and not to be bullied, you must exercise your body well.
Sun Dan thought for a while and asked, "Sun Hao, who are you learning from in martial arts, and what level is it?" Can you teach me how to strengthen my body with both hands? ”
Sun Hao said proudly: "Didn't I tell you before, I learned from a guard at home." My martial arts are naturally first-class. You've seen it that day. Really calculated, although it can't reach the level of the leopard head Lin Chong, at least it is a desperate Saburo Shixiu. If you want to learn, I'll teach you, kneel down and worship the teacher. ”
Sun Dan smiled: "you, what kind of teacher?" You are still desperate Saburo, I think your degree is at most a white day rat white victory. I really learned from you. That is, a drill gopher. I'd better hire another famous teacher. ”
While they were talking and laughing, the two came to a wide street. The name of the street is Admiral Lane, and there is a large arched bridge. It was early evening and it was very lively. The traffic is busy, fortune tellers, wine and food sellers, singers, medicine sellers, and bustling citizens, making this area boiling and lively
Often.
At this time, Sun Dan and Sun Hao suddenly heard a burst of strong wind, looked up, and saw someone in front of them performing arts.
There weren't many people to see, only two or three people were scattered.
There was a man in his early twenties who was boxing in the circle of performers, a man as burly as a door panel and a swarthy face. A bitter look on his face. Looks listless. But every punch he threw out carried a loud whistling sound, which contained a strong force.
After just one glance, Sun Dan was shocked in his heart. He doesn't know anything about martial arts itself, and he can't see good or bad. After all, I have been nurtured by modern martial arts dramas for many years, and I still have some understanding of Shao. Originally, he thought that the martial arts masters in the TV series had a "boom" sound every time they made out, but it was just a fabrication by later generations. Now I see that every time this man punches out, he brings a series of thunderous roars, but he believes it in his heart: It seems. This kind of noise still exists in reality. As long as the degree is fast enough, the power is strong enough.
It seems that this is the legendary master.
He glanced back at Sun Hao, whose face had changed greatly, and asked, "How is this person's martial arts?" ”
"Southern boxing, it's very powerful." Sun Hao took a breath of cold air, "I really haven't seen such a master before. ”
"Southern Fist?" "Southern Fist."
"I thought" Sun Dan then remembered that it was now the Ming Dynasty, and the southern boxing had not yet come out of the disbelievable, and the crying sleeve method had the taste of this Nanfeng, and the waist and horse were steady, and they were treated with lacquer coffee
But. Although the southern boxing, or southern boxing, is powerful, it is not very ornamental. Especially in the hands of this man with a bitter face, he looks depressed at a glance. Well, I guess this guy is practicing a style of play, not that kind of fancy routine.
Because this set of punches makes it ugly, this person's business can be imagined. He was covered in hot sweat, but there was not a copper plate in the broken bowl at his feet.
When he finished a set of southern boxing, he gave it up. Just about to speak. The onlookers flicked their sleeves and said, "What kind of fist is it, the old cow ploughs the field, it's ugly to death." I want to ask for a reward for such a move, so pull it down! ”
The man was anxious: "I'm really skilled." Do you have a penny, if you have money, you will reward a few. "It's a standard Hunan dialect.
"Really, you're fooling us, aren't you? Will there be a boulder in the chest? ”
The man shook his head: "No." ”
"So, will the head be bricked and the silver gun pierced the throat?"
The man was even more cramped: "The kind of thing that goes through the rivers and lakes will not be." ”
"Hey, you can't even do this, and you still want to come out and cheat money?" The onlookers burst into laughter and immediately dispersed.
"Hey, poor I haven't eaten in two days. Give it a copper," the man was even more anxious, and gave up his hand again and again.
"This man, pitiful!" Sun Hao shook his head again and again and said, "Dan Xun, let's go, there's nothing to see." ”
Sun Dan sighed, everyone has their own fate and life. If you have real skills, you may not be able to live well.
Just as he was about to leave, suddenly, an old man came over, holding a bowl of leftover vegetable soup and putting it at the man's feet, and said, "Feng family man, you have been hungry for a day, and I am so poor that I have not eaten the last meal." This is a bowl of soup that I went to the kitchen of the wine store to beg, you should eat some, there is plenty of oil and water.
"Thank you." The man took the bowl of soup with a bitter face and drank it dry, then picked up the chopsticks and caught the only vegetable leaf in the soup, put it in his mouth and chewed it carefully.
Sun Dan couldn't bear it, thinking that at the beginning, he and Zhiniang had lived such a day and knew the pain.
"That's it, just help him, no matter how you say that people are also martial arts masters." has been influenced by martial arts culture for so many years. Sun Dan was very curious about this kind of character in the rivers and lakes, he really didn't expect that a person's martial arts would be so high, and he would be like a beggar.
On second thought, though. No matter how high the martial arts are, what can they do? Now the Qing Ping is prosperous, and the sky is bright. Is he still going to be a robber? Well, this person also has some real skills. If you are going to be an official in the future, you also need someone to help you with your hands. This person is available. Moreover, with such a bodyguard by his side all day long, his personal safety is also guaranteed.
Thinking of this, Sun Dan walked towards him with Sun Hao.
Seeing Sun Dan and Sun Hao walking towards him, the man's eyes lit up. Sun Hao was originally the eldest young master of the Sun family, dressed beautifully, and he was the owner of the gold at first glance. As for Sun Dan, although his clothes are plain, he has an ordinary temperament, and he is definitely not an ordinary person.
He hurriedly put down his rice bowl, squeezed out a flattering smile, and arched his hand: "The two uncles are here to reward the villain?" ”
"No, no, no." Sun Dan shook his head again and again: "I'm not interested in spending money indiscriminately, besides, give people fish." It's better to give people scum. ”
"So you didn't come to see the villain playing boxing." The man's face was disappointed.
It was the old man who served him the soup just now and looked at Sun Dan twice. He exclaimed in surprise: "But Sun Dan is a young talent, I saw you in Gongyuan Square that day. As he spoke, he hurriedly pulled the man: "Feng Zhen, I blinded your dog's eyes, and today is also your creation, and I have to be taken care of by Sun Caizi." ”
The man named Feng Zhen was startled when he heard that there was a scholar in front of him, and he hurriedly bowed his hand and said respectfully: "I've seen Sun Gongzi." ”
Sun smiled and accepted him calmly. said: "You can't be so artistic, everyone doesn't like your honest fist, and it's not interesting." I'll teach you a way to make you a lot of money. ”
The man surnamed Feng glanced at Sun Dan up and down. Said suspiciously: "Please forgive the villain for being rude, look at the child's hypocrisy, and there is no martial arts, this art thing, I'm afraid you don't understand it very well." "Cave Xunshan package book bar said complete
As soon as the words were finished. The old man who came over with the soup slapped Feng Zhen on his vest and said angrily: "Shut up, Sun Caizi speaks, when is it your turn to interject." If he has any orders, you will do so and leave, and your benefits will be indispensable. ”
Sun Dan picked up a chopstick from the rice bowl and handed it to Feng Zhen, and asked, "Can you use the knife with your fingers?" Chop it out of it? ”
"How is this possible?" Feng Zhen said in surprise: "No matter how strong your martial arts are, it is impossible to cut off the chopsticks!" ”
"I can." Sun smiled lightly. Say: "Circle the field, watch me play two hands to open your eyes." ”
The old man who was with Feng Zhen saw that the opportunity was also fast, and immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Fathers and fellow villagers, come here." Sun Dan's little genius is going to play a trick on us. ”
"What, Sun Xiaocai is here!"
Hearing this, people kept rushing over to see Xiqi.
Suddenly, Sun Dan and Feng Zhen surrounded dozens of people on the inside and outside three floors.
When the field was almost circled, Sun Dan whispered to Feng Zhen: "Grab the two ends of this chopstick, pull it both sides, remember, it's hard to pull, use enough strength." ”
Although Feng Zhen was curious, he listened to the old man's words just now and knew that Sun Dan was a terrible person. I didn't dare to slack off, and I used all my strength to pull the chopsticks to both sides.
He pressed harder, only to see the muscles of his two bare arms bulging straight as steel
Kind.
Sun Dan was amazed in his heart, and he shook his head and said loudly to everyone: "Fellow villagers, Sun Dan is here to make a trick for everyone." After the undergraduate Shandong College examination network is over, Sun Dan is idle and bored, so everyone is happy here. This Brother Feng's hometown was hit by a disaster and he was exiled to our Shandong. Blame the poor too. If you see that my trick is going to be good, you might as well help him get through this difficulty, and let him see us. The bold atmosphere of the Easterners. ”
Everyone hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Sun Caizi is polite, my Shandong people are hospitable, and I am the most embarrassed." ”
"Okay, let's see me cut this chopstick with my fingers." Someone smiled and said: "It's impossible, how can your fingers be used as knives, Sun Caizi is joking." ”
The voice network fell. Someone scolded: "Sun Xiaocai must have his reason for saying this, you look at it, what nonsense is it, you don't have to fall into the spirit of my Jinan people." ”
"At that time, Sun Caizi was someone. It was the Wenqu star in the sky descending to earth, and it naturally had a miraculous means. ”
Hearing the noise of the crowd, he didn't smile much, raised his index finger and slashed hard at the chopsticks that had been stretched tightly between chewing.
I can only hear "Bang! With a bang, the bamboo chopsticks with the thickness of the index finger were cut in two by Sun Dan's finger.
"Ahh Everyone's eyes widened. I couldn't speak with my mouth open.
It's amazing. Weird beyond the imagination of others.
"I'm done with my trick, shouldn't everyone give money?" Sun Dan laughed, touched his painful index finger, and arched his hand. pushed Sun Hao, who was already stunned, and left.
Before leaving, he also asked: "Feng Zhen." Where do you live? ”
The old man who was with Feng Zhen hurriedly replied, "Feng Zhen lives with me, in the shack under the bridge in front. ”
"A dignified seven-foot man, he has fallen so far. It's a pity! Sun Dan deliberately looked at him deeply, and then walked away.
"Good!" At this time, only those who woke up burst into cheers.
Someone kept throwing copper coins at the head of the stunned Feng Zhen.
The old man who was with Feng Zhen hurriedly dragged Feng Zhen, who was already completely shocked: "Why are you stunned, quickly pick up the money!" ”
I looked at the chopsticks that had broken in two. Feng Zhen said in despair: "How is it possible. The person surnamed Sun obviously has no martial arts..."
The old man said loudly: "Who are you?" The Sun family is a talented man, if there is no accident, he will definitely be the first place in the current Academy of Sciences. In the future, people will be lifted and jinshi. It's not hand-to-hand yet. Once you get into the jinshi. It's the big man. It is the stars in the sky descending to earth, and naturally there are means that ordinary people do not have. Being willing to look at you more and say a word to you is already a blessing that you have cultivated in your previous life. ”
"It turns out that I want to be an adult in the future!" Feng Zhen suddenly came to his senses: "His surname is Sun." But the son of the Hou Sun family of Huichang. ”
"You have a bit of eyesight." The old man laughed and nodded.
Feng Zhen suddenly clenched his fists and muttered, "A few days ago, I met a fortune teller who said that I have a noble person in my life, is it possible that my Feng Zhen is going to be transferred?" Sun Dan pulled Sun Hao and walked on the street for a long time. After a long time, Sun Hao came back to his senses and asked, "Brother Dan." How did you change this trick just now? Is there a knife hidden between your fingers? ”
"Nope."
"And how did you get it?"
"I didn't get it much, so I slashed it down with my fingers and left." Sun Dan replied: "The key to this matter is to tighten the pair of chopsticks, the tighter the pull, the easier it is to cut." Unbelief? Or try it right away, and you'll understand. ”
"Okay, try it." Sun Hao doesn't talk nonsense. The shop next to the cannon borrowed a pair of chopsticks, so that Sun Dan tightened, and slashed down with one finger, and it was cut in two.
"It's weird, it's weird." Sun Hao shouted: "Come again, come again." ”
He tried three times in one go, until he chopped off his right index finger and swelled it, and then Sun Hao stopped. Puzzled, he asked, "Brother Tan, what is going on?" ”
Sun Dan said: "If you read more, you will understand, I also saw it from a book some time ago." Bamboo chopsticks have long bamboo fibers inside, which themselves have good elasticity. But if it's tightened, it's going to become very brittle, and then you just need to add a transverse force, uh, which involves the mechanics of the principle, and you don't understand it. Knowledge is power, and there are many such magical methods in the book. You have to work hard, don't just play around. Ignorant of schooling. ”
In fact, this trick was seen by Sun Dan from the TV when Mr. Sima Nan exposed the charlatans. Then. Sima Nan used the same method. A chopstick is cut in two with just one banknote. This technique was carried over to the Ming Dynasty. It's very bluffing.
listened to Sun Dan's words. Sun Hao nodded: "In the past, I always felt that reading was a great pain, and I only liked to read in my life. It seems that there are a lot of interesting things in serious books as well. ”
After saying a few words to Sun Hao, Sun Dan remembered the man named Feng Zhen again. I heard his accent from Hunan, it is estimated that he fled from the south during King Ning's rebellion, and maybe he was still a soldier in King Ning's rebels.
The Ming Dynasty had strict household registration management, and once a homeless person like him was caught by the government, he would definitely be sent to hard labor or conscription, and his life would be ruined.
Sun Dan himself should be very sure that he will be able to pass the test at the Academy of Sciences, and when the time comes, his identity will change, and he will enter the ruling class of the Ming Empire. Although Xiucai's status is nothing, he has the privilege of being exempted from all taxes and labor, and he is also a figure in the eyes of ordinary people.
When the time comes, let Na Feng Zhen attach himself to him, and by the way, help him settle down in the ministry, and he will be his benefactor.
After staying in Sun's Mansion for two months, Sun Dan deeply realized that if a person wants to make a difference in this world, he must gather a group of talents. A person like Feng Zhen is a strong martial artist, and he is a qualified bodyguard, and he is the best one to use to watch the home nursing home. With him by his side, he will travel the world in the future. Personal safety is also guaranteed.
It's just that Sun Dan himself is just a little boy now, and everything has to wait until he gets the identity of Xiucai.
This is also why he didn't say anything to recruit Feng Zhen just now, with his current status, Feng Zhen can't go with him.
Therefore, Sun Dan also showed a hand. Suppress Feng Zhen.
Wait for the list of the college examination of today's department tomorrow, and then go to find Na Feng Zhen, and promise benefits, which will naturally make him follow him with all his heart.
At this time, it was completely dark, looked up at the sky, calculated the time, at this moment, Wang Yuanzheng should have finished reviewing all the exam papers. Maybe tomorrow, the list of this year's college exams should come down.
As soon as he thought of this, Sun Dan didn't have the heart to go shopping with Sun Hao any longer, so he walked towards Tongle Courtyard with Sun Hao.
When the net entered the yard, I saw a little guy running over in a panic and said, "Brother Hao, where did you go, the family is looking for you everywhere?" ”
"Seeing you panic like this, the sky is falling?" Sun Hao spat on him.
The little guy wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, "Brother Hao, the second master has arrived in Jinan." ”
"Second master, which second master?"
"Who else can it be, naturally the second master of my Sun family."
"Ah, the second uncle is back." Sun Hao's complexion changed greatly, and his legs trembled.
"It turned out that Sun Henian came to Jinan." Sun Dan's heart moved, he had been famous for a long time against the actual parents of the Sun family. Sun Hao is also a character who is not afraid of the ground today. Since I met him, this kid only shivered on the day of the hospital exam, and he didn't usually see anyone he was afraid of. didn't expect to be afraid of being like this as soon as I heard Sun Henian's name.
