Wang Ding's cold tone suddenly made Zhou Zhi's heart "chuckle", and secretly said, this book seems to be difficult to borrow.

If it's not good to borrow, you have to try it, and you can't just go back like this, right? Books are a must to read, and scientific research is a must to participate. Thinking like this, Zhou Zhi straightened his chest and walked into the back room.

But I saw that there was a clay kang by the window in the back room, and a low square table was placed on the earthen kang, and a pot of tea and a book were placed on the table. Wang Dingzheng sat cross-legged at the table, reading a book and tasting tea with a taste.

This old guy asked his elderly wife to go outside the house to fetch water in the rain, but he was leisurely, leisurely, and had a very nourishing life.

No way, he is a showman, an admirer of Cheng Zhu's science, the male protagonist is outside the female protagonist, and the man does not go to the kitchen, that is the rule. How can this rule be broken?

Zhou Zhi bowed deeply to Wang Ding and said, "The kid has seen the master. ”

"Don't be polite, just say what you have to say." Wang Ding looked at Zhou Zhi with a cold face and said in a deep voice.

Wang Ding's attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away, how can Zhou Zhi still open his mouth to borrow books? Zhou Zhi smiled slightly and said, "Master, the kid actually has nothing else to do here, just idle and nothing, come and have a look." ”

Speaking of which, Wang Ding's impression of Zhou Zhi is not bad, especially after Zhou Zhi made a bet with Chen Wenju in the field that day, others only saw that Zhou Zhi knew the words, but Wang Ding saw Zhou Zhi's scheming. Set up sets, motivate generals, and take advantage of the situation, there will not be many people who can have such scheming and complete plans in the entire Baiyue Village. This week, the boy can be described as a talent.

Wang Ding's impression of Zhou Zhi is good, and his evaluation of Zhou Zhi is not low, "the son can be taught". But if it is said that Wang Ding cherishes talents and lets Wang Ding teach Zhou Zhi to read in vain, it is absolutely impossible. Wang Dingdu is nearly sixty years old, has experienced a lot of things, and now he knows that without violating the bottom line of morality, the yellow and white things are the most precious things. Raising a family and surviving is crucial.

Zhou Zhi is a poor boy, where can he afford to be restrained? can't afford to pay the shackles, everything is free to talk about here in Wang Ding.

Of course, Wang Ding still did a very good job in treating the rich and the poor, never stammering the rich, and never looking down on the poor. That's a lot of money.

Wang Ding and Zhou Zhi are not from the same class, Wang Ding's status as a showman is a few streets away from Zhou Zhi, a poor boy from a peasant family, so Zhou Zhi has never been to his house before.

Zhou Zhi suddenly came to the door today, and Wang Ding expected that Zhou Zhi must have something to ask him. I didn't think that Zhou Zhi said that it was okay, but he just came to hang out, which made Wang Ding stunned.

But Wang Ding knew that Zhou Zhi was very scheming, so he immediately calmed down and said secretly, today I want to see what tricks this kid plays in front of the old man.

Thinking like this, Wang Ding looked Zhou Zhi up and down with a cold face. I saw that Zhou Zhi was wearing coarse cloth clothes, and there were a few patches in some places, and he was wet, but he cleaned up quite neatly. He stood there without any restraint, looking very calm, which made Wang Ding still have a little good impression.

"Master, I'm in a good mood today, I'm reading?" Zhou Zhi stared at the book on the table with a pair of clear eyes, and asked with a smile. Zhou Zhi obviously asked knowingly, and Wang Ding snorted from his nostrils, "Hmm! ”

Zhou Zhi had already seen the title of the book on the table, which was "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms". "The Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is written by Luo Guanzhong in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, and it has been more than 100 years now, and this book has been circulated among the Ming Dynasty readers.

As a traveler from later generations, and a graduate of a well-known university, Zhou Zhi is naturally very familiar with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". Besides, many of the stories in the Three Kingdoms were widely circulated long before Luo Guanzhong wrote the book. Storytellers, singers, etc. often rap the story of the Three Kingdoms, and even ordinary farmers know many characters and stories in the Three Kingdoms.

Zhou Zhi knew that the "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" at this time was still a little different from the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in later generations. The most popular reading of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in later generations was compiled into a book based on the "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by Mao Zonggang and his son in Luo Guanzhong during the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty. For example, at the beginning of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Yang Shen wrote the poem "Linjiang Immortals, Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water" was put at the front of the volume by their father and son.

By the way, Yang Shen, a great talent, should also be born at this time, right? I wonder if I can intersect with Yang Shen in this life?

Zhou Zhi thought like this, and his eyes never left the book on the table.

Wang Ding saw Zhou Zhi staring at the book tightly, and immediately asked curiously, "What?" Boy from the Zhou family, have you ever seen this book? ”

As soon as the words came out, Wang Ding knew that it was in vain to ask. Zhou Zhi is a child of a poor peasant family, how could he have seen this book? It was worth four pennies.

Sure enough, I saw Zhou Zhi pondering slightly, and replied softly, "The kid has never seen it." ”

But then Zhou Zhi said, "But the kid also knows a little bit about the things in this book." Success or failure turns empty! ”

What Zhou Zhi thought was that at this time, he had to find a way to make Wang Ding pay attention to himself, otherwise he would always have such a cold face, refusing people to go out of the door, how to talk about borrowing books.

Wang Ding knew that Zhou Zhi was literate, and it was not surprising that he could recognize the title of the book. The stories in the Three Kingdoms have been widely spread, and although Zhou Zhi is a poor boy, it is normal to know some of the stories inside. After all, the storyteller, and even the farmers in the village often gossip about the Three Kingdoms after dinner.

But this sentence "success or failure turns empty" is the first time I have heard of it, and it actually came from the mouth of a poor farmer, which suddenly made Wang Ding very surprised, and he was stunned for a while.

After a while, Wang Ding's eyes suddenly lit up, stared at Zhou Zhi tightly, slapped the table heavily, and said, "Good success or failure." Today, the old man wants to test how much you know about the things in this book. ”

Zhou Zhineng can know a thousand words by simply listening to his lectures outside of social studies, and he has such a scheming, and at this time he said such an amazing sentence, which made Wang Ding suddenly interested in Zhou Zhi.

Zhou Zhi wanted this effect, he was secretly happy in his heart, but said quietly, "Master, the kid only knows a little, if the master wants to teach the things in this book, I'm afraid that there will be one or two kids who can't talk about it." ”

There are also one or two that can't be said? Most of them know this, and this week's kid is so arrogant. Even the old man has read through this "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" several times, and there are many incomprehensions, and he doesn't dare to speak like this.

When Wang Ding thought about this, he was a little red from excitement, and his face, which was a little pleasant, turned cold again. He simply closed the scroll on the table, squinted his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Zhou family boy, listen well, the old man will ask." ”

"Master, please ask, the boy knows everything, and he has no end to his words." Zhou Zhi said respectfully.
