Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Visit to Baume & Mercier
Chen Kaizhi just laughed it off, he didn't have much interest in getting involved in this kind of thing.
Chen Kaizhi is more utilitarian, but he doesn't care about fame, he cares more about profit, he can take the imperial examination with peace of mind, why let people talk nonsense?
So he said: "Uncle Shi, I still have to go in to listen to the teacher's teachings, and I will be out of company first." ”
After that, he went directly into the study, leaving only Uncle Wucai, who was not very happy.
Mr. Fang was repairing his strings in the study, sitting on the mat, carefully holding the clamp to hold the broken strings.
Chen Kaizhi saluted: "Teacher, is this piano broken?" ”
"yes." Mr. Fang looked heartbroken and sighed: "I have to repair it, this ...... It's the teacher's child, the child has a disease, and the teacher hasn't slept well all night. ”
Chen Kaizhi suddenly wanted to complain in his heart,, a few days ago, I heard my teacher say that I was his child, in the blink of an eye, my teacher has so many children, and Fang Qin has also become a child, do I still want to call him brother?
Although he was speechless about some of his teacher's quirks, Chen Kaizhi still said: "Just ask a piano maker to repair it, why bother with your teacher." ”
Mr. Fang shook his head and said, "No, you can't get cheesy." ”
Chen Kaizhi felt that he could no longer communicate with this teacher, so he said: "In this case, students should come and cultivate." ”
"You?" Mr. Fang put down the clip, glanced at Chen Kaizhi, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's better to repair it for the teacher." ”
The implication seems to be to say, you are cheesy, you only think about fame, don't let this piano get infected with this problem.
Chen Kaizhi was speechless, so he had to arch his hand: "Then the student won't ask for advice today, and will go to the school first." ”
With that, Chen Kaizhi turned around to leave.
Mr. Fang stopped him and said, "You come back." ”
Chen Kaizhi had no choice but to turn around and salute: "What else does the teacher command?" ”
Mr. Fang stared at Chen Kaizhi, his eyes showed a little weirdness, and said, "You are different from before, as if you have a new look." ”
Chen Kaizhi was slightly stunned: "Yes, what's the difference?" ”
Mr. Fang frowned: "The old man can't tell you clearly, it's just the feeling of the past few days, as if his body has changed a lot." ”
Chen Kaizhi thought to himself, could it be because of the breath in his body? Could it be that this is the legendary hair cutting and marrow?
Chen Kaizhi smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I slept well these days." ”
Mr. Fang only nodded: "This evening, you come here and go with the old man to visit friends." ”
Chen Kaizhi knew that Mr. Fang had never liked to deal with people.
As a teacher, he has a strange temper, and now that he heard that he was going to take him to visit a friend, Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but say: "Could it be the Mr. Wang Zhizheng that Uncle Shi said?" ”
Mr. Fang bowed his head and said lightly: "This person has some dealings with the old man, although the old man doesn't like him very much." ”
It turned out that the teacher didn't like this person.
But Mr. Fang said: "But this person has always had a unique vision, and he is the best at judging people, and the people who have been praised by him are all worth a hundred times." Kaizhi, you have been reading books for so long with your teacher, your uncle is right, it is time for you to see the bigger world, this person has some contacts with the old man, and he will sell the old man some thin noodles in the future, and give you a good evaluation, which will be of great benefit to you in the future, so be it, you go to the house to study first. ”
Chen Kaizhi didn't expect his teacher to join in the fun, but he knew in his heart that his teacher's thoughts were different from his uncle, who was pure snobbery, and he would hold it wherever there was a stinky foot, and never let go of any opportunity. But the teacher is really planning for him, a disciple.
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but say: "But I don't know if my senior brother has ever participated in the review?" ”
At the mention of this, Mr. Fang's expression relaxed a lot, and he smiled slightly: "Your Senior Brother Deng has been rated as a handsome person by several great Confucians. ”
Chen Kaizhi nodded: "The student understands, and the student will leave first." ”
Carrying the bookcase, Chen Kaizhi went to Fuxue to study, and in the evening, he came to visit his teacher again.
Mr. Fang was not in the study, but in the courtyard, where a small grave bag was obviously piled up.
Chen Kaizhi was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward and said with concern: "Teacher, uncle...... What's wrong? ”
Mr. Fang had tears in his eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Ay...... Be...... It is the harp that is buried for the teacher. ”
Groove ......
Chen Kaizhi looked at the small tomb bag dumbfounded, daring to love that the qin was not cultivated and 'died'?
Mr. Fang's tears were like beads, let the wind dry his tears, and said sadly: "My Qin is dead, and my heart is also dead." ”
It's a dead thing.
Chen Kaizhi looked relieved, his mood became lighter, and he said, "So, you don't have to go with your teacher to visit friends tonight?" ”
"Who's to say no?" Mr. Fang glared at him, he still couldn't understand at this time, how could such a good piece of music come from Chen Kaizhi? is biased, but this guy can always do things that cook cranes and burn the piano and spoil the scenery.
Chen Kaizhi was embarrassed, but he still nodded obediently to his teacher.
The Fang family had already prepared the carriage and horses, Mr. Fang and Chen Kaizhi were in the same car, and the carriage actually left Jinling City.
Chen Kaizhi saw that the sky was twilight, and the sunset on the horizon was strange, and he couldn't help but say: "This old friend of the teacher lives in the township?" ”
Mr. Fang seemed to be still sad about his 'dead' qin, and he still didn't feel much spirit, so he only said lightly: "He has been in Beijing for a long time, and he has just come back, so he naturally lives in the old mansion, not to mention that he should not be a person who is greedy for vanity, so he naturally doesn't like to be in the city." ”
Chen Kaizhi didn't ask any more, he didn't have a good impression of these so-called celebrities, but the reason was simple, because the teacher was a celebrity, he naturally didn't mean to slander his teacher, but sometimes looking at the teacher, there would inevitably be bold thoughts popping up - neurosis!
After walking for half an hour, the weather was hot and humid these days, Chen Kaizhi was bored in the car, already sweating profusely, and when the carriage stopped, he got out of the car first, and then helped his teacher down.
Not far away, a mansion near the mountains and rivers appeared in front of Chen Kaizhi's eyes.
There is a lake in front of the door, the mansion covers an area of hundreds of acres, and there is a mountain behind it, but the backyard seems to be building something, it looks bare, and it should be someone cutting down trees.
The life of a local tyrant, Chen Kaizhi really doesn't understand, such a big mansion is not enough, and he still wants to expand the mansion.
When Mr. Fang got out of the car, a disciple came to salute his teacher and said, "But Mr. Fang?" The owner has been waiting for a long time, please. ”
Mr. Fang nodded, and followed the door to lead Chen Kaizhi into the mansion, I don't know how many gatehouses he crossed, and in the end, the door led the two to a stop in front of a fine house.
Mr. Fang led Chen Kaizhi in, and saw that there were already people waiting inside, there were many people at the table, there were as many as seven or eight people, two of them, Chen Kaizhi was recognized, and one was Wu Jiaozhi from the county school, but Wu Jiaozhi could only sit at the last seat.
Chen Kaizhi was surprised, is a person like Wu Jiaoyu only the last seat?
I saw that in the first place, there was an old man with white hair, who looked old, but he still looked quite energetic, holding a tea cup in his hand, and he had his own demeanor.
This is the government of the king, the king is a great celebrity.
Sitting next to Wang Zhizheng, there was a person wearing a python suit, this person was wearing a silver crown, he was young, and he looked arrogant.
Python robe?
Isn't this man a royal prince?
Such a noble person also appears here?
