Some people say that lazy donkeys have a lot of feces and urine on them, which means that when it is time for lazy people to do their jobs, they will find all kinds of excuses to escape.

In this regard, Li Qian has a lot of say. He didn't think that he was deliberately delaying and procrastinating, but sharpening his knife and not chopping wood, in order to better complete the next work!

After some washing, he instructed the chief of the magistrate: "Go and get me another basin of water to prepare, and after I finish going to the toilet, I will wash my face." ”

“------”

Long with that waterfall sweat, my heart said that this master is inevitably a little more exquisite, like a girl. After he washed up this whole set, he would definitely not be finished in half an hour------

Li Qian went straight to the thatched house, and when he got to the ground, he saw it------Well, it's still done, the county magistrate is still very particular, not only the thatched house is very clean, but even the paper is ready.

Many people mistakenly think that the living conditions of the ancients were very poor, such as at the very least, there was not even a toilet paper after defecation, which is actually wrong.

The ancients in the Tang and Song dynasties did use toilet chips to wipe their buttocks, commonly known as shit-stirring sticks, and the materials were wooden or bamboo. However, it is reported that since the Yuan Dynasty, there has been hand paper, but at that time it was mostly used by the imperial palace and nobles.

Since the eight brothers of Zhu Chong overthrew the Yuan Dynasty, at this time, paper has long been popular------ of course, there are still rich people who use it a lot, and poor people still use things like "toilet chips".

The reason is actually very simple, now papermaking has been quite developed, and it is no longer an era when paper is too expensive. People with decent family conditions can afford to write paper, so what's so unusual about the appearance of hand paper?

Even in the Tang and Song dynasties, it is difficult to guarantee that there are no extravagant people who wipe their butts with paper, right? Don't say it's paper, and there are countless powerful people who wipe their buttocks with silk cloth------

A glimpse of the whole leopard, the ancients in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the living conditions were by no means as bad as imagined. At least the young master of a landlord like Li Qian, on the whole, is doing quite well------ although it is not as good as in the 21st century.

Not to mention, in the toiletries alone, there is toothpaste and toothbrushes, which have vaguely seen the prototype of future generations------ of course it is not cheap.

The toothbrush is fine, made of bones and bristles, and you can buy it for the money of a candle, and the toothpaste is a special tooth pharmacy in the pharmacy. In addition, there is pancreatic soap for bathing, washing, washing and washing, of course, it is also expensive to die, and ordinary people can't afford this for the time being.

There are not too many examples like this, Li Qian, as a broad young master, naturally doesn't care too much about these things, even taking a bath with two pretty maids waiting, doing his best to be extravagant and corrupt------ although at first, he still felt a little embarrassed, but after a long time, he got used to it.

After cleaning up for a while, Li Qian changed into a brand-new gorgeous robe, with that young and handsome face, it looked quite a bit fairy-like------ in fact, this is really not what he likes to show off, in fact, none of these clothes made at home in the past can reflect the simple style!

"Okay, I know the way myself, so I won't ask you to lead me, help me take the clothes I have changed into and wash them." After the words fell, Li Qian walked straight towards the inner courtyard.

"------" Chang Sui cried, at the moment he was very homesick and wanted to go back to his mother.

Although the apprenticeship ceremony in this era is also very solemn, it does not need to prepare too many things, a piece of incense and a simple worship of the utensils used by Confucius and Mencius are enough. Compared with paying tuition fees and filling out an application form in later generations, this can be regarded as paying special attention to Mr.

Wang Zhixian ordered a long-term attendant yesterday to arrange all things, and the bundles were also prepared for Li Qian------ but this was useless, after all, he still had to hold this grand apprenticeship ceremony for his son by himself.

Wang Xiaogongzi is not very old, and he is only two years older than Li Qian's nephew Bao'er, and he looks quite strong, almost equivalent to the figure of two Bao'er.

He first worshipped the sage, and then he worshipped the gentleman. In this process, Li Qian has been secretly observing Wang Zhixian's face, and after finding that there is no precursor to the outbreak of the power of the flood, he can be regarded as putting his heart back in his stomach, and even if he said a lot of admonitions in a serious manner.

"Ahem------ there is a diligent path in Shushan, and there is no end to learning from the sea. From now on, you should be determined to devote yourself to learning, study hard, study diligently, guard against arrogance and rashness------ listen to the words of the sages attentively, and take it as your responsibility to calm down and cultivate yourself and govern the country and level the world, and remember not to be lazy and slippery, and slack off in your studies------"

After some earnest words, Wang Xiaogongzi was drowsy, but Wang Zhixian on the side nodded again and again, saying that the master he invited was still somewhat knowledgeable, at least his attitude was still very correct.

Of course, Li Qian would not be so old-fashioned and dogmatic, but in front of his parents, he had to put on a rigorous posture of studying, otherwise the other party would think that he did not have the appearance of a master.

This kind of immoral thing like misleading people's children will definitely not be able to do it yourself. I can teach how I want, after all, I have the experience of being a student, and I am still a student of two lifetimes.

As for whether it can be taught well, it is not easy to guarantee.

This kind of thing has always been led by the master into the door, and the cultivation depends on the individual. If it is really a good seedling, just water and fertilize, and people will start to grow up by themselves, and they don't have to worry too much about it; If it's really not that material, even if it is a seedling boost, it won't have much effect.

Soon Li Qian found that Wang Zhixian was very realistic, and his words could be listened to without discounting.

The so-called "dog talent is dull" is by no means a simple self-humility and politeness, his little prince is indeed very dull------ saying that he has already finished Mongolian school, and has studied the "Analects" for a few months, in fact, he can barely recognize some words, and even the "Analects" in the study and chapter can not be memorized.

No wonder people often say that they have big breasts and no brains------ but they are wrong, because the limbs are developed and the mind is simple, and the nutrition is all on the body!

This was somewhat unexpected by Li Qian, after all, the pace of cultivating scholars in this era was very fast, and the "prodigy" was widely loved and praised by the public. In the Jiangnan area, twelve or thirteen-year-old students usually have been able to pass the county examination and become children, and it is not uncommon for fourteen or fifteen-year-old talents to be ------ show.

After a simple school examination, Li Qian was a little helpless, this money is not easy to earn------ at the moment, he can only start teaching from the "Analects".

"Okay, let's learn this one today, you follow me to read a paragraph first------"

Li Qian opened the scroll in his hand and read in a frustrated voice: "Zi said, learn and learn from time to time, don't you also say? Have friends come from afar, are you happy? People don't know and are not ashamed, and they are not gentlemen------"

Wang Xiaogongzi shook his head and read along: "Zi said, learn and learn from time to time, don't you also say it?" There are friends from afar, and they are very happy------"

Li Qian didn't bother to correct his habit, after all, there was no punctuation in this era, and only by shaking his head did he have a sense of rhythm------

The sound of reading aloud came from the private school, and Li Fuzi's first day of teaching journey could be regarded as the official start. Outside the door separated by the bamboo curtain, Wang Zhixian stood under the porch and listened quietly for a while, before nodding and turning to leave.

However, this situation only lasted less than half a day------

After teaching for two and a half hours in the morning, including lunch, Li Qian went back to his room to sleep. Of course, Wang Xiaogongzi was very happy to be able to leave school early, and disappeared as soon as he slipped through the smoke.

Li Qian's approach is actually not excessive, originally Mr. Lecturing every day is not too long, and he can also arrange it by himself, more rely on his disciples to go back to self-study------ but for Wang Xiaopang, this is simply nonsense! It is obviously impossible to expect him to teach himself, unless the sun comes out in the west!

This is true in normal times, but even more so in the summer, and the school hours are shortened. After all, the weather is too hot, students can't learn to talk about it, and they are prone to heat stroke after being stuffy in the house for a long time------ but this is something that only happens in midsummer.

Li Qian can't care so much, anyway, in his eyes, summer is the same heat, even if it is early summer and midsummer, he must shorten the teaching time!

Besides, Wang Zhixian's monthly salary for himself is not high, how much motivation do you expect to have? I never thought about being a hard-working "gardener------

After the summer, the weather in Hangzhou City is indeed very hot, and Li Qian estimates that it will be about 278 degrees today.

Lying on the bed and opening the window, but there was not much wind blowing in, he was already sweating after not sleeping for a while, Li Qian at this moment suddenly felt homesick, of course he was not thinking about his mother------ what he missed was Zijin and Zipei, how much he missed the days when the two of them were by his side!

One turned over and sat up from the couch, and Li Qian muttered a little melancholy: "It's still those two girls who are more intimate, and when it's cold, they will add a quilt, an incense, and a charcoal stove to themselves; When it's hot, they will fan themselves, one rubs their shoulders, and the other pinchs their legs------ but I don't know how they are at home, have they been bullied, and have the surnamed Zhao come to the door again to ask for someone? ”

Moved a chair to the porch, Li Qian sat at the door and was stunned, there was a slight breeze here from time to time. Suddenly, I noticed that the leaves of the ginkgo tree in the yard were swaying slightly, and it seemed to be cooler in the shade.

Then, he moved a spring stool to the shade of the tree, lay down without any image, and continued to be in a daze------No, he was thinking about life!"

People are always not easily satisfied, they can sit and never stand, they can lie down and never sit------ Li Qian is in such a state at the moment. After lying down for a while, he felt uncomfortable again, and sighed faintly: "Why, there are no rocking chairs in this era?" It's so out------"

Not far away by the moon arch, Chang Sui was holding a gilded invitation in his hand, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard his heartfelt emotion, and he stumbled under his feet and almost fell------

This Master Li doesn't look like he's here to teach, he's clearly here to enjoy!
