Chapter 41: Thanksgiving
"Senior Brother Wu helped my younger brother invite one or two southern students who are willing to come here to teach test-taking dexterity, and then help me buy more books, my younger brother also wants to prepare for the exam in the future, and he is very anxious,"
Zhang Huan must participate in the exam, and he must try to take the exam in Beijing, after all, this is a shortcut to the officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty, but he can't leave now, so it is certain to attract two students with good knowledge and provincial examination experience from Beijing, and then collect some test-taking books.
At this time, there are books about the examination is quite common, and the same as the later generations of China, the examination industry chain has produced a lot of products, but it needs to be collected and sorted, so if the imperial examination is not enough in the family, it is still forgotten, there is basically no hope in the examination, and some of the families who are well-off have used alternative tutoring methods to advance, poor students can only use their own boring heads to study, unless they are talented, otherwise there may be no in the examination.
Of course, he can find other people to do this work, for example, Feng Xiaohe is a good candidate, the reason why Wu Yuan is allowed to do it is an excuse, so that he is not too embarrassed, and he has to go around like this at this time.
"Senior brother, I dare not do my best, thank you junior brother,"
Wu Yuan bowed and thanked him, he knew too well why Zhang Huan was like this, this was to help him, and to save him enough face, he was grateful.
During the recess, Zhang Huan now has one more place to move around, and he can't wait for the backward to enter.
However, Liu Yue's study and rest room in the wing room are on the ground, which shows Zhang Huan's status in Yanxi Academy, that is, he has also entered the hall and become one of Liu Yue's favorite disciples.
When Zhang Huan entered, he saw Liu Yue and Mr. Jiang talking, of course, there is no time limit for hand talk at this time, you can think about the other party's next step without restrictions, and you can take the next step in two days or three days, of course, as long as the face supports it.
When Zhang Huan went in, Mr. Jiang happened to have a son, and Liu Yue made tea, this tea soup is not the clear tea of later generations, it is very cumbersome.
'Zhang Huan, for the teacher to lose a son,'
Liu Yue's level is much worse than Mr. Jiang's, so in his opinion, how bad can Zhang Huan help Luozi be, anyway, he always has to lose.
Zhang Huan glanced at the chess game, now the two sides have only played a dozen hands, are in the center of the competition for the general trend, at this time the game of Go is to pay attention to the layout of the central trend, from the central competition to the corners, is the so-called dignified.
Zhang Huan came up and responded to a plot in the lower right corner, his Go level was very average in later generations, but after reading some chess games, at least the later generations of Go who competed for twisting were very clear.
If this move was played by Liu Yue, Mr. Jiang would definitely sneer at the wrong way, but a student played this move, he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and he continued to make a cloth in the center.
Zhang Huan laid two sons in the lower left corner and the upper left corner, Mr. Jiang walked the two sons at will, the two of them went down quickly, to the sixth hand, when Zhang Huan finished guarding the corner, Mr. Jiang really couldn't help it, although he occupied the general trend very smoothly and coolly, but if he went down so quickly, it was necessary to wait for Liu Yue to come back, wouldn't it be said that he bullied his disciples, and what fun was there in winning like this.
"Zhang Huan, why are you stubborn on the border, this is not a square law,"
"Sir doesn't know, this is the way I don't preach,"
Zhang Huan smiled.
Mr. Jiang's face twitched, well, this little bastard has been arrogant recently, and he hasn't passed on the secret, and when you tell him to spare him,
The two played chess in a muffled voice, the two played fast, one developed the corners, occasionally caused a little difficulty to the other party at the center point, and the other occupied the central trend steadily.
So when Liu Yue came back, he was surprised to find that this game of chess had become a very strange chess game, only to see the center of the white expanse, only a few points of black he had played, and the surrounding black and bright scattered, this, what kind of chess game is this, Rao is he is also a veteran, and it is the first time I have seen it, strange.
At this time, there is a class, and a few people leave the chessboard there and ignore it, which is the norm, and sometimes a game of chess is played for several days, and it is just a daily pastime to pass the time.
Zhang Huan, Zhang Hao and Heihu returned home and suddenly found that Chen was trying on clothes soap at home.
I saw that Chen was washing his naked clothes with a small piece of worn soap, and Qiu Tao was curiously looking at the soap in his hand.
"Childe is back,"
Qiu Tao came over and took over Zhang Huan and Zhang Hao's bookbags,
"Childe, look at the clothes and soap that my aunt brought back from Dongshi, the laundry is very clean,"
Qiu Tao chattered, and handed the soap to Zhang Huan as she spoke, in her opinion, this small square was really a magical object.
Zhang Huan took it and smiled,
"Auntie, is it really that easy to use?"
"It's very easy to use, Zhang Hao and Zhang Yuan go crazy every day, their clothes have to be beaten with a wooden stick every time, and you see after using the soap,"
Chen was quite excited to show Zhang Huan the clothes in his hand, Zhang Huan saw that it was really clean, no wonder Chen was so excited, using this clothing soap, not using a wooden stick to beat that would save how much wear and tear of clothes, and then her laundry was not so tired.
You must know that washing clothes at this time is definitely physical work, and the family's clothes are enough for her to wield a stick more than 100 times, which is a heavy burden for the thin Chen family, and it seems that she is not needed now.
"Hahaha, that's fine, wait for Ming'er, nephew will bring you some back,"
Zhang Huan was very happy to be able to relieve Chen's burden.
"That's not possible, this soap is 30 pieces a piece, and today these things are just given away for trial, no money,"
Thirty wen is not a small amount of money, Chen himself calculated it, if you look at it today, it is quite durable, but it can also be used, after all, although it is more expensive than soap, but the clothes saved are not small money.
It's just like Zhang Huan said to take some at random, it would be too expensive.
"Auntie, don't worry, this is all done by the nephew himself, and his family can use it at will,"
As soon as these words came out, Chen and Qiu Tao were dumbfounded, especially Qiu Tao's cute face, Chen felt more and more that his nephew was out of luck, look at the recent changes in the family, from the low and narrow courtyard to this big mansion, and this time he made such a good object, even if Chen has no business acumen, he also knows that this object can make a lot of money.
And Qiu Tao felt more and more that her son-in-law was mysterious.
Zhang Huan ate white flour cakes and meat and woad soup for lunch, now this kind of food is the standard of the Zhang family, and the previous two meals have become three meals, such a change has not encountered any resistance, if the family is good, three meals are of course good, let Zhang Hao, Zhang Yuan eat a full long body of course good, Zhang Yuanzhou, Chen of course agreed.
However, Zhang Yuanzhou has an insistence, he is still wearing the clothes he used to patch, and he will never change new clothes, his son and daughter are stained with Zhang Huan's light, Zhang Yuanzhou has no face and spends his nephew's money.
