Chapter Thirty-Nine: Learn, Learn, Learn Anything!
Lancao didn't know what Tang Que was thinking, and when she saw him frowning slightly, she asked casually, "What's wrong?" ”。
"It's nothing", Tang Que smiled, there was nothing to say. According to his current identity, even the changes in the DPRK and China cannot be related to him, after all, history directly records that in recent decades, the national strength of the Tang Dynasty has gradually strengthened, and the domestic people's livelihood is stable. When I come back, I have to prepare my schoolwork, and I have to go to the county school tomorrow morning."
Tianfu Temple located in the west of the city gate is the first Buddhist jungle in this county, the abbot of the temple Elder Chengning is a friend of the old master Yan for many years, this time when Tang Que left, the old master Yan asked him to bring a hand-copied copy of the "Diamond Sutra" to the old friend.
Tang Que arrived at Tianfu Temple and explained the reason to the Zhike at the mountain gate, and the Zhike monk heard that he was a student of Old Master Yan, so he didn't ask again, so he directly ordered Xiao Shami to take Tang Que to the abbot to find it.
The abbot where Chengning lived was in a secluded small courtyard behind the temple, and as soon as Tang Que followed Sha Mi to the gate of the courtyard, he heard a faint sound of the piano coming from inside.
Xiao Shami stopped after hearing the sound of the piano, Tang Que also stopped and listened to the wall, he didn't understand the piano and couldn't hear the good or bad, but he felt that the sound of the piano coming out of it was light and clear, which was diametrically opposed to the violent pop music that he was used to hearing in later generations, but it was this light sound like spring water that could make people feel calm.
The little novice waited until the sound of the piano was curling before reaching out and pushing the door in, and there was a simple piano table in the middle of the courtyard, and the old monk with three white beards behind the piano platform was Chengning.
After Tang Que saw the ceremony, he handed over the "Diamond Sutra" written by Old Master Yan, followed by a handwritten letter from Old Master Yan.
Tang Que originally thought that he would leave after Cheng Jing finished reading the letter, but he didn't expect that after the old monk took the letter and read it again, he looked at him carefully, his eyes were very careful, which made Tang Que feel very awkward.
After reading it, the old monk handed the letter to Tang Que from Old Master Yan, "Take a look."
Tang Que, who was full of surprise, took the letter, and after reading it, he understood the origin of the old monk's strange behavior, it turned out that Old Master Yan was apprenticed to him in the letter, and wanted to ask the old monk to teach Tang Que piano skills and painting skills. Because he didn't know if Cheng Ning would agree, he didn't tell Tang Que in advance.
Now that the old monk has shown this letter to himself, he is obviously satisfied with him and is willing to accept this apprentice.
Old Master Yan's meaning Tang Que understood very well that compared with later generations, there were fewer scholars in ancient times, but the requirements for scholars who read were also higher, and it was not just about reading good books. For example, the qin in front of him was one of the standards for the imperial court in the Sui Dynasty. Although the Tang Dynasty did not have this regulation, it was indispensable to play the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, even if it was not proficient, at least it had to be dabbled in. Just like this time, he was able to enter the county school, which was borrowed from the power of Go. As for other participation in literary meetings and exchanges between literati, these four things are indispensable, and if a scholar does not know these things, not only will he be ashamed, but he will not even have room to interject when interacting with others.
Tang Que looked at Old Master Yan's letter, in addition to being moved or moved, he also felt that the teacher's performance was a little cold when he left home this time, but now it seems that he is too shallow, and his real concern is not just a superficial affectionate greeting.
The teacher had a fist in his heart, Tang Quegang had heard Chengning's feelings after playing the piano, how could he refuse such a good thing, and after reading the letter, he made an apprenticeship and agreed to come here once every five days to learn the skills of piano painting.
Tang Que resigned from Tianfu Temple and returned to the house, Sister Lan had already boiled the water for bathing, and the hot air was billowing in the chest-high Lu Feng bucket, and it was faintly visible that there was a layer of dried petals harvested and dried last autumn floating on it.
Tang Que had only seen such a scene on TV in his later life, but he didn't expect to be able to enjoy it after crossing over to Tang, he took off his clothes and sank into Lu Feng, and the slightly hot water stigated his whole body and shivered, but the fatigue that he had been saving for days in his bones was squeezed out by his brain.
The hot water was excited, the heat was smoking, and Tang Que was so lazy that he didn't even want to reach out for the bath cloth next to him. Just as he was enjoying the hot water with his eyes slightly closed, with a slight sound of footsteps, Lancao walked in slowly.
A small scoop of water swayed in the Lu breeze, and then the hot water was poured on Tang Que's shoulder, and after three or five scoops went down, a pair of slippery little hands picked up a bath cloth and scrubbed it on the man's body.
Lancao rubbed Tang Que in the bath with one hand, and slid softly on the man's body with the other hand, "Ah Cheng, let's go to the market after taking a bath."
The lazy comfort made Tang Que reluctant to open his eyes, and the words also hummed out of his nose, "What do you want to go to the market?" ”。
"You've all gone to county school, so you have to have a scholar waiting for pen and ink, right? In addition, I have to buy a few people in the house, this is what Mrs. has long ordered, I am afraid that I will not buy what you want, because I will wait until now", Lancao's tone is like a little daughter-in-law to her father-in-law, gentle and gentle obedience. There is also a little bit of scolding with the villagers.
The subordinates who buy and serve must be satisfied with themselves, and the master and servant clearly regard themselves as male masters! Feeling the tenderness and sweetness coming from Lancao's fingers, Tang Que, who was silent for a moment, let out a long breath silently, even if it was difficult for his parents to explain, he had to give these two masters and servants an explanation.
Until now, Tang Que didn't know clearly whether he loved these two women, the only thing he knew was that these two women were wholeheartedly good to him, and he was very relaxed and happy when he was with them. And these are two poor women, as a man who is very close to them, it has become a kind of responsibility to make them happy.
"With you, what else do I want the scholar to do! It's not good to read at night with red sleeves, so you have to find a child to spoil the scenery? When Tang Que raised his arm to hold Sister Lan'er's hand, there was a commotion, "As for the subordinates, if it weren't for the fact that you were too tired to work alone, according to my heart, I didn't want any of them, how good it is for people close to me to live behind closed doors, there is no need to let outsiders disturb me."
"Then buy two less, let them live in the outer yard, and the second one is not allowed to come in the yard", Tang Que pulled Lancao's hand to appease, but Lancao was obviously wrong, the spring-like hand only stopped in front of the man's chest for a moment before going down, she leaned down, Tang Que's headrest fell into two warm and delicate, microwave softness.
Lan Cao's hand swept through the water waves, burrowing into the dark shadow under the man's waist, and immediately, the calm water surface rippled in a circle. And Tang Que's head and face were also buried deep in the two plump masses because the blue grass was bent too low, and he was almost breathless.
