No. 275 Apprenticeship
At that time, the Taoist chief was also beside him, and he said, 'O Master Zeng! You just need to give him Mr. Su's recommendation, anyway, Mr. Su can't stay long in Bianliang City, so you don't have to delay this child'!
"Hah...... Ha...... Ha! As soon as Zhang Shusheng's words fell, Qin Guan over there suddenly burst out laughing.
"Brother Xian, what's wrong with you?" Li asked puzzled.
Qin Guan replied with a smile: "I didn't expect that the one who knows Master Su the most is actually a child. ”
"Brother Xian, why is that? Teacher, his old man is now staying in Bianliang City, why would that little Taoist say that? ”
"If I say this, it will have no charm." Qin Guan shook his head and responded, after speaking, he stood up, arched his hand at Zhang Shusheng, and said, "Brother Zhang, what the little Taoist said, Duke Zeng will definitely ask the reason." You might as well learn from everyone in the original way, don't you change his words like just now, don't forget, how the little Taoist chief calls Su Shi, but the world knows it! ”
"Yes, Brother Qin said this well, Lao Zhang, don't tamper with the original words at will, let us all listen to the witty words of the little Taoist." Liu Gongzi also joined in the fun.
"Oh well! On that day, Zeng Gong did ask, and the little Taoist chief replied: 'Master Zeng! Su Dabeard is a straight man, and now that Sima Xianggong is in power, he will definitely not be able to see it, and if he can't see it, he won't be able to control his mouth. Before, he was offended by the reluctance of the minister because of different political views. This time, he will definitely offend this Hu Lai's minister because of different political views. Think about it, can he stay in Bianliang City for a long time? ’”
Everyone laughed, although it was a little disrespectful, but it was indeed Su Shi's personality, as long as he thought something was wrong, he would definitely point it out to his face. This is also the fundamental reason why he has been demoted from Beijing three or four times.
"Alas! Knowing this, Su Shi might as well stay in the northwest and not come back? Li Qian sighed.
Qin Guan saw Sima Guang's personality clearly, and expressed his different opinions: "Brother Xian, your hypothesis is impossible to hold at all. Sima Xianggong was in power, and in order to completely drive those people out of the court, it was necessary to recall the two brothers back to Beijing to cheer for them. What's more, the teacher still has the opportunity to make meritorious contributions when he stays in the northwest, so how can he sit back and watch the teacher's meritorious service? ”
"Yes, perhaps for the sake of that so-called peace, this prime minister will transfer all the ministers who have made meritorious contributions in the northwest out of there and replace them with a group of chief officials with no military experience, and they will definitely not dare to act rashly. Speaking of which, this is also a good thing, during the national mourning, it is better not to take the initiative to provoke border provocations. Liu Gongzi was able to say such a thing, which made others have to be impressed.
"Brother Xian, in this way, Lord Sun, they are not immune!" Li Qian asked with some concern.
"Yes, hasn't Lord Cai Bian been dismissed? The Northwest has now changed its two chief officers. What's so strange about changing a few more? Perhaps, not only in the northwest, but also in Hedong Road. What Brother Liu said just now is actually not wrong, and now the border should be quiet. However, I'm afraid that this Xianggong's vision is too poor, and if he chooses a chief official like Xu Xi, the situation in the northwest will be very bad. Qin Guan replied without thinking.
However, when Qin Guan said the last sentence, even he was a little worried.
"Alas!" When everyone heard the words of these people, they could only sigh.
"Brother Qin doesn't have to worry too much, I have a lot of talents in the Song Dynasty. The ministers in the court are not young, and the most important task for us now is to be admitted to the Jinshi, or to hand over some more good students, even if it is to contribute to my Great Song Dynasty. Liu Gongzi saw that everyone was a little depressed, so he spoke out to comfort him.
"Brother Liu is really high-minded, it's me who is waiting for the two of them to fall in love. Please wait for me. When Qin Guan and Li Diao heard this, they suddenly realized that they quickly got up and gave a deep salute to Liu Gongzi sincerely.
"How dare you, how dare you!" Liu Gongzi hurriedly got up and saluted.
"I made a decision, and after I went back, I immediately asked the proprietor to resign, went home to help my kid teach together, collected more children who had no money to study, and taught more talents for my Great Song Dynasty. That Xiaodao leader can teach 8,000 children with a few children plus Zeng Gong. Am I such a big person, can't I teach a hundred students? Listening to their words, Zhang Shusheng suddenly became arrogant and said his future plans in public.
But Liu Gongzi hurriedly stopped: "Lao Zhang, by all means." What kind of person is that little road chief, the reincarnation of the fortune boy, so he naturally doesn't have to worry about food and clothing. However, if you quit your job, how will you live? ”
"Lao Liu, I understand your kindness. In fact, the parents of the dozen or so children we received before were enough for our family to survive. In the past, Yanzi was at home, with a spoonful of food and a scoop of drink, but in the alleys, people were unbearable, and they did not change their pleasures. Although I am not as good as him in virtue and learning, if I can teach all the children in the neighborhood to become talents, I will have enough wishes! When Zhang Shusheng said this, his mind seemed to be suddenly sublimated.
Everyone else could see his sudden change, and they didn't know if it was their own illusion, and everyone found that the five big and three rough teacher in front of him suddenly became taller, and he seemed to have become very energetic.
If there is a Zen monk, he will tell everyone, and this is called an epiphany.
Of course, Qin Guan had some knowledge of this way, so he arched his hand to Zhang Shusheng and said, "Congratulations, Brother Zhang!" ”
"Hahaha! Rejoice, rejoice! Haha for a long time, he didn't know what Qin Guan suddenly congratulated him, but he suddenly remembered something and said: "Qin Gongzi, it's a pity that my kid can't worship you as a teacher." However, my son was not the only one excellent student in that school! If you really want to take in apprentices, you have to hurry. ”
"That's right! Thank you, Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang mentioned something, but why should it be faster? Qin Guan thanked Zhang Shusheng first, and then asked.
As soon as Zhang Shusheng mentioned that school, he was a little excited, rubbed his hands, and said, "Hehe! The reason is very simple, after the assessment of that school, all the children who passed the assessment will continue to study with Zeng Gong. And those left behind are very sought-after. ”
"Then all those big Confucians go to take students?" Li asked Li.
"Is that so?" Listening to Li Di's question, Zhang Shusheng shook his head and said, "Maybe those Confucians look down on these children who are born with mud legs!" The people who go to rob the students are roughly divided into three forces:
First, it is those merchants, the arithmetic in that school is very famous, because there are many children of merchants who go to school, so those businessmen know that these children are very proficient in accounting. In this way, when the business ended, many businessmen packed up and took away all the children who were good with their sons and had outstanding academic performance. I heard that there are a few well-behaved businessmen who were directly ordered by businessmen who have no sons. When he grows up, he will join the families of these merchants. ”
Everyone knows a little bit about this, and I have heard that many of them can still do mental arithmetic, faster than others with abacus. Therefore, no one interrupted him.
"Second, you may not think that it is the Taoist temple, and it is all the Taoist temples in Bianliang City that are robbing people."
After all, Li Diao was young, and he was very curious about Cai Dao, so he couldn't help but ask, "Why is this?" ”
"The original textbook of that school had the Tao Te Ching in it. Again, one of the students went home to save his family, his home was near Wanshouguan, and his family happened to believe. That day, when his family took him to offer incense, a Taoist who was good friends with his family suddenly asked him some questions about the Tao Te Ching. You don't know, at that time, that almost didn't scare the Taoist to death.
Good fellow, this child is not only proficient in the Tao Te Ching, but can also recite Zhuangzi, Liezi, Huainanzi, I Ching and the Yellow Emperor's Neijing, and can also talk about several Taoist classics to the top, and the Taoist chief is speechless, and this matter is also known to the viewer. Therefore, as soon as this child graduated, he was recruited into the Taoist temple. As a Taoist priest, he can still marry, so his family has no obstacles.
The matter is not limited to this, this matter is likely to be seen by other pilgrims, and it spreads throughout Bianliang City. First of all, the other Taoist masters do not believe in such rumors, it is possible for a seven or eight-year-old child to memorize so many books, but he must also be able to talk about the Tao, unless it is the reincarnation of Laojun, otherwise, it is nonsense!
If a contemplator who is familiar with the contemplator of the Longevity Concept asks about it, if the Longevity Viewer answers truthfully at the time, the viewer may not believe it.
But as soon as he saw his old friend come to inquire about it, he immediately denied it, and talked about him left and right.
Therefore, this contemplator summoned the contemplators of other Taoist temples in Bianliang City, and the strength of everyone to find out if the believers near their Taoist temples had children studying in that school, and found out. Only then did they know that not only was it true, but also that the child at the beginning was not the most learned, he could only rank third in it, and there were two children who were already able to interpret the inner and outer chapters of Baopuzi in the second year. ”
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked.
