Chapter 16: Astonishing the Crowd
Just now, there was still a lot of noise in the private school, but at this moment, it was silent, that is, someone accidentally dropped a needle as thin as a gossamer and fell to the ground, and the subtle sound of the needle and the ground could be heard. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Originally, the situation at this hour was used by the students who went to the private school to recite the texts, and yesterday, until the end of the evening, these guys who did not learn and did not even have the skills were able to recite the first volume of "Mencius" according to Mr. Hu's request.
Even so, Mr. Hu didn't dare to leave these "little rich people" in the private school too late, so he had no choice but to let them all go home.
According to common sense, yesterday they didn't even memorize the first volume of "Mencius", and early this morning, they should study hard in the private school.
But this group of unmotivated guys, instead of one of them reciting and reading seriously, they even made bets. After seeing Wang Bin come in, they all sat in their seats in silence, waiting for the moment when Wang Bin would recite the entire Analects.
After about half an hour, Mr. Hu, who was holding an oil-paper umbrella and wetting half of his body, was late, and until this time, the students who had not made a sound until this time showed an angry look, each shaking their heads and reciting the text on the first page of the first volume of "Mencius".
"Okay, don't continue to pretend to the old man, don't make a sound, turn your head around the old man. Next, let the fool recite the full text of the Analects to you, so that you can have a good look at how hard other fools work at home, and you all give the old man a good snack. ”
After holding the oil-paper umbrella open on the open space near the entrance of the private school, he stood beside Wang Bin, and said in a commanding tone almost in a commanding tone to the group of students sitting in front of him who shook their heads and said in a commanding tone.
As soon as Mr. Hu's words fell, the group of guys who were pretending to be were naturally very obedient, and immediately dropped the "Mencius" in their hands, picked up the "Analects" placed next to the desk and turned the first page, turned around, and all of them cast their eyes on Wang Bin.
In these pairs of eyes, the eyes of Liu Wencai and his group were full of banter and contempt, but Liu Wenfeng's eyes were full of composure and indifference, because he knew that Wang Bin would definitely be able to recite the full text of the "Analects" word for word according to their discussion yesterday.
Since, yesterday at Wang Bin's house, Liu Wenfeng went alone, for the sake of secrecy, Liu Wenfeng didn't even reveal the slightest hint of the seven little brothers who followed him, which also made Liu directly boil down Although he made a bet with Liu Wenfeng, their eyes were full of worry and worry at this time.
To say that this ginger is still old and spicy. Even if Mr. Hu set up such a problem for Wang Bin, when he was studying in a private school when he was young, he memorized the full text of the Analects by stumbling through a month of reading without sleeping and eating. And there's no guarantee that you'll be right anywhere.
It can be said that Mr. Hu Lao did not believe in his heart that Wang Bin could recite the full text of the Analects to Xia Xia again, and as for Wang Bin reciting the full text of "Mencius" word for word yesterday, even the pause was just right.
In this regard, he thought that Wang Bin, the elm head, perhaps a stupid brain flew first, and he had been reciting for several years, and it was not impossible to memorize the entire content of "Mencius" to the extent that he was ripe.
However, in half a day and a night, Mr. Hu, who was able to memorize the entire content of the Analects word for word, and had been a reader for most of his life, categorically thought that it was almost impossible.
Unless there is only one possibility, that is, Wang Bin, who has just recovered from a serious illness, has become a prodigy from the fool before. But in the eyes of Mr. Hu, Wang Bin's current state is almost the same as before, he is still a dull-headed hairy boy, if you want to say that Wang Bin is a prodigy, Mr. Hu thinks that his twenty or thirty students here are estimated to be more prodigies than prodigies.
Seeing that all the students sitting in the front row turned around with the "Analects" thread-bound book in one hand, staring intently at Wang Bin, who was sitting not far from the door of the private school, Mr. Hu, who was standing on the side, felt that the hour was almost up, so he used his slightly old voice to announce aloud: "Okay, fool, you stand up, close the book in front of the table, and you can start reciting the Analects of Master Long." ”
Hearing Mr. Hu's order, he closed the "Analects" thread-bound book on the table in front of him, stood up from the stool with a "free" ground, raised his head and looked ahead, and when people were unprepared, he communicated with Liu Wenfeng, who was sitting not far in front of him, and smiled slightly after looking at each other.
Pretending to be calm and clearing his throat, Wang Bin was about to open his mouth to recite, when he heard a young woman panting and anxiously calling out from the rain curtain outside, which was already getting heavier and heavier: "Silly, stupid, you, you, you come out quickly, follow, follow me quickly." ”
Before Wang Bin, who was about to open his mouth to recite the Analects, opened his mouth to speak, sitting in the front row looking at the middle of the more than 30 students at the door of the private school, he only heard Liu Wenfeng, who was sitting in the second row on the right, open his mouth wide and exclaimed: "Jade, Miss Yu'er, how could it be Miss Yu'er here?" ”
With Liu Wenfeng's exclamation, Liu Yuer, who was wearing an oil-paper umbrella from the rain curtain outside, had already taken hurried steps and stood at the door of the private school.
Just now, when he heard Liu Wenfeng exclaim that it was Liu Yu'er, Liu Wencai, who was sitting on the right side of the second row, broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at the door of the private school more than ten steps in front of him.
Because two years ago, Liu Wencai's father, Liu Jiansheng, who opened a big restaurant in the county seat, wanted to climb Liu Yuer's family business, and visited Liu Yuanwai's house with a dowry worth hundreds of taels of silver.
In ancient times, the marriage of children had to pay attention to the orders of their parents and the words of matchmakers. Generally, the daughters of wealthy families are very common when they reach the age of twelve or thirteen, and in the rural areas where this concept is deep-rooted, as long as the family background is relatively solid, they all hope that their children will get married and have children as soon as possible, but they have fulfilled a wish as parents.
However, this Liu Jian had just entered the door of Liu Yuanwai's house with a noisy matchmaker and a heavy dowry, and before he saw Liu Yuanwai himself, Liu Yuer, who learned about the incident, drove people out with a few family members and put the dowry outside the door.
Moreover, outside the gate of Liu's house, Liu Yuer, who was very angry at that time, swore to Liu Jiansheng, who came to ask for his son, on the spot: She will not be able to marry in this life, and she will not hand it over to his bastard son Liu Wencai. If he chooses a husband between his son Liu Wencai and Fool, he would rather choose to marry Fool than marry his son Liu Wencai.
Since, Liu Yuer left such cruel words in front of a few cronies and maids, Liu Jiansheng, who had a gray nose, had no choice but to leave with the matchmaker and the dowry. Moreover, since that fight, Liu Jiansheng has never been to Liu Yuanwai's house again, even if he is also a member of the Liu family, he has not been to Liu Yuanwai's house once during the New Year's holiday.
In Liu Jiansheng's view, Liu Yuer said in front of the public that his baby son was degraded as inferior to the stupid fool, which was a great shame for him, the owner of a big restaurant in the county.
From another side, it is also reflected that in Liujia Village, if you want to humiliate a person fiercely, then, if that fool compares, it is a good rhetoric.
Regarding this matter, Liu Jiansheng told his son Liu Wencai more than once after drinking, which is why he knew that Liu Wencai was not a reading material, and he would rather throw Liu Wencai in Mr. Hu's private school for a few taels of silver a year, so that he could lay a good foundation for a few years of study, and then transfer to the private school in the county, so that it would not be too embarrassing.
In short, in the eyes of Liu Jiansheng, who has been humiliated, he must let his son Liu Wencai study hard, even if he is a person or something, it can be regarded as a good face for him, and in the future, he will spend money to go to the county government to find an official and a half-job, so that it is too late for Liu Yuer, who is nested in Liujia Village, to regret it.
For Liu Wencai's small move, the students sitting in the front and back, left and right, at this time focused their eyes on Liu Yu'er, who was standing at the door of the private school, with slim eyes and bright teeth, where would anyone take care of him.
Wang Bin, who had just swallowed the words that had just come to his mouth, turned sideways and saw that the person standing three or four steps away from the door of the private school in front of him was Liu Yu'er, so he guessed in his heart seven or eight points of her intention, but he still pretended not to know, and asked puzzledly: "Miss Yu'er, I was about to recite the full text of the Analects for Mr. Hu, why did you come here?" I am now a student at a private school, and I can't leave without Mr. Hu's message. ”
When he heard Wang Bin, who was confused, say that he was going to memorize the full text of the Analects, Liu Yuer, who came to Wang Bin in a hurry, couldn't help but laugh on the spot.
In her opinion, although Wang Bin has recovered from a serious illness, this head is smarter than before, and his ideas are also different from ordinary people, but she has never heard of him reading private school before, and she naturally feels that this is simply a fool's dream, and it is impossible at all.
In order to verify that what Wang Bin said was true, Liu Yuer hurriedly restrained a smile on her face, and asked Mr. Hu, who was standing two or three steps away in front of her, to verify: "Mr. Hu, is everything that the fool is doing is true?" ”
Asked by Liu Yu'er, Mr. Hu was stunned for a moment, and then explained: "Miss Yu'er, what the fool said is true, he is now a student in this private school opened by the old man, and he needs to go through a three-day assessment before he can officially enter the school. This is the second day, and the content of his assessment is to memorize the entire content of the Analects word for word, otherwise he will lose his qualification to study in my private school. ”
When Mr. Hu finished explaining, Liu Yuer understood what was going on. When she saw Wang Bin in front of her at this time, she felt that it didn't matter if she delayed for a while, so she might as well sit down and see if Wang Bin could really memorize the entire content of the Analects.
In fact, Liu Yuer had already made up her mind in her heart: if Wang Bin memorized the wrong place, even if it was a word, even if he got the pause wrong, then even if he failed the challenge and lost the qualification to continue to study in the private school, then he2 could logically take Wang Bin away from the private school.
So, Liu Yuer asked Mr. Hu to stay and listen to Wang Bin recite the full text of the Analects. Mr. Hu naturally agreed to Liu Yuer's request with great interest.
Next, everyone present except Wang Bin himself and Liu Wenfeng spent an hour and a half listening to Wang Bin in shock, and they didn't even breathe, and memorized all the contents of the Analects word for word.
What is even more shocking is that Liu Yuer, who was sitting on the side and listening to Wang Bin reciting the full text of the "Analects", stood up after Wang Bin finished reciting, walked straight to Wang Bin, stretched out her hand, grabbed a hand of Wang Bin who put down the "Analects" and stood in place, in the eyes of more than 30 pairs of envy, jealousy and hatred, Liu Yuer pulled Wang Bin and ran out of the private school.
Liu Wencai, who was sitting in the second row on the right side of the front row of the private school, looked at the figures of Liu Yuer and Wang Bin who disappeared at the door of the private school, and secretly wondered: Could it be that what Miss Yu'er said to my father before was true, she would rather choose to marry this fool than take a straight look at me. Now, this Liu Yuer is really spicy enough, and she has found a private school when looking for a man.
Thinking of this, Liu Wencai, who was sad, sighed lightly, and secretly said to himself in a state of disappointment: Alas, it seems that I must study hard in the future, at least I must recite the full text of the first volume of "Mencius" requested by Mr. Hu yesterday, and I must let Liu Yuer, a little girl, look up to me.
And Liu Wenfeng, who was sitting in the second row on the left side of the front row of the private school, focused his eyes on Liu Wencai's body at this time, and saw her look dejected, and secretly said to himself in a fit of shame: Liu Wencai's house finally fell into my hands again, and the more than 2,000 yuan of him and her little brother will fall into our hands.
