Chapter 5 Apprenticeship

Kindness?

Hearing the voice, Zhang Youke frowned, got up and looked outside. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

I saw a six-year-old child, holding two lumps of dirt in his hands, looking at himself with a smile, this baby is not Gao Zhong or someone else?

smiled, Zhang Youke also knew these days that this child would not speak, and he was extremely quiet on weekdays, so it should not be his mouth. After looking around and seeing that there was no one else, he sat down again, thinking that he had misheard: "If a husband and wife are not good, they can do it, and even if they are not good, even if the saints are also unscrupulous?" ā€

"If a husband and wife are not good, they can do it, and even if they are not good, even if the saints are also unscrupulous?"

This time, just like last time, the voice will fall, and a crisp voice will sound again, and it will also be a childish child's voice.

Zhang Youke was a little angry, put down the book, picked up the folding fan, shook his shirt and didn't call his scholar, just walked towards the outside of the bamboo house. He wanted to see who was playing tricks on him and disturbing him from his studies.

But when I got out of the house, I didn't see anyone, only Gao Zhong, a baby, barefoot, holding two lumps of dirt in his hands, looking at himself with a smile.

Frowning, Zhang Youke said in surprise: "It's weird, could it be that I really have a bad ear?" ā€

"The way of a gentleman is hidden. The foolishness of the husband and wife can be related to the knowledge, and the extreme, although the saints also do not know? If the husband and wife are not good, they can do it, and even if they are not good, although the saints are also unscrupulous? ā€

Gao Zhong grinned, and rather proudly recounted what he had chanted earlier.

"Okay, it turned out to be you baby!"

Zhang Youke was taken aback, this child has seen him no less than three or four times, and he has heard a lot about his situation, and he has always thought that this child fell into the water after falling into the water, and he is afraid that he will be like this all his life. I didn't expect to hear him speak today, and he followed himself to recite the classic "The Way is Inseparable" in "The Mean".

"Hey, hey."

Gao Zhong smiled, revealing his white teeth, looking so innocent.

"Didn't you know how to speak, and now you're cured?"

After thinking for a while, Zhang Youke asked Gao Zhong.

"Yes, yes!"

Gao Zhong smiled and nodded.

"What are you reading with me?"

Seeing that Gao Zhong was so lively, and he was in a completely different state from before, Zhang Youke asked Gao Zhong curiously.

"Reading," Gao Zhong tilted his head, looked up at his eyes, and then said, "Mengxue, Mengxue!" ā€

"Mengxue?" Zhang Youke laughed, then shook his head: "Do you want to study with me?" ā€

"Yes!"

Gao Zhong nodded excitedly.

"Why?"

Seeing Gao Zhong's actions, Zhang Youke became interested, squatted down and touched Gao Zhong's head and asked curiously.

"Well, you're a Wenqu star, it's right to follow you."

Gao Zhong quickly gave an answer.

"Hahaha," Zhang Youke laughed: "Follow me to study, but you have to pay for it!" ā€

"Bundled?"

Hearing the word "Shu Yu", Gao Zhong was excited, the so-called Shu Shu is the teacher's salary, according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, it is ten pieces of bacon plus all the rest of the gifts, this is an eternal rule.

"Do you know what a bundle is?"

Zhang Yu continued ridiculously.

Gao Zhong pouted and shook his head.

"The bundle is your tuition, if you don't have it, you can't study with me."

After patting Gao Zhong's head, Zhang Youke stood up, returned directly to his bamboo house, and continued to study hard.

Outside the house, Gao Zhong still looked at Zhang Youke in the bamboo house, then trotted back to the yellow cypress tree, put all the sweet potatoes and potatoes in his hand beside the basket, and then trotted all the way towards the stream on the other side.

The scorching summer sun shone on the earth, scorching the earth with blazing heat.

Even Zhang Youke in the bamboo house by the stream is not steamed, the huge bamboo house is like a steamer, every time the sun is the most vicious, Zhang Youke will walk out of the bamboo house, come to the rhubarb cypress tree, and talk to Yang Sanlao under the shade of the tree, one is to enjoy the cool and relax, and the other is to understand the national affairs.

Out of the bamboo house again, Zhang and Ke walked directly to the yellow cypress tree, this yellow cypress tree is extraordinarily large, more luxuriant than some thousand-year-old banyan trees, it is a place for the villagers to gather on weekdays, but because Zhang and Ke are studying hard here, the villagers are not allowed to come again.

At this moment, under the shade of the tree, Yang Sanlao was still asleep, not paying any attention to Zhang Youke's arrival.

"Huh?"

Screaming softly, Zhang Youke looked around at the shade of the tree, but he didn't see Gao Zhong. In the past, every time I came here, Gao Zhong's would also stand on the side. Now not only is this kid gone, but even his two most beloved lumps are placed next to the back basket, and the small bag on his chest is also put into the back basket.

Zhang Youke curiously picked up the sweet potatoes and potatoes and looked at them, these two lumps of dirt can be said to have never left their bodies, and the baby is tight. After looking at Zhang and Ke, he judged that this thing should be the rhizome of a plant, which he had never seen before.

"Where did the kid go?"

Throwing the two lumps on the ground, Zhang Youke raised his eyes and looked around.

"Maybe this kid has gone to play elsewhere, the baby in the mountains is wild, maybe he went somewhere."

The scholar glanced around, but he didn't find Gao Zhong's shadow, so he speculated.

Zhang Youke smiled, sat down in a good position, and looked at the back basket with some loss.

Yang Sanlao was still sleeping soundly in the shade of the tree, and Zhang Youke had no intention of waking him up, after all, the old man was tired of taking care of him during this time.

Soon the scholar set up a chair under the shade of the tree, boiled a pot of hot water on the side, made a pot of tea for Zhang Youke, and then stood beside Zhang Youke and fanned him.

After sitting for a while, Gao Zhong ran towards the yellow cypress tree with bare feet, and Zhang Youke, who was enjoying the shade of the tree, soon spotted Gao Zhong's figure and took a curious look.

At this time, Gao Zhong's trousers were rolled high, and his feet and body were covered with black mud, and even if he was far away, he could smell the rancid smell. Gao Zhong ran all the way, with a smile on his face, not caring about the filth on his body at all.

What surprised Zhang He the most was that Gao Zhong was holding two or three small fish in his hand and tied them with ropes. There are not only a few fish hanging on this straw rope, but also a few crabs and a few loaches, and it looks like there are still a lot of them, and they are full.

Looking at Gao Zhong's outfit at this time, as well as the small fish in his hand, there is no need to think about it, all these things were caught by Gao Zhong himself in the river.

Soon Gao Zhong came to Zhang Youke's face, grinned at Zhang Youke, and handed the things in his hand to Zhang Youke.

"What is this?"

Zhang Youke was stunned for a moment, put away the folding fan and asked curiously towards Gao Zhong.

With a tilt of his head, Gao Zhong said loudly: "Bundle, bundle!" ā€

"Bundled?" At this time, the scholar understood, and felt that this little baby regarded his own eldest young master as a teacher, and wanted to worship under the door, so he was very dissatisfied and said: "Your doll is sharp-eyed, and the son of the county order is not yet qualified to worship under my eldest young master, not to mention your peasant doll!" ā€

"Hey!"

Zhang Youke glanced at the scholar next to him very dissatisfied, and stopped what he was going to say next.

The scholar was also taken aback when he saw Zhang Youke's expression, and he pouted and retreated.

"Your bunch is just a few small fish, and a few yellow eels, so you sent me away, a Wenqu star?"

Turning to Gao Zhong and smiling, Zhang Youke took a sip of tea before saying slowly.

"Well, nothing else......"

Gao Zhong lowered his head in frustration and said to Zhang Youke with some frustration.

"If it's not enough, I won't accept you as a student."

Zhang Youke chuckled and looked at Gao Zhong with a very playful expression.

At this moment, Yang Sanlao woke up, he heard something in a daze, a student, and after opening his eyes wide, he saw Gao Zhong carrying a few fish, looking at Zhang Youke with some frustration, but Zhang Youke looked at Gao Zhong with a smile and an indifferent expression.

"But that's all I can get, my uncle-in-law won't let me get school, the land at home is thin, the harvest is not good, so I can only catch some fish and shrimp to honor Mr. ......"

Gao Zhong continued.

"You caught all of this yourself?"

Zhang Youke listened and continued to ask.

Zhang Youke has heard a lot about Gao Zhong's affairs recently, and he can only sympathize with such a thing happening in the farmer's family, after all, this is a family affair, and he can only listen to it as an outsider.

"Well, if you catch me in the ditch, no one else can catch me."

Gao Zhong confidently raised his head and said to Zhang Youke.

"It's a pity that I'm in mourning and can't eat meat......"

Zhang Youke's voice changed, and he sighed towards Gao Zhong and said.

Seeing Zhang Youke say this, Gao Zhong lowered his head and pursed his mouth.

"However, you can study with me, but I can't be your husband, do you understand?"

Zhang Youke said slowly towards Gao Zhong.

"I don't understand ......"

Gao Zhong shook his head, but he didn't understand Zhang Youke's words.

If you can study with him, why can't you be a teacher?

"I am determined to study in the past three years, and I will be a lifter in the future. There is no room for wasting time, even when accepting disciples. But every morning I will recite the Four Books and the Five Classics, how much I can learn, how much I can understand, it all depends on your creation, do you understand? ā€

Zhang Youke smiled and said slowly.

Hearing this, Gao Zhong didn't speak, but Yang Sanlao was excited: "Zhong Wazi, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and thank Master Zhang!" ā€

Others don't know the pros and cons of this, but Yang Sanlao does.

Generally speaking, the teaching gentlemen in the southwest are mostly children and talents, and the higher education halls are generally officials who raise people or return home, but whether they are raised or retired, they are all talents in short supply for Fuzhou.

If you worship to study under a lifting door, even if it is just to accompany reading, it is a big deal in Fuzhou.
