Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Iron Head and Enlightenment
"What peerless magic skills did you teach him to practice?" Xiao Mu walked over, looked at Hu Yun, who was studying how to relieve Zhao Qi's illness, and asked suspiciously. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Humble and shallow, where can this kind of superior kung fu, this is clearly his own ......" Hu Yun said modestly, trying his best to say that he had nothing to do with Zhao Qi's brain-dead behavior.
Xiao Mu stepped forward again and took a closer look, it turned out that the door panel of this firewood room had been old, and the wood had begun to rot in some places, Zhao Qizhi's head happened to pass through the loosest place of the wood, on the other side of the door, his little head was still shaking, trying to break free, but the position that was stuck was very coincidental, and Zhao Qizhi tried his best to get rid of the confinement of this door panel.
"Yang Tao has already looked for a saw, and you will be able to come out in a while. Don't move yet, if you cut your neck and lose your life, you won't be able to eat anything good tonight. Xiao Mu said half-jokingly to Zhao Qizhi.
It's just that Xiao Mu's persuasion did not achieve the expected effect, Zhao Qizhi seemed to feel that his IQ had been insulted after hearing it, and his martial arts were doubted, but instead of listening to Xiao Mu's advice, he struggled even more violently......
In order to avoid further irritating this crazy teenager, Xiao Mu did not continue to talk nonsense with him, but turned around and asked Xie Lianhui who was watching from the side: "Lianhui, you tell this son, what's going on with him?" ”
Xie Lianhui thought for a while as if he was organizing language, and then whispered: "That's the case, Brother Shi Yao and Brother Abandoned Illness followed Uncle Hu to practice, Uncle Hu asked them to take steps and not move, whoever moves first will lose." At the beginning, it was okay, but after practicing for a while, I didn't want to practice, saying that it was too boring to just stand like this, and it was not majestic at all. Uncle Hu told him, you can't be a general in the future, and he said that what should be said about practicing in winter, practicing in summer, and practicing in summer......
"You said the opposite, what Uncle Hu said was 'practicing Sanjiu in winter, practicing Sanfu in summer'" Xie Lianhui said halfway, and the words were picked up by Li Shiyao, "Uncle Hu said that only by insisting on practice can you have a good time, and after practicing for a long time, it is trivial to break the wooden board with one punch." ”
"And then?" Xiao Mu was also interested when he heard this, urging Li Shiyao to hurry up and continue to speak.
"Then the second brother was not convinced, saying that he could break the wooden board without practicing, and then he used the iron head skill he had created in his dream two days ago to hit the door panel of the firewood room, the second brother's action was too fast, Uncle Hu and I didn't react at all, he hit it head-on, and then the door panel was broken by him, but the head couldn't be pulled out, so it was stuck." Li Shiyao continued.
"You're not right, Uncle Hu didn't say that, what he said was obviously that the door panel is not a wooden board, otherwise I wouldn't have come to hit the door panel, and I wouldn't have been stuck." Zhao Qizhi listened to Li Shiyao's narration on the side, and felt a little unbearable on his face, and said retorted while twisting his buttocks.
"Fortunately, I'm talking about wooden planks, if I say that I can break bricks with practice, this little guy should go and hit his head against the brick wall, I'm afraid I'll lose my life." Hu Yun scolded in his heart, "Also, just a short period of time, first from 'uncle' to 'uncle', and then from 'uncle' to 'uncle', I am only twenty-three years old this year, am I so old?" ”
Hu Yun found out how he felt happy about the little girl Xie Lianhui, and his son in the family would find such a daughter-in-law in the future; As for Zhao Qi's illness, it is how unpleasant it looks at, if he has a daughter in the future, he must be watched, if he lets this little devil take a fancy to him, I am afraid that his life will be ruined.
Wang Jingyuan listened to the descriptions of several children, laughing and shaking his head, while Feng scolded Zhao Qiai, who was still caught by the door panel, and there were also doorways in the process of scolding, for example, "See that the old lady doesn't break your legs" is far less effective than "Don't think about eating tonight".
After a while, Yang Tao came back from borrowing a saw from a neighbor, and was about to step forward to help Zhao Qi open the door panel that was clamped. But before Yang Tao could get closer, Zhao Qizhi had already accumulated his strength, forcibly broke out, broke free from the shackles of the door panel and regained his life, but there were abrasions on his head and neck, and there were residual wood residues on his face.
Sure enough, it's infinitely powerful......
Yang Tao went to return the borrowed saw again, Feng Shi dragged Zhao Qizhi to the next room to spank, Li Shiyao and Xie Lianhui both ran to watch, Xiao Mu and Wang Jingyuan returned to the main hall and chatted.
"I wonder what Brother Wang's plans are in the future?" Xiao Mu asked, in fact, Wang Jingyuan was nearly forty years old at this time, and Xiao Mu's brother Wang took a lot of advantage.
However, Wang Jingyuan didn't think so, what kind of creation and glory is it to be able to call him a brother and a brother today? And how can there be complaints?
Wang Jingyuan replied excitedly: "Originally, I had no intention of becoming famous, and I planned to spend my life as a shopkeeper with peace of mind. Now that I don't have the errand of the shopkeeper, I have nothing to do in recent days, and I have looked through the previous books, and I have the idea of working hard to warm up the book and strive for fame. It's just that now that I'm getting older, my mind is no longer as flexible as when I was young, and I'm much more jerky when I read books. And it is not easy to live in Chang'an, although I have a small amount of savings over the years, I am afraid that I can't afford it. ”
"Hmm...... I think that Jiang Taigong came out of the mountain at the age of eighty, and Lian Po can still fight rice at the age of seventy, open a strong bow, and put on a horse. Brother Wang doesn't have to be too discouraged, just study with peace of mind, who dares to say that there is no time for willows and flowers? Xiao Mu said comfortingly.
In fact, in Xiao Mu's heart, he is not very optimistic that Wang Jingyuan can continue to study and gain fame, after all, Wang Jingyuan did not have a good effect when he was young, but he did a good job as a shopkeeper. Xiao Mu thinks that he is a good economic talent, but in Daming, business is a cheap business, Wang Jingyuan wants to fight again, and it is reasonable to take a reputation and become a scholar.
So Xiao Mu didn't bear to hit Wang Jingyuan's enthusiasm, not to mention that he didn't have any other better plan at the moment, and wanted to sort out the economic theories he learned in college for Wang Jingyuan to learn, but since he had forgotten a lot of this knowledge, he couldn't sort it out for a while, so he could only support Wang Jingyuan's plan first.
"In terms of money, Brother Wang naturally doesn't need to worry, Brother Wang helps me take care of a few children, how can I not be rewarded? In the future, I will give Brother Wang 20 taels of silver every month as their child support, Brother Wang Wenshu, you can also teach them to read by the way, so that they can learn some words is also good, if these children have a future in the future, Brother Wang is even more meritorious! ”
When Wang Jingyuan heard this, where did he use so much money to take care of a few children, he hurriedly excused himself, saying that he didn't dare to accept it.
Xiao Mu saw that Wang Jingyuan refused to accept it, so he had to change his statement: "These children are regarded as the ones I sent to Brother Wang to read and write, and as students, where is there any reason not to pay Mr. Li Shiyao and Zhao Qizhi, two enlightened students, each had ten taels of silver, but Brother Wang felt that the remuneration was a bit low? ”
Wang Jingyuan understood that this was Xiao Mu afraid that he would not accept it because of his good face, so he used this name, and Wang Jingyuan, who understood Xiao Mu's hard work, said again and again, and at the same time said that he would definitely not insult his mission, and he would definitely try his best to teach Li Shiyao them.
"Also, I almost forgot, although Xie Huilian is a girl, she must also read and write like Li Shiyao and them, this is deliberately instructed by the queen before I leave, Brother Wang, don't forget it." Xiao Mu added again.
In the previous sentence, he also thought that he was a pseudonym "Xiao Mu Gongzi", and in the latter sentence, he mentioned the queen, "I" and "I" were mixed, Xiao Mu himself was about to be dizzy, Wang Jingyuan naturally sounded very awkward, but he didn't say it out of politeness.
As Xiao Mu, who has accepted the modern concept of equality between men and women, it is a matter of course for Xie Lianhui to enjoy the same right to read and write, but he was worried that Wang Jingyuan, as a person of the Ming Dynasty, would not be able to understand, so he had to move out the name of Lin Yi again - the rich officials and eunuchs all paid a lot of money to ask Mr. to teach their daughters to read, and Lin Ye, who was the queen's mother, asked a gentleman to read and write for a pleasing little girl, which was of course beyond reproach.
In this way, he can give Wang Jingyuan an extra ten taels of silver every month in the name of remuneration, which is simply killing two birds with one stone.
Talking about this, Yang Tao also returned the saw and came back, and whispered in Xiao Mu's ear: "Master, it's not too early, why don't we go back first today, it's too late to go back, if there is a mess in the palace, it will be difficult to clean up." ”
Xiao Mu thought that it was indeed not a short time to come out, so he said to Wang Jingyuan: "It's not too early, I won't continue to bother, if Brother Wang has any difficulties in the capital, just come to me." ”
Xiao Mu immediately thought that he was in the palace, and even if Wang Jingyuan encountered difficulties, he would definitely not be able to find him, so he added: "If Brother Wang has any troubles, you can go to Yang Tao and Hu Yun, they will naturally help you, they can't be the master, they will naturally tell me, I will be the master for you." ”
"You Jinyiwei also sent some people here to take care of them from time to time, if Brother Wang and his wife and a few children have a mistake, I will not spare it!" Xiao Mu instructed Yang Tao again, "Also, just take care of it quietly, don't disturb the people in a big way, otherwise Brother Wang and the neighbors will not be able to meet." Xiao Mu, who had been taught a lesson by the "Jesus Christ" incident, took the trouble to say to Yang Tao.
"Don't worry, master, I will arrange it immediately when I go back." Yang Tao patted his chest and reassured again and again.
Xiao Mu came out of the house, said goodbye to the Feng family, and instructed Li Shiyao to follow Wang Jingyuan to study hard, and he would have an examination in the future.
He also told Zhao Qizhi not to bully Xie Lianhui, and if he didn't read as well as Xie Lianhui, he would be punished, etc. After saying this, he left Wang Jingyuan's house and set off to return to the palace......
was walking in the alley, Xiao Mu heard a sound of footsteps behind him, and when he looked back, it was Zhao Qiyi who ran towards him.
"Anything else?" Xiao Mu asked.
"When Childe came, I already had a big advantage, if Childe hadn't stopped me, I would have been able to defeat Big Brother right away." Zhao Qizhi said mysteriously.
