Chapter 29: The Coming Tribulation (I)
Zheng Yanqing didn't notice that he ignored a very important thing, that is, the dignity and humility among the gate lord clan.
Zheng Hongyi called him brother, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
But I don't want to, I will violate a bottom line of the world and put myself in an embarrassment.
For the family gatekeepers, the house slave is just their appendage, a lowly person. Zheng Yanqing, as a mere domestic slave, can An be called Zheng Hongyi's 'brother'? This is simply a great rebellion, and it can be said to be a capital crime.
Even if he taught Zheng Hongyi to be effective, a domestic slave is always a domestic slave, and he cannot cross that dividing line.
It's just that Yan Qing was busy with the trivial things around him, and he didn't realize that he was about to face a crisis that was almost catastrophic.
He was still busy writing his "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and with the help of Li Ji, he had successfully completed the chapter of Meng De's dedication to the sword, and began to prepare the story of Dong Zhuo's entry into Beijing and the battle of the three heroes of the Tiger Prison against Lu Bu...... I don't know if I don't write a book, but it will be so difficult to write a novel. Even if Zheng Yanqing already has a belly case, it is still extremely hard to write. Fortunately, with Li Ji on the side, Zheng Yanqing saved a lot of trouble when writing.
Zheng Yanqing always felt that Li Ji's concern for him seemed to have surpassed the ordinary teacher-student relationship.
What is the reason?
Yan Qing couldn't guess, but he understood that Li Ji was really good to him.
While the other students were still studying Wucang, Yan Qing had already crossed the enlightenment stage and began to study simple scriptures and history. Generally speaking, classics such as the Four Books and the Five Classics can only be accessed after formal schooling. In the village school, that is, to complete the enlightenment education, and then learn some basic common sense to make a living, after the age of 14, if the grades are good, will be recommended by the village school, and then enter the government school to receive education.
Zheng Yanqing is only six years old, and now he is starting to study scripture and history, and if he is in the family, he will already be famous all over the world.
But he can't, even if he studies scripture and history, he has to be sneaky. In front of everyone, there is no place where the character can be revealed.
"Yanqing, did you fight with someone a few days ago?"
Zheng Yanqing was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered the fight with Dou Xiaowen earlier, so he nodded and said: "The student is reckless, I did have a fight with someone a few days ago. ”
"Oh, that's no wonder."
Li Ji smiled: "Two days ago, the gentleman of Zhongshe asked me about your origin, saying that you beat one of his students...... You don't have to worry, that student has always been stubborn, and the gentleman in the middle house has a lot of headaches for him. After you beat him up, the kid was much more honest. In the previous paragraph, he asked his husband about the allusion of Cao Di's polemic. ”
Zheng Yanqing said: "Is Mr. talking about Dou Xiaowen? ”
"That's him!"
Li Ji's eyes showed a slight look of surprise, and he said softly: "But I don't know, you even know about Cao Di's polemic?" ”
"Students only know a little bit about it.
My eldest lord is good at reading the Spring and Autumn Period, and when I used to serve the eldest lord in Anyuan Hall, I had heard him recite it a few times, so I had some impressions. Dou Xiaowen was taught that day, and the students were also angry, so they couldn't help but teach a few words and cause trouble to the teacher. ”
"No trouble, no trouble!"
Li Ji laughed, rubbed Zheng Yanqing's head and said: "People are very happy to teach talents, you can have this ability, never forget it, and apply what you have learned, I am too late to be happy." You don't know, when the gentleman from the middle house talked to me about this, he was still surprised. I said that you are from the Zheng family, and he is very envious.
You child, very good...... It's just that sometimes, it's too serious, as if it's older than me. ”
Zheng Yanqing was shocked and looked at Li Ji.
"Look at you, your joy and anger are invisible, and you are a good man. When I was your age, I don't know how happy I would have been if Mr. praised me. But what about you, I can't even tell whether you're happy or unhappy.
If you're older, your surname isn't bad.
But you're just a child now, laugh when you should laugh, cry when you should cry, don't take things to heart, it's not good after all. ”
Zheng Yanqing hurriedly bowed down and replied: "The student has been taught!" ”
"That's it, I just told you, and you're like this again."
Li Ji said, put away the handouts on the bookcase, and handed them to Zheng Yanqing.
"I'm going to visit the elders tonight, so I won't talk to you. You pack this thing up and take it back with you to figure it out.
By the way, how many novels have you written? ”
"There are nearly 10,000 words."
"Go back and show me, if there is nothing that needs to be changed, just let it out and spread it and create some momentum."
"Ahh
Zheng Yanqing was a little caught off guard.
According to his thoughts, this Romance of the Three Kingdoms must be written before Lu Bu can be sent out, after all, it is a **. But Li Ji asked him to send it out now, and he still wants to build momentum? He wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
Forget it, since Li Ji still has revisions, it is not a matter of a while and a half, and it should allow him to finish the current chapter. Thinking of this, Zheng Yanqing nodded in agreement, put away the handouts, saluted Li Ji again, and exited the room.
As for which elder Lee Ki went to visit?
Zheng Yanqing was not interested.
There are many celebrities in Luoyang City, but Yan Qingda has never heard of the name. People who want to come to visit Li Ji, he doesn't necessarily know, and it's the same whether he asks or not. So, he went back to the classroom to clean up before returning to the Grange.
Back at the Grange, it was still early.
Zheng Yanqing unexpectedly met an acquaintance at the door of his home.
"Hachi, why are you here?"
When Mao Xiaoba saw Zheng Yanqing, his expression was a little panicked, and he hurriedly said, "I'm here to find Steward Zheng...... The housekeeper was not there, so I went back first. ”
In recent days, Cheng Sai On has indeed not been at the Grange very often.
He often went to Tianjin Bridge to watch the situation on the side of the sledgehammer.
Since Zheng Yanqing designed the pattern of scissors and asked Xiongda'an to create a hundred first, Zheng Shi'an has been interested.
He didn't believe that this little gadget could change the status quo in Tianjin Bridge, but there was still some hope in it. He knew that Zheng Yanqing was very smart and had already given him many surprises. Now this little scissors, can it bring him another surprise? Zheng Sai On is actually looking forward to it. Therefore, he was particularly bothered about this matter.
Zheng Yanqing didn't notice that Xiao Ba's expression was abnormal, so he said: "Grandpa may have gone to the city, Starling, if you have something, you can tell me, and when grandpa comes back, I will tell him." ”
"Oh...... No, it's not a big deal.
If you don't wait for Steward Zheng to come back, I'll come back and report...... Yanqing, have you just gotten out of school? Have you eaten? ”
Zheng Yanqing smiled: "Not yet, let's wait for grandpa to come back and eat together." ”
"Then, I still have something to do at home, so I'll leave first."
Mao Xiaoba left in a hurry, and Zheng Yanqing didn't stay.
He didn't have much contact with Mao Xiaoba, and after coming to the Grange, he started to go to school, and he didn't have much friendship.
This little eight, why are you panicking today?
Zheng Yanqing shook his head, pushed open the firewood door, and went back to the room.
Mao Xiaoba hurriedly came to the outside of the grange, walked into a sparse forest, and saw two people, waiting anxiously.
"Hachi, has the matter been done?"
The man who spoke, about forty years old, was the steward of the grange and Mao Xiaoba's brother-in-law.
Beside him, there was a young man, who was Cui Daolin's only son, Cui Sheng.
Mao Xiaoba's face flushed, and he said in a trembling voice: "It's done." ”
"Where do you put the stuff?"
"It's placed on the shelf in Zheng Yanqing's room, counting the second grid from the bottom."
Cui Sheng's face suddenly bloomed with a bright smile.
He nodded again and again and said, "Steward Lu, well done...... Hehe, after this matter is done, Steward Lu becomes the steward of the Grange, and he can wait, congratulations, congratulations! ”
"It's all up to Steward Cui, and the little old man is willing to serve Steward Cui and serve the dogs and horses."
Steward Lu leaned over with a smile on his face.
He was originally the steward of the grange, and more than 100 families up and down the grange had to live by looking at his face. But since Zheng Shi'an came, Steward Lu's status has declined significantly. Even if Zheng Shi'an is not trusted by Zheng Renji, he is a person from An Yuantang after all, but from this surname, he has already distinguished the superior, and the power of Steward Lu is naturally weaker and weaker.
Whether you can turn over or not depends on this time!
Steward Lu secretly made a decision in his heart, and said with a smile: "Young Master Cui, when will you do it?" ”
"Well, you don't have to worry about it, just do what you have to do, don't show your flaws."
"Little Lao'er understands, little Lao'er understands."
Cui Sheng looked arrogant, "Since that's the case, I'll go back and report the news." Remember, don't show a flaw. ”
Steward Lu nodded and sent Cui Sheng away.
As for Mao Xiaoba, he didn't care. Hachi stood in the forest, his heart up and down. After Cui Sheng and the two left, he looked around and took out a cloth bag from his arms. Swallowing his saliva, he turned around and ran out of the sparse forest. There is still a shift in the early morning of ————————————————————————————!! The new week has begun, and the old and new ones have a miserable recommendation, so I have to rely on my brothers and sisters, support them more, and let the old and new stay in front of the new book list for a little longer. Three shifts a day next week, please!
