Chapter 8: Temptation of Words

At the time of the lamplight, Zhang Forget had a full meal in the kitchen, and returned to the small courtyard where he borrowed under the eyes of the fat cook. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The servant couldn't see Zhang Forget bullying his little master like this, so he secretly went to report to Yang Xiu again.

Yang Li has always disliked his nephew's proud temperament, and when he saw that someone could hold him and ask him to do something that was both elegant and conducive to increasing his knowledge, such as copying books, he laughed at it.

Zhang Forget cleaned his bed, placed Douzi to sleep, and then led Yang Xiu to the study, added lamp oil, and prepared to let Yang Xiu continue to copy the book.

Yang Xiu said angrily: "Sir, I'm tired of copying books today, can I come back tomorrow?" ”

Zhang Forget frowned, you have never taken the college entrance examination, do you know what it means to be tired?

He was afraid that he would make noise to the sleeping beans, so he pulled Yang Xiu into the courtyard, frowned and looked at him, and the words he said were still so mean: "People can only be brave when they know shame, why can't I see such a good quality in you?" ”

Yang Xiu was really annoyed: "What shame should I have? ”

Zhang Forget sighed and asked, "Two of the twenty-four oil lamps have been blown out, how many oil lamps are left?" ”

"Of course it's twenty-two, such a simple calculation, can't you and I calculate it?"

Yang Xiu rolled his eyes, and said in his heart that he was also a well-known prodigy, are you insulting my IQ by asking such a simple arithmetic problem?

Zhang Forget smiled: "What? An oil lamp blown out is not an oil lamp? ”

Yang Xiu was stunned for a moment, only then did he know that Zhang Forget had set him up again, and he blamed himself for being restless, so he let him take advantage of such a loophole.

"There are no heroes in the world, so the shaft becomes famous."

Zhang Forget sighed, ignoring Yang Xiu's ugly face, and asked: "You don't understand the common sense of life, then I'll test your military things." Of the eleven soldiers, five could only be scouts, four could only be archers, and the other two could be scouts and archers. Now out of eleven people, four people are selected as scouts and four people as archers, how many different ways are there in total?"

Yang Xiu had a long memory this time, first to see if there were traps set in the question, and found that there were no traps, so he started to calculate.

But after a calculation, I found that my fingers were not enough at all.

This question seems simple, but the more you do the math, the more difficult it becomes. I have been calculating in my brain for a long time, and I found that there are more than a dozen different options, and further down, there are different options, but my brain is a mess, and I can't count it anymore.

Zhang Wanghaha laughed: "It's just one hundred and fifteen kinds, do you want to tell me the result until dawn?" Your grandfather, as a lieutenant, would not have been relieved if he knew that his grandson didn't even know how to distribute eleven soldiers. ”

Permutations and combinations, in later generations, I don't know how many students will be tortured to the death of Yuxian Yu, the arithmetic of the Eastern Han Dynasty is simple, and it is impossible to calculate such a complex thing with the mind.

Yang Xiu was humiliated repeatedly, ashamed and annoyed. I want to leave it here, and I refuse to admit defeat to this hateful guy. But if he doesn't leave, I don't know what kind of topics he will come up with to make things difficult for himself and say what ugly things he will say.

Zhang Forget really refused to let him go, and continued: "You don't understand the common sense of life, and you don't know the art of military war, then I will test you again for a topic in agriculture." In a side-by-side ten-ridge field, choose two ridges to plant millet and millet crops respectively, each planting one ridge, in order to facilitate the growth of crops, the interval between millet and millet crops is required to be not less than six ridges, how many kinds of different selection methods are there? ”

After Yang Xiu listened to the question, he suddenly became angry.

Is this called an agronomy question? This is the same as that military problem, the essence is an arithmetic problem, is it good? Are you really stupid?

He looked down and thought for a long time, and his face became more and more ugly: sure enough, it still won't.

Zhang Forget looked at his deflated expression, and said proudly: "I ask you something, you can't do anything, isn't it shameful enough?" Shouldn't you be ashamed and courageous? ”

Yang Xiu raised his head and said unconvinced: "I'm still young, and I don't know much about arithmetic, so it's not a shame to know it." ”

"Oh, not much in arithmetic. Okay, let's take the test somewhere else. ”

Zhang Forget smiled, intending to give Yang Xiu a lesson that he would never forget, so as to help him develop the quality of humility and plant the seeds of awe and admiration for himself in his heart.

"As the ancients said, the sky is round and the earth is round. Let me ask you, how round is the sky? "It's astronomy.

“……”

"As the ancients said, the sky is high and the earth is thick. Let me ask you, how thick is the ground? "It's geographical.

“……”

"Taoism has 36 caves of heaven and 72 blessed lands, which 36 caves of heaven and which 72 blessed lands?" This is metaphysics.

“……”

"Broken cauldron and sinking boat, one hundred and two Qin Guan belongs to Chu after all, you come to the next link." This is literature.

“……”

"When is the bright moon, ask the wine to Qingtian, may I ask the heavenly palace, what year is it tonight?" It's a joke for you.

Yang Xiu was dizzy when he heard this, and couldn't help jumping up at this time: "Sir, this question is too much, is it the Heavenly Palace, what year is it tonight, do you know?" ”

Zhang Forget smiled slightly: "I know." "I said casually, can you still tell if what I say is right or wrong?

"Then let me ask you, how round do you say the sky is?"

"The circumference is 78,500 miles."

"How thick is the ground?"

"Average thickness, 34 miles."

"Thirty-six Cave Heavens, which Thirty-six Cave Heavens?"

"The First Huolin Cave Heaven, the Second Pengxuan Cave Heaven, the Third Zhuling Cave Heaven, and the Fourth Immortal Forest Cave Heaven ......"

"Broken cauldron and sinking boat, one hundred and two Qin Guan belongs to Chu after all, you come to the next link."

"Lie down and taste the gall, three thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu."

"Heavenly Palace, what year is it tonight?"

"A.D. 2016."

Yang Xiu grabbed his hair bun with his hand, feeling that he was about to go crazy, because he didn't know whether Zhang Wang's answer was right or wrong. It's that couplet, and it's quite neat.

Seeing Zhang Forget looking at him with a contemptuous expression, Yang Xiu retorted unconvinced: "Although you have read a lot of miscellaneous books, you are broad but not precise. You can memorize the subset of scriptures and history, but you may not have me who has studied deeply, do you dare to compare with me the ancient scriptures? ”

No longer passively beaten, knowing that he had fought back and made progress, Zhang Forget nodded with relief.

However, you think that I can only memorize the subset of scriptures and history, so I must not understand the essence of it, then you are very wrong, because there is a book called "Notes on the Four Books", which specializes in analyzing the essence of the four books.

The Annotations on the Four Books is the most concise, popular, and authoritative textbook for Zhu Xi to reshape the image of Confucius and Mencius, give full play to the Confucian spirit, and propagate the morality of science, and its status is almost equal to that of the Bible in Europe and the United States and the Quran in Arab countries.

Zhang Wang sat up straight and stimulated Yang Xiu seriously: "If it turns out that the attainments of the subset of scriptures and history, I am also deeper than you, what should you do?" ”

"From now on at your disposal."

Yang Xiu was not stupid, and made a categorical promise. for he was left to his own devices, and was not free. This sentence is nothing more than a fait accompli into a verbal contract.

Zhang Wang didn't mind him playing tricks at all, and nodded: "A word is a certainty." ”

From now on? Hahahaha, after all, it's still a child, and it's not rigorous at all, do you know how many years you can live?

Wang Yue came to visit Zhang Wang after dinner, and by the way, he came to get the vinegar recipe, because he was embarrassed to come to the door alone, so he asked Yang Li, the owner of the Yang house, to come together. The two of them stood in the doorway, watching everything that happened in the courtyard.

Yang Li nodded slightly at Zhang Wang, who had discovered them, but stood there and did not speak. He also wanted to see if Zhang Wang, in addition to being able to endorse, was really talented.

Finally had a chance to fight back, Xiao Yang Xiu was a little excited, and thought for a moment before saying: "Zi said: Three hundred poems, in a word, it is said that 'thinking is innocent'." What is the meaning of this sentence? ”

Zhang Forget was not afraid of him at all, and when he saw such a sentence, he began to answer without thinking: "There are three hundred and eleven poems, and those who say three hundred words can cite a large number." Cover, Jugai also. Thinking innocently, Lu Song's words. In the words of poetry, the good can inspire people's good hearts, and the evil ones can punish people's easy will, and their use is only to make people get the righteousness of their temperament. However, his words are tactful, and each of them is caused by one thing, and he asks it to point directly to the whole, and there is no such thing as this. Therefore, the master said 300 poems, and only this one word is enough to cover its meaning, and its meaning is also profound. ”

Yang Xiu opened his mouth wide, and his eyes widened as he listened to Zhang Wang's eloquent conversation.

Big brother, why don't you make a thinking look and then say the answer? You explain the scriptures in such detail so casually that it makes you wonder if you are human.

Yang Li squinted his eyes at the courtyard gate, and his eyes were full of admiration when he looked at Zhang Wang. Even if he has studied the scriptures and history for many years, it is impossible for him to explain this sentence more clearly than Zhang Wang.

Wang Yue didn't read much, and he stood there completely blind and looked at flowers, not knowing why. However, his lack of understanding of scriptures and history does not prevent him from observing words and feelings. He only looked at the expressions of Yang Xiu and Yang Li, and he could guess that Zhang Wang's words were extremely wonderful.

Yang Xiu swallowed his saliva, refused to admit defeat, thought for a while, and said: "Those who know each other and know themselves will not be defeated in a hundred battles." Why? ”

Zhang Wangxiao smiled: "With my government, the government of the enemy, with my general, with the enemy's general, with my people, with the enemy's people, with my food, with the enemy's food, with my land, with the enemy's land, the enemy's land, the school's quantity has been determined, the advantages and disadvantages are short, all of them are seer." Then the army rose, so there was a hundred battles and a hundred victories. Meng Shi said: Knowing the strength and weakness of one's own interests, although there are a hundred battles, there is no danger. ”

Yang Xiu was completely dumbfounded when he heard him say it without breathing.

The simpler it is, the more language is needed if you want to understand it in simple terms.

Yang Xiu deliberately came up with a simple sentence, just to see how much insight Zhang Forget could say, and to extend this simple sentence to the depth of the esoteric.

And Zhang Forget obviously disappointed him again, his explanation of knowing himself and knowing the other just now was simple and penetrating, and every word was fine, so that people couldn't find fault at all.

It seems that he not only memorized the books, but also studied them thoroughly.

has a face that is more handsome than himself, and a talent that he can't catch up with himself, such a person hasn't been struck by lightning yet? What about the jealous talents?

Yang Li walked into the courtyard and said to his nephew, who had an extremely ugly face: "With the guidance of this good teacher, what more can the husband ask for, and I haven't thanked Mr. ”

Yang Xiu was convinced, but emotionally unacceptable. What about being talented, they always bully me. Bad people are talented, which is not a good thing for the people of this world.

Under the stern gaze of his uncle Yang Li, he reluctantly saluted Zhang Wang, and then left with his uncle, and the hard days of this day finally came to an end.

Wang Yue got the coveted vinegar recipe, gave a deep salute, and left in a hurry. He didn't care what kind of talent Zhang Forgot had, he just wanted to find someone as soon as possible to see if this vinegar recipe was real.

Beanzi lay on the windowsill, looking at the scene in the yard, his eyes were shining, full of pride.

She returned to the bed, closed her eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

She had a hunch that she would have a beautiful dream tonight.
