"What is he doing here?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"Looks like it's an apprentice." The servant accompanied him and bowed down to reply, with a strange look on his face, looking like he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh: "He...... Brought some dried meat. ”

"Dried meat?" Zhang Cheng almost laughed out loud, who else brought dried meat to apprentice this year. Zhang Zhao listened, but showed a rare smile: "It's not easy for this kid to know some ancient rites." Heir, you go and greet him for me. ”

Zhang Cheng was very surprised, except for Sun Quan, the guests who came to Zhang's house, Zhang Zhao has never greeted him, and the Gong family is no exception. Besides, Sun Shao's situation is too special, the Zhang family is unlucky enough now, and if you hook up with him, can you still have a good relationship? He didn't get up, but hesitated: "Father, Sun Shao's identity is special, it doesn't seem appropriate to do this." ”

"What's wrong?" Zhang Zhao glared at him and sank his face: "Not to mention that his father called me my middle father when he rebelled against the general, just said that he came to apprentice with Gu Li, I should go to greet him." In these years, there are not many people who know how to respect teachers. ”

Zhang Cheng couldn't cry or laugh, Zhang Zhao's words were obviously angry, but fortunately, it was at home, if it was heard by outsiders and reached Sun Quan's ears, it would make Sun Quan unhappy again. He didn't dare to persuade him anymore, for fear that Zhang Zhao would say something even more ugly, so he hurriedly got up and went out. As soon as he went out, he saw Sun Shao standing respectfully outside the door with his hands crossed, and the entourage behind him was holding a bundle of dried meat tied together.

"Sun Jun." Zhang Cheng stepped forward and saluted: "My father is waiting for me, please come with me." ”

"Your Excellency is Uncle Zhang Shi?" Sun Shao smiled sincerely, and followed suit. Zhang Cheng's eyebrows jumped, and he hurriedly excused himself: "Sun Jun, you are a prince, I can't afford to be called like this." ”

Sun Shao said with a smile as he walked: "Back then, my father called Zhang Gong the middle father, and he was naturally a friend of Zhang Jun's peers, although I was unfortunate in life and never accepted the teachings of my father, but I didn't dare to forget this." ”

Zhang Zhao, who was sitting in the hall, heard Sun Shao's words clearly, was in a very comfortable mood, and said loudly: "I have not changed my father's way for three years, which can be described as filial piety." ”

Sun Shao hurriedly stepped forward, put on a full posture, opened his hands, and went up the steps with his big sleeves fluttering, then took off his shoes, knelt down at the table, and respectfully bowed according to the ancient etiquette of Zhang Wenjiao. "Sun Shao, Wujun who is not a post-student, visited Zhang Gong, and implored Zhang Gong not to be suspicious of his qualifications, to include his subordinates, to listen to the teachings, and to study in virtue."

Zhang Zhao looked at Sun Shao, who was looking at each other, and couldn't help but show a satisfied smile: "Hurry up, hurry up, you kid, where did you learn this Gu Li'er?" This style really has a bit of flavor. ”

Sun Shao got up and bowed again: "Don't dare to hide from Zhang Gong, I just learned from Zhang Wen, if there is something wrong, please correct Zhang Gong." ”

Zhang Zhao said "oh", Zhang Wen's father Zhang Yun was a colleague with him back then, he knew Zhang Wen as a person, knew that he was a talented man, since he taught him, it would make sense. He looked at Sun Shao and asked, "What books have you read?" ”

"I've read some of the Analects, the Book of Filial Piety."

"Since you've read the Analects, can you explain a thing or two?" Zhang Zhao put away his smile, sat upright solemnly, and made a posture ready to question Sun Shao. Sun Shao heard Zhang Wen say that before apprenticeship, the general teacher will check your academic background, if the foundation is too poor, or think you are too stupid, you may not accept it, seeing Zhang Zhao's posture, it is inevitable to be a little nervous. Fortunately, his foundation in the Analects is really good, and he later asked Zhang Wen for advice, so he should be able to cope with it.

"Please ask Zhang Gong to ask questions."

Zhang Zhao saw that Sun Shao was confident, but he was not polite, and asked: "Zi said, my way is consistent." What is this? ”

Sun Shao replied: "It's just loyalty." ”

Zhang Zhao asked: "But what is the benevolent one?" ”

"Be loyal to the king, forgive people's mistakes, and be almost benevolent."

"What is benevolence?"

"The benevolent love others."

The two asked and answered, and in a few moments they refuted each other with the content of the Analects. Sun Shao's Analects is almost backwards, coupled with the careful guidance of the bridge, and after Zhang Wen's pointing, it can be regarded as quite attainmented, Zhang Zhao's question he almost opened his mouth, and then Zhang Zhao deliberately asked a few difficult questions, he only hesitated, and then answered.

Zhang Zhao was very satisfied, and looked at him with a little more appreciation, he stroked his thick beard and said: "Although you are late for learning, but fortunately, you have a solid foundation, although there are still unsatisfactory points, it is also rare." If you want to worship me as a teacher, what do you want to learn? ”

Sun Shao breathed a sigh of relief and replied with a smile: "Mr. Wen Shuo is not only good at the Analects, but also good at Zuo Chuanchun, the disciple is not talented, and he wants to learn Zuo Chuanchun." ”

Zhang Zhao nodded, but said with some embarrassment: "Since you have the heart to learn, I should have taught you, but the military situation is urgent, and the Supreme will soon be stationed in the barracks. ”

Sun Shao bowed and said: "Mr. has something, the disciple should obey his work, but the military camp is heavy, and it is indeed not for idlers to enter." The disciple wants to ask Mr. to teach a chapter, and the disciple will review it by himself, and when Mr. is done, he will come and ask for benefits. ”

Zhang Zhao blinked, shook his head again, and said, "Self-study? Is it feasible? ”

Sun Shao said with a smile: "Don't hide it, sir, the disciple thinks that for scholars, you should first work hard, first read the chapters and sentences, figure them out day and night, and then have some incomprehension, and then ask for advice, in order to really get the benefits, the so-called book read a hundred times, and its meaning is self-evident." It is the courage of the disciple, and I want to ask Mr. to give the chapters and sentences, and after the disciple is rough, I will come to Mr. Lao to solve the doubts. ”

Zhang Zhao smiled, there are many people who want to study, but there are only a few people like Sun Shao who are willing to work stupidly. He was also a little curious, wanting to see how well Sun Shao could read the chapters and sentences, and motioned to Zhang Cheng to take a roll of bamboo slips and hand it to Sun Shao: "This is the first volume of chapters and sentences, you take it and read it first, if there is anything unclear, you can come and ask Zhong Hei." ”

Sun Shao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed down to take it.

Zhang Zhao paused, and then said, "Do you have words?" ”

Sun Shao shook his head and smiled embarrassedly: "The disciple has not yet performed the crown salute, and there is no word." ”

Zhang Zhao stroked his beard and thought for a while, and said, "Since you entered my door, I will give you the word first, which can be regarded as a meeting gift for you." As for the crown ceremony, when this battle is over, I will ask the Supreme to bow for you. When the country is employing people, it is time for you to come out and do something. ”

Sun Shao was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed down: "Mr. Xie." ”

Zhang Zhao pulled a piece of bamboo slips, wrote two words on it, and then handed it to Sun Shao, Sun Shao took a look, and saw that the word "Fengxian" was written on it, and felt a little familiar, but he didn't think much about it, so he thanked him. After a while, I thought about it, I'll, Fengxian, isn't this Lu Bu's words, why did Lao Zhang use it for me? Although Fengxian and Shao do correspond, but Lu Fengxian's anti-bone boy is dead, does Lao Zhang want me to rebel and kill Sun Quan?

Sun Shao muttered in his heart, Zhang Cheng also felt very inappropriate, and after Sun Shao sent a gift to return, he asked impatiently: "Father, you just give him a word, why do you want to use such a word?" When the Supreme heard it, I'm afraid he would have an idea. ”

"Any thoughts?" Zhang Zhao's eyes widened, and Zhang Cheng was not allowed to refute, and then said: "You don't know, Sun Shao is an official." ”

"Being an official? How can it be? Zhang Cheng blurted out. It is no secret that Sun Quan suppressed Sun Shao, and Zhang Cheng knew it clearly. He really didn't know about Sun Shao's official appointment yesterday, but now when he heard Zhang Zhaoyi, he intuitively felt that Zhang Zhao was wrong.

"Just yesterday, the Supreme awarded Sun Shaoguan, the captain." Zhang Zhaoruo glanced at Zhang Cheng meaningfully, and then said: "Zhang Wen has also become an official, Cheng." ”

"This ......" Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment, he looked at Zhang Zhao's serious face, and suddenly felt a chill.
