Chapter Twenty-Three: The Death of the Father (I)
Wang Tong is not from Luoyang, he has no fixed residence in Luoyang, since he promised to teach the eldest grandson girl for half a year, he naturally lived in the general's mansion, before entering the mansion, Wang Tong and the eldest grandson Sheng's father and daughter agreed on three chapters, and only taught two hours of lessons to the eldest grandson girl every day, and the rest of the time belonged to him, and no one was allowed to interfere at will.
In the face of Wang Tong such a great Confucian, willing to stay in his house to teach his daughter for half a year, Changsun Sheng was already very excited in his heart, naturally he would not disallow, the two sides quickly reached an agreement, Wang Tong said that he still has some trivial matters to deal with, and then enter the house in three days, Changsun Sheng left with his daughter, and went home to prepare a yard for Wang Tong.
"Brother Wang, thank you." After the eldest Sun Sheng left, Gao Shilian hugged his fists and bowed to Wang Tong, others don't know Wang Tong's character, but Gao Shilian, who has known Wang Tong for many years, knows it very well, this person seems to be peaceful, but in fact he is very proud in his bones.
He is willing to teach publicly in Bainiuxi, his hometown, imitating the sages and sages who have taught without class, that is, as long as you really want to learn knowledge, no matter who you are or what your background is, you can come to listen to my classes, but he has never really accepted disciples, and he has never asked people who have listened to his classes to regard themselves as teachers.
"Brother Gao doesn't have to thank me, your niece is not an idle person, she is so steady and dignified at a young age, and at the same time she is flexible and changeable, her beautiful appearance reveals her natural majesty, her temperament is kind and modest, this woman will be noble in the future, as long as Brother Gao treats your niece wholeheartedly, it is not impossible to become famous in the annals of history, speaking of which, it is also fate to be able to teach such a child." Wang Tong didn't accept his salute, he took a few steps aside, avoided Gao Shilian's thanks, and stroked his beard and smiled.
Wang Tong's words were very breezy and calm, but in Gao Shilian's ears, a thunderbolt sounded in the air, which exploded his eardrums buzzing, and the excessive shock made him even care about etiquette, he raised his head in horror, looked at Wang Tong in a daze, his lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't spit out a word.
Others may not understand the meaning of Wang's call, but Gao Shilian and Wang Tong have been friends for many years, how can they not know that this person in addition to Shentong Confucius and Meng Confucianism, Zhou Yi Five Elements, Bagua Numerology He has dabbled, with Guanyin's current background What status is it indescribable? You must know that your niece has married Erlangjun of the Tang family not long ago, and now the Great Sui Dynasty is a prosperous era of Qingming no matter how you look at it.....
Gao Shilian is also a wonderful person, after he heard Wang Tong's call, he didn't immediately think that his niece might break off the marriage with Li Jiaerlang, so as to climb the royal family or something......
"Don't say, don't say, brother, you are not a layman, you should know many things when the time comes, you shouldn't ask more, when the time comes, you don't need others to explain, you will naturally understand, brother Gao only needs to be true to yourself now." Wang Tong looked at his shocked appearance, but didn't explain anything, only smiled and shook his head, Gao Shilian ......
Don't say Gao Shilian's thoughts, but said that after Changsun Sheng took his daughter back to the house, he immediately informed his wife of the good news, and then personally arranged a quiet and elegant courtyard for Wang Tong, three days later, Wang Tong lived in the general's mansion, and the eldest grandson girl officially began to study with Wang Tong, she got up before dawn every day, got up to brush her teeth and wash her face, and then calcined her body, and then practiced the words for half an hour, and then had breakfast in her own yard, and when the time came, she went to Wang Tong's courtyard to listen to the teacher's teaching.
Wang Tong to Luoyang was purely accidental, he traveled around, is to see more about the customs and life in the world, combined with the history of the book, to compile a book that can really reflect this era, he lived in the general's mansion, except for the time to teach the eldest grandson girl, the rest of the time is either in the desk or in the sorting out of the information accumulated along the way.
In the first month or so, the eldest grandson girl was not familiar with her own teacher, and she was too embarrassed to disturb him, and after the master and apprentice got acquainted, the eldest grandson girl looked at the paper materials that were often scattered all over the place in his study, and couldn't help but cautiously said: "Teacher, do you have anything here that Erniang can help with, if you can get started, if there is a ......?"
"Huh? If you have this heart, spend an hour every day to help me sort out these materials one by one according to different types of time. Wang Tong heard the words of the eldest grandson girl, first stunned, then raised his eyes and looked at the girl, and then thought about her performance in studying with himself for more than a month, and then spoke.
The eldest grandson girl got the teacher's approval, very happy, after listening to the class every day, according to the teacher's requirements, he needs the information one by one to sort out, when she started to do this job, Wang Tong is still a little uneasy, although this little girl is brilliant, but is only a six-year-old girl, the information in her hands is not only more, but also quite complicated and chaotic, she can really do this?
But soon Wang Tong found that he was more worried, the little girl's steady intelligence is not only manifested in her getting along with others, but also in the real way of doing things, many information after she sorted out, and then it is much more convenient and faster than before, the tacit understanding between the master and apprentice in the process of getting along has deepened, and the relationship has become deeper and deeper, and most of the time has passed in a blink of an eye.
When Wang Tong entered the mansion, it was the beginning of November of the third year of the Great Cause, and on the eighth day of the ninth month of the fourth year of the Great Cause, Wang Tong said after teaching the eldest grandson girl: "Erniang, today is my last day to teach you, and I understand that I am leaving Luoyang.....
"Teacher, ...... you" The eldest grandson girl was shocked when she heard this, and quickly raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes were filled with tears, and the eldest grandson girl had already been impressed by her teacher's profound knowledge and character, and respected him very much.
"Silly girl, there is a banquet in the world, I only planned to teach you for half a year, but you girl is really smart, unconsciously stayed in Luoyang for a few more months, I still have a lot of things to deal with, I can't stay in Luoyang for a long time, it's really time to go, with your smart mind, the future achievements will surely bless countless people, our master-apprentice feelings, each other can be clear in their hearts, externally, you don't have to call yourself my student......" Seeing this, Wang Tong couldn't help but reach out and gently stroked her head.
After Wang Tong left, the eldest grandson girl is still slacking off every day, in addition to reading and learning words, archery and horseback riding are also picked up by her, the busy days always pass very fast, in a blink of an eye it is nearly a year has passed, the fifth year of the great cause, the eldest grandson girl's stable and peaceful life was suddenly broken.
The eldest grandson Sheng, who has always been healthy, suddenly fell ill, at first it was just a cough and a slight fever, but soon he was too sick to get out of bed, the family invited all the famous doctors in Luoyang, and the emperor in the palace also sent the imperial doctor over, but there was no improvement, the eldest grandson girl looked at the skinny and dying father on the hospital bed, and her heart was filled with endless sadness......
