Chapter 55: Useless Learning (Revision)

Shen Hao really wanted to have a good quarrel with Old Lady Shen.

But Mrs. Wei didn't say anything in the middle, her mother was so weak that she really couldn't argue in front of her. What's more, the third aunt Mi has only been born for five days, where can she kneel for a long time?

Neuropathy!

I'll clean you up again!

Shen Hao rolled his eyes and looked at Feng.

It's up to you how well you perform.

Behave well, let's get through it; If you don't behave well, I can't clean up the old lady, can't I still bully you?!

Feng also felt ashamed to die.

Seeing that this was a vacancy, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Father-in-law has only returned from a long distance, and he can't help but be tired." There are a lot of things in the family, and Erlang Saburo has to come back from the yamen to pay a careful return.

"The doctor has instructed that the sister-in-law is only afraid that she will have to recuperate for at least half a year before she can hope to get better. The third brother and sister haven't been out of confinement yet. Father-in-law is magnanimous, let them all go back first, right? What do you say, one is still your mother-in-law, and the other is that you still have two sons by your side? ”

Accompanied by a smile and pushed Shen Xi again.

Shen Xi was very happy to see the excitement, but as soon as he thought of talking about it again, maybe Old Lady Shen took advantage of Old Madam Wei's absence and Luo's disheartened heart to take Shen Hairpin back in one go. Then he also stepped forward, raised an innocent smile, stretched out his hand and pulled the placket of Old Lady Shen's clothes, and said coquettishly: "Grandfather, I miss you so much!" Did you miss me? ”

It's still the second family's intimacy.

Hum.

Old lady Shen sat down again, took Shen Xi's hand, reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth, and then waved her hand at Luo Shi and the others like flies: "Okay, okay." It's annoying to look at you! Get out! ”

When he returned his hand, he pinched Shen Xi's tender little face, and a smile floated: "Our sister Xi is the most well-behaved, not as honest as the eldest sister, and not as bad as the second sister!" ”

As he spoke, he raised his head and glared at Shen Hao.

Shen Hao didn't listen to his nonsense at all, so he carefully helped Luo Shi away with Fang Fei.

Bao Tian also hurriedly carried Mi out.

Feng took the opportunity to retire.

Old lady Shen wanted to stay with Shen Xi to play for a while, but was quietly dragged by Aunt Bao's grandmother, so she let go and told Shen Xi kindly: "Let's go back to eat and play." In the evening, we will feed together, and my grandfather will give you a gift. ”

Shen Xi smiled sweetly and said yes, and meticulously saluted Old Lady Shen and said goodbye.

Old lady Shen looked at her posture gradually becoming graceful, very satisfied, and twisted her beard and chin: "This female master has asked for a good teaching." ”

Aunt Bao and Grandma Bao were busy telling her about Mrs. Meng and didn't mention it.

After settling Luo's family, Shen Hao asked the six slaves who were watching the house in Ruru Courtyard: "Is there any news from Grandmother?" ”

The six slaves shook their heads: "The slave was afraid that the old lady would be worried, so she specially asked people to go and see it." It was said that the gate of the courtyard was quiet, and there was no one. ”

Shen Hao frowned: "No one? That's not right. In the morning, there should always be a sprinkler and sweeper, right? ”

The six slaves also reacted inappropriately, biting their fingers, and guessing in horror: "It can't be that the old lady deliberately locked up all the people in the old lady's yard......"

He's got to have that ability, too......

Old lady Shen is a straw bag, and the whole family knows it. If he had this kind of mental means, the second room would have been more than what it is today.

Shen Hao didn't feel like him......

After another moment, Mrs. Meng came.

The master and apprentice used the morning food, cleaned up a little, and went to cook Shiju together.

Shen Xi heard that Mrs. Meng was in class as usual, so she hurriedly ate and came over.

Classes are held in the east room of the main building.

In addition to the bookshelf used by Mrs. Meng as a background board, there are only three shelves and three cushions in the room.

A large ebony is Mrs. Meng's, and there are pen, ink, paper, and inkstones on the table, and there are two stacks of books.

The two small ebony sheets belong to Shen Hao and Shen Xi, only with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Mrs. Meng knelt behind her case and lectured one by one: "...... One hundred and eight squares in Chang'an City, sixty-four monk temples, twenty-seven nun temples, ten Taoist temples, six female temples, two Persian temples, and four Hu Yuan Temples.

"In the early years of the Great Cause of the Sui Dynasty, there were 120 temples of various types in Chang'an.

"The ancestor of this dynasty has a fate: temples and other things can be reduced but not increased. So to this day, it's still that number. ”

Shen Xi rolled his eyes in a hurry, and when Mrs. Meng stopped speaking, he asked, "Sir, what's the use of us learning this?" ”

Answering the stubble in class, Shen Hao has been the first good player since elementary school.

Immediately answered, he said, "Chat." ”

Mrs. Meng looked at the two of them fixedly for a while, and said indifferently: "It's useless." What I teach, it's useless. If you don't learn it, it's up to you. ”

Hey? This is good!

Shen Hao's eyes lit up: "How to define whether knowledge is useful or not?" Do men have to learn what to do with exams? Who will draw the drawings of the Ministry of Engineering? Who will make the equipment for the siege of the army? Who will design the Miyagi where the royal family lives?

"If it is useful, the account book is useful, the abacus is useful, and the weaving and spinning is useful. But where is the need for people to teach? Practice makes perfect.

"I must say it's useless, in fact, the most useless thing is the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, right? So why do we have to learn?

"The most interesting thing in the world is useless learning (Note 1). What I want to learn most is useless learning. Madame, please teach me useless learning. ”

The more Shen Hao spoke, the more energetic he became, and his eyes were as bright as stars on a clear night in June.

Although Mrs. Meng still had no expression, the corners of her eyes that had relaxed clearly expressed her appreciation for Shen Hao's explanation.

Shen Xi only felt-

I want to cry without tears!

What did I say!?

Yes?!

What did I say?

I asked: What is the use of studying the temples and temples in Chang'an City?

Oh, yes!

We are all little ladies who have to hesitate for 30 days when we go out, and we know that there are so many places where we can burn incense and kowtow and have a fart?!

How can just one sentence make the two of them look like confidants in an instant?!

Shen Xi felt that he must have asked a stupid question.

Mrs. Meng went on to talk about Chang'an City: "There are fifteen gates on the outside of Chang'an, because there are five gates in the north, either facing the Daming Palace or the Forbidden Garden, so you can ignore them. Directly south is the Mingde Gate, which is directly opposite the Suzaku Gate of the Imperial City, and the connecting street is Suzaku Street. Suzaku Street is one hundred and seventy-five steps from north to south, and one hundred steps wide from east to west. The east of the street is Wannian County, and the west of the street is Chang'an County. ”

Mrs. Meng paused, "Your mansion is in Chongxianfang, which belongs to Chang'an County. And the noble Chen Guogong Mansion is in Yongle Fang, which belongs to Wannian County. Qingjiang Houfu is in Anyefang, which belongs to the same county as your mansion. ”

Shen Hao was curious: "Where did Madame live before entering the palace?" ”

Mrs. Meng was stunned and lowered her eyes: "I am not from Chang'an City, and I entered the palace directly from Jiangnan." ”

Gangnam?

Shen Xi immediately followed suit: "My Shen family's ancestral hometown is Wuxing, what about my wife?" ”

Mrs. Meng's eyes were fluttering and a little complicated: "My family...... In the area of Suzhou and Hangzhou......"

came back to his senses and smiled: "It's because it's not far away that I agreed to teach the two young ladies." ”

Suzhou and Hangzhou ......

Is it Suzhou or Hangzhou?

These two are not close!

In particular, Wu Xing is in the middle of the two!

Shen Hao looked at Mrs. Meng quietly, and became interested in her origin for the first time.

At this moment, Qing Ming suddenly turned in.

This was the first time she walked in the middle of a lecture without waiting for a call.

"Qiqi two young ladies, the old lady is in Tongxiangyuan, and I told the old lady that I will go to Guihaian tomorrow to pick up the eldest lady back."
