Chapter 216: Weak Scholar
After that, Zhang Qian wanted to find the old Taoist priest who was magical, and then teach this old guy a lesson, so that he could lose money to the pear seller, but unfortunately after a glance, Zhang Qian didn't see any trace of the sloppy old Taoist priest, shook his head, and then turned to leave.
Not long after Zhang Qian left, the sloppy old Taoist priest appeared, looked at Zhang Qian silently, with a hint of surprise and curiosity in his eyes, and then shook his head and turned away. The old Taoist priest seemed to be swaying and leisurely, but when he took one step, the person had already appeared a few meters away, and in the blink of an eye, he had already walked hundreds of meters, and the people around him were not the slightest surprised, as if they had not seen this scene at all. Obviously, this old Taoist priest is a relatively powerful guy.
And Zhang Qian didn't know anything about it. At this time, Zhang Qian would fly to his house again, throwing the books in his hand on the desk, although looking at them was like burning them to ashes, but Zhang Qian knew that if he wanted to complete the task, he had to rely on these things.
The next day, Ning Caichen came to the door again and began to teach Zhang Qian how to read and how to learn the contents of these books.
The reason why Ning Caichen is like this and comes to teach Zhang Qian every day is that on the one hand, Ning Caichen's character is indeed good and he is a good person, and on the other hand, it is because Ning Caichen's family is even poorer. In addition to him, a scholar, there is an elderly mother left, especially his old mother who no longer has much strength to work and make money. Therefore, Ning Caichen wants to study, but it is very difficult to read, and there are not many books at home, so while teaching Zhang Qian, he can also read the following books from Zhang Qian's home. The two aspects add up, so Ning Caichen will be like this.
"Brother Zhang is really a book lover! These books in your house are like brand new. It can be seen how well Brother Zhang has maintained these books! Ning Caichen looked at the brand-new pages and couldn't help but sigh.
Zhang Qian listened to Ning Caichen's words, but the corners of his mouth twitched: "These are new books!" ”
"Well, yes, I understand that these books are for Brother Zhang. It's all new! Ning Caichen was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile.
Zhang Qian pursed his lips, no matter how Ning Caichen misunderstood.
Opening the book, Zhang Qian began to study again. Ning Caichen and Yan Yuese told Zhang Qian about the content of the book, and after telling a paragraph, let Zhang Qian feel it alone, and he picked up another book in Zhang Qian's house, read it carefully, and a happy expression appeared on his face from time to time. Zhang Qian only felt inexplicable about this change in him. Isn't it just a book? It was so hard and uncomfortable to read, Ning Caichen could still laugh, sure enough, this guy was not in his right brain and was a masochist.
Zhang Qian, who doesn't like to read, and doesn't know the mysteries of the book, seems to be a kind of sin, if there is a way, Zhang Qian will definitely not read this kind of book that makes people feel a headache or is drowsy.
A few more days passed. Ning Caichen put down the book in his hand and looked at Zhang Qian: "Brother Zhang! Tomorrow I need to go to the county seat once. I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in a few days! So in the next few days, I'm afraid I won't be able to help Brother Zhang interpret it. ”
"It's okay! I also had two days off! Zhang Qian stretched.
"Hehe, too! Although Brother Zhang has amnesia and has forgotten the content of the book, his foundation is there, his understanding is also high, and his level has improved a lot! However, if Brother Zhang wants to improve some knowledge. Even if you want to get a child, you need to buy more books! It's a pity that these books are expensive...... "Ning Caichen sighed, for people like them who read from poor families, reading is really a very difficult thing. Books and books are limited by the times. It's expensive, and it's simply not something that the average person can afford.
"Aren't these books enough?" Zhang Qian frowned, and faintly began to have a headache again, he seemed to find that if he wanted to take the top prize, it seemed that it was not enough to memorize so many books.
"Of course! It's a pity that you and I are both poor families, and we can't afford to buy any books......" Ning Caichen sighed: "I have already decided, this time I go out, maybe I have to find a job to support the family, my mother is old, I can't let her continue to work so hard." ”
"Alright! Whatever you want! This time I went to the county seat...... I'll go with you! When I got to the county seat, you told me what books I needed to buy! Zhang Qian clapped his hands, and the bitterness between his eyebrows became more and more bitter, this kind of life is simply not a human life, reading or something, it is simply life-threatening.
"You're going to the county seat with me? It's good, it's always easier for the two of us to be companions! It's just that if you buy books, I'm afraid you can't! Books are too expensive......"
"I've saved a lot of money here! More than enough to buy a book or something! Zhang Qian waved his hand to interrupt Ning Caichen's words, just like Zhang Qian said, he still has a lot of silver, all of which he flew to a distant place to borrow from some big dogs, as for the return issue? Then it goes without saying.
When Ning Caichen heard Zhang Qian's words, his face showed a hint of joy, but then his face turned bitter. Although Zhang Qian bought books, he could come to Zhang Qian's house to borrow them, but then he needed to go to the county seat to find a job, and he was afraid that he would not have much time to study.
The next day, Zhang Qian and Ning Caichen set off for the county seat early. This is the first time Zhang Qian has walked to the county seat like this, and he has flown over several times before, and it takes a few minutes to arrive. And walking with Ning Caichen, then the speed will be much slower.
However, Zhang Qian was also tired of reading. Even if it was such a slow walk, Zhang Qian felt that it was much better than reading, so he would rather go to the county seat in this way than quickly travel between the county seats, and then spend the rest of his time studying or something.
Ning Caichen was just a weak scholar, he didn't walk very fast, and he looked very weak, and he didn't sweat for a long time, but he still didn't stop, and his face didn't show any bitterness, and his expression was tough. However, when Ning Caichen looked back at Zhang Qian, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Brother Zhang, your body is exceptionally strong!" After walking so far, I didn't even sweat a little, and I didn't show any tiredness. ”
"Oh, nothing! If you want to be physically strong, of course you don't say it! It's just a pity that this has nothing to do with reading! Zhang Qian pursed his lips and said boringly.
"Hehe......" Ning Caichen smiled dumbly. (To be continued......)
