Chapter 9 Borrowing Books?
Gongsun Wuming was looking at Xue Zha helplessly.
It was only the next day that he remembered a crucial question:
Is Xue Zhe literate?
Thinking of this, he hurriedly went to verify, and finally got the answer that was almost the same as he imagined.
Recognize some words
It's right to think about it. Xue Zha has been a beggar since he was a child, and he has no chance to read and write.
It's just that a lot of things have to be delayed. If you don't read, you can't read, and if you don't read, you won't be able to qualify for enrollment in half a year, and you won't be able to enter the college for further study!
Gongsun Wuming was a great teacher and a great dean. But he never taught anyone to read.
He didn't know where to teach, so he directly found a few books on enlightenment and literacy from his collection and asked Xue Zha to study and study by himself. If you encounter something you don't understand, write it down, and then ask him.
Fortunately, Xue Zha has a bit of a foundation, coupled with hard work, he has made rapid progress.
Xue Zha first asked three questions a day, and after three days, it became one question a day. A month later, Xue Zha barely needed to ask.
Of course, this refers to words that you don't know, not to understand the content.
Xue Zha did this so quickly, even Gongsun Wuming was shocked, thinking that he had met a genius!
It only takes a month to be literate, not to mention that there is no one who will come after, but it is finally unprecedented.
In this way, Xue Zha can have more time to learn the relevant basic knowledge of the five departments.
And Xue Zha also developed a strong interest in reading. In addition to eating, he spent almost all day in Gongsun's nameless library.
On this day, Gongsun went to the academy without a name, and Xue Zha was alone in the library to read.
Gongsun Nameless Library Pavilion is a collection of thousands of books, and there are not thousands of volumes stored in a large space. And it's really all-encompassing, with all kinds of books.
However, Xue Zha has been reading some simple books, after all, he has not been literate for too long, and he still can't understand some esoteric content.
Suddenly, the door of the library opened with a creak, and Xue Zha looked for prestige, and a figure walked in, followed by a slightly shorter figure.
This is the nameless residence of Gongsun, and ordinary people dare not trespass. And looking at the way this person is familiar with the road, he is very familiar with this place, and he must come here often.
Xue Zha didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ran down from the attic. There was a rattling sound as you descended the stairs.
The visitor didn't go straight in after entering the door, as if he knew that there was someone here.
It wasn't until Xue Zha walked to the door that he noticed the two comers.
Standing in front was a tall, handsome young man, dressed in a moon-white Confucian robe. He had jet-black hair, and his bright eyes showed a ray of essence from time to time. There was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Before Xue Zha came to him, he felt a strong smell of books and ink coming to him.
As for the person who was slightly behind, he didn't look very old, and he was only a little taller than Xue Zha. It seems that it should be a junior student of the academy.
It's just that this classmate doesn't seem to be very happy, and the source seems to be Xue Zha, because at this time he is staring at Xue Zha with an unkind face, and his eyes are full of incomprehension, disdain, dissatisfaction and other emotions.
Xue Zhe's heart was also full of doubts at this time, he didn't remember knowing such a person, let alone offended.
This has always been the nameless residence of Gongsun, and Xue Zha is also half the master, so he took the initiative to ask
"Who are you, and what is the matter with coming here?"
Xue Zha's tone had been as soft as possible, but it still caused that person's dissatisfaction.
He snorted softly and whispered in his mouth
"What kind of thing are you, you dare to bark here!
Fortunately, his voice was relatively low and Xue Zha was far away, so he only heard him talking, but he didn't know the content.
However, the young man who was closer could hear it clearly, and he did not speak, but only showed a serious look at the man.
The man glared at Xue Zha stupidly and lowered his head.
The young man then said with a smile
"My name is Chu Linfeng, and I am a student in the first class of Tianzi, and his name is Du Xiaoqi, and I am studying in the third class of Hongzi in the department. You are Xue Zhe, the dean brought back recently. I've heard the Dean mention you. We are here today for one thing. Du Xiaoqi's results are good, and I believe that he will be able to pass the test in the near future, and he will soon be upgraded to the Zhouzi class. In addition, he is relatively studious and wants to learn some knowledge of the Zeu character class, so he wants to borrow some books from the Zeu character class. Unfortunately, the books from the college's library department were borrowed. Du Xiaoqi came down to me helplessly, I thought that the dean's library has a lot of books, and there should be books in this area, so today I mentioned this matter to the dean, and the dean asked me to take Du Xiaoqi over and take the books away. ”
Xue Zha nodded when he heard this. Stared at Chu Linfeng with interest for a while.
He has not yet enrolled in school, and he does not know the true meaning of the four words of Tianzi Class 1. But Xue Zha heard Gongsun Wuming talk about the academy's promotion system, and knew that the Tianzi level was the highest grade in the entire academy, so he became interested in Chu Linfeng.
Chu Linfeng seemed to be accustomed to others looking at him with their eyes, and instead of being impatient, he showed a smile.
But Du Xiaoqi beside him doesn't have such a good temper.
Chu Linfeng is a god-like existence among the students of Yanhui Academy, not only because of his handsome appearance, modest attitude and approachable temperament, but also because of his strong strength!
Even the teachers of the academy were polite and polite when they met him.
Chu Linfeng is not only a student, but also a teacher. He is the class guide of the third class of Hongzi in Du Xiaoqi's department!
Therefore, he is very famous among his classmates, and his classmates are very respectful.
This is also why he can make Du Xiaoqi obedient with just one look.
But I didn't expect to meet a boy who didn't know the sky and the earth today, and he actually looked at Chu Linfeng with a scrutinizing gaze!
Is it tolerable or unbearable!
Du Xiaoqi immediately stopped doing it, he pointed at Xue Qi and shouted
"How dare you be so rude to Teacher Chu?!"
Xue Zha was stunned.
Why is he rude, and didn't he say that he was a student, and why did he become a teacher in his mouth again?
Chu Linfeng was surprised that his student was so abnormal today, and he usually didn't see him so aggressive towards other classmates, why did he have such a bad attitude towards Xue Zhe?
However, he saw the confusion and embarrassment in Xue Zha's eyes, and as a senior, he was a class teacher, so he took the initiative to explain and was relieved.
"If you don't mind, you can call me a senior!"
It stands to reason that Xue Zha can't be called a senior if he hasn't entered the academy to study, but Chu Linfeng wants to do things informally, and this kind of trivial matter can be completely ignored. And because he believed that Xue Zha would enter the academy sooner or later, it would not be a big deal to call it so in advance.
Of course, Xue Zha gladly accepted Chu Linfeng's kindness and shouted "Senior Chu"
Chu Linfeng nodded with a smile, and at the same time admonished Du Xiaoqi beside him
"I'm here to borrow books for you today, not to quarrel! This is the dean's private library, and you will be allowed to borrow books out of care for your classmates. If you make such a fuss again, I will respond to the dean and deprive you of this right!
Chu Linfeng unconsciously used the tone of the class guide when he spoke, and Du Xiaoqi's breathing was stagnant. He lowered his head and glanced at Xue Zha unwillingly, and finally had to "hear"
Chu Linfeng nodded with satisfaction, Du Xiaoqi He was still more optimistic, otherwise he would not have interceded with the dean for him and used the dean's library pavilion.
"The books of the Zeus-level are placed near the fourth bookshelf on the left-hand side of the second floor, you can go up and find them yourself! Be careful not to damage the other books! These are the dean's treasures!"
Ken could realize that his tone was heavier before, so at the end of the conversation, Chu Linfeng brought a little ridiculous tone.
Du Xiaoqi responded obediently and went up to the attic by himself.
Xue Zha was still wondering why Chu Linfeng didn't go up with him, and saw that he skillfully found a place to sit cross-legged. Then he patted his side and motioned for Xue Zha to sit over.
Xue Zha was naturally as good as a stream, and after sitting down, Chu Linfeng asked sideways
"Do you like to read?"
His tone was very casual, as if the two people who spoke had known each other for a long time.
Xue Zha was slightly distracted, and quickly replied truthfully
"Yes, I think reading is a very happy thing!"
Chu Linfeng smiled when he heard this, and nodded in agreement
"I can't help but feel a little ashamed to see you so studious!"
"Senior Chu is so modest, you don't know how many more books you read than me. From the fact that the senior is so familiar with Grandpa's library, you know that you must have read a lot before!"
Chu Linfeng's eyes lit up.
From one small clue one can see what is coming!
You can speculate from the details, it seems that there is something peculiar about this son!
Chu Linfeng did often come here to read books before, and his relationship with Gongsun Wuming was extraordinary, so he could be said to be his personal disciple!
Otherwise, how could Gongsun Wuming agree to allow others to enter his library to borrow books?!
Chu Linfeng had already learned about Xue Zha's existence from the dean's mouth. And the teachers in the academy almost spread, and the dean brought back a little boy to call him grandpa!
From the first time he saw Xue Zha, he treated it with an attitude of seniors considering juniors. It's just that he's hiding it well.
So far, everything Xue Zha's reaction has been very good, especially his attitude towards reading has made Chu Linfeng appreciate.
In the conversation with Xue Zha, he learned that it only took more than a month from literacy to reading by himself, and Chu Linfeng was even more interested in him.
"I didn't expect you to be a language genius! It seems that you must be from my department!"
Chu Linfeng said in a joking tone
Gongsun Wuming had expressed surprise earlier, and Xue Zha knew that he might indeed have a talent for this. But at this time, he still quickly shook his head
"I was just lucky. Grandpa's library has helped me a lot! And I'm not sure about the entrance test this time, so I don't know if I can make it!"
Chu Linfeng smiled
"Let me say something pertinent, with your qualifications, you will definitely be able to enter the academy, so as long as you keep your current determination, you will definitely be able to do it!"
Xue Zhe's mood eased a lot after hearing this.
Although he is a child, the pressure on his heart is not small.
He was just a little beggar brought back from outside by Gongsun Nameless, with no identity and no status, and suddenly became the grandson of the dean. This is a great good thing for himself, and it is a pie on the spread.
But for others, they think that he has gone through shit luck, and what he gets will not be a blessing, but may be jealousy and exclusion.
Du Xiaoqi's performance just now is the best proof.
A little beggar who came out of nowhere was able to enjoy the dean's private library, and it was no wonder that he was not envious, jealous and hateful!
Others will look at Xue Zha with a fastidious attitude and observe his words and deeds.
Therefore, Xue Zha can't fail in this entrance test!
Otherwise, not only will I be sorry for Gongsun Wuming's expectations and concerns, but it will also provoke ridicule and ridicule from others.
However, Chu Linfeng didn't seem to be among the people who were jealous of Xue Zha, but was more optimistic and supportive of Xue Zha. The words just now were also for Xue Zha's encouragement.
Xue Zha suddenly became a little closer to Chu Linfeng
"Senior Chu, I want to ask, what is this entrance test?"
Xue Zha thought about this question for a long time, and Gongsun Wuming did not elaborate on the content of the entrance test, but only said that it was a comprehensive basic knowledge. However, this scope is too wide, and Xue Zha does not have a clear concept in his heart.
Today, I happened to meet Chu Linfeng, he is a student of the first class of Tianzi, and he is the top existence among the students of the academy. Presumably he will give himself a good answer.
