Chapter 113: Just Say I'm Dead
They are all children of nobles who have read books and are well-educated, why can't they recite ninety-nine songs?
Because the direction of reading is different.
If Buck'er takes the test of their son Shiyun, these powerful children will generally answer fluently, but arithmetic is actually not valued at all in Datang, except for people who are particularly interested, basically no one will learn it.
Jiujiu Song originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and has been passed down to the present day because there are specialized arithmetic talents who wrote books, engraved bamboo slips, and used among the people.
Ironically, many folk craftsmen will recite a few words of Jiujiu Song when building houses and things, because this thing can be used in production and construction, but the children of the aristocratic class do not produce, so few people know about it.
Being stumped by a question from a five-year-old child is a great shame for these princes and the children of the powerful.
And the question raised by this five-year-old child has actually heard of it, although the "Ninety-Nine Song" is not widely circulated among readers, but after all, the name is still heard, and the meaning is probably understood, and even a few of them can recite a few sentences.
But Buckwheat said that she wanted them to recite it in its entirety, this ...... Hard.
From the perspective of aristocratic children, arithmetic is very useless, and useless things are not learned, so no one can memorize the simplest and most basic nine-nine songs in arithmetic.
Buck'er didn't actually think about embarrassing them, but just had a kind of intention to show off his authority, let the children in Zhuangzi see the demeanor of Mr. Xiao, and let them see how Mr. Xiao had academic exchanges with the children of the powerful.
Especially when communicating, he is neither humble nor arrogant and generous, such a little gentleman, do you love it?
It's just that Mr. Xiao didn't expect that they couldn't even memorize the most basic ninety-nine songs.
I have to say that from the perspective of arithmetic alone, these princes and the children of the powerful are really inferior to buckwheat.
Li Qinzai has already started training Buckwheat to memorize the ninety-nine songs, and after a few days, Buckbuck's ninety-nine songs are well memorized and know it well, so Buckwheat has the confidence to mention this issue today.
Seeing the ugly faces of the children of the powerful and looking at each other, Buck's eyes widened: "Won't it?" No way? Won't there be anyone who can't even memorize the ninety-nine songs, right? ”
The prince who loves to sing the opposite tone stepped forward, clenched his fists and said angrily: "Little guy, don't go too far! ”
The prince at the head hurriedly grabbed him, his face became serious, and he said in a low voice: "The imperial brother must not be reckless, he is the son of Li Qinzai, how did the father explain to us when he came?" ”
The prince who was about to do it held back his anger.
Buckwheat stood calmly in front of them, but a group of children in the village behind them cheered.
Buckwheat was more mature in the end, but she didn't laugh or mock, but the smug look on her little face was still difficult to hide.
The guests were silent with blue faces, and the children in the Zhuangzi clapped their hands and said that the demons were dancing, this scene was like grabbing the red child of Tang Seng, waiting for the monkey to jump out and burn him a handful of three-flavor real fire.
The prince squatted down and said with a smile: "We used to read the scriptures and history, and we really haven't memorized the ninety-nine songs, can you memorize them?" ”
Buckwheat said proudly: "Of course I will carry it." ”
Then without waiting for the prince to speak, Buckwheat put her hands behind her back and memorized them word by word.
"One is as one, one is as two, two as two, two is as four......"
Back to ninety-nine eighty-one, sure enough, there was no mistake, buckwheat puffed up her chest, and looked proud that she had already mastered the truth of the world.
The prince smiled bitterly and turned his head to look at the powerful children behind him.
The faces of the people were stunned.
Buck Er blinked: "You can't even memorize the ninety-nine songs, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it if my father asks the question, right?" ”
"Is it difficult for Ling Zun to come up with a question?"
Buck's face wrinkled: "It's difficult, I can't even understand it." What chickens and rabbits are in the same cage, what is driving at a constant speed, and he also said that he will learn gravity and calculus in the future...... Have you heard of any of this? ”
Everyone became more and more embarrassed and speechless, a five-year-old child, a few words shattered their arrogance.
Not only have they never heard of these topics that Buckwheat said, but with their IQ, they are not even worthy of listening to them.
At this time, everyone also understood why the Son of Heaven selected a group of people from the prince and many powerful children to study from Li Qinzai, and repeatedly told everyone to pay tribute to Li Qinzai's disciples, be respectful in their words, and be cautious in their actions.
Why? Because of Li Qinzai's mastery of knowledge.
Everyone didn't know how profound this knowledge was, so they still had a look of arrogance when they entered the village.
No one wants to leave the bustling Chang'an and come to this poor countryside where birds don't lay eggs, but the Son of Heaven has a will, and everyone has to obey.
Until this moment, a five-year-old child stopped them at the entrance of the village and asked them the simplest questions, and not only that, but a lot of knowledge came out of the child's mouth that he could not understand.
These incomprehensible knowledge still frustrated and devastated them. The arrogance at the entrance of the village disappeared unconsciously.
The princes and the children of the powerful were well-educated people, and they could look down on people, but they were not allowed to look down on learning.
The prince headed by the prince bowed to Buckwheat in a dignified manner, and said solemnly: "Li Sujie apologized to Xiaolangjun, can I break my promise for what happened just now?" At this moment, we really want to visit Lingzun. ”
The people behind him also shook their heads, and the prince who loved to sing the opposite tone snorted lightly and bowed unwillingly.
With so many people saluting, Buckwheat suddenly found the feeling of a little gentleman again, and her little face became serious.
"You guys are like this, it's very difficult for me to do it......" Buck'er held the shelf, her original appearance was very similar to Li Qinzai, but at this moment, this expression and demeanor were almost as if Li Qinzai had printed them in a mold, but it was reduced by a few sizes.
"Ask Xiao Langjun to introduce you, we ...... Well, okay for giving you money? A lot of money. Li Sujie took out a delicate money bag from his arms, and stuffed two small pieces of broken silver into Buck's hand.
Buckwheat is still young and has no concept of money, but she also knows that it is a good thing.
decisively stuffed the money into her arms, Buck Er turned around and ran away, looked at Li Sujie and the others from afar, and said innocently: "Are you stupid?" I'm just a child, how can I stop you from seeing my father? ”
Li Sujie and the others were shocked when they heard this, and after thinking about it carefully, this is really the case, we came by order, and we couldn't see Li Qinzai, and Li Qinzai didn't dare not see them.
Therefore, the person who pleaded for mercy and gave money just now was blocked by a five-year-old child at the entrance of the village and almost returned to Chang'an, why?
Buckwheat giggled from afar, and everyone immediately gritted their teeth.
"This little bastard really has the charm of his father...... a powerful kid said angrily, Li Qinzai's reputation is clear to everyone, but he didn't expect such a young son to be a bastard.
…………
Entering the village, along the road to find the most luxurious courtyard in the Zhuangzi, Li Sujie and others dismounted in front of the courtyard and handed over a letter of worship to see Li Qinzai.
Li Qinzai is rubbing mud pills in the backyard garden, yes, it's so innocent.
The mud pill is for buckwheat, the child is still young, not only study, but also have fun, otherwise when he grows up, he will recall his childhood, all of which are books and knowledge, and that kind of memory is not enough to support adults through the difficult trough period.
The mud balls are kneaded into a number of small round balls, and it is not enough to rub them well, so the small round balls should be sent to the pottery kiln for firing, and after being made into pottery balls and polished, it is a new toy.
How many holes do you dig in the ground and experience the joy of playing marbles as a child?
After hundreds of mud pills were kneaded, Li Qinzai stood up and beat the old waist, and then Steward Song hurriedly came to tell the fifth young man that there were guests outside who asked to see him.
Lee Qinzai's reaction was the same as that of Buckeye, and the first feeling that came to mind was rejection and boredom.
Neither father nor son were hospitable people.
"Who is it? Does my family have an inn? Cats and dogs from the south to the north all ran to my house, but they didn't see me! Li Qinzai said impatiently.
Steward Song said embarrassedly: "It's not okay for the five young ladies not to be afraid, they said that they were in accordance with the will of the Son of Heaven, and the leader seems to be a prince......"
Li Qinzai was taken aback, and the prince was ordered......
Thinking of Li Zhi and telling him on the day he left, if there were guests coming in a few days, he would have to bother more.
Li Qinzai suddenly understood something.
This is special, the cow doesn't drink water and presses its head.
He didn't want to go to Guozijian to teach, so Li Zhi asked the students to find it by themselves? Do people who are emperors still need a little decency?
"Steward Song, you go out and tell them, just say that Li Qinzai died suddenly last night, the body is still fresh and steaming, and the house is preparing for a funeral, go ahead, look sad when you speak, it's best to squeeze a few tears......"
Steward Song said with an ugly face: "Fifth young man,...... Don't make a fuss! ”
