Chapter 38: That Moment Was Picturesque
In the morning, Wu Jian hurried to the south of the city. He carried a burden on his body, which contained bundles of salted meat, red beans, red dates, etc., and a jar of fine wine.
For today's enrollment, Wu Gen specially asked for leave, anyway, he has no more than one horse washing model, and no less than one.
Although it was a hasty enrollment, the etiquette should not be missing. Wu Gan didn't know how many shops he had smashed open last night before he could prepare these things.
Walking to the huge white archway in the south of the city, Wu Qian stopped, which is the dividing line into the south of the city. On the archway, carved with "Beichen Yide" four big characters, the font is strong, such as a thousand jun.
Standing under the torii, I faintly felt that someone was looking at me. Wu Gen didn't care, with Mr. Zhu as a guarantee, there should be no big problem for him to enter the south of the city.
Through the mist drifting from the waterfall, Inspector Wu looked in. In the ethereal, Zhu Buzhan's figure appeared in the mist. Seeing Wu Gan, who was wet with moisture, he nodded slightly: "Come with me." ”
If you enter the south of the city, if no one is introduced, you will be beaten out. Don't look at the silence on the streets, who knows what is hidden in the shadows.
Walking on the bluestone paved road, there are high doors on both sides, and the beautifully carved doors are paired, showing the dignity of the owner.
Near the Drum Mountain, a waterfront courtyard appeared at the foot of the mountain.
Walking into the courtyard, there is no shadow wall at the door, but a pavilion is erected, with three big characters on it: "Listening to the Wind Pavilion". There is a couplet below, and the book "Spring runs green, the holy righteousness is passed down from generation to generation, why not do the three products, the spring breeze here is full of Dingyuan".
The sound of Langlang's reading came, like chime and jade, and the tone was frustrated.
Wu Yan was a little embarrassed, he originally thought that he had gotten up early in the morning, but he didn't want anyone to be here early.
"Although you are older, you are only talking about before and after entering school, and these Mengtong are all your senior brothers." Zhu Buzhan stretched out his hand and pointed to more than a dozen children in the room and said.
These children stared at Wu Yan with wide eyes, unscrupulously and chattering. A few naughty ones squeezed their eyebrows and grimaced at Wu Gan.
Wu Gan, who has always been cheeky, blushed a little, looked at Zhu Buzhan who was smiling and staring at him without saying a word, gritted his teeth and said, "Hello senior brothers and sisters." ”
The children burst into a crisp laugh, "Hello junior brother, good brother ......"
After a chaotic sound, Zhu Buzhan clapped his hands lightly and quieted down. "This is your new classmate, everyone should get along with each other on weekdays, and you are not allowed to bully new classmates."
"Got it." The children replied in a long voice, laughing.
Pointing to the tables and chairs in the last row, Zhu Buzhan said, "You can sit here." Putting down the things on his body, Wu Yan sat down in a proper manner. I touched the smooth tabletop, and there was always something unreal in my heart.
For the first time, students are nothing more than "Xiaoya", "Kindergarten Collection" and so on, focusing on literacy and practicing Yizhou Yayan. Wu Gen was no exception, drawing circles with the heads of a group of classmates who were much younger than himself, reciting the words of the book that day.
Zhu Buzhan is extremely patient in teaching, and every word explains the origin of the sage's man-made words, which contains great righteousness. In case of difficulties, they are carefully interpreted, no matter which student they are, they are treated equally.
In this way, Wu Gen began to go to school on a single day and report to the school governor's mansion on two days. When he asked for leave, the person in charge of Fa Cao heard this, his face was a little strange, and he agreed without asking, so that Wu Gan prepared a bunch of reasons that were useless.
Every morning, Zhu Buzhan had to go to the archway and pick up some children. Wu Gen also found that not all of these children lived in the southern part of the city, there were children of nobles and descendants. Without him, those children would never have been able to enter.
From time to time, a nobleman wearing a silver crown passed by, looking quite polite to Zhu Buzhan, but the disdain in his eyes was obvious. According to the rules of Zhao State, nobles can wear gold, silver and jade crowns, but most of the places in the south of the city are inferior nobles, so there are more silver crowns.
Wu Gen also asked Zhu Buzhan if he would not attract resentment if he brought many children other than nobles into it, why didn't he run the school elsewhere.
Zhu Buzhan just patted him lightly on the shoulder and sighed lightly, "Everything is ugly and good, and each has a posture." There is only one thing to learn, only to learn and not to learn. In our vein, we pay attention to education without class, and in today's world, it is naturally easy to be slandered. It's just that someone has to change the way of this world, and it's better to do more than not to do it. Speaking of this, his face was a little bitter.
"As for why you don't move out of here, do you want these hairpins, the children of nobles, to go to school where the Chinese people live? If this is the case, this person with a silver crown will have a lot of troubles behind his back, and he will not even be able to learn. Under the majestic general trend, it is always necessary to borrow strength to move forward.
Moreover, these children of the three grades gathered together with each other, and although it was inevitable that there would be some estrangement after a long time, they finally saw that there was no difference between each other, and it was also a seed planted in their hearts. ”
Wu Gen is a person with a clear heart in the end, and he understands Zhu Buzhan's difficulties. Think about it, you are a nobleman, you don't teach your own children, but support those lowly people, don't you feel unfair, many means, even if you don't move, those middle-aged people still dare to send their children to the school.
The school is set up here to facilitate the children of the nobles to study. Even if some people can't get used to seeing what Zhu Buzhan does, they have to pinch their noses and endure it.
In this way, Wu Gen admired Zhu Buzhan, and on weekdays, because he was the oldest in a group of children, he took the initiative to undertake some affairs in the school, and even trivial matters such as going to the toilet had to be greeted by Wu Gen one by one.
Children like to play with their own big people the most, and Wu Gan, a cheap junior brother, has a pleasing face, so he gets along quite well with a group of senior brothers and sisters.
After a long time, as soon as there was a break between classes, four or five children hung on Wu Gan's body, pestering him to ask this and that. Even if it is hard, Wu Gen is also happy to do it. When there is nothing to do, Wu Gen is like a big goose, leading a small goose to wander around in the south of the city.
On the way, I met those nobles who were playing, and they were quite accommodating to these noisy children, and at most laughed and scolded a few scoundrels. In addition, during this time, Wu Gen was like a different person, polite, and behaved, but he didn't cause any trouble, and he didn't even block too much from entering and exiting the archway.
After more than half a month of enrollment, Zhu Buzhan left Wu Gen behind on this day, and said frankly that the school was closed on the second day, and he wanted to help move some things. This matter is indispensable, going to a private school is to be bound, and he once gave Zhu Buzhan some silver, but he flatly refused.
The next day, Wu Gen came to the school early, and Zhu Buzhan said apologetically, he still needs to wait for some time. Wu Yan found that Mr. Zhu, who was calm and unfazed on weekdays, was a little uneasy today, and got up from time to time to listen to the movements outside the hospital.
Until the third pole of the sun, the sound of carriages and horses came from outside the door. When Zhu Buzhan heard this, Huo Ran got up and strode out of the house, and when he came to the door, he slowed down his steps again, and walked out slowly with square steps behind his hands.
Wu Jian wondered in his heart, who made Mr. Zhu so out of shape today.
When I walked out the door, I saw a somewhat modest carriage parked at the door. The driver of the car was an old woman, who was holding a copper smoke pot and sitting in front of the car and smoking a dry cigarette.
The curtain of the carriage was gently lifted, and a delicate and white slender hand was stretched out. Under the sun, the green tendons on the hands are faintly visible, like jade carvings.
Immediately afterwards, a girl with a beautiful appearance and a plain face appeared in front of Wu Gan's eyes. The girl was dressed in a long skirt with red lips and teeth, her skin was as clear as jade, and there was a faint breath of book between her eyebrows.
The beauty of the girl, just like the clear waves, not like the peony, no longer the gloom of the golden cinnamon, has its own elegance and refinement, and the opening and closing of the volume shows innocence.
At that moment, Wu Gan's heart paused for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, the school hall with black tiles and white walls suddenly brightened.
Seeing Zhu Buzhan, the girl embroidered and coquettish, and gave a gift, "Daddy is fine." ”
Zhu Buzhan's face was full of love, "It's been hard all the way, but it's safe on the road." ”
The girl's willow eyebrows were crooked, and her face was full of smiles, "Let Daddy bother, everything is fine." He turned his head and glanced at Wu Gan, and stopped talking.
Zhu Buzhan coughed, "Wu Gan, this is a little girl's shallow painting, and she has been living at home all the time, so I just took it." ”
Wu Yan woke up from sleepwalking, and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "I've seen the girl with a light painting." Zhu Qian's cheekband was slightly dizzy, and he returned a salute.
"This is my new student, Wu Gan, I bother you to move the things in the car back to the house, it's hard work."
Wu Yan agreed, and moved the boxes in the car into the courtyard one by one with the old woman, and distributed them to each room according to Zhu Buzhan's instructions.
After settling down, Wu Gen learned that Zhu Qianhua was Zhu Buzhan's only daughter, and this time she had traveled thousands of miles to defect, which made the school more popular.
Zhu Qian painted to Dingyuan City, and naturally became a senior sister, in addition to housework every day, sometimes she would help Zhu Buzhan teach students and correct the homework of Wu Qian and others.
The girl is delicate, and as long as there is something wrong, she will point it out carefully. Every time Wu Gan's notebook is densely packed with Juanxiu's corrected handwriting.
After class on this day, Wu Yan was walking on the way home, and suddenly remembered that his school captain's mansion waist card had fallen in the school, and hurriedly turned back.
Pushing open the courtyard gate, there was silence in the courtyard. Walking into the house, Wu Yan rummaged in his seat for a while, but there was nothing, thinking that he should have been taken away by Zhu Qianhua.
Anxious, he turned around and walked towards the side room, which was where Zhu Qianhua lived.
Gently walked to the front of the house, and through the half-open window, I saw Zhu Qianhua correcting homework.
Zhu Qianhua sat upright at the table, concentrating on the homework in front of him. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on his face, and even the delicate fur around his ears was dyed a layer of crimson.
With a hint of a smile on the corner of the girl's mouth, she gently lifted the gauze sleeve of her right arm with her left hand, revealing a crystal like jade arm. It must have been a student's clumsy homework that amused her, and she was hesitating about how to put pen to paper.
Wu Yan raised his hand several times and wanted to knock on the door, but he was afraid of disturbing the other party, so he could only stand in front of the window and wait.
Finally, Zhu Qianhua found Wu Qian, his face was slightly surprised, and he suddenly realized, "The junior brother came back because of this." As he spoke, he pointed to a waist card on the table.
"Oh, exactly." Wu Yan woke up suddenly, hurriedly lowered his head and stepped forward, accidentally, his foot tripped on the root of the peach tree in the courtyard, and fell in front of the window with a thud.
Zhu Qianhua hurriedly got up and looked out the window. I didn't think that Wu Yan stood up in a panic, and the heads of the two happened to collide together.
"Oops." Zhu Qianhua covered his head and snorted softly, with tears hidden in his painful eyes.
Wu Yan reached out and grabbed the sign, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He bowed backwards and apologized, and when he didn't want to turn back, he happened to bump into the peach tree in the courtyard, and the leaves fell one after another.
"Flutter." Zhu Qianhua was amused, realized the rudeness, and quickly covered his mouth, and asked with a smile: "Senior brother, there is something wrong." ”
"It's okay, it's okay." Wu Gen's nose was hit and nosebleeds, so he wiped it in a panic, turned around and rushed to the courtyard gate.
When he got out of the courtyard, he let out a sigh of relief and slapped himself in the mouth, "It's not good." ”
"Boy, don't make up your minds, control your own thoughts. Otherwise, the old woman is good at breaking bones, so you want to try. A gloomy voice sounded behind him.
Wu Qian was excited, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was the old woman who was driving the car, leaning against the corner of the wall and smoking a cigarette bag and pot. His eyes are cold, like looking at an enemy.
With a weak heart, Wu Yan raised his hand and gave a salute, but he didn't reply for the first time, covered his nose and turned to leave.
