Chapter 8 "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl"
Passing through the world of Yitian, he didn't live in the palace compound or restaurant inn, but first set up a nest in the bandit village.
In the bandit cottage, he taught Zhou Zhiruo to read and write every day, took the pulse of Zhang Wuji's physical examination, studied the cold poison in his body, talked about metaphysics and martial arts with Zhang Sanfeng, and then did some research experiments.
On this day, the sound of Lang Lang's reading came from a large house in the cottage, which was originally a place for bandits to meet, and was used as a classroom by Xu Qian at this time.
Looking into the house, I saw Xu Qian standing in front of a simple blackboard with a short stick in his hand, and the letters "b, p, m, f" were written on the blackboard.
Looking directly in the direction of the blackboard, eight people could be seen, Zhou Zhiruo, Zhang Wuji, Zhang Sanfeng, and five strange women.
These women were women from good families who were robbed up the mountain by bandits, and Xu Qian arrived at the cottage and wiped out the bandits, and was naturally rescued.
Because of the bandits, the five daughters have all died in their families, and their bodies are all tainted by bandits, and they have nowhere to go, so they simply stay in the cottage and are arranged by Xu Qian to do some chores.
Zhou Zhiruo, Zhang Wuji, and the five women sat in one place, reciting letters in unison, and Zhang Sanfeng sat on the side, watching Xu Qian's teaching.
Although it is not the first time to watch Xu Qian's lecture, Zhang Sanfeng is still amazed in his heart, this Xu Xiaoyou is really talented and amazingly intelligent!
If nothing else, the strange characters written on the blackboard are a remarkable invention that can reduce the difficulty of literacy several times, and if it spreads, it will definitely benefit the world.
"Okay, that's all for this class, now let's do recess exercises."
Xu Qian's teaching adopts the teaching method of later generations, with 45 minutes of each class and 15 minutes of rest, not only recess exercises, but also eye exercises and lunch breaks.
After the recess exercise, Zhou Zhiruo, Zhang Wuji and others sat on a grass, Zhou Zhiruo looked at Xu Qian: "Master, it's time to tell us a story!" ”
Hearing Zhou Zhiruo's words, Zhang Wuji and the others all looked at Xu Qian expectantly, and even Zhang Sanfeng looked over, looking very interested.
Every day after recess, Xu Qian would tell them a story.
"What story do you want to hear?" Xu Qian asked.
"As long as it is said by the gentleman, we all like it!"
Xu Qian glanced at Zhang Wuji and said in his heart: 'This little thing can still make a sycophant!' ’
"Okay, I'll tell you the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl."
Hearing that Xu Qian was going to talk about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, Zhou Zhiruo and the others were a little disappointed, they had all heard this story, and it was not new, but Zhang Sanfeng twisted his beard and smiled, wondering what was the difference between the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl that Xu Qian told was different from what he knew?
"You should have all heard this story, and it is said that it was a long, long time ago......"
Xu Qian didn't care about the reactions of several people, and talked about himself, talking about the version of the Cowherd peeping at the Weaver Girl taking a bath and stealing the Weaver Girl's clothes.
"The story has been told, so now ask the question, what kind of person do you think the Cowherd is?" After the story was told, Xu Qian suddenly asked, and Zhou Zhiruo and the others were stunned.
What kind of person can a cowherd be?
Of course, he is a hard-working, honest, kind, and heartfelt good person, and the Weaver Girl is a natural pair, but he hates that the Queen Mother wants to break up a pair of lovers.
A woman who was rescued by Xu Qian from the cottage was the first to answer: "Sir, the Cowherd is an honest and kind person who has a heartfelt love for the Weaver Girl. ”
Xu Qian smiled slightly, did not say whether it was right or wrong, and only said to Zhou Zhiruo: "What about you?" What do you think? ”
Zhou Zhiruo said: "Back to the master, the disciple thinks that the Cowherd is a shameless villain, neither kind nor honest!" ”
Hearing Zhou Zhiruo's answer, Zhang Wuji, who was sitting next to her, immediately turned his head to look at it, he actually felt that the cowherd's behavior was wrong, but everyone from childhood to adulthood said that the legend of the cowherd and the weaver girl was beautiful, which made Zhang Wuji hesitate and did not speak.
"How?"
Zhou Zhiruo said: "If the Cowherd is honest, then he won't listen to the old cow, peep at the Weaver Girl while the Weaver Girl is bathing, and take away the Weaver Girl's clothes, if the Cowherd is kind, he shouldn't take the Weaver Girl's clothes and let the Weaver Girl be his wife." ”
"What about the old cow?"
Zhou Zhiruo said: "It's not a good cow, in order to repay the kindness of the cowherd, he actually implicated the innocent Weaver Girl, and all incidents started because of it, which can be described as despicable and shameless." ”
Xu Qian glanced approvingly at Zhou Zhiruo, under his education, Zhou Zhiruo's thinking had gradually transcended the era of the late Yuan Dynasty.
"What Zhiruo said is good!"
Xu Qian praised it, and the next moment the words changed, and he only listened to him: "Therefore, girls must protect themselves outside, and don't be like the Weaver Girl, who is taken advantage of by obscene hooligans like the Cowherd." Of course ......"
Xu Qian glanced at Zhang Wuji and said with a smile: "Boys should also protect themselves, after all, there are good men in this world, and there are female hooligans." ”
The gentleman is not serious!
Zhang Wuji's face flushed, a little shy.
ridiculed Zhang Wuji, and Xu Qian's words changed again: "In fact, if you look at the real situation, it is almost impossible for the Weaver Girl to fall in love with the Cowherd." Not to mention that the Weaver Girl is the daughter of the Queen Mother, the Cowherd is just a mortal herding cow baby, and the identities between the two are not equal, but if you say that the fairy is different, it is impossible to be together. ”
Zhou Zhiruo and the others looked at Xu Qian, wondering what he was going to say, but they only heard Xu Qian say: "The body of an immortal is far beyond that of mortals, it can do things that mortals can't do, it can see things that mortals can't see, and it won't fart and pee like mortals, and the body is dirty, do you think so?" ”
Although Xu Qian's words were vulgar, Zhou Zhiruo and several people nodded, feeling reasonable, if immortals are not different from mortals, what are they called immortals?
"Then, as an immortal, the Weaver Girl can see the eye droppings on the Cowherd's face and the greasy on his head at a glance, and smell the fart smell released by the Cowherd, do you think the Weaver Girl will still be with the Cowherd?"
This angle is so tricky, not to mention Zhou Zhiruo and Zhang Wuji, even Zhang Sanfeng was stunned, I didn't expect that the myth and legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl could be interpreted from this aspect, but if you think about it carefully, this interpretation seems to be really reasonable!
A good legend, in Xu Xiaoyou's mouth, has become like this. ’
Zhang Sanfeng secretly said in his heart, after listening to Xu Qian's interpretation, he found that he could no longer look directly at the original story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.
"So from this point of view, it is almost impossible for the Weaver Girl to fall in love with the Cowherd!"
At this time, Zhang Wuji asked a question: "In Mr. Yi's words, the Cowherd is a shameless person, and the Weaver Girl is a fairy in the sky, and the two should not be together, so why can this story spread all over the world and everyone knows it?" ”
"That's a good question!"
Xu Qian smiled: "Because this is just the imagination of a group of poor scholars, they can't marry a woman like the Weaver Girl in reality, so they make up stories to satisfy their imagination." The legends of talented and beautiful women in the world are also like this, most of them are daughters with poor talents. The creator of these stories can't be the protagonist in reality, so he becomes in the story. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Qian suddenly looked at the sky and said something that made Zhang Sanfeng, Zhang Wuji and others puzzled: "Maybe it was also imagined by a poor author, if there is a chance to detach, I will definitely blow up that dog's head." ”
Zhang Sanfeng, Zhou Zhiruo, and Zhang Wuji were confused.
