"I said Lao Zhang, what's the matter with you looking for me in such a hurry?" The person who spoke was Chen Yuannian, the straight line in Dingyuan County. He had just finished handling official duties and was called to the inner hall by the arrested boss Lao Zhang, saying that something was wrong.
Need to report.
"Mr. Magistrate, I handled a case at the market today."
Chen Yuannian listened to the story of the chief detective Lao Zhang, but when he heard that the case was just an ordinary theft case, his face changed slightly, and his expression seemed to be something else, can you commit such a small thing be mysterious?
?
"Sir, the difference between this case is that it is not me who solved the case, but a five or six-year-old child!"
"Hmm?" Chen Yuannian became interested when he heard the words of the captain Lao Zhang, and then stared at the captain Lao Zhang.
The captain Lao Zhang once again told everything he had heard in the market, but Chen Yuannian's expression seemed even more exaggerated. He had been the magistrate for six or seven years, and he had done it countless times, but he still had the head.
Have you heard of this kind of case handling method once?
"Where is the prodigy? Come and see me?" The magistrate Chen Yuannian looked surprised. He was interested in this prodigy. He wanted to meet this prodigy who was so magical in the mouth of the captain Lao Zhang.
What it looks like.
However, the next move of the captain Lao Zhang was trying to drive Chen Yuannian crazy! The captain Lao Zhang spread his hands and looked innocent, saying, "Mr. Magistrate, I originally wanted to meet this child prodigy.
Yes, but when I arrived at the scene, the prodigy and his son had already left!"
The headmaster Lao Zhang looked innocent, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.
On the other hand, when Magistrate Chen heard the words of the captain Lao Zhang, he almost spit out an old blood. This Lao Zhang is so angry that he won’t deserve his life, right?
Get out of here, get out of here.
County Magistrate Chen got angry and yelled at the captain Lao Zhang. Finally, he muttered, "You are here to anger me, go out quickly!"
The headmaster Lao Zhang was very helpless. Faced with the hot temper of the county magistrate, he had been doing business under him for six or seven years, and he was quite familiar with him. In addition to being jealous of evil, his only characteristic is that his temper is that he has a hot temper and has no scholar at all.
Looks like.
How did County Magistrate Chen pass the imperial examination for scholars?
The captain Lao Zhang did not care about the anger of County Magistrate Chen, but focused his thinking on it. After all, although he and the county magistrate have a superior and subordinate relationship, he has a good personal training on weekdays, otherwise it would be impossible for Old Chen to do so.
Just get angry in front of you. Just get angry after you get angry, and you will be fine after you get angry. The boss-in-chief Lao Zhang is also very helpless about Chen Yuannian's personality.
After the captain Lao Zhang left, Chen Yuannian coughed a few times, then looked helpless. This old Zhang didn't come to anger him specifically, right? He didn't let the prodigy slip away, but he even wanted to put it.
It was so annoying to tell me about this.
However, then, County Magistrate Chen no longer blamed Lao Zhang, but focused on the matter of the prodigy and thought to himself, "A five or six-year-old child, and a mother, who will this child be?"
"If I can find this child and cultivate it, it will be of great help to the development of Dingyuan County!" Chen Magistrate Chen thought to himself, and even made the development of Dingyuan County in the next ten years
I had already thought about the plan and completely forgot that I had no idea who this prodigy was.
"But, at the age of five or six, the prodigy doesn't know if there is any elementary school. Maybe they just study in a certain private school!"
County Magistrate Chen thought to himself that if he could narrow the scope of the prodigy to several private schools in the county, it would narrow the scope of search.
Currently, there are three private schools in Dingyuan County. The first is Li Zhiyuan on the east side of the county town, the second is Chen Changxue on the south side of the city, and the third is Gu Changqing on the small private school on the north side of the city. Fortunately, these three are familiar with them.
"However, in two days it seems that the literary exchange meeting of the three private schools will be there? Is it possible that this prodigy will appear at the literary exchange meeting."
Chen Yuannian wanted to find a prodigy for the first time was to be curious. He wanted to see what the legendary prodigy looked like. The second was to give him some favors appropriately, so that after the prodigy became prosperous in the future
I will never forget my hometown.
"Let's wait for a few days of literary exchange meeting!" Chen Yuannian sighed, and then felt angry. This Lao Zhang really caused trouble for people in vain.
But after thinking about it, Magistrate Chen still couldn't swallow this breath, and then said fiercely, "No, I want to go to Lao Zhang's house to have a drink, otherwise it would make him angry for no reason."
Thinking of this, County Magistrate Chen was not hesitating and ran to the home of the captain Lao Zhang in anger.
In Zhengjia Village, Xiao Changan was sitting in the yard reading, and he was still chanting something from time to time, "Is it a good idea to have friends coming from afar?"
Xiao Chu, who was sitting in the innermost, saw Xiao Changan's serious look, and I don't know whether to admire or laugh at him. After all, I have already seen Xiao Changan recite this article "The Analects of Confucius" countless times.
In these five years, Xiao Changan has not recited these completely once.
Alas! It seems that studying is really a life that relies on talent! Xiao Chu couldn't help but give his cheap stepfather a look of contempt. He has never seen such a stupid person before. The article "The Analects of Confucius" is a complete reading
Five years!
A cruel person, absolutely cruel person, Xiao Chu couldn't help but give a thumbs up in his heart.
Just when Xiao Chu was in meditation, he saw a man dressed in a child jumping and running in from outside the yard, looking happy on his face, and shouting excitedly, "Mom!"
Hearing this voice, Xiao Chu didn't know who it was. It was Xiao Cheng, the older brother who had already learned.
Xiao Changan in the yard heard that Xiao Cheng had returned from the private school and stood up and said, "Cheng'er, come in quickly!"
Xiao Cheng ran towards Xiao Changan, with smiles between his eyebrows and eyes, and he could clearly see the excitement in this guy's heart.
"Father, it's the Spring Festival in a few days. The Master has given all our students a holiday. I can go to study at home on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month." Xiao Cheng's face was full of excitement, because reading was really important to him.
It's too difficult.
But then Xiao Chu rolled his eyes at his brother. Just when Xiao Chu first learned that in ancient times there was still winter vacation, he couldn't help but be surprised. Mr. Chen is quite fashionable and knows to give the students some fun.
Let everyone take a break during the winter vacation.
Liu, who was preparing supper in the kitchen, heard Xiao Cheng's voice and ran out directly, with a look of joy on his face. He naturally liked his eldest son very much.
"mother!"
Xiao Cheng shouted sweetly. Xiao Cheng is already in his teens now. If you use the current standards, it is equivalent to the second and third grades of elementary school. However, Xiao Cheng is not too tall, and
If too many peers are shorter than others, it is probably because Xiao’s food is not good and his nutrition cannot keep up.
"How is my son studying in a private school?" Liu asked Xiao Cheng with a loving look on his face.
Hearing this, Xiao Cheng smiled and said, "It's a sloppy."
It is obvious that this kid's learning situation in a private school is definitely not very good. Xiao Chuwang looked at Xiao Cheng. It seems that if this kid is put into modern times, he will definitely be a poor student.
Xiao Changan didn't care much, so he touched his son's head and then said, "Son, remember, you must be diligent in studying. Talent is not the most important thing. Only by putting enough effort can you achieve something."
Xiao Cheng nodded in a daze, not knowing whether he understood Xiao Chang'an's words.
"By the way, my father, there will be a New Year's Literature Exchange the day after tomorrow, which was jointly organized by three private schools in the county. I heard that the saints can also receive the New Year gift! At that time, all the scholars in the county can attend and participate together.
At the grand event, everyone recited poems and wrote pairs together, exchanged their reading experiences at the meeting, and only learned in the competition." Xiao Cheng said lightly to Xiao Changan. As the only scholars in the family, he and his father wanted to participate in this New Year literature.
The exchange meeting is considered a glorious thing in Zhengjia Village.
In Zhengjia Village, most of the villagers have surnames Zheng, and only a few people with foreign surnames. The Xiao family is one of the few people with foreign surnames. If you attend the New Year literary exchange meeting this time, you can get a ranking smoothly
When I come back, I think I can be proud in the village.
After hearing Xiao Cheng's words, Xiao Changan only had a light in his eyes. It seemed that she was very interested in this new communication.
"Cheng'er, do you need any tickets or something about this exchange meeting?"
Xiao Cheng shook his head and said, "No, this exchange meeting aims to provide all scholars in Dingyuan County with an opportunity to communicate. Everyone can communicate freely at the meeting to improve their experience in reading."
Xiao Changan clapped his hands and said, "Okay, Cheng'er, then you, my father and son will go and have a good look at this New Year exchange meeting."
Xiao Chu stood aside. When he heard Xiao Changan's words, he saw Xiao Changan's passionate look and couldn't help but look contemptuous. However, he now doubted the level of the father and son, and he might be like cannon fodder if he went there.
The existence.
At this time, Xiao Chu couldn't help but remember what Xiao Chang'an looked like when he read the "Analects of Confucius". Although it is said that "the meaning of reading a book a hundred times is obvious", isn't it a bit too much for you to read it for five or six years?
Xiao Chu didn't continue thinking about it. Thinking of the father and son's appearance that they might have returned in a miserable manner at the New Year exchange meeting, it would be a little embarrassed at that time.
"Okay, don't talk now, the food is ready, Cheng'er, go and invite grandpa to dinner." Liu said quickly.
At the dining table, Mr. Xiao, Xiao Changfu's family, second sister-in-law, Xiao Lin, and Xiao Chang'an's family gathered at the dining table.
"Cheng'er, how is it like studying in a private school?"
The person who asked this time was Mr. Xiao. As the head of the family, he was naturally very concerned about his grandson's study situation. After all, whether Xiao Cheng can take the imperial examination well is directly related to the future living conditions of the whole family.
You have to ask questions carefully.
"It's okay for me to study there. Grandpa, the gentleman said that if I work hard, I will definitely win the next Tongsheng exam." Xiao Cheng heard his grandfather's question and answered seriously. Xiao Cheng knew that his grandfather was absolutely authoritative at home.
He is naturally extremely respectful when he speaks.
"That's good, that's good!"
Mr. Xiao nodded, looking relieved.
However, at this time, Liu was in a mixed mood and could not express it. He didn't know how Cheng'er was studying, but his youngest son had not yet studied. With his talent, he would definitely have a great future.
I talked to the old man about this, but I felt unsure of it, so I swallowed the words I said.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Changan noticed the abnormality of Liu's family and then asked Liu's family.
"No, nothing!"
Mrs. Liu didn't know what to say, so she just made excuses.
"Grandpa! When I came back from the county today, I passed by the market and heard something strange!" Xiao Cheng saw that his grandfather seemed to want to ask him about studying again, so he simply spoke.
"Oh? What a strange thing? Let's hear it." Mr. Xiao originally wanted to ask Xiao Cheng about what happened in the private school, but suddenly heard Xiao Cheng say this, and then followed Xiao Cheng's words.
"I heard that a child prodigy appeared at the market this afternoon!"
Hearing this, everyone at the dinner table was a little confused, but Liu and Xiao Chu were stunned. The child prodigy that Xiao Cheng mentioned was not himself, right? Xiao Chu began to mutter inexplicably in his heart. Could it be that the ancients
Is his information dissemination ability so strong? Even Xiao Chengdu knew about it in the afternoon?
"When I was home today, I passed by the market. People in the market were talking about one thing, that is, the matter of the prodigy in the market this afternoon. Everyone taught this prodigy so magically that it was so amazing.
Then I sat down at the tea stall and listened to them telling them in detail." Xiao Cheng said carefully, fearing that one of the links would be missed, so he told the Xiao family what he saw and heard from the tea stall owner.
However, when Liu heard Xiao Cheng's story, he knew that the eldest son was telling what his younger son Xiao Chu did at the market. He was about to speak, but was stopped by Xiao Chu.
Xiao Chu's little hand gently pinched his mother's big hand, squeezed his eyes at her, and signaled his mother not to tell everyone about this.
Liu quickly understood. Although he didn't know what Xiao Chu intended, he stopped his words out of trust in his son.
However, everyone was a little dumbfounded when they heard it. When everyone knew that this prodigy was only five or six years old, they were even more surprised. Unexpectedly, they would be so wise at the age of five or six. When they grow up in the future, they will definitely be a hero of a generation!
"Cheng'er, do you say that the child is only five or six years old?" Old Master Xiao didn't believe it in his eyes and asked Xiao Cheng.
"Of course it's true, grandpa, the people at the market spread all the stories of this prodigy, and some people said that this child was the reincarnation of Wenqu Xingjun in the sky." Xiao Cheng saw that his grandfather was a little unbelievable, so he quickly explained to his grandfather.
road.
After hearing this, Xiao Chu felt a lot of sweat in his heart. The rumors in the world were a bit terrible! He had inexplicably become the reincarnation of Wenqu Xingjun?
"I didn't expect there was a saying that there was a child prodigy in the world. I heard that before, I thought it was made up by people in the world, but I didn't expect that such a strange thing was really?" Xiao Changan sighed.
Mr. Xiao thought a little, then said to Liu's mother and son, "From the third family, didn't you and Chu'er go to the market this afternoon?"
When Mr. Xiao was hearing about his culture, Liu's expression suddenly became unnatural, and his delicate body couldn't help but tremble. Almost everyone on the dinner table saw Liu's abnormal behavior.
