Xia Zhifeng returned to her home. Her room was a section of the house next to the tavern. It was not big, but very cozy. She had a place to live, and a small study room with only two rows of shelves, which was full of her things.
More than 70% of the handwritten books were obtained from Zhang Shuning.
The little girl's thin and small body is lying on the table, sometimes writing furiously, sometimes frowning and thinking, this is the daily behavior of this little girl.
And since she was five years old, Xia Zhifeng learned to tidy up the house by herself, tidy up by herself, wash clothes and sheets by herself, and do simple needlework... His father never entered his daughter's room easily again.
Father Xia had very conflicting feelings about his daughter. Which father would not treat his daughter as a jewel? But the problem is that after giving birth to Xia Zhifeng, his wife died not long after.
But this daughter's eyebrows were very similar to her mother's, so there was always a thorn in Father Xia's heart.
At the beginning, he was a little alienated from his daughter, preferring to run his own tavern business, as if he was deliberately avoiding it, but by the time he realized something was wrong, it was already too late.
This girl herself has shown a unique ability. When she was three years old, she could remember what was read aloud after walking around the outside of the elementary school.
Mr. Mengxue occasionally carried her in and let her listen. Within a few days, Xia Zhifeng had memorized a semester's worth of courses... She soon learned to read and write. Mr. Meng was even more surprised and tried to teach her arithmetic.
Extremely tall, a child less than five years old will be able to frighten his husband.
As a result, my husband had to go find Father Xia.
I have good news for you, your family has a child prodigy, the only problem is that this child prodigy is a girl!
Father Xia is not that repellent, but he doesn't know how to cultivate a child prodigy... He can only try his best to help his daughter buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and take her to the bookstore occasionally, or to attend open classes at Jimin Academy.
As an ordinary father, there is not much he can do.
In this way, Xia Zhifeng grew up to seven years old. What exactly did this girl learn, Xia's father didn't know. By then, one thing was certain, she was smarter than her peers.
This made Father Xia both happy and frightened.
Could it be that Wenquxing is still a daughter?
Just when he was confused, Zhang Shuning appeared. This boy was slightly older than Xia Zhifeng, clean, tidy, and polite... At first, Dad Xia didn't think anything of it. After all, his daughter was too smart and had almost no playmates of the same age.
Finally, a smart one came, and Father Xia was quite happy.
But gradually, he discovered something unusual.
This little guy named Zhang Shuning has a surprising amount of books at home!
This cannot be solved with money. Father Xia remembers that when he was in the army, every time he captured a city, he would first seize the treasury and seal up the books.
These things are more important than food and money, and those expensive books will be sent to Xianggong Zhang.
Although Father Xia has never been there, he has heard of it.
Therefore, if you want to collect many books, especially nowadays, you must not only be rich, but also powerful.
In addition, Zhang Shuning also visited Yingtian not long ago, which makes people think a lot.
After coming back, he bought a bookstore and printed cards. Obviously, these are not things that ordinary children can do.
All kinds of doubts accumulated until today, when Father Xia saw Zhu Ying with his own eyes.
In a daze, Father Xia seemed to have seen him somewhere before. Although he couldn't tell for sure, he looked familiar. Moreover, Father Xia could clearly feel that there was murderous intent in the other party, as well as a trace of nobility.
It gave people the impression that he should be a general in the army, and he had a very high status...but he said that he was a sailing merchant.
Father Xia didn't believe it.
After returning from Zhang's house, he thought for a long time before coming to his daughter's room.
"Girl Feng, can you, can you have less contact with that Zhang Shuning?"
Hearing these words, Xia Zhifeng's eyes widened instantly, and a surge of anger shot straight to the top of her head, as if it was about to explode. She felt very wronged. She had not had many friends all this time, but she finally made a friend and got to know her again.
There are so many people who can do what they like and read so many books.
Then my father suddenly told himself not to interact with the other party. This was too unreasonable.
In the past, Xia Zhifeng might have cried a lot, crying and arguing with her father at the same time.
But after being in contact with Zhang Shuning for a long time, Xia Zhifeng still learned some skills from this little friend. Zhang Shuning's biggest characteristic is calmness and rationality.
He has a calmness that even adults don't have.
In fact, it can be seen in the confrontation with his second uncle. The second uncle tried his best to give him benefits and wanted to help him solve his difficulties. But Zhang Shuning always carefully screened, ate the sugar coating and threw the cannonball back.
In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang helped Zhang Shuning develop this habit.
Who makes this man covet Zhang Shuning year after year, wishing he could turn the little guy into his son-in-law?
Not only did things go against his wishes, but he also made Zhang Shuning understand a simple truth: no one will treat you well without any reason. This is the same when it comes to your beloved.
This is not to say that your relatives and elders are unkind, but they will influence your choices at some key points.
For example, if you accept Lao Zhu's enthusiasm, and then His Majesty the Emperor offers you a marriage, can you refuse?
Not agreeing is ungrateful and heartless.
But then again, is being a consort so good?
Throughout the ages, there have been so many relatives, but how many of them have been happy?
You cannot easily accept your majesty's kindness, and you cannot easily accept your uncle's kindness!
Xia Zhifeng admired this unique calmness and rationality. She resisted the urge to get angry and asked: "Why? Can you give me a reason? If you don't give a reason and just use your identity as a father to suppress me, although I have nothing to do,
But I won’t be convinced either.”
His daughter's words caused Father Xia to lose his merits in advance. He could not blame his daughter with a straight face.
He could only sigh and say: "Nothing else. I just think their family is extraordinary. His uncle is very tough and doesn't look like an ordinary person. I'm afraid that if you meet a bad person, you, a little girl, must learn to protect yourself."
Xia Zhifeng was stunned, and then asked: "That's all?"
Dad was stunned and said, "That's all!"
"Then you don't have to worry!" Xia Zhifeng said with a smile: "I also know that Zhang Shuning is very unusual, but he is an honest and kind person, and he will not hurt me. As for his identity, I believe that one day he will follow me
That’s right. It’s not a good habit to pry into other people’s secrets. Moreover, Kong Shengren once said that there is no one better than yourself when it comes to making friends. Zhang Shuning is so much better than me, and you can learn a lot by being friends with him.”
Father Xia was stunned, what should I say?
That kid Zhang Shuning is indeed not a bad person. It seems like it’s okay for his daughter to be friends with him... But why does he feel so empty?
Father Xia was stunned for a long time, but in the end he didn't say anything. Instead, he patted the girl on the shoulder and said, "Remember to take care of yourself, don't let dad worry."
Xia Zhifeng took a closer look and suddenly found that her father had some gray hair on his temples. He was not yet forty years old!
"Dad, I won't let you down. I heard that women can also be officials and do business. I will learn my skills well and provide for you in your old age. Don't worry!"
Father Xia looked at the serious girl and suddenly couldn't help but laugh.
No matter how smart you are, you are still a child!
"Go back and follow dad to the market, buy some silk and satin, and then ask a tailor to make you new clothes. The girl's family needs to be beautiful and not shabby."
Xia Zhifeng didn't like silk, and she wanted to tell her father that she had some money, and at least Zhang Shuning would get her dividends, but Xia Zhifeng didn't say it out loud, because she vaguely understood that doing so would hurt a father's face.
Men are very face-conscious creatures!
On the other side, Zhang Shuning sent his friends away and looked back with an angry look. Zhu Ying's arrival made him very dissatisfied.
"If my identity is exposed and I can't continue studying, my father will definitely be angry. My mother will also be unhappy. I can't predict what they will do then, right?"
Zhu Ying snorted coldly: "Believe it or not, if I disturb your study here, His Majesty will be very happy, even King Yan will be very happy."
Zhang Shuning chuckled lightly, "Just to make them happy and to annoy my father, don't you feel it's a shame?"
Zhu Ying was stunned, "Okay, I admit that my eldest brother is much more difficult to deal with than my father. I didn't come here to cause trouble on a whim. I actually planned to ask Zhu Chun to come over and study with you!"
"no!"
Zhang Shuning flatly refused without any hesitation, "If you ask him to come over, it doesn't mean that everyone knows that I am studying here. No matter what, it won't work!"
Zhu Ying explained: "Don't worry, I'm not asking him to come here to study as a young prince, or just like you, an ordinary student. I want him to learn his skills. As an elder brother, you can also teach me by the way."
he."
Zhang Shuning rolled his eyelids and suddenly said: "Then is he as smart as his uncle?"
"This?" Zhu Ying almost couldn't hold himself back, he could only say: "She's still a little better than me."
If he is better than Zhu Ying, then he is Geng class or Xin class? Anyway, he is far away from A class!
"I think there are so many talented people in Jimin Academy that it's not suitable for Zhu Chun. He won't be able to learn anything."
Zhu Ying sighed helplessly, "Even if he can't learn anything, we still need to let him open his eyes and make a few friends. He will have to shoulder the responsibility for the affairs in Yunnan in the future. Even if my uncle begs you, besides, I will
How about telling you something... as an exchange?"
"What's the matter?" Zhang Shuning asked in surprise.
"This is because your father will come to Jimin Academy in a few days."
"What?" Zhang Shuning was shocked. His father was so busy, why did he come to Jimin Academy?
"I saw a lot of lecture notes in your father's study, some on astronomy, some on arithmetic, some on physics, chemistry, law, business... I couldn't understand many of them. But I knew that he was ready to put it down.
After a period of government affairs, he should sort out his knowledge and launch his Zhang School of Learning!"
Zhu Ying patted Zhang Shuning's shoulder hard, "This Jimin Academy was proposed by your father, so... your father will be here soon!"
Zhang Shuning's body suddenly shook, and his mind went blank...
My friend’s new book is about games. If you like it, you can check it out.
