Zhang Sui stayed in the classroom all afternoon, and I have to say that Mr. Shu Qian did have profound attainments in historical research.
This afternoon Mr. Shu Qian is talking about the four emperors after the founding of the Tang Dynasty. From the founding king Li Zhi, the second Li Xiao, the third Li Jian, the fourth Li Shen, and the fifth Li Xiao, the lives and personalities of the five kings,
Achievements, shortcomings, impact on future generations, etc. are all explained very objectively and analyzed thoroughly.
Zhang Sui felt that he gained a lot after listening to the class. Especially the explanation, analysis and evaluation of the founding emperor Li Zhi gave Zhang Sui a clearer understanding of the actions of this predecessor who was suspected of being a time traveler.
In Zhang Sui's view, all Li Zhi's actions were purely for the purpose of "merits". It was not until the final breakthrough failed that he escaped into the Qinling Mountains. Now I don't know whether he is practicing in seclusion somewhere in the Qinling Mountains, or whether he has not made a breakthrough and has passed over time.
Turned into a pile of dust.
Zhang Sui thought to himself: "When the time is right, it will be necessary for Qinling and his entourage, but now Qinling is still banned by the Yan Dynasty royal family, so we have to think of a way to do it."
Although Mr. Shu Qian looks rough and has a bad temper, his lecture style is very detail-oriented and contains a lot of his personal stuff, especially when evaluating the achievements of several emperors of the Tang Dynasty.
It was very obscure, but for Zhang Sui, who had worked as a librarian, it was easy to tell.
Zhang Sui complained in his heart: "No wonder he was demoted again and again by the superiors. It's not without reason. If the Yan Dynasty hadn't charged him with speech crimes, Mr. Shu Qian would have been left in the cold a long time ago."
The time of listening carefully to the lecturer passed quickly, and soon it was time for classes to end in the afternoon. Mr. Shu Qian looked at the sky, stopped teaching, picked up the big tea vat on the podium, drank a few big sips, and spoke.
There was no rest in the afternoon, so I guess my mouth was dry.
After Mr. Shu Qian finished his tea, he mentioned the teaching stick again and said, "That's it for today. After I get down, think about what I said. I will check on your recent learning in the next class."
Zhang Sui clearly felt that the students around him who were relaxing when get out of class was over suddenly stiffened after hearing Mr. Shu Qian's words, and they all became nervous. Zhang Sui smiled secretly and said: "It seems that students in this world are also afraid of exams. .”
Mr. Shu Qian said again: "It's best if you can pass, but if you can't pass... hum!!" The stick in his right hand hit his left palm with a "pop" sound. Zhang Sui saw all the students' bodies trembling.
Seeing the students' reactions, Shu Qian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay, get out of class is over!" The students felt like they had been granted amnesty. They stood up and saluted one by one and left the classroom.
Zhang Sui stood up and saluted and was about to leave when he was stopped by Shu Qian: "Zhang Sui, wait a moment, I have something to say!" The other students gave him a sympathetic look and left even faster.
Zhang Sui was not afraid and asked respectfully: "Teacher, what are your instructions?"
Shu Qian motioned for him to sit down, then put down his teaching stick and came to him and asked: "How much can you remember what I said today? How much do you understand?"
Zhang Sui tilted his head and recalled. His memory was now so good that even he was a little surprised. He could recall everything Shu Qian taught in class.
Zhang Sui replied: "Students can basically remember what the teacher said in class."
Shu Qian was a little surprised: "Oh? Can you remember it? Then I will test you."
Shu Qian asked a few questions, which were all based on what was taught in class, and some contained very obscure details. Zhang Sui recalled them and was able to answer them fluently.
After a long while, Zhang Sui finished answering all the questions asked by Shu Qian. Shu Qian exclaimed: "No wonder Mr. Meng can take you back into his disciples. It seems that you are really talented and a good scholar!"
Zhang Sui was always modest and did not dare to do so.
Seeing his appearance, Shu Qian was a little dissatisfied and shouted: "How dare you! A young man has talent, ability, and family background, so he should be high-spirited and show off his sophistication to who?"
Zhang Sui was speechless. He finally understood why Mr. Shu Qian couldn't get along with his colleagues. How many people could stand up to such an outspoken character? It is estimated that only an elder like Mr. Meng would be so tolerant of him.
.
Zhang Sui didn't say much, he just smiled and accepted the lesson.
Seeing that he still looked like this, Shu Qian just shook his head and said: "Since you have this talent for learning, it should be very easy for you to study here. I have some things that I have collected and written over the years.
It is a collection of what I have learned throughout my life. You can take it back with me later and take a look at it for yourself. If you don’t understand anything, come back and ask me. You can come and go freely in this class, as long as you can pass the monthly exam.
If you can’t pass the test, hum! Mr. Meng’s face is useless!”
Zhang Sui was overjoyed. From this class, we can see the level of Mr. Shu Qian. He knew that the books written by Mr. Shu Qian must have many useful things and clues for him.
And this way, his time will be much freer. As for the issue of passing the monthly exam, he is still very confident in his current memory.
Zhang Sui thanked him repeatedly. Shu Qian waved his hand and asked him to follow him to get the books.
Soon he arrived at Shu Qian's residence. Shu Qian pointed to a stack of two-foot-thick manuscripts on the desk and said, "They are all here. I will add more later as appropriate. Take these first and see if there are any."
Come and ask me if you know."
Zhang Sui looked at this pair of manuscripts and was a little stunned. His whole life's hard work was thrown there so casually without fear of loss or damage. This teacher is also a person with a big heart.
Picking up a piece of paper and looking at it, the paper was written in small calligraphy. The handwriting was neat and neat, without any scrawl, and it looked pleasing to the eye. Zhang Sui sighed in his heart: "Although Teacher Shu looks rough, he is also a smart person.
You are so beautiful, those who didn’t know this handwriting would have thought it was written by a woman.”
Zhang Sui suddenly thought that he had a bookstore at home, so he might as well ask his family to help collect these books into a volume. On the one hand, it would be easier to read and preserve, and on the other hand, it was Mr. Shu Qian's hard work. It would be a pity if it was lost or damaged. Zhang Sui
Then he told Shu Qian what he was thinking.
Shu Qian hesitated a little and said thoughtfully: "I haven't proofread this manuscript yet, so there are bound to be some errors and omissions in it. Besides, some of the words in it may be out of place..."
Zhang Sui complained in his heart, how many personal items have you hidden inside...
Zhang Sui thought for a while and said: "Then I will discuss it with my family and just compile it into a book. If there are any mistakes or omissions, I will communicate with you and they will not be spread out. It should not have any impact."
After hearing this, Shu Qian thought for a moment and said, "That's okay." He hesitated and said bluntly: "Actually, I won't hide it from you. I came to your Zhang family to teach. On the one hand, it's Mr. Meng's face, and on the other hand,
On the other hand, I also want to use the hands of your Zhang family to spread my hard work over the years. After Mr. Meng read my manuscript, although he felt that it was somewhat insightful, some of the contents in it are still a bit out of date. Therefore, he did not speak to your Zhang family."
Zhang Sui suddenly realized and said: "It's okay. This kind of situation is actually not uncommon in our bookshop. I will tell my family."
Shu Qian saw that he handled the matter safely, nodded and asked Zhang Sui to handle it himself.
Zhang Sui took the manuscript, said goodbye to Shu Qian, and returned to his residence.
Early on the next morning, the steward of the Clan Academy ordered a bookboy to inform Zhang Sui that someone was coming to the Clan Academy to look for him. Zhang Sui was still a little confused and didn't know who would come to look for him.
As the book boy came to the gate of the clan school, he saw a tall, dark-skinned man milling around the door. His left arm was still wrapped in a bandage, with blood oozing out. When the man saw Zhang Sui, his face showed
He was so happy that he immediately stepped forward and shouted angrily: "Second Master!"
A flash occurred in Zhang Sui's mind, and it turned out that the person coming was none other than Widow Liu's son, Fang Xiong, Lao Lu's apprentice.
Zhang Sui looked at the silly smile on Fang Xiong's face, walked up to him, patted his right arm, and said with a smile: "Nobita, I haven't seen you for a few months, and you have become a lot stronger!" Looking at his injured left arm, he wrinkled.
He frowned and asked, "What's wrong with this arm?"
Fang Xiong chuckled and said: "It's okay, it's okay. Yesterday the steward of the farm informed me that I could come back to serve the second master. I thought about promising the third lady to catch a snow rabbit for her, so I went to look for it, and I met one on the hill behind the farm.
Crazy beast, I had a fight with it, and ended up hurting my arm. They were minor injuries, nothing serious."
Zhang Suidao: "That's good. I told Lao Lu yesterday that you would be back in a few days, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."
Fang Xiong said: "I came here to thank the second master for helping me, otherwise I don't know how long I would have to stay at the farm. I am not tired, but I miss my mother a little."
Zhang Sui was a little embarrassed and said: "It was because I was ignorant at that time. I knew you were a stupid kid, but I still insisted on breaking that guy's head, which made you punished. I won't let you do those stupid things in the future.
Already."
Fang Xiong chuckled and said: "I listen to the second master. If the second master asks me to go up, I will definitely go up." After saying that, he pointed to the carriageway behind him that was carrying goods: "The farm manager asked me to help bring something.
When I return to Zhang's Mansion, I will take the beast I killed yesterday with me and let my mother and master have a taste of it when I get home."
Zhang Sui was a little curious and asked: "What kind of beast is it?"
Daxiong saw that Zhang Sui was curious, so he led Zhang Sui to the car and lifted the felt covering the car.
I saw a six-foot-long wild boar appearing in front of me. This wild boar was so fat and strong that it looked like it weighed five to six hundred pounds.
The strangest thing is that this wild boar's fangs exude a faint shimmer, but one of them has been broken. There are several blood holes on the body, and the skull on the forehead is dented. It looks like it was directly punched out by someone.
of.
Zhang Sui was surprised and said: "Good boy, you couldn't kill this wild boar with your fists, right?" Fang Xiong said with a naive smile: "At that time, this guy rushed over directly. I didn't have a guy in my hand, so I had to press it down.
He smashed him to death with his fists on the ground."
A group of grass and mud horses ran through Zhang Sui's mind. This guy is definitely the Wu Song of this world. Listen, he pinned him to the ground and smashed him to death with his fists. Is this what humans do? Just look at Fang Xiong's figure. No wonder Sanmei
Calling him Big Bear is indeed correct.
Fang Xiong said: "Actually, we often see these beasts in the mountains, but usually they hide away from people when they see them, and they are afraid of being beaten. But I don't know what happened to this one. When he sees me, he just goes straight to me.
It came at me, so I had no choice but to kill it directly."
Just hearing this, my heart moved and I asked: "Is there anything different about this wild boar?"
Fang Xiong thought for a while and said: "It seems to be no different, except that its tusks are different from other wild boars. They also shine." After saying that, he pulled out a tusk from his waist and handed it to Zhang.
Then, it turned out that one of the missing tusks of the wild boar was broken off by him.
Fang Xiong added: "At first I couldn't hold this guy down, but then I broke off one of his fangs, and his strength was reduced a lot. I held him down and stabbed him a few times with my fangs, and my hand was too strong.
When he slipped, he was beaten to death with his fist."
Zhang Sui could imagine the danger at that time from his words, and reached out to take the fang. Unexpectedly, the tip of the right finger of the fang became hot. Zhang Sui was overjoyed: "Does this have any power?
The power of merit? The power of disaster?”
The tusk was held in Zhang Sui's hand for a while. Zhang Sui clearly saw that the luster on it was gradually fading away. He walked to the side of the wild boar and touched the unbroken tusk with his hand. His fingertips also responded, and soon
The faint luster on the fangs disappeared.
Zhang Sui calmly handed the fang back to Fang Xiong and said, "I don't think there is much difference?"
Fang Xiong took it and looked at it, scratched his head and said: "It was relatively bright yesterday, but it started to fade this morning. It's not obvious at all now."
Zhang Sui heard Fang Xiong's words. It seemed that this power began to flow away after the wild boar died. What he absorbed was probably the last remaining bit. No wonder Fang Xiong didn't doubt it.
Zhang Sui changed the subject and said, "Okay, forget about it. Are you planning to go back to Zhang's Mansion later?"
Fang Xiong nodded and said: "Yes, Second Master. I will first send the things belonging to the manager of the farm to Zhang's house, and then go back to see my mother and master. After that, I will come over here to run errands for you."
Zhang Suidao: "You go back and stay with Aunt Liu for a few days before coming back. I will need your help if I need something."
Fang Xiong said quickly: "Then I will go back and settle down, then come over and listen to your instructions."
Zhang Sui waved his hand and said: "I'm not in a hurry. You can go back and recuperate for a few days to heal the injury on your arm. Just come back in five days. By the way, you can help me bring some manuscripts back later and give them to the manager of the Zhang Mansion.
He gave it to the bookshop to help me type and bind it into a volume, and he would bring it to me when he comes over in five days."
Fang Xiong nodded in agreement. Zhang then returned to his residence and took out Shu Qian's manuscript and handed it to Fang Xiong, repeatedly telling him to be careful. Fang Xiong packed it in a package and patted his chest to reassure him again and again.
Zhang Sui sent him to the gate of the clan school, watched him drive the carriage away, then turned around and returned to his residence.
