In the hot weather, the fruits are warmed by the sun. Peeling off the skin of a golden apricot and putting it in your mouth is like putting a piece of honey in your mouth. Yunzheng has always despised the food in the Song Dynasty.
Yes, he never gets tired of eating the fruits here. Although they are not as good-looking as the fruits of later generations, and none of them look good, the taste is nothing to say.
The Yun family was poor and did not have an ice cellar, so Yun Zheng had to choose a basket full of fruits and hang it on a rope to soak in the well water. When Lu Qingqing and the others came back, they would be able to eat the cold fruits.
The sun had already set on the treetops, but there was still no movement in the study. Su Xun came. The servants of the Yun family told the Su family that their two young masters were taking the exams from Mr. Peng Li. After waiting for a long time, there was no news.
So Su Xun came over in person.
Yun Zheng, who had taken a nap, asked Su Xun to sit down. If you want to go, Su Jing woke him up first. Unexpectedly, Su Xun shook his hand and whispered: "Let him sleep a little longer. This child's body is very weak. A good sleep can help him resist."
It’s very hot.”
Yun Zheng felt that having such an old father was actually a blessing, so he did not disturb Su Jingxian's sweet dream. He poured a cup of herbal tea from the teapot and handed it to Su Xun.
I wanted to make an assessment of these three children according to the above method, but I didn't expect it would take so long. It has already been two hours. If it continues like this, it will be a kind of torture for the three children.
"
Su Xun was startled, put down his teacup and stood up and asked: "Are you saying that Mr. Peng Li is using the "Little Children's Classic" to test Yun Yue, Su Shi, and Su Che?"
Yun Zheng said in confusion: "I don't know what the "Little Children's Classic" is, but Mr. Peng Li said that it is a secret of Lu Yijian's family. Not only was Jing Xian and I not allowed to read it, but the three children were also made to swear not to tell it outside.
I don’t know if it’s the Children’s Classic or not.”
"That's it. Lu Tanfu concocted a new method of measuring children's intelligence, which he regarded as a secret that was not passed down. When His Majesty asked Lu Yi to describe this method, he thought it should not be taken lightly unless he was a descendant of the Lu family.
This is the most precious asset of a big family. Naturally, I won’t pass it on lightly. If I came up with such a thing, I would keep it to myself and not pass it on. People like you can easily pass it off as someone who has learned a secret book.
, it’s really too rare.”
After talking for a while, Su Xun regained his composure. He sipped herbal tea from the cup while chatting with Yun Zheng about the differences between the three children. He didn't know if Lu Yijian's method would work on these three children.
It will work, after all, every child is an independent individual.
Yun Ye's view is more pessimistic. Such methods have been used to death in later generations. Those poor children are struggling with countless strange learning methods, and they have never heard of any learning method that is suitable for all children.
It is precisely because of differences that the world will be colorful. Everyone has his own unique side. If there is a way to turn all people into the same kind of people, that method is called MLM, and
It's not called learning.
More and more people gathered at the door of the study. Both the male servants and the maids stretched their necks to wait for the young master to come out of that door, as if his young master was entering the Dragon Gate exam.
The door finally opened, and three exhausted children came out. They were so listless that it made people feel distressed. I didn't know what kind of perverted questions Lu Yijian had asked that could torture people like this.
The maids had already prepared warm bath water. Before Yun Zheng and Su Xun came forward to ask, they took the three children to the room to take a bath and change clothes. Even adults couldn't stand such a sultry weather, let alone the three children. A child.
Mr. Peng Li's ban was still in effect, and Yun Zheng still could not enter his study. The old man's laughter kept coming from the study. When he laughed so hard, he even banged the table.
Su Xun let out a breath and said to Yun Zheng: "It seems that the three children are not as popular as they are, and they have answered the questions well."
"This is expected. Whether it is Yun Er or Xiao Shi Xiaozhe, they are all chosen at the moment. People like Lu Gongzhu can achieve above-average grades. There is no reason why our children should be better than him. Difference!"
Su Xun said to Yun Zheng strangely: "Why do you have more confidence in them than me?"
Yun Zheng smiled strangely and said: "I know, of course I know!"
There was thick smoke billowing in the study room, and Mr. Peng Li was burning papers. The old man kept confidentiality to the extreme. As expected, when the smoke in the study cleared, the old man walked out with a straight face, pretending to be profound and silent. Yun Zheng couldn't tell the old man off, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were constantly beating when he was smiling, trying to make people think that the three children did not do well in the exam.
"Not bad!" The old man was lying on the recliner, enjoying the herbal tea brought by Yun Zheng. It took him a long time to spit out two words from his mouth. After saying these two words, he looked at Su Xun who was standing with his hands folded and said: " You teach your son well!"
Su Xun grinned and quickly bowed to thank the gentleman for the compliment. Such compliment was already the highest compliment to him.
Seeing the sweat all over his body, Yun Zheng helped him take a bath. While adding hot water to his bucket, he asked in a low voice: "Sir, I'm afraid Yun Yue's results are beyond your expectations, right?"
Mr. Peng Li lay in the barrel and sighed and said: "Lü Gongzhu is already a rare talent, but he is still three points behind Yun Yue and Su Shi, and is on par with Su Che. Yun Yue's vision is broad, and Su Shi's It is a pity that the talents I have been seeking for so many years have only appeared one by one in my old age."
"It takes ten years to cultivate trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. The emergence of talents cannot happen overnight. You have worked hard all your life in Sichuan. It is a blessing to see the light of day. Besides, you have a bowl of wine from my disciples to prepare you." , how can you drink so much without getting drunk after a thousand drinks?"
Mr. Peng Li stretched out his skinny arm and slapped Yun Zheng. The master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled happily. The old man did not tell Yun Er how they did in the exam. He knew his thoughts and was worried. Children become proud, which is detrimental to their future growth.
The old man, who had been busy all day, ate a bowl of noodles and then went back to the guest room to rest. He was old and had been suffering for a whole day, and he was extremely sleepy.
The same was true for the three children. Each of them seemed to have been beaten by frost. Even the most naughty Su Shi had no appetite for his favorite braised pork. After eating a small bowl of rice, he put down his bowl and chopsticks and stopped eating. The same was true for Su Zhe, Su Xun and Su Jing first carried the two brothers on their backs and walked towards the Su family's house in the afterglow of the setting sun.
Yun Er looked at his elder brother and said: "Abnormal, very abnormal, very abnormal. As for the abnormal method, I will explain it to you in detail after I wake up." Bacon was not there, so Yun Zheng had to carry him back to the room.
sleep inside.
The child was probably really exhausted. He fell asleep as soon as he put him on the bed. Yun Zheng pulled a thin blanket over him and covered him. He found that the housekeeper snake was coiled on the mat in a snake formation. Yun San also got up early.
The child's nest is under Yun Er's bed, and everything is harmonious. The child can't live without the housekeeper and Yun San now, and seems to have regarded them as a part of his life.
The windows are covered with white screens, and the breeze blows through, making the tents swell. The weather in Chengdu is too hot and muggy, so there is no need to close the windows. This environment is very conducive to sleep.
Home is a place for rest. Lao Liao drove Lu Qingqing, Lanlan, Bacon, and Xiaochong back in a carriage. These four people also looked extremely tired. Lanlan now lives in the Yun family. After returning home, they
Not even bothering to say anything, they went back to their rooms to freshen up. Yun Zheng massaged Lu Qingqing's back and scolded in a low voice: "Why do you make yourself so tired? It's nothing more than a silk reeling workshop. If you are exhausted for it,
It is extremely unworthy to acquire talents.”
"Now, it is no longer a simple silk reeling workshop. Now our workshop is related to the life and death of 316 households of silkworm farmers. I went to Jinguan City to get the approval document, and the official approved three certificates for our family.
One hundred and sixteen sericulture farmers are the starting sericulture households of our family. Every year, the taxes of these sericulture farmers have to be paid to the government through our workshops, and all government orders also need to be conveyed to the mulberry farmers by our family. In other words, we
My family and 316 households of silkworm farmers have been tied with a rope. The large cocoons they produce every year need to be given to our family first. There are not many silk reeling workshops that do such a good thing. Thanks to Mr. Lu’s words,
Otherwise, our workshop will be just a night workshop."
Everyone in the family was exhausted. Yun Zheng suddenly realized that he had become a good-for-nothing loser. Fortunately, today he mixed some fruits and pulled them out of the well. They were fresh and lovable, so he saved a little face.
Lu Qingqing likes to eat peaches. Although white peaches are not as delicious as her honey peaches, there are no peaches to choose from at this time. Lanlan likes Ringo. This sweet and sour fruit seems to be very suitable for her.
She had an appetite and ate a lot in no time. As for bacon, she liked everything and tried everything, from melons, white peaches, Nanjing golden peaches, water pears, golden apricots, Xiaoyao plums, and red water chestnuts.
She is interested in trying medicinal papaya and water papaya. Xiao Chong is like a real bug. As long as it is sweet, she will accept it.
It seems that eating fruit after dinner is not a good idea. Who said that? Yun Zheng forgot about it. He didn't care about it now. As long as he and others were comfortable, he didn't care what bad effects it would have.
"My husband went to Chengdu today? Why did he buy all the fruits on the street?" Lu Qingqing asked Yun Zheng in confusion after eating two peaches. Yun Zheng did not have such a habit on weekdays.
"Someone used a donkey cart to sell goods at the back door of our house, so I bought them all, otherwise he wouldn't leave..." (To be continued)
