The unsheathed sword that was solemnly delivered in a gift box, Mrs. Tai had to carefully inspect it from beginning to end to make sure that it was not poisoned or had any poisonous needles or other insidious mechanical springs installed.
, and I can't find any other faults. At least on the surface, this is an extremely sharp sword that can break hair.
As a result, a skilled craftsman was soon summoned to the Duke of Zhao's Mansion overnight with great worries. He was overjoyed and accepted this lucrative order, and stayed in the guest room of the mansion overnight to make the scabbard.
When Zhang Shou finished his morning class at Banshan Hall the next day, he watched Zhang Chen tally up the results of the elective courses in the afternoon, and watched a group of people randomly decide on the teachers they wanted to hire, how to hire them, and how to determine the corresponding teachers.
He was in the class venue, but Ah Liu forcibly invited him back to Zhao Guogong's mansion from the Imperial College dormitory he asked Xu Heizi to come to. He then received an unexpected gift.
The sword was mounted in a simple scabbard, and at first glance it seemed to have restrained all its sharp edges.
When Zhu Ying handed the sword to him, she was still a little dissatisfied: "This scabbard is too inconspicuous. I still like the style of inlaying gold and jade, but my grandmother said that gold looks vulgar against you, and I think the sword is too inconspicuous."
Just inlaying jade on the scabbard is not very eye-catching, it is a waste of your good looks, and using jade as the sword tassel is easy to crack, so I have to forget it!"
Zhang Shou was very satisfied with this simple sword, which was not inlaid with gold or jade. When he went to the Imperial Academy again on the third day, all the eunuchs in Banshan Hall were all human beings, and they immediately noticed that he had an extra pendant on his body.
.
Others could bear it, but the fourth prince, who was pampered by the emperor and grew up with a curious personality, couldn't help but ask before class began: "Why did the teacher suddenly think of wearing a sword? I don't think I saw it.
There are other people in the Imperial Academy wearing swords."
Zhang Shou brought the sword out with a high profile. At this moment, he looked around at everyone and smiled: "In our court, wearing a sword is the privilege of officials and scholars with high status. Of course, supervisors can also do it, but
Nowadays, there are more and more scholars who have no power to tie a chicken, and people even use the term "useless scholars" as a curse, and fewer and fewer people are wearing swords."
He paused for a moment, then chuckled and said: "In the past, scholars mounted their horses to govern the army, dismounted their horses to manage the people, and served as generals and prime ministers. Lou Shide was a Jinshi and should be promoted to a warrior, Li Qinglian, a scholar, traveled to the end of the world with a sword, Xin Jiaxuan devoted himself to the army and set his sights on Beiding.
In the Central Plains, in the early years of this dynasty, there were many such seniors, but now, there are gradually more and more people who study hard, do not work hard, and do not distinguish between grains and grains."
Hearing this, two people came quietly at the door. Dr. Guozi, who was planning to find fault with the four body parts and the five grains, suddenly turned black and walked away immediately. However, Xu Heigu, the Superintendent of the Shengqi Hall, who they bumped into head-on,
Because he had just arrived, he had no idea what Zhang Shou had just said inside. After hesitating for a moment, he quietly stepped forward and stood in the corner behind the door to listen.
The fourth prince did not notice the idle people outside the door, and asked with shining eyes: "Teacher, do you wear the sword to imitate the predecessors?"
Zhang Shou liked the fourth prince who was tough but had an impulsive personality. Hearing this, he smiled and said: "This sword was given to me by someone else. It was wrapped in an exquisite brocade box, but there was no scabbard. I think
, people probably wanted to tell me that being a human being should be like a sword, indomitable and sharp. So I specially customized the scabbard and wear it with me."
The third and fourth princes were too young to understand the meaning of Zhang Shou's words, but many supervisors did. As for those who didn't understand, people at the next table naturally explained it quietly. After a while, hundreds of people
Now that they understood the message conveyed by Zhang Shou, they all had a desire to watch the excitement, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.
I don’t know who sent an unsheathed sword to threaten Dr. Guozi, who had just taken office! But Zhang Shou not only didn’t pay attention, but also added a scabbard to the sword to wear with him... This was a provocation.
ah!
Lu Sanlang, who was qualified as an auditor in Banshan Hall, his eyes flickered, and he endured it again and again. When he heard Zhang Shou gently ringing the copper bell on the table, he closed his mouth angrily, but in his heart he was thinking about going back to Zhang Chen.
, let’s see if the two of them can join forces to dig out the guy who dared to threaten with a sword.
Since he had been praised so much by both the emperor and Mr. Ge, he had to do something practical... The credit for capturing and killing the rebels in the bamboo forest was a lie after all. He and Zhang Chen had done nothing together!
In this day's class, Zhang Shou followed the fourth prince's question and took Lou Shide as an example. He talked about the ups and downs of this prime minister's life, but also focused on the allusion of doing things in spite of himself.
After a history class was over, he unknowingly delayed the class... But when he found that other people didn't pay attention, he went on to teach another nature class. As before, he explained some natural phenomena in a simple and easy-to-understand way, and then asked someone to come up.
After doing several experiments, the morning class ended.
However, when he announced his lunch break and walked out of the mid-mountain hall, he only heard the voice of "teacher" behind him. When he turned around, he saw the fourth prince rushing out: "Teacher, why do you want Lou Shide to do this?
?Confucius said, repay evil with straightness and repay kindness with kindness!"
Zhang Shou was immediately happy. He knew that he did not specifically teach the Four Books and Five Classics in this Banshan Hall, but the emperor might not ask others to make up for these two princes. Maybe the brothers had learned it before they officially entered the school.
Less. At this time, the third prince actually hurriedly chased him out. When he stepped forward, he didn't ask any questions. Instead, he secretly tugged on the fourth prince's sleeve.
Zhang Shou was just waiting for someone to ask a question about this idiom in class, but he didn't expect that the question would be postponed until after class. He looked up and saw the entrance of Banshan Hall, where the supervising students who were going to look for food nearby seemed to be looking around, so he simply
Answered bluntly.
"Because what Lou Shide encountered was the most difficult emperor to serve in history, and this emperor was also the only female emperor in history. She was good at employing people, but she was also suspicious. Civil servants and military generals can have a good death.
There are very few, especially those who stand alone, such as Pei Xingjian, Wang Fangyi, Hei Te Changzhi... One by one, they were either demoted or died, but only Lou Shide had a good death."
Seeing that the fourth prince seemed a little confused, Zhang Shou smiled gently and said: "To put it simply, Lou Shide has not met a generous master like your father, the fourth prince. Therefore, if he cannot be careful and forbearing, but because of his wealth,
If you are noble and wanton, then he will be dead a long time ago. Therefore, the four words "spit one's actions" do not describe the character of tolerance and tolerance, but praise the wisdom of judging the situation. "
In the Banshan Hall, Lu Sanlang's eyes flickered when he heard this, until the guards of the third prince and the fourth prince surrounded the two people and left - they, who were very different in age from the other supervisors, did not stay every day to participate in the afternoon with other Banshan Hall supervisors.
They had all kinds of strange elective courses. According to what he inquired about, it was because of the Empress Dowager's insistence that the Emperor had to give in.
It wasn't until most of the supervisors left, either thoughtfully or as if nothing had happened, that he quietly slipped out of the Mid-level Hall.
As a result, he bumped into Xu Heizi, who was walking from the side of Banshan Hall!
The two of them met face to face, and Lu Sanlang unnaturally arched his hands as a greeting. But what he didn't expect was that he just wanted to avoid this plague god quickly, but after Xu Heizi nodded, his walking posture was a little unnatural.
.It wasn’t until he found Zhang Shou’s temporary dormitory in the Imperial College that he felt inexplicable that he suddenly understood.
Could it be that Xu Heizi had been standing there all morning, eavesdropping on the lectures Zhang Shou taught them?
When he found Zhang Shou's dormitory and was about to knock on the door, Lu Sanlang was still feeling a little sad. He gave up living in a luxurious home and endured the humble residence in the Imperial College because he didn't want to face his father's face, but what about Zhang Shou?
?The Duke of Zhao's palace almost regarded this prospective son-in-law as half a son, and it was obvious that Zhu Ying liked Zhang Shou so much that he was actually willing to live in the Imperial College.
Comparing one person to another is really annoying...
But Lu Sanlang put two fingers on the door and was about to knock it, when the door suddenly opened. He was startled and almost hit Zhang Shou on the head with two fingers, but luckily he managed to retract it reasonably well.
timely.
Zhang Shou just heard something strange outside the door, so he opened the door to take a look, but he didn't expect Lu Sanlang to suddenly come to kill him. After seeing the little fat man staring at him with big eyes, he smiled and asked: "What do you think?
You want to have lunch with me? You have such a good nose!"
"Hey!" Lu Sanlang quickly took two deep breaths. When he smelled an indescribable aroma coming from the dormitory in front of him, he quickly said with saliva, "I just happened to meet you. Mr.
You really know how to live, and you actually cook delicious food in your dormitory..."
"Even if I want to do it, I have to have ingredients!" Zhang Shou was already immune to Lu Sanlang's ability to flatter him, so he simply said bluntly, "You're welcome, come in and close the door!"
"Yes, yes." Lu Sanlang suddenly smiled, followed Zhang Shou into the house, and closed the door again.
When he saw clearly that there was a copper hot pot in the middle of the room, and the beads-like plates next to it were filled with various meat and meat dishes, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "It's noon, and the young gentleman is actually shabu-shabu!"
"Yingying specially asked Ah Liu to bring it. The boy didn't even show his face. He found a handyman to send it to me in the dormitory. He didn't know where he went to get into the sand. How could I eat this by myself?
There are a lot of them, so we can’t waste this great food. If you happen to happen upon it, it will be an advantage for you." Zhang Shou said and then added lightly, "It just so happens that I also have something to ask you."
Lu Sanlang was counting how many three- and four-layer food boxes were needed to hold the bowls and plates on the table, and how Ah Liu had brought them. He was also thinking that a rich-tempered young lady like Zhu Ying could actually do this.
When he was so considerate, even though he had never really pursued Zhu Ying, he was just pretending, and he felt a little sour in his heart unconsciously.
Forget it, Miss Zhu, why didn’t any other girl recognize me as good as me? Although I am a little fatter, I am still a talented little fat man praised by the emperor himself...
