When Zhang Shou stepped into the mid-level hall, he saw faces that wanted to die. Yes, it was not a sad face, but a lack of interest in life, and life was worse than death. Only a few people were still writing furiously as if they refused to admit defeat.
, pinching his fingers and muttering something. He even had to cough several times before he finally got some people's attention back.
Zhang Chen, who was looking at people with a ruler in his hands, was the slower one to react. When he turned his head and saw Zhang Shou coming back, he couldn't even put away his fierce expression immediately.
"Last night I rested in the Lu Mansion because of some trivial matter. Unexpectedly, I suddenly heard that I was going to court with Lu Sanlang, so I didn't have time to tell you. I missed half a day of class." Zhang Shou walked slowly to the podium and saw
Zhang Chen hurriedly gave way, but he suddenly quickened his pace and stepped forward to grab him. Then he smiled and said, "It's just that I didn't expect you to be so powerful, Zhang Chen."
Zhang Shou turned around and glanced at the various topics covered in ink on a pile of wooden shelves behind the podium. He smiled and said, "This is when Zhang Chen and the others were learning arithmetic from me in the Cuiyun Room of Rongshui Village on the outskirts of Beijing.
I taught them. Of course, there were too many questions at that time, and most people probably didn’t remember them clearly, so it’s not surprising that they got it wrong.”
"It's not surprising that you can't do it. After all, the required courses in Banshan Hall only teach history and nature, and do not include arithmetic. However, since Zhang Chen gave everyone so many questions today, no one can
Make five moves, leave here with your head held high, and enjoy your half-day vacation freely, then I have to say a few words."
After a pause, Zhang Shou said word by word: "As a parent, you need to know how much land, population, taxes, post roads, bridges and canals there are; as a general, you need to know how many soldiers, horses and horses under your command."
How much, how much ordnance? As the master of a house, you need to know how many servants you have, how much your monthly income is, how much your expenses are... Therefore, rough arithmetic is fundamental."
"Otherwise, those who are the chief minister of one party will be ignored by the subordinates; those who are the chief generals of one party will be hijacked by the subordinates; those who are the leader of a house will be easily deceived by the subordinates. Even if you may not really become an official in the future, you will never think about it.
I am willing to be played in the palm of one or two servants. Therefore, starting from tomorrow, every other day, I will naturally change to sutra calculation. I will not talk about these complicated applications, but I will talk about the practical study and application of sutra calculation."
At this point, he smiled and talked about Lu Sanlang's "adventure" last night, and then briefly and concisely talked about the meeting this morning. As a result, except for the third and fourth princes who were too young, only the second prince understood
He failed to act arrogantly but was crushed miserably. The others more or less understood what happened last night, and the expressions and reactions at this time were really wonderful.
Although he was praised by the emperor, given Lu Sanlang's image and reputation, he could actually marry the pretty young daughter of Liu Shilang's family? And he was also rewarded by the emperor, and even promised to give her a name when they get married?
The most important thing is that Lu Sanlang even challenged the second prince for this, and even won!
If they could get the grace of a beautiful woman like a flower or a holy family, they would be willing to turn back as prodigal sons! After all, they would go back to Banshan Hall to be the supervisors honestly, isn't that just for this reason?
Especially those Guijie children who had stayed in Cuiyun Room and were recognized by Ge Yong as the disciples of Ge Yong, they thought of the promise Zhang Shou had given them - at that time they thought Zhang Shou was from the Duke of Zhao's house.
The confidants came to recruit them on behalf of Zhu Ying. That night, there were not just one or two people like Zhang Wu who got hints and could help matchmaking to find a good marriage!
Now that Lu Sanlang is so lucky, how could he know that it wasn't Zhang Shou who was giving guidance and help behind his back?
Therefore, as Zhang Wu was the first to stand up and express his support for changing the curriculum, Zhang Chen suddenly realized that he had joined this group. In the end, there was not a trace of noise in the huge Banshan Hall, and everyone actually accepted the curriculum. Temporary change. Even when Zhang Shou announced that class would end early, many people not only did not leave, but also gathered around to inquire about the details of the meeting.
How could Zhang Shou brag to others about this? He casually asked someone to ask Lu Sanlang, but he just called Zhang Chen and left. He did not return to the doctor's hall, but took Zhang Chen to his dormitory. After entering the house, he saw that everything was neat and clean. There was even a cattail bag on the table in the middle. He stepped forward and opened the lid, revealing a pot of tea warming inside. He knew that Ah Liu had come.
Zhang Shou took two cups from the tea tray on the other side. He poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhang Chen. He was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly took it. Then while pouring the tea, he said: "Today, you are the chief of the restaurant." It's good to establish your authority, but if you are so tough, don't you worry that others will hate you? Zhang Chen, Lu Sanlang is already engaged, what about you?"
"There are so many people who hate me, how can I have the time to care about so many people." Zhang Chen answered the former question confidently, but when he heard the latter question, his expression couldn't help but become extremely complicated.
After all, Lu Sanlang has proved with facts that he was just chasing Zhu Ying for a show at first, but he once truly admired the eldest lady of the Zhao Guogong Palace. Even now, whenever Zhu Ying appears, he still I think she is dazzling.
After hesitating for a while, he finally snorted softly: "My dad is not in a hurry, why should I be in a hurry?"
Qin Guogong Zhang Chuan... This father was a civil servant who was a top adviser during the Ruizong period. At the court meeting today, Zhang Shou took a special look at the group of nobles. It seemed that there was such a person, but he was really very low-key. There are almost no features visible.
Zhang Shou thought so in his heart, and then said calmly: "Yingying is addicted to helping people as matchmakers. After Lu Sanlang, she also wants to help those people in Cuiyun Room to take a look. Since you are not in a hurry, if you know that other people have If there's a girl you like, just tell me. If it's suitable, Yingying will come forward to help. This is why I'm looking for you, so please pay more attention as the chief."
Zhang Chen was immediately dumbfounded. It was enough for the chief to take care of Banshan Hall, but he still had to worry about other people's marriages? But when Zhang Shou said the next words, he was moved unconsciously.
"After all, like Lu Sanlang, there are too many people in Banshan Hall who were not taken seriously by the family in the past. Instead of letting each family set inappropriate rules for them, either out of interests, neglect, or suppression. The marriage will cause them to regret it in the future, and their lives will be wasted, or they may do something wrong out of anger, so why not give it a try and help."
Listening to these heartfelt words, Zhang Chen finally couldn't help but say: "Actually, my father...although he is my only son, I don't think he cares about me very much. People like Zheng Huai'en force the family to do anything. I went to Zhao Guogong’s mansion to propose marriage, but he never acted like this. He never cared about what I was thinking!"
Having said this, he couldn't help but hit the table hard, and with a bang, the uncovered tea cup was shaken and buzzed.
"He doesn't care at all about who I want to marry!" He uttered these words painfully and sadly, and then suddenly laughed at himself, "Young sir, do you know? Mrs. Zhao Guogong lived away from home before, and Zhao Guogong actually had no status.
Concubine, but my father only has my mother, and he doesn’t even have a concubine. But that’s not because he and my mother are harmonious, but because he doesn’t see women at all!”
"It seems that beauties and ugly women are the same in front of him! He only sees the growing collection of books at home, and he never takes his eyes away from those books. So, when I was a child, I was thinking, I must
Marry the most beautiful woman in the world and let him see it, I don’t believe that he can be moralistic enough not to take a look at her!"
Zhang Shou felt like he was sweating all over his forehead at this moment. What kind of logic is this? Why would you marry a beautiful wife to make your father jealous?
Words that he had never said to anyone suddenly burst out of his mouth at this moment, and Zhang Chen himself felt strange. But immediately after, another sentence seemed to pop out of his mouth without passing through his mind.
"Sir, since you took away Yingying, you must be responsible for giving me a beauty!"
Zhang Shou stared at Zhang Chen for a long time, and finally said casually: "Can you say it again?"
Zhang Chen cried out as soon as he said those words, and Zhang Shou's casual tone made his heart skip a beat. But because of his innate arrogance, he still said bravely: "Mr.
Now that Lu Sanlang has settled a lifelong event, we can’t favor one over the other! My father is not in a hurry to get me engaged, and neither am I. But when I marry a wife, I must be a beauty with both talent and beauty!"
"It's a beautiful thought!"
Zhang Shou laughed angrily, "A beautiful woman with both talent and beauty, whose temperament matches yours? Will she be able to be a harmonious couple? The Book of Songs, Wei Feng, and Shuo Ren once described Zhuang Jiang, the wife of Duke Wei Zhuang, as so charming that the whole country was captivated.
, it is said that people can also write poems and write well, but how do you get along with Duke Zhuang of Wei? They are not a pair of resentful couples!"
"That's because Wei Zhuanggong is violent and cruel and doesn't know how to cherish. A woman as beautiful and talented as Zhuang Jiang is something that many people can only dream of. Only a fool would abandon her like a piece of shit." Zhang Chen couldn't help but slap the table and burst out again.
He made a thoughtless remark, "For example, Mr. Xiao, if you meet a stunning beauty like Miss Zhu and fall in love with her, will you not be moved?"
The brat actually used me as an analogy. What a slap in the face! Zhang Shou gave Zhang Chen a violent shock without even thinking about it. Seeing that Zhang Chen was hit, he quickly jumped away and then stared at him unconvinced. He almost wanted to
He said, I wasn't moved at first...but considering that he has already gotten used to and accepted that lively and beautiful girl, he still can't speak harshly.
He could only say: "If you want to marry a beautiful woman, you must have a goal. Otherwise, how can you make the two of you look at each other? If the man is interested in the concubine, then it will be easy to match him. Otherwise, you will be satisfied with the blind marriage and the removal of the hijab."
If she is dissatisfied, are you still a resentful couple?"
"Since you have robbed Miss Zhu, then I...I want to marry Princess Yongping!" Zhang Chen suddenly had an idea and thought of Princess Yongping, who is both talented and beautiful as Zhu Ying. Seeing that Zhang Shou was not dumbfounded
, but looked at himself up and down with a strange expression. He couldn't help but said angrily, "I will definitely be the Duke of Qin in the future, how can I not be worthy of her!"
Thinking of Princess Yongping's Yuehua Tower literary party, Zhang Shou couldn't help but chuckle: "Can you write eight-legged essay?"
