In the eyes of others, Ji Jiu's life was very prosperous. Zhang Chen, Zhu Er, Zhang Wu, Zhang Lu and others were all absent, and they did not participate in the branch examination of Banshan Hall, so he was firmly seated in the first hall.
As a young man, and because he had been praised by Zhang Shou before, even his father, who had always regarded him as a mediocre bastard, now looked at him a little more kindly.
However, only he knew that his current life as the chief of the first class was not good at all!
Zhang Shou was not here, so the Eunuch Chu, who was the Supervisor of Ceremonies, no longer needed him to take notes and submit them to the imperial review. As a result, the only contact he had with the palace was cut off. As for the new transfer to give the first lecture
Although the teacher was obviously selected by the emperor from among the young officials, and his lectures on history could be considered humorous, he only briefly touched on many key moments and did not dare to comment lightly.
As for those who come to the arithmetic class... can they be more qualified? They are basically the supervisors of Jiuzhang Hall who come part-time. Sometimes they can meet Lu Sanlang, the head of Jiuzhang Hall, to come in person, but that's not much better. Because
These guys have one thing in common, that is, they are regarded as math geniuses. If they are not careful, their progress will soar so fast that even his brain can hardly keep up!
Not to mention other people, it was really hard to learn, and I was afraid of being laughed at by the poor disciples of Jiuzhang Hall!
Alas, when will Dr. Zhang, a serious teacher, return to the Imperial College? Or, as the rumors say, Zhang Shou has gained great popularity and support in Cangzhou, so he does not plan to come back and plans to serve as the magistrate of Cangzhou in the future? Yesterday, people
When he came back, it was said that he was summoned to the palace, and even had the honor of climbing Long Live Mountain and having food in the palace, but no one came back to the Imperial College to see him!
At this time, the teacher who was giving the lecture had left, and Ji Jiu was lying on the desk very gracefully. But at this moment, he suddenly found that he was taking a break between classes, and the noisy room suddenly fell silent.
He was so startled that he thought it was Xu Heizi who suddenly came to patrol, and hurriedly stood up and sat up straight. But just by looking at it, he who was sitting in the first row found that a completely unexpected person appeared at the door. It turned out to be...
...Zhang Shou!
After the initial daze, Ji Jiu almost jumped up and rushed to the door as fast as he could. Then he bowed respectfully and said: "I heard that the teacher left the palace yesterday evening and the emperor gave him leave. I'll wait for you."
I have no choice but to ignore my studies and go see you during the day. Originally, we had agreed to go to Zhangyuan in the evening after school, but I didn’t expect that you would come here regardless of your hard work over the past few months."
Ji Jiu's words were so beautiful that they couldn't be more beautiful... Although he insisted on making an appointment with all the prison students in the class to go and see the teacher in the evening, everyone else knew that this was not the case at all, but who would expose such a harmless lie at this time?
So, a large number of people stood up in a noisy manner, and immediately gathered around Zhang Shou, saluting and saying hello. They all acquiesced in Ji Jiu's nonsense and claimed that they should go to Zhang Yuan to see him.
In comparison, Zhang Shou still prefers the students in Jiuzhang Hall who hold their heads high and face the homework check. However, he also knows that the students in Banshan Hall and those in Jiuzhang Hall have different backgrounds and cannot be generalized.
The soldiers calmly came to block it, and the water came and the soil covered it up. After asking Ji Jiu a few questions about his homework, he saw someone with a smile on his face and said everything was fine, so he nodded.
"Since you are used to it, that's good. I'll go to the second and third classes to have a look."
Ji Jiu didn't expect that Zhang Shou would actually leave right after he arrived, and he immediately felt regretful. But then he thought that even if he had something to say, he couldn't say it at this time. Seeing Zhang Shou turn around, he hurriedly shouted: "Teacher, you have just returned to Beijing."
, why don’t we prepare some wine to wash your dust tonight..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Shou, who had already walked out of the door, waved his hand gently: "It's enough for you to have this heart. As for washing the dust, there is no need. I returned to Beijing yesterday and I should wash my hands."
The dust has been washed away. If you study hard and are worthy of the emperor's care for you, that will be enough."
Not to mention how Ji Jiu regretted it in his heart, but most of the others were satisfied. He behaved like a good student, and Zhang Shou seemed to be very satisfied, so that’s it? They are the ones who can be in the first class now.
He is a typical example of a prodigal son, and his status in the family has also improved. As for whether he will be like Zhang Wu, Zhang Lu and a lucky guy named Zhao, it depends on chance.
Seeing Ji Jiu trying so hard to flatter him, his grades can be considered top-notch, but apart from the title of chief, what else did he get? As for the problem of the new teachers now, no one thinks there is any use in complaining.
Zhang Shou saw the insincerity of Ji Jiu's words - although he admitted that Ji Jiu was indeed a talented person with a lot of crooked ideas, his favorable impression of this extremely slippery boy who was also associated with Chu Kuan was limited -
But he just pretended not to see it. When he arrived at the third hall, before he could say anything, he saw the third son of Xiangyang Bo, the big man Zhang Wuji, rushing up to him.
"Teacher, have you returned to the Imperial College?" Zhang's face was full of surprise, and he even rubbed his eyes, and then shouted, "I will no longer treat you as a Doctor of Imperial College. Everyone outside has spread rumors.
You want to be the magistrate of Cangzhou... maybe even the magistrate of Cangzhou!"
Zhang Shou was not surprised that big guy Zhang actually called him "teacher" sincerely. You must know that if he hadn't made a special trip to the Xiangyang uncle's house, this kid would have been beaten to death!
At this moment, he pretended to be surprised and said: "Hey, there are so many rumors?"
Seeing that the other students in the third class were also getting up in different ways, but compared with the enthusiastic students in the first class, they were obviously a little more reluctant and not as enthusiastic as Big Zhang, so he naturally knew it.
The least promising people in the Banshan Hall were all eliminated, and the emperor threw them directly to the Ruiqi Camp for training. However, those assigned to the third hall inevitably felt that they were not among the best, and that they were more than better than those above, so they were not as good as those below.
He no longer had the ambition to make progress - just like most middle school students in every class in later generations also had this mentality. So, he changed his mind and suddenly patted the big guy on the shoulder.
"I heard from Xu Jiancheng that you have been working hard every day, studying hard, and you are among the best. Yes, if I meet Uncle Xiangyang later, I will definitely praise him for raising a good son who knows his mistakes and can correct them."
Zhang Datou didn't expect that Zhang Shou would pay attention to him, and that Xu Heizi, a ruthless and complaining guy, would say good things about him! He looked out the door in surprise and joy, and saw Xu Heizi's face full of surprise.
, he just felt that this black-faced person did not expect Zhang Shouhui to directly betray the behavior of saying good things to people, and immediately said with a smile on his face: "Every time I learn a lesson, I will gain wisdom. I will always have a better memory."
"That's right, you can correct your mistakes and do good. Keep up the good work and maybe you can be promoted to the first class by the end of the year."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the room that had just been a little commotion. Zhang Big Guy turned out to be the chief of the third hall. Since this appointment was announced, they have been stunned. After all, people are divided.
The results of the class exam were almost invalidated, and the final result announced was also very reluctant, but it was different from Ji Jiu who also ranked among the best in the first class.
It was even more incredible to them when they found out that Zhang Datou had been ranked among the top three in every monthly exam in the past few months. If Zhang Shou hadn't been away, the teacher who gave the questions and the invigilator was Xu Heizi, they would have felt that
There's something fishy inside!
And now, Zhang Shou actually said that this big and fierce guy in the past might be promoted to court at the end of the year?
Zhang Datou was simply surprised and delighted. He was always a straightforward person. At this moment, he immediately responded loudly: "Teacher, don't worry, I will definitely live up to your expectations! Not only the homework in the third class, dad also sent people these days
Taught me how to practice martial arts, I practiced hard for an hour every day, and then I found that after practicing, the effect was actually good!"
As he spoke, he showed off the strong muscles on his arms: "I used to be able to hit three people, but now I can hit at least five or six people!"
Everyone around was silent once again, and then some people couldn't help but put their hands to cover their faces. Such a big man knew how to bully others with his strength. In the past, he could not do anything without being a man of martial arts. Why did he fall in the eyes of Zhang Shou?
?
However, instead of being annoyed, Zhang Shou actually laughed and said: "I have always thought, how could you not be able to practice martial arts with such a big guy like you? Practice hard, even if it is to strengthen your body! Let me compete with you
If you have a strong and ruthless heart and focus on making achievements, you will definitely achieve great success in the future! Work hard on yourself, you can do it, I am very optimistic about you!"
If those people in the future generations hear the words "I am optimistic about you", they will secretly curl their lips, thinking that this is just a useless empty talk. However, at this moment, Zhang Shou has a strong lucky halo that will bring good luck to anyone who is optimistic about you.
Under the blessing, a lot of people were envious and jealous. Big guy Zhang himself was laughing so hard that he wanted to nod his head to the ground.
When Zhang Shou walked out of the house, Xu Heijun who came up to him couldn't help but asked: "When did I ever praise that big guy to you?"
Zhang Shou laughed and said nonchalantly: "Brother Xu, why do you care about these little things? People who have been scolded and scolded since childhood need more affirmation and praise, and if he can be set as a benchmark, then he
When you are ecstatic, you will unconsciously move closer to the real benchmark. There will be a glimmer of hope for success in the future."
This is Zhang Shou's own personal experience. His English teacher in junior high school was terrible, and his high school English teacher was terrible in character. The only thing they had in common was that they spared no effort to defeat him. Therefore, when he took the college entrance examination, English became a shortcoming that hindered him. And in college,
The head of the English department didn't know where he fell in love with him, but he praised him all the time. As a result, he not only graduated from a second college, but also passed the CET-8 exam.
Of course, this trick will not work for the arrogant and self-righteous guys like the eldest prince and the second prince. Guys like this who have been praised to the end since childhood are actually in need of scolding and punishment!
Xu Heijun found Zhang Shou's statement new at first. After all, no matter when or where, a person's qualifications can be seen from an early age, not to mention Zhang Big's father, Xiangyang Bo Zhang Qiong.
Even the elders who are the heads of other families are like this. The bastard has the qualifications and ability to cultivate a thing or two, but if it is not good, then just throw it aside.
There is no mother clan to rely on, and no family support. When such people grow up, most of them will be just trash waiting to die. Who would spend more energy on such people?
He pondered for a moment, and when he followed Zhang Shou to the second class, which was more of a small class, he probed: "Is it possible that Dr. Zhang wants to give hope to these people who were not valued at home in the past?"
"Have I not been giving them hope?" Zhang Shou turned his head and smiled at Xu Heijun, "Not to mention Zhang Chen, who is uniquely endowed by nature, Lu Sanlang, Zhang Wu, Zhang Lu, Zhu Er, Ji Jiu... now
Adding in the big guy Zhang Wuji, it’s not too much. It’s just that compared to the previous ones, the big guy’s experience is more tortuous and his qualifications are slightly inferior. It all depends on him.”
Xu Heitun was amazed. When he followed Zhang Shou into the second class, he found that it looked like an interest class for piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so he didn't stay any longer.
Zhang Shou turned around and saw that Banshan Hall was now on the right track, so he returned to Jiuzhang Hall. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lu Sanlang standing on the podium, with a proud and proud attitude, which was obvious.
, people have already figured out the topic!
Sure enough, as soon as he saw him, the cheerful little fat man ran up to him and said with a smile: "Teacher, I have already made it, and the other two have also made it!"
It took him less than two-quarters of an hour to come up with such a big question. For Lu Sanlang, Zhang Shou knew it was nothing, because this kid had long ago expanded his proficiency in plane geometry to
He taught himself solid geometry, and he was still the only one who got his lectures and answered questions, and then taught on his own. But the other two actually did it, and he felt a little surprised.
After all, compared with the solid geometry part of Jiuzhang arithmetic, which is mainly a variety of practical calculations such as volume calculations, real solid geometry is a kind of thinking transformation. Those high school students who have learned plane geometry well will complain when they get started.
What's more, these adults have only started to be exposed to mathematics system education last year, and their thinking has already been fixed?
At that moment, Zhang Shou smiled and asked: "Since you are so smiling, I guess you have already read the answers of your two junior brothers?"
Lu Sanlang's grin widened: "I've seen it, and it's exactly the same as my answer. I think it's correct!"
Although Lu Sanlang was not humble at all, Zhang Shou knew this boy's talent. After receiving the three pieces of paper presented as if they were gifts, he reviewed the answer process one by one, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"Yes, you did it right!" This was a big question about solid geometry that he remembered deeply in the college entrance examination! Although these students were studying hard during the holidays, and they didn't learn anything except mathematics, so they didn't need to do anything else.
I am distracted by subjects, but my receptive ability and learning progress show that my talent is considerable!
What's more, this is a class taught by Lu Sanlang on behalf of a teacher, not by him in person!
Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "Next, the second phase of Jiuzhang Hall will recruit students. At that time, the number of teachers will be limited. You senior brothers can take turns teaching the junior brothers in the future. I am at home for the past three days on vacation. Lu Sanlang, you
I’ll sort out everyone’s homework later and send it to Zhang Yuan, I want to take a look.”
