This is the first time I know that my third brother is such a terrible person. This plan is simply...
In the past, he was sarcastic and sarcastic. Although this little fat guy would get annoyed and angry, he still fought back a little and didn't try to trick him. That was really a sign of mercy!
This was what Lu Dalang and Lu Erlang had in mind almost at the same time when they left the study under Lu Wan's glare. And when they went out one after another, they saw Mrs. Lu standing outside the door with a stern look on her face, her eyes clearly displeased.
I was looking at two bad brothers who bullied their younger brothers. The two brothers felt extremely wronged. We apologized and we will never dare to do it again. Isn’t this enough?
Of course, Mrs. Lu would not scold her son outside her husband's study. She gestured for them to leave, and then she went in directly. When she broke in, she originally planned to have a good discussion with the little fat man about the ownership of Jiuzhang Hall.
Lu Wan immediately shut up. However, before any of the three could speak, a hurried shouting came from outside.
"Third Young Master, Third Young Master!"
He and his wife were here, but outside they were shouting "Third Young Master". Not to mention the evil fire in Lu Wan's heart. However, the next moment, he saw the little fat man rushing to the door with an agility rare for a fat person.
He asked in a very matter-of-fact manner: "What are you yelling about? My father and mother are both here. If you disturb them by yelling, can you afford it?"
The follower who was sent out by Lu Sanlang to deliver the "gift" was stunned for a moment, and then quickly apologized: "I was just confused for a moment and forgot about it, so I ask the master and madam to forgive me... That's it, the four Mr. Ye
After leaving our Lu family, we didn't return to the inn at all, so the third young master asked the younger one to deliver the book, but the book really couldn't be delivered..."
This time, the little fat man suddenly changed his expression. He took great pains to perform such a scene of repaying evil with kindness regardless of past grudges, but he actually failed? Impossible, he arranged it before the banquet was over. This is a gift
Shu's personal entourage almost followed the four people who left the Lu family and went out. How could they not catch up? Did people fly with wings?
Lu Sanlang, who had just seemed very amiable in front of his father and brothers, suddenly showed a fierce look in his eyes and asked fiercely: "What the hell is going on? Don't tell me, why don't you go and find out more!"
Facing the fierce face of the third young master, the follower couldn't help but take a step back. When he heard the laughter coming from behind, it seemed that it was the eldest young master and the second young master he had just bumped into at the entrance of the courtyard, and his face turned pale.
If the eldest and second young masters saw this joke, the third young master would have to punish him to death!
He did not dare to waste time and hurriedly explained: "Of course I have tried every means to find out... It was Dr. Zhang, the teacher of the third young master. Dr. Zhang led people on horseback to catch up with the four of them, and then he kindly invited them to Zhang Garden.
It’s over there.”
Lu Sanlang, who had a fierce look on his face just now, seemed to have set up a trap for me, and he would fight to the death with him. When he heard that it was Zhang Shou, Lu Sanlang stopped him halfway and packed up all four of them and took them into Zhang Yuan.
Suddenly, a very strange expression appeared on his face. After a moment of silence, he burst into laughter.
"Otherwise, why is he the teacher and I am the student? This move is once and for all, beautiful! Well, in that case, you can send the box of books directly to Zhang Yuan. It is said that arithmetic talents are rare. We met for the first time today.
This is a sincere gift from me, and these are the works of senior mathematicians, so please accept them."
"I know that the teacher also has these books, but after all, there is only one set. Unlike me who runs a bookstore, I have at least ten or eight sets of all books. The teacher can only lend a single set of books to others.
, you can’t just give it away like this, so let me, a student, give it to him on his behalf. We are all on the same journey, so why should we be polite?”
Speaking of this, Lu Sanlang deliberately took a look behind him, and saw that there was no longer a figure at the courtyard gate. Apparently his two brothers heard that Zhang Shou had picked up someone to go to Zhang Garden, and they couldn't see the joke.
So he walked away in despair. He smiled and made a gesture to send people away. Seeing that his entourage hurriedly stepped back with relief, he turned around and returned to the house.
Seeing his parents standing side by side, his father was full of sighs, and his mother was very happy. He stepped forward with a smile and said: "In the past, I only assessed those classmates and juniors who wanted to apply for Jiuzhang Hall. Today, I really got to know my peers. The results
It’s really better to meet someone than to be famous. It’s another matter what the level is, but the vision is really very narrow.”
Lu Wan couldn't see the smug look on the little fat man's face the most. He glared and wanted to scold him, but Mrs. Lu directly interrupted him: "Sanlang, you got Jiazhi today. The emperor even came to see you in person. What's wrong with you?"
Showing your excellent arithmetic skills in front of others is a blessing. But the more you do it, the more you have to guard against arrogance and impetuosity."
The warning that he often said in the past was given by his wife today, and Lu Wan was immediately surprised. However, he turned his head to look at his wife, who always favored the fat son, and saw Mrs. Lu's mouth curled up, and then she said:
He said sincerely: "Today so many of your classmates came to cheer you up, and even Jiuzhangtang happened to be taking a break. Shouldn't you, the chief of the church, come out to thank everyone?"
"Furthermore, since Dr. Zhang has invited everyone to Zhang Yuan, you should take everyone there with you, together with Ye Mengqiu and the other four people, and let everyone have a good discussion and study. If you spread the word, it will be better than sending it to you."
A great story about books being stronger!”
Ouch, dear mother, this move of yours is just adding fuel to the fire... No, it's the icing on the cake, it's really wonderful!
Lu Sanlang was immediately elated. He quickly took a step back and bowed with a big bow: "Son, thank you very much for your mother's teaching. Let's go now!"
Before she could say a word, she saw the little fat man running out of the house again with that nimble pace. Lu Wan had no choice but to tug at her small beard, and without any surprise, several strands were pulled off.
Before he had time to feel distressed, he heard Mrs. Lu's voice from the side.
"It is said that when brothers work together, they can cut through gold. I think when it comes to Sanlang, it is when teachers and students work together and they can cut through metal. Look at Sanlang's crowning ceremony today. All the classmates are sitting there neatly and majestically.
You looked so high-spirited. It was right for you to abandon the mess of the Central War Department and start a new one. Although I was not able to be present at the crowning ceremony today, I heard people talk about the scene at that time..."
"The only thing I can think of is that some people really make their brains stupid by reading! There are also some people who are not stupid but pretend to be stupid!"
Mrs. Lu is usually like an ordinary woman with long hair and short knowledge, but at this time, Lu Wan felt sad when she heard these last two comments. However, after Mrs. Lu finished speaking and went out, he just
A most important question comes to mind.
What on earth is my wife here for? It seems like she just came to watch some fun and remind her fat son?
Lu Sanlang didn't think much about what problems his biological father and mother would have when they were already an old married couple - even if Mrs. Lu usually obeyed Lu Wan, she was unambiguous at critical moments, especially his father.
Don't even think about breaking the bottom line in some aspects.
He went out and hurried to Xiao's house, which was the dormitory of Jiuzhangtang. When he arrived at the end of the field, he found that the door of Liu's house next door was open. He suddenly thought of another important thing and quickly gave up the idea of going straight to Xiao's house and arrived at Liu's house first.
He climbed down from his horse with difficulty after entering the door, then went to the door with a smile and called out: "Is Mr. Liu at home?"
"The master just came back...I said the voice sounded familiar. It turned out to be Mr. Lu, please come in."
Zhou came out with a smile to say hello, and after inviting Lu Sanlang in, she smiled and said: "When I came back, I told you about the grand ceremony of the prince's crown ceremony today. If I had known that it would be such a climax, I would have gone to watch the excitement."
"What are the climaxes? It's because arithmetic has declined in these years, so that not only are there a few talents here and there, but the works of our predecessors can't even be found. Speaking of which, we are all fallen people in the world, and we should pity each other when we meet.
"
The little fat man shook his head like a pity, but after passing the second door, he saw Liu Zhiyuan suddenly coming out of the study, looking at him with a playful look on his face, with an expression on his face as if you are going to continue to fool me. He knew that the old man had been fooled by him before.
After a while, now that he had spent more time in the capital and had come to his senses, he was no longer as easy to fool as before, so he laughed and hurried forward to greet him.
"The old gentleman went to attend my crowning ceremony today, and I didn't even have time to say thank you. It was really a neglect."
Seeing that Liu Zhiyuan seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Lu Sanlang was not embarrassed, and continued to say a few words to himself, until Mr. Zhou couldn't stand it any longer, shook his head and quietly retreated, then he coughed.
He said seriously: "Old sir, actually I came here today because I have something to discuss with you."
"As you know, Xiao Cheng's place next door is occupied by more than 20 students enrolled in the second phase of Jiuzhangtang, and all the rooms are already full. Now, my classmates in the first phase of Jiuzhangtang, whether they are
Those who went to Xuanda University or to the Guanglu Temple of the Ministry of Revenue to check the accounts have all returned. Although there are still people living in the Imperial College dormitory, it is not convenient after all."
"The number of students in the first batch is small. I just want to ask you, can your family accommodate them? You know, most of my classmates are short of money. The environment and food in the Imperial College are really...
It’s hard to describe in words…”
Before Lu Sanlang vividly described the poor accommodation conditions in the Imperial College, Liu Zhiyuan coughed angrily: "I also worked as a clerk in the Imperial College back then, so you don't have to cry hard about being poor and miserable."
This old gentleman is simply getting better and better. He was so easy to deceive when he first returned to Beijing. Now he actually knows the words "crying for poverty and selling out for misery"... Lu Sanlang muttered a few words in his heart, but his face became more and more sincere, as if he was under the influence of others.
It seems like I will kneel down if you don't agree to it for a moment.
Sure enough, under his sincere eyes, Liu Zhiyuan finally said calmly: "My teachers and students originally lent me this house without charging a penny. Now that I have a few more tenants, you can ask me this too."
What do tenants do?”
Seeing that Lu Sanlang was suddenly anxious, as if he wanted to explain, the tall old man waved his hand and said: "Okay, no need to say so much, I agreed to this matter. Jiuzhangtang are all people who are diligent in doing things and diligent in doing things.
Students who are studying, I also hope that there will be more such energetic people in this empty place. After you make arrangements, just tell Mr. Zhou."
Although he knew that Liu Zhiyuan would agree to it in nine out of ten cases, the little fat man was still overjoyed when he actually agreed. Jiuzhangtang's second period and the first period had different circumstances. Although he repeatedly made concessions and Qi Liang was used to appease people,
The originally impetuous thoughts of my classmates finally calmed down, but they could not let the brothers who were only one year apart from each other get into trouble with each other.
Living so next to each other, everyone can interact with each other, and many problems can be easily solved! So, he thanked Liu Zhiyuan again and again, and then went out to the Xiao family next door. Not long after, he summoned the people who had returned here.
The second-term junior fellow students came out in large numbers and cheered. As soon as this large group of people left, Xiao Cheng, who was alone next door and was bored, slipped over quietly.
He originally wanted to play with Mrs. Zhou, but at this time Mrs. Zhou was already in the kitchen preparing dinner. When he saw Liu Zhiyuan standing alone in front of the door with his hands behind his hands, he quickly went up and called Mr. Liu. However, he
However, there was no response for a long time. It took him a long time before he saw Liu Zhiyuan come to his senses, and then he reached out and touched his head.
Although Liu Zhiyuan was unsmiling outside, Xiao Cheng, who had been a neighbor for many years, was not afraid of him at all. Not only did he pull the person's sleeve, but he also said softly: "Mr. Liu, I just heard Brother Lu say that he is
Take people to Zhang Yuan to discuss arithmetic problems with Brother Zhang and some people? Maybe I won’t come back for dinner and bed.”
"Don't they usually learn this in Jiuzhangtang? Why are they making such a big splash today?"
"The idiom is used well." Liu Zhiyuan sighed and touched Xiao Cheng's head again, "That's their teachers and students building momentum."
"Building momentum? What is momentum?" Xiao Cheng is now good at reading and writing, and has also learned a lot of idioms and poems, but he still doesn't understand some words very well, and his face was filled with confusion.
"Building momentum means...your brother Zhang hopes to create an atmosphere in which arithmetic needs to be inclusive and eclectic, but also to innovate, and then when astronomical talents gather in the capital this time, he will attract those who are not so old-fashioned.
Isolate those who stick to the old ways, and now this is a process of screening, lobbying and influence, do you understand?"
Seeing that Xiao Cheng still looked confused, Liu Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh. He told a little guy that this was almost related to the issue of cliques, and he was also confused. As the old saying goes, a gentleman can't party... But in many cases, the lone minister's
The living space is too small.
Zhang Shou didn't know that Liu Zhiyuan had classified his actions into the category of forming a party. In fact, he didn't even know about Lu Sanlang's own initiative. The reason why he intercepted the person on the way and took him to Zhang Yuan was because he naturally
It was because he made the decision after observing the words and deeds of Ye Mengqiu and the other three people during the crowning ceremony of Lu Sanlang.
What a waste it would be if we didn't pick them up and give them a try to re-educate just four senior fellow apprentices who had fallen into ruin and were so pitiful that they couldn't even calculate sutras and could only read the books handwritten by their ancestors!
However, he just took people to the workshop to see the lenses being ground when he heard a loud bang. His first reaction was that there was an earthquake, but when he squatted on the ground subconsciously, he saw a figure in front of him.
He dodged, and immediately followed, he soared into the clouds and mist like the wind on his wings. When he finally saw the sun, he heard Ah Liu's annoyed voice: "It exploded again!"
