Faced with this most obvious picture of exhaustion, Zhang Shou hooked his hand at Ah Liu behind him. Seeing Ah Liu leading the horse carrying the book box without saying a word, he
He smiled and said, "Go over and give each person a book."
Seeing a young attendant beside Zhang Shou easily taking a large bookbox from a horse with one hand and walking towards them, almost everyone immediately cheered up. Those who were sitting stood up, and those who were leaning against the wall stood up.
After straightening their backs, some people cleared their throats vigorously, preparing to say the lines they had not used before.
However, when Ah Liu walked up to them, before they could speak because of their nervousness, Ah Liu opened the box expressionlessly and began to hand out the books one by one. Everyone was stunned on the spot. Someone took it stiffly.
Some people wanted to reject the book forcefully, but the result was that Ah Liu directly stuffed the book into the person's lapel. His movements were so fast that it was impossible to resist.
When the circle was finished, Ah Liu looked at the book box and shouted to Zhang Shou: "Master, there are three more books."
"Then you can keep it for now." Zhang Shou agreed, and when Ah Liu came over to help him, he dismounted and stepped forward.
"Since you all admire the teacher, the teacher will give each of you a copy of his new work. Please go back and study it carefully. If you can do all the exercises at the end of each book, you can really pat your chest and say, I am learning arithmetic."
There has been some success.”
After saying this, he said sincerely: "The art of arithmetic is broad and profound, so the teacher once said to me that his greatest pride in his life is not that he is the most outstanding person in the world, nor is he a role model for others. In the world, people are proficient in arithmetic. So, it is better to do it than to say it. If you can solve the problem, it is worse than you saying thousands of sentences here!"
"The teacher hopes that everyone who is proficient in arithmetic can carry forward his knowledge!"
In the yard inside the gate of Ge Mansion, Ge Yong glanced at his old friend Qi Jingshan who was thoughtful next to him, and suddenly he got angry and cursed: "This stinky boy, you just use my name to deceive people.
When he comes in later, I have to teach him a lesson! It’s good to play tricks on those impure-minded guys outside, but this kid played tricks on me too, and I’m so angry!”
The first time he boasted to Qi Jingshan that Zhang Shou came to see him as soon as he came to Beijing, and when he also boasted to the old man Qi that Zhang Shou could deal with those noble disciples and those people who were noisy outside the door, Zhang Shou waved his sleeves and left...
When Zhang Shou left and returned for the second time, he told the old man that he must be well prepared this time and would look good to those guys outside the door. When Zhang Shou passed by again, he pulled Zhu Ying and left again.
!
This was the third time I took a serious step, and the result was that I gave one of those books signed by Ge Yong to each person!
This is the first time he has encountered such a bold disciple in so many years as a teacher!
Free reading, and the gift was Taishi Ge's book, and what he expressed was Taishi Ge's ardent hope. Everyone had different expressions for a while.
After saying those very sincere words, Zhang Shou bowed politely.
"According to the teacher's original intention, he naturally wanted to give a set of six books to everyone who likes arithmetic. However, the teacher was short of money, and his disciples even took the initiative to help him print the book, so this book was postponed to a few days ago.
It has just been published."
"And the bookstore will not do it for free. Even if the teacher buys it himself, a book will cost hundreds of texts. So, when everyone gathered here just now, he could only ask the concierge to give me a hint and immediately go to the bookstore to buy these books.
Bought it. If I pass by twice and you still haven’t dispersed, then it proves that you really like arithmetic, so I will give each of you a copy. I hope you will not waste your talents."
"Of course, the teacher's new books, a set of six volumes and 2 taels of silver, are really expensive. People who like arithmetic may not be able to afford them. If there are still people who come to visit and study in the future, the teacher will ask Sansan Bookstore to give them to them.
With a little bit of paper, I borrowed books for everyone to copy, so those books are considered worthy of their place."
At this moment, even Zhu Ying, who later learned that Zhang Shou had not seen Ge Yong for several days, unknowingly believed Zhang Shou's nonsense, let alone others.
It has to be said that the young husband, dressed in civilian clothes and black shoes, who is clean and tidy, is easy to make people trust, not to mention Zhang Shou's handsome appearance and his kind and amiable smile, which is like an immortal.
After a long period of silence, a middle-aged man suddenly burst into tears.
"I can't help Taishi Ge's kindness! Someone heard that I don't need an abacus and can do mental calculations quickly, so they gave me a lot of money and hired me to cause trouble. They also said that if I was caught, they would take out my
Come on! I've been kicked out of two accounting offices, and I've never met a good person like Taishi Ge! I will never forget the gift of the book!"
Compared with this middle-aged man who knelt down and kowtowed while crying, with tears streaming down his face, some of the others were embarrassed, some were ashamed, and more of them were holding books in their arms, silently bowing deeply towards the gate of Ge Mansion, and then quietly
He bowed his head and left.
Then Zhang Shou stepped forward to comfort the crying middle-aged man: "What is your name? Where do you live?"
After asking, he followed his lead and said: "If the person who instructs you blames you for not being able to accomplish anything, just come here and say it. Naturally, Teacher Ge will make the decision for you. There are very few people in the world who are talented in arithmetic. Why?
Can you be used as a chess piece and manipulated at will? Since you can't be a bookkeeper, you can come to Rongshui Village on the outskirts of Beijing to find me in the future. I will live at the entrance of the village..."
This kind of guy who can do mental arithmetic faster than abacus actually keeps losing his job as a bookkeeper. He must have some serious problems with his temperament or other aspects. But no matter what, he is worth recruiting.
Seeing Zhang Shou send this middle-aged man, who was the first to admit being instigated and the only one to admit being instigated by others, and finally thanked him profusely, to leave. As the front door of Ge Mansion gradually became deserted, Zhu Ying hurriedly got out.
Immediately, he glanced at Zhang Shou with a smile, and then made gestures with the concierge.
After a long while, she turned around and said with a smile: "Grandpa Ge took in a lot of people with bad ears. These people took turns to be concierges. I also learned sign language for a while. Otherwise, what if this happens one day?
They’ll be bored to death by a bunch of visitors!”
Seeing Zhang Shou's stunned expression, she asked with interest: "By the way, Ah Shou, are you thinking that Grandpa Ge has some secrets that he doesn't want others to know, so you raise a group of people like this?
"
Zhang Shou couldn't help but laugh and cry: "How could the teacher do such a thing? According to his arithmetic skills, if you don't want others to know a secret, you only need to use a little arithmetic knowledge to write cipher text, and then use the cipher text to write letters or write notes.
In this way, even if someone gets his paperwork and tries their best to figure it out, they will never be able to figure out what he really wants to say."
At this point, he paused slightly and said: "What I just thought is that the sign language is different in different regions. I didn't understand a word of the gesture you just made to the concierge."
I think back then, he had been a volunteer for a while, but he was so dizzy that he didn't understand Zhu Ying's gesture just now...
Zhu Ying didn't expect that Zhang Shou, who just looked at him as if he was in a daze, was actually thinking about sign language, and couldn't help but find it very interesting. But before she could make a few more gestures to explain to Zhang Shou, she heard Ge Yong coming from the door.
loud voice.
"You two are addicted to staying outside the door, aren't you? Why don't you come in quickly!"
