Chapter eight hundred and forty first scheming and ignorant
You know what the devil! Wu Dawei was confused. Ah Liu taught him the rules that he must abide by as a book boy. In the final analysis, it is just two words: obedient. He never said that he could let people take away the books in Zhang Shou's study.
thing!
Now no one else has come to ask what happened, which means that Zhang Chen is indeed Zhang Chen's student. However, what if Zhang Chen was ordered to supervise and test him to see if he is fulfilling his duties?
So, seeing Zhang Chen really serious about picking up the quill pen he specially made for Zhang Shou at the desk, Shi Shiran wrote a few words on the paper without asking how to use it, and started to leave, he quickly stepped away
He stopped in front of the other party again: "No, Sixth Brother told me not to let anyone touch anything in the Young Master's study!"
Zhang Chen didn't expect to meet such a stubborn boy. According to his previous temper, he would have ignored it and got angry. But this was at Zhang Shou's house, and people kept saying that it was Ah Liu's order, and he didn't want to
If you really go to confront Ah Liu...it's true that that kid won't take the bull by the horns, and he can't beat him!
Although his face darkened in annoyance, he immediately came up with an idea: "Okay, okay, you are the only one in this family who is conscientious and loyal! Come on, I'm going to the outer city public school to find a teacher. If you don't worry,
, just come with me!" He said this, but in his heart, he thought, after this kid goes, he can coax him to go to Jiuzhang Hall, and see those ghostly drawings and talismans that look like heavenly books, but he can't scare this kid to death!
Zhang Chen had a beautiful thought in his mind, but what he didn't see was that after the blond boy opposite him lowered his head for a moment, his face was not hesitant or hesitant, but... ecstasy!
You know, David Wu has really experienced the profound culture of this big Eastern country recently. Just those four-character idioms and corresponding allusions made him want to die, but the knowledge he is most interested in is arithmetic.
, Liang Jiucheng, who is known as a rich scholar, told him clearly, no!
Therefore, he was sitting on a treasure mountain but could not get any instruction, because he and Zhang Shou were in the study at completely different times. Although Zhang Shou's calculation papers were thrown away casually, he could read them casually. The problem was that he was so simple.
If you look at it, you can't understand it at all! He has been studying the Latin version of "Σtoixe?a" these days, but his self-study efficiency is really not high enough.
Of course, the most important thing is that he has never learned Latin at all, and he almost makes blind guesses when reading the content! But if someone teaches arithmetic, can he learn Latin faster in turn? However,
But he did not dare to take these words to Eunuch Liang of Liang Jiucheng who was as strict as the devil. At this time, Zhang Chen's words undoubtedly gave him a good opportunity.
Therefore, the blond boy shouted almost without thinking: "Okay, I will go to the public school with you!"
Zhang Chen thought he had a trick, so he walked out with a smile while holding the book, but he didn't know that Wu David, who was following him like a follower, was also feeling smug in his heart. However, as soon as the boy and the boy came out of the study, they saw
In the yard, Mother Jin was standing there with a smile.
Wu David is not particularly familiar with this person, because he usually works at two o'clock and one line at a time, and has little contact with other people in Zhang Yuan.
As for Zhang Chen, he doesn’t even know much more about Jin’s mother than Wu David, but he at least knows one thing very well, that is, the servants in Zhang Yuan, except for a group of children recruited by Zhang Shou from Rongshui Village, and Ah Liu who doesn’t know from
Where did I recruit a group of hard ideas, and the rest...
Many of them are people from Duke Zhao's Palace. Some were originally seconded, and some came with Zhu Ying as a dowry. Anyway, no matter how hard-headed he is, he will not mess with these former servants of Duke Zhao's Palace. That is not his family.
Those servants who listened to his father did not dare to disobey him. The servants of Zhao Guogong's mansion were neither humble nor arrogant when they went out to speak to anyone. They were very difficult to offend.
Therefore, he stepped forward and said politely: "I came to borrow some books from the teacher. Although I left a note, I plan to go to the public school to report it in person. Behind me is the teacher's book boy. He is worried.
He said he would go to public school with me."
Mother Jin glanced at David Wu thoughtfully, and when she saw the blond boy trying to straighten his chest and look at her, she smiled and said, "They say Mr. Zhang is eager to learn and make progress, and he really deserves his reputation. But Xiao Wu is doing his duty.
, but there is nothing wrong with that, just go to the public school with Mr. Zhang."
The whole family was relieved before they met. Mother Jin watched the two of them go out with a smile. Then she walked to the door of Zhang Shou's study, opened the door curtain and took a look. She made sure that everything on the bookshelf and desk inside was neat and orderly.
He gently lowered the door curtain.
Although this is the place where Zhang Shou reads and writes in his daily life, the really important things will of course not be stored in this outer study, but in the inner study in the same courtyard as Zhu Ying's main room. Now that they are married, those
Part of the document was kept by Zhu Ying, part by Ah Liu, and part of it... It is said that Zhang Shou burned it after he finished writing it.
She didn't think Zhang Shou was hiding this from Zhu Ying, because even if they were husband and wife, there would inevitably be some secrets between each other, not to mention that Zhang Shou had already made it clear, and even she knew it. But there was no confidential text in the study.
The rules seemed to make Zhang Shou very foresight. After all, even the emperor or other close people would not rashly go to the bedroom of the young couple in the inner courtyard.
Wu David followed Zhang Chen all the way out of Zhang Garden. When he saw someone jumping on his horse, he suddenly realized a very unpleasant fact - he couldn't ride a horse!
He is not one of those knight squires who was sent to study with superior nobles since he was a child. He has a carriage at home, but there is no horse for him to ride. It is not impossible to just walk to the public school in the outer city, but
The problem is that Zhang Chen and his party are all riding horses. He walked all the way. Even if it took a long time, his physical strength could keep up, but he ran all the way...
It would be strange if he was not exhausted to death!
As soon as Zhang Chen got on the horse, he noticed the confused expression on the blond boy's face. Although he was not a considerate character, he still had some cleverness. If he wanted to take the opportunity to throw the person off, he would
He just rode up and left with a whip, but he had just thought about taking people to the public school to learn about the arithmetic book that looked like ghostly drawings, but he would not do so now.
He was about to raise his voice and tell an attendant to take the boy with him, but at this moment, he saw the door of Zhang Yuan's stable opened and a carriage came out. The driver stepped forward with a smile and asked Zhang Chen
Okay, then he said: "Lao An told me that since we are going to the public school, let Xiao Wu take Bai Shanshan and Bai Xiaoshui with him."
"They came from Tongzhou yesterday and rested at home for a day. They originally said they would go to the public school tomorrow. But seeing that the public school is about to have a holiday, it is better to let them experience the learning atmosphere there as soon as possible."
Of course, Zhang Chen would never forget the people he and the Fourth Prince had taught in Baijiacun. When the coachman said this, he came to his senses. He smiled evilly and said to Wu David: "You kid is lucky, otherwise the third
Riding a horse is not a pleasant experience, so get in the car quickly!"
In his heart, Wu David said a thousand and ten thousand thanks to Lao An, whom he had never met twice in total - he would not take Zhang Chen's words as a pure scare. After all, what is it like to ride a horse for the first time?
Some of the people he once knew mentioned to him the pain of having his thighs worn out and limping when he walked.
Moreover, among the knights he had seen, there were quite a lot of bow-legged people!
However, when he reached the carriage and quickly got into the carriage, he heard two ghostly screams.
The next moment, the coachman opened the curtain and shouted to the two shivering children hugging each other inside: "What's your name? That's the young master's book boy Wu David. You two ignorant boys, people from overseas countries."
, many people look different from us, you can just get used to it in the future. If you stay in a small village like your hometown, you will only become more and more ignorant!"
The only trace of annoyance that David Wu had had just disappeared. Of course he knew that he was completely different from the people in this Eastern country in terms of skin color, hair color, and eye color. When he first arrived, the servants in his family were also surprised.
, so Zhang Shou, who treated him as an ordinary person, was overly calm.
So, when he saw that the two poor children quickly covered their mouths, but still looked at him with a little fear, he smiled kindly, then shrugged, pointed at himself and said, "Me too.
It has two eyes and one mouth, two ears and two legs, but it’s not three heads and six arms, so it’s not a monster.”
Bai Shanshan and Bai Xiaoshui saw that the other party spoke the same language as themselves, and it seemed that they were not monsters. In addition, they were scolded by the coachman. When they entered the capital for the first time, they were overwhelmed by all kinds of messy news.
They finally came to their senses slightly. Then, they, who were born in the countryside and are usually quite curious, showed their childish side.
The two people crawled up to Wu David. One curiously reached out and poked the person's arm, while the other cautiously reached out to pull the other person's hair. Faced with this kind of speechless temptation, Wu David finally
I couldn't help but lift them away one by one with one hand. But even so, this still couldn't drive away the two curious babies.
Although country children are naughty, they also know when to be soft and when to be hard. As soon as David Wu let go, the two of them hugged their legs, one hugged their arms, and the other asked little brother Wu.
talk.
"Brother Wu, where are you from? Is it really a far, far overseas place? Do all the people there have hair and eyes the same color as yours? Do you eat meat and drink blood..."
"Brother Wu, where do you speak the Ming language? Do you farm? Do you eat?"
If he had known that these two children were so curious and annoying, he would have just pretended to be a devil and scared them to death! David Wu found it extremely annoying, especially when people thought that Florence was a place where people drank hair and blood, and he couldn't even laugh or cry. But on second thought,
In the Eastern country where he is now, don't there also be many horrific versions of the stories passed down orally among the people in Florence?
There is not only the wealth and power of the East, but also the cunning and cruelty of the East. However, it was only when he arrived here that he discovered that the most common white bread and black bread there are not available here at all. The rich people eat white rice.
, As for the poor, it is said that some people mix bran into their rice, and there are also things like mushy wild vegetables that are said to be very scary.
So, whether in the West or the East, the chasm between the rich and the poor lies right there.
Wu David dealt with the two children absent-mindedly, and then he was really impatient with their reasons and simply asked them in turn. After all, from the driver's tone, he already knew that both of them were brought back by Zhang Shou just now.
, coming from some country, seems to lack knowledge.
And the two curious babies were also happy to tell people about things in their village. They were really asking questions, answering questions, or even answering questions. After a while, David Wu learned that the two of them came from ordinary farm families, and there was no serious person in the whole village.
There is a scholar who can trace his ancestry back, but he claims to be Bai Juyi, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty.
This kind of behavior of clinging to family members is not uncommon in Florence. After all, after some businessmen get rich, they will find ways to forge family genealogies in order to be related to some unparalleled nobles or even royal families. However, if ordinary citizens or even poor people even
The serfs dare to say that they are related by blood or even relatives to any celebrity...
The court will definitely let that stupid guy learn to be a good man! Poor people have no right to recognize their ancestors!
But seeing the proud faces of Bai Shanshan and Bai Xiaoshui, Wu Dawei couldn't question people's misidentification of their ancestors. At this moment, he heard Zhang Chen's lazy voice coming from outside.
: "There are so many people who mistakenly identify their ancestors since ancient times. Even the founding emperor often did this, let alone ordinary people."
"Bai Letian has been dead for hundreds of years anyway. He doesn't care about a bunch of descendants who kowtow incense and pay tribute to his portrait."
Zhang Chen outside the car didn't know that David Wu in the car was really struggling at the moment. He was just speaking out of emotion, because the only beating he received when he was a child was for questioning that his family tree could be traced all the way back.
Zhang Heng in the Han Dynasty was climbing a high branch. But after he finished saying this, he heard a weak voice coming from the car.
"Master Zhang, didn't they just talk about Bai Juyi? Who is Bai Letian?"
Only then did Zhang Chen realize that it was not only the two boys in the car, Bai Shanshan and Bai Xiaoshui, who were ignorant, but the boy in the car who was obviously from a foreign country was also ignorant! He snorted angrily: "
Bai Letian is Bai Juyi! Bai Juyi is his name, his courtesy name is Letian, his nickname is Xiangshan Jushi, and his posthumous title is Wen, so whether it is Bai Letian, Bai Xiangshan, or Bai Wengong..."
"It's all about Bai Juyi. Remember, don't make a joke!"
Wu David in the car couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and once again thought of some of the big shots in the capital that Liang Jiucheng had taught. This is like some nobles or big shots in Western countries. One title is not enough, but there are two, three, and four...
...It’s annoyingly long, and there are also protectors of such-and-such city, owners of such-and-such place, as if they are afraid that others will not know how great they are!
