Prime Minister

Chapter 27 The second brother cheated on me again

The night in the mountains is deep and quiet, and only a lonely lamp in the thatched hut shines far and near.

Now is the time when the autumn cold and dew are heavy. Although there are few mosquitoes, it will be cold after nightfall.Guo Lin and Zhang Yue ate half of the pancake, and then Guo Lin lit a lamp to read.

Zhang Yue had only read five or six pages, and the eyelids were fighting, and he couldn't stand it anymore.

Seeing this, Guo Lin said earnestly and earnestly: "Junior brother, learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. We copied the book for a day, and the homework must be pulled down. If we don't read it at this time, what should we do?"

Zhang Yue nodded and said, "Senior brother is right... I can save..."

Zhang Yue yawned twice as he spoke, making Guo Lin speechless and helpless again.

Zhang Yue vigorously read a few pages of the book again.

Seeing Zhang Yue's inability to persevere, Guo Lin said bitterly: "I know that my younger brother is talented and intelligent, and I have read it... I don't forget to read, but relying on talent and talent blindly, sooner or later, it will be exhausted..."

Zhang Yue nodded and said: "Senior brother said that the so-called talent made in heaven is a hundred-one talent combined with a hundred-ninety-nine hard work..."

"One hundred one talent and one hundred ninety nine hard work..." Guo Lin pondered these words, his junior is really a genius, and just a single sentence has such a deep meaning.

Guo Lin thought, "Yes, even if my junior brother is smarter than me, but I work hard, is it really worse than him?"
Guo Lin said happily, "It would be nice if my junior brother could understand this, so..."

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yue said again: "However, that hundred-one talent is better than one hundred and ninety-nine hard work... It's not that material, no matter how hard you work, it's useless... Brother, I'm tired, anyway, I have read more than ten pages of the book, and I'm sleeping." back!"

After speaking, Zhang Yue covered the book and went to sleep.

Guo Lin was speechless after reading Zhang Yue's last words for a long time: "I slept while reciting, I have never heard of this way of reading."

"Junior brother..." Guo Lin saw that Zhang Yue had fallen asleep between his breaths, and couldn't help but sigh at Zhang Yue's ability to fall asleep when he lay down, "...At least wash up before going to bed... It seems that junior brother is really tired. ."

In fact, Guo Lin was not tired. He set off for Zhang Clan School early in the morning, copied books for a day, and only returned home at this hour, feeling extremely tired both physically and mentally.But Guo Lin understood that if he did his daily homework, he would easily become tired and lazy.

"Learning is like rowing upstream!"

Guo Lin encouraged himself. When he was extremely tired, Guo Lin got up and splashed the noodles with cold water from the soil basin...

This familiar taste...

Why didn't Junior Brother even let go of the pot in the corner...

The next day.

The two brothers got up.

Zhang Yue saw Guo Lin's tired look and asked, "Senior brother, are you alright! Otherwise, you and I will take leave today."

Guo Lin waved his hands and said, "It's okay. I can still hold on. Today we need to ask the head of the restaurant, how much did we pay yesterday? We must ask the rules everywhere, so that we don't lose money when we get it."

"What Senior Brother said is very true, how many pages did Senior Brother copy yesterday?"

Guo Lindao: "Page 57."

Zhang Yue was surprised and said: "That's 190 nine and a half dollars, two hundred dollars a day is fine!"

The average labor in Pucheng is between 75 and [-] renminbi a day, and only two or three times a month.

Guo Lin thought to himself, Junior and Brother are really good at math.

Guo Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Although two hundred dollars a day is a lot, it is a waste of schoolwork. It's really worth the loss. If it wasn't for my father's illness, I would not have done this. I just hope that my father's illness is cured as soon as possible, and I can continue my studies."

"Although junior brother only has one dollar, let's ask today, a meal is not worth dozens of dollars!"

Zhang Yue said: "Senior brother, don't ask, the head of the house is clearly embarrassing me. What he says is what he says."

Guo Lindao: "Then we have to fight with reason, and try it anyway. Hurry up and leave. Today I asked my mother to prepare ring cakes for us. Let's eat while walking, so we can save a meal."

The so-called ring cake in the north is a fried naan, but in the Tang Dynasty, it was a cake with a hole in the center, which was hung up on the luggage with a rope.In this way, the south of the Song Dynasty still retains the title of the Tang Dynasty as the existence of road food.

"Okay! I'll go get a bamboo tube to fetch water! Eat that dry mouth!"

Guo Lin said casually, "Get more water, you've been a little hot lately!"

Zhang Yue took the bamboo tube and went to fetch water from the tank, and said to himself, "How do you know that I am hot? Could it be that the brother is Goujian?"

The two got up early in the morning, and it took an hour before they arrived at Nanfeng.

As soon as the two arrived at the academy, they asked Zhang Heng about the settlement of the money yesterday.Zhang Heng said impatiently: "Why do you ask me about this matter? You go and ask about the academic records."

The Song Dynasty Guozijian had set up a director and a school recorder.

The position of Zhaichang is similar to that of a college counselor, and the position of Xuelu is similar to that of teaching assistant, but the Zhaichang of Taixue and Xuelu are all held by seniors.

Where this method came from is nowhere to be verified.

It is said that when Fan Zhongyan celebrated the New Deal, Hu Yuan took the method to reform the Taixue system.Hu Yuan was a famous Confucian in the world, but he was not an official.

Hu Yuan once taught in Suzhou and Huzhou Zhouxue, and advocated that the students should be able to understand the body and apply it, so his students were divided into "Jingyizhai" and "Zhishizhai". .

Jingyizhai specializes in the study of classics and meanings, and cultivates scholars-type talents.

In order to manage affairs, in addition to the study of classics, they also need to learn martial arts, literature and art, water conservancy, political affairs, etc., to train talents for officials and politics.

Fan Zhongyan reformed Taixue, not only citing Hu Yuan's Suhu teaching method, but also let his two sons Fan Chunyou and Fan Chunren worship Hu Yuan as teachers.

After Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu also liked to select talents under Hu Yuan.At that time, the Ministry of Rites paid tribute, and Hu Yuan's disciples were always four or five of the ten.When Wang Anshi was reforming, he also liked to use the disciples of Hu Yuan as the backbone of the reform.

How famous was Hu Yuan at that time?
Some people describe it as 'the Confucian scholar's words and manners, see Hu Yuan's disciples without asking.Mr. Scholar Yu, if you don't ask, you know it's Hu Yuan'.

As for the use of students to manage the Taixue, to achieve the purpose of practicing affairs, and to cultivate talents who will manage affairs in the future, this is also the purpose of Hu Yuan's teaching.

This move made Zhang Yue think of the future student union.In college, it was mentioned that no one would scold the student council, but after scolds, if I took power in the future, would I do better than the person who scolds at the beginning?

As for the academic record mentioned by Zhang Heng, it was Zhang Yue, another student at the time of Guo Lin's interview.

Xuelu watched the two of them and smiled: "I read today that you copied it yesterday, and it's very good that there are few typos and omissions!"

"Thank you for the praise."

Xuelu said to Guo Lin: "You transcribed 57 pages, and you agreed with your husband for three and a half yuan per page, so it is 190 nine and a half yuan."

After talking about Xuelu, he opened an account book, wrote 190 nine and a half cents in Guo Lin's name, and said, "After three days, you can settle it daily, and the first three days are counted as betting. Do you have any objections?"

"Everything follows the instructions of the study record."

Xuelu looked at Zhang Yue again and said, "I heard Chief Wen Zhai say, can you convert two coins into one for a lunch?"

Zhang Yue said, "It's true."

Xuelu said: "How much money can I have in such a day? But it's a loss. But you have to follow the rules. I think you copied more than one page yesterday, and you and I count it as two pages, and it counts as 72 yuan."

Zhang Yue, Guo Lin glanced at each other and couldn't help being surprised.

"Thank you Xuelu." Guo Lin replied on behalf of Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue also clenched his fists in thanks.

Xuelu said with a smile: "The lunch is also decided by the head of the restaurant. I will give you a little bit of relief here, but you don't need to thank me. I also see that you have few typos and omissions, and it is also for me. Don't worry. Besides, Xuetian's accounts are even complicated, and I don't need a helper here. When the time comes, or it will take you for a few days, it will not be recorded as wages. "

Zhang Yue thought that it was convenient for others and also for himself: "In the future, please learn to record and instruct me."

Xuelu nodded.

Guo Lin asked, "Have you not asked for Gao's surname?"

"Don't dare, Zhang Cai is."

Zhang Yue did not remember the famous historical figures, which is really a pity.

The school record Zhang Cai looked at Zhang Yue again: "Yes, I checked the family status yesterday. Are you Zhang Xu's brother in the county school?"

Guo Lin looked at Zhang Yue in surprise, and Zhang Yue admitted, "That's true. He is my second brother. I do three things at home. Could Xuelu know my brother well?"

Zhang Cai smiled and said: "It's really Lord Zhang Sanlang, I'm disrespectful. I don't think I'm familiar with your brother, but I'm a good friend. When Chen Lingjun was in power, he brought county school students to Nanfeng to gather with his disciples. ."

"That day was the Nine-Nine Yellow Flower Festival. The students of our clan and the county students put cornel on their heads, drank sweet-scented osmanthus wine together, recited poems and songs, threw pots and arrows, and it was really unpleasant."

"At that time, both teachers and teachers were there, and the disciples on both sides could not help but have a heart, so they took advantage of the wine to show their talents in the name of learning from each other. At that time, your brother was in the limelight, convincing everyone with his literary talent, even throwing a pot, but also pressing Human head. Thinking back to Erlang's past graceful looks, he is a bit frivolous in addition to being heroic, but he is really talented, and he was convinced at the time when he lost!"

Zhang Yue couldn't help but imagine what happened to the second brother back then. During the Double Ninth Festival, everyone drank freely. In front of Chen Xiang and Mr. Zhou Jintang, a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old boy was drunk and overwhelmed all the young talents in the county. It is also a very pleasant thing to think about.

However, Zhang Yue thought about it, the second brother was jealous of others for being in the limelight on other people's territory.

Guozhen Zhang Cai continued: "If you didn't have some similarities with your brother, I wouldn't pay attention to your family status."

"But Ziping has always been concerned about this. He has a high regard for himself, but apart from Brother Ling, he has never lost anyone else in his life. You'd better not tell him that you are Zhang Xu's younger brother."

Zhang Yue was stunned for a while, it could be said that he was also shot while lying down.My second brother is gone, and I still have to continue to pit my brother.

It's also my fault that Chen Xiang has nothing to do with the county school disciples to discuss some knowledge. Isn't this obviously a mess?If his second brother was not from the Shu clan, he should have studied at the Zhang clan school, but instead he went to the county school.Now, a disciple of a sparse clan has chosen all of you, and let the disciples of this family put their face away, which is really embarrassing.

Horse eggs, it seems that the beam is settled.My second brother is really going to be a calamity wherever he goes.

Ps: Chen Xiang's two poems "Nine Days and Pucheng County Students Tour Nanfeng Courtyard"

Nine-day Yellow Flower Festival, Xinzun green ants float.Throwing a pot and playing Lu drum, the singer is like a business acquaintance.The princes were well-dressed, and they were first Confucianism, rites and music.Xiyan Mountain has a good mountain view, and it is a sunny autumn for you.

"Huangyou Revisited Nanfeng Temple in Pucheng County for Nostalgic Tour in the Spring of Four Years"

Go to Nanfeng Temple again and think about the nine-day tour.Where will the yellow flowers go, and who will stay with the white snow?The thin eunuch is three thousand miles away, and the streamer is forty autumns.When I come back to see you, I will beg you in the woods.
