The tough wife has room to farm

Chapter 108 A Few Numbers Are Enough
Shen Pingxi didn't feel any guilt at all for inviting people here like this.

When I was out of the county school before, I saw the little daughter-in-law was a little depressed, so I thought of this great Confucian who had returned to his hometown for the elderly. If you want to talk about learning, who can compare with this who once accompanied the current emperor to study? The former prince Taifu has the right to speak.

Fortunately, Mr. Chang's hometown is not very far from here. Counting the time, Qiu Shangping should have traveled all night to show up with Mr. Chang at this time. It was originally calculated that he would not arrive until at least this time tomorrow.

"Mr. Chang, it's been a long time. It's too abrupt to invite you here. It's true that Mr. Shen is asking for something."

They haven't finished their courtesies yet, Shen Lao, who is completely chaotic, jumped out three feet high, with a look on his face that I finally understood your conspiracy, and said, "Oh, I see, you want this old shameless to teach me Apprentice, no, absolutely not, I absolutely disagree!"

Originally, Mr. Chang, who had heard Qiu Shangping say that he hadn't made a final decision on whether to accept the young man, had lost his temper after being blocked by Mr. Shen. In fact, it was mainly because of Shen Pingxi's face.

Instead, he said not to be outdone, "Where's that boy you mentioned? Look at me, old man."

Shen Pingxi gently pushed Wen Liang's shoulders, and sent him to the fire range of the two old men. The brother-in-law could push him out, but the daughter-in-law couldn't!

"Son, are you this old monster's apprentice? What's your name, what books have you read? How long have you been enlightened?"

Mr. Chang ignored Mr. Shen who was still clamoring, and asked Wen Liang in front of him.

Wen Liang is neither humble nor overbearing. He has long been accustomed to the state of master jumping like this. Usually, as long as he finishes memorizing a book by himself, he will see the expression of master.

He understood that the master was excited, and moved his body by the way.

"Mr. Hui, under the guidance of my master, I have been enlightened for several months. I have studied "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment", "Three Character Classics", "Hundred Family Surnames", "Thousand Family Poems", "Filial Piety" and now I am reading "The Analects of Confucius."

These are things that basic enlightenment can read. Mr. Chang didn't ask too much, but asked in doubt, "How many months? Have you memorized these books? Can you understand their meaning?"

Before Wen Liang could answer, Elder Shen rushed to speak, "I'm not ashamed, let me tell you, don't compare my apprentice with those little stereotypes of yours. My apprentice can write the filial piety scriptures word for word in three days. There are several books, and none of them can be memorized backwards in more than five days."

That smug look was really not humble at all, Wen Liang was submissive, nodded slightly, "Most of the interpreters can already understand."

This is not too full of words, but it is enough to shock Mr. Chang's cognition. You must know that ordinary people want to memorize the simplest book, and it takes ten and a half months for the smart ones, let alone this post-enlightenment book. What does a few months represent!
That is, starting from the starting point of being illiterate and having never touched a book, Mr. Chang can hardly believe the progress he is making now.

Completely ignoring Shen Lao's continued provocation, he picked a passage from the Analects and asked, "Then let me ask you, 'The three armies can win the commander, but the common man can't win the ambition.' What does this sentence mean?"

Wen Liang almost didn't need to think too much, and explained according to his own thoughts, "The army can be deprived of its commander, but a man can't be deprived of his ambition. This is to express that even an ordinary person must have a firm ambition. Regardless of status."

"Well, it seems that you are really reading with your heart." As he spoke, he looked up at Old Shen, and said contemptuously, "It's just a good luck that the good seedlings were almost destroyed in the hands of this old monster."

Of course, Mr. Shen would not let Mr. Chang run on him obediently, and the table slapped, "What are you talking about, I am not ashamed, this apprentice is still mine now, I opened the door, and I handed over the pen. , you just came here, you shitty fart!"

Not to be outdone, Mr. Chang asked Wen Liang directly, "Have you seen that sentence in the Analects of Confucius?"

Wen Liang opened his mouth and replied, "Gentlemen have nine thoughts: Seeing is wise, hearing is smart, seeing is warm, looking respectful, speaking is loyal, doing things respectful, doubting and asking, anger is difficult, and seeing is righteous."

Mr. Chang did not follow the rules of the card and said, "Follow me to read. Seeing the good is not enough, and seeing the bad is like exploring soup; I have seen his people. I have heard his words. Live in seclusion to seek his ambitions, and practice righteousness to achieve his goals." Dao; I have heard his words, but I have not seen him."

Wen Liang read it obediently, and as soon as the last word fell, a teacup was stuffed into his hand, and then quickly snatched away, Mr. Chang raised his head and drank it.

With a big smile on his proud face, he said to Shen Lao, "You are old, now I have taught you knowledge and drank the apprenticeship tea. As for your virtue, which no one can tell the difference, can you teach me later? ? Come, come, read a sentence, old man!"

Nuan Nuan watched with relish next to Shen Pingxi, darling, now the house is lively, this Mr. Chang is obviously the old man that Shen Pingxi called Qiu Shangping to teach Wen Liang to read, and he is also a remarkable person.

The so-called like gathers like things and people are divided into groups. To be able to meet an old genius doctor like Shen Lao is an old acquaintance, and it is very likely that he is a great big shot. Now Wen Liang doesn't need to make her worry.

Cautiously asked, "Mr. Chang, we offended the head of the county school before, so if we can't enter the school, will it delay our studies and the imperial examination?"

Mr. Chang finally got the better of him. He pushed Mr. Shen to one side against the wall, and looked at Wen Nuan in a very happy mood, "Girl, you are Shen... um, this kid's wife? My apprentice's sister?"

Nodding warmly and obediently, he felt amused by the title 'this kid', "Yes, Mr. Chang."

"Okay, okay, this kid is finally enlightened, you can live together, this kid will be handed over to me in the future, as for the county school in Laoshizi, don't bother with them, Xiaoqiuzi has already told me, the old man is a blank sheet of paper With just a few figures, that crooked scum can write a thousand pieces of Baijuan."

Mr. Chang is not bragging about this. When it comes to his life of teaching and educating people, he has no worries when he comes and no trace when he goes. books.

"That's really great. From now on, Liangzi, I'll trouble you to teach me. I'll prepare the meals right now. Let's have a good celebration today."

Nuannuan is so happy, I never thought that my husband-in-law would get rid of my biggest heartache without saying a word, and get such an old fairy from the sky for my family, who will teach Wenliang knowledge carefully, and don't even need to learn about school status worry.

Happily, he rushed into the kitchen and shouted to Shen Pingxi who was following her, "Master, hurry up and catch a goat, wild boar, and rabbit too. I want to show my skills today, so I'd better call the four of us." Family and two masters, let’s have a good time.”

When Shen Pingxi saw the little daughter-in-law who was finally really happy, he nodded with a smile on his face and turned around to do it, leaving the two old men to continue fighting in the room, Wen Liang laughed with him, and Qiu Shangping watched the show happily.

Wang took Xiao Wenqing away early in the morning. She was busy sharing the good news with Aunt Xiumei. They knew that she was also very busy!
