I went ashore by weaving straw shoes and became a master craftsman

Chapter 90
at the same time.Capital, Taixue.

In a school house.

Although Taichang Xie Youyu is a little younger than Guozi Jijiu Zhang Jiying, they have a very close personal relationship.Xie Taichang was burying his head in textual research. When he was tired, he looked up and saw the face of his old friend opposite him wrinkled with a smile, so he asked, "What made Ji Ying smile like a flower? Hahaha..."

Zhang Jiying: "I just got some free time to read a student's reply to my letter. Haha, it's very interesting, the whole article is full of circles!" He pretended to be angry, picked up the first four pages he had read and handed them over.

Xie Taichang just wanted to relax, so he took it, and said "drink" a few times, deliberately following the other party's words: "Except for the circle, there are only worms left, and every word is writhing, Ji Ying, a student, is not good enough. what."

Zhang Jiying frowned and looked at the fifth piece of paper.In the first four pages, Wang Yun had already described all the details of reciting books, literacy, and daily life, and he knew that Wang Ge should write the next one.But the content...

"Young Yu, come and see."

It was rare for Xie Taichang to see the other party so dignified. He got up and came over. After a few lines, he took a "sigh" tone and looked at his old friend in blank dismay. "Ji Ying, actually... If you don't like this student, change it with my nephew, you teach my nephew, I'll teach this one, haha, how about it?"

Duyi County.

Nanshan Feiliu Peak.

Wang Ge Surong bowed to the five-year-old boy in front of him, and didn't start talking nonsense.Although the other party was also wearing Gebu cold clothes, but his feet were leather boots, and even though one boot had a hole in the toe, they were still leather boots!Ordinary people can't afford to wear them.

Both Jing'er and Gu Feng bowed to the child without saying a word, neither explaining to Wang Ge the origin of the child, nor telling the child about Wang Ge's identity.

The child returned the salute sternly, then asked with a smile again: "My name is Huzi, what's the girl's name?"

"Wang Ge. Ge of kudzu."

"Miss Wang is a newcomer, let's go. I'll show you around the abode. Those who came to Nanshan Guanshu to study exegesis, counting you and me, there are 11 official students. The rest are auditors. Follow me closely. "He folded his hands, walking really fast.

Seeing that Jing Nu and Gu Feng didn't stop him, Wang Ge followed Hu Zi.

The boy continued: "There is a big difference between being an official and being an auditor. We will all be enrolled in the Nanshan Guanshu student status. In the future, when we go out to make friends and do business, we can report this background. The auditors are not registered, so we must not boast to the outside world that we have studied in Xie's Primary School. Passing exegesis, let alone pretending to be the disciples of Master Guo and Master Zuo."

"So that's the case, Senior Brother Xie told me."

"Hehe, you are very sensible." He stretched out his wide sleeves with his small hands, bent his palms, and motioned Wang Ge to come closer, and then held two pieces of dried meat in his other hand, and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to eat?"

"Ah!" Seeing this, Jing Nu cried out in shock and quickly covered her mouth, but she couldn't hide the fear on her face.

Gu Feng shook his head invisibly.

A piece of jerky made the two child laborers react like this?Looking at the jerky again, Wang Ge couldn't help thinking wildly.

Hu Zi's sadness flashed by, he picked up one piece and was about to pick up another piece, when Wang Ge smiled and stretched out his hand: "Thank you, senior brother."

The child immediately gave her the jerky with joy.She imitated the other person, tore a piece of it, and chewed while thinking: This seems to be... the taste of beef?

However, I haven't eaten any meat for too many years, so Wang Ge is not sure.

In the Jin Dynasty, killing cattle was a felony. Even wealthy families could only eat cattle that died accidentally, and they had to report to the government for registration before slaughtering.

So this must not be the reason why Jing Nu and Gu Feng are afraid.If the little boy dared to eat beef and could not trace the source of the cattle slaughter, he would have been accused long ago.As for the meat of the same kind, Wang Ge was not so stupid as to think about it.

After eating dried meat, go down the curved corridor, walk out a courtyard wall along the stone path, and enter the bamboo forest.The road they walked should be the main road in the forest, about two steps wide, with drainage stone canals built on both sides.But this way should exist first, and then the stone canal was built later.Because the road looks like it has been walked all year round, and countless footprints can be seen on the solid soil that has been stepped on.

The way to study!

These words popped out of Wang Ge's mind.

On the left side of the bamboo forest, the stream in the distance is gradually slanting and approaching. The sound of the water is clear and crisp, like dancing music. Wild sparrows happily fly over the heads of several people and land on the side of the stream to comb their feathers.

The Qinquan Water Pavilion gradually appeared in Wang Ge's sight, gradually enlarged and real, more picturesque and elegant than she imagined!
Everyone turned left along the dirt road, and the stream in the forest gradually widened. At the widest point, a low wooden bridge with mortise and tenon structure was erected.The roof is the hanging mountain style of the residential system, covered with thick thatch, and the edges of the grass hanging down are uneven.

Wang Ge was looking up, when a piece of thatch fell straight into the stream and was sent away by the water.A delphinium happened to float across the water, stood on this thatch, and then rushed into the sky.

"It's so beautiful." She murmured in her heart.

Huzi sucked his nose and said, "Do you think the scenery is beautiful? It won't be so beautiful until the class starts in two days."

Yes, the pavilion is surrounded by wind. If you sit for a long time, who cares about enjoying the scenery?Wang Ge nodded approvingly.

"Let's go, I'll take you to see Feiliu Peak. There is a natural puddle on the steep peak, and the water from it falls straight down the cliff, forming Feiliu Waterfall. It's even more beautiful than here..." It's also colder.He sniffed again, and his sleeves trembled slightly.

The bamboo path goes all the way to the north, and the movement of the waterfall can already be heard.

Go to the north wall of the abbot, which is the outermost wall with a courtyard gate.When you come out of the courtyard gate, there are two roads, a dirt road to the west and a gravel road to the east.It was still Huzi who led the way and walked the gravel road.Wang Ge was behind him, and Jing Nu and Gu Feng followed silently.

The sound of the waterfall became more and more deafening. The four of them walked for less than a quarter of an hour, and they had to speak loudly.In the distance, there are mountains with green and yellow hanging in white, and the waterfall is divided into five pieces by a few steep rocks protruding from the middle.
Huzi waved at Wang Ge and glanced back at the same time.Jing Nu and Gu Feng immediately backed away with their heads bowed.

Wang Ge went over, and Hu Zi said, "Does it feel like strings?"

"picture."

"It's fake. Originally, there were only two steep rocks, which divided the waterfall into three parts. It looks like a rake from a distance. The Xie family has a capable person, so they came up with an idea to block the waterfall upstream with huge rocks and divert it. , vacated the cliff below, wedged countless iron rods, and pasted them with stones, pretending to be natural steep rocks. Changed the three-tooth rake into five strings."

Wang Ge pretended to look at those steep rocks seriously, but he was really worried, not because Hu Zi knew the secret of the waterfall, maybe the Xie family didn't care about the secret of a scenery at all.She was worried because every time the child looked into her eyes, he could see what she was thinking.

She has to study with such a precocious child, alas, the pressure is quite high.

At this time, more than ten people wearing brown coats passed by, some men and women, none of whom were dressed as well as Jing Nu and Gu Feng, but they did not salute Hu Zi and Wang Ge.

Huzi sniffed his nose more and more frequently, and explained to Wang Ge: "They are craftsmen and tenants of Xie's family, not slaves. They should go to the retting pond, retting the bamboo materials that have been retting for a hundred days, and using the pounding pestle. It can be smashed to make paper pulp. There are carpentry workshops, paper workshops, and leather workshops near Feiliu Peak. It’s too cold, so I’ll take you to see it another day.”

While leading the way back, the child said, "I heard that a first-class craftsman is coming to the Exegesis Academy..."

Wang Ge was about to say that she was.Huzi looked back and smiled: "Unexpectedly, I met you first today."

Ok.Wang Ge understood that in the future, he must not compare his IQ with precocious children.

　Disciple, disciple: The person who receives the karma personally is a disciple; the person who transfers to teach is a disciple.Wang Yun, taught by Huan Zhen, was Zhang Jiying's disciple.

　　Student Status: It is different from the current student status.In ancient times, student records were registered lists, which were used to distinguish formal students, scattered students, auditors, etc.

　　Chong碓 (chōng duì): A tool for pounding things.
