Three Kingdoms in a box

Chapter 151 Is this made of rosewood?
Zhang Jiao and the old masters quickly arrived at the entrance of the primary school. When Zhang Liang saw the eldest brother coming, he immediately shouted: "One or two!"

Immediately afterwards, I saw students lining up shouting loudly: "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome!"

The old master was startled. What was this? Why was he making such a loud noise? What was the meaning of this welcome? "

The old masters were thinking, but at this moment Zhang Jiao greeted the students familiarly. The leader of the old master looked at them and frowned slightly, and the old master beside asked: "What are they doing?"

Hearing this, Zhang Jiao turned around and said, "They are welcoming us."

welcome?

"What is welcome?"

The leader, the old master, asked puzzledly, and Zhang Jiao smiled and said: "The literal meaning is, joy means joy, and ying means welcome. It means to welcome us with joy, which shows the students' respect for us, as Confucius said. ,Have friends come from afar!"

"Oh I got it!"

Many old masters had a look of surprise on their faces, it turned out to be like this, they have been taught, they have been taught!

A few people were thinking this, and Zhang Jiao turned to the students and said, "Well, you've worked hard, sit down and have a rest, and follow Teacher Zhang Bao to the school to study!"

After hearing this, everyone nodded slightly and agreed, but Zhang Bao had already stood up and said: "Let's go back to school."

However, the children all looked at Wang Yue at this time. Wang Yueke promised them to give them rock candy for good behavior. Now the principal is obviously very satisfied. If Teacher Wang Yue does not give them candy, he will break his promise to the students. How can a gentleman do it?
When Zhang Bao saw this, he glanced at Wang Yue. Wang Yue could only scatter the rock candy in his hand while forcing a smile on his face.

Seeing the students like this, the old master on the side frowned and said: "Brother Zhang, scholars must have integrity, how can they behave badly? These students want to eat and drink as soon as they reach out. There are no rules. I think Brother Zhang wants to teach these people some rules." Got it!"

After hearing this, Zhang Jiao frowned and thought, are you teaching me how to do things?
But he said: "Children are naturally innocent in nature. This is a noble character given by God. Why should we kill it?"

After hearing this, the old master was still about to argue. At this time, an old master on the side stopped him. The meaning was very obvious. You, please suppress your anger. We are here to make money. Why can't we tell the difference? Where is the big and small king?

You don’t want those five pounds of corn and ten eggs?
The leader, the old master, looked blank for a moment, then sighed and said: "That's it, that's all, I won't argue with you."

He didn't want to argue with Zhang Jue, and Zhang Jue didn't argue with him. Zhang Jue came here to show off himself, not to get angry with these old bones, so it was just after a brief exchange on teaching concepts. , the two of them stopped talking.

Several people quickly arrived at the door of the school. The plaque above the door was covered with red silk cloth. Several people stood there and looked at the red cloth. Zhang Jiao smiled and said: "Haha, fellow villagers, I am very happy. Everyone can attend the opening ceremony of our Taiping Primary School, so without further ado, I declare that Taiping Primary School is officially open and unveiling!"

After giving the order, someone immediately used a bamboo pole to pull down the red cloth, revealing the plaque. As soon as the plaque came out, the eyes of several old masters flashed with strange colors.

Good word!
Among them was the old master who was not simple-minded. His eyes became extremely surprised at this time. Xiagouhe Village is really paying a lot of money. Did you see it? This plaque is actually made of rosewood!
Rosewood is the king of woods. People like them don't even have a piece of wood. Only those big families can come up with furniture made of rosewood. The piece of rosewood in front of him is so big and neat that he even looks at it. It turns out that this piece of rosewood is spliced ​​together, but it looks like a whole piece of wood.

Oh my god, how much would this cost if it were a whole piece of wood? This piece of wood looks like it is nine feet long and five feet wide. The old man was a little surprised when he thought about such a long rosewood wood. By the way, this old nose is rich!
You must know that the production of red sandalwood is not easy. It takes 100 years for a red sandalwood tree to grow three centimeters thick. If it wants to become a tree, it must be 800 years old. And this Li Yu is based on the two figures of this era. A red sandalwood card with a length of one centimeter by one centimeter would be a giant tree of two meters by one meter in this era. How old is such a tree?Thinking about it, I don’t dare to continue thinking about it, for fear of being scared to death!
And two centimeters times one centimeter, in modern times, it is the smallest piece of wood, so there is no sense in making a puzzle at all, so this card is cut out of a piece of wood, or a piece of leftover material.

In addition, the red sandalwood today is not the red sandalwood of the past. This red sandalwood is imported from India. Its growth cycle is relatively fast, and it will not only grow three centimeters in 100 years.

But even so, in the eyes of the money-mad master, this plaque is an extraordinary object. You shouldn’t hide such a plaque like a treasure, but hang it out. The old master looked at the people holding steel guns on the side, and their expressions were The ferocious and ferocious security forces secretly thought in their hearts, it seems that Xiagouhe Village is not only a rich place, but also a place with force!

Thinking like this, the old man regretted a little. Shouldn't he have refused Zhang Jiao's solicitation in the first place? It seemed that this place was much better than his shabby thatched house!

It's a pity. Looking back now, people may not necessarily use us. This old master's mood suddenly improved.

The other old masters were not as complicated as this one. They were attracted by foreign objects at a glance and stared at the wood with the plaque written on it. And they were all attracted by the plaque in front of them, or rather by the words on it. Attracted.

How do you say this word? It is free and wanton, with iron pen and silver hook, flying dragons and phoenixes. It seems to have an indescribable Taoist charm. Moreover, this word is not the same as the mainstream modern writing. It is quite self-contained and the beginning of a sect. The person who can write such words with such magnanimity is extraordinary!

Thinking of this, several old masters looked at Zhang Jiao and asked, "Who wrote this word?"

After hearing this, Zhang Jiao was stunned, and then said: "This is a gift from the gods!"

Several old masters were stunned for a moment, then one of them nodded and said: "These words are very charming. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are a gift from God. What a good word, what a good word!"

Several other masters also nodded, and the leader, an old master, said: "I'm not as good as this!"

Zhang Jiao looked at several people like this and was silent for a moment. Some of them wanted to tell them that this word was literally given by the gods, not a metaphor. It was really a gift from the gods. However, several old masters looked at the words carefully. It seemed that Zhang Jiao no longer wanted to explain.

Forget it, explain this to them, but the character "Xianzun" is really beautiful, with flying dragons and phoenixes, and everyone's demeanor, and according to Xianzun, this is the first time he has written Chinese characters, and he can write such a level for the first time. Not to mention breathtaking!

Immortal Lord is Immortal Lord!

At this time, several old masters were also studying the words on the plaque.

Taiping Primary School!
"Taiping Elementary School, elementary school, is a bit interesting. Elementary school is the study of writing, not a university. Using it here directly shows that this place is a place to teach people to read and read. Good! It's concise and concise, concise and concise!" "Yes, and besides, Everyone, this Taiping is also very useful. I would rather be a Taiping dog than a person in troubled times. This is the meaning of praying for peace, good, good meaning!"

Listening to the compliments of the two masters in front of him, the leading master said: "I don't care about these. What I like most is this calligraphy. It's so beautiful. The iron pen and silver hook, the dragon and the phoenix are dancing. It's a master's penmanship. Such calligraphy , I can see you once in this life, and die without regrets, die without regrets!"

"Well, what Brother Zhao said is very true. This word is so beautiful. I am afraid that even everyone in this dynasty is just like this. I didn't expect that Brother Zhang has such a great talent. I admire you!"

"I'm waiting for admiration!"

At this time, everyone saluted Zhang Jiao together. Zhang Jiao was very happy. Look, he was ignoring me a few days ago. How about it? Do you feel like you are out of reach today?
Thinking of this, Zhang Jiao laughed loudly: "There, there, it's just fur, fur!"

Zhang Jiao said it was superficial, but his eyes betrayed him. That is pride. Look at you mortals. The first time our Immortal Master wrote, you were all so frightened. If we, the Immortal Master, were allowed to practice for a few more days, , then the written words won’t scare you to death!

But yes, what is our status as Immortal Lord? Being able to bring a plaque for the primary school is already a gift. If we ask the Immortal Lord to give us anything else, then we are a bit ungrateful!

Thinking like this, several masters came over and asked: "I dare to ask Brother Zhang, what is the name of this font? It seems to be different from the fonts passed down by several people in this dynasty!"

After hearing this, Zhang Jue smiled slightly and said: "This font, called Nanhua Style, is what I learned from the Immortal Master and I. Of course, this is just scratching the surface, and it is not even one ten thousandth of the traces that our Immortal Master can copy! "

After hearing this, the masters didn't say much. They all knew that there were few truths in it. After all, they were all words of humility. After all, humility is a virtue in this era.

Even during the Three Kingdoms period, individuals were extremely humble in their selections. Any public figure whose talent is a hundred times greater than mine.

Anyway, when someone praises you, you have to be humble and don't admit it carelessly, otherwise others will think that you are not profound and have no gentlemanly style!Zhang Jiao also had to follow this rule.

Everyone was complimenting him, and Zhang Jiao happily made excuses with them, feeling very happy in his heart. He was pretending to be mellow now.

And Li Yu was watching this scene outside the box, and he was laughing in his heart. Don't tell me, using modern technology to fool the ancients, it was really accurate. Thinking about it, Li Yu felt even happier.

At this time, Zhang Jiao also stretched out his hand and said: "Come on, ladies, don't stand outside, please come inside!"

The masters looked at each other, then politely said to each other: "Please, please!"

Several people came to the door politely to each other and stepped into the yard. As soon as they entered the yard, they saw three pine trees, several bamboos, plum blossoms, orchids, bamboos and chrysanthemums. It can be said that the atmosphere of a gentleman is very strong!
Going around the courtyard, we found the school classroom. The classroom was very large and could seat more than a hundred people at a time. There was also a huge blackboard in front of it. The teacher could write on the blackboard for teaching. Following a few people, they saw another couplet at the door. , also using Qigong style printed by computer.

Several people came to the couplet and read it, and were immediately attracted by the content of the couplet!

First couplet: There is eternity in precious things, so why sleep at three o'clock and wake up at five o'clock?
Second line: The most useless, I'm afraid it will be cold for ten days in one day!
Seeing this couplet, the masters' eyes lit up. What a couplet, what a couplet to encourage learning. The truth in it is simple and easy to understand, but it is thought-provoking.

The most important thing is perseverance. As long as you can persevere, why go to bed at three o'clock and get up at five o'clock? If you don't eat well or sleep well, that's not called hard work.

The most unprofitable thing is to work hard for one day and then rest and do nothing for the remaining ten days. This is very bad. This tells the students the principle of perseverance. As long as you persist, there will definitely be light coming in. of!

"Okay, okay, one day is exposed to the cold for ten days. It simply speaks the truth of the world. This couplet to encourage learning is really a masterpiece. I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that Brother Zhang is also a master of couplets. He is amazing. ,sharp."

Hearing this, Zhang Jiao quickly waved his hands and said, "Hey, brothers, you are being serious, this is a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning!"

After hearing this, everyone looked at Zhang Jiao with smiles in their eyes: "What a humble person."

At this time, a master said: "Brother Zhang, this couplet is very good. Can I record it and write a couplet when I get home and put it in front of the door to encourage learning?"

Hearing this, he was stunned and then laughed and said: "What's wrong with this? You can copy it as much as you like!"

After hearing this, several people were very excited, and someone said: "Okay, thank you very much, Brother Zhang."

"you are welcome!"

Everyone chatted for a while, and Zhang Jiao's status was obviously different at this time. At first, a few people only thought that Zhang Jiao was a man of average virtue who had not been promoted to the top, if it weren't for the eggs and five kilograms of corn. Go up, they will definitely not come, after all, it is condescension to come here!

But after experiencing the plaque at the door and this couplet, whether it is the handwriting, literary talent, or the rosewood wood used to make the plaque, we can see Zhang Jiao's strong capital. Zhang Jiao is really rich!

This is the sincere emotion of several people. They all have a deep understanding of Zhang Jiao's wealth. Look at the two pieces of wood on which the couplets are written. They are also made of red sandalwood, and in terms of size, they are larger than the door plaque. Such treasures can be used as wooden boards for couplets. Now Gouhe Village is extremely rich, extremely rich!

Several old masters looked at each other with shock in their eyes. This was not their first time coming to Gouhe Village, but ever since they arrived, they had been stunned for a moment, first by the towering sapling in the village. , followed closely by the plaque at the door, and the world-class calligraphy, each of which shocked them beyond measure. Anyone who took it out would be enough to be praised, but it seemed normal here.

At this time, they couldn't even describe the situation in Xiagouhe Village as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. They could only describe it as terrifying.

At this moment, Zhang Jiao spoke again: "Everyone, come inside and invite me, we haven't looked inside this room yet!"
