Chapter 764: Chilling the Heart
You'll know when you get there.
If the Four Princes and Zhang Chen had a deeper understanding of Zhang Shou, they would have realized that these meaningful words could never be measured literally. However, although the two of them thought they were already familiar with Zhang Shou, they still didn't know each other enough. Especially Zhang Shou actually ordered someone to send a letter back to Zhang Yuan, and told Zhu Ying that he would not go back tonight, so they were all taken crookedly.
Just because of their bullshit gambling contract, Zhang Shou, who had just married Zhu Ying and Yan'er, had to accompany them to Tongzhou overnight? Thinking of whether Zhu Ying would hate these two guys who made such a gamble after learning about this, the fourth prince and Zhang Chen both felt a little cold in their necks.
Regardless of whether they win or lose, will they be beaten by Zhu Ying when they return to Beijing in the future!
So with such a worried thought, when he left the city with Zhang Shou, the four princes were there desperately to dissuade Zhang Shou from sending them down, and they themselves would complete the gambling contract, and Zhang Chen, who had always been in conflict with the four princes, was rarely on the side to help desperately. However, they talked dryly, but Zhang Shou always smiled and watched them talk about cross talk, and the two were suddenly helpless.
Starting from the evening before the closing of the gates of the capital, they simply ate a little cooked food in the car, even if there was a foot stove and hand stove, and the carriage was surrounded by thick car surrounds, but the four princes and Zhang Chen still felt that the weather was too cold and they wore too little. So much so that in the end, the two couldn't help but lean together, and for the first time they regretted this inexplicable bet.
Bet you should wait until after the beginning of spring, it's too cold!
It is completely impossible for the sedan car of this year to be airtight, so of course Zhang Shou is also cold. However, he has Zhu Ying, a little fairy with many treasures, and for this trip, the couple had agreed in advance, so Zhu Ying had already prepared a thick fur coat, warm socks, and waist support for him...... Anyway, the cold baby is fully prepared, he is armed from head to toe, and he still carries a small red snail charcoal stove with the infinite heart of his wife in his arms, so of course he can get through it.
But thinking about it, this is a night walk, the driver who drove outside and Ah Liu, who followed the car, called it hard, he couldn't help but make up his mind in his heart, this time after throwing the two in his car, plus the one sent by the third prince and Chu Kuan, to the place, he didn't care if they were called Tiantian, called the earth and the earth were not spiritual, and if they didn't stay for a month, he would definitely not let them come back, so that these two would have nothing to do and toss the moth!
Thought this was a relaxing trip to Tongzhou, easy to teach and visit home, and then you could discover what dusty pearls, and then win or lose in one fell swoop, and return to the capital with scenery? Oh, think beautifully!
Therefore, seeing the big bear children and small bear children in the car being bumped and drowsy, Zhang Shou said that he was also tormented, but he always had a smile as if he was in control, and never looked out of the car - after all, in this era without street lights, as long as it is night, except for the light of the horse lamp, nothing can be seen.
Even if it weren't for the well-trained, the lives of nocturnal horses could even be in danger. Therefore, if it weren't for the coachman from Zhao Guogong's mansion, he wouldn't dare to accompany him on this trip.
I don't know how long I walked, and even when Zhang Shou himself was about to doubt his life, he finally heard Ah Liu's voice outside: "Young Master, it's already here." ”
An agitated spirit came to his senses, Zhang Shou saw that Zhang Chen and the four princes were almost huddled together, but the shivering from the cold did not affect the fact that they were also about to be stunned and dozed off in the eyelids, so he smiled, directly lifted the curtain, and then pushed open the car door...... Just a small slit of course.
Even so, almost at that moment, an extremely cold wind still burst in with cheers, and before Zhang Chen and the four princes could react, their heads were frozen. The two of them screamed, and seeing that Zhang Shou went to the cart door again, they hurriedly wrapped their clothes tightly, and then they dared to meet the fiercer night wind.
When the two people who got out of the carriage were down-to-earth, they only felt that their feet hurt like pins and needles, but they sat on the carriage and their feet were numb. Although they seemed to be sworn enemies when they bet before, they had to huddle together to keep warm in the car just now, and at this time, the four princes and Zhang Chen didn't care so much, and had to join hands with each other and stomp their feet together.
Because if they didn't hold on to it, they were very worried about whether they would fall directly on this frozen ground with numb feet!
And Zhang Shou also tightened his fur fur. To say that he dominates the most comfortable seat in the carriage, his feet are much lighter than Zhang Chen and the fourth prince at this time, but he also has numb feet, but after all, he has to talk about demeanor and can't jump around. At this moment, he glanced up at the sky and saw that it was full of stars, even though he had seen this scene aesthetically tired over the years, he still felt pleasing to the eye.
And at this time, he finally heard an exclamation from the fourth prince: "What the hell is this place?" ”
Zhang Shou glanced sideways at the two of them, and saw that although the fourth prince was full of confusion, Zhang Chen was also dumbfounded, so he said with a smile: "This is Baijia Village outside Tongzhou City." Well, it's not a famous village, it's similar to the meltwater village where I lived. I asked Yingying to ask Miss Ye before, there are seventy or eighty families here, hundreds of people, most of them are surnamed Bai, so it is called Baijia Village. ”
Is this what I'm asking? What I asked was that I had said that I was going to Tongzhou, but why did I suddenly come to such a corner place?
The fourth prince's face was full of anger, and Zhang Chen reacted faster than the trumpet bear child this time, he gasped and asked with a frightened face: "Does this mean that we are going to complete this bet, not in Tongzhou City, but in this remote village?" ”
How many people can read and write in this village? How many people can read a book? If it was already difficult before...... Now it's a nightmare! Rao is based on Zhang Chen's optimistic nature, and he can't help but feel numb in his scalp at this time, let alone the four princes who only have the only experience of rural life.
But that time, the four princes, who were born in the palace and pampered since childhood, lived in Haidian Zhao Garden, went to the grange of Zhao Guogong's mansion, picked up ears of wheat and rode cattle or something, in the final analysis, it was almost the same as playing, but it was just a little tired......
In contrast, Luo Sanhe's reaction was relatively flat...... Or rather, smooth. It was clear that he did not suffer from night blindness, but when he glanced around, he could only see that it was pitch black, and he could barely make out that there seemed to be a series of low houses not far away, without any lights.
Probably because of the carriages and horses, the barking of dogs could be heard at this time, but there was only one room where the lights were actually lit, and it seemed that someone was about to come out to see what was going on. Seeing this, the four princes and Zhang Chen seemed to want to protest, Luo Sanhe said angrily: "Is there a difference between the village and the city?" Where to teach is not to teach, how can there be so much attention? ”
I always felt that I could fool Luo Sanhe around, but now I was ridiculed, how could the four princes endure it. However, before he could regain his strength and ridicule him, he saw Zhang Shou speak unhurriedly again.
"The village chief of Baijia Village, I have already contacted it. There were about forty or fifty children in the village, from five to fifteen years old, a few of whom were coarsely literate, but most of them were illiterate. At this time, there was not much farm work to do, so the village chief agreed to vacate two rooms for the children to read. ”
"What you have to do is to determine whether these children are qualified or not within this month's time, and then pass Miss Ye's judgment. That's right, she has agreed to bring a few family members to live here temporarily. There is no need to worry about any gossip, most of the people in this village have never been to Tongzhou, let alone the capital. ”
The four princes were stunned for a moment. It's obviously a village not too far from Tongzhou City, but many people haven't been to Tongzhou?
Zhang Shoucai didn't want to be wasted by the curious baby of the fourth prince asking questions, and seeing that people were about to ask questions again, he coughed and continued to say unhurriedly: "Of course, I actually chose three villages with similar conditions, if you don't want to stay together, you can also be in charge of a village by yourself." ”
"So, whether you are all gathered in this one village, or whether each person is responsible for one, you can choose for yourself."
Before the fourth prince and Zhang Chen could answer, Luo Sanhe immediately said, "I took Zhang Xiaohai, the student I taught in the public school, to another village. It's also a little fairer. ”
Zhang Chen didn't care whether the three groups of people were gathered in the same village, but at this moment, Xiao Peanut and Xiao Cheng also got out of the carriage and were gathering around the four princes to muttering something to people. His heart moved, and he always felt that if he took Yang Hao to other villages, maybe the bear child would play tricks.
"I'm here in Baijia Village, there are so many students anyway, if I don't help, how can the three of them be busy? I don't want to look back, and when the fourth prince returned to the palace, he cried and said that I bullied him. ”
The fourth prince didn't expect Zhang Chen to plan to sing on the same stage with him, and he was angry. However, Zhang Shou nodded bluntly and agreed: "It's okay, then Zhang Chen, you can stay here, otherwise Zheng Qiang Xiaohua and Xiao Cheng are here, and I really don't feel at ease." It's just that if you lose, there will be no excuse! ”
"Am I going to lose?" Zhang Chen didn't look at the two men who hurried towards them with lanterns not far away, and said viciously, "I'm not scared, little gentleman, just look at it, the three of them plus one piece, that's not my opponent!" ”
Just such a group of children in the village, what else is there to be afraid of, coercion and temptation, give some sweetness under the stick, promise some future benefits, who can resist that temptation?
Anyway, it's not about picking any champion Xie Yuan from it, so many people can pick out one or two qualified Dingtian! Of course, it is impossible to have none of them, otherwise Zhang Shou would not have chosen such a place......
Seeing that Zhang Chen and the fourth prince were facing Mai Mang again, and Luo Sanhe had an expression that I would not mix with you, and I would open up the second battlefield by myself, Zhang Shou couldn't help but secretly hehe.
What did he say in front of people before, what was the selection of talents, in fact, it was just a good name, in fact, it was just another way of speaking.
In later generations, this kind of thing has been vigorously advocated and vigorously promoted for decades. How many enthusiastic and ambitious young people have gone to the most remote places to teach in the countryside? In this kind of village, poverty is not actually the biggest problem, and the short-sightedness corresponding to poverty, a lot of wisdom, but no great knowledge, that is the biggest problem.
As a result, the vast majority of enthusiastic young people collided in the face of the cold reality, and left in gloom or anger, and only a very small number of idealists resolutely stayed behind to hold up their heads for the children in those poor villages. He has always admired these people, even if they have been there but can't insist on leaving, they are better than people who have never been there but say strange things.
Nowadays, this Baijia Village is still at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but compared to the crown of the capital, it seems to have changed the world, after the four princes and Zhang Chen experienced it, they should know what the real folk are. As for letting the two of them take advantage of this to collect their temper or something, he didn't think about it at all. If two people can understand reality better than that momentum, it will be enough.
Zhang Chen and Yang Hao, the four princes and the little peanut Xiao were traded to the son of the village chief who came to greet him, and seeing that the big man was smiling and leading everyone to his own mansion, Zhang Shou gave Ah Liu a look, and when he saw that Luo Sanhe was driven to the carriage and waited, he smiled at the old village chief whose face was full of wrinkles like knife carvings.
"I'll leave these two groups to you. You are always an old acquaintance of Mr. Yang, and you know the importance of it. They come from extraordinary backgrounds, and they all have elders in their families, and they are very powerful elders. If you want to sell them miserably, knock some bamboo sticks, or scrape some oil and water, that's fine, but don't go too far. You know, they've been to the countryside before. ”
"Moreover, the Miss Ye who will come over tomorrow is the master who doesn't rub sand in her eyes, so you'd better be able to control the people in the village and don't talk nonsense. She cut off the ears of the disciples, and beat the dog's legs to cry and cry her father and mother, if someone writes a legendary book, she is also one of the characters such as the No. 1 Sword Fairy Girl, and she will not be polite to those who have broken their mouths. ”
The old village chief nodded his head, didn't even dare to say, and didn't ask Zhang Shou at all from beginning to end, who were the two people who came today. Because I think these noble children can't control their mouths at all, they will definitely be able to find out in two days. Of course, Yang Laoqi matched him with each other and sent such nobles over through Zhang Shou, he would not be so stupid and rash to try it.
In the past, Rongshui Village was just a farmer of Zhao Guogong's Mansion, but now because of such an extraordinary figure as Zhang Shou, I heard that the land rent of Hecun was directly reduced from 30% to 20% by Zhao Guogong's Mansion, which is simply a number that makes him envious to death, because there is no lower than this in the entire Gyeonggi plot, and most of them are fertile paddy fields.
Therefore, he was not proud of Zhang Shou's old age at all, and sent people to the carriage respectfully. When Ah Liusai on the side came over with a package that was so heavy that it could almost crush people, the smile on his face suddenly became even bigger. And Ah Liu's words are much simpler and rude than Zhang Shou.
"Sixty dollars in money, another twenty dollars in cash, enough for expenses. Buick buckle, otherwise you will lose double! ”
