Chapter 527: No One Listens to the Old Tune
Although he can memorize the four books and know the Five Classics, Zhang Shou's understanding of these things is far from his understanding of history books - he reads history books with his own thinking, so he reads them with relish, as for these four books and five classics, although he can also be familiar with every word and sentence by heart because of his talent, his understanding is much worse.
And for metaphysical things, it's even more asympathetic, and his understanding is as bad as it gets. For example, the one he got the worst in college and got the worst grades in was a certain philosophy, and there was no one...... Of course, because it's a closed book, there's no way to cheat yet!
Therefore, when Hong Shanchang began to seriously talk about his further understanding of the way of science, Zhang Shou was really a little confused.
He sat there with a smile on his face, seemingly listening to Chief Hong Shan's lecture very seriously, but in fact, he was thinking in his mind, what to eat for dinner today, I don't know if the mutton that Aunt Liu asked to buy in person in the morning is fishy......
However, Zhu Ying, who also deliberately ran over today, occupied a huge Guangye Hall with the Wu family, and let Mother Li, the proud servant beside her grandmother, let off the wind outside, but she didn't know that Zhang Shou was out of the world. She looked around several times, and when she found that Zhang Shou was still listening calmly and leisurely, she couldn't help complaining.
"Ah Shou is really good at sitting, if you want me, I can't bear it anymore and want to make an excuse to leave!"
The Wu family was quietly brought here by Zhu Ying today, and the prospective mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entered the national prison as family members, she originally thought that there would always be other female relatives from the family who came here to listen to the lecture, but she didn't expect that there were only the two of them, and it was inevitable that she was a little worried in her heart.
At this time, although she couldn't see the people who were lecturing in the hall clearly, she was able to hear some voices, and her heart finally settled down.
Therefore, even if she didn't understand what Hong Shanchang said, her patience was much stronger than Zhu Ying's, and she immediately smiled and comforted: "After all, this is about knowledge, we don't understand, and the people below must understand." Ah Shou has liked to read since he was a child, and in the years before his health gradually improved, when Lao Liu Tou entered Beijing, he often asked people to buy books and go home. ”
"Not necessarily." Zhu Ying is usually quite close to the Wu family, and usually does not reject her words, but at this time, she said a little unconvinced, "Aunt Wu, don't really intimidate these so-called great Confucian celebrities, they talk a lot of long words, but often they don't hear any meaning, look at what expressions these guys have?" ”
Zhu Ying couldn't help but pull the Wu family over, and then pointed to the prisoners and lifters below, and even sharply pointed out which district and which one was pretending.
And Wu looked over one by one and found that this was indeed the case, and was immediately stunned. She has always had the opportunity to read because she was a child, and now she only knows a few words, so she always has a natural awe for readers.
So for Zhang Shou's father, Zhang Xiucai, who has been dead for many years, she still respects it very much. She is also very grateful to Widow Zhang, who is also literate and hyphenated, and gave her blindness. Even the two people who lived at home were said by Zhang Shou to be inconsequential, and she secretly ordered someone to entertain them well.
What she was most afraid of was that Zhang Shou would enter the Guozijian at such a young age, but she was underestimated because of her youth - every time she thought of her, she regretted that she had driven away the gentleman sent by Zhao Guogong's Mansion for Zhang Shou's poor health, so she forcibly delayed the best time to study. If it weren't for Zhang Shou's studious self-learning later, and it can even be said that she was talented, she would have regretted it too late now.
Therefore, now that she found that the scholars would be so lazy and slippery, she couldn't help but say with a complicated feeling: "I thought that the inmates who could be admitted to the examination and study in the country should always be diligent and dare not slack off." ”
"Hehe," Zhu Ying snorted disdainfully, "Aunt Wu, you think too much, some people have real talent and real learning, but there are also people who just happen to be blinded by the right exam questions, or the right article is the examiner's appetite, so they take shit luck." Not to mention the prisoners of the Guozijian, even the spontaneous hall, which is known as the head of the six halls, has an old oilman who is qualified to come up. ”
"Besides, these prisoners are so slippery, in the past, their teachers were talking above, and they all dared to doze off or even wander down, not to mention that the old man Hong who was lecturing at this time was all talking about it there? Don't take reading people too seriously, even those who listen carefully are most likely pretending! A sincere gentleman like Ah Shou is really listening to it there. ”
As soon as Wu heard Zhu Ying praise Zhang Shou, he immediately forgot to accuse these scholars for not paying attention, and completely became a loving mother who liked to hear others praise her son. At that moment, she looked at Zhang Shou's complacent appearance, and nodded in agreement: "Ah Shou has been so serious about everything since he was a child, and his demeanor and bearing are all the most like a lady." ”
If Zhang Shou knew that his acting skills of pretending to listen carefully had won the unanimous praise of Wu and Zhu Ying, the prospective mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he would definitely cry and laugh. However, not only the two who hid in Guangye Hall to watch the excitement, but even Lu Sanlang beside him, who didn't know how many yawns, still didn't wait for Hong Shanchang's closing words.
Not long after Lu Sanlang started speaking, he deliberately changed seats with Xu Heikui in the rope hall. And because of his leadership, the other students who came over from Jiuzhangtang today did the same, and they all cautiously proposed to change seats with Xu Heiyu, and they readily agreed to the request every time. So, the black-faced prisoner in the rope hall moved his seat again and again, and actually sat on the very edge.
Ji Jiu, who was sitting on the side in order to show his longevity, changed his seat and there was also a black-faced supervisor next to him, so he simply didn't change it.
Lu Sanlang didn't think that his predecessor had brought a bad head to others, he endured it and endured it, and finally he couldn't bear it and asked in a low voice: "Little sir, is this old guy endless?" Thank you for listening! It's still Zhang Chen who is smart, and by investigating the weird theft and arson case, none of them came! ”
Zhang Shou didn't move, he didn't even blink his eyes: "Zhang Chen, they have something to do, so there is no need to force it." As for listening, you are too impetuous, keep a normal mind, and you will naturally be able to listen. ”
Nonsense, he used to be so bored in the class, but now it's just a nonsense lecture for more than half an hour, which is a small meaning!
Not only that, but while he was distracted, he could also hear the movements around him, and he was not afraid of being found out. But the next moment, he heard the third prince who had always been the most kind to people on the side couldn't help but mutter.
"But what Hong Shanchang said is too cloudy."
It is indeed too reluctant to let this little old child listen to philosophy. Zhang Shou thought so in his heart, but he didn't realize it at all, letting such a young child go to learn mathematics with a group of others before, it was also a seedling to help - if Lu Sanlang is indeed a genius who is quite talented in mathematics and business, then the third prince like Xiaodouding is even more a genius.
Therefore, he tilted his head slightly to approach the third prince and laughed softly: "Zheng Rong, mathematics, physics and chemistry are very important, but literature, history and philosophy are equally important, and they should not be neglected." ”
Knowing the title of this mathematics, physics, chemistry, literature, history and philosophy, the third prince will definitely be confused, so after such a very general lesson, he said in a low voice: "Don't frown, don't be dazed, and don't shake your head, because this will make people who have been observing you dissatisfied and despised." Listen hard whether you can understand it or not...... At the very least, make it appear like you're trying to listen. ”
Lu Sanlang pricked up his ears to listen to Zhang Shou's admonition to the third prince, and when he heard the front, he couldn't help nodding secretly, thinking that Zhang Shou really caught the point, but when he heard the last very slight sentence, he almost choked and coughed.
Is Zhang Shou just pretending? But when he thought about it just now, he found that Zhang Shou's lips were squirming, and he casually derived some very simple explanations of terms according to what Hong Shanchang said, and told them to the third prince. He was just eavesdropping at first, but unconsciously left Hong Shanchang on the stage completely behind, and listened to Zhang Shou's commentary seriously.
Zhang Shou is indeed not so interested in philosophy, but he still has a lot of knowledge of literature and history, and at this time, he will also tell the three princes about the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty, what is the explanation of a bunch of physicists for the words of reason, what is the matter of saving heavenly principles and destroying human desires, and what is the difference between the truth in science and mathematics and physics......
Fortunately, Zhang Shousi was surrounded by students from Jiuzhangtang, and most of them were impatient to listen to Hong Shanchang's long speech, so even if it was found that Zhang Shou was instilling some subtle things in the third prince, there were far more people who pricked up their ears to eavesdrop at this time like Lu Sanlang than those who listened to Hong Shanchang's lectures.
In Hong Shanchang's opinion, not only did his carefully prepared lecture not achieve the desired effect, but also from the prison to the people, there were many people who were drowsy there, and he couldn't help but feel sad and disappointed. If this was in Yuzhang Academy, he would have scolded him harshly, but now that he wanted to scold, he couldn't help but think of the earnest instructions of his mentor, the old mountain chief.
"When you arrive in the capital, think more about self-denial and revenge, don't be impatient, let alone irritable......"
So, with deep resentment and dissatisfaction, Hong Shanchang finally walked off the podium, and the corresponding applause was quite warm, which was the only thing he was pleased with. He didn't know that a certain cheap-mouthed lifter had already said cool things behind his back.
If he knew, the applause was not because he spoke well, but because he was grateful that he had finally finished speaking, I don't know if he would have turned his back on it! He might as well take out the Four Books and Five Classics and talk about them, which are much more interesting than these things. ...... Science Hehe, there are so many physicists in the Two Song Dynasty, and we in Guangdong have also had a much higher level of teaching than him, why should we listen to him? ”
Although Fang Qing and Song Juren have always been bitter enemies, he couldn't help but say when comparing his own teacher Yue Shanchang and Hongshan Chang just now: "It's really too old-fashioned...... No, it should be said that it is too stereotypical. You must know that the emperor summoned several mountain chiefs to Beijing this time, it is said that he wants to promote all disciplines and let a hundred flowers bloom, but he instead advocates the rational character, which is not in line with the holy will. ”
When the old man on the side heard Fang Qing say this, he couldn't help but have his eyes lit up, and before the third Xiao Shanchang had started to speak, he immediately asked: "How does the virtuous brother know that the emperor is going to promote all the sciences this time, and a hundred flowers will bloom?" ”
Fang Qing was just outspoken for a while, and when the old man asked, he was not stupid and immediately realized his gaffe. However, he wanted not to answer this, but people were sitting next to him, and even the people around him who had just heard his and Song Juren's comments looked at him, and he suddenly felt some sweat on his back.
At this time, it was Song Juren who unhurriedly unhurriedly unhurried and said, "Isn't this obvious? Before Zhaoming Academy, Yue Shanchang, was good at agriculture, and Zhaoming Academy has cultivated talents in farmland and water conservancy. Xiao Shanchang, who just went up, is also a powerful character, it is said that he is very good at building bridges, and many bridges in Nanzhili and Zhejiang are drawings drawn by him. ”
Seeing that many people were looking at him, he suddenly became even more proud: "Not only the bridge, but also the students in the Taihu Academy, and even those from boat families, it is said that some of them know very well the art of pulling stars commonly used at sea." As for Huating Academy......"
Song Juren paused, then shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's just as unusual, Xu Shanchang is very good at building and gardening." Many gardens in Songjiang, Yangzhou, Suzhou, are from his handwriting, but he doesn't promote them very much. In fact, even the Zhang Garden, where Dr. Zhang lives now, was designed by him......"
At this, he suddenly stopped his mouth, and his face looked very unnatural.
Zhang Shou's Zhang Yuan...... It was not an ordinary house, it was rumored to collude with King Ye to plot against him, so he died unexplained in the courtyard of King Lu, the younger brother of the Son of Heaven. To design a courtyard for such a prince, how could that Xu Shanchang take it out and say, he hasn't mentioned it at all these years, and he takes it out to show off, isn't it okay to cause trouble?
Originally, he was just trying to relieve Fang Qing, why was he suddenly infected?
However, the words have already been spoken, and some people around them know it, but some people don't realize it at all, but ask Xu Shanchang with great interest what other gardens he has designed...... Song Juren, who was in a hurry, could only take out all the famous gardens he could think of, and also introduced in detail a certain one he had visited.
Finally, he waited for a voice that made him feel like a fairy: "Enough is enough, shut up!" What is there to show off about these things, what if you have been there, it was not designed by you, shallow! Listen well! ”
If he was usually sarcastic like this, Song Juren would have sneered at him a long time ago, but at this time, he obediently shut up, and then he was relieved to see that the people around him who were asking questions also shut up one by one. Although some people threw a look of annoyance at the young Juren who had stopped them, Song Juren only had gratitude in his heart at this time. There was such a distraction, and finally no one accosted him!
Song Juren listened to Xiao Shanchang and Xu Shanchang's lectures in horror, but he didn't notice what they were talking about. Finally, he saw a familiar figure calmly getting up and walking forward. When the person walked into the hall of spontaneity, he turned around and glanced around, although he couldn't see his position clearly at all, but he seemed to feel that the person was looking in his direction, and even smiled at him.
