In the past, it was not enough to boast, but now there is no end to debauchery. The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day.

This poem by Meng Jiao in the Tang Dynasty in middle age and his first time is probably enough to express Lu Sanlang's proud mood at this moment. Although he didn't get into the Jinshi, and it was probably impossible for him to take the Jinshi exam in his life, the will that had just been sent to him from the palace, and he didn't know why it didn't go so quickly, was enough to make him laugh at many Jinshi.

Because from now on, he, Lu Zhu, the third son of Lu Zhu, has become the prince's attendant (Zheng Qipin) with honor!

That's right, unlike what he heard from Zhang Shou, the six people who were about to be selected by the inmates of the Jiuzhang Hall, he had his own grade!

In the emperor's original words, he even listed his merits, which was nothing more than that as the first chief of the Zhai, he managed the Jiuzhang Hall well, and he also made outstanding contributions when unlocking the Taizu secret box, in addition to the other miscellaneous credits, including the merit of capturing a thief in Cuiyun a year ago - although he couldn't help but feel blushing when he heard it.

Therefore, Lu Sanlang, who was blocked at the door of his bookstore at this time, was smiling and proud. When he heard others coax him to teach him his arithmetic experience, he said earnestly: "I have been reading "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" since I was a child, and then I met a teacher like Bole, and I discovered my talent. However, there is a diligent path in Shushan, and there is no end to learning from the sea. ”

"Do you know how much homework there is in Jiuzhangtang?"

After asking with a serious face, Lu Saburo saw that some people in the audience were coaxing, some people said they didn't know, and some people were shouting and urging him to say quickly, so he clapped his hands, and saw that a few guys behind him moved out a bunch of books, so he took a step back, patted the tall stack of books, and said with emotion: "Others say that I have taught a lot of lessons for teachers, and I only see my scenery." ”

"They didn't see how many exercises I had assigned by the teacher in advance! These are all exercises that I have done, and the exercise books that I have accumulated are now printed out, one is the exercise, and the other is the answer. If you just have a good time, then I suggest you buy an exercise booklet and get a good feel for the difficulty and hard work of Jiuzhangtang, so don't waste money. ”

"But if you are really interested in applying for the Jiuzhangtang, I think many people have heard the teacher once said that people with excellent grades can skip grades. But if a person with an average foundation wants to skip a grade, it is simply difficult. But if you don't skip a grade, you will certainly enter the Nine Chapters Hall, but if you want to achieve a more ambitious goal, then don't think about it. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Sanlang paused, and when he saw that the circle of people around him was silent, he knew that these people must have understood what he was talking about-how to be classmates with the third prince without skipping a grade...... No, to serve as an attendant to the future prince?

"And to skip a grade, it's not just a matter of reading through nine chapters of arithmetic. First of all, you have to take a good look at Patriarch Ge's new compilation of arithmetic, but it is not the same as the way of arithmetic in the nine chapters, it is a step-by-step system, you need to get used to the new symbols, accept new concepts, you need to read the teacher's handouts carefully, and then do the exercises, the answers, this is the formal way to apply for the Jiuzhangtang......"

Seeing that Lu Sanlang was hanging over the river at that mouth, gushing endlessly, Hong Shanchang stood there with a gloomy face, and only after enduring and forbearance did he restrain the urge to come forward and accuse the other party. This is an extraordinary endurance for him.

He even called a roadside helper after Lu Saburo finished selling those books, and asked people to come forward to help him buy a random exercise book and lecture notes, but after the two thick books arrived, he turned a few pages of exercises, and felt that his temples jumped suddenly, and when he looked at the lecture notes that claimed to be Zhang Shou's lectures, he suddenly remembered the time when Zhang Shou lectured.

At that time, Zhang Shou told about the history of foreign countries, and he really scoffed at it.

And the essentials of arithmetic that Zhang Shou said next, he listened to it in a fog. But listening to people's lectures, and reading books at this time is different, he has always been self-defeating erudite, at this time looking at the symbols and graphics like ghost paintings, he subconsciously wanted to scold the strange weapon obscene, but when the words came to his mouth, he saw Lu Sanlang, who was enthusiastically sharing the life of Jiuzhangtang, in the end he still brushed his sleeves away.

Hong Shanchang thought that Lu Sanlang was surrounded by so many people, and it was impossible to see him, but Lu Sanlang was a person who watched and listened to all directions, but in fact, he found out that he didn't look like he was watching the excitement at the first time. Therefore, he didn't notice at all, and he rushed back angrily, with a small tail on his back.

sent someone to follow Hong Shanchang just in case, Lu Sanlang didn't care about this guy anymore, but continued his own sales plan. Because the third prince is about to be promoted to the crown prince, Jiuzhangtang has changed from the initial unpopular to the hot one now, and the new edition of Ge's arithmetic has been urgently in the process of printing, so his personal promotion of this wave is naturally very good.

In less than half an hour, the handouts and workbooks that had just been taken out were all swept away. So much so that when the new batch of scholars heard the news, they were faced with empty bookshelves.

In this regard, Lu Sanlang hurriedly patted his chest and assured people, and with Zhang Shou's handout, the emperor personally ordered people to print books, so there will definitely be no shortage, but now the reason why the ceremonial supervisor in the palace is still urgently printing the reason why he persuaded the disappointed scholars to go back. As for those who want to buy exercise books, he also told them one by one that fifty copies will be printed in a hurry tomorrow, so please hurry up.

Seeing that his bookstore had changed from a busy city just now, to a crowded place now, and no one cared about it, the steward in charge of this place suddenly stepped forward and asked, "Third son, why do you want to tell them that there is no more?" ...... in this warehouse"

Before anyone could finish speaking, Lu Sanlang glared at him fiercely: "Do you know what it means to be unwanted?" ”

When he saw that the steward had realized something, he said angrily: "There is a way, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is better than a concubine, and a concubine is better than stealing, and stealing is better than stealing......"

He didn't care how shocking his vulgar metaphor was, and said lightly: "It's like these scholars, if Jiuzhangtang has always been open to recruiting students and desperately recruiting them, they will instead have to take a stand and refuse to go." Thanks to the teacher's high standards and strict requirements, they would rather not find anyone than fill the number indiscriminately, and they just maintain a class, so they can't ask for it. ”

"Now such a large number of people are rushing for the future Crown Prince's Royal Highness, although it is indeed a quick success, but maybe there will be a few talents. However, we must not get used to them, and then we must let others turn to us. ”

The steward was muttered by Lu Sanlang's simple and clear reasoning, and had to be cautiously reminded: "But, Childe, maybe the people who come to buy books are mixed with people from other bookstores, in case they also secretly print ......"

"Huh." This time, Lu Saburo showed a very warm smile, but those who are familiar with him know that when this kind of smile appears on the face of the third prince, it is not a guarantee, but someone is bound to be unlucky.

Zhang Chen and the others were stranded in the capital because they were going to attend the wedding of Mr. Zhu and Mr. Xiao. Seeing that our little gentleman is about to become the master of the East Palace, if anyone pirates these things, won't they just have trouble with him? I have a word in the first place, and I don't take a penny from the harvest of these books! ”

"All of them are for the teacher, and they should be given to him as a wedding gift! Therefore, from today onwards, their manpower has been scattered all over the city, one is to see if anyone has broken ground on Tai Sui's head, and the other is to inquire if there is any unfavorable rumor, three...... Everyone has to find the right gift, who can be like me, just print a little book and solve the problem! ”

When he got into the car under the admiring gaze of the steward, Lu Sanlang immediately breathed a long sigh of relief, and then clenched his fists and twisted his ass excitedly, how proud was it ten times more than in front of people?

Fortunately, there was no one else at this time, and the thick curtain completely obscured his ecstasy, only the horse pulling the cart slowly swallowed forward, feeling the resistance added to it as the heavy fat man in the carriage behind him writhed his body.

When the carriage stopped in front of the gate of Lu's house, Lu Sanlang was about to lift the curtain and get out of the car, but he only heard a respectful voice outside: "Welcome the third young master back to the house." ”

Lu Sanlang was stunned for a moment, and saw that the curtain of the car was raised high from outside, and with the cold wind blowing in, it was a face with an infinite smile. Seeing the neatly lined up at the door to welcome at least seventeen or eighteen people, he did not have the pleasure of not bullying the poor young man and Lao Tzu as a hero, but muttered in his heart.

Although the descendants of the Lu family do have the problem of watching people put down dishes, most of them tend to worship his two elder brothers, and more people look down on him, but they are not so condescending and superficial to the point of such an exaggerated tendency to inflammatory, right?

After calmly getting out of the car, he got an unexpected and reasonable answer.

"Madame said, Third Young Master, now that you finally have an official position and background, you should also have a good time, so I ordered everyone in the family to come out and line up to greet the young master. When the master comes back, the lady will ask to worship the ancestors, so as to report to the ancestors about your achievements now, young master, and give you a breath of anger in your heart. ”

is worthy of being his mother, this is the person who is really happy for him! This is the right reason, brocade night walking, what is the taste of that!

Lu Sanlang's eyebrows were fluttering, his heart was very ironed, and he immediately rushed to his mother without thinking about it, and his petty diligence was exactly the same as when he made mistakes in the past and was afraid of being beaten by his father to please his mother. Mrs. Lu was already partial to this big fat son, but now that she is proud of others, she still puts herself first, which is really happy.

So, Erlang, the eldest of the Lu family, who came back in the evening, experienced the dilemma of his mother taking Lu Saburo out to fight them for the first time in his life. If it was usual, they could still count on their father to come out and speak to them, but today, Lu Xuan, who had always been facing them, didn't say anything, and the two could only be counted down by their mother.

At this moment, the little fat man was simply light inside and out, and he was very proud, until he finished a meal, he was taken to the study by his father and claimed to be discussing important matters, and even made a grimace at the two brothers, and only when he saw the iron faces of the two, he walked away.

Lu Juan didn't care about the open and secret struggle between his three sons, and as soon as he returned to the study, he said bluntly: "Isn't your teacher still trustworthy?" Will he be able to move Jiuzhangtang to the public school? ”

"Yes, yes, yes." Lu Saburo smiled with a hippie smile, and then said sincerely, "But you can't be in a hurry." You must know that Guozijian Da Si Cheng and Shao Si Cheng have been so frightened that they are urgently joining forces among the school officials because of the teacher's previous words, and they also plan to move out of the old system of Taizu to fight with the teacher who plans to insist on doing so. ”

Seeing that Lu Juan's forehead wrinkled into a big pimple, Lu Xiaochubby smiled and said: "However, the two of them now know that if they release Jiuzhangtang, the status of this national eunuch will immediately be leaned back, but others don't think so." The scholars in the Doctor's Hall are not used to seeing the teacher for a day or two, as long as they put in a little effort, Jiuzhangtang will come out of the Guozijian Prison, it will be easy. ”

Lu Juan glanced at his young son, who had never liked him before, and only felt that he was really blind in the past.

Such a talented, scheming, and money-making son, why does he feel that people are unproductive?

He simply gave up the topic and said bluntly: "You're going to go to the East Palace to study, do you know what you should do?" ”

"Of course you know, isn't it just a change of place to help the teacher substitute for the teacher?" Lu Sanlang spit out such an answer nonchalantly, and seeing that Lu Juan was almost so angry that he frowned, he quickly said with a hippie smile, "Dad, don't worry, I know this matter in my heart." Teachers don't give up on one end and the other, so I have to work a little harder. ”

"If the teacher didn't explain it clearly, I picked up the gaps, and I helped tutor the exercises that the teacher couldn't tutor. Fortunately, I'm not the only one, Senior Brother Qi will come back when I turn around, and he has to be counted as one. ”

Lu Juan was very dissatisfied with Lu Sanlang's indifferent attitude, and was about to knock Lu Sanlang with a lot of opponents, not to be ignored, but he was directly choked by his son and had nothing to say: "Dad, I'm still young, it's not time to guard against this and that!" Senior Brother Qi is a sincere person, not to mention that his foundation is better than mine, and he has been running around Xuanda for so long. ”

"He and Deng Xiaodao are actually the teacher's big disciples, and it is a good habit to respect the seniors, otherwise how could the third prince respect me?"

Lu Juan only felt that it was a big mistake to talk to Lu Sanlang, and if he continued to talk about it, he would be angry to death, so he could only scold angrily: "Okay, your wings are hard, you can do whatever you want!" Roll on, just your virtue, the East Palace attendant doesn't know how many days you can do, don't get carried away! The more proud people are, the more likely they are to be plotted! ”

Lu Sanlang originally didn't like to listen to Lu Juan's words pouring cold water, but when he heard the last sentence, he suddenly stopped when he was going out. He smiled and said calmly: "I'm very proud and happy, but I know where the current scenery comes from, so I won't get carried away, Dad, you don't have to worry about me." My biggest wish now is to take advantage of this rare opportunity to make a big profit. ”

"By the way, there is still a new drama to listen to Yu Xiaozhu, Dad, you have always been romantic, remember to go to the show." When he heard this, Lu Juan subconsciously grabbed a brush and threw it at Lu Sanlang's back. It's really infuriating to raise such a rebel!
