Ge Yong has been lonely for the past two years, even if some students are willing to come over to accompany him, an old man, he has been ruthlessly pushed back. At his age, the students are all married and have a career, and there are a bunch of juniors under him, and they still come to accompany him, an old man, doesn't he care about his family?

But now he has one more young closed disciple, but this year he took the initiative to invite Zhang Shou - just ahead of the Zhao Guogong Mansion. In previous years, he didn't often stay up to the time of the child, most of them went to bed early, and then he was awakened by the sound of firecrackers from the outside government and the people, so he often felt annoyed every New Year, but today is different, the old man is actually interested in keeping the time well.

And when he saw the little guys brought by Zhang Shou crackling and setting off New Year's firecrackers, he finally couldn't help yawning. As early as when he invited Zhang Shou, he called Wu, and expected that there would be a lot of people who came with him, so after finding that Zhang Shou brought everyone in the family from top to bottom, he not only did not feel annoyed, but he was also very happy, but no matter how happy he was, his spirit was limited.

Therefore, Mr. Ge didn't notice at all that Zhang Shou had been a little distracted since he talked to Ah Liu. Until Zhang Shou personally sent him back to his room to rest, he seemed to have not heard a lot of messy news on this Chinese New Year's Eve, and commanded Zhang Shou to turn around. Although he prepared guest rooms for everyone else, he insisted on keeping Zhang Shou to sleep in the same room with him.

Of course, the rosewood bed against the wall belongs to him, and the soft couch belongs to Zhang Shou. When he sat on the bed, Ge Yong smiled at Zhang Shou, who was bending down to open the quilt for him.

"Ah Shou, since your eldest brother has returned, your marriage will be soon. When that guy Zhu Jing comes back, I'll be a big matchmaker for you and discuss your marriage with him. What about you, if you have time, hurry up and take someone to clean up the Luwang Mansion Courtyard...... By the way, there are not enough people around you, hurry up and recruit people, if it's not enough, I'll find a way for you to find two proper dental stores to hire a few people! ”

Zhang Shou didn't expect Mr. Ge to care so much about his life's events, and after being slightly stunned, he smiled bitterly: "The recruitment that the teacher said is also what I originally wanted to do." However, there was a little guy next to me who was too mobile, and he did something I didn't expect......"

Zhang Shou told him about the conversation with Ah Liu before, and when he saw Ge Yong unconsciously starting to pull his beard, he added in a low voice: "Ah Liu said that all he was looking for were ground snakes, teacher, think about it, these guys are mixed in the three sects and nine streams all day long, and they talk about people when they see people, and they talk nonsense when they see ghosts, and they are the most slippery." It's okay for this kind of person to inquire about the news, but how can it be possible for them to do things in peace? ”

Ge Yong almost pulled his beard off, and then he smiled. He comfortably leaned on the big pillow behind him, stretched out his finger and pointed at Zhang Shou and said, "You kid, you still haven't seen through Ah Liu!" Do you think he's stupid? Will you expect those who inquire about the news to be honest with you in the future? Oh, as long as you go back and recruit someone who finds out the clues, no one will dare to bury nails in your house. ”

Zhang Shou suddenly understood what Ge Yong meant, and couldn't help but gasp at the moment, and said in disbelief: "What the teacher means is that he is a daughter who buys horse bones...... No, that's not an appropriate word...... He recruited such a person to show people that he had the strength to find out the roots of all the servants? Ah Liu actually uses the art of war? Knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, a plan to kill two birds with one stone? ”

"Who knows? A guy who doesn't hum or haha is not necessarily not smart. Ge Yong yawned again, and then said lazily, "As for the Zhao State Mansion, the response to these things of the Great Chinese New Year's Eve may also be unexpected...... In short, since Zhu Jing's father and son are safe, then it's no big deal, let's just watch the excitement! It's late, hurry up and go to sleep! ”

Seeing that Ge Yong said this, he directly drilled into the quilt, and then squinted his eyes comfortably, and he made an even breathing sound in a moment, Zhang Shou glanced at the relaxed old man with some gratitude, and didn't care whether people were really sleeping or fake sleeping, and said in a low voice: "Teacher, I've always wanted to say to you, thank you." ”

"When I was in the village, if you hadn't suddenly come to support me, even if I had shown my true colors to many students in Cuiyun's room, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to run away with the words "deceiving the world and stealing my name". And when I arrived in the capital, if it weren't for the support of the name of Master Ge's closed disciple, even if I had the credit of capturing the traitor, I would definitely not be able to be Dr. Guozi. ”

"And without you behind me, Zhang Chen and they can't obey me so easily; Needless to say, those boys and buddies in Banshan Hall who think very highly of themselves don't have a fuel-efficient lamp; It is even more impossible for Jiuzhangtang to reopen enrollment so smoothly. So, you said before that I had no ambition and had to put so many books under your name, but I know you know. ”

I know you know, or you can guess, that there's something wrong with those textbooks – a sixteen-year-old boy, no matter how talented he is, always has the limits of his ability to write those books easily. Even if you didn't notice it when you first happily recognized me as a closed disciple in public, you must have guessed later.

Therefore, after Zhang Shou finished saying the last extremely awkward sentence, he sighed and said: "I think that in most academies nowadays, there is a problem with the progress, and the effect of seven or eight-year-old children learning the Analects is completely different from that of teenage children. Teachers and parents use the requirements of geniuses to measure students and juniors, but this is not true. ”

"It's the same with arithmetic, expecting beginners to read nine chapters of arithmetic as soon as they come up will only scare people away. Therefore, the current extremely fast teaching progress of Jiuzhangtang is a special case, and it is only suitable for those inmates in Jiuzhangtang who have good arithmetic understanding, and cannot be popularized. ”

"I hope that Ge's arithmetic can be popularized in depth, so that more people can start from the basics and learn little by little. Maybe most people just need to learn how to do addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and don't need to know so deeply, but, as with the book I'm writing about Physics, I want more people to learn to think. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Shou gently blew out the light next to the bed, and then quietly returned to his soft couch where the bed had been made, and undressed and lay down. The reason why he changed the first volume of nature he was writing to physics was because he thought about it and felt that the word physics was more suitable - not only because of the reason of things, but in fact, he still preferred his own understanding that physics is the principle of all things.

After his student days passed, he also felt that science was really chicken, neither as good as Chinese to train people's language skills, nor as English as English to learn and apply when going abroad for exchanges, it was simply thrown into the trash when leaving the school, but later he gradually tasted that for ordinary people, science cultivates thinking logic and is a kind of vision of the world.

When he closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep, Old Man Ge, who was breathing evenly, opened his eyes again and woke up brightly. Looking at the tent on his head, the old man was very satisfied with his eyes.

He has seen a lot of followers who are good at appeasing the people, he has also seen a lot of Qing officials who clearly judge cases, he has seen a lot of generals who can fight, and he has seen a lot of mountain chiefs who open academies...... However, compared with those Confucians who use courtesy, righteousness, honesty and shame to educate the people, what Zhang Shou wants to do is completely different. The little guy actually thought of a different kind of education. Perhaps, what people want is to enlighten the people!

If it were replaced by some people, they would definitely think that this was simply incredible, and even ill-intentioned, and the people would all think about it, instead of being kneaded by the emperor and officials, and let you do whatever you want, so how can you do it! But he felt that it was the way to go. You must know that the Ge family passed down an original sentence of Emperor Taizu from the old ancestor who followed Taizu.

If the wisdom of the people is not opened, the country is not clear.

In the early morning of the first day of the first lunar month, Zhang Shou was awakened again by the crackling sound of firecrackers. He rubbed his eyes a little sleepily, and it took him a long time to realize that this was a night in Gefu. But when he sat up with his relief, he found that the big bed against the wall was long gone, and even the quilt was neatly folded.

He thumped his head with some annoyance, secretly wondering why he slept so deadly, but when he just lifted the quilt and pulled his shoes to get out of bed and dress, he heard the sound of Ge Yong's throat hanging outside. At first, he thought it was singing, but when he listened to it, he realized that it was reading something, and when he listened to it, he realized that something was wrong.

It seems, probably, probably, maybe...... No, it must be listening to the lines of the peach blossom fan written by Yu Xiaozhu's twelve rains!

Zhang Shou didn't know if Ge Yong was on a whim, or if he deliberately read it to him, so he hurriedly dressed and put on his shoes, and then quickly tidied up his hair. This was a skill he had acquired after a long stay in the Imperial Prison, so in a matter of moments, he cleaned himself up and went out to open the door.

Although he shivered from the cold wind blowing on his face, after wrapping himself tightly, he still walked quickly towards Ge Yong.

"The teacher got up so early? Don't call me a word. ”

"You kid sleeps like a dead pig, even if I pinch you, I may not wake up, how do you call it?" Ge Yong glanced at Zhang Shou with contempt, and then said unquestionably, "Fortunately, at the time of the Zhengdan Dynasty, Emperor Taizu changed it, otherwise I wouldn't have let you sleep so late!" Hurry up and have breakfast, then hurry to the court, and then come back and go out with me to pay New Year's greetings. ”

Zhang Shou was suddenly surprised. You know, because there are too many officials in the capital, this kind of thing is often a false story, and on the first day of the new year, it is over to post New Year's greetings everywhere to express your heart, even if you are very familiar with relatives, you only send a junior to pay a New Year's greeting during the New Year, otherwise relatives and friends will not be able to go at all. But if it is placed on Ge Yong, this custom will not be established.

At Mr. Ge's age, this prestige, this identity, and this status, shouldn't he sit at home and wait for someone to come to pay New Year's greetings?

Ge Yong was annoyed and embarrassed by Zhang Shou's surprised gaze, and said angrily at the moment: "Why, when I am one of those old Fengweng who is idle at home and waits for someone to kowtow to me? On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I often go to Lao Qi and Lao Chu's place for a stroll, and when I come back, my students should also come to pay New Year's greetings, and you happen to meet your senior brothers. ”

After a pause, he said lightly: "Of course, if you meet anyone on the road, I can also take you to recognize people by the way." If there are many people in the family, just send a note to listen to the rain Xiaozhu Twelve Rain to come over, dance, or act in a play, wouldn't it be lively? ”

The words in front are very serious and very reasonable, but when I heard the last half, Zhang Shou didn't know where he was, Ge Yong did it on purpose! He thought about it, but finally decided not to explain, and readily agreed.

After breakfast, Zhang Shou rushed to Zhengdan Dynasty to deal with an errand, and then rushed back to eat something hastily to feed his hunger, so he went out with Ge Yong, and found that the old man was sitting in the car in the cold day but always opened the curtains to look out, but whenever he met an acquaintance, he stopped, and then pulled him to gossip with people, Zhang Shou couldn't help but be helpless.

Ge Yong was a dazzling maniac, especially when he only walked three streets in half an hour, and stopped seven times, and each time it was my student, he almost smirked so much that his cheeks hurt a little.

Visiting Qi Yunshan's house was smooth sailing, Mrs. Qi was originally a smiling, kind and reasonable old man, Zhang Shou not only got a compliment on his face, but also brought all the gifts he brought by Ge Yong, and he even got a red envelope from Qi Yunshan! Ge Yong not only didn't help him excuse himself, but even had an expression of not taking it for nothing, and added fuel to the fire.

And the trip to the Chu family after having a serious lunch at the Qi family was not so easy, Zhang Shou once again witnessed the two old children needle-to-point play against Mai Mang, and the most speechless thing was that the two of them were almost about to fight on the spot - this time the thing was tall, it turned out to be a solar eclipse! In desperation, he could only find a way to gag with Chu Ying's eldest son, and finally dragged Ge Yong away.

When he finished running on these two sides, he helped Ge Yong into the car and prepared to go home, and finally couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead. But as soon as he sat down, he heard the driver driving outside say in a deep voice: "Master, I just heard the news, the family members of the several imperial historians involved in those cases yesterday shouted loudly outside, saying that the people who sued them were all instructed by the Zhao State Mansion. ”

"Heh, look, this is really here?"

Ge Yong knocked on the car board with his fingers with a smile, and ordered him to go home, then he looked at Zhang Shou and said earnestly: "On the one hand, there is a complaint, and on the other hand, there is a cry for injustice, anyone can see that those imperial histories have made a big deal this time, but what about the Zhao Guogong Mansion?" The people were quiet, not even a sound. The people may think that someone is framing it, but the DPRK and China ......"

He smiled as he spoke, the current world report, come quickly, those families didn't count their families to be so stupid, right?

And Zhang Shou tasted the sudden incident just now, and he had already heard what the teacher said. It stands to reason that they have put their family in the position of being framed as victims, and those imperial historians just need to wait for themselves to be "washed away". But on the first day of the Lunar New Year, their families shouted grievances everywhere, which not only damaged the image of the victims, but also had a feeling that there were no silver taels here.

Thinking that this bucket of dirty water might have been splashed by Zhao Guogong's mansion, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, secretly thinking that this officialdom was really doing everything. Sure enough, as the carriage slowly moved along the street, among the various noisy sounds outside, he could hear from time to time the discussion of the Chinese New Year's Eve and the series of farces on the first day of the first lunar month, and he knew that this matter was indeed a big trouble.

The car stopped at the gate of Gefu, and the porter immediately hurried forward. Seeing Zhang Shou, who got out of the car first, helped Ge Yong down, the porter gestured with a smile on his face. There is no doubt that Zhang Shou can't understand it at all.

"A lot of New Year's greetings? Waiting until now, refusing to leave without seeing me? Ge Yong took the initiative to translate it for Zhang Shou, and then raised his eyebrows, his face full of suspicion, "Didn't you say a long time ago, don't let anyone in if you have nothing to do?" ”

Seeing that the porter began to gesture again, his brows gradually stretched, but he looked sideways at Zhang Shou, and then smiled: "I think, there are only a few students in the capital, and most of the protégés are just sending Zhang posts, and there are not many people who will come in person, so how many people will come to pay New Year's greetings." It turned out that your students came to me! ”
