Zhang Shou actually thought that if the colored cotton seeds were planted, there would be no good results?

When he left Qin Yuan, Zhang Wu, who had just listened to Zhang Chen's long explanation, only felt that his heart was completely messed up, and he even almost took the wrong path several times. Not only him, but Zhang Lu was no better, he couldn't give up his soul along the way, if it wasn't for the guards to follow and remind, he would have almost run into the ditch several times. Seeing that the capital was imminent, the brothers were stationed in Ma one after another.

"Xiao Wu, do you believe what Zhang Chen said?"

Zhang Wu suddenly heard Zhang Lu's straightforward question, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he thought about it carefully before he nodded and said, "Believe." Mr. Xiao has no reason to lie to us, and Brother Chen has no reason to lie to us. You know, without them, we wouldn't be where we are today. ”

Zhang Lu was slightly stunned, and then laughed and said, "I knew you would answer like this." You have been a grateful person since you were a child, just like your mother-in-law, as long as you are a little kind to you, you will immediately be grateful to Dade, not to mention Zhang Chen and ...... Little Mister? However, one of them will definitely inherit the title of Duke of Qin in the future, and the other will be the Chenglong Jia's son-in-law of the Duke of Zhao, so naturally they will not see the money. ”

He deliberately accentuated the tone of the four words that saw Qian's eyes, but he only saw Zhang Wu nodding in agreement, and he didn't seem to hear his voice at all, and he was suddenly a little discouraged, and it took a while to regain his strength.

"Xiao Wu, although Mr. Xiao was born in the countryside and knows a little bit about agriculture, he doesn't know how to grow cotton very well, otherwise he wouldn't let people try to plant overseas varieties, right?"

Seeing that Zhang Wu hesitated for a moment, he nodded slightly, and Zhang Lu said with a straight face: "The brown cotton was seen in the field by ourselves, and then we personally watched the people harvest it, and even the seeds were given by us to the farmer with a sum of money, and we personally took people to collect them, and then brought them all to the capital." How can there be a problem with this kind of sub? ”

Zhang Wu opened his mouth, and had the intention to refute Zhang Lu's statement, but he was a concubine of a wealthy family, and he was not a poor son of a farmer's family.

Therefore, he hesitated for a while, and finally said uncertainly: "Maybe it's the same as what Zhang Chen said to us before about purification, degradation and rejuvenation, there is a lot of attention in planting cotton, so simply harvest the seeds and then plant them, that's not okay?" ”

"Huh." Zhang Lu laughed twice, but he didn't want to say any more. Besides, even if he and Zhang Wu have been like brothers since he was a child, it may attract the suspicion of the other party. He shook the reins slightly, and then shrugged his shoulders: "Anyway, it's useless to talk about these things anymore, whether the seeds are stolen or burned, there is not a single grain left." ”

"Yes, Brother Chen also said that he originally planned to find a way to sell it at a high price, or use other methods to get a vote, but he was used by someone to use such a trick to kill the household." Zhang Wu shook his head helplessly, but soon cheered up again, "But Brother Chen gave us the drawings of the new loom, and instructed us to talk to Suzhou Hua Siye, which is also worth it." ”

Zhang Lu was too lazy to mock Zhang Wu's mind of being a little rich. The new loom has many users in Cangzhou and Xingtai, how can it be hidden? What's more, the drawings of the textile machine were dedicated to the emperor by Zhang Shou, and the drawings of this loom ...... Do you know that Zhang Shou will not extort a sum of money from the eldest prince like he did at the beginning, extort a sum of money from the fourth master of Hua and then go to the imperial court?

In the end, they may not only work in vain, but then they will have to carry the black pot because they cheated Hua Siye.

However, he didn't say anything, just nodded lightly and said, "Well, that's what you said. ”

In the afternoon, Zhang Shou, who was in Jiuzhangtang, got the news that Qin Yuanjin was suspected of being set on fire by Qin Yuanjin Snitch from Lu Sanlang, who hurriedly came to report the news. Faced with Lu Sanlang, who was angry and had a good reaction in front of Zhang Chen, he actually comforted the little fat man a few words in turn, and then urged people to prepare for the upcoming finals, don't be nosy.

But when he started the afternoon class casually after lunch, at the beginning of the second class, he found that Zhu Ying, who was in a hurry, had arrived at the gate and was looking in eagerly. Although according to the serious classroom discipline, he should treat it as if he didn't see it, but even if he has the ability to turn a blind eye and listen but not hear, it is not for Zhu Ying.

Therefore, he simply wrote a question on the blackboard casually, arranged for everyone to practice in the classroom, and then clapped his hands and walked to the door. Seeing that Zhu Ying was about to speak, he glanced at the people in the hall who were concentrating on solving the problem, and then put an index finger on his mouth to make a silent gesture, and then beckoned Zhu Ying to talk to him in front of him.

When she arrived at the open space in front of Jiuzhang Hall, Zhu Ying immediately shouted eagerly: "Ah Shou......"

Without waiting for Zhu Ying to say the next sentence, Zhang Shou smiled and said, "If you want to talk about Qin Yuan, I know everything!" Lu Xiaofat's legs are short but his legs are fast, he has already been here. You don't have to worry, that doesn't matter. Whether it was burned or stolen, it was the same thing. Compared with the seeds brought back by the old salted fish from overseas, this so-called colorful cotton auspicious is nonsense at all. ”

Zhu Ying had already thought of comforting Zhang Shou, and the words were all blocked in her mouth. She looked at Zhang Shou dumbfounded, and asked in disbelief for a long time: "Are you telling the truth, aren't you comforting me?" ”

"Why am I comforting you? It's important to be really precious, shouldn't it be that I want to cry without tears, and then you do everything possible to comfort me? Zhang Shou laughed as he spoke, and then blinked loosely, "Compared to this loss of the horse, I don't know if it's a blessing, I want to know, what did your father say?" ”

It's okay not to talk about this, as soon as she said this, Zhu Ying was suddenly full of anger, and immediately said angrily: "How else can I say it, it was all done by the emperor, he is too tricky!" ”

As soon as the two words of this pit man came out, Zhu Ying suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar black face not far away. Recognized it as Xu Heiqi, she thought that she came here today to inform Zhang Shou, but now that Zhang Shou knows, she doesn't want to deal with this famous black-faced guy, so she immediately said angrily: "What you want to know, I will say to Ah Liu later, let him tell you, I'll go first!" ”

Seeing Zhu Ying say it, she immediately turned around and left, without any mud and water, and remembered that Lu Sanlang was also like her, and when she saw Xu Heizi, she took a detour, and Zhang Shou suddenly sighed. However, he and Xu Heiyu were as light as a gentleman's friendship, and at this time Zhu Ying had already left, and he had no intention of greeting people during class, and after turning around and returning to Jiuzhangtang, he planned to check everyone's problem solving status by the way.

However, he passed by the fourth prince who was sitting at the end, and when he saw the marks on the paper, he immediately stopped, and his eyes swept over the barrel of the pen that the person was biting hard, and he did not alarm the little guy in the slightest, and continued to walk quietly forward. After watching the problem-solving process of several people, he stood behind the third prince.

I saw that the little fellow was concentrating on calculating, and his handwriting was neat, but most importantly, the ideas were extremely clear, and the format was exactly the same as what he taught. He still remembers that even himself, when he first came into contact with the unfamiliar field of geometry, although the idea of solving the problem was still clear, he was not used to the rigorous format of the proof question.

What he especially hated was that when he was a beginner in geometry, his teacher repeatedly asked for the name of the theorem to be written in parentheses at the end.

And now, looking at the third prince who was only more than half his age at the time, but he was meticulous in proving the question, Zhang Shou couldn't help but sigh in his heart. A person who strictly abides by the rules may not be able to become a great person, but if he strictly abides by the rules and is very organized, then the probability of this person becoming a big person will be much stronger than that of ordinary people.

If you add it to a strong focus, outstanding talent, and rare diligence...... If such a child doesn't make a big deal, it will be unreasonable!

He stopped and watched for a while, and finally left quietly, and then stood behind the others for a while, especially after looking at Zhai Chang Ji Jiu's solution ideas, and finally returned to the podium. When he pinched the time to announce the pause, he asked with a smile: "Please raise your hand to the person who has made it, let me see how many people have made it?" ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand unevenly, probably only about a third of the class. However, Zhang Shou noticed that in addition to the three princes and Ji Jiu, as well as a few people who had shown strong learning ability and talent within a few days, among the people who raised their hands, there were also four princes.

However, he didn't seem to see the little guy, and said with a smile: "Very good, next, I will show you the solution." Incidentally, there are four ways to prove this question. ”

When the fourth prince saw Zhang Shou glancing at him, he was so nervous that he almost stopped breathing, however, when Zhang Shou really looked over, as if he didn't mean to pay attention to him at all, he had an indescribable grievance. So, Zhang Shou wrote one solution after another, his eyes were looking, but his mind was not on it at all, until ......

Until Zhang Shou beckoned him to go up and wipe the blackboard again! If it weren't for the fact that there was another student who was five big and three rough to accompany him, the fourth prince didn't know what kind of mistake would go wrong with him at this moment. Obviously he didn't solve the problem, but he deliberately raised his hand, just to know if Zhang Shou would demolish him, and then whether he would reprimand him harshly, but in the end there was nothing.

He just wiped a small piece of blackboard, then absentmindedly returned to his seat, and then wandered around until the end of this second class, with a lot of jumbled symbols written on the paper, but it was not any notes at all.

When he noticed that someone was patting him on the shoulder, and when he looked up and saw that it was the third prince, he saw that Zhang Shou was still talking to Ji Jiu, and he didn't know where he got the courage, Huo Ran stood up and was about to step forward, but the next moment, he felt that he was being dragged down. Turning his head and seeing the third prince with a determined face, he only felt that his mouth was dry, and he didn't know what to say.

Although he sat in the front and the fourth prince sat in the back, it was impossible to turn back when he was concentrating on class, but the third prince still learned about the situation of the fourth prince in class from the reminder of some classmates who were occasionally distracted. Seeing that the fourth prince didn't say yes or no, he just stood there and didn't leave, so he simply grabbed someone's wrist and dragged it out: "Fourth brother, follow me back to the palace!" ”

When he pulled the fourth prince out of the Jiuzhang Hall, when he saw that the people looked extremely reluctant, he shook off his hand and reprimanded: "Fourth brother, you are coming by yourself, but now you are like this, what will others say about you when it is rumored?" ”

"The teachers don't want to talk about me, I'm afraid of what others will say about me!" The fourth prince snorted coldly, and said with a face full of shame, "Anyway, in his eyes, I am not his student, only the third brother, you are his student!" ”

The third prince was shocked and angry, and when he saw the stubborn and aggrieved appearance of the fourth prince, he couldn't help but swallow the reprimand on his lips, and simply went up and grabbed the person's collar and dragged it out directly. He was introverted and shy most of the time, and suddenly looked like this at this time, not to mention that the fourth prince was frightened, even the others who saw it were also frightened.

In a moment, someone rushed into Jiuzhangtang to find Zhang Shou. And when he learned that this was the case, Zhang Shou suddenly laughed: "The third prince is usually too serious, and it is rare to show the momentum of being an elder brother to discipline his younger brother." Brothers work together, their profits are broken, you don't have to worry, the two brothers are fine! ”

Zhang Shoudu said this, even if Ji Jiu and the others were worried, they could only let go of the pair of noble brothers. And the news that Qin Yuan entered the snitch and was set on fire by someone, although Lu Sanlang ran over to report to Zhang Shou, they didn't have time to learn about it, at this time, since Zhang Shou announced that the class was over, everyone packed up their things and went back to their homes.

And Ji Jiu, who has traveled widely, has not yet gone out of the country, and has already learned about this from the former fox friends and dog friends in the Mid-Levels Hall, and he was about to turn back, but think about Lu Sanlang coming at noon, in the second class in the afternoon, he noticed that Zhang Shou went out to talk to Zhu Ying, and it stands to reason that he already knew that he didn't have to do much, so he stopped again.

But when he hesitated for a moment and walked out of the gate of Guozijian, he saw a young man coming forward: "Ji Jiu Gongzi, my son-in-law said that he has not met friends after returning to Beijing for so long, please go over and have a glass of wine." ”

After class, Zhang Shou stopped for a while in the Guozijian Doctor's Hall, and noticed that the eyes of those doctors and other scholars looked at him a little delicately, but none of them came up to ask questions, and he couldn't help but feel stunned in his heart. Although it is reasonable to be colleagues, because he has been repeatedly promoted in more than a year, and his grade has directly followed Zhou Saijiu and Luo Siye, he has become more and more isolated.

However, he didn't care about the intricate interpersonal relationships in this country prison anyway, and sorted out the homework of a few students who had been named and received today—after all, he didn't have time to look at them in person, so he could only take turns watching a few people like this—and then got up and left. As soon as he left the doctor's hall, as soon as the curtain fell, he heard a discussion erupt inside.

He didn't bother to listen to what others said about him behind his back, and after quickly going out to meet Ah Liu, he directly ordered him to go back to Zhang Yuan. On the way, Ah Liu relayed Zhu Ying's information about entering the palace today, and Zhang Shou was speechless when he heard the emperor's intentions. But immediately after, Ah Liu said another thing.

"The madman has just come, and he said that the ghosts in the Qin Garden are not ordinary, because the place where the fire oil is poured in the treasury is very uneven. The place where the seeds were stored was burned to charcoal, and the place where the grain and goods from the north and south were stored were obviously only symbolically poured with a little ignition oil, and a lot of residue remained. ”
