In Downing's mind, there is no need for such respect for a piece of wood. Even if it is more expensive than a diamond, it is still a piece of wood.

It's just that Qi Nan of this quality won't look so good if it sinks for hundreds of years, so it's older than itself, which is no problem.

Then there is the fact that Tang Ning was fortunate to see the butchers in Runzhou City killing cattle, and that time, the ancients really shocked Tang Ning.

You must know that killing cattle was a felony in ancient times, but beef cattle are fine, and it is not too much to say that a cow has a life.

Ordinary people who have a cow in their family are all served by their ancestors, plowing in spring and harvesting in autumn, and relying on Brother Niu.

But when the cow got sick or broke its leg, it had to be killed.

Before the butcher killed the cow, he did three things.

The first is that three days before he killed the cow, he went to Jinshan Temple, didn't eat a meal, took a bath, changed into a new clothes, and knelt in front of the Buddha Hall to close his eyes and meditate, this kneeling is three days.

Three days later, he came back and did a second thing. Widely send out the invitation, there is a great meaning to announce the world, the invitation is to the effect that he is going to kill the cow, please come to watch. And in front of his house, a high platform was erected.

When the man had almost arrived, he led the lame ox to the stage, and with tears in his eyes, he knelt on the ground and held the head of the ox, and said a long speech to the effect that he should persuade the ox to die. Die early and take care of your life, go early this year, come early next year.

I don't know if he did anything, or if the cow was really psychic, so he nodded. At this point, everyone present couldn't cry, and even the catchers who came to maintain order cried as if they had died of their parents.

A group of people whined and shouted that Brother Niu was going well, and then there was a miserable cry. It was Liu Yier who brought Tang Ning that day, she cried fiercely, grabbed Tang Ning's arm and almost didn't throw Tang Ning out, and she couldn't see her human form with a face crying.

In the end, the butcher killed the ox, gave a little meat to each of the people present, shaved the ox clean, and only a skeleton remained, and then he carried the bone himself, saying that on the day he died, he would ask for this bone to be his burial gift.

After Downing learned about the whole process, he was shocked beyond measure. The people of this era, from the emperor to the common people, have an extremely strong sense of ritual.

They are grateful for everything that helps them, and they cherish all the precious things in this world.

Even if it's a piece of wood the size of a fist in front of you, you should pay some respects to it before using it.

In their world, all things are animist. This reminded Tang Ning of the pseudo-virgins in later generations who carried the banner of animal protection, and their practices were not at the same level as the ancients, and the hypocrisy was thorough.

When he stood up, Gong Yihuan was about to hand over the piece of wood to Tang Ning, Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "Don't give it to me now, I have to think about it and what to do with it."

Such a valuable thing can only be made by making the best use of it. ”

Gong Yihuan nodded with satisfaction: "It's a good thing to think twice." ”

After a lunch at the carpenter's shop, Tang Ning set off for the academy. In the past two days, he has had a few more students, that is, the little teenagers who are working and studying in the academy.

They are all children from poor families, and their thirst for knowledge far exceeds that of those students in the academy who have no worries about food and clothing.

Downing doesn't care, teaching one is also teaching, and teaching two is also teaching. However, he recently wrote a superficial textbook and handed it to Shen Kuo, and Zhou Huai discussed with him privately that if Tang Ning really wants to start running around with him one day in the future, he can't stop studying this course.

Let Shen Kuo teach, although Zhou Huai has great doubts about this person's morality, but after thinking about it, it seems that there is no other candidate.

There are not many people who are proficient in arithmetic, those who know a lot about it, either profiteers, or the self-cherished account room, the level is not high and not modest, I always feel that Lao Tzu is the first in the world, one by one pretends to be a grandson on weekdays, and when he asks about arithmetic, his nostrils are facing the sky.

This is Zhou Huai's personal experience, and Tang Ning never stopped laughing when he heard it.

Now the most powerful guy in this gang is at the high school level, and he is the first in the world. Then I'm a college student anyway, haven't I become a god?

So from this point, Shen Kuo scored a lot. Even Su Shi praised Shen Kuo's attitude towards learning.

Rigorous, modest, he is like a leech, greedily sucking from anyone who can bring him knowledge.

In the classroom, he was thinking about what to do with the piece of Qi Nan agarwood, and soon it was time for class.

Zhu Mian and Shen Qian came in with a wolf and a joke, and the two nouveau riche sons soon found common ground and became good friends.

There were many people who witnessed the two of them often going in and out of Qiancui Pavilion, and they also beat the son of a merchant who sold Su Jin in Runzhou to the point that he couldn't get out of bed.

The merchant was angry but came to the door, and the two of them beat him up again in Qiancui Pavilion, and said very presumptuously that Lao Tzu has money, and how many catties of copper will be fined for beating you, what is it?

Money is just a number to grandfathers, and they can't be brought in life or death. It's well worth it to beat you and your son with a tiny number.

After this time, the two became famous, and the good deeds became the rich Zhushen brothers, and they also became the guests of Qiancui Pavilion.

When Tang Ning saw the two of them coming in, he said: "I see the two of you in vain footsteps, dark circles in your eyes, although you are laughing, but you are in a trance, it must be caused by excessive indulgence last night." ”

Shen Qian was shocked, pointed at Tang Ning and said to Zhu Mian: "I just said that he has a master like an immortal, and he must also be a half-immortal." You still don't believe it, you can see what we did last night at a glance, and now do you believe it? ”

Zhu Mian scratched his head and said, "There seems to be no one in Runzhou City now who doesn't know that we are frequent visitors to Qiancui Pavilion. ”

Shen Qian ignored Zhu Mian, turned his head to look at Tang Ning and said sincerely: "Tang Banxian, can you save me?" I've been feeling overwhelmed lately......"

"Kidney deficiency, sometimes after overwork, as if the body has been hollowed out."

"Is it a kidney overdraw?"

"Hui ...... Forget it, and confiscate the money. You wait until the end of next year, and at the beginning of the next year, the artifact of weight loss and fitness made by me and Yang Carpenter will be on sale.

I personally participated in the design and development, and I will use this weight loss fitness god

Try to make you both healthier.

Weight loss and fitness blossom, carry forward the spirit of innovation, I hope you both pay more attention. ”

“……”

As he spoke, Wang Cang came in with Li Zi. The two talked and laughed, and Zhu Mian stared at Wang Cang, always feeling that something was wrong.

Thinking about it, it dawned on me. I have been going to Qiancui Pavilion recently, and when I saw Wang Cang, I ......

As soon as he thought of this, he suddenly felt that there was a murderous aura that locked him, and he hurriedly hid behind the wide back of the divine dive, secretly looking for the source of the murderous aura.

The source is none other than Downing. This fang's face was extremely unkind, and Zhu Mian hurriedly said with his eyes: "Don't worry." ”

Tang Ning replied with his eyes: "Yes." ”

When Zhang Jingming came in with those teenagers, he saw Tang Ning and Zhu Mian's eyebrows dancing, so he couldn't help but laugh: "What? Am I late? What's going on? You two look like you're having a lot of fun. ”

Tang Ning opened his mouth and came: "Next year will be low, and the beginning of the next year will be ...... Forget about not blooming, you can't afford it anyway. ”

Zhang Jingming was confused, and when he heard that it was linked to money, he didn't inquire about it.

can't compare to Zhu Mian or Shenqian, his family background is ordinary. Now living in the house of relatives in Runzhou, his relatives feel distressed when they eat a bowl of rice.

Fortunately, Zhu Mian and Shenqian took care of him, as long as Zhang Jingming helped them do their homework, they would give five coins of silver at a time. Zhang Jingming naturally agreed, he didn't lack anything, he was short of money.

Compared with Tang, Zhu, and Shen, he is much happier, and his wife has already been selected, and there is a girl in his hometown in Jintan County who will go back to marry after he finishes his studies. He was two years younger than him, only fifteen. When talking about this, the three bachelors scolded him in unison.

As for how envious, jealous, and hateful I felt in my heart, I just mentioned it.

Especially Shenqian and Zhu Mian, Tang Ning can at least have a free love, and if he sees a girl from whomever family he likes, he will chase him, and no one will care about him at home.

But these two brothers are different, and they will both marry their designated wives in the future.

I feel scared when I think about it, I don't even know what my wife will look like in the future, whether she is a human or a ghost, no wonder she is so indulgent now, and if you think about it later, you won't have a chance.

Thinking of this, Tang Ning was so upset.

He once asked Zhou Huai, saying that Shenqian and Zhu Mian are so presumptuous, are the children of rich families like this?

Zhou Huai did not refuse Tang Ning's strange question, but patiently and kindly told him that Shen Qian and Zhu Mian are now presumptuous and frivolous, and Zhang Jingming is now presumptuous and suave.

After hearing this, Tang Ning was eager to try, pointing to himself and saying What about me?

"You? Reckless. ”

"It's not fair! Why are they all positive terms, to me this is a derogatory term. ”

"You don't have to be submerged, Zhu Mian's family is rich, and you are not more diligent and studious than Zhang Jingming. The teacher has a headache when he sees you, and you still want the teacher to praise you?

Do your daydreaming! ”
