Volume 2 Flowers follow the willows, the clouds are light and the wind is light! Chapter Ninety-Nine: Snow
This night, Tang Ning fell asleep without waiting for Liu Yier to knock on the wall, and woke up early the next morning, and everyone was stupid when he pushed the door open.
The snow had stopped, but the snow in the yard had reached a depth that was no longer than the legs. He is a northerner, and he grew up in the snowy northland, and he has never seen such a big snow many times.
Runzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River, so it stands to reason that it shouldn't be.
However, this snow did not make Tang Ning feel the atmosphere of his hometown, he only felt a little weird. But why it's weird, he can't say.
Zhang He stood under the eaves of the porch, looking at the thick layer of snow on the ground with a sad face.
Occasionally, a gust of wind blows, and loose snowflakes will be blown to Zhang He's feet, and after a while, they will melt into water.
Seeing this scene, Tang Ning finally figured out why he felt weird.
The cold air in the northern winter is about to freeze, and standing outside to pee, you can freeze into icicles. However, even if it snowed in Runzhou, he didn't feel the biting cold.
A round of sun overhead, constantly emitting light and heat, made Tang Ning feel warm.
"In a few days, the snow will melt, Uncle Zhang doesn't have to worry." Tang Ning said to Zhang He with a smile.
Zhang He shook his head and said, "You know that this snow will melt, and the old man also knows that this snow will melt." But the people didn't know.
Those merchants also knew that the snow would not melt in a long time, but they would not say it, and even said that the snow would not melt in a month or two. ”
Tang Ning nodded and said, "Indeed, only by saying this can the people panic, and then compete to buy food."
But Uncle Zhang, aren't there those old people with life experience who speak out to remind other people? ”
Zhang He shook his head and said: "You take these unprofitable businessmen too lightly, the three of them can become tigers, and Zeng Shen can kill people." Even Zeng Shen's mother didn't believe that her son didn't kill anyone, and the rumors were terrifying, which can be seen.
At that time, no matter what you say, no one will believe it. If you stand up and tell the people the truth, they will even think that you are doing something for personal gain.
Alas, this is why the old man does not want this snow to fall so much. At this time, profiteers will jump out and make waves.
Runzhou is different from Bianliang, where the merchants help each other and form a commercial house. One is prosperous, and one is lost. There is a Changhong dart bureau behind it to escort it.
In the official mansion, there are their eyeliner everywhere, and the old man can't do something if he wants to. ”
That last sentence is important. It means that Zhang He wants to do things, but he can't do it, so he needs Tang Ning, an outsider, to help him.
To put it bluntly, Zhang He is ready to hand over this thankless and offending job to Tang Ning, of course, the benefits are not impossible, at least those people will miss Tang Ning in their hearts.
But Tang Ningxin said that I am not an emperor or an official, what is the use of wanting the people's hearts?
Tang Ning didn't know how many words he scolded in his heart, and said that Lao Tzu was about to open a wine shop. Maybe you have to get involved with these businessmen and go with them.
It's good for you to come up, let me stab people when you come up, is it possible that the wine shop I opened will become a lonely person in this Runzhou City in the future?
Please, if the rich don't buy my wine, what will I do to make money? When the people come to buy it, can they afford it? If you can afford it, you won't be a citizen.
The stinky official really didn't have him when he was working, and he was the first to arrive when he shared the spoils. However, in his heart, Tang Ning did not dare to show disrespect for Zhang He on his face.
The people do not fight with the officials, this is the truth summed up by the ancestors of the Chinese land with thousands of years of experience.
So he changed into a compassionate look and said: "In this case, then let the little nephew come to seek justice from those unscrupulous profiteers for the people of Runzhou City!" ”
Zhang He was moved: "The virtuous nephew shares the worries of this official so much, and the official really doesn't know how to thank you." ”
Tang Ning shook his head and said awe-inspiringly: "Lord Zhizhou doesn't need to thank me, I am also a part of Runzhou, the rise and fall of Runzhou is the responsibility of the husband, and as a disciple of the master, how can I watch the people fall for it and be indifferent!" ”
Zhang He sighed: "It's really terrifying, if Tang Xian's nephew has any requirements, as long as the official can meet it, he will definitely do his best!" ”
This was a polite remark, but Downing didn't intend to be polite to him. Got off the donkey down the slope and said: "If you say that it is a request, there is really one." ”
Zhang Hexin said that this kid was still like a ghost just now, and he could understand the meaning of his words when he said a word. Why can't you understand it now?
It's not a public court, and the setting isn't very serious. Besides, yesterday a group of people wandered through the market, and their friendship was more or less much better than before.
Especially when he and Zhou Huai got to know each other, they also loved Zhou Huai's disciple Tang Ning. Maybe before yesterday, Zhang He still took care of Tang Ning for Liu Ling's sake, and correspondingly wanted to ask for something in return from Tang Ning. Today, Zhang He treats Tang Ning as a junior.
This time, asking Tang Ning to solve the problem of profiteers is also equivalent to a test for Tang Ning. If he can't handle such a simple thing, it means that there are still some problems with this young man's ability.
To sum up, hearing Tang Ning say this, Zhang He rolled his eyes very impatiently and said: "What are the requirements, let's talk about it to the official first." ”
Tang Ning nodded and said: "Actually, it's not a difficult request, I just hope that if Zhang Zhizhou finds out that something is wrong, don't panic." ”
Zhang He smiled, stretched out his finger and nodded at Tang Ning and said, "You kid, can't you still make something earth-shattering?" ”
Tang Ning also laughed, saying that the kid didn't have this ability.
Then the two of them looked at each other and laughed, laughed for a while, and felt that this was very boring, so they asked, "What about Master and Mr. Zhuliu?" The noble daughter of the Wang family didn't seem to see her. ”
Zhang He looked at Tang Ning strangely and said, "Of course they went to the academy, otherwise what do you think?" ”
Tang Ning said with a big mouth: "The snow is so big, they still go to the academy?" ”
"Do you know what it means to be rain or shine? If you don't even have this perseverance, what can you talk about getting ahead? ”
Sure enough, in this era when education is not universal, people still attach great importance to education. Unlike later generations, when he thought about it, Tang Ningzhen's face was red.
At that time, I was looking forward to heavy rain and snow every day, and only in this way did I not have to go to school...
…
"Oh yes, I heard you're going to teach at the academy too?"
Tang Ning scratched his head and said, "Yes, Master wants me to teach arithmetic." ”
Zhang He patted Tang Ning on the shoulder and said: "Teaching and educating people is a big deal, you must remember not to mislead people's children, and don't fish for three days and dry nets for two days, wasting Brother Jinyu's hard work." ”
"This kid knows that since he has agreed to the master's errand, the kid will naturally do his best. It's just that the kid himself has limited learning, and I'm afraid it will make those students who come to study ......"
Before Tang Ning finished speaking, Zhang He sneered and said, "How many people do you think will learn arithmetic?" If there are three people, you can be regarded as burning high incense.
Zhou Jinyu and Wang Weisi just want you to mix a talisman, where can you really teach students? I don't know if when you go to class this afternoon, there will be no one else in the academy but you. ”
“……”
The words are not coarse, and arithmetic will not be valued by readers in this era. Those who come to study arithmetic either have a strong curiosity about this science, or they are ready to be bookkeepers in the future.
Although I know this truth, I am still quite unconvinced. No one wants others to look down on themselves, and the mud bodhisattva still has three points of anger.
arched his hand towards Zhang He, and Tang Ning said goodbye.
Zhang He also waved his sleeves very generously, and said let's go, don't send it.
Tang Ning nodded and walked out, passing by the main hall in the middle and seeing Liu Yier rolling her eyes at herself, she suddenly realized that why did she say goodbye to Zhang He, a guest, in her own home?
And Zhang He didn't say anything unusual to himself about not sending it?
patted his head, which made Zhang He confused. Just as he was about to ask Liu Yier what time it was, Zhang He hurriedly walked out of the backyard.
Tang Ning saw Zhang He, Zhang He smiled awkwardly, arched his hand towards Tang Ning and said, "Farewell!" ”
Tang Ning couldn't be as atmospheric as Zhang He, so he stepped forward flatteringly and said, "Uncle Zhang, I'll send you ......"
Last night, the guards brought by Zhang He also slept in Tang Ning's house, and it snowed heavily in the middle of the night, and they were afraid that the horses would freeze to death, so they asked Aunt Niu to find a few quilts, wrapped them around the horses, and tied them to the eaves of the porch.
Now he was brushing the horses in the yard, and when he saw Zhang He coming out, he greeted Zhang He.
As soon as Zhang He waved his hand, the four guards began to pack up their things and prepare to leave.
The snow on the ground was thick, and the horses left a long trail along the way. Tang Ning's family stood at the door to see each other, and at this time Tang Ning realized that the little stone and plum were gone.
"What about people?" Tang Ning asked Liu Yi'er with a wink.
Liu Yi'er pursed her lips and said in a sour tone: "You linger outside all day long, do you care about these things at home?" Xiao Shi and Li Zi followed your second master to the academy, and they will also study in the academy in the future. ”
"But Plum is a girl......"
"Your good friend said that she has a way."
"It's not a good ......"
"Yo, didn't you get along and almost lost your life for others?"
