Volume 2 Flowers follow the willows, the clouds are light and the wind is light! Chapter Twenty-Five: The Treacherous Downing
"In my dynasty, scholars must first know the way of Confucius and Mencius. However, the way of Confucius and Mencius did not teach us to act like him!
Brother Jinyu, don't you think it's abnormal?
If what he said was true, then how could his master not teach him the way of a saint? ”
"He doesn't even know the origin of the phrase full of losses, humble benefits, how much more can you expect from him?"
"Huh?"
"Even when I took him as an apprentice, he only responded with seemingly appropriate answers, and he didn't have any thoughts of his own.
So I guess this kid is really as he said, his master didn't tell him to read the books of the sages at all, and even when he was reading, he didn't tell him how to understand.
After he learned to read, his master taught him other things.
Listen to what he himself said, not only medical skills, but also arithmetic, science ...... Science? ”
Wang Zhongxian blinked and asked confusedly, "What is science?" ”
When Zhou Huai mentioned this, he didn't quite understand, when Tang Ning talked to him with a conspicuous face, he happened to be angry with Tang Ning before, so he didn't ask again. waved his hand and said irritably: "Don't ask me, I don't know very well."
This is not the end of it, this morning I followed him to his master's retreat to pay respects. Do you know what I see? ”
Wang Zhongxian suddenly became interested, leaned closer and asked nervously, "What do you see?" ”
"It's a mess in the house!"
"What is this! My study is also a mess! ”
"It's not your kind of mess, it's the kind of mess that has been thiefd." Zhou Huai shook his head, looked back at Tang Ning, who pricked up his ears and eavesdropped but didn't hear anything, and continued: "And with what I know about Tang Ning, this is a very clean child. Moreover, he showed enough respect for his master in his words.
So when he leaves the house, he will definitely tidy up the place before leaving.
So who is the one who messed up the house? ”
Wang Zhongxian touched his chin, for some reason, he was a little inexplicably excited.
Zhou Huai sighed and continued: "In my opinion, most of him has a senior brother, or a junior brother!" ”
"Oh? How so? ”
"You yourself say it's weird, but I think it's weird too. He is the only one who does not have the temperament of our scholars, and he is more like an old farmer who can get close to anyone.
On the way to his master's house, there were fourteen tombstones standing on a piece of land. If my guess is correct, it's likely that this is someone from his division. ”
Wang Zhongxian slapped his head and said mysteriously: "In other words, he is actually not the only disciple of his master?" Maybe he and the other dozen or so disciples ended up fighting for what the master had left behind?
As a result, he was the only one who survived. Then he joined the Nanshan Thieves in order to fulfill his master's last wish, and the other disciple did not give up shortly after he left, and went back to turn the house upside down, and finally failed to find what he wanted! ”
Zhou Huai cried and laughed and said: "You really dare to think about it, but I prefer that the Nanshan thieves killed them all, and then he joined the Nanshan thieves for revenge, and the other disciple went back to find something after he left."
Of course, this is all our hypothesis, and in any case, this kid definitely has a big secret in him.
But the old man doesn't care. ”
Wang Zhongxian shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate."
On the surface, he pretended to be tepid, but in fact, he was more ruthless than anyone else.
Read the books of the sages, but do not know the ways of the sages.
This is his nature, and if he is left alone, he will become a great traitor in the future! ”
"That's why I'm here to be his master." Zhou Huai looked at Tang Ning, who was in a hurry after accidentally hurting Lao Wu, and said with a smile: "Such an excellent child, I don't want him to waste his talent in vain." Where are the party members and the Khitans, but they hate people like him very much. ”
………………
Lunch was eaten at Zhuliu Academy, without any special treatment, just like ordinary workers, a bowl of broth, a bowl of gruel, and two steamed buns.
Since the day it was opened, Zhuliu Academy has provided three meals a day for all workers. Occasionally, people passing by will kindly give them a copy.
In this era when most people eat two meals a day, Wang Zhongxian can be said to be a very conscientious boss.
Tang Ning is not a picky eater, and in the past year in Nanshanzhai, he has hardly eaten anything delicious. Although I used to be a picky eater, in order to survive, this problem was changed vividly.
Lao Wu's cheeks were punched, and it was very difficult to chew things, so this guy could only drink porridge sullenly, which attracted the ridicule of the other two companions.
Wang Zhongxian saw that his expression was very unfriendly, and Tang Ning did not understand where this hostility came from. Obviously, he was talking to himself in his study not long ago, and he still looked very appreciative of himself at that time.
Zhou Huai gave Tang Ning a steamed bun and said that he couldn't eat so much.
After spending another afternoon at Zhuliu Academy, when they went home in the evening, Liu Yier and Tang Ning cooked a sumptuous dinner together. With Tang Ning's own liquor, Wang Zhongxian and Zhou Huai, who were drunk, couldn't go home.
Tang Ning sat on the beam of the room, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and didn't know what he was thinking. Liu Yier looked up for a while below, and then went back to her room to sleep.
The days passed quickly, and Downing was busy every day. Not only must you read and endorse according to Zhou Huai's requirements, but also take care of your beans, deal with Shen Kuo, who comes to ask for arithmetic from time to time, Wang Zhi, who eats and drinks, and the main force who will make a fortune in the future, liquor.
It's just that when Tang Ning is occasionally free, he also thinks about how Aunt Niu and them are doing now.
Have you found a new place to continue your life?
The little stone must have grown a lot taller, and the kid was already growing fast.
Plums must be a lot more beautiful, right?
Just when Downing was busy, before he knew it, the scorching summer was over, the cool autumn had arrived, and farmers who were busy harvesting could be seen everywhere in the fields, and perhaps there were landlords among them.
He Yu's matter seems to have been forgotten by everyone, that day after Lao Wu knocked down the two people, Tang Ning put the dagger he had been carrying with him on He Yu's neck, at that time, He Yu could feel Tang Ning's killing intent, and Tang Ning could also feel He Yu's fear.
Zhuliu Academy has finally been completed, and today is the day for students to enroll.
Liu Yier flattened Tang Ning's slightly wrinkled neckline, took two steps back, looked Tang Ning up and down, and finally nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "It's still my Xiaolang who is the most energetic." ”
As soon as Tang Ning shook his head, the ponytail on the back of his head shook, and said proudly: "Of course." ”
Since there was not even a coachman in Tangning's house, there was naturally no carriage. However, on the first day of school today, he naturally had to support the scene, so yesterday he went to Shen's house to borrow a carriage nearby, fortunately, Zhang was not sick at that time, and Shen Kuo won this little request very happily.
The coachman is Shen San, and he is also the full-time coachman of the Shen family.
Don't look at Shen Kuo's current reputation for ruining Qianfu, but he is a retired senior cadre after all. Da Song treats such retired senior cadres very well.
"Tang Gongzi, on the orders of my master, the villain will send you to Zhuliu Academy today, please get in the car!" Shen Sanchong, who was standing in front of the door, arched his hand, and then made a gesture of invitation.
It's just that his eyes always glance at Liu Yi'er.
Tang Ning didn't bring anything, so he said to Liu Yier with his hands behind his back: "I'm leaving!" ”
Liu Yi'er nodded heavily, her eyes were red, and she whispered, "Young Master......"
Tang Ning looked at her strangely and said, "What's the matter, it's not like I don't go home, I heard that school will be out in the afternoon." ”
"Huh? But...... But...... But isn't there a place for students to live in Zhuliu Academy......"
"That's far away from home, and it's only half an hour when I go back and forth, even if I want to live, Mr. Zhuliu will kick me out to make room for others."
"Tsk, I thought you weren't coming back, so what did I do when I came out to send you, it's really ......"
After Liu Yi'er finished speaking, she twisted her waist and went back to the house, Shen San was stunned when she looked at it, and those who dared to talk to the master's family like this in their house were already five zhang high.
Tang Ning smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, my family is like this, let's go, shall we?" ”
"Wait!" Suddenly, a tall and strong man jumped out of nowhere, hurriedly ran to the carriage and said, "Tang Gongzi is slow, there is something important to tell you below!" ”
