Volume 2 Flowers follow the willows, the clouds are light and the wind is light! Chapter 19: The Selfish Bad Old Man
Women are strange and cute creatures, they are inexplicably angry for strange reasons, but because of a certain sentence, strangely deflated.
After Tang Ning finished speaking, Liu Yier felt sweet in her heart, as if she had just been watered by a spring rain, and every pore of her body was cheering.
The face that hadn't changed for three days suddenly changed into a sweet smile, which made Tang Ning very uncomfortable.
"Listen to the young master." Liu Yier said very well-behaved.
Tang Ning blinked, and saw that this woman didn't look like she was talking back, and she couldn't figure out what was going on, so she turned her head and smiled at Shen Kuo, who turned over and over the paper and didn't see the meaning: "Mr. Mengxi can understand?" ”
Shen Kuo said ashamedly: "Tang Gongzi is generous and teaches his family education to Shen, Shen is stupid, but he can't get a glimpse of it, he is really ashamed." ”
Tang Ning sighed after hearing this, Shen Kuo was diligent and respectful in his studies, if he had not participated in politics, maybe history would have changed because of him.
It's a pity that in the feudal society of 'learning literature and martial arts, buying from the emperor's family', no one wants to be a big official.
Including himself, if he hadn't known about the Jingkang tragedy for a few years, as well as the urine of the next few emperors of the Zhao family, he himself would have wanted to become a master like Cai Jing who is under one person, above ten thousand people, and calls for wind and rain, so as to experience the feeling of being a master.
It is a great pity that history has no ifs.
Tang Ning looked at Shen Kuo, who was ashamed, and suddenly felt that this old man was unspeakably pitiful.
Pointing to the Arabic numerals and operation symbols on the paper, it took two hours to patiently explain to him the role of each number and symbol, Shen Kuo was like a child who got a new toy, kept giving himself questions, and then solved the problems by himself.
Liu Yi'er poked Tang Ning with her finger, and said pitifully: "Young master, I didn't understand. ”
"It's okay, I'll teach you when Shen Lao is gone."
"Genius, this way, solving the problem is much easier!" Shen Kuo excitedly held Tang Ning's hand and said incoherently: "Thank you Tang Gongzi for passing on the art!" ”
Tang Ning shook his head and smiled: "Mr. Mengxi doesn't have to be polite, the family teacher once told the younger generation that if you meet someone who can teach, just teach it."
The tutor also said that it is best to teach arithmetic from an early age, so that it is easier to teach.
It's a shame to say that the younger generation originally planned to teach it as a home school. However, since Mr. Mengxi wants to know today, it doesn't hurt to tell Mr. about it, but the younger generation has something to ask for, and I ask Mr. to agree. ”
After all, he was an old thief, and when he heard that he had something to ask for, he immediately changed his face. I just had a little affection for this person, and it disappeared in an instant.
Shen Kuo coughed and said, "You say it first, whether you can agree or not depends on what it is." ”
Tang Ning gritted his teeth and snorted, "Then your old man is waiting here!" ”
After saying that, Tang Ning went to the backyard, and Liu Yier smiled sweetly and said to Shen Kuo: "Mr. Shen, don't be impatient, the young master will come back in a while." ”
Shen Kuo was not in a hurry at all, touched his chin and began to do math problems, and gave himself a relatively simple one, seventeen people horizontally, sixteen people vertically, how many people in total, and then happily put pen to paper and calculated.
When Tang Ning came back with the wine jar, he had already calculated it, glanced at Tang Ning, and said with emotion: "With these symbols, it's too simple." ”
Tang Ning smiled: "Mr. doesn't know how to swallow gold in his sleeves, right?" This is much more convenient than my algorithm, but it's a pity that my master can't either, which is a pity. ”
"Hmph, how can the old man not know? It's just that those businessmen don't want to do with their lives, even if they don't want to teach anything about this technique. What else do you say, 'don't meet a bosom friend, don't pass it on', in the final analysis, they are just some guys who regard wealth as life and cherish themselves. ”
Tang Ning was a little embarrassed, he was thinking about partnering with Shen Kuo to do business, and asked him to ask someone from the tea and wine bureau to issue a license to himself, and he didn't know if this sentence was aimed at him......
Scratching his head, Tang Ning still poured the wine into the tea bowl. The aroma of wine was fragrant, Shen Kuo's eyes lit up all of a sudden, he picked up the wine bowl, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and praised: "Good wine!" ”
Then he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, his old face was red, and it took a long time to catch his breath, and he praised again: "What a strong wine!" ”
Tang Ning said with a smile: "This is not the limit, I am not familiar with the distillation method now, and I have to continue to explore, and in the future, it is not impossible to get drunk with a bowl of immortals." ”
Shen Kuo took a few breaths, glanced at Tang Ning up and down, and said, "What, you plan to make money with this kind of thing?" ”
"yes, sir, do you think it's possible?"
"Let's not talk about the old man, it's your second master, who will peel off a layer of skin on you after knowing it.
As an official in the court, you can do business, but not yourself. This is a shameful thing among scholars, and maybe someone will attack you with this in the future.
This method is not advisable. ”
"Who did I harm by selling the wine I made with my own ability? Besides, I don't want to be an official. ”
Shen Kuo frowned and said earnestly: "When the two of us met the first day, what did the old man say to you?" The old man said that you are still young, and there is still a long way to go, don't say that you are not an official first, and you will regret it in the future. ”
"If you don't regret it, you will definitely not be an official."
"Hmph, the old man thought so back then!"
"Then why are you stammering Wang Anshi?"
"You! The old man doesn't want to talk to you! ”
"Hmph, I can understand you, Shen Laoqi, treat people as masters when they are useful, and treat people as grandsons when they are useless. What did you ask me for? I've handed over all my family studies to you, why are you so utilitarian? ”
"Can this be the same? Don't insult the old man's innocence! ”
"Is this my empty insult to you? Who in the world doesn't know that you are such a utilitarian person? I've taught you all the homeschooling, can't you help me once? ”
"I can't help, the old man doesn't know anyone in the tea and wine bureau......"
"So you don't have to talk about it, do you?" Tang Ning sneered, then turned his head and said loudly: "Send off!" ”
Liu Yier was also extremely dissatisfied with Shen Kuo, she felt that Tang Ning was right.
When I just asked the young master, it was called a polite person. Now that the young master begged him in turn, he shirked it in every possible way. Such a person is not worthy of making friends, he should let him spit out all the things that the young master just taught him!
So Liu Yi'er had a pretty face, and said in front of Shen Kuo, who was sneering: "Mr. Shen, please, my young master has sent off a guest." ”
Shen Kuo said, "Why is this ......?"
"My young master has sent off a guest!" Liu Yi'er accentuated her voice and repeated it again.
Shen Kuo was sent out of the door by Liu Yi'er, while Tang Ning was sad in the front hall.
Although he had been prepared, he still didn't expect Shen Kuo to be so real.
Shen Kuo, who is recorded in the history books, does not talk about learning, but only about conduct, which is despised by people. It's a standard villain, whoever has a big fist will be good with whom, and when this person's fist is small, he will be decisively abandoned and then find a thigh to hug.
I thought that this old man would change when he got old and retired, but in response to that sentence, the nature of the country is easy to change, and the true color of the villain will not fade due to the change of time, but will only deepen and deepen......
What a mistake! Tang Ning covered his face, how could he still teach such a knowledge of Arabic numerals to such a villain!
It is impossible to say that the old man does not know the people in the tea and wine bureau. Because Wang Zhi revealed to himself in his words a few days ago that Shen Kuo was in the same boat with the officials of the Tea and Wine Bureau not long ago, otherwise Tang Ning would not have asked Shen Kuo to come here.
Living people hate ghosts, and they can't ask Wang Zhi for Shen Kuo.
After Liu Yi'er came back, she naturally walked around behind Tang Ning, gently pinched Tang Ning's shoulder, and said indignantly: "What is that Shen Kuo, you taught him the family school, and you will shirk it in every possible way if you have something to do."
Young master, let's not take care of their family in the future. A few days ago, you asked me to make something and send a copy to their family, look at today, how does he treat us?
Bah! Such people and dogs don't eat! ”
Tang Ning said profusely: "No...... Actually, it's my fault, I shouldn't have looked for him in the first place. I knew in my heart that he was such a person, but I still wanted to make it convenient, so I found him. ”
"Young Master, you seem to know that bad old man very well?"
"The able official who rules the world, the villain who slanders him......" Tang Ning sighed and said with emotion.
