Chapter 15 A Thousand People, a Thousand Faces
Xia Hongsheng told Xu Qixian a lot of things, not to mention how much Xu Qixian mastered, for Xia Hongsheng himself, he still liked this feeling of teaching knowledge to others. It's rewarding to be able to pass on what you know to others and let them know too. To the sublime, this is a spirit of willingness to give and share, and in the vulgar, it is the nature of ** love to show, like to show off their knowledge to people who don't know, and then look at those people in shock. All in all, after telling Xu Qixian some knowledge about mathematics, Xia Hongsheng found that his mood became surprisingly better. Yes, I have the insight and thoughts that have been ahead of this dynasty for thousands of years, I have the experience summed up by countless people in these thousands of years, I know the direction of history, I have the knowledge and technology that is absolutely leading in this dynasty, what else am I worried about? Science and technology are the primary productive forces, this sentence is definitely a truth in later generations, and it is also applicable in the Tang Dynasty. I have the absolute leading technology in this era, and I have this primary productive force, which is developed, and it is only a matter of time. Don't say it's far away, just say it's close at hand, wait until the fried tea leaves, and the folding fan with the scent of books and ink come out, just these two things, dare to write a guarantee, and it will definitely be a blockbuster. Since ancient times, tea tasting and folding fans have been favored by those who are elegant, or who think they are elegant, or those who are vassals and elegant, and this era is a paradise for these people.
It is inevitable that the market will be wide, but the constraints and resistance will not be small. Not to mention anything else, just the sister-in-law and the gentlemen and classmates of the academy will never allow Xia Hongsheng to go into business. Xia Hongsheng is not against reading, on the contrary, he believes that reading and learning is a must. But he is no longer the primary school student who is in the enlightenment stage, and the things learned in the academy have no other superfluous role except for letting Xia Hongsheng understand more about the values of the Tang people. On the contrary, the identity of the student will hinder the implementation of many of his ideas.
Is it time to find an excuse to quit the academy? It's just that I dropped out of the academy rashly, and my sister-in-law couldn't pass the pass or said that the gentlemen of the academy were going to be guilty. Whether it was out of future considerations or out of personal emotion and morality, Xia Hongsheng didn't want to let himself have a gap with those gentlemen in the academy. Can you think of a way to get the best of both worlds, not only to get yourself out of the shackles of the academy, but also not to destroy the relationship with the gentlemen in the academy and the mountain chief?
This is a headache, for the headache, Xia Hongsheng's way has always been to put it aside for the time being, anyway, there is no good way for the time being, it is better to wait and see, maybe it will be "stepping on the iron shoes and finding nowhere to find it, and it will take no effort to get it".
After sending away Xu Qixian, who was ecstatic and rushed out with a stack of straw paper, Xia Hongsheng didn't have time to climb on the table and squint for a while, but unexpectedly, someone poked his head out of the door and came in, but the person who came surprised Xia Hongsheng, not someone else, it was Bai Jianzhi.
Seeing that Xia Hongsheng found himself, Bai Jianzhi also appeared generously, walked into the school, and before Xia Hongsheng stood up, he first bowed his hand and said: "Senior Brother Xia, Brother Wei is here to apologize to Senior Brother Xia for Zhu Yanhui today." ”
Xia Hongsheng was stunned, Zhu Yanhui, that day when he had a quarrel in the academy, he stopped Xia Hongsheng and Xu Qixian, and was scolded by Xia Hongsheng as a lackey, and then he was angry and went over to choke Xia Hongsheng's neck, Bai Jianzhi came to apologize for him?
"I shouldn't have been involved in this matter, he was annoyed that you had damaged his face that day, so he used the means of doing it and wanted to send someone to beat you to relieve his anger. This matter was only learned by my brother this morning, and this kind of behavior is really a person who has lost my Luanzhou Academy, and he Zhu Yanhui deserves to be severely punished. Bai Jianzhi sat down and stood opposite Xia Hongsheng, and said very politely to Xia Hongsheng, and said in a very sincere tone: "It's just that his family and my family are world friends, and the two families are like relatives, so although Brother Wei and Zhu Yanhui are two families, they are like brothers." On that day, he forced himself to come out, and he also felt that he had been humiliated for his brother, so he didn't want to come out to help. Although he doesn't need his help, he always has to understand his kindness. The subordinate he sent yesterday said that you were protected by a master, and he followed you into the alley as soon as he fainted without even seeing a figure. Senior Brother Zhu talked about his subordinates this morning, and only then did he know that he had done such a thing impulsively. This matter was known by the mountain chief, I am afraid that with the temper of the mountain chief, Senior Brother Zhu will be expelled from the academy, and his reputation will be ruined, and it will be in vain to want to go elsewhere to study in the future, so after listening to it, the elder brother went straight to the junior brother, since Senior Brother Xia was not injured, please ask Senior Brother Xia for the sake of a classmate, this matter will be revealed? For the elder brother, Fang Yupei should be on duty for one hundred times, so he will be dedicated to his junior brother, and he should intercede for Zhu Yanhui. ”
After that, Bai Jianzhi unexpectedly took off the jade pendant on his body, bent down and bowed and handed it to Xia Hongsheng with both hands.
Xia Hongsheng was alarmed in his heart, Bai Jianzhi's appearance today, where is there still the domineering appearance in the academy that day, these words are simply leaky, not only to clear the relationship between that incident and himself, but also to point out that Zhu Yanhui did something wrong and should be punished heavily, but he also worshiped him with a jade pendant, asking himself to forgive Zhu Yanhui, taking into account his brotherhood with Zhu Yanhui, if Xia Hongsheng does not accept it, then he has done everything that a brother should do, and he has cleared up the involvement, that is, the academy really punished Zhu Yanhui, It has nothing to do with him anymore. If Xia Hongsheng accepts it, then this matter will not be known by the mountain chief, and he will naturally be fine, and Zhu Yanhui will owe him a great favor and win a reputation for righteousness.
Xia Hongsheng has been in the workplace for many years, this kind of person, I have seen a lot of this kind of thing, and after thinking about it, I know how to deal with it. The Xia family is not even a small family now, there is only one female streamer and him Xia Hongsheng, in the small place of Luanzhou City, if the Bai family really wants to reach out to them, it is easy to do it. The so-called being a man and leaving a line, and seeing each other in the future, Xia Hongsheng felt that he would not completely tear his face with Bai Jianzhi for this trivial matter. If the dispute in the academy is only an academic contest, then let him stop at the gate of the academy, and there is no need to take him outside, if he takes this opportunity to bite the two of them, I believe that my sister-in-law and myself in Luanzhou City will not have a good time in the future. Moreover, the stinginess among students, Xia Hongsheng, as an adult, originally felt that there was nothing to worry about, but in his eyes, it was just a childish move, and he didn't take it to heart at all. Bai Jianzhi is still a student in the end, and he takes this matter seriously. However, since they have seen it big, it is also based on the principle of not using it when there is a chance, and it will be invalid when it expires, so why not take advantage of it? After all, there is a saying in the science of success, win-win is the real success!
Thinking of this, Xia Hongsheng also helped Bai Jianzhi up, waved his hand at him indifferently, and said: "This matter has nothing to do with Senior Brother Bai, but Senior Brother Bai is righteous and wants to protect Zhu Yanhui, and this brotherhood is admirable." Hehe, let's make a little joke between our classmates in the academy, just play around by yourself, and recall it after a few years, it's also a young and interesting thing, if you run to the teacher to complain because of this, wouldn't it be too childish? I didn't take this matter to heart, and I wouldn't mention it to anyone. As for the jade pendant, Senior Brother Bai take it back, I can't afford to take it back with more than 100 things. ”
People who love to make small reports, no one in the school will like them, and even the teachers will not really like the kind of students who are not responsible. Xia Hongsheng couldn't be clearer in his later life.
"Haha, Senior Brother Xia is really broad-minded, and he is ashamed of himself! That's right, it's just a joke between classmates, where is it worth alarming gentlemen! When Bai Jianzhi saw Xia Hongsheng say this, he immediately became happy, laughed, grabbed Xia Hongsheng's hand, and insisted on stuffing Yu Pei over, saying: "Senior Brother Xia is so atmospheric, how can you not be stingy for your brother, Yu Pei also asked Senior Brother Xia to accept it, and he should make friends for his brother." ”
Xia Hongsheng raised his eyebrows, this Bai Jianzhi's mind was also lively, seeing that he didn't want to tear his face with him, he couldn't suppress himself, and in an instant, he wanted to pull himself into his faction again. In time, such a person must be a person with exquisite faces and extensive connections. It's a pity that his mind is not right, and he uses it in the wrong place, and when he becomes an official in the future, he is also a traitor.
Such a person can be known, can be used as a friend of wine and meat, and can even be called a brother, some small favors can ask him for help, but it is absolutely impossible to make deep friends and cannot be trusted.
Such a person is willing to show kindness to others and let others owe favors to others in some small things that will not endanger themselves and are easy for them, but once their own interests are involved, they will open their mouths in the blink of an eye, and they will not care about human feelings at all. Xia Hongsheng has seen countless people like this, and he suffered losses at the beginning, but then he knew how to deal with this kind of person.
"Hehe, Senior Brother Bai Wenguan Academy, and the current first apprentice of Master Yan, his future is limitless. Yu Pei also asked Senior Brother Bai to take it back, it was too precious. Senior Brother Bai, don't be angry, the little brother is not outside, in fact, the little brother has a reluctant invitation. Xia Hongsheng was in the limelight in the academy during this time, the "Three Character Classic" was dedicated by him, and the words of the gentleman came out of his mouth, and the two poems were far beyond the level of the students of the academy, and they were secretly praised by several gentlemen as having the style of everyone, and the newly added gentleman in the academy's notes also came out of his mouth, and he didn't seem to know it himself, but he didn't know that someone had called him a prodigy in private. How can this not make Bai Jianzhi extremely angry, the first person in the academy, except for me Bai Jianzhi, how can there be anyone else?! However, now that Xia Hongsheng said this good thing to himself with a smile, that anger disappeared in an instant, that is, you were rumored to be a prodigy, didn't you want to ask me for help in front of me?
As soon as he thought of this, Bai Jianzhi was suddenly in a good mood, raised his hand and patted Xia Hongsheng's shoulder, made a very heroic look, and said: "Senior Brother Xia, it's okay to talk about it, you are still young, and you are a junior brother for your brother, so it is natural to help you." ”
"Then the little brother said cheekily......" Xia Hongsheng arched his hand: "The little brother wants to make a few iron pots, but he has no choice but to recognize a good blacksmith." Now I am about to sit down and listen to Master Yan, and I can't listen to my master's words anymore, so I also want to collect a few catties of tea to honor my master, but I don't know the doorway. The little brother has already prepared the money, I just want to ask Senior Brother Bai to send someone to come, take the little brother with him, the little brother pays, and Senior Brother Bai's people only need to follow the little brother to lead the way, remind a few words, don't teach the little brother to be deceived. ”
Hey, boy, do you want to use the name of the Bai family to make things easier for you? In this Luanzhou City, who doesn't know that my Bai family is the largest family here, even when it comes to Luoyang, the eastern capital, there is also an industry. Those small merchants in Luanzhou City, when they saw the Bai family, naturally thought that the Bai family wanted these things, I am afraid that in order to tie up, these worthless things will be exempted from half of the money as soon as they open their mouths, so as to settle their personal favors. This love debt is borne by the Bai family, but he wants to get the sweetness, what a good thought! Bai Jianzhi laughed, rolled his eyes, waved his hand, and said, "It's just a few iron pots and a few catties of tea, but Senior Brother Xia was bothered about this?" Haha, the doorway inside that the little junior brother doesn't understand is indeed easy to suffer, and there are many shoddy people in the tea shop! No matter what, don't want any subordinates, I have a relationship with Senior Brother Xia today, Senior Brother Fang Jue Xia is very good as a brother, these things Senior Brother Xia don't have to worry about, the best blacksmith in Luanzhou City, most of the food is the rice in the mouth of the Bai family, and the tea is even simpler, and there is good tea at home. After school today, someone will go to Senior Brother Xia's house with tea and blacksmiths. ”
Bai Jianzhi said very atmosphericly, said a few more words, and proudly waved the books in his hand and left the school.
Hmph, Xia Hongsheng also laughed, this kind of person's mind is not too easy to grasp, this kind of person thinks he is superior, regards others as pawns, conceited and vain, and actually has not much ability. A few high hats go down, and there is no need to lower your status, as long as you are friendly with him, it is enough, he will use his excess imagination, thinking that you are stammering him, and he will be immediately satisfied, how to see how pleasing you are, as long as it does not involve his own interests, he is still very generous to people who can satisfy his vanity. Xia Hongsheng is now very famous in the academy, and at this time, he is very friendly in front of Bai Jianzhi, and he unconsciously let Bai Jianzhi fall into the trap.
Silly, Xia Hongsheng smirked towards the door. A few polite words, without lowering his status, and without spending a penny, he solved the problem of building a wok and collecting tea.
Immediately, Xia Hongsheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, thousands of people have thousands of faces, left and right, this is the way of villains, and the gentleman disdains it. It's a pity that the family is ruined, and if you want to survive better, you can only be a villain for the time being.
