Tang Yin no longer acted as the "prophet" who selected books for Zhu Hao, but became an honest follower.
Want to read a book?
Go and get it yourself. You can take whatever you like. I just bring it out for you in the name of Tang Yin. You can just return it in time after reading it.
In the next few days, Tang Yin was pleasantly surprised to find that Zhu Hao did not sleep in class, but concentrated on studying. Although he looked like he was not very focused, it made Tang Yin feel like "this kid has finally returned to class."
.
When a teacher sees students studying hard, a lot of the frustration accumulated over a long period of time will be eliminated, and he will have a sense of accomplishment in finally leading the bad students to the right path.
But in the past few days, Tang Yin took Zhu Hao to the library to get books one after another. The guard who was responsible for guarding the library felt that Tang Yin was reading too fast.
"Mr. Lu, if you don't think so, you can take a few more books out at a time to avoid running back and forth, or I can simply give you the key to the library and you can come and pick it up anytime."
The library guards are somewhat tireless.
Aren’t you, Tang Yin, more famous?
King Xing allows you to read his collection of books, but you just read a few books a day and ask me to run errands every time? Can you give me some face? Can you stop tormenting people all the time?
Tang Yin saw that the library guard trusted him, but when it came to some principle issues, he would not make a fuss about it.
Tang Yin made a compromise: "Let's do this. I will borrow a few more books at a time, but I will return them as often as I borrow them. Otherwise... I really don't dare to overstep my bounds."
He always understood that he was just a staff member invited by the palace and had no formal position in the Changshi Division, that is, he had no official status. Although many subordinate officials in the palace were not even elected officials and were not as good as him in terms of fame, he, Tang Yin, was
Outsiders in the palace, these seemingly unknown little people in front of them have lived in the palace for more than ten years, and they are considered local snakes who cannot be offended.

…
The book was borrowed and Zhu Hao took care of it.
Usually when Tang Yin is away, Gongsun Yi comes to teach and supervise students' self-study. Recently, he has made great progress. Under Tang Yin's "leadership", Gongsun Yi has seen what real teaching is. After nearly a year of summary and organization, Gongsun Yi is now
He also started to look like a famous teacher, and he no longer showed shyness in teaching children as before.
As the professor's knowledge further deepened, Zhu San, a little girl who usually looked down on Gongsun Yi, put away her previous contempt.
The academic gap between Zhu San, Jinghong and Zhu Si has gradually widened, and she is getting closer to Lu Bing's level. She mainly does not study hard and listens to lectures in class with Zhu San, and she also has to study some reading materials such as "Female Filial Piety" from her daughter's family.
Relatedly, from this point on, what boys and girls learn has begun to go astray.
Normally when King Xing was taking exams for Zhu Si's classwork, he would probably not call his daughter over because he found that his daughter's classwork could no longer keep up with his son's progress.
Gongsun Yi gained a little more confidence in class, but that was only for the other children, but for Zhu Hao... he had no tricks at all.
Obviously he is a scholar and an upright teacher, but he can't help but think that among the students sitting below him, there is a "little researcher" who studies various schools of thought.
Occasionally, when Gongsun Yi was inspecting the classroom, he would pass by Zhu Hao. When he saw the books Zhu Hao was reading, he immediately felt defeated.
It’s all the kind of book that I have never read, but I want to read it but feel powerless, and I feel stupid for not learning...
The last option is to be out of sight, out of mind.
…
…
Autumn outing is coming.
The time is set for August 24th.
All the children, except Zhu Hao, had made full preparations for this autumn outing. Zhu Si had already taken out the Cuju that he had not played for a long time. It was a flexible ball made specifically for him by Zhu Hao.
Bold leather Cuju.
Lu Bing is half a head taller than a year ago, and all the children have grown up.
Even Zhu San, as a girl who is about to turn ten, is already showing signs of entering puberty.
The item Zhu San prepared for the autumn outing was a kite. She was having trouble with her brother over some things these days and decided that she would not play with her brother in the Cuju competition that might be held during the outing and fly the kite alone.
Zhu Hao has been reading a book and seems to be undisturbed by other things. After class, a few children went out to play marbles or something, but Zhu Hao did not join them.
The day before the autumn trip.
Tang Yin was supposed to be teaching in the afternoon, but Tang Yin did not come to the school building, and Gongsun Yi was nowhere to be seen. As a result, the skylight was opened in the classroom, and several children played wildly all afternoon.
In the past, Zhu Hao might have taken the initiative to take on the responsibility of a teacher and give lectures to them. But at this time, he was concentrating on studying, while several children were not paying attention to the textbooks at all because of their autumn trip. Then they heard Lu
Bing shouted "I win" there, and Zhu San and Zhu Si took turns fighting Lu Bing.
At first, Jinghong was very restrained, sitting there reading a book. After half the afternoon, he couldn't help it in the lively atmosphere outside, so he went out to play marbles with them.
Zhu Hao did not go home in the afternoon.
When he was returning the book, he saw Tang Yin who had slept all afternoon, was disheveled, slightly depressed, smelled of alcohol, and didn't do much to clean himself up.
When Zhu Hao saw the listless Tang Yin, the first thought that came to his mind was: "An old man without a woman to take care of him is really slovenly. As the saying goes, a useless scholar is what he is talking about.
Are you an old bachelor who doesn't work hard and doesn't know how to distinguish between grains and grains?"
"Zhu Hao? Why are you here?"
When Tang Yin saw Zhu Hao, he had no shame at all.
Tang Yin had done so many embarrassing things in front of Zhu Hao, and Tang Yin no longer had the behavior of frequently showing off his face in order to maintain his dignity as a teacher. When the two of them got along in private, he seemed very real.
Zhu Hao said: "I'm here to return the books, and I'd like to borrow the next batch."
"Eh!? Have you finished reading it again? Didn't I just borrow it for you yesterday? This time, you won't just read it in a hurry, right?"
Tang Yin just got up from the bed, his head was still a little dazed, and he wanted to wash his face with cold water to clear his mind. He leaned over to fetch water, only to find that there was not a drop of water in the water tank.
Because he usually lived in the palace and had no servants, he had to do things like fetching water himself, and he would forget about it from time to time.
Zhu Hao went to the yard outside, fetched a basin of water for Tang Yin from the ancient well, put it on the shelf, and said: "I have read some of the books this time. I just want to review them this time."
See if there is any difference from the version I have seen before..."
Tang Yin interrupted Zhu Hao: "Where have you seen it before?"
Zhu Hao said: "My family has made money from business. Books are still available if you want to buy them. Mr. Lu doesn't think that all the books in the palace are unique, right?"
"hehe."
Tang Yin buried his head in the basin and rubbed it vigorously a few times. Suddenly he remembered that he had forgotten to take the washkerchief. He was about to wipe the water droplets off his face with his hands, but Zhu Hao had already handed him the handkerchief.
Zhu Hao said: "Mr. Lu, you look like this. You drink a lot on weekdays. Should you find someone to take care of you? If you don't want to move out, you can also tell King Xing and ask him to appoint someone to take care of you.
Or you can hire a servant to come back... This is the east courtyard, and the palace's supervision is not that strict."
"I drink because... never mind."
Tang Yin looked a little depressed. Apparently he knew that life in the palace seemed stable and much better than the precarious life in his hometown before, but in fact it was just messing around.
In Prince Xing's Mansion, it seemed that he had hope in life, but this monotonous life was not what he pursued. Instead, when he was in Prince Ning's Mansion, he would recite poems and compose poems with a group of famous scholars and scholars every day, drink wine and brag, and also teach talents.
Princess Ning, who is both beautiful and beautiful, plays music, chess, calligraphy and painting. When she is in a good mood, she immediately paints a picture and is praised by others...
The life in front of me is more like an ascetic monk's practice, extremely boring and boring.
"The recent Crown Prince has made rapid progress in his studies. King Xing specially asked people to prepare a banquet, and he was drunk during the banquet... It's not that I deliberately drank to cause trouble. Did the Crown Prince and the others behave well in class today?"
Tang Yin also knew that he had missed the teaching time.
But in other aspects, he did well. In the past, he mostly relied on the lesson plans written by Zhu Hao to teach. Now he spends more and more time teaching away from his desk, which fully shows that Tang Yin has talent, whether it is poetry, painting or teaching and educating people.
On the other hand, his talent is not only reflected in his quick thinking, but also because he is good at absorbing new things and using them for his own use.
History has created such a tragic figure as Tang Bohu. Even if he passes middle age and slowly dies, the passion in his heart is still there.
Zhu Hao smiled and said: "Mr. Gongsun didn't come to teach either. In the afternoon, everyone herded the sheep. The prince and the others had a lot of fun. I think this is good. They are always immersed in reading and have no time to play. The nature of children is
How can we thrive if we are almost wiped out? A balance between work and rest is still necessary.”
Tang Yin narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhu Hao: "You kid, in the past, in my opinion, you were just a naughty boy who didn't do his job and was a little clever. Now you look like a nerd who studies hard. How can you say anything philosophical? It really impresses me."
Zhu Hao took out a beautifully decorated brocade box from his arms and handed it to Tang Yin: "Mr. Lu, I have wanted to give you a gift for a long time. Let's take a look."
"No...what is this?"
Tang Yin wanted to refuse, but he was very curious in his heart about what was in the brocade box.
Zhu Haodao: "I can see that Mr. Lu is also myopic and can't see things clearly. I specifically studied the degree of Mr. Lu's myopia... Well, I took out a piece of paper before and asked you to read every word.
What are they? I've probably given you a pair of glasses like this. You can try them on."
"It's flashy, I don't know what it means... Oops!"
Tang Yin was belittling Zhu Hao's strange and obscene skills. This was his previous evaluation of the things Zhu Hao had created. But when he opened the brocade box and put on his glasses, he immediately discovered a completely new world, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
Zhu Hao handed over a piece of homemade glasses cloth: "Mr. Lu, sometimes I try new things, but I always stay stuck in my ways. The end result is to sit back and watch the sky. I can do business with Mr. Su not only because I can speak well, but also because I can speak well.
It's probably because the deal I made with him... was profitable for both parties."
Tang Yin originally wanted to return the glasses to Zhu Hao.
Because he had heard Zhu Hao talk about the value of this thing before. As the saying goes, no reward will be received without merit. If he received this boy's favor, he would not be able to hold his head high in front of Zhu Hao in the future.
But after listening to Zhu Hao's boastful words, he decided not to return it.
This gift.
If you don't accept it, you won't receive it.
