Tang Yin wanted to understand everything and found that he was like a clown. He seemed to think about others, but he made mistakes everywhere. He was almost single-minded in thinking and did not consider all aspects of the situation.
"This child is hopeless."
Tang Yin could only say this, get up and leave, looking for a place to comfort his injured heart.
Even if he is not as intelligent as Zhu Hao, he has repeatedly failed in human relations. What the hell is this?
Seeing that the Cuju competition was over in the afternoon, Qiu You and his party did not need to return to the city. Instead, they directly went hunting in the nearby mountains and forests. Zhu Si rode a pony and followed the heavily armed guards. He was not allowed to play in person, but
Let him feel the atmosphere of hunting.
Zhu Hao sat on the grass covered with oilcloth paper and had no intention of participating in the hunting activity.
Gongsun Yi and Tang Yin were sitting under a nearby big tree, relatively close to Zhu Hao. However, because Zhu Hao was sitting upwind, it was difficult to hear clearly what Tang Yin and Gongsun Yi were saying. Finally, they heard Tang Yin say: "
...You should stay in the palace and study for another three years before taking the provincial examination!"
This is clearly a reminder to Gongsun Yi that you should be more pragmatic and make money to support your family instead of focusing all your energy on the imperial examination!
Gongsun Yi stood up and seemed to deliberately increase his voice, sounding confident. Perhaps he also meant to tell his wife: "If you don't make a fortune when you are young and regret it when you are old, then life will be boring. Everyone has his own ambitions, and Lu
Sir, I accept your kindness."
There is really no need to persuade a young scholar who has already boasted in front of his family and friends that he will work hard to take the provincial examination in Haikou.
Zhu Hao wanted to say, Tang Yin, do you want Gongsun Yi to eat the shit he pulled out?
You have made bold words, but you are already riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off. You, Tang Yin, have understood my suggestion. For the sake of Gongsun Yi, you persuaded him to take back his life. In fact, you are putting him in a position of neither superior nor inferior.
What do you want Gongsun Yi to think?
You, Tang Yin, look down on me and think I am incapable of passing the examination?
Then I want to prove it to you...
"hehe!"
Zhu Hao held the book and just watched the fun.
…
…
Near sunset, the group returned to the city.
The children had been tired for a day and had almost fallen asleep on the carriage. They probably had to wait until dark before entering the city. Fortunately, they had already greeted the city gate guards, otherwise everything would have been very awkward when they passed through the city gate.
trouble.
Zhu Hao didn't waste much energy at the end of the day. He just changed places to read. The autumn air was crisp and it was quite pleasant to read under the warm sun.
Beside Zhu Hao, Lu Bing had fallen into a deep sleep, while Jing Hong was squinting his sleepy eyes. He wanted to raise his head several times, but quickly lowered his head again. The sound of even breathing came from time to time, and he was obviously asleep.
In the distance, there were fast horses coming towards us, but when they got closer, they actively restrained their speed and slowly passed around, without posing a threat to the group.
After a day's work, the common people hurried out of the city to return home; there were also small traders and villagers who were rushing out of the city after attending the evening market. There was an endless stream of people carrying burdens barefoot and wearing straw sandals. Most of them were plainly dressed and walking in a hurry...
Dusk of Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Hao thought for a moment. Although the last years of Zhengde were not the dusk of the Ming Dynasty, it was past noon and was going downhill. If there was no qualitative change, it would step by step into darkness.
"Zhu Hao, if you have time, come down here...Mr. Lu is waiting for you in the carriage behind."
Lu Song approached on horseback and spoke loudly to Zhu Hao.
Then the carriage stopped.
Zhu Hao jumped off the carriage and got to the carriage one car away behind. At this time, Tang Yin had opened the curtain and was waiting for Zhu Hao to go in. It looked like a young daughter-in-law waiting for the groom, but there were actually Gongsun Yi and Mrs. Gongsun sitting inside. …
Tang Yin, Tang Yin, you have a great time being a light bulb.
This carriage is relatively large and was originally prepared for Tang Yin alone. As Tang Yin's status in the palace increased day by day, his treatment was close to the level of the palace's chief historian, especially when Yuan Zonggao and Zhang Jingming are not here. Zhu Youyi gave Tang Yin enough trust and respect.
Zhu Hao got on the carriage.
Mrs. Gongsun huddled in a corner of the carriage, holding her skirt as close as possible. After all, she needed to avoid being in front of a strange man and being in the same carriage.
Perhaps only a man as big-hearted as Gongsun Yi would take his wife to ride in Tang Yin's carriage.
"Two gentlemen, do you have anything to do with me?" Zhu Hao asked.
Gongsun Yi smiled and said, "That's right. I've made it clear to my wife that Mr. Lu is actually the famous Mr. Tang."
Very proud of himself.
Explaining in front of his wife that he is the famous Tang Bohu in front of him, and asking his wife to accompany him to watch the idol, is also a way to enhance the relationship between the couple. It also shows that the young couple is not too wary of Tang Yin and treats him like a mentor and helpful friend.
Zhu Hao shrugged, as if to say, does this have anything to do with asking me to come over?
Gongsun Yi asked with a smile: "Mr. Tang told me something about... planning a job earlier. It seemed that you had plans to open a school? Is that right?"
Good guy.
Zhu Hao really wanted to say, you Tang Yin are quick to talk. I just told you that if Gongsun Yi fails the exam in the future, I can arrange a job for him. You told Gongsun Yi so quickly? Since you encouraged him, how about you? What does it mean to leave a way out to participate in the provincial examination, and then point out the way out?
Zhu Hao nodded: "I have such an intention."
"Are you lacking people right now?"
Gongsun Yi's question was too direct.
It was so direct that Zhu Hao couldn't accept it.
Even if you, Gongsun Yi, are short of money to support your family, you wouldn't be so impatient to find a part-time job outside the palace, right?
Even if you want to ask, can we wait until we return to the palace to talk in private? I'm afraid it's not appropriate to say this in front of your wife, right?
In front of my wife...
Zhu Hao suddenly felt that Gongsun Yi's ambiguous attitude did not seem to be looking for a job for himself!
Thinking of this, Zhu Hao looked at Mrs. Gongsun, and then followed Gongsun Yi's words and said: "I was in the village and took some children to study in the city. I temporarily placed them in residential buildings in the city, but I rarely go there. I just hired an old master to teach them literacy. I usually teach them Three Hundred Thousand or "The Analects of Confucius" or something like that. Sometimes I will personally teach them "Arithmetic" and handicrafts. If someone can help me... With Mr. Gongsun's talent, it would be unavoidable. Overkill."
Sure enough, after hearing this, Mrs. Gongsun's face became more hopeful, and her beautiful eyes fell on Zhu Hao: "Then look at me... okay?"
Zhu Hao stared: "Master, you..."
I mean, aren’t you about to give birth? Isn’t it appropriate for you to ask me to invite a pregnant woman to go back and teach the child?
Even if you can start work right away, but you will have to take maternity leave in less than a month, what does that mean? Women in Ming Dynasty still pay attention to confinement, especially since this is your first child, it will take a long time to recuperate your body after giving birth.
Mrs. Gongsun said: "It would be great if I could help my husband share the pressure and allow him to study and take the imperial examinations with peace of mind."
Having said this, Mrs. Gongsun looked at her husband lovingly, as if to say, don't worry, you can go take the provincial examination and leave the matters of having and raising children and raising the family to me.
And Gongsun Yi actually...accepted it a little shyly?
Zhu Hao suddenly felt like he had eaten a fly.
Gongsun Fengyuan, Gongsun Fengyuan, I knew you were greedy for small profits, but I didn’t expect you to be this kind of person!
Where has the manliness gone? Why don't you come out and explain that you are a grown man who can support your family and take the imperial examination?
Zhu Hao glanced at Tang Yin next to him again. The old guy's eyes were full of envy and jealousy?
Be obedient.
As expected, the people in this car were not ordinary people.
Zhu Hao nodded: "Okay."
Having said all that, what else could he say?
This junior lady Hui Zhilan is very attentive. She comes from a scholarly family and has the temperament of a lady. She doesn't look like the kind of scoundrel who is unjust for profit. If she is recruited into her academy,
As a female teacher, not only will she be able to teach boys, she will also be able to teach the girls' school that Zhu Hao envisioned.
It seems that there is not much use for women studying, but Zhu Hao's workshop does not require too heavy physical work. On the contrary, girls are more adaptable because of their ingenuity, and rural children want to leave the village and settle and live in the city.
What's wrong with raising a family early and teaching them cultural knowledge and survival skills?
"Then I..."
Mrs. Gongsun looked like she wanted to take the job right away.
Zhu Hao hurriedly said: "Master, I'm not being hypocritical. Teaching work is not easy. It takes a certain amount of time and energy to teach and manage children. You may not be able to do it with your current body. You need to wait for the birth of your child and recuperate for a period of time. Your body
Do you think it’s okay to resume my duties after a little recovery?”
"This... okay."
Mrs. Gongsun could not wait to work to share the pressure at home, especially since her husband was already determined to prepare for the provincial examination next year, and it was very likely that the family would face the dilemma of being cut off from food and salary.
But Zhu Hao is the "boss" after all, and she can't stop giving birth to her baby. The boss said that she would come back to work after you take your maternity leave, so she can only accept it.
Tang Yin smiled and said: "Feng Yuan, Madam Ling is really virtuous."
With a little pride on his face, Gongsun Yi actually put his arms around his wife's thick waist directly in front of Zhu Hao and Tang Yin, and said with great happiness: "If you marry a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for?"
shameless!
Zhu Hao thought so in his heart, but he just thought about it.
Everyone has their own ambitions and cannot be forced.
Maybe Gongsun Yi himself wants to be a pretty boy?
It's just that he didn't have the opportunity in the past, but now he has learned from the old pretty boy Tang Yin, and he has already understood the qualities that a pretty boy should have... a hundred ways of eating soft food... and he has already begun to advance.
"By the way, Mr. Gongsun, how are you preparing for the provincial examination next year?"
Zhu Hao asked casually.
You won't tell me confidently that you are ready and confident that you can succeed in one fell swoop, right?
Gongsun Yi seemed to be self-aware this time, and said regretfully: "There are still many shortcomings, and we need to concentrate on preparing for the exam..."
Another quality of pretty girls...making excuses for eating soft food.
Suddenly, Gongsun Yi looked at Tang Yin expectantly: "I still need more guidance from Mr. Tang."
There was emotion in Tang Yin's eyes, and he sighed: "It's a pity that I have neglected my studies for many years. I am afraid that I am unable to support myself, so why don't you ask Zhu Hao for advice..."
