"Do you still want to hear it?" Fang Zheng was as evil as the snake that tempted Eve to eat the jingo in the Garden of Eden.
"Think, think!" The fat man nodded his fat head like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Fifty taels of silver, a story, cash transactions, no credit allowed!" Fang Zheng revealed his true colors, showing his ferocious fangs. At the age of eighteen, he could no longer reach out to his family, so Fang Zheng had to earn some pocket money for himself.
The fat man looked at Fang Zheng dissatisfied: "Brother Fang, your family is rich enough, why don't you let go of this little money?"
"My home is my home. It's none of my business. Do you know what 'work-study' is?" Fang Zheng looked down at the fat man arrogantly. At first glance, this guy looked like he only spent money but didn't make money.
"Oh? What do you mean?" The fat man was confused.
"It means studying diligently and making money hard at the same time, supporting oneself, being self-sufficient, and causing as little trouble to the family as possible." Fang Zheng explained to him patiently.
"No wonder Brother Fang's family can earn such a fortune, the Fang family's tutoring is really extraordinary." The fat man praised with admiration.
Fang Zheng nodded proudly: "What about that? Five taels of silver for a story, a child with no deception, can we do this business?"
The fat man took out a banknote from his pocket nonchalantly and slapped it into Fang Zheng's hand without looking at it: "Ten first!" He looked like a nouveau riche visiting a brothel and calling him a fan. Fang Zheng didn't want to pay attention to it.
he.
When he took the banknote and looked at it, he was shocked! Five hundred taels? Aren't ten stories fifty taels? Did the fat man hear it wrong, or did he count wrong? Or, did he not know how to count at all?
"Fat man, what is three times forty-five?"
The fat man clapped his fingers, tilted his head and thought for a while, then said uncertainly for a while: "It's equal to... ninety-five...?"
Okay, don't worry. Fang Zheng put the banknote into his arms with peace of mind, cleared his throat and said: "Let me tell you a story about "Sleeping Beauty" first. Just by hearing the name, you know that the content must be very exciting, hehe
."
"Okay, okay." The fat man nodded rapidly.
"Well, cough..." There was a sound of coughing in the distance. The fat man put away his lewd smile, quickly sat upright, and whispered: "Sit tight, Master Chen is here to teach."
It turned out that it was time for class. Fang Zheng looked around and saw that the students were all sitting upright. When Master Chen came to the podium, everyone stood up and saluted respectfully, and Fang Zheng followed suit.
Master Chen glanced at Fang Zheng intentionally or unintentionally, then motioned for everyone to sit down, open the books, and start teaching.
"The way of a university lies in being virtuous, being close to the people, and striving for perfection..."
Fang Zheng let out a big yawn out of boredom, and heard Master Chen's string of "what the hell" in his ears. Fang Zheng was as confused as a dog looking at the stars, a typical expression of an ignorant person.
I glanced at the fat man and found that he was also not paying attention. No matter what the master said above, he ignored it and just wrote and drew on the paper. Looking at the other students, half of them didn't pay much attention to the lecture and were busy with their own business.
For various things, some were manicuring their nails openly with a knife, some took off the jade pendant from their waists, held it in their hands and caressed it, admiring it as lovingly and meticulously as if they were stroking their lover's breasts, and some rested their heads on the table.
, but his eyes were focused on the bottom, and when he looked carefully, hehe, he turned out to be reading an extracurricular book with illustrations.
After seeing the performance of these students, Fang Zheng was delighted. This was simply a replica of his previous university class. Looking at Master Chen again, he was giving lectures without raising his eyelids, turning a blind eye to the various attitudes of the students below.
Very much like the university teachers of later generations. Haha, so kind. Going to school is becoming more and more interesting.
Fang Zheng's strength has always been to follow the good deeds, so he also lay down on the table and fell asleep lazily. He got up too early in the morning, and Young Master Fang was still sleepy.
Fang Zheng was drowsily asleep when he felt someone kicked him lightly. He looked up and saw the fat man winking at him. The fat man's facial features were already too long, but after another wink, Fang Zheng discovered - Huh?
It turns out to be much more pleasing to the eye. It’s amazing! Creatures confuse people. It turns out that the so-called “negative minus makes positive” in mathematics is quite reasonable.
Fang Zheng said loudly: "Don't move! Yes, just keep your expression like this and don't move. Well, very good!" Fang Zheng happily patted the fat man on the shoulder and said: "It turns out that you are handsome sometimes, not bad.
Catch up with me soon, haha.”
The fat man covered his face and sighed, turned his head and muttered: "You're done."
Fang Zheng was startled. He looked around and found that everyone was staring at him, including Master Chen...
————————————————
A long time ago, Fang Zheng's university teacher told him that there is a price to pay for being complacent. Now, although Young Master Fang is not complacent, he is indeed getting carried away. So he is waiting to see what price he has to pay. - Ancient Teacher
Shouldn’t parents be asked to talk to them at every turn?
Master Chen was a good man, an intellectual with the idea of loyalty to the emperor and the country, and Fang Zheng admired him quite a lot. This made Fang Zheng feel very guilty. In fact, he had no intention of causing trouble in class.
Master Chen said with a straight face: "Fang Zheng, I see you chatting and laughing, so you must be knowledgeable and don't need to listen to my nagging anymore?"
Fang Zheng hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I don't dare. The student got carried away for a moment. I hope you will forgive me."
Master Chen said: "I see that you are full of confidence in your movements. You must have mastered the Four Books and Five Classics, the Classics and History Collection. In this way, I will not bully you. I will make a match. If you can match it, this matter will be solved.
How about it?" Master Chen's expression was stiff when he said this, but a smile flashed in his eyes. - This guy is not exactly a nerd.
I have also opened up the Ren and Du channels! This guy is deliberately running against me. Fang Zheng was secretly angry, knowing that you and I are addicted to each other, so if you want to tell me directly, do you have the right to beat around the bush like this?
A group of students responded: "Okay, okay!"
"That's how it should be. Teacher is magnanimous and has a bodhisattva heart."
Damn! A bunch of polite scum who are adding insult to injury just to watch the excitement! Fang Zheng thought bitterly. Fatty is better. While he was quite tempted by the upcoming excitement, he looked at Fang Zheng worriedly, fearing that his new friend
The friend made a fool of himself on the spot, and the two sides weighed the situation, which made him extremely embarrassed. Fang Zheng felt that what he was most worried about was that his five hundred taels of silver notes were wasted.
Fang Zheng looked at Master Chen carefully and tried to communicate with him: "Master, can you stop playing against the pair? Can you change the palms of your hands?"
Master Chen had a smile in his eyes, shook his head slowly, and said firmly: "There is no need to discuss it. If we can get it right, we will let it go. If we can't get it right, I will punish you by copying "The Great Learning" a hundred times."
This guy is so unkind. He bases his interest on the suffering of others. It is said that ancient people upheld benevolence. Why do all the ancient people I meet seem to be sinister and cunning people? Even the teachers in the school
Also this kind of beating nature.
Fang Zheng said dejectedly: "Then I'll ask you, Master, to come out."
Master Chen looked out the window and pondered for a while. The academy was not far from the Qinhuai River, and the scenery of Qinhuai could be seen outside the window. Master Chen stroked his long beard and said slowly: "The wind in Qinhuai chases the shadows." Master Chen's face was filled with nostalgia. Could it be that
Recall the scenery of visiting the kiln in the prosperous days?
"Good couplet!" Fang Zheng praised it out loud. In fact, this pairing is not considered a good one. Anyway, according to the convention, it must be praised. Disapproving it would appear that he has no taste.
Master Chen stroked his beard and smiled, saying: "This couplet is very common, and it is not difficult for you. You are the right one."
A group of students looked at Fang Zheng eagerly, with different expressions. Some were gloating, some frowned and thought, and of course, some sympathized with him. This one was represented by the fat man.
Fang Zheng followed Master Chen's example and pretended to look out the window deeply, pondering endlessly. The scenery outside the window was nice, with gentle breeze, weeping willows, painted boats, and pink heads. - The painted boats on the Qinhuai River were also open during the day, and the bows of each painted boat docked.
For those literati and sluts to come aboard and spend the day reciting poems and composing poems with the girls to show off their talents. Of course, there are also those who engage in prostitution during the day, which literati are generally embarrassed to say.
Fang Zheng also wanted to experience the famous Qinhuai romance. Of course, being with the girls was a pure discussion of knowledge and had absolutely no other meanings. If the girls were attracted by Master Fang's talents and knowledge, they violently forced him to have sex with him.
They spend their youth together, so he can't resist, right? They have strength in numbers...
"Yes, hurry up!" The students' urging interrupted Fang Zheng's yin. They saw that he had been pondering for a long time and still hadn't finished, so they all got impatient.
Fang Zheng looked left and right and saw rows of painted boats lying across the river. He had an idea and said to Master Chen: "The wind in Qinhuai chases the shadows, the students write the second couplet, and the brothel is in chaos."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a roar of laughter, and even Mr. Chen, who looked calm, twitched his lips.
The fat man patted Fang Zheng on the shoulder and laughed loudly: "You are so talented!"
