"I'll tell you this later. Now you just need to study hard with me." The gentleman avoided answering.
Zhou Lezhi heard that Wang Liang said that he was from the Yongle Dynasty and had gone to sea with the eunuch Sanbao to cultivate immortality overseas. However, most people thought that this was just a trick commonly used by monks and Taoists and should not be taken seriously.
If there is anything strange about Mr., it is that he looks like he is at most thirty years old. Yet he is knowledgeable and well-informed. This is what is surprising. Therefore, it is not surprising that Mr. He may have practiced the art of eternal beauty.
.
However, every time when others say that my husband has supernatural powers, he always says very humbly that he is just a mortal, and he just got a little wisdom by chance.
As for what this wisdom root is, everyone in the palace is kept secretive. Even if Zhou Lezhi is a "disciple", he still doesn't know. This makes this gentleman even more mysterious.
After following Mr. Wang for a few days, as soon as he went to bed that night, Wang Liang came to tell him to see Mr. Wang.
Zhou Lezhi already knew that Mr. Wang was the chief official of the General Affairs Department, which was a very big official for a common man like him. When he heard that he was going to see him alone, he felt a little timid in his heart.
He quickly got up and put on his clothes, followed Wang Liang all the way around, and came to a house. In the room he entered, there was a middle-aged man sitting upright in the middle, who looked very majestic. Zhou Lezhi
This was the first time I saw such a big official. My knees softened and I knelt down with a plop and kowtowed.
"Wang Liang brought you here and told you everything?"
"Yes, let Xiaomin learn from Mr. Zhou and become his disciple."
"You must learn from Mr. Zhou diligently," Mr. Wang nodded slightly, "Mr. Zhou is full of knowledge, has a lot of foreign knowledge, and is rarely willing to teach. You must not slack off."
"Young people don't dare!" Zhou Lezhi hurriedly kowtowed again, but felt that this answer was not appropriate, so he quickly added, "Young people will definitely risk their lives to learn!"
"Haha, there's no need to risk your life. Just understand it yourself. This is a great future."
"I would also like to ask the master to cultivate you more." Zhou Lezhi felt slightly relieved when he saw the master's gentle words and words of encouragement to him, and he quickly expressed his stance.
"Good boy." Mr. Wang seemed to be smiling, "It is fate that you have come to my house. Work hard and I will not treat you badly. It will not be difficult to earn a future and honor your ancestors in the future."
Zhou Lezhi was not a smart person, but he could tell that Mr. Wang's words meant that he was taking him personally. He warned him to distinguish priorities, and put his master-slave relationship with Mr. Wang first, and his master-student relationship with his husband second.
He hurriedly said: "I understand, if the master has any instructions, just give them to me!"
"You must study hard with Mr. Zhou." Mr. Wang listened and seemed to be thinking about what to say next, "Don't be arrogant. It's just that he is alone in my mansion. Since I am his
My boss, I have to pay more attention to him. It’s just that I have a lot of things to do on weekdays and I can’t take care of some small things - you can take care of him for me."
This was to ask Zhou Lezhi to monitor Mr. Zhou Lezhi. Although it was a bit unexpected, Zhou Lezhi had no mental barriers and immediately complied.
After all, he and his husband had only been together for more than ten days, and there was no deep friendship, let alone immediate benefits. Speaking of which, Mr. Wang was responsible for even his husband's food, clothing, and daily life.
Not to mention any independent ideas.
"I understand, little one!"
"You are indeed a smart man." Wang Yehao praised, "If you have anything to say in the future, just tell Wang Liang alone. You don't need to mention it in front of others."
"Here." Zhou Lezhi bowed and said.
"If there is an emergency, you can come to me directly." Wang Yehao stared at Zhou Lezhi and said solemnly.
From then on, Zhou Lezhi began his career as both a student and an undercover agent.
To be honest, Mr. Zhou didn't say anything out of the ordinary except for his usual incomprehensible words that made him look crazy.
They did not stay in the capital for too long, and Zhou Lezhi followed his husband to Shaoxing Mansion. This trip to Shaoxing was actually Wang Yehao's intention, specifically to ask for leave from the court. The reason was to "repair his parents' tombs", but in fact he had to negotiate with his younger brother
Land issues.
Zhou Lezhi didn't know all this. He just followed the large group of people all the way south. Fortunately, he could take the Grand Canal when going south. Mr. Wang is also a current high-ranking official. Whether it is boat use, missions or accommodation, he is supported by local officials, which is very convenient.
Taking a boat to go south also saves you the trouble of traveling and traveling along the way. When you are bored for a long time, your husband will teach on the boat.
In addition to the awkward "Mr. Mandarin", the content of the lectures also included arithmetic.
He had also learned arithmetic originally. For the sake of the future of his children, the elders of the clan also invited scholars who were good at arithmetic to teach them some arithmetic. Therefore, Zhou Lezhi not only knew how to make an abacus and calculate "a chicken and a rabbit in the same cage", but also learned "
Contents in "Zhang Qiu Jian Suan Jing" and "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic".
Although most of the content taught in these lectures is in the practical category and not very theoretical, it covers a wide range of areas, including plane geometry area algorithms, volume calculation formulas, solutions to linear equations, etc. So he is not a blank slate.
paper. Apart from the difficulty in accepting the new numbers and formulas at the beginning, I quickly got into it.
Zhou Lezhi could see that the teacher was very hesitant about what to teach him. Sometimes he taught arithmetic, and sometimes he taught the study of objects. Sometimes he taught the geographical pattern of mountains and rivers. In general, the teacher knew everything, and his wealth of knowledge was impressive.
——It’s just that the writing skills are so poor, the characters are as shaped as a dog crawling, and they are all in vulgar style. It is even more difficult to recite poems correctly. Let alone a serious reader, even
He can't compare to Tong Meng who has never even opened a pen.
When they arrived in Shaoxing, the Wang family returned to their ancestral home, but Mr. Zhou Lezhi and his entourage were quietly sent to a separate courtyard.
In the other courtyard, they still lived the same leisurely life of studying every day as in the capital. If there was a change, it was that the pair of beautiful maids sent by the prefect of Quzhou were given to them by the master Wang, and the brother surnamed Liu was sent as a gift.
Mr. Guard.
Since the arrival of this pair of beautiful maids, Zhou Lezhi has seen another side of his husband in this other industry. Although he was not well versed in literature, he was still a humble gentleman and treated the maids and women in the mansion with great respect. Only then did Zhou Lezhi suddenly realize
, it turns out that he was in a stable mood before but he just didn't meet the right person.
It’s not surprising that he was originally foody and sexual. But his behavior was really wild. As a disciple who lived in the same courtyard, Zhou Lezhi was also a young man with a strong temper. This intermittent night torture made him miserable. The next morning
The master is full of energy, but the apprentice is depressed.
Mr. Zhou spent a lot of time in Shaoxing Prefecture, and went to Cao'e Temple specifically. It is said that his hometown is in Shangyu County. He just walked around in Shangyu County, but never found the ancestral home and ancestral tomb. Mr. Wang asked Shaoxing
The prefect went to inquire, but could not find out the ugly Yin Mao.
Judging from his daily mood, it seems that he doesn't care about all this. Zhou Lezhi felt that his so-called "tours" were mostly sightseeing and had no intention of searching for his roots and asking about his ancestors, and he never mentioned anything about his ancestors.
And. This was quite a shock to Zhou Lezhi, who had lived in a clan village since he was a child and was raised by the clan.
Zhou Lezhi naturally didn't know what Mr. Wang was doing in Shaoxing, but every three or five days, Mr. Wang would definitely come to meet with his husband. The two would talk secretly behind closed doors. The master would also summon Zhou Lezhi from time to time to ask if he had anything.
Abnormal, what about his speech and behavior in private?
In this regard, Zhou Lezhi told the truth. However, from Mr. Wang's suspicious eyes, the other party seemed to be dissatisfied with his answer.
What exactly did Mr. Zhou talk to the master this week that made the master eager to know his "true face"? Zhou Lezhi was worried but also very curious.
However, Mr. Wang seems to be in a very good mood. He has become acquainted with Mr. Wang Liang, his long-term follower. I heard Wang Liang said that since Mr. Zhou entered the scene, the master's mood has been very good. He has more trust in Mr. Zhou and has become a big business.
I often ask my husband for advice beforehand.
"Everyone says that Mr. Zhou has the ability to predict the future. You are his disciple. Has he taught you?"
Zhou Lezhi shook his head and smiled: "He teaches a lot of things but it has nothing to do with divination. My nephew has never heard him talk about these things."
"That's right. This is the guy he eats. How can he pass it on so easily? He hasn't been there for three to five years, and I'm afraid I can't even see the fur." Wang Liang said, patting Zhou Lezhi's shoulder enviously, "Little
Brother, you are so lucky! With such a master, no matter whether you are high or low in the future, at least you will not have to worry about food and drink."
"Uncle Wang is joking, I am so lucky to be able to serve Mr. Zhou and make a living in the house. My nephew is already very satisfied."
"Hey! You probably don't know how much my master values Mr. Zhou!" Wang Liang lowered his voice and said, "Now I have staked half of my wealth and life on him. I can only obey his words!"
Zhou Lezhi was stunned. He had never thought that Mr. Wang would trust his husband so much. He wondered: "Although Mr. Zhou is very capable, everyone says he is a person with no roots and no background..."
"You are right, but he is very capable. Every word is true. No wonder the master trusts him." Wang Liang pretended to be mysterious, "A few days ago, the master also asked us to go to Dongyang and Jinhua to look for any suitable ones.
I am planning to buy the land to build a manor and give it to Mr. Zhou as an estate."
Zhou Lezhi's eyes widened. He didn't know where Dongyang and Jinhua were, but Mr. Wang actually wanted to gift the manor to Mr. Zhou. This gesture really had a different reaction! What kind of magical power does Mr. Wang have that would make Mr. Wang think so highly of him?
