"I married you at the age of 18. I didn't ask for glory and wealth, and I had no future. However, my husband and my children were not troubled. Unexpectedly, you repeatedly made your own decisions and never took me seriously..." Mrs. Yu wept as she spoke.
Zhang Yue continued: "Sister-in-law, we'll talk about it later, and we'll talk about it later. Brother, I still have Xi'er in my heart."
Zhang Shi said: "Madam, third brother finally went home and didn't talk about these things."
"Since I promised to buy frosting for Xi'er, I won't miss him this year. Although our family's situation this year is not good, we still have to survive no matter what the year is."
When Mrs. Yu heard this, she was completely despaired. She sighed and went upstairs without saying a word.
Zhang Shi said to Zhang Yue: "Third brother, sit down first, I will cook for you!"
Zhang Yue smiled bitterly and said to himself, Brother, can you eat the food you cooked?
Zhang Yue and Zhang Qiu stayed downstairs. Zhang Yue watched Zhang Qiu licking the second portion of icing sugar.
"Uncle Third, why do I think the frosting dad bought is not as delicious as yours?" Zhangqiu said as he licked it.
Zhang Yue deeply understands that a bottle of Coke costs three yuan and the first sip is worth two and a half yuan.
"That's because you eat two servings of icing a day. If you are willing to save this and eat it tomorrow, then it will definitely taste as sweet as today."
Zhang Qiu only hesitated for a moment after hearing Zhang Yue's words, and finally continued to lick the frosting.
"That's all I know."
Zhang Yue thought of the experiment on delayed gratification in his previous life. Children who can achieve delayed gratification are generally more successful.
So Zhang Yue said to Zhang Qiu: "If you can resist eating it, how about my third uncle buying you some frosting tomorrow?"
Zhangqiu thought for a moment and immediately shook his head.
Zhang Yue said: "You don't want to eat two portions of frosting? How about three portions?"
Zhang Qiu carefully collected the icing and put it into his pocket, then whispered: "My third uncle gave all his money to my mother just now. Besides, when I gave you the icing just now, my third uncle has eaten it. Now this is my father." Bought for me."
This kid...immediately vomited out what he ate!
"Do you think Third Uncle won't let you eat? Do you want to eat it secretly?"
Zhangqiu thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "Yes."
At this moment, Zhang Yue could only look up to the sky in embarrassment and say haha: "Didn't you see that Third Uncle I was joking with you?"
"Third uncle, don't treat Xi'er as a three or four-year-old child."
While he was talking, someone knocked on the door and said, "May I ask if this is the Zhang family? Is Zhang Dalang here?"
After Zhang Shi walked downstairs and opened the door, he said: "Isn't this Mr. Zhuang? How dare you come to visit me? It's Chinese New Year, so I'll visit you in person."
Zhang Yue understood that Mr. Zhuang was a teacher from Zhangqiu's private school. For some reason, he came to Zhangqiu's home at this moment. Students shouldn't go to their teacher's home to pay New Year's greetings these days. How could he come to a student's home?
Zhang Yue was about to greet him when he saw Zhang Qiu pulling his sleeve.
"What's wrong?"
"Third uncle, there is something I forgot to tell you. Mr. Zhuang asked you to go to his place when you go home."
"Mr. Zhuang? What do you want me to do?"
Zhangqiu said: "It's like the three-character poem."
"Three-character poem? Three-character classic?" Zhang Yue asked in surprise, "Have you told your husband about the three-character poem?"
Zhangqiu nodded.
Zhang Yue immediately put his hands on his hips and put on a serious face, while Zhang Qiu lowered his head: "Uncle, please don't be angry..."
Zhang Yue snorted coldly and gave him a shudder on his forehead: "I'll settle the score with you later."
"Oh, it turns out that sir is here to see Third Brother," Zhang Shi said with a smile, "Third Brother? Third Brother?"
Zhang Yue walked out of the door reluctantly, but saw a teacher in his forties standing next to Zhang Shi. The man had a beard that was half black and half white and seemed to have poor eyesight. He looked at Zhang Yue habitually. He took a step closer and looked up and down.
"This must be Sanlang! I have heard your name many times from my nephew's mouth, and I have admired you for a long time."
"Sir, that's a ridiculous compliment. I don't dare to take it seriously!"
"Sanlang, can you lend me a moment to speak?" Zhuang Xuexue said with a smile.
"Of course."
Zhang Shi pointed out: "The north room upstairs is where we talk. Mr. Zhuang must stay for dinner today. Let me prepare a few dishes to thank you."
"Easy to say, easy to say." After Zhuang Xuejun saluted, he immediately walked upstairs and went into the north room with Zhang Yue to talk.
And Zhang Shi quickly said to Zhang Qiu: "You stay at home and stay at home. I'll go to the wine shop next door to get a drink and buy some vegetables."
Zhang Qiu frowned and said, "Dad, if you spend money again, mother will not like it."
"I'm confused, that's your husband. How can you do it without good food and wine? No matter how much money you have, you have to be willing to give up. Dad is going out, so be smart." After saying this, Zhang Shi went out quickly.
When he arrived in the north room, Zhuang Xuexiu took the first step and sat down. He turned to Zhang Yue and said to Zhang Yue: "You sit and talk without being polite. When we get to know each other later, you will know that I am a good talker."
"I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it." Zhang Yue sneered in his heart, and now he took the initiative.
Zhang Yue found Zhang Ta and sat down.
"I wonder where Saburo is studying now?" Zhuang Xuexue asked inquiringly.
Zhang Yue said: "Recite whatever you want in the mountains."
"I wonder which mountain and which scholar?" Zhuang Xuexuan asked.
Zhang Yue said: "It's Mr. Guo from Wuxi."
"Oh? Is it Mr. Guo?"
Xuexue Zhuang smiled and stroked his beard, the meaning behind his words being self-evident.
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "Mr. Zhuang doesn't seem to understand me very well, so I'll say a few more words..."
Zhuang Xuexue waved his hand and said: "No, I know that your second brother Zhang Xu is a famous talent in the township and is the first-class talent in this county and even this state."
Zhuang Xuexue said calmly: "But after I hated Zhao Yasi, I have now disappeared. It is a pity that such a talented man made a wrong move."
"No, what Mr. Zhuang knew was half a year ago. Now my second brother has found his way elsewhere and will go to Beijing to take the provincial examination this spring."
Hearing this, Xuexue Zhuang took a slight breath, and then smiled and said: "I see, but passing the provincial examination may not necessarily pass the provincial examination. That's all. Let me get straight to the point. I came to you today because I heard what Zhang Qiu said.
Is it right that you composed a three-character poem? But you are just a newly enlightened student, how could you write such a poem..."
Zhang Yue waved his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhuang, I haven't finished speaking yet, otherwise there will be a misunderstanding below and it will be difficult for everyone to talk in the future."
Zhuang Xuexue was slightly surprised when he heard this. His words did not sound like those of a twelve or thirteen year old boy, how could he be so sophisticated?
"Please Saburo speak frankly."
Zhang Yue said calmly: "Mr. Zhuang, to be honest, my second brother passed the imperial examination...and it was issued by Suzhou. Did Mr. Zhuang remember anything?"
Zhuang Xuexue thought: "Suzhou? Your Zhang family is in Suzhou..."
Zhuang Xuexue thought hard, although the Zhang family in Suzhou was divided into separate families, there were still many prominent figures, such as Zhang Pin, Zhang Quan, and Zhang Yu, who were all Jinshi officials.
Zhang Erlang was able to publish the solution in Suzhou and passed the imperial examination, so it must have been arranged by their family...
No wonder this Erlang wanted to run away from his marriage...the truth is here, I understand.
Thinking of this, Zhuang Xuexue's expression suddenly became better for a long time, and he smiled warmly at Zhang Yue and said: "Hey, Sanlang, do you have any relatives in Suzhou? Don't tell me, if the news leaks out, Zhao Yue will
As for Aji...then you will think it was me who said that."
"I'm not afraid that Zhao Yasi will know... but it will save me a lot of trouble... The most important thing is that my husband and I hit it off right away, so it's inevitable that we'll tell each other frankly!"
"Hahaha, don't worry, Sanlang. I will keep it a secret. If what happened today comes out of your mouth or into my ears, no third person will know about it." Zhuang Xuexue smiled and said: "Actually, Sanlang, your nephew is
My beloved disciple, I take good care of him in the elementary school, so I love you too!"
Zhang Yue thought for a while, he couldn't figure out why online novels always pretended to be cool and slapped him in the face, since he had good cards and could show them immediately. Although he was relieved after being slapped in the face, he also made a grudge.
"Sanlang, I have no other intention this time. I just want to talk about the three-character poem. You are young and talented and can write such elementary school readings. But you want to report to the top. Not to mention the imperial court, the state will also reward you.
The name of the next child prodigy! It will be of great benefit to your future!"
Zhuang Xuexue's tone changed quickly. Just now he was doubting whether he could write the Three-Character Sutra, but now he wanted to put the name of the child prodigy on his head.
Zhang Yue smiled slightly when he heard this and said, "I have never thought about the name of a child prodigy."
Zhuang Xuexue clapped his legs and gave a thumbs up and said: "Sanlang is very well-mannered. If it were anyone else, I would be unable to sit still at this moment, but you are calm and relaxed. You are indeed Erlang's brother."
