The sad reminder of the science man

In this way, Xue Chi began to go to Cheng's mansion to attend classes during the day, and to go back to Xue's other courtyard at night to rest and live a regular life.

Cheng Gong is worthy of being a great Confucian. Even a person like Xue Chi who is not familiar with classical Chinese can still listen to it with great interest. Before returning to Jinling, Xue Jia was able to understand some simple articles.

In order to keep Cheng Gong, Father Xue spent a lot of time on Cheng Gong's residence.Knowing that Xue's family lived in Cheng Guihui for a year, Xue's father got busy.Busy inquiring about Cheng Gong's living habits, busy collecting items that Cheng Gong might like, busy arranging Cheng Gong Xue's residence, anyway, all kinds of busy, but Xue's family has a good foundation, and the direct descendant has been an imperial merchant for so many years. There are so many good things.

In the past month, Cheng Gong didn't say he knew Xue Jia very well, but he still had eight points.Xue Chi is indeed very talented in miscellaneous studies and the like, and can often draw inferences about other cases from one instance.Some ideas, although they sound like children's words, but when you think about it carefully, you can often make Chenggong understand.Cheng Gong is also very satisfied with Xue Jia, the only dissatisfaction with Cheng Gong is that Xue Jia's understanding of the article is really appalling.

Let's use an analogy. At the beginning, Cheng Gong didn't know Xue Chi's shortcoming. When he taught the "San Zi Jing", he made a lot of jokes.

For example, when Cheng Gong asked Xue Chi, "If you don't teach, your sex will change."The way of teaching is expensive. '.Xue Chi explained that the dog stopped barking because its temperament changed.However, seeing a professional is called, and this is precious.

Another example is 'If the son does not teach, it is the father's fault; if the teaching is not strict, the teacher is lazy. '.Xue Chi said that it was his father's fault that his son didn't greet people when he saw him; it was because he was lazy when others greeted him without saying a word.

There is also something like "If a son doesn't learn, he will break the machine", that is, if the son doesn't study, his father will break his spine. Xue Jia also commented that this father is too cruel.There are still a lot of this kind of Xue Chi's twisted explanations, and every time Xue Chi said it, he looked serious, and he said that he said it was a correct answer.For this reason, Cheng Gong laughed secretly how many times when he taught Xue Chi.At the same time, Cheng Gong found out how whimsical Xue Chi was when he understood the article. Now Cheng Gong teaches Xue Chi to tell Xue Chi in simple words, explaining profound things in simple terms, one story a day, Xue Chi's memory is really good, and he remembers it every time he tells it It's clear, no matter if you ask again every few days, Xue Chi can repeat it clearly.

Soon in March, Cheng Gong and Xue's father and son embarked on the journey back to Jinling.Of course, considering comfort and Cheng Gong's age, they still chose to go back to Jinling by boat.

Now it's not February, but fireworks in March. Although it's the fireworks in March, Yangzhou, but Jinling and Hangzhou are in the south of the Yangtze River, and the climate is still similar.At this time, the scenery on the river was much better than in February.

In February, the river, the river surface is vast and white, the wind is biting, and the river surface is also deserted; but in March, it is a completely opposite landscape.There is a lot of activity on the river, and there is an endless stream of boats, which is a busy scene; the willows by the river are also swaying with the wind, swaying in various shapes; the water birds, wild ducks, and fish swimming in the water give the river a sense of vitality. .

Xue Chi and Cheng Gong sat in the boat together and looked at the scenery outside. From time to time, Xue Chi would point to unfamiliar waterfowls, fish, and plants and ask Cheng Gong, and Cheng Gong also patiently answered them one by one. Sometimes Cheng Gong would also say Write a few poems, or explain the characteristics of these things, and sometimes talk about the excitement and extend it to other aspects.Because Xue Chi was a man of science in his previous life, he didn't say a word to the poems in Cheng Gong's mouth. He couldn't hear the good or bad. In contrast, sometimes divergent thinking thinks about air, water resistance buoyancy, streamlined shape, and bionic technology.Of course Xue Chi can only think about these in his head, he will never say it.

Hangzhou is not far from Jinling, Xue Chi and the others arrived in Jinling in two days by boat.

Cheng Gong stayed at Xue's house, and received a first-class reception.Cheng Gong has a separate small courtyard, next to Xue Pan and Xue Chi. By the way, Xue Pan and Xue Chi have moved out because of Kai Meng and no longer live in the same courtyard with Xue Mu.

Chenggong’s courtyard is a typical Jiangnan garden style. The small courtyard is filled with rockery and flowing water, shaded by trees, and clusters of flowers. Walking in and strolling is also a scene within ten steps.The furnishings in the house are also excellent. Antiques, calligraphy and paintings seem to be placed without money. Of course, because of the design, it does not make people feel like a nouveau riche, but has a strong book flavor.Daily necessities are also one color blue and white porcelain.Needless to say, the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are absolutely exquisite.

Coupled with the fact that the Xue family still has Mr. Li, a student of Cheng Gong, and the fact that he has been with Xue Jia for the past month, Cheng Gong is also very satisfied with him.So in general, Cheng Gong is still very satisfied with staying in Xue's house.

After Cheng Gong lived in, Cheng Gong was more satisfied, not to mention food, after a month in Hangzhou, Cheng Gong saw how high Xue Chi's food was, and according to Xue Chi, it was still for the outside world.Sure enough, after Cheng Gong moved into Xue's house, Cheng Gong was more satisfied. Xue's house can definitely be said to include delicacies from all over the country.

Clothes, quilts and the like are definitely of a high standard, and most of them are practical, and those who are rich may not be able to buy them.And Father Xue would also send calligraphy and paintings from time to time, of course not the kind that are very valuable, but the kind that have their own style.In addition, Xue's father learned from Mr. Li that Cheng Gong has become obsessed with carving in recent years, and he found a lot of good stones.

Don’t say that a great Confucian should have demeanor, talk about money vulgarly, a great Confucian is also a human being, and a great Confucian also has his own preferences, and the great Confucian’s preferences require money, and calligraphy and painting require money. Let's carve, good stones are hard to find, and you need money... All of these piles don't cost money.Although Cheng Gong can't say that he can't have a breeze in his sleeves, there are many times when he can't afford the money for his favorite things.Now that Xue's family is rich and well-connected, and Xue Jia is Cheng Gong, he only needs a ritual disciple. Cheng Gong said that there is no pressure at all to collect some filial piety, Cheng Gong and Xue's family live very comfortably.

So in the end, Father Xue's sugar-coated cannonballs are effective, and Xue Chi is indeed talented. Chenggong Xue's family has decided to accept Xue Chi within less than three months!It was only because it was agreed at the beginning that he would watch it for a year first, so Xue Chi did not formally become a teacher for the time being.
