Dress to be a celebrity

After several upheavals, it is a foregone conclusion that the Dazheng court suppressed the emperor's relatives and relatives and appointed Qingliu.

Although the clan relatives and relatives saw the deep meaning of this, but because it was not from their own family, they had no way to resist, and they were unwilling to do such an early bird, so they were all dull and speechless.The censors in Shangben and the ministers from other ministries who had long wanted to expel their relatives and cronies from the court were proud and celebrated the victory.

It's not enough to celebrate in private, Li Xueshi, Huan and Li Er Yushi must be invited to celebrate today's big victory!

Elder Li Ge was already old, and before he became an official, he made such achievements as restraining his relatives, and he was in a good mood, so he easily agreed to the invitation of those young censors to invite him to a banquet.

The usually solemn face is much more friendly, and Wen Sheng suggested to the censors: "If you have to invite the two sons Song and Huan to hold a lecture, it will be much more useful than eating wine alone. Back then I When I was not a cabinet bachelor, I heard that the lectures they held in Fujian were good, and I was waiting for them to hold such a conference in Beijing. Unfortunately, when they first entered Beijing, they were given important tasks by the Holy Committee. Went to the Northwest..."

Now that he has resigned from office, he will return to his hometown to retire in a short time. If he doesn't listen at this time, he will have no chance in this life.

All the censors listened and sighed with the old scholar: Mr. Li Ge is going back to Beijing, if you can't listen to them give a lecture before you leave, it will be a lifetime of regret.Song and Huan have also resigned from office, and they may return to their hometown to pay homage someday. How long should they wait to hear such lectures?

They made up their minds and promised in front of Mr. Li Ge that they must try to get them to agree to give a serious lecture.

Mr. Li Ge nodded heavily, and said: "The banquet is still going to be held, and I will also contribute a share of the money. Let's do it privately, so we won't ask other scholars and scholars to listen. You must invite people here, the old man still has something to say Speak to them both."

If these two young people hadn't resigned for the sake of the national economy and the people's livelihood, he might still be reluctant to part with the honor of his elders, and he wouldn't be able to do such a major event that would change the situation between the court and China, at least he would have to record it in the memorandum.It's really admirable to think that after the two of them resigned, they still have to do such arduous work as prospecting for the benefit of the country and the people.It's just that at his age, it's always a bit embarrassing for him to take the initiative to visit young people, so he happened to say a few words through the banquet.

Li Xueshi showed a gentle smile that was rare when he was in office, and agreed to wait for the news from the censors, then ordered the butler to send the guests out, while he walked into the courtyard, admiring the flowers and branches on the trees, listening to the birdsong in the porch, and enjoying the rest. leisurely life.

Several censors who came to invite him were flattered by the old man's attitude. After they went out, they cheered each other up and discussed how to invite Huan and Song to give lectures and have a drink.

In Song Dynasty, it was not difficult to invite. Everyone in the world knew that he had demoted himself out of Beijing for Huan Ling.He was willing to accompany him even on important matters such as resigning from office, not to mention other trivial matters, as long as he invited Huan Ling, it was tantamount to inviting Song Shi.

Huan Qianxian is a member of the Procuratorate!

Although he has never been in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for a few days since he became a censor, he either went to Fujian or Hanzhong, and he just resigned from office a few days ago...

Then he is also a member of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!

With the face of their colleagues and the invitation from Mr. Li Ge himself, can he still come?

impossible!

Several censors jumped on their donkeys excitedly, and went to the Huan family's old house to look for him.

When I arrived at Dehuan's mansion, I saw that his house was empty, only a family member who looked after the house came out of the gatehouse, clasped his hands and nodded his head, and explained to the censors: "Our third master has resigned from office and hasn't been home for a long time. Sooner or later It's all at Mrs. Song's place..."

The family has been talking about Ai Ai for a long time, and they don't quite understand what they said, but what do these people don't understand?

They are all the four ranks of the procuratorate, the capital censor... This is considered to be married into the Song family.

The family felt the same way, and told the censors: Not only did he live and eat in the Song family, but now he also followed Song Sanyuan to teach in the women's college run by his old man. He heard that he was teaching about "Yuanhai", but I wonder if it was Buddhist scriptures.

No matter what it is, the two of them have been famous for their lectures since Fujian, and now they can't even listen to them.No matter who he is speaking to or what he is talking about, it will not hurt to listen to him!

Several censors coincided with the meeting, and they refused to miss this opportunity. They hurriedly left Huan's family, those on horses and donkeys, and rushed to the women's college newly built by Mrs. Song.

The college is located in the small courtyard that Huan Ling bought for Song Shi in his early years.Because the house is right in the city, the neighbors are reliable, and the town contract and Baojia are also very strict, so the parents feel at ease when they send their children here.The college is not very big, and the sacrificial wine is Mr. Song himself. The teacher only has an old scholar whom he knows well, but he recruits two older female gentlemen who can read.Song Shi's biological mother, Mrs. Ji, brought their family's entourage, cook, and adoptive mother to help with some chores in the college.

Now that his two sons come to his college to help, he saves himself the time of sitting in class, and only patrols the yard, listening to the students coming from the window, and seeing through the window whether the students are serious about their studies.

When all the censors came to the academy, they heard that two famous masters were giving lectures, and they refused to interrupt their lectures. They suppressed their voices and said excitedly: "You are welcome, Shibo, how can we disturb Song Sanyuan and our Qianxian teaching? Wait for them It’s not too late to talk after this class!”

Just take this opportunity to hear what new Neo-Confucianism they have released!

The small courtyard was just an ordinary courtyard with three entrances, the main room and the left and right wing rooms were converted into classrooms, with large glass windows, transparent and bright.Looking in through the window, the front and back of the classroom in the main room are inlaid with large dark green wooden boards. There is a desk on the left side, and there are little female students who have not yet grown their hair.

Mr. Song proudly introduced: "Nowadays there are few students, and these two study rooms are enough. In the future, if there are more tables and chairs, or take up the wing room. This is the room for the gentlemen to rest and judge their homework. Please, sir. Several of the monks are sitting in the room."

There are also three rooms in each side room. The northernmost room in the west wing is hung with gauze curtains, and two female gentlemen can be seen vaguely, writing an article with a pen.In the middle room was an old gentleman looking at the manuscript paper full of writing, with a serious expression on his face.

Although they teach female students who don't have to take the science exam, their Song family is just as meticulous.

Even the censor who came to invite someone was amazed after seeing it: "There is no such a good school building in Jingcheng Public Primary School. The old man put his heart into it."

There are no such good teachers in public and elementary schools.

They first stopped at the door of Song Shizhan's classroom, and saw him flexing his fingers and teaching the children under the stage to calculate. At first glance, he seemed to have changed his career to become a Taoist priest.Fortunately, the window is transparent, and the writing on the blackboard can be seen clearly. They are all "28 square plus 88", "320 minus 93 minus 64 plus 28..." "[-] square" ([-] plus [-]) Multiply by thirty" and other arithmetic problems.

It is similar to some algebra questions from Hanzhong College. It is long and trivial, making people dizzy.

Mrs. Song said proudly: "Pediatrics teach self-cultivation classes. These students are young and have poor foundation. They first learn simple oral calculations, finger calculations, abacus calculations, and other four arithmetic operations. Don't look at these simple topics. It is not easy to add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers of tens of thousands and tens of thousands, just open your mouth, and the answer is accurate."

The ones sitting and learning now are nothing more than his own granddaughter, the granddaughters of his children's relatives, granddaughters, nephews of relatives and friends, and some classmates and girls from friends' families that his father and son met outside, they are not comparable to the ladies of famous families.However, the youngest daughters of ordinary families can learn this step within a few months of schooling, which can be regarded as their husbands who have never misunderstood their children.

Everyone looked at the blackboard and did their own mental calculations, and they knew how good these children were at their calculations, and they couldn't help but admire them.

Song Shi happened to see them through the window, so he suspended the class, let the elementary school students go, and opened the back door to come out to meet each other.

The Imperial Academy and the Metropolitan Procuratorate only stood back and forth in the court, at least they could be friendly and call "Brother Wang" and "Brother Zhang".The censors were more polite to him, calling him "three yuan", and they raised money from the whole of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to invite them to the banquet, and they said that Li Xueshi would also attend.

Of course, I hope they can give a lecture before the banquet.

In Song Dynasty, he already had a meal at the Hanlin Academy, and now he has no pressure to eat at the Metropolitan Academy.Not to mention lecturing, they have been lecturing to Hanzhong School of Economics for several years, and they often give lectures on both large and small classes, especially good at the sensational ceremony of sending off graduates every year.

He smiled slightly, and immediately agreed to ask for leave for the two of them and his father.

Master Song replied happily: "Of course I will! There is still Li Laoshi at the banquet, how can you neglect it? You don't need to worry about the affairs of the college. The arithmetic taught in your self-cultivation class is just addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Your father and I will do it easily." I also taught..."

Song Shi blinked, wanting to tell his father that quick counting with fingers is not an ordinary algorithm, and it would take hundreds of dollars to learn it in ordinary preschool classes.

It's a pity that Da Zheng doesn't recognize the pink ticket, and his father doesn't engage in early childhood education.As a son, he can only sigh for the teacher who invented the quick algorithm, and continue to listen to his father's education: "Even if I am old and slow in arithmetic, there are still Mr. Zhao and the others. Qi's class is not inseparable." Man, call your eldest nephew to come and teach for a day later..."

Teach can teach.

Brother Ting's arithmetic is better than his father's. When his father was admitted to the Ministry of Industry and was asked by the third prince to work in an economic park, he had to ask the child about many things he didn't understand.It's just that this child is similar to the little girl in Qi's class. As the elders, they are inevitably afraid that he will fall in love with some little girl when he was teaching, and his mind on studying will be distorted.

Old Master Song didn't mention the matter of his grandson acting as a substitute teacher, and changed his words: "It's not that there are ready-made questions, just add an in-class test to the students."

The old man was so considerate and courteous, the guests were very moved, and they quickly assured him that they would not hold such banquets frequently and miss the two adults teaching the students.

The old man Song felt relieved when he heard the word order "Song Huan", and replied with a smile: "The adults and the children go to the hall to have a drink of tea first, and I will call Nephew Huan Xian to come out to entertain the guests."

A younger censor asked: "When I came here, I heard that Huan Qianxian was talking about 'Yuanhai' here, but I didn't know what new Confucianism it was. Let's call him out, so we won't disturb his teaching students?"

Song Sanyuan taught only little babies who are not good at flexing and stretching their fingers, so they only taught addition, subtraction, multiplication and division; but Huanqianxian taught only big girls who started to grow their hair, so I don't know what the "Yuanhai" is. What about the science of water movement?

They cheekily went to the other side of the building, looked at the blackboard through the window, and saw that there were circles drawn on it, some circles had triangles outside them, some circles were circumscribed by circles, and some circles were drawn with various divisions. Lines, where the lines intersect are marked with characters such as A, B, C, D, etc.

Without looking at the title below, a censor shouted out on the spot: ""Che Yuan Hai Jing"! I know, the old family of the Huan family said that it is not "Yuan Hai", but Ce Yuan Hai Jing! It's so amazing! Do little girls talk about Ce Yuanhai Jing? How can they understand?"

"Che Yuan Hai Jing" is a masterful work on Rong Yuan's calculations, and he only flipped through a few pages, but he didn't pay attention to it.These little girls are only in their teens, how could it be so difficult for them to learn?Wouldn't it be enough to follow Song Sanyuan and learn finger pinch arithmetic like just now? !

The students in the hall are slightly older than the girls taught in the Song Dynasty, and they don't pinch their fingers. They all write and draw on the paper with a pen, with serious expressions, as if they can understand.

He was still shocked, and Song Shi couldn't help coughing lightly, reminding him that he was still listening.

"Brother Huan is talking about a new algorithm modified by the two of us based on "Che Yuan Hai Jing". These students were sent by their parents after listening to our names. Not too much effort."

This "two of us" Song Shi didn't feel guilty at all.Although most of the handouts were revised by Huan Ling in conjunction with junior and senior high school geometry, he spent money on geometry teaching aids at the beginning, and it was he who copied the original text and translated it into ancient Chinese. He must have had a lot of credit for coming out.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "If you want to read it, I'll get some handouts and the problems these students did."

He and Huan Ling are now squeezed into his father's office in the main room, and it is very convenient to get the papers as soon as they enter the door.But before he could turn around, the door to the classroom on his right was pushed open, and Huan Ling walked out, leaving behind a room full of well-behaved students who were silently bowing their heads and writing.

He was so good that all the censors who had been teachers and taught their children couldn't help but sigh.

Teacher Huan was the only one who took it for granted—in fact, not only female students, but also male students, none of them dared to be naughty in front of him.For example, Song Shi, who had a higher ranking in the scientific examination and was older than him in real age, should never admire him as a senior brother, always obediently called him senior brother in front of him.

It's just that Junior Brother Song likes to call himself "Uncle Song" and "Teacher Song" occasionally, and that's just a little love between them that can't be understood by outsiders.

Huan Ling first came out to meet his father, and then made a bow with his colleagues. His eyes flicked around in the air, and when they fell on Song Shi's face, he stopped moving.There was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he blatantly slapped Song Shi in front of Master Song, stretched out his long arms, and handed Zhang Yushi a stack of handouts and papers brought out of the classroom.

"Just now I heard you talking in the house, so I brought out a set of handouts, so I don't need to pick them up."

He was more modest than in the Song Dynasty, and never mentioned the credit for compiling the book. He only said: "This was originally a revision of the textbooks that my younger brother gave to Hanzhong College a few years ago. It contains many 'functions' that have been honed by many foreign scholars." It is very convenient to solve the problem by inserting the numbers into the formula'. I am not boasting, this method is simpler and more accurate than those described in master works such as "Che Yuan Hai Jing" and "Nine Chapters of Shu Shu".

Geometry is the basis of their industrial design, and the Hanzhong School of Economics teaches it very strictly.However, these students in Jingli are too young. When they offered this course, they modified it to reduce the difficulty.

Zhang Yushi took the handout on behalf of everyone, and after a quick glance, he saw that it was different from the usual Rongyuan technique—the algorithm was much simpler, and he added some novelties such as "sine" and "cotangent" that he didn't understand. word.

This group of censors have not been involved in mathematics for many years, and some even had trouble learning "Nine Chapters" when they were in elementary school. Looking at the dense dividing lines and intersections in the circle, they felt dizzy and couldn't help being surprised: "Such a young girl can read Do you have to understand this? This is not easy for male students to learn! In my opinion, it should be learned by scholars. Girls only do family calculations in the back house, just like Song Sanyuan taught addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. "

Song Sanyuan stood upright, when someone called his name suddenly, he couldn't help but look up at him.

His father felt that his son's career was belittled by others, which was bigger than his reaction. He slapped his hands heavily and said, "What's wrong with the girl! Why can't I learn this difficult problem? The female students in that room know More than scholars! I have also taught students before, and I have never seen anyone who is more obedient and studious than these female students!"

The censor just said something casually, but he didn't expect to be refuted by the master on the spot, and his face turned red immediately.

Song Shi, the master, couldn't watch his father quarrel with the guests, so he hurriedly started a fight: "Daddy, don't worry, your throat is splitting when you shout, I'll pour you a glass of hot water first."

He dragged his father back to his room to drink the universal hot water, and Huan Ling took the initiative to stand up for him to appease these colleagues and persuade them not to say such things next time.

Why can female students only do calculations in the back room and only learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division?

His younger brother opened a women's college in Hanzhong not to teach the ladies to read idle books, but to teach talents who are skilled and able to work!

"I only hear that heroes are judged by success or failure. How can anyone judge heroes by men and women? Although women do not enter the court as officials, can't they still set up workshops and start businesses at home? Not to mention how many people we have seen in the local area who can support the family. The businesswoman and editor-in-chief who support a group of workers and literati know a lot more than I did when I was twelve or thirteen, just looking at the students in that courtyard.”

He hadn't learned plane geometry at 22 or [-], and these primary school students have learned so deeply in their teens. In the future, if they learn solid geometry, algebra, physics, etc., they might be able to build cities and rivers for the imperial court.

…It is also good to do river work.

When he first arrived in Wuping, the first thing he did was to brave the heavy rain with Shi Guaner to lead people to repair the embankment.

At that time, in the heavy rain, stepping on the somewhat soft and sunken river embankment, there was only a bitter rustic smell in the nose.But when he walked to the embankment wearing an old sheepskin life jacket and looked at his junior brother who was also wearing an inflatable sheepskin jacket blurred by the thunder and rain, he felt inexplicably as if there were only the two of them in the world. The moment I caught him, it was as if I had caught half my life's thoughts.

He wandered thousands of miles away, and was coughed for a while before he came back to his senses, with a smile on his face that they couldn't understand, he casually comforted: "Teacher, so preach, teach, and solve doubts. But if you have to preach, why bother to ask whether it is a man or a woman? After the students learn it, use him as an official or do something else? We have not returned to Beijing for a long time, and there are no other students, so we only teach the children in this college. In the future, if others are willing to learn from us, they will naturally have to teach.”

Although he has an amiable attitude, he actually sticks to his father-in-law's position, dislikes his colleagues and can't speak.

However, in the "Sanyuan Girls' Academy" run by the Song family, no one dared to expose this in front of the Song family and female students. Only one Zhang Yushi was holding his plane geometry version of "Measuring the Circle and Sea Mirror" , and asked him excitedly: "In the future, brother Huan will also print this book that he has completed and teach it to students all over the world?"

As it should be.

What he learned was generously given to future generations by scholars hundreds of years later.He was fortunate enough to learn this from Shi Guaner, so he naturally wanted to imitate Shi Guaner, those scholars, and everyone's boldness, and teach what he knew to future generations.

If the things he wrote can be seen, learned by those who should have written them, and then inspired to write something more profound, that would be... very interesting.

After a long time, he also unknowingly got a bit of the taste of Song Dynasty.

Huan Ling smiled lightly, and sent his colleagues out of the house. Xinxin went back to teach him books, pass on his love, and please his parents.

However, outside the gate of the college, his former colleagues were holding books, holding tears, and sighed sadly for him: "Lord Huan has been wronged for being a relative of this family. First-rank Yushi of the capital, now he just listens to what the elder of the Song family says, and has no intentions of his own..."

Another person sighed: "He is a man...Brother Qi, it is inevitable that he will feel wronged."

Cough, it's all because of the bad atmosphere in Fujian, talk about brothers and sisters, and teach an upright censor to be a low-browed little daughter-in-law.

Among the crowd was a censor who was born in Fujian. He was not happy to hear his colleagues say this, and snorted coldly: "What's wrong with the atmosphere in Fujian? You don't like brothers in Beijing, but I haven't heard of any family that can do it." There is Huan Yushi, a newcomer who gives...father face."

Although the word "gong" was vague and never uttered, everyone knew what he meant. Think about the daughter-in-law in my own capital, Fujian, Suzhou, and Songjiang...

Hey, Song Sanyuan is really blessed.

But think about it the other way around, Mr. Huan can get Song Sanyuan, who is willing to resign with him and don't want his future, and follow Song Sanyuan to fulfill his filial piety. It seems that it is not a big deal to listen to the old man of the Song family up.

After all, what they Qiandu Censor taught was the Rongyuan technique that ordinary people couldn't understand, the knowledge of Sanyuan was so high, and they even taught children the arithmetic of knuckles.

After careful calculation, they felt that the Metropolitan Procuratorate was not at a disadvantage, so they calmed down and sent invitations to another Li Yushi's family who stayed at home to drive out his relatives.

Li Yushi's daughters could marry into the East Palace and become good concubines, so she didn't have many regrets when she resigned at such an age, she just stayed at home and played with her grandchildren, and her life was very happy.Seeing the old colleague come to invite him, he readily agreed, and scheduled a lecture meeting at Longquan Temple on the next holiday. After the meeting, a banquet was held to celebrate the victory of the Duchayuan's persuasion, and he sent Li Ge back to his hometown.

Although there are no meat feasts in Longquan Temple, there are spacious halls and open spaces.Eat some vegetarian seats to cleanse your heart and mind, just to listen to the lectures of Song Sanyuan and his wife with a clear mind, and then we all sit together and discuss the Tao.

Listen to Song Sanyuan's lecture?Li Yushi said pleasantly: "Will Song Sanyuan also go?"

Of course he agreed, Master Huan was going, where would Song Sanyuan not go?At most, their Qian Xian couldn't beat the eldest son of the Song family, how could they not be able to subdue Song Sanyuan?

There is no such reason in the whole capital!

Li Qianxian was thrilled to hear this, and drank the tea on the table in one gulp. After a long while, he let out a long sigh: "It's true love and sex, husband and wife love each other deeply, husband and wife sing..."

His former colleagues nodded along with him, but at the end they suddenly felt that something was wrong.

It's not that the husband sings and the wife follows, but the woman sings that the husband follows, right?How can there be a second-class Jinshi who can hold down the three-yuan Jidi?

One after another scorching eyes fell on Li Qianxian's face, staring at him so much that he couldn't boast anymore, he explained to everyone with a serious expression: "Is this a nonsense? It was the two long history of the original palace, Chu and Ma, who were about to leave. When I was in Beijing, I went to see him off and heard them talk about it."

"Song Sanyuan said it himself."

This is the extremely secret inside story that the two long history told him back then.

If he hadn't been the father of Crown Prince Liang Di and a colleague of Lord Huan, the two chief historians might not have been willing to tell him.Today, if he hadn't seen that he was a close friend of the Metropolitan Procuratorate for several years, and he had jointly advised the emperor to depose his relatives with Mr. Huan, he would not tell them.

The faces of the young censors suddenly changed unpredictable.

Li Qianxian was their predecessor, he had experienced this kind of heart-wrenching, and he watched them struggle with a calm smile.

It didn't take long for this group of people to admit it.A young censor slapped the Li family's table heavily, and squeezed out a voice full of tangled emotions from between his teeth: "I also said that Song Sanyuan was very lucky. , the noble Marquis, who can teach a group of young daughters arithmetic in the private school in the Sanjin courtyard..."

"No wonder when we said that girls shouldn't study, he rushed up to discipline us for Mr. Song..."

"No wonder he went out to see off guests..."

Isn't it the nature of a son-in-law to please his father-in-law and work diligently? !

What Song Huan said, it turned out to be Huan Song!

Those newspapers in Hanzhong don’t usually print “three yuan” and “three yuan” every day, and the puffed material for feeding livestock is called “three yuan feed”. How come such a major event is not reported?

This group of people went from shock to calm, and then from calm to a deeper level of turmoil. Their fingers were about to move, and they always felt that there were many things worth changing.

The ones sold on the market, such as "Huan Lang Runs at Night", "Song Sanyuan Chasing Huan Lang for Thousands of Miles", and "Song Zhuangyuan Sends Mandarin Ducks Passionately, Huan Yushi Explains His Meaning and Sings Parrots"... are all wrong.Now that they know the truth today, they have to straighten out these stories...

Having just won a big victory in a battle between Qingliu and his relatives, the young censors who felt that they could rest for a while, listen to lectures, and explore the unknown world suddenly felt a sense of urgency in their hearts.
