Besides, Shen Lang managed to create an image in the mind of his mother-in-law who forgives me for being unrestrained and loving freedom. Now I have to intercede with Xu Wenzhao just because of Xu Wenzhao, and my personality of Shen Lang will be ruined.
This Xu Wenzhao is still a distant relative of his mother-in-law, if Shen Lang proposes to her, wouldn't it be difficult for him to do so
How can it be difficult to lead? Do you still want to hang out
So Shen Lang sat calmly in his seat again, quietly waiting for Xu Wenzhao to bring his father-in-law to arrive.
"Are you still running?" Jin Mucong said: "Then you will be beaten later, but no one can save you."
Sure enough, only a moment later, there were hurried footsteps outside.
"My lord, I can't teach this book anymore. I have never seen such an uneducated person."
Xu Wenzhao's voice reached everyone's ears from a long distance away.
The dozen or so students present all sat neatly, with excited eyes and expectant expressions.
They are waiting to watch the show.
"My Great Yan Dynasty pays most attention to the king, relatives and teachers of heaven and earth, but Shen Lang is unscrupulous and has no respect for elders." Xu Wenzhao said sharply: "His behavior is like spoiling his classmates when he is young, and if he is older It is an unforgivable crime to destroy the family style of the Earl's Mansion, please be punished by the Earl, otherwise everyone will follow the example in the future, and the style of study in my Earl's Mansion School will be completely destroyed."
Shen Lang was really speechless.
You, Xu Wenzhao, don't like me, won't you hold back first, and then find an opportunity to kill me? Let me cause a big disaster, and then be kicked out of the Earl's Mansion.
Even if I was whipped thirty times by the Earl today, you would at most just let out a bad breath, and it would be of no help at all.
The Earl came to Shen Lang, and said coldly: "What's the matter? It's all right for you to be reckless outside, why are you so reckless at home?"
After all, he couldn't help holding the whip in his hand.
He is conservative and old-fashioned. Once there is a conflict between the student and the teacher, it must be the student's fault.
Jin Mucong had been beaten many times before, as long as the teacher complained, he would definitely be beaten.
Therefore, this fat man was very obedient in front of the teacher.
The Earl said: "Shen Lang, if you can't explain why today, don't blame me for being ruthless."
These thirty whips seemed to be hard to escape.
Shen Lang said: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law did nothing wrong?"
"My lord, you can see that he has never repented until now. There is really no cure." Xu Wenzhao sneered.
Shen Lang said: "Excuse me, Mr. Xu, did I whisper in your class?"
"Hmph." Xu Wenzhao.
Shen Lang said: "Then do I read other miscellaneous books, or sleep on the table?"
"Hmph." Xu Wenzhao.
Shen Lang said: "Since I haven't done any of these things, why don't I respect my teacher?"
Xu Wenzhao said: "When I was lecturing, you were out of your wits. This is disrespecting the teacher. Gentlemen put all their heart and soul into imparting knowledge to you, but you deserted. Isn't this tarnishing the style of study?"
"There is no arithmetic in the imperial examinations, so why do we have to focus on studying in the Earl's Mansion." Shen Lang said: "A gentleman has six arts, rites, music, archery, imperial, calligraphy, and mathematics. After learning arithmetic, you can understand the economy and people's livelihood, and you can understand everything in the world The changes. We attach great importance to arithmetic, and it is entirely due to the earl's foresight and foresight."
This flicker immediately made the Earl's expression ease a lot.
Although my son-in-law is naughty, he still understands my heart very well.
Shen Lang said: "Mr. Xu taught us the way of arithmetic. I respect it very much in my heart. I don't have any thoughts of disrespecting the teacher."
Xu Wenzhao said, "I'm in class and you're distracted, yet you still say you respect me? You're shameless and nonsense."
Shen Lang said: "Mr. Xu, because the things you teach are relatively simple, I have learned them all. If you pretend to listen carefully, wouldn't it be a waste of time, and that would be the greatest disrespect to you. Therefore, based on the content of your lectures, I will Extend your mind and explore deeper ways of arithmetic, this is the purpose of learning, and this is the real way of respecting teachers."
My day.
The dozen or so students around were stunned.
You, Shen Lang, are really good at fooling around, but why do I still think it makes sense when I know you're talking nonsense
"Hahahaha..." Xu Wenzhao laughed loudly and said, "The arithmetic I teach is simple?"
Shen Lang said sincerely: "Yes, it's too simple."
Xu Wenzhao said, "You know the arithmetic I taught you?"
Shen Lang said more sincerely: "It's not just about knowing it, you can do whatever you want and use it with your heart."
Xu Wenzhao laughed again, and said, "Fresh child, you have studied in the Hanshui Town School for ten years, and you haven't even finished "University", and you have never touched the way of arithmetic. How dare you say that you know what I taught you? It’s not slanderous, it’s ridiculous.”
Regarding this point, Xu Wenzhao was absolutely sure.
Although arithmetic is called one of the six arts of a gentleman, after all, there are not many civil and military examinations, so there are not many people who learn it.
And the school where Shen Lang was in, even their teachers didn't know how to do it.
The people who are proficient in arithmetic in Xuanwu City can be counted with two hands, and Xu Wenzhao is the best among them.
You can learn other things by yourself, but arithmetic is something that you can't even get started without a teacher.
So Shen Lang was bragging about everything he could say, it was really stupid.
Then Xu Wenzhao said: "Since you said you know it well, I will give you ten questions. If you answer three questions correctly, it proves that you know what I taught you. I will not punish you."
"If you don't answer three questions correctly, you will be whipped thirty times."
"And if you can't answer all the questions correctly, it means that you don't understand arithmetic at all, and you just talk nonsense. If you have such a wicked plan, how about a hundred lashes?"
As soon as these words came out, the Earl frowned.
He felt that Xu Wenzhao had gone too far, so he couldn't help saying: "Shen Lang, you apologize to Mr. Xu, this matter is over, don't be distracted in class from now on."
Well, my father-in-law still loves me.
And the eldest son Jin Mucong was surprised, father, you are not like this, you are so cruel to me, as long as the teacher sues you, you will beat me.
Why is it Shen Lang's turn, all he needs to do is apologize
The Earl is very conservative, but he is not blind.
Of course he knew why Xu Wenzhao wanted to hold on to Shen Lang, wasn't it because his nephew Wang Lian was not selected as the son-in-law of the Earl's Mansion
But Xu Wenzhao is an old man of the Earl's Mansion after all, and he has been managing the accounts for the mansion for more than 20 years.
Xu Wenzhao became anxious immediately, it is not enough to just make an apology, Shen Lang must be punished well today, and let out the bad breath in his heart.
When he went home yesterday, he was scolded by his wife and sister, saying that he was in vain as the Earl's confidant, and that Wang Lian was defeated by a waste.
Immediately, Xu Wenzhao said: "Your Earl, if you just apologize, then everything will be fine. From then on, every student will follow suit. Wouldn't the style of study in my Earl's Mansion be ruined?"
Shen Lang suddenly said: "As long as I answer the three questions correctly, I will be fine, right?"
"Yes." Xu Wenzhao said: "You only need to answer three questions correctly, which proves that you really know what I said in class."
Shen Lang said: "Then what if I get all ten questions right?"
"Impossible, young people don't daydream." Xu Wenzhao said: "Arithmetic is a broad and profound art. You are a mere scumbag, and it will be difficult to get a glimpse of it in your life. Let alone answer ten questions correctly, even if you answer five questions correctly, I will openly tell you." Apologize."
"One is for sure." Shen Lang bowed down and said: "My father-in-law will testify, the old master will testify, and all the students present will testify."
The Earl was about to reprimand Shen Lang for messing around.
As a result, the old master who taught the "Book of Changes" behind him smiled and said: "Okay, the old man will testify."
This old master is over seventy years old. He is not only Jin Mucong's teacher, but also the earl's teacher. Now that he has asked, the earl can't refuse.
"Hmph." The Earl glared at Shen Lang and said: "If you are so defiant, if you get punished later, blame me for being serious, don't cry."
Xu Wenzhao said, "Since I'm a teacher, then I'll take the punishment myself."
He was worried that Lord Earl would strike too lightly, so he had to do it himself, at least to beat Shen Lang half to death.
The Earl is about to refuse.
But Shen Lang bowed and said: "Mr. Xu, please ask the question."
"Hmph!" The earl was unhappy.
You, Shen Lang, don't know if you want to die, you can do whatever you want.
I know you have a superb memory, but you haven't been immersed in arithmetic for a few years, so you can't learn much at all.
Xu Wenzhao is so proficient in arithmetic, when you compete with him, you will be pitted against a stone.
…
Satisfied, Xu Wenzhao immediately returned to his desk and began to ponder over the question.
Of course he would come up with the most difficult questions, and it would be best if Shen Lang couldn't solve any of them.
In that way, Shen Lang can be whipped a hundred times, and he can be beaten to death.
Of course Xu Wenzhao knew that, in fact, the Earl deliberately favored Shen Lang in his heart, if he really whipped Shen Lang a hundred times, the Earl might be unhappy in his heart.
But so what? Xu Wenzhao's future in this life has come to an end, why should he swallow his anger
Besides, the accounts of the entire Earl's Mansion are under his control. It is the Earl who cannot do without him, not Xu Wenzhao who cannot do without the Earl's Mansion.
Therefore, he has nothing to fear.
For half an hour, Xu Wenzhao racked his brains and exhausted all he had learned in his life.
Finally, ten problems emerged.
One is more difficult than the other!
Xu Wenzhao could conclude that all the students present couldn't even do the first one.
Not only the students present, but not many people in the entire Xuanwu City who could get the first question right.
However, this is only the easiest one.
The following topics are simply outrageous.
There are several problems that he has read from the ancient arithmetic classics. Ordinary people don't say they can't do it, they can't even read it.
For someone as ignorant as Shen Lang to be able to get a question right, it was already unprecedented.
Xu Wenzhao could almost imagine what it would be like when he flogged Shen Lang.
He directly put these ten questions in front of Shen Lang and said: "Remember, if you answer three questions correctly, I will not pursue it, otherwise I will give you thirty lashes; if you don't answer one question correctly, then you will be given one hundred lashes!"
"Today I will teach you what is to respect the teacher and what is the way of arithmetic."
Xu Wenzhao slandered in his heart: "Young man, don't think that you can do whatever you want because you are handsome. If you are too young to fight with me, I will beat you half to death in a while."
