What they want is for you to recommend him to your young master, Zhang Shou, the teacher of the future crown prince, the third prince, and the fourth prince. Who wants you to recommend him to that ruthless Wang Datou? It has only been a short time since he left, but Wang Datou has been changing his trusted clerks like water. This kind of difficult to serve boss is simply a nightmare for his subordinates!
Seeing that after Deng Xiaodai broke free from his hand, he actually opened the leather bag at his waist, took out a booklet, then took out a charcoal pencil, and then raised his head to look at him expectantly, the middle-aged man who had just held his hand to introduce his son was stunned.
However, he soon woke up, stepped back hurriedly and said: "My child is weak and sick, I am afraid he can't bear to be driven by Mr. Wang..."
Deng Xiaodai grinned and said, "That's not right. My teacher said that astronomy and numerology are more demanding than classics and history. People who can learn well will not be sick! Elder, please don't be so modest..."
Before he could finish his words, the extremely enthusiastic middle-aged man ran away and disappeared into the crowd. Deng Xiaodai then revealed a bewildered expression: "My Mr. Wang is kind and tolerant, a very good person, otherwise why would my young master send all the students of Jiuzhang Hall to train? After this group of people came back, I heard that the next group will go again!"
"My young master also said that the first thing that the students admitted to Jiuzhang Hall in the future should do is to go to Xuanda for training for several months. Going to the most difficult place, to the place where the court needs them most, is the way to endure the most hardships and become a superior person."
Following these words, he saw the crowd disperse, and in an instant only the few clerks who had just explained the recent events in the capital were left. Only then did Deng Xiaodai scratch his head, then put the booklet and charcoal pencil back into the leather bag, and sighed and muttered: "General Wang is really a good man, my little master also said so..."
This time, even the soldiers who had accompanied Deng Xiaodai to Beijing felt itchy in their throats and started coughing. After a few petty officials looked at each other, the man who had just shown off to Deng Xiaodai about Zhang Shou stepped forward awkwardly and said, "I didn't know that you, Mr. Deng, were Zhang Xueshi's student..."
“Don’t call me Master Deng. My family has been farmers for generations, and I am just a minor official now.” Deng Xiaodai smiled at him naively, then bowed and said seriously, “I have been away from Beijing for too long. I am grateful to you for telling me about the current situation in Beijing, otherwise I would still be confused. May I ask your name? I will definitely recommend you to my husband, General Wang... Hey, please don’t leave!”
When they found that the petty officials had also fled at high speed, several of the guards burst into laughter. Some of them laughed so hard that tears came out of their eyes. They almost laughed to the ground: "Wang Zongxian's reputation in Xuanfu and Datong is so famous that it can stop children from crying at night. I didn't expect that he can also scare people in the capital!"
"Of course. Wang Zongxian was the governor of Shuntian Prefecture. I heard that Wang Zongxian admired the first magistrate at that time, but his appreciation was to give him a lot of things to do..."
Seeing several people laughing and gossiping, Deng Xiaodai said quietly, "Brothers, you have been traveling to the capital with me in such a cold weather. It's really hard. I will tell the General Secretary about your hard work when I go back!"
