Chapter 80 Don't bully the poor
Chapter 80 Don't bully the poor
Old Duguan lived with Zhang Yu in Pucheng when he was young.In the first year of Jingyou, after Zhang Yuzhong was a Jinshi, he moved to Suzhou with his master.Pucheng dialect is close to Wu dialect. After 20 years in Suzhou, Mr. Duguan learned the local dialect. Although Suzhou also speaks Wu dialect, it is quite different from Pucheng Wu dialect.
Nowadays, the Pucheng dialect spoken by the old capital still carries some Suzhou accent, which makes Zhang Yue feel strange to hear it.
Of course, the other party's attitude is also friendly and impeccable, and Zhang Yue can't help but try to figure out what the other party wants.Could it be that they came to clear the relationship?Don't worry when you come.
And the old man was also looking at Zhang Yue.
He was dressed in a neat and clean white t-shirt, and his cloth shoes were very clean. He didn't seem to be picky. At first glance, he could be called outstanding, but he was far from his second brother.
From then on, the other party's expression and actions when he came home have not been different, not like his brother's joyous expression just now.And when he spoke, the other party's brows were always furrowed, showing a deep sense of alertness.
Thinking of this, Laodu Pipeline said, "Sanlang will have thirteen this year."
"Lao Lao is concerned. I am indeed exactly thirteen this year."
At first glance, the smile is friendly, but you can also feel a little arrogance of a young man.
The old man made another evaluation of Zhang Yue.
"Uncle, are the two old people in good health?"
The old man saw that Zhang Yue didn't ask his second brother straight to the point, but first greeted the elders and couldn't help but compliment them, and said with a smile: "Thanks to Saburo, the master, the master is still tough, the master can still eat two catties a day today. mutton."
Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Uncle and his old man are still so fond of meat."
The old man laughed, and everyone laughed.
Zhang Shi smiled and said, "How about standing, everyone sit down and talk."
The old man said with a smile: "My grandfather, what he often thinks about now is the days when he lived in Pucheng, always thinking about getting old and always wanting to return to its roots, but now that his family has moved to Suzhou, he has no choice but to take root. However, the master didn't read so much, but the wife often remembers the days when she lived in Pucheng, when our two families were very close!"
Having said that, the old man watched Zhang Yue's expression carefully.
Zhang Yue said politely: "I didn't remember anything at that time, but I often heard my brother talk about my uncle and uncle's family."
"Then Saburo intends to go to Suzhou to meet his uncle, uncle and wife?"
Zhang Yue was slightly taken aback.
But seeing Laodu Pipeline: "Mrs. misses you very much in her heart, but she really wants to see you."
Zhang Yue glanced at his brother, but when he saw that his eyes were already reddish, he obviously remembered the second aunt.
"I wanted your brothers to go with you, but Lord Dalang couldn't get away, only Saburo went."
Zhang Yue thought about it and said, "I dare to ask the old man, is it my uncle or my wife who asked me to go to Suzhou?"
Old Duguan's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he hesitated before smiling and said, "Jun Saburo, what is the meaning of this?"
"Let me go to Suzhou, is it your uncle or your wife?"
"Jun Saburo is very worried. Of course, the reason for me to come here is to be with the master and the wife. Why does Saburo ask this question?"
Zhang Yue smiled and said to the other party, "It's all in your hands, how about I listen to my brother and sister-in-law first?"
The old man took another look at Zhang Yue, this child should be at the age of a teenager who does not know how to worry, but this gentleness and firmness was unexpected to him.
"I'm bored, all the third brothers make their own decisions." Zhang Shi said in a flustered voice.
Zhang Yue looked at the Yu family again. If anyone in this family is the most knowledgeable, it must be his own sister-in-law.
Yu said with a smile: "Uncle, since your uncle and aunt are complimenting you, it would be good to go to Suzhou. Yes, I have been thinking about my aunt. I wonder if she has a letter from home?"
The old man smiled and said, "That's not true, but Madam asked me to ask the eldest lady."
Yu said with a smile on his face: "Thank you aunt for remembering, it's good to be Mama Xu. She asked me to bring some medicinal materials last time she came to Pucheng."
The old man smiled and said, "That's right, take advantage of this trip to Suzhou, and take the third brother with you."
"That's the best, if you really have to worry about it, I'll take care of it."
"Haha, the eldest lady is so polite, what foreign language is your family talking about."
Zhang Yue didn't like other people arranging him like this, but then he thought of Yu's, why he asked the second aunt and Xu's mother about the situation.That's right, if the second aunt's idea is true, at least a letter from home will be sent, and a caring person like such a mother will also be sent.
However, the second aunt had no family letter, and she was not a self-confessed person like Xu's mother, which did not mean that the uncle was alone.
As far back as I can remember, Zhang Yue knew that the second aunt had absolutely nothing to say about her family. She wanted to see her, and Zhang Yue was sure that she would go to Suzhou without a word.Anyway, it's my second aunt.
But what about the uncle?
Zhang Yue had no impression, but I heard that he was extremely frugal.Frugality is, of course, a compliment, but righteousness is another.
"When I go to Suzhou, will I be able to see my second brother?"
The old man smiled and said, "Your second brother is not sure if he will stay in Beijing for summer lessons and autumn papers, but he will definitely return to Suzhou before winter."
The summer class refers to the spring test and the first child to live in Beijing, and the class is read as a text, which is called the summer class.Autumn rolls refer to articles made during the period.
Anyway, it's all the same thing. I asked a famous teacher in Beijing for guidance, and I kept the book for a few months in preparation for the test in the future.
But everyone else passively failed the list and took the test again, only the second brother took the initiative to fail the test and take the test again.
Zhang Yue said: "So, it's not the second brother's intention to let me go back to Suzhou."
Lao Duguan said at the moment that the smile on his face disappeared: "What does Saburo mean, do you have any concerns?"
Zhang Yue said: "The old man is in charge of Rongqi, and the uncle and wife love the little nephew. The little nephew is really flattered, but now the little nephew is entering the county school, and the schoolwork is very heavy.
The old man was stunned when he heard the words, and then smiled: "Blame me, blame me, I was in a hurry before, and I didn't make it clear for a while. This is what the master told me, 'Sanlang is a student, so don't delay, you tell him he Once he came to Suzhou, he was arranged to study in Suzhou Prefecture to pursue his studies, and his family would also invite famous scholars for him."
Suzhou study ah!
Zhang Yue couldn't help but be moved, this is the world-famous state school.
The reason why Suzhou State School is famous is because of Hu Yuan's teaching method of Suhu.
In the provincial examination, four or five out of ten students came from Hu Yuan's sect, and his students included famous officials such as Fan Chunren and Sun Fu.
The Suzhou state school has therefore jumped to the existence of only the Tai school and the prefectural school.
But Zhang Yue felt that there was something strange behind this.
At this time, Zhang Shi said: "Suzhou's state study may not be better than that of Pucheng county."
Lao Du Guan smiled and said, "Mr. Dalang doesn't know anything. If you can study in Suzhou prefecture, all scholars in the world can't ask for it. It's just that prefectural schools generally don't accept scholars from other places, and it's also because local officials look at the grandfather and the old grandfather. Of course, Saburo's funding for his studies in Suzhou will be borne by us."
Zhang Yu is the head of Wu County, and Wu County is the administrative office of Suzhou, not to mention an old lady who served as the chief of Dali Temple.
Local officials must be selling their face.
"I won't say that... Let's see what the third brother thinks." Zhang Shi sighed and looked up and down the house.
"I'm going out for a walk!" Zhang Shi's voice was a little choked, and he stood up.
Zhang Yue looked at Zhang Shi's back and seemed to feel a little dejected and sad. He didn't know what to say for a while. At this time, Zhang Qiu took Zhang Yue's hand and said, "Third uncle, how can Suzhou have its own home, this golden nest and silver nest are not as good as my own dog. nest."
Hearing this, Yu couldn't help laughing and said, "You child, when did our family become a kennel."
Zhangqiu pouted unhappily: "I can't bear to leave the third uncle."
Laodu Pipeline: "Little Langjun is so handsome, come on, I have a fun thing here, take it and accept it."
Zhangqiu stepped back to Yu's side, shook his head, and said, "Mother taught me that I can't accept anything for nothing."
"I am a family with your parents, can you take what your parents give you?"
Zhangqiu shook his head and said, "If you accept something from someone, you have to listen to what they say. It's okay for me to listen to what my parents say, but I don't necessarily listen to what others say."
The old man was taken aback and said: "The men of the Zhang family should not be underestimated except for this great man."
The sister-in-law said with a smile: "Uncle, you can see that you have been admitted to the county school. I don't mean that you are not allowed to go to Suzhou to study, but you are still young and you have traveled all the way to Suzhou. Years, it won't be too late to wait until you are strong. This way, you will live up to the good intentions of your uncles and aunts!"
"The lady is right!"
At this moment, Zhang Shi did not know when he had walked in, and his eyes were shining.
Laodu Pipeline: "Sanlang, what do you mean?"
Zhang Yue was about to speak, but the old man said first: "Sanlang, I heard before that you were admitted to the county school as the first, and the day of admission was when your second brother released the list. I guess most of the county magistrates are watching. For the sake of being a jinshi, Erlang-kun... heh, I was talking nonsense for a while, if I say something wrong, I'll give Saburo an apology first."
"It's not like that..." Zhang Shi was eager to explain, but was stopped by Zhang Yue.
At this moment, Zhang Yue had stood up, and for some reason the tears rushed to his eyes, but he held it back.
"Whether the county magistrate is looking at the second brother, no one knows, and there is no way to speculate. But the old man asked me to go to Suzhou to make up for the guilt of my uncle and second brother for our family. This is not necessary. Now we live well Very good, the life at home is getting better day by day. As for the uncle, uncle, and second aunt, we miss it naturally, but it is enough to have the second brother to act filially on behalf of our family. "
"It doesn't matter what my uncle, the second brother, and the old man cares about me, but after all, studying is my own business. I will go to Suzhou to find my second brother in the future, but it is not you who invite me, but go out on my own. No matter how high the mountains are, they are not as high as the sky. That's all!"
"Please take care of the old man and say hello to my uncle, uncle, and second aunt."
The old man said with a bit of apology on his face: "What are you talking about, but I was wrong. Saburo, I can see that you are a smart person, and the smart person will not go all out, so don't think about it anymore. One or two?"
Zhang Yue shook his head and went upstairs with his back.
At this moment, he wiped his tears with his sleeves and cursed: "Let's see, don't bully the poor!"
