In the Northern Song Dynasty, it was a good thing for the poor if they could study.
But the problem needs to be looked at differently.
For Hei Zhu, he is a lowly citizen, and he is not too young, so it is useless to study again, and it is a waste of time.
As for Xiao Lingo, her sense of security is still not enough, and she doesn't want to leave this yard at all.
Going outside to study or something is a little scary for her.
So neither of them paid much attention to reading.
Looking at the depressed expressions of the two, Lu Sen shook his head helplessly and said: "It's not that you can study to the point where you can become a scholar in the imperial examination, but that you can read and understand arithmetic, and it will be much more convenient for you to do things in the future."
"Lang Jun, how long will it take to learn?" Hei Zhu asked.
"Be diligent for a year or two, and be lazy for about four or five years."
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief. They both thought they were very diligent, and they probably could learn it in a year or two.
Seeing that they had no objections, Lu Sen settled the matter.
After waiting for three days, Lu Sen personally carried a bunch of vegetables and went to the foot of the mountain to escape.
Old Master Chang was sitting on a rocking chair in the yard basking in the sun. Lu Sen knocked on the wooden door outside and said with a smile, "Mr. Chang, the boy is here to visit you."
When Old Master Chang heard Lu Sen's voice, he immediately opened his eyes, saw the bundle of tender green vegetables in the latter's hand, immediately stood up, and said with a smile: "Lu Xiaolang, it's rare that you take the initiative to come in as a guest, come in."
He took the initiative to step forward, took the vegetables from Lu Sen's hand, and took Lu Sen's hand to walk into the house.
After the two sat down, a middle-aged man who looked like a servant soon brought two cups of green tea on a plate, and took the bundle of green vegetables away.
Old Master Chang's hair was gray, he looked at Lu Sen with a smile, and said, "This old man and Lu Xiaolang have known each other for a while, and I know you are a straightforward person. This time, I must be looking for this old man for something. Please tell me directly."
Here in the Northern Song Dynasty, the elderly had privileges.
Especially the old people who have read books.
They can ignore those cumbersome customs and say whatever they want.
Lu Sen clasped his hands and said, "It is indeed Mr. Chang. I heard that the old man is going to open an ethnology school. I want to send two people to school, is it possible?"
"I run a school, and there is no discrimination." The old master smiled happily: "If you want to send people in, of course I welcome them. It's just that I don't care about the Shuxiu of ordinary students, but Lu Xiaolang, the people you send, they have to hand them over." Shu Xiu, I want to talk to you."
"What kind of beam repair does the old man want? Money, or wax?" Lu Sen asked with his fists clasped.
"These are common things." Old Master Chang held his white beard captive, and smiled triumphantly: "I want you to bring over the raw vegetables grown at home."
As soon as Lu Sen said this, he laughed.
Dare to feel this old master knows the goods. Knowing that you have money to buy your own vegetables may not be able to buy them.
He asked: "How much does the master plan to ask for?"
The old master thought for a while and said, "Let's provide ten catties per month. I know that there is a saying about the seasons for growing raw vegetables, so there is no need to send them for a full month at a time. Just send some over every few days. I also know that. After half a month, it will be a frosty day, and there will be four months of freezing weather, and at that time Shu Xiu will be temporarily owed, and he will slowly make up for it in the spring of the next year."
Having said that, the saliva in Master Chang's mouth began to increase.
He likes to eat raw vegetables grown in Lu Sen's yard very much, almost to the point of addiction.
"Yes." Lu Sen nodded.
Ten catties a month is not too much. He stood up and asked, "When will school start?"
"October 15th." Old Master Chang took a sip of green tea and smiled happily.
Thinking that there will be a lot of green vegetables to eat in the future, he is very happy.
Afterwards, Lu Sen came out from Chang's house and met Chang Wei who was returning from the city at the door.
This little scholar's hair scarf is a bit messy, and there is a pink lip mark on his neck.
When the two sides met, they clasped their fists and saluted at the same time, and then passed by each other.
Without waiting for Lu Sen to go far, he heard the old master's roar from behind the Chang family's house: "You evil animal, you went to look for flowers and ask willows again, ruining the family tradition! Come on, bring me the old man's walking stick."
Lu Sen laughed when he heard this, and after returning home, he led Hei Zhu to the city to buy pens, ink, paper and inkstones for the two of them.
The last time the Cao family asked for wooden armor, they sent a large amount of gold and silver treasures. As long as they don't waste money, with Lu Sen's current level of self-sufficiency in the yard, it is estimated that they will not be able to spend it all in a lifetime.
&nbIt's different, even real techniques can be practiced, and it's so strange to practice the secrets of Qi training in the world.
Lu Sen didn't think it was strange, he was a golden finger, he ate vegetables from the yard every day, and drank some honey from time to time, so it was strange that his body would have hidden injuries.
He asked: "I just want to ask Zhan Butou, how should these internal qi work after training, do you have anything to say?"
In Taiyi Hunyuan Kung Fu Secret Book, only how to practice Qi is written, but how to use Qi is not written.
"Of course there is." Zhan Zhao nodded, and said rather embarrassedly: "But these are all secrets that are not passed on, so I'm sorry that it's hard for me to explain."
Understood!
It's no wonder that even the qi training secret book handed to the first emperor did not include the content of using 'inner qi'. It turns out that the Taoist priests in Zhongnan Mountain still hid it.
But it can also be seen from this incident that how to use 'inner energy' is the core of all schools and all family martial arts.
It was almost the end of the conversation, and then the two chatted casually for a while. Around noon, Lu Sen, who was a little drunk and dizzy, left Zhan Zhao's house.
Zhan Zhao stood at the door of the house, looked at Lu Sen's back, and sighed a little unhappy.
In fact, he really wanted to hand over the essence of his family's martial arts to Lu Sen, but before he learned martial arts when he was young, he knelt in front of his ancestor's portrait and made a poisonous oath that the Zhan family's martial arts must not be passed on to the outside world.
Unlike Zhan Zhao who was depressed because he couldn't help his friends, Lu Sen was in a happier mood.
Although I couldn't get what I wanted from Zhan Zhao, I just solved my confusion.
He is not in a hurry There is no way to mobilize the inner qi, so he will practice the qi first and pile up the "quantity".
Anyway, I hold a lot of special resources in my hands, and there will always be "champions" who will be in trouble. At that time, I will exchange ideas with them with special materials. For example, a person from the world is injured and dying, and I will exchange a golden apple with him for inner strength. Fa, do you think it is possible?
That is naturally possible.
So Lu Sen is in no hurry.
He walked slowly towards the city gate, and when he passed a certain brothel, he saw a large crowd of people around the gate.
Many people are pointing fingers.
Lu Sen didn't want to watch, but he accidentally saw an acquaintance standing among the melon-eating crowd.
He walked over, patted the other person on the shoulder, and asked, "Brother Cao, why are you here?"
Cao You turned around, his face was pale, and even his body was trembling slightly.
