Chapter 198: There is a golden house in the book (please vote!!!)

"Why are you like my second uncle, who likes these things? It's very boring." Cheng Shaoshang said softly.

Cheng Shaoshang’s second aunt had always had a bad relationship with her mother Xiao Yuanyi, so she took revenge on Cheng Shaoshang and wanted to raise her to death, so that Cheng Shaoshang was almost six years old and had not yet started school. , and even developed a feeling of being tired of studying.

Qin Hao smiled and said, "There is a golden house in the book, so how could it be boring?"

Cheng Shaoshang's eyes lit up, and he looked at Qin Hao suspiciously, "In the book, there is a golden house." Why did you come to the Golden House? Don't lie to me. My second uncle has read many books, but he never came to the Golden House. He was scolded by his second uncle all day long."

Qin Hao sighed to himself, Cheng. Most of the money he sent back at the beginning was taken advantage of by his second roommate and sister-in-law. Cheng Shaoshang even ate a piece of candy as if it was Chinese New Year. No wonder he was more concerned about money.

"Have you read the Work Examination Notes?" Qin Hao asked.

Cheng Shaoshang shook his head when he heard this, "I don't even know a few words."

Qin Hao said seriously, "Then do you know how the candy you ate yesterday was made?"

Cheng Shaoshang shook his head again.

Qin Hao raised the bamboo slip in his hand, "Kao Gong Ji is a handicraft monograph from the Pre-Qin period. The full text is about 7,000 words, describing six major categories: woodworking, metalworking, leatherworking, dyeing, jadeworking, and pottery. , 30 types of work, it will tell you how to make and use axes, pounds, chisels, curved knives, and measuring instruments. As long as you learn one of them, you will be able to live and work. Isn't this a golden house?"

Cheng Shaoshang frowned when he heard this, "But my second aunt didn't let me go to elementary school, and I can't recognize those many words."

Qin Hao's heart moved. Cheng Cheng, the second roommate of the Cheng family, is a bit of a nerd. , but very knowledgeable. It just so happened that Qin Fang was looking for a mentor for him recently. Why not take this opportunity to study at the Cheng family, unlock more characters and scenes, and earn some luck points.

"Just wait, I will teach you when the time comes." Qin Hao said.

Cheng Shaoshang smiled happily and said sweetly, "Thank you, Brother Qin."

Suddenly there was a roar from the other side of the wall, "Cheng Shaoshang, what are you doing to make you unhappy?" Come down here."

Cheng Shaoshang's face immediately fell, he waved to Qin Hao, and then climbed down quickly.

Qin Hao couldn't help but shake his head. Cheng Shaoshang, the second aunt, was too ugly. She was not afraid of such a roar. Cheng Shaoshang fell down in panic. Perhaps, this was her purpose. This jealous woman put all her hatred for her sister-in-law Xiao Yuanyi on a little girl, and she deserved it when she was divorced later.

"You mean to ask the second master of the Cheng family next door to be your teacher?" Mrs. Qin Yuan was not happy when she heard it. The Cheng family used to be traffickers and lackeys. I heard that the second master of the Cheng family was still disabled. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to worship such a person as a teacher?

Qin Hao advised, "Mom, this second master of the Cheng family is very knowledgeable, and it is perfect to be the child's tutor. It also saves my father who is busy with official duties and has to worry about the child."

"Thank you, mother. "Qin Hao accompanied Qin Yuanshi and said some personal words. He made Qin Yuanshi very happy and kept saying that he was filial.

After Qin Fang came home, Qin Yuanshi said He explained the situation again.

Qin Fangzheng stretched out his hand to let the maid undress, then suddenly turned around and looked at his wife in surprise, "Haoer really said that."

"That's still false. , my son is the most filial. "Qin Yuan raised her chin proudly.

Qin Fang nodded, but said, "Although Hao'er is very filial, he can't be so hasty. Let's prepare a small gift and leave tomorrow. After visiting my home, I have to meet this Cheng Cheng first, so that I can safely hand over Haoer to him. ”

The Qin Yuan family quickly sent someone to prepare gifts. The reason was, of course, that the Qin family had just moved and wanted to say hello to their neighbors.

After the court meeting ended, Qin Fang brought Qin Yuan to the Cheng family.

He was immediately welcomed by everyone in the Cheng family, especially Mrs. Cheng. It was only a small gift for the Qin family, but for someone who was born in a rural area. Mrs. Cheng was dazzled by what she saw.

“Oh, Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin are so polite. Neighbors should take care of each other, and they still give so many gifts.” Mrs. Cheng smiled so hard that she couldn't even close her mouth.

The second wife, Mrs. Ge, was also beaming. There were several pieces of brocade in this gift list, and she and her daughter were able to make several beautiful clothes.

Qin Fang and Qin Yuan couldn't help shaking their heads secretly when they saw this. Mrs. Cheng's temperament was really a bit earthy. Such a mother can really teach a knowledgeable son

But since Even now, Qin Fang would not make a hasty conclusion. After looking around, he cupped his hands and said, "Old madam, I have always heard that the second master of your house is very knowledgeable, but I have no chance to meet him. I don't know."

Old Mrs. Cheng is a little embarrassed. Her second son has a disability in his legs and is the son she least likes to see. In addition, she has not had any children in the family in recent years, so she does not take this son seriously.

The second roommate Ge Shi was a little surprised when she heard this. The Qin family had just arrived in the capital and heard her husband’s name. Could it be that there was something extraordinary about her husband that she didn’t know

"Why don't you hurry up and invite the second master?" Ge Shi said quickly to the maid.

Originally, Cheng Cheng was reluctant to come out to meet guests. In ancient times, having a disability in the leg was looked down upon. , plus he is a bookworm himself and does not like this kind of social occasion.

He only came to the front hall reluctantly when his servants said that Ge insisted. >

Qin Fang saw that although Cheng Cheng had a disability in his legs, he had a bookish air about him, and he couldn't help but have a favorable impression of him.

When Ge Shi saw her husband coming in, she quickly reminded, "Husband, sir. This is Lord Nong Qin, the chief minister of the dynasty, and I don't want to be greeted quickly. ”

Cheng Cheng was also shocked when he heard this. He was familiar with poetry and books and naturally knew what kind of important official position Da Si Nong was.Gong Jiuqing's position as a minister is a position that many people can't even dream of.

"I have met Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin."

Qin Fangxu helped him and said with a smile, "No need to be polite, I have long heard that Mr. I am happy, but I have a question in my mind, but I don’t know if the second master can answer the question."

Cheng Cheng was a little surprised. This was because he wanted to ask him for advice. But for a bookworm who has not communicated with the outside world for many years, this It was also a rare opportunity. After being humble, I listened to Qin Fang.

"Guo Qi will perish because I have heard that the country will prosper and listen to the people; when it is about to perish, listen to the gods. Gods are wise, upright and one person, and they act according to people. Guo has many cool virtues, and its How can we get this land?"

"Sir, do you think so?"

This passage comes from Zuo's biography of the Spring and Autumn Period, which actually means that Duke Guo sent Zhu Ying, Zongqu, and Shi Xi to Sacrifice. The gods promised to give him territory and fields. Shi Lao said: I am afraid that the Guo Kingdom will perish. I heard that when a country is about to rise, it must listen to the people; when it is about to perish, it must listen to the gods. Gods are intelligent, upright and single-minded, and act according to different people. There are so many evil virtues and bad things in the Guo country, how can we get the land?"

Cheng Cheng said seriously after hearing the words, "However, the Analects of Confucius said that there is no talk about strange power and chaos. A gentleman should keep the right path at heart, and the emperor should do the same. , The country will naturally prosper by following the will of the people. If you listen to the words of ghosts and gods and forget the will of the people, the country will not be destroyed. How can it not be destroyed?"

Qin Fang laughed when he heard this and handed over to Cheng Cheng, "Sir, you are really talented. In fact, I have one more unkind invitation to come here today, and I hope you will grant it.

Cheng Cheng was stunned for a moment, and quickly stood up with the help of his servants. "Master Qin said something serious, but with this broken body, I'm afraid he has failed to live up to his trust." ”

To be honest, Cheng Cheng was a little touched. This was the first time he had been treated with such courtesy in so many years, but he was still not confident.

Qin Fang stepped forward. He supported Cheng Chenglang and said with a smile, "Sir, please don't be too humble. I have taken the liberty to come here today. In fact, there is a naughty boy in the family, but he is also very talented, so I want to find a good teacher with him and ask him to accept him." ”

When the second wife Ge Shi heard this, she quickly winked at her husband. This is a great thing. What kind of family is the Qin family? Many people can’t climb it. Cheng Cheng becomes the son of the Qin family. Isn't this a close relationship? She can have more bragging rights in the future.

When Mrs. Cheng heard this, she also thought it was a good thing. Isn't it just teaching a child to read? What's more, establishing a relationship with the Qin family is real.

Cheng Cheng was a little hesitant: "This is not to shirk, but it is actually because I have never taught students. I'm afraid it will delay your noble master."

Qin Fang waved his hand, "Well, I am worried that it would be too unfair to teach a naughty boy with Mr. Cheng's knowledge, so I still ask Mr. Cheng to help you." ”

In the end, with the help of Mrs. Cheng and Ge, Cheng Cheng agreed.

After Qin Fang left with Qin Yuan, Ge was so excited that he rubbed his hands. Even the way she looked at her husband was no longer as disgusting as before.

Back in her yard, Ge Shi even called her daughter Cheng Shu.He came to the door and told him, "Tomorrow, the young master of the Qin family next door will come to study at home. Please be closer to him in the future."

Poor Cheng Shu was only six years old. How could he understand his mother's thoughts? She looked at him blankly. she.

When Ge Shi saw it, he became very angry. He poked his daughter on the forehead, "You look just like your father. I'm so angry. What a great opportunity. In the future, if you marry into a noble family like the Qin family, your mother will also be able to take advantage of you, understand?"

Cheng Shu could only lower her head in grievance. She had been afraid of her mother since she was a child.

On the other side, the servants at home also started talking.

“Tsk, tsk, this Qin family is indeed a wealthy family. Today’s meeting gift is so generous. It’s really incredible.”

“Isn’t that right? I heard that there will be gifts for apprenticeship tomorrow. , I don’t know what kind of rare treasure it is.”

Cheng Shaoshang thought of what Qin Hao had told her before, and couldn’t help but wonder if what he said was true.

Turn around. Qin Fang still had to go to work, so Qin Yuan came to visit again with Qin Hao and gave him a generous gift as a gift. Cheng Cheng was very excited about several bamboo slips among them. They were all Qin's collection. The outside world was What can't be found can be regarded as a little bit of Qin Fang's thoughts.

The silks, satins and lacquerware treasures dazzled Mrs. Cheng and Mr. Ge, but in the end these things were all eaten up by Mrs. Cheng, making Mr. Ge angry and cursed the old man in his heart. brave troops.

"I've met you, sir." Qin Hao also bowed respectfully to Cheng Cheng.

Cheng Cheng saw that although Qin Hao was young, he behaved in a grand manner. He couldn't help but nodded secretly, thinking that he was worthy of being the legitimate son of a noble family.

Just as Cheng Cheng was preparing to go to class, he suddenly heard a burst of noise outside the courtyard and the sound of Ge's filial piety.

Soon the study door was pushed open, Cheng Shaoshang stumbled in, and Ge Shi cursed angrily behind him.

"Cheng Shaoshang, please come out quickly. If you keep fooling around, see if I don't peel off your skin."

Cheng Shaoshang frowned and said, "Since the second uncle has started teaching, why?" I can't come and listen."

Ge's family wondered, didn't this girl get dizzy before when she heard reading and practicing calligraphy? What happened today?

"You are a little girl. "What are you doing to learn those lessons? It has delayed the noble people from listening to the lectures. Even if your mother comes back, she won't be able to protect you." Second uncle, don't you think so?"

Cheng Cheng also felt a little sorry for his niece's experience, and said softly, "Why don't you let Niao Niao listen to it?"

Ge Shi. Just as he was about to retort, Qin Hao took the opportunity to say, "Sir, it's strange that the classroom is deserted with just us and Sanniang. It would be more lively if there are more people."

Cheng Cheng then said to Ge, "Since Niao Niao has aspirations Studying is a good thing, why bother to restrain her? This class has been delayed for some time."

Ge Shi glanced at Qin Hao reluctantly before leaving.

Cheng Shaoshang sat down next to Qin Hao proudly.He laughed softly and said, "I must be smart."

Qin Hao was happy, "Smart, I was just trying to find a reason for you to enroll in school, but you found the opportunity yourself."

"Oh." Cheng Shaoshang pursed his lips and sat upright obediently.

Cheng Cheng told Qin Hao and Cheng Shu the Analects of Confucius. Seeing that Cheng Shaoshang was confused after listening to it, he got her some small bamboo tablets for literacy and taught her how to read.

Cheng Shaoshang focused on what Qin Hao said about the golden house in the book, so he studied seriously. Coupled with his talent, he quickly learned the characters of the Xiaozhu brand.

Cheng Cheng was a little surprised, "Niao Niao has inherited my sister-in-law's intelligence, and she knows everything."

Cheng Shaoshang tilted his head and asked Cheng Cheng a question, "Second uncle, father and mother." Do you really not want me?"

Cheng Cheng looked a little embarrassed. Seeing his niece's confused and sensitive look, he felt distressed and said, "It's nonsense. How can there be parents in this world who don't want their own children? My brother and sister-in-law were out fighting the enemy and quelling the chaos, so they left Niao Niao at home."

Cheng Shaoshang then smiled and said, "That's it, thank you, second uncle."

But Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi missed Cheng Shaoshang’s entire childhood. This lack of relationship cannot be repaired.

For more than a month in the next month, Qin Hao would go to Cheng’s house for classes basically every day. Cheng Cheng also found that Qin Hao could no longer be described as smart. Both his memory and understanding abilities were far superior to those of his peers. , calligraphy is also progressing visibly to the naked eye.

But Cheng Cheng didn't know that this was the result of Qin Hao's efforts to suppress it. If he wrote with his right hand, Cheng Cheng would probably call him a monster.

Through this period of study, Cheng Shaoshang finally got rid of the embarrassing situation of illiteracy, kept up with Cheng Cheng's teaching progress, and began to learn the Analects of Confucius.

Cheng Shu's progress is not as obvious as Cheng Shaoshang's. It's not that she is inferior in talent, but she already has a certain foundation, but her progress is not as fast as Cheng Shaoshang's, which also makes her work harder. , this little girl, although she looks weak and weak, is actually quite competitive.

During this period, Qin Fang had been performing his duties for more than a month. He gradually understood the situation in the DPRK and no longer had to walk on thin ice as before.

The number of banquets received also increased. Sometimes Qin Fang would bring Qin Hao to attend the banquets. Qin Hao's performance at these banquets also won him some praise.

Don’t underestimate these praises. This is the beginning of raising hopes. The so-called fame is actually to a large extent that everyone praises each other.

Of course, there are conditions for flattery. Everyone cherishes their feathers. If they really have poor qualifications, no one will take the risk of degrading themselves.It's hard to boast, only people like Qin Hao who have some real materials can make people publicize without any scruples.

After a series of "praisings", Qin Hao became a well-known young gentleman in the capital at a young age. Although it is still a little early to talk about marriage at this age, many people are already talking about it. Got his idea.

For more than a month, in addition to pretending to be a child and attending classes, Qin Hao also devoted himself to improving the living environment of Qin Mansion.

The most important thing is diet. The diet of the Han Dynasty simply drove him crazy.

In fact, the seasonings during the Han Dynasty were not expensive. Salt, vinegar, soy sauce, onions, ginger, and peppercorns were all available for a long time, but the production process was flawed.

Qin Hao improved some techniques, including salt and vinegar.

The salt of the Han Dynasty basically came from salt wells. King Liu Bi of Wu and King Liu An of Huainan both relied on the mountains to boil salt and cast money. The accumulated wealth gave them the capital to rebel. Later, salt and iron became However, the salt well mining technology in the Han Dynasty was not mature, and the salt produced had many impurities and even had a bitter taste, which was completely different from the snow-white salt later.

Qin Hao’s method is to process the original coarse salt through heating, charcoal filtration, condensation and other processes to remove the original impurities and make snow salt.

At first, Qin Hao just wanted to improve his life and save his taste buds. Later, when Qin Fang saw the snowflake salt by chance, he was immediately amazed. Later, he learned that this method can be applied to all kinds of food. After Qin Fang experimented with extracting edible salt from salt mines, he found that it was indeed feasible, so he pulled Emperor Wen out of bed that night.

Emperor Wen originally looked at Qin Fang full of resentment, but when he told Emperor Wen a portion of snowflake salt and the method of extracting edible salt from salt mines, Emperor Wen was immediately delighted.

"Qin Aiqing, who thought of this method? I want to reward him heavily."

When Qin Fang said that his six-year-old son came up with it, Emperor Wen suddenly became suspicious. Did this guy buy the formula to make his son famous?

It wasn’t until Qin Fang swore to the ancestors of the Qin family that Emperor Wen believed it and summoned Qin Hao. When he learned that Qin Hao came up with the idea of ​​improving the salt-making process because of his appetite, he was a little bit dumbfounded.

"Qin Aiqing's recipe has benefited the people, so let's make him a Marquis of Guan Nei."

After all, Qin Hao is too young, and it is not realistic to be given an official position, and the title is not suitable, so this reward is It fell on Qin Fang.

Qin Fang himself did not expect that he would take advantage of his six-year-old son.

When Emperor Wen saw that Qin Hao was handsome and upright, he said, "Let your son come to the palace to be a companion." Please remember to bookmark it, the latest and fastest website for free reading without anti-theft
