Chapter 48

Besides, Shen Lang managed to create an image in the eyes of his mother-in-law who forgives my bohemian love and freedom. Now, just because of a Xu Wenzhao, I am going to ask her for mercy, so my Shen Lang's character will be ruined.

This Xu Wenzhao is also a distant relative of his mother-in-law. If Shen Lang asks her for mercy, wouldn't it make it difficult for her?

How can leadership be made difficult? 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 come.

"You haven't run yet?" Jin Mucong said, "Then you will be beaten later, but no one can save you."

Sure enough, just a moment later, there were hurried footsteps outside.

"Lord Count, I can't teach this book. I have never seen such an uneducated person."

Xu Wenzhao's voice reached everyone's ears from a long distance.

There were more than a dozen students present, all sitting neatly, with excited eyes and anticipation.

They are waiting to see a play.

"The most important thing in my Dayan Dynasty is Tiandijun's parents and teachers, and Shen Lang is unscrupulous and has no respect for his superiors." Xu Wenzhao said sharply: "His behavior in the youngest is bad for his classmates. It is an unforgivable sin for destroying the Earl's Mansion family style, please punish the Earl, otherwise everyone will follow the example, and the study style of 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 sway me? Let me get into the next big disaster and get kicked out of the Earl's House.

Even if I was slapped thirty lashes today by the Count, you will at most just let out a bad breath, and it will not help you at all.

Lord Earl came to Shen Lang and said coldly: "What's the matter? You are just being reckless outside, why are you acting so recklessly at home?"

After all, he couldn't help but hold the whip in his hand.

He is conservative and old-fashioned. Once there is a conflict between students and teachers, it must be the fault of the students.

Jin Mucong didn't know how many times he was beaten before. As long as the teacher complained, he would definitely be beaten.

Therefore, this fat man was too cowardly in front of the teacher.

Lord Earl said: "Shen Lang, if you can't say why today, don't blame me for being ruthless."

These thirty whips, it seems that it is difficult to escape.

Shen Lang said: "Father-in-law, did my son-in-law do anything wrong?"

"Lord Count, you can see that he has not repented until now. There is no cure." Xu Wenzhao sneered.

Shen Lang said: "Excuse me, Mr. Xu, can I talk to each other 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 the teacher and respect the Tao?"

Xu Wenzhao said: "When I was lecturing, your soul was flying out of the sky. This is disrespecting the teacher. Gentlemen have worked hard to teach you your knowledge, but you deserted. Isn't this tarnishing the style of study?"

"There is no arithmetic in the imperial examinations, so why do we still focus on studying in the Earl's House?" Shen Lang said: "The six arts of a gentleman are ritual, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and arithmetic. After learning arithmetic, you can understand the economy and people's livelihood, and you can understand everything in the world. The changes. We attach importance to arithmetic, and it is entirely the Count’s foresight and foresight.”

This flickering made the count's expression a lot lighter.

Although my son-in-law is naughty, he still understands my heart very well.

Shen Langdao: "Mr. Xu taught us the way of arithmetic. I respect it very much in my heart, and I don't have any thoughts of disrespecting teachers and respecting the way."

Xu Wenzhao said, "I'm in class, and you're distracted, and you even say you respect me? Shameless, nonsense."

Shen Lang said: "Mr. Xu, because what you teach is relatively simple, I have learned it. If you pretend to listen carefully, it is not a waste of time, and that is the greatest disrespect to you. Therefore, according to the content of your lecture, I will Extending in the brain to explore deeper arithmetic, this is the purpose of learning, and this is the real respect for teachers."

my day.

The dozen or so students around were stunned.

You Shen Lang really know how to fool, but why do I know you are talking nonsense, but still think it makes sense?

"Hahahaha..." Xu Wenzhao laughed loudly: "The arithmetic I teach is simple?"

Shen Lang said sincerely: "Yes, it's too simple."

Xu Wenzhao said, "You can master the arithmetic I teach?"

Shen Lang said more sincerely: "It's more than enough, just do whatever you want and use it in your heart."

Xu Wenzhao laughed again, and said, "You stinky child, you have been studying in Hanshui Town Academy for ten years, you haven't even finished reading "University", you have never been exposed to arithmetic, and you say that you can master what I teach you, really It's ridiculous to speak out loud."

Regarding this point, Xu Wenzhao really has absolute certainty.

Although arithmetic is called one of the six arts of the gentleman, after all, the civil and military examinations were not examined, so there are not many people who learn it.

And the school where Shen Lang lives, even their teachers don't know how.

The people in Xuanwu City who are proficient in arithmetic can count with both hands, and he, Xu Wenzhao, is the best among them.

Other things can also be taught by oneself, such as arithmetic, if there is no teacher to teach you, you can't even get started.

Therefore, Shen Lang is so stupid that he can say whatever he says.

Then Xu Wenzhao said: "Since you said that you are good at it, then I will give you ten questions. If you answer three questions correctly, it will prove that you are indeed good at what I taught you, and I will not punish you."

"If you don't answer three questions incorrectly, you will be whipped thirty."

"And if you can't answer all of them correctly, it means that you don't know arithmetic at all, but you are just lying, and you are so unrighteous, and you can whip a hundred times, how about it?"

As soon as these words came out, the earl frowned.

He felt that Xu Wenzhao had gone a bit too far, and couldn't help but say, "Shen Lang, you apologize to Mr. Xu. This is the end of the matter. Don't be distracted in class in the future."

Well, my father-in-law still loves me.

And the prince next to him, Jin Mucong, was surprised. Father, you are not like this. You are so cruel to me. As soon as the teacher complains, you will beat me.

How could it be Shen Lang's turn, all he needs to do is apologize?

The Count 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 chosen 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 was in a hurry, just apologizing is not enough. Today, Shen Lang must be punished properly, and the bad anger in his heart will come out.

When he came home yesterday, he was also scolded by his wife and sister, saying that he was in vain as the confidant of the Count, and that Wang Lian was defeated by a waste.

Immediately, Xu Wenzhao said: "Lord Earl, if you just apologize, you will be fine. In the future, every student will follow suit. Isn't my style of study in the Earl's Mansion completely ruined?"

Shen Lang suddenly said: "As long as I answer three questions correctly, I will be fine, right?"

"Yes." Xu Wenzhao said: "You only need to answer three questions correctly to prove that you really know what I said in class."

Shen Lang said: "What if I get all ten questions right?"

"Impossible, young people should stop daydreaming." Xu Wenzhao said: "Arithmetic is broad and profound. You are a stinky child, and it is difficult to see the door in your life. Don't say ten correct answers, even if you answer five correct, it means you are really proficient. I don't need to teach you this way, I will publicly apologize to you."

"A word is settled." Shen Lang bowed and said, "Father-in-law testifies, the old master testifies, and all the students present testify."

Lord Earl was about to scold Shen Lang for his nonsense.

As a result, the old master who taught the "Book of Changes" behind him said with a smile: "Okay, the old man testifies."

This old master is over seventy years old. He is not only the teacher of Jin Mucong, but also the teacher of his Lord Earl. Since he opened his mouth, Lord Earl could not refuse.

"Hmph." Lord Earl glared at Shen Lang and said, "I'm so arrogant, I'm going to be punished later, I'm going to blame me, don't cry."

Xu Wenzhao said, "Since I'm a teacher, let me punish myself."

He was worried that the count would be too light, so he had to do it himself, at least beat Shen Lang to half death.

The Count wants to open his mouth to refuse.

But Shen Lang bowed and said, "Mr. Xu, please ask the question."

"Humph!" The count was unhappy.

You, Shen Lang, don't know if you want to die, you can do whatever you want.

I know you have an excellent memory, but arithmetic has not been soaked in for a few years, and you can't learn anything at all.

Xu Wenzhao is so skilled in arithmetic that you are completely hitting the stone with the egg when you compete with him.

...

Xu Wenzhao was proud, and immediately returned to his desk, and began to meditate on the question.

Of course, he will come up with the most difficult questions, and it is best that Shen Lang can't do any of them.

That way, Shen Lang could be whipped a hundred times, and he could be beaten to death.

Of course Xu Wenzhao knew that, in fact, the earl's heart was deliberately partial to Shen Lang. If he really flogged Shen Lang a hundred times, the earl would only be unhappy in his heart.

But so what? His Xu Wenzhao's future in this life has come to an end, where does he need to swallow his voice?

Moreover, the accounts of the entire Earl's Mansion are under his control. It is the Earl that cannot leave him, not Xu Wenzhao who cannot leave the Earl's Mansion.

Therefore, he had no fear.

For half an hour, Xu Wenzhao completely racked his brains and exhausted what 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 thing.

Not only the students present, there were not many people in the entire Xuanwu City who could answer the first question correctly.

However, this is just the easiest one.

The question behind is simply unbelievable.

There are a few topics that he has read from ancient arithmetic books. Ordinary people don't say they can't do it, they can't even read it.

For something as inexperienced as Shen Lang, it is unprecedented to be able to answer a question correctly.

Xu Wenzhao could almost imagine the situation when he whipped Shen Lang.

He put the ten questions directly in front of Shen Lang and said: "Remember, if you answer three questions correctly, I will not pursue it, otherwise I will be whipped thirty; if one question is wrong, then I will be whipped a hundred!"

"Today, I will teach you what is respecting teachers and respecting the Tao, and what is the Tao of arithmetic."

Xu Wenzhao slandered in his heart: "Young man, don't think that you can do whatever you want when you are handsome. You are still a little tender when you fight with me, and you will be beaten to death in a while."
