The sordid past is not worthy of praise, but now the dissolute thoughts have no limit. The spring breeze is so proud that the horse's hooves are so bad that I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.

This poem written by Meng Jiao in the middle age of the Tang Dynasty is probably enough to describe Lu Sanlang's proud mood at this moment. Although he did not pass the Jinshi examination, and it is probably impossible for him to take the Jinshi examination in this life, however, he just graduated from the palace.

It was delivered to him, and he didn't know why the decree spread like wildfire so quickly, but it was enough to make him proud of many Jinshi.

Because from now on, he, the third son of Lu, Lu Zhu, has gloriously become the Prince's Attendant (seventh grade)!

That's right, unlike what he heard from Zhang Shou, the six people who were about to be selected by the Jiuzhang Hall supervisors, he had his own grade!

In the emperor's original words, he even listed his achievements, which are nothing more than that as the first chief of the church, he managed Jiuzhangtang well, and he also made outstanding contributions in unlocking the secret box of Taizu. In addition to

In addition, he also combined other miscellaneous achievements, including his role in capturing a thief in Cuiyun Room a year ago - although he couldn't help but blush after hearing this.

Therefore, Lu Sanlang, who was blocked by people at the door of his bookshop, was smiling and proud. When he heard others asking him to teach him arithmetic experience, he even said sincerely: "I have suffered a lot since childhood.

After reading "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" and later meeting a talented person like the teacher, I discovered my talent. However, there are roads in the mountain of books and diligence is the path, and there is no limit to the sea of ​​learning and hard work is the boat."

"Do you know how much homework Jiuzhangtang has?"

After asking with a serious face, Lu Sanlang saw some people in the audience booing, some saying they didn't know, and others yelling and urging him to speak quickly. He clapped his hands and saw a few guys behind him move out a pile of books.

Then he took a step back, patted the tall pile of books, and said with emotion: "Others say that I have given many lessons to teachers, but they only see my glory."

"But they didn't see how many exercises I had done in advance that the teacher had assigned me! These were all exercises I had done, and I had printed out all the exercise books I had accumulated, one with exercises and the other with answers. If

If you are just joining in the fun, I suggest you buy an exercise booklet and have a good feel for the difficulty and hard work of Jiuzhangtang. Don’t waste your money."

"But if you are really interested in applying for Jiuzhangtang, I think many people have heard the teacher once said that people with excellent grades can skip a grade. But for people with average basic skills to skip a grade, it is simply difficult. But

If you don't skip the grade, you will certainly enter Jiuzhang Hall, but if you want to achieve more ambitious goals, don't even think about it."

Speaking of this, Lu Sanlang paused for a moment. Seeing that the people in the circle were silent, he knew that these people must have understood what he meant - how could he be classmates with the third prince without skipping a grade... No,

To serve as a pupil to the future prince?

"If you want to skip a grade, you don't just need to read through the Nine Chapters of Arithmetic. First, you have to read Master Ge's new arithmetic compilation, but it is different from the Nine Chapters of arithmetic. It is a step-by-step system, and you need to get used to the new arithmetic."

Symbols, accept new concepts, you need to read the teacher's handouts carefully, then do the exercises and answer the answers. This is the official way to apply for Jiuzhangtang..."

Seeing Lu Sanlang eloquent and eloquent, Chief Hong Shan stood there with a gloomy expression. He endured it again and again before he restrained the urge to speak harshly and accuse the other party. For him, this was simply extraordinary endurance.

He even called a roadside helper after Lu Sanlang finished selling those books, and asked him to come over and buy a collection of exercises and handouts for him. As a result, after receiving the two thick volumes, he flipped through several

After reading the exercises on the page, he felt his temples pounding. When he looked at the lecture notes that were said to be Zhang Shou's lectures, he suddenly remembered the time Zhang Shou lectured at the Imperial College.

That time, he really scoffed at Zhang Shou's foreign history.

As for the essentials of arithmetic that Zhang Shou talked about next, he was confused. But listening to others' lectures was different from reading at this time. He always prided himself on being knowledgeable, and now he looked at the symbols and symbols that looked like ghostly drawings.

Graphics, he subconsciously wanted to scold Qiqi for being obscene and ingenious, but as he spoke, he saw Lu Sanlang who was enthusiastically sharing the life of Jiuzhangtang with others, but in the end he just walked away.

Chief Hong Shan thought that it was impossible for Lu Sanlang to see him because he was surrounded by so many people. However, Lu Sanlang was a man who had an eye for all directions and an ear for all directions. In fact, he noticed right away that he didn't look like he was just watching the fun.

Therefore, he didn't notice at all that there was a little tail on his back as he rushed back angrily.

After sending people to follow Chief Hong Shan just in case, Lu Sanlang ignored this guy for the time being and continued his sales plan. Because the third prince was about to be promoted to the crown prince, Jiuzhangtang was originally unpopular from the beginning.

Nowadays, the new edition of Gurdjieff's arithmetic is in hot demand and is urgently being printed, so this wave of his personal promotion is naturally very effective.

In less than half an hour, all the lecture notes and exercise books that had just been taken out were swept away. So when a new group of scholars came after hearing the news, they were faced with empty bookshelves.

In response to this, Lu Sanlang hurriedly assured others that Zhang Shou's lecture notes were printed by the emperor himself, so there would definitely be no shortage. This is just because the palace's Ceremony Supervisory Factory is still urgently printing more copies.

, and persuaded all the disappointed readers to go back. As for those who wanted to buy exercise books, he also told them one by one that he would rush to print out fifty volumes tomorrow, so please hurry up.

Seeing that his bookstore had changed from a bustling place with a bustling crowd to a deserted place with no one paying attention, the steward who was in charge of this place suddenly stepped forward in confusion and asked: "Third Young Master, why did you tell them that there is no more? In this warehouse...

…”

Before anyone could finish speaking, Lu Sanlang glared at him fiercely: "Do you know what it means to not get what you want?"

Seeing that the steward had some enlightenment, he said angrily: "As the saying goes, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and stealing is not as good as not being able to steal..."

He didn't care how shocking his vulgar metaphor was, and said lightly: "Just like these scholars, if Jiuzhang Hall had always opened its enrollment and tried its best to recruit them, they would have been arrogant and refused to go. Thanks to the teacher who has always

They all have high standards and strict requirements. They would rather not find people than make up for it, so they can only maintain a class so they can't find anyone."

"Nowadays, so many people are rushing to go to the future Crown Prince. Although they are indeed eager for quick success, there may be a few talented people. However, we cannot coddle them. At this time, we must let others beg for them in turn.

us."

The steward was so confused by Lu Sanlang's simple and clear truth that he had to carefully remind him: "But, Master, there is a chance that people from other bookshops may be among the people who come to buy books. What if they also secretly print them?"

…”

"Haha." This time, Lu Sanlang showed a very warm smile, but people who are familiar with him know that when this kind of smile appears on the face of the Third Young Master, it is not a guarantee, but someone is definitely going to be unlucky.

"Zhang Chen and the others are staying in the capital because they have to attend the wedding of Mr. Zhu and Mr. Zhu. Seeing that Mr. Zhu is about to become the master of the East Palace, whoever pirates these things will be in trouble with him.

Can’t make it? I’ve said it before, and I won’t take a penny from the profits from printing these books!”

"Give them all to the teacher, as a wedding gift to him! So, starting from today, their manpower has been scattered all over the city. One is to see if anyone is too old to make trouble, and the other is to inquire if there is any disadvantage.

The news of the incident, well... everyone is looking for a suitable gift, who can be like me, who can just print a few books and solve the problem!"

When he got into the car with high spirits under the admiring eyes of the steward, Lu Sanlang immediately let out a long sigh of relief, then clenched his fists and twisted his butt excitedly. He was ten times more proud than in front of others?

Fortunately, there was no one else at this time, and the thick curtains completely blocked his ecstatic state. Only the horse pulling the carriage slowly moved forward, feeling the heavy fat man in the carriage behind him twisting his body, which added to his excitement.

some resistance.

When the carriage stopped in front of the gate of Lu's house, Lu Sanlang was about to lift the curtain and get out of the car, but he only heard a respectful voice from outside: "Welcome the third young master back to the house."

Lu Sanlang was stunned when he saw that the car curtains were being raised high from outside, and the cold wind blowing in were faces with infinite smiles. He saw at least ten people lined up at the door to welcome him.

Among the seven or eight servants, he didn't have the pleasure of not bullying the poor young man and saying that I was a hero, but he was murmuring in his heart.

Although the servants of the Lu family do have the problem of looking at what others are doing, most of them follow his two brothers, and more people look down on him, but they are not so arrogant and superficial to the point of exaggeratedly following others.

?

After calmly getting out of the car, he got an unexpected and reasonable answer.

"My wife said that now that you have an official position and family background, Third Young Master, you should be in a good position, so she ordered everyone who has nothing to do at home to come out and line up to greet the young master. When the master comes back, the madam will ask for ancestor worship, so that he can pay homage to his ancestors."

The ancestors report your current achievements, young master, and give you a sigh of relief."

As expected of his own mother, this is the one who is truly happy for him! This is the right thing to do. Walking in brocade clothes at night, how does that feel?

Lu Sanlang was so excited that he felt very excited. He immediately rushed to his mother's place without even thinking about it. His small and attentive attitude was exactly the same as when he made mistakes in the past and went to please his mother for fear of being beaten by his father. Mrs. Lu originally

I just love my fat son so much, and now that he is proud of others, he still puts himself first, which makes him really happy.

Therefore, Erlang, the eldest son of the Lu family, who came back in the evening, experienced for the first time in his life the dilemma of his mother using Lu Sanlang to attack them. Normally, they could still count on their father to come out and speak to them, but today, he always spoke to them.

Lu Wan didn't even say a word, and the two of them could only be scolded by their mother.

At this time, the little fat man was completely naked inside and out, and he was extremely proud. After finishing the meal, he was taken to the study by his father to discuss important matters. He even made a face at his two brothers, and when he saw them

Only when the man's face turned pale did he walk away.

Lu Wan didn't care about the overt and covert fighting between his three sons. As soon as he returned to the study, he said bluntly: "Isn't your teacher sure yet? Whether he can move Jiuzhangtang to a public school."

Come?"

"It's definitely possible." Lu Sanlang smiled playfully, and then said sincerely, "But you can't be too hasty. You know, the Imperial Academy's Da Sicheng and Shao Sicheng were already frightened because of the teacher's previous words.

Among the academic officials, I am united and even planning to use Taizu's old system to compete with the teacher who insists on doing so."

Seeing Lu Wan's forehead wrinkled into a big pimple, Little Fatty Lu chuckled and said: "But now that they know how to release Jiuzhangtang, the status of the Imperial College will be lowered in three seconds, but others will not

I think so. Those academic officers in the Doctoral Hall have been dissatisfied with the teacher for a day or two. As long as they put in a little effort, it will be easy for Jiuzhangtang to get out of the Imperial College."

Lu Wan glanced at her youngest son, whom she had never liked before, and felt that she was really blind in the past.

Why does such a talented, scheming, and profitable son feel like he has no future?

He simply dropped the topic and said bluntly: "You are about to go to the East Palace to study. Do you know what you should do?"

"Of course I know. Isn't it just a matter of changing places to help the teacher teach?" Lu Sanlang spit out such an answer nonchalantly. Seeing that Lu Wan almost raised his eyebrows in anger at him, he quickly said with a playful smile, "Dad, you just

Don't worry, I know this well. The teacher won't give up on the other, so I will inevitably have to work harder."

"When the teacher didn't make it clear, I filled in the gaps, and when the teacher couldn't help with the exercises, I helped with the exercises. Fortunately, I wasn't the only one. Senior Brother Qi came back later, and he has to be one of them."

Lu Wan was very dissatisfied with Lu Sanlang's nonchalant attitude. She was about to say that Lu Sanlang had many opponents and should not be ignored, but she was choked by her son and was speechless: "Dad, I'm still young, so I can't guard against this."

Beware of that! Senior Brother Qi is a sincere person, not to mention his foundation is better than mine and he has been working in Xuanda University for so long."

"He and Deng Xiaodai are actually the teacher's eldest disciples. It is a good habit to respect our seniors. Otherwise, how could the third prince respect me?"

Lu Wan only felt that she had made a huge mistake by talking to Lu Sanlang. If she continued talking, she would be angry to death. She could only scold him angrily: "Okay, now that your wings are strong, you can do whatever you want! Go, go, go, you are the only one."

Virtue, I don’t know how many days I will be able to serve as the Eastern Palace Attendant, so don’t get carried away! The more a person is complacent, the easier it is for someone to plot against him!”

Lu Sanlang originally didn't like to hear Lu Wan's cold words, but when he heard the last sentence, he suddenly stopped as he was going out. He chuckled and said calmly: "I am very proud and happy, but

I know where the current scenery comes from, so I won’t get carried away. Dad, you don’t have to worry about me. My biggest wish now is to take advantage of this rare opportunity to make a lot of money."

"By the way, there will be a new play by Tingyu Xiaozhu tomorrow. Dad, you are always romantic, so remember to go and support it." When she heard this, Lu Wan subconsciously grabbed a brush and threw it at Lu Sanlang's back.
Chapter completed!
