Fall In Love with the Technology Tree

The spring rain is like crispy, pattering. The sun in March was shrouded in a misty rain. Looking out from the window, the green mountains and dark green water in the distance seem to be covered with a layer of white gauze that seems to be invisible. The rainwater slides down the tiles, beating on the bluestone steps like a string of beads, playing a tune that you never tire of listening to.

Asheng leaned against the dripping window sill and looked at the water vapor outside. She didn't wear a hat and crown today, and only wrapped her hair with a blue cloth, which looked like the hairstyle of an ordinary peasant.

Luo Chi came over and put a robe on her. "It's a bit chilly today, and the master is weak, so be careful." She was still the one who likes to talk and laugh. After helping Ah Sheng get dressed, she sat down on a low stool next to her and started sewing.

"Xuzhou is said to be rich, but I think it's just a few years of peace and starvation." Luo Chi nags while performing needles, "Just like this Yangdu County, it's the same as the original It's like Daxian County, it can't be broken."

A Sheng did not speak, only tilted his head and smiled.

He raised his head and showed a slightly ingratiating smile, "When the lord is done with the mess in Xuzhou, let's go back to Dalian, shall we? The students of Dalian Middle School said that since the lord built Xuxian School, his heart has grown eccentric. ."

A Sheng, who is recovering from injury, is very good at speaking: "Okay."

"There is also Goro from Jiaozhou, who also invited the master to heal his wounds. Mining in the South Island, a new hot spring was dug up. The Fire Lady likes it very much, and she stays in the South Island all day and doesn't want to leave. She It is also the age of Kaimeng, and Goro wants to ask the master to get a charter."

Daughter Kaimeng, do you want to do it as a big event? This is in the Eastern Han Dynasty more than ten years ago, I am afraid it is unbelievable.

"Ayu is also slowly...politically mature."

"Who said no." Luo Chi knotted the end of the thread and cut it short. A carp has been exposed on the cloth, and the red scales like a streamer, although small, are very expressive. "Even though Goro is a little mediocre, he really didn't do anything wrong."

A Sheng's eyes moved, and he looked away from the raindrops outside the window: "Did he say anything else?"

" Wulang said that if the owner did not give a hint, he would take the Liuhuo sisters and brothers to the Sainan Island elementary school to read with the children of the Li nationality. Wulang said that he was a third-year student, at that time , classmates are still nominal slaves; today’s students are free people after all, and the courses they study are much better than those of the past. The Nandao School has complete teachers and the top three in the country. Ah Sheng learns his tongue, with a smile in his words, which makes people smile.

"He's right." As Sheng raised his hand, Luo Chi willingly put down the needle and thread in his hand and handed her a hot teapot. Ah Sheng took a sip of hot water while holding the pot, and then let out a long breath: "There are complaints in Dalian Academy, and Nandao Academy has dropped from the first to the top three. Are there any complaints?"

"The head of the Nandao Academy is Duke Zheng, and the master of his temper knows it. He despises these conflicts of temperament outside of knowledge. But Duke Zheng said, or next year, or the year after, He wants to bring students to Xu County for exchange and study."

A Sheng closed his eyes relaxedly: "There is Mr. Zheng in the Nandao Academy, it is really like a needle in the sea. As long as Cai Yong and Zheng Xuan can live a few more years, I will be able to relax a lot. In contrast, Dalian Academy still lacks an elder who is academically open and upright.”

Luo Chi put the fabric and needle and thread into the basket and stood up solemnly. "It's too late to recommend someone."

A Sheng also opened his eyes and sat up straight. "Speaking."

"Bing Yuan, Wang Lie, and Guan Ning from Qingzhou have been guest lecturers in Dalian for four years, and their character and reputation are not a problem. Do you need to choose an alternative for offering wine?"

A Sheng was silent for about three seconds before slowly opening his mouth: "These three are famous people. Wang Lie's persuasion of robbers and Guan Ning's cutting of seats are all allusions between Qingliu, but I don't like Wang Lie's style of acting on the basis of human affection[Note 1]. Guan Ning's tendency to live in seclusion is too serious, and I'm afraid he is not a suitable candidate. I can't make such a big decision based on rumors alone."

Luo Chi bowed: "Personnel transfer is the master's power. If there is no recommendation, it will be appointed."

"The appointment of officials can't be based on reputation alone, nor can I rely solely on my prejudice." Ah Sheng stretched out his hand to help, "I will let people investigate."

The discussion of the recommendation came to an end, and Luo Chi sat down again to talk to Ah Sheng.

"Speaking of Dalian Academy, there is one more thing I don't know if I should mention it to the master."

A Sheng took a sip of water to suppress his shock, and then sighed: "You just can't see me being relaxed."

"Let's talk." Ah Sheng turned his head to look out the window, "I was just listening to a piece of news, but for some people, it was a turning point in their life."

Luo Chi lowered his head and sewed two stitches before he found the tone of voice: "An Lang... is fourteen years old. In the first month's unified examination, he passed the score line of Dalian Academy's Geological Drawing Class, but... he The background...the school transferred him to the literature class...the child refused to accept it, so he made a complaint."

The room was silent.

Compared to Xuxian and Juancheng, this Yangdu house looks rudimentary. There is no floor heating or wall heating, so the chill of the rainy season comes up along the ground, lingering around the bones. The rain became louder and louder, and the bead curtains that had fallen down the eaves turned into silver threads.

"Okay, okay." Ah Sheng wiped the corners of her eyes, "It's a promising child." She was obviously smiling, but she covered her mouth and her nose turned red. After a while, she put her hand down and sniffed: "Bring the letter, I'll give him a note."

Luo Chi's voice was like light: "No." Then he hurriedly brought up the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

The two of them considered the words three times before they finished writing the appeal decision that looked businesslike. The paper with Zhong Huagong's watermark was folded twice, sealed in a kraft paper envelope, stamped with wax, and finally put into a letter box with a metal buckle, and sent out by the guard.

It was getting dark especially fast because of the rain. When Shin had just arrived, candles had to be lit in the house.

A Shengsheng set the meal, she got off the couch, sat behind the table, and asked Luo Chi, "A Chi, do you have anything else to tell me?"

"No..."

"Alas, such a heavy rain, the poor child is afraid that he will go home hungry and in the rain."

Luo Chi knelt down: "I really can't hide anything from the master's eyes."

A Sheng's mouth turned down, his eyes half-squinted: "Have you checked?"

"Yes. Zhuge Liang, a native of Yangdu, was born in the Zhuge clan in Langya. Zhuge Langya is the descendant of Zhuge Feng, the commander of the Western Han Dynasty, and a prominent family in the county. His father Zhuge Gui can only be regarded as a family. The side branch, but still achieved the 600 stone county chief, but unfortunately died early, leaving behind three sons and two daughters. Zhuge Liang is the second among the brothers."

A Sheng smiled and raised his chopsticks: "Let's not consider this kind of family background, children from big families, even if they don't have parents, but they have family care, they can live better than The average person is strong. You give him something to eat and let someone send him back."

"The master said so, it doesn't matter, I see that the little man is really smart. But it is true that he is not too young." Luo Chi muttered, took a A plate of jujube cake and a few xiaolongbao were put in the food box before walking into the rain with an umbrella.

The eldest clump of banana trees in the yard swayed leisurely under the beating of raindrops. It is hard to imagine that there are such good-looking bananas in the north of the Huai River. This is due to the climate of Yangdu. It is close to the river and surrounded by mountains. The mountains block the south wind from the sea. Rainfall is formed here, and the smoke waves rise. No less than Jiangnan.

Luo Chi bypassed the huge banana bushes and came to the humble wooden house of the gatekeeper.

The guards guarding the gate are roasting the fire, and there are two sweet potatoes roasted to the skin. float away. However, this was before Luo Chi came in. Since Luo Chi entered this room, his eyes were fixed on Luo Chi, and he didn't move away for a moment.

"Zhuge Xiaolang, it's midnight. The master asked me to bring food to Xiaolang."

Juge Zhuge didn't have a food box, but sat more upright: "I don't pick books, I want to study with Cao Zi as a reward, does she agree?"

be responsible."

& nbsp; Follow the driver, don't persuade me."

"Why is Xiao Lang like this?" Luo Chi was a little puzzled, "Every time the master has a discussion, he will organize it into a book and send it to Xu County. You want to learn Cao Xue, or you want to see Sheng Sheng who contends with a hundred schools of thought. Jing, just go to Xuxian Academy. The Academy is inclusive, and Xiao Langjun’s family background can also afford the travel expenses, so why follow the master?”

"I heard that Cao started his business by making porcelain, so he compared it to porcelain." The young Zhuge raised his head, "Ordinary bowls, dishes, cups and chopsticks are made from molds and fired in kilns. When it is time to build one layer on top of another, it needs to be stacked as high as one person. Thousands of porcelains fired in this way are all the same. But if you want to make masterpieces and fine products that have been handed down for centuries, they must be made by the best craftsmen. shape, fired alone to guarantee flawless. I am the porcelain embryo that can become a famous product, fired with other people in the inferior school, either I am damaged, or they are damaged, so I came to find what can make me artisan."

"So I'm a craftsman." Ah Sheng's voice suddenly sounded. She held a plain oil-paper umbrella and stood outside the door, not knowing how long she had been listening.

"Master."

"Cao Zi."

Several people in the room spoke at the same time, bowed and saluted.

"Is it any good for me to make you a success?"

The young Zhuge Liang stood up, he was so tall that he had reached Ah Sheng's shoulders. Although the figure is still thin, such a child can already be seen as half an adult. "I can carry forward your teachings, and I will never lose Cao Zi's reputation." Resolutely.

Some people who have left their names in history are really not lucky. Even if times change, even if he is in adversity, even if he is dragged down by prejudice, he can still stand out.

Note 1: Wang Lie persuaded thieves. Once upon a time, there was a cattle thief in the former village. After being caught, he said, "I am willing to accept the punishment. I just want Wang Lie not to know that I am a thief." Later, the cattle thief really changed his mind and became a good man. Ah Sheng said here that he "acted on human terms", which is what he meant.
