Chapter 47: weird stuff
Chapter 47 Strange Stuff
Li Ce also felt that it was unlikely, and persuaded him from the side:
"Sister-in-law, don't blame Brother Jinxiao. Although both Chang Lao and Nie Lao are highly respected people, they have very weird tempers. You saw that day. It was not easy for them to accept Brother Jinxiao. Now It may be difficult for the second elder to accept four more little treasures as disciples."
"How will you know if you don't try?"
Chu Nanzhi's tone suddenly became serious:
"Parents want their children to get the best education. Even if they don't become officials in the future, they can better hone their minds by following the two great Confucians."
Gazing at Lin Jinxiao's cold, arrogant and beautiful figure, he could feel a sense of righteousness emanating from the inside out everywhere.
This guy grew up in such a bad family environment, but he can always repay kindness with kindness, which shows that Chang Lao and Nie Lao have an extraordinary influence on him.
Although she will not force Lin Jinxiao to seek fame due to excessive vanity like the original owner, she cannot fully agree with Chang Lao and Nie Lao:
Too negative avoidance of the world.
The best destination for a good man in this era is to go to the court to make contributions.
Not only Lin Jinxiao, she also had such expectations for the two boys, Dabao and Sanbao.
Slowly putting down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, Chu Nanzhi said to Lin Jinxiao in a serious manner:
"When the ten-year cold window was only for the gold list, I think this is the voice of all you men, Lin Dalang, I respect your choice, and will not force you to seek fame, but I still have to say something."
Closing her eyes slightly, she pondered quietly for a while, organized her words, and continued:
"The prosperity of a dynasty depends not only on the decision-making of the king, but also on the creation and protection of thousands of scholars. Party disputes are only temporary and not forever. If everyone is in danger because of a party dispute, they will feel that the court is dim If you are too timid to step into the officialdom, then there is nothing to save this dynasty."
At this point, she looked at Lin Jinxiao who was listening a little bit, and suddenly smiled humbly:
"I'm a woman from a family. I don't read as many sage books as you do, and I don't speak the big truths like you. But the truth is this. The four little treasures will grow up sooner or later, and they will have their own ideas in the future. Let's do it. Parents should earn them the right to choose their own destiny in the future, is it possible for them to stay in the village and farm for the rest of their lives?"
Li Ce was in awe when he heard this.
I am afraid that both Chang Lao and Nie Lao admire such a great truth.
Lin Jinxiao looked at Chu Nanzhi with a dumb face:
Such an inspiring remark can surely be made by a woman who has not read many books?
He didn't believe what the woman said.
Could this be inspired by Taoist Ximen again?
If this is the case, he would feel ashamed.
But no matter what, her words were indeed very useful, and she gave him some pointers.
The handsome sword eyebrows looked at Chu Nanzhi again, and his cold eyes gradually became more friendly and gentle:
"When the two mentors come back next time, I will discuss with the two elders to see if I can fight for it, but don't hold out too much hope."
Seeing that he was finally convinced, Chu Nanzhi smiled at him in relief.
It doesn't seem like a guy who is completely unreasonable.
Actually, she didn't expect Lin Jinxiao to be able to persuade the second elder alone, but she didn't want him to make trouble when she asked the second elder.
When the four little guys heard that they were going to learn from the two great Confucianists, they were immediately overjoyed, and they were so excited that they began to discuss with each other who they should worship as their teacher.
Sambo Lin Ruichong first said: "Mother, I want to worship Grandpa Nie as my teacher."
Erbao Lin Ruixi also said: "Mother, I also want to learn from Grandpa Nie."
"Well, I also want to be with Grandpa Nie. Grandpa Nie always buys us delicious food. I still want to eat the red bean cake last time."
Sibao Lin Ruijia pursed her mouth and pondered for a while before making this difficult decision.
Dabao Lin Ruiwen was silent for a while, but he rolled his eyes disapprovingly, and said to Lin Jinxiao:
"Father, I want to learn swordsmanship from Grandpa Chang."
"You can't say this in front of the two grandpas."
Lin Jinxiao's face was gloomy, a little unhappy.
Li Ce also persuaded gently: "You little rascals are so picky and picky in front of the elders, they will definitely not accept you."
Chu Nanzhi looked at the mischievous appearance of the four little guys, and reminded seriously: "If the two grandpas are willing to accept you, you will naturally worship as teachers. The two grandpas have their own strengths."
Nie Lao is good at Confucian classics, while Chang Lao focuses on poetry, fu, calligraphy, painting and swordsmanship.
Natural and military skills are naturally the best.
After the quadruplets listened, except for Dabao who was expressionless, the other three seemed a little bit disappointed.
They were a little afraid of Grandpa Chang: Grandpa Chang is too fierce.
Chu Nanzhi pretended not to see, and told the others to eat quickly, and waited until the meal was finished to go to the kitchen to clean up the dishes. Li Ce had already made arrangements for Lin Jinxiao, helped her back to the back room and lay down, and came to say goodbye to her.
Thinking that Li Ce will go back to the county government office tomorrow, and that guy doesn't want to be served by her, she has to find a way to let him defecate conveniently at any time.
It's okay to urinate, it's more troublesome for him to defecate now that his leg injury has not healed.
Every time she saw Lin Jinxiao blushing, Chu Nanzhi couldn't bear it.
If he could make something like a toilet, he would be able to solve this kind of thing by himself.
Thinking like this, after the four little treasures fell asleep, she held the lamp and went to the hut to have a look.
It is said to be a hut, but it is actually two pig houses built before, but it has been vacant and has become a special hut.
The floor of the pig house is paved with wooden boards, and a deep cesspit is dug underneath. A large hole is cut on the middle board of the floor of each pig house, so that urine and feces can be discharged into the cesspit through the hole.
Chu Nanzhi glanced roughly, and then had an idea in her heart.
At night, she drew a simple drawing according to the shape of the toilet. After breakfast the next day, she took a hundred Wen and went to the village carpenter Qian to make a closed half-meter-high toilet according to her own ideas. The barrel comes out.
Wait until the barrel is ready, and then cut out a big hole on the top and bottom, so it's considered done.
Afterwards, he took a few sharpened wooden stakes and some long nails from Carpenter Qian's house.
Back home, the quadruplets saw her carrying a wooden bucket, and they didn't know what she was going to do, so they ran into the pig house with her curiously.
Several pairs of small eyes rolled around, watching her put the wooden barrel on the hole for defecation and fasten it, and then in the pigsty, she gestured for the size for a while, and nailed the wooden stakes to both sides of the wooden barrel with a hammer for a while.
Not long after, a strange thing stood in the pigsty, which caught everyone's eyes abruptly.
Chu Nanzhi looked at the masterpiece she had been working on for half a day, and said to the quadruplets with joy on her face:
"Go and help your father over here."
Little Sibao immediately saw her intentions, pointed to the wooden barrels with armrests on both sides, and asked cheerfully: "Mother, will it be convenient for Dad to sit on it by himself in the future?"
Chu Nanzhi smiled and nodded at the little guys.
The quadruplets swarmed to the back room to call Dad.
Lin Jinxiao was very puzzled, and limped to the pigsty on crutches. Before he could figure out what was going on, he saw Chu Nanzhi pointing to the standing wooden toilet and said with a smile:
"Sit on it and try it out, see if it fits?"
After being seen through by this woman, Lin Jinxiao was no longer annoyed or ashamed, and scolded with a sullen face:
"Chu Nanzhi, are you in a panic, what's wrong with you?"
"My old lady didn't let you take off your pants in front of your face, why are you embarrassed?"
As soon as Chu Nanzhi finished speaking, Lin Jinxiao left the quadruplets behind, turned around on crutches and sped up to turn outside, running away like an old turtle, afraid of being dragged back by force.
