Chapter 16 Jiang Zhe's Fables
Marriage...children...
A warm and lovely scene immediately appeared in Jiang Zhe's mind.
"Husband..." Xiu'er, holding a chubby baby, took small steps to stand in front of Jiang Zhe, her face radiating maternal love. "Look how adorable our child is... just like you..."
"Hehe..." Jiang Zhe started chuckling foolishly.
"teacher?"
"Hehe..." Jiang Zhe squinted, his face full of smiles.
"teacher?!"
"Huh?" Jiang Zhe was taken aback, glanced around, then suddenly his expression turned serious. He glared at Chen Deng and said fiercely, "Ahem... what is it?"
"...The student has solved all the questions the teacher gave. Please check them..." Chen Deng was really helpless. He just wanted to hand in his paper. Why was there such a big reaction?
Annoyed that this guy had ruined her cozy daydreams, she frowned and glanced at the test she had just set. But to her surprise, she was somewhat astonished. This kid was something else! In just a day or two, he had mastered the multiplication table? And with such a quick understanding, he could even do division?
It seems we can't underestimate these ancient people. Jiang Zhe felt a growing sense of unease.
"Are the student's answers correct?" Chen Deng asked, oblivious to the situation.
Jiang Zhe thought to himself, "I can't let this guy underestimate me, or how will I make a living?" Glancing at Chen Deng's delighted expression, Jiang Zhe frowned and said calmly, "I have a story to tell. Would you like to hear it?"
"Want to hear a story?" Although Chen Deng felt puzzled, he still nodded respectfully.
"Once upon a time, there was a wealthy man who could barely read a few words in his life. Therefore, he greatly admired and respected those who were literate. He thought, 'I can't read, but my son can't be illiterate.' So he gritted his teeth and spent a lot of money to hire a tutor to teach his son to read. The tutor said no problem and that the fee would be calculated by the number of days. He thought, 'There are so many words in the world, how can I possibly teach them all?'"
The wealthy man pondered for a moment, feeling both heartbroken and helpless. He could only say to his son, "Son, you must strive to learn all of your teacher's skills as soon as possible, so that we can save some money."
The son nodded.
On the first day, the teacher taught the character "一" (one), and the rich man's son nodded and learned it.
The next day, the teacher taught the son the word "two," which he quickly learned.
On the third day, the teacher taught him the character "three". After the son learned it, he told his father that he had learned all the characters in the world... In an instant, Chen Deng's face turned red. He "understood" why Jiang Zhe told this story. The teacher must have seen that he was proud and arrogant just now, so he told this story to spur him on. He was immediately ashamed and embarrassed, and a few drops of cold sweat slowly appeared on his forehead.
Jiang Zhe glanced at Chen Deng, a hint of amusement in his eyes. He thought to himself, "My sage, don't blame me. I'm just trying to make a living. No, I need to support my family. Right now, we only have two mouths to feed, but that won't last. What if Xiu'er gives me a few chubby boys? That would be… hehe."
"...After the son said that, his father looked at the words his son had written and believed him, so he dismissed the teacher."
Then one day, the nouveau riche suddenly remembered a good friend. He thought that now that his son could read, he would invite him over for a meal so he could show off.
So he asked his son to write a letter to a friend far away, but little did he know that the friend's name was Wan San…”
Upon hearing this, Chen Deng's expression was extremely complex. He wanted to laugh but dared not. He felt ashamed and admired his teacher's erudition. They were both young, so why did his teacher know so many precious things?
Chen Deng scrutinized Jiang Zhe's face, a strange thought creeping into his mind: if the teacher were willing to impart all his knowledge to him, then... then...
As he thought about it, Chen Deng couldn't help but get excited.
"What are you thinking about!" Jiang Zhe showed off his teacher's authority and immediately subdued Chen Deng.
The rest is unnecessary to elaborate on; with Chen Deng's intelligence, it shouldn't be difficult for him to guess. Jiang Zhe straightened his clothes, feigning a regretful yet somewhat indifferent attitude, "Learning has no end... what a pity..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Deng panicked, thinking that he had really angered his teacher. What should he do? He quickly bowed deeply and said, "Please forgive Yuanlong's ignorance, teacher. I will be humble and diligent in the future, and I will surely spread your Jiang learning to the world..."
Jiang Zhe was both amused and exasperated. "Jiang Xue... as long as you don't take away my six strings of cash, do whatever you want..."
"Hmm..." Jiang Zhe glanced at Chen Deng furtively. "One can have pride, but not arrogance! Yuan Long, remember that..."
"Brilliant!" Chen Deng stared in disbelief, speechless with astonishment.
Jiang Zhe suppressed a laugh, thinking to himself that he had finally saved his job.
"I will remember your words, teacher!" Chen Deng nodded solemnly, then suddenly frowned and secretly glanced at Jiang Zhe.
"Speak your mind!" Jiang Zhe was in a very good mood.
"What are your thoughts on the Han Dynasty, teacher?"
The Han Dynasty? It's already the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and you're still asking for my opinion?
"Even a worm with a hundred joints doesn't die easily; it still has a long way to go!" Jiang Zhe said casually while sipping his tea.
These words startled Chen Deng, who thought to himself that his teacher was indeed very direct and to the point! However, his words seemed somewhat inappropriate…
"In the teacher's view, that great and virtuous teacher..."
"Zhang Jiao?"
"Uh...yes." Chen Deng smiled wryly.
Jiang Zhe snorted, shook his head, and continued drinking his tea, meaning he couldn't tell you.
To Chen Deng's surprise, he interpreted this as Zhang Jiao's plan inevitably failing. He thought to himself, "My teacher is indeed a genius! He's just like my father. My father is old, so he can see things clearly now. But what about my teacher..."
"In your opinion, teacher, this world..."
Upon hearing Chen Deng's words, Jiang Zhe suddenly thought of the future struggles for supremacy among the feudal lords, and blurted out, "When Qin loses its deer, the whole world will vie for it!"
These words were like a thunderbolt, instantly dispelling the fog in Chen Deng's mind. Suddenly, he understood everything his father had said before.
"I see! I see!"
Chen Deng stared intently at the ground, then suddenly walked up to Jiang Zhe and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, teacher!"
Jiang Zhe nodded casually.
Chen Deng glanced at Jiang Zhe's expression and thought to himself, "This teacher is so unassuming, yet he has such abilities. If..."
Having come this far, Chen Deng was determined to go all out. He cupped his hands and said, "The world is in chaos now. Please, teacher, teach me the profound wisdom of this chaotic era!"
