Chapter 136 Master Zhang
Rong Chi's courtyard was next to Rong Ye's courtyard, but the palace was too big and it took a long time to walk there.
It would take more than 20 minutes in modern time.
It can be seen that the Prince of Liang’s Mansion is really big, and Xie Shuangbai has not yet finished touring it all.
It was his first time to visit Rongchi Yard. It looked similar to Rongye Yard. Both were bare and had not been designed.
Xie Shuangbai asked, "Master Zhang also lives here?"
"Master Zhang lives in a house not far from the palace, and someone will pick him up every day."
Xie Shuangbai was very curious about Master Zhang and asked:
"Who is Master Zhang? He must be very powerful to be invited by you, right?"
Rong Ye did not hide it: "Master Zhang is very knowledgeable. He is a master from the Zhang Ge Lao clan."
Xie Shuangbai understood after Rong Ye said one word
It seems that Master Zhang was introduced by that Lord Zhang. He is at the Lord Zhang level and must be very powerful.
Besides, the Dayin Dynasty has always valued culture over military affairs. Even though he is just a teacher in the clan, he cannot be underestimated, and even Rong Ye has to give him face.
Xie Shuangbai smiled and said, "You must have spent a lot of money to invite Master Zhang!"
Rong Ye glanced at him and said, "Not really. Master Zhang doesn't really value money."
As they were talking, they arrived in the yard.
The maids and servants in Rongchi's yard were already waiting.
When they saw that even the prince had come today, they immediately stepped forward and knelt down to pay their respects.
"Get up, is Master Zhang here?"
"Your Highness, Master Zhang is waiting."
Rong Ye walked in quickly.
He was startled when he saw Rong Ye coming, then he quickly stood up and saluted: "This old man greets the prince!"
Rong Ye hurried forward to help him:
"Master Zhang, please excuse me. I haven't paid attention to Chi'er's studies for a long time. I just came to see how he's doing. I'm sorry to interrupt your lecture today."
Master Zhang said respectfully, "The young master is smart, studious, and very well-behaved. Since the prince is so concerned about the young master, the young master will be even more attentive."
Xie Shuangbai also pulled Rong Chi in.
Rong Chi shrank back, a little scared, and looked up at Xie Shuangbai.
Xie Shuangbai touched his little face and said, "Don't be afraid, Chi'er. You must remember that we must not lose our momentum in any situation!"
Rong Chi nodded, not quite understanding, and looked at Xie Shuangbai with his bright eyes:
"I understand, little daddy."
Xie Shuangbai took his little hand and walked into the classroom.
He saw Master Zhang sitting in front of him at a glance.
He looked to be about 60 years old, with a long beard and a thin figure. He looked like an energetic old man.
The classroom was about the same size as Rongye's study. Teacher Zhang sat in the front, and Rongye's desk was in the middle.
It makes people feel anxious just looking at it.
I am alone in a room and the teacher is watching me every day. How much psychological pressure must I be under!
If you don't know the answer to a question, it would be very embarrassing and there would be no one to help you.
Poor little Rong Chi.
Xie Shuangbai couldn't help but touch his little head.
Xiao Rongchi didn't understand what was going on. He glanced at Xie Shuangbai and walked over obediently.
He first exchanged greetings with Master Zhang and then sat down obediently at his desk, glancing at Xie Shuangbai reluctantly.
Xie Shuangbai gestured to him to be at ease.
Master Zhang was very pleased with Rong Chi's politeness. He saw a young man standing next to Rong Ye and asked, "Your Highness, who is this young man..."
"It belongs to this king..."
Xie Shuangbai was afraid Rong Ye would say something outrageous, so he hurried over and bowed, saying, "My name is Xie. Today, I heard the prince speak of Master Zhang's extraordinary knowledge, so I came to pay him a visit."
Master Zhang frowned when he saw his attitude towards the prince, and was shocked when he saw Xie Shuangbai clearly.
I have seen countless men, but this is the first time I have seen a man with such a good appearance.
He looked at Xie Shuangbai and Rong Ye without leaving any trace. Could it be...
Master Zhang felt that he had discovered something extraordinary. He suppressed his fear and said calmly:
"Thank you, sir. I am not worthy of your extraordinary knowledge. The ocean of knowledge is boundless, and I only know a small part. Your praise is too much!"
Rong Ye said, "Master Zhang's knowledge is certainly worthy of my praise."
Master Zhang stroked his beard and smiled faintly.
Xie Shuangbai said apologetically, "The students came unexpectedly today and shouldn't have disturbed your teaching. We will go back now."
Rong Ye nodded lightly and pulled Xie Shuangbai to go out.
Master Zhang stopped Rong Ye and said, "Wait a minute, Your Majesty. Since it's so rare for you to come here, why don't you see how the young master is doing?"
A smile appeared on Xie Shuangbai's lips, and he knew that Master Zhang would definitely keep him.
After all, no matter how good a teacher is, he or she also hopes to be recognized by parents.
Rong Ye replied to Master Zhang, "Okay."
The servants quickly brought two soft stools.
Rong Ye asked them to sit below Master Zhang.
Master Zhang saw that they were both seated before he spoke:
"Today we will continue from our last talk. Last time we talked about the three talents: heaven, earth, and man. Young Master, what do you mean by that?"
Rong Chi was startled when his name was suddenly called. He stood up nervously: "Yes... yes... the three talents are heaven, earth, and man."
Master Zhang saw that he was stumbling in his answer, but he did say it, but his explanation was incomplete.
He repeated, "Heaven refers to nature, the laws of nature, earth represents the vitality of all things, and man refers to our civilization. Prince, please remember this!"
Rong Chi whispered back, "I'll remember that, Master."
Master Zhang nodded, stroked his beard, and continued:
"Recite again what you learned from the previous two days."
Rong Chi was visibly nervous. He pinched his clothes, glanced at Xie Shuangbai and Rong Ye, frowned in thought, and a soft child's voice rang out in the classroom:
"At birth, human nature is good. Natures are close, but habits separate them... If... not taught, nature... will change. Teach... teach... the Way is precious, precious, precious..."
Little Rongchi stood in front of the desk, silently shedding tears. He forgot and couldn't recite it, so he looked at Xie Shuangbai anxiously.
Xie Shuangbai looked at the smaller version of "Rong Ye" looking at him pitifully and opened his mouth to remind him.
Rong Chi was so aggrieved that he could no longer hold back his feelings and burst into tears.
He ran from his desk to Xie Shuangbai's arms, hugged Xie Shuangbai and cried, "Little Daddy, I can't recite it. I don't want to be spanked, Little Daddy!"
Rong Ye frowned when he saw Rong Chi acting coquettishly again.
Master Zhang was also confused by Rong Chi's action.
He saw Rong Chi's performance was pretty good, and since the prince rarely came, he wanted to show him what he was doing, and also prove that he had taught the young master well. But...
Master Zhang stood up hurriedly: "Your Highness, this... is all because of my excessive severity. I frightened the young master. It is my responsibility!"
Rong Ye: "Master Zhang, please don't blame yourself. It's Chi'er who is spoiled. Today, I will take him back and give him a good scolding. I will let him come back another day."
Master Zhang quickly advised, "Your Highness, please don't be too strict. Otherwise, I'm afraid the young master will become tired of studying!"
"I understand. Master, please go back and rest for a few days. I will send someone to invite you another day!"
Master Zhang saw Rong Chi crying in grievance and knew that today's class could not continue no matter what. He nodded and said, "This is the only way. Your Highness, please don't be too harsh."
Master Zhang had also heard of his nickname, the Living King of Hell. The young master was only five years old, and he was afraid that he would beat the child half to death. What should he do?
