Chapter 29                                                                                                                             �

"There is no need for this?" Zhou Mengchen looked at the posture Cheng Guangde was posing and felt a sense of absurdity.

This is completely different from what Zhou Mengchen thought.

In his opinion, the so-called giving water clock manufacturing technology to the Cheng family is just to use some technical specifications and key points of water clock manufacturing, sort out a piece of technical documents and give it to the Cheng family, or simply let the Cheng family send someone to study here for a while, which is enough.

After all, this is not a difficult technology.

But it looks like a completely different person here in Cheng Guangde.

He called his youngest son whom he brought by, asking him to kneel down solemnly, toast tea and become a disciple.

Zhou Mengchen only thought it was extremely absurd. Of course, he understood the importance of the master and apprentice in this era. It can be said that he was a true master and apprentice, such as father and son. As long as the etiquette of apprenticeship is completed in front of everyone, there will be a relationship between this child and Zhou Mengchen in the future. Although it is not as good as the biological son, it is almost the same.

This made Zhou Mengchen feel a little heavy.

Cheng Guangde said, "Mr. Zhou, I have a little selfishness. My child has loved mathology since he was a child. He followed me to do business. He did nothing about the pocket money I gave him, but he just did one thing, that is, to buy books, and all mathology books. He had long admired the heroic figure of the adults in the county government that day. I also had this little selfishness. I hope that this child can teach in front of the adults and gain one or two, which is also a blessing for my Cheng family."

After hearing this, Zhou Mengchen said that he actually didn't mind teaching other people's mathematics, but he didn't want to involve this solemn master-apprentice relationship. He just thought of Feng Li in a daze.

He understood very well that Feng Li promoted him like this not because Zhou Mengchen was handsome, but because Feng Li was devoted to promoting mathematics in order to surpass the previous dynasty. Although Zhou Mengchen did not have such a strong sense of mission, he did not mind imparting the mathematical knowledge he had learned from later generations.

Although some people are not used to this serious master-apprentice relationship, when people cannot change the environment, they have to adapt to the environment.

Zhou Mengchen waved his hand and asked Cheng Guangde's son to come over and asked, "What's your name?"

The child looked about ten years old, with his head and brain, his eyes dripping around and he said, "Tell the teacher, my name is Cheng Dawei."

Zhou Mengchen said, "I heard from your father that you love mathematics and science very much. What have you learned?"

Cheng Dawei said, "Plan to plan."

Zhou Mengchen said, "Call me and see."

Cheng Dawei said: "Yes." Although we found two abacuses and were together, Cheng Dawei started to play, first adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing, until we opened the square. The crisp sound of the abacus was very rhythmic, which surprised Zhou Mengchen slightly.

Although Cheng Dawei cannot be regarded as a child prodigy, he does have some qualifications.

It is good for a ten-year-old child to learn this. If he were to be in the future, he would probably be able to sign up for a math class in the Olympiad class. Judging from the plan alone, he was actually better than Zhou Mengchen. Of course, he was far inferior to Feng Li's storm when he was in the county government office.

But for Zhou Mengchen, he is also qualified.

After all, Zhou Mengchen did not have to learn from Cheng Dazhen, but wanted to see if he had this qualification.

Even if Zhou Mengchen teaches students, he wants to teach someone smarter, but not stupid. This is also a common sense, especially those parents who are forced by their sons to jump off the building, who should feel the same way.

Zhou Mengchen said, "Okay."

Cheng Dawei said, "Disciple greets the teacher." He knelt down and kowtowed, and then respectfully respected the tea.

After the salute, Uncle Zhang also came over to congratulate and said, "Congratulations to Brother Zhou, I am happy to be a good disciple."

Uncle Zhang did not come to Zhou Mengchen often. That is, when Zhou Mengchen first developed a woodworking lathe, Uncle Zhang came here more frequently. After all, for Uncle Zhang, the things here are just part of his own assignments. He still had to spend a long time reviewing the Four Books and Five Classics, as well as various classics and historical books.

After all, Uncle Zhang is determined to win the next imperial examination.

Today is a coincidence.

Zhou Mengchen said, "I am not ready yet, so I am a master."

Uncle Zhang said: "There is no order of learning, and those who are good at learning are the masters. Brother Zhou's achievements in mathematics are far above me. I want to learn from the school. What's more, teaching a child?"

Zhou Mengchen said, "Brother Zhang is joking. How can I teach you this trick? If you want to see it, I will naturally not hide my own personalities. Why should I make a joke about me?"

Uncle Zhang said, "I'll wait for you to say this." He waved to Cheng Dawei and said, "Cheng Dawei, just call me Uncle Master." Then he took a jade pendant as a meeting gift. Cheng Dawei looked at Zhou Mengchen with a wink, and Zhou Mengchen signaled them to accept it, and said, "Call Master Master."

Uncle Zhang is one or two years older than Zhou Mengchen.

Cheng Dawei immediately said, "Thank you."

With Cheng Guangde's joining, Zhou Mengchen immediately felt that he had become more relaxed.

Cheng Guangde has been a businessman for half his life, and dealing with these chores is a piece of cake. Zhou Mengchen also gave Cheng Guangde a salary of 120 taels a year.

With Cheng Guangde, Zhou Mengchen doesn’t have to worry about most of the things.

As for several woodworking lathes, after the initial frequent period of failure, Zhou Mengchen slowly figured out the rules and found a set of maintenance methods. After all, this thing is still a very simple mechanical structure. Some carpenters were cultivated to learn maintenance techniques. In this way, Zhou Mengchen got rid of a lot of trouble and became idle.

It also gives Zhou Mengchen time to deal with some of his own problems.

Zhou Mengchen handled the affairs of the Yangjiyuan and dragged his heavy steps back home.

Zhou's mother had been waiting for him for a long time.

If Zhou's mother didn't know what Zhou Mengchen had to do with the money at the beginning, but after a long time, she would know. After all, Zhou's mother was not deaf and blind, and her family was an old man in Jiangxia County. As long as she heard that the county lord did not allocate funds to her son, she naturally knew where Zhou Mengchen's money came from in Yangjiyuan.

After Zhou's mother found out, she was furious at first, and then she was full of worry.

This is also the instinct of a mother. Although she hated Zhou Mengchen for fooling him, she was even more worried that Zhou Mengchen would mess up this matter. She pretended not to know about this matter, and even pressed down on the matter of telling Zhou Mengchen that she could not have too much contact with the Li family's daughter.

I was afraid that Zhou Mengchen's mind would be divided and things would go wrong.

Now the situation in the Yangjiyuan has also been reported.

While Zhou's mother breathed a sigh of relief, she also decided to deal with Zhou Mengchen.

Therefore, as soon as Zhou Mengchen came back, he was taken to the main hall by Zhou's mother, holding the thorn in his hand and saying, "Kneel down."

Zhou Mengchen knelt down immediately without saying a word.

Because no matter how great a son is, there is never a reason to say in front of his parents. He probably guessed that this was the story of the matter. He was secretly thinking about how to speak in order to calm Zhou's mother.

But Zhou Mengchen never expected that what Zhou's mother said first was not something else, but about Miss Li, who could not be beaten by Bali.

Zhou's mother said: "Does that girl from the Li Family Hospital still often stay in the Yangjianyuan?"

Zhou Mengchen said: "No, she hasn't come for this period of time."

Zhou's mother said, "Amitabha, this is the best." Then she said, "You are old and I shouldn't say anything, but this is not a good person. The Li family is a famous doctor in Wuchang. The Erlang of the Li family is about to be famous for the Juren. My Zhou family has been guarding a bell and drum tower for generations, which is not as good as the Li family. Before, you were running a sanitary school, so why don't I say much about you? Since you can't make it, don't get in touch with it, causing some gossip. It is important to know that words can kill people. They are neighbors, and they will not look good in the future, and they will be thrust by others."

"I, the Zhou family, cannot do such a thing."

"It seems that Mr. Li means that the same thing."

"You are also an adult in the future and need to think carefully. Don't do something wrong. It will not only ruin someone's life, but also delay the kind reputation of the Zhou family for generations."

After hearing this, Zhou Mengchen said he knew it after a while.

If he must have something to say about the Li girl in his heart, he would appreciate it more.

In this era when I was at home and married, few girls said, "What do I want to do." Their lives have been dominated by their fathers, brothers, and husbands. Where can I leave a breath of breath for myself?

But the three views are different, so there is no dialogue.

Zhou Mengchen was also carried by Zhou's mother to a blind date several times.

Don’t think that in ancient times, they were all blind marriages and mute marriages. They were all high-ranking officials and nobles. As long as the family background was matched, people didn’t need to pay much attention to how people were. However, for the people at the bottom, there were very few women who really didn’t go out and didn’t get into the two. In the market in the Song Dynasty, the rules that needed to be looked at each other were just not easy to talk about, and they were just for men and women to see from a distance.

Zhou Mengchen really had no interest in women of his era. He was obedient, but he was obedient. He had a soulless body and was not beautiful either.

Indeed, compared to the beauties that were pickled in various chemical preparations and rendered by various filters in later generations, the pure natural women in ancient times are a little less meaningful.

Zhou Mengchen was still a little uncomfortable just because his mother said this.

What makes him even more uncomfortable is his unchanging life in the future.

Yes, this ninth-rank Yin and Yang official is Zhou Mengchen's ancestral property. It is also because of this official position that more than ten generations of the Zhou family were in Wuchang City, and they were more than enough to compare with each other. But how could Zhou Mengchen want to do this in his life?

He doesn't want to.

No modern person wants it.
