Ming Zuo

Chapter 644 A Different World

"Is this little brother an official?"

The behavior of the man in black made Zhang Pu ask.

The man in black raised his hand to his eyebrows.

"I'm a policeman. If you encounter any difficulties in Shandong, you can ask people like me for help. Of course, don't do bad things, otherwise we will arrest you too."

Zhang Pu understood a little.

The man in black should be the yamen servant.

It's just that in Shandong, they are not called yamen servants, but policemen.

After the policeman left, Lu Shiyi murmured: "Warning the world and watching out for danger, this title is very good, it is far better than a yamen servant."

Although the rest of the people did not speak, they all nodded silently, agreeing with Shandong's approach for the first time.

After a small episode, Zhang Pu and others walked into the shop.

The shop owner was already at the side, and said with a smile: "Everyone has come from afar, the weather is extremely hot, how about a glass of ice water to cool off?"

Sun Shenxing was taken aback.

"Your shop also has ice water?"

The owner was baffled.

"Why can't there be ice water?"

Sun Shenxing laughed angrily.

"Hehe, you're really shameless. In today's world, apart from the royal family, how can ordinary people store ice cubes in this scorching summer?"

The shopkeeper scratched his head, puzzled.

"Is it difficult? Isn't it possible to do it in the Tang Dynasty?"

This said, Zhang Pu and others were all shocked.

They read a lot of books and claim to be unparalleled in the world, but there are still things they don't know.

"Does the store have a certificate?"

The shopkeeper didn't have time to chat with them, so he turned and went to the back.

After a while, he came back with a tray.

There are several transparent glass cups on the tray.

The cup contained liquids of bright colors and different colors, and it was impossible to tell what it was at the moment.

The shopkeeper came over and distributed the cups to everyone.

"This is the homemade juice of the shop. It uses pears, plums, etc. Ice water is added to it, which is even more refreshing."

Sun Shenxing looked at the transparent cup with emotion.

"Now this thing has been popular all over the world, but it's a pity that it's expensive. I didn't expect that in Shandong, ordinary people can use it."

In his cup, the liquid was so transparent that he thought it was just water.

But he took a sip closer, and the cold and sweet taste instantly dispelled all the heat, making him moan in comfort.

The originally flushed face also calmed down.

When Zhang Pu and others saw it, they also drank one after another.

Definitely ice water.

This was confirmed after they drank it.

Except for ice water, it is impossible to be so refreshing.

In addition, the sweet taste in the water is also very novel. It is neither sugar nor salt. I don't know how to make it?

"Shopkeeper, you said that this ice-making method already existed in Tang Dynasty, do you have proof?"

Seeing that they were still struggling with this matter, the shopkeeper couldn't help being annoyed.

"There are teachers in the school, and my children know about it. They all look like gentlemen, why don't you know?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Pu and the others blushed.

He didn't expect to be taught a lesson in this small roadside shop.

Guan Yingzhen heard something and asked, "The store is talking about the school?"

The owner of the shop didn't expect these people to have endless problems, so he simply walked to the door of the shop, pointed to the distance and said, "It's not called a school here, it's called a school, that's over there. If you don't understand anything, just go and ask."

Zhang Pu and others raised their heads to investigate, but they were far away and couldn't see what was going on.

But thinking that the schools in Shandong would actually teach knowledge that they didn't know, it really made them unconvinced.

After eating hastily in this small shop, after dispelling the heat, several people stepped out of the shop, looking for the shopkeeper's directions.

After a cup of tea, they came outside the school.

What they didn't expect was that there was actually a wall here, which was airtight.

Although it can be seen from the outside that the area is wide, the houses are continuous, and there is a large open space, but it is impossible to enter.

Several people searched for the way slowly, and finally came to the door.

About to step in, but was blocked.

"What's the matter with you guys? You are not allowed to enter without permission."

An old man blocked the door, preventing them from entering.

Seeing that it was an old man, Lu Shiyi said politely: "Old man, we are coming from other places. I heard that Shandong School is different, so I really want to go inside and see it, please allow me."

Seeing that he spoke politely, the old man became more amiable.

"I can't decide this. Wait a minute. I'll send someone to ask the principal."

The old man searched around and happened to see a baby.

"Chen Xiaozhu, hurry up and find the principal, he said that there are guests coming."

The kid ran away, full of energy.

Not long after, the campus hurriedly walked, and a few people came.

But seeing the first person, Zhang Pu and others all changed their expressions.

Because it was a young woman who came.

That's all for women, but they still wear fancy clothes.

A small black dress on the upper body tightly outlines the body, so that the curves are exposed.

What surprised them even more was that the woman was actually wearing pants on her lower body.

If it's underwear, it's fine. Wearing a skirt on the outside is also a common attire for women in the Ming Dynasty.

But this woman only had trousers, so that her legs were clearly defined, and her waist and hips swayed when she moved, which made several old scholars dare not look directly at her.

The woman didn't feel anything, and quickly came to the front.

"Master Qin, are these the guests?"

The old janitor stepped aside.

"Principal Lin, they said they are from other places and want to visit the school."

The young woman was about twenty-five or six years old, tall and slender, with a stubborn look between her eyebrows and eyes, and she spoke quite kindly.

"I don't know where the gentlemen came from, what do you want to see?"

Seeing that other people avoided giving way one after another, Zhang Pu had no choice but to come forward.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Pu from Taicang, came here to discuss teaching with Mr. Liu Niantai. Passing by here today, I heard that the school in your place has a unique style and even teaches knowledge that we don't know, so I came here to ask for advice. Please forgive me if I am presumptuous."

Principal Lin raised his eyebrows.

"It turned out to be Mr. Xi Ming in person."

Zhang Bo was taken aback for a moment, feeling rather complacent.

"You also know someone's name?"

Principal Lin smiled lightly.

"Nian Taigong and Mr. Ximing are debating, no one in the world knows? You scolded Nian Taigong very much, and his disciples and grandchildren hate you. How dare you come to Shandong?"

Zhang Pulang said in a loud voice: "The morality lies, even though there are tens of thousands of people, I will go!"

Principal Lin was not polite.

"I'm afraid that your way is the wrong way, not only misleading others and yourself, but also misleading the whole world."

Zhang Pu frowned sullenly when he said this.

"Taoism is the most important thing in the world, and it has nothing to do with a little girl like you."

Principal Lin didn't think it was disobedient, and read a poem.

"Who says women are inferior to men? Women can hold up half the sky. Even my commander-in-chief respects women, but you old scholars are poor, conservative, blindly arrogant, and will be swept into the dustbin of history sooner or later."

Zhang Pu burst into flames, but he insisted on his identity.

"We came here today just to visit, and we don't want to argue with you. If you allow it, please let it go."

Lu Shiyi said fiercely beside him: "Could it be that this kind of school only teaches crooked ways and misleads students?"

Principal Lin smiled, like a yellow warbler singing a willow.

"Several of them are also famous Confucians all over the world, but they use this kind of aggressive method. My Shandong is open and upright, and everything I do is inherited and developed by the Chinese. There is nothing that cannot be said to others, and there is nothing that cannot be seen. Please come in, today I will let you see what is called the new world."
