Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 6 The Prodigy
Time flies, and a few years have passed in a blink of an eye.

Speaking of Wangjiabao, many people have never heard of this village before, but now the village has become well-known, and the nearby villagers all know that there is a prodigy in Wangjiabao.

It is said that this child prodigy could speak before he was one year old, walk before he was one and a half years old, and was able to recite enlightenment books such as "Encouraging Learning" and "Thousand Character Essay" backwards when he was two years old.

It was even more amazing when he was three years old. He could speak out many numerology skills that even adults could not count. Some people said that this child prodigy was the descendant of the Wenqu star, some said that he was the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, and some said that he was the reincarnation of the Buddha...

Sometimes some boring people will quarrel over what reincarnation he is, but where is our child prodigy now?

Yes, the prodigy in the eyes of others is our protagonist Wang Mang, and Wang Mang is very clear about this, he is not the reincarnation of some god, but just an ordinary person in his previous life.

And why he is a genius in the eyes of others, a prodigy, this is about a talent he discovered after reincarnation, that is a photographic memory.

This ability allows him to remember some vague memories of his previous life very clearly, and he doesn't know whether it is a pleasure or a pain to often recall the memories of his previous life.

Wang Mang's study in the previous life was not bad, but it was definitely not good either. This time he was reincarnated and had a photographic memory. Speaking of which, he was also very curious about it at the time, but he didn't care about it over time.

In a small town not far from Wangjiabao, there is a private school. There is only one old gentleman and a dozen children in the private school. I heard that the old gentleman was a long history before, although the villagers don’t know what a long history is. Officer, but they all have special respect for this old gentleman.

There were bursts of voices of children reciting books in the private school, and suddenly, a different voice interrupted the reciting.

"Sir, I can memorize today's homework, can you let me go home early!" At this time, Wang Mang, who was about seven years old, respectfully dressed an old man with a long beard and a ruler in his hand. Said.

I saw the old gentleman said earnestly: "Jing Yang, I have heard some rumors about you, but Confucius said: review the old to learn the new, if you have nothing else to do, you should finish the class well!"

"Sir, I don't dare to bother you if it's nothing, it's just that a distinguished guest is coming to the student's home today, so the student..." Wang Mang, who is now Wang Jingyang, said.

The old man twisted his beard and said with a smile: "So that's the case, Jing Yang, you should go back early today!"

"Thank you sir, then the student will leave!" Wang Mang said like an adult, clasping his fists.

Seeing the situation, more than a dozen other children also said that there were guests at home, but the old man sternly said: "If you can also recite the Four Books and Five Classics like Jing Yang, you can go home too."

A dozen or so children stopped talking when the old man said this. Wang Mang, who had just walked out, heard the old man scolding those children, and couldn't help thinking of how the teacher treated the good students and the poor students in his previous life when he was in school. difference.

At that time, I was just an ordinary student. I didn't expect that after reincarnation, I could enjoy the treatment of a good student and become a child of someone else's family. Thinking of this, Wang Mang smiled wryly.

After leaving the private school, he saw a carriage parked by the side of the road with a rustic middle-aged man dressed as a coachman. Wang Mang respectfully called "Uncle Li" when he saw the middle-aged man.

Unexpectedly, Wang Mang recalled the origin of this "Uncle Li". When he was three years old, this Uncle Li came to their home. At first he thought it was a coachman hired by his adoptive father Wang San. Only when I was in private school did I know that Uncle Li is a master who hides his secrets.

Such a picture flashed in Wang Mang's mind. It was a year ago, on his way home after finishing his private school, he encountered a group of men in black ambushing him. As a result, Wang Mang hadn't seen clearly what happened, so he just Seeing the man in black lying on the ground, Uncle Li continued on his way as if nothing happened.

Since then, Wang Mang never dared to underestimate this rustic Uncle Li.
Uncle Li smiled and said, "Manger, why did get out of class end so early today!" Wang Mang said as he got into the car, "Uncle Li, we have guests at home today."

Speaking of the name Mang'er, it was Wang Mang who made up a series of lies like dreaming of being given a name by a god, and finally let the family call back the name Wang Mang, but this name can only be used as a child's name.

And Wang Mang had no choice but to admit it. After all, he still had a lot of affection for the name of Wang Mang in his previous life.

When Uncle Li heard this, a bright light flashed in his eyes: "Oh, so that's the case!" Then he didn't say anything more.

And Wang Mang is not a talkative person, sitting in the carriage began to quietly think about this so-called distinguished guest.

Soon, the carriage arrived at Wang San's house, and saw that Wang San's house was blue bricks and green tiles, which was quite different from a few years ago. A large sum of money came, so Wang San's family gradually became richer.

And Wang Mang's only impression of this brother Jinghui, whom he has never met before, is that he is rich and powerful.

Wang Mang also knew from reading books over the years that he had come to the Wu Zhou period, and now Wu Zetian happened to be in power.

However, due to the small scope of activities and the fact that Wangjiabao is located in a remote area, he has never seen any of those famous people in the Wu Zhou period. The only one he has seen should be Yuan Tiangang. Thinking of this, Wang Mang suddenly thought of this The distinguished guest this time should be Yuan Tiangang!

Wang Mang walked towards the main hall with wild thoughts like this, and before entering, he heard the familiar laughter of an old man: "I came this time to pick up Jing Yang..."

After Wang Mang entered the main hall, he saw Yuan Tiangang, who was the same as when he had just crossed over. He was wearing a Taoist robe, with a beard under his chin, and he was twirling his beard and smiling.

Wang San, who was sitting on the main seat, saw Wang Mang coming in, and said with a smile: "Manger, come and meet this old gentleman! You were carried by this old gentleman when you were young!"

"Oh, I often heard my father and my mother mention you before. It turns out that you are the old gentleman who brought me here with me. Jing Yang met you!" Wang Mang bowed to Yuan Tiangang as he spoke.

Wang Mang's acting skills can be regarded as proficient in recent years, and the name of child prodigy in recent years is the result of his restraint.

"Good! Good! Good! Along the way, I heard a lot of rumors about Jing Yang being a prodigy from the villagers. I didn't expect that the baby back then was really extraordinary," Yuan Tiangang said with a smile.

Wang Sanyi said with a smile: "Old man, don't praise him anymore, if you praise him again, his tail will almost hit the sky!"

Yuan Tiangang smiled and said: "No exaggeration! No exaggeration! Such a child prodigy is even a god, and there are few people who can compare with it!"

Yuan Tiangang went on to say: "Originally, I came this time to take Jingyang to see his brother, but on the way, I had the idea of ​​accepting apprentices again. I don't know what to do?"

Wang San thought for a while: "Mr. is pedantic about heaven and man. It is his blessing that Mang Er can worship Mr. as his teacher!"

Yuan Tiangang nodded in satisfaction, and then said to Wang Mang, "You would like to worship me as your teacher!"

Wang Mang saw that this legendary figure wanted to accept him as an apprentice. Although Yuan Tiangang's purpose may not be pure, he first learned his skills and said that if Yuan Tiangang treated him sincerely, he would naturally respect his teacher. , if he is used to do something that harms the country and the people, then he will not be able to follow suit.

These thoughts just flashed through Wang Mang's mind, and Wang Mang immediately bowed after hearing the words: "The apprentice pays homage to the master!"

Seeing this, Yuan Tiangang laughed loudly: "Okay, get up quickly, it's getting late today, and I will formally apprentice to the teacher tomorrow!"

Seeing this, Wang San immediately said, "I have prepared the guest room, please move the old man." Yuan Tiangang smiled and said: "Then I will be busy!"
