Second Chance Chapter 403

Zhu Pingan and Zhang Siwei all the way to the Da Lisi, in the middle of the road ran into the Wang Shizhen to this, Wang Shizhen is also and Zhang Siwei think a piece of it, the evening Da Lisi to open a reception banquet, take advantage of the noon three brothers together to get together.

The three casually found a small but clean-looking restaurant to go in, ordered four dishes and a soup, asked for six cooking cakes to eat up. When Wang Shizhen learnt of Zhu Pingan’s assignment at the Hanlin Academy, he was first surprised for a moment, and then he fought for Zhu Pingan, believing that Li Mo and Li Daolord were too hasty in their view of the matter, and that Zhu Pingan was treated differently without careful investigation. Like Zhang Siwei, Wang Shizhen consoled Zhu Pingan and offered to let his father, who was a royal historian, help to speak to Li Mo and Li Daolord. Zhu Pingan also declined all of them.

“The so-called Heaven will send a great task to the people, must first suffer their hearts and minds to starve their sinews and bones, toil their bodies and skin, and had benefited from their inability to do so. Hehe, this may also be God’s way of descending a great task with me.” Zhu Pingan smiled and comforted the two.

“Look at Zi Hou, heh, Wensheng, I think we are purely the emperor is not anxious eunuch anxious ……” Zhang Siwei pointed at Zhu Pingan and laughed.

“Pull back, you go be a eunuch, I’m not doing it.”

Wang Shizhen shook his head, then the three of them looked at each other and laughed. Wang Shizhen and Zhang Siwei praised Zhu Pingan for being able to remain optimistic at this time, and they thought that if they were in their place, they would definitely not be able to be as broad-minded as Zhu Pingan.

After dinner, Wang Shizhen went to the Da Lisi, Zhu Pingan and Zhang Siwei returned to the Hanlin Academy, each back to their respective offices. After Zhu Pingan returned to the Book Depository, he brewed a pot of poor, then carried the teapot and teacups up to the third floor and went straight to the Yongle Grand Ceremony.

Responsible for sweeping the Book Depository of the servant went upstairs to clean, saw a hand holding a book with one hand tea Zhu Pingan, found that Zhu Pingan reading books like God, even if he came upstairs did not find, in the cleaning of the servant also occasionally looked up to observe Zhu Pingan, found that Zhu Pingan did not notice it at all.

In the eyes of the officer, Zhu Ping An was a very unique superior officer. This servant has been responsible for cleaning the Book Depository for more than ten years, and has seen six or seven Hanlin lords in charge of the Book Depository, and this is the first time that I have seen a Hanlin like Zhu Ping’an who holds a book and doesn’t let go of his hand.

When the servant was sweeping the floor in front of Zhu Pingan, he found out that he was sweeping the floor. Only then did Zhu Pingan discover the servant sweeping the floor.

“Oh, Old Li has come to clean again, would you like a cup of tea?” Zhu Pingan put down the tea cup in his hand and asked with a greeting. He had already met the errand boy in charge of sweeping in the morning and knew this errand boy surnamed Li.

When Zhu Pingan went upstairs. Specially brought a few extra teacups with him, just so that when someone came up to find himself, so that he could pour tea for others at any time. Old Li is responsible for cleaning the Book Depository, every day to clean, but also hard, drink a cup of tea to moisten the throat just but.

“Lord Zhu don’t say that, I can’t afford it.” For the first time, Officer Li saw a superior officer who took the initiative to greet himself, and was so gentle, like a nagging family friend, without a sense of distance. For a moment, he was somewhat flattered.

“What’s there to be ashamed of, there are only a few of us in the Book Depository, and we’ll have to rely on your help more in the future.” Zhu Pingan smiled calmly and said, then lifted the teapot and poured a cup of hot tea onto the windowsill, “It’s all the tea issued by the courtyard, so let’s just make do and drink it.”

“How can this be good, thank you Lord Zhu, you can’t make it in the future.”

With such a cup of tea, Old Li felt that his waist, which was tired and sore from sweeping the ground for most of the day, was no longer sore, and his back didn’t hurt anymore. Sweeping the floor also does not gasp, he has been in the Hanlin Academy for so many years, but he has never met a Hanlin Grand Master like Zhu Ping An who does not have a frame of mind like this. The previous Hanlin Grand Masters either tilted their heads to the sky or looked at people with their eyes lowered. Even if there are occasional occasions when he is polite and courteous, it is the first time that he has no frame like Zhu Ping An.

“You’re busy, don’t mind me.” After Zhu Pingan finished pouring the tea, he moved the chair to the place where Old Li had cleared, said a word to Old Li and then plunged back into his book.

Zhu Pingan held the book in his hands and read it fascinatingly, the book was a book on ancient crime solving. In this book, Zhu Pingan saw a lot of crime solving techniques and methods that were applicable in ancient times, in addition, the book also gathered a lot of classic allusions to crime solving. In ancient times, crime solving did not always rely on torture, of course, more than thirty per cent of the crime solving stories in this book have a torture plot, either light or heavy, but there are still a lot of crime solving techniques. In this book, Zhu Pingan was greatly inspired and had a preliminary understanding of the ancient methods of solving crimes.

One of the interesting allusions in this book was about a governor who had mastered lip-synching and relied on it to crack many complicated cases.

Under curiosity, Zhu Pingan put the book in his hand back to its original place, tried to follow the Hongwu Zhengyun to check the volumes on lip-speaking, and then he really found a book, which was categorised into the aspect of skills.

“Lip-speakers, using the eye instead of the ear, and seeing instead of hearing, the Wei people of the Spring and Autumn period, Ear Ai was good at it ……”

This volume introduces lip-speaking, and it also summarises almost all of the information related to lip-speaking into the volume, in which Zhu Pingan flips through a very mature material on teaching lip-speaking. The Yongle Grand Dictionary was like this, it did not write anything, but rather it copied down the records on this matter in various canonical books, and even the whole book, stating which book, which volume, and who it came from, which could be described as “a narrative without writing”.

This lip-speaking teaching material is from a book called “The Biography of an Eloquent Man”. Lip-speaking is a kind of performance by a storyteller to attract the audience, and this kind of lip-speaking skill comes from a person called Ear Ai from the State of Wei in the Spring and Autumn Period, and a lip-speaking teaching material summarised after hundreds of years of evolution.

This lip-speaking teaching is very detailed, mainly through the other side of the face and lip movement to decipher the language.

The book explains in great detail that the situation, the amount of noise around the person, the person’s speech habits, dialect, lighting, distance, etc. are all elements of lip-synching that affect the language, and the book responds to this in different ways. In this book there is also a list of categories of people who are best at learning to lip-sync: those who are stoic, well read and reticent are the best.

It seems that he is very suitable for it, Zhu Pingan hooked the corner of his lips, then why not learn it, the art is not overwhelming, and the lip language seems to be really useful it, just listening to it is very high feeling.

Thanks to his almost unforgettable memory ability, Zhu Pingan quickly finished flipping through this volume of Lip Language, putting the book back to its original place, summarising and digesting the teaching of Lip Language in his mind.

Lip-speak was actually not difficult, after understanding the principles it was mainly a matter of practising more and practice makes perfect. This set of lip language teaching materials was not difficult, and it did not take long for Zhu Pingan to basically master the skills related to lip language as described in the book.

Although Zhu Ping An had mastered this very mature set of lip-speaking skills, it could not be said that Zhu Ping An had mastered lip-speaking. Lip-speaking was a skill that required constant accumulation of contacts, Zhu Pingan had only mastered the method for the first time, in order to truly read and understand lip-speaking, Zhu Pingan still had to practice more.
