Chapter 358: Youthful Memories
Looking at Xuanya's happy expression, Zhanrong smiled and said, "Why are you so happy today? ”
"What do you think I'm bringing with me today?" Xuan Ya sold Guan Zi in a tricky way.
"Did you go to your father's study to steal books again?" said Zhan Rong with a smile.
"You're so clever, what do you think I've stolen?" asked Xuanya with interest.
"Give me a hint! The sea of books is boundless and unfathomable, and trying to guess a book is as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack. Zhanrong said helplessly to the big-eyed girl in front of him.
Xuan Ya blinked her big eyes and said very cutely, "Brother Zhanrong! This book is your favorite to read." Can't you really guess?"
"It can't be 'Historical Records'! Didn't you quietly return it last time?" Zhan Rong guessed.
"Clever! It's this book! Although I quietly returned it last time, I still feel like something is missing if I don't read it for a few days?" casually took out the thick book from his pocket and handed it to Zhanrong.
Zhanrong took it with both hands, it was like a treasure, after all, he loved books like his life, and this book was also his favorite, from the title to the content, he carefully studied it. Twelve books, thirty families, seventy biographies, ten tables and eight books. He studied it carefully. Tai Shi Gong's writing is elegant, neat and neat, the writing is free and easy, and it is even more catchy to read, and it rhymes, reading this book is like a double enjoyment of sight and hearing. He flipped through it with affection.
Xuanya saw that Zhanrong was very interested in this book, and she was also very happy, she liked to see him happy, she knew that Zhanrong liked to read the most, that is, she went to her father's study to steal books again and again.
Father Xuan Xiucai is a person who reads, although he is extremely poor, but he would rather not eat, but also use the rest of the money to buy books, love books as life, that small study, is full of thick books, because the collection of books is quite rich, so this book is less than one can not be seen.
His books are not borrowed, and only he knows the sadness of collecting them. He has entered middle age, no children under his knees, only a daughter, Mrs. died early, father and daughter depend on each other, the old saying is cloudy, useless is a scholar, he has no power to bind the chicken, thin and weak, naturally it is impossible to sell physical strength for a living, only to sell words for a living, plus it is written with a good hand, so the villagers of ten miles and eight villages, who have a red and white happy event, weddings and funerals, will ask their handwriting that auspicious couplet happy words, just to reward some gift money.
The hungry and the full will barely survive. However, although his life was poor, he did not let go of the knowledge of the Four Books and Five Classics for a day, and he was lying on his salary to taste his courage, thinking about being able to carp and jump the dragon gate and gain fame.
However, I will try to count it again to no avail. If you put others aside, you will give up, but this Xuan Xiucai is very determined to gain fame. Therefore, in addition to making a living, he reads day and night, writes at the desk, and works hard. Because most of the time on weekdays is in that small study. Therefore, it is difficult for her daughter Xuanya to steal books. Even many times, when this Xuanxiu is sleepy and lying at the desk, can he sneak in quietly and steal his father's precious books. This "Historical Records" was stolen while his father was asleep.
This Xuan Ya was very indignant in her heart, her father Xuan Xiucai was too deeply influenced by that traditional concept, and deeply believed that this woman was virtuous if she was not talented, so this study was not allowed
Xu's daughter stepped into half a step, and he didn't want his daughter to study, he knew that even if he did, it would be a waste of effort, and women were not allowed to enter the examination room for this examination. It is impossible to gain fame. is planning to wait for her daughter to find a family to marry when she is old.
However, Xuanya has always thought that her father is extremely pedantic, who stipulated that if this woman cannot be tested for fame, she will not be able to read and write, is it true that reading and reading is for fame and fortune? Therefore, it is just a superficial obedience to policies and countermeasures. However, there is no shortage of books to read.
She likes to be with Zhanrong the most, not only because they have a common hobby and love to read, but more importantly, Zhanrong knows right from wrong, and has many unique views, especially the understanding of the content of the book, which is very thorough, of course, she feels that there is a sense of equality and respect in front of Zhanrong. This is impossible to get from the father, and he can only do the housework endlessly. Watching his father study hard all day long, but he was useless.
Zhan Rong agrees with Xuanya's point of view, "I also feel that this book is very well written! I always want to read it again and again." Sister Xuanya: Which passage in this book do you think is most appealing to you?"
After hearing this, Xuanya became interested, and she said without thinking: "I feel that Lin Xiangru is a real hero! It can be said that the prime minister can support the boat in his belly, and people can take care of the overall situation. That's why I admire this guy more. Brother Zhanrong, don't you think this person is amazing?"
Zhan Rong smiled slightly, "Of course, this Lin Xiangru is a real hero, but I feel that in this matter, Lian Po has also done a very good job." ”
After hearing this, Xuan Ya laughed out loud, "Brother Zhanrong, you won't be talking nonsense, right? As we all know, this Lian Po is a small-bellied person, short-sighted, and doesn't think about the overall situation, how can you be optimistic about such a character?"
Zhan Rong threw out his opinion, "I admit that Lian Po has these problems, but who is this guilty person?"
"Of course it's Lian Po!" replied Xuanya without thinking.
Since the protagonist of this guilty petition is Lian Po, it proves that what the author wants to express is that the old general Lian Po will change when he knows his mistakes, have the courage to face his own problems, and have the courage to admit it. You know, it's hard for a person of his level to do that. Therefore, this Lian Po is also a true hero in this matter. Zhanrong explained unhurriedly.
However, Xuan Ya nodded again and again, and she admired Zhan Rong from her heart for looking at the problem from multiple angles, not following the crowd, and having her own unique views and insights.
Thinking of this, Xuan Ya's eyes lit up, and her big eyes blinked at Zhanrong, "Brother Zhanrong, you like reading so much, don't you want to gain fame?"
Zhanrong shook his head helplessly, "Why don't I want to? How can my family be poor, how can I have money for my studies? By the way, how is your father? Is he still so hard-working?"
"Well! My father reads every day without sleeping or eating, except for writing for others! He tried and failed, but his enthusiasm did not diminish in the slightest. Xuanya's dedication to her father is also quite certain. "A lot of things, maybe it's fate! Sister Xuanya: I feel that if your father continues to work hard like this, sooner or later he will be named on the gold list, and it is only a matter of time. Zhanrong just had a bad premonition.
Looking at the handsome and delicate face in front of him, his heart was full of too much
reluctance and regret. He knew what the girl wanted for him, and he knew that her father wanted to get out of this poor life. will not be willing to suffer poverty all his life in this poor country. Although the two of them are now on the same level, their living standards will soon be very different, although he values the lovely little girl in front of him very much, and they have indeed established a deep emotional foundation between them. However, this development of events is contrary to their common thinking. He cherished their time together immensely. I even hope that the days like this will last as long as possible.
A trace of worry flashed in his mind, he really envied Xuanya's carefree appearance that day, she wouldn't think about what would happen in the future, at least she knew that the two of them were very happy together now.
"Sister Xuanya, you steal books so often, isn't your father stunned at all?" Zhan Rong asked curiously.
She smiled knowingly, "Of course I have a way, every time I steal a book, I remember the original location of the book in detail, and when we have finished reading it, I will put the book back in its place while my father is not looking." It is that God does not know, and the ghost does not know, but he does not notice it at all. ”
"Well, you have a way! You stole a book like this, and he didn't find out once. It's a rarity. However, if he finds out, will he beat you?" Zhan Rong was a little worried about Miss Xuan, after all, his father had studied hard in the cold window, and this "Historical Records" was very important, after all, this book involved many contents such as governance, history, and people's livelihood, and it was also the content that was often examined in previous examinations. It is a model that is often referred to by officials of the Ministry of Rites. If his father used this book and found that the book was missing, then he would have to test her.
"That's not good! I feel that in his mind, this book and his fame are much more important than his daughter! Then the consequences are unimaginable, he has always opposed my study, he thinks that women can't get fame, and it's a waste to read. It's better to do more housework. If she finds someone to marry in the future, this woman is virtuous if she is not talented!" Xuan Ya indignantly confided in her father's pedantic concept.
Zhanrong took advantage of the situation and joked: "This concept is good! This girl's family is better at learning more and doing housework than anything else, so that she won't be able to look down on her mother-in-law after leaving the cabinet in the future!"
"You...... You...... You're so unreasonable to me, you're going to be angry with me, and if you say that again, I'll ignore you!" Xuanya said, turning her head to the side, sulking silently. Zhan Rong hurriedly persuaded: "Okay! Okay! I was joking with you just now, you don't have to take it seriously! I know that you have to be strong, unlike ordinary women, you want to hold as much ink as possible in your belly." With this persuasion, Xuan Ya regained her beautiful smile, and she looked at Zhanrong's delicate face affectionately, "Brother Zhanrong, how do you feel about me?"
Zhan Rong listened, he was a little scared, he knew that this girl was going to confide in him about this girl's feelings, so he was a little embarrassed to deliberately avoid, "You are very good! I like to read! I ask for progress! I am not willing to be a family woman, I want to be strong, these are your advantages!"
Xuanya almost laughed out loud when she heard this, these words seemed to speak to her heart. She has a deep affection for Zhanrong, and she is very pleased that this beloved has such an evaluation of herself.
Then he had the courage to ask affectionately, "Brother Zhanrong, do you like me?"
