After coming out of the main room, Eleven Niang dragged Brother Jin and immediately chased after Xu Boyan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The study of Xufu is usually forbidden for children like Jin Ge'er to enter, not because the study has any family secrets, but the movable type printing technology of this era has only been implemented for a few years, and a large number of printed books are limited to the subset of scriptures and histories, and many other books are circulated by copying, and it is difficult to find them back if they are broken, so the study is generally forbidden for children to enter.
Although this uncle is usually serious, he is still very good to Shi Niang, and after finding out the Nine Domains of Chu State, Xu Boyan said kindly: "Shi Niang, take a look again, is there any book you want." ”
There are only two shelves of books in this study, most of them are subsets of scripture and history, and there is no regularity in the placement, Eleven Niang is cheeky to look through them one by one, and Brother Jin thoughtfully stepped forward to act as a scholar and help her get the good books.
Xu Boyan has been studying the Four Books and Five Classics for more than ten years for the imperial examination, so most of his study is this kind of book, and Shi Niang flipped through it for a long time, and finally found the "Three Kingdoms" and "Southern History", "Northern History", "Sui Book", "Tang Book", which are the books she urgently needs to read. "Erya" and "Shuowen Jie Zi" are dictionaries and dictionaries, she wants to take them a little, but when she sees that there is only one copy in the study, she doesn't dare to take it, thinking that she will ask Mama Li to buy it outside tomorrow.
After picking, Eleven Niang stepped forward a little shyly and said, "Uncle, can you lend me these books?"
Xu Boyan looked at these history books in amazement and asked, "Eleven Niang, can you understand these books?"
Eleven Niang nodded and said, "There are a lot of words in it that I don't recognize, but if I don't understand, I can ask Mr. or Fourth Sister." ”
"Hehe, your fourth sister has only read three hundred thousand, and her words are estimated to be similar to yours!" Master Xu pointed to these books and said: "And these are all history books, do you know what history books are?"
Eleven Niang wanted to nod, but as a 7-year-old child who had just learned to read and write, if you tell others that you understand history books, people don't treat her as a monster!
So she could only shake her head.
Xu Boyan asked suspiciously: "Then why did you pick these books?"
Eleven Niang pointed to the cover and pretended to be innocent: "The words on it are beautiful!"
There are inscriptions on the five books, indeed iron and silver hooks, strong and powerful, it just so happens that these five books are he and a book friend to buy, the inscription on it is his friend's, that friend sage book did not read much, but practiced a good hand.
Eleven Niang added: "Mr. Qin always says that my words are not good-looking, so I want to practice according to these words." ”
These books were a bit expensive more than ten years ago, but now there are many printed copies on the market, so they have become worthless, so Xu Boyan said very generously: "Okay, you take it back and practice it well!"
Then Xu Boyan turned around and preached to his son: "Brother Jin, you also have to learn from Eleven Niang, practice more words, words are like people, do you know, practice words correctly, people will naturally be upright!"
Brother Jin responded perfunctorily, and then pulled Eleven Niang to quickly escape from the father who was going to become a Tang monk.
Eleven Niang took Xiaoxing to move the book back to the summer garden, and when she opened "Three Kingdoms" and was about to read it, Mama Li suddenly came in.
Because Eleven Niang doesn't like to be disturbed by reading, there are only Eleven Niang and Mama Li in the inner room at this time, seeing that Mama Li has a different look from usual, Eleven Niang asked, "Mama, what's wrong?"
Mama Li held a cloth bag and walked over and said, "Miss, the old slave has something to show you here." ”
Mama Li put the cloth bag on the table, slowly opened the knot on it, and after the cloth was lifted, Eleven Niang saw the words "Qi Min Technique", she chuckled in her heart, thinking that this would not be the "Qi Min Technique" mentioned in the history books of later generations.
"What is this?" Eleven Niang cast a puzzled look at Mama Li.
"Miss, this is the fourth grandmother's ancestors handed down, the slave is illiterate, and I don't know what it is, after the death of the fourth grandmother, according to custom, it should have been incinerated as a relic of the fairy, but the slave thought that the fourth grandmother valued this book very much, and usually put this book with the private silver, so the slave hid the book, thinking that when the young lady grew up, he would hand it over to the young lady for safekeeping. ”
Eleven Niang thought that this hand-me-down book would tell people about the great principles of life like "Historical Records", so she took the book and took a look.
This is a manuscript book, the cover is a little damaged, but the inner page is intact, the second page is the table of contents, showing that the book has a total of ten volumes, Eleven Niang saw this catalog, and suddenly her heart jumped wildly, she turned directly to the volume seven sixty-four, and saw that it was written "Wine-making method: whole cake song, five days of sunning, three days to cure it with a broom, and the order to make it clean." If it is a good day, you can ...... it for three days"
Oh my God!
Although she is a traverser, but in this completely agricultural and manual era, and as a woman, even if she wants to make changes, her ability is limited, with the blessing of this treasure book, she will add some materials to it, and then you can do any business if you want to do it in the future?
It's done! It's done!
Seeing Shi Niang's excited face, Mama Li asked anxiously, "Miss, Miss, is this book important?"
Eleven Niang hurriedly grabbed Mama Li's hands and said, "Important, important, of course important! Mama, this book is more important than all my mother's dowry!"
Speaking of which, Eleven Niang couldn't even control herself, gave Mama Li a big hug, and praised her in her mouth: "Mama, you are so smart that you will leave this book!"
"Alas, my little ancestor, can you tell the old slave what is written in this book that makes you so excited?" Mama Li also became curious.
Shi Niang let go of her, pointed to the first volume, and said to her: "The first volume: plowing the field, harvesting seeds, planting grains, and the second volume of soybeans, adzuki beans, and planting hemp ......"
Hearing this, Mama Li understood, and she said: "Miss, I thought it was some kind of treasure, isn't it related to farming? You might as well ask Lao Zhoutou, he has cultivated our 100 acres of land!"
"Alas, Mama, there is not only farming, but also winemaking, I finally know why my mother opened a winery, alas, but unfortunately I still have a lot of words that I don't recognize, and when I learn all the words, I must read this book seriously and deeply!"
"Okay, you read, Mama will go and prepare lunch for you first. ”
Mama Li turned around and went out disapprovingly, but she didn't know that her young lady started with this book, and many years later, the Xu family became the richest man in Chu State.
