Chapter 008: East Chamber
Yuan looked at Lu Shuo and frowned for a while and was annoyed for a while, his little appearance was so cute, he couldn't help but be a mother, touched his head lovingly, and said softly: "What do you want? Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Lu Shuo didn't want her to know her little entanglement, and she couldn't think of any good reasons, so she simply pretended to be a child again, played a scoundrel, ran to Yuan's side, and snuggled into Yuan's arms.
Lu Shuo feels that a four-year-old child is a little doll that has not yet grown up, and he has always been able to do the tricks of being coquettish and stupid. But he hasn't realized that his coquettish appearance is very much like a girl, although he has always been stronger in his previous life, stronger and more independent than boys, but the girl's nature in his own bones has not been completely wiped out. And in ancient times, a four-year-old child was already the age when he could go to school, and he was considered half a little adult, if he was in another official family, he would be despised, and the elders always expected boys to be sensible and stable from an early age, so that they could achieve great things in the future. It's just that the Yuan family has not had children for more than ten years, and they have always loved him tightly, so I think Lu Shuo is cute everywhere.
Yuan picked up Lu Shuo, tapped his head, and said, "Little slippery head, when will you grow up?" Thinking of the fact that Lu Yun was going to take Lu Shuo to the third brother's mansion to apprentice and enlighten the day after tomorrow, and remembered what Lu Yun said, a loving mother is a loser, and she must not spoil Lu Shuo Yunyun, Yuan has her own plans, so she whispered to Lu Shuo: "Brother Shuo, my mother will clean up the east wing room today and let you live there, okay?"
Let Lu Shuo live alone, first, the room is more spacious, you can get him a separate study, and it will be very convenient for him to read and learn words in the future. The second is to arrange it in the east wing not far away, which is close to it, so it is convenient for him to take care of it, and then send a reliable mother-in-law, he can rest assured, and in the future, whether Lu Shuo moves to the outer courtyard or goes to study abroad, he has the ability to live independently and control his subordinates.
Lu Shuo was a little surprised, but more happy, living under Yuan's nose every day, he had to pretend to be a child every day, he was really tired, but thinking of Yuan's love for him, he was a little reluctant.
Lu Shuo nodded, seeing that although Yuan was smiling, he was a little sad, so he deliberately said childishly: "My sister has lived in the West Wing by herself, I am so old, I have long wanted to live alone." ”
Yuan sneered, and the girls and mothers in the room also laughed. Jade said with a smile: "Sister Ying is still young, and she needs to be taken care of by the nurse, so I want to give her a separate place to live, but my brother still wants a nurse." After speaking, he felt a little out of his mouth, and when he saw Yuan Shi glancing at himself, he closed his mouth suddenly.
Yuan ignored her, and continued: "When you settle down, you will be enlightened and study." The east wing is spacious, and faces the garden, when the time comes, the southernmost room will be cleaned up for you to make a study, a window is a lake, and quiet, the scenery is good, very suitable for reading. After a while, the warehouse was opened, and you went to choose with Zhou's mother, what to put and how to furnish it, it was up to you. ”
Lu Shuo felt that the Yuan family really doted on him too much. Lu Shuo couldn't help but think of his own mother, who was also like this, no matter what he asked, he tried his best to meet them, and he had a lot of joy in his childhood. It's just that her happy marriage only lasted a few years, and she was forced to have children until she died of depression. How similar the Yuan family is to her, Mrs. Lu is also extremely dissatisfied with her, but she is just luckier, with Lu Yun's husband. Lu Shuo thought that this was the fate between them, but he was a little ashamed of his previous ill-intentioned speculation about the Yuan family.
Yuan said that he would do it, and he didn't want Zhou's mother to lead him, so he took Lu Yun's hand and took him to pick it up personally, followed by a group of girls and mothers-in-law, which provoked the mother-in-law who was guarding the treasury to think that she had committed something, but she didn't dare to speak.
Lu Shuo picked some simple patterns, the atmosphere is simple, and the room is bright and open. One lifted a yellow rosewood six-pillar shelf bed, a black lacquered Ruyi pattern Luohan bed, a set of wenge wood furniture carved with flowing cloud patterns, another landscape embroidered screen, and a few ornaments that Lu Shuo looked like.
The new rough envoy mother-in-law came in handy, Lu Shuo pointed out one, and there was no need for Yuan's order, the mother-in-law took out one, and when Lu Shuo finished choosing, it was almost done.
Everyone came to the east wing again, and the mother-in-law first put the large bed, collapse, several and all kinds of furniture in a good position, and then put each ornament in the corresponding position according to Lu Shuo's requirements.
Although the time is a bit rushed, the effect of the arrangement is quite good. The north side of the east wing room is used as a bedroom, and the Ming Hall in the middle is arranged as a living room as usual, and there is a long table in the middle, a table of eight immortals, a Taishi chair on the left and right, a flower stand embedded with a marble screen on the side of the long table, and a porcelain vase with a three-star pattern of Fu Lu Shou is placed in each place. There are two lamp hanging chairs on the left and right of the lower head, and a high table is placed in the middle of the two lamp hanging chairs on each side. The one facing the lake on the south side of the Ming Hall was used as a study, and the two rooms were separated by a Bogu frame partition. The landlord side of the study is facing the lake, the bookshelves and long desks are placed near the window, and the Luohan bed is placed on the west side facing the door.
Lu Yun looked at the layout of the room and nodded approvingly.
When the three of them finished eating, the nurse came in with Lu Shunying, and Yuan led her into the small hall of the west compartment to play and tease Lu Shunying, while Lu Shuo was taken to the study by Lu Yun.
Xiao Shunying's giggles can be heard from so far away!
Lu Shuo was a little apprehensive, still in a tangle, Lu Yun was already sitting on the Taishi chair behind the desk, and Lu Shuo could only stand in front of him.
Lu Yun had a straight face, but he had a rare serious look.
He glanced at Lu Shuo, saw his eyes flickering, his expression was a little nervous, and he couldn't help but ease his face when he thought of getting along with him before.
"You don't have to be nervous. Lu Yun said, "I have taught you to recognize some words in Beijing before, I heard your mother say that you have memorized most of the three-character scriptures in the past six or seven days on the ship, and today I want to take the test for you, and I will answer as much as you know, and I will not punish you." ”
Lu Yun only thought that Lu Shuo was afraid that he would be punished if he didn't answer well. Lu Shuo couldn't cry or laugh a little, but he wasn't nervous, he felt that he was a little embarrassed by the traverser, thinking that in some novels he had read in his previous life, those traversers were frank and unrestrained in the face of big figures such as princes and nobles, and they didn't blink their eyes when they came to the moment of life and death, Lu Shuo couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
It's really more popular than people!
Lu Yun has already continued: "Let's test your three-character scripture first, I will say one sentence, and you will memorize the next paragraph." ”
The endorsement is simple, Lu Shuo nodded, and Lu Yun said: "If the jade is not cut, it will not be made." ”
It's not difficult!" If the jade is not cut, it will not be made. People do not learn, and they do not know righteousness. As a son of man, when Fang was young. Relatives and friends, practice etiquette. Xiang Jiuling, can warm the seat ......," Lu Shuo replied.
Lu Yun stopped, and then said: "The Three Guidelines, the monarch and the minister." ”
"The three outlines, the monarch and the minister. Father and son, husband and wife. Spring and summer, autumn and winter. At these four times, the luck is not endless. It is said to be north and south, and west to east. This Quartet should be in the middle. It is said that water and fire, wood, gold and earth. These five elements are just a number. It is said that benevolence and righteousness, etiquette and wisdom are faithful. These five constants are not to be disordered. Lu Shuo recited it fluently again.
……
"Like a sac of fireflies, like snow. ”
Lu Shuo shook his head and said, "I haven't memorized it here yet, my mother only taught 'Eighteen Legends, North and South Mix'." "Actually, he can probably memorize it later, but it's just not good to perform now.
Lu Yun was already very satisfied, his eyes were shining, and a smile gradually appeared on Duansu's face. He nodded and said, "You're still young, it's good to be able to carry it here." You're good. ”
Lu Yun straightened his back, and then said: "You have to study hard, now that you are in the second room, if you want to get ahead, you can only work hard from the imperial examination." I think I was enlightened when I was three years old, studied hard for more than ten years, and went to the Yuan family's academy in Weizhou to study for a few years. Although we were born in the Jingguo Mansion and have a reliable title for generations, we must not lose our will in the splendid pile. Lu Yun didn't care whether he understood it or not, so he continued: "The future must be earned by yourself, and you can't always worry about the light of your father's ancestors." ”
If the original Lu Shuo might not understand this, the older child Lu Shuo understood Lu Yun's deep meaning. Lu Yun was afraid that his plaything would lose his mind, and he would not want to forge ahead, and he would do nothing in the future, so he complained that he had passed on to the second room and lost the opportunity to inherit the title.
Lu Shuo didn't think so, he was already a very enterprising and self-motivated person, and he was not interested in inheriting the title, although the title sounded very glorious, but the treatment he received still depended on the emperor's mood, this treatment was not about the money such as public land and hereditary property, but the dignity of a courtier. This kind of easy-to-get thing, Lu Shuo always has no sense of security.
As early as when he first came in, Lu Shuo imagined his future life. He knows that the imperial examination is the only way for him, and the fame obtained by the imperial examination is generally for a lifetime as long as he does not deceive the king and the people, and it will not be easily taken away. And in his previous life, Lu Shuo followed his family's arrangement to learn economic and political majors, and he was exposed to the behavior of his grandfather and father, two old fritters in officialdom, so he was very confident and looking forward to entering the imperial examination.
Lu Shuo nodded solemnly and said to Lu Yun: "My son likes to read very much, and he will definitely try his best to read." ”
Lu Yun was very satisfied, looked at Lu Shuo's serious bun face, chuckled, and said, "You are very old now, and you will be five years old when you reach Layue." Your third uncle is also in Cangzhou, and you will see him tomorrow when he comes to the house. He is a very knowledgeable man, and there is a master brought from Weizhou at home, whom I have seen, and is very knowledgeable, and I am going to send you to him to study with your cousin. What do you think?"
Lu Shuo knew that the third uncle in Lu Yun's mouth must be the brother of the Yuan family, Lu Shuo had heard of the Yuan family in Weizhou, which was a very famous Confucian family in this dynasty, and more than half of the scholars had been guided by the Yuan family, so he was convinced of this master's talent. So he tilted his head and deliberately asked, "Is this master very powerful?" Lu Yun should be.
Lu Shuo smiled and replied loudly, "Okay." ”
