Still the same as yesterday, the group barely rested at noon, took a tip, ate some dry food snacks, and rushed to the booked inn early to rest.

Today's settlement is a larger town, the inn is also very large, and Steward Zhou has chartered a large courtyard with two entrances, which is enough for everyone to live.

At the end of winter, he waited for Li Xiaonuan to finish bathing and washing, combed his hair again, changed into clean clothes, waited for Li Xiaonuan at the end of winter, and went to the main house where Mrs. Li lived.

Outside the house, Mrs. Zhou was watching the girl prepare dinner and refreshments, and when she saw Li Xiaonuan coming in, she smiled and motioned her to enter the East Chamber.

In the east chamber, Gu Xiao sat on the couch next to Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li hugged him and listened to him with a smile on her face, Gu Yunshan sat on the armchair in front of the couch dignifiedly, smiling and drinking tea.

Li Xiaonuan came in, smiled and bent her knees to greet Mrs. Li, Mrs. Li smiled and beckoned and said:

"Tired on the road, aren't you? Come, sit here, and listen to Xiao Er, you memorized the surnames of the hundred families and the thousand-character text well yesterday, which shows that you usually use your heart. ”

Gu Yunshan gently put down the cup in her hand and looked at Li Xiaonuan with a smile, Li Xiaonuan bent her knees slightly, saluted Gu Yunshan, and then walked to the couch and sat sideways on the edge of the couch.

Gu Xiao looked at Li Xiaonuan with a smile in his eyes, and said affectionately:

"Sister Xiao Nuan, I was talking to my ancestor about our class yesterday, did you memorize the ten lines of the three-character scripture that the master asked you to memorize yesterday?"

Li Xiaonuan smiled and nodded, Gu Xiao's eyes crooked and he laughed,

"Sister Xiao Nuan, mine is also memorized, I have memorized it just now, the ancestor praised me, and the master will definitely praise me today."

Li Xiaonuan looked at Gu Xiao with a smile on her face, and listened carefully to what he said, while Gu Xiao was talking, the little girl standing at the door lifted the curtain, Gu Yun entered the house with a smile, and Mrs. Zhou also followed behind, and said with a smile:

"Mother, the meal is ready."

Old Madam Li straightened up, stroked Gu Xiao's shoulder, and said with a smile:

"Then let's eat now, after eating, you two brothers and sisters will go to the master to go to class, we Xiao'er are still waiting for the master's praise!"

Everyone laughed, Mrs. Zhou stepped forward to help Mrs. Li, and the group went outside, sat on the left and right, ate quietly, and drank a cup of tea.

Gu Xiao went out, paused, reached out and took Li Xiaonuan's hand, and pulled her to the front yard.

Wang Fuzi heard that Gu Xiao and Li Xiaonuan had memorized the book, and instructed Li Xiaonuan to read the next ten lines, and wrote a few words and threw them to her to paint red, so he ignored her anymore.

Wang Fuzi carefully explained the book to Gu Xiao, took Gu Xiao to read the following text a few times, watched him practice the words for most of the hour, and sent the two back.

Gu Xiao went out, stretched out his hand to lead Li Xiaonuan, looked down at her, and said seriously:

"Sister Xiao Nuan, it's dark outside, don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Li Xiaonuan drooped her shoulders, and Ren Guxiao, who was full of helplessness, squeezed her hands tightly and pulled her to the inner courtyard.

"Gu Xiao ......"

Li Xiaonuan called vaguely and shouted in a low voice, Gu Xiao paused and turned his head to look at her,

"What's wrong with Sister Xiao Nuan?"

"Well, have you read a lot?"

Li Xiaonuan looked up at Gu Xiao and asked, Gu Xiao restrained his smugness, and tried to look flat and said:

"I haven't read a few books, but I haven't read the seventh."

"And what kind of books do you read?"

Li Xiaonuan stared at him and asked, Gu Xiao let go of Li Xiaonuan, and counted with his fingers:

"Hundred family names, thousand-character texts, three-character scriptures, dragon text whip shadows, disciple rules, thousands of family poems, now I am reading Qionglin in kindergarten!"

Gu Xiao finished counting, and then held Li Xiaonuan's hand tightly, sighed like a little adult, and then said:

"If it weren't for my father's death, I would have read the eighth book by now!"

Li Xiaonuan looked at Gu Xiao with a smile in her eyes, and sighed softly:

"Ancient ...... Xiao, you read so many books! I haven't seen the shadow of the dragon whip, the disciple rules, what does the thousand poems look like! Ancient...... Xiao, do you have all these books? Do you still want to watch it every day? ”

Gu Xiao stiffened his face and tried to pretend not to care:

"Of course there is, I've learned all these books, you don't have to read them every day, Sister Xiao Nuan, don't be discouraged, in the future, as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to read as well as me!"

Li Xiaonuan choked, bit her lip hatefully, pulled Lagu Xiao, and said in a low voice:

"I want to see your book!"

Gu Xiao paused, looked down at Li Xiaonuan, and said sincerely:

"Sister Xiao Nuan, those books are difficult! You've just read the Three Character Classic, and you won't be able to read those books! ”

"I want to see it!"

Li Xiaonuan hung his head, insisted in a low voice, Gu Xiao looked at Li Xiaonuan with tolerant eyes, took her hand, and nodded while walking towards the courtyard and said:

"Okay, I'll have someone send it to you, if you don't understand, come and ask me, and I'll teach you."

Li Xiaonuan returned to the room, and after a while, there was a gentle knock at the door, and a gentle and clear female voice called softly:

"Late winter."

At the end of winter, he hurriedly stood up, looked at Li Xiaonuan, and explained in a low voice:

"It's Sister Juying."

As he spoke, he walked to the door in two steps, opened the door, Ju Ying was dressed in white, smiling, standing at the door prettyly, handing the cloth bag in his hand to the end of winter, and said with a smile:

"This is what the young master asked me to send to Miss Table, and I will hand it over to you, so I won't go in and disturb Miss Table."

At the end of winter, he hurriedly took the cloth bag, and Ju Ying turned around and left with light steps.

At the end of winter, he handed the cloth bag to Li Xiaonuan, Li Xiaonuan touched the heavy books inside through a thick layer of cotton cloth, turned his head to look at the end of winter with a smile in his eyes and asked:

"Whose girl is Sister Juying?"

"It's the big girl in the young master's room, she was originally a second-class girl in the old ancestor's room, the big girl in the young master's room Qiu Yun got married the year before last, and the old ancestor pointed her over to wait for the young master, and Sister Juying is also thirteen this year."

At the end of winter, Li Xiaonuan handed the cloth bag in his hand to Mama Wei, and asked with a smile:

"How old is Sister Late Winter this year?"

At the end of winter, he drooped his shoulders, sighed long, and said with some melancholy:

"Alas! Twelve! ”

"What about Bilian and Sister Cuilian?"

"Sister Bilian is fourteen years old this year, and Sister Cuilian, like Juying, is also thirteen years old. Alas! ”

Late Winter sighed again, and Mama Wei looked at Late Winter a little inexplicably and asked:

"Okay, what's the sigh of the girl at the end of winter?"

"Sister Late Winter sighed, it's because Sister Bilian, Sister Cuilian, and Sister Juying are only one or two years older than Sister Winter, alas!"

Li Xiaonuan squinted at the end of the winter, and said in a gentle tone, in the end, learning from the end of the winter, sighed heavily, the end of the winter turned around, blinked, looked at Li Xiaonuan in a daze, hesitated for a moment, and then asked tentatively:

"Girl, I don't understand this at the end of winter......"

"Alas!"

Li Xiaonuan sighed heavily, tilted his head, looked at the end of winter with regretful eyes and said:

"Sister Late Winter is smart, capable and beautiful, if she is a few years younger, and when those sisters get married, Sister Late Winter will definitely be able to be promoted to a first-class girl, maybe, she can also get two taels per month! Alas! ”

Li Xiaonuan sighed again, opened her eyes wide at the end of winter, opened her mouth slightly, and looked at Li Xiaonuan blankly, only to come to her senses after a while, and hurriedly turned her head to look at Mama Wei, who was looking at Li Xiaonuan in the same daze as her, and then turned her head to look at Li Xiaonuan, who was still sighing one after another, and was speechless in a daze.
