Chapter 3: Big Brother and the Library

The eldest sister said: Diligence can make up for clumsiness. Let me not envy my eldest brother, as long as I am willing to work hard, I will definitely not be worse than others. But the eldest brother is really smart, and the husband learns everything very quickly, is there really a person in this world who is born to know? Also, What is Tom Sue aura? ――

Excerpt from My Codex

The children of the Chu family were enlightened at the age of five, so that they knew the history of etiquette.

"Young master, it's time to get up."

The personal maid pulled up the bed tent and woke up Chu Lingfeng who was sleeping, and there was a team of little maids holding water basins, tooth powder, towels and other utensils, serving Chu Lingfeng to wash after dressing.

The whole process was quiet and very organized.

After a bowl of bird's nest with a moderate temperature was put into his stomach, and he drank a bowl of hot milk specially ordered by the eldest sister, Chu Lingfeng took a string of little servants and the old mother out of the Zhengshou Residence where he lived and walked towards Wenxuan Pavilion.

Originally, he could have let people walk with him, but the eldest sister strongly objected, so since his enlightenment, he could only walk to Wenxuan Pavilion.

Wenxuan Pavilion is the place where the son of the Chu family studyes, and the Chu family specially hires the great Confucian to enlighten the son of the Chu family. It is very elegant, and there are a lot of Meilan bamboo chrysanthemums that the literati like, coupled with small bridges and flowing water, it is an elegant environment. Turning around a bamboo forest, I saw a bamboo building with a plaque of "To the Study", which is a place for summer teaching. When I walked in, I saw a young man about ten years old, dressed in a fancy costume, sitting on a mat, holding a scroll and reciting.

This young man has not yet grown up, but he has a peerless style, coupled with his handsome and outstanding appearance, he will be a peerless son in a few years.

"Big brother." Chu Lingfeng bowed and saluted.

The young man, that is, Chu Lingxuan, the eldest son of the Chu family's generation, stopped reading, got up and returned the salute, and smiled slightly, which suddenly made people feel that the surroundings were illuminated.

"Little brother, Mr. has not arrived, but you can review what Mr. Xi said yesterday in case Mr. inquires." The gentle attitude and elegant manners perfectly interpret the "humble gentleman, gentle as jade", which makes the little guy who is smart in the corridor in front of the door look admired.

"Thank you, big brother." Chu Lingfeng saluted again, came to the seat on the left and sat down, took out the book and began to read.

Jokhang, the left is respected.

There is a difference between the descendants and the inferiority, and there is a degree of respect and humility.

Even though Chu Lingxuan is the eldest son, his status will always be under Chu Lingfeng, who is the son-in-law.

A moment later, an old man with half a hundred hair walked in, although his hair was gray, his waist was straight, his eyes were sharp and deep, and he wore a Confucian shirt with a sense of righteousness and righteousness.

Guo Xiuming, a notorious scholar, was born in a scholar family and was a side branch of the Guo family in Jiangnan.

After Guo Xiuming came in, he didn't go to the seat in front of him and sit down, but paced in front of Chu Lingfeng, first looked at the words that Chu Lingfeng wrote yesterday, bowed his head slightly, and asked Chu Lingfeng to recite the "Three Character Classic" from beginning to end, and then let him sit down satisfied.

After checking Chu Lingfeng, he checked Chu Lingxuan.

"Zi said. Wealth and nobility are what people want. not by its way; Nowhere also. Poor and cheap. It is also the evil of man. not by its way; Don't go either. Gentleman goes to benevolence. Evil to fame. A gentleman has no end of food between the unkind. The time must be made. It must be so. How do you interpret this sentence? ”

Chu Lingxuan stood up and saluted respectfully, and said, "Mr. Hui." The meaning of this sentence is that making a fortune and becoming an official is something that everyone wants, and if you don't get it by proper means, don't accept it; Poverty and lowly status are hated by all, and those who do not need to be extricated by proper means should not be freed. If a gentleman throws away his benevolence, how can he achieve the reputation of a gentleman? A gentleman does not leave the path of benevolence for a short time, does not leave the path of benevolence when it is urgent, and does not leave the path of benevolence when it is turbulent. "

Guo Xiuming smiled with satisfaction, his attitude was much kinder than Chu Lingfeng's routine, he twisted his beard and said, "Don't be arrogant and rash, don't be complacent." ”

"Yes, follow the teachings of the gentleman." Chu Lingxuan saluted again, his attitude was extremely respectful.

Chu Lingfeng blinked, and in his field of vision, Mr. had "Guo Xiuming (Confucian)" on his head, and "Chu Lingxuan (Woman Wears Man, Tom Su Halo)" on his eldest brother's head.

What is Tom Sue Aura? What does it mean to wear a woman to a man?

Why is there a big brother here, and almost everyone's eyes are focused on him?

Chu Lingfeng couldn't figure out a lot of things, and felt that he should read more books, believing that the books would give him answers. Touching his faintly aching stomach, Chu Lingfeng made up his mind.

In the Chu family, except for the eldest sister and mother, everyone else likes the eldest brother very much, even the father who is the most important and the most important concubine. Although the eldest sister treats the eldest brother better than the second sister, there is always a kind of politeness of "respecting and staying away", Chu Lingfeng himself will have a faint pain in his stomach as soon as he touches this very kind brother, especially when he laughs, so in addition to studying together, Chu Lingfeng can avoid this brother.

The Six Arts of Gentlemen. "Zhou Li, Bao Shi": "Raising the son of the country with Taoism is the six arts of teaching: one is five rites, two is six music, three is five shots, four is five masters, five is six books, and six is nine numbers. ”

Studying in the morning, learning archery and horseback riding in the afternoon, although the Chu family is not a family of military generals, there is also a large martial arts arena, and it also feeds the BMW outside the Saiwai.

Chu Lingfeng was only five years old, with small arms and legs, and lack of strength, it was too early to ride a horse and shoot arrows, and he didn't want to watch the performance of his eldest brother who cultivated both civil and military affairs, so he took leave from the teacher who trained them, and entered the Chu family's library with a large number of servants.

As soon as he opened the door of the library, a stream of dust mixed with the smell of decay rushed to his face, and the old mother immediately pulled Chu Lingfeng aside and took a few steps back.

"Young master, what are you looking for to tell the old woman, let the little maid help you find it, it's so dirty here, young master, you are delicate and expensive......"

"Shut up." Chu Lingfeng scolded unhappily, he was really not interested in talking to these ignorant people. This is a library, the heirloom of the scholar family is different from the Hanmen, and the inheritance is not a treasure and heavy weapon, but a book, more precisely, a variety of precious and unique books.

Because he was a child of the Chu family, he could enter this place, don't look at the library, there was not a single guard around him, but in fact, as soon as he approached here, he felt like he was being stared at.

"Wait here." Chu Lingfeng commanded, and walked in alone.

The stacks were a little dim, there were no big windows to preserve the books, and the walls were inlaid with night pearls enough to illuminate the shelves, and the rows of shelves were not filled with books, but wooden boxes of different lengths and sizes. These wooden boxes are made of Huanghuali, very delicate and very strong, in which a variety of unique or precious calligraphy and paintings are placed, and there is also a package of special spices, which has the function of moisture-proof, insect-proof and antiseptic. A note was attached to the outside of the wooden box indicating the contents of the box. There is also a wooden sign hanging on the bookshelf, which writes the type, name, classification and borrowing of the items in the box, and the criteria and precautions for looking through them.
