Hearing Lin Shan take the initiative to say the words to help him, Shi Yi fell silent instead.

After Lin Shan sat silently with him for a while, he suddenly said again: "When I was eating just now, I heard Ye'er say that you want to read and learn calligraphy, it seems that you still insist on that idea at the moment?" ”

Shi Yi nodded, and said hesitantly: "But my background ...... It's going to be a lot of trouble for me. ”

"For me, the trouble is that it's a bit of a delay." Lin Shan said softly: "Actually, I have also discussed this idea of yours with Jiu Niang, if you want to study, you need to wait for a while, and I will go out to run errands soon, and when I come back, I can arrange it for you step by step." ”

"Uncle Lin, you don't have to be so troublesome." Shi Yi paused for a moment and then said: "Xiao Yi just wants to be literate and able to write, and he doesn't want to be famous. ”

Lin Shan's eyes moved slightly: "Then what are your real plans in the future?" ”

"Doing business." Shi Yi's eyes showed a brief blankness, his eyes gradually settled, and he said: "Although I don't know what kind of business I will do in the future, being a businessman is the ideal I have decided now. ”

"You have this idea, it's not a big problem. Judging from some of the orders and measures issued by the imperial court today, today's son supports and supports business behavior. Now we are in a situation where the troubled times have just passed, and all kinds of waste are waiting for a new situation, and this bias has given the people more opportunities to make a living in terms of people's livelihood. ”

After Lin Shan's analysis, Wen Yan said: "No scholar can be sure what kind of official he will be in the future, it is normal for you to be confused now, but your ambition must be set, if you want to change careers halfway, it will be even more difficult." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Lin, for your teachings." Shi Yi smiled slightly. Then he said seriously: "I have made up my mind to take this road. ”

"That's good." Lin Shan nodded, pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I heard Ye Er say just now that you have learned some of the characters on your own, so you can not go to the private school." In terms of time, I don't have time to arrange the procedures for you to enter the academy, but your requirements are not high, so you can consider entering the grass hall to study and learn characters, which is not very difficult. ”

Shi Yi thought for a while and asked, "I don't know...... How many years does the cottage end? ”

"It's usually a three-year course. But if you have a certain literacy background, you can apply for skipping the level, but you have to pass some exams. Lin Shan paused when he said this, looked at Shi Yi and said with a serious expression: "You are still young now, don't rush forward, since you have enough time, you should lay a good foundation." Although the knowledge of the thatched cottage professors is not as sufficient as that of the shoin, it is still for those who aspire to engage in business. There's still a lot to learn. ”

"Uncle Lin's teachings, Xiao Yi has taken them to heart." Shi Yi replied respectfully.

As soon as the two finished speaking, they saw Mo Ye taking Qu Xia's hand and walking back to the hall from the backyard together. Old man Qu was smiling happily, while Mo Ye glanced at the two people sitting at the same table, and asked curiously, "What did you just talk about?" ”

Lin Shan was about to speak, when suddenly his heart moved. Then he looked at her meaningfully and said, "Let's change, you sue me, just now you were in the kitchen, and you said those bad things about me to your grandfather Qu, I can sue you what you want to know." ”

Mo Ye was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his tone was full of disapproval: "If you don't sue me, I can ask Brother Xiaoyi directly." She grinned again and said, "Master, what I want to know is what I have a chance to know." But you want to know. Even if I say it now in the name of deceitful teachers, it will be a retelling of your bad deeds. Aren't you afraid that another person in this matter knows some dishonorable thing about you? ”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Shan was speechless, and finally he had to shake his head helplessly and said, "I don't seem to have done anything 'dishonorable', right?" Drunk a few times at most. I vomited a little more and cursed, but what is the difference between that situation and people talking nonsense when they are sick? Being told by your rhetoric sounds worse than just saying it. ”

Mo Ye didn't speak, just grimaced at Lin Shan.

However, Shi Yi played the role of a round at this time, and he said with a smile: "Although we have only been together for a long time, Xiao Yi feels that Uncle Lin has an easy-going temperament, and the people who live with you should meet many interesting things." So I think Ye Xiaomei chatting with others about your life must be mostly interesting, not necessarily tireless. ”

"Okay then." Lin Shan glanced at Shi Yi and Mo Ye, then picked up the teacup on the table, moved the lid and blew it, and said indifferently: "I don't care about children as adults." ”

After Lin Shan's voice fell, several people in the room looked at each other and laughed soundly or silently, and the atmosphere suddenly spread out gently.

"Ye Xiaomei, Uncle Lin just said that he would help me study in the grass hall." Shi Yi laughed for a while, and then spoke first.

"That's very good, the thatched hall teaches the master in writing and abacus, although it is rare for students to be able to test their fame, but according to your requirements, it is very suitable for your school." Mo Ye first smiled in agreement, but soon she remembered another thing, looked at Lin Shan and asked, "Master, will this matter delay your time?" ”

"The management regulations of the thatched cottage are much looser than those of the academy, so there shouldn't be a big problem." Lin Shan took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and looked at Shi Yi, and said, "It's just that you may be in a hurry, this matter may be decided in a few days, you go back and prepare a little, wait for my news." ”

"Hmm." Shi Yi nodded.

Qu Xia, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said, "If you lack anything, come to Grandpa Qu to get it." ”

"Thank you, grandpa." Shi Yi smiled and nodded, and after hesitating for a moment, he asked Lin Shan, "Uncle Lin, can I often come here to play with Ye Xiaomei in the future?" ”

"Ye Xiaomei......" Lin Shan softly repeated the title of these three words, and then nodded, "Yes, but please keep Ye Er's identity secret for the time being." ”

"I will." Shi Yi nodded seriously, then looked at Mo Ye, just when he saw Mo Ye smiling, he suddenly felt a warmth in his heart.

In the afternoon, Lin Shan began to clean up the study that had been idle for several years. Because the dust is heavier, all three of them covered their mouths and noses with cloths, so why not four of them? Because Old Man Qu just wanted to get together, he was driven outside by Lin Shan to rest for various reasons.

Qu Xia knew that this was his son-in-law taking care of him, so he didn't insist much and gladly accepted the kindness. But he didn't really sit in a daze, but found a few sheets, covered the furniture in the main hall to keep out the dust, and then he went out to buy groceries.

Shi Yi's body had slight signs of wind chill, and Lin Shan originally asked him to rest on the side, but he first stood in front of a pile of books drying on the chair in the front yard and rummaged through them, and after finding nothing, he moved his footsteps to the study, and talked to Mo Ye about those books.

After flipping through more than a dozen books and talking to Mo Ye one by one, Shi Yi came to a conclusion: the academic level of the books in this room may be several times more than what he can accept, and even Mo Ye, who has read countless books, is confused about the content recorded in these books.

Shi Yi, who had finally given up on the books and turned his attention to the other items in the study, quickly noticed a flat, narrow wooden box resting on the top of a bookshelf.

The appearance of this box is very ordinary, and there are no luxurious ornaments embedded in it, but it is precisely because of the smoothness and smoothness of its whole body that it can catch people's first glance when it is in this dusty study.

However, although Shi Yi was curious about this box, he did not immediately ask this curiosity. On the one hand, this thing does not look like an old thing in the study, and it may have something to do with what its owner has done recently. Moreover, Shi Yi found that when Lin Shan saw this box a few times, the expression in his eyes seemed to contain something he wanted to say but didn't say, which made him pay more attention to and restrain his mind while being puzzled.

After working for more than two hours, the sun was in the west, so Lin Shancai and Mo Ye moved all the books in the study and spread them out in the front yard. At this time, I saw that the places in the front yard that could put things were full of books, and occasionally the wind rose, and the pages of the books turned over on their own, which made Qu Xia, who had returned from shopping for vegetables, really stunned for a while.

Lin Shan, who has moved in and out more than 100 times, looked around the sea of books in the front yard, and was not ready to go out after a break.

Mo Ye couldn't help but sigh in her heart, seeing that her master was so busy, she was embarrassed to mention the thing that Lin Shan promised to take her shopping yesterday.

After Lin Shan left, Mo Ye was silently in the front yard, patting the dust accumulated on those books one by one, some of the books may not have been turned for a long time to guide zhì damp, picked up in the back of the hand is a stiff board, patting it is also conducive to loosening the paper.

Qu Xia helped for a while, but in the end he was separated by Shi Yi, Mo Ye looked at Shi Yi suspiciously, and heard him suddenly ask, "Little Sister Ye...... Oh, no, I have to call you Brother Mo Xian for the time being, I want to ask you a question, I don't know if it's convenient for you to say. ”

"Brother Mo Xian...... What an old-fashioned title, we are all scholars, it is better to be called a brother. Mo Ye smiled slightly, stopped what he was doing, and continued: "What kind of problem, you actually have to avoid Grandpa Qu to say it?" ”

Seeing the hesitation in Shi Yi's eyes, she had to say again: "It doesn't matter, if I know the answer, I will definitely sue you, you say!" ”

Shi Yi tightened his lips up and down, and finally spoke: "What is the real name of the emperor of this country?" ”。 (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation
