Pei Zhiyan looked at her for a while, and then smiled slightly: "There is nothing in my house for you to do, you can come to the study to read in the future, and read at least one book every two months." ”

Under Ren Yaoqi's surprised gaze, he added leisurely: "I will come to study you every once in a while, if you don't take it seriously...... I'll let you do something else in the future. ”

Ren Yaoqi was very surprised when she heard this strange "errand" at that time, thinking that this person asked her from Grandpa Lu just to let her read in the study? But it's one thing to be surprised, Ren Yaoqi was afraid that Pei Zhiyan would regret letting her "do something else", so she immediately responded.

Since then, Ren Yao went to the study on time every day to read, ate and rest for an hour at noon, and then continued to go back to the study to read until the hour of the unitary hour, and then went back to his yard to have dinner and continued to read in the room for an hour.

She doesn't dare to be lazy, rather than "doing something else", she is still willing to stay in the study every day with books.

When she was in the study, Pei Zhiyan was sometimes there, but most of the time he was lying on the soft floor reading a book, or sitting by the bookcase to write. Ren Yaochi never took the initiative to approach him, she only sat quietly by the piano case against the west wall, and most of the time she didn't even raise her face. Pei Zhiyan didn't pay attention to her, he never even asked her to grind ink again, and never let her do the work of serving tea and pouring water.

Which book she is reading Pei Zhiyan never interferes, as long as it is the books on the shelves in his study, she is up to her to choose. Ren Yaochi felt that her presence in the Pei family was very low, she only went back and forth between the study and her own small courtyard every day, and there were few people to meet, and over time, Ren Yaoqi felt a lot more relieved in the Pei family. Because during this time in the Pei family, she also secretly inquired, and learned that this Lord Pei had a deep relationship with his late wife, and had never had a concubine and a room, and he had no plans to marry again after Mrs. Pei's death. She thought that maybe Pei Zhiyan asked her to come back, it was really because of a whim.

Ren Yaochi found that Pei Zhiyan is really a very lazy and casual person through a period of time together, for example, he will never sit if he can lie down, and he will never stand if he can sit, his favorite thing to read is to recline on the soft collapse of the study, if he can write while lying down, Ren Yaoqi believes that he will not move to the bookcase to write, Pei Zhiyan does not have the attention of a reader "standing like a pine and sitting like a clock".

Ren Yaoqi once secretly sat on his soft collapse out of curiosity, but found that Pei Zhiyan's soft collapse was harder than the ordinary soft collapse, but it was very comfortable. But she had only sat there secretly, except for the books in the study. She never touched anything from Pei Zhiyan, the drawers and boxes in his study were not locked, and Ren Yaoqi did not take advantage of his absence to secretly look through them. Ren Yaoqi's favorite thing to do when he was at home was to go through the drawers and boxes in his father's study, and once turned out a beautifully painted picture of the Spring Palace.

She thought that people with such a lazy temperament said that they wanted to check her reading, but they were just casual talk, so although she went to the study every day regardless of the wind, frost, rain and snow, she didn't take Pei Zhiyan's words seriously, until she read books in the study for two consecutive months, Pei Zhiyan called her to her side.

"What books have you read in the past two months?" Pei Zhiyan was still leaning on the soft collapse, and when he asked her this, he lowered his eyes and looked careless.

"Miscellaneous Notes on the Journey to the West". "Taiping Yearbook", "Jingshi Collection". Ren Yaochi lowered his head and replied in a low voice.

After reading three books in two months, Ren Yaoqi felt that she had worked very hard, after all, Pei Zhiyan had only asked her to read one book in two months before, so she was not weak when she answered. She has an excellent memory since she was a child, and she reads books quickly, and she can memorize the content without leaving ten.

Pei Zhiyan didn't even raise his head, and turned the page of the book in his hand. casually asked: "In the ninth chapter of "Miscellaneous Notes on the Journey to the West", eight women with different appearances appeared, and what was the name of the one in red clothes. Where do you live and how old are you? ”

Ren Yaoqi stared at Pei Zhiyan in a daze when he heard this, a little dumbfounded.

What kind of mess is this?

Pei Zhiyan didn't hear her reply for a long time, so he took the time to glance at her and said leisurely: "What? Can't answer? Then ......"

Ren Yaoqi was frightened, and immediately replied: "Wait, that girl seems to be called Qin Jiuniang, and she lives in ...... The family lives in Daotian Village, and the age is ......" Ren Yaochi thought about it for a long time with her brows, she thought that her memory was not bad, but she still couldn't remember the age of the girl in red mentioned in the book.

That miscellaneous book is actually a travelogue, each one is not too long, the ninth article mentioned by Pei Zhiyan is only four pages, and most of the characters who appear are just one or two sentences, Ren Yaoqi can roughly remember the name of a little person who only appears once, which is already a good memory.

At that time, Ren Yaoqi's age was still young after all, because he was smart since he was a child, and he learned everything faster than others, so he never suffered any losses in reading and literacy, Pei Zhiyan seemed to want to deliberately make things difficult for her, so she couldn't help but be a little unconvinced when she spoke, although her tone and posture were still very respectful because of the people under the eaves: "Please forgive me for being stupid, I really don't remember the age of the girl in red mentioned in the book, and please give me advice." ”

This is the first time Ren Yaochi has called Mr. Pei Zhiyan, in fact, with a slight unconvincing and ironic meaning. At that time, Ren Yaochi didn't know that she called it casually, and she became the same brother and sister as the current emperor.

Pei Zhiyan looked at her for a while, suddenly smiled, and said in a sincere tone: "Is there any mention in the book that there was a famine in Xingyuan Mansion when she was born?" ”

Ren Yaochi frowned and thought about it, as if he really mentioned such a sentence, so he nodded: "It is indeed mentioned." ”

Pei Zhiyan asked again: "At the beginning of this book, it was mentioned that Zhang Sheng traveled from Kyoto in the third year of Qinglong, because he traveled around on the way and fell ill when he walked to Jinzhou, so it took two years from Kyoto to Lizhou, Qingyuan Prefecture, so what year should he be when he passed by Daotian Village in Lizhou?" ”

Ren Yaochi paused, and said with some hesitation: "It's the fifth year of Qinglong, but it's ......"

Pei Zhiyan ignored her argument and continued: "Since that Qin Jiuniang has reached the age of seeing an adult man blushing and is still a substitute for marriage, then her age should be between ten and twenty years old, the year she was born was one of the years from the fifteenth to the twenty-fifth year of the Zhengqing Dynasty, and during this period, there was only one drought in Lizhou in Qingyuan Mansion when the Zhengqing Dynasty was twenty years old, and now you can tell me again, how old is this Qin Jiuniang." ”

A cold sweat broke out on Ren Yaoqi's head, and he said in a somewhat difficult voice: "Sixteen years old." ”

Pei Zhiyan finally nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, it's sixteen years old, and now you still insist that the girl's age is not mentioned in the book?" ”

Ren Yaoqi: "......"

Pei Zhiyan leaned on the soft collapse and looked at her, with a smile on his face: "Still not convinced? ”

Ren Yaochi bowed his head: "Don't dare to ......"

Pei Zhiyan turned his head to look at her and said, "Because you have a good memory, you think that reading is an easy thing, and you have a little less respect for books." If it is really so simple to read, then it is better to choose the guy in the teahouse tavern, I heard that the excellent guy can not only memorize the name of the dish, but also remember the preferences and taboos of all kinds of guests. ”

Pei Zhiyan put down the book in his hand and sat up slightly: "When you read, you need to think about it, know how to draw inferences, rather than simply remembering the content of the book." Reading is not too much but fine, and some people can't understand the books they have read all their lives, so it's better not to waste this time, and how good is it to have fun in time? If you only read one book in your life, but you can learn from it, that's a good reward. ”

Ren Yaoqi listened, her expression gradually became serious, and she realized that Pei Zhiyan was correcting her method of reading. Before, she was worried that Pei Zhiyan would think she was lazy, so she read a few more books, naturally she didn't pay much attention, but she didn't want to be discovered by Pei Zhiyan, so she asked such a tricky question to alert her.

This time, Ren Yaoqi sincerely bowed his head and said respectfully: "Yes sir, I know that I am wrong." ”

Pei Zhiyan raised his eyes and asked her, "What's wrong?" ”

Ren Yaochi said seriously: "If you are greedy, you can't chew it, Mr. asked me to finish reading a book in two months before, which already made me look at the flowers." ”

This time, Pei Zhiyan was finally satisfied, and while lying back to read his own book, he said in a casual tone: "The son can be taught!" "Miscellaneous Notes on the Journey to the West", "Taiping Yearbook", and "Jingshi Collection", you can read the three books from the beginning three more times. I'll come back to you in three months. ”

Ren Yaochi bowed his head and was about to return to the piano case to read the book, but Pei Zhiyan said: "But you didn't satisfy me today, so ......"

When Ren Yaochi heard this, he couldn't help but stiffen.

Pei Zhiyan paused, and seemed to think for a while before continuing: "So I'll punish you for cleaning the study for three months." ”

Ren Yaoqi breathed a sigh of relief and almost happily accepted the punishment.

Since then, Pei Zhiyan has inexplicably become her husband. With her will, she read the book for two years by herself, and she will be examined once every two months, and there is no reward for answering well, and when she can't answer, she will be punished to do all kinds of work, and Ren Yaoqi also went to the garden to pull weeds.

After grazing sheep and grazing like this for two years, Pei Zhiyan began to gradually choose her own books to read and also assigned some books to her, but Ren Yaoqi only likes to read books such as travelogues, wild history, and market interests, and she is not very interested in other books.

Once Pei Zhiyan designated her to watch "Famous Ministers Economic Record", she really couldn't stand it, so when she answered the question, she was a little bit wrong, Pei Zhiyan was not satisfied, she unconsciously said: "I don't want to take the top prize, see what to do!" ”

Pei Zhiyan was not angry, but lazily waved his hand to punish her to go to the toilet.

Pei Zhiyan only said one sentence and let Ren Yaoqi stop talking: "I am a gentleman, you are a student, and I naturally have the final say in academic matters." If you don't like this way of getting along, let's change it? ”

Ren Yaochi felt that she should go and read the "Famous Ministers Economic Record" carefully...... (To be continued......)
