Coming out of the west gate of Zhangjia, it is the Yangzhou Xincheng River embankment, and you can go to Yangzhou Slender West Lake along the Xincheng River embankment until the end.

In the early morning, the light rain was dripping, Lu Zheng was wearing a white straight robe, his hair was pulled up, and he was fixed with a purple and gold crown of his hair.

Qi Biao followed behind him, the shadow was holding an oil-paper umbrella beside him, the little girl was carefully picked, her eyes were handsome and her eyebrows were trimmed, and she was smart and forgetful between her expectations.

Lu Zheng just walked forward casually, and his aura could deter pedestrians.

Hengwu Academy is a place where Lu Zheng must go every day, everything is inferior, only reading is high, Lu Zheng will start reading from the simplest "Hundred Family Names" now. He still can't read the Four Books and Five Classics, the ancient books have no punctuation, they are all traditional characters, and the sentences are not clear, where can he understand it?

On the earth, he is not a genius, and he is not afraid of jokes, "Hundred Family Names" encounters those cold surnames such as "Tuo" and "厍", he really doesn't know it, so he can only use reference books.

He also can't memorize the "Three Character Classic", and he also has cold words in "Thousand Character Text" that he doesn't know.

Thousands of high-rise buildings from the ground, he can only start learning from the basics now, but fortunately, in half a month, these three books are basically thorough, memorized, and can write silently, and today he can read "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment".

The books of the Dakang Dynasty are really very expensive, a set of four books and five classics is complete for more than 40 taels of silver, even if it is a book like Xunmeng's "Hundred Family Names", a book also needs two to three taels of silver.

Although Lu Zheng has one or two hundred taels of silver in hand, he has to give some rewards every day, and the consumption is also amazing, and the little money and silver he gets from the Zhang family every month is not sure that he can get it, and he has already spent dozens of taels of silver to buy the four treasures of the study, so he is really short of money to spend money on buying books.

Therefore, he came to the bookstore every day to read, but all the words he didn't recognize were checked in the bookstore "Xinde Dictionary", and then he forcibly memorized the books he had read, came back and wrote them silently, and then took them back the next day for comparison. This method can not only make rapid progress, but also save money.

Of course, he can't buy nothing, otherwise where would he go to the bookstore every day? No matter how high he is, there is a limit to people's patience, so every once in a while he will buy a book back, and the books he buys can only be popular readings such as "The Legend of the West Chamber" and "Peach Blossom Fan".

He really can't read classical Chinese, and a book of four books and five classics costs more than forty taels of silver, and a twenty-four history costs more than one hundred taels of silver, and he is only enough to buy a set of books with all his worth! There is also a complete "Xinde Dictionary" that also requires more than a hundred taels of silver, and his current financial resources really can't think about it.

"There are a lot of words to check today, and it takes a lot of effort!" Lu Zheng couldn't help muttering.

"If you didn't study well back then, it will end up now, if you had been good at literature and literature, you would be so embarrassed? Will you even use a dictionary with a disadvantage? ”

As a modern person, Lu Zheng has a great difficulty in learning ancient Chinese, and a single Xinde dictionary has made him suffer enough. A set of "Xinde Dictionary" has a thick 12 copies, which are identified according to the twelve earthly branches.

Moreover, the method of looking up words is completely different from that of Xinhua Dictionary, and the phonetic pronunciation of the word is not pinyin, but the phonetic transcription method is used. Lu Zheng used the "Xinde Dictionary" for the first time, and only found two words for most of the day.

The shadow walked quietly beside Lu Zheng, helping him hold the umbrella, and a look of disdain appeared on his face more and more.

"Oh my God, I can't use the "Xinde Dictionary", how unlearned and unskilled this is!" Shadow kept shaking her head in her heart.

Countless times, she couldn't help but want to say something, but when she thought about her current situation, it was because of too much talk, so she closed her mouth again.

Lu Zheng, this guy, may not be able to study, but cunning and treacherous is first-class, what if he falls into this guy's trap again?

"There's definitely a trick to using a dictionary! It's a pity that without the guidance of a teacher, it was really difficult for me to explore it on my own! Lu Zheng muttered again.

His eyes suddenly looked at the shadow and said, "Shadow? Do you have any insights? ”

"Ah......h......h I didn't have ......"

Lu Zheng frowned slightly and said: "Actually, girls are the best to read, I think it's pretty good when you read "The Legend of the West Chamber", read more on weekdays, and your temperament is naturally elegant and noble, don't you say?" ”

"Huh?"

Shadow's face turned even redder, and her heart "Poof!" "Poof!" of the jump.

She has a kind of embarrassment and embarrassment of stealing things and being caught, she is really a big idler in the West Corner Courtyard, usually Lu Zheng's diet and daily life are taken care of by three girls and two old women, and she doesn't need to do a little bit of internal and external things.

She is also a person who likes to read, and when she was on the ancestor's side, she played with Baoyi girls every day, or read, or guessed riddles, or composed poems, and her life was comfortable and nourishing. When she arrived at the West Corner Courtyard, she felt like she was in prison.

At the beginning, she was worried that Lu Zheng would have bad intentions for her, and she thought that if it didn't work, she would look for death and life, but after a few days, her vigilance in this area gradually weakened, and the rest was boring.

That day, she just took advantage of Lu Zheng to take a shower and secretly read "The Legend of the West Chamber" for a while, but where did she get her hands when she read it? Every day, I stared at the book from afar, wishing that I would turn into a little bookworm and burrow into the book.

With the first, there is a second, and with the second, there is a third. The first few times she could do it without Lu Zheng noticing, but where could she be perfect every time?

Now that this matter has been broken by Lu Zheng, she is really embarrassed and ashamed, and she can't wait to find a hole to drill into.

In a panic, she suddenly thought of Lu Zheng's question just now, and when she changed the topic, she said:

"The third master, there is a song in the practical "Xinde Dictionary": 'One or two sons are looking for it, three paintings ask Chouyin, four are in Maochensi, five noon and six are not declared, seven are eight or nine Xu, and the rest of the Hai is saved.' Memorize this phrase and index by radicals, and you will get twice the result with half the effort, and it will be very easy to use! ”

"Ahh Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, silently recited the song recipe recited by Ying'er, remembered it firmly, and then high-fived and praised: "Okay, Ying'er didn't see that you are really a talented girl, just this song recipe solves the problem that plagued me for half a month!"

In the future, with you as a woman, I will have no worries if I want to study again! ”

Lu Zheng's words were quite sincere, but how could Ying'er have ever heard such words? Although she is talented and intelligent, the little thing she learned is shallow after all, not to mention, limited to her identity, even if she has something extraordinary, she has to hide something, and she can't compare Brother Hao with Miss Baoyi, right?

Therefore, she has never been praised as a talented woman, besides, she just said a sentence of the song recipe of "Xinde Dictionary" that Meng Tong understands, and she is called a "talented girl", she really can't bear it.

It's like Lu Zheng reading "Hundred Family Names" every day, and a few casual girls such as Si Qi flattering him every day that he is a scholar, which sounds absurd and funny.

However, Lu Zheng's next sentence, Ying'er was really happy, Lu Zheng said: "Ying'er, since you live in the West Corner Courtyard, you can read generously if you want to read on weekdays, you can watch "The Legend of the West Chamber", "Peach Blossom Fan" can also be watched, and "Peony Pavilion" can also be watched!"

Don't believe those rotten people who say that these books are some kind of obscene books, even if you read more, I don't say it, if you don't say it, who can know? ”

Ying'er's disgust towards Lu Zheng weakened a lot in an instant, she thought that she had come to the West Corner Courtyard, and she was afraid that she would not live long, but now it doesn't seem to be the case, although Brother Lu Jiazheng doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, but his temperament doesn't seem to be bad!

"Also, if you want to go out on weekdays, you can go out as much as you want. We will come out to Hengwu Bookstore every morning in the future, and you can go out in the afternoon. When I go to Guanjing Mountain in the morning, I don't need you to accompany me, I just call Si Qi when I turn around! Lu Zheng said again.

He is in a good mood, Ying'er has really read books, has been educated in ancient orthodox private schools, and has a foundation in reading exegesis in the four books, Lu Zheng knows that he wants to get the opportunity to enter the school in the Zhang family, but he doesn't know that he has to wait until the Year of the Monkey Ma Yue, he has to seize every opportunity to study now, there is such a shadow can help him, how can he not make the girl happy?

The relationship between the two eased, all the way to the door of a quaint building on the top of the mountain, looking at this building, at first glance it looks like a big hall, but look at the huge plaque at the door, which reads four words: "Hengwu Bookstore", this is a prosperous place in Yangzhou.

On the Xincheng River opposite the bookstore, the gorgeous painting boats are extremely magnificent, and looking at these luxurious painting boats, you can probably imagine how prosperous it should be at night.

Strictly speaking, this is the second largest red light district in Yangzhou, but in the morning, it seems quiet, all night long, at this time, the pretty women on the painting boat are still lying in the bed!

Lu Zheng stopped, walked to the embankment, looked at the turquoise Xincheng River, admired the luxury and gorgeousness of the painting boat, everything in front of him was so harmonious and quiet, in another thousand years, where would there be such a scene on both sides of the Xincheng River?

"Oh, is the handsome little Langjun in a daze again? Are you thinking about drinking a basin of sisters' footwashing water? The sliding window of a golden painting boat with vermilion lacquer carved beams was suddenly opened, and a head poked out of it.

Melon seed face, cheeks condensed Xinli, good looks, it is the spicy energy that makes her less temperamental, and she is about twenty-eight years old, and she yells at Lu Zheng!

"Hey!" Lu Zheng waved at her.

"Whoa! The little fart child, the hair has not grown, so he has learned the temperament of a prodigal brother, and he only has the foot washing water for you to drink! With that, the girl put her head back, and a basin of water splashed out of the window.

Lu Zheng was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Just say hello, girl, don't think too much, I am inferior in everything, only reading is high!" After Lu Zheng finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards Hengwu Bookstore.
