Before you know it, it's July, and the weather outside is hot and you can't wear long sleeves and trousers, and the farmers who can't stand the sweat have rolled up their sleeves and trouser legs to relieve some heat.

However, scholars who pay attention to etiquette can't do this, so thin shirts made of silk have become hot sellers, and the result is that an ordinary scholar's thin shirt costs five or six dollars of silver.

Scholars want face and etiquette, so they wear silk shirts.

Farmers don't use it, but when it comes to the scorching summer, "kudzu yarn", which is simple and has a good effect, has become the favorite choice of thousands of people.

This perennial herb, fiber can be used to weave yarn, is one of the most clear and cool materials, since the pre-Qin era, we Chinese began to rely on Gebu to spend summer.

In later generations, the vests, shirts, shorts, and skirts that filled the streets were the same in ancient times, and the difference was only different materials.

A close-fitting undershirt with twine, sandals or straw sandals, and a straw hat made of bamboo or straw on top of the head is the fashionable attire of a farmer walking in the fields in the hot summer.

"Zhao Dagou, it's so hot outside, why are you still going out?"

The dog who had just found a straw hat and was about to go out was seen by Wang Hou, who was lying under the big tree to enjoy the coolness, this guy jumped up, blinked in front of the dog and asked, "Are you going to play in the water?" ”

The dog glanced at him, shook his head and said, "What kind of water to play with, I'm going to the academy!" ”

"To the academy?" Wang Hou frowned and said, "Isn't the academy closed today?" Why are you still going to the academy? You're definitely going to play in the water, and if you dump me to play by myself, it won't work. ”

Since the weather was hot, the creek pit in front of the back gate of Luyuan Academy was full of babies of all sizes every day, one by one, regardless of the scorching sun in the sky, playing happily in the water, until they were coaxed ashore by the master carrying a thin branch.

Although the day in July is hot, the water temperature in the stream is not high, and the little baby jumps into it to play, and it is easy to be irritated by the cold water in the lower layer of the stream, and then run the stomach to diarrhea.

"Playing with a ball of water, don't you see me holding a book? Wet with water, Jin Lao will definitely blame me to death. ”

"Blame you?"

Wang Hou glanced at the book under the dog's arm and said with a smile: "Such a tattered book can be worth a few dollars!" ”

"If you don't learn, you can't do it!"

The dog didn't bother to explain to him, rolled his eyes, dropped a sentence, pushed the door and walked out.

"Hey, you Zhao Dagou, I don't learn anything, fourteen, you said that his book is so broken, it can be worth a few dollars! He actually said that I don't know how to learn! ”

Hua 14 turned over from the fork of the tree, looked at the departing dog and the angry Wang Houdao: "I heard the old man in the village say that the more shabby books of this kind, the more valuable they are, just like those martial arts cheats, that is not read many times." ”

Hearing him say this, Wang Hou, who was originally unhappy, instantly regained his composure, looked up at Hua Fourteen on the branches, and said mysteriously: "We are going to take the martial arts test, do you say that there are any cheats on the art of war in the books in the academy?" When the time comes, we will find it, and it is not easy to learn one or two simple martial arts. ”

Hua Fourteen was stunned, closed his eyes and thought about it, the corners of his mouth were crooked, he grabbed a horizontal branch, turned over and jumped, and came to the ground smoothly and said: "I heard the dog say that a few days ago, the academy bought a lot of books from outside, there are two large boxes, I think there are so many books, maybe there are one or two books on the art of war inside!" ”

"yes!" Wang Hou slapped his face and smiled outside the door: "Or let's ......"

"Hey, hey, hey! Let's go! ”

The scorching sun is in the sky, but fortunately there is a straw hat to cover it, although the hair will be covered by the hat and sweat, but the coolness brought by it can make the cheeks less hot and painful.

"A new language is actually divided into two volumes, and so is this Jin Mugen, and he actually bought the next book and didn't buy the first volume, what a stupid brain can do, can it be said that he will become stupid when he becomes a relative?"

The dog who muttered while walking, completely unaware of the two sneaky shadows behind, walked all the way, complained all the way, and when he arrived at the academy, his already hot head was dazed, and he glanced at the closed door, and he couldn't bear to wait for the door to wake up naturally from the nap, so he stretched out his finger and knocked the door.

Knock knock knock......

The sound came into the courtyard, but no one answered, and the dog knew that the door was a snooze, so he had to keep knocking.

Knock knock!

The hurried knock on the door continued, but there was still no sound inside, and the angry dog roared at the top of his voice: "Dead old door, sleeping dead dog, don't open the door quickly!" The master is stunned by the sun, so don't come and open the door soon! ”

The sharp voice, in the quiet moment of the lunch break, naturally transmitted very clearly, the door hiding in the school building to take a nap finally heard, closed his eyes and carefully distinguished, heard the voice of the dog, had to sit up helplessly, kicked his shoes and walked to the door and complained: "I said puppy, I finally stopped class for a day, you are not at home to rest, why did you come to the academy?" ”

"What can you do!" The dog complained: "It's not Jin Mugen's stupid talent, buy a book, only the lower part has no upper part, what does this make me think!" By the way, where is he, I'm going to change him! ”

Menzi yawned while opening the door and said: "Hey, what a big deal, you look at the second half first, and then you have to look at the upper part when you turn around, and you can run on this hot day." ”

This idiot, what kind of bastard is he talking about, reading is not work, and how can he know what the lower part is talking about without the first half.

Glancing at the self-righteous doorman, the dog didn't bother to take care of him, so he said: "Don't talk nonsense, where are the others?" ”

"Where can I go!" Stout muttered: "I followed the dean and the master to the county school, saying that there is another book in this imperial examination, so that the gentlemen will listen to it." ”

ran over from afar, but the person didn't say angrily: "No, this book will be given to you first, and you will hand it over to him when he comes, and ask him to hurry up and find the upper part for me!" Remember? ”

The stout man took it with one hand, covered his mouth with the other, and said, "Don't worry, dog, brother, I have never made a mistake in doing things, and when he comes, I will definitely send the book to him." ”

The dog hummed and reminded again: "The book was given to him, let him send me a book quickly!" Remember, it's the upper part! ”

Menzi promised again and again, sent the dog away, and the man went back to the house, lay down on the ground again, glanced at the book next to him, opened it at random, and looked at it twice, it was all words composed of pen and ink lines, muttered a ghost drawing symbol, and stuffed the book into the back of his head, used it as a pillow, and fell asleep on it.

Snoring, slept until I was hungry, opened my eyes and it was already dark outside, patted my belly and got up, said that I was hungry, and walked towards the door, and soon came back, picked up the book on the ground and said to myself: "It's good to remember!" ”

The person continued to go out, and when he saw Jin Mugen and his family in the back kitchen, he muttered a sentence at the corner of his mouth, and threw the book to him: "Old Jin, this book dog gave it to you!" ”

When Jin Mugen heard the shout, he hurriedly pulled his hand out of his skirt, looked up and saw that it was Menzi, scolded secretly, took the book he threw over, and said, "The dean hasn't come out yet, what are you starving ghost doing first!" ”

"What can you do, you can't hold your mother-in-law and laugh like you!"

The stout disciple pouted and said: "Quick, give me a few cooking cakes, I will take them and leave early, I will not delay the two of you flirting and scolding, and you are still ......in a hurry with Xiao Langjun when you are old."

"Shut your dog's mouth, grab the cake and leave! Don't forget to go farther! Jin Mugen threw him four cooking cakes and said angrily.

"Cut, I'm too lazy to watch!" Menzi glanced at Xiang's sister-in-law, who blushed cheeks, and slowly left while biting the cooking cake.

Jin Mugen stared at his figure and walked away, coughed, spat on the ground and said, "Foolish, where do you understand the good of a woman!" ”

After saying that, he was about to sit back and recuperate, but the old beauty was not happy and pushed him out.

Jin Mugen died a few times but still failed, so he had to leave depressed with the book, and happened to meet the old master Jin who came out of the house on the way, so he heard him ask:

"Mugen, can the book I asked you to go out to print can be printed?"

"What book?" Jin Mugen was stunned.

Seeing this, Old Master Jin knew that he had completely forgotten, so he shook his head and complained: "You, you, always forget, forget it, you give me the book, I am just about to go out!" ”

"Going out? You're not eating? Jin Mugen asked.

"No, I made an appointment with a few friends, now I have to go over, by the way, you go to the back kitchen and tell Sister-in-law Xiang that you don't have to wait for me for lunch, you eat by yourself!"

As soon as Jin Mugen heard the music, he was thinking about finding a reason to renew with her, and now it's okay, the reason is legitimate.

"Okay, Dalang, I'll go talk to him."

"Well, you give me the book first!"

Jin Mugen patted his head, handed him the book under his arm, turned around and ran to the back kitchen.

When the old master saw it, he shook his head and smiled, opened the book and looked at it, and saw that the book was wrong, and was about to ask him, but he saw that the person had run away without a shadow, so he had to return to the house, put the book on the desk first, and walked out with his hands behind his back.

A quarter of an hour later, he walked in with a black bag and muttered, "It's stupid to buy the wrong book!" ”

So he put the books on the table into his baggage, wrapped them, and walked out of the door.

When he went out on a hot day, he was naturally anxious, and Mr. Jin was in a hurry to meet his friends, so he only explained to the printer casually, and then went out and walked towards the restaurant.

The printer took the burden and muttered, "Only the new ones are printed, and the old ones are not old!" So he took the book to the back shop workshop.

"Master Jiang, this is the book to be printed by Luyuan Academy in front of me, hurry up and print it tomorrow!"

Master Jiang, who was wearing calf-nosed pants, wiped the sweat from his forehead, took the book he handed over, glanced at it casually, his mouth was amazed, and the apprentice next to him was puzzled and asked, "What's the matter, Master, what kind of book is this!" Is it hard to print? ”

Master Jiang snorted, put it away, glanced at him and said, "Little doll who is not an adult, don't talk too much!" ”

After saying that, his expression changed, and he said obscenely: "What a book for stealing incense and stealing jade!" Hey, hey, hey! These scholars are really romantic! ”
