"Dai'er, I taught you so much, and you didn't study hard, today I have the right to be a gentleman and teach you what I have learned, okay?"

Shen Xi pulled Lin Dai back and asked her to sit on the bench with Lu Xi'er, like two well-behaved students, while he himself took out the "Analects" he had learned, and taught the above sentences and words to the two according to the content on it.

In the past, Shen Xi taught Lin Dai to write, all of which were to teach a single word, and suddenly taught a large section of the content of "Zi Yue", not to mention Lu Xi'er, who looked cute with wide eyes, and even Lin Dai, who was much older, couldn't understand a word.

"Brother Shen Xi, what do you mean?" However, Lu Xi'er has a talent for learning, so if she doesn't understand, she can ask directly.

Shen Xi is really not easy to answer now.

As mentioned earlier, because it was not easy to read in this era, students could drop out of school at any time, and the Analects was a compulsory textbook for the imperial examination, so the Analects were generally used as an enlightenment reading material for Mengtong, so that Mengtong could read it and use this book to learn new words.

The Analects is rich in content, concise and concise in its thoughts, and contains the way to observe people, the rules of self-establishment, the way of benevolence and filial piety, the teaching of etiquette, the way of governing the country, and the way of learning, which has a strong enlightenment for the development of Mengtong's mind and the establishment of his outlook on life, but it is still somewhat difficult for children to understand.

Because of this, the schools in those places with developed economy and rich cultural heritage usually take the "Three Hundred Thousand", that is, the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Text" as enlightenment teaching materials, and some scholarly families will even add various books such as "Mengtong Xun", "Prodigy Poems", "Learning", "Filial Piety Classics", etc., which are freely chosen by Mengtong.

But all this will undoubtedly greatly increase the burden on the Mengtong family in the remote Ninghua County, so the teacher simply came to a knife and directly adopted the "Analects" for enlightenment.

"Well, I'll teach you something else, called the Three Character Classic, and you can read it with me...... At the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away......"

Shen Xi used an easy-to-understand and catchy reading material like "The Three Character Classic" to teach the two loli, and the effect immediately became much better.

Although Lu Xi'er is old, she is very smart, Shen Xi taught her a few words, and she can recite them immediately. After carrying it, he still pulled Shen Xi's clothes, ¢¢¢¢, m.∞.co◎m

style_tt(); He asked with a smile, "Brother Shen Xi, am I carrying it well?" ”

Shen Xi glanced at Lin Dai, who was a little lost on the other side, and knew that it was not wise to praise another Lori in front of one Lori, he just touched Lu Xi'er's head, and did not evaluate whether it was good or bad, but said, "Xi'er, can you go back and give it to your mother?" ”

"Okay."

Lu Xi'er happily agreed.

Subsequently, Shen Xi demonstratively wrote the first two sentences and six characters of the "Three Character Classic" to the two loli, and the two loli drew gourds in the same way, but it still took half an hour to write the words accurately.

Seeing that the time was not early, Shen Xi hurriedly led the two loli to the pharmacy for dinner.

Coming to the alley outside, Shen Xi suddenly couldn't help but shudder, and a feeling of being peeped at came to his heart. He pretended to be casual and led the two Lori's to continue walking, but the corner of his eye glanced at the alley. At this time, there are people looking around, and they don't look good.

Near the entrance of the alley, there were several half-grown children playing with sandbags, and two girls next to them were kicking shuttlecocks, and this person's eyes were more on the girls.

Shen Xi thought to himself, could it be a kidnapper?

There are a lot of abductors in these years, but there are few abductors and trafficking girls, because even if someone wants to buy a child, it is to inherit the family incense. As for those who take the initiative to sell their sons and daughters, but they are all sold to large families to be slaves and maids, and they usually sell their bodies to sign a deed for ten or twenty years, which is equivalent to raising their own children with rice from large families, and the children will not be able to regain their freedom until they are about 30 years old.

"Xi'er, let's go. Dale, you should hurry up, too. ”

Shen Xi doesn't care whether this suspicious person is a kidnapper or not, although the back alley is still safe, but in the end, it is difficult to resist if he has thin arms and thin legs.

When he arrived at the door of the backyard of the pharmacy, Shen Xi glanced out again, the people at the entrance of the alley had already left, and those children were still dignified, laughing happily from time to time, and they didn't notice any danger at all, so they breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although it seemed that he might just pass by by accident, Shen Xi had a feeling of thorns in his back, and concluded that the person was either a traitor or a thief, and he must have bad intentions. But what is it for? What's the picture? He didn't come up.

In the next few days, Shen Xi didn't see the stranger who was standing at the mouth of the alley before, and his heart settled down a little.

This day is the Laba Festival, Ninghua County is very lively, and the business in the pharmacy is also very busy.

It's almost the end of the year, and the school is about to take annual vacation, because Mr. has to take an assessment, Shen Xi basically doesn't go to the pharmacy to help under the pretext that he is busy with homework on weekdays. However, on the afternoon of Laba Festival, Shen Xi had to go to the pharmacy, because there were too many people who came to ask for medicine, and the two women of Zhou and Hui Niang were really busy.

What Shen Xi had to do was not complicated, that is, to help Hui Niang receive the guests, let them line up, and step forward to grab the medicine in turn. If there is not enough medicine in the drawer of the medicine cabinet, Shen Xi will also have to get it from the backyard warehouse, and he will be so busy that his feet will not touch the ground for a while.

People who come to Hui Niang Pharmacy to ask for medicine, whether they are poor or rich, Hui Niang treats them equally, but fortunately, people are quite conscious and do not engage in specialization. But there will always be exceptions, no, there are two officials from the yamen, and the prescription in their hands is not to cure diseases and save people, but to replenish the kidney qi of the tiger and wolf.

After the two entered the pharmacy, they didn't line up at all, and went straight to the counter to let Hui Niang grab the medicine, and the people who had been waiting for a long time next to them didn't dare to do anything even if they were indignant.

"Two poor masters, there are two flavors of medicine that need to be replenished from the warehouse, why don't you go to the inner hall and wait for a while?" After Hui Niang read the prescription, she said respectfully to the two officials.

"Hurry up, the end of the year is busy, we are in a hurry to go back on an errand, if you miss the job, can you afford it?"

Even if Hui Niang is now a well-known figure in Ninghua County, the lowly businessmen of this dynasty are not worth mentioning at all in the eyes of these officials who originally had a more lowly status but held a certain amount of power.

Hui Niang hurriedly went to the backyard to rummage through the two uncommon medicinal herbs in the recipe, and the two servants sat down on the bamboo chairs in the inner hall proudly, shouting that they were thirsty.

Shen Xi had to put down the work in hand, hurriedly went to the backyard stove to bring a large teapot, and sent a teacup to pour tea for the two.

"Listen, a few days ago, a few Jinyi guards came from the south, wandering around the boundaries of our Tingzhou Mansion, and even our county seat has been here, as if they are looking for someone."

After drinking tea, the older officials had nothing to say.

The younger official leaned over and said in a low voice: "I met them when I was out of the city before, and I heard that a few months ago they escorted a group of prisoners to the north, and as a result, they lost people on the ground of our Tingzhou Mansion. ”

"Originally, according to reason, if you report suicide or death from illness, the top will not be investigated, who knows that this time the top will actually have to investigate thoroughly, whether they want to see people in life or see corpses in death, they can only run back to find someone."

After that, the two seemed to think that their voices were too loud and worried about being heard, so they bit their ears and whispered.

Shen Xi came out with a large teapot, wondering in his heart whether the people he saw at the entrance of the alley that day would have something to do with what the two yacha said.

In the Ming Dynasty, after an official committed a crime, the female dependents of the family were often assigned to the Department of Education.

Shen Xi couldn't figure out who committed the crime and what it was, but he vaguely felt that this matter might be related to Lin Dai, because Lin Dai, Lori, usually talks and does things with a sense of mystery, and always cries after falling asleep at night, and doesn't say a word about the previous things when she wakes up.

The only thing that can be explained is that Lin Dai is likely to be a prisoner, and she was found by her own mother and son on the way into the city in Shuangxi Town after she ran away on the road.

After the two yacha left, Shen Xi did not show the slightest abnormality...... He didn't want Hui Niang and Zhou to worry when they knew about it, and the best way was to ask Lin Dai quietly in private, but he also knew in his heart that even if he asked, he might not be able to know the answer.

In the evening, the two families get together to eat laba porridge.

Lu Xi'er is the happiest person at the table, running around the table when eating porridge, eating two bites and then running again, Hui Niang can't pull it.

"Mother, I want Brother Shen Xi to teach me the "Three Character Classic", Brother Shen Xi is amazing." In Lu Xi'er's eyes, Shen Xi is like a god-like existence, no matter what, he is the best brother of Shen Xi.

Hui Niang sighed: "Then you have to eat first, and when you grow up, you can learn things from Brother Shen Xi." Come over and eat, you see your brother Shen Xi is also eating. ”

"No, Brother Shen Xi is looking at Sister Dai'er."

Shen Xi blushed a little, because thinking about the previous affairs of the government office, Shen Xi unconsciously always looked at Lin Dai, and was unexpectedly noticed by Lu Xi'er's sharp eyes.

Shen Xi thought to himself, it is really a child's words.
