Chen Ji shook his head slowly, and then praised sincerely: "It's a businessman who can do business, Xiao Ran, dozens of big money." Then he picked up the book from the cabinet, squinted and smiled, "Reading is too expensive, ten years of cold windows, be careful...... Well, that's all for you! ”

The bookstore guy was stunned and suddenly laughed, "Childe said that he was funny, Childe is an interesting person." ”

Chen Jifu shook his head again and took a few steps out of the way, watching Xiao Ran reluctantly give ten big money, and then said goodbye to the store.

The bookstore guy delivered it to the door and said, "Welcome to Childe again." ”

Chen Ji took a few steps and waved his hand when he heard the sound, "Don't you dare to come, the store is technical, and you can't appreciate it." "The pace is faster, and it really means that I have run away.

The guy was stunned, and sang with the surroundings: "Our store is new to ......"

Walking out for a distance, Chen Ji turned around, looked at Xiao Ran, and said: "Ten big money, Xiao Ran remembered that I will eat sugar gourds three times in the future." ”

Xiao Ran laughed, and stepped forward to take the scroll in Chen Ji's hand.

Chen Ji shook his head, "It's not small, I'll carry it." ”

After swaying all the way, half an hour later, the master and servant returned to Chen's house, simply freshened up, Chen Ji changed into a wide robe, carried a delicate small pot to the courtyard, leaned on the bamboo chair, and listened to the bamboo waves. In the flower stand of the new base in the corner of the wall, many flowers and plants that had just been transplanted in recent days wilted their heads, and they were in poor spirits like his master. In the pond on one side, the water surface has sunk a lot in view of the fact that Chen Ji has jumped over it, and a lot of aquatic plants have been moved to the edge, making a simple guardrail.

A few new lanterns hanging under the eaves were cut by Chen Ji a few days ago and woven by hand, which looked a little irregular and looked extremely bulky.

Most of the things in the yard were rearranged later, disrupting the original layout, probably so that the heart could be more stable. At several key nodes, I even went to the Taoist Buddhist temple to ask for some talismans. The original bedroom also broke through the wall for him and re-set the functions. The nine-curved bridge that came from the corridor also changed direction.

After returning home, Xiao Ran boiled hot water and tea for him, cleaned up the clothes that Chen Ji had changed, and went out to wash them. Probably also panicked, searching and picking up to find something to do.

No matter what the reason, when Chen Ji was studying, there was nothing left in this courtyard except for the spring breeze.

Closing the volume of "Eight Great Texts", Chen Ji flipped through the newly purchased volume of "Selected Essays for Children's Examinations", starting from the most basic composition format. Maybe he really wants to achieve something, or maybe he just wants to pass the boring time, Chen Ji looks very seriously, of course, the center of the first time is still on "literacy" and "broken sentences". It was only after reading it for the second time that I really started to analyze and memorize the composition format.

This volume of "Selected Essays on Children's Examinations" in addition to the selection of children's essays in the counties of Qingzhou Prefecture in recent years, there are also some articles from other prefectures and counties, and after the collection, each article has a special literary bigwig personally commented, and it is the "excellent model essay of the new concept composition for primary school students" in later generations.

After understanding the most basic format, you have to focus on the Four Books and Five Classics, supplemented by the two volumes of "the best local composition" guessing boss Li Jiqing, and the special, targeted "calligraphy and ink exam questions", which generally have a clearer understanding of the mode of the exam. Then there is the long process of "reading the book thick, and then reading the thin". In two years, he should be able to spell out an identity as a lifter, and as for the identity of "Jinshi" further up, Chen Jida gave up from the first day he woke up.

Of course, there should still be an attitude to have, but it is to adopt a Buddhist attitude of "sometimes you must have it in your life, and you can't force it at all times in your life".

It's not that Chen Ji is arrogant, but the current atmosphere is like this, and it is quite difficult for him to reach this level with his half-ass. There is no reason to spend a lot of time on such an insignificant thing, which is simply extremely irresponsible for one's own life.

The breeze was blowing, and the boy on the back of the chair fell asleep.

Xiao Ran walked in from outside, saw this scene, put down the wooden basin in his hand, rushed into the house and took the blanket and covered it gently.

Childe has worked hard in his studies.

Xiao Ran moved a small stool and sat next to him, his hands folded on the small bamboo table, his head resting on the back of his hands, blinking his eyes and staring at the son who was sleeping sweetly in front of him, and after a long time, he also smiled shallowly and privately.

The spring breeze stirred, Chen Ji woke up leisurely, and saw Xiao Ran's little head lying on the table, listening to the slight breathing sound, exhaling like an orchid, but it was cute.

Seeing that it was still early, Chen Ji lifted the blanket, got up and went to Xiao Ran's side, warmed up, and hugged Xiao Ran, probably really tired, and he didn't wake up. Chen Ji carefully sent the person back to the room, tucked the quilt, and tiptoed away.

Stretching his waist, he noticed the clothes that had not been dried in the yard, and walked over there.

The sun is skewed, and the courtyard wall blocks some of the sunlight. Chen Ji then moved a chair and chased the sun to another wall, and after sitting down, he felt uncomfortable, so he got up and went out again, tossed and moved a tandoor, a bundle of firewood came back, and then went back to the house to get a kettle for boiling water......

When he made a fire to make tea, the sun reached behind the courtyard wall, and the warmth gradually receded, and the coolness hit. A moment later, a voice rang out outside, shouting, "Go water, go water." Chen Ji looked up and saw that the servant had already rushed to the door with a wooden bucket, and was ready to splash water with the bottom of the bucket with his right hand.

Relatively wordless.

Chen Ji picked up the teapot and threw a piece of firewood into the stove, and said with a smile: "Come and sit and have a cup of tea." As he spoke, he got up, took the tea tray and began to work.

One after another, the Chen family rushed over, almost chasing after them, "Where is it?" Or ask, "Why are you stunned, fighting fires!" ”

When he reacted, he saw Chen Ji Shi Ran sitting on a small bamboo stool, the teapot in front of him was spraying hot air, the lid of the pot was undulating, and the sound was crisp, and the flames in the stove occasionally burst out, and when he couldn't see it, there were bursts of green smoke around the wind.

It's not embarrassing to panic. Everyone thanked Chen Ji for leaving tea and went back with wooden barrels.

Chen Ji couldn't help but sigh that he was really loyal.

It's just that the ability to make tea still needs to be sharpened.

Uh, it's hot.

The breeze was slow, and Chen Ji stuck out the tip of his tongue and lowered the temperature.

As for the afterglow of the sun, Gui Chun and Shen Qiu came back from outside, and when they saw a messy yard, they thought they had gone to the wrong place.

Under the courtyard wall, Chen Ji waved his hand and said with a dark face: "Help collect clothes......

——

The moon falls in the atrium, and the bamboo shadow is sufficient, falling on the stone slab in fine pieces. Around the clay stove, several people in the west chamber of the Chen Mansion sat down, talking about the "walking water" thing during the day, Xiao Ran bowed his head weakly, like a child who had done something wrong, and was reluctant to speak.

Because she fell asleep on the edge of the table, this is what happened later.

First, there was smoke in the yard, so that the outside people mistakenly thought that it was water, and then Chen Ji made tea by himself. The most upsetting thing for her is, of course, Chen Ji taking care of her in turn, which makes her very sad. When I woke up, I counted myself down several times, and I just ate a few random bites of dinner.

Chen Ji didn't talk as usual, probably chatted a little bit about it, and then asked Shen Qiu to go to the house to get a pair of Go, saying that there was a new way to play.

Gui Chun went to the main room earlier to reconcile the accounts, and he would hold the account book and chat with Chen Ji about something. Chen Ji instructed Xiao Ran and Shen Qiu to play chess, and asked Gui Chun a few words from time to time.

"The affairs of the village, Gui Chun, don't publicize it first, watch and listen more in private, and it is best to find something useful. One thing the master said is right, everyone has known each other for many years, and when some things really have to be done, human feelings and principles have to be in hand. ”

"After I went to school, I didn't care much about the things at home, and you tried to have a number in your heart about what was hidden. After finishing my studies, I will meet with Comrade Chen to get an idea! ”

Then he said some simple ways to check the accounts, and Chen Ji sighed twice, "Stupid, don't block it quickly." ”

Shen Qiu scratched his head and smiled.

Chen Ji turned his head, Gui Chun's face was serious, and he was a little bitter and hateful.

"Be relieved, it's not a big deal. I just can't get used to seeing things that should have fallen in my pocket taken away, and if I don't give me half of my filial piety, I will have to carry infamy in the end. ”

Gui Chun grinned, "Childe, I'm still worried. ”

Chen Ji patted Gui Chun on the shoulder, "Let's play chess." But he said no more.

The teapot clattered, and occasionally sparks popped out and crackled. With the sound of babbling, the moonlight warmed up.

Chen Ji taught the three little guys to shrink behind their backs. At first glance, the days to come will probably be short like this.

It's a little boring, but it's not annoying.

The voices of the three little guys came, Chen Ji shook his head and smiled, looking through the wall, there were faint lights rising under the night over there, but after all, it was too faint and did not enter the starry sky.

Chen Ji has also begun to really accept his current identity, but this process does not seem to be as easy as he imagined, so that sometimes it always gives people a feeling of split personality......

Having said that, life is really good now.

Chen Ji leaned back, his body resting on the back of the chair, and the voices of the three little guys on the side came intermittently, and he felt a little sleepy in a daze.

Between the heart lakes, there is also a spring breeze, which is warm and warm.

Sensing that Chen Ji was silent, the three of them stopped what they were doing and quietly stood on the side, their eyes looking at each other, not sure whether they should step forward and shake the person awake.

The night fell, and a shallow spring thunder swept over from far and near.
