Zhao Lan suggested: "If you are afraid that you will not be able to remember, you can use it to write it down, so it doesn't matter if you forget it, just take it out and take a look." "In the past, I used to take notes at school and work, and it didn't matter if I understood it or not, it was important to write it down. Anyone who has gone to school can still not take notes. Xueba's notes are the most popular. Although we didn't become a top student, we can take notes.

Old lady Liu then ordered: "Go, get a pen and paper." Fu'an, who was standing next to him, hurriedly bowed down. I also bothered Gu Liang to write it down. Master Liu said politely to Zhao Lan.

Zhao Lan looked at Master Liu and said generously: "I can't write." "Words are understanding, and writing may also be written. However, the brush words have no face. Thinking about the Zhao family's background, Zhao Lan should not be able to write. Therefore, Zhao Lan can only say that he can't write.

Master Liu looked at Zhao Lan in cotton clothes and finished speaking, his face did not show any shame, he had a good impression of Zhao Lan in his heart, and couldn't help but admire Zhao Lan's honesty and heartiness. Old lady Liu subconsciously put down the shelf and said, "Oh! Looking at what the old man said, he didn't think about it. Gu Liang spoke slowly, and the old man wrote it down himself. ”

Zhao Lan replied sweetly: "Thank you Grandpa Liu for your understanding!" ”

"Good eloquence, good honesty." Master Liu praised Zhao Lan with a smile.

"Don't dare to be a compliment to Grandpa Liu." Zhao Lan also said with a sweet smile.

Looking at the paper and pen on the table, the old lady Liu, who seemed to think of something, said to Fu'an: "Fu'an, go get pen and ink and some paper and give it to Guliang." "Brother Ling is knowledgeable, but you can't be a sister who can't be illiterate!" After speaking, Master Liu took out a small brush from the pen holder, Zhao Lan looked at the unpolished ink, and immediately picked up the ink strip next to her with her left hand, and held the cuff of her left hand with her right hand, grinding the ink in a circle unhurriedly. Who hasn't eaten pork, who hasn't seen a pig run. Of course, ink can grind, and this is not difficult for me at all. Zhao Lan thought to herself. Looking at Zhao Lan, who was polished with ink and remained silent, Master Liu couldn't help but nod in his heart. Master Liu moistened his pen and commanded in a low voice: "Fuqiang, you go to the study and find a copy of the "Three Character Classic". ”

"How dare you receive such a gift." Zhao Lan hurriedly raised her head and said shyly.

"Did I say I gave it to you?"

Zhao Lan's face turned red suddenly, and she said cutely: "Ah! It wasn't given to me! Seeing Zhao Lan, who had finally changed her face, she felt that such a Zhao Lan was about the same age as her granddaughter. Master Liu smiled with satisfaction. "Since you said it was for you, then I'll give it to you!"

"Ahh Why did you send me again. Looking at Master Liu, who was smiling naughtily, Zhao Lan realized that she had fallen for Master Liu, "How can Master Liu make fun of my sister-in-law." ”

"Uh-huh!" Master Liu pretended to cough twice to hide his discomfort before saying, "The book is for you." The book "Three Character Classic" is an enlightenment book, its text is simple and easy to learn, the content is easy to understand, there are many principles of life in the book, and it is not without harm to learn. Remember to ask Brother Ling from time to time, literacy can be reasonable. Master Liu straightened his face and looked very serious.

"But I don't do anything!" Zhao Lan excused herself.

"Although my sister-in-law is illiterate, she knows a lot of truth. The old man gave it, and you took it yourself, and I said that if you can stand it, you can bear it. ”

"Yes, it's better to be respectful than to obey!" Zhao Lan no longer shirked and accepted it happily. As a modern person, how can there be so much poverty and sourness, so petty and childish, if you give it, you will be outstanding.

"Good little girl. Be honest and not pretentious. ”

"Hey, hey!" Zhao Lan could only smirk at the old man who praised her so much. How can you say it so well! Zhao Lan thought happily in her heart. "If you have any questions, you can ask someone to tell my brother, and my brother will find someone to bring me a message." Zhao Lan thought for a while and said.

"It's exactly what the old man wants to say, but it's all gone by your little girl."

The two looked at each other and laughed. What a grandfather without a fight.

After Zhao Lan finished laughing, she opened her mouth and said: "Although Junzilan likes a semi-shady and humid environment, it can't always be placed in a place where there is no sunlight in the house, you can put it in the shade of a tree to see the sun in the morning and evening, so that it will grow better." Watering should be appropriate, watering too many rotten roots, watering less will be empty roots......" is not Zhao Lan's verbosity, it is really caused by occupational diseases. Originally, Zhao Lan planted flowers and sold flowers, and people often said that the flowers died within two days of buying them. Many people came to ask why the flower died. In fact, many people who buy flowers patronize whether the flowers are good-looking, but they don't know how to raise them. They raise flowers either with too much watering, or they forget to water them, or they are sun-loving flowers, which he puts in the house to make it more convenient to enjoy the flowers and leaves; Otherwise, it is a shade-loving flower, and he wants to put it in the sun to dry, afraid that it will not grow well without sunlight. The sun at noon is basically not good. Therefore, Zhao Lan has developed a habit, no matter whether the person who buys flowers understands the characteristics of the flowers to be bought, Zhao Lan has to talk about it carefully. The customer has to tell him again before leaving. After a long time, Zhao Lan's customers increased.

Zhao Lan, who crossed over, still couldn't change this habit. As soon as the words came out, I thought that the person opposite was an ancient, or an ancient person with status, and I didn't know if I would be unhappy if I was troubled. Zhao Lan secretly glanced at Master Liu, only to see Master Liu's surprised eyes flash. Zhao Lan scolded herself in her heart: Look at how talkative you are, you really have flaws as soon as you open your mouth. But you can't help but speak! Although Zhao Lan knew that her speech had revealed flaws, she paused for a second, but she still finished the rest of the words.

It's really an occupational disease!

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Lan's voice fell, she heard Master Liu say: "Gu Liang knows a lot, but Jun Zilan is rare." ”

"Listened to it, listened." Zhao Lan stammered, "My family has some grass and flowers, and they will bloom in about half a month, I don't know if Grandpa Liu likes it or not, if I like to bring you a pot." Zhao Lan had no choice but to immediately divert Master Liu's attention.

"Grass flowers? If it's not troublesome, Gu Liang, you come over again in half a month to see if this Junzilan is alive. If it's not troublesome, please bring a pot of mushrooms to see. The old man is also idle! It's always good to have flowers to look at. Master Liu teased himself.

"Hey! Then I'll come back in half a month. Zhao Lan didn't dare to say more. hurriedly replied to Master Liu's words, and then said goodbye and went back.

Out of Liufu, Zhao Chun went back to the academy directly, while Zhao Lan and Zhao Ju followed Zhao Shen to the blacksmith shop. This is Zhao Lan's second visit to the town and to the blacksmith shop. Zhao Lan's father, Zhao Dazhuang, saw their mother and mother coming, and hurriedly put down the work in his hand, got up from the stool next to the stove, and took a towel on the shelf on the side to sweat. Seeing that Zhao Shen, Zhao Lan, and Zhao Ju still had shy smiles on their faces, they saw that Zhao Lan was putting the paper and pen in their hands on the table, turned their faces and said to Zhao Shen, "This is for Brother Chun?" You don't have to buy it for him, he has money on him, and he will buy it himself. ”

"No, this paper and pen were given to Zhao Lan by Master Liu."

"Master Liu? Which Willow master? What's going on? When Zhao Dazhuang heard the word master, he immediately became nervous. grabbed one of Zhao Shen's arms and asked.

"Loosen up, let go! is Chun'er's classmate, Liu Gongzi's grandfather, and his home is in Yanliu Lane. The pot of dying flowers that Zhao Lan held back last time was saved by Zhao Lan, and some time ago, for some reason, the flower was asked back by Liu Gongzi. In order to express his gratitude, Liu Gongzi invited us to sit at his house today. Zhao Shen pushed away Zhao Dazhuang's hand, rubbed his injured arm, and explained: "When we were resting in the garden, we happened to meet Liu Gongzi's grandfather. Because Zhao Lan was talking about how to raise flowers at the time, she was heard by Liu Gongzi's grandfather who was passing by, he planted a flower, what was the name of the flower? When Zhao Shen talked about this, he didn't think of the name of the flower after thinking about it for a long time. hurriedly called Zhao Lan, who was looking at the half-finished ironware on the iron felt.

"Yes, Zhao Lan, what's it called, that flower, that flower of Master Liu?"

"Gentleman's Orchid."

"Yes, Junzilan. Pretty nice name. Listening to Liu'er, the flower roots were rotten, but they weren't dead yet, Zhao Lan helped think of a way and planted them again. Then Liu Gongzi's grandfather sent these papers and pens to the big girl. ”

After listening to Zhao Shen's story about the origin of the pen and paper, Zhao Dazhuang was still frowning, with doubts in his heart, but he didn't know what it was. It can only be put in the back of the head first.

"Don't pick up flowers next time, these rich and noble families can't afford to offend." Zhao Dazhuang said, "Last time, when Aunt Liu bought the door plug, she said that Shi Qiang, the second son of Shi Erniu's family in Qingshi Village, was in Sangui Lane, and accidentally bumped into Master Hua in the east of the town, and was beaten half to death by Master Hua's servants. I spent a lot of money on medicine, but I heard that one leg was not good. In the future, you should be careful when you come to the town, and don't mess with the rich people. ”

"Hey! Know. Zhao Lan and Zhao Ju replied in unison.

Zhao Liushi, who was cleaning up the bed and tidying up the mess of iron materials, asked curiously: "Is there really such a thing?" ”

Zhao Dazhuang nodded and said, "Yes, everyone has been talking about this matter these days. It was said that the people from the Ping'an Pharmacy in the town came back and said that Shi Qiang's leg could not walk. ”

Aunt Zhang, who sells a basket of straw hats next door, also answered: "Yesterday, I only went with some medicine to drink, and I didn't have money to look at my legs, so I guess one leg won't work." I was supposed to get married next month. Now, it is estimated that the marriage is going to be yellow. ”

"Aunt Zhang, have you heard about it too? Did you spend the money with the master? Zhao Shen stood at the door and asked. Aunt Zhang walked to the door next to the two families with an unwoven vegetable basket in her hand, leaned half of her body against the wall, leaned out half of her body, and said mysteriously: "What kind of money to accompany me, my daughter married in that village, and the family finally scraped together enough ten taels of money to set up a marriage, thinking that the family would be better off if she married her daughter-in-law, and her younger brothers and sisters were also taken care of." Whoever wants it to be like this. Aunt Zhang paused when she said this, and looked around. Seeing that there was no one moving around, he leaned over and whispered in Zhao Shen's ear: "Yesterday, I heard that the family that was married came to withdraw from the marriage, but Qiangzi's mother didn't agree. The family scolded and went back. ”

After speaking, Aunt Zhang straightened up and continued: "If you want me to say! Today, people will definitely go to get out of marriage, who wants their daughter to marry a leg, can't farm, what to eat! ”
