There were several stacks of thick straw paper on the table, and the content written on them was "The Three Character Classic", which had only been a month or two, but the words were already half a pound and eight taels with Ma Du, which made Ma Du blush. x updates are the fastest

Although I don't know who the teacher of the turtle is, but it is definitely not as good as Song Lian, Song Lian's articles are good at, calligraphy is also excellent, Song Lian's second son Song, is the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty famous calligrapher "Three Song and Two Shen" one of them, indispensable Song Lian's careful training.

There is such a famous teacher, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are better than soft-shelled turtles, I don't know how much, and they are on the same level as soft-shelled turtles, so it's no wonder that Ma Du doesn't blush. Two months ago, the old loach bought a lot of dry land from others, and at the same time took it over with those tenants, among whom there was a poor Xiucai (referring to the title of a scholar, not a famous name in the Ming and Qing dynasties). ）

The old loach who wants to turn over and become a big family not only binds his granddaughter's feet, but also lets his grandson read, dreaming of farming and reading heirlooms. As soon as he heard that there was a Xiucai in the tenant, he immediately came to the door and wanted to invite him to the house to be a western seat, and he was rarely generous enough to give that Xiucai 800 wen a month.

Xiucai said that it only costs 500 yuan, but he wants to let the children of other tenant families follow the class together, and he saves 300 yuan at once.

The place where the class took place was in a dilapidated temple at the foot of Fang Mountain, not far from here, and where dozens of other tenants lived, and the poor turtle had to walk two miles with a limp every day.

Ma Du has always wanted to build a big house and find a Mr. Xixi for the family, but he didn't expect the old man to be so anxious. In order to allow the children of other tenants to study together, it is necessary to pay less than 300 wen, so that Ma Du has a lot of good feelings for this gentleman at once, and if this gentleman is not bad, it is not impossible to keep him.

"What is this gentleman's name?" Madu asked casually.

"Yuan Jiuli!" The old man said with a smile: "Mr. Yuan is a responsible and good gentleman, he takes great care of our turtles, and he has to write dozens of words with his hands every day." ”

No wonder! Old Song Ke has never held Ma Du's handwriting, and he often throws a notebook for Ma Du to copy.

"You don't know, Mr. Yuan has to shoot turtles at least ten miles a day, hehe......" The old man smiled very happily, and seemed to be very satisfied with this Mr. Yuan.

Ma Du reached out and touched the old man's forehead, "Grandpa, you're not sick, that's your grandson, let people beat you and be happy like this." ”

"You don't understand, Mr. Yuan just took a fancy to the turtle and hit him!"

There is also such a reason, Ma Du is really convinced, don't blame the old man, even Lao Zhu and Ma Dajia, the future emperor and queen, also think so.

With three thousand taels of silver at the bottom of the **, the old man immediately became a lot more arrogant, and added more dishes at noon. One is the shrimp egg soup, the shrimp Madu didn't see it, only the dried shrimp was fished out, and the eggs were not eggs, they were quail eggs found by fish and water chestnuts in the reeds.

There were also a few quails that had just grown feathers, which were thrown into the pot by the old loach and fried, because Madu loved to eat this. The mottled appearance of the quail reminded Madu of the same mottled cormorant at home when he was on the island, and in order to recuperate Madu, the big bird that had just been able to go into the water to catch fish was twisted by the old loach.

After lunch, I heard that the big fish Bai had not left, Ma Du hurriedly ran to the Qinhuai River, and when he saw Bai, Ma Du was naturally happy, and Bai was also happy, and it pulled Ma Du into the water with a long mouth.

Ma Du did not go into the water to play with it, because the water is really cold, and the shallow water here is much lower than the water temperature in the Yangtze River, and the Qinhuai River at this time is no longer suitable for its survival.

Let Lao Liu row, Ma Du has been leading Bai along the Qinhuai River into the Yangtze River, this should be its home, the wide water surface can make it soar and jump, ** swimming.

"Let's go!" Madu waved at it.

Squeak squeak...... The chubby body nimbly crossed the sampan boat, and seemed to say goodbye to Mado, and it splashed at Madu to express his reluctance, until it saw a group of simple finless porpoises.

Ma Du stretched out his hand to wipe the river water off his face, shuddered, and smiled helplessly, "This guy admits his mistake again!" ”

The big fish asked Ma Du with red eyes, "Brother, will it come back?" "Since I came to Yingtian, I have always been feeding the big fish, and naturally I have the deepest relationship with it.

"I don't want it to come back, the Qinhuai River is too shallow to become its home, there is no partner here, it will be lonely ......"

At dinner, the turtle came back, but the first thing the old man asked him was that Mr. Yuan hit him a few times today.

"Five, five, five!" The turtle seems to be stammering more than it used to be.

"Why did I only get five hits today!" The old man was very dissatisfied with his grandson's lack of beatings, "Did you make Mr. Yuan angry today?" ”

What logic! Madu was scorched by thunder on the outside and tender on the inside.

"I didn't make Mr. angry, my hands are swollen, remember it first!"

"Well, I'll let Mr. make it up another day!" The old man took a fried fish, chewed it in his mouth, and picked up the wine cup and squeaked it, so that he could take a sip.

There is such a grandfather, the turtle has also poured blood mold for eight lifetimes, Ma Du pulled the turtle's left hand, his hand is indeed swollen, it seems to have become translucent, and you can vaguely see the cyan blood vessels.

During the day, all of his good feelings for this gentleman were gone, and Ma Du couldn't help scolding: "What kind of bullshit is this, my brother will look for him tomorrow." ”

"No, no, no, sir, yes, very good to me!"

The old loach also said: "The child can't be talented if he doesn't fight, the turtle skin is real, it's okay to be a few times older!" ”

Ma Du knew that he didn't understand the old man, so he didn't talk to him in vain, and planned to go to the school the next day to have a look.

The next day he got up late, because yesterday Ma Du was hard to work hard, he copied the calligraphy in the middle of the night, he didn't want to lose to the turtle, where would his brother put face at that time.

What Ma Du didn't expect was that the old man got up very late, his face was still very ugly, and he was grinning when he was eating.

"Grandpa, are you feeling unwell? Let me show you? ”

The old man said with a bitter face: "Toothache, it's nothing, it's just that the silver is too hard." ”

Ma Du put down his chopsticks and frowned and asked, "Didn't you bite the silver in the middle of the night last night?" "Last night he heard a strange noise coming from the room, and he thought it was a rat burrowing.

Old man, "I've tried all this silver one by one, don't worry, it's all real!" ”
