The Wentang of Caofu is not in the back house, but a large house next to the back house, the room is spacious and bright, very empty, about four or five hundred square meters, and there are several large pillars standing in the middle.

As the name suggests, Wentang is a place to study, but it is not a place for the children of the Cao family to read, but a place for the sons and daughters of the Cao family to read collectively.

But today there is no need to read, all the tables and chairs have been removed, and it seems quite lively inside, and from time to time young children rush in.

"This is Wen City!" Cao Xing pointed to Wentang and said to Li Yanqing with a smile.

"What Wenshi?" Li Yanqing didn't quite understand.

"You'll find out when you go in."

Li Yanqing was dragged into the big room by Cao Xing, and found that there were fifty or sixty young men and women gathered in the lobby, which was very lively, and there was a circle of tables on the wall, with pen, ink, paper, and inkstones on the table, and a cardboard box on each table.

"Wenshi and Wushi are the most interesting activities of each magpie banquet, creating an opportunity for everyone to communicate, although not necessarily every time, but today is just there, this is Wenshi, you can come here to ask or do questions, and there is a reward for being selected by the questioner."

Cao Xuan looked around the table and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, the thirty tables are full, I can only do the questions, pay attention to the questions on the wall, and put them in the cardboard box after answering the questions." ”

Li Yanqing suddenly became interested, at this time, he saw a couplet, and was about to step forward, but was pulled away by Cao Xing, "That's a red case, which means that it is a man who makes the question, and only a woman can answer the question, and a man can only read the green case." ”

So that's the case, Li Yanqing saw that there was a green case next to him, he looked up at the title on the wall, and saw that the title paper read: 'Please try to analyze "Man Tingfang? Mountains wipe the clouds'.

Li Yanqing laughed, this is a female fan of Qin Guan, I saw that the question was signed by Pan Qianyunniang, Li Yanqing looked at the carton again, and half a box of answer sheets had been piled up inside.

Li Yanqing was just about to pick up the pen, but was pulled away by Cao Xing.

"What does Saburo say?" Li Yanqing looked at him helplessly and said.

"You are Tanhua, as soon as you make a move, the prizes will be taken away by you, so it's okay to leave some opportunities for others."

"Then I'll just have to see?"

"You don't have to, it doesn't matter if you answer a question, I'll find a recognized problem for you."

Cao Xuan pulled Li Yanqing to a green case inside, there were already five or six young children gathered here, all waiting in line to answer the question, the box was almost full, it seemed that this question was very interesting.

Li Yanqing looked up at the wall, and saw a line of beautiful boys on it, "Yun Niang is recruiting for the study." ’

Cao Xuan laughed in a low voice: "Yun Niang is the daughter of my third uncle, there is a famous female nerd of the Cao family, she loves books like life, other girls have money to buy fat powder and jewelry, she doesn't like it, just buy books, her boudoir has become a study, the collection of books is about to catch up with my grandfather, everyone calls her a book lady, she has been asking for a couplet for her study since she was eight years old, but there is no one that satisfies her until now." ”

"In that case, she just writes one for herself."

"Of course, she also writes for herself, but she also wants to ask an outside master to write one for her."

"How old is this book lady in your family?"

"It's still small!" Cao Xuan replied vaguely.

Li Yanqing is the first time to hear the little lady who loves books, and he is also quite respectful, when it comes to the study couplet, the one he wrote for the master back then was the best, and he still has a few more that he can take out.

At this time, the first four people had finished writing, and Cao Xing encouraged him: "Leave a couplet for me, a nerdy sister!" Encourage and encourage this little lady, or her mother will shout to burn the book again. ”

Li Yanqing felt a trace of sympathy in his heart, so he spread out a piece of paper and wrote:

Reading is correct, reading is easy to change, reading is quiet, reading Zhuang is taken, reading Chinese is strong, and the most flavorful volume is in the years;

With the chrysanthemum, with the plum, with the lotus, with the orchid, with the begonia, with the rhyme, must call themselves the gods in the flowers.

"Good calligraphy!"

As soon as Li Yanqing mentioned the pen, Cao Xing couldn't help but praise it.

After writing the payment, Xiangzhou Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing felt that it was a little inappropriate, this couplet had already been given to the master, and he smiled again: "This one is not good, I will write another one." ”

"Nope! No! This one is also for her, you write another one, let her choose for herself, maybe she won't like it. ”

Li Yanqing no longer insisted, and wrote another one:

The sound of wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of the ear.

State affairs, family affairs, world affairs, everything is concerned.

He mentioned his name, waited for the ink to dry, and then carefully folded it and put it in a cardboard box.

"Do you want to go and see Wushi, Gao Pet should practice guns over there!" Walking out of the literary hall, Cao Xing suggested again.

Li Yanqing nodded happily, "Okay!" I'd love to see his marksmanship. ”

"You go first, I may have something to do first, and I'll come back to you later."

"It's okay! Brother Cao went to get busy. ”

Cao Xuan summoned a servant and said to him: "Take my friend to Wushi, don't slack off." ”

The little guy hurriedly agreed, and Li Yanqing arched his hand to Cao Xing, "Then I'll go first." ”

"Yanqing will go first, and I will come right away."

Cao Xing looked at Li Yanqing with a smile, his smile suddenly disappeared, he turned around and ran into the literary hall, pushed away several young children who were queuing up to write couplets, picked up the cardboard box and left.

Everyone was in a hurry, and hurriedly stopped him, "Xiao Saburo, what are you doing here?" ”

"The box is full, it's over here, you can go answer other questions!"

"We've been waiting for this opportunity for half a year, you can't ......."

Cao Xuan ignored them, simply tore the question from the wall again, pushed everyone away and ran away, so angry that several young men stomped their feet behind and scolded.

．．．．．．．．

The back house of Cao Mansion covers an area of forty acres, there are ten courtyards of large and small, hundreds of houses, living Cao Ping and his seven sons, of course, the Cao family is not only this mansion, there are several mansions in the capital, which are inhabited by Cao Ping's nephews, this is the ancestral house, which can only be inhabited by the head of the family and his descendants.

Connected with the back house as a whole, is the back garden that covers an area of more than 60 acres, which is shaded by big trees, planted with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, a Hongbi Tan is full of 20 acres, there are dozens of exquisite pavilions and pavilions distributed around, all kinds of treasures play with mountains and stones, small bridges and flowing water, beautiful, as if a fairyland.

Cao Xing ran along a long straight alley, and ran to the Wenmei Courtyard where the third uncle lived in one breath, and happened to see Yun Niang's little sister Cao Jiaojiao.

"Jiaojiao, is your sister here?"

"The big scholar was dragged away by Yun Yatou, but she refused to tell me where to go?" Cao Jiaojiao is only seven years old, she especially likes kittens, she has several kittens, and it can be seen that she is very unhappy and pouts.

"It's strange, it's rare to be in the study today!" Cao Xuan muttered to himself, stuffed the cardboard box to Cao Jiaojiao, "It's very important to put this in your eldest sister's study, put it away carefully, and I'll take you to buy cat food in two days." ”

"Trick me into being a puppy!"

"When did the little third brother deceive Jiaojiao? Hurry up and put the box in the study, I'll go find your sister." ”

Cao Jiaojiao was happy again, holding the cardboard box and jumping towards Sister A's study.

Cao Xuan thought about it, then ran to the back garden again, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the back garden, he saw his two younger sisters, Yun Niang and Yun Niang, talking and laughing and walking back.

The old man Cao Ping has seven sons, and has given him fifteen grandsons and nine granddaughters, four of whom have been married, and the three granddaughters are still young, and they are not young enough to marry, only Cao Yun and Cao Yun are sixteen years old.

Cao Yun is the daughter of the second family, Cao Yun is the eldest daughter of the third family, the two little girls were born in the same year and month, Cao Yun is slightly older a few days, although the two are the same age, but the appearance and figure are completely different, and the personalities are also very different.

Cao Yun is slightly shorter, plump, snow-white, round and jade, smiling like a flower, and her face is very pretty, while Cao Yun has a slender figure, skin like cream, and is beautiful, with a pair of beautiful eyes like autumn water and smoke, which is extraordinarily deep and quiet.

And the personalities of the two are just the opposite, Cao Yun is outgoing and enthusiastic, while Cao Yun is subtle and gentle, and his heart is as calm as water.

Cao Xuan compared repeatedly, and wanted to connect the more attractive sixth sister Cao Yun to Li Yanqing.

"Yun Niang, I'm looking for you everywhere."

"What is the third brother looking for us?" Cao Yun asked first.

"I didn't look for you!"

Cao Xuan glanced at her, and said to Cao Yun again: "Your Wen Market is over, I have helped you bring the carton back." ”

"Thank you, third brother!" Cao Yun pursed her lips and smiled.

"Isn't it half an hour away?" Cao Yun asked again.

"It's just that you have a lot of problems!"

Cao Xuan glared at Cao Yun dissatisfied, "Your mother is looking for you everywhere in the front yard, it seems that she is asking you to go on a blind date, hurry up!" ”

"You want to send me away, huh! I don't want to go. ”

Cao Yun took Cao Yun's hand and said with a smile: "Let's go to see your Wen Market, I don't know if there is any gain this time?" ”

"Thank you third brother for helping you get it back, I'll go back first."

Cao Xing couldn't say a word, and watched the two little ladies go back hand in hand, he wanted to praise Li Yanqing a few words on the side, but with Cao Yun, who is outspoken, I'm afraid it will backfire.

Helpless, Cao Xuan had to go listlessly to the atrium, and his enthusiasm gradually disappeared, even if Cao Yun was interested in this kind of thing, Li Yanqing might not like his sister, whether there was fate or not depends on themselves.
