Chapter 4: Bad Books

Early in the morning, Yue Qianqiu, who had slept well, dragged out of bed and stretched his waist greatly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although he is accustomed to going to bed early and getting up early in this era of lack of entertainment, habit does not mean that he likes it, even if he goes to bed early, he still feels sleepy when he gets up at this time.

When he caught a glimpse of Luoxia's eyes that were red and swollen as he dressed him, and it was clear that he had cried more than once last night, he sighed old-fashionedly.

He didn't say anything to comfort him, and it wasn't until he was about to go out after washing up and having breakfast that he suddenly ordered: "Luoxia, you can send me to Hemingxuan today." ”

Luoxia is a big girl who takes care of the details inside and outside the Qingfen Pavilion, and it has always been a matter of two little girls to send Yue Qianqiu out, but she only experienced that last night, since Yue Qianqiu ordered, she naturally agreed immediately, but she had to carefully compress her eyes with a soaked soft towel, even so, the redness and swelling were still difficult to eliminate.

Hemingxuan is just to the east of Qingfen Pavilion, separated by a door, Yue Qianqiu was carried back to Yuefu and lived here, which was actually closer to the old man than the real Yue family.

The old man Yue has to get up before dawn every day to go out to catch up with the court, so in Yuefu, the morning and dusk are the two things, and it is impossible to do it in the morning.

In the early years, the old man Yue waved his hand to save the morning trip, and only at dusk or even when he came back at night, the children and grandchildren would gather at Hemingxuan, so the early morning generally only one of the more Qianqiu would run there.

But this time, he and Luo Xia had just passed the east-west moon gate, and they saw a group of people coming in from the south gate.

As soon as the two sides were paired, he recognized the boy who was about his own age. Seeing that the other party didn't seem to see him, he wanted to walk in front of him, so he lazily shouted, "Chang'an." ”

It was the eldest son of the eldest young master of Yuefu, and Yue Xiuyi, the eldest grandson of the old lady Yue, and Chang'an was his milk name.

He and Yue Qianqiu are about the same size, with a jade face and red lips, and handsome eyebrows, if they stand side by side with Yue Qianqiu, it is easy for people to mistake them for a pair of brothers. It's just that compared with the gorgeous clothes that the old lady always likes to let Luoxia and other girls wear for Yue Qianqiu, he is much simpler.

At present, Yue Xiu is dressed in a bean green shirt, only a jade pendant is tied with a red rope around his waist, in contrast, Yue Qianqiu's emerald color is much brighter.

As soon as Yue Xiu was stopped by Yue Qianqiu, his face suddenly darkened. In the past, he was not happy, why was he about the same age as Yue Qianqiu, but he wanted to call him the ninth uncle, but because of his seniority, he had to swallow his anger. But now that he knows that Yue Qianqiu is not the Yue family's bloodline at all, he is not willing to call this ninth uncle anymore.

He took a deep breath, deliberately omitted those two words, raised his head and said, "I'm here to borrow books from Hemingxuan!" ”

Yue Qianqiu didn't care if the other party called Uncle Nine or not, but when he heard this reason, he said with a smile: "But grandpa is not here right now." ”

"What's wrong with Grandpa's absence?" Yue Xiu was annoyed and angry, raised his voice and said, "You can enter Heming Xuan every day, why can't I?" I started reading and reading at the age of four, what about you, relying on your grandfather to spoil you, you started to read bad at the age of four! ”

Hearing this movement, the two girls who were waiting in Heming Xuan during the day, Qingcao and Qingyin, all rushed over. Seeing that Yue Xiuyi was confronting Yue Qianqiu, they immediately chose to watch the excitement.

Yue Qianqiu grew up in Hemingxuan since he was a child. He would start to learn to climb ladders as he walked, and his greatest pleasure was to spoil the vast sea of books on the shelves.

But the old lady didn't care at all. In the words of this domineering old man, it is better to make the best use of these books than to accumulate dust and rot.

If it weren't for the old lady's orders, they would have been unable to help but stop drinking when they saw Yue Qianqiu drawing various lines and graffiti on the book before.

Suddenly, Qingyin found that it was Luo Xia who came out with Yue Qianqiu today, and saw that she was slim, but only her eyes were red and swollen, she couldn't help but feel jealous, and stepped forward to stab a few words.

"The list of marriages has just come out, and the third wife has approved it, does my sister know that she is going to get married, and she cried for a night?"

Hearing this was obviously a joke and secretly a sarcastic remark, Luo Xia couldn't help but crumple her handkerchief tightly, and couldn't even squeeze out a reluctant smile.

Yue Qianqiu, who was listening to the six roads, noticed the dark arrow here, he didn't pay attention to the menacing Yue Xiuyi at all, turned his head to Luo Xia and said, "Go back and get two boiled eggs, peel them and soak them in cold water, and then put them on your eyes and roll them." ”

Hearing this, Qing Yinden frowned: "Take an egg to your eyes?" Isn't that a bad thing? ”

"After applying it, wash it and eat it, where is the bad practice? Or was it that when Luoxia was at your house, she couldn't even eat eggs? ”

Qing Yin saw Yue Qianqiu turn her head to look at herself, and she was angry for a while.

When Luo Xia first entered the house and recognized Xiang Mother as her godmother, when she learned the rules at her house, not to mention eggs, even the meals were left over from their brothers and sisters!

And Yue Xiuyi didn't expect that Yue Qianqiu not only didn't care about herself, but also had the heart to take care of a girl, and she was about to explode: "You don't waste enough things yourself, and you teach others to spoil things?" ”

It wasn't until he saw that his face was flushed, that Yue Qianqiu walked over with his hands behind his back, and patted Yue Xiuyi's head unceremoniously, and then took two steps back and looked at this dumbfounded nephew.

"Good nephew, since you are here to borrow books from Hemingxuan, you should be polite to the acting master, otherwise what if I am in a bad mood and will not let you in?"

Seeing that Yue Xiu's face darkened suddenly, Yue Qianqiu deliberately said proudly: "But I'm in a good mood now, you go in, adults don't care about villains, I, who is an uncle, will be like your nephew?"

was ridiculed for this, Yue Xiuyi was ashamed and angry, where did he still have the intention of borrowing books, but he turned his head and left in anger.

At this moment, Qing Yin suddenly panicked. Her mother, Xiang Mother, is the confidant of Yue Xiuyi's grandmother, how dare she offend the real little master?

Seeing that Qingyin pulled the grass and pulled her legs to chase Yue Xiuyi, Yue Qianqiu took the opportunity to quietly instruct Luo Xia: "Remember, when you go back, close the door of the courtyard and latch it, even the king of heaven is not allowed to enter the Qingfen Pavilion today." ”

Although she didn't know what she meant, Luo Xia looked at Yue Qianqiu with a serious face, and unconsciously swallowed the question back into her stomach and nodded heavily.

When Qingcao and Qingyin couldn't persuade the angry Yue Xiuyi at all, and returned to Hemingxuan in frustration, they saw Yue Qianqiu climbing the ladder to get the book by himself, and he couldn't help but hate itchy.

In the eyes of Qingcao and Qingyin, the seven-year-old Yue Qianqiu is not Yue Xiuyi, and without the enlightenment and teaching of elders like the eldest wife and the eldest young master, how can he understand those thick and heavy books, it is obviously just a waste of things.

Yue Qianqiu tossed all morning, after eating lunch and resting on the soft couch for an hour, he began to climb up and down again, spent most of the hour picking up several books, but held a book with three fingers thick, sat directly on the ground and looked through it with his back against the bookshelf, and also took a pen dipped in ink to write and draw.

Seeing this scene, thinking that Yue Qianqiu still took Yue Xiu away in the morning, Qingcao finally couldn't help it.

"Nine Princes, how many people can't afford to buy books, so they can only go to the bookstore to copy and read back, can't you cherish a little?"

"Poor Cuo Dahan Window has studied hard for ten years, and once he was named on the gold list, but he was a petty official of eight or nine grades. It's not as good as some people who can be prosperous and rich by luck, and spoil the sages and sages. ”

Qing Yin also sarcastically said two sentences, and seeing that Yue Qianqiu didn't seem to hear it, she said angrily: "Ninth Prince, you should take care of things, which young master in the house has such a sweeping floor?" ”

"Sven sweeps the floor is a good idiom." Yue Qianqiu buried his head in looking at the thick tome in his hand, and only raised his head for a long time and said, "But I just like bad books, so what?" ”

He flicked the book in his hand: "My books in the past three years have not been in vain. The third bookshelf on the left hand, the first shelf on the third floor, is missing a set of three books. On the second shelf on the fourth floor, a set of twelve-volume books is all missing. And I want to recall again, what books are missing from the other shelves? I've heard that your idle brother has been quite generous lately. ”

At that moment, Qing Yindeng's face was like white paper, and the whole person trembled violently.

Looking at her scene, Qingcao immediately realized that there was a cat here, and couldn't help but gasp.

She and Qingyin are cousins, and Xiang's mother is her aunt, and she can go to a light-hearted place like Hemingxuan to do things, thanks to Xiang's mother. Now that she hears that her cousin may steal books, how can she sit idly by?

Qingcao forcibly squeezed out a smile: "Jiugongzi is illiterate again, maybe he remembered it wrong." ”

Yue Qianqiu said without raising his head: "When I first started to read badly, Uncle Ying beside my grandfather spent several days copying all the books in this Heming Xuan. After all, when he makes up for the books I have lost, he always has to know in mind. At that time, the two of you hadn't been assigned to Hemingxuan. If you want to know if I'm mistaken, just go back and ask Uncle Ying to count it. ”

Hearing this, Qingcao finally realized that although Yue Qianqiu only provoked this topic today, he must have found the clue before that. Rao is that she wants to help a group of Qingyin again, and she doesn't dare to make a noise at this moment.

Yuefu has a shallow foundation, and the family rules are all set by the old lady one by one, and it is easy to say otherwise, only the fact that the hands and feet are not clean is a crime that will inevitably lead to severe punishment once caught!

Finding that Qingcao unconsciously took a step to the side, and was about to clear up with herself, Qingyin's face turned blue, her hands were hung together, and she looked at Yue Qianqiu's gaze, and finally there was no more contempt and contempt, but there was more deep resentment.

"Those books are just for you to be badly placed in this study, so it's better to take them out and give them to real readers!"

After blurting out these two sentences, Qing Yin finally realized that she was equivalent to admitting it herself. With a pale face, she staggered back a few steps and suddenly burst out of the door. has caused such a big disaster, and the only thing she can count on is to be the eldest wife to marry the girl, and now the mother who is extremely powerful in the house is to her mother!

She didn't know at all, looking at her back as she ran away, Yue Qianqiu didn't shout, and she didn't get up, but the corners of her mouth were smiling.
