Chapter 9: Mr. Teaching
At three o'clock in the morning, Lin Lan was woken up by a knock on the door. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThe rules of the Lin family are still few enough, and some big families, from what time of day every day, it is as rare to serve tea and ask for peace. Lin Ruhai's cousins don't come and go often, so the Lin family is thin, and some rules are naturally gone.
I saw the shopkeeper last night, and I had dinner with many aunts, but Lin Lan only didn't see Daiyu. Lin Ruhai only said a few words verbally, and did not force Lin Daiyu to come over to recognize his relatives.
Lin Lan must be able to imagine that last night, her mother and father were heart-to-heart, how long did you and I talk about it, but I only pity myself for this habit of recognizing the bed, I just got used to sleeping at home, and when I got here, I had insomnia again.
"Who, early in the morning." He muttered with a yawn.
Lin Lan opened the door and saw an old-fashioned old man with his hands on his back. The old man glanced at Lin Lan, who was shirtless on his upper body, and suddenly his face became gloomy, and he snorted coldly, "What kind of system!" ”
"Oh, is the butler who delivered breakfast? Come on in! Lin Lan said lightly.
"Humph!" The old man flicked his robe, and he was almost so angry that his beard flew up.
As soon as the Wang family, who was still smiling, saw his son's sloppy appearance, he called the old gentleman housekeeper, and immediately pushed Lin Lan into the door, grabbed the long shirt on the side, and put it on for Lin Lan neatly, "How did you speak?" This is the gentleman specially invited by your father, look at you, the sun is three poles and you can't get up, let Mr. Xia wait for you for an hour! ”
This old Mr. Xia couldn't help but educate Lin Lan, "If it weren't for Lin Gong's sake, the old man would have turned around and left with your behavior just now!" ”
Wang smiled and said, "Mr. Xia is angry. My son has been stubborn since he was a child, and I will need your care in the future. In this way, I'll go first, Lan'er, don't make Mr. Xia angry anymore, how big is it. ”
Wang led Xia Fuzi into the door and left in a hurry.
Lin Lan swallowed her saliva, neither standing nor sitting, she could only smile awkwardly: "Master Xia, do you have some tea?" ”
"Nope."
"Do you need some snacks?"
"No need, the old man has eaten morning food."
Lin Lan touched her gurgling stomach and said, "The student hasn't eaten yet." ”
Xia Qian, who looked like a bamboo pole, estimated that he was so-called anemic, and was sat on the chair with his head a little dizzy by Lin Lan, and said, "Give ...... Give you a stick of incense time. ”
Lin Lan bowed and said, "Okay, the student will wash up by the way." ”
"Go and come back!" Xia Qian touched his chest and breathed heavily.
After a stick of incense, Lin Lan washed and dressed, ate some breakfast, and stepped into the door again. Seeing that Xia Qian had almost eased up, he bowed and said, "Student Lin Lan, I've seen the master." ”
"Excuse me. I'm here to teach you, it's all for your father's sake. Everything is simple, and the other terms and conditions are old and rotten and don't care about you. But the old decay has to make an appointment with you for three chapters, you can listen carefully. ”
"The students listened attentively."
Xia Qian was stunned for a moment, this kid still knows a little bit of etiquette, and he is completely different from the state of the bastard just now, so he was a little reassured, and said: "First, you are not allowed to say that Xia Qian is your teacher when you go out." ”
"Why?"
"Not why."
Lin Lan raised her eyebrows and continued to ask, "Students want to know." ”
"At the age of seventeen, he has just gone to school in Mongolia, and the old man can't afford to lose this person."
"Oh, students get it."
"Second, in the future, you should get up early every day, and you should not sleep until three o'clock in the morning."
Lin Lan was stunned, didn't he want his life, he originally recognized the bed, but he was not used to it, and he got up so early and immediately asked, "Sir, why is this?" ”
Xia Qian snorted coldly, "You are a gentleman, I am a gentleman?" There are so many questions! At your age, you are already reading the Four Books and the Five Classics and learning poetry and songs. The stupid bird should fly first, you are so late, you must not pick up the lamp to read at night, smell the chicken and dance! ”
"Oh." Lin Lan looked at her toes.
"This third ...... There is a diligent path in the book mountain, and there is no end to the hard work of learning the sea. Old decay can only play a role in appropriation, and will not teach you to read word by word like those old-fashioned nerds, so you had better be mentally prepared. ”
"Oh."
Xia Qian rolled his eyes and said, "Look at you, when you were eating just now, when it comes to reading, you look like a stuffy gourd, oh, oh, oh." ”
“……”
Xia Qian shook his head, sighed with a sigh that he couldn't teach, and said: "Mengxue Thirteen Classics, as a teacher, you don't need to know the whole book, this "Thousand Character Text", "Three Character Classic" and "Hundred Family Names" are enough. This requires you to be able to recognize the above words and understand their meanings, and then you can complete the study. ”
Lin Lan's eyelids twitched, this is not something that he memorized when he was a child, does this old master really think that he doesn't know a liter of big words. You know, although he Lin Lan was famous in Yangzhou at the beginning, he graduated from the Chinese Department of a famous university, and he was also called Lin Dacaizi, and he was not blown out.
"Sir, I think this, I don't have to learn."
"What? Too much? If you can't learn these things, then you don't have to learn anything else. ”
Lin Lan smiled bitterly: "I have already memorized these melons well. ”
"Hmph, don't think that this will coax the old decay. Read the words on it. ”
Lin Lan took the surname of the hundred families, and without even turning it over, he memorized it: "Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou Wu, Zheng Wang, Feng Chen Zhuwei, ......" was just five or six hundred words, and he immediately memorized it.
Xia Qian was a little unconvinced, and said, "Didn't you come from hearsay from a storyteller?" ”
"Your storyteller recites "Hundred Family Names"."
“……”
Xia Qian said again, "This is the "Three Character Classic", I don't believe that you really have no teacher." No need to read it, literacy is just the first step, you tell me the allusions. ”
Lin Lan took the three-character scripture and talked about a few casually, and was immediately stopped by Xia Qian.
"I heard your mother say that she didn't go to school, why are you going to do all this?"
Lin Lan said with a smile: "Although I haven't gone to school, I've eavesdropped on the school in the village, and I've read a lot of books, so I don't have a teacher." At this point, Lin Lan still admires the villagers of Gejia Village, although they are poor, they have never forgotten the family motto of cultivating and reading heirlooms, compared with the neighboring villages, the children in Gejia Village are much smarter, and there are many more people who are promising.
Xia Qian stroked his beard and said, "Lin Gong's son is really extraordinary. Good, good. He got up and left the room.
"Alas, sir, are you still reading this book?"
"Take your three-day vacation, and after three days, you can come to Huairen Academy to go to school!"
……
……
With nothing to do, Lin Lan changed into the old clothes and walked to the West Chamber, wanting to see what this sister Lin who had not yet appeared looked like.
As soon as he passed the Shuiyue Gate in the West Chamber, he pretended to be full of arms with an old master.
"Beware! No learning, no skills. "The old master has a big temper.
Lin Lan smiled and walked inside. In the West Chamber, there was no one else except for a maid. Lin Daiyu likes to be quiet, so she only has a personal maid by her side. I learned all this from his father.
There was a person sitting in the pavilion, Lin Lan had sharp eyes, and saw that it was the little maid she met yesterday, so she strode up and said, "Little Qinglian, Miss hasn't come out yet?" ”
Hearing this familiar voice, Qinglian put the book in her hand on the table and said angrily: "You little guy is really ghostly!" ”
"Yo, you still read the Analects, do you want my brother to teach you?"
"Phew, who's your sister. I heard from the butler yesterday that the man didn't even know about Mengxue's readings, and I don't think you're much better than him! ”
"Hehe, sister, don't look down on people. The eldest young master is talented and intelligent, and he has no teacher, and he has long been familiar with these books. ”
Qinglian obviously didn't believe this, and said, "You can help that person speak." ”
Lin Lan smiled: "Don't always be that person." The eldest young master is the eldest brother of the young lady, and how much does the eldest young master mean. Miss Mo Cheng is also the one who called the eldest young master that person? ”
Qinglian was obviously not in the mood to talk nonsense with Lin Lan anymore, so she said: "If you can't go, I'll call someone if you don't go!" ”
Lin Lan glanced at Xiaozhu in the West Chamber, and smiled secretly, I want to see, little sister, how long can you hide.
……
……
Lin Ruhai hasn't done much official business today, but the people who visited here have met the two. One is Jia Yucun, the letter of recommendation that was given yesterday came to say goodbye in a hurry today, which shows the desire for an official position.
After sending Jia Yucun away, it was Xia Qian's arrival. Although this old Confucian student does not often come and go on weekdays, in Guangling, several old Confucian students in Huairen School are still very famous, how many dignitaries want to invite them to teach in the mansion, but they are all refused, Jia Yucun can invite him to be his son's enlightenment teacher, he is still very satisfied.
The next person served fragrant tea, and Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "Mr. Xia came here this time, but have you seen a dog?" ”
"See. Ling Lang is really extraordinary. ”
Lin Ruhai's face changed, thinking that Xia Qian was talking the opposite, so he said, "Did the dog cause you any trouble?" Lin knew that this age was a bit late in enlightenment, but ......"
Xia Qian said with a smile: "Lin Gong is too worried. The old decay means that Ling Lang does not have to go to school. ”
Lin Ruhai stood up, "The dog must have done something to make you angry, right?" Wait a minute, Lin will go over and reprimand him! ”
He was a little puzzled in his heart, Jia Yucun praised Lin Lan like a flower, and he didn't get along for a long time last night, but he also looked at Lin Lan's rules. No matter how bad it is, even if he is a little stupid, presumably Xia Qian will not come to him early in the morning, he must have caused something that made Xia Qian unhappy.
Lin Gong stayed. Lin Gong misunderstood the meaning of decay. Xia Qian stopped Lin Ruhai, who was still thinking nonsense.
"The old decay means that Ling Lang's intelligence is enough to go to school in Huairen Academy with people of the same age."
"Huh?" Lin Ruhai stayed in place dumbfounded, this time, happiness came too suddenly!
