From the bottom up, Qiu Yue, who was holding a book in her right hand, didn't expect to see her life-saving benefactor Zhu Fu here. She gave a blessing to the other party first, and then walked to the side of her young lady, presented the book with both hands and said, "Miss, I brought the book you want to read." ”

"Put it in the pavilion! I'll see again later. Lin Ruoxi, whose eyes did not leave Zhu Fu's body, responded and instructed lightly.

With sharp eyes, I saw Zhu Fu, who had the words "Journey to the West" written on the book cover, and really didn't expect that Miss Lin Jiasan would love to read novels. In his opinion, a lady like her should be a traditional ancient model, disdainful of popular wild books in the market. In addition to the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are compulsory subjects, women's red, women's three from the four virtues inherent education is also indispensable.

understands that the influence of novels in later generations is different from that of the current Zhu Fu, and it is also clear what Tang poetry, Song Ci, and Ming and Qing novels are. I still know that people who read novels at this time either belong to boring to pass the time, or have a postmodern ideology and avant-garde spirit. What's more, a rich daughter of a status like Miss Lin San naturally belongs to the latter, which is even more commendable. Moreover, "Journey to the West", that is, the later "Journey to the West", is not an ordinary book, but a ** that secretly satirizes and alludes to the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. At the moment, like this, she has to get a look, and her thinking and courage are not ordinary.

"Look at you like this, you should also be a person who can read and write, and you must also be a reader who wants to make a name for herself in the field!" The reason why Lin Ruoxi, who chatted with him a few more words, was that on the one hand, he was still satisfied with his previous answers and expressions, and on the other hand, he noticed that he had just dropped his short gaze on the book in Qiu Yue's hand.

"I've read some books, but unlike the current mainstream and career economy, they can be regarded as all wild books. As for the imperial examination, I really didn't think about it once. I'm not afraid of you laughing, even if I work hard for 30 or 50 years to take the children's exam, I may not be able to get a show. Zhu Fu, who felt that there was no need to lie in front of her, and there was no need to compliment her to win favor and favor, was still honest.

"Miss, he's the powerful Dao Master I mentioned to you. If he hadn't saved the slave's life during the thunderstorm that day, there would be no Qiuyue who can stand in front of you now. Qiu Yue, who put the book on the round stone table, turned around and walked out of the pavilion, standing on the left side of her own young lady, but her eyes looked at Zhu Fu, and thanked her with a smile.

Only then did Lin Ruoxi, who knew the true identity of the person in front of him who had never met before, although he had heard Qiu Yue say that there was a ghost exorcist in the house, and he was left in Shangshanguan by his father for a temporary residence, but he didn't take it as a matter at all, just thought that there was another charlatan in his house to cheat on eating and drinking, and to cheat money, after all, there were too many lessons like this.

Even after listening to his personal maid Qiu Yue speak for him, Lin Ruoxi, who did not have the slightest impression of him, continued with his previous proposal: "If you want me to play another song, it's not impossible." But you have to make a poem or a word that I approve of before you can do it. If not, don't bother my purity here. ”

The first reaction was to think of Zhu Fu, who stole some famous works after Jiajing to deal with and win a full house, and after thinking about it, he directly dispelled such thoughts. Even if you read out a good poem or lyric at the moment to take the lead and impress the other party, you will show your feet in the further communication later. Based on his repeated observations of Lin Ruoxi, she will not be that kind of vassal and elegant little woman, I am afraid that she is a well-read, well-educated, and intelligent genius.

Rather than being exposed in front of her, it is better for Zhu Fu, who is clumsy, to avoid his shortcomings and give full play to his strengths: "As for poetry and songs, I don't know anything." However, if we have time to talk about fiction or something, it's okay. For example, I still read the book "Journey to the West". In addition, I also read a strange book that you have never even heard of, "Dream of Red Mansions". In my opinion, the beauty of this book is not ordinary, far better than "Journey to the West". ”

Hearing him say this, Lin Ruoxi, whose interest was directly aroused at once, really hadn't heard of the book "Dream of Red Mansions" surviving. Seeing that Zhu Fu was really talking from beginning to end, she didn't doubt that there was such a strange book. So, Lin Ruoxi, who didn't want him to write poems, said with interest: "Then you can tell me a short paragraph of the details in "Dream of Red Mansions" first. If it's as wonderful as you say, I might as well play a tune for you as a thank you. ”

"Deal." Although he really doesn't understand the rhythm, Zhu Fu, who really likes her to play from the bottom of his heart, thinks that a "Dream of Red Mansions" is not finished, but there are 80 chapters left by Cao Xueqin, plus 40 chapters written by Anonymous. Even if you tell her the main content of the previous time and exchange a guqin song for the same price, you can have a hundred and eighty times.

So, Zhu Fu, who cleared his throat, rolled up his sleeves, put on a storyteller's posture, and began to talk about the first episode in "Dream of Red Mansions" Zhen Shiyin's dream psychic, Jia Yucun's beauty in the dust. Like that, he told Lin Ruoxi in a colorful way, and on the other hand, he also added a gesture of hand movements.

Lin Ruoxi, who has profound cultural literacy, did not have much expectations at first. Although I don't question the existence of such a strange book, I don't believe that the content of the book will be as good as Zhu Fu's boasting. After listening calmly to what he said little by little, I quickly realized some of the wonderful points of this book.

Lin Ruoxi, who is easy to devote and concentrate, once she can listen to it, she will naturally be in a state of self-forgetfulness, so she will not feel that time is passing quickly, but will only feel that it is a blink of an eye, too short. It is precisely because she was born with such outstanding advantages that she learns everything quickly.

Zhu Fu, who was like a river, not only noticed that Lin Ruoxi was fascinated by what he heard, but even Qiu Yue, who was standing next to her, was quite engaged. After finishing the first round of "Dream of Red Mansions", he learned something like something: "I want to know the next decomposition, and I hope that Miss will play a song first." ”
