Chapter 6: The Four Books and the Five Classics
As soon as the next day dawned, Xu Liang woke up, there was no way, after thinking about it, there was nothing in the room except the bed, tables and stools, Xu Liang had no choice but to go to bed early, and he would naturally wake up early if he slept early.
After failing to do ideological work with the two guards outside the door again, Xu Liang also gave up, moved a bench and sat on the edge of the door, watching the sunrise outside through the crack in the door.
After looking at it for a while, I saw Tietou approaching with a large package in his arms.
Xu Liang Daqi: "Ah Tie, what are you holding in your hand?" Is it eaten? You're too polite to make so many of them, hehe. ”
The iron head shook like a rattle, he wrapped the cloth on the ground and spread it out, and took it out the same way, Xu Liang could see it clearly, and a copy was lined up, and then it also appeared on the ground.
Xu Liang was stunned, and asked, "Ah Tie, don't you know what to do with bringing me some snacks early in the morning, and getting so many books?" Can a book be served for breakfast? ”
Tietou smiled, "Young master, my fourth grandfather said that the autumn season is coming, since you won't be able to get out of the Siguo room for a while, then it's the same to treat the Siguo room as a study." The fourth grandfather asked me to bring a few books over to the young master to review and review. ”
"Huh?" Xu Liang stretched out his hand and pulled out a book from outside the door and put it on his lap and flipped through it, and after reading a few lines of bullshit ancient sayings, he couldn't help but feel dizzy, he screamed, "Ah Tie, even if the fourth master of Tie asks you to bring me a book, it is enough for you to take one or two books, you move so many at once, is it expected that the young master will be locked up until Qiuqiu before he can come out?" ”
"Huh?" Tie Tou paused to take the book out, and scratched his head embarrassedly, "I really didn't expect this, I went to your study, looked at several books on the shelf, how do I know which one you want to read, I just carried it all over, oh, there is a bag outside......"
"Oh my God......" Xu Liang lay down on the bench weakly, how could Lao Tzu be such a fool of you!!
Tietou didn't care about Young Master Liang's mood, he blew out the dust of each book very carefully, and stuffed it into the thinking room one by one very responsibly. When the two big bags of books were stuffed into him, Xu Liang was completely speechless.
Tietou looked at the empty two cloth bags under his feet with satisfaction, clapped his hands, and threw down a sentence, "Young master, take your time, I have to go to the old man's room to guard." ”
Xu Liang squinted on the bench for a while, and only sat up again when a family member brought breakfast over.
The tall pile of books at the door startled the cooks, and he carefully bypassed the pile of books, put his breakfast on the edge of the table, and ran out as if he were flying.
Xu Liang looked at this pile of old books, and couldn't help but grow his head for a while. It's not very good to play Xiao Xu Liang's language course, and he has been hovering on the passing line from junior high school to high school, and he basically knows every word in ancient Chinese, but he doesn't quite understand the meaning when he puts it together. He pulled out a few books and flipped through them, and found that except for a few that he could understand, the other books were like reading books to him.
Patiently flipped through the two books, Xu Liang gave up decisively, even if he studied diligently from now on, no matter how much less than half a month could compare to him, it was impossible to compare with those poor and sour talents who had read books for more than ten or twenty years. What to do? Could it be that he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, but he could only be a poor talent in Wan'an County, and he had to look at the face of the Xu family until he died? Thinking of this, Xu Liang felt a chill. No, I think Lao Tzu is a dignified undergraduate graduate of a famous Chinese university, and he was also a figure who fought in the sea of many Wenshan questions back then, how could he fall in the imperial examination of the small Ming Dynasty? Xu Liang thought of the high school year, the Chinese teacher prepared the essay model, there were one or two times, Xu Liang directly from a few sample essays copied the West into an essay, the final score was not low, thinking of this Xu Liang couldn't help but light up, the so-called waterway is not passable, we take the dry road, all roads lead to Rome, hard power does not work, we will develop soft power, the foundation almost we have to take the idea of opportunism, the so-called book read a hundred times, its meaning is self-revealed, Lao Tzu is open, the idea of the Ming Dynasty several champions of the exam questions to find out and memorize, It's really not good, Lao Tzu dismantled and pieced together in the examination room, hum, a big copy of the world's articles, if you don't copy it, I will copy it, no matter what, you have to deal with Qiu Qiu.
After Xu Liang made up his mind, he did what he said, and immediately called Tietou and asked him to find a few exam papers for the champion of the Ming Dynasty to bring them. To say that this Han person also has the benefits of a Han person, Tietou collected more than 30 copies of the examination papers of the Ming Dynasty's previous autumn festivals and sent them to Xu Liang. Xu Liang was overjoyed, and he didn't care if it was good or bad, so he read it all first.
By the time Xu Liang finished reading the exam paper, it was afternoon. I don't know when the lunch box food put on the table has long been cold. But fortunately, it's summer, so it's cooler and more delicious.
When Xu Liang was halfway through eating, a crisp girl's voice came from outside the door, which sounded as smart as the call of a lark.
"Third brother? Third brother? Xiaoru has come to see you! ”
The guard at the door accompanied Xu Ru, the fourth young sister of the Xu family, and carefully stopped it.
"Miss Ru, the eldest lady has ordered, no one is allowed to release the third young master without her order."
Xu Ru was eleven or twelve years old, wearing a moth yellow dress, wrinkled her little nose when she heard the words, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Can't I look at the third brother through the crack in the door?" ”
The caretaker replied more carefully, "Well, if Miss Ru doesn't go in, it's naturally okay to take a look outside."
Xu Ru glared at her dark eyes when she heard this, "Then you don't go away, Miss Ben wants to talk to the third brother in a whisper!" ”
Poor two caretakers were sent to see Xu Liang, but they never dared to offend the fourth lady, who in the Xu family compound did not know that these four young ladies not only won the favor of Xu Changkun in the long room, but also won the love of the old lady Xu, and it is said that this fourth lady is very willful, and she has to distinguish three points if she is unreasonable, and she offends such an ancestor, and she can still be good in the Xu family in the future?
The two family members glanced at each other, and carefully retreated five or six meters with Xiaoxiao, but their eyes were always paying attention to the door of the room.
Xu Ru's face was happy, she lifted her skirt and walked to the door in three or two steps, and shouted through the crack in the door.
"Third brother, Xiaoru has come to see you."
Although the eldest lady was extremely mean to Xu Liang, this Miss Ru Si was very good to her nominal brother, which Xu Liang recalled from his mind after hearing Xu Ru's voice.
Xu Liang put down the answer sheet in his hand, walked to the door, and said to the little girl Xu Ru with a smile: "Fourth sister, why are you here?" ”
"Third brother, after I came back from the school, I heard that you locked up my mother, and today I hurriedly came to see you while Aunt Lian was away." The little girl Xu Ru blinked her big black eyes and said, she saw the pile of books stacked by the door, and couldn't help but be impressed, and shouted in surprise: "Wow, third brother, you are so smart, you actually thought of blocking the door with a book, oops, why am I so stupid, I didn't expect it," she showed a happy look on her face, "If I block the door with books every morning, then I don't have to go to the school?!" ”
Xu Liang was stunned when he heard this, and praised with a smile on his face for a while: "The fourth sister is really smart and witty, and she can think of such a clever method." ”
Xu Ru listened to the encouragement of the third brother, and was greatly excited, secretly thinking that he would try it immediately after going back. After a while, she said very frustratedly: "Third brother, I'm really useless, I ran to find my mother after you were locked up, and asked her to let you go, but how did I beg her, she just didn't agree, and finally yelled at me......, third brother, you won't blame me, right?" ”
Xu Liang was greatly moved when he heard this, stretched out a hand through the crack in the door and held Xu Ru's white and red arm, and said, "Fourth sister don't worry about me, the third brother naturally has a way to go out, don't talk about me in front of your mother after you go back, so as not to upset her." ”
Xu Ru's face turned red, she struggled slightly, she didn't break free of the hand held by Xu Liang, and thought in her heart that he was her third brother, so what did it matter if her third brother touched his arm? He didn't break free anymore, let Xu Liang hold it in his hand, feeling the temperature of Xu Liang's palm, Xu Ru comforted in a low voice: "Third brother will wronged you to stay in the Siguo room for two days first, and then I will go back to persuade my mother, and I must ask my mother to let you out earlier." She turned her head and looked at the two guards standing not far away, and whispered to Xu Liang: "Third brother, don't worry, as soon as I heard that you were locked up by my mother again, I asked someone to inform my grandfather, I estimate that the person I sent is almost to Tianhu Mountain, you can endure it for two more days, as long as grandpa comes back, you will come out!" ”
Miss Xu Ru talked to Xu Liang through the door for a while before leaving.
As soon as Xu Ru entered the courtyard gate of the Xu family's big house, she saw the eldest lady and the lotus flower standing on the edge of the lotus pond to enjoy the flowers. ”
When Xu Ru approached, the eldest lady said angrily: "You see where are you running crazy?" The corners of the skirt, the sleeves are covered with a layer of ash. Lotus, quickly take the fourth lady into the room to wash and change into clean clothes. ”
Xu Ru stuck out her tongue and followed the lotus, muttering as she walked, "Isn't it just a little dusty, well, the ground in front of the house is inevitably too dirty, and one day you have to ask someone to clean it well, otherwise, the third brother's clothes will also be dirty." ”
The eldest lady heard it clearly in the back, and hurriedly stopped: "Hey, come back." ”
"Mother, what's wrong again?" Xu Ru asked impatiently.
The eldest lady straightened her face, "Did you secretly run to see your third brother again?" ”
"yes." Xu Ru blinked her eyes, not understanding what was wrong with going to see the third brother.
"You, you," the eldest lady pointed at Xu Ru with her finger, "You were still young before, and it was okay to follow Liang San'er's ass all day long, but now you are twelve in the blink of an eye, and you are about to find someone from your mother-in-law's family, so you have to pay more attention to your identity, and it is serious to be close to your eldest brother and second brother." ”
"Isn't the third brother also my brother? Why am I wrong with him? Xu Ru asked strangely.
The eldest lady's face changed, she shook her hand, raised her voice and said, "In short, it's right that you don't have to deal with that Liang San'er." Also, when you went to think about the room, what was Liang San'er doing? ”
Xu Ru was angry in her heart, and when she heard the words, she pretended to pace a few steps lightly, and said: "You said that the third brother, this is about to be autumn, people are people who want to solve the yuan, naturally they are reading, mother, let me tell you, the third brother is serious about reading" She raised her two hands above her head, thought about it and put it down to her chest, glanced at the eldest lady, and then said, "The books that moved to the Siguo room are piled up so much, so high, they are about to block the door tightly!" ”
Xu Ru took two more steps, as if she suddenly remembered something, and said in a panic: "Ah, I have to dare to go and see the eldest brother quickly, the eldest brother originally Wencai and the third brother were half a catty and eight taels, and now the third brother is working so hard, I have to remind the eldest brother, but don't be compared to the third brother, otherwise, mother, you will have no face at that time, right?" Mother, the child is going to see the eldest brother. ”
The eldest lady clenched her silver teeth when she heard this, and when she saw her daughter turn the arch in a puff of smoke, she could no longer see her figure, so she said hatefully: "What a little white-eyed wolf, why did I, Yang Caifeng, give birth to such a daughter, I am really angry." ”
"Madame doesn't need to be angry," Lotus said with a smile, "Fourth Miss is originally such a personality, and our old lady still likes Fourth Miss's straightforward energy." Hey, ma'am, don't you look at the flowers? ”
The eldest lady didn't stop, shook her handkerchief back, and said: "Where do I still have the heart to enjoy the flowers now, I also have to go to see Jiang'er, and I have to urge him to work hard......"
