Chapter 003: Qin Xuan's Nephew

The bright moonlight is cool with dewdrops. shine into the house and throw yourself on the ground to play. The flickering flame of an oil lamp illuminates all directions. The water boiled at the end of the tea leaves was a relatively popular drink in the Tang Dynasty. The tea in the pottery bowl is still warm, and the water vapor is leisurely rising. The old table table was a little low in Qin Xuan's opinion, and the height of one foot made Qin Xuan on the square couch have to sit cross-legged.

"Uncle, do you have pen and paper at home? Rui'er wants to study, I should prepare. Thinking of so many e-books in his mobile phone, Qin Xuan is confident that he will be able to teach Xiao Rui'er to get ahead.

Zhang Lao picked up the pottery bowl and took a sip. "When I started studying, I was as old as Rui'er. I vaguely remember when my father gave me a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, I was very happy. Slowly putting down the pottery bowl, Zhang Lao was immersed in the beauty of memory. I guess that if Rui'er could study, I am afraid that it would be not much different from my mood at that time. ”

Looking at the self-evident smile on Old Zhang's face, Qin Xuan said with a smile: "Uncle, that time must be your best memory." ”

"Yes, it's really nostalgic. Well, let's not talk about that. Rui'er wants to study, and I should support it. I also had the idea of teaching Rui'er to read, but there were no books and no way to teach, so I have been delaying until now. Zhang Lao's thoughts returned to reality from his memories and said helplessly.

"What does my uncle mean, there is no pen and paper at home?" Qin Xuan didn't have much of a loss, after all, these things were not prepared by ordinary people.

Forget it, let's wait until you have money! Just as Qin Xuan was about to dispel his thoughts, Zhang Lao asked: "Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, the set that my father gave me is still there, why don't you wait until you go to the capital to buy the book and straw paper, can you teach Rui'er again?" ”

"Don't worry about Uncle Lao, as long as there is a pen and paper, I have a way." Qin Xuan patted his chest and reassured.

Glancing at Qin Xuan suspiciously, Zhang Lao didn't delve into it. "Good, good, good! If you have a way, that's good. Thinking that Rui'er could read, a happy smile appeared on Zhang Lao's face.

Zhang Lao got up and picked up the oil lamp to signal Qin Xuan to follow, and then turned into the inner room. In the faint light, Xiao Rui'er fell asleep peacefully. Xu had some kind of sweet dream, and he smiled. Qin Xuan stepped forward to help Xiao Rui'er cover the quilt, and Zhang Lao on the side was very relieved to see Qin Xuan's actions. Lifting up the recess covered by the coarse cloth on the wall, Zhang Lao took out a one-foot-square wooden box. The whole body is pitch black, with some faint patterns.

"Zhihao, this set of stationery was left to me by my father, you can use it!"

Taking the wooden box from Zhang Lao's hand, Qin Xuan put down a sentence, "Uncle, rest early, I'll go and prepare." So he went straight to the Xili house where he lived alone.

When I opened the wooden box, I saw neatly placed pen, ink, paper, and inkstones. A brush, a little old but exceptionally clean, the front end of the brush is neatly combed. The edges and corners of a stone inkstone are no longer distinct, and it must be caused by frequent use. A small piece of ancient ink and a stack of straw paper don't seem to be of the highest quality.

I took out the phone from my clothes, turned it on, and there was still a lot of power left. Qin Xuan, who had been planning for a long time, hurriedly lowered the brightness. Turning out the "Three Character Classic", comparing the traditional characters on the Xinhua dictionary software, under the faint oil lamp, in accordance with the order from top to bottom, from right to left, carefully copied stroke by stroke. I can't help but sigh in my heart, thanks to the fact that I learned calligraphy before, otherwise it would be useless to have these e-books.

The sky was gradually dawning, and the pale blue sky was studded with a few remnant stars, and the earth was hazy, like a light veil shrouded in silver-gray. Qin Xuan, who had only rested for more than an hour, got up. With the paper manuscript written last night, I couldn't wait to find Zhang Lao to complete the last process of the "Three Character Classic".

Zhang Lao was already boiling hot water in the hall. "Uncle, you woke up so early!" Qin Xuan walked straight to Zhang Lao and sat on the stool on the side.

"Get used to it."

"Uncle, do you have hemp rope at home? I silently wrote a book and wanted to bind it. ”

"Hemp rope? Wait and I'll find out. ”

Zhang Lao seemed to be very interested, not only looking for hemp rope, but also a piece of sheepskin. The sheepskin was used as a table, the hemp rope was sewn, and the masterpiece of the "Three Character Classic" was completed in a short time. Looking at the masterpiece in his hand that was not very beautiful, Qin Xuan was so proud in his heart.

In the east, the sun came out of Guangling Mountain gracefully, and Xiao Rui'er excitedly ran to Qin Xuan to study. Looking at Xiao Rui'er's eager expression, Qin Xuan couldn't help but secretly resolve in his heart that he must teach Rui'er to get ahead!

"Rui'er, uncle will teach you some briefly, and then we will teach you well when we get to Kyoto and settle down."

Xiao Rui'er looked stupid, but she didn't care about Kyoto or anything in the future, anyway, she could learn it now after listening to her uncle, so she nodded fiercely.

"Let's go, go to the courtyard first, my uncle will teach you a set of supreme exercises, and then come back to study!"

The morning sun is quiet and elegant, without that noisy atmosphere, which makes people feel calm and relaxed. Xiao Rui'er stood straight in front of Qin Xuan, quietly waiting for her uncle to teach the so-called exercises.

"This set of exercises taught by my uncle is called "Gymnastics", and as the name suggests, it is a physical exercise. It is divided into eight sections: upper limbs, neck, chest expansion, body rotation, lower limbs, whole body, running and jumping, and finishing. Each section has a different emphasis, and the whole set is interlocking. Long-term practice can not only promote physical health, but also make people energetic. Start with standard standing. Keep your heels close together, your toes slightly apart, your legs straight, your head up, your chest up, and your eyes ahead. Qin Xuan corrected Xiao Rui'er's movements while explaining the essentials. The muscles should be strained, and the body should not be shaky. ”

The master teaches well, and the apprentice learns diligently. In less than an hour, Xiao Ruier stood in a standard posture and acted in a decent manner. Seeing Xiao Rui'er's serious attitude, the corners of Qin Xuan's mouth rose slightly. "Okay, Rui'er, there is no paper at home, and I will learn to read and write later. Now I am studying the "Three Character Classic" with my uncle."

"At the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away. Qin Xuan took his masterpiece of struggle for half a night, and shook his head and read it like the ancients, quite like an ancient pedant.

"At the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away. Xiao Zhang Rui also learned to shake his head and read along.

"This means that people are all good people when they are born, and it is only because of the different growth process and learning environment that their temperament is divided into good and evil."

"If you don't teach, sex is migration. The way of teaching is to be specialized. Seeing that Xiao Zhang Rui seemed to be able to understand, Qin Xuan continued to read.

"If you don't teach, sex is migration. The way of teaching is to be specialized. ”

And this sentence means: If you don't standardize education from an early age, your good nature will become bad. The most important way to keep people unchanged is to educate them attentively and consistently. ”

Xiao Rui'er touched the tip of her nose, looked at Qin Xuan with watery eyes and asked, "Uncle, if you don't educate you well since you were a child, you will become a bad person?" ”

"This ...... Not necessarily, but the possibility of becoming a bad guy is higher. ”

"Uncle, I'm going out after noon." Xiao Rui'er's words really balanced Qin Xuan's heart a lot: I thought you were so studious this little rabbit cub, it turned out that you were as playful as when I was a child!

After talking about the meaning, Qin Xuan led Xiao Rui'er to read it over and over again. The two of them who were concentrating did not notice that Zhang Lao, who was sorting out the herbs on the side, had already stopped, and sat on the stone under the jujube tree and listened carefully, and a bright smile on his wrinkled face never left for a long time......

It wasn't until noon that Xiao Rui'er let Qin Xuan go. Qin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: What is the situation with this little rabbit cub, he wants to play after noon, and he is so hard before noon! I really don't know what to think, I'm almost tired of falling apart as a gentleman.

Zhang Lao walked over with a smile and asked, "Are you tired, go to the house and have a cup of tea." ”

"It's okay, uncle, Rui'er is also new to contact, so she worked harder."

"No, Rui'er, this kid is very smart, and he won't give up halfway. You know, he gets along well with a few children in the village. Zhang Lao stroked the goat's whiskers and stared at Qin Xuan.

Qin Xuan, who was about to continue asking, suddenly understood. Looking at Zhang Lao again, I couldn't help but feel a trace of admiration in my heart.

The riverside at the head of the village glows with a faint golden light under the bright sunshine. Little Rui'er and seven or eight children frolicked over.

"Let's go down to the river to catch fish, we're tired of playing with the mud." A dark-skinned, well-built boy about the same age as Little Rui'er excitedly proposed.

"That's it, listen to Zhang Jing, when I go home after playing with mud, my mother should scold me again." The scrawny, low-pitched boy reached out and put his arm around Zhang Jing's waist and seconded.

"Zhang Jing, Duan Wei, listen to me first, I studied with my uncle today, and I also learned "Gymnastics". Little Ruier was clearly not interested in their proposal.

"What's so good about studying, so boring!" Looking like a small **, Wang Hao, who shook his head, said disdainfully.

"Rui'er, I want to study too, can you teach me?" Zhang Jing restrained her smile and looked at Xiao Rui'er with envy and expectation.

"I want it too!" Duan Wei didn't know if he was used to echoing Zhang Jing, or if he wanted to.

"Cut, you should study with Zhang Rui, I don't want it!" Wang Hao scoffed at this, said coldly, and then turned his head and left.

The sparkling river is desperately heading east. Several children on the riverside read aloud as well, and the sound of reading loudly was particularly loud. When there was only the last afterglow of the sunset, Xiao Ruier said earnestly: "I will leave Zhangjiazhuang in a few days." ”

"Why? Rui'er, don't go, let's play together! Zhang Jing has always played the identity of a big brother and blurted out his debut.

"That's right, Rui'er!" Duan Wei also did the things of his vassal as always.

"Uncle is going to take me and my grandfather to the capital! I teach you the "Three Character Sutra", and you have to recite it from time to time. Uncle said that if you don't study hard, you may become a bad person. You're all good friends of mine, and I don't want you to be bad people in the future. ”

"Yes, we will."

Since then, the villagers of Zhangjiazhuang have heard children chanting loudly from time to time, "At the beginning of a person, nature is good." Sex is similar, Xi is far away. Something like that.;
