After Shen Shi, Xie Huizhi and Xie Hanzhi's little brothers got out of school, did not go to play elsewhere with their classmates, and returned home hand in hand.

Less than two quarters of an hour later, the two brothers Xie Xianzhi and Xie Jinzhi, also took the scholars and returned by boat from Zhushan Academy.

All the sons and daughters of the Xie family and Xie Pu, who returned to their hometown of Huyin County, finally reunited.

The brothers were very happy to welcome Xie Mulin's return, and they all pulled her to ask how her life was in the old mansion in the past few days, asked how the old lady Xie was doing, and told her what they had done since returning to their hometown, what they had seen and heard in the academy, and what they had experienced in the family studies...... Xie Huizhi also talked about his newly made friends and a few little jokes made by his younger brother Xie Hanzhi.

He put his arm around Xie Hanzhi's shoulders and said with a sneer: "This kid doesn't even go to the street, he used to go out, he also took his subordinates with him, he bought what he liked, and he never knew the market." He also thought that the ordinary study shop in the county town had those good paper and pens that he was used to selling, and he opened his mouth to ask if there was any high-quality Xuelang paper, and the shopkeeper almost thought that he was smashing the field! ”

Xie Hanzhi blushed with shame and forcibly defended himself: "I just happened to think that there is no Xuelang paper at home, and I want to buy some, so I just ask when I see the study shop, where will I pay special attention, what is sold in other people's shops, and what is not sold?" He glanced at Xie Hui and snorted twice, "Third brother, don't just laugh at me." If it weren't for Brother Jin Duan telling you, you might not know that in Huyin County, there is only one shop that sells those high-quality pen, ink, paper and inkstones. ”

Xie Huizhi reached out and pinched his nose: "Stinky boy, are you laughing at me in reverse?" At least I'll go and ask someone, and I won't run into someone's shop recklessly and be stupid! ”

Xie Hanzhi hurriedly dodged, ran behind Xie Jinzhi to dodge, and made a grimace at Xie Huizhi.

It was the first time Xie Mulin had seen this little fourth brother so lively. In the past, when he appeared, he was either sick-faced, shy and silent, or he was studious and diligent when he held poetry and books to ask his brothers for advice. But overall, this is a Sven child, like a little adult, who never plays and laughs with people.

Now he looks more like a nine-year-old naïve child.

Xie Hanzhi and Xie Huizhi, the two half-brothers, seem to have a closer relationship than before.

Xie Mulin looked at Wanqin who was sitting in the corner, and saw that she was still worried, and she didn't seem to be happy to see Xie Hanzhi and Xie Huizhi close, and she couldn't help but feel a sigh in her heart. This aunt who was born in the Cao family, I am afraid there is still a long way to go if her thoughts are reversed.

Xie Yingfen pulled his younger brother and asked him about his homework today, I don't know if it was intentional or not, and asked him what friends he had made in the family studies.

Xie Hanzhi didn't think much about it, so he answered her honestly. In the past few days when he entered the clan study, he basically talked to people behind Xie Huizhi, and he met any friends he knew. Although he himself is young and shy, he has a cheerful and sociable brother, and he is even familiar with all his classmates in the clan study.

However, when it comes to classmates who have similar temperaments and are willing to interact more, there are only two for the time being: one is Xie Jinduan from the seventh room, who is diligent and willing to take him out to play, and teach him how to treat people and things; The other is Xie Jinzhuang, the youngest son of Jinshi in Wufang, who is eleven years old this year, and is ready to enter the academy, because he likes calligraphy as much as Xie Hanzhi, so he will often chat in one place.

In addition to Xie Pu in the Xie clan, there are two children who have become officials, but the highest official position is only from the sixth grade, which is still far from Xie Pu for the time being. But the two of them are also serious scholars, and they are one of the important pillars of the Xie clan's future transformation into a great family of poetry, writing, etiquette and righteousness. Their descendants are naturally highly valued by the clan. Almost all of the children of the younger generation in Sifang are studying in Zhushan Academy, and their homework is very good; The eldest son of the fifth room has entered the academy and has achieved fame in showing talent. The future development of these two houses is bright, and Xie Hanzhi can make friends with one of them, and it will naturally be of great benefit in the future.

Xie Yingfen was very satisfied, and specially glanced at her biological mother Wanqin. Wanqin's eyes flashed slightly, avoiding her daughter's gaze.

Xie Yingfen didn't say it explicitly, but said to her younger brother: "Since you know these two good friends, get along with them well in the future, don't quarrel and quarrel at every turn." You have to learn their strengths, not only in schoolwork, but also in dealing with others, which is also an important knowledge. It would be even better if these two friends could ask their father and brother for advice. ”

Xie Hanzhi nodded obediently: "Yes, sister." ”

Wen sat on the top seat, happily watching the children talking, listening to the conversation between Xie Hanzhi and Xie Yingfen's sister and brother, and remembering Wanqin's advice before...... She suddenly felt that it was not wrong for her to reject Wanqin at that time. Wanqin is an aunt, what can she know? When children make friends, how can they just look at the identity of each other's parents? They are all one family with one surname, close relatives of the same clan, Han Zhi knows a few good clan brothers, and people have become much more cheerful, what's not bad? If he enters Zhushan Academy now, and his classmates are all scholars who are much older than him, how can he adapt to it? The homework may not be able to keep up, and that is the delay of the child.

Xie Mulin saw that Xie Yingfen's side was temporarily over, so he called Xie Hanzhi and asked him if his homework was tight? Do you understand what Mr. is taught? Do you think the course is too superficial? Is he physically able to eat?

Xie Hanzhi replied honestly: "The homework is not important, I can understand what Mr. said, although it is simple, there are many things that I didn't know before." The gentlemen in the clan studies are far inferior to the Xixi when I was in Jinling in the past, but in terms of scriptures, they teach much better than that gentleman. I've been learning a lot in the past two days, and I'm eager to learn more. It's just that my aunt and sister don't allow me to read too late at night. I go to bed early and wake up early every day, and I don't feel tired at all. ”

Xie Mulin understood, and said with a smile: "Aunt Qin and the fourth sister's words are right. You are still young and your body is weak, no matter how important your homework is, you don't have to rush it, and the most important thing is to take care of your body first. When you are in good health, you will have the capital to study hard. Otherwise, even if you are a great talent once in a thousand years, without a good body, you will not be able to pass the imperial examination, but I am afraid that during the exam, you will not even be able to finish the article, and you will fall ill first. ”

She turned to her two brothers: "The same goes for my brothers. If you are not in good health, no matter how well you study your homework, it will be difficult for you to successfully pass the imperial examination. So I advise you, don't be picky eaters on weekdays, chickens, ducks, fish eggs, vegetables and fruits, but everything that is fresh and in season, you should eat some, and you can also ask Uncle Fang of the Pope how to take tonic according to the season and regulate the body well. In addition, it is best for you to go to bed early and get up early every day, don't stay up late just to read and write, all day long, and don't stay at the desk without moving, walking and jumping in your spare time, playing health boxing, five poultry plays, even if it is walking ten or eight laps around your own yard. In this way, after a year or two, your body has been well recuperated, and your body and bones have been exercised and healthy, even if you stay up for a few days in the examination room of the township examination and the general examination, you can survive, and then it is easy to say that the imperial examination is confident. ”

Xie Xianzhi and Xie Jinzhi glanced at each other, remembering the reminders of the gentlemen in the academy, and they both took their sister's words seriously.

Wen smiled and clapped his hands: "Okay, it's almost time, let's get ready for dinner." After dinner, I will take Xianzhi and Sister Zhen to the second room to greet the second old lady. ”

I want to talk about "Mu Lin" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
