Although Lin Jin didn't want to take the imperial examination, since she agreed to Lin Ruhai and said what she said, on the day of school, she packed up neatly and honestly went to school at the prefect's house in Yangzhou.

It's just that although Mr. Li, who teaches at the home of the Yangzhou prefect, is also from a Jinshi, his teaching level is 108,000 miles behind Jia Yucun, and his attitude is also very problematic.

Within a few days of going to school, Lin Jin was hit several times. She was beaten not because she didn't answer Mr. Shang's question, or didn't make an article, but because she asked something other than the four books, but it was not the miscellaneous science that the scholars in this world think, and it was still somewhat related to the imperial examination, but Mr. Li couldn't answer, he was annoyed and angry, and he taught her several times under the banner of "not doing business".

saw through Mr. Li is the kind of pedantic scholar who doesn't understand anything and doesn't know anything except the four books, and when he taught her to write Baguwen, he didn't explain why he solved the problem so much, why he wrote it like this, etc., just dry regulations, if it doesn't work, it has to be like that, as if doing math problems, Lin Jin is tired to death.

……

Lin Jin is tired from studying, but Daiyu is the opposite, she is very relaxed in Jiafu.

The place where the three girls in Rongguo's mansion studied was in the two houses that had been cleaned up in the back garden, and the lesson for them was an old man with white teeth and shaking.

Don't look at Daiyu when she entered the house, Jia's mother asked her what books she read, and she replied: I just read "Four Books". In fact, she is modest, you know, she can help Lin Jin write eight strands, so she knows all four books and five classics.

Originally, she asked Jia's mother, what books did the sisters read? Jia Mu said, "What kind of book you read, you just recognize two words, not a blind man with open eyes." made her think that Jia's mother admired the set of "a woman's lack of talent is virtue", so when she saw Baoyu later, when Baoyu asked her what book she was reading, she was busy changing her words to "just know a few words" according to her guessed mother's mind.

But after she and Sanchun went to school together, Daiyu felt that she might have guessed Jia's mother's mind wrong that day. These cousins of my grandmother's family are studying, but I am afraid that they really know two words, as my grandmother said. Because Yingchun, Tanchun and Cherishing Spring are all too simple to learn, they are still in the enlightenment stage.

Although Yingchun is an older sister, she has been studying for more than four years and almost five years of school, but the progress is the same as that of Tanchun. The two of them have finished learning thousand, three, and hundred, and are listening to the teacher explain the book "Sound Rhythm Enlightenment"; And Xichun has just finished learning "Thousand Character Text", and is reciting the "Three Character Classic" in the "Three Character Classic" according to the teacher's requirements. But to put it simply, you can know the original. These few words.

In this regard, Daiyu was very puzzled, thinking that her grandmother had cultivated a poetic and bookish character like her mother, how could she not attach importance to reading? As she understood the matter, she realized that this old Confucian was invited by the government to teach Yuan Chun, and Sanchun was just a light and studied together.

Therefore, when Yuan Chun was there, as the focus of the professor, most of the old Confucian's energy was put on her, even if it was already determined that she would be sent to the palace and give Yuan Chun as a companion, the big girl who hugged the qin, spent more thought than Sanchun. In this way, where can he still take care of Sanchun and them, so it is very good that they can learn like this.

At Daiyu's level, taking classes with Sanchun is like a college student going to elementary school, very boring, but she doesn't go to school, her peers in the house, Sanchun and Baoyu both go to school, she has no companion, and there is nothing else to do in the house, so she can't help but be a little bored, so after thinking about it, she took the arithmetic book that Lin Jin gave her to the class and learned.

It's not that she doesn't want to take books like the Four Books and the Five Classics, it's that she's worried that after she gets it to class, after being seen by Sanchun, she thinks that she reads more books than them, showing off, and even oppressing them; As for the number counting book, there is no concern about this, because Daiyu's mathematics is in the initial stage of enlightenment, and it is only at the level of the second or third grade of primary school.

Daiyu brought the counting book to the school, which can be said to be crooked, because if she came to the school with the Four Books and Five Classics, and met the old Confucian who did not understand and invited the Jia family to teach Sanchun, she would not be able to force the old Confucian to quit the museum.

Don't look at this gentleman being crowned with the title of "Old Confucian", in fact, he is not even a showman, just an old boy who has tried and failed, but because he was the same year as Jia Dairu in the family studies, he has a good relationship, because of this relationship, he was recommended by Jia Dairu to teach Sanchun to study.

Due to the defense of men and women, in the case of not being able to find a suitable female gentleman, Yuan Chun was determined to be sent to the palace early, and it was decided that if it was a man who taught her to read and write, it must be an old man. Mrs. Wang, who is the master of the house, was born in the Wang family, which does not let girls read and write at all, so Mrs. Wang does not have too high requirements for the knowledge of the teacher who teaches Yuanchun knowledge.

……

After dispersing school, Daiyu was useless to serve the people, so she personally packed up the study utensils and put them in the schoolbag, and the snow goose squeezed away the spring fiber and stepped forward to carry the bookbag.

Xichun saw that she was leaving, so she hurriedly put the girl she threw into the painting, ran to her in three steps and two steps, and asked with a smile: "Sister Lin, will you go back to the room in a while?" ”

Daiyu let out an "um".

Xichun cheered, stepped forward to hold her arm, and said with a smile: "Great." Sister Lin, I haven't finished reading the book I read with you the day before yesterday, and I want to finish reading it again. But yesterday I went to look for you, but you weren't there, and the girl in your room didn't dare to call the shots, so I had to wait another day. You don't know, this day, because of the book I didn't finish, my heart scratched and scratched, I didn't eat raw, and I didn't sleep well. ”

Hearing this, Tanchun interjected and asked, "What good book makes you so fascinated?" ”

Xichun was afraid that Tanchun would find out, so he robbed her, made a grimace at her, and said, "I won't tell you." ”

Daiyu glanced at Yingchun who was slow on the side, and beckoned: "Second sister, third sister, I also received some things from home, which contain some relatively novel food, do you want to taste it?" ”

Sitting in Daiyu's room, Yuou placed a dish containing four kinds of dried fruits from abroad, charcoal-roasted cashew nuts, salt-baked almonds, plain pistachios, and creamy small walnuts.

Zijuan followed behind, holding a ruffled tray and placing the tea in the porcelain bowl after the rain in front of the girls.

Tanchun reached out and took a small walnut in his hand, looked at it, and said, "What is this thing, it looks very similar to the fragrant nut?" ”

"Third girl, this is not a fragrant tree, it's just similar in appearance." After introducing the names of the four dried fruits, Yuou added: "These dried fruits are not from our Daqin, they are all from overseas.

Cashew nuts and pistachios have a unique taste, and the almonds and this small walnut are named because the taste is similar to that of peaches and walnuts in our country. But the kernels of almonds are larger and thicker, and this small walnut has a thinner skin than our native walnuts in Datan, and can be pinched open with a light pinch. ”

Yingchun and Tanchun tasted it with interest, and Xichun asked Daiyu for the book she hadn't finished reading the day before yesterday, and complained: "Sister Lin, you are too stingy, I promised you, that book, absolutely what it was when it was taken away, and what it was when it was returned, there will be no stains and creases or anything like that, but you won't let go." ”

Daiyu ordered Yuou to bring the book, and explained: "It's really not that I'm stingy, this book is not mine, it's my eldest brother's." I borrowed it from my brother Sumire that day, but I was about to enter Beijing before I finished reading it, and I secretly brought this book with me without his permission. Later, he wrote a letter full of paper to complain to me, and repeatedly told me that I had to return him as it was. So, if you want to see it, you can only watch it here, so as not to make a mistake, I can't explain it to Brother Sumire. ”

Lin Jin felt that the reason why Daiyu was weak and sickly was not only because of her poor health, but also because she was in a deep boudoir, she was depressed, she was worried, and she was mixed up, and her body was even weaker. Therefore, Daiyu has always been taught to maintain a broad state of mind, and not to linger in the heart of things to be happy and sad.

But that's easier said than done. After all, it is not easy for everyone in this era to go out frequently, so she found some books from the library such as geographical maps, local customs, strange customs, jokes and Guanglin for Daiyu to see. She found these books from the library, cut them, and then copied them on the color printer in the library.

When Lin Jin took a book like "Animal World" for the first time through a photocopier and was about to show it to Daiyu, she was surprised and delighted to find that the consumed ink in the photocopier had recovered after 24 hours.

I knew that the ink in the photocopier belonged to something that could be recovered after being consumed, so why did she bother to copy the math books that she took out before? I was so tired that I didn't say anything, and it took a lot of time, so I was simply asking for my own guilt.

After knowing that ink is an item that will never be consumed, for a while, Lin Jin simply let go of herself and put some miscellaneous things in the library, such as the introduction of world flowers, world animals, comics, and villain books、...... Relying on the restrictions of those books that do not conform to this era, I can't take them out, so I make a lot of copies of some books that I think are interesting and can increase my knowledge, and will not reveal her identity and the world before she traveled, and take them out to read with Daiyu.

After Daiyu read it, she really couldn't put it down, so she neglected a lot of poems and songs that were sad and sad, and these novel, interesting, and interesting books broadened her horizons and made her mood much brighter.
