"The scholar should be in three provinces a day, in harmony with the township, as far as I know, he has never offended you, he has no grievances with your family, and he has a friendship with your eldest son, my husband came to visit with sincerity, you drove people out, and now he is still like a shrew in the village to make a big fuss, as a gentry, poetry and book heirlooms, this little face is gone?"

"I ......" Shen Qian was so angry that he smoked, and only then did he realize that he had no eloquence, and he was speechless for a yellow-haired little girl, but deep down, he actually agreed with Jiang Yi a little.

"The so-called upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, what you do today makes your children and nephews look at it, do you want them to learn from it in the future, not to honor their ancestors, and not to respect the township? Beggar-thy-neighbor? ”

The phrase "you ......" hit him directly to the heart.

He is forty years old this year, and he has taken countless exams to show his talents, and he has returned home every time.

Now, he pins all his hopes on his son.

Especially the eldest son Shen Qingzhou, this son has been smart since he was a child, and he is particularly spiritual in reading, he can fully recite three hundred thousand thousand at the age of eleven, and then follow himself to learn four books, and his talent amazes him even more. Not only does he have a good memory, but he can also draw inferences from the contents of the four books.

Since the beginning of last year, the eldest son began to learn to make fuss with himself.

Just two months before the Chinese New Year, he prepared his proudest article of the year and his son's best article, and got the county's teaching review together.

Without knowing that one of these articles was written by the eldest son, the parable bluntly said that the son's articles were more spiritual and literary than his own.

He has already planned that he will let his son try the imperial examination in the spring next year, and maybe he will be admitted to Xiucai at one time and glorify his ancestors.

If it is really as Jiang Yi said, what he did today has affected his son's state of mind, then he is the sinner of the family.

"Father, let's go back." Shen Qingzhou, who had been standing next to him without speaking, gently pulled Shen Qian's coat in a daze.

"If a person wants to study seriously, he definitely needs an atmosphere, and there are one or two book friends around who can talk to each other to discuss and absorb each other's views and strengths, which is beneficial to both of them, and Mr. Shen doesn't want his son to have more book friends."

"Joke, my eldest nephew is also comparable to your family's mud legs?"

"Whether it can be compared or not, you have to compare to know."

"Well, next spring will be the year of Xiaobi, I will compare with my classmates to see who is more powerful."

Jiang Yi looked at Buru next to him.

It happened that Bu Ru also looked over, and when he saw his wife's encouraging eyes, he took a step forward and said; "Okay, let's make an agreement here today, next year's spring test, let's see who is more powerful."

At this point, everyone dispersed.

Shen Qian was the first to turn around and leave.

And Shen Qingzhou hugged his fists to Buru and followed his father back to the house.

On the way back, Jiang Yi saw Buru's sword eyebrows locked, so he asked with a smile; "What's wrong? Are you worried that you can't beat him? ”

"No, I'm thinking, why have you become so bold, lady, and you don't speak like you who used to be submissive, people like Shen Qian can speak dumbly for you, compared to me, I seem much useless."

"People will always grow, since I almost died of illness last time, I heard my husband crying by my bedside, and I heard my husband quarrel with my sister-in-law for me, I thought, is this kind of life what I want? After seeing death once, I feel that there is nothing to be afraid of living, not to mention the hardships encountered in life, it is not worth being afraid of, the more you are afraid, the more you avoid, the more people bully others. ”

Hearing this, Bu Ru lowered his head and thought silently.

In the evening, everyone had dinner, at this time the chickens, ducks, cows and pigs had already returned to the nest, Chen's mother cleaned up the grocery store as always, and after cleaning up, began to boil water and take a bath.

And Jiang Yi and his wife, Chen Zhi, and Jiang Zhen and a few young people, relying on their good eyesight, did not light the lamp, chatted in the moonlight, crossed the reinforced bamboo bridge, and walked to the house over there.

Jiang Zhen and Chen Zhi walked in front, crossed the bridge, rushed into the house, lit the oil lamp first, and then took out the book and sat down, waiting for the arrival of Bu Ru.

It's time for evening study again.

Jiang Yi made Bu Ru a cup of tea first, and then sat down next to him.

Bu Ru opened the book and said; "Yesterday, we have finished learning the three-character scripture, and you have all memorized it, which is very good, starting today, we will learn the surnames of hundreds of families."

"I've learned the Three Character Sutra so quickly, in fact, I like to learn this very much." Jiang Zhen flattened his mouth, the reason why he likes the Three Character Classic is because every sentence in the Three Character Classic will contain some historical allusions, and while learning, he will talk about the allusions in it, just like listening to a story, which is very embarrassing.

"yes, I love it too."

"If you like it, I'll take the time to read it a few times, and everything you learn will always improve, what's the point of always learning the same book? When you learn more, you will find that there are many interesting stories to come. ”

"Oh, well!" Jiang Zhen and Chen Zhi both nodded.

""Hundred Family Names" is relatively speaking, in fact, it is the easiest to learn, there are some surnames in it, you just need to know and memorize it, these words, you can write it, unlike the "Three Character Classic", those allusions have to be remembered......"

There are more and more spring insects outside, and there will be bursts of sound like a symphony at night, but it makes the night seem more quiet.

Two young boys, under the teaching of an older boy, began to read aloud; "Zhao Qian, Sun Li, Zhou Wu, Zheng Wang, Feng Chen, Chu Wei, Jiang Shen, Han Yang, ......"

Jiang Yi will also read softly next to him.

In fact, she doesn't need to learn these things, her knowledge should be the best among these four people, but if she doesn't follow the study, how will she explain that she knows words in the future?

So as early as more than a month ago, she pretended to follow along.

She actually likes this in her heart, and the atmosphere of everyone learning together is very beautiful and warm.

After finishing the work in the grocery department, Chen's mother, who made the bed and kept hot water, would come over at this time.

She would take the initiative to help Jiang Yi and Buru boil hot water, then sit at the door, and then light up shoes, sew clothes, or do some other handwork.

While she kept an eye on the fire boiling water, she listened to a few young people read, and from time to time she looked at the grocery department opposite, and whenever this happened, her heart was always calm.

After finishing reading, Jiang Zhen and Chen Zhi would go back to sleep in the grocery department with Chen's mother.

Chen's mother made a small bed in the store, while Jiang Zhen and Chen Zhi slept together in the utility room next to the bullpen.

After taking a shower, Bu Ru will continue to read the book for an hour.

Jiang Yi washed in the back, cleaned up the room after washing, and then accompanied Buru for half an hour before going to sleep first.

This half hour is the time for their husband and wife to communicate deeply.
