009: The mind of the five rooms

If you want to enter the family study, this is progressive!

Cheng Qing did not blindly immerse herself in the grief of losing her father, but cheered up and began to plan her future, and Li's first impression of her increased from three points to five points.

The deceased is difficult to trace, the living are more important, Li likes her transparency, and after asking her about her learning progress, Li is very dissatisfied!

This dissatisfaction is not directed at Cheng Qing, but at Cheng Zhiyuan:

"Your father enlightened you, but didn't teach you the Four Books and the Five Classics? What nonsense! ”

Cheng's poems and books have been handed down, and the family studies have been expanded into academies, although Li is the wife of the inner house, as the wife of the patriarch, she also knows a lot about the imperial examination.

The Four Books refer to the Analects, Mencius, Daxue, and Zhongyong, and were the official textbooks for the imperial examinations of the Great Wei Dynasty.

I haven't studied the four books, and I can't pass the first county exam.

In addition to the four books, it is also necessary to choose one of the "Book of Songs", "Book of Songs", "Etiquette", "Zhou Yi" and "Spring and Autumn" as this scripture...... The Four Books and Five Classics are the necessary knowledge of the Great Wei scientific examination!

With Cheng Qing's current level, let alone participating in the imperial examination, she can't even get into the Cheng clan's 'Nanyi Academy'.

Li worries about her, and Cheng Qing himself is very optimistic:

"Uncle and grandmother, now that I am also in the period of filial piety, I plan to study hard behind closed doors at home, and strive to pass the entrance exam of the academy as soon as possible."

She really hasn't studied the Four Books and Five Classics, but Cheng Qing is not afraid to learn from scratch, she is not willing to be mediocre and wants to be a master, so she naturally has to work hard for it!

Li Shi didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm, and added a few more books to Cheng Qing's meeting gift.

This time they met, from beginning to end, Cheng Qing did not ask about the progress of the imperial court, showing that he completely trusted the attitude of the clan to stand up for Cheng Zhiyuan.

Of course, the Li family did not snub the Liu family, and chatted with the Liu family about the shortcomings of the family, including the future plans of Cheng Qing's three sisters.

Hearing that Mrs. Cheng had already made a marriage, she still gave it to her cousin, and Li also nodded:

"The Qi family is naturally good."

At that time, Cheng Zhiyuan was rarely famous, and he was pinned on high hopes by the clan, but his stepmother Zhu wanted to meddle in the clan but kept an eye on it, and finally hired the daughter of the Qi family, the Qi family is not as good as the Cheng family, it will not be too far behind, and it is already a good choice for Mrs. Cheng to marry back to the Qi family.

"You don't have to worry about the second lady and the third lady, they are still young, I will pay attention to them in the past two years, and then look at each other after filial piety."

At the end of the filial piety period, Cheng Zhiyuan's case must have been concluded by the imperial court, whether Cheng Zhiyuan is guilty or not guilty has too much impact on the marriage of Cheng Qing's second sister and third sister, and it is directly related to what level of family the two sisters can look at.

Of course, even if Cheng Zhiyuan is not guilty, Erniang and Sanniang basically have no possibility of marrying into a high-ranking family, but they are short generals...... The two little ladies are really miserable, their father is dead, their younger brother is still young, and they don't rely on either end.

Unless Cheng Qing is really good, she has achieved fame when the second lady and the third lady look at each other, her future is promising, and the marriage standards of the two sisters will naturally rise.

The Li family still wanted to keep the mother and daughter for dinner, but Cheng Qing repeatedly excused himself, saying that he would go home to study behind closed doors.

As soon as the mother and daughter left, Li returned to the main room of the inner courtyard.

The main house is where the fifth master and the Li family live, Cheng Qing came to see the fifth master and was told that the fifth master was not at home, in fact, the fifth master has not been out today.

Anyway, there are so many five-room houses, if the fifth master doesn't want to see people, visitors can't search room by room and drag the fifth master out.

Seeing that Li was in a good mood, the fifth master also smiled:

"It seems that you like Zhiyuan's young son?"

Li did not answer her husband's question for the time being, but opened the box brought by Cheng Qing's mother and daughter, which contained snacks and candied fruits from time-honored brands in Nanyi County.

Li Shi closed the box and was a little curious:

"You asked someone to arrange such a small house in Yangliu Lane, I thought that the mother and son would complain about the difficult conditions when they came to the door, but they didn't mention it, and even the subordinates were dismissed when they returned to Nanyi County, and the laundry and cooking actually asked the Liu family to take the three little ladies to do it themselves, Zhiyuan has been out for more than ten years, and he has also been a person from the county, how can the family be so poor?"

His wife Li's question reminded the fifth master of his cousin Cheng Zhiyuan's temper.

There is a reason why some people are poor.

Cheng Zhiyuan is rarely famous, because his temper is too hard, he wasted his talent to learn, and he became a Qipin Zhixian County after more than ten years of ups and downs, and the fifth master disagreed with Cheng Zhiyuan's toughness back then.

Isn't it a process, the fifth master plans to take a look again, now it seems that he is a little clever, and he is not sure if he can succeed in his studies.

"Zhiyuan now has the reputation of being greedy for disaster relief silver, if the Liu family takes Cheng Qing back to Nanyi to live in a mansion to call slaves and maids, and also buy a lot of property, it would be too stupid, judging from the current situation, it would be better for his family to behave poorly. We don't have to care if we are really poor or pretend to be poor, orphans and widows have returned to Nanyi, and the clan should take care of them a little more. ”

Li nodded: "It's not bad for Cheng Qing to go to the academy to study, in case he is an aura, it will be beneficial to the Cheng family." ”

Neither the fifth master nor the Li family had the idea of suppressing Cheng Qing.

When the children of the clan are promising, a family will become more and more prosperous.

The children of the clan are not the waste of producing cockfights and walking dogs, and today's prosperity is a flash in the pan, and there is no successor, and the family will fall very quickly!

Wufang and Cheng Qing's family have no conflict of interest, and the five old men and their husbands are not big treacherous people, so they naturally hope that Cheng Qing will be good.

It's the second room-

Li pursed his lips, he heard that the second sister-in-law called Cheng Qing's family back to the old house two days ago, and I don't know if there are any orphans and widows who are embarrassed.

has been a concubine for many years, and the Li family knows Mrs. Zhu too well, which is not a good stubble.

No, Cheng Qing has not studied the Four Books and Five Classics, so I don't know if I can pass the entrance exam of Nanyi Academy!

- I hope that the child has inherited some of Cheng Zhiyuan's talents in his studies.

Coming out of the fifth room, Liu felt a lot:

"Xiaolang, the clan is different from what I thought, your father has not returned to Nanyi County for many years, I thought it was ......"

"Do you think that the clan is full of treacherous people who will persecute our family?"

Cheng Qing's rhetorical question made Liu embarrassed, she did think so, especially when the second room refused Cheng Zhiyuan's coffin to enter the door, Liu's bad impression of Nanyi Cheng reached its highest point.

Not in the process of the five masters being fair, the Li family treats their mother and daughter kindly today, giving medicine and books, and the Liu family feels that Nanyi Cheng's is very different from what she imagined.

The whole Cheng family lives, and if the mother and daughter want to go back to Yangliu Lane, they have to pass through the door of the two-room old house, and the mother and daughter have never thought of alarming the people in the old house, they don't cause trouble, but they will take the initiative to find the door.

A group of young people rode horses on the street, rampage all the way, when the first horse was not in a hurry and rushed over, Cheng Qing hurriedly pulled the Liu family to dodge, and the things given by the Li family fell to the ground.

The horse's hooves were about to step on Cheng Qing's face, and the horseman could hold the reins.

Liu's face turned white with fright, and when he came back to his senses, he touched Cheng Qing's arms and hands to make sure she was not injured.

The man on horseback was still unimpressed, looked at the medicinal herbs and books that had fallen to the ground, and turned back to laugh with his companions:

"Cheng Jue, someone has come to your house to fight the autumn breeze again!"
