The two brothers, Chen Ling and Chen Shu, quarreled once. What is the specific reason, in fact, Chen Ling himself has forgotten. But... If you really want to talk about it, it's just because of some things on your own reading.

Chen Ling's talent for reading since he was a child is not as high as Chen Shu, but Chen Shu has always been a person who has high requirements for himself and his younger brother. Sometimes when I look at Chen Ling a little lazy, I can't help but say a few words.

Chen Shu understands his younger brother. When he was young, even if life was bad, Chen Shu tried his best to take care of his younger brother so that his younger brother could live a little more comfortable.

Most of those hardships were also eaten by themselves. Although the younger brother is also not living a good life, if you really want to say that he has to endure hardships, it is actually not so much.

Therefore, in terms of temperament, Chen Ling is inevitably not as resolute as Chen Shu. In the cold winter, sometimes Chen Ling will occasionally be lazy and not so diligent in practicing calligraphy.

Because of this, Chen Shu said a good thing to Chen Ling.

"The Chen family took us in, which is a great kindness. We must study hard to repay the Chen family and do our best. It's just a little colder now, and you are so slack, don't you feel guilty in your heart? ”

"We can have today's hard-won days, and we must cherish them."

Chen Ling was actually going to find a chess book at that time.

When he was playing with Chen Wanwan in the yard a few days ago, he didn't let Chen Wanwan pick flowers because he was afraid that Chen Wanwan would be cold. He took it upon himself to help Chen Wanwan pick some flowers and grass and bring them back to the house, so... My hands were a little frozen.

The days are beginning to count nine, and it's getting colder.

Although there is a charcoal fire in Chen Ling's house all the time. But Chen Ling has also lived a hard life since he was a child, and he knows that those charcoal fires are actually not cheap, so he doesn't use many charcoal fires.

The hands are too stiff and not very comfortable, and the handwriting naturally can't be so good. Therefore, Chen Ling pondered that in addition to writing, he also had to play chess.

He can't write well now, so instead of continuing to stalemate, it's better to practice playing chess first. When his hands are comfortable, he can continue to practice calligraphy. In this way, it's not too lazy.

However, Chen Ling's chess game has not been found yet, and when Chen Shu came to see Chen Ling, he felt that he was slacking off and lazy, so he couldn't help but say a few words about Chen Ling.

Chen Ling is young, and he is still a little rebellious. Looking at the way my brother looked when he said about himself, there was still a little disappointment in his eyes, and his heart couldn't help but hurt.

"Not really." Chen Ling said: "It's cold, my hand is stiff, so I thought about taking the chess game and taking a look at it first." ”

Chen Shu was a little unbelieving. Chen Ling's reading talent is not so high, and he is not diligent enough on weekdays. Chen Shu actually hasn't really forced these all along.

In the final analysis, everyone has their own strengths, and Chen Ling's talent in the art of war, strategy and cavalry and archery is actually quite good. It's just that when writing an article, I don't see things so clearly. This is also related to the fact that he has experienced less since he was a child.

Writing has always been a tempering of the mind. Chen Ling likes those interesting things more, and writing is a bit boring, so he doesn't like it so much.

In Chen Shu's opinion, if it is something he doesn't like, Chen Ling sometimes wants to be lazy, then it is also possible.

"What about your chess game?" Chen Shu thought about it seriously, and felt that he was not good, and he really wronged Chen Ling. decided to take a step back first to see if what Chen Ling said was true.

Chen Ling happened to have a book in his hand at this time, and when Chen Shu walked over, he saw it at once.

But the book in Chen Ling's hand is not a chess game, but a book of words.

Chen Ling paused for a moment, and then hurriedly explained: "There are too many books on this shelf. I don't know when it was on the shelf. Brother, I'm really looking for a chess game. ”

Chen Shu glanced at the book in Chen Ling's hand.

"This book, looking at the book cover, it's quite new, and there's no dust, I think I should have read it recently."

Chen Shu said: "Few people come in your house, is it difficult for someone else to put it in?" Coincidentally, or did you put it in the last few days? ”

Chen Shu actually didn't want Chen Ling to look at these things. It's just that if you're tired of learning and want to see it, it's fine. It's okay to relax once in a while. But...

Chen Ling told himself that he was looking for a chess game, but what he was holding in his hand was a book of words.

It all seemed like an excuse.

Chen Ling suddenly felt a little speechless. He's really... I don't know what to do.

Chen Shu looked at Chen Ling like this, sighed, and said, "Actually, I never expected you to be a high school scholar and find a good position in the capital or something." ”

"It's just that in life, you should have your own goals and do what a husband should do. It's really not good to live in a mess. In particular, the Chen family gave us such a good opportunity, and it was not given to us. ”

"How many people in this world don't have the opportunity to study if they want to? If it weren't for the Chen family, I would have been able to secretly listen to classes outside the school at this moment. If you want to take the imperial examination, I don't know that it will be in the Year of the Monkey. ”

"You have such a great opportunity, but..."

When Chen Shu said this, he paused and said, "Not to mention whether you can be worthy of the Chen family, can you be worthy of yourself?" ”

Chen Ling's eyes were red, and he was a little unwilling, so he said, "What's right to be worthy of my own?" Brother, you can go all the way to the capital, I think it should be a little difficult to get into the Jinshi. ”

"It's just a lift in this life. The Chen family's kindness, how can you let me repay it? I've done everything I can on a daily basis. A few days ago, Sister Wanwan wanted to come out to pick flowers, but I was worried that she would catch a cold, so I helped pick them. ”

"My hands were accidentally frozen at that time, so I thought that I would raise them for a few days, not because I deliberately didn't practice calligraphy. As for the book... It's really not the book I'm reading.,I'm really looking for a chess game! ”

"To repay the Chen family, of course I also want to repay the Chen family. It's just that there are some things you can do that I can't do. You... I have to ask you to ask me, don't you think it's a little more difficult for a strong man? ”

Chen Shu looked at Chen Ling's crying face, and he didn't know what to say.

He didn't demand Chen Ling with his own standards. It's just that I hope Chen Ling can do better. People, if you don't push yourself, how can you know what you can do?
