Chapter 24: Who is the Thousand-Character Essay?
When Lin Xiaohe woke up, the sky had already darkened, there was a feeling of dizziness in his head, and there was already an obvious feeling of hunger in his stomach.
Because her scalp was injured, in order to treat Lin Xiaohe's injury, a large piece of her hair was cut off, and now her head is covered with gauze, which looks a little funny.
Lin Xiaohe struggled to get up, and took a few breaths before his head cleared up.
There was a burst of talking voices in the courtyard, Lin Xiaohe walked out of the door, and saw a table in the courtyard, Li Youtian's family of three was there, Lin Dahu's side was a delicate-looking crutch, and he had a rare smile on his face.
In addition to the people Lin Xiaohe was familiar with, there were two people sitting at the table, one was Village Chief Liu, and the other was an old man with white hair.
looked a little familiar, but Lin Xiaohe couldn't remember who this person was.
Although this man's hair and beard are white, his face is ruddy and abnormal, his skin is not wrinkled, and he has a little elegance between his gestures, and he is dressed in a plain robe, although it is old, but it is very clean.
Seeing Lin Xiaohe coming out of the room, Lin Lele, who was being held in Aunt Li's arms, immediately struggled to jump off her lap and threw herself towards Lin Xiaohe with her arms open.
"Poof!"
This little guy didn't know how hard he had retracted, and this time the collision was solid, Lin Xiaohe's body was weak, and he was almost knocked to the ground.
"Sister hugs ......"
Lin Lele didn't know if his sister was injured or sick, and there was a little longing in his watery eyes.
Lin Xiaohe barely squeezed out a smile, forcibly suppressed the churning in her stomach, and bent down to pick her up with all her might.
Zheng Xiaohua saw that her eldest daughter's face was pale, so she hurriedly took Lin Lele from her hand, took out a free hand, and gave her a hand.
"Hew, how are you feeling?"
Lin Xiaohe tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Mother, I'm fine, I slept a lot, I'm much better." ”
Zheng Xiaohua breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Lin Xiaohe faint before, almost scared her to death.
Lin Xiaohe was dragged by Zheng Xiaohua to the table, and there was a table of dishes on the table, and the meat dishes accounted for more than half, which made Lin Xiaohe a little surprised.
Zheng Xiaohua felt Lin Xiaohe's strangeness, leaned into her ear and said, "This table of banquet was set up by your Uncle Li, saying that it was to celebrate that our family can be in charge of our own house in the future." ”
"Presumably this is Lin Xiaohelin girl, right?"
When the elegant old man saw Lin Xiaohe, he asked with a smile.
"Yes, Master, this is my Sister Xiaohe, Sister Xiaohe is amazing."
Without waiting for others to speak, Li Tiancheng hurriedly responded, with an inexplicable excitement on his face.
Lin Xiaohe was a little surprised, Master? This old man should be the master of Li Tiancheng Academy, but I don't know why he appeared at their dinner table.
There was an irrepressible joy on Lin Dahu's face, but he was trying his best to restrain himself at this time, and he didn't drink, but his face was red.
"Xiaohe, this is Confucius from the village school next door, come and see it."
Lin Xiaohe let go of Zheng Xiaohua's arm, walked two steps slowly, put his right hand on top of his left hand, bent his knees and bowed his head slightly.
"Xiaohe has seen the master, and the master is healthy."
Seeing Lin Xiaohe's posture of saluting, Confucius's pupils shrank slightly.
He subconsciously looked at Lin Xiaohe.
Lin Xiaohe's figure is naturally not very attractive, and his appearance can only be said to be delicate, but it is not extremely beautiful, but a pair of eyes are black and bright, and they can reflect the figure of a person clearly.
This kind of etiquette is a common etiquette used by women in ancient times, but this is the countryside, and a girl from the countryside nods when she sees someone saying hello is considered a salute, and only some ladies in the county town will have such a standardized etiquette.
Now it has appeared on Lin Xiaohe's body, and then I think of the thousand-character text that Li Tiancheng took out today that was used as a calligraphy, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Confucius would never have believed it, this polite and thoughtful, neither humble nor arrogant little girl was from the peasant family.
If Confucius was still suspicious before, now that he sees Lin Xiaohe, he is almost certain that Lin Xiaohe must be well-educated.
"Grandpa Liu, Uncle Li, Aunt Li, thank you three of you today.
Especially Uncle Li and Aunt Li, what my grandmother did today made you feel wronged, and Xiaohe really felt a little sorry in her heart. ”
Aunt Li got up and pulled Lin Xiaohe along, drove Li Tiancheng to the side, and then let Lin Xiaohe sit beside her.
"What are you talking about, you kid? It's not like you don't know what kind of person you are, so don't care about him.
It's your injury, and the aunt who sees it is distressed. ”
Lin Xiaohe knew that Aunt Li had no daughter, and she had always been very good to both herself and Lele, but this distress was also from the heart.
The village chief also sighed with emotion: "Alas, the eldest sister of the Lin family is indeed too much, to be honest, the old man has never seen a good child like Xiaohe for so many years."
Although his mind was not clear in the first two years, now that he has opened his mind, no matter who he meets, he is polite and thoughtful, talking and doing things, and there is no place in the village that can find faults.
Dahu, you think about what I said in the morning, such a good boy, it is better to look at your side and feel at ease. ”
Lin Dahu nodded: "Uncle Liu, I will think about it, but I still think that this matter still depends on Xiaohe's meaning." This girl has an idea. ”
Village Chief Liu nodded, and didn't say anything else, but raised his voice and said: "We came here today, first, for the Lin family's big house, and second, Confucius is looking for Xiaohe for some things. ”
As soon as they heard this, a trace of nervousness appeared on the faces of Lin Dahu and Zheng Xiaohua.
Seeing this, Confucius laughed: "Don't be nervous, it's a good thing." The old man came to ask Miss Xiaohe something, if it was true, it would be a good thing. ”
Lin Xiaohe glanced at Li Tiancheng, Li Tiancheng gave him a big smile, Lin Xiaohe understood that the arrival of this master today was due to the matter of a thousand words.
At the beginning of the Canglan Empire, reading was encouraged, and now there is quite a hundred schools of thought, and no school can have enough dominance, unlike Confucianism in later generations, after experiencing Confucianism in the Han Dynasty, it was a monopoly, and other schools have become corners.
So this era is still a very open era.
"What the master wants to ask about the thousand-character text, right?"
Confucius nodded appreciatively: "The little lotus girl is really smart, the old man wants to ask, who is the hand of this thousand-character text?" ”
How did the thousand-character text appear, Li Youtian's family of three and Zheng Xiaohua all knew, and when they heard this, they all focused on Lin Xiaohe's body.
