Chapter 108: The Clan Meeting
After breakfast, Ziyan snatched two bookbags and carried them on his back, and went out with a hurry, shouting, "Sister, hurry up, you have to take the assessment today." If you go late, you will be punished. ”
"Got it, it's coming, did you carry it?"
Zilan stepped on a small stool, climbed into the carriage, sat down, and asked.
"It's not difficult, sister, I'm going to learn to ride and shoot, and my dad made me a small bow." My grandfather said that my internal strength has improved. ”
Ziyan looked very happy.
"Yes, congratulations to my brother, my brother is so powerful, I will have my brother to protect me in the future."
Zilan stretched out her thumb to praise her brother and encourage him.
"Of course, I will definitely protect my sister in the future, don't worry, I will study hard, I can't be worse than others, our sons and daughters are both civil and military."
Ziyan raised his chin and boasted very arrogantly.
"Of course, my brother will be the champion in the future, he must be both civil and military, how much face I have to say, I am the sister of the champion, hey! I feel so proud and proud when I think about it. ”
Zilan couldn't help but smile happily when she thought about it, the top three in the imperial examination in this era are going to ride a big horse to parade the streets, and it is a very glorious thing to enjoy everyone's onlookers and praise with big red flowers.
There is a saying that everyone must have heard, the three happy events in life, meeting old acquaintances in other places, when the gold list is titled, the cave room spends candle night.
The title of the gold list is about jumping into the dragon gate of the imperial examination.
"Well, I will definitely let my sister get her wish, and for myself."
Ziyan clenched his fists and nodded vigorously.
Zilan smiled knowingly, brother, I'm waiting for you to support me.
The brother and sister began their busy academic life again, and their days became more and more regular, getting up early to learn knowledge and learning talent in the afternoon.
Among the many talents, her most brilliant is still fragrance, which has far surpassed the sisters, among the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the calligraphy and painting are not bad, and they are worthy of praise for one or two sentences. Playing chess and piano, compared with the sisters, their talents are mediocre, and they still need to work hard without merit.
History and arithmetic are the best in learning, and poetry is the worst, but the elders are very satisfied, they don't support the girl to learn some sad things, and the poetry is not good, and she has never said half a sentence.
The sisters gather today to play together, discuss poetry, and perform their talents, and the older sisters can drink a little fruit wine.
Today is the day of the gathering of the children of the Song family, and it is also the time for the clan to get together.
The clan elders should also ask the poor relatives if they have any difficulties, and if there is anything they need to help them with, discuss the affairs of the clan.
The sisters took turns to say that they were writing poems in pairs, and they really couldn't do it for poetry Zilan, and they didn't interject, just watched their sisters join in the fun.
"Sister Lan, we have all performed talents, as long as you don't say a word, you can also perform one, and join in the fun for all of us."
Shishi laughed and coaxed.
"Well, okay, I'll give you a show too, get a flute, play a song for you, and let you know that I'm also talented and beautiful."
Zilan stood up very generously and joked teasingly.
A group of relatives laughed, she shook her head and praised herself, people are not as tall as three pieces of tofu, and said that she is both talented and beautiful.
The next person brought a bamboo flute, and everyone was very curious, they had never seen her play the flute, and she also learned the piano.
Zilan pondered for a while and began to play the flute, she played a mountain tune, which she had learned before, very good-sounding, leisurely.
I can't help but think of the joyful and warm scenes when I used to play with my father, these memories are in the deepest part of my heart, she wants to tell my parents in heaven, I am doing well, my father and mother love me very much, my brother spoils me, don't worry, I am very happy.
At the end of the song, the elders clapped their hands one after another, and the second grandfather smiled: "The girl is really good, the artistic conception is strong, and it makes people warm and happy." ”
"Isn't it, it's nice to listen to."
"Grandpa, I played it so well, is there a reward?"
Zilan tilted her head and smiled to set off the atmosphere.
"There's really a reward, Ming'er will take you out as a guest, and Ziyan and Zilu Shishi will follow. Let's go to visit Mr. Cui. ”
The second grandfather said with a smile.
"Oh, that's good, it's nice to be able to hang out anyway."
Zilan smiled happily when she heard this.
The clan will be very harmonious, the Song family has a lot of people, they get along very happily, the patriarch is her uncle and grandfather, treat everyone equally, help poor relatives, take care of the poor sons and daughters of the teaching family, rich relatives will also contribute money and efforts, the Song family belongs to a prosperous family, and the descendants continue to inherit the family.
The so-called inheritance does not only refer to talents, simply put, the family of military generals has unlimited potential of military generals, and the home of civil officials has the meaning of imperial examination talents.
At the same time, the inheritance also represents the inheritance of family mottos, family rules, rules and culture, which contains the summary of the survival experience of several generations, the succession of human resources, and the inheritance of knowledge, which is the most important.
Her Song family's library was as high as a four-story building, and the height of the bookshelves on each floor required a ladder to get the books on the highest floor. When you enter the library, you have the illusion of entering a library, and the massive collection of books makes you amazed.
This is the pride of the Song family, the treasure wealth that can cultivate countless talents, and it is the most precious treasure of the Song family.
What the Zilan clan likes to do is to go to the library to find a nest, sit there and read books, enrich their knowledge, swim in the ocean of knowledge, and let themselves know more about all the information in this world.
I unexpectedly found a lot of interesting biographies, regional chronicles and other legendary wild histories, as well as some precious unique books and so on.
It's so all-encompassing, even her favorite fragrance has found some top-secret recipes, and after asking her second grandmother for approval, she copied them down, planning to have a chance to try them one by one.
The more I know about the Song family, the more grateful I am, compared with Zhao Xuan'er, how lucky I am, this era is very unfriendly to orphan girls, even if there is such a upbringing as Yang Houfu, it also greatly restricts her choice of relatives.
There are very few people she can talk about, one kind of merchant, one is the son of a poor family, or a family of military generals but it is by no means a high-ranking family, but the kind of low-level official position of a military general who is in the early stages of a poor family, and the children of a high-ranking family will never want an orphan girl to be a wife.
Although there are many regrets, Zilan still hopes that Xuan'er can be a good person in the future, and character is more important.
I'm going to Cui's house tomorrow morning, and I'm left by the second grandmother to sleep in the warm pavilion tonight, Zilan took the opportunity to wait for everyone to sleep, and quietly put the spiritual spring in a few wells where the Song family draught, which is her reward for the Song family's love for herself.
Her surname is Song, which is the greatest kindness given by God, not to mention that her family loves her very much and tries her best to teach herself.
Early in the morning of the second day, the second grandmother woke up Zilan and Shishi, "Get up quickly, little boys, you have to clean up and be a guest." ”
"Oh, grandma, we don't have to go so early."
Zilan turned over and got ready to sleep again, but I pity me for releasing water for you in the middle of the night.
