Chapter 13 Learning Makes Me Happy

In the afternoon, Su Yan took a lunch break and received a book sent by Chu Yunqing, what "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Text", "Hundred Family Names", "University", ...... Chu Yunqing sent the ones listed on the book list.

Su Yan thanked the little guy, sent the little guy away, and returned to his position to look through the books he had sent.

The book is full of old ideas, but the paper is very neat, and it can be seen that it has been used for many years, and the owner cherishes it very much. There are also a lot of notes written in the blank space of the book, the font is delicate and neat, Su Yan turned the pages one by one, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

She could originally memorize the "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Text", but now that she has a book, she writes and copies it from the book. Since it was a practice of calligraphy, I did not use a quill pen to write, but took a brush and moistened it, and wrote a few words on the waste paper that practiced before before copying it on clean paper.

"Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate ......" Su Yan practiced hairpin flowers.

When he was in elementary school, Su Yan had a beanie pen in one hand, not to mention neat, but it was ugly and cute. Su's father and mother felt that "words are like people", and after reading her words, she felt that she couldn't go on like this, and at the same time, for the sake of the exam papers, she pressed her to practice the words for several years. She often uses the line and hairpin, for a period of time she was particularly fascinated by Zhao Kuangyin, and she also learned thin gold for a period of time, but she practiced hard pens. Su Yan remembered that she also wrote with Su's father for a few days, Su's father was particular and very strict, she practiced for a few days and lacked interest, and then went to school because she was lazy, so the brush writing was sparse. Now I'm practicing calligraphy, and I'm regretting why I didn't practice well at that time.

Carefully copied to the fourth page, and it was time to leave work. In order to facilitate copying, Su Yan cut the paper to the size of a book in advance, so there were not a few words on a single page. At this time, the article also had no punctuation, and when she copied it, she thought that she would read it by herself anyway, so she added the symbols according to her habit.

Su Yan put down the pen, picked up the last page written with both hands and blew it, put it aside to dry, and put away the waste paper on the table to use as scratch paper, and finally sorted out the four pages, admired it, and then put two new pieces of paper before and after, and pressed them into the book.

There were a lot of books sent by the little guy. When Su Yan went out with a book, he met Chu Yunqing who also went out.

The two went back in different directions, Chu Yunqing's house was in the east of the city, and Su Yan temporarily lived in the south of the city.

The pattern of Kyoto has been summarized as "rich in the east and rich in the west, poor in the south and cheap in the north".

Because the imperial palace is in the east of the city, the residences of the royal family and dignitaries are also located in the east of the city.

Most of the people living in the south and north of the city are ordinary people, because the land price is relatively cheap, so the public housing of the Guozijian and the imperial court are built in the south of the city, and the house rented by the two brothers of the Yun family is the public housing, and the rent is cheap, which is to facilitate the residence of civilians and students who enter Beijing, and there are also many low-level officials, because the income is not high or the family is poor, they choose to live here; Entertainment venues such as many teaching workshops and pear orchards in the north of the city are also rich and gentle townships for many people.

Because of the wharf in the western part of the castle, many goods came in and out of Kyoto by water, and with it, merchants from all over the world traded here, and over time, a commercial area was formed, and merchants settled here to facilitate business.

Chu Yunqing led the horse, looked back and saw Su Yan leading the little donkey out, still holding a burden in his hand, and seeing that the shape was a book. When Su Yan saw Chu Yunqing, he raised a bright smile before he walked in: "Brother Yunqing, thank you for your book." ”

Chu Yunqing frowned, a little annoyed, he should have been sent to her house, and he didn't have to bother to carry it back. When Su Yan walked to his side, he raised his hand and took the book in her hand, and laughed casually: "Then how do you thank me?" ”

Su Yan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What gift does Brother Yunqing want?" ”

Chu Yunqing put the book in the bag behind the saddle, and after neatly turning over the horse, he thought for a while, looked down at Su Yan and said, "How can I ask for a gift." ”

The sun at four or five o'clock in the afternoon was still a little dizzying, Chu Yunqing was against the light, and Su Yan squinted his eyes, unable to see his expression clearly.

"Well, then I know, you can wait." Su Yan also got on the little donkey, she thought, this time is mostly used to wash rice, water, grass and wood ash with soaphorn, and large families use bath beans to wash their hands and bathe, well, she also uses bath beans, and she is a little distressed to use it every day. When she made soap, which was still a rarity, she would give him one.

The two rode horses, rode donkeys, gossiped all the way and slowly walked back, until they walked to Xuanwu Street before saying goodbye. Xuanwu Street is in the south of the city, a few streets away from Su Yan's residence. Su Yan thought that he would experiment with making soap when he went back, so he went to the market and bought some pots and buckets and other tools, and then led the donkey back.

went back to unload his things, and while it was still early, Su Yan held the book and went to Mr. He to take class. Before she went, she went around to the kitchen to see Aunt He, and when she saw that Aunt He's things were all ready, she asked her to clean up the scraps and grease.

Aunt He was a little curious, and thought that he bought it to eat, so she kindly persuaded: "Little Brother Su, this scrap material can't be eaten, it's all thrown away to feed the pigs and dogs, why bother to clean it up." ”

Su Yan smiled and said, "Aunt He, I have other uses for this, not for food, please help me clean it up and put it in the bucket, and when I go to Mr. He's place, I'll come back and talk to you." ”

Aunt He didn't say much, and smiled at her: "Then you can rest assured, I'll take care of it and keep it clean." ”

Su Yan thanked him repeatedly, and went directly to the West Chamber to find Mr. He after leaving the kitchen.

There are three rooms in the west wing, the largest one is a bedroom, the one on the left side of the bedroom is a study, and one is temporarily empty, with some miscellaneous items.

Mrs. He moved a stool and was making clothes in front of the house. Su Yan is good-looking, has a good temper and personality, is practical and capable, and is the same as He, working under Li Shizi, Mrs. He likes her very much. Mrs. He has a daughter, so she has always wanted to say that she will be a relative to Su Yan.

Seeing Su Yan coming, Mrs. He's face burst into laughter: "Su Yan is here, Lao He is in the study, you can go find him." ”

"Hello teacher, I'm making new clothes for my husband again, my husband is so happy. Then Master, you are busy, I will go over. Su Yan greeted with a smile and bowed. Because he wanted to learn from He in one fell swoop, he naturally recognized He as a teacher in one fell swoop, so Su Yan changed his title and called Mrs. He "Shiniang".

When I entered the small study, I saw Mr. He holding a scroll and sitting on the Taishi chair and reading it seriously.

The study room is simply arranged, the room is against the wall is a natural shelf, on which are all kinds of books, there are some delicate porcelain incense burners and other furnishings, in front of the bookshelf is a long case, on which a pot of jasmine is placed, just right, the fragrance is rich. There are also pen, ink, paper, inkstone and other items on the long case.

Because Su Yan wanted to study, He Yiju was still in front of the long case, and placed a small table for Su Yan to use. Pen and ink and other things have also been arranged on it.

"Teacher, I'm here, student." Su Yan put the book he was holding in his arms on the table and greeted Mr. He.
