You don't know the character of your third son, even if I personally hold him, he can find an opportunity to be lazy or not do his job, you say, if his daughter-in-law urges him, he will be restrained" Pei's father said to Mrs. Pei with a smile, he still knows his third son very well.

"What then? Or do you have to watch him read and review in person? He's so old, how can he be more ignorant than his younger brother? He can't take the Jinshi exam in one go, so you won't have to force him. Mrs. Pei said with a frown.

"Alas, this guy who is as strong as a donkey, obviously smarter than his eldest brother and second brother, and can often draw inferences, he just doesn't focus on studying, he really owes him ......" Pei's father said and gritted his teeth at his third son Pei Ran.

He has so many sons, except for Pei Ran, all of them can read obediently and make progress, and they don't need him to worry at all, but Pei Ran is different, if he doesn't stare at him to read, he can not touch the books all day long.

And Pei Ran, who had just gotten married, didn't know that his father and mother were worried about his lack of business, and he was writing calligraphy in the study, when he was interrupted by An Nan, who broke in.

He frowned at his good-looking sword eyebrows and said, "Why did you come here?" ”

An Nan stepped forward and looked at the words he was writing, the dragon flew and the phoenix danced, chic and elegant, and already had his own style, no wonder Mrs. Pei said that he spent all his energy on calligraphy and painting.

"Can't I come? Or do you have red sleeves here and don't want me to come? An Nan said deliberately.

"Where is the red sleeve incense? I can't even be still. Pei Ran said, put down the pen in his hand, spread the written words on the table, and let it dry the ink naturally.

An Nan looked at his study carefully, this study is not very big, but there are many books on the shelves, many of which are books to be examined in the imperial examinations such as the Four Books and the Five Classics, and some are customs and chivalrous ...... It has nothing to do with the imperial examination.

There are also two paintings hanging on the wall of the study, one is the autumn scene of Songshan Mountain, the other is the woodcutter and the wolf, the woodcutter is holding a sickle, making a defensive posture against the fierce hungry wolf in front of him, the expression of a person and a wolf is vivid, the woodcutter's horror and strength and the wolf's ferocity and hideousness are vividly expressed, but it is very interesting.

The two paintings were written by Pei Ran, An Nan was suddenly a little surprised, he didn't expect Pei Ran to be very talented in calligraphy and painting, and he did not live up to his talent, under the heavy academic pressure arranged by his family and master, he could learn calligraphy and painting to this point.

"Your calligraphy and paintings are very skillful, why haven't I heard of your talent outside? It stands to reason that at your current level, you should be a talented person who is both calligraphy and painting. An Nan asked curiously.

In these years, although calligraphy and painting are not examined in the imperial examination, but this is also a skill that students must know, if they learn well, their reputation should spread soon, but Pei Ran does not have a little fame.

Hearing An Nan's question, Pei Ran suddenly froze like a frosted eggplant, and he said dejectedly: "Father doesn't allow me to spend my energy on this, and I don't allow me to use them to show off and seek fame...... He would just ask me to read......"

Pei Ran said, gritting his teeth a little, obviously resentful of not being able to learn what he likes freely.

"Oh, that's pathetic." An Nan said without sympathy, Pei Ran reminded her of those modern college entrance examination students who were forced by their parents to work hard - obviously they wanted to be an art student, but their parents asked him to be a serious college entrance examination candidate, alas!

Pei Ran complained about Pei's father's oppression of him for a while, and then reluctantly said: "I don't dare to take home many paintings that I am very satisfied with, alas." ”

Seeing his helpless appearance, An Nan immediately smiled and said, "Then you can take it back and keep it for me, they won't know that you are not doing your job." ”

"No, those are my treasures...... Pei Ran shook his head and said, "I won't give it to you." ”

"Why are you so stingy?" An Nan said to him deliberately and defiantly.

"I'm not stingy, I don't want to give my heart and soul to you." Pei Ran looked at An Nan with suspicion, "If you are on my father's side, and your calligraphy and painting will be ruined if you get it, then I will regret it and die." ”

An Nan was immediately happy, and said: "Your mother is really trying to persuade me to stand on her side today, and let me urge you to study and improve, at least take the entrance exam, and say that this is how you can make your husband and wife noble......."

Pei Ran suddenly looked at her vigilantly: "You won't agree to her, will you?" If you agree, then I won't even let you in the study door!" ”

An Nan said with a smile: "Of course I didn't agree, how much does it matter to me if you don't get motivated?" I'm not a vain person. ”

Pei Ran listened to her words, then he breathed a sigh of relief, looked at An Nan's eyes and softened, and said: "Yes, yes, we just want to be indifferent to fame and fortune, how can we study so utilitarianly, people like us, if we don't study and become officials, we can live a peaceful life." ”

Annan was speechless, this guy is very "indifferent to fame and fortune", and his lifelong requirement is to be safe and sound? Don't need to rise to the top and dominate the world?

Pei Ran said to An Nan: "You can't force me, or I'll let you ...... Copy the female ring female rule! That's right, copy these two books, three or four hundred times each! See if you're afraid! ”

An Nan rolled her eyes at him: "I'm not interested in your business, you can do whatever you want." It doesn't matter if you don't do your job or have nothing to do, I don't care, if you are down, I still have a dowry myself, and I won't suffer. ”

Pei Ran hurriedly asked, "What you said is true, you didn't lie to me, right?" Isn't it possible that if you suddenly get some stimulus in the future, you will force me to improve, right? ”

"Hmph." An Nan sneered, turned around and left.

Pei Ran wanted to stop her, but he didn't call again, he looked at the writing on the table and saw that it had dried, so he pressed the paperweight, and then chased after An Nan.

It was already dinner time, and Pei Ran naturally wanted to go back to An Nan's main courtyard to eat.

The two of them quarreled in the study for a while, but they were noisy, they were both people who didn't care, and they could eat peacefully at the same table after the fight.

Pei Ran is still quite satisfied with his new wife, after all, he won't take care of his own affairs, and he won't force himself to get ahead, it's really appropriate, he feels that he is right to marry An Nan.

If you marry another "very self-motivated" woman, knowing that he is not doing his job, she will definitely impatiently talk to him and ask him to work hard......

As soon as he thought of that scene, Pei Ran couldn't help but shudder, tsk, it's still An Nan, who has a big heart and no ambition.
