39. Learn to read and write

Seeing that Mrs. Guo was gone, Wang Xie called Ping'an, who was worried in his heart, to him, and said earnestly: "Ping'an, you have also seen it, it's not that your father and mother won't let you marry that second sister Zhao, it's his lion who opened his mouth and treated our family as a moneymaker!" You know how much silver we have in our hands, how big a belly we hold and how big a bowl, we can't afford to marry her daughter, who is made of gold! ”

Xie Qingshan also said: "Your two nephews are also going to school, fortunately, the former son bought them a book room." If the Zhao family agrees, we will just spend almost the money on hand, if the winter vegetables can't make money, and when the Zhuangzi collects grain next year, our family will have the money to pay them the next season's bundle of miles! ”

Saying that, he muttered: "During this time, the three of us father and son will go to the mountain again, although there is nothing left on the mountain, let's see if we can dig up a few flavors of Chinese medicine......

Xie Xuan said: "Most of the traditional Chinese medicine has to be used in flowers, stems and leaves, all of which are picked in spring, summer and autumn, and this is about to enter winter. Besides, the shou wu on the mountain has been dug up, but this is not the beginning! ”

Xie Xuan knew more about this than them, so Xie Qingshan sighed and stopped talking about going up the mountain.

"Dad, mother, I know your difficulties, and we don't have to marry Second Sister Zhao. If her family agrees, it's okay, even if she doesn't agree, I don't have to rush to get married. Our family also has a Zhuangzi, I will work hard for a few more years, earn silver, and I will marry a daughter-in-law myself! Xie Ping'an first lowered his head, and as he spoke, he raised his head, gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and said fiercely.

Xie Qingshan and Xie Wang's glanced at each other, and couldn't help laughing: "My son is good, but the Zhao family has eyes and doesn't know gold and jade, and they look down on our family's safety!" ”

So everyone dispersed, Xie Qingshan took Xie Ping'an to the vegetable field, those garlic seedlings and leeks have grown tall in the past few days, and in a few days, they will be able to sell, Xie Pingtian soaked in the vegetable shed all day long, for fear of any accidents.

Xie Wang took the soles of his shoes and needles and threads, and went to the right to talk to Aunt Feng.

Xie Xuan came to the east wing of the Lin family's house, this east wing room is divided into two rooms, the first one is where Xie Pingtian and the Lin couple live, and the Zhiyuan Zhicheng brothers are sleeping outside, and there is a loom next to the bed.

After entering the house, I saw Lin sitting behind the loom weaving, next to Zhiyuan Zhicheng and the two of them lying on a small dining table, with two sand tables in front of them, which Xie Pingtian made for the two of them overnight, and was drawing according to the words on the "Duobao Pagoda Tablet"!

"Do you two know the words on it? It's like a ghost drawing! Xie Xuan glanced at the sand table in front of the two of them, the order of the murals written by the two was wrong, and she couldn't help laughing and laughing when she looked at the messy lines on it.

"I don't know it! Niang Fei said that being idle is also idle, and I want the two of us to draw and paint first, and then be familiar with it after school. Zhicheng glanced at the Lin family who was weaving cloth next to him with a little resentment, and said to Xie Xuan.

"What? Do you want to write? The shuttle in Lin's hand flew fast, and he glanced at Zhicheng with slanted eyes, "As the saying goes, sharpening a knife is not a mistake for a woodcutter, you have studied more in the past few days, and Ming'er learned this word in the school, and he also wrote it neatly!" ”

"It's this reason, what the big girl said is mile!" Xie Xuan said to Zhicheng with a smile, "However, I recognize a few of the words, so I might as well teach the words I know to Brother Zhiyuan and you today!" ”

Zhiyuan and Zhicheng looked at her suspiciously: "You haven't been to school, how can you be literate?" ”

The shuttle in Lin's hand also stopped, turned his head and said to Xie Xuan: "Xuanxuan, if you want to be literate too, go back and let Brother Zhiyuan learn it and teach you...... There is no harm in girls recognizing a few words, and it will be deceived in the future! ”

Xie Xuan knew that the three of them didn't believe it, and they wouldn't be able to hide it in the future anyway, so she smiled mysteriously and said secretly, "What am I lying to you about?" Have you forgotten? When I was in a coma in the fall, I spent a lot of time in my dreams and learned a lot! ”

Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Yes, if Xuanxuan hadn't taught us about medicinal herbs and earned some money, we wouldn't have been able to afford to go to school today!" ”

Zhicheng was still a little skeptical, he picked up the red painting of the "Duobao Pagoda Tablet" and handed it to Xie Xuan, "Then tell me, what is written on it?" ”

Xie Xuan took it and read it slowly word by word. Because they are all ancient and traditional, and there are no punctuation marks, and there are many difficult words used by the ancients, it is extremely difficult for her to see, and she can only guess and understand the context.

"This article is actually an inscription, the name is Duobao Pagoda Tablet, the full name is the Tang Xijing Qianfu Temple Duobao Pagoda Induction Inscription, which is written by Cen Xun, a native of Nanyang, and written by Yan Zhenqing, a great calligrapher during the Tang Xuanzong period. The content is about a monk named Cheng Chujin who has Huigen since he was a child, became a monk in Longxing Temple at the age of nine, and preached Buddhism to the public at the age of 20.

One day, when he was meditating, he saw a pagoda standing in front of him, and the house was full of countless Buddha incarnations, so he decided to build a pagoda. In the distance, there was a monk who was in Senfukuji Temple, and he also saw a river flowing from Longxing Temple to Senfukuji Temple, and also saw a pagoda. When everyone heard about this, they all donated money and materials to build this tower. Even Tang Xuanzong Li Longji dreamed of this, so he rewarded a lot of money and things, and finally the pagoda was finally built.

After the completion, in the spring and autumn of each year, the monks were convened to hold a puja, and the monk Chujin also pricked his fingers and wrote a lot of scriptures, and hid them in the underground palace of the pagoda with the relics, and the emperor rewarded him with a large incense burner. Finally, I admired how beautiful this pagoda was, and there were some poems like Buddhism......"

Xie Xuan said while reading, and when he saw the last mysterious and mysterious Buddha's verse, he began to be circled, "Anyway, that's about what it means!" ”

Zhiyuan Zhicheng looked at her adoringly: "Xuanxuan, you actually know so many words?" ”

Lin stopped weaving, and looked at Xie Xuan with a shuttle, dumbfounded.

"Shhhh Otherwise, you will be talked about! Xie Xuan pretended to be and quietly advised.

"That's it! Zhiyuan Zhicheng, you two must not talk about Xuanxuan outside, do you hear? Lin came back to his senses, and Zitangtang put on a solemn look on his face.

"Mother, we're not stupid!" Zhicheng is the way.

Lin put down the shuttle, got up and came to the three of them, glanced at the red characters that were as difficult to understand as the book that day, and then looked at Xie Xuan twice, and there was some excitement in his eyes, "Xuanxuan, since you can recognize these words, I will teach your two brothers, and it will be easier for the two of them to go to school in the future!" ”

"Da Yan, if I don't teach them, who else can I teach!" Xie Xuan smiled and said, "Besides, in the future, they will learn things in the school, and they can teach me when they come back!" ”

So, Xie Xuan began to teach them to write, starting from a simple one, first explaining the meaning of the word, and then stroke by stroke, according to the order of strokes, and slowly taught them.

She chose the simple words on the "Duobao Pagoda Tablet", so that they could copy it according to it, because Xie Xuan couldn't write calligraphy, at most she could only write neatly, teach them the meaning of the characters, and finally have to learn Yan Zhenqing to practice calligraphy.
