The third aunt and daughter sang and harmonized, and decided that she could not read, and said that the pest control she learned in the book was nonsense. Even if her book was thrown into the water by Lu Wanqian, the third aunt did not show any guilt.

These were all expected by Lu Wanxing, and she was not in a hurry to argue with them, but looked at the book that fell into the water tank, waiting for it to become more and more wet by the water, and it was better not to see a word.

The third aunt looked at the rice in the pot, fished out a few boiled eggs in the big iron pot, threw them into the cold water basin on the stove, and said: "I said broom star, today is the last day to stay, tomorrow follow the clan up the mountain, don't forget to get me back the money when the time comes, you have a chicken this day, it's not for nothing." ”

Lu Wanqian reached out to scoop up the eggs in the basin, scalded her hands, and put them to her mouth to blow up. It was as if it was Lu Wanxing's fault that her hands were burned, she glanced at her fiercely and said, "Mother, when do you have to give her food this day, she should be punished for such a big disaster today, and she won't be given a mouthful of food." ”

The third aunt wiped her hands on her apron, glanced at Lu Wanqian with appreciation, and said to Lu Wanxing sternly: "Your third sister is right, even if you can make money tomorrow, today's matter can't be just settled." Dinner is out of your share. ”

Lu Wanxing hated them when she saw their mother and daughter's faces, squeezed out two tears in her eyes, and said aggrievedly, "I'm telling the truth, those are written in books, and you still don't believe it when I go to school, I want to find Xiucai Gong to judge." ”

After finishing speaking, she picked up the book on the stove and walked out, Lu Wanqian looked at her figure, and her hand reached into the egg basin again. The third aunt patted her angrily, "The hungry ghost is reincarnated, so you can't wait for a while, I didn't see that girl and chicken thief." ”

Lu Wanqian rubbed her reddened hand and said, "Mother, what are you afraid of her, I don't believe that she can still go to Xiucaigong, isn't that a stone to shoot herself?" ”

When the third aunt heard this, she watched Lu Wanxing go out of the gate, and she also laughed proudly.

The Xiucai Gong they are talking about is an elder in the Lu ancestral hall, older than Lu Yunian, and in Lu Wanxing's seniority, it should be the ancestor of the Lu family.

Lu Wanxing remembered that Xiucaigong's home was not far from his home, and he should be at home at this time. She trotted to his house, thinking in her heart how she could invite the old man to her house and prove that she was literate in front of the big guys. In this way, it will not arouse suspicion in the future, and she deliberately flipped through the two books on the road, and the one that was blistered in water could no longer see the original handwriting. Although it is a pity, it is worth the sacrifice if it is recognized by Xiucaigong.

Lu Wanxing was in a hurry, and after a while, she was out of breath, and when she arrived outside the door of Xiucai's house, she first stood still for a while before she began to call the door.

The one who opened the door to her was Xiucaigong's granddaughter-in-law, Widow Lin.

Well, saying that she is a widow, in fact, her man is also with Lu Wanxing and her father, Lu Jiangchuan is a situation, he was arrested and assigned to the army, and now he has no one alive or dead, and the Lin family has a son, which can be regarded as leaving incense for this Lu family, and he has not remarried over the years.

She was a little surprised when she saw Lu Wanxing, "Wuya, why are you here?" ”

"Auntie, I'm here to find Xiucai Gong to help me evaluate the judges." Lu Wanxing didn't beat around the bush and said straight to the point.

"Commenting, commenting? Are you being bullied by those two girls again? "A boy came out of the house, it was Lu Chengding, the son of Widow Lin. He is two years older than Lu Wanxing. With a red face and shirtless, he looks like a strong man.

"No, no," Lu Wanxing hurriedly waved her hand, "Here's how it ......"

She talked about watering vegetables today, and Widow Lin also looked at her suspiciously, she was familiar with Lu Wanxing's father, but she had never heard that her mother would know these home remedies.

Lu Wanxing handed the two books to them and said: "It's what is written in this book, the third sister has to say that I am a liar, that I don't know a few words, and I threw the book into the water tank." I was not convinced, so I wanted Xiucai Gong to help me evaluate the theory. ”

What she said in the courtyard was heard clearly by Xiucaigong in the house, and he came out on crutches and asked, "Wuya, if you want to judge, how do you judge the law?" ”

"Grandpa," Lu Wanxing said after saluting the old man, "They think I'm illiterate, so they're lying." I only want my grandfather to help me prove that I can read. That's it. It doesn't matter if the book is blistered, I remember everything I've read. As long as you don't get suspicious of them all the time. ”

Xiucai stroked his gray beard and glanced at Lu Chengding, Lu Chengding understood, and took the book in Lu Wanxing's hand.

The old man opened the wet book, and his brow furrowed. In that era, books were precious things, especially the reading person who loved books like life, and seeing her books being soaked like that, Xiucai Gong was really distressed.

"That's the book, you say?"

"Yes!"

"You still say you know how to read?"

"Yes!"

"Who taught you the words you recognize?"

Xiucai asked tremblingly, Lu Wanxing paused, and said shyly, "I learned from Guo Rui secretly." ”

Xiucai nodded openly and said, "Then I'll test you?" ”

"Okay, grandpa, you say." Lu Wanxing is not afraid of the test, you are taking the test of 300 Tang poems, and she can also recite eight or nine without leaving ten.

Xiucai Gong opened the book full of dirt, casually turned the page and asked, "Have you also read this book?" ”

"I've seen it, but not too closely."

"Okay, I'll just ask you how to pronounce this word?"

Lu Wanxing came to his side and looked at the word, "chrysanthemum", after saying this word, he also read that sentence by the way, "When planting chrysanthemums, we should pay attention to the following points......

Lu Chengding and Widow Lin both came to the front, and they couldn't see any change in Xiucaigong's expression, so he turned a few more pages of the book and pointed to another line of words and asked, "What about this passage?" ”

"Caozhou peony is the best in the world, the flower of peony wealth ......"

Xiucaigong turned a few more pages in disbelief, simply closed the book, and said to Lu Chengding: "Go to my house and get a random book." ”

Lu Chengding trotted into the house, and Widow Lin looked at Lu Wanxing in surprise. When Lu Chengding came back, Lu Wanxing glanced at the book he brought, "Zhuangzi".

Xiucai Gong handed her the book and said, "Do you recognize the words in this book?" ”

Lu Wanxing took the book, flipped to "Getaway" and recited casually: "There is a fish in the North Underworld, whose name is Kun, and the Kun is so big that it can't fit in a pot; Speaking of this, he smiled a little awkwardly and said, "It doesn't seem right." Pretending to be a little stumbling, he said, "I don't know how many thousands of miles it is." ”

Xiucai Gong looked at her with a smile on his face, and couldn't help sighing, "It's a pity, it's a pity." ”
