Chapter 17 School attendance
"You want to come to school?" The faint white orchid flavor of Maojian tea lingered in the nose in the water vapor, and there was a soft 'click', but the teacup lid covered the tea fragrance without hesitation. Lin Qingyan put down the teacup in his hand, slightly surprised.
"Can't you? Uncle, because Zhi'er is a daughter's family? Song Zhi tilted his head, and a trace of loss and grievance appeared in his black grape-like pupils.
"Is my uncle such a pedantic person in your eyes? Besides, when your sister is comfortable, she also goes to the school to listen to classes. Lin Tianlang feigned anger for a moment, and then explained, "Have you told the elders about this?" Does your father agree? ”
Song Zhi nodded vigorously, and the lily of the valley ear bell on his cheek shook together, looking very smart.
"Anyway, I'm bored at home, and if you want to come to school, ask if you agree or not. And I studied in the school at my uncle's house, which was naturally different from the outside. ”
Lin Tianlang helped on the side, "That's it!" You can also wrap a piece of rice here. ”
Lin Qingyan thought for a while, "It's also, right under his nose, what can happen?" ’
As soon as Lin Tianlang spoke, Lin Qingyan realized that he didn't know when he got up, stood beside him, turned his head to look at him with a frown, "Why are you here?" Isn't this point supposed to be practiced? ”
Lin Tianlang glanced at Song Zhi, and saw that she was sitting on a high openwork unicorn pattern circle chair, her legs still couldn't reach the ground, so she hung in the air and dangled, revealing the light lotus purple pants under her skirt. "I've already written the words."
Lin Qingyan was uncomfortable when he heard his triumphant tone, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he punished him with twenty more books.
Lin Tianlang's handsome face instantly became bitter, Song Zhi, a little conscienceless person, was still laughing at him on the side, Lin Tianlang pinched Song Zhi's soft cheeks, and then went to write bitterly.
……
The school of the Lin Mansion is on the Linyuan Tower of the East Courtyard, and from the Linyuan Tower, you can see the easternmost part of the Lin Mansion, the antique courtyard, which is the famous Tibetan Academy of the Lin Mansion in Kyoto.
The three generations of the Lin Mansion, from Lin Song to Lin Tianlang, all have this book collecting habit, and if they see any good books in the market, they must buy them home. When the Lin Mansion was built, Lin Song set up a courtyard to build this library pavilion, and there were hundreds of thousands of books in the pavilion.
There are more books in the Tibetan Academy than the Wenyuan Pavilion in the palace, and the Library Pavilion has a total of nearly thirty rooms.
In a few rooms, there are bamboo slips, although they have been treated with antiseptics, but they are still smoked all day long, for fear of being eaten by insects.
There are also more than a dozen scholars in this Tibetan Academy, who are responsible for keeping books and repairing ancient books, but sometimes there is still a shortage of manpower. Therefore, some poor students who go to school or borrow books in the Lin Mansion will be asked to do some chores here, and Rui Xi is one of them.
"It's almost overcast, you haven't seen it!" Shule carefully put an ancient book of the Qin Dynasty into a closed ebony box, he was so busy that he didn't even have time to relieve himself, but when he turned his head, he saw Rui Xi still squatting there leisurely and reading, "I really think of myself as a young master!" Shule had been busy for a day, and when he saw that the rain clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker, he was tired and anxious, and his tone became heavier.
These words pierced Rui Xi's sadness, his face turned white all of a sudden, and he still argued to himself: "There are fish scale clouds in the sky, and it will take an hour or two for it to rain, and the time is in time." ”
"You are less erudite, who doesn't know that this is a cotton cloud! Do you have to wait until the rice is burned to know how to start the pot? "Shule is a child who grew up in a farmer's field, and the fish scale cloud that Rui Xi said is the cotton cloud that his father told him, how could Shule not know?
"The old lady treasures these books, the whole house knows it, the Lin Mansion is for you to read, for you to eat and wear, you still don't know each other!"
Shule's voice was crisp, and the people in the courtyard could hear it clearly, "Forget it." "There was a peacemaker who spoke to lighten the atmosphere.
Rui Xi didn't reply, only lowered his head and picked up the stacks of military books in front of him, and walked into the T-shaped library pavilion.
Shule didn't mean to get along with Rui Xi, he got along well with other poor students, usually talked and laughed, and occasionally went out to drink wine together when he took turns off.
But this Rui Xi has always been above the top, and Shule knows that he can't look down on a peasant kid like himself with mud on his trouser legs.
'Hmph, where did he get himself?' I heard that his grandfather was also a civil servant before? How many years have they been turned into white bones! I thought I was a powerful young master! ’
The Lin Mansion is very kind to the servants, Shule is comfortable doing things here, although he is busy when he is busy, but when he is free, as long as he talks to the head of the library pavilion, Shuxiang, you can also borrow a book to see, although the lone ancient book is not borrowed, but ordinary books can be borrowed.
So seeing that Rui Xi was eating and drinking for nothing here, and she was so unconcerned, Shule was very annoyed.
"What are you angry with him?" Shumo came over, he was a young man with thin eyes and a white face, and he spoke softly, "If you were on duty with him last night, you would have to be mad." ”
"What's wrong?" Shule asked.
"What else, the same old way. After smoking the incense, he held the book and read it in the corner. I carried the incense burner and the spices back alone. Hearing Shumo say this, Shule subconsciously glanced at his weak wrist, and his dissatisfaction with Rui Xi was a little more.
Not everyone in the Lin Mansion can come to borrow books, and the person who borrows the book needs to submit a copy of his own article, so that Lin Shanfeng, the head of the Lin Mansion, can look at it first, and affirm the person's talent and learning, before he can borrow the book, and he can only borrow one book at a time, and within a month, he must return it.
Rui Xi was really lucky, he was originally sold into the mansion to be a scholar for Lin Tianlang, but because Lin Tianlang cherished his talents, he was exempted from the deed of sale, and he was able to go to school in Linyuan Building, not to mention, no one would instruct him to do heavy work on weekdays.
However, the so-called Shengmi En's hatred may have been given too much by the Lin Mansion, which made Rui Xi feel disgusted in his heart.
"Why didn't you go to dinner?" Han Han walked in, he was also a student living in the Lin Mansion, but because he was a distant relative of the chief manager Lin Shanfeng, and the Han Mansion was far away in Qizhou, plus he also had some talent, so he was allowed to live in the Lin Mansion temporarily.
"Not hungry." Rui Xi only said this, then lit the oil lamp, picked up a book and read it, making it clear that he didn't want to reply.
Han Han didn't bother to pay attention to him, picked up a few taels of silver under the pillow, and went out to visit the night market with a few people who had made an appointment before.
The door clicked shut, Rui Xi glanced towards the door, and retracted his gaze expressionlessly, the warm yellow light of the oil lamp couldn't melt the coldness between his eyebrows.
The place where the students live is a small courtyard in the north of the Tibetan Academy, called Koi Residence, and the good intentions of the carp jumping over the dragon gate are taken. Once you arrive, the only gate that connects to the Lin Mansion will be locked, but there is a corner gate to the north to exit the mansion.
The students next to him have no opinion on this, after all, they are outsiders, and it is normal for them to guard against some.
It's just that Rui Xi is a little angry in his heart, and he always feels that the people in the Lin Mansion treat him as a thief.
He flipped a page of the book, and the words on the book, which had been upright, suddenly became blurred.
Rui Xi closed her eyes, and a bamboo forest appeared in her mind for no reason, the bamboo forest in the dim twilight, the cold green, the girl's extremely beautiful face and cold gaze, made Rui Xi suddenly open her eyes.
'How so?' Rui Xi's heart seemed to be empty, he poured a cup of cold tea, only wet his lips, and put the cup back.
……
The sunlight leaked from between the interlaced lotus leaves, and happened to fall on Song Zhi's eyes, which were blood-red. The slender boat shuttled among the lotus leaves, until the center of the lake, and saw the last few young lotus canopies at the end of summer.
"Who is clamoring to come and pick the lotus pods? Why do you look like you want to sleep? Didn't sleep well last night? Song Ling's joking voice came, and Song Zhi opened his eyes and shook his head.
"No, it's just that this little boat is swaying and relaxing." Song Zhi had already seen the lotus canopy behind Song Ling, so he got up and walked towards the bow of the boat.
Song Zhi got together, and the boat shook violently because of the imbalance. "Don't, don't." Song Ling hurriedly waved her hand to sit down, and then rowed a boat to the edge of the lotus canopy, Song Zhi picked up a pair of dragon and phoenix scissors with gold wire, and began to 'harvest'.
"There don't seem to be a few left." Song Zhi put aside a few lotus flowers in his hand and looked into the depths.
"Summer is almost over, don't you think it's a little cool these nights?" Seeing that there were few lotus canopies left, Song Ling shook back to the sea.
Far away from the shore, he saw a man standing on the shore. At such a distant glance, I can't even see his appearance clearly, but I only feel that he is as dazzling as the sun and the moon, and as vigorous as pines and cypresses, as if embedded in his eyes, and he is unforgettable.
Song Zhi lowered his eyes for some reason, only to see that the boat was about to dock, and the water waves were shaking one by one, which was a little ambiguous.
"Jing Yu, are you done?" Song Ling carried Song Zhi ashore, and then jumped lightly. "When I came, I heard Uncle Cui say that you entered the palace, so I came to play with my little sister by myself."
Shen Baiyan stretched out his hand to take Song Zhi's hand, he pursed his lips, as if he was in a bad mood, and only responded, "Hmm." ”
Song Zhi looked at his side face, and then lowered his head to look at the few lotus plants in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Why don't you call someone?" Shen Baiyan looked down at Song Zhi beside him, she was wearing a light blue embroidered brocade cloud skirt with eight Hunan skirts, and a blue flower on her sideburns that he didn't recognize, and Song Zhi's whole person was as white as a piece of ice jade.
He had been in the palace all day, and his ears were full of nonsense and nonsense, and he suddenly wanted to hear her call her brother sweetly.
"Brother Shen." Hearing him say this, Song Zhi screamed obediently, and a very shallow smile appeared on Shen Baiyan's lips.
"Let's have dinner here and go back." Shen Baiyan said.
"Okay!" In front of Shen Baiyan, Song Ling has always been unkind.
Uncle Cui, who was on the side, listened to the conversation between the two of them, so he quietly disappeared and hurriedly went to the kitchen to order more dishes.
