Chapter 8 Wei Zhifei
"What have you gained from reading recently?" Dong Jingshan leaned back in his chair and asked casually.
"The chapter on 'University' is so short that I read it in one morning and memorize it, and then I feel like I have nothing to do." Ye Jing paused, she remembered the scene when she first read a school a month ago.
On that day, Ye Jing took out a copy of "The Analects" from the box at random, and stomped back to the table to read it carefully, but Zhu Huo took another book and walked over to her with both hands in front of her and handed it to her respectfully.
"Young master, when I was young, I heard the adults in my family say that I have read 1,300 books, and I should read "University" first when I read four books. Young Master might as well take a look at this first. Zhu Huo hung his head slightly, and saw his thin lips open and close, and spit out a few warm words.
Ye Jing raised her eyebrows in some surprise, this bamboo noise seemed to know a lot, and she was a little curious about his background.
"You know a lot, yes." Ye Jing took the book and flipped through it.
However, in two hours, Ye Jing put down "University" and continued to read "Analects".
Zhu Huo stood aside, frowning slightly when he saw this. He suddenly took two steps back and bowed to Ye Jing, "The little one has a question that I don't know how to solve, I hope the young master can answer it." ”
Ye Jing raised his head and said with some curiosity: "You say." ”
"What do you mean by 'Knowledge, Knowledge, Sincerity, and Righteousness'? What is the meaning of these eight characters? ”
Ye Jing was stunned for a moment, this is the content of the second paragraph of "University", which is about spiritual cultivation, and she suddenly understood that Zhu Huo was dissatisfied with her abandoning "University" too early.
She opened her mouth a little bewildered, "Hmm...... Only by exploring things can we have a correct understanding, and then the mind can be true, and then the mind can be correct. ”
"How?" Ye Jing's voice fell, and Zhu Huo followed and threw out a sentence.
Ye Jing instantly had the feeling of being called up by the teacher to answer questions when she was a student, she wanted to cry without tears, how Li Xiucai's book annotations were written, she couldn't remember much. Besides, as a science student, it's good to know this, and her Chinese grades were quite good back then.
She blinked and replied indiscriminately: "What else can I do?" Great oaks from little acorns grow.. Open your legs, raise your hands, and do it now! ”
Zhu Huo was a little stunned, he raised his eyes slightly, and saw Ye Jing holding his cheeks with his hands and looking at him with a smile.
He was about to open his mouth to refute, when he saw Ye Jing pick up "University", his clear voice was a little playful, "Okay, I'm not good at learning, and I will have to ask Zhu Huo for advice in the future." ”
"The young master has tormented the little one, the little one ......"
"Zhu Huo, how do you say this "University" should be studied?" Ye Jing beckoned to him and interrupted him.
Zhu Huo walked over with his hands down and explained in detail: "I read through it first, and then I know the meaning......
The bamboo shadow is swaying, rippling on the bamboo hustle, he is wearing a moon-white collared robe today, the style is simple, but because of the bamboo shadow swaying, it adds a bit of style.
Ye Jing supported his face, his fingers unconsciously stroked the pages of the book, and the bamboo shadows shook in his heart one by one.
When he came back to his senses, Ye Jingzheng looked upright and said: "However, after all, I swallowed dates, and I just deceived myself after reading and reciting it." This half moon of meditation and speculation is just to realize that reading is to be sincere and right. ”
"Well, since you know how to be sincere and honest, this "University" has also entered the door, and half a month has not been in vain." Dong Jingshan rubbed his chin, "Self-study at home is not a long-term solution after all, my father is busy with official duties, so he can't personally guide you in your homework." I went out to study when I was young, and my college life when I was young is still unforgettable, which has greatly benefited me in my studies. ”
The corners of his mouth curled slightly, and he continued: "Yunshen Academy will enroll students in September this year, if you write a letter of recommendation for your father, you will be able to enroll immediately." However, my father believes that Jing'er will never go through the back door," he glanced at Ye Jing, and smiled so much that his beard was about to rise, "There is an exam on the second day of the ninth month of the academy, and Jing'er will definitely be able to come out on top." ”
The corners of Ye Jing's mouth twitched, and she really wanted to punch that smiling face, "Father, I actually want to go through the back door." ”
"Hey, Jing'er is duplicitous, like an old lady." Dong Jingshan suddenly burst out laughing, "Go back and prepare." As he spoke, he pushed Ye Jing out of the door and didn't give her a chance to refute.
Ye Jing touched his chin and sighed, "Father has always been like this...... Ventilation? ”
"I don't know what the young master means, the old man has always been very gentle." The bamboo noise does not change color, and the warm voice is like a gust of wind.
Ye Jing quietly rolled his eyes, the old fox was clearly very cunning.
Ye Jing has been studying the admission topic of Yunshen Academy for the past few days, and she is dizzy when she sees it, so she simply takes Zhuhuo to the garden for a walk. There is a pavilion in the courtyard called Tunan, which is placed on the rockery in the northeast corner, which is a good place to climb high and look far away.
Ye Jing stepped on the stone steps to climb into the pavilion, his eyes suddenly opened up, leaning on the beauty, Ye Jing saw Mrs. Dong and a woman talking and laughing and walking by the lake. Ye Jing squinted at Zhu Huo and quietly mouthed over there.
After a while, he listened to Zhu Huan and said: "That's the wife of the waiter of the criminal department, and he has always been good friends with his wife, and he often comes to the house." ”
Ye Jing nodded, and was about to slip away quietly, but Mrs. Dong had already seen her. Mrs. Dong stood by the lake and beckoned to her, calling her down. Ye Jing supported his forehead and had to walk to the lake.
Mrs. Dong said softly to Mrs. Na: "Xiaoyuan, this is Jing'er." Mrs. Dong's eyes flashed, and Ye Jing could feel the pride in her words. She hurriedly saluted and said hello Madame.
The lady was also refreshed, and held her hand, "Ah Yun has always wanted to have a child under Chenghuan's knees, and now it can be regarded as a wish." ”
She suddenly pulled out a teenager from behind her, and continued: "This is my son, but I am older than you, let's play together."
Ye Jing looked at this young man at this time, he looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old, wearing a water-green round-necked robe, the robe was embroidered with cloud patterns, and it looked very elegant. But this young man can't get along with Piaoyi, because he is really shy.
Mrs. Dong and the others had already walked away, leaving only Ye Jing and Wei Zhifei still standing by the lake. Wei Zhifei grabbed his robe with both hands, his face was flushed, he kept his head down, and Ye Jing didn't see him for a long time.
"Well, my name is Ye Jing, let's go to my study?" Ye Jing asked tentatively.
Wei Zhifei nodded, and glanced up at Ye Jing a little awkwardly, "My name is Wei Zhifei." His eyes were wet, and he looked like a white rabbit.
Ye Jing's yard is not far away, and it won't be long before it arrives. Pushing open the door of the study, Ye Jing led the little white rabbit in, and Zhu Huo made tea and served it on the table.
Ye Jing saw that the little white rabbit was still with his head down, and his two hands were twisted together. She looked at him with interest, it was the first time she had seen such a shy boy, and she wanted to tease him for a while, "Zhifei, you look better than a girl." ”
The little white rabbit's face turned even redder, he raised his face and stammered, "I'm not, I'm ......" He suddenly glanced at the test questions on the table, changed his words, and asked with some surprise, "Are you going to Yunshen Academy too?" ”
Ye Jing raised his eyebrows, "Yes, do you know that you will go too?" ”
"Well, my dad asked me to enroll this year, and he wrote me a letter of recommendation." The little white rabbit blinked, and his tone became cheerful, "Maybe we can be in the same class!" ”
Ye Jing blinked, sure enough, he is still a good father, you look at others, you don't need to take exams.
"Yes, you don't have to take the test, I don't have to pass it." She spread her hands and said lazily.
The little white rabbit suddenly smiled shyly, it was really like a water lotus flower that was too shy to cool the breeze, "I have done the exam questions, it is not difficult, you will definitely be able to pass the exam." ”
Ye Jing pursed his lips, spread his hands, and said, "I'll borrow your auspicious words." ”
If you can't do the questions and you can brush the questions quickly, then you can only practice hard if you don't write well. Ye Jing's words are not ugly, but they are definitely not good-looking, and they can only be regarded as neat. Dong Jingshan did not shy away from laughing at her when he saw her words for the first time, Ye Jing clenched the pen, and the old fox's words sounded in his ears again, "Jing'er is really like a person!" Ye Jing was simply embarrassed, and he was determined to practice his words well.
There are only five days left before the exam, Ye Jing shook her wrist, and as a result, she threw off the ink, but she didn't have so much time to care, just after the ugly time, she inexplicably had a feeling of staying up late to draw pictures in her previous life.
Zhu Huo poured a cup of tea and put it on the side, and said softly: "Young master, go to bed early." ”
Ye Jing shook his head, dipped the ink again, and looked at the calligraphy written by Dong Jingshan.
Zhu was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Young master, your writing wrist is stable, and your words are a little shaky." ”
Ye Jing stopped his pen and glanced at Zhu Huo, and handed him the pen.
Zhu Huo took it, and continued to write on the paper, the word was written very delicately, and there was a faint elegant atmosphere, although it was a little immature now, if it was practiced diligently, it would become a great tool. Ye Jing's words were dwarfed by one of them, and she said helplessly: "If only you could take the exam for me, lend me your hand on the day of the exam." ”
The corners of Zhu Huo's mouth are hooked, and he suddenly laughs, like a fresh breeze, which makes people feel comfortable. He handed the pen to Ye Jing and said, "The young master can't cut it and use it, just hold his wrist steady, and the writing will be considered neat, and the practice of calligraphy must be repeated constantly, so I can't be in a hurry." ”
Ye Jingjing nodded and wrote a few more words, but he had no strength in his wrist, so he had to do it and go to bed.
In the last five days, Ye Jing took out the posture of the final review, and went to bed at the end of the school every day, Mrs. Dong saw that Ye Jing worked so hard every day, and the dinner was extraordinarily rich, and no one was allowed to wander around his yard, just like the posture of a candidate's parents.
Perhaps having a child has been Mrs. Dong's long-cherished wish for many years, she is very good to Ye Jing, she shushes her every day when she asks for peace, and it is also the best to give her yard objects.
Although Ye Jing suspected that the old fox was plotting against her, she was also grateful to the couple for giving her a comfortable life. Especially Mrs. Dong, she can see that she really cares about Ye Jing, so the two get along very well, if outsiders see it, they will not believe that they have only known each other for less than a month.
"At least now she seems to care about me, whether it's true or not, I don't care about him." Ye Jing was still skeptical, but he didn't have to be a snake.
Seeing that tomorrow is the second year of junior high school, Ye Jing went to bed early after bathing, called her tomorrow, and prepared to prepare for the exam.
