Chapter 5: Blame
Reading this, he stopped and motioned to Du Jinning to recite it.
He taught Mongolian studies, and the content was only "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Text". The "Three Character Classic" that Du Jinning memorized just now may have been written down when listening to the children read it before, and it is not counted. And "University" was something he had never talked about in the school. It is best to use this to test Du Jinning.
"The way of university is ...... in Mingmingde" Du Jinning recited it word for word. Du Yinsheng had some accents, she didn't dare to memorize all of them correctly, and deliberately mispronounced two words.
As she recited, Du Yinsheng's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his face became more and more surprised. These contents are quite awkward, he thought that even if Du Jinning had good qualifications, it would be good to be able to memorize two or three sentences paradoxically, but he didn't want such a long sentence, she could actually memorize it, and there were almost no mistakes.
If it weren't for Du Jinning, he watched him grow up, and he knew the child's situation very well, and Du Chensheng's three grandsons had not learned the Four Books and Five Classics, he would have doubted that Du Jinning had memorized the content of "University" in advance.
In order to confirm his conjecture, he changed another book, this time reading the sentence in "The Mean": "Rule the country first; Those who want to rule their country must first gather their families; Those who want to gather their families must first cultivate their bodies. Those who want to cultivate their bodies must first correct their hearts; Those who want to correct their hearts must first be sincere; If you want to be sincere, you should know it first. ”
This time, without waiting for him to signal, Du Jinning took the initiative to memorize: "The ancient desire is ...... to be clear and virtuous in the world" This time, she did not memorize a single word.
Du Yinsheng looked at her like a rare treasure. He said solemnly: "I will go and tell your grandfather in the evening and ask him to send you to study." ”
"But, but, grandfather knows about it, and he will punish me." When Du Jinning heard the word "grandfather", he shrank in fear and stammered.
Du Yinsheng sighed and touched her head: "Don't be afraid, everything has an uncle and grandfather." He turned his head to look at the room, then lowered his head, looked at Du Jinning, and his voice was unusually warm: "You go home first." It's cold outside, don't get sick anymore. If you are sick, you can't go to school. ”
Du Jinning nodded, got up and walked a few steps slowly, and then turned back, Du Yinsheng was still standing in place. Seeing this, he smiled at her and waved his hand.
Du Jinning also laughed, raised his arm and danced hard towards Du Yinsheng, and ran towards the village with his legs.
ran to the entrance of the village, and when she turned back, Du Yinsheng was gone. Du Jinning breathed a long sigh of relief, raised his eyes to look at the sun hidden in the clouds, and his heart, which had been suppressed by the dull atmosphere of the Du family in the past few days, suddenly opened up a lot.
She turned around and walked towards the village, step by step. However, when passing by Du's house, she did not go in, but walked along the road until she had visited the village, and then returned to Du's house.
The name of this village is Peach Blossom Village, which is named after a forest planted at the east end of the village. The village is not big, only about 100 families with mixed surnames. Judging from the grade and new and old of the house, Du Chensheng's family seems to be rich in the village. And Du Yinsheng's house next door is taller and bigger than Du Chensheng's house, but the bricks on the outer wall look relatively old, as if it is an old house. Although this old house is old, it is more magnificent than Du Chensheng's house.
Back near Du's house, Du Jinning saw a tall and thin figure standing at the door, but it was Du Fangling. Du Fangling is only thirteen years old today, but she has grown to more than one meter and six, a little taller than Du Fangfei, and I don't know how she grew in the case of serious lack of nutrition.
Du Jinning was puzzled, not knowing how it would be Du Fangling back today.
Because Du Fanghui is collecting firewood and picking pigweed, plus taking care of the vegetable garden, sometimes she will come back at noon. This is also what Chen's advised, she didn't feel at ease when Du Jinning was left alone at home, so Du Fanghui came back to take a look, and by the way, she brought food for Du Jinning.
When Du Fangling saw Du Jinning, she didn't say hello, turned around and entered the courtyard gate. It wasn't until Du Jinning followed her into the house one after the other that she said coldly: "You don't listen to your mother, lie down at home, where did you go?" ”
Du Jinning frowned slightly, didn't speak, and climbed directly onto the bed to lie down.
Since she woke up, among these people in the third room of the Du family, Chen and Du Fangfei have taken her as their life, and Du Fanghui has also been kind to her, but this Du Fangling, as if she owes her, every time she sees her, she treats her coldly instead of making mockery. In front of Chen and Du Fangfei, she was more restrained, and with the two of them behind her back, she was even more discouraged towards Du Jinning.
Du Jinning herself is not a good-tempered person, whoever wants to be good to her, she will naturally return with sincerity; Whoever wants to treat her badly, she will also double her accompaniment. So she didn't bother to pay attention to this third sister who treated her badly.
"You ......" Du Fangling saw that Du Jinning actually ignored herself, she was so angry that she was smoking, and pointed at Du Jinning and said, "In addition to losing your temper with us, what else can you do?" What book can't you touch yet? Now it's okay, for you, the eldest sister is going to marry a fool, you're good, as if nothing happened, and you're still wandering around on a cold day. I, I'm ......" she said, walked over, raised her slap and wanted to slap Du Jinning, but the slap was raised for a long time, but it didn't fall. She stomped her foot hard, turned around and was about to go out, but collided with Du Fanghui, who was about to enter the door.
"Third sister, why are you back?" Du Fanghui wiped the sweat on her forehead with her sleeve and asked with a smile.
Du Fangling glanced at the bird egg in Du Fanghui's hand, and suddenly glared: "You climbed the tree to dig up the bird egg again?" Don't you remember when you fell from a tree last year? What did you promise your mother at that time, do you remember? ”
"Remember, remember." Du Fanghui hurriedly nodded, "This one was dug in a very low tree, really." As he spoke, he explained, "My brother is not in good health, so I will make up for him." ”
Du Fangling glanced back at Du Jinning, sneered, and asked, "Your fourth sister risked falling from a tall tree, and she was reluctant to eat any of them, so she brought it back to you, what do you have to repay her?" ”
Du Jinning looked at them silently and didn't say a word.
Du Fanghui frowned when she saw it, and asked Du Fangling, "Are you scolding your little brother again?" Where did he mess with you? You don't have a good voice for him all day. ”
"Where did he mess with me? He provoked everything, not only me, but also you, eldest sister, mother, whoever he provoked. Du Fangling said, turned around and went out.
Du Fanghui hurriedly walked to the bed, handed the two bird eggs in her hand to Du Jinning, and comforted her with a smile: "Don't listen to the third sister, she is fierce to you, but she actually hurts you very much." ”
