Chapter 9 Reading
For two days in a row, Cheng Jinzhou selected 3 books, read 45,000 words, and used more than 100 stones of grain cleanly
"If you keep doing it, you're going to go bankrupt." Cheng Jinzhou would say this every time he finished reading a book, but after copying it, he would buy it again.
The biggest advantage of the traverser, if you don't use it, it's too stupid. Although what he is doing now is not smart.
The small ledger is more comfortable than him, and if he comes to copy for three or four hours a day, he can have a big day off. The work is much easier than usual, but the content copied is sparse, and it can't be copied wrong, but that's all.
If there is nothing to disturb, Cheng Jinzhou may go to find money and food again, and then continue to read until he can't get money, or he will stop when he has a book on steel, iron, and glass, as for how to use the resources in his hands, he really doesn't have time to think about it.
Theoretical mathematics and English literature are too far away from the real world - at least in Cheng's view.
However, before Cheng Jinzhou really went bankrupt, the day of ancestor worship came.
Ancestor worship is a big event, and for the women at home, it is a first-class event.
The night before, Cheng's mother turned out all the things she had prepared countless days ago, and re-checked them one by one, lest there be any omissions, Cheng Jinzhou was inevitably picked up and slipped out, and tried on the three sets of clothes back and forth.
The three sets of clothes are all Nanhu satin, two blue and red tuan-body tassel gowns are worn when worshipping ancestors, and a new royal blue shirt is to be changed after the ceremony, and even the gold lock stuffed in the neck has been prepared - Junzi Peiyu, the rule of the Cheng family, minors can only wear gold and silver.
The gown worn during the ancestor worship is the most complicated, there are three layers inside and out, and the material is very soft and comfortable, but after three or four times of winding, the tight heat replaces the smooth touch. It's as if you've applied too much toner or cleanser.
Cheng Jinzhou twisted his body vigorously, and while fighting with the two girls, he said dissatisfiedly: "Mother, it only takes half a day to worship the ancestors, it would be good to have a gown, why bother to make another set, and you can't wear it on weekdays." ”
Since then, he has no psychological burden in terms of title.
Cheng's mother looked her son up and down, pulled twice with her hand from time to time, and said casually: "What if you tear it up and hang it up, the more times like this, the more you can't make mistakes, the whole family, as well as the visiting guests, how many people are watching." ”
Cheng Jinzhou said in the tone of the expression inherited from the sick seedling Cheng: "This dress is a lot of money, except for worshipping the ancestors, I am not allowed to wear it, and when I am next year, it will definitely be small." ”
"Oh, learn to be thrifty." Cheng's mother praised him first, and then said: "The money that should be spent can't be saved, this year, our family, just your sister-in-law, must be perfect." ”
Cheng Jinzhou suddenly shook his head and smiled. A Nanhu gown, not considered handmade, at least 2o taels of silver, two pieces of 4o taels of silver just to wear a morning, this cost, but not low at all. If it is calculated according to the price of grain, it will cost 12oo US dollars, and when converted into the output value of modern land, it will have to be multiplied by three or four times. It's not much different from what 21st-century stars spend on Oscars.
The most important thing is that this is still the cost of one of his children, the Cheng family has a large family, 4 branches, and there are dozens or hundreds of sons and grandchildren in each family alone, and the whole family can use up half of the town's taxes just for clothing and accessories.
Thinking about it, Cheng Jinzhou quickly became happy again, and said, "Then when I pulled out the green, I was the first?" ”
The so-called pulling green, taking the blessing of the ancestors, is somewhat similar to grasping the week, is after the end of the ancestor worship, screening out some of the gifts given by the guests, and letting the children choose one. The difference is that the children must be between 8 and 15 years old, they are old enough to be able to distinguish between good and bad, and at the same time, the gifts received by the children do not have to be returned.
However, it was also the beginning of the children's deepest contact with this hierarchical society - different children entered different rooms, and the order was always according to the seniority, the eldest and the youngest, and the academic grades, and only the girls who came out of the clan were eligible to participate in the group, and the rest were organized by each family itself.
Different family backgrounds and statuses, the final gifts are naturally not the same.
Thinking that among the gifts given by countless guests, he could choose a thing he liked like a free gift from the city, Cheng Jinzhou almost forgot the tension brought by the long coat, at the very least, the things that he got in exchange for pulling out of the green can get him out of the shadow of bankruptcy.
Cheng Mu nodded with a chuckle, and said, "I don't know who the old lady favors this year, you also have to review your homework well, don't be unable to answer when the time comes." ”
The Zhang family worships the ancestors, like most families, will recruit relatives and friends to come to watch the ceremony, not to mention their own families, Cheng Jinzhou's five uncles, except for a few in other provinces, must participate on time, and the family members who have functions have to ask for leave.
It stands to reason that in the absence of the second room, as the only grandson of the Qingzi branch, and as the first major branch of the Cheng family, Cheng Jinzhou must be the first to enter the room. But Cheng's mother couldn't speak too slowly, at least, there were two girls standing next to her.
Cheng Jinzhou also smiled and stopped talking, immersed in the longing for Baqing, fantasizing that he would find a gift worth a thousand gold, so that Yiqiē's question about money would no longer be a problem from now on.
Of course, this is completely his fantasy, and the gifts of Baqing are also selected, listed in the room, not only to determine the value, but also a lot of exquisiteness, not simply to put all the guests' gifts in, to detect leaks, it is almost impossible.
……
In the evening, as usual, I read a book.
Although the conclusions reached by Euclid in the Primitives of Geometry are not much different from those of junior geometry, the main value of the original geometry, at least the present value, is mainly reflected in the process of reaching the conclusions, and the longer the study is carried out, the stronger the taste becomes.
I am afraid that there are more mathematicians who have become famous by studying geometry than by studying the theory of relativity.
Cheng Jinzhou didn't expect to relive the journey of his predecessors, but he tried to find traces of the star warlock through the few books he had in his family—as an old boy who had received nearly 2o years of education, Cheng Jinzhou didn't think that he still had a chance to change his mindset, and in that case, he had to adapt to the world.
The longer he came to this world, the stronger Cheng Jinzhou's sense of reality became, if he was lucky at the beginning, hoping that it was Nan Ke's dream, and after a month, he completely substituted himself into his new identity.
After crossing, people's psychology will also change, as if looking back at the world, new realizations, new identities, and new environments always urge people to forge ahead.
Cheng Jinzhou had a deep sense of crisis.
Here, it is no longer the world I am familiar with, peaceful and tranquil.
Born in a family, it is a kind of luck, but it is not uncommon to compete for favor and profit, and Cheng Jinzhou has never missed the family planning policy so much.
Whenever he thought of the sorrow of his relatives who were marginalized, he couldn't help but have an upward momentum, originally there was still some lack of direction, but after having the Astral Library, these were not a problem at all.
Flipping through "Geometric Original", Cheng Jinzhou tried his best to recall the bits and pieces in the classroom back then, in this era, even a little bit of it may bring great changes.
