Tao Weng smiled, "Mu'er will enter the barracks early next year, and she should come here to accompany us for a while in advance."

The old lady said, "There is finally hope for this day."

Tao Gong said, "Mu'er is not around, let Ding Xiaoya come to talk to you more, and your days will still be easy to pass." She is not allowed to work as hard as she does today, and if she reads a book for two quarters of an hour, she must speak with you for two quarters of an hour."

The old lady was very happy, "Where is there such an unreasonable old man as you."

Tao Weng stroked his beard and said seriously, "I'm still young, I'm like a baby now, why should I be reasonable."

The old lady laughed, "What an old child."

She looked out the small window, and the orange twilight shrouded the unfamiliar courtyard and the mountains. With an old man and a grandson, this place is no stranger.

When Lilac came home, her father and brother came back, and her grandfather didn't come back because he was busy with his career.

She took out the lotus crisp.

The leaves of the lotus crisp are pink, and the sugar heart in the middle is yellow, which is crispy and fragrant, and it is very delicious.

Ding Li said, "It's better than the dim sum sold in the county."

Ding Liren looked at Lilac enviously. Mr. Li is a Xiucai, while Tao Weng is a Jinshi, and the difference is not ordinary. According to Mr. Li, he also went to Tao Mansion to consult Tao Weng.

Lilac patted her chest and said, "When I get acquainted with Tao Weng, if my brother doesn't understand something, I'll take you to ask him."

Ding Lilai's eyes also lit up, "Sister, there are many things I don't understand in "Original Geometry".

"Original Geometry" is too professional, and Ding Xiang doesn't know if Tao Weng has studied arithmetic.

In ancient times, arithmetic was not even a major subject, not even a minor subject, and it was a miscellaneous course. Although Guozijian, academies, and private schools will teach, because the imperial examination is not examined, everyone does not pay attention to it. I heard that the gentlemen in Guozijian and the academy, the one who teaches arithmetic gets the lowest money, and even the gentleman who teaches Yinlu and Danqing can't compare.

Hearing that Ding Xiang was looked at differently by Tao Weng, Ding Zhao was also happy.

Zhang said, "My father-in-law didn't come back today, so I asked Li Maigao to send him jade tofu, and I specifically said that it was Xiangxiang's filial piety."

As long as Ding Zhuang heard that it was his granddaughter's filial piety, he would definitely eat it.

After that, Lilac would go to Tao's house twice in three days. I'm embarrassed to go in the morning, I have a suspicion of rubbing rice, and I go after the old lady's lunch break. First accompany the old lady to laugh for half an hour, then read the book and read it out loud. The soft and glutinous children's voice sounded, and the old lady was also happy to hear it.

Lilac asks a question, and the old lady rushes to answer.

Lilac will pat her ass, "Grandma Tao is a talented girl."

Tao Weng quipped, "It's a talented girl."

Amused the old lady to the amusement.

Ding Zhen followed her twice, but she couldn't interject and listened to them quietly.

After that, Ding Zhen was reluctant to follow every time, feeling bored.

On this day, Lilac took Aya'er and Heiwa to Tao's house again.

The old lady had a bad appetite, so Lilac asked Li Maigao's family to make a pot of corn and winter melon mung bean pork rib soup.

The ancients used to eat corn as a staple food, and it was necessary to wait until the corn was dried after it was eldered, and then ground into flour or ballast, and the corn cobs were either fed to pigs or thrown away.

They don't know how delicious and appetizing the tender corn stew with the cob is.

I also made a plate of yam cakes, which were baked in the oven.

Aunt Lu also makes yam dim sum, and she likes to use mashed yam and red bean paste to steam in a pot. The cloves are different, they are filled with rose sauce and crushed peanuts, and they are also molded into shapes, which are somewhat like small mooncakes in the previous life.

I went at noon and had a meal there today.

Tao Weng really likes this soup, it is fragrant and nutritious.

The old lady likes to eat yam cakes, which are sweet, soft and good-looking.

Lilac likes to eat the osmanthus golden crisp made by Aunt Lu, which is crispy and fragrant.

She secretly thought in her heart that the wisdom of the ancients should not be underestimated. Take food as an example, many of the delicacies are delicious and beautiful, and the names are particularly good. In the future, I will have to rely on a little bit of heart to get out of position, and I can only do West Pastry.

After the meal the old lady rests, cloves

I went to the study and took the book she hadn't finished reading and continued to read.

Now she has seen the seventh volume of "Three Kingdoms".

She thought that she was already familiar with Tao Weng, and after getting the book, she picked up the quill pen and played with it, only to notice that two words were engraved on the red gold cylinder, all over the world.

Lilac's heart jumped suddenly, could this "Four Seas" be Xun Sihai?

Xun Sihai likes to deal with foreigners.

Tao Weng once said that this was sent by one of his students, could it be that Xun Sihai was Tao Weng's student?

Lilac whispered, "The Four Seas, does it refer to the sea or the name of a person?"

Tao Weng said, "Xun Sihai, one of my students. This son is very smart, but it's a pity that he doesn't have a long way to do things. When this thing is done, let's go for another thing. Another thing is no longer novel, another one...... I am proficient in many subjects, but I can't do it perfectly. For example, the strategy is good, but it can't become Sun Bin.

"Farming is good, but it's not worth it. Astronomy is good, but it can't become Zhang Heng. is good at arithmetic, but he can't become Zu Chongzhi...... The best thing I did was to know Spanish and Fan, compile a lot of foreign books, and communicate well with foreign envoys when I came......

Is this a criticism of Xun Qiandai, why does Lilac think she is praising him? What a cow man, no wonder he is an all-rounder.

But looking at Tao Weng's expression, he was really angry that the student was not angry.

As he spoke, Tao Weng poured some water into the inkstone and slowly grinded it with ink strips. After grinding, take a quill pen and dip it, and write a few words on the paper.

The font is strong and powerful, and the charm is super easy. Lilac has written hard pen writing for so many years, and she thinks that she is not as good as him.

Tao Weng shook his head and put the pen on the table, "Stingy, whether it is a foreigner's thing or a fan's thing, it is not as good as my Dali Dynasty."

Lilac saw the other side of Tao Weng again, a typical feudal scholar, conservative, stubborn, and self-righteous in some ways.

This was true of many ancient statesmen in previous lives.

Much more conservative than Xun Sihai.

Lilac weighed her weight and didn't try to convince him at all.

He doesn't like a hard pen, so he bypasses it.

Lilac pointed to the two pictures drawn by the old man on the wall and said, "Among so many pictures, I think that picture is the best, majestic, high-spirited, and far-reaching......

Before she could finish boasting, she was knocked on the head by Tao Weng.

Tao Weng sneered, "The little ghost is used to slapping on the back, and he must know that it was painted by the old man, so he said that."

Lilac's eyes lit up in surprise, "Tao Weng is the old man of Dongshan? It's so well drawn. I'm not a sycophant, I really think so."

Secretly, accept me as a student, quickly accept me as a student.

If you really become a student, not only will you have a provenance, but you will also get guidance from a master when you draw.

Tao Weng was made to laugh and cry by Lilac's expression. He didn't say anything about the apprentice, and asked Lilac to write two calligraphy on rice paper.
