Pei Zhiyan looked at her for a while, then smiled slightly: "I don't have anything for you to do in my mansion. You can come to the study and read at least one book every two months." Under Ren Yaoqi's surprised gaze, he He added leisurely: "I will check every now and then. If you don't take it seriously, I will let you do something else."
Ren Yaoqi was very surprised when he heard this strange "errand", thinking that this person asked her from Eunuch Lu just to let her read in the study? But it was one thing to be surprised and puzzled. Ren Yaoqi immediately responded because he was afraid that Pei Zhiyan would go back on it.
From then on, she went to study in the study on time every day at 90 o'clock, ate and rested for an hour at noon, then continued to go back to study in the study until 14 o'clock, and after having dinner, she continued to read in her room with a light for an hour at night. She didn't dare to be lazy. Compared with "doing something else", she was willing to stay in the study with books every day.
When she was in the study, Pei Zhiyan was sometimes there, but most of the time he was lying on the soft floor to read, or sitting by the desk to write. Ren Yaoqi never approached him, she just sat quietly. By the qin case by the west wall. Pei Zhiyan ignored her, and never even asked her to grind ink and never let her do the work of serving tea and pouring water.
Pei Zhiyan never interfered with which book she was reading, as long as it was a book in his study, she was free to choose. Ren Yaoqi felt that her presence in Pei's house was very low, and she only met few people in her study and her small courtyard every day. Over time, Ren Yaoqi felt a lot more at ease in Pei's house. Because during the time she was in Pei's house, she also secretly inquired about it, and learned that this Lord Pei was deeply in love with his late wife and wife, and had never had a concubine or a concubine. Planning, she thought that maybe Pei Zhiyan asked her to come back because of a whim.
Ren Yaoqi discovered through a period of time that Pei Zhiyan is really a very lazy and casual person. For example, if he can lie down, he will never sit, and if he can sit, he will never stand. His favorite reading is reclining. On the soft collapse of the study, Ren Yaoqi believed that if he could write while lying down, he would not move to the desk to write. Pei Zhiyan did not pay attention to "standing like a pine and sitting like a bell" as a scholar.
Ren Yaoqi once went to sit on his floppy pad secretly out of curiosity, but found that Pei Zhiyan's floppy pad was a little harder than ordinary floppy pads, but it was very comfortable. But she only sat there secretly once, except for the books in the study, she never touched anything on Pei Zhiyan, the drawers and boxes in his study were not locked, and Ren Yaoqi didn't sneak through it while he was away. Ren Yaoqi's favorite thing to do when he was at home was to look through his father's drawers and boxes, and one time he turned out a beautifully painted erotic palace picture.
She thought that someone with such a lazy temperament said that she wanted to check her reading was just casual talk, so although she went to the study to read every day regardless of the weather, she didn't take Pei Zhiyan's words seriously until she continued to read in the study. After two months of reading, Pei Zhiyan called her to his side.
"What books have you read in the past two months?" Pei Zhiyan was still leaning on the soft slump, and when he asked her this sentence, he lowered his eyes and looked nonchalant.
"Miscellaneous Notes on Westward Journey," "Taiping Yearbook", "Jing Shi Ji"." Ren Yaoqi replied in a low voice.
After reading three books in two months, Ren Yaoqi felt that she had worked very hard. After all, Pei Zhiyan only asked her to read one book in two months, so she did not feel guilty when she answered.
Pei Zhiyan didn't even lift his head: "In the ninth chapter of "Miscellaneous Notes on the Westward Journey", there are eight women with different appearances, what is the name of the one in red, where does she live, and how old is she?"
Ren Yaoqi stared blankly at Pei Zhiyan when he heard the words.
Pei Zhiyan didn't hear her answer for a long time, so he took time to glance at her, and said leisurely: "Can't answer? Then..."
Ren Yaoqi was so frightened that she immediately replied, "Wait, that girl seems to be called Qin Jiuniang. She lives... She lives in Daotian Village, and she is old..." Ren Yaoqi frowned and thought for a long time. Not bad, but I still can't remember the age of the girl in red mentioned in the book.
That miscellaneous note is actually a travel journal, each of which is not too long. The ninth chapter mentioned by Pei Zhiyan is only four pages long, and most of the characters that appear are just a sentence or two. Ren Yaoqi can roughly memorize it. The name is already a good memory.
After all, Ren Yaoqi was still young at that time, and Pei Zhiyan seemed to want to make things difficult for her, so she couldn't help being a little unconvinced when she spoke, although the tone was still very respectful because people were under the eaves: "I really I don't remember the age of the red-clothed girl mentioned in the book, so please enlighten me."
Pei Zhiyan looked at her for a while, then laughed suddenly, and said in a sincere and seductive tone: "Is it mentioned in the book that there was a famine in Xingyuan Mansion when she was born?"
Ren Yaoqi frowned and thought about it, as if he really mentioned such a sentence, he nodded: "It is indeed mentioned."
Pei Zhiyan asked again: "It was mentioned at the beginning of this book that Zhang Sheng traveled from Kyoto in the third year of Qinglong, and it took him two years to get to Lizhou, Qingyuan prefecture. Then he passed the rice field village in Lizhou. What year should it be?"
Ren Yaoqi paused and said hesitantly, "Five years of Qinglong, but..."
Pei Zhiyan ignored her rebuttal and continued: "Since Qin Jiuniang has reached the age when she sees an adult man blushing and hasn't married, her age should be between ten and twenty, and the year she was born was Zheng Qing. In a certain year between fifteen and twenty-five years of Zhengqing, during this period, there was only one drought in Lizhou in twenty-five years of Zhengqing, and now you come back and tell me how old Qin Jiuniang is."
Cold sweat broke out on Ren Yaoqi's head, and his voice was a little difficult: "Sixteen years old."
Pei Zhiyan finally nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, it's sixteen years old, do you still insist that this girl's age is not mentioned in the book?"
Ren Yaoqi: "..."
Pei Zhiyan leaned on the soft collapse and looked at her, with a smile on his face: "Aren't you lucky?"
Ren Yaoqi lowered his head: "I dare not..."
Pei Zhiyan said: "You think that because you have a good memory, you think reading is an easy task. If it is really that easy, then it is better to test your memory than the champion. When you read, you need to think about it and know how to draw inferences from one case, not simple. It’s better to remember the content of the book. Reading is not too much, but it is refined. Some people can’t understand the book after reading a lifetime. So why don’t you waste this time and have fun? If you only read one book in your life Books, but can understand the truth from it, that is a good harvest."
Ren Yaoqi listened, and her expression gradually became serious. Only then did she realize that Pei Zhiyan was correcting her way of reading. Before, because she was worried that Pei Zhiyan thought she was lazy, she read a few more books. Naturally, she didn't pay much attention. She didn't want to be discovered by Pei Zhiyan, so she asked such a tricky question to test her.
This time Ren Yaoqi bowed his head and said respectfully, "Yes sir, I know I was wrong."
Pei Zhiyan raised his eyes and asked her, "What's wrong?"
Ren Yaoqi said earnestly, "I can't chew more than I can chew. My husband let me read a book in two months, and it's been a waste of time for me."
This time, Pei Zhiyan was finally satisfied, so he lay back and read his own book. He continued in a nonchalant tone: "Ruzi can teach you!" You read it three more times. I'll come back to you in three months."
Ren Yaoqi bowed his head and was about to go back to Qin's desk to read a book, but Pei Zhiyan said again, "But you didn't satisfy me today, so..."
When Ren Yaoqi heard this, he couldn't help but stiffen.
Pei Zhiyan paused, and seemed to think for a while before continuing: "So I will punish you for cleaning the study for three months."
Ren Yaoqi breathed a sigh of relief, almost happily accepting the punishment.
Since then, Pei Zhiyan has become her husband inexplicably. She is willing to let her read books for two years by herself. She will be tested once every two months. If she answers well, she will not be rewarded. over grass.
After two years of herding sheep and grazing in this way, Pei Zhiyan will designate some books for her while she chooses books to read, but Ren Yaoqi only likes to read travel notes, unofficial history, and market interest. She is not very interested in other books. interested. Once Pei Zhiyan assigned her to watch "The Economic Record of Famous Officials", she couldn't stand it anymore, so when answering questions, Pei Zhiyan was dissatisfied, and she subconsciously replied: "I don't. Go for the champion exam and see what these do!"
Pei Zhiyan was not angry, he just waved lazily and punished her to flush the toilet...
Pei Zhiyan just said one sentence and let Ren Yaoqi die: "I'm a gentleman, you are a student, and I have the final say in academic matters. If you don't like this way of getting along, let's change it?"
Ren Yaoqi thinks that she should go and watch "Economic Records of Famous Officials"...
