The academy has a study room, which is only open to students who have entered Class A.
The study is not very big. The two-story building contains all the books in the Qingyuan Academy since its opening. These books are not worth mentioning for those large academies, but they are extremely rare in places like Huyang Township.
Under such a disadvantage, Qingyuan Academy still has students coming to study, not only because of the name of the museum owner, Lin Miao, but also for the collection of books in this study.
Ancient books are divided into four major divisions of classics and history. Before Zhuzi, Confucian scholars all regarded the reading of the six classics and other classics as the foundation of their studies, followed by the other three divisions. When Zhuzi arrived, he adjusted the order of reading the scriptures, reading the Four Books and Five Classics first, and then the rest.
The Qingyuan Academy also follows this procedure. After students are familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, they can begin to study other scriptures while learning to write essays.
Of course, there are not only these books in the study room, but also some literary houses and question banks that are loved by readers.
The so-called Wenfu question bank is some classic test-taking sample essays of past dynasties. For example, "30,000 Selections of Big Topics", "Big Topics Wenfu", "Small Questions Wenfu", "Four Books and Preliminary Purposes", etc., are all necessary sample essays for current scholars to take the imperial examination. These literati will be divided into four different categories according to the four books, which are divided into major topics and sub-topics, and each proposition will receive a different model essay.
"That's all!" Mao Badou said excitedly, touching the book in his hand.
Not only him, but also Chen Jian and Li Datian.
For a student who doesn't know how to do Baguwen, having these sample essays to study simulation can save them many detours. So Mao Badou hurriedly pulled the three of them after he found out the situation.
"It's not in vain for me to go deep into the enemy's interior, betray my color, and gain power, and I also spent a lot of money."
Speaking of this, let's talk about it before.
If it is said that the students of Class B all get up earlier than chickens and sleep later than cats, then the students who enter Class A are truly in a fairyland on earth.
Although there are two classes in the morning and evening every day, the husband does not necessarily come, and the students are not necessarily rigid in the lecture hall, but can move freely in the academy. The time for teachers to teach books has also been greatly reduced, and more of them tend to let students learn by themselves.
No one is holding on to it, and the few people who have just entered Class A can't help but slack off. Especially Mao Badou, who has nothing to do all day, has the image of returning to his old ways.
This situation didn't happen until several people entered the first ten-day examination of Class A. The examination was to do an eight-part essay, and the title was given by the library owner.
A few people suffered their first Waterloo. Except for Xue Tingxiang, the articles made by the other three people were simply ignorant and appalling.
Afterwards, the articles of all the students who entered the A class were posted for everyone to learn from each other and learn from each other's strengths. Among them, the articles of the last three people attracted sneer from many people, laughing at them being full of shit, such people can even enter the armor.
The three were disgraced and embarrassed, and even Xue Tingxiang was laughed at.
In fact, a few people were also wronged. First, they did not know that there would be a ten-day exam, and second, they had just learned to write an essay, and it was extremely difficult to be able to write one.
Xue Tingxiang also thought about whether to teach them, but he didn't want to arouse suspicion. In addition, although he had that dream, the specific memory of these specific dreams was extremely vague. However, with previous experience, he knows that he only needs to study hard, these things hidden in the depths of memory will one day be unearthed, and at that time, he will benefit endlessly.
Not to mention these, Mao Badou was quite resentful after being laughed at, but when he turned his head, he saw that he was acting strangely. After a few days, he suddenly said that he had found a good way to make a fuss, and brought three people here. The study, I didn't expect this method to be these Wenfu question banks.
Xue Tingxiang flipped through the book in his hand, smiled and shook his head, inserting the book back.
"Why does Tingxiang behave like this?" Seeing Xue Tingxiang like this, Chen Jian asked curiously.
"It's nothing, in fact, the effect of this book is not very big." After a pause, he said again: "But you can read it, and study it."
Everyone didn't understand why he said that, but they didn't think much about it.
There are more than 40 volumes in this set of Wenfu, but students cannot borrow more than two books at a time, so the four of them chose two books they liked. borrowed. After going back, I will study it carefully, and I will not list it here for the time being.
Ten days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was time to take a break.
This time it was Gao Sheng who came to pick Xue Tingxiang back, but Zhao'er didn't come. After asking, I found out that tomorrow was the day when Xue Cui'e got married, and Zhao'er was held by the main room to work at home.
Only then did Xue Tingxiang suddenly realize, and hurriedly got out of the car and went back to the school to take leave of absence from her husband. In addition to Lin Miao, the museum owner, now teaching Class A, there is another Mr. Mo surnamed Mo. Xue Tingxiang went to the Zhaishe and did not find Mr. Mo, so he could only go to the museum owner.
After listening to Xue Tingxiang's statement, Lin Miao gave him two days off without asking any further questions.
When he was about to leave, Lin Miao told him that even if he had a fake body, he would not take it off when he went back, and said that if there was anything he didn't understand, he could come to him.
Xue Tingxiang looked back at Lin Miao in surprise.
Although he is still short in the armor, he knows that it is extremely rare for the owner of the museum to say this. Who knows that the owner of the museum can teach alone, there are not many people in the whole academy, and the owner of the museum obviously has an informal meaning, which means that as long as he has any doubts, he can come to him.
No wonder Xue Tingxiang was so surprised.
Seeing to understand Xue Tingxiang's doubts, Lin Miao said: "I promised Mo Zhixian brother, I will teach you carefully, and naturally I will not break my promise."
Xue Tingxiang groaned slightly, the owner of this pavilion is really a weirdo, just teach it, if you say such words to detract from people's favor, it is a good intention in itself, and it will be misinterpreted by others.
"Thank you, the owner." He bowed his head in a respectful manner.
Lin Miao nodded, and then he left.
Back in Yuqing Village, the Xue family was busy at this time.
People came and went in the yard. In one corner of the yard were two large earthen stoves, on which was placed a large pot filled with water, which was now burning. A group of women are sitting around picking vegetables and washing vegetables, a few women are cutting meat, and a few other women are shedding chicken feathers with hot water, and they are very busy.
These women are all daughters-in-law of Xue family. There are unwritten rules in the family. If any family is happy, women of the same family will come to help.
Weddings in the countryside are all set up with water mats. Although there are teams in the countryside that specialize in helping people make mats, they are usually invited by wealthier families, and most of them are done by themselves.
If you make running water noodles yourself, you have to do a lot of work ahead of time, and you will definitely be too busy to cook so many dishes on the same day, so things like meat dishes are all processed and stored in advance, and will be used tomorrow.
As soon as Xue Tingxiang entered the door, someone greeted him.
Especially those elderly women, who are elders according to their seniority, should not be able to talk to you. After saying this, Xue Tingxiang was already dry, and he hurriedly made an excuse to go back to the house. As soon as he walked to the door, he saw Zhao'er coming out of it.
"Join."
Zhao'er nodded: "You go back to the house for a while, I'll go to work." After that, she hurried to the kitchen.
Xue Tingxiang returned to the room, put the book bag on the table, took out the dirty clothes he brought back, and leaned on the kang to think about things.
While thinking about it, a burst of laughter outside woke him up.
He listened carefully to what seemed to be a few women joking, mixed with the voice of Zhao'er, but it was too noisy outside, and some couldn't hear it clearly.
And he just listened and fell asleep.
When he woke up again, someone told him to eat, and he went out. There were three or four round tables in the yard. This is the case in the countryside. Others come to help you with the work, and you don't need to pay wages. You always have to take care of your meals.
It's not a full-fledged meal, it's natural to cook casually, and each table is filled with four pots of vegetables, both meat and vegetables, which are quite hearty.
As soon as he came out, someone called him, and when he looked at it, he found that it was called Aunt Shouxin, and they wanted to call a woman from Qizu's milk. According to the generation, the trustworthy aunt is the aunt of the old man Xue, so they naturally want to call grandma.
Aunt Shouxin sat next to Zhao'er, and the words on the table were all elderly women. Aunt Shouxin smiled meaningfully, and then waved to Xue Tingxiang: "Dog, come, sit here, you doll can't drink, but don't sit with their men."
This dog doll is not a curse word, but a nickname for the younger generation by the countrymen, which means closeness.
Xue Tingxiang walked over, and Aunt Shouxin threw a woman next to Zhao'er: "Go and go, I don't even know the eyes, what are you doing there, and I won't give way."
The woman was also funny, she pretended to be pitiful and said, "Oh, this is really old and despised by others. Okay, I'll move it, I'll move it, and let the young couple sit together."
Everyone at the table laughed, and even if Zhao'er was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but blush. She stole a glance at Xue Tingxiang subconsciously, but she met his eyes.
She was busy pretending that nothing had happened and turned her face away, but she thought of the day in her heart.
During this period, Aunt Shouxin had already chatted with Xue Tingxiang.
Asking him to go to school is fine, but he keeps up with his studies. As he talked, he began to get serious and asked Xue Tingxiang when he planned to marry Zhaoer.
Aunt Shouxin had asked Zhao'er about this question before, but Xue Tingxiang heard the laughter outside in the room, and was actually talking about it.
Zhao'er was so embarrassed that she assumed that she was not in charge of this matter, but Xue Tingxiang was in charge. It was originally a refusal, but this trustworthy aunt actually called Xue Tingxiang over to ask.
Xue Tingxiang glanced at Zhao'er and said with a smile, "Next year!"
Aunt Shouxin laughed and said to the big guy, "Look, it's still the best for boys. When this girl asked her about Zhao'er, she just wouldn't say anything. She insisted on letting the dog say it." She teased Zhao'er again. Said: "This time the dog said, you have nothing to say."
"Seven ancestors milk!"
"Ouch, this is embarrassing, it's really rare to see Zhao'er embarrassed."
These old ladies, really!
"This is really good. Next year, you will be able to drink your wedding wine. Your parents will be happy to know that they are here."
Zhao'er and Xue Tingxiang fell silent when they heard Aunt Shouxin's words.
"Gou'er, when your father and mother left, you were the one who was most worried about you. When your mother was leaving, she pulled me and said, "Seven nanny, that child of Gou'er is bored, and Zhao'er girl can do it, but she doesn't understand anything. .Let me help you to watch, always make you a baby, and she will feel at ease below.
"It stands to reason that I shouldn't say this. You are in school now, and you have seen the world. People who have read books have a high vision. You must not dislike Zhao'er. It is not easy for Zhao'er to serve you."
Aunt Shouxin said something meaningful, and since then, she has finally made it clear that she has come out, and she actually meant to remind Xue Tingxiang.
It's just that she is an outsider, and some things are hard to say face-to-face, so she can only use jokes, jokes, and jokes about Xue Tingxiang. She's a country girl.
"Don't worry, the seventh ancestor. No. I don't dislike anyone, and I won't dislike Zhao'er." Xue Tingxiang's expression was very solemn.
Aunt Shouxin said, "Since you said that, Qizu's milk will be at ease."
At this time, a woman interrupted: "It's alright, alright, it's just you who have a lot of things to do, and you like to take care of yourselves. Gouer is not the kind of person you say. Hurry up and eat food, and then we will wait. The children's dishes are cold." She greeted the people next to her.
Aunt Shouxin laughed and scolded: "Okay, okay, I'm just worrying about it, so is your wife, why don't you give me some face."
After such an interruption, what happened in the end.
However, during the meal, Xue Tingxiang and Zhao'er were both silent, each thinking about their own thoughts.
After the meal was over, I helped close the venue, and the relatives who came to help left.
When Zhao'er saw that he had nothing to do, he went to boil water to take a bath.
Xue Tingxiang washed first, she washed later, and when she returned to the front yard from the back, the doors of several rooms were closed, and the faint yellow light came out, a color of tranquility.
Seeing her, Kuroko leaned in front of the door and wagged his tail.
Zhao'er crossed it and entered the house, where Xue Tingxiang was reading a book.
"Sleep." He put the book away and said.
Zhao'er felt an inexplicable nervousness.
She pretended to clean up the quilt. Xue Tingxiang was very helpless when she saw the quilt that was far away from him. But he didn't point it out, but gossip with Zhao'er: "I think you seem to have something on your mind, is it because of the previous incident."
Zhao'er was stunned for a moment and said, "No, I just think it's weird."
Seeing her like this, Xue Tingxiang immediately narrowed his eyes and leaned over: "Why? Don't you want to marry me yet?"
Zhao'er is very cramped: "No, no, I just think it's a little weird for us to have a baby."
He got closer: "Don't you want to have a baby with me?"
Hearing this, Zhao'er subconsciously looked at the little man's face.
The appearance of the little man has a faint taste of youth, but in the end he is still young. For such a small man to have a small baby again, Zhao'er would feel strange no matter what he thinks.
She was fascinated, but she didn't realize that she had spoken her mind.
"You think I'm younger than you?"
Zhao'er hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, I don't think so."
"I'm going to grow up soon, and I'm not small at all."
It's just an ordinary sentence, but looking at the little man staring straight into his eyes, Zhao'er always has the illusion that the little man is actually talking nasty things.
Looking at him again, his expression was very serious, but why did she think crookedly, thinking of that day...
Feeling that her face was burning, she hurriedly pretended to grab the quilt, and said, "Okay, let's not talk about it, we have to get up early tomorrow, so let's rest early."
She wanted to go into the bed, but found herself being dragged.
"What are you doing?"
"Why did you sleep so far?" Xue Tingxiang glanced at the mattress.
Zhao'er smiled dryly: "Is it far? Not far."
"You slept so far away, you were disgusting me."
In order to show that he didn't dislike him, Zhao'er could only put her bedclothes back to where she was before, and desperately told herself in her heart that she was embarrassed. He was drunk that day, and he must not remember anything. If you can remember, this time will never be like this. So she didn't need to be embarrassed, it was just an accident.
After thinking about it over and over again, Zhao'er finally settled down.
Silent all night.
The next day was dark, and everyone in the Xue family woke up.
My family was busy first, and after dawn, everyone who came to help came.
Today's work is not easy. From noon, the water table will be set up, and it will be set up until the evening to send off the bride. In the evening, she will stay and continue to eat until the table is finished.
Everyone was so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground. Zhao'er originally asked Xue Tingxiang to go back to the house to read a book, but he just didn't go back. He followed Zhao'er in and out, and attacked her.
During the period, both the people who came to help and the people who came for the wedding were joking that the couple had a good relationship. They also told Mr. Xue and Mrs. Zhao that it would be a blessing to marry a daughter-in-law this year and a granddaughter-in-law next year.
Mr. Xue's heart was full of five flavors, but he smiled on his face.
Jiang Wu also came to help today. When he saw this scene, he didn't feel much in his heart, and the gloom on his face was clearly visible.
Gao Sheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he pulled him aside and no one spoke: "If you want to be friends with Sister Zhao'er, just keep going like this, don't blame me for not reminding you!"
After saying this, Gao Sheng hurriedly went to serve the dishes.
The whip has struck, it's time to start.
The deafening sound of firecrackers, the courtyard was filled with people, and everyone was smiling. Jiang Wu woke up from a dream and raised his head to look around—
In the crowd, Zhao'er and Xue Tingxiang stood side by side.
Zhao'er covered her ears with a smile on her face, and Xue Tingxiang also had a smile on her face.
Maybe he should have figured it out.
