Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 491 Golden knot

Master Bai personally escorted the frustrated Bai Erlang to copy the book. Along the way, he told his son earnestly: "I know that copying is very boring. If you write too much, it is not only tiring, but also irritable. People who are irritable can easily make mistakes. The handwriting will be scribbled..."

"But you are going to participate in the imperial examination in the future. Every time you have to write a lot of characters in the imperial examination. After you finish typing the draft, copy it to the paper. Isn't it life-death?"

  Hair Jiro was stunned. For the first time, he knew that he had such a grand goal, so he stunned and asked: "Father, why should I go to the imperial examination? Isn't it a big brother?"

  Master Bai hated iron and steel and looked at him and said: "You are too ambitious. Your eldest brother is going, can't you go?"

Then he talked about his elder brother’s suffering, "You see that your elder brother didn’t leave the study much when he came back for the Chinese New Year. You can’t count on your elder brother to know everything? If you can also be an official candidate, then you will not only be honorable, but also help in the officialdom. Your big brother."

Bai Erlang couldn't help muttering, "As if I and my eldest brother will definitely pass the exam, dad, I think you might as well treat Shanbao and Manbao a little bit better, let them go to the examiner, and then help each other with elder brother. "

Master Bai couldn't help but pat his head: "You are too unambitious. No, just start copying books. You can copy as many books as Shanbao and the others copy. Believe Dad, you will know this when you copy them. It's good."

  He sighed, "Father couldn't copy it back then..."

  Bai Erlang couldn’t help but jump his feet, “Father, you can’t even let me do it!”

Master Bai glanced at him and said: "Yes, when I cried and cried, your grandmother wouldn't let me copy it. This son and your father regretted it a lot, and even blamed your grandmother for spoiling me too much, so So that you will not blame me in the future, I decided to be strict with you."

  Shirajiro:...

  Waiting to the door of the study, Bai Erlang finally organized the language in grief and anger, and shouted: "I will blame you too, I will blame you for being too strict with me!"

  Master Bai stretched out his hand to pat his head. Man Bao just looked up to see it, and said as soon as he saw him: "Master Bai, hitting his head will make you stupid."

  Master Bai just took his hand and changed his shooting to stroking. He squinted his eyes and smiled at Bai Erlang, "You just have to complain, and then you have to grow up to complain. Now you don't count."

  Shirajiro:...

  Master Bai dragged Bai Erlang into the study and smiled at Man Bao: "Man Bao, my uncle is not trying to beat him. Uncle is teaching him. By the way, how are you copying books now?"

  The two generously showed him the manuscript they had copied.

Master Bai looked at it, nodded repeatedly, then looked down at his angry son with a smile, and said softly: "Erlang, you are bigger than Shanbao and Manbao. Both "A Thousand Characters" and "The Analects" The easiest, you have learned it all, so you will be able to copy it well, right?"

  Baijiro still missed the bamboo rat that was not caught on the mountain, but after the old man rolled up his sleeves, he replied aggrievedly: "Yes."

   "Okay," Mr. Bai waved his hand proudly, "You go write, Dad is looking at you in the study."

  Bai Erlang's eyes widened, looked at Bai Shanbao, then at Man Bao, and finally went to his small table and sat down.

  Master Bai walked around in the study with his hands behind his back. He suddenly remembered that he might have not read a book for a long time, so he took a book from the shelf and read it.

  The three children winked behind the desk.

  They all don’t like adults in the study, feeling that there is a stick on the back of their buttocks.

  The three people winked their eyebrows, Master Bai turned out from behind the bookshelf, and the three of them immediately calmed down, lowered their heads to polish the ink, spread the paper...

  Master Bai glanced at them, and was about to find a place to sit down and read a book, only to find that he was sitting motionless in the corner, which shocked him.

  Master Bai stroked his chest, took the book and walked to the opposite side of Daji, and touched a small Mazha to sit down and share the brazier with him.

  He opened the book, took a look at Da Ji, and asked, “Isn’t it boring to sit like this all day?”

  Daji leaned over to Master Bai and smiled slightly: "It's not boring, but when the masters don't stop for a while, I look tired."

  Master Bai nodded and said with a smile: "Reading is like this, just wait for them to pass the exam."

  Daji smiled slightly, this is just a deception from adults to children. I really grow up to get an official exam, and that’s when I’m really busy.

  Daji looked up at the three children who were copying books with their pens in hand, secretly saying that it was a pity, but the three children did not know this.

  Real happiness and relaxation, I am afraid this is the time.

  Children are really relaxed. Although they have to copy books, they don’t copy books all day.

  When you’re tired of copying, you have to go out to play. When you’re tired, you still have to read your own good-looking books, eat your own delicious snacks, and continue to copy books when you feel you have nothing to do.

But just like this, the speed of the three children is getting faster and faster, especially Man Bao and Bai Shanbao. In the end, they no longer need to read the book and copy it. They just copied the entire book silently, and checked it again to make sure that there were no typos. Put it together afterwards.

  Afterwards, Manbao will take it home and bind it up to his sister-in-laws. This is a book.

  And two or three days later, Bai Erlang didn't need to stare at Master Bai, he did discover the benefits of copying books.

  Although I still hate copying books, I am not as bored as before.

  Before the Lantern Festival, the three children only copied out ten books, and Man Bao was not in a hurry. She planned to take out her old books to them as well. After that, she could copy two more copies by herself.

  Waiting for Mr. Zhuang to return from the county town during the Chinese New Year, he could not help being surprised when he saw Lao Zhou leading a bunch of children to the school, even if he had known it in advance from his apprentice.

Mr. Zhuang was only surprised, while the villagers in Qili Village were stunned.

  In the past, when the school opened, the villagers would not come to watch, because in their opinion, this was a very rude behavior, which might make Mr. Zhuang upset.

  But at this moment, I couldn't help it anymore, and they all gathered to watch the excitement not far from the school, and they were so surprised.

   "This old Zhou family picked up gold? How did you send all the children to school?"

  "Is Mr. Zhuang not accepting their home for repairs?"

   "Why? Because of Man Bao?"

   "It's good to have a smart girl."

   "What do you know, the books of the children in the old Zhou family are all copied by treasures, oops, I took a look yesterday, and I did the same."

   "...the book is still fake?"

  "I mean it is the same as the bookstore in the county seat. The old Zhou family did not pick up gold, but gave birth to a golden lump."
