The Bookish Scholar of the Red Mansion

On the third day after Chen Heng returned to Shanxi Village, two official servants, accompanied by Li Zheng, knocked on the door of Qisuo's house. Of course they didn't come here to catch Qisuo and his mother, they just told them: Chen Sande has decided to be the Queen of Autumn, and they can go to the county prison to see them for the last time.

They were only halfway through talking when they were kicked out by Qisuo Niang. It's not fun to get official duties, and it's not easy to meet village women. He simply went home directly. But the news still spread in Shanxi Village.

The villagers soon learned what Chen Sande and Chen Huaijin had done. Some people applauded Chen Sande's fate, saying that he had made some money in the county but looked down on his own mother-in-law. God would punish such a person. Some people feel sorry for Qisuo's mother. She is widowed at a young age and has a child. How will she live her life in the future?

Chen Heng was a little worried about Qisuo. As one of the few playmates between them, he didn't know what Qisuo would do in such a situation. Chen Heng waited for another day before going out to look for Qisuo.

When Chen Heng found him, Qisuo was hiding beside the paddy field. Seeing the small figure huddled up, Chen Heng walked to sit next to him. Qisuo was startled at first, and then he lowered his guard slightly when he saw that it was Chen Heng.

Second brother, I'm sorry. Qisuo lowered his head, with traces of tears still blurred and wiped off on his dirty face.

What do you have to apologize for? Chen Heng held his shoulder and comforted Qisuo, I've only heard that it's the father's fault if the son doesn't teach. I've never heard that it's the son's fault that it's the father's fault.

Second brother, what do you mean?

I'm such an idiot, Chen Heng cursed in his heart, and then explained: If a child makes a mistake, it's because the elders didn't teach him well. But how can the father's fault be blamed on the child?

But... Mom said it was dad who killed Uncle Chen. Qisuo lowered his head and sobbed, Brother, can we still be friends in the future? Mom said, let me come to play with you less in the future. I don't want to be without you. friend.

Of course, we are not only friends. Chen Heng patted Qisuo's shoulder and consoled him, We are also relatives. It is written in the same family tree. From now on, your children will call me second uncle.

I...I'm afraid you'll look down on me.

Why do you think so?

When they said my father was going to die, I suddenly felt a little happy because I didn't have to be beaten anymore. I was also scared myself, why would I have such thoughts. I didn't want my father to die, but I was also afraid of being beaten.

The more Qisuo talked, the more excited he became. He picked up his hand as if blaming himself and kept hitting himself. What was originally a low sob turned into a howl in an instant.

Chen Heng patted the other party's shoulder and finally persuaded him with some comfort. When Qisuo's mood stabilized, Chen Heng suddenly asked: Qisuo, do you want to study?

If you study, can you take the exam like your second brother?

Even if it doesn't work. Chen Heng couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. He had read Dayong Code in the past few days and knew that if his father committed a crime like Qisuo, even if he was dismissed from the examination, he would most likely fail. Even if you encounter some strict examiners, you will be kicked out directly.

Reading can help you understand the principles of life. Just like the question you just asked, as long as you study hard, you can find the answer.

Really?

Chen Heng nodded seriously and said solemnly: I won't lie to you, as long as you are willing to study hard, you will definitely find the answer you want.

That master...

I told the Master yesterday for you that he will allow you to study in the school for half a month. You have to seize this opportunity, you know? After half a month, if you perform well, I will I will go and tell Master.

Qisuo turned his head and subconsciously looked into Chen Heng's eyes. He was too young to know how to describe it. I just felt that there was a gentle power in those eyes, as if encouraging him to stand up and go on, even if everything was dark in front of him.

I will never let my second brother down.

Why would you let me down? Chen Heng smiled, stood up from the ground, and pulled Qisuo up again. The two walked side by side for a while, and the parting wind blew unknowingly, blowing over the hills and paddy fields, drifting away day by day, and another day was about to pass.

Shanxi Village was still small, so the two of them arrived at the village without walking far.

Is the second brother leaving?

Yeah, I'll leave the day after tomorrow.

Where are you going, second brother?

Yangzhou.

...

Dad, dad!

A jade-like figure broke into the study. Lin Ruhai, who was looking at the official documents, had to put down his things and turned around to hug the little man who flew up.

Dad, what do you think of the poem I wrote this time?

The girl blinked her eyebrows. She had a good-looking appearance, her nose was more like Lin Ruhai's, and her face was more like Jia's. Only these eyes were neither Lin Ruhai's heroic spirit nor Jia's bright and majestic. On the contrary, it is more like the bright moon reflected on the water in the autumn night, with a pool of ripples in the mist.

Okay, okay. Lin Ruhai smiled and picked up her daughter, put her on her lap, took the poem the child had just written, read it casually, and praised: Yu'er, your writing is much better than my father's. ”

Really? The little girl believed it, How does it compare with my aunt's disciples? Am I better, or is he better?

Hahahaha. Lin Ruhai couldn't stop laughing and teasing her daughter, Why do you know how to compete with him?

My aunt said that he is more diligent in studying than his father, and he is as smart as his father. The little girl raised her little hand, clenched it into a fist and waved it in the air, If you let your father compare with him, you will naturally bully the younger one. So Yu'er I want to fight for my father and compete with that boy.

If you really meet him in the future, don't call him boy. Depending on his age, you have to call him brother. Lin Ruhai tapped her daughter's nose, and while they were playing around, another person came in from outside.

Daiyu, didn't mother tell you that you have to stay in your room to take medicine and not run around? Why are you disturbing your father again?

Mrs. Jia held the medicine bowl and walked slowly to her father and daughter.

Seeing that her mother was a little unhappy, Lin Daiyu quickly stood up from Lin Ruhai's arms, bowed slightly, and said confidently: Mom, I didn't come to disturb dad, I came to ask dad for advice.

That's right, that's right. Lin Ruhai laughed, clapped her hands, and started to cheer for her daughter's reasons, Our Yu'er likes to read. This is a good thing. Both father and mother support you.

Jia shook her head helplessly, pulled her daughter in front of her, and started feeding the medicine into her child's mouth bit by bit.

Why don't you find a wife for Yu'er. While supervising Daiyu to drink medicine, Jia looked at Lin Ruhai. She keeps bothering you like this. What's the matter?

I have also considered this matter. Lin Ruhai smiled and nodded, But now that we are asking people to teach at home, I am afraid that we will not be able to find suitable candidates for a while, so we can't hire some scholars or young students.

This was what Tanhua Lang said to him. Most people are afraid of causing public outrage if they speak out. Jia was helpless, What do you mean, do you have an idea?

Well, I just came up with the idea in the past few days, and I just wanted to discuss it with you. Lin Ruhai looked at her curious daughter without showing off, Isn't Master Pei already working in the academy? His wife is also preparing to do so. I'm opening a small school in the academy, and I'm trying to recruit some girls who like to study. I know the master's talent and learning, and what's even more rare is her painting and calligraphy. Even I admire her very much.

Is this...appropriate?

What Jia was thinking about was another point. Nowadays, ladies from wealthy families in the capital are very particular about staying at one door and never leaving the other. At least this has always been the rule of their Jia family.

Today is different from the past. Lin Ruhai frowned without any trace. As a close minister of the emperor, he knew that His Majesty had the idea of ​​​​opening up the folk customs, so of course he had to set an example. It's just that Mr. Jia is not sensitive enough in this area, and he can't say it clearly in front of his children, so he can only say it.

I'm just going to study for a while. There are several small gates in the academy, and the school is also located in the back hall. Yu'er will not see the students when going to and from school in the future. Just let Yu'er go and get to know more playmates, Wei My brother's young daughter and granddaughter will also come together. Didn't the doctor also say that Yu'er's body means she needs to move around more and not be trapped in the house?

Are the prefect's children going too? When Jia heard this, she understood her husband's considerations. He could only nod his head and said, Then let Yu'er study for a while. If she can really persist, we will hire a master to teach her at home.

Okay. Just as Lin Ruhai nodded, the maid's voice came from outside.

Master, madam, the young master just drank the medicine and vomited it again.

I got it. Mrs. Jia held her forehead with a headache, I'm going to see Jue'er, Daiyu, do you want to go with mother to see your brother?

Mom, don't worry. Yu'er will be very sensible. The little girl nodded swornly and answered the question, Go take care of your brother quickly.

Jia had no choice but to point her eyes at Lin Ruhai, who was pretending to be stupid, and then left.

After her mother left, Daiyu immediately grabbed Lin Ruhai's sleeve and said energetically: Dad, please give me a book quickly. I will read it myself. I will never disturb you.

Hahahaha. Lin Ruhai laughed again, Okay, dad knows, dad knows.

PS: It’s not easy, it’s not easy. I finally wrote about Daiyu, hahahahahaha. There was still a little excitement in my heart.
