The Bookish Scholar of the Red Mansion

After the Xue family's banquet, three days passed before Baoqin was escorted by his servants to the back hall of the academy. Master Xie had heard about this from Pei Huaizhen before, and when Baoqin walked into the hall, he took her to introduce it to others.

When Baoqin entered this place for the first time, he was still a little uneasy. Although she is often taken around by her father, her closest relatives are not around at the moment. It was only when she thought that Xue Biao was reading in the front hall that she felt a little more at ease.

Teacher Xie's class was easy to understand, although Baoqin missed the previous Book of Songs and half of the Songs of Chu. However, the Tang poetry and Song lyrics currently published also have different approaches but the same purpose.

Xue Ai himself liked reading, and he also personally taught Xue Biao and Bao Qin's enlightenment. Xue Ai can follow her children wherever they go, except for studying, which is very strict.

Xue Ai's hard teaching made Xue Baoqin sound less strenuous at this moment.

What's more, Master Xie likes to talk about the beauty of poetry, and then mix in some allusions and knowledge from historical books.

Xue Baoqin's thoughts inevitably followed Master Xie's gentle tone, traveling through time and space to the beautiful scenery of the world.

This Leyi Academy is really a good place to go.

It is neither like the rumored female master who rigidly teaches people to read the Four Books of Women. It's not like dad, who tells a good story in a boring way.

In fact, Xue Baoqin didn't know that it would be a few years later. Teacher Xie will also teach them the Four Books for Women and the Classic of Filial Piety, but he feels that since they are young now, firstly, they need to cultivate their interest in reading, and secondly, at this age, the words and deeds of their parents are more important.

Master Xie naturally understands the principle of doing things in a hurry.

That's why she prefers some interesting intellectual allusions, just to make these children like reading and experience the benefits of poetry. The road of life is so long, how can we go far by relying on principles alone?

After the morning class, Baoqin sat in her seat and did not dare to move. She is very unfamiliar with other people, and is afraid that she will say something wrong and cause trouble for others. At this moment, she would rather sit still and act like a wooden girl.

But by chance, someone came to her place and smiled at her: Sister Xue, do you want to come and play with us?

Baoqin raised his head and saw that the person who came had a very dignified appearance and was much taller than himself. He didn't know what to call him for a moment.

My surname is Wei, which is a surname Shu. If the Xue family sister is willing, just call me Sister Wei.

Baoqin quickly stood up and said Sister Wei. The two talked about the years before Wei Shu turned around and waved to the two people in the distance, Auntie, Sister Lin. Come on, we have an extra sister now.

The two people in the distance came up with a smile. Lin Daiyu said frankly, When sister Xue family first came here, I thought we were about the same age, so I didn't dare to come up and call each other rashly. I had to ask sister Shu to come over and be a pioneer general first. My sister, please don’t be offended.”

Baoqin suddenly realized that this was what Sister Wei Shu had come to do. This Sister Lin had just the right idea.

If Sister Lin is willing, why not just call me Sister Baoqin. Xue Baoqin's personality is quite similar to that of her brother, and he is equally generous. Seeing that Sister Lin was interested in helping him integrate into the school, he also took the initiative to help him change his title.

What about me? What about me? Wei Qijun poked her head excitedly. Her appearance was more like Wei Yinghong's, with a square face and big eyes, which made people feel decent just by looking at her.

Should I follow Sister Wei Shu and call her aunt? Bao Qin hesitated. Fortunately, Lin Daiyu came to her rescue in time, Just follow me and call her Sister Qijun. We can't let her take advantage of her and get a few more nieces for nothing, and she doesn't give us lucky money during the holidays.

I want daddy to give it to me too. Wei Qijun muttered.

Baoqin smiled and called Sister Qijun lightly, which made Wei Qijun beam with joy. The four of them sat together and chatted together.

Through their stories, Xue Baoqin learned that long before she entered the school, Xue Biao had entrusted Chen Heng to send a message asking Sister Lin to take good care of her sister.

Is Sister Lin's brother also studying in the academy? Xue Baoqin was surprised and happy, secretly thinking what a coincidence. The two pairs of brothers and sisters both study together and are good friends.

Isn't that right? Wei Qijun clapped his hands and smiled, Sister Lin's brother is very knowledgeable. Many of the questions I asked him were clearer and clearer than Master Xie's.

Good sister, please say less. Lin Daiyu couldn't help but put her hand between Wei Qijun's eyebrows, and hurriedly explained to the astonished Baoqin.

I found a book called Nine Chapters of Arithmetic before. Master Xie was not good at it, so I asked my brother to ask. When it comes to knowledge of poetry, calligraphy and painting, my brother is far inferior to Master Xie.

Lin Daiyu was worried that Wei Qijun's words would bring unnecessary criticism to her brother, so she explained so hastily.

Xue Baoqin nodded. Thinking of her brother's comments about some of her classmates, her heart suddenly moved, Sister Lin's brother, his surname is Chen, and his last name is Heng?

Lin Daiyu was a little surprised that Xue Baoqin could guess that Xue Baoqin knew Chen Heng. As early as in the previous letter, Chen Heng had mentioned that Xue Biao invited them to visit his home.

It's my brother. Lin Daiyu smiled and nodded.

A few days ago, my brother invited them to our house as guests. He also told me that the Chen family's brother is the best among his classmates in knowledge. Bao Qin still wanted to explain.

So, has Sister Baoqin seen him? What does Sister Lin's brother look like? The young Wei Qijun was just curious, wondering whether this man who knew everything would have three heads and six arms like in the play, and could fight The Dragon Kings of the Ten Seas are so powerful.

Lin Daiyu also fell silent. For several months, she and Chen Heng only discussed knowledge in letters. I have never seen him before, so I am naturally a little curious.

In front of his sister, it's hard to say that his brother is wearing ordinary clothes. Xue Baoqin turned his head and thought about it, then picked up Xue Ai's compliments and said.

Neither white nor black. Chen Heng had not gone to the fields for two months and had regained his skin color in the academy.

The eyes are very bright and the bearing is extraordinary.

Xue Baoqin tried hard to think of vocabulary. In fact, Xue Yao's original words were: Among Xue's classmates, only Chen Heng has a neither humble nor overbearing manner, and is leisurely and contented. He will be a promising person in the future.

But those were the words of the elders commenting on the younger ones. How could she copy them exactly as they were?

Lin Daiyu smiled and blinked, but continued not to speak. I just remembered the back figure in the blue shirt when we first met in Tirenkan. The image of his brother in his heart was pieced together bit by bit through sister Baoqin's description.

Just because she didn't know what she was thinking of, Lin Daiyu suddenly showed a strange smile.

Wei Qijun was not from their family, so he naturally said without scruples: What a pity, why doesn't he look like a three-headed and six-armed man? If you put it like this, he would be like a goose.

Ouch. Wei Qijun screamed strangely and ducked away, Sister Lin, why are you scratching people's flesh again? Okay, okay, your brother's looks like a crane, a white and black crane.

Lin Daiyu is willing to accept it.

Wei Shu and Bao Qin watched the two of them play around for a while. Baoqin waited until they were tired of playing, then asked how she should give the cakes entrusted to her by her mother to Xue Biao.

What's so difficult about this? Wei Qijun came up eagerly and took Daiyu's little hand, Sister Lin, let's go release the crane right now.

Good sister, please let go. My sister is wrong. You can't tickle my flesh anymore.

…………

After dinner at noon, Chen Heng hid in the house and read a book. He usually only goes to the Tiren Hall to post messages in the evening, and he doesn't predict what will happen in the back hall.

But Chen Heng didn't know about Daiyu hanging the paper crane. There were many people in this room who could jump and fly. Jiang Yuanbai and Qian Dayou came back sweating from playing somewhere, and shouted as they came in.

Brother Heng, Brother Heng. There is another paper crane on the tree. Go and see what questions your sister has to test us.

Brother Jiang wants to do arithmetic problems again? Chen Heng put down his book and looked at Jiang Yuanbai, who was drinking heavily.

I don't want to do it. Qian Dayou shook his head fearfully, This question is getting more and more difficult. There are some things that even gold masters haven't taught me. I don't know how you learned it, Brother Heng.

Chen Heng couldn't help but secretly thought, if you had gone to high school, you would naturally be able to do it.

After getting up and walking out of the dormitory, Chen Heng found the letter in the Tiren Hall. After reading the content, he returned to everyone with a smile and grabbed Xue Biao who was about to go out.

Your sister asked someone to send a message, asking you to go to the wooden fence in the back hall to get pastries in the evening.

When Xue Biao heard this, he immediately came back to his senses and knew how the news got into Chen Heng's hands. He hurriedly smiled at the other party and said: It seems that I will trouble Brother Heng in the future.

It's easy to talk about. If you remember any good books in the future, just pass them on to me for a look. Chen Heng waved his hand. It was just a matter of effort, not a trouble.

Just as Xue Biao was about to continue speaking, Chen Heng had already turned around and came to Xin Suzhao, Brother Xin, I might be able to help you out today by sending me out of the city again.

Xin Suzhao was half leaning on the bed, eating fruit he got from nowhere, Going to see your second uncle again?

Exactly, I'm going to cause trouble to Brother Xin. Chen Heng couldn't help it. He was too young and it would be better to go to a library in the city during the day. If you want to leave the city, the master in the academy will never allow you.

Only with the company of Xin Suzhao, who was strong and good at martial arts, could he take advantage of the night's rest to go out to the city gate.

When Xue Biao saw Chen Heng talking to Xin Suzhao, he stopped talking and went out on his own.

The two of them didn't know why, but they couldn't deal with each other. But it didn't hinder Qian Dayou and others from getting along with them. The classmates could only let it go and pretend that they didn't know anything about it.

One afternoon later.

Xue Zhu came to the wooden fence alone. Before waiting long, he saw two figures walking slowly in the distance. Xue Biao did not dare to be rude and immediately turned his back. It wasn't until Baoqin's voice came that he turned around again.

Brother, this is Sister Lin. I'm new to the school and I'm not familiar with the road. Sister Lin just led me for a while. Speaking of which, she's the sister of Brother Chen. Baoqin carried the food box and walked across the wooden fence. Talking to her brother was a bit novel and fun for her.

My sister from the Laolin family will take care of my roommate. Xue Biao hurriedly saluted. After Lin Daiyu returned the gift, he smiled and said, If I had known you were coming, I should have brought Brother Heng here too.

Lin Daiyu shook her head and laughed, not surprised and said, Brother Xue family may not have thought about it. My brother may have thought of this and left with an excuse.

Xue Biao then thought about it, and it was the same reason. After all, Chen Heng and his sister are not biological siblings. It's better for him and Bao Qin to meet whenever they want, and no one else can say anything wrong.

However, he was also a little surprised that he didn't understand Chen Heng's thoughts before Sister Lin.

Sister Baoqin, just talk to your brother, I'll wait for you. Come find me when you're ready.

Lin Daiyu left a word, then turned and walked to the corner of the back hall. She happened to be in a position where she could see the peach trees in the distance just by looking away.

The evening breeze blew slowly, and pairs of paper cranes danced wildly. Looking at them, I thought of sister Baoqin’s words describing Chen Heng. Lin Daiyu herself also smiled and said: Not white, not black, bright eyes, extraordinary bearing. The more Sister Qijun talks about it, the more she looks like a crane.

Baoqin knew that Daiyu was waiting for her, and after only chatting a few words with Xue Biao, she immediately came over to find her sister Lin. As soon as I came over, I saw Daiyu laughing alone, and I couldn't help but wonder: Did Sister Lin think of something funny?

Lin Daiyu took her hand and said with a smile: I just suddenly thought of King Luo Bin's chanting of geese, and then I remembered that Sister Qi Jun said that my brother's song looked like a crane. I thought it was very interesting, so I wrote a poem.

Baoqin blinked, wanting to see how this sister led poetry to Bixiao.

Lin Daiyu's gaze crossed Baoqin and landed on the paper crane in the wind. She chanted softly: Crane, crane, crane, a guest among the falling blue clouds. Just add some white space to your eyes, and your posture will be calm.

Baoqin couldn't help but clap her hands while listening to Daiyu's poem. He knew that the other person's poem was meant to make fun of his brother. I also remembered the way Chen Heng stood in front of his classmates and saluted his parents when he first met him. He also smiled and said: Sister Lin's writing is so good. After reading it, and thinking about the appearance of brother Chen, it is really apt.

Lin Daiyu shook her head and laughed. Although she was very talented in poetry, she still liked the Four Books and Five Classics more.

The two held hands and walked for a while. Xue Baoqin suddenly stopped and said, Sister Lin, listening to your poem, I couldn't help but think of one just now. Can I read it to you?

The two had the same temperament and hit it off immediately, and the relationship between Chen Heng and Xue Biao was the foundation. Lin Daiyu had a reason not to agree, and shook Baoqin's hand, Sister, don't hide your secrets, why don't you read it quickly?

Xue Baoqin was not a shy person. He only paused slightly and then chanted: You should laugh at the lovers in the dust, but we haven't met each other before we even brushed our clothes. The sound is heard to be nine miles away, and it is returning to its place in the clouds.

Lin Daiyu's eyes lit up and she looked at Baoqin with a look of embarrassment, half of her face turned red.

Sister Lin always watches what I do.

My sister wrote so well. I only hate that I am not a man.

This can be considered two-in-one, forget it, forget it. Asking for votes, I asked for votes confidently on Monday. Book friends, don’t forget this seedling like me. The storm cries.
