In the evening, Li Jin went back to finish copying the book, and continued to do the most basic exercises of calligraphy with raw edged paper.
The boy came over and saw that he was doing the simplest exercise, and was slightly surprised.
Li Jin put down his pen, turned his head to look over, and asked, "What's wrong?"
The teenager smiled slightly, and the cinnabar mole on his eyebrows was particularly beautiful under the candlelight.
He said: "When my brothers were studying before, my husband also asked them to practice the most basic horizontal and vertical.
Before, I saw A Jin writes only in red without practicing. I wanted to tell A Jin about this, but I never found a chance."
After a pause, the boy continued: "Ajin is already consolidating his writing, but I don't need to say anything."
Li Jin thought that what he was talking about should be the original owner, so he didn't give him the opportunity to make comments.
Li Jin asked, "Can you also write?"
Now he has recalled most of the original owner's memories, and he is not worried about revealing anything.
It's just that the original owner's memory related to the boy is pitiful. Li Jin only knows that the boy was bought by himself, but he doesn't know much about the boy's life experience.
Qin Muwen lowered his eyes and said, "I know a little bit, but my brother's calligraphy is useless, so I don't learn much."
Li Jin smiled and said, "Why is it useless? If our family makes money in the future, you will have to record the purchase. When I have practiced writing, I can teach you."
The boy's eyes were wide open, looking at Li Jin, even his father said that it was useless for his brother to learn Chinese.
It's better to learn piano art and play for your husband.
But his family husband now tells him honestly that he can learn the calligraphy and will have to be a steward in the future.
Li Jin was pleased by his reaction and said with a smile: "Originally, I could teach you to continue learning Chinese when I was free, but I am still in the groping stage, so I don't intend to mislead my children.
When I practice better, I will have confidence to teach you."
As for the life experience, Li Jin didn't go into details either.
Even if he was born in a rich family before as a teenager, he can now fall to this point, which proves that the family is gone.
Asking it again is tantamount to tearing open the scarred wound alive again. It hurts too much.
So Li Jin did not continue this topic.
When the teenager puts everything down and is willing to take the initiative to tell him, then it will be natural.
Then the boy sat on the bed and coaxed the bun to sleep. After Li Jin practiced ten characters, turned off the lights, he washed in the yard, and fell asleep with the sound of cicadas.
On the second day, everything after waking up in the morning had made the two of them have a tacit understanding.
The teenager cooked porridge, baked potatoes, and mixed a bowl of wild vegetables.
After Li Jin fed the child, washed and cleaned up the basket.
In fact, after the next drug sale, he can save money to buy a bookcase. Just like the one seen on TV, scholars usually memorize one when they rush for the exam.
It is usually made of wicker, with pens, inks, papers, inkstones, changing clothes and so on.
Now I don’t need it much, but when I rush to the county exam in February next year, I have to travel far to the county. It’s much more convenient to carry a bookcase than a basket. You can put different things into different categories.
In addition, there are awnings on the top of the bookcase to prevent the contents from getting wet.
It's just that the book box cannot be brought into the examination room, only the simple book basket can be brought into the examination room.
Li Jin still arrived earlier on this day. Yesterday, Mr. Song gave him three scriptures, and Mr. Song gave him only one.
Li Jin has the final say, the "Four Books" is about 40,000 to 50,000 words, and the "Five Classics" can be a little more.
But each book is about 10,000 words.
Yesterday, Mr. Song gave Li Jin only one-third of a book, which was actually only about 3,000 words.
That's why he could finish the copy in one night.
Li Jin thought that the speed of his copying of the book was about 3,000 words in an hour. The book yesterday was copied a little more than an hour, and he was quite satisfied with this speed.
It will take at least a month until the "Four Books" and "Five Classics" have been copied.
Thinking about it this way, it is really not easy for the ancients to take exams. Only the most basic children's exams required memorization of the "Four Books" and "Five Classics". In addition, there are also "Shenzhen Guangxun" and so on.
Before Mr. Song came to arrange today's content, Li Jinti began to write silently about what he had excerpted yesterday.
He didn't deliberately recite it yesterday, but it is an adult's thinking after all. He looks at things and focuses on understanding. After understanding part of it, it is much easier to memorize it.
Li Jin wrote that about a quarter of the time, Chen Xiran came.
As soon as he came in, he staged several troupes of'Ao Ao Ao'.
"Brother Li Xian, can you write the book you just got yesterday?"
Li Jin smiled bitterly: "No, I just tried to write silently, I don't remember that I am so familiar yet."
Chen Xiran had also learned this book before. He has a good memory, and he roughly scanned what Li Jin had written.
"You didn't make a mistake when you tried to write silently! I thought that my memory was born to read books, but today I found out that there was someone outside of the world. Brother Li Xian laughed."
Mr. Song came a bit late today, his face was stinky, and he didn't know what happened.
In ancient times, Mr.'s power was great. He was angry and might say that today's course was cancelled.
But Mr. Song obviously had better self-cultivation. He took out two books, one for Chen Xiran, and the other was exactly the commentary on the Scriptures copied by Li Jin yesterday. He gave this to Li Jin.
"Chen Xiran, you go to read by the window, Li Jin, you copy first."
The two replied together, "Yes."
Mr. Song can be regarded as teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. He knows that Chen Xiran has a good memory, and that Chen Xiran has money at home and a pile of books in the study.Do not let him continue to copy, let him go and read.
The book Li Jin has is relatively thin, and can probably be copied in the morning.
However, this is fortunately that Li Jin knows the actual situation of his family and has no desire to compare.
Otherwise, he would definitely feel that the husband allowed himself to copy the book, and only let Chen Xiran endorse the book, which was simply too different.
After Mr. Song left, Li Jin spent half an hour silently writing the rest. Among them, he knew the shape of a few rare characters, but he couldn't write them out.
Then Li Jin began to copy the annotations, and the book is still in two fonts.
It seems that Mr. Song's teacher is very good and gave him all the books he collected.
When Li Jin saw the back, he even found that Mr. Song drew a circle next to the few rare words he didn't know, and then wrote a lot of explanations.
It seems that the ancients did not know how to write rare words at a glance.
However, it is also convenient for him to understand and remember.
Before noon today, the classroom next door had already dispersed, and Mr. Song's face was still dark and terrible when he entered the study.
He didn't even say anything, and directly asked Chen Xiran to recite the morning book.
Then I tortured Li Jin a few more questions.
Fortunately, neither of them was lazy, and they all answered, and Mr. Song's face looked better.
After that, Mr. Song assigned homework to the two of them, and they left directly.
After leaving the house, Chen Xiran winked at Li Jin and said, "I know why my husband is in a bad mood today."
Li Jin: "Oh."
Chen Xiran said, "Don't you want to know?"
Li Jin: "I don't want to."
Chen Xiran's words were stuck in her throat: "You are really boring, forget it, let me tell you.
The husband's mother passed away a few days ago. As a result, just after the past three years, in order to please her husband, the people in their village actually gave a daughter of Huanghua to her husband's father."
Chen Xiran continued: "Can you say that your husband's face can't be dark? Then you have to call a girl who is a round younger than him a mother."
Li Jin frowned: "Mr. won't agree to this matter." Although it was his father who married his successor, it is clear that Song Yuan is the promising person now. His father should ask his son for advice.
Chen Xiran said: "Of course I don't agree. To be honest, my husband's father didn't agree, but the family insisted that the father had tarnished the innocence of other girls..."
This is really unclear after jumping into the Yellow River.
Chen Xiran said: "The old man is definitely not confused if he can cultivate a talent. If he does this, his husband will also be expelled from his fame.
In my opinion, someone must have deliberately framed Mr."
Based on the contact with Mr. Song during these days, Li Jin also feels that Mr. Song is honest and credible.His father wouldn't be too old to see someone who could be his granddaughter.
So, what is the purpose of these people?
Chen Xiran sneered: "My father has already followed to investigate. Don't worry, he will be innocent.
Think about it, we are going to participate in the imperial examination soon. If the husband gets rid of fame, where can we find another talent to guarantee?"
The quota of each talent guarantor is limited.
There are only three talents in Shili Baxiang, the other two Li Jin are not familiar with, not to mention whether these talents are willing to guarantee Li Jin.
It's a question just to say whether they have any other guarantees.
Li Jin then became serious: "So, according to Brother Chen, the ultimate goal of these people is the two of us?"
is this necessary?
Chen Xiran said ashamed: "I learned about Li Xian's reputation yesterday. Those people shouldn't worry about you being admitted to the talents. They worry about me."
Although the town is small, there is still competition.
If a guarantor of a talented talent is also admitted to the talented talent, the court will also reward the sponsored talent.
In this way, Mr. Song's reputation can suppress the other two talents.
Li Jin thought, this intrigue is even more exciting than a script.
Earlier he had heard that someone gave laxatives to the children in the same exam to prevent them from taking the exam. This happened directly beside him, and he would have to be more mindful in the future.
But why is Chen Xiran so confident that the black hand behind the scenes is worried that he will be admitted as a talent?
Chen Xiran seemed to know what Li Jin was wondering about. He said: "Brother Li Xian really doesn't care about the gossip in the town, because I am a high-profile person. When our family first moved in, I said that I would definitely be admitted as a talent... "
Li Jin was silent.
Sure enough, pretending to be struck by lightning, this is an eternal truth.
Li Jin said: "If your husband needs our help, I will be there on call."
Chen Xiran said: "Don't worry, Li Xian, I won't hurt you!"
