Chapter 39 Stealing Books
After Fei Hong left, Xu Jin looked around the study room and found that the only place suitable for writing was the desk in front of the bookshelf, but that position was obviously where Fei Hong usually sat, so it was a bit inappropriate to sit on it by himself.
Xu Jin struggled for a moment, and finally sat behind the case. After all, it was Lao Fei who asked him to write the article here. There must be a place to write!
Xu Jin's mind is full of modern people's thoughts. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid Fei Hong wouldn't dare to sit down even if he told him to do so. There is a distinction between superiority and inferiority, and there should be order between elders and younger ones. This is the value of ancient people, how to behave and do things.
Remember not to overstep your identity.
Before Fei Hong had confiscated the pen and ink he had used for writing, Xu Jin added a small amount of water to the Duan inkstone, then picked up the valuable Hui ink inkstone and started grinding it, silently organizing the words in his mind.
The people are enough, who is the king?
This title determines that the content of the article must be about state governance. Perhaps because of the feeling he had just shared with Fei Hongkan, Xu Jin's thoughts are flowing freely at this moment. To use a classic saying, he can't stop talking about his thoughts!
"Since the people below are rich, the king should be rich above!"
Xu Jin wrote the first sentence and successfully solved the problem!
The second sentence carries the title: The wealth of the emperor is hidden in the people. Since the people are rich, how can the emperor be alone in poverty?
The third sentence begins: If you express the meaning of the unity of the monarch and the people in order to express your condolences to the duke, you can also say that the monarch has given you more gifts, but the use is not enough: if you want to satisfy the use, you must first satisfy the people?
After writing this, Xu Jin went back and read it carefully, feeling quite satisfied, and then continued writing...
…
It was approaching noon, and the winter sunshine was warm. Fei Ruyi was wearing a light pink skirt and a velvet white fur on her upper body. She was standing under a blooming red plum in the courtyard, looking up at a plum blossom on the tree.
She is in a state of trance, with bright eyes and white teeth, snow-skinned cheeks, and a tree of red plums, making her features even more picturesque.
The maid came into the painting and stood quietly not far away. The girl sometimes likes to be alone in a daze, so she is used to it, especially after Master Qianyue was kidnapped and brutally killed by thieves.
At this time, Fei Ruyi suddenly sighed softly and chanted: "The flowers in the forest withered the spring red, it was too hasty. Helplessly, the cold rain came in the morning, and the wind came in the evening. The tears of rouge, lingering and drunkenness, how long will it happen again? Of course, life grows with hatred, water
Changdong."
Listening to the helplessness and melancholy in the young lady's tone, the maid couldn't help but have a sour nose as she entered the painting. Although the young lady was born into a wealthy family, she was actually a poor person. She lost her mother when she was a child and was still angry with her concubine. The master just left.
Even more helpless.
"Girl, let's go back to the house. I caught a cold again!" Ru Hua stepped forward and tightened her Qingqiu for Fei Ruyi.
Fei Ruyi nodded and was about to turn around and leave when her cousin Fei Xiaoyu ran in like a red cloud and shouted: "Third sister, I finally found you!" After saying that, she took Fei Ruyi's hand and left.
Fei Ruyi accidentally fell down and said angrily: "Fifth sister, you are so frizzy, what do you want to do?"
"Third sister, you have to do me a favor!" Fei Xiaoyu pulled Fei Ruyi and said hurriedly without stopping.
The maid entered the painting and couldn't help but remind her: "Fifth girl, be careful of throwing my girl!"
Fei Xiaoyu slowed down after hearing this, and Fei Ruyi took the opportunity to pull her hand back and asked doubtfully: "Fifth sister, you want to sneak out of the house disguised as a man again? I won't help you hide it this time!"
Fei Xiaoyu said with a smile: "No, it's freezing cold, so people don't want to go out!"
"Then what do you want to do?" Fei Ruyi knew her cousin's temperament very well, and she had a very wild temper.
Fei Xiaoyu grabbed Fei Ruyi's hand and said coquettishly: "Good third sister, there is a copy of "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in dad's study. I read half of it last time and dad found out that he had taken it back. Can you help me get it?"
Fei Ruyi couldn't help but frown.
The Fei family is a scholarly family, and even the ladies and maids in the mansion are literate in Chinese and Chinese. "Women's Training", "The Book of Filial Piety", "The Story of Martyrs", etc. are must-reads. The Four Books and Five Classics, poetry collections and the like are also allowed.
However, miscellaneous books such as novels are not allowed.
However, compared to those boring scriptures, vivid and interesting novels are obviously more attractive, so the female relatives in the back house will secretly read them, especially the ones about gods, monsters, and love between men and women are the most popular.
Fei Xiaoyu's favorite is the romance novel about fighting and killing. Previously, she found a "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms" written by his predecessor Luo Ben in Fei Hong's collection. The girl couldn't stop after reading it, but Fei Hong found out that he was ruthless.
He scolded her severely and forbade her from entering his study again.
"Fifth sister, uncle won't let you read this kind of miscellaneous books, so forget it!" Fei Ruyi shook her head and said.
"But I just want to watch it. I won't even sleep well if I don't finish watching it. I keep thinking about it. You see, I have dark circles under my eyes and I'm losing weight. Third sister, just help me. You can't bear it.
Is my little sister sick?" Fei Xiaoyu begged pitifully.
Fei Ruyi pinched Fei Xiaoyu's smooth face angrily, and said with a smile: "Look at you, your face is round again and you are still thin!"
"Is there any?" Fei Xiaoyu touched her face with both hands and said to herself: "Impossible, everyone has been on a diet recently. Did you eat the haggis made by Xu Jin that day?"
When she mentioned the haggis that day, Fei Ruyi became a little annoyed, her pretty face turned red and she said, "You still said that!"
Fei Xiaoyu smiled dryly, grabbed Fei Ruyi's hand again, and said pitifully: "Third sister, can you just help me!"
"No, it would be terrible if my uncle knew about it!" Fei Xiaoyu flatly refused.
"I've almost finished reading it. I'll make sure to finish it in two more days, and then I'll put it back secretly. There are so many books in dad's study, and a few missing ones won't be discovered!"
Fei Ruyi still shook her head, and the maid entered the painting and pouted: "Fifth girl, just go and steal it yourself, why do you want my girl to steal it!"
Fei Xiaoyu rolled his eyes vividly: "I wanted to do it myself, but my father has ordered me not to enter the study. Before I could get close, I was stopped by those guys below. It's really annoying!"
Fei Ruyi shook her head and said: "Fifth sister, it's better not to read those miscellaneous books. If you have time, why not practice being a female celebrity!"
"I don't want to be a female celebrity. It's so boring. Third sister, if you don't help me, I'll... I'll just hang around and bother you all day long!" Fei Xiaoyu pulled Fei Ruyi's sleeves and pulled her.
He used his usual trick - cheating!
Fei Ruyi couldn't help but laugh or cry, and said helplessly: "It's just this once, it won't happen next time!"
Fei Xiaoyu immediately beamed, took Fei Ruyi's hand and put it on her face and said coquettishly: "The third sister is the best to me, she is not as unloyal as the fourth sister!"
I dare say that before this girl came to Fei Ruyi, she had already approached the fourth sister Fei Jixiang, but was rejected.
The maid looked at the painting and shook her head secretly, her girl is too kind and easy to be soft-hearted!
Fei Xiaoyu pulled Fei Ruyi to the east courtyard and whispered: "I asked just now. Dad is waiting for guests in the front hall. I will send Hongying away in a while. You sneaked into the study to look for books. You were discovered.
It doesn’t matter, just say you’re here to get “The Legend of the Martyr Woman”!”
Fei Ruyi said angrily: "I know, and I still need you to teach me!"
When the two girls came outside Fei Hong's study, Fei Xiaoyu peeked around furtively and said happily: "Great, that bitch Hongying is not around, hurry up!"
Fei Ruyi nodded, walked quietly to the door of the study, opened the door slightly and walked in. She was obviously a little nervous. The beads hanging on her hair fork touched the door and made a crisp sound.
Fei Ruyi stopped immediately, glanced left and right, and found that no one was disturbed. Then she patted her chest and carefully closed the door.
Fei Ruyi turned around Pingfeng softly and saw that there was really no one in the room, so she hurriedly walked to the case and was about to go to the bookshelf behind the case to look for books when she suddenly found a piece of white paper placed on the case.
, it is full of words, and the tall and straight regular script written by hand is eye-catching.
"Eh!" Fei Ruyi exclaimed, this handwriting was not his uncle's.
Fei Ruyi subconsciously picked it up and looked at it carefully, and said softly: "The people are rich, but the king is not enough? The people are rich below, and the king is rich above..."
Fei Ruyi couldn't help but her eyes lit up. Her talent was no weaker than that of the Fei brothers. If she were a man, it would be easy to become a scholar. Naturally, she could tell at a glance that this eight-part essay was of high quality.
"Hey, I haven't finished writing yet, the ink hasn't dried yet..." Fei Ruyi suddenly realized something and turned around in panic.
At this time, Xu Jin, who was bending down to hide under the case, was secretly complaining. He had accidentally dropped the paperweight and was bending down to pick it up when he suddenly heard a sound on the door. He thought Fei Hong was back, but soon
I soon noticed something was wrong, because the person who entered was very cautious and seemed to be deliberately not making any noise, which seemed a bit sneaky.
Xu Jin thought there was a thief, or that a servant wanted to come in and steal something, and was hesitating whether to give a warning sound, or simply wait for the other party to catch the thief and take the stolen goods. At this time, the man quickly walked around Pingfeng and directly
When he came to the bookcase, he obviously had a clear goal, but it was difficult for Xu Jin to show up at this time.
Unexpectedly, the thief did not steal anything when he came to the case. Instead, he picked up his article and read it softly. The voice was clear, pleasant, and a little familiar.
Xu Jin's heart skipped a beat, this was terrible, it was probably one of the three ladies from the Fei family.
It would be fine if Xu Jin had been sitting upright, but now he hid under the case, which made him look a bit insignificant. Should he show up or not?
While Xu Jin was struggling, Fei Ruyi obviously didn't notice anyone in the study, so he breathed a sigh of relief and went around the desk to look for books on the bookshelf.
So...
Suddenly seeing someone hiding under the desk, Fei Ruyi screamed in fright and fell to the ground, making gorgeous eye contact with Xu Jin.
Xu Jin held the town in his hand, sat up straight in embarrassment, and said, "Miss Fei, I'm sorry, I scared you by picking up the town!"
Fei Ruyi recognized Xu Jin at this moment, and her pale and pretty face suddenly turned red, and she said with a smile: "You...you...you!"
Xu Jin quickly stood up and helped Fei Ruyi up, saying apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it!"
Fei Ruyi's face turned redder, as if on fire. The red glow spread all the way to her neck, and her head went blank. She didn't react until she was helped up by Xu Jin, covered her face and ran out of the study quickly?
