As soon as the two of them walked out of the pavilion, Xiao Qingyu held her maid Rongrong with one hand and held Lu Zhaolin's arm with the other: "Eat the rongdou, it's delicious."
Lu Zhaolin struggled a little but didn't pull away, and his ears were a little red. He was already ten years old, and this little sister came up to him without anyone noticing.
Although he couldn't understand what Xiao Qingyu said, he could figure out the meaning just by looking at the other person's tone and movements, so he whispered: "Thank you, sister."
After saying that, he stuffed the rongdou that Xiao Qingyu had just placed in his palm into his mouth. Then he looked at Xiao Qingyu, his eyes lit up slightly, and he praised in Mandarin with a strong Youzhou accent: "It's delicious."
Xiao Qingyu also couldn't understand what he said, but she could understand what he meant just by looking at his expression. She immediately said proudly: "Yeah, I just said it's delicious. My mother bought this for me! Oh, I
Let me tell you, there are too few things in the markets in Qiantang. We all have them in Luan County, but we don’t have them here. Where is your home? Do you have any hot beans to eat?"
Lu Zhaolin clearly heard the words "home" and "rongdoudou" throughout the whole process, so he replied: "I am the Lu family of Fanyang. My family lives in Fanyang, Youzhou. Now I go to the south of the Yangtze River to study with Master Cao and Master Wang. We are there.
There is no Rongdou to eat, this is the first time I have seen it."
"Oh, you are all so pitiful. Do you have any chocolate over there?" The world of children is very wonderful. Even if they don't understand most of the languages, it doesn't hinder their communication. Maybe they can understand each other's tone and actions.
Molten beans and chocolate are Xiao Qingyu's two favorites.
Lu Zhaolin asked with curiosity: "What is chocolate? What is it used for?"
Xiao Qingyu couldn't understand the other party's words at all this time, but it didn't matter, she had her own rhythm. She grabbed the two little friends, then drove the adult slaves behind her away, and then said: "We
Let’s play hide and seek, you two hide first and I’ll catch you, okay?”
Naturally, Xiao Rongrong nodded fiercely. Lu Zhaolin looked at the little maid squatting in a plum blossom bush in confusion, while Xiao Qingyu had turned around, closed her eyes and started counting "one, two, three".
Even if Lu Zhaolin didn't understand Xiao Qingyu's meaning before, he understood it now. It's just that he was enlightened at the age of four, studied essays and poems at the age of five, and studied hard all day long. He had never played this kind of game with his brothers and sisters at home, and he was a little dazed for a while.
live.
When Xiao Qingyu counted to ten and turned around to look for someone, she found that Lu Zhaolin was still standing there stupidly. Xiao Qingyu immediately clapped her hands and laughed with joy, then grabbed his sleeve and shouted: "I've caught you, I've caught you."
It’s your turn! Hahaha!”
Xiao Qingyu's simple and direct happiness also infected Lu Zhaolin, and he couldn't help but laugh along with her.
He is ten years old this year and is not yet nine years old. He is bound by etiquette and rules and the Four Books and Five Classics on weekdays. Once he has the opportunity to relax, who doesn't like to play.
Soon, the three little guys, each speaking their own language, were playing together, and the Merlin was filled with the joyful laughter of children.
Lin Wanwan, who was warming herself by the fire in the pavilion on the other side, was watching Cao Xian's ink painting attentively, and she was still thinking about how much money she could get and sell it for if this painting was given to her.
Although Cao Xian was a great scholar in philology, his level of painting was not low, because the ancients were very good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting.
But after he finished painting the abstract plum forest, he actually asked Xiao Chong to inscribe the song "Snow Plum" on it. Lin Wanwan was immediately deflated and lamented in her heart that it was over and ruined.
"Xuemei" is a seven-character quatrain written by Lu Meipo, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty. It was still hundreds of years ago. Now it was written by Xiao Chong on Cao Xian's painting in the fourth year of Zhenguan. How can this be brought to modern times? Others
If you take a look at it, you will definitely say it is fake. It is so fake that it doesn’t even have common sense.
After putting aside the stench of copper, Lin Wanwan concentrated on appreciating calligraphy and painting, and finally figured out some insights. How could these two people seem to have been friends for years? Painting and calligraphy complement each other.
Then Cao Xian and Xiao Chong stopped writing and discussed the contents of "Selected Works of Zhaoming".
Regarding this point, Lin Wanwan, although she was considered a good student, could not intervene. After all, she was originally pursuing exam-oriented education, so it was naturally impossible for her to conduct in-depth research on the anthology.
In both the Tang and Song Dynasties, poems and poems were used to select scholars, so the anthology became a must-read model for scholars to learn poems and poems. It would be strange if they were not proficient in it. As long as any knowledge is linked to imperial examinations, examinations, etc., it will inevitably trigger everyone to study it.
The same was true in the Song Dynasty. It was not until Wang Anshi came to power that the selection of scholars based on poetry and prose was abolished and replaced by the New Classics. After that, the status of anthologies gradually dropped from being alongside classics to being outside of textbooks.
Although Lin Wanwan mostly listens and learns, occasionally she can take advantage of standing on the shoulders of historical giants and speak out some novel opinions, which attracts the attention of both the old and the young.
She had a great time chatting with Xiao Chong and Cao Xian in Meiyuan. Xiao Qingyu also had a great time with Lu Zhaolin, a big star who would become famous in the future. She had no idea that the area in the viewing room had already changed because of her.
What I just did was shocking.
Whether it was Lu Ying'er losing the precious necklace she was carrying, or He Miao's horse being frightened by Lin Wanwan's horse and crushing her leg bones, these two incidents are not trivial. If they happened to three families of equal status, it would not matter.
.
But now the He family is a local gentry in Qiantang. It has been established for a long time and is intricately connected. It is full of in-laws and neighbors. The Lu family itself is extremely valuable, and Lu Ying'er's father is the magistrate of Qiantang County.
Although the Xiao family was the top family in Jiangnan and played an important role in the history of the Sui and Tang Dynasties in the Southern Dynasties. When Wu Zetian attacked the five surnames and Qiwang, the sword did not hit the head of the Xiao family in Jiangnan who had a minister in the court. There has always been "Li Tang"
"Half the world is Xiao", Ouyang Xiu even praised the Xiao family as "the prosperity of the family has never been seen in ancient times".
But Lin Wanwan's maternal family is not a direct descendant of the Xiao family. It is just a branch of the Xiao family's imperial uncle's house. It does not live in the Xiao family's hometown of Jinling Wujin. It is not alone in Qiantang? It even needs a branch.
What to rely on, the Lu family.
If the person who did this today was Xiao Yixun, who was from the direct lineage, the result would be different. At most, he would just say a few words about the juniors playing polo, which would inevitably lead to some criticism. But in fact, it was Lin Wanwan and the Xiao family.
The sisters have offended each other.
Therefore, when Xiao Yuan, the eldest daughter-in-law of Xiao's family and grandson, received the news, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue. She couldn't help but complain about the always virtuous Xiao Xianghua.
Xiao Xianghua was also very aggrieved. Although she had learned a lot of rules, she was still a teenage girl and had not yet learned to be servile. People were bullying her, so how could she endure it?
Cousin Wanwan is a guest of their Xiao family. If someone bullies a guest of theirs, how can they not retaliate? Besides, it was He Miao who bumped into her first. If she hadn't avoided it in time with her superb equestrian skills, she would be lying with a broken leg now.
