One good thing about Zhou Gu is that he doesn't give up halfway.
Therefore, although he felt that this crappy painting book was really hard to describe, he still asked Su Rong, "What about the follow-up?"
"Follow up." Su Rong raised the drawing book in his hand, "Just wait a moment."
After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and continued to flip through page after page, which took about as long as a cup of tea. She raised her head and said to Zhou Gu: "The impoverished young master was originally a young master from the Hou family. After he knew that he was attracted to the chivalrous girl,
, saw that she was looking for a new love, and was very unwilling to do so, so he started to rob the chivalrous girl. Because of his noble status, he used his power to forcefully separate the chivalrous girl and his new husband. The new husband was arrested.
After being imprisoned for a crime, the chivalrous woman was so angry that she had a miscarriage. After the miscarriage, she could not recover from her injuries. When she heard that her new husband was going to be beheaded, she found a group of friends in the world to rob the prison and successfully took away his new husband.
After her husband was rescued, she lost her strength and was killed. In grief, the troubled young man cut himself with a sword and died together with her. After both of them died, the chivalrous girl's new husband suddenly changed and turned out to be
When he was the prince, he endured the humiliation and performed a painful trick. He committed himself to marrying a chivalrous woman just to get rid of the prince of the Hou family. Naturally, he later married a new wife and took in several beautiful concubines. "
Zhou Gu: "..."
It is indeed a mess!
He deeply doubted how such a useless thing could have a market.
He saw Su Rong throw away the painting book and pick up another painting book. Finally he couldn't help but asked her, "Do you always read books like this?"
Su Rong nodded, "Yes."
"Has it always been this fast?"
"Oh, yes."
"No one has ever told you that you are reading too fast like this?" Zhou Gu suspected that the story she just retold was inaccurate. He picked up the painting book that he disliked with his fingers, put it in his hand and turned it over, intending to verify it.
.
"Of course someone told me." Su Rong recalled, "My mother said that I swallowed jujube and wasted a good book. It was really unlucky for me to get the book. She felt sorry for the book when she looked at it. My father said that I am a woman without talent.
It’s virtue. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like reading. It’s okay if you can do something about it. Anyway, I don’t need to take the scientific examination. My elder brother said that if I don’t want to read, I don’t have to force myself to read. I can do other things I want to do.
The sound of flipping pages disturbed him while he was reading."
Zhou Gu nodded, looked down at the drawing book she had finished talking about, and quickly flipped through it.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Su Rong stopped talking herself and continued to read the new drawing book in her hand. She was still reading at a very fast speed.
Zhou Gu flipped through it hurriedly and found that what Su Rong told him was exactly the same story. But even though he was hurriedly reading it, it took him half an hour to finish flipping through the painting book. This was still
Su Rong told him the basis of his verification. If he didn't know anything and wanted to read it, he would be able to finish reading this painting book in an hour based on his reading speed.
But he remembered clearly that Su Rong only used about three or four cups of tea.
He looked at Su Rong, extremely surprised, and asked her: "How come you can read so fast?"
"One eye and ten lines, everyone knows it." Su Rong said without raising her head.
Zhou Gu shook his head and said, "I can read ten lines at a time, so my speed is much slower than yours." After saying that, he specifically added, "Even if I swallow the jujube wholeheartedly, I'm still not as fast as you."
Su Rong stopped flipping the book and looked up at him. Seeing his eyes full of surprise, she blinked and said, "Is it because I have good eyesight? At one glance, all the text on the page ran into my eyes."
?”
Zhou Gu put down his drawing notebook and said, "Do you have a photographic memory?"
"That's true, but not entirely."
"How to say?" If it is, it is, and if it is not, it is not. Why isn't it all?
"It depends on what kind of book it is." Su Rong gave him an example, "For example, if a book like a painting book and miscellaneous books is in my hands, I can read ten lines at a time. It can be called the photographic memory you say.
.But for example, I read the boring books in the classics and history collection very slowly."
"How slow?" Consultant Zhou.
Su Rong pointed to the travel book in his hand and said, "For such a thick book, it will take me more than an hour to read it."
Zhou Gu lowered his head and saw that the travel journal he had chosen was twice as thick as the painting book he and Su Rong were looking at just now. He fell silent immediately.
If he were to read this book, under normal circumstances, he would have to read it for half a day.
Seeing that he stopped talking, Su Rong asked him, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Gu was speechless and said to her: "If I read this travelogue, it would take two hours at the fastest."
Su Rong smiled and said, "It's almost the same as my elder brother."
She looked at Zhou Gu and said, "I have never been fond of reading since I was a child, and I also don't like to sit in school and listen to my teacher ramble on about an article for an hour or two."
She was scolded by the eldest lady as a bastard since she was a child. Everyone thought it was because she loved playing and didn't like reading. She just picked up a book and flipped through it, which was a sign of being impatient with reading. She didn't bother to explain. In addition, she had a restless temper when she was a child.
, she couldn't sit properly, always crossed her legs, and she really didn't like going to school. When she first picked up the pen to write, she could write like a dragon and a phoenix. Later, her elder brother couldn't stand it, so he forced her to practice small regular script with beautiful handwriting.
But it's also because I'm afraid that she won't be able to handle the handwriting when writing a letter or a post in the future. As for studying, I won't care about her.
Zhou Gu understood that he and Su Xingze were normal, but she was abnormal. He almost doubted himself just now.
Su Rong was clever. Looking at his expression, he knew that he was afraid of being shocked. He quickly said: "I heard people say that Zhou Gu, the young master of the Duke Protector's Mansion, is very talented and learns things very quickly. Do you think I am a quick reader?
It's just that I do have some talents. For example, Yuewan is very talented in reading picture books and can read five or six books a day. Our kind of reading is just superficial, just swallowing the jujube. You are different from us,
You are not reading a book, you are reading, the kind that you read into your heart. Chewing slowly requires a lot of brainpower and effort, so it doesn’t matter if you read slowly, right?"
No need to look so shocked.
She really felt that reading books quickly was not a good thing, and she was burdened by it. She had a past that she couldn't bear to look back on, and her head exploded when she thought about it.
Zhou Gu was amused and said, "You are quite good at comforting people."
He shook his head, picked up the travel journal, and said to her: "Not everyone has the gift of photographic memory. If you have this gift, if you use it, it will be enough for you to do something good."
Su Rong had only used this talent to read books since he was a child, and asked him: "What can you do?"
Zhou Gudao: "Look at the account books, do arithmetic, and memorize articles."
Su Rong nodded, she was very quick at reading the account books, and her mother no longer needed her to learn how to run a business.
"And..." Zhou Gu suddenly thought of something and became a little excited. He approached Su Rong and lowered his voice and said, "If you come to Beijing someday, I will take you secretly to the palace library.
There are several rare books in the pavilion, can you help me steal them with your eyes?"
Su Rong: "..."
Seeing the excitement on Zhou Gu's face, she whispered, "Isn't this difficult?"
"Of course." Zhou Gu said: "But if you have this ability, I think you can give it a try."
"What rare book makes you miss it so much?"
“There is a military book written by the famous general Zhang Ku three hundred years ago, a book on state governance written by the famous prime minister Wang Sheng four hundred years ago, and a treasure map said to be from the period of Emperor Jingyuan.
No one can crack it yet."
Su Rong: "..."
She looked at Zhou Gu's face, which became more and more excited as he talked, and couldn't help but ask him, "Such a good thing should be well treasured. Are you sure you can take a peek?"
"I have a token that allows me to enter the library in the palace once a month, and I can stay for up to half an hour at a time." Zhou Gu said: "I have read Zhang Yu's letters and Wang Sheng's policy, but the time is too short.
, I can only gulp it down, I can’t hold it in my hand to read, and I can’t take it out of the library, which makes my hands itchy. As for the treasure map, it is hidden in the secret compartment at the top of the library. I have been studying hidden weapons in the past two years.
I think I should be able to crack the secret grid now."
Su Rong: "..."
Zhou Gu looked at her and asked, "I think since you have a photographic memory, half an hour should be enough for you to remember it and come back and write it out for me."
"I can read quickly, but I can't write quickly. Writing is very tiring," Su Rong emphasized.
"It's okay. As long as you have the chance, you can read it ten lines at a time and remember it in your heart. Then read it to me and I will write it." Zhou Gu felt itchy and wished he could drag Su Rong to the library of the palace right now. He suddenly said: "I want to
No, when I return to Beijing, will you follow me into Beijing?"
