An ordinary morning in the first year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty.

After waking up, Lin Yanchao already felt much better and less painful. After all, he was only twelve years old, and once he was sick, he regained his vitality faster than anyone else, unlike those adults who were seriously ill. As soon as the sky was bright, the fierce river wind made the broken window paper rattle. The wind blowing into the house diluted the musty smell inside.

Lin Yanchao, who was sick, knew that he couldn't stand the wind, so he put on his clothes, stretched his hands and feet, slowly moved his feet under the bed, touched his toes on the ground, and put on his shoes. The eaves on the opposite side of the alley almost hung down to the front of the house, and the lighting in the house was very poor, Lin Yanchao touched the edge of the table with the faint light. Even though this is the simplest movement, it takes too much effort.

Looking at the house with almost four walls, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but want to say to himself, he couldn't live and give in, every day was a new day, life had to start again, and this qiē had to start again. But when it came to his mouth, Lin Yanchao himself said: "Gou is new, every day is new, and every day is new." ”

After reading it, even I felt incredible, the vernacular automatically turned into ancient Chinese?

Where have you read this? Immediately, a memory came flooding up, and in the second chapter of the university, Tang Zhipan inscribed: 'Gou is new, every day is new, and every day is new. Lin Yanchao had learned this sentence before, of course, in social studies, but he forgot it after reading it once, and when he reread his memory, he saw it more clearly than himself.

"Great." Lin Yanchao couldn't help but stroke his palms, and at the moment he wanted to find a few books to read.

There was a sound of clanging footsteps on the roof, and then the sound of a spittoon or a urinal moving, presumably the eldest lady slept until three o'clock in the sun, and she also got up. It is really uncomfortable to live under the same roof with such a person, and you have to find a way to change your current situation.

Lin Yanchao barely walked a few steps against the wall, and the small room was clear at a glance. The bookcase is in the corner of the west wall. It is also reluctant to say that it is a bookcase, that is, a poplar shelf is placed on the wall, and a few books are placed on it.

Lin Yanchao took the book at random, glanced at the cover of "A Thousand Poems" by Xie Fangde, and turned the pages of the book, and a musty smell of books filled the entire room. My God, it's still an old book with a black mouth and yellow bamboo paper, I'm afraid this is an old book in the Zhengde period, it's a priceless treasure in modern times, and now several places on the book are blackened, stuck together, how to read?

Lin Yanchao could only put down the book of thousands of poems and put it by the window to dry.

Immediately, Lin Yanchao took a copy of "University Yanyi" from the bookcase. The derivation of the university is to expound the meaning of the "University", which can be regarded as a supplementary textbook to the "University" in the Four Books and Five Classics. On the fishtail of the page is the word Lin Ding, which is the name of Lin Yanchao's father. Lin Yanchao's father was a talented man, if he hadn't died in the war, Lin Yanchao's situation in the Lin family would not be so miserable today.

Lin Yanchao opened the book, this "University Yanyi" white cotton paper, is the 46th year of Jiajing's feudal carving. The feudal engraving is the book engraved by the royal feudal palace of the Ming Dynasty, at that time, the feudal engraving was carefully examined, the paper and ink were exquisite, and the engraving was excellent, almost comparable to the carved book of the northern and southern kingdoms, and it was much stronger than the folk family carving and the book of the workshop carving. And there are circled sentences on the book, which is very suitable for Lin Yanchao to read. Lin Yanchao read through the whole book, and whenever he encountered a puzzle about the content, he combined the memories of the previous life and this life, and compared the two to solve it.

Lin Yanchao tried to memorize it silently, and after reciting it two or three times, he memorized the first volume of "University Yanyi".

"I didn't expect that after being reborn, I became a genius of endorsement!"

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but be shocked, and after thinking about it, he guessed that generally speaking, everyone's childhood memory is the best, such as learning languages or something, it is the best at this time. However, children's comprehension is quite poor. For adults, comprehension is strong, but memory is weaker than when they were children. Lin Yanchao is at the age of a twelve-year-old child, but his comprehension is a thirty-year-old adult, so he can memorize books very quickly.

"Seeing that I will set foot on the road of the imperial examination in the future, it is still very promising." Lin Yanchao couldn't help but think so.

Lin Yanchao glanced at the more than 20 books on the bookcase at home, this is the benefit of having a talented father. Although he is gone, the books he read during his lifetime have been left. Otherwise, if you are an ordinary person, even if you are talented, where will you go to study?

Lin Yanchao's reading results were good, and he was complacent for a while, and then took a pen to practice calligraphy, but after writing an article, he found that the words were crooked and twisted, and there was no frame at all. Lin Yanchao was speechless for a moment, he didn't have brush skills in his last life, and it seems that it takes a lot of effort to practice calligraphy in this life. Lin Yanchao was looking at his calligraphy when he heard the sound of the door opening.

But seeing Lin Qianqian, he brought Lin Yanchao a bowl of egg porridge. The faint smell of egg flowers and shallots came.

"Hey, how do you have the money to buy eggs? Could it be that the eldest lady is even? ”

Lin glanced at Lin Yanchao and said, "How is it possible, the eldest lady is the kind of person who eats muckers as salt." It was the third aunt next door who heard that you were in good health, and secretly stuffed me with an egg to make up for your body. ”

Lin Yanchao suddenly snorted at this time, and at the same time snorted: "I just thought that with the stingy nature of the eldest mother, I will never take out eggs and make up for my body at this time." A family that is related by blood is not as good as a neighbor who cares about me and thanks my third aunt for me. ”

"I mentioned you early and thanked the third aunt, quickly put away your books, don't be in good shape, just study, eat first."

When Lin Yanchao smelled the fragrance of egg flowers, he had already moved his index fingers, picked up the porridge and drank it in a big gulp. Lin Qianqian looked at the way he drank porridge, very happy, and brought a bowl of white porridge with clear soup from the front of the stove and put it on Lin Yanchao's side.

Then Lin Qianqian went to the tablet in the corner of the room, folded his hands and bowed: "Dad, mother, Brother Chao's body has been greatly improved, Qianqian is very happy, but I hope that the family is safe, Brother Chao can get ahead." ”

Listening to the little girl's childish words, Lin Yanchao was a little moved and said: "Shallow, getting ahead, it's not so easy, you see that our family is surrounded by walls, and life is not good at the moment, you should beg your father and mother to let us eat first." ”

"That's not good, Brother Chao, you can't be so unambitious. You must work hard, be admitted to Xiucai, magnify the lintel of our Lin family, and marry me in the future. Lin Qianqian crossed his waist and said.

"Xiucai," Lin Yanchao deliberately teased Lin Qianqian, "It's not easy, shallow, what if I don't pass the test?" ”

"Hmph, whatever you get into, I'll marry you whenever you want. So you're going to be motivated, got it? Lin Qianqian said seriously.

"Then what if I haven't been able to pass the test?" Hearing Lin Yanchao say this, Lin Qianqian stomped his feet heavily and stopped speaking angrily. Lin Yanchao smiled and picked up the egg drop porridge in his mouth. After eating the egg porridge, Lin Yanchao only felt a wave of fatigue welling up. Lin Qianqian helped Lin Yanchao to go to bed.

After sleeping for a long time, it was already dark outside the window, Lin Yanchao opened his eyes, but saw that the dim lights in the room were still flickering. But I saw Lin Qianqian alone there, with rushes piled up all over the ground. She weaved straw mats against the faint light, and unfinished mats were piled up beside her.

Lin Yanchao remembered that before, she had persuaded Qianqian several times, but she always refused. The money she earned in exchange for straw mats was eventually converted into her own tuition. Lin Yanchao lay on the bed, looking at the spider on the roof who was spinning silk and weaving webs, and quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Illness comes like a mountain, and illness goes like a thread.

Under Lin Qianqian's careful care, Lin Yanchao's body gradually improved. Most of the family members are not there on weekdays, and the eldest mother rarely comes to see them, Lin Yanchao and Lin Qianqian are dependent on each other.

In the past ten days, Lin Yanchao has not been idle, while raising his body, he has read more than a dozen books from his father's collection.

Although these books are not related to the Four Books and Five Classics, they are all some famous classics, or simple books, Lin Yanchao almost memorized these dozen books at a rate of one a day, and was familiar with them. Lin Yanchao knew that his reading speed, whether it was in modern times or in ancient times, he would probably be called a prodigy.

Not only studying, but after Lin Yanchao recovered from his illness, he also began to walk around.

From the door of the house, a hundred steps to the east, is the earth-rammed embankment, which is the river air fresher. Along the way, when he encountered a familiar township, Lin Yanchao had to try to match the names of the people in front of him to the names in his memory, and also tried to learn to greet them like the etiquette of the ancients.

Walking up the embankment, you can see the whole village at a glance, and rows of huts are built along the embankment.

In front of the black tile eaves, everyone is busy, the villagers plough the fields, the fishermen fish, the old and the young who rest at home, and they are not idle, the men play rattan beds, the women make straw mats, the children weave straw hats, straw bags, and the women and children of the Tan family outside the embankment hold needles and twine to play fishing nets.

Fujian is closed to traffic, and the land is not accessible to business. The land in the township is accurate, the production is not abundant, and the people often work diligently all year round, but the income is only enough for themselves. Even so, the nearby fields are completely ploughed, and it is rare to see idle fields.

Hongshan Village also reflects the living conditions of the people in Fujian at that time. Living in a remote township in the mountains, the history books say that the local people are afraid of being diligent and envious, and they are happy to be practical. The general idea is that life is poor, so the people work hard, and the people would rather be frugal than compare what they eat on weekdays, and live a flashy life.

Even if they are the children of the official gentry, there are very few children who spend money lavishly. The eunuchs are still like this, and the ordinary people are even more concerned about money, and neighbors and relatives often have trouble with each other because of the matter of land lawsuits.

The history book has added a sum here, and the mu is expensive, so there are many lawsuits.

The air by the river is really fresh, which greatly helps his body, Lin Yanchao sat for a while, and his thinking gradually smoothed out, it is not the best policy to divide the family and fight for property, even if it is not enough to live in the back of himself and Qianqian. There is a saying that does not mean that children and grandchildren do not envy their grandmothers, and good daughters do not want to marry. Instead of focusing on sharing the family property with the eldest mother, it is better to think about how to get ahead.

You should be a baby, but I don't pay attention to it, the village woman, in this life, has never even walked out of the village, only knows how to stare at the Lin family's one-third of an acre, but I don't know that the outside world is vast, where there is a little bit of knowledge at all.

Get rid of a foolish woman!
