One morning in October, the sky was already bright, and the warm sun shone in front of the window, Lin Yanchao had already gotten up early and worked hard in front of the desk, which was his daily fixed homework. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sound of reading echoed in the small upstairs of the house.

The uncle who sneaked home from the official house last night for the night, and the aunt dressed up the official clothes under the service of the eldest lady, and then stepped out to the yamen to answer the mao. And after the eldest lady sent the uncle to the door, she also carried the vegetable basket to the morning market to buy vegetables. The third uncle didn't even eat, and he didn't see anyone early in the morning, so he knew that he went to Yue's house to be courteous without asking.

Lin Qianqian was cooking in the kitchen, covering everything, and beads of sweat were sliding down his forehead.

As for Lin Yanshou, who came back from buying land that day, after he was beaten on the spot by his uncle, Lin Gao sighed for fear that this eldest grandson would go astray and lose his family business, and he thought that he could study hard and be effective, and he would be able to find a decent job to make a living in the future.

Although Lin Yanshou can replace the uncle's position in the future, the errands in the yamen are also exquisite, and it is not so easy to mix.

Later, Lin Yanchao asked Lin Yin to find a museum for Lin Yanshou and found a new gentleman. This new gentleman is rigorous in his studies, and he is still a student, and the Lin family hopes that he can train Lin Yanshou well in his hands. Since then, Lin Yanshou has entered the library to study again, and he will not go home except for the New Year's Day.

And Lin Yanchao studied quietly every day according to the daily class set earlier.

It is the time to close the door, close the door, and cut off the four roads, which is the time to study. What is the four road heads, people's hearts are troubled to be long or short, and they are all road heads.

This sentence was said by Zhu Zi, emphasizing that when reading, people should be quiet first.

How to be still? Whether it is the study of the mind or the science of science, meditation is emphasized, and meditation is used as a daily lesson. Calm down in this way.

Lin Yan also mentioned in the letter that Lin Yanchao should meditate for an hour every day as a lesson.

Lin Yanchao did it for a while, and then felt that using meditation to maintain tranquility had the effect of being as the Taoist said, boiling an empty pot with water and fire. It's like homework is useful, but it doesn't work.

Lin Yanchao will read his own experience. In the letter to Lin Hydrocarbon, it was written.

It is true that beginners learn to meditate, and meditation is quite effective. But taking meditation as a daily lesson is putting the cart before the horse. If you sit silently all day long, how can you be like Yao Shun Yu ruling the Ming Dynasty, punishing the four murderers, and being outside for eight years, how can Shang Tang and Zhou Wu save the people? How can you sit and wait for Zhou Gong, assist Youjun, and punish Cai? How can Confucius travel all over the world and want to help the world?

Lin Yanchao also wrote in the letter that meditation is the study of Zen Buddhism, and scholars can use it to learn. When you are upset, it is okay to meditate to empty your mind and regulate your thoughts, but if you are not in good health, it is okay to meditate to nourish your body, but if you take meditation as a homework, it is not good to do learning.

For example, many Confucian students are good at meditating and cultivating themselves. Like a person in Buddhism. But Buddhism is born, and Confucianism is to enter the world. If you blindly slim down. In the end, it can only end up with the result of 'usually sitting quietly and talking about the heart, and repaying the king when he dies'.

If you can't use your books for the rest of your life, you're a pile of waste paper.

However, in addition to meditating, Lin Yanchao generally read according to what Lin Yan taught, holding the word Jingjing every day, and he has also read a lot of books in the past two months, and he can't release the volume. The subsets of scriptures and histories are all read, and the book on the other side is also half of the "Ancient Texts of Shangshu".

Lin Qianqian had already cooked the rice at this time, and she also knew that Lin Yanchao would not go downstairs to eat if he didn't read to the end.

At that moment, Lin Qianqian packed Lin Yanchao and his own food. A bowl of gruel was packed, and a plate of side dishes and steamed eggs were put on a plate and placed next to the steamer in the kitchen to keep the meal from cooling.

After wiping the edge of the stove, Lin Qianqian, who was wearing a kitchen skirt, carried a small bench alone, sat in front of the stove, looked at the unextinguished firewood in the stove, supported his small chin with both hands, and thought about his thoughts sullenly.

Since Lin Yanchao decided to take the township exam next year, he has been even more diligent in his studies, and it is difficult to say a few words to him on weekdays. The two can only talk while eating. Generally speaking, Lin Qianqian would rather wait for a while, just to have a few words during dinner.

The firewood in the stove gradually dimmed, and the sun was getting higher and higher, Lin Qianqian couldn't help frowning, and said with a pause: "Nerd, I can't read anymore." ”

Lin Qianqian walked out of the kitchen, but when he saw Lin Yanchao on the windowsill holding a book and reading hard, the idea of going up to urge was suppressed again, for fear of interrupting Lin Yanchao's interest in reading. Lin Qianqian returned to the stove again, plucked the stove with tongs, and said in his mouth: "Nerd, nerd, you know how to read, I didn't like Xiucai with you, don't want to marry me." Now that you've won the show, don't you squeak? ”

"Grandpa is too, what do you say that you have to wait for the third uncle to prolong your life and become a pro, so that it can be Yanchao's turn. Could it be that I will not be married for a lifetime, so I will just wait. Hum! ”

Lin Qianqian thought sullenly, when there was a knock on the door outside, and then Zhan Ming, who lived in the outer courtyard, opened the door.

One said: "Is Brother Yanchao at home?" Below is Chen Xinggui, a classmate of his academy. ”

Lin Qianqian thought to himself, Lin Yanchao turned down all entertainment for the township test, and I don't know who came to find him at this time.

As he spoke, a man walked into the inner courtyard, and Lin Qianqian hurriedly avoided entering the house.

But listening to Lin Yanchao's voice outside the house, he said, "It turned out to be Brother Chen, what kind of wind blew you here?" ”

Another person outside the house said: "I know that Brother Lin is studying hard, but there is something to worry about right now......

"That being the case, this is not the place to talk, let's go upstairs and talk together."

"It's fine."

Saying that, Lin Qianqian heard the sound of going upstairs, and said angrily: "Nerd, you haven't eaten yet." ”

Upstairs, Lin Yanchao and Chen Xinggui sat down.

Chen Xinggui looked at Lin Yanchao's study and said, "Nestled in the building with flowers, reading is really pleasant." ”

After Lin Yanchao sat down, he said with a smile: "Brother Chen, don't praise me, let's talk about it!" ”

Chen Xinggui said: "Then I'll get straight to the point, my eldest brother Chen Zhenlong, I don't know if Brother Lin has an impression?" ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "I was in a hurry for a while during the Nanyuan Poetry Club that day. ”

Chen Xinggui said: "Brother Lin, in fact, the younger brother is here to be entrusted by the eldest brother, and now my eldest brother has a tricky matter and wants to trouble you." ”

Lin Yanchao listened and said: "I remember that Brother Ling is the leading wealthy businessman in the provincial capital, and his wealth is powerful, and it is unusual for him to trouble me as a scholar if he can't do it." But I have been friends with Brother Chen for many years, you can talk to me, and I will do my best to help if I can. ”

Chen Xinggui said gratefully: "I really didn't make a friend like Brother Lin. You can help, my Chen brothers are grateful, if you can't help, I will continue to be my good friend, and I will never be strong. ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said in his heart, this is the strength of the sea merchant, and asked at the moment: "I don't know what tricky thing it is?" (To be continued.) )
