Thank you very much to the glacier dancers (100) for their tips!

After closing his eyes and thinking for a while about the experience on the paper in the Analects that he read in the afternoon, Luo was sure that the identity of the master of the Lu family must be extraordinary. To this extent, it is impossible to understand the Analects to this extent.

He put down his Analects, put on his shoes, pushed the door and walked out, and saw the eldest brother chopping wood with an axe.

"Big brother, I'll come!"

"Bang!" Luo Qing chopped down with an axe and said, "No, I'll finish chopping such a little firewood soon." ”

Luo Xin stopped talking, stood aside and squinted at the dusk sky, but after standing for a while, he felt a little cold on his body. He stood in the middle of the courtyard and started tai chi.

"Little brother, what kind of punch is this?" I don't know when Luo Qing has finished chopping firewood, and he is looking at Luo Xin curiously.

"Tai Chi!"

"Tai Chi! I heard that it was Taoist kung fu, but it was very good-looking, but I don't know if I can get in. ”

Luo Xin smiled and continued to play Tai Chi, when footsteps came from outside the door, and he saw his father push open the door and walk in, carrying a blanket on his shoulders.

"Daddy!" Luo Qing greeted him, and Luo Xin also stopped and walked towards his father.

"Xin'er, enter the house, see what Dad bought you?"

Looking at the blanket on Luo Ping's shoulders, Luo Xin realized something, and hurriedly followed his father into the house.

"His dad is back!" Roche also put down the needle and thread in his hand and got down from the kang.

Luo Ping carefully put the blanket on the table, and then gently untied it, Luo Xin's eyes lit up. In the blanket there is a brush, an inkstone, a piece of ink, and a knife of paper.

"I've finally seen these things!" Luo Xin's heart was excited.

"Dad, how much copper money did these cost?"

"Five hundred wen!" Luo Ping smiled innocently, but those eyes looked at Luo Xin with sparkle: "Xin'er will definitely be great." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the painting on the wall. There is no doubt that Dad thinks that Luo Xin can paint such a picture, that is, he has wisdom, and he will definitely glorify his ancestors in the future.

Luo Xin's heart was sour, he didn't expect that his father, who had always been thrifty, would spend 500 Wen to buy the four treasures of the study for him, especially when he bought a knife of paper. Nowadays, paper is not cheap and belongs to luxury. The four treasures of the study room of 500 wen plus the bundle of 500 wen, one or two pieces of silver were spent. And that's just a year's cost, what about next year? Luo Xin sighed softly, gently stretched out his hand and stroked the paper on the table, and a warm current surged in his heart.

"My Daming Road has begun here!"

"The New Year is just a few days away." Luo Ping sat on the stool and said, "Tomorrow I will take Xin'er to apprentice, so that after the New Year, Xin'er can go to the school to study." ”

"Thank you, Dad!" Luo Xin said softly.

"Xin'er reading is a time-consuming thing, and you can't just study for a year. This time it's because Xin'er happened to earn a piece of silver, where will there be such a coincidence in the future? Today I have gone to the county seat, and I will go to the county seat after fifteen, and I can earn a lot of silver a year, so the shackles of Xin'er's study will be solved, Qing'er. ”

"Daddy!"

"The three acres of land at home will be handed over to you, and you have to take care of the fields."

Luo Qing puffed up his chest and said, "Dad, I have grown up, and I will definitely take care of Tian Da." ”

"Xiangling, when I'm not at home, the home will be handed over to you."

Luo nodded and said, "His father, don't worry, I will take care of the house." Just be sure to be safe when you're outside. ”

"I know!"

Luo was a little bitter in his confidence, for him to study alone, the whole family was serving him, and this emotional debt made him a little breathless.

"Daddy......"

"Xin'er, don't be burdened in your heart. As long as you are admitted to Xiucai like your uncle, your family will be exempt from tax exemption and forced labor. If you feel that you owe something to your family, study hard. Strive for ten years to take the exam before coming back. ”

"Ten years? Where did I wait so long! Luo Xin said secretly, took a breath softly and said, "Yes!" ”

The next day.

Luo Ping took Luo Xin to visit Lin Chang, a private school talent in the village, and after Lin Chang received the restraints, he told Luo Ping to start classes on the sixteenth day of the first month. didn't ask much, he was an old man in Shanglin Village, and he knew every family very well, so he naturally knew that Luo Xin had never read a book, so he didn't test Luo Xin.

Luo Xin followed his father home, and his father began to make bookcases for Luo Xin. Luo Qing was playing with a big knife in the courtyard, and Luo Xin took out the handwriting given to him by Steward Lu in the house and prepared to copy it. He didn't want to practice calligraphy, his characters had already reached the realm of Dacheng, and there was no need to practice any more, unless he wanted to create a new font.

There is no need, Luo Xin did not want to be a great calligrapher. He just needs a process to let the people around him know that he is practicing calligraphy, and no one will be surprised when the time comes.

Looking at the knife of paper, Luo Xin hesitated, suddenly his eyes lit up, put down the brush and ran to the yard, and saw that his father was about to finish a bookcase. And he ran to him:

"Daddy, you can make a tablet, like a panel, it's so big." As he spoke, Luo Xin gestured to the size.

"Do what?"

"Practice calligraphy!"

"Practicing calligraphy?"

"Well, use a brush dipped in water to write on a wooden board so that you can save paper."

Luo Ping stretched out his hand and touched Luo Xin's head and said, "Xin'er is smart!" Daddy will do it for you right away. ”

In less than a quarter of an hour, Luo Ping finished a plank, and Luo Xin ran around the room with the plank, put his eyes on the table, then took a bowl and scooped a bowl of water from the water tank and put it next to the plank, dipped the brush in water, and began to write on the board. I wrote a word, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart. It's hard to write well, and it's not easy to write badly!

Luo Xin wants to make his handwriting a process of getting better, so the handwriting he wrote at the beginning should not only not be good, but also bad. But he was used to writing beautifully, and it was not easy for him to write bad words.

After practicing for more than two quarters of an hour, Luo Xin looked at the words on the wooden board and nodded with satisfaction, the words were much uglier. The door was pushed open, and Daddy walked in, carrying a bookcase in his hand. I opened the bookcase, took out a palm-sized gourd from it, put it on the table, and said:

"Xin'er, this little gourd is for water. Hurry up and put the four treasures of the study into the bookcase, see if it fits, and if there is something inappropriate, my father will change it for you. ”

Looking at his father's expectant eyes, Luo Xin put down the brush and put the things into the bookcase, and then raised his smiling face:

"Thank you, Daddy!"

"It's good to be right! Just be suitable! Luo Ping stood aside and rubbed his big hands excitedly.
