Chapter 384 Wenhua Building
After the two of them ate instant noodles and cleaned up, they closed the door and lay down on the bed to sleep.
Because the sun was shining brightly in the afternoon, it shone into the house through the window lattice. Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi lay down on the bed and rested for a while.
Perhaps the journey was indeed tiring, so when they returned to the house they had bought, which was also a safe place in the inner city, they fell asleep all of a sudden.
They slept very well and peacefully, and Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi didn't wake up until the evening.
After waking up, Shen Yueyao and Su Xueyi became busy.
Based on the room layout of the house, Shen Yueyao designed a blueprint for how to modify the kang and drew out the flue, so that the craftsmen would know how to build the kang.
She also planned to renovate the small courtyard where they lived in the east yard into a leisure place, with a stone table and stone benches, and find some climbing flowers and plants. When the vines covered the walls and bloomed, it would be very beautiful.
A large grape rack should be built in the middle, with tables and chairs underneath. In the summer, you can enjoy the cool air under the grape rack, watch the moon and eat grapes.
There are so many, Shen Yueyao planned and designed them one by one.
Su Xueyi picked up the book and started reading.
There are still few books in the town. Shen Yueyao was worried that Su Xueyi would neglect her studies, so she memorized the three books: "The Thirty-Six Strategies of War", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Zizhi Tongjian".
Shen Yueyao wrote them down in her space and showed them to Su Xueyi.
This era is a historical time and space that did not exist in the technological era of her previous life, so there is no need to worry about any problems with the books.
Su Xueyi likes these three books very much.
I always take it out and read it, and I can't put it down.
Such a wise book can be read several times without any problems.
And every time you read it, you gain something new.
Especially the strategies recorded in "The Art of War" are even more shocking.
This is military strategy.
One can imagine what kind of sensation such a book would cause if it were released.
Before, when Shen Yueyao told stories to Dabao and Erbao, she would also tell stories from Sun Tzu's Art of War and Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but they were just a few small stories full of wisdom and easy to understand. She did not explain the whole book.
Even the comic book she drew only contains a few of these stories, and it is not comprehensive.
Only after Su Xueyi read all the books did she realize how much wisdom they contained.
Even though the Marquis's Mansion once had a vast collection of books, he had never come across such books.
"This military strategy is really well written."
Su Xueyi couldn't help but sigh when she saw it.
He flipped through the book that Shen Yueyao had copied for him, as if it were a treasure.
Even when flipping through books, he did so carefully.
Su Xueyi looked for a while, as if she wanted to say something to Shen Yueyao. When she turned around to look at her, she found that she was drawing something. Because she was too focused on drawing, ink was stained on her cheeks, making her look like a little kitten.
Su Xueyi smiled gently, stretched out her hand, and gently wiped it off for Shen Yueyao.
Shen Yueyao was stunned for a moment, blinked and looked at Su Xueyi and said, "Is there something on my face?"
Su Xueyi said gently, "There's ink all over your face."
"ah……"
Just as Shen Yueyao was about to move, Su Xueyi said softly, "Don't move."
After a while, Su Xueyi took out a towel and gently wiped Shen Yueyao clean with very gentle movements.
"alright."
Shen Yueyao chuckled, and her attention finally fell on Su Xueyi. She looked at Su Xueyi's expression and said, "You've read this book several times. Do you like it so much?"
Su Xueyi nodded and explained, "I gain something different every time I watch it."
Shen Yueyao knew that Su Xueyi liked to read books, especially those that recorded local customs and folkways.
Just because these books can broaden one's horizons.
Shen Yueyao said, "I met some students on the way to the capital. I heard that many people who passed the examination would travel to study and gain experience."
"Some will go to literary societies in various places to make friends through writing and exchange knowledge. I heard that students from different schools of thought have different writing styles."
Shen Yueyao felt that Su Xueyi had not done any of these things, and she didn't know if he would have any regrets in his heart.
If nothing had happened in the Marquis' Mansion, he would have had plenty of time to do what he wanted to do, and he could have gone on a study tour to broaden his horizons.
You can make many talented friends.
Su Xueyi’s expression moved, but in order not to make Shen Yueyao worry, she shook her head and said, “It’s okay.”
…
The next morning, Fan Quan returned with his men. He was very happy to see Shen Yueyao and the others coming to the capital.
He handed the farmland title deed to Shen Yueyao and said, "Master, this is the farmland we bought on the outskirts of the city..."
"This is the title deed to the house, and this is the account of all expenses. Please review it, Master."
Fan Quan was always respectful towards Shen Yueyao.
It's not just because they used to be servants in the Marquis' Mansion, nor is it just because their master is their family's benefactor, but also because their master's abilities and what he does make them admire him from the bottom of their hearts.
After Shen Yueyao took a look, she said, “You did very well.”
However, she guessed that houses in the inner city of the capital would be very expensive. She didn't expect that just a small house with two entrances would cost more than 100,000 taels of silver. This price was really expensive.
Shen Yueyao asked about the situation of the farm outside the city again, nodded and said, "You did a good job."
The next day, Shen Yueyao planned to go to the manor to take a look.
Su Xueyi originally wanted to accompany Shen Yueyao.
Shen Yueyao shook her head and said, “You have your own things to do. You can’t accompany me for everything.”
"I think it would be boring to study at home all the time. I heard there's a Wenhua Building over on Changping Street. Students from all over the country come there to meet friends and exchange knowledge. It's a pretty good atmosphere."
"And I heard there are a lot of books there. If you like any book, you can buy it and bring it back. We can put a lot of books in our study."
Su Xueyi thought about it and felt that it was a good idea.
He knew that Yao Niang was also thinking about him.
So on this day, Shen Yueyao took Fan Quan to visit Zhuangzi.
Su Xueyi went to Wenhua Building.
As expected, there were many students gathered here. They gathered together to write articles and recite poems, and it was a lively scene.
Su Xueyi listened quietly and could see that some people were indeed talented.
Everyone talked about poetry, songs, classics, history, local customs and practices, as well as astronomy and geography.
Some people can talk freely and can say anything.
Su Xueyi liked this kind of atmosphere, but he didn't like to be in the spotlight.
So I just found a corner, sat down and listened quietly to others' discussion.
But even though Su Xueyi was very low-key, some people still noticed him. "This brother has an outstanding temperament. I wonder what your name is."
Su Xueyi said calmly, "A name is just a title. I am not well-educated, so I will just listen to your discussion."
"Could it be that this brother looks down on us, or is not a student? Could it be that he just wants to learn something without actually sharing his experience?"
When a man speaks like this, anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is deliberately targeting others.
Everyone looking at Su Xueyi could see that he had an outstanding temperament, but unfortunately he was dressed in ordinary clothes.
Maybe he is a student from a poor family.
It is surprising that there is such an outstanding person with good looks and temperament among students from poor families.
