Chapter 129 Master the Secret Yourself
Yan Shenjue walked over slowly.
Mrs. Lin's clothes were soaked with sweat, but the young boy looked like he had just finished drinking tea. His face was not red, and he was not out of breath. He bent down and picked up Tuanzi, then said, "Come in and have some tea."
One side went ahead.
The second brother and the fourth brother followed him and took a look into the yard. They saw that the place had changed a lot.
The kitchens outside have all been renovated, and a few more rooms have been added to form a whole row, neat and spacious. The main rooms have also been repaired, and the doors and windows have all been replaced, making it look really brand new.
At that time, Tang Laosan's room was a common style in the countryside. It had a high gate platform half a person's height, and then a house was built on top. It was a rather large rectangular main room, separated by cabinets at both ends. The back could be used for living, and the country people used to call it the big three-room room.
There are ear rooms on both sides of the main house. Sometimes they are built lower to store things, but because there are many people in Tang Laosan's family, the ear rooms are built as high as the main house. They are two large rooms. There are east and west wing rooms on both sides of the main house, which can also be divided into three parts by boxes. People are used to calling them small three rooms.
The courtyard was paved with stones, planted with flowers and trees, and built with low railings, creating a simulated corridor. It was elegant in its simplicity and had lost all its original roughness.
As soon as I entered the room, I heard Third Brother Tang shouting. First Brother Tang and Second Brother Yuan were standing in front of the door of the east ear room with their backs to each other. I didn't know what they were talking about. They didn't even look back when they came in.
The second brother glanced at it but didn't go over. He praised: "Not bad, not bad. It looks better after this change."
Seeing that the little girl was looking around with great interest, Yan Shenjue pointed to the west wing and said, "I live here. All the books have been moved in. You can go and have a look. My uncle lives here," he pointed to the east wing, "there are some books there too."
The second elder brother was a little surprised: "Master Yuan doesn't live in the main house?"
"Yes," Yan Shenjue said, "My uncle and I both study and need study rooms, so we asked for these two sides. There is no couch in the main room, only a beauty couch for taking a nap. Big brother Yuan and second brother Yuan live in the east wing, and second uncle lives in the west wing. There are too few rooms, so this is the only arrangement for now."
As he spoke, he went in.
A boy who looked like a book boy in his teens came over and poured tea. The second brother looked around and understood what was going on.
The country people use the two ends of the main house as bedrooms because there are many people and few houses, but they are obviously not used to it. One side of the main house is completely arranged as a place to receive guests, and the other side is separated by a screen and placed with some desks and bookshelves, which can also be regarded as a study.
Yan Shenjue blew the tea cool and handed it to Naitianzi. Naitianzi had been talking for a long time and was already thirsty, so he took the tea with both hands.
As soon as I picked it up, I felt a burn and it blew on my little hands.
The second brother said, "Children's hands are tender, let me do it."
Yan Shenjue refused: "No need."
All right. The second brother stood up and said, "Can I go in and take a look?"
Yan Shenjue said: "Of course, you can look at it at will."
He blew for a long time, and continued to feed her water carefully, while gently asking Milk Ball: "I'll ask someone to make you cakes, okay?"
Milk ball touched his little belly and nodded.
The servant was very smart and went downstairs quickly to give instructions. Yan Shenjue took Tuanzi's little hand and came out, taking her to the west wing.
The west wing was divided into two rooms by building a half wall. The inner one was obviously the bedroom, and the outer one was the study, separated only by a beaded curtain. Yan Shenjue lifted the curtain and went in, pointing to the small low table beside him. "This table belongs to Xinbao. When you move over here, I will teach you the Three Character Classic. You can write from that side, okay?"
Xinbao's little feet stepped back immediately: "...Huh?"
She doesn’t want to study! Didn’t she agree not to study?!
Yan Shenjue said gently: "Try it out to see if the height is suitable."
Xinbao shook his head, grabbed the door with his little hands, and looked up to try to act cute: "No more drama!"
"We have to try." He easily pushed her little hands apart, lifted her clothes with one hand, and brought her directly to the table. He bent down to look at her and said gently, "Xinbao, I don't know if you can understand. You have to understand that it is always dangerous to ask for help from others for a secret. Many accidents may happen... So, the best way is to master the secret yourself."
His small hands touched her soft hair, his eyes calm, "Xinbao, I will teach you how to recognize those characters, okay?"
He was very close to her, his eyes clear yet vast.
She could see clearly that the boy still had a childish face, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and even each eyelash seemed to be carefully drawn, so beautiful that it was unbelievable.
She suddenly remembered a saying often said in the fan circle: it turns out that all the paintings and inks in the world are meant to highlight your stunning beauty.
It was so handsome, she loved it so much that she hugged his face with her chubby hands and kissed his eyes with her pouty little mouth.
The boy sighed and turned his face away, refusing the kiss.
He squatted down beside her, pulled her chubby hand down from her face, held it gently, and said softly: "Xinbao, do you understand what I mean?"
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Xinbao nodded: "I understand!"
In fact, what he said was not wrong, not wrong at all, absolutely right.
But she was really desperate and had no confidence in her broken body.
But the brain is something that only becomes more effective when used more. Even if you can't remember, it seems that it can exercise your brain. Xinbao patted his head: "Then you teach Xinbao from one to right."
Yan Shenjue smiled and said, "From one to six, right?"
He stood up and held her little head, "Xinbao, look at this."
Xinbao was forced to look down, and she saw a sewn booklet on the table. It was very large, bigger than her head. When she opened it, it looked like a children's book, with a big "一" written on it, and next to it was a big "一" in seal script.
In fact, the seal script, one, two, three, four, eight, and ten, are all the same as the characters she has mastered. Anyway, she only has six brothers, so she doesn't need to learn seven and nine for the time being. All she needs to remember is five and six, which seem easy to remember.
Yan Shenjue sat on a small chair, holding her with one hand, and read them out one by one.
He thought it through very carefully. After one to ten, he added hundred, thousand, and ten thousand, and then mountain, river, county, village, east, west, south, north... These were words that were likely to be used, and then there were names like Tang, Lin, Lang, and Niang. In short, if an uninformed person saw them, they would definitely not find it abrupt.
And Xinbao found that with such a booklet, she could check it herself! Because she could recognize most of the small characters! ! Xinbao was very happy and said, "Wife, can you write a book for Xinbao, this small?" She compared it with her palm: "It's very small, Xinbao can put it in her pocket?"
"Sure," Yan Shenjue said, "After Xinbao remembers everything, I will reward Xinbao with a small book. Now Xinbao, write 'one'."
He stretched out his hand.
Xinbao: “…”
She silently stretched out her little finger.
Over there, the second elder brother didn't want to come out after entering the study room, until the book boy brought up some snacks. The second elder brother put down his book and went out to look for someone. As soon as he went out, he heard Yan Xiaolang's voice: "It's still not right! You were obviously learning very quickly before! Why can't you write the word nine!"
