"oh."
Caixia nodded thoughtfully.
DouDou brought Chu Peiran a bowl of ginger soup. Seeing that he was deep in thought, she gently placed the soup aside without disturbing him.
"Chirp chirp chirp chirp chirp..."
The little dumpling was singing loudly upstairs.
People passing by would glance up at the building.
"Don't disturb passersby."
"Hi!"
The little dumpling had no choice but to give up.
Qin Luo came downstairs and saw Chu Peiran sitting in front of the chessboard, so he went over to greet him, "Brother Chu, have you made up your mind?"
Chu Peiran shook his head and sighed softly, "Brother Dao, could you tell me your thought process when playing chess?"
Qin Luo sat opposite Chu Peiran and chuckled, "I play chess entirely by feeling."
"Feel?"
Chu Peiran was somewhat surprised.
Qin Luo said with a smile, "Brother Chu, why don't you just follow your instincts?"
"OK."
Chu Peiran didn't think about winning or losing; he made his move based on his intuition, and Qin Luo quickly followed suit.
After dozens of moves, Chu Peiran's large group of stones was captured, and he resigned, saying, "I lost. It seems that only your intuition was correct."
"Just lucky."
"Losing to my boss is not shameful."
Xiao Tao brought Qin Luo some ginger soup. "Master Dao, this is the ginger soup you made. Please try it."
Qin Luo picked up the bowl and took a sip of ginger soup.
"Sister Xiaotao, I want to drink too."
The little dumpling has a sweet tongue.
Qin Luo handed her the remaining ginger soup, saying, "Don't waste it, finish it all."
The little girl picked up the bowl, which was bigger than her face, and gulped down the ginger soup in a few mouthfuls. "It tastes awful. I'll never drink it again."
Chu Peiran said in a serious tone, "Only by enduring the bitterest of hardships can one rise above others."
"I don't believe it."
The little dumpling tilted its head proudly.
The building was quiet in the early morning, and Chu Peiran continued to teach Xiao Tao and Dou Dou to read.
Qin Luo was teaching Xiao Tuanzi the Thousand Character Classic. She learned it very quickly because she often listened to it at Longhu Temple.
"Copy the Thousand Character Classic once."
"If you don't write it well, copy it twice."
Qin Luo placed a small stool on the table. The little girl sat cross-legged in front of the stool, holding a pen and writing carefully. She wrote each stroke very carefully and could distinguish between writing it once and twice.
Seeing the little dumpling writing diligently, Qin Luo nodded in satisfaction. He wanted to use this method to temper the little dumpling's character.
Half a day has passed.
The little dumpling stretched and said, "Finally finished writing, boss, take a look."
Qin Luo looked at the thousand-character text written by the little dumpling. The characters were very large. Although they were not very beautiful, each character was easily recognizable.
"You've made progress, but you still need to practice more."
Qin Luo nodded with a smile.
"Hehe, got it."
The little dumpling pasted the Thousand Character Classic she had written in the very center of the wall, saying, "It's so well written! I'm a cultured bird too."
Qin Luo hung a piece of peach wood near the Thousand Character Classic. The front of the wood had the character "Qin" written on it, the back had the character "Jing" written on it, and the next piece of peach wood had the characters "Qing Xue" written on it.
"Boss, I want to write one too."
"You write it."
Qin Luo tossed her a piece of peach wood.
The little dumpling has "Tuanzi" written on the front and a round little sparrow drawn on the back with a tuft of hair on its head, making it look very domineering.
"Finish."
"I'm so smart."
The little dumpling smiled happily as she hung her peach wood next to Qin Luo's.
At noon, Gui Chen copied all the scriptures he knew into a book and placed it on the bookshelf of Qinghe Building. "Amitabha."
Seeing that Qin Luo and Xiao Tuanzi had both left wooden plaques as souvenirs, Chu Peiran took out a piece of sandalwood, wrote the character "Chu" on the front, and the character "Ren" on the back.
Gui Chen couldn't see it, but he knew the characters Chu Peiran and the others had written. He took out a piece of rotten wood, wrote the character "Chen" on the front, and the character "Yuan" on the back.
Suddenly, the Thousand Character Classic and five wooden plaques appeared on the originally monotonous wall. When a breeze blew, the five wooden plaques would spin and collide, making a crisp sound.
After noon, people came to Qinghelou to drink tea, and they were all attracted by the five wooden plaques on the wall.
Xiao Tao and her team started getting busy. Many customers came from recommendations by friends. They came here to read books, play chess, drink tea, and chat. Qinghelou became more and more famous in Jiangling City.
