Chapter 2 There is a shrew at home
An ordinary morning in the first year of Wanli of the Ming Dynasty.
After waking up, Lin Yanchao felt much better and less pain. After all, he was only twelve years old. Once he got sick, he would be more rejuvenated than anyone else, unlike those seriously ill adults. It was just dawn, and the sharp wind of the river made the broken window paper rustling. The wind blowing into the room drastically dispelled the musty smell inside.
When Lin Yanchao was sick, he knew that he could not be affected by the wind, so he put on his clothes, stretched his hands and feet, slowly moved his feet to the bed, pointed his toes, and put on his shoes. The eaves across the alley were almost hanging in front of the house, and the lighting in the room was very poor. Lin Yanchao touched the edge of the table with the faint light. Although this was the simplest action, it took too much effort.
After seeing the house where the house was almost barely walled, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but want to tell himself that he could not give in to life. Every day is a new day. Life must start again, and all this must be started again. But when he spoke, Lin Yanchao himself said: "If you are new every day, you are new every day, and you are new every day."
After reading it, even I felt incredible, and I automatically translated into ancient Chinese?
Where did you read this sentence? Then a memory surged up. In the second chapter of the university, Tang Zhipanming said: "If you are new every day, you are new every day, and you are new every day." This sentence was learned by Lin Yanchao before, but of course he forgot it. When he rereads his memory, it is clearer than he has seen it himself.
"That's great." Lin Yanchao couldn't help but stroking his hands. He wanted to find a few books to read.
There were thudding footsteps on the roof, and then there was the sound of spittoons or urinal movement. I guess the old lady had just gotten up until midnight. Living in the same roof with such a person was really uncomfortable, and she had to find a way to change her current situation.
Lin Yanchao walked a few steps while holding the wall. The narrow room was clear at a glance. The bookcase was right on the corner of the west wall. It was also very difficult to say that the bookcase was just a poplar shelf on the wall, with several books alone on it.
Lin Yanchao took the book casually and glanced at the cover of Xie Fangde's version of "Thousand Family Poems". When he turned the pages, a musty smell filled the entire room. My God, it was still an old book with black mouth yellow bamboo paper. This is probably an old book from the Zhengde period. It is a priceless treasure in modern times. Nowadays, several parts of the book are moldy and sticky together. How do you read it?
Lin Yanchao could only put down the book Qianjia Poems and put it to the window to dry it.
Then Lin Yanchao took a book called "The Greatest Yanyi" from the bookcase. The Greatest Yanyi is to explain the meaning of the Greatest Yanyi, which is a supplementary textbook for the "The Greatest Yanyi" in the Four Books and Five Classics. The word "Lin Ding" is written on the tail of the page of the book. This is the name of Lin Yanchao's father. Lin Yanchao's father was a scholar. If it were not for the Japanese turmoil, Lin Yanchao would not be in such a miserable situation in the Lin family today.
Lin Yanchao opened the book and said that the white-mouthed white cotton paper of "The Great Yanyi" was a vassal engraved version from the 46th year of Jiajing. The vassal engraved version was a book engraved by the royal vassal government of the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the vassal engraved version was carefully proofread, with exquisite paper and ink, and exquisite engraving, which was almost comparable to the jail engraved version of the North and South Imperial College. As for the folk engraved books, the books were much better than those engraved by folk artists. In addition, there were also circles and sentences on the book, which was very suitable for Lin Yanchao to read. Lin Yanchao read the whole book through it. Whenever he encountered the content, he combined the memories of the previous life and the this life, and compared it with the two and one comparison, and then he could solve it.
Lin Yanchao tried to memorize it silently, and recited it two or three times before memorizing the first volume of "The Greatest Yanyi".
"I didn't expect that after rebirth, I became a genius who endorses memorizes me!"
Lin Yanchao couldn't help but feel shocked. After thinking about it, it was probably the best for everyone to have childhood memory, such as learning language, which is the best at this time. However, children's understanding is quite poor. For adults, their understanding is very strong, but their memory is weaker than when they were children. And memorization depends on post-comprehension memory. Lin Yanchao is at the age of a twelve-year-old child, but his understanding is also thirty-year-old, so he memorized the book very quickly.
"Looking at my future journey to the imperial examination, I still have a lot of promise." Lin Yanchao couldn't help but think so.
Lin Yanchao glanced at the twenty books in the bookcase at home, which was the benefit of having a scholar's father. Although he was gone, all the books he had read during his lifetime were left behind. Otherwise, if it were an ordinary family, even if they were talented, where would they go to study?
Lin Yanchao's reading was good, and he was complacent for a while. Then he took a pen to practice calligraphy. However, after finishing writing an article, he found that the words were crooked and had no pretentiousness. Lin Yanchao was speechless. He had no skills in his previous life. It seemed that practicing calligraphy took some effort in this life. When Lin Yanchao was looking at his pen calligraphy, he heard the sound of the door opening.
But Lin Qianqian brought Lin Yanchao a bowl of egg flower porridge. The faint smell of egg flower and green onion came.
"Hey, why do you have the money to buy eggs? Could it be that the aunty is from?"
Lin Qian said with a brief look at Lin Yanchao and said, "How is it possible? Auntie is the kind of person who eats the nose of a booster as salt. It was Auntie next door who heard that your body is well, so she secretly stuffed me an egg to replenish your body."
Lin Yanchao suddenly realized it, and also snorted: "I just thought that with the aunt's stingy nature, I would never take out an egg and replenish my body at this time. A family with blood-related relatives is better than a neighbor who cares about me and thanks my third aunt for me."
"I've mentioned you to thank Aunt San. Please collect your books quickly. Don't be healthy, just study and have a meal first."
Lin Yanchao smelled the fragrance of egg flowers and had already moved his index finger, picked up the porridge and drank it in big mouthfuls. Lin Qianqian looked at the way he was drinking the porridge, and was very happy. She brought a bowl of white porridge with clear soup from the front of the stove and placed it beside Lin Yanchao.
Then Lin Qianqian went to the front of the tablet in the corner of the room, folded his hands together and bowed, "Dad, mother, Brother Chao's body is already great, Qianqian is very happy, but I hope that the whole family will be safe and safe, Brother Chao can stand out."
Listening to the little girl's childish words, Lin Yanchao was a little moved: "Qianqian, it is not that easy to make a name for himself. Look at our family, we are not living a good life now. You should beg your parents to let us have a full meal first."
"That won't work. Brother Chao, you can't be so unambitious. You must work hard and be admitted to the scholar, and bless our Lin family's family. In the future, you will marry me in a grand manner." Lin Qianqian said with her waist.
"Scholar," Lin Yanchao deliberately teased Lin Qianqian, "This is not easy, Qianqian, what if I didn't pass the exam?"
"Hmph, I will marry you whenever you pass the exam. So you have to be motivated, do you understand?" Lin Qianqian said seriously.
"Then I haven't passed the exam?" After hearing Lin Yanchao say this, Lin Qianqian stomped her feet heavily and stopped talking. Lin Yanchao smiled and slid the egg flower porridge in her mouth. After eating the egg flower porridge, Lin Yanchao felt a sense of fatigue surge. Lin Qianqian helped Lin Yanchao to bed.
After sleeping for a long time, the sky was already dark outside the window. Lin Yanchao opened his eyes, but saw the dim lights in the room still flashing. But he saw Lin Qianqian alone, with rushing grass piled beside her. She weaved straw mats to the faint lights, and there were still unwoven mats piled up beside her.
Lin Yanchao remembered that she had advised Qianqian several times before, but she refused. The money she earned from playing straw mats was finally exchanged for her own tuition. Lin Yanchao lay on the bed, looking at the spider spinning silk and weaving webs on the roof, quietly erasing the tears from the corners of her eyes.
The disease comes like a mountain falling, and the disease goes like a thread being drawn.
Under Lin Qianqian's careful care, Lin Yanchao's health gradually improved. Most of his family members were away on weekdays, and the aunt rarely came to see them. Lin Yanchao and Lin Qianqian were considered to be a situation where they depended on each other.
In the past ten days, Lin Yanchao has not been idle. While caring for his body, he read all his father's dozens of books.
Although these books do not have the Four Books and Five Classics, they are all famous books or simple books. Lin Yanchao memorized these dozen books at a rate of almost one a day and was familiar with them. Lin Yanchao knew that his reading speed would probably be called a child prodigy in modern times or in ancient times.
Not only did Lin Yanchao recover from his illness, he also started walking around.
From the doorstep of the house, one hundred steps eastward is the dam of earth, which is the fresher air by the river. Along the way, Lin Yanchao tried to match the names in front of him to the names in his memory, and also tried to say hello like the etiquette of the ancients.
Walking up the embankment and looking around, the entire village was filled with rows of cottages built along the embankment.
In front of the black tiled eaves, everyone is busy. The villagers plow the fields, the fishermen fish, and the young and old who are resting at home are not at ease. Men play rattan beds, women play straw mats, children weave grass hats, straw bags, women and children outside the embankment, holding needles and twine to hit fishing nets.
The traffic in Fujian is blocked and the land is not profitable from merchants. The land in the village is solid and the production is not abundant. The people often move diligently throughout the year, but they only have enough food for themselves. Even so, the nearby fields are almost completely plowed, and there are few idle fields.
Hongshan Village also reflects the living conditions of the people in Fujian at that time. They live in remote villages, and historical books say that the local people are afraid of being weak and envious, and use their favor to be rich and beautiful. The general idea is that they live in poverty, so the people work hard, and the people would rather be frugal than compare and live a flashy life.
Even if it is a family of officials and gentry, there are few playboys who spend money big. Officials are still like this, and ordinary people are very concerned about money. Neighbors and relatives often cause peace of mind due to family separations due to land lawsuits.
Historical books added another note here, and the cost of sleeping is expensive, so there are many lawsuits for many fields.
The air by the river is really fresh, which greatly helps his body. Lin Yanchao sat for a while and his thinking gradually became smoother. It is not the best way to separate the family and compete for property, and even if he fights, it is not enough for him and Qianqian to live later. There is a saying that children and grandchildren do not envy their parents' fields, and good girls do not want to marry. Instead of focusing on dividing the family property with the aunt, it is better to think about how to make a name for themselves.
You think you are a treasure, but I don't take it seriously. The woman in the village has never even walked out of the village entrance in her life. She only knows how to stare at the Lin family's one-and-three-point land, but she doesn't know that the outside world is vast and there is no knowledge at all.
