Chapter 303 Red Sleeves Add Fragrance, Night Reading

The head of the Jian family was not a reliable guy, Huang Tinghui finally understood.
However, because the little girl saved the young master of the Jian family, the old lady of the Jian family treated Huang Tinghui and others as honored guests.
Under the warm invitation of the old lady of the Jian family, Huang Tinghui, Wu Feilian and Fatty Gong could only stay at the Jian family's home.
At this time, there was still some time before the college examination, and Huang Tinghui was not too anxious.
After dinner, the old lady of the Jian family looked at Huang Tinghui and said, "Huang Xiaolangjun, I think you will definitely pass this college examination."
"My useless son can't help you much, but it's true that he has a lot of books in his study."
"They are all miscellaneous books. If Huang Xiaolangjun is interested, you can take a look."
Although I have a feeling of "hating iron but not steel" towards my son.
But the old lady never said that Jian Ruru's study was useless, which aroused Huang Tinghui's interest.
As night fell slowly, Huang Tinghui held an oil lamp and gently opened the door to the study room mentioned by Jian Ruru.
After walking a few steps, Huang Tinghui saw a candle lantern on a shelf nearby.
It seems that Jian Ruru often studies in this study, so the candle lamp here is always kept aside.
Huang Tinghui picked up the oil lamp in his hand and lit the candle lamp placed aside.
After the flames started to jump, Huang Tinghui turned around and was about to walk to the back room of the study.
Suddenly, a petite figure appeared in front of Huang Tinghui.
"Husband..."
Huang Tinghui was startled by this sudden appearance.
He instinctively jumped back a step, but when he heard the sound, Huang Tinghui immediately reacted.
If this is not my wife, who is she?
Probably Huang Tinghui's movements were too big, and the little girl who suddenly appeared thought Huang Tinghui was startled by something dirty.
She quickly hugged Huang Tinghui's arms and buried her whole petite body in front of Huang Tinghui's chest.
It wasn't until she heard Huang Tinghui's "plop-plop" and extremely powerful heartbeat that the little girl calmed down.
As for Huang Tinghui, he smiled bitterly and helplessly.
It was obviously the little girl who suddenly appeared and startled me.
In the end, she was the one who was frightened?
I saw the oil lamp that had fallen to the ground and was extinguished.
Huang Tinghui shook his head helplessly, and reached out to touch the little girl's head.
"Obviously you came out suddenly and scared me."
"In the end, you were shocked!"
Huang Tinghui said to the little girl softly.
Hearing what Huang Tinghui said, the little girl's face turned slightly red.
"Her husband suddenly disappeared, so Lian'er thought...that her husband might have come here...to the study to look for books."
"Just follow me and take a look!"
The little girl stammered and said to Huang Tinghui.
Huang Tinghui actually didn't care why the little girl appeared. He just stretched out his hand and tapped the little girl's forehead.
"In that case, let me study with my husband!" Huang Tinghui said to the little girl softly.
"Um!"
The little girl stayed awake and came here with Huang Tinghui, wasn't it just to accompany Huang Tinghui to study?
Now that Huang Tinghui asks her to study with him, the little girl will naturally not refuse.
"Some of the grease in the oil lamp was spilled, and the study smelled like this."
"Mr. Jian will definitely notice something is wrong by then." Huang Tinghui scratched the tip of the little girl's nose.
The little girl knew she had done something wrong, so she stuck out her tongue.
"Lian'er clean it up!"
"Haha..." Huang Tinghui couldn't help but laugh twice, "Go and open the door to the study room, and the smell will dissipate."
"I'm afraid cleaning won't be of much use!"
"Yeah!" A clear voice came, and the little girl opened the door to the study.
Immediately, she was pulled over by Huang Tinghui.
"Husband...well...husband..."
Before the little girl could react, Huang Tinghui held the little girl in his arms.
He actually held the little girl in his arms while looking for books.
It's just that in the little girl's view, she and her husband are so intimate in someone else's study.
It's really too inappropriate.
But Huang Tinghui didn't care about this, "Lian'er, it's so late, how could anyone come here!"
"No one will see it!"
Huang Tinghui whispered in the little girl's ear.
As he finished speaking, the sound of footsteps came over.
Huang Tinghui was surprised. Is there anyone still up so late?
Before Huang Tinghui could react, he only felt someone tugging on his sleeve.
"Mother, father..."
"Qiaosi can't sleep..."
Huang Tinghui felt helpless through the faint yellow light emitted by the candle lamp.
The appearance of this little guy is really just right!
After lighting all the candles in the study, Huang Tinghui used the light of the oil lamp to hold the little girl's hand with one hand while searching the study.
"Huh!"
Looking at the books on the bookshelf, Huang Tinghui's eyes widened.
At this time, Huang Tinghui finally understood why the old lady of the Jian family said that all the books hidden here were miscellaneous books.
Isn't it a miscellaneous book?
Except for a few enlightened scholar-officials, probably many people would think these books are miscellaneous books!
"The Real Meaning of God", "Catholic Essentials", "Twenty-Five Words", "The Prayer of the Lord", "Hymn to the Virgin", "Catechism"...
In addition to these so-called religious works, there are also books on the bookshelves such as Euclid's "Elements of Geometry", "Tongwen Zhizhi", "Measurement Methods", "Comparison of Circumstances"...
What shocked Huang Tinghui the most was a world map called "The Complete Map of Kunyu and Ten Thousand Kingdoms" on the bookshelf.
At first Huang Tinghui thought that Mr. Jian Ruru was just a Confucian scholar who abided by ethics and had close friendship with Taoist priests.
And judging from the current situation, how can he be an arrogant Confucian?
He is simply a true Confucian scholar of the new era who is at the forefront of history and whose knowledge far exceeds that of the world!
"Hahaha……"
"Hahaha..." Huang Tinghui couldn't help laughing.
"What's the matter, husband?"
"Is there anything strange about these things?"
Seeing her husband laughing, the little girl asked with some confusion.
"Lian'er, do you know where these things come from?" Huang Tinghui asked his wife with interest.
"Where did it come from?"
"Do you still remember the pepper seeds that Brother Zhang Cheng once obtained from the French people, and those talking parrots?"
When asked by Huang Tinghui, the already extremely smart little girl immediately guessed where these things came from.
"Husband, are you saying these things came from the French?"
The little girl opened her mouth wide and said to her husband with a surprised look on her face.

Chapter completed!
