Chapter 191 Mooncake (5)

Seeing the serious look on the girl's face, an unreasonable sour feeling arose spontaneously. Xunzhou moved his lips and said, "Sister Mingtang..."

Does she understand what happened to the Wen family and what she has lost? Maybe it’s because she doesn’t know why she can deal with it so calmly...

But seeing the girl lowering her head to sort out the story book in her hand, Xunzhou couldn't help but said: "If nothing happened to the teacher, you would be the young lady of the Wen family! You... don't have to hang around the stove, you can wear beautiful clothes,

Wear beautiful jewelry, open your mouth when food comes, and stretch out your hands when clothes come. When you reach this age, there will be countless talented people who want to marry Mingtang's sister. They can line up all the way from the Wen family mansion to Mingdefang..."

Not like now...

The more Xunzhou spoke, the more choked up his voice became, until finally he could no longer speak...

After sorting out the notebook in his hand, Wen Mingtang raised his head to face Xunzhou, whose eyes were red, and said: "I like to circle around the stove, Xun... Senior brother Xun doesn't have to do this!"

Xunzhou felt even more sour after hearing this comfort. He suppressed the sour feeling, but did not forget to ask Wen Mingtang: "Sister Mingtang calls me senior brother? But the teacher also taught sister Mingtang how to read?"

Otherwise, why would he call him senior brother?

Wen Mingtang nodded without thinking: "Taught me!"

When Xunzhou heard this, he felt happy and quickly asked Wen Mingtang: "What are you teaching? If sister Mingtang doesn't dislike it, brother Yu can continue to teach..."

Before he finished speaking, Wen Mingtang shook his head and said, "No need, I've finished teaching." After that, he said, "I taught you the Three Character Classic."

Xunzhou: "..."

That's what young children learn when they are enlightened! Faced with the girl's serious expression, Xunzhou twitched the corner of his mouth, but he still praised him and found a way out: "I guess the teacher has already finished teaching the Three Character Classic.

Brother Yu will stop doing whatever he wants!"

Facing the junior sister in front of him who had learned the "Three Character Classic", Xunzhou cheered up again, coughed, and said: "Then I'll leave soon! Let's go to the study to have a look!"

There are a lot of books in the study room. I will pick out a few more books for Sister Mingtang when the time comes. Maybe Sister Mingtang will be interested in other books besides that book?

Guidance in reading needs to be done slowly. If you do it too quickly, you might offend sister Mingtang! Xunzhou thought.

…

…

Although it is a festival, there are many people in the study. There are students gathered in front of the bookshelf of textbooks such as "The Great Learning" and "The Doctrine of the Mean"; there are also literati gathered in front of poems and songs such as "Chu Ci" and "The Book of Songs"

; There are also craftsmen gathered in front of industry guide books such as "The Craftsman's Language" and "The Theory of Clay"... However, these are not as numerous as the people gathered in front of the bookshelf with various language books.

At a glance, there are crowds of people in front of the bookshelf. There are servants and maids who came to grab the latest story book at the request of the master, and more people came to grab the story book themselves. At a glance: scholars, clerks,

Accountants, women, etc., with different statuses and wealth, but they all came together to grab the latest volume of the story book.

The waiter from the study who came out with a stack of the latest word books showed his face, and before he could say anything, everyone rushed forward! The "over-enthusiasm" situation made people who rarely read such "killing time" word books...

Xunzhou was startled.

This... this is too...

In the blink of an eye, Wen Mingtang, who was in front of him just now, has disappeared. Looking at the crowded crowd, Xunzhou took a breath and shouted: "Sister Mingtang?"

When there was no response, Xunzhou's heart skipped a beat and he quickly raised his voice: "Sister Mingtang?"

There were many newcomers who were as startled by the scene in front of them as he was, and they all raised their voices and called out to their companions.

It wasn't until the third voice of "Sister Mingtang" sounded that he noticed someone tugging at the hem of his robe. Xunzhou quickly looked down and saw a head with messy hair.

Wen Mingtang raised his head while holding the book in his hand, waved the book in his hand towards him, and said proudly: "I grabbed it! There is another wave of new books coming, I will take a rest and go back later!"

Xunzhou: "..."

Seeing the girl dusting herself off and standing up in a mess, he couldn't help but said: "Forget it! If sister Mingtang insists on that book, I will grab it for sister Mingtang!"

When Wen Mingtang heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay!"

As expected, she is a highly qualified person, and she really understands the meaning of her words!

After saying that, before Xunzhou, who looked stiff, could react, Wen Mingtang immediately said: "Thank you, Senior Brother Xun!"

Seeing the happy look of the girl in front of him, Xunzhou had an inexplicable feeling that he had jumped into a trap unknowingly.

It's just that she thanked her so quickly, even if she wanted to regret it, it was too late.

Xunzhou had no choice but to roll up his sleeves. When the study clerk appeared again with a stack of story books, he immediately rushed forward!

At first, people may not understand or even disagree with the idea of ​​grabbing a storybook, but after grabbing it a few times, it becomes addictive for no reason.

After grabbing the story books all afternoon, the results were quite fruitful! When he came out of the study, Xunzhou patted his chest happily and said to Wen Mingtang: "Sister Mingtang, next time you want to grab the story books, you can come to Brother Yu!"

After robbing it several times, he also gained some experience.

Wen Mingtang was also very satisfied with Xunzhou's results and immediately nodded: "Definitely..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a voice behind him.

"Master Wen?"

This voice... Wen Mingtang turned around and saw Zhao You holding several oil paper bags in his hands, and behind Zhao You was Lin Fei wearing a blue robe.

Although this outfit is not as conspicuous as the usual scarlet official robes, under the appearance and demeanor, it is quite poetic and picturesque, showing the elegance of a scholar without lacking the power of a powerful official.

Zhao Youdai, who had spoken out, suddenly realized when he saw the stack of story books in her hand: "Why do you think Master Wen said 'sure'? It turned out that he was trying to grab the story book! This story book is indeed very difficult to grab.

It is difficult to grab a new booklet that has just been launched with little effort and experience..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lin Fei behind him.

He stared at the embarrassed Wen Mingtang and Xunzhou in front of him, and his smooth brows twisted up like wrinkles, getting tighter and tighter. After a while, he coughed and said, "What are you talking about?"

Let’s just turn to Zhao You later!”

Zhao You, who was showing off just a moment ago: "..."

Facing the eyes of everyone looking at him, especially Lin Fei's unquestionable eyes, Zhao You was excited and immediately nodded in response: "Okay!"

This response made Xunzhou, who had grabbed the experience, a little disappointed, but looking at the tall Zhao You in front of him and glancing at his red hands when grabbing the storybook, he didn't speak randomly to grab the job.

Night came at a moment's notice! It was still half-dark when he came out of the study, but it had completely darkened by the time he said a word. Seeing the lanterns gradually hanging up all over the street, Lin Fei should go back to enjoy the evening meal with his family.

It's been a month, and before leaving, I didn't forget to remind Wen Mingtang: "Remember to throw our own lanterns at the lantern festival!"

Such a caring look... Wen Mingtang twitched the corner of his mouth when he saw it, but he still nodded.

Seeing Wen Mingtang nodded, Lin Fei left with peace of mind.

Night is coming.
Chapter completed!
