The Wentang in Cao's Mansion is not in the back house, but a large room next to the back house. The room is spacious and bright, very empty, about four or five hundred square meters, and there are several large pillars in the middle.

As the name suggests, Wentang is a place to study, but not to study for the children of the Cao family, but to study together by the Cao family’s female children. It is not only a scholarly family, but also to study in order for them to take care of their husbands and children after marriage.

But today, there is no need to study, all the tables and chairs are removed, and it looks quite lively inside. From time to time, young children are excitedly rushing in.

"This is Wen City!" Cao Xing pointed to Wentang and smiled and said to Li Yanqing.

"What Wen City?" Li Yanqing didn't quite understand.

"You'll know when you go in."

Li Yanqing was pulled into the big room by Cao Xing and found fifty or sixty young men and women gathered in the lobby, which was very lively. There were a circle of tables by the wall, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the table, and a cardboard box on each table.

"Wenshi and Wushi are the most interesting activities in every magpie banquet, creating an opportunity for communication for everyone. Although it may not be available every time, it happens to be there today. This is Wenshi. You can come here to set questions or do questions. If you are selected by the questioner, you will be rewarded."

Cao Xing looked around the table and smiled and said, "I'm so sorry. Thirty tables are full. I can only do the questions. Pay attention to the questions on the wall and put them in the carton after answering the questions."

Li Yanqing suddenly became interested. At this time, he saw a couplet and was about to come forward, but Cao Xing pulled it away, "That's a red case, which means that a man asked questions, only a woman could answer questions, and a man could only look at a green case."

So that's it. Li Yanqing saw the green case next to him. He looked up at the question on the wall and saw that the question paper said: 'Please try to analyze "Fragrant in the Courtyard? The Mountains are smearing the Clouds"'.

Li Yanqing laughed. This was a female fan of Qin Guan. The title was signed by Pan Qianyunniang. Li Yanqing looked at the carton again, and half a box of answer sheets had been piled up inside.

Li Yanqing was about to pick up the pen, but Cao Xing pulled it away again.

"What does Xiaosanlang say?" Li Yanqing looked at him helplessly.

"You are Tanhua. Once you take action, you will take away the prizes. Can you leave some opportunities for others?"

"Then I can only see?"

"No need, it doesn't matter if you answer a question. I'll find a recognized difficult question for you."

Cao Xing pulled Li Yanqing to a green desk inside. Five or six young children had gathered here, all of whom were waiting to answer the questions. The box was almost full, and it seemed that this question was very interesting.

Li Yanqing looked up at the wall and saw a line of beautiful boys on it, "Yun Niang collects couplets for the study."

Cao Xing laughed in a low voice, "Yun Niang is the daughter of my third uncle. She has a famous female nerd from the Cao family. She loves books as much as her life. Other girls have money to buy makeup and jewelry. She doesn't like it. She just buys books. Her boudoir turned into a study room. The collection of books is almost up to my grandfather. Everyone calls her Shu Niang. She has collected a couplet for her study since she was eight years old, but there is still no one that satisfies her."

"Since that's the case, she'll just write one for herself."

"Of course she wrote for herself, but she also wanted to ask the masters outside to write one for her."

"How old is this book lady in your family?"

"I'm still young!" Cao Xing replied vaguely.

This was the first time Li Yanqing heard that a young lady who was fond of books was like life. He was quite respectful. When it comes to the couplet in the study, the one he wrote for his master back then was the best, and he had a few more to take out.

At this time, the first four people finished writing, Cao Xing encouraged him and said, "Leave a couplet for me, a nerd sister! Encourage this little lady, otherwise her mother would yell to burn books again."

Li Yanqing felt a little sympathy in his heart, and then spread a piece of paper and picked up a pen and wrote:

Reading books to gain the right, reading easy to gain change, reading sensuality to gain the quiet, reading sect to gain the cleverness, reading Chinese to gain the firmness, reading Chinese to gain the most interesting years;

He is in the same wild as chrysanthemums, sparse as plum, clean as lotus, fragrant as orchid, and charming as begonia, and he must call himself a god in the flowers.

"Good calligraphy!"

As soon as Li Yanqing picked up the pen, Cao Xing couldn't help but praise him.

After writing the signature, Li Yanqing of Xiangzhou felt something was wrong. The couplet had been given to the master. He smiled and said, "This one is not good, I'll write another one."

"No! No! I'll give her this one too. If you write another one and let her choose it for herself, she might not be more fond of it."

Li Yanqing stopped insisting and wrote another picture with his pen:

The sound of wind and rain sounds of reading, the sound of sounds enters my ears.

The country, family affairs, the world is concerned about everything.

He mentioned his name, and when the ink was dry, he carefully stacked it and put it in a cardboard box.

"Do you want to go to Wushi? Gao Chong should practice guns there!" Cao Xing suggested again when he walked out of Wentang.

Li Yanqing nodded happily, "Okay! I really want to admire his shooting skills."

"You go first, I may have something to do first, I will come to you later."

"It's okay! Brother Cao is going to do it."

Cao Xing recruited a servant and said to him: "Take my friend to Wushi, don't neglect it."

The servant quickly agreed, and Li Yanqing bowed to Cao Xing, "Then I'll go first."

"Yanqing will go first, I'll come soon."

Cao Xing looked at Li Yanqing with a smile, and suddenly his smile disappeared, he turned around and ran into Wentang, pushed away several young children who were queuing up to write couplets, picked up the cardboard box and left.

Everyone was anxious and quickly stopped him, "Xiaosanlang, what are you doing?"

"The box is full, here is over. You can go and answer other questions!"

"We have been waiting for this opportunity for half a year, you can't"

Cao Xing ignored them, so he tore off the question from the wall, pushed everyone away and ran away, making several young men stomped their feet behind and cursed.

...........

The back house of Cao's mansion covers an area of ​​40 acres, with ten courtyards and hundreds of houses of all sizes. Cao Ping and his seven sons live. Of course, the Cao family is more than this house, but there are several large houses in the capital. Cao Ping's nephews live. This is the ancestral home, which can only be lived by the head of the family and his descendants.

Integrated with the back house is the back garden covering an area of ​​more than 60 acres. It is covered with large trees and is full of strange flowers and plants. A green pond is 20 acres. There are dozens of exquisite pavilions and towers, various treasures and rocks, small bridges and flowing water, which are magnificent, as if they are a fairyland.

Cao Xing ran along a long straight alley and ran to the Wenmei Courtyard where Uncle San lived, and happened to see Yunniang's little sister Cao Jiaojiao.

"Jiaojiao, is your sister here?"

"Da Shuniang was pulled away by the girl Yun, but she refused to tell me where to go?" Cao Jiaojiao was only seven years old and liked kittens in particular. She had raised several kittens, and it was obvious that she was very unhappy and pouted.

"It's strange. It's really rare to not be in the study today!" Cao Xing said to himself and stuffed the cardboard box to Cao Jiaojiao. "It's very important to put this in your elder sister's study. Be careful. I'll take you to buy cat food in two days."

"Lie to me as a puppy!"

"When did the third brother fool Jiaojiao? Put the box in the study room quickly and I'll go find your sister."

Cao Jiaojiao became happy again, held the cardboard box and jumped toward Ajie's study.

Cao Xing thought about it and ran to the back garden again. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the back garden, he saw his two sisters, Yun Niang and Yun Niang walked back with a smile.

Mr. Cao Ping has seven sons and has given birth to fifteen grandchildren and nine granddaughters. Four of them are already married, and three granddaughters are still young and are not young to get married. Only Cao Yun and Cao Yun’s two granddaughters are sixteen years old.

Cao Yun is the daughter of the second family, Cao Yun is the eldest daughter of the third family, and the two little ladies are born in the same year and month. Cao Yun is a few days older. Although they are the same age, their appearance and figure are completely different, and their personalities are also very different.

Cao Yun is slightly short, plump in shape, white skin, round and smooth, smiling like a flower, and looks very pretty. Cao Yun has a slender figure, skin like a cream, and looks extremely beautiful. His beautiful eyes are like autumn water and smoke, which is particularly deep and quiet.

Their personalities are exactly the opposite. Cao Yun is extroverted and enthusiastic, while Cao Yun is subtle and gentle, and his heart is as calm as water.

Cao Xing repeatedly compared it and wanted to match Li Yanqing with the more attractive sixth sister Cao Yun.

"Yunniang, I'm looking for you everywhere."

"What's the matter with us, Brother Third?" Cao Yun asked first.

"I didn't look for you!"

Cao Xing gave her a blank look and said to Cao Yun: "Your literary market is over, I have helped you carry the cardboard box back."

"Thank you, third brother!" Cao Yun smiled with a smile.

"Isn't it still half an hour to end?" Cao Yun asked again.

"You have many problems!"

Cao Xing glared at Cao Yun with dissatisfaction, "Your mother is looking for you everywhere in the front yard, as if she is asking you to go on a blind date, hurry up!"

"I want to send me away, hum! I won't leave."

Cao Yun held Cao Yun's hand and smiled, "Let's go and see your Wen City. I wonder if you have any gains this time?"

"Thank you, my third brother, for helping you get it back, I'll go back first."

Cao Xing couldn't say a word, and watched the two little ladies join hands and go back. He wanted to praise Li Yanqing a few words, but Cao Yunzai, who was outspoken, would probably backfire.
