Another year of summer, the scorching summer heat caused the hot air to curl up on the Yangtze River, blowing along the river wind into the county town.
It was a hot summer day, so hot that the leaves on the roadside were drooped by the sun.
Yesterday, Zhao Ying'er introduced a house to Zhu Kui. After successfully placing the order, Zhu Kui presented him with a revised volume of "The Butterfly" as promised. The story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, the love story is naturally the most arousing to girls.
attention, and the story of the talented man and the beautiful woman is the one that our ladies can most relate to.
"Brother Kui, why can't girls go to school? Then Zhu Yingtai pretends to be a man and sneaks around." As soon as Zhao Ying'er read it, she had the first question, which was very similar to hers.
When Zhao Bancheng was little, she only asked her husband to come back to teach literature and calligraphy, and all she read were books like "Women's Training". She originally wanted to ask her father to send her to the Lujiang Zhou Family Middle School to go to school with those children from distant relatives, but instead
He was reprimanded and dismissed by Zhao Bancheng.
Zhao Bancheng also knew that his daughter would lose her spirituality as a young girl if she stayed at home all year round, so he taught him how to do business from a very young age. On the one hand, since he never had a son, he wanted to cultivate a successor who would come to him in the future.
On the other hand, I also hope that my daughter will have a goal and sustenance in her life.
Zhu Kui scratched his head. This question is really difficult to answer. Since the maternal society evolved into a male society, and then the establishment of Zhou rites, the male-dominated society has continued for more than two thousand years and is still superior to women's rights. After thinking about it, he can only
He replied vaguely: "It should be that Confucius hoped that a woman's lack of talent would be a virtue."
This statement did not exist in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and was mentioned by later Neo-Confucian scholars. But Confucius must also be a male chauvinist, Zhu Kui thought, otherwise later generations of disciples would not be able to understand this statement.
"You're talking nonsense. I've read The Analects of Confucius, but it didn't say anything like this." Zhao Ying'er glanced at her, curiously picked up a bamboo slip with Zhu Kui's good calligraphy, and flipped through it, with a look of longing on her face.
, said with a slight smile: "Brother Kui, you must have read a lot of books. It seems that these stories of yours also include knowledge about making money in business. I also have many books hidden at home, but why don't they involve these business matters?
"
"Can I teach Ying'er in the future?"
Zhang Wen thought about the book about business. These days, businessmen are low-level people. In the past six months, he has watched Zhao Ying'er get involved in her father's business step by step. She is very talented in financial management and has many business ideas in her mind.
, you might as well teach her a good lesson.
"Second Miss wants to learn, it's natural. If you want to ask anything in the future, just ask, Zhu Kui will tell you everything he knows."
"Really?" Zhao Ying'er came close to Zhu Kui's face with excitement on her face, blowing her breath like orchids. From that joy, it was obvious that she was also a good girl who loved to learn.
Hearing the happy laughter so close to him, Zhu Kui's face turned slightly red, pretending not to notice, he looked sideways, understanding the girl's thoughts, and suddenly pushed his forehead forward gently, with a affirmative tone.
Said: "Haha, it's true, it must be true, it's more real than real money and silver!"
"Ouch! It hurts!" Zhao Ying'er rubbed her forehead with one hand, frowned, and hit Zhu Kui's arm with a pink fist in her other hand, muttering: "You hurt me, you have to compensate me."
"Write down all the money-making ideas you know and let me read and learn from them."
Zhu Kui enjoyed the massage of the pink fist without hesitation, it was like scratching an itch, he felt extremely comfortable, and begged for mercy playfully: "Okay, okay, I'll write, can't I write it? I'll give it to you in a few days.
.”
Such unrelated banter and banter once again brought the familiarity between the two closer.
Suddenly, a shy blush appeared on Zhao Ying'er's face. This was the first time she had acted like a spoiled child in front of outsiders. She had only acted like a spoiled child in her father's arms and with her sister since she was a child. Others, the shopkeepers in the store, and the guys
, they all treated her as their young master, loving her with respect, and no boy of the same age dared to touch her forehead.
Renren rolled her eyes at Zhu Kui very touchingly, making the latter confused. Then Zhao Ying'er suddenly lowered her head and thanked her with a buzzing sound: "Thank you, Brother Kui, I'll leave first..."
Zhu Kui shouted "Brother Kui" so loudly that his bones softened, and even his cervical vertebrae felt a little soft. Looking at the girl who was only ten years old, she had a shy look like that of Huaichun, and she flew away as if she was running away.
.
During the Eastern Han Dynasty, men matured earlier and women matured earlier, Zhu Kui thought...
－－－－－－－－－－－－－
Now that I have bought a house and have a place to stay in the county, my life is naturally stable. It is time to take over my job and move to the city to live a better life.
I took another three days off with Zhao Bancheng, and I couldn't wait to go home and prepare to pick up someone.
After leaving the city gate, Zhu Kui and Wang Cheng borrowed a big donkey cart from a restaurant. A bamboo pole carried a big cabbage and dropped it in front of the donkey. The little donkey ran step by step, just like going out.
Playful and freehand.
He raised his head and saw that the sun was in the sky, so he took out the dry food prepared in front of the morning gate and drank it with water. He and Wang Cheng each had a portion.
"A Cheng, have you bought a gift for your fifth sister? When you came home two months ago, you didn't buy it, but she complained that you were ungrateful for a long time. She complained about you and forgot about the old things in the village when she entered the city.
I'm here." Zhu Kui ate and drank while laughing and chatting.
"I forgot about your third brother last time when you didn't give me money. These fifth sisters all know that she blamed you." As soon as Wang Cheng changed his subject, he blamed Zhu Kui.
"You are making excuses. If you ask for money, will I not give it to you? It's because you didn't take it to heart. I gave you a few coins a few days ago, but you can't blame me anymore." Zhu Kui slapped him.
Pat the other person's small shoulder and approach.
"If I have money in my hands, I will naturally not forget it. Look!" Wang Cheng took out an exquisite jade bracelet from the baggage on his chest. It was engraved with a flower pattern that Zhu Kui didn't recognize. It seemed to be worth a lot of money. When he introduced it,
He said: "This is the pocket money you gave me for two months. In addition to what you gave me a few days ago, I asked Miss Ying'er to buy it for me."
Zhu Kui took the hand and looked at it towards the sun. It was emerald green and translucent, and it was a fine jade. He returned it and said with a straight face: "You are troublesome. How can your two months of pocket money be enough to buy such a good thing?"
The bracelet must have been put on by Miss Ying for you. You have worked so hard, and I will blackmail her into writing a book next time." Then his face changed again, and he looked like a bitter melon.
"Then you don't want to teach me how to write that novel. Cheng'er is literate and can help you." Wang Cheng once again proposed the idea of learning to write a book.
"Don't mention this. You can't write anything with the ink in your belly. Besides, your mission is to learn classic military books well so that you can enhance the reputation of your Wang family in the future. How can you spend your time on such trivial matters?" Zhu Kui educated.
Zhu Kui took out his baggage, untied a corner, pointed at the silk skirt inside, and sighed with some affection and some worry: "It's not a good thing to pamper your fifth sister so much that she will go to heaven in the future."
Not to mention this, Zhu Kui sighed while chatting with Wang Cheng.
On the official road not far ahead of them, a thin man and about twenty people were hiding in the forest. When he saw Zhu Kui driving the carriage slowly, he shouted to his men: "That boy is here, get ready.
"
He gave the order, and his men immediately became busy. Arrows were loaded on the bows, swords were unsheathed, and the killing intent was so fierce that the birds in the forest flew away in fright.
Zhu Kui swallowed the last bite of the cake, burped, and planned to ask Wang Cheng to drive the car. He squinted his eyes to rest for a while, but suddenly he felt something was wrong. Cicadas had been chirping all the way out of the city, and he saw birds flying in the forest from time to time.
Yes, why is it gone here?
"Um..."
Suddenly, he saw a flash of light in the forest, like the light of a knife, and he felt a slight shiver in his heart, thinking: I will never encounter bandits! I have never heard of bandits on this road. I thought to myself, and caught him
He picked up the dragon scale dagger beside him, kicked the donkey's butt hard, pulled up Wang Cheng who was still unaware, and then the two of them got under the car.
In fact, when the donkey ran wildly, the speed was very fast, which was very impressive.
When the thin man saw the donkey cart suddenly speeding up and running wildly, he thought he had been exposed and did not dare to neglect. He shouted loudly: "Shoot." Suddenly, arrows flew straight towards the carriage like a rain. In an instant, the donkey pulling the cart was killed.
The arrow hit the ground and crashed to the ground. The cart behind it also fell to the ground along with the suddenly dead donkey. The upward wooden wheel kept spinning there unwillingly. The wooden planks on the donkey cart were shot like hedgehogs.
Generally, the arrows on it are densely packed.
"See if this kid is still alive, let's go down.
After saying that, the thin man walked out of the forest first, followed by about twenty people with knives and bows.
