Chapter 201 Qin Xiaowu: I almost got yelled at by the elder sister
Qin Liuxi lived in the Taoist temple for one night, and went back to the city for another stroll. Although he was about to die for the old man in the coffin, he went home to show his face before the time came.
Entering through the corner gate, Qi Huang was sewing needles under the eaves, and Qin Mingchun, who had moved a small table and stool to the side, was reading a book in his hands, but he was quite absent-minded, and even jumped up when he heard the movement of the courtyard door. .
"You're back." Qi Huang smiled and put the needlework back into the small basket, and stood up to meet him.
Qin Mingchun also bowed his hands to Qin Liuxi and saluted: "Big sister, please be well."
"En." Qin Liuxi walked over, picked up his book and read it. It was still a disciple's guide, flipped through it twice, and said, "Why is there no comment? Do you not understand or are you lazy?"
Qin Mingchun said loudly: "I just took it out to read, and I'm not lazy. I understand it, and it's all in my head."
Qin Liu glanced at him westward, and said: "If you understand it, you understand it, but you have to comment on what you understand. That is your own opinion. In the future, even if you read this book by yourself, or pass it on, the other party will be able to see your opinion. Combine your own experience and compare the two. Even if you don’t pass it on, you can keep this book for yourself, and when you read it later, maybe the opinion will be different again, this is the state of mind of all ages.”
"Different ages have different moods when looking at things. Only with notes can you compare them. If you say you remember, then when you grow up, can you remember everything, big or small? A good memory is not as good as a bad pen. Take notes, understand?"
Qin Mingchun nodded, and said timidly: "Understood." He lowered his head, raised his eyelids and glanced at Qin Liuxi, hesitant to speak.
"Speak directly, men don't hesitate like little girls."
Qin Mingchun whispered: "Big sister, our family has been raided, and grandfather and father have been sent into exile, so we are considered the family members of criminal officials?"
"uh-huh?"
"Can the son of a criminal official become an official?" Qin Mingchun asked.
Understood, I'm afraid this brat thinks that hard work can't be exchanged for an official position, it's useless!
"I feel like I'm the son of a prisoner, and I won't have the chance to be an official in the imperial examination in the future, so it's useless to study hard?" Qin Liuxi snapped his finger bones.
When Qin Mingchun heard the crisp sound, his spine felt chills, and his intuition told him that if he said yes, the eldest sister would probably give him a slap in the face.
"I, I just don't get it."
"You'll understand after beating you up!" Qin Liuxi smiled and began to roll up his sleeves.
Qin Mingchun knelt down on the ground with a plop: "Big sister, please spare me, please give me your advice."
Qin Liuxi: "..."
She hasn't beaten yet.
Qi Huang cast a glance at her, and said, "Don't scare him, he's only a young child." She said, reaching out to pull Qin Mingchun, and said, "Little Fifth Young Master, get up, Missy is just teasing you."
Since Qin Mingchun was sent by Qin Liuxi to study in this yard, Qihuang got along with him a little bit more, and he liked this simple and good-looking kid in his heart.
Now seeing that he was frightened by Qin Liuxi, he couldn't bear it.
Qin Mingchun also knew that Qihuang was good, so he hid at Qihuang's feet, looking at Qin Liuxi with a pair of **** and white eyes.
Qin Mingchun felt aggrieved, because he was afraid that you would beat me up.
"It is true that the son of a criminal official cannot become an official, but Qin Xiaowu, how old are you this year?"
"Five, five years old."
"Yes, five years old, the age of bedwetting at night..."
"I don't have one!" Qin Mingchun blushed, he could not be humiliated, saying that he couldn't bear his bedwetting.
Qin Liuxi glanced at him with a half-smile, which made him feel weak. He lowered his head and said, "There really isn't one now."
Qin Liuxi snorted, and said: "The son of a criminal official cannot become an official, but you are only five years old and still studying the Disciple Rules, let alone that there are still many years before you grow up, it is hard to say whether you will be able to get a job. Still want to become an official? Are you a scholar or a juren? How dare you think about something so far away, why don't you go to heaven!"
Qin Mingchun was so scolded that he dared not say a word.
"You are only five years old, but you think about such long-term things. Why don't you think that the future is the most unpredictable and variable? You just think that the Qin family is defeated, and the son of a criminal official cannot be an official. Then why don't you want the Qin family to make a comeback? What? When the time comes, you will not be educated, so what will you do to become an official?" Qin Liuxi poked his forehead with a finger: "Little thing, do you know that opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared?"
Qin Mingchun pursed his lips, tears hung in his eyes, and he dared not shed them.
"Reading will not be useless. Even if you can't become an official after reading a book, you can understand reason, you can argue right from wrong, and even the simplest thing you do with people is to settle accounts. You have to be able to write, calculate, and understand signed contracts The content, right? You don’t know anything, and you just wait to be taken advantage of and be tricked by others? Qin Xiaowu, there are not many children who are suffering in this world, and those who can read are lucky, you, you have to know the good and the bad.”
"I, I see, it's not that I don't want to study, I just ask." Qin Mingchun said sobbingly.
"What is there to ask? Who stipulated that the son of a prisoner cannot study, and who stipulated that he must become an official if he passed the examination? In this court, there is no one who has passed the entrance examination and not become an official? Reading will not treat you badly Your own, let alone read in vain. What you learn from the book is your own, and no one can take it away. Or the same sentence, the simplest, you should also be able to read and write You can read! You don’t know anything, but with this face on your face, it can still write for you?”
"From now on, you are not allowed to ask such stupid questions. I won't answer them even if I ask them. It seems that IQ is low. You, go to school for me in the future, don't think about such a grand thing as an official, you don't deserve to think about it! Just be serious! Read it to me, or I'll beat you up." Qin Liuxi raised his fist.
"oh."
"Go back." Qin Liuxi raised his feet and entered the house.
Qin Mingchun bowed his hands to salute, put the small table and small bench away, picked up his books, and bid farewell to Qihuang.
Qihuang stuffed him with a few candies, and said: "Fifth Young Master, don't be angry with the eldest lady, she is doing it for your own good. Studying is hard, but if you finish it well, there are only benefits and no harm."
"I see, sister Qihuang."
"My servant will take you out." Qi Huang took his hand and walked out of the courtyard, watched him go in the direction of the main courtyard, then turned back to the house, saw that Qin Liuxi had changed his clothes, and said: "He is just a My child, why are you so strict."
"Could it be that I'm still coaxing him? Think about how miserable his first brother is. He doesn't know the blessing in the blessing, and sooner or later he will lose this blessing." Qin Liuxi said: "Don't get used to him, either. He is a bastard, if he is still stupid, he will be useless."
"Good good good."
Qin Liuxi said: "I'll go to the main courtyard to show my face, I have to go out later, prepare some hot water for me to take a bath."
"how?"
"The time has come for Mr. Guan of the coffin shop."
Qihuang was taken aback for a moment, then sighed again.
