All Hail Cousin Brother

Zhou Linghuai's eyes darkened.

Back then, after I met Mr. Xianyun, after Mr. Xianyun left Beijing, there were rumors in Youzhou that he had solved the Zhencong chess game: "Lang Yan is unique, unique in the world, Tan Lang!"

Yu Youyao took his cousin's hand and asked carefully, "Cousin, don't you like this poem?"

Zhou Linghuai came back to his senses, and bent the corner of his mouth lightly: "I like it." After speaking, he said again: "I'll test your schoolwork again."

The questions he asked were the content of the "Four Books and Five Classics", but the test method was tricky. Yu Youyao had a solid foundation in learning, and although he could not say that the answers were fluent, he could still answer them.

After a dozen exams, Yu Youyao was nervous, sweating on her back and wrinkling her little nose: "Cousin's questions are so difficult! It feels like I have learned it, and it feels like I haven't learned it..."

Zhou Linghuai chuckled: "The contents of the "Four Books and Five Classics" have many things in common. Basically, you can understand one of them thoroughly, and then you can easily learn the next one, such as "The Book of Rites", which also talks about "The Doctrine of the Mean". After you have thoroughly studied the Book of Rites, some related content in the "Four Books and Five Classics" will naturally pass, and I am not setting the questions based on what you have learned, but on your mastery of your homework."

Yu Youyao pouted.

Zhou Linghuai handed her a cup of tea: "Cousin's schoolwork is good, and the progress of the later studies can be accelerated."

Only then did Yu Youyao feel happy. After answering the question for a long time just now, she was really thirsty. When the tea was handed to her hand, she quickly took it: "Thank you cousin."

When Yu Youyao drank tea, Zhou Linghuai told her the question just asked.

After Yu Youyao listened to it, some areas that she didn't know enough about were also clear, and there was a feeling of clearing the clouds.

After that, Zhou Linghuai took the piano test again.

After Yu Youyao burned the incense and cleaned her hands, she sat in front of the qin and played a piece of "Qin Fu". So far, she has only learned three pieces in total. Among them, "Qin Fu" is the most simple, because Mr. Ye Nv played the qin to the rain. Influenced by the sound of the piano, "Fuqin" is also the best.

It's just that compared to Mr. Ye Nu's qin sound, which is clear, strange, light, distant, and cold, her qin sound should be more tactful, revealing a kind of lingering meaning of spring rain.

The little girl sits in front of the violin, she is soft and delicate, but her color is fresh and soft, and her form is elegant and quiet.

After the song was over, Zhou Linghuai heard the melody of the piano in his ears, lingering in his heart, and he was so stunned that he couldn't come back to his senses, until the little girl's gentle voice rang in his ears: "Cousin, how am I playing? I've been practicing this "Qin Fu" for a long time, and I originally planned to play it for my cousin under the Qingwu tree in two days."

Zhou Linghuai suddenly came back to his senses, and looked at Qingwu outside the window, Wu played the piano, Yaoqin eBay, but it was an elegant thing: "The sound of the piano is clear, and my cousin is very talented."

Yu Youyao's eyebrows were raised: "I was instructed by Mr. Ye Nu, and of course my cousin taught me well."

He didn't know if he was praising him or praising himself, Zhou Linghuai chuckled lightly.

After Zhou Ling was pregnant with homeschooling, Yu Youyao couldn't stand it anymore, and hurriedly took the Pai and En medicine liquid of the rhinoceros and went to the Qingyuanyuan to find Sun Bo.

When he got the medicinal liquid, Sun Bo was so excited that his long beard was shaking, he couldn't wait to open the small jade bottle, put it in his nose and smelled it again, then took a silver needle and dipped a little medicinal liquid into his mouth. .

Before Yu Youyao could open his mouth to ask, Uncle Sun danced with excitement like a madman: "Yes, yes, this is it, haha," while laughing, he also ran to the pharmacy, with some staggering feet in the past, This time, he ran very fast, and even his hunched waist was straightened at this moment.

Yu Youyao wanted to ask about Baoyuandan, so she chased after her with her skirt, but as soon as she walked to the door of the pharmacy, she heard Sun Bo: "I want to make Baoyuandan, don't disturb me."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Yu Youyao to speak, she closed the door with a "clang". Fortunately, Yu Youyao responded quickly, so she hurriedly took a step back, otherwise her little nose would suffer.

After returning without success, Yu Youyao was a little disappointed, but thinking of Sun Bo's excellent medical skills, it would not take long to make Baoyuan Dan, and feeling happy, she went back to the room to read the ledger.

After taking her mother's dowry account book from her grandmother, Yu Youyao took time every day to look through the account book, which had accumulated for many years. It was not an easy task to figure it out at once. , it is also very laborious, and I am afraid that it will not be able to figure out in a while.

After a while, Dongmei came back and reported that the gift list for everyone in the house was ready. Yu Youyao took a general look and felt that there was no problem: "Send the gift over there!"

When Dongmei has a word, she will arrange it.

After getting the benefits, the house must praise the eldest lady for her kindness, kindness, and generosity, but Yang Shuwan was stunned to death. Thinking of the support point that she gave out before, she almost ripped the veil to pieces. Being cautious, I only sent a set of red gold heads, and I didn't pick out, and I didn't make mistakes. In this way, it was inevitable that the second room's Yao shi would be crushed, and I felt unhappy again.

Before I knew it, it was April.

After Mrs. Yu finished copying a Buddhist scripture, she asked Qingxiu to help her out of the Buddhist hall.

Madam Liu lifted the curtain and walked in cheerfully: "Old Madam, the imperial court has published the list, and the re-examination before the palace examination is scheduled to be held in the Hall of Preserving Harmony on April 10, and on the 26th of April, the imperial examination will be held in the Hall of Preserving Harmony. , There is a lot of commotion outside, and everyone is discussing this."

Mrs. Yu also laughed when she heard the words: "It's settled, and this hanging heart has a place to fall."

Madam Liu smiled: "Isn't that true? The scientific examinations held every three years, even those of us in the house are nervous and exhausting, not to mention the students who take the exams."

Madam Yu said while twirling the Buddha beads: "The re-examination in front of the palace can't be sloppy. After the palace test is over, the candidates' rankings should also refer to the results of the re-examination. Send a nanny who knows the rules to go to the house arranged by the clan. On the other hand, tell the disciples who participated in the re-examination about the rules in the palace. The rules in the palace are big, and they are also very particular. Every year, candidates are disqualified from taking the test because of mistakes in etiquette. ."

Madam Liu responded, listening to the old lady explaining something.

In the Yuyu Courtyard, the green leaves on the Qingwu trees are covered with shade, holding a huge green umbrella like jade and blue clouds, covering most of the Yuyu Courtyard in shade. painting.

Yu Youyao followed her cousin's copybook and practiced her calligraphy meticulously, when she heard Xia Tao come over and report, "Miss, Madam Liu is here."
