9. Reading
Tong Wanqing is among the women in Jiangnan. She has too tall and her legs are too long. The ordinary bathtub is a bit small for her. The one she uses now is specially made for carpenters to make. If you don’t see it outside, the weight is naturally not light.
Xu Xiaole has no meaning for tomorrow's work arrangements. Anyway, as long as Luo Yun is there, he will definitely be the one who works.
I heard that in order to make his son tall and be able to enter the palace to be a general of the Han Dynasty - people who fight ceremonial wars for the emperor like to marry tall women. After several generations, their descendants were not only tall but also strong. The Qianhu master of the Qianhu Office of Suzhou had once loved Tong Wanqing. Who knew that Tong Wanqing was too strong and whoever dared to say the matchmaker would beat him, so he gave up.
Xu Xiaole drove away the mosquitoes, went to bed and put down the mosquito net, and suddenly felt a little stuffy. He changed his breath deeply, and felt a faint fragrance penetrated into his lungs. It was the natural body fragrance of his sister-in-law who did not apply makeup. Xu Xiaole couldn't help but think of the time when his sister-in-law could sleep with her two years ago, and she couldn't help but feel resentment about "hair binding". Her sister-in-law said that after hair binding, she would be a man and she could no longer sleep with her.
Xu Xiaole ran for most of the day, and with the fragrance to help him sleep, he soon fell asleep in a drowsy sleep. He was sleeping very hard, but he didn't know what dreaming felt like. But he started dreaming tonight, which was a sunny afternoon. He walked behind the shack and found the crack that was made of heaven. The sound of water came from the window next to him, and it was his sister-in-law who was bathing.
Xu Xiaole came over, but this time his sister-in-law didn't notice...
Suddenly the earth shook, Xu Xiaole panicked: Did I peek at my sister-in-law's bathing, which actually caused the wrath of heaven and earth?
"Xiaole, wake up, Xiaole!"
Xu Xiaole opened his eyes and saw Luo Yun's big pie-like face.
"You are so ugly today!" Xu Xiaole felt the sun shining and bent his arms to cover his eyes.
Luo Yun heard it inexplicably and said, "Sister Wanqing asked us to work."
Boss Xu Xiaole turned over unhappily: "I have to accumulate energy and study later. If you have any work, please help me."
"Oh...ah? Are you going to study?" Luo Yun was so scared that he took three steps back, wondering if Xu Xiaole was taken over by something unclean. Xu Xiaole just faced the wall, recalling the erotic taste in his dream, and refused to pay attention to Luo Yun.
Luo Yunxin thought it was true and went out to tell Tong Wanqing that Xu Xiaole wanted to study and cultivate her spirit in bed. Tong Wanqing was not stupid, so of course she knew her brother-in-law's nature. She ran upstairs and asked Xu Xiaole to go down to help.
Xu Xiaole heard footsteps on the wooden floor outside on the bed, and knew that his sister-in-law would not be so easy to talk to when she came up. He quickly pulled over his clothes and rolled over, stood barefoot on the ground, looked around the house, finally found a book called "The Analects of Confucius" and read it aloud as if he was pretending to be aware of it.
Tong Wanqing happened to walk to the door and heard the sound of reading inside. She was quite surprised: What medicine did this little slip-on take wrong today? He was actually studying! She thought about it and felt something was wrong: Why did she suddenly read "Zi Yue"? Xu Xiaole's family is a medical household for generations. As long as she can memorize a few medical classics, she can go to the county medical office or Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau to find a job. Could she still go to the Confucian scholars to take the Jinshi exam?
It’s not that he is not good at taking the Jinshi exam, but Tong Wanqing really doesn’t believe that he can pass the exam when he sees his younger brother-in-law. If he really can be a scholar suddenly, he may immediately go to the City God Temple to ask for talisman paper to drive away evil spirits.
"What are you reading?" Tong Wanqing pushed the door and frowned when she saw Xu Xiaole with disheveled hair and disheveled clothes. However, she let go of her worries, because this kind of nonsense was Xu Xiaole's usual style, proving that he was not possessed by evil spirits.
"The Analects of Confucius." Xu Xiaole spoke with confidence.
Tong Wanqing had heard of this book and thought to herself: It was indeed a random reading. She said: "What are you doing when reading the books of Confucian scholars? It is better to memorize medical books well and make a job in the future."
Xu Xiaole was sobbing when she heard this: "Sister-in-law! How can you persuade people not to study? Don't you know that everything is inferior, but only high school students? If I can pass the Jinshi, wouldn't it be better than our family to practice medicine for generations?"
Tong Wanqing laughed: "How many people can only be taken for one Jinshi? I'm afraid that the emperor's family will take ten times, hundreds, and thousands of times more. Well, even ten thousand times more, it will definitely not be taken on you. You don't have to be cheated on you, either study medical books well, or go down to help."
Xu Xiaole had to pretend to be in pain: "Well, I have to go back to my old career and study hard on medical books. Confucius, I can't follow you..."
Tong Wanqing was patiently exhausted, slapped Xu Xiaole on the head, shouting: "Go to the study and study hard, and carry your own bedding over by the way... How long has the mattress been replaced? Why is it sour and smelly? Take it away!"
Xu Xiaole escaped a labor and was happy. He picked up the quilt and went to the study. Although he didn't like the study very much and always felt that there were too many books to make people breathless, he thought that the sister was going to live in, and the guest room and study were close to each other, separated by a staircase from the other two bedrooms. It was really great to think about it!
Xu Xiaole didn't know how glorious his ancestors were, and he didn't even confirm whether the Jinyiwei from Beijing said that Doctor Xu was his great-grandfather. Anyway, his father died when he was very young, and his grandfather only had a name for him. Just the words he heard from neighbors, it seemed that his father was a recognized quack doctor, but his grandfather had no sense of existence at all.
The only evidence that the Xu family is indeed a medical household for generations is the medical books in the study room. There are also many handwritten copies and a few boxes of medical cases left by ancestors of all generations.
In this era when medical skills are equal to lifestyle, family-born doctors have natural advantages and can accumulate more proven prescriptions and medical cases to avoid more detours - detours are human life!
However, these are meaningless to Xu Xiaole. He doesn't like to study medicine at all. His sister-in-law doesn't read much, let alone medical skills, so she just asks him to memorize the books. He can memorize the books, but who will tell him how to use the Yin and Yang and the Five Elements? How to divide the floating and rising counts? What does the nine needles look like? Even if you have learned it, will you go out to collect medicine like your elder brother and die in the mountains?
When Xu Xiaole thought of these problems, the sky became gloomy, so he closed the door and took off the box with the title of the "Nine Spirits True Public" from the bookshelf. This boxwood box was well-crafted and had a thick paste on it, with a rather simple atmosphere. When Xu Xiaole took it out of the book box, there was a note of a certain ancestor, which contained the name of the Baoyou year, and it seemed that it was not the emperor of the national dynasty.
Now lying in this box is Xu Xiaole's "good friend", which is a secret drama that has just recently appeared on the market. These secret dramas are sold publicly in bookshops, just to avoid hindering weathering, the store will cover a layer of gauze outside.
Xu Xiaole is not good at reading, but he is an expert in this. He knows the secret plays of various bookstores well and studies the versions. He knows that the best secret plays are painted by "Ou Botingzhu". I don't know who it is, but every family seems to imitate his paintings.
What Xu Xiaole now cherishes is this set of "Thirty-Six Palaces Pictures", which has a total of 36 paintings, which are written by Ou Bo Pavilion Master, and it is the meaning of "Thirty-Six Palaces are all spring" in Tang poetry. It is also a famous carved version of Qiyue Bookstore in Suzhou. Each painting has a posture, with delicate brushwork and delicate brushwork, and the scene is realistic like a sight.
Xu Xiaole first saw the color and felt his blood rush. After watching it for a long time, he was not only happy, but also a little playful. He also vaguely understood the hardness and softness of the lines, the expressions of the characters, and other appreciation skills in the painting. It can be seen that the secret play is not a simple object of deception.
