Du Lizheng's house, go to the room.

The wedding letter has been decided, and the date for the Du family and Mei family to get engaged and drink, which is on the 28th of this month.

It was a happy event, but Du Lizheng and his wife saw off Mei's family and sat opposite each other in the room. They were both indifference.

Du Li felt that he had lost face and gave the Mei family aside; Li barely maintained his calmness, but was furious.

Li said that to Mrs. Song before, but he didn't take good intentions and wanted to leak out the fact that Du Liujie'er was shameless in love with Mei Sheng, so that serious people would look down on Du Liujie'er. He didn't expect Mrs. Song to misunderstand, but instead tried hard to the Mei family.

Mei Tong was afraid of his birth, or was jealous of Du Liujie'er's dowry, so he found a way to continue the marriage between the two families.

Du Li was reluctantly satisfied. Du Shi and Du Liujie'er and sisters were both relieved. Du Qi was also happy for the two sisters, only Li Shi, and hated him so much.

Fortunately, it was just an engagement and there was still a need to wait to get married, which made Li feel more relieved.

Mei family, go to the room.

Because of the troubles caused by Li's family during the day, the room was not well-deserved and it was still a mess. Du saw it in his eyes and felt embarrassed.

Mei Zhi came over with the girl, looking cold.

Du didn't care about anything else and hurriedly said, "Zhi'er, mom is back!"

Mei Zhi still didn't say anything and just let go of his sister.

The little girl who was a few years old hadn't seen her mother for a long time. She cried a few times, her eyes were red like a little rabbit, and rushed towards Du: "Mom... Where did you go..."

Du squatted down, hugged her daughter in her arms, and looked at the familiar house, and was also scared. If the two families were really loyal, then she really couldn't come back.

"Hmph!" Mei Xiucai glared at his wife fiercely, threw down the curtain and walked out.

Du hurriedly hugged her daughter and chased her: "My husband, I see it's too dark, where are you going?"

"Go to the town, I will have a literary meeting tomorrow, and I will be frustrated when I see you!" Mei Xiucai threw down a sentence and hurriedly left.

Du looked at her husband's back and frowned. Today is only sixteen. How many times has her husband gone to town in half a month?

If her husband hadn't had any abnormalities in changing clothes every time he came back, she would have suspected that there was someone in her husband's town.

The next day, Gui Chongyang followed Mei Xiaoba to the village school.

Mei Tongsheng still didn't come, so he couldn't send someone to send a message. The village school was on holiday for three days and classes resumed on the 20th. Primary school students were naughty. If they stayed directly at the village school and made any mistakes, parents would have to come to Mei Tongsheng, so he thought about the holiday.

Anyway, I have already collected all the money, so it doesn’t matter if I have a holiday.

It was fine for Gui Chongyang and others to be from Mujia Village. They just walked around and went back. Elementary school students in other villages had to complain before leaving with their backpacks on their backs.

Du Qi was unwilling to go home, so he followed Gui Chongyang and said, "What are you doing?"

Yang Wudao: "I'll collect morning croquettes at home, so I'll go home to work!"

After hearing this, Gui Chongyang hurriedly said, "Would you like to help? Let's go and collect it for you too?"

Whether it is the Gui family’s house or the second house, the Yang family and his son both work and work hard, but the Gui family doesn’t have much time to repay.

Yang Wu waved his hand and said, "No, no, there is only a quarter of the backyard. My father and my mother are here, so I need someone to help you wherever you are."

I heard that there was not much land, so Gui Chongyang did not force me. At this time, it was not easy to use people for help. People should prepare food for people. Even if they were not foreign customers, they would have to have two extra dishes.

Du Qi was still staring at Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba with eyes.

Gui Chongyang said: "First go to my house to draw a copybook for half an hour, recite two paragraphs, and then go to the river to catch fish!"

Du Qi looked at Gui Chongyang, his little eyes were swollen and surprised. This fish was fun, but what is the endorsement of this copybook?

"Studying is like walking against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Even if you take a vacation, you cannot slack off." Gui Chongyang said.

In this village school, you can’t count on anything else except reading. Gui Chongyang is not allowed to add additional courses to Mei Xiaoba. Today I added Du Qi, and Gui Chongyang is still the same rule.

Yang Wu's expression escaped. Fortunately, he only lasted one school year and came specifically for literacy. Otherwise, he might have been given homework by his cousin Chongyang.

Mei Xiaoba was used to it. He was not smart at all. If he was not diligent, he would not even be able to keep up with his studies in the village school.

Du Qi looked at Gui Chongyang pitifully and whispered: "No need to start today, right? Why don't you start again tomorrow?"

He is also a person who doesn’t like reading, so he naturally feels tired after listening to this.

Gui Chongyang said seriously: "It's only one hour in total, and it's over soon. Tomorrow and tomorrow, how many tomorrows are there?"

Although Du Qi was tired of his homework, he was unwilling to discourage his friends' interest. Seeing Mei Xiaoba nodding obediently, he swallowed the other words and went to Gui's house with his schoolbag on his back.

*

The Gui family’s old house.

Seeing Du Qi come back with Gui Chongyang and Mei Xiaoba, Mei no longer had the surprise of seeing him for the first time and could deal with it calmly.

"Aunt, the school has three days off and classes start at 20, so I'll come back first. I'll help us cook some delicious food at noon, and Du Qi keeps rice at our house." Gui Chongyang said.

Mei agreed with a smile.

On the contrary, Du Qi said shyly: "Would you be too troubled to my aunt? I have a lot of appetite?"

Mei said: "It's just a meal, what's the heretic? I cut leeks in the morning and bake leek pie at noon." The latter sentence said to Gui Chongyang.

Gui Chongyang nodded and said, "This is good, it is my cousin's favorite food."

But Mei Duo did not come out. Gui Chongyang glanced at Du Qi next to him. I was afraid that Mei Duo would not come out deliberately when he heard the movement outside. Since he learned that the Du family had been in trouble for many years, Mei Duo has been very disgusted with the Du family.

The third boy went to the study room of the West Chamber. Gui Chongyang put out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and took out two copybooks and asked them to copy them.

Du Qi had been studying for several years and had some insight into the copybook. He saw that the copybook was good, better than the one he bought for dozens of taels of silver at home, but looking at the handwriting, it didn't look like it was old. He was curious and looked at Mei Xiaoba's copy, and said in surprise: "Is Xiaoba's "Three Character Classic" what Xiaoba is coming to?"

Mei Xiaoba nodded and said, "That's it, I just happened to learn this."

"But where can I use the Three Character Classic to make copybooks?" Du Qi said inexplicably.

Gui Chongyang not only asked Mei Xiaoba and Du Qi to copy the calligraphy, but also wrote a copy of the "Sutra of Ksitigarbha Sutra" by himself. Hearing this, he put down his brush and said, "Where are the rules that cannot be used?"

Du Qiyi was stunned for a moment, because there was no unusable rule, but most of the copybooks were written by celebrities, which is also the reason why they were sold at a high price. But how many celebrities went to write "Three Character Classic" to sell?

Du Qi looked at the "Great Learning" in his hand, then looked at Mei Xiaoba's "Three Character Classic" and read it for a long time.

"What are Brother Du Qi looking at?" Mei Xiaoba said in confusion.

"The beginning and ending of this word is almost the same. Did this copybook be written by one person?" Du Qi suddenly realized.

Mei Xiaoba looked at Du Qi like an idiot: "Of course it's just one person, it's all written by Brother Chongyang!"

"Ah?" This time, Du Qi was surprised: "This...isn't this a copybook bought from outside?"

Mei Xiaoba pointed to a book box in the corner of the study and said proudly: "Of course not, there is a box there. Brother Chongyang said, I will change the book for me to copy as much as I learn!"

Du Qi widened his eyes. Although he had never seen Gui Chongyang's homework to learn, just looking at the handwritten handwriting in front of him was far better than those scholars in the county school.

"Double Ninth Festival, why don't you end up? If you finish, you may be a twelve-year-old scholar?" Du Qi exclaimed.

Gui Chongyang smiled bitterly. He was indeed ready to end the last year's Tongshuo Trial, but "Dad" refused. He said that he was only eleven years old and was the time to have fun and play. The genius worked too hard and didn't want to be a "little genius". Even if he was curious and wanted to try it, he would have to be fourteen years old.

"The trees are fascinated by the forest, and the wind will destroy them." This is even more so for literati. Is Zhongyong's father the only one who did the wrong thing in "harm Zhongyong"? Some of those who disturb Zhongyong's study plan in the name of a child prodigy were unintentional, while others were intentional.

Later, without it, Gui Chongyang was mourning for three years and could not play a small show, and he would be fourteen years old when he could end up the next year. At this time, it was not too early to get a child test, and it was also in line with the plan of "dad".

Du Qi saw that Gui Chongyang did not speak, and his eyes fell on the scriptures in front of him. After he saw clearly, it was the "Sutra of Ksitigarbha Sutra", he remembered that he was still in filial piety and could not end up. He immediately said uneasy: "Dongyang, I'm sorry..."

Gui Chongyang did not let go of his heart, shook his head, looked at the hourglass and said, "Write quickly, after copying the copybook, you can just write me the old article."

Du Qi honestly agreed and went back to concentrate on copying the calligraphy.

Because the desk is big enough, the three teenagers are lying on their heads.

Mei Xiaoba was able to read. Although she was copying calligraphy, each character was written very much, and even a few words could not be written on a piece of paper.

After all, Du Qi has been in the imperial examination for five years and his calligraphy is not bad, but he doesn't want to be underestimated by his friends. He is extra serious and slows down his speed.

Here in Gui Chongyang, when I lifted my pen again, I was in a state of concentration without distraction. My little face was tightly tight, and I wrote down the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" one by one.

The window was open, and Mei walked under the window and saw the side faces of several boys. When she saw Mei Xiaoba and Gui Chongyang, she was naturally relieved and proud.
