Chapter 386: Deeply Shocked
After eating a full bowl of sugar-watered eggs cooked by grandma, Pomegranate felt her whole chest was full of warmth.
This is the feeling of home. No matter how far away from home you are, people always want to go home.
Because at home, there are family members who are looking forward to it!
After walking a long way, I had to eat a bowl of sugar water. Xichun and Nianxia were busy cooking a big pot of it, and they all ate it for Hu Zhen and Wu Ping.
After eating the sugar water, Pomegranate asked Jinhua to follow Fudong to settle down. The bed where Lianqiu had slept was just free for her.
As for Wu Ping and the others, they should go to the small courtyard of the carpentry room to stay temporarily.
Pomegranate took a good bath and changed her clothes. Not long after, Li Rongzhang went home from school.
As usual, he said hello to Mr. Yuan at home and was about to go back to his room to do his homework. However, he suddenly caught a glimpse of his second sister’s room door open. He was stunned and suddenly overjoyed, “My second sister Are you back?”
“Second sister!” He ran towards the house.
Pomegranate is sorting out the things she brought back. She is thinking of sending the things to her eldest cousin, third uncle and fourth uncle first, as well as the Pu'er tea for the eldest uncle and the patriarch's grandpa, which are her own, waiting for her parents to come back tomorrow. Now, let’s give it to everyone together.
Seeing my younger brother running in, I couldn't help but smile: "School is over? How are your studies lately? I've been away from home for two months, have you read well? Come here and let me take a look."
"Second sister, how can you ask me about my studies as soon as I come back? Did you bring me any gifts on this trip to the south?" Li Rongzhang walked over with his book bag on his back and looked into the cage curiously.
“Let’s take a look at your studies first. If you are satisfied with it, you can get it. If you are not satisfied, I won’t give it to you.” Shiliu took the hair out to Fu Dong and asked her and Xichun to send it to several houses, and then Go and sit down at the desk beside you.
Li Rongzhang twitched the corner of his mouth. He taught her the second sister's calligraphy. I really don't know where the second sister got the confidence to test his knowledge.
With this in mind, Li Rongzhang went over and sat down, looking at Pomegranate, waiting for her to question.
"Chapter 10 of "The Great Learning", memorize it."
When Li Rongzhang heard this, he was full of confidence, "It is said that to govern a country, one must first bring order to his family. He who cannot teach at home can teach others. , there is no such thing. Therefore, a gentleman does not become a monk and becomes a filial person."
After reciting it in one breath, Li Rongzhang raised his eyebrows at Shiliu, "I've finished memorizing it, second sister."
I thought that he had memorized the four books by heart, and it was really not difficult for the second sister to test him. Besides, Even if he recited it wrong, the second sister would definitely not know it. She has never learned it.
But the second sister is also doing it for his own good, so he doesn’t reveal that the second sister clearly doesn’t understand and pretends to understand! As long as the second sister is happy, just take the exam!
Pomegranate nodded and continued: "Have you finished reading the book on salt and iron that I bought for you last time?"
Li Rongzhang's scalp tightened, "I haven't read the previous volume yet. ."
"Then recite "Wrong" "Coin" article. "
Li Rongzhang swallowed nervously, "The doctor said: 'The money is not enough for the people, but the things are combined. If the people are hungry, there is something to hide. Also, the wise man...the wise man."
"A wise man has the merit of a hundred people." Seeing that the wise man couldn't finish it for a long time, Pomegranate couldn't help but remind him.
After her reminder, Li Rongzhang had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and he remembered some more, and hurriedly recited, "A wise man has the merits of a hundred people, and a fool has a failure to change his roots. If the ruler is not harmonious, the people will suffer. The wealth of all people is like this... Therefore, the master accumulates his food, his food, his food."
"Keep it in use and control its surplus,"
"Yes! Keep its purpose, control There's more!" Li Rongzhang thought about it and continued to carry it, but suddenly stopped and looked at Shiliu with wide eyes, "Second sister, how do you know? Have you ever read this Salt and Iron Theory?" br>
Pomegranate rolled her eyes at him, "Do you mean you've read the previous volume? You can't even recite the third volume. Little brother, you can't do that."
Li Rongzhang's face turned red after being told that he couldn't do it, but he was even more surprised. It was obvious that his second sister didn't go to school, and he taught her literacy. How could the second sister know about the theory of salt and iron because she was busy doing business every day? He couldn't memorize it. The local second sister can remind him, just once, but it can happen again and again. This cannot be said to be a coincidence.
Li Rongzhang swallowed.
So, the second sister is more familiar with the theory of salt and iron than he is? !
With this realization, Li Rongzhang was extremely horrified.
He felt that all his books had been read in vain.
"Second sister, when did you read The Theory of Salt and Iron?" Pomegranate said lightly, "Oh, I didn't tell you, I also have every book I bought for you. I just read it when I have nothing to do, just to pass the time."
Li Rongzhang felt that he had been extremely shocked.
Just killing time?
“Second sister, you should have only read The Theory of Salt and Iron, right?”
"No, I've read it all."
"Then you can't memorize it all, right?"
"Well, there are more than 60,000 words, how can you memorize them all? .”
Li Rongzhang just breathed a sigh of relief.
“I can probably carry most of it.”
Poof -
Li Rongzhang felt like he was vomiting blood in his heart.
Don't save him, he is hopeless!
His face was changing as if he had opened a dyeing workshop. After a moment, Li Rongzhang sighed sadly and took a deep look at Pomegranate, "Second sister, stop talking, I'm convinced."< br>
"Is it enough to just accept it? You go to school every day, and there are gentlemen with scholarly reputations to teach you, but you can't memorize it. Do you think this makes sense? Li Rongzhang, you can't do it." Pomegranate raised an eyebrow.
Li Rongzhang was dumbfounded, "Second sister, why did your mouth become so poisonous after traveling so far?" However, he couldn't endorse the second sister's words, which is really embarrassing when you think about it!
"Perhaps I inspired the poisonous tongue skill?" Pomegranate smiled coldly, "Then you have to be careful."
Li Rongzhang's scalp tightened at her sneer and he hurriedly grabbed her Book bag, ready to run away, "Second sister, don't worry, I will work hard, hard, and hard!"
< br>"So, I haven't memorized a single volume of Salt and Iron Theory for two months. When can I memorize even two volumes?"
"Three months?" Li Rongzhang asked tentatively, seeing his second sister. With an expressionless face, he quickly changed his words, "I think two months...oh no, one month! One month will do!"
Pomegranate smiled, "Okay, in one month, the second sister will come back to test you for the first two papers."
Li Rongzhang's back was soaked with sweat, and he didn't wait until now, "Second sister, I'll go first Go back to your room and do your homework!"
Looking at his younger brother running away in a hurry, Shiliu shook his head and laughed.
It is impossible for children to study without being pushed hard from time to time.
If you don’t attack, you won’t be able to make progress.
She understands this younger brother, and she has to push him so that he can work harder.
It was getting dark and it was time to have dinner. Father Li, who had returned from a walk, called his grandson to dinner outside the door.
"Grandpa, you eat first, I'll come back after I finish my homework!"
Dad Li was pleased to hear that his grandson was working so hard today, so he went into the Xuanwu and let his wife take it. Empty the bowl and save the food for your grandson.
Li Rongzhang, who stayed up late at night to read, washed himself up and went to bed tiredly. He wet his pillow and fell asleep. He got up before dawn, did a set of aerobics first, and then read.
Then, he took breakfast and walked and ate all the way into the school. He went straight to the Jia Academy to find Fan Jin.
In Fan's School, all the students who passed the entrance examination were transferred to School A, and he was also the best teacher in Fan's School.
After meeting Fan Jin, Li Rongzhang opened his mouth and said: "Brother, you don't know how scary my second sister is, she can even recite the Theory of Salt and Iron! Senior brother, can you recite it?"
Fan Jin, who was still not fully able to memorize it, was confused, and then he realized something and said happily: "Your second sister is back?"
