Xiao Xun Chen knelt down on Huang Miao's seat, watching his fourth uncle quarrel with sixth uncle.

    The bamboo curtains on both sides of the room are all raised, and you can see the sparkling water in the sun. The cool breeze rolled in, wrapping the gauze tent as thin as a cicada's wings, and blowing away the green smoke rising from the incense burner. This elegant overwater classroom is filled with light, aroma and the taste of nature from the outside in.

    Unfortunately, what the adults said was out of tune with the elegant and beautiful environment.

      They were all thrown out of Cloud Nine.

    "Fourth Brother." He tapped lightly with his index finger on a farewell letter and signaled to Xun Tao: "The eldest son of the Cao family has already bid farewell. This is because our children were disrespectful first, so we had to make up for one or two at Cao Erlang, which is right. Prefect Cao has an explanation."

    "Then you don't need to let her go to school..." Xun Tao murmured, "You won't accept the children of your own brothers. Inside, what does it mean to have a foreign surname? And men and women are not seated at the age of seven..."

    "Fourth brother," Xun Shuang raised the corners of his mouth, "Those who are favored by God cannot be speculated or treated with common sense. I still say that, if you want to enter my door, At least moderately qualified."

    Xun Tao's face turned black, he turned and left. Xun Shuang is almost saying that the children of his fourth family are too stupid to teach. My fellow brothers, who are also well-known gentlemen outside, are outraged when they speak venomously in private.

      pass?"

    Xun Chen patted Yuan Fang's nephew on the shoulder: "Uncle Six speaks more... upright, you'll get used to it."

    "Uh..."

    "I'm not exaggerating." Xun Shuang said, "The two sons of the Cao family are extraordinary, and it will not hurt you to befriend them."

    The children nodded in agreement.

    Xun Chen turned to Xun You and asked: "Ayou, is the Erlang of the Cao family really a girl? Since he is a girl, how can he be called Erlang?"

    Xun You's face was stunned, and he just found out. "I didn't see it. Is Ah Sheng a girl?"

    Xun Shuang waved his hand: "Since the Cao family is called Erlang, you can treat her as a little prince. With the etiquette of our children, there will be no rudeness."

     

    Women from aristocratic families are gifted and intelligent, and there are many people who read books since childhood, even better than their brothers. Not to mention the legendary women who continued to write the "Han Shu" like Ban Zhao, even among the several empress dowagers who were called the dynasty, there were also talented women with outstanding political literacy. But when it comes to leaving the house and making a public appearance, and relying on the connections of elders to study everywhere, Cao Sheng is the first case they know.

    Cao family, really dote on their daughter.

    At this moment, a servant came from the wooden bridge corridor, knelt outside the door and kowtowed: "Master, Cao Erlang is here."

    "Come in."

    The door opened with a soft thud of wood.

    Xun Chen looked over curiously, and saw a young man in a light cyan summer dress walking in steadily. His eyebrows are clear and his eyes are beautiful, his skin is as white as jade, his lips are a little red, and if he looks closely, he is really indifferent between males and females. But once she took action, she walked squarely and neatly, without any twist. Xun Chen was even more confused.

    "Cao Erlang is so handsome." Xun Yan leaned over and said to Xun Chen, "It's the first time I've seen someone who is more delicate than brother Ayue... er... little Langjun."

    "Hmm, um." Xun Chen nodded again and again, his eyes still fixed on the new friend.

    A Sheng had already taken a seat on the empty cushion in front of Xun Shuang, and said with a courtesy: "Student Cao Sheng greets Duke Ci Ming."

     

    Xun Shuang returned the courtesy and asked her to sit up.

    "Since you said you want to study, what kind of knowledge do you want to seek? Or, what is your future ambition?" , as serious as a dean.

    This association made Ah Sheng feel very kind, so she almost smiled and replied: "My ancestors also asked me about my aspirations when I was young, and said: 'I want to Everyone in the world has eggs to eat.' My ancestors reprimanded me for being too ambitious. So I changed my mind and said, 'First let everyone in the world drink gruel'."

    Xun Shuang secretly took a breath: "Let everyone in the world be able to drink gruel, which even Confucius has never been able to do. Young people are so loud!"

    "Not too big is not enough to be called an ambition. I am willing to run west like a man holding a snake, even if I die halfway, I have no regrets. [1]"

    Xun Shuang later sighed with his brothers: "Cao Sheng did not hesitate to compare himself with gods when he talked about his ambitions. Such people have high vision and fearlessness. Once they have the opportunity to grow up, Not a thief of troubled times like Wang Mang can become a saint through the ages."

    He is a traditional scholar, so he taught Cao Sheng to be more attentive, for fear that she would go the wrong way.

    Summer and autumn are over in a blink of an eye.

    A Sheng and the children who were mainly trained by the Xun family gradually became familiar with each other.

    The eldest, Xun Yue, is the child of the old family, and is sixteen years old this year. The tall and straight young man is like a jade tree facing the wind, and he is also gentle in life. Ah Sheng has never seen him angry or competitive. Although Xun You and Xun Chen's background is not smart enough, Ah Sheng knows that Xun Yue is called "shouzhuo", and in the future he can take over Xun Jing's class and become the face of Xun's family when dealing with people and things.

      Xun Chen is more lively in comparison. Whether it is archery or learning a musical instrument, he likes to greet Ah Sheng.

    Xun You, who is closest to Ah Sheng, is not a descendant of Xun Shu and the "Xun's Eight Dragons", but belongs to another branch of the Xun family. The elders of his family are the vanguards of anti-eunuchs. They are too busy fighting wits and courage with the **** group to take care of their children. In addition, Xun You's parents died a few years ago, so he had to return to his hometown in Yingyin to entrust his family studies. Xun Shuang knew people with a discerning eye, and promoted him from clanology to homeschooling, almost like Ah Sheng.

     Both Cao Sheng and Xun You live alone in the same courtyard, with only one wall between the rooms.

    "A Sheng?" One day and night Xun You got up to change clothes, and suddenly saw a black figure running into the next room of A Sheng. On this day and the new moon, only the stars illuminate, so it is impossible to see clearly. Xun You thought about it, and felt that it was not his own illusion, but they were in the depths of the Xun family compound, and the guards were heavily guarded, and ordinary thieves would never get in.

      "Asheng, Asheng, are you up yet?"

    Asheng didn't sleep all night, he was writing a reply letter to Craftsman Ai and Mrs. Liu, and the scratch paper was scratched several times. Xun You's knock on the door was as shocking as Shi Potian, scaring her pen off.

    A Shi's eyes flashed, and the sword was unsheathed.

    "Eh, don't." Ah Sheng hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold her, "The paper is made by ourselves, so it's hidden. People don't need to hide it. Most things, calm, calm, ah."

    When Ah Shi tidyed up the table, Ah Sheng motioned Tian Xiaoma to open the door for Xun You. "Ayou, what's the matter? It's not time for the morning class yet."

    "I saw a shadow last night... eh? Who is this?"

    "Let me introduce, this is Ashi. This time, it was, uh, a messenger, delivered from her hometown. She didn't know the etiquette and broke in because she was in a hurry. For this reason, I I'll go and apologize to Duke Ci Ming in person later."

    Xun You took a half step back: "It turned out to be Ah Sheng's old family. It was my rudeness. Ah Sheng dealt with the housework first, and I will call you again at the hour."

    A Sheng smiled: "Although A You is young, he is a gentleman."

    Xun You blushed, and trotted away before going out.

    When the door closed, the corners of Ah Sheng's mouth collapsed. "The matter in the south, it's useless if you're in a hurry. It's beyond the reach of the whip. You eat something first, and then go to see Duke Ciming with me." It's fine if you don't get caught, and Xun You bumps into it.

    A Shitou once showed a frustrated look: "It's because the subordinates are not good at learning, so go back and receive the punishment yourself."

    A Sheng looked at the paralyzed face that was completely collapsed because of the heartache: "The punishment is lighter. I still want to use you, don't kill yourself."

    "The master is kind, but the subordinates are not good at learning, so they have made such a big negligence."

    "Ayou is a gentleman, it's fine."

    "The master is kind, but the subordinates are not good at learning."

    "I will build a hut outside Xunjia Village and send people to guard there in turn. You can send a letter to find someone there in the future, and then according to the normal process, you come in, or I go out. There is no need to avoid With the Xun family, it is normal for me to have correspondence with the Cao family."

    "No. But this subordinate caused trouble to the master this time, and must be punished."

    "Punish..."

     

    “…” Ah Shi, you will make me feel like a perverted leader of a killer organization, or the kind of villain who gets a lunch, you know?

    In the early winter of this year, a rebellion broke out in the South China Sea. The nine women, headed by Liu, were trapped in the minority's cottage and lost contact with the main force.

    The author has something to say: Note [1]: Here is an allusion of Kuafu chasing the sun. "Shan Hai Jing Dahuang Bei Jing" records that Kuafu has two snakes on his ears and holds two snakes in his hand. Therefore, the "one who holds the snake" here is referring to Kuafu.
