Master Bai personally escorted the dejected Bai Erlang to copy the book, and along the way, he told his son earnestly: "I know copying books is very boring, and writing too much is not only tiring, but also irritable. The handwriting will also be scribbled..."

"But you are going to participate in the imperial examination in the future. You will have to write a lot of characters each time during the imperial examination. After typing the draft, you will copy it to the paper. Isn't it killing people?"

Bai Erlang was stunned when he heard it. For the first time, he knew that he had such a grand goal, so he asked in a daze: "Father, why do I still have to go to the imperial examinations, isn't it my eldest brother?"

Master Bai hated the iron and looked at him and said: "You are too unmotivated, your elder brother is going, can't you go?"

Then he talked about his eldest brother's hardships, "Look, your eldest brother didn't leave the study very much when he came back for the Chinese New Year. Can't you expect your eldest brother to know everything? If you can also take the imperial examinations and become an official, you will not only honor your ancestors, but also help you in the officialdom. your brother."

Bai Erlang couldn't help muttering, "It's as if my eldest brother and I will definitely pass the exam, Dad, I think you might as well treat Shanbao and Manbao a little better, let them go to the examiner, and then help each other with eldest brother. "

Master Bai couldn't help but pat him on the head: "You are too unmotivated, no, just start copying books, as many books as Shanbao and the others have copied, you can copy as many books as you want, believe what Dad said, you will know this when you copy it. It's good."

He sighed, "Father just couldn't copy it back then..."

Bai Erlang couldn't help but jump, "Father, you can't even let me do it!"

Master Bai glanced at him and said, "That's right, when I cried and cried, your grandmother wouldn't let me copy it, and your father regretted it very much, and even blamed your grandmother for doting me too much, so In order for you not to blame me in the future, I have decided to be stricter with you."

Shiro:  …

When he reached the door of the study, Bai Erlang finally organized the language in grief and anger, and shouted: "I will also blame you, blame you for being too strict with me!"

Master Bai stretched out his hand to pat him on the head, and Man Bao just looked up to see it, and when he saw it, he said, "Master Bai, hitting your head will make you stupid."

Mr. Bai paused for a moment, and switched to stroking. He squinted and smiled at Bai Erlang, "If you want to complain, you can only complain when you grow up. Now you say it doesn't matter."

Shiro:  …

Master Bai dragged Bai Erlang into the study, and smiled at Man Bao: "Man Bao, uncle is not trying to beat him, uncle is teaching him, by the way, how are you copying books now?"

The two generously showed him the manuscript they had copied.

Master Bai looked at it, nodded again and again, then looked down at Duzui's angry son with a smile, and said softly: "Erlang, you are older than Shanbao and Manbao, both "Thousand Characters" and "Analects" are both The easiest thing is that you have already learned it, so you must be able to copy it well, right?"

Bai Erlang still misses the bamboo rat he hadn't caught on the mountain, but after his father rolled up his sleeves, he responded aggrievedly, "Yes."

"Okay," Master Bai waved his hand proudly, "Go and write, Dad is watching you in the study."

Bai Erlang widened his eyes, looked at Bai Shanbao, then at Manbao, and finally went to his small table and sat down.

Master Bai walked around the study with his hands behind his back. He suddenly remembered that maybe he hadn't read a book for a long time, so he took a book off the shelf and read it.

The three children winked behind their desks.

They don't like adults very much in the study, and they feel like a stick has been stuck across the back of their buttocks.

The three of them winked, Master Bai turned out from the back of the bookshelf, and the three of them immediately calmed down and lowered their heads to grind ink, grind ink, and spread paper...

Master Bai glanced at them and was about to find a place to sit and read a book, when he saw Daji sitting motionless in the corner, which shocked him.

Master Bai stroked his chest, walked across to Daji with the book, and sat down with a little pony, sharing the brazier with him.

He opened the book, glanced at Daji, and asked, "Isn't it boring to sit like this all day?"

Daji bowed slightly to Master Bai and smiled: "It's not boring, but when Young Master and the others didn't stop for a while, I looked tired."

Master Bai nodded and said with a smile, "That's how reading is, just wait until they pass the test."

Daji smiled slightly, this is just adults cheating children, and when I really grow up and pass the exam, that's when I'm really busy.

Daji looked up at the three children who were holding pens and copying books, secretly saying that it was a pity, but it was a pity that the three children did not know this.

The real happiness and ease, I am afraid this is the time.

Children are indeed relaxed. Although they have to copy books, they do not have to copy books all day long.

When you are tired of copying, you have to go out to play, and when you are tired of playing, you have to read your own good-looking books, eat snacks that you think are delicious, and continue to copy books when you feel that you have nothing to do.

But just like this, the speed of the three children is getting faster and faster, especially Man Bao and Bai Shanbao. In the end, they no longer need to read the book and copy it. They just recite the whole book and check it again to make sure that there are no typos. put together later.

After that, Man Bao will take it home and bind it to the sisters-in-law. This is a book.

And after two or three days like this, Bai Erlang didn't have to stare at Master Bai anymore, and he did discover the benefits of copying books.

Although I still hate copying books, it is not as annoying as before.

Before the Lantern Festival, the three children had only copied ten books, and Man Bao was in no hurry. She planned to give them her old books, and she would just copy two more copies by herself.

When Mr. Zhuang came back from the county town for the Chinese New Year, he couldn't help but be surprised to see Lao Zhoutou leading a bunch of children to the school, even if he had already known from his apprentices in advance.

Mr. Zhuang was only surprised, while the villagers in Qili Village were stunned.

In the past, when the school opened, the villagers would not come to watch, because in their opinion, this was a very rude behavior, and it might make Mr. Zhuang unhappy.

But at this moment, he couldn't bear it any longer, and they all gathered to watch the excitement not far from the school, and they were too surprised.

"This old Zhou family picked up gold? Why did they send all the children to the school?"

"Isn't Mr. Zhuang not accepting their home for repairs?"

"Why? Because of Man Bao?"

"It's good to have a smart girl."

"What do you know, the books that the children of the old Zhou family are studying are copied by Manbao. Oh, I took a look yesterday and did the same thing as the real thing."

"...The book is still fake?"

"I mean it's the same as the bookstores in the county town. The old Zhou family didn't pick up gold, but gave birth to a lump of gold."
