He Xichao came to the book market to search for books when he had free time, not because of the rural examination next year, but because there are few ways to acquire knowledge in this era, and books are the best way.

He didn't like to stay in the Duke's mansion when he was out of the palace to rest and take a bath, so he often came here for a stroll after knowing the way.

He Xichao had visited almost all the bookstores in this book lane.Of course, the one I visited the most is Qiuzhi Study Room, which I met with Xie San, because it is the largest and has the most books.

The township examination will be in the fall of next year, so the study has not yet been filled with various papers and notes, but there are already more and more.After all, there has been no Chunwei in the past two years, and the township examination is the most important examination.

Thanks to many college examinations and examinations, the voice of suspecting him to be cheating conveyed to the censor, which made him famous in the Jinluan Palace. Nowadays, no one knows that the second young master of Wei Guogong's mansion is extremely talented, and he has been remembered by the emperor at a young age Yes, the hospital examination case, the township examination seems to be easy.

He Xichao brought a tall young man in, which immediately attracted a lot of attention.

As soon as the shopkeeper saw him, he greeted him enthusiastically: "It's a coincidence that Master He came today. I just got an interesting book. You must like it."

"what book?"

The shopkeeper found a blue leather book from under the counter, and put it in front of He Xichao, "Just one, if you come early, I will give it to you, and the third son Xie will not have it."

""Tiangong Kaiwu"..." He Xichao picked it up and flipped through it casually, his eyes narrowed immediately, "Good book, thank you shopkeeper."

"Ah, you are too polite. If you come to the small studio often, it will be full of splendor!" The shopkeeper greeted many scholars in this study, and he has always been very accurate in judging people. Four years ago, He Xichao was only this young. If Xie San could send out all the exam books, he must have outstanding talents and studies, and it is very likely that he will be a high school scholar.

In the end, he really guessed it right, and even the emperor was amazed.

And he knew that the more promising a person is, the less he is a person who did not study hard. Whether it is Xie San or He Xichao, reading and reading are really messy, and heretics seem to like it the most.

Xiao Hong casually flipped through the book twice, then closed the book, "Xi Chao, what are you talking about?"

"Handicrafts, papermaking, wax making, kiln firing, mortise and tenon joints... are all the brainchild of skilled craftsmen. I took a rough look, and it seems to be just a brief introduction, but being able to write such a book is very important for me to understand Daqi's technology. The level is helpful."

Xiao Hong: "...you won't let me learn how to make paper and wax?" After all, even rice has been planted...

Xiao Hong rolled his eyes at him, "Of course it's impossible. People who are destined to be managers don't need to be technicians. These things are related to productivity and affect the level of the national economy. For the time being, I can understand them. As for you..." Under He Xichao's scorching gaze, Xiao Hong couldn't help puffing out his chest and retracting his abdomen, and sank into his dantian, then he heard He Xichao continue to say, "Your face is blank, so it's not difficult for you."

He Xichao took back the book, smiled lightly and walked towards the place where all kinds of idle books were placed.

And Xiao Hong looked at his Youzai Youzai's back, put his shoulders together, and heaved a sigh of relief.

Although he knew that He Xichao was well-organized, he was still under a lot of pressure to broaden the learning content suddenly. After all, the increase in content meant that homework and exams were not far away from him.

The guards and internal servants were all at the outer door, and He Xichao was not accompanied by a servant, he was almost reading and taking a book, and quickly folded it to thickness.

Xiao Hong saw that his thin arms couldn't bear too much weight, so he immediately leaned over and took the books for him, there were a dozen or so books, He Xichao clapped his hands and said: "Okay, that's all, You can watch it for a long time."

Life in the palace is very boring. Apart from giving lectures to Xiao Hong, he can only read books in his spare time.

But as soon as they turned around, a figure suddenly appeared from behind the bookshelf next to them.

Xiao Hong immediately pulled He Xichao behind him, and asked vigilantly, "Who?"

The figure froze, and immediately said: "I... I... student..."

Xiao Hong frowned, and found that he was a scholar, rather fat, "What are you doing sneakily?"

"I...student...is...is...is..."

Xiao Hong waited for a long time, but the scholar was struggling all the way, but couldn't hold back a different word, instead his face turned red.

"Are you stuttering?" Xiao Hong said casually impatiently.

The scholar replied: "Yes... yes... ah..."

The corner of Xiao Hong's mouth twitched, so is he stuttering?

He Xichao poked his head out from behind him, took a look at the scholar, then turned his eyes to the book he was holding tightly in the scholar's hand, and asked with a smile: "Brother, are you here to find me?"

Hearing He Xichao's voice, the scholar immediately raised his head, his eyes lit up, and he nodded fiercely, "Yes... yes..."

He Xichao pointed to the book in the scholar's hand, "Do you have any questions?"

Hearing this, the scholar raised the book respectfully with both hands, put it in front of He Xichao, bent slightly and lowered his head, and said, "Student... I don't understand something, so I'm taking the liberty to ask you for advice..."

He Xichao took the book, looked at the circled words and sentences, and the comments on the side, and tilted his head.

Xiao Hong crossed his arms and leaned against the wall irritably, watching He Xichao patiently explain to the scholar.

He speaks softly, with a soft voice, and asks from time to time, "Do you understand?" or "It's okay, then let's change our way of thinking, so we can understand..."

Xiao Hong couldn't help but stomped his feet and bared his teeth.

His expression has changed from being indifferent at the beginning to surprised, then impatient, now dissatisfied, and then with a trace of, um, resentment.

I have been studying with He Xichao for five years, and I have never heard this kid say this to him in such a tone.

After repeating it three times, with a puzzled look on his face, he didn't get He Xichao's signature sarcasm, "Are you a pig? You've already learned the tricks of a pig, why aren't your brains clear yet!"

What is the charm of this stuttering fat man that makes He Xichao so patient!

Xiao Hong was puzzled and jealous at the same time, he carefully looked at this scholar who appeared suddenly from the beginning to the end.

Fat and short, he wears less in summer, but when the weather is hot, his clothes stick to his flesh, and he becomes fatter. He looks rich at best, but a pig at worst!And he's a stupid pig, he can't get the point out of three times, not to mention he stutters.

Probably the only advantage is that the family background is not bad, and the clothing materials are exquisite, but what is the use of this, it can only be called the stupid son of the landlord's family.Look at what is hanging on the waist, it is actually an abacus!Also pure gold!At least hang a piece of jade to cover up that aura of nouveau riche!

Xiao Hong looked at it with an extremely critical and prejudiced eye, and it was useless.

But he just couldn't figure out why his Xichao was so kind to this fat man.

He couldn't figure it out, and the other scholars in the seeking knowledge study didn't understand it either.

The study is such a small place, although He Xichao answered in a low voice, they could still hear him.Even in order to hear more clearly, they didn't even make a sound, and walked over involuntarily.

No one questioned He Xichao's talent. Hearing his answer, many scholars nodded in agreement. Some even suddenly realized that they took out the pen, ink and paper they carried with them and wrote down the key points.

To be praised by the emperor is really quick thinking and extraordinary.

But the other one, they despise it just like Xiao Hong, what kind of idiots don't understand after listening to such an answer, it's a waste of time, why not give them the opportunity to ask for advice...

When you get to the level of the provincial examination, you have already memorized the Four Books and Five Classics by heart. The difference is nothing more than the literary talent and statement of opinions in the policy theory.

When He Xichao was answering the question, he had already touched on these things, which is really very valuable.

At first, they felt that it was embarrassing to ask an 11-year-old child for advice.

But can the face make them pass the examination of Juren and Jinshi?

Xiao Hong curled his lips and nodded, regretting why he accompanied He Xichao to go shopping in the book alley so understandingly, it was obviously a good time for the two of them to be alone, it was so good to eat, drink and play.

Although he really wanted to grab the fat scholar by the neck and throw him out, and then pull He Xichao past him, but seeing that the latter was concentrating on preaching and resolving doubts, he couldn't bear to disturb him, so he could only tell himself to be patient, he was just an unknown passerby , When I return to the palace, I will forget about the world.

"Many, thank you so much He...he...he..."

I don't know if it's because the fat scholar is stuttering or if he really doesn't know how to address him, He Xichao shook his head and said, "Call me Xichao, what's your brother's name?"

"My name is Luo, my name is Li, and I live in... Luo Mansion, Yuanfeng Lane. I, I can't thank you for the great kindness of the dynasty. I, I, can't thank you for the gold and silver common things. ... If there is a mission, I will definitely say nothing!"

No matter how well-mannered He Xichao was, his face cracked a little after these words, and he couldn't help asking directly: "Has brother Luo always talked like this?"

"Yes, and no. It will be better when we get to know each other better." Luo Li said shyly, but he is actually much better now.

He Xichao nodded, stared at his waist and said, "Okay, there's no need for dispatch, it's just a matter of little effort. But the abacus on Brother Luo's waist is small and unique, I wonder if we can give it up?"

Chic?Hearing this, Xiao Hong looked at the other golden abacus on Luo Li's waist in disbelief, feeling that He Xichao's aesthetics were worrying.

However, Luo Li took off the abacus pendant, handed it to He Xichao, and said with full of joy: "Xichao, you like it too, really, it's really great, I, I have others Yes, do you want it?"

He Xichao took the abacus, it was still a bit heavy in his hand, it was pure gold, he bent his lips, "No, it's fine to have one, it's boring if there are more. This will settle the two, by the way, if I were to come here more often Study, if you have any questions, just keep them, and if you are lucky enough to meet them, I will explain them to you."

"Really, really?" Luo Li was very happy, "Okay, okay, I will definitely come here often."

Xiao Hong picked out his ears and couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief seeing that the fat man had finally left, but he didn't expect that just as he took a step forward, several scholars suddenly appeared beside him and surrounded He Xichao in a blink of an eye.

Looking at that appearance, he had the same idea as Fatty Luo before.

He squinted his eyes and shouted, "Xi Chao."

"Hey, do you want to wait for me any longer?" He Xichao, who was surrounded for advice, was also helpless, and couldn't help laughing, "It's still early..."

He Xichao had an apology on his face, what else could Xiao Hong say, did he have any other choice besides waiting?

Finally he sighed, "Take your time, I'm not in a hurry."

The author has something to say: Yao: Fatty Luo has a name and surname, it must be useful...

Xiao Hong: Don't you forget each other?
