Rebirth of Okuki Kofuro

Kneeling piously in front of the Buddha for several days, Zhuang seemed to have let go of some burden after leaving Jingguang Temple, and he looked much more relaxed.

Father Liang accompanied Mrs. Zhuang to handle the matter of the Buddhist temple the whole time. He felt that his wife figured out something about Zhuang Qingze after offering lamps to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

The thing that made her most reluctant to let go of her younger brother was the entrustment of her parents. After offering lamps to her parents, she silently told her parents all the things on her mind in front of the Buddha, which made her settle her mind.

There was another harvest from this trip to Jingguang Temple, that is, after eating vegetarian food at Jingguang Temple for a few days, and then returning home, Qu Yi could actually eat pork, chicken and duck.

After returning home, Qu Yi took the initiative to ask Zhuang Shi to mention it. First, he ate fish as usual for two days. Although his stomach was full, his mind would always recall the vegetarian food he ate in the temple, the oily knuckle, the spicy and delicious chicken , White meat that is white in color but full of flavor...

He felt that he might not hate pork, chicken and duck anymore, but he always thought that he couldn't eat it, so the family didn't prepare it. Now he is a bit greedy.

Qu Yi wanted to eat, so of course the cook listened to Zhuang Shi’s order and prepared it for him. When the cook carefully cooked the elbow and put it on the table, Qu Yi looked at the crystal clear skin of the elbow, moved her index finger, and immediately tried to eat it. a little bit.

Sure enough, he no longer hated eating pork. He hadn't eaten real pork for a long time, and he ate half of an elbow before satisfying his hunger.

There are more edible meats, Quyi finally has a little more meat, Zhuang is very happy to see it, and then he starts to collect other things, you must know that Quyi is not alone now, he still has one in his stomach, The more you eat, the better.

When the Liang family was all happy because Qu Yi could eat, Zhuang Qingze set off with a sullen face. He couldn't wait any longer. Staying at home would remind him of the humiliation he suffered in the Liang family. He wanted to go out and earn money to come back Deal with the Liang family.

Zhao Hongmei prepared for him to salute and sent him out. She was relieved but also a little disappointed, because she had already asked someone before, and said that the Liang family had all returned from the Buddhist temple.

When Zhao Hongmei and Zhuang Qingze went to the Liang family for the first time, they didn't see anyone. The porter said that Liang's father and Zhuang's had gone to a Taoist temple, and they also learned that the Liang family would go to a Buddhist temple.

With this news, Zhuang Qingze and Zhao Hongmei had a plan to deal with the fetus in Quyi's womb. They planned to reconcile with the Liang family first, and when they set off for the Buddhist temple, the two of them would go with them, and then play by ear and go out to think about it. Finding opportunities is easier than staying at home.

But the plan couldn't keep up with the changes. The couple went to Liang's house only to find a humiliating meal. They didn't even think about going to the Buddhist temple together. They couldn't even enter the gate of Liang's house.

For the members of the Liang family, Zhuang Qingze and Zhao Hongmei's mood had nothing to do with them. If they had to say something, it would be that the more uncomfortable they were, the happier Father Liang and Liang Kangsheng would be.

I went to Taoist temples and Buddhist temples in the first ten days of March, and the time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was late. Liang Kangsheng received a letter from Fang Junyan, saying that this year's college examination was about to start, and he was a little nervous.

Liang Kangsheng wrote a reply letter, telling Fang Junyan that his level is enough to pass the hospital examination, and there is no need to worry too much. After receiving Liang Kangsheng's letter, Fang Junyan relaxed a lot.

It wasn't just Fang Junyan who was nervous, but all the students who planned to take the county examination, government examination, and college examination this year were also nervous, because every scientific examination was related to their future.

During this time, because Zhuang Qingze had already gone out, and Liang's father basically took him at home, Liang Kangsheng adjusted his schedule a little. He would read books, write articles, and read newspapers at home every morning, and if he didn't go to Mrs. Go to your own library.

It has been nearly October since the Nanlou Library was built. Its business model is unique, and it is the only one in the county.

Other bookstores can't learn it if they want to. Who told them that their store is not as big as Nanlou Library, and it is relatively noisy in a busy city, so they can't let many students study quietly.

Moreover, the owners of those bookstores do not approve of Nanlou Library. They think that Nanlou Library only sells some books of imperial examinations, so it must not make money. There will be new ones.

So up to now, not only in Yang'an County, but also in other places, there is no similar library for the time being, only the South Road Library.

At the end of March, the start of the scientific examination is very close, and the students who are going to the provincial capital to take the college examination have already set off. If the students who want to save some money for staying in a hotel can delay the two days, they can only take the county examination. You don’t need to rush, just wait until the registration starts in April and go directly to the registration.

Seeing that his library was full of seats, Liang Kangsheng cupped his hands at the shopkeeper who was flipping through the ledger: "Shopkeeper, are you still busy?"

"Young master." The shopkeeper hurriedly put down the ledger. He didn't expect that there would be so many people in the library after March.

Not only were the stools in the library full, but even the places outside where there were no tables and stools were filled with tables and stools after the shopkeeper found out that someone came to the library and there was no place for them.

The shopkeeper is a little strange. Now that the scholars in the county are reading in the library, why don't they go to the school?

"It's very worry-free. Scholars find the books they want to read and pay a deposit to read or copy books quietly. My buddy and I only occasionally make a pot of tea or refill some tea." The shopkeeper came out, followed The Shaodong family walked towards the door together, without affecting the scholars who were reading.

Probably because the library opened, the people who deal with it are all scholars, and everyone is reasonable. The shopkeeper feels that he is too busy sometimes. If it is not for the bookstore, there must be two people exchanging books who are always watching the bookstore. I thought that I might suggest that the boss take the buddy back to Liang's house, so that he can manage the bookstore by himself.

Liang Kangsheng was not surprised by the shopkeeper's words. Most of the students who came to their Nanlou library to study were students from poor families. They cherished this opportunity and naturally they would not make trouble.

He continued: "How are the books in the bookstore doing? Are there any more books that are sold out? Have you copied the few books I found all the time? If it is broken or broken, the shopkeeper remembers to add new ones, used books can be sold at a low price, and no deposit is required to read used books, you can handle these things flexibly."

When Liang Kangsheng first opened this bookstore, he didn't want to earn much money, but just wanted to find something for his mother to do, and by the way, those scholars from poor families could read two more books.

After all, the output of their own winery, fruit wine, and fields is enough for their family, and it is also enough for their own study and exams, as long as the bookstore is not losing money.

Unexpectedly, under the management of Niang and Yi Geer, the bookstore not only did not lose money, but also made a lot of money. Of course, this is because the shop is their own and there is no need to pay extra rent.

After talking to the shopkeeper, Liang Kangsheng signaled the shopkeeper to go and do his work, and talked to Scholar Tian who came to look for him.

Tian Shusheng is the first guest of Nanlou Library, and also a frequent visitor of Nanlou Library. He has participated in the county examination twice last year and the year before, and failed in both. If he fails again this year, his family will let him He should stop studying and find a nutritious family.

But he is not reconciled, he wants to study, and he also likes to read. He has asked his master, and he knows that his writing is not good because he has not read enough books and his vision is too narrow, so he thinks about saving money and saving money. Buy two more books and go back to study.

Last summer, he happened to coincide with the opening of the Nanlou Library of the Liang family. He might have only read two or three books, but in the ten months since the Nanlou Library opened, he has read nearly ten books.

At the beginning, it took him nearly two months to read a book, but later he read more books, and he could finish one book in half a month. Of course, it took more effort to fully understand it.

The benefits of reading more are obvious. He looked back at his previous articles and found that what he wrote before was indeed only a shell with no content at all. No wonder he failed in the county examination.

At this time, he finally knew the difference between a student from a poor family like himself and those from a big family. They have a room full of books that they can read casually, but it is difficult for him to read a book. This is the gap.

In addition to the books in the Nanlou Library that have helped Tian Shusheng a lot, Liang Kangsheng, the young owner of the Nanlou Library, has also helped Tian Shusheng a lot. If he can't understand a few words, he will be able to enlighten him, and Liang Kangsheng in his heart Kang Sheng was the second master.

"Junior Tian, ​​are you sure you can take the county examination?" Liang Kangsheng saw that Scholar Tian was full of energy and his eyes were bright, and felt that he should be confident in this way.

"Thank you, brother, for your concern. This time, I take part in the county examination with the heart of breaking the boat." Although Tian Shusheng is confident, he still has a feeling of uneasiness in his heart. After all, he has never passed the previous two times, so he dare not speak too much, " If I still can’t pass this year, then I will give up my studies, listen to the arrangement of my family to find a job, and take on the responsibility of supporting the family.”

"Don't worry, I see that the junior has accumulated a lot of energy, and this trip will definitely come true." Liang Kangsheng patted him on the shoulder, giving the junior a little support, "If you need any help, feel free to come to the library to find the shopkeeper , the shopkeeper will come to me if he can’t solve the problem.”

Liang Kangsheng was very optimistic about Scholar Tian, ​​so the county examination room couldn't help him, but if something happened in the county, the Liang family could find someone to help him.

Although Tian Shusheng came from a poor background, he was not rigid in his mind, worked hard to make progress, and was neither humble nor overbearing. Liang Kangsheng believed that with his qualifications, if he read more books and broadened his horizons, he would be a scholar in the exam.

After two digressions, Tian Shusheng didn't waste time, and quickly asked his confusion. Liang Kangsheng didn't tell him what it was, but asked him to figure out the answer by quoting from many sources.

The people sitting at the door heard their words and joined in with interest. Everyone stood outside the door and discussed in a low voice. When the discussion ended, everyone had their own gains.
