Village Flowers and Female Scholars

After the two came out, Gong Chengping was not impatient, because he and Xie Yuangu were not enjoying themselves in printing the book.

Before Xie Yan and Zhuang Wan entered the room, Gong Chengping stared at the mimeograph machine, and begged the child to teach him after the two entered.

Xie Yuangu usually stays with his mother and sisters, and rarely has his older brothers to accompany him. No wonder Gong Chengping coaxed the little boy into submission by virtue of his harmless face, and taught him how to apply ink and how to roll the wheel .

After Gong Chengping learned it, the two began to print books, and when Xie Yan and the others came out of the room, they had already printed a thick stack of paper.

Seeing Xie Yan staring at his two operations, Gong Chengping said with a guilty conscience: "Little lady, please don't scold your brother, I was greedy and asked him to teach me."

Xie Jinniang didn't like the matter between him and Zhuang Wan very much. Seeing him take the initiative to take over the matter now, her favorability will not fall to the bottom like just now.

"Why am I scolding you? Finally, someone who is willing to work has come. Since you love printing so much, you can finish printing those stacks of paper together."

Gong Chengping turned his head to look at the stacks of rice paper on the table and was startled: "This is too much."

Although he is very interested, yes, he can give it a try, but after doing it for a long time, it is not something he is interested in, let alone just doing it for a while, he will be too tired to lift his arms up and down. , It will be a problem to eat with chopsticks tomorrow.

Xie Yan looked at him with a puzzled expression, and deducted half of the points from his original affection for him: "Why, if you don't want to print it, that's fine, you go back and I will print it myself."

Seeing that Xie Yan's face darkened, Gong Chengping hurriedly said: "Don't, don't, I am willing, but even if I can print so many pages, my little brother will be tired after turning pages for so long."

Unexpectedly, Xie Yuangu immediately took over the conversation and said: "I'm not tired, this is how I help my sister turn the pages on weekdays."

When Gong Chengping heard the words, he was like an eggplant beaten by frost, but after all, he had already agreed to it, so he had to resign himself to moving a high chair to sit and work.

Seeing that he was troubled, Xie Yan felt a little more at ease.

However, she also felt sorry for her younger brother, and she had been imprinted with her for a long time just now. It is not easy for the child to sit for so long, so she said to Xie Yuangu, "Gu'er, go play with Sister Wanwan, and I will turn the page."

After speaking, he sat down instead of Xie Yuangu, looked at Gong Chengping with a bitter face and said, "Why, can't I cooperate with you? Could it be that you still despise me!"

Gong Chengping hurriedly shook his head like a rattle drum, and said, "Don't dare, I can't do it, Xiaosheng can't ask for it."

Xie Yan snorted and urged him to start working. Zhuang Wan, who was next to her, felt a lot more at ease when she saw this. If the little girl started to make a fuss, she would have to coax him for several days. This is the best result.

After Xie Yuangu got his freedom, he didn't go out to play. He ran back to the house and ran out with an enlightenment book that Zhuang Wan gave him earlier. He walked up to Zhuang Wan and bowed to salute: "Master Zhuang , Are you going to start learning new knowledge today?"

These are what Xie Yan taught him. Everything should start with children. My younger brother develops later than others in all aspects. Naturally, he can't fall behind in learning. Since there is such a good teacher as Zhuang Wan, why waste resources and let him follow first. For a period of time, you can learn as much as you can. When the school at Ningxikou is completed, you can learn more easily when you send it to Master Zhao.

Etiquette should not be sloppy. As the saying goes, "Three years old is the old man, seven years old is the old man." Gu'er is now five years old, so he must keep up with all aspects and strive to give him a good tutor.

Zhuang Wan saw that his little face was red and his big eyes were flickering, he was really cute, probably because he looked three points like the person he liked, and he loved the house as much as he did, and found him even more lovable.

Gently nodded for him to sit down, and hung the small wooden blackboard that Xie Yan specially made for her on the wall. Under the small blackboard was a small table with a few pieces of chalk on it. The chalk was also made by Xie Yan with slaked lime. A small round cut.

Zhuang Wan wrote the word "Gu" on the blackboard.

"Earlier we learned the words 'big, middle and small people come and go', but today we learn this word, does Gu'er know how to pronounce it?"

Xie Yan once taught his younger brother how to write his own name. Now that Zhuang Wan taught him how to write his own name, he was so happy that he raised his hand and said loudly, "I know the word Gu'er. When you say 'Gu', it's Gu'er." the valley of the name."

Zhuang Wan smiled and praised him, "Does Gu'er know what this word means?"

"Gu means grain and five grains."

"What do grains refer to?"

"..." Xie Yuangu couldn't answer, after all, his elder sister didn't teach so much.

Zhuang Wan was standing in the middle of the courtyard at this time, tall and tall, with a strong bookish look in her gentleness, her beautiful face was fascinating, the sun shines on her hair through the green leaves on the courtyard, as if giving her Sprinkle a layer of white light.

"Valleys can be seen halfway from the water, and come out of the mouth. The springs come out of the river and form the valley, and the two mountains are the way of flowing water."

Zhuang Wan's soft voice flowed through the ears like water, and slipped through people's hearts like feathers.

"Gu has another meaning at the same time, that is, the general name of hundreds of grains. For example, there are five grains: hemp, millet, millet, wheat, and beans. Guer, do you understand?"

The two people who were printing stared at Zhuang Wan who was teaching, showing fascination, until they were awakened by Xie Yuangu's loud reply.

Zhuang Wan can see Xie Yan like this almost every day, so she is better than Gong Chengping. She turned her head and saw Gong Chengping's eyes without blinking. She suddenly felt a sense of crisis, and patted his hand vigorously and said: "Hey, it's time to work, where did your mind wander?"

Gong Chengping was shocked by her slap, seeing the vicious look of the little girl in front of him, he hurriedly said: "No, no, I was fascinated by the white pen, which god made it, and can also make a blackboard?" Come on, I am really in admiration."

"See that lamp hanging on the wall? It's a horse lantern. It won't go out even if you take it out on a windy and rainy night."

"Is this also made by that expert? It's simply too powerful. If I see him in real life, I must worship him as my teacher!"

"You pray." Xie Yan raised her chin and said.

Gong Chengping looked around in a daze, and found that there were only four of them in the yard.

"Where is the expert, if the expert is here, it doesn't matter to kneel down, I still want to worship the expert as a teacher-by the way, your printing book, could it be that expert?"

Xie Yuangu, who was studying next to him, heard Gong Chengping's words, turned his head and said with a smile, "Big brother, please take my elder sister as your teacher. These things are made by my elder sister."

Gong Chengping was taken aback and expressed disbelief, but even Zhuang Wan stared at him with a half-smile.

"Ahem," Gong Chengping looked at the little girl who was a few years younger than himself, and his face suddenly became a little uncomfortable.

Just when Xie Yan and the others thought that this guy regretted that he had just bluffed, after all, a scholar has more face than the sky, and there is such a thing as a man with gold under his knees, so they didn't take it seriously, but they didn't expect Gong Chengping to grit his teeth and let it go. With the roller clip in his hand, he stood up and straightened his clothes, walked up to Xie Yan, and solemnly knelt down.

"Little lady is superb in skills, and Taiping admires him very much. If you don't think Taiping is stupid, I would like to worship you as my teacher."

Xie Yan only regarded Gong Chengping as her potential rival in love from the beginning to the end, and she didn't have any confidence or illusions about men in this world, but she didn't expect the young man in front of her to kneel before her, and she was a little frightened.

But he quickly came back to his senses, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up and said, "Brother Taiping is such a great gift, I am too upset. I always like to tinker with these things, and occasionally I can tinker with something useful. I am not an expert. If I like it, and we can study together in the future, I am not talented enough to be a teacher, please don't do such a big gift."

Since Gong Chengping was able to put down his face and kneel down to such a little girl, he naturally recognized her ability, and just now that he had uttered his big words, the man was unwilling to stand up because of his promise.

Seeing that he was sorry, Xie Yan hurriedly cast a look at Zhuang Wan for help.

Zhuang Wan said at this time: "Gong Chengping, if Jin'er says he won't accept apprentices, he won't accept apprentices. You can't force them, right? Isn't this difficult for strong people, why don't you get up quickly."

Gong Chengping had no choice but to stand up, standing there in embarrassment, at a loss.

Xie Yan didn't want to see him in trouble, and said: "Since you and Xu Qiuyang are good buddies, now he is helping me sell scripts, and you know Wanwan, you can come with Xu Qiuyang when he comes to my house, everyone can Be friends."

Hearing what she said, Gong Chengping was overjoyed, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Jinniang for being willing to be friends with us, it's really great."

Xie Yan interrupted his joy and said: "Wanwan said that you already have someone you like, even if it's just to deceive the elders of both parties, you can't have any thoughts on Wanwan, do you agree?"

"Yes, I can agree, don't worry, how can I have any crooked thoughts about her, the person I like is the best person in the world."

Seeing his proud face, Xie Yan couldn't bear to interrupt, but she couldn't help but said in her heart: The person I like is also the best and the best person in the world.

After the few people made an agreement, they had a good time, and Xie Yan couldn't force him to print the book for him. Gong Chengping happily picked up the chalk on the table, and wrote the word "Autumn" on the blackboard. He wanted to show off. After a while, I found that the writing was much uglier than Zhuang Wan's "Gu", so I was a little bit shocked and said: "Why do the same hand and the same pen write different characters?"

Xie Yan chuckled: "The pens are the same, but the hands are not the same. Look at Wan Wan's hands, they are all calloused for writing, but you, these fingers are thin and tender, I'm afraid they didn't write. How many words should I pass?"

Gong Chengping's delicate face flushed, and he said in disbelief, "I don't write very well. When Xu Qiuyang comes, his writing will definitely be better than Zhuang Wan's."

In Xie Yan's mind, Zhuang Wan's handwriting is the best in the world, even Xu Qiuyang can't compare to it. Hearing what Gong Chengping said, he is not convinced. He is about to argue with this new friend, but A pair of gentle hands pressed his shoulders.

Zhuang Wan lowered her voice and said, "Why do you need to be as knowledgeable as him, Xu Qiuyang's handwriting is on par with mine, but you are much better than Gong Chengping."

The author has something to say: I don’t know if there will be more tonight, so I will write when I have time
