[Red House] Ban'er's Road to Imperial Examination

Just as Wang Yue expected, the carriage went all the way to a mansion with a plaque on the Princess's Mansion, got out of the carriage, handed over the post, and immediately someone led them to go back.

All the way around the resplendent towers and pavilions, the flowers and willows were divided, and the two were taken to a small building by the servants who welcomed the guests.

This small building is exquisite and elegant, quite small and exquisite, but also has a scholarly atmosphere. It is completely different from the previous building that reveals a strong royal style, but the two are not obtrusive, but complement each other. It seems that they are responsible for building these buildings. The architect of the house was a very clever designer.

The servants did not notify, but directly opened the door with their hands. Wang Yue looked over curiously. There was no one inside the door, but rows of neatly arranged bookshelves.

The bookshelf is dark in color, without any engraved patterns, and looks a little old-fashioned. There are a lot of books on the shelf, which should have been carefully tidied up. Although there are many books, they don't look crowded, but very refreshing.

When walking through the bookshelves, Wang Yue saw that each book was covered with an exquisite book cover, and the title of the book was written in delicate handwriting on the spine. If you only look at the spine, these books seem to be just decorations, and have never been used by the owner. It seems to have been used.

But when I read it open-faced, the pages of the book were yellowed and slightly curved. Although they had been smoothed and squeezed as much as possible, they still couldn't cover up the traces of years of reading on these books.

It seems that the owner of this small building is a book lover!

But thinking that the son-in-law was able to renew the dictionary in just three years, which was worth the years of work of many people, the love of books seemed very common.

All the way up, the servants did not stop, but led them to the second floor.

The stairs were covered with thick blankets, and there was a rustling sound when stepping on them, but it didn't sound too harsh in this quiet small building.

As Wang Yue walked, she envied the owner of this small building. It would be great if he could also have such a small building where his books are stored!

Standing at the entrance of the second floor was a young man about the same age as Wang Yue. He was dressed in the same servant costume as a princess, and bent slightly. People go inside.

There are also many bookshelves on the second floor, but there is a large open space near the window. You can see a small machine for guests. There is a thick blanket under the small machine, so you can sit on the floor.

The boy beckoned the two to sit down, then took out the tea set and small stove from a small antique shelf next to him, and prepared to cook tea for the two.

The tea used to entertain guests here is very good, and the servant's craftsmanship is also good, so although the two of them waited here for a while, they were not in a hurry and concentrated on tasting the tea.

After an unknown amount of time, rustling sounds came from the other side of the second floor, and a few minutes later, a person appeared behind the bookshelf.

The man looked to be in his forties, with a fair complexion and handsome features. One could tell from a glance that he was a handsome guy when he was young.

Although he has some wrinkles, but because his skin is delicate and well maintained, he doesn't look old.

His hair was neatly tied up, black and bright, without the gray hair that usually appears in men in their 40s.

He was only wearing a simple green shirt. Although the style was simple and there were not many embroidery patterns on it, but because of his radiant temperament, he had a bit of nobility.

The man came over, nodded to Mr. Gao, and said softly, "Are you here? How about the tea?"

"The tea is very good." Mr. Gao also smiled at him, and then said, "I heard that you have collected a lot of rare copies recently, may I be lucky enough to borrow them for a look?"

The man didn't agree immediately, but looked Mr. Gao up and down with a half-smile, then looked at Wang Yue again, and said with a sneer, "You're impatient, did he pour you ecstasy soup?"

"Is there any ecstasy soup? But people are indeed rare. If you don't want it, there are many people who want to snatch it?"

"Oh? Then I want to see how difficult it is." The man walked up to them, sat down, raised his chin, and said to Mr. Gao, "Are you still going?"

"Haha, then I'll take a step first." After finishing speaking, Mr. Gao stretched out his hand and patted Wang Yue's back, and said: "You stay here with this old guy for a few tricks, and I'll watch later Book, I will pick you up later."

Wang Yue knew that it was Mr. Gao who wanted to have a private discussion with the son-in-law. Wang Yue naturally knew that this was a necessary process. At least two people need to get in touch with each other beforehand.

Therefore, he nodded obediently and said, "Then I will wait here, sir."

"Well, then I'll go first." After finishing speaking, Gao Qili stood up, straightened his clothes, and was about to leave, but after taking two steps, he couldn't help but turn around and told Lin Qing: " If you don't want to accept it, don't be embarrassed, Mr. Luo and Mr. Zhou have already greeted me, if it wasn't for our friendship, I wouldn't bring him here!"

"Understood! Why are you so noisy? Don't hurry up." Lin Qing urged impatiently. Gao Qini could only give a wry smile, turned his head and left.

After he left, Lin Qing looked Wang Yue up and down carefully, and after a while, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "He is a good-looking boy with a good temperament, and he is worthy of him." To be my apprentice."

As he said that, he got up, walked to a row of bookshelves, pointed to a row of books and said: "I heard that you have the ability of photographic memory, come on, choose a book, I will give you a stick of incense time, and then recite it to me .”

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Wang Yue to express his opinion, so he ordered his servants to prepare incense. Although Wang Yue didn't like his arbitrariness, he was very confident in his ability, and he didn't want to be underestimated. He was so dissatisfied with Mr. Gao, so he resisted the will to refute, lowered his head, and said: "Then please wait a moment, sir."

After he finished speaking, he didn't act immediately, but waited until the young man serving Lin Qing lit the incense, and then went to the bookshelf to choose the book he was going to memorize later.

Seeing the titles on his back, Wang Yue couldn't help feeling a little greedy. Some of these books Wang Yue had heard of but never seen, and some had never even heard of them, and they were all lost in the market now. The only copy.

Although it is said that Emperor Tianzheng established a library at the beginning, and children from poor families can apply for a library card and borrow books for free in the library for only a few copper coins, but the books that can be seen there are relatively common books on the market. Occasionally some precious ones are very sought-after, and you have to rely on luck to get them.

However, most of the rare copies are still in the hands of the rich and powerful and the royal family, and they are not shown to the outside world.

Relatively speaking, Wang Yue was already very lucky. The Guozijian had a large collection of books, and he also saw many rare rare books through Tu Hui. However, compared with the books in front of him, he had seen too few before.

Resisting the urge to flip through every book, Wang Yue glanced back and forth, and finally picked out a book.

He didn't choose to take shortcuts and choose the thinnest book, nor was he proud of his ability and wanted to challenge the limit, but chose a book that was most suitable for him.

Wang Yue chose "Spring and Autumn Annals" as his scripture, and he is most familiar with books related to "Spring and Autumn Annals", so he chose a commentary on "Spring and Autumn Annals" written by a famous author.

This book is worthy of being written by a famous expert, and the views in it are very novel, which Wang Yue has never heard of. However, what this famous expert said is very reasonable and well-founded, which makes people unable to help but feel wandering.

Resisting the desire to read carefully, Wang Yue roughly doubled the words first, and memorized all the words and sentences in his heart, then looked at the small notes at the bottom, then closed his eyes, and recited silently in his heart, feeling himself After memorizing all the words and sentences in a book in his heart, he relaxed his mind and let himself wander in the ocean of knowledge!

The author has something to say: I just finished cooking, and I was waiting for the two brats to come back for dinner. I didn’t know what to eat at noon, so I went to the refrigerator and looked through it. There is a layer of fat meat, and the bottom is all lean meat, so I took it out, went to the supermarket and bought a purple cabbage, cut the bacon into thin slices, put it in a pan and fried it with oil, then added purple cabbage, red pepper, and a big fire Stir-fried, I didn't dare to add salt, I secretly tasted it, it was salty and spicy, very appetizing, I just waited for a while to eat it!
