The Bookish Scholar of the Red Mansion

The library is located next to the study, but the two rooms are independent of each other and are not connected to each other.

With a little excitement, Chen Heng followed Daiyu and pushed open the study door together.

Then, he was truly shocked.

What appeared in front of me were rows of neatly lined bookshelves. Chen Heng's eyesight was very good, and he could decipher the titles of the books in the first row at a glance.

With just this glance, he saw names such as The Legend of Gongyang and The Book of Da Dai Li. There were too many people queuing up in the academy for the former, and Chen Heng didn't get his turn even after waiting several times. The latter only Hear its name but don't see its thing.

Seeing the treasure in front of him, Chen Heng still restrained himself and stepped forward to the bookshelf. He first followed the distribution of the bookshelves, walked around a few times, and read through all the approximate titles.

I can't believe that your family actually has Shui Jing Zhu? Chen Hengxin paused, walked a few more steps, and suddenly pointed at something and said, This... is this Salt and Iron Theory?

Even Chen Heng had heard of the famous name of this book in his previous life. Some people once joked that it was the wings of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which propelled General Wei and Huo to gallop across the grassland and achieve unparalleled achievements.

It's a pity that Chen Heng only put it in his favorites because the book was obscure and difficult to understand.

Daiyu covered the corner of her lips with the handkerchief and explained with a chuckle, Dad brought this from his hometown in Gusu. I heard that my grandpa was here... Daiyu tilted her head and thought about the place name several times, probably because she didn't remember it. Just say, I bought it from the south.

Chen Heng nodded, continued to read with great joy, and secretly marveled at the books that appeared in front of him, Has Uncle Lin even read Qi Min Ya Shu?

As soon as he said this, Chen Heng raised his hand and slapped his forehead, secretly thinking that he was too excited.

Encourage teaching to teach farmers to make mulberry trees, encourage teachers to teach farmers to make mulberry trees. If you haven't even read this book, how can you have the nerve to say that you should teach teachers to teach farmers to make mulberry trees?

Seeing her brother acting mischievously, Lin Daiyu suppressed the smile on her lips and walked slowly to the light. This beam of light shone in from the wooden window. Daiyu was not tall, and her whole body was bathed in the light, which actually made her already fair skin appear more transparent.

Brother, are you so happy?

Lin Daiyu blinked and played with the light pink handkerchief with both hands.

Um.

Chen Heng didn't bother to turn around. He was still hesitating which book he should read first. But when I think about it, I can only take a few brief glances today, and my heart is filled with regret.

Why is the Lin family's collection of books so large and diverse? Chen Heng really wished he could move a bed and live here without going anywhere.

In fact, Chen Heng has not turned around in his mind. In addition to the property and property left by the four generations of the Lin family, the collection of books collected by these generations is the real hard work of the Lin family.

As long as this collection of books exists, even if the Lin family is temporarily in decline in the future, as long as a worthy descendant emerges, they can shine at any time and regain their former glory.

Chen Heng spent a long time choosing, and finally chose On Salt and Iron.

He hurried to the table and chair with the books in his arms, sat down and turned over the books by himself.

Lin Daiyu was also interesting. She didn't say anything when she saw this. She just called her maid and whispered a few instructions. Then he also took a book and sat next to his brother.

Soon, the maid came back with a pot of freshly brewed tea. Daiyu signaled the other party to put it down. She stood up and made two cups. After it cooled down slightly, she said to Chen Heng, Brother, have a cup of tea first, and then you can take your time and watch.

Um.

Chen Heng responded softly, glanced at the position of the tea cup, picked it up and brought it to his mouth. As a result, the tea still had some residual warmth, which made him shudder.

Little sister Lin didn't know that she would encounter a second senior brother eating ginseng fruit, so she couldn't help but said angrily: Brother, why don't you blow on it first? Let me see if it's hot.

Chen Heng took a few breaths of cold air, finally relieved his mood, and then waved to Daiyu, It's okay, it's okay, it's not that hot. I was not prepared myself and drank too quickly.

He raised his hand to check On Salt and Iron again, and said with relief: Fortunately, the book is fine.

Lin Daiyu shook her head helplessly, suddenly feeling that her brother was still a bit stupid. She took Chen Heng's cup again and put in another cup.

This time, she had to let the tea cool for a while before telling her brother.

Every move of the two juniors was naturally sent to the front hall to report to the mistress. After hearing this, Mrs. Jia pulled Mrs. Liu and said with a smile: Sister, guess what they are doing now.

Mrs. Liu pursed her lips, thinking about her understanding of Heng'er, and she quickly said confidently: I couldn't guess Yu'er at first glance. Heng'er must be reading a book.

Jia Shi smiled and nodded, not surprised that the other party got the answer right.

It's a good thing for Yu'er to have such a diligent and studious brother. It was Lin Ruhai who spoke, with a bit of pride on his face. If these two people can supervise each other's studies in the future, it will be a good thing for her. Save me the trouble.”

Wang Xianming laughed at the side at the right time, but something suddenly occurred to his mind. He coughed lightly and said to Lin Ruhai: Ruhai, my brother-in-law has something to ask you for help.

As soon as he opened his mouth, Lin Ruhai had already guessed what he was thinking and said, What my brother-in-law wants to say is to let Heng'er come to my house to borrow books.

How do you know? Wang Xianming was a little dumbfounded. Could Lin Ruhai still predict things?

When discussing a topic, every word and every sentence is a matter of painstaking effort. How can I say something meaningful without reading tens of thousands of books?

Lin Ruhai has a good appearance and temperament. He is nearly forty years old, which is really the best age for a man. Now when it comes to reading, the confidence in his words makes his temperament rise to a higher level, like an orchid jade tree standing in the hall.

It's a great thing to help your children study. Brother-in-law, feel free to tell Heng'er that as long as he doesn't delay his homework in the academy, the Lin family's library is waiting for his arrival at any time.

Seeing the head of the family's decision, Jia agreed, When Jue'er's health gets better, let him study with his brother and learn the hard work together.

Jue'er was still ill. Mrs. Liu's eyebrows twitched slightly, but she said: It's so good. Heng'er often takes his brother to study at home.

Mrs. Liu took out the little things about Chen Heng and told them to her younger brothers and sisters. After everyone laughed, the atmosphere became lively again.

It's Shen time in a blink of an eye.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Jia hurriedly recruited people to arrange a banquet. Because they were going out to watch the Yangzhou Lantern Festival in the evening, their family had to eat early to fill their stomachs, but they would not eat too much. When the lantern festival was over, there would be a banquet waiting for them at home.

After calling Chen Heng and Daiyu out of the library, Jia held Lin Jue who had just woken up. There were seven people at a table, and the host and guest were enjoying themselves.

After spending half a day together, Daiyu became bolder in front of Chen Heng, pointing at her brother and talking about the other's embarrassing things.

Chen Heng's eyes wandered to Jia and Lin Jue, thinking about Father Lin's help to him and his friendship with Daiyu, and he felt inexplicably worried.

But there were some words that I didn't have the identity, position and persuasiveness to say. After struggling for a while, I felt a little bored.

Sister Lin thought her brother was thinking about the unfinished book, so she secretly kept the matter in mind and planned to find an opportunity to tell her father after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After dinner, everyone is getting ready to go out.

There were seven people in the group, riding in three carriages. Lin Ruhai and Mrs. Jia took one car with their son in their arms, the master and his wife took one car, and Chen Heng and Daiyu took another car, accompanied by their grandmother.

Brother, are you still thinking about that book?

Worried about the cold night, Jia specially put a cloak on Daiyu. At this moment, Daiyu, who looked like a fairy under the moon, was looking at him with bright eyes.

Chen Heng could feel the other party's concern, so he put aside his worries first, and continued the topic: The sentence in the book, 'The wise change with the times, and the wise adapt to the circumstances.' It is so well said that I can't help but Extricate yourself.”

Daiyu hadn't read the book yet, so she couldn't help but pull Chen Heng to ask about the contents of the book. The two of them got happier and happier as they talked, and they were still discussing this even when they got out of the car.

Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Liu smiled at each other, and each held a carrot head and led them into the boat.

This is the place where Chen Heng got off the boat and landed in the morning.

When the guests were seated, the boatman raised his wooden pole and shouted loudly: Let's go.

The boat is like a flying star at night, and the river is like a river of stars in the sky. One pole after another, passing through arch bridges. When passing the third arch bridge, there were suddenly loud voices and bright lights in the distance.

When they got closer, the little girl Daiyu stood up excitedly, pointed at the dim spot, and said: Brother, look.

The boat was swaying in a hurry. Chen Heng was worried that she would not be able to stand firmly, so he quickly stepped forward to support her and said, Sit down and watch, it's the same.

Isn't that just like a little old man? Daiyu said angrily. She shook her little head and saw that there were hostas and steppers in her bun. When she moved, she made a jingling sound, which was very interesting.

Chen Heng had no choice but to let go of his hand and stand aside, just in case. Unexpectedly, Xiao Daiyu reached out and grabbed his lapel and said excitedly: Brother, look, it's a lantern.

Chen Heng looked over and saw a ten-mile long street filled with people. A long line of lanterns connected with each other illuminated the shops along the river. The light shines on the river, and the light is mixed with starlight, illuminating the turquoise water, as clear as a mirror.

On the streets and alleys along the river, there are stalls if there are houses, and factories if there are no houses. There are sheds outside the factories, and stalls outside the sheds, every inch. It attracts tourists to forget to return and keeps boaters lingering.

After crossing the fifth arch bridge, there were many men, women, old and young holding lanterns, standing by the river on both sides. After hearing an order from one of them, everyone put the lanterns on the water.

Yangzhou people have three loves: bamboo, fragrance and lotus. The season of July and August is the season for enjoying lotus flowers in the city, and the city is filled with the fragrance of blooming lotus flowers. Who would have thought that Yangzhou people were still not satisfied with this, and wanted to use lotus lanterns to illuminate the river water like the jade belt of Tiangong.

As the boat sailed by, the ripples pushed hundreds of lanterns away, and then led them down the river.

On the arch bridge, people crowded around and pointed at the lanterns in the river. As the boat goes away, you can still hear a man above asking the person beside you, How is it? Does it look good?

Chen Heng, who was far away, could no longer hear how his companion would answer, but Daiyu on the side bent over, her eyes illuminated by the light showing the other person's innate agility.

Brother, do you look good?

Chen Heng laughed loudly, It's not enough to boast about the beautiful scenery on a good day.

Daiyu smiled and straightened up, hooking her hands into her hair that was blown by the wind. Colorful lights shone on her side.

She pointed into the distance, Going over there is the Baoan Lake.

Chen Heng nodded, he knew.

A grander celebration is still waiting for them.

The editor told me that it could be put on the shelves on the 1st, hahahahaha, I thought about it and pushed it. I will let you read it for free for another week. I just hope that you will not keep books and forget about my helpless seedling.

But you guys are really fierce. Yesterday, my monthly ticket was only over 200, but you guys did it to more than 400, which scared me. . . . .

I will keep a record of everyone who tips, and I will save them for the comments on the shelf and thank them together. (Worried about the starting point counting the number of words in our text)

I bow to my book friends, thank you very much for liking this book!
