Love in the Red Chamber

Chapter 140 The Romance and the Moon

Qin Zhong slowly wrote down the key points of today's talk on the black lacquer board.

This focus is on Jalan.

It's a pity that even though he was thinking about the contents of his mind with great interest, even forgetting things like the favorability of Grandma Zhu Li Wan, he couldn't predict the exciting things in the garden.It is definitely not an easy thing for women with different personalities but beautiful appearance to gather together.

Either he broke his waist, or he died.

Some things are more frightening than death.

At this time, no matter whether it was brothers or sisters, or the grandmas, mothers and maids beside them, they all looked curiously at the big board in the hallway.

It's just that some people looked at Qin Zhong attentively; some people just glanced at Qin Zhong softly.

"It's the first time I've seen a lecture like this." Li Wan whispered.

Although she never went to a family school to study when she was young, she also had a teacher.Especially seeing Qin Zhong standing in the corridor, he looked taller than before, with an inexplicably majestic air.This really made her feel puzzled.

But Qin Keqing knew what Qin Zhong was trying to do.There was a low wooden box in it, Jingqing stepped on the wooden box and looked down from a high position, that kind of majesty was born spontaneously.

Ke Qing smiled lightly, and didn't bother to reply to Li Wan's words, she was looking forward to Qin Zhong's next performance.

Like Qin Keqing, Xue Baochai was sitting with Lin Daiyu.

Baochai didn't come here for anything else today, he just wanted to see Qin Zhong's lecture style.

just listen...

Qin Zhongdao: "A plant is roughly divided into several parts: roots, stems, leaves, flowers, fruits, and seeds. Take the chrysanthemum blooming in the garden as an example, it also has these parts. So I have a question right now. Ask everyone, who knows which parts of the chrysanthemum plant are the vegetative organs."

Having said that, Qin Zhong glanced at the gallery.

At the beginning, he struggled with the word 'nutrition' for a while, but he really couldn't find a substitute.After asking Li Wan, I found out that the two characters are also used here, but the meaning is slightly different from the previous life.It is the most desirable to put it in the plant.

To nourish, to nourish, means to build up, to nourish.

All the brothers and sisters in the hallway have read books. They may be a little confused when they first saw the word nutrition, but they understood it immediately after a while.

Baoyu was already looking at the novelty of the teacher Qin Zhong, and when he heard this question, he pretended to be a student and got up, and couldn't help showing off: "I know this. There is a saying in Du Fanchuan's poems in the Tang Dynasty that the foundation is deep and solid, and Ke Ye Zizi nourishes', Jingqing said that the nutrient organ is naturally the root. The root, the root, that's it."

It's a pity that Qin Zhong is the only one who is "ignorant and incompetent" at present, but he doesn't know this poem, and he can't remember who is the famous Du Fanchuan through the ages.

Xue Baochai, Lin Daiyu and others knew about Layman Fan Chuan, and had even read Baoyu's poem.

The whole poem is:
All things have ugliness and goodness, and each has its own shape.Only people are not enough, learning and not learning.

To learn is not to explore its flowers, but to dig its roots.Filial piety and honesty, never forget your words.

The root is deep and solid, and Ke Ye grows by itself.If you don't miss this, I hope to celebrate our door.

It is a message from Tang Dynasty writer Du Mu to his son Du Caoshi before his death, and it is also a poem to encourage learning and benevolence.

Lin Daiyu secretly glanced at Baoyu, then lowered her eyebrows quietly.

Xue Baochai recalled that day's remonstrance to Baoyu, which made her angry all over again, and she just thought to herself: I have memorized so many poems, but I haven't memorized any of the words in the poems.

Feeling so emotional, Baochai looked at Qin Zhong again, and thought again: He has learned the basics, and also has filial piety and honesty.

For thousands of years, the evaluation of talents has been nothing more than just a few aspects. Those who can learn the fundamentals and be filial and honest will naturally shine on the family lintel.

"Jing Qing is indeed different from other brothers."

Xue Baochai sighed secretly, Jingqing was the only man known to have these qualities.

"What Baoyu said is not bad. Roots are the root, just like a person's mouth and nose. If you seal a person's mouth and nose, you will not be far from death. But the book also says that some plants without roots can grow when cut into the soil. So The snout of a plant is more than just a root."

Qin Zhong spoke, but no one below made a sound.

He saw strange expressions on everyone's face, and he didn't know what these people were thinking.On the contrary, Baoyu pondered for a moment, and then suddenly beamed with joy and shouted: "It is extremely, extremely. There is a poem titled "Song of Grapes" in the previous dynasty. It’s not just cutting branches to live!”

I... so...

This boy Baoyu took the wrong medicine today, did he deliberately find fault?

I asked you to answer questions, and didn't ask you to show off your ink by citing classics.How many books do you read?How many poems do you know?
Qin Zhong was a little speechless.Baoyu is a freak, knows all kinds of miscellaneous poems, and has read countless miscellaneous books, but he has nothing to use.On the contrary, he doesn't want to take the exam for fame, and he doesn't want to seek official status. Whoever wants him to make progress is a bastard who talks nonsense.

Blindly wanting to be in the Rouge team is a fucking waste of a head with a good memory!

Qin Zhong felt a little bit like Jia Zheng now, he hated iron for being weak!
"If this was my son, I would have to beat him up to relieve my anger!" Qin Zhong thought to himself while nodding his head in praise.

"Baoyu has a wide range of knowledge, and what he said is indeed true. In addition to the roots, the stems and leaves of the plant are also vegetative organs."

Qin Zhong spoke slowly, without asking any questions, for fear that Baoyu would say another poem about leaves.He continued: "Everyone just visited the yard, and you must have discovered something. In some places, the flowers of chrysanthemum plants are small, or the plants are short. The reason for this is not only the root system, but also its stems and leaves."

He slowly glanced at the girls again, and finally looked at Grandma Zhu Li Wan and Qin Keqing.

Said: "Plants are the same as people. People need nutrition if they want to be comfortable and able to work. One part of human nutritional supplements is rice noodles, green vegetables, meat, eggs, fruits, etc., and the other part is God-given atmosphere and sunlight. One In order to be comfortable and free from disease, a person must eat, and occasionally feel the sunshine. The same is true for plants!"

He paused.It's a pity that no one cooperated with him, and no one even said that 'plants must be eaten'.

He said: "Plants grow in the soil and absorb the nutrients in the soil for food. If the nutrients in the soil are thin, it is like people who have no food in their homes. They will starve to death. If there are not enough nutrients in the soil, the environment is not suitable and they will get sick. .”

Qin Zhong then talked about the photosynthesis of plants based on the shortness of some plants.

Just as he was talking about fascination, there was a noise outside.

"I'm late!" A woman's silver bell-like voice came from the chaoshou verandah, "Where did Uncle Zhong talk?"

When everyone looked around, they saw a beautiful woman in a laurel double skirt surrounded by a few maidservants in the verandah, coming all the way gracefully.The woman holds a silk in her hand, wears a jeweled forehead, and a hairpin with patterned tassels on the back of her head.

The tassel swayed with her footsteps and moved with her body.The slender waist is graceful and slightly twisted, and the double-breasted robe trembles slightly.

"Why is she here?"

Not only Qin Zhong, but many people have this doubt in their hearts.Even Tanchun frowned a little, it would be fine at any other time, after what happened before, Tanchun didn't have much affection for this Dongfu nephew and daughter-in-law.

Women's insight is very strong, and women's intuition is also very accurate.

When Xia Jingui came to the garden, he was not rude.First went to meet Li Wan, Grandma Zhu's grandmother, and then asked Qin Keqing who had met once, before entering the hallway to salute with all the uncles.

Jingui explained: "When I was at Xia's house in the past, I also liked to listen to these things. I was very interested in it. Today, after listening to Uncle Zhong's lecture here, I came here in a hurry."

Qin Zhong couldn't say anything, so he asked her to find a seat and sit down.

Xia Jingui didn't try to steal the limelight, she just sat down next to Baochai and Daiyu.

Seeing this, Qin Zhong ignored Xia Jingui for the time being and continued to talk about the soil.

Different properties of soil structure have different effects on different plants.

There are three types of soil:
Sandy soil, mainly sand grains, loose soil.It has strong ventilation and water permeability, and is prone to drought and soil erosion.

Clay, mainly clay, compact soil.Ventilation and water permeability are extremely poor.But water retention, fertilizer retention ability is extremely strong.

Loamy soil, moderately sandy and viscous, sticky but not solid, loose but not loose.It has good ventilation and water permeability, and can also retain water and fertilizer, making it suitable for cultivation.

According to the classification of food crops, sandy soil is suitable for planting sweet potatoes, potatoes, peanuts, sesame, etc.; clay soil is suitable for planting rice, wheat, corn, etc.; loam soil is suitable for planting vegetables, melons, corn, sorghum, etc.

The girls were not interested in listening to these things, and Baoyu was also not interested.

Du Jialan copied from time to time by himself.

For the rest, Grandma Zhu and Qin Keqing had very soft eyes.

Qin Keqing thought to herself: "Where did he get so much knowledge?"

Li Wan thought to himself: "What he said is practical. If anyone knows these principles and becomes an official in a local area, he will not make foolish cases for the peasants and common people."

Xia Jingui's eyes were bright, and he didn't want to take his eyes off Qin Zhong for a moment.

"So that I didn't come here in vain. Uncle is so handsome, his face, eyes, and nose are more real than in a dream. How can he be so good-looking, it makes my heart feel hot and itchy. See Look at his tall and straight figure, if you can get into his arms, you won't change it even if you make me an emperor. Oh, my body is getting weaker and weaker, when will I be able to..."

Qin Zhong naturally noticed Xia Jingui's eyes.

People are a little numb!My whole body is a little numb... Weird numbness!All of a sudden, I remembered the feeling of being caressed and touched the day before yesterday.

What the hell!
I can't calm down anymore!
I can't calm down at all.What does this woman want to do, what does she want to do!
Qin Zhong's limbs were quietly stiff, he was at a loss, he even forgot what to say.Just look down at the content on the paper, and take the opportunity not to look up, pretending that Xia Jingui is not looking at him from below.

"Uncle Zhong spoke really well. After all, he is a learned talent. No wonder he was bestowed an official status by the court." Jingui's eyes were fiery, and while looking at Qin Zhong, he sighed gently with Xue Baochai.

Xue Baochai's brows became tighter and tighter.

Qin Zhong blushed when he heard this.What is erudition? When it comes to erudition, he really doesn't have Baoyu's erudition.

It's just that he learned deeply.

Especially in planting, his roots are deeper than anyone else!This is his profession, his specialty.

Qin Zhong carefully read the content on the following paper, and the latter was nothing more than about fertilizers.It’s not easy to talk about this directly, it’s best to give an example.So he said: "That's the end of the previous content, let's go into the garden and talk while swimming!"

After hearing this, Xia Jingui took the lead in applauding.

The rest of the girls looked sideways, and Li Wan also frowned secretly, not understanding what Xia Jingui was playing.I even feel that Jingui is suspected of overwhelming the host!

"Jingqing is giving Lan'er a lecture!"

Li Gongcai thought quietly, "In the future, it is better not to have too many people in the lectures. If there are fewer people, Lan'er can listen attentively."

The court judge suddenly thought that if there were no other people present, only she, Jia Lan, and Qin Zhong were present, then...

Also excellent!
Qin Keqing probably didn't know what happened the day before yesterday, and she wasn't worried about Xia Jingui's performance.She gently said to Grandma Zhu: "I won't be able to accompany Grandma right now, I will ask the servant girls to make some more tea for my brothers and sisters, and then prepare the preparations, so that everyone can have a lively meal here at noon."

There is no small stove in the yard here.Rongguo Mansion doesn't have a courtyard with a separate small stove. What to do is all in the same kitchen.

After hearing this, Li Wan also wanted to make his heart happy, and he didn't want to spoil the excitement.So he agreed, and asked again: "Have you prepared drinks in advance?"

Qin Keqing replied: "Second Grandma Lian said what kind of wine she wants, just ask someone to get it."

Li Gongcai didn't speak after hearing this, and let Qin Keqing lead the maid back to the room.She followed Qin Zhong and a group of girls to the flower bed in the garden.

As soon as Qin Keqing returned to the room, she called Yu Chuan'er, told her what the girls liked to eat, and gave Yu Chuan'er some reward money to the kitchen for the women to cook.

Yu Chuan'er said: "How can you use these, girls? Don't they just do it if they don't have money? I brought them money today, but I forgot to give it to them next time. They have something to say. Just leave it to me, girl." , what kind of dishes and soups do you want, and see which ones you don’t cook.”

Qin Keqing hesitated.

After all, this is not the Qin family, and she is not from the Rongguo Mansion, so she always feels bad if she has too many errands.

Yu Chuan'er laughed and said, "Young lady, why are you so stupefied? You just said that our uncle wants to invite you to drink. Who dares to neglect you? Not to mention all the girls and sisters in the courtyard, but also Second Master Bao and Uncle Xiaolan. Even if it is The uncle is not here, the girl invites the sisters alone, and the kitchen has to be done."

Qin Keqing looked sideways now, and immediately understood that the maid in front of her really had the order of the second wife.So he said with a smile: "You just take it, you take one by yourself, and ask the kitchen staff to share the rest."

Only then did Yu Chuan'er nod and took the money, wrote down the menu, and called two servant girls to follow them to the kitchen.

It only said that Qin Zhong was squatting in one place, stretching out his hand to fiddle with the chrysanthemums in the garden.

I don't think my body is getting hotter and hotter!

It was as if the whole person had been plunged into a furnace.

When I turned around, I saw that there were all the sisters and maids around.In particular, Xia Jingui squatted down close to each other, imitating him and stretching out his hands to provoke.Jia Lan on the other side also squatted down and looked at it with curious eyes...

Jia Baoyu didn't want to go there at first, and Lin Daiyu was curious and followed around.

Only Li Gongcai watched from afar.
