Rebirth of the Poor Girl

Tian Minyan walked out of the inner courtyard of Wenxiangju, came to the living room, and saw the shopkeeper Qin leading two assistants weaving something with colored paper and thread.

The colored paper on the table is of different colors, and butterflies, dragonflies, and birds have been weaved flexibly. Tian Minyan saw that it was the guy named Zhang Pingan who was weaving.

"Shopkeeper Qin, what is this for?" Tian Minyan picked up a concentric knot made of thread and asked with a smile.

"Tomorrow is the Qiqiao Festival, and our shop will also get some prizes to celebrate the festival." Qin Haitang said with a smile: "When the time comes, there will be river lanterns by the river in the town, and there will be Sai Qiqiao at the east end, and our shop will also There will be some small programs and some small gifts, so you guys can join in the fun tomorrow night."

Tian Minyan remembered that the Qiqiao Festival was coming, and it was the day when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl would meet again, so she smiled and said, "I will definitely come."

Coming out of Wenxiangju, Tian Minyan walked in the direction of the town school, and saw that many shops were busy with the Qiqiao Festival, or hanging lanterns, or hanging riddles, preparing to solicit business for their own shops .

Tian Minyan knew that begging was like this in the past. After people offered melons and fruits at home and worshiped gods, they would come out to the town to join in the fun. The girls even dressed up in costumes, hoping to find a lover on such a festival.

In her previous life, Tian Minyan basically didn't have the concept of begging for cleverness. It is said that it was Valentine's Day. She was busy with business. This kind of festival has passed before I remember it. Now I know that it was only when Luo Shi and Xiaoxing were talking. of.

Zhenxue Tian Minyan has been here a few times, she is sweet-talking and well-behaved, even the gatekeepers recognize her and know that she is here to see her brother and brother, so they let her in without much hindrance.

These days, she felt that Tian Minrui was a little bored, so she wondered if the school was being bullied, so she came to visit.

She first slipped to the elementary class to watch Xiao Wu. At this time, the slipped tables were lined up, and the husband was reading while holding a book, and the children were shaking their heads and reading along there.

Tian Minyan listened to it, and couldn't help laughing, what he was reading was the Three Character Classic.

She raised her neck and saw Xiao Wu sitting in the middle at a glance. However, although he shook his head, his eyes were closed and his mouth didn't move, as if he was sleeping.

Tian Minyan thumped, this brat is not lazy to sleep, is he?Before she could figure it out, she saw the teacher approaching him again, and tapped his desk with a teaching stick.

Yes, it was discovered by the teacher!

"Tian Minliang, you dare to sleep in class, stand up." The gentleman said calmly.

Xiao Wu was startled, stood up abruptly, but said: "Sir, I didn't sleep, I was reading silently."

"Still quibbling, your parents sent you to the school in the hope that you will stand out in the glory of your ancestors. In the future, you will be promoted to be an excellent minister. This is how you repay it? Wasting your studies for nothing? If you don't want to study, go home."

"Sir, I really didn't, I was really reciting silently." Xiao Wu said urgently: "If you don't believe me, listen to me recite a passage."

"Then you can carry it on your back."

"Which passage do you want to hear, sir?"

"Just start with the upbringing."

Xiao Wu coughed, and read aloud: "Dou Yanshan, there is a righteous prescription, teaching the five sons, they are all well-known, if they are not raised, the father and son have passed, the teaching is not strict, the teacher is lazy, the son does not learn, it is not suitable, and the child is not good. Learning, old age, jade can't be polished, can't be used..."

The whole school was quiet, except for Xiao Wu's loud voice of reciting, writing in a round accent, standing up straight, with his little hands behind his back, and his chest straight, Tian Minyan suddenly felt his eyes moist.

Her Xiaowu is a student who makes her husband a headache. He loves to play and make trouble, and sometimes contradicts her husband and refute, but he is kind-hearted and friendly to his classmates.Her little five was once so angry that his husband punished him and asked her to take him back, saying that he could not become a master, but now he can recite the Three Character Classic neatly.

Xiao Wu, who Tian Minyan was listening to, memorized the complete set of Three Character Classics, and listened to the question from her husband in surprise: "Why can't jade be cut and crafted?"

"Jade cannot be made into a utensil without being carved, and the metaphor is the same. It is difficult to become a useful person without suffering. Sir, I know it." Xiao Wu grinned.

Tian Minyan also smiled, left quietly, and went to the classroom where Tian Minrui was. However, Mr. Xu Shi was resting, and there were only a few people in the classroom, and the others went nowhere, and even Tian Minrui was nowhere to be seen.

Tian Minyan was a little puzzled, so she walked slowly around the school, and when she reached a rockery in the garden, she suddenly heard two voices talking, and she stopped.

"The old man has been working for a long time, and he is a bit dependent on his old man. These people can't just say goodbye, otherwise they will say that you are ruthless and cruel. After all, you came here with your grandfather."

Tian Minyan recognized that it was Tian Minrui's voice, and couldn't help being taken aback for a moment.

"Hmph!" A boy with a voice like a male duck said disdainfully: "A group of old men, they haven't rented a house for three days. My old man has been there for several years. How can he pretend to be like this now by talking about him?" Grandpa. If it’s not for the sake of the old man, I don’t care if he is ruthless or not. If he resigns, he will resign.”

"Hehe, you are also angry, so you can do it for a while. Sometimes, rumors can destroy people. The so-called public opinion can make money. If they unite with one heart and say that you are wrong, there will be old Fang's. No, maybe you don't care, but it will have a great impact on the reputation of your Fang family. If you spread out the old shopkeeper who treated you harshly, who would dare to do business with your family in the future?" Tian Minrui asked in a loud voice: "You still don't want to do business. business?"

"How is it possible." The duck said: "Then what do you say, occupying the latrine and not shitting, things can't be done well, if this continues, raising this group of moths, my old Fang's family will be ruined sooner or later. "

"Fang Yu, do you know why there have been left and right ministers in the Southern Kingdom?" Tian Minrui smiled again: "Also, do you know what it means to be both born Yu and He Shengliang?"

"Stop showing off, it's not like you don't know that I was forced to come to school." Said the boy Tian Minrui called Fang Yu.

"Since Shengyu and He Shengliang mean that since Zhou Yu appeared, why bother to have another Zhuge Liang who is as smart as him to compete? The purpose of setting up left and right is to prevent one force from dominating. In order to divide and manage which one is difficult to control Yes, you have to set up another one to compete with him, just like our left and right hands, no one is worse than the other, and no one can overwhelm the other, but you, the master, are at your disposal." Tian Minrui said lightly: "Anyone who can get along with the old man must have something special about him. Sometimes one size fits all can't get the best results, but the loss outweighs the gain. If you can't get rid of them, why don't you try to subdue them? Let them be your left hand? "

"what do you mean?"

"There must be people on the old man's side who can't see it. You gather the people who belong to you, insert them, and compete with each other. It would be great if you can get rid of the old man's class, but you still have to replace them in the future." One of them competes with the one you put in now, and you must not let one dominate. They supervise each other below, so they can't act rashly, you, the master, can you still have a headache?"

Fang Yu was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed: "Minrui, you are so smart, how do you know? It's a pity, with your natural management ability and brains, it's a pity not to do business."

Tian Minrui smiled wryly, and said, "What I know, I just learned from my sister."

"That sister of yours is also a very good one. She wants to take me to meet someday. But, Brother Rui, do you really want to take the imperial examination?" Fang Yu changed the subject and said, "You are straightforward, although you have some You have a smart mind, but it's not enough for this jar to muddle through."

"Although I don't know the reason, I also know that in this officialdom, you either have to be slick and wear all kinds of masks to become like them, or you can be a lonely minister and disdain to be with others. But Minrui, lonely minister It's not a good job." Fang Yu sighed and said, "You are obviously interested in doing business, why did you choose this way? I was forced to take the test for fame, and I will not be an official in the future."

"My family's expectations are too high. If I say that I don't take the imperial examination, they will be very disappointed." Tian Minrui snorted and said, "But it's too early to say this now. We are only 11 years old now, and we are still children. If you didn’t pass the exam, then why would you say that you are not an official?”

"You really think that everyone thinks you are simple and honest, don't pretend, with your brain, it will be difficult to win the fame of Tongsheng?" Fang Yu snorted, and said: "To be honest, sometimes I I really envy you, you can always draw inferences from one instance, and your brain turns quickly. Although this book is not very good, it is much better than me. Even the writing is getting better and better. None of us can compare to you ah."

"It's just trying to drive ducks to the shelves. After all, I am slower than others to enlightenment. If I don't work hard, I will be slowed down. Besides, my sister works so hard to support us in school. I don't want to see her disappointed." Tian Minrui said: "We are poor. The children who come out have no good background, so they can only rely on themselves, without an umbrella, they can only run fast in the rain."

"Yes, yes, you say you are so young, you are so old, and when you say you are always reasonable, like a little old man in his seventies and eighties. Go back, sir will have to endorse again."

The two went back from the path on the other side, but they didn't find a girl standing there behind the rockery, listening to all their words.

Tian Minyan looked at the two half-year-old boys walking away with their shoulders crossed. The shock in her heart could not be calmed down for a long time. She never thought that she would know what her brother thought when she came to study on a whim.

Thinking of Tian Minrui's past, his indifference to the imperial examination, his enthusiasm for business, and his ideas, her heart suddenly became complicated.

Did she ignore Tian Minrui's true thoughts too much? What they thought might not be what he wanted.

The author said that when writing articles, there will always be confusion between ancient and modern times, especially when the days are always calculated according to the Gregorian and lunar calendars.There is no Gregorian calendar in ancient times, and the days from now on will only be according to the lunar calendar, and there are seasons, ahem, everyone, don’t catch me on this side, haha!
