PFC Chapter 161 Are you surprised?
Chapter 161 Are you surprised?
This is something reserved for royalty; it's not something ordinary people can use.
Dongfang Jin sat opposite him and said with a sly smile, "Didn't I say I was going to give you a surprise? Here, see for yourself, it's a super surprise."
Ryuji's expression piqued his curiosity, but his intuition told him that this was not a surprise and he shouldn't open it.
But ultimately, driven by curiosity, my hand involuntarily opened the box.
"Ouch!"
With a "snap," Long Er quickly slammed the lid back on. What did he see?
That scared me to death! Was he hallucinating?
She suddenly looked up at Dongfang Jin, her body trembling involuntarily.
Dongfang Jin looked at his expression and suppressed a laugh: "How about it? Surprised? Unexpected? Exciting?"
Long Er swallowed hard, his hands trembling. This wasn't a surprise, it was a shock!
Thinking about opening the box again, after seeing what was inside, I was certain that I wasn't hallucinating.
They quickly closed the box again; this time it was really exciting.
He stammered, "You...you should...put it away quickly. This...this thing...can't be seen by anyone else."
That old scoundrel Zheng Sihan is incredibly audacious! This is...this is going to...no wonder...
No wonder they're targeting the emperor at every turn, no wonder they're so eager to put the eldest prince in the highest position.
Heh, with that infatuated prince, if he can get that position, won't he eventually belong to the Zheng family?
When Dongfang Jin saw Gu Jingye and Shen Qihui walking over, chatting and laughing, she stopped talking and put the box into her spatial storage.
He put away his smile and asked seriously, "When are you leaving? I'll give you those things then, and I'll give you this one too."
She asked this because she felt that after the commotion she caused last night, the capital city would probably not be peaceful.
Long Er also saw the two children. He used his inner strength to calm himself down and waved his hand, saying, "I don't want them anymore. Those jewelry and such are useless to me."
I took quite a few silver notes and such, but as for that box, I'll leave it with you for now.
"I will return and report to my lord, and then we will decide what to do."
He cannot show his face yet. After the commotion last night, if he goes back, people will inevitably suspect that he is involved in this matter.
Dongfang Jin smiled at him without saying a word. This guy was quite cunning, but...
Let's leave it with her; it's definitely safe there.
"Little sister, Uncle Long."
"Auntie, Uncle Long."
Dongfang Jin walked over, took out the paper for them, and put it away: "You can practice your calligraphy. Your uncle has to go out."
Gu Jingye didn't move. He looked at her and said with a hint of disbelief, "Little lady, I've memorized the Thousand Character Classic. When would you like to teach me seven-character poems?"
"You can recite what I just taught you?"
Gu Jingye nodded: "I understand."
Shen Qihui blinked his big eyes: "Auntie, I can recite it too."
"Oh, you know them all."
Shen Qihui, with his hands behind his back, recited the poem with a swaying head: "Ascending the Stork Tower: The sun sets beyond the mountains, the Yellow River flows into the sea. To see a thousand miles further, ascend another story."
"Painting: From afar, the mountains are colorful; up close, the water is silent. Spring has gone, but the flowers remain; people come, but the birds are not startled."
"Autumn Evening in the Mountains: After a fresh rain in the empty mountains, the weather turns autumnal in the evening. The bright moon shines between the pines, and a clear spring flows over the rocks. The bamboo rustles as the washerwomen return, and the lotus stirs as the fishing boats descend. Though spring's fragrance has faded, the noble one may still linger."
"Seeking the hermit but not finding him: I asked a boy under the pine tree, and he said his master had gone to gather herbs. He is somewhere in this mountain, but the clouds are so deep that I do not know where."
Dongfang Jin reached out and tapped his dimple: "Not bad."
This kid is smart, learns everything quickly, and is lively. His personality complements Gu Jingye perfectly.
After saying that, he looked at the two of them and said, "Today I will teach you seven-character poems. I have taught you five-character poems before, so this is a bit more difficult."
Gu Jingye was a little excited: "Little sister, I want to learn."
Shen Qihui was also very excited: "Auntie, I want to learn too."
Dongfang Jin picked up a pencil and wrote as she read: "Okay, listen carefully. Little pond, the spring is silent and cherishes its gentle flow, the shade of the trees reflects on the water and loves the soft sunshine. The little lotus has just shown its pointed tip, and a dragonfly has already landed on it."
The poem means that the spring is silent because it is reluctant to give up its gentle flow, and the shade of the trees reflected on the water is because they love the sunshine and the gentle breeze.
As soon as the lotus leaves in the pond emerged from the water and showed their pointed tips, a mischievous little dragonfly landed on one of them.
You not only need to memorize it, but also write it down, and even more importantly, recite it from memory, understand?
Emma, she's getting more and more adept at cheating by directly copying from books.
This person is so shameless that they don't even care about it.
The two children said in unison, "We know."
Long Er looked at them and said, "Your knowledge is almost on par with the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy."
Dongfang Jin glanced at him sideways: "You're overthinking it. Aren't you going to write it down?"
Who is she doing this for?
Isn't it just a way of subtly revealing information to your master by teaching the children?
Otherwise, would your lord be so comfortable taking it? He's dirt poor, not even as wealthy as one of his ministers.
She felt like this journey to improve her luck was going to be a very long one...
We have to take it slowly and proceed step by step.
【Know. 】
Long Er shook his head: "No rush, I'll take it all after Xiao Shitou writes it down."
"Oh, so you were waiting here. Shouldn't you buy some paper for your nephew?"
We don't need fancy Xuan paper; anything usable for practicing calligraphy is fine.
Long Er laughed and said, "That's easy to say, it's no big deal. I'll take care of my nephew's paperwork from now on."
Dongfang Jin clapped his hands and gave a thumbs up: "Brother Long is so generous!"
When Gu Jingye heard that his second uncle had bought him the paper he would use in the future, he happily poured him a glass of water: "Thank you, Second Uncle Long."
Shen Qihui also expressed his gratitude.
Long Er picked up his cup and took a sip: "I wish you would stop being so greedy."
"Hurry up and write a poem; your second uncle will check your skills when you're done."
Gu Jingye blinked his big, bright eyes and said with a smile, "Okay."
From now on, their mother won't have to spend money to buy them paper for practicing calligraphy.
Dongfang Jin: "..." This money-grubber.
We've bought the paper, but what about the pens and ink? We haven't found those yet.
But thinking about all those writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones in the space, haha, that's enough for these little guys to use for over ten years.
She had taken over the entire study of the Duke of Wu's mansion.
Thinking it over, she reached out and handed Long Er a pre-printed, complete copy of the Thousand Character Classic from a box on one side: "I know you have your own channels for sending messages."
Long Er took it and slowly flipped through it, his movements gentle, as if the stack of papers were his own wife.
Dongfang Jin...
As for?
Just like last time when she gave him that complete version of the "Three Character Classic", Long Jiu acted the same way.
"Heaven and earth were dark and yellow, the universe was vast and boundless. The sun and moon waxed and waned, the stars and constellations were arrayed. Cold came and heat went, autumn harvest and winter storage..."
Near noon
When Jun Qirui and Shen Qijun returned, there was another person with them.
Dongfang Jin saw Liu Xi and walked over with a smile: "A rare guest, what brings you here on this day?"
Liu Xi scratched the back of his head sheepishly: "Jin-jie, we have too much stuff at home, so I brought it over for you."
My wife said the rest will be delivered with fresh mushrooms after the New Year.
Dongfang Jin didn't see his old ox and asked in surprise, "You just walked here like this? Where's your ox?"
Liu Xi scratched his head again: "There's snow everywhere outside, it's dazzling, so I didn't use it."
Dongfang Jin...
Forget it, she really can't understand this guy's thought process.
"Xiaojun, put all these things in the fourth room by the door."
Jun Qirui looked at the dried mushrooms in the bamboo basket: "Soak more of these mushrooms. Qi Jun and I bought a few chickens."
"Is the scholar off to play the role of Lei Feng again?"
