Tibetan Sea Pearl

Su Yue thought that the people she met recently were all good people. Mr. Huang who came to drink herbal tea was kind-hearted, and so was Prefect Lin. Prefect Lin was so enthusiastic about the big and small affairs of the people in the city, he was also a good person.

When I arrived at Yushan Academy, I heard the sound of reading aloud.

Behind a hundred-year-old big banyan tree, two rows of bamboo are planted. Behind the bamboo is a row of white walls and black tiles. The childish voice of reading "learn and learn from time to time. It's a joy..." from the white walls and black tiles. It is said that it is such an elegant and clean place.

Before school was over, Su Yue stood at the door and waited.The old man at the door knew Su Yong and knew that she was the second daughter of Su Ju's family, so he asked her if she had anything important to do with Su Ju.

"Abbot, it's nothing important. I just come here and wait for my dad to finish school today when I'm free." Su Yue smiled.

Uncle was in a good mood today, so he let her go inside and wait under the big tree.

The big banyan tree has luxuriant branches and leaves, the canopy is like an umbrella, long strands of whiskers hang down from the trunk, inextricably linked, swinging with the breeze, Su Yue plucks a small tree whisker and wraps it around her finger to play with Son.

There was a faint voice of someone talking from behind the green bamboo, Su Yue followed the sound, and through the mottled bamboo shadows, she could only see three figures from the back, one of them was wearing a brocade robe with the large sleeves fluttering in the wind, he was a young man, The other person was of medium height, and the person standing on the farthest side was wearing a half-worn blue straight embroidered suit, dressed as a schoolteacher, and his back looked very familiar.

Su Yong just remembered, isn't the person dressed by Mr. Teacher is her father, Su Yuanshan?When he went out today, he happened to be wearing a blue straight dress.

The three of them were talking, and the middle-sized man took out a pair of calligraphy and painting scrolls and handed them to Su Yuanshan, and the two bowed to Su Yuanshan to say goodbye, and their figures disappeared into the school behind them.

Su Yuanshan looked at the scroll in his hand, then turned to go back to school.

"Father." Su Yue stopped him from behind.

"Ah Yue, why are you here?" Su Yuanshan also saw his little daughter and walked over from the path beside the green bamboo, "But what happened at home?"

"I can't come to see you if I have nothing to do?" Su Yue smiled happily, stepped forward to take Su Yuanshan's arm, "I missed Dad, so I came here."

"You, really, if you miss your father, you won't go under the big lychee tree to make a pot of shochu, and wait at home for your father to go back." Su Yuanshan looked at his little daughter in a tone of reproach and pity.

"Those two people, who are they?" Su Yue pursed her lips towards the backs of the two people walking away.

"A talented scholar, who is about to end, ask someone to let dad hold his eyes and give pointers to the articles he wrote."

Every time he returned to Qiuwei, Su Yuanshan also started to be busy. People he knew would ask him to help the juniors in the family to point out the articles and point out the deficiencies. This circle is well-known.

"I'll help dad to see how this scholar's article is."

"Let's see when we go home."

Before Su Yuanshan could finish speaking, Su Yong had already snatched the scroll from someone's hand, and eagerly read it under the tree.

Su Yuanshan sighed when he saw his youngest daughter's appearance. The youngest daughter loved to read casual books and essays since she was a child. It's nothing to put it on a boy, but it's a bit redundant to put it on a girl. It's better for a girl to learn some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. .

Su Yue looked at ten lines at a glance, and couldn't help laughing while watching, "Writing is like a person, the articles written by this scholar are just like his people, flashy, with a gorgeous appearance, without any real connotation, if you want to be so What are you doing with such gorgeous rhetoric?"

Su Yuanshan stroked the short beard on his chin, looked at people and smiled, "It would be great if my Ah Yue is a kid, maybe he can give dad a champion in the examination and come back."

"I don't want to take the No. [-] Scholar and Tanhua exams. I'm exhausted from reading and writing every day."

Su Yue didn't pay attention to the three small characters "Gu Yannian" written on the header of the scroll at all. After reading it, she rolled up the scroll again and stuffed it into Su Yuanshan's arms, "Dad, I'd better take it back and read it carefully. I'm still waiting for Dad's comment. .”

"I approve it, and Ayue can write it too." Su Yuanshan smiled.

Su Yue pulled Su Yuanshan towards home, and asked if the school had accepted any new students in the past few days.

Speaking of new students, Su Yuanshan remembered that the prefect Lin sent a child over yesterday. He said that he was the nephew of the shopkeeper Chang Sheng. He was eight years old and hadn't been enlightened yet.

Children from rich families will invite private tutors to sit at home when they are four or five years old, and children from small families will be sent to academies in the city when they are six years old.

It's really too late when I'm eight years old.

Su Yuanshan saw that the person was brought by the prefect Lin himself, so he tested the child a few questions on the spot. The child could not be said to answer fluently, but he was smart and had a good personality, so it was not difficult to teach.

Reading is not only about knowledge, but more importantly, self-cultivation. When it comes to recruiting students, Su Yuanshan is different from other teachers, and he pays more attention to people's character.

"So, Dad accepted it?"

"The person was brought by the prefect Lin himself, how can I not accept it?" Su Yuanshan asked suspiciously, "You care so much about this matter, do you know that child?"

"Chang Sheng's nephew, I've met him before, he looks like a tiger, so cute." Su Yong was worried that Su Yuanshan would ask too many questions, and it was hard for her to answer, so she walked quickly while pulling his sleeves.

Being dragged all the way, Su Yuanshan was out of breath when he returned to Su's house.

Su Yong was very happy for Brother Xiao. In order to thank Su Yuanshan, she poured a cup of tea for her father when she got home, then turned to look for Mrs. Wang, and asked at the kitchen door, "Mom, what are we having for dinner tonight?"

"Eggplant and melon stuffed with sauce, Sixi soup with vegetable seedlings and fish balls, and your favorite stir-fried squid."

Mrs. Wang was steaming egg custard on the stove, while Sister Gui was watching anxiously in front of the pot, waiting for the egg custard made by her grandmother.

"The garlic sprouts in this season are not tall and tender, and they are the best for fried squid." Su Yue walked into the kitchen, hugged Sister Gui, and scratched her little nose with her hands, "Little greedy cat, just wait." It's my grandmother's egg custard."

The little man twisted and twisted in his arms, "The egg custard was made by my grandmother, so my aunt can't steal it."

"What does my aunt eat? My aunt has nothing to eat, she's hungry."

Sister Gui tilted her head seriously and thought for a while, this appearance amused the Wang family next to her, and wanted to drive Su Yue out, "Don't bully our Sister Gui anymore, no one can steal Sister Gui's food Egg custard, it seems that our sister Gui is in a hurry."

It just so happened that Xiao Hei Muxiu was at home today, and the whole family was there, and Mrs. Wang drank soju again, and the whole family sat around the backyard, drinking and eating, and ate until the bright moon was in the sky.

After dinner, Su Yuanshan had something to do, so he went to the study to light the oil lamp and read the articles of scholars.

Su Qing was sitting on the stone steps of the courtyard to enjoy the shade. Su Yue happened to meet a Shanxi merchant who was selling goods from the south to the north. He wanted to talk to Su Qing about it, so he walked over and sat down on the stone steps.
