Traveling through the starry sky just for you, I was a koi in ancient times

The short brown boy leaned back, tightened the hemp rope and was about to stand up.

A big hand reached out from the side and helped him unload the firewood to the ground.

"Chen's Third Brother, you are dying of exhaustion! How did you carry such a large bundle of firewood here?"

The uncle from Chenjia Village was kind enough to care about him...

This young man in short brown clothes is Chen Sanlang from Chenjia Village, and also Chen Zhiyuan whom Wang Jinyi misses. They are both desperately pursuing each other in their dreams. …

As the sun set and night slowly fell, Chen Sanlang carried the firewood back home with great difficulty. After packing it up, he sat in the yard to relieve his fatigue...

..............................

Under the same cover of night, Wang Jinyi took a shower early and went to bed. This day was full of various bizarre events and a large amount of information filled her brain.

Wang Jinyi was in excitement and felt that he needed to calm down, so he pretended to be asleep, closed his eyes and listened attentively. The wet nurse and Qingyu in the room tidied up quietly and fell asleep quickly.

Daddy hasn't come back yet, and the oil lamp in mother's room is still on, which shows how worried she is.

The third watch drum had sounded, and Wang Jinyi was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes. The sound of the second room's door being gently pushed open could be heard, and someone whispered.

Wang Jinyi struggled to get up quietly and lifted the quilt.

Alas! There was someone on night watch in the room. I couldn't get out of bed, so I could only listen quietly. The door of the east wing rang, and then the door of the second room closed.

The light of the lantern illuminated the yard. Dad returned to the main room, and then there was the sound of Qing'er's light footsteps walking along the porch towards the side courtyard where the maids lived.

The light in my mother's main room was always on! Even when Wang Jinyi fell asleep while sitting, the oil lamp in the main room was still on.

The next morning.

Qingyu gently lifted the lotus pink curtain and hung it with the hollow carved hook. The lady on the bed rubbed her misty eyes, as if she had just woken up, and asked in a childish voice:

"Nurse, is Daddy back?"

The nurse walked to the bed and continued with a smile:

"Oh, my lady, if you don't get up, I will go to the government school!"

Qingyu and the wet nurse served the young lady together. After she washed and dressed neatly, Wang Jinyi appeared in the west wing beautifully, like a chubby little baby girl with two small flower-bud hair combed into her hair.

Wang Jinyi jumped off the brocade stool in front of the dressing table, straightened the new coat she had put on today, refused the hands extended by the wet nurse and Qingyu, and walked out first, with the two following closely behind her.

When they arrived at the door, the wet nurse picked up the girl and carried her over the threshold. Wang Jinyi thought about the fact that the wet nurse had had half a month's salary deducted from her, so she stopped struggling and let the wet nurse carry the girl out.

The Wang family is a traditional scholarly family. Students get up at 1:00 a.m. every day, which is the time for morning reading. Then, they start eating breakfast.

Now, breakfast has been served. Because there are outsiders present, men and women still sit separately.

As the representative of the meal, Wang Jinyi sat on the small drum stool in the big chair, holding a spoon and ready to eat, but suddenly found that her mother was worried today? !

Wang Jinyi thought to himself that it must be related to the long talk between his father and grandfather yesterday.

When Wang Jinyi thought about this, even the food didn’t taste good anymore. He just ate a lot and then asked to leave the table.

After the mother and daughter had packed up and returned to the front hall, Ouyang Wenche went back to his east wing, leaving only the family gathered on the couch.

Wang Jinyi discovered that Wang Wendong seemed to be the only person in the family who had no worries and was truly happy.

My father had a smile on his face, but there were dark circles under his eyes. My mother seemed to have cried last night, and her eyes were slightly swollen.

Wang Jinyi stole a glance at her father, then stole a glance at her mother, not knowing how to start. Her brother asked at the right moment:

"Jin'er, I memorized the teacher's homework yesterday. Do you want to listen?"

Wang Jinyi was extremely supportive and raised his hands to shake them in cooperation:

"I want I want……"

My brother shook his little head and began to recite:

"The Master said, 'Is it not a pleasure to learn and to practise what one has learned?' A friend has come from afar..."

Wang Jinyi stared with big eyes, and a villain in his heart jumped up and pointed at Wang Wendong, "Brother, don't show off! This baby can recite most of the 20 chapters of "The Analects" word for word. Aren't you just coming to me for nothing and asking for trouble?"

Hey! Considering your parents are in a bad mood, I'll give you a chance to show off!

Look how kind I am, hehehe...

As I thought about it, I covered my mouth and laughed.

My brother got angry.

"Jin'er, why are you laughing at me?"

Wang Jinyi thought that she should put some pressure on her brother, and in order to divert her parents' attention, she picked out a few sentences and repeated them:

"Isn't it a pleasure to learn and practice from time to time? Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar? Isn't it a gentleman to be upset when you don't know?"

Seeing my brother's surprised expression, I turned to look at my equally surprised parents, and heard my brother ask unconvincedly:

"Mother, how could you teach Jin'er first and not me?"

The elder brother pouted angrily. The father also stared at his daughter intently:

"Have you read Xue Er to him?"

Obviously, this was a question to the mother. The mother looked at her daughter and asked:

"Jin'er, can you carry what your brother carried just now?"

Wang Jinyi hesitated, wondering if he should...his brother took over and asked:

"Jin'er, can you understand?"

Wang Jinyi thought, in his previous life, he learned the method of rapid memory just to make it easier to remember some ancient classics. Now it seems that it is always useful for people to learn more skills.

My brother memorized the first chapter of "The Analects of Confucius". If the inheritance is in order, it can be said that he recited it with ease.

Well, just show it appropriately and don’t reveal your true colors!

So Wang Jinyi recited the eight days' learning results that his brother took a whole day to memorize, but he stopped after reciting a section haltingly.

He couldn't stop, because Daddy and Mommy's eyes were already wide open, with little stars twinkling in their eyes, countless little stars...

My mother's dignified demeanor was gone, her mouth opened into an "O" shape, and my brother looked ashamed. What should I do? Let's end it.

Wang Jinyi made a prompt decision and stopped reciting. There was a sense of stagnation in the room. In order to break the deadlock, Wang Jinyi made up a story:

"Sister Yaoyao went out to play with her friends and was very happy. Then Junzi came and brought his brother..."

After Wang Jinyi's interruption, the parents finally regained their composure. Their daughter was a little clever and could recite what she heard, but she was still a child and could not understand the deep meaning.

The happiest person was the elder brother. After discovering that his younger sister did not understand the profound meaning of "Learning", he almost jumped for joy, as if he had finally maintained his dignity as an elder brother:

"Jin'er, I can teach you. I'll teach you when I come back next time during the ten-day break."

The family's parent-child time diluted the inexplicable sadness in the surprise. The brother and sister were left on the bed, one teaching seriously and the other "trying hard" to learn.

Just like that, the children's laughter echoed in the courtyard of the second room, and the parents went into the inner room to pack the father's package to go back to the mansion to study.

Near noon, a message was sent from the upper room for the men to gather there.

When Daddy stepped out of the room, Mother reached out and tugged at his sleeve, which was rare. Daddy turned around with a smile and looked at his daughter who was still happily waving to her brother in his wife's arms.

Looking at his wife who was hesitant to speak, he rarely reached out and tucked the hair behind her ears:

"don’t worry."

After leaving the house, he didn't look back and strode out of the courtyard. The brother waved happily to his mother and sister, and jumped and chased his father out of the second courtyard...
