After leaving the west gate of Zhangjia, there is the Yangzhou Xincheng River embankment. Walk along the Xincheng River embankment to the end and you can reach Yangzhou Shrimp West Lake.

In the early morning, it was drizzling. Lu Zheng was wearing a white straight-up robe, tied his hair up, and fixed it with a purple gold crown on his hair. After more than half a month of recuperation, his body was completely neat, and his behavior was very different from the past.

Qi Biao was following him, with a handsome and handsome man holding an oil-paper umbrella beside him. The little girl raised her body with handsome eyes and eyebrows. She looked around and was agile and oblivious to the world. As she walked forward, pedestrians on the road looked sideways.

Lu Zheng just walked forward casually, and his aura could intimidate pedestrians.

Hengwu Academy is a place that Lu Zheng must go every day, and everything is inferior. Only when he reads well, Lu Zheng now starts reading the simplest "Hundred Family Names". He still can't understand the Four Books and Five Classics. Ancient books have no punctuation and are all traditional Chinese characters. If he doesn't read the sentences clearly, how can he understand it?

On earth, he is not a talented man, nor is he afraid of jokes. When he encounters those outspoken surnames such as "Tu" and "Zhu", he really doesn't know him, so he can only use reference books.

He can't recite the "Three Character Classic" completely, and he can't recognize the "Thousand Character Classic".

He can only start from the basics when he is a tall building. Fortunately, he has basically learned these three books in half a month, memorized them well, and can write them correctly. Today he can read "Sound and Rhythm Enlightenment".

The books from the Dakang Dynasty were really expensive. A set of Four Books and Five Classics cost more than 40 taels of silver. Even for books like Xunmeng’s "Hundred Family Surnames", each book costs two to three taels of silver.

Although Lu Zheng had one or two hundred taels of silver on hand, he had to get some rewards every day, and the consumption was amazing. He was not sure that he would get the little money he received from the Zhang family every month. He had already spent dozens of taels of silver on the four treasures of the office, so he was really short of money on buying books.

Therefore, he came to the Bookstore to study every day. He checked the "Xinde Dictionary" in the Bookstore, and then forced the book he had read, wrote it down, and took it back to compare the next day. This method can not only make rapid progress, but also save money.

Of course, he can't buy nothing, otherwise the bookstore would not let him go every day? No matter how high his talent is, his patience is limited, so he will buy a book every few days, so he will buy a book back, and the books he buys can naturally be popular reading materials such as "The West Chamber" and "The Peach Blossom Fan".

He really can't read classical Chinese, and it costs more than 40 taels of silver to buy a book of Four Books and Five Classics, and a twenty-four histories costs more than 100 taels of silver. He only has enough money to buy a set of books! There is also a complete "Xinde Dictionary" that also requires more than 100 taels of silver. His current financial resources are really unthinkable.

"There are quite a lot of words to be looked up today, and it takes a lot of effort!" Lu Zheng couldn't help but mutter.

"If I didn't study hard back then, it would be the end now. If classical Chinese literature was good back then, would it be so embarrassing? Is it difficult to use dictionary?"

As a modern man, it was very difficult for Lu Zheng to learn ancient Chinese, and a single Xinde dictionary made him suffer a lot. A set of "Xinde Dictionary" has twelve thick books, which are marked according to the twelve earthly branches.

Moreover, the method of searching characters is completely different from the "Xinhua Dictionary". The character's pronunciation does not have a pinyin, but uses the method of cutting the pronunciation. All of these require Lu Zheng to comprehend themselves. Lu Zheng used the "Xinde Dictionary" for the first time. For most of the day, he only found two characters.

Ying'er walked quietly beside Lu Zheng, helping him hold an umbrella, and his face became more and more contempt.

"Oh my god, I can't even use the "Xinde Dictionary". How ignorant this should be!" Ying'er kept shaking her head in her heart.

Countless times, she couldn't help but want to say something, but she thought about her current situation, because she was too much, and she shut up again.

This guy Lu Zheng may not be able to study, but he is cunning and treacherous. What should he do if he falls into this guy's trap again?

"There must be tricks when using dictionaries! Unfortunately, it's really hard for me to explore myself without the guidance of the teacher!" Lu Zheng murmured again.

He suddenly looked at Ying'er and said, "Ying'er? Do you have any opinions?"

"Ah..." Ying'er exclaimed, her face turned red with a "swish", and she said, "I...I don't..."

Lu Zheng frowned slightly and said, "Actually, it is the best for girls to read. I think it's good if you read "The West Chamber". Read more books on weekdays and have a natural and elegant temperament. Do you think?"

"ah?"

Ying'er's face turned even red, and her heart jumped with a "thump!" and "thump!"

She felt embarrassed and embarrassed when she was caught by stealing something. She was really an idle person in Xijiaoyuan. Usually, Lu Zheng had three girls and two old wives to take care of her diet and daily life. She didn't need to do anything inside, inside, outside and outside.

She is also a person who likes to read. When she was with her ancestors, she played with Baoyi and the others every day, reading, guessing riddles, or writing poems, and her life was so comfortable and moist. After arriving at Xijiaoyuan, she felt like she was in prison.

At the beginning, she was worried that Lu Zheng would have bad intentions towards her, and thought that if she didn't help, she would go to the death. After a few days, her vigilance in this area gradually became weaker, and the rest was boredom.

That day, she just took advantage of Lu Zheng's bath and read "The West Chamber" secretly for a while. However, how could she do this when she read it? She stared at the book from afar every day, wishing she could turn into a little bookworm and get into the book.

With the first time, there will be the second time, and with the second time, there will be the third time. In the first few times, she could not make Lu Zheng notice, but where can she be perfect every time?

Now that Lu Zheng has told her about this, she is really embarrassed and ashamed, and she wants to find a hole to drill down.

In a panic, she suddenly thought of Lu Zheng’s question just now, and immediately changed the topic:

"San Ye, in fact, there is a song used in the "Xinde Dictionary": 'First and two sons are found, three strokes are asked about Chou and Yin, four are in Mao Chen and Si, five Wu and six Wei Shen, seven You and eight nine Xu, and the rest of the Hai sections are stored.' Remember this song and then index them according to the radicals, and you will get twice the result with half the effort, which is very easy to use!"

"Ah!" Lu Zheng was stunned for a moment, silently recited the song that Ying'er was reciting, remembered it firmly, and then praised it with a high-five: "Okay, Ying'er didn't realize that you are such a talented woman. Just this song solved the problem that troubled me for half a month!

If you are here like this talented woman in the future, I will be worry-free if I want to study again!"

Lu Zheng's words were quite sincere, but Ying'er had never heard of such words? Although she was talented, the things she learned were shallow after all. What's more, due to her identity, even if she had something extraordinary, she had to hide some of them. She could never compare Brother Hao and Miss Baoyi, right?

Therefore, she has never been praised as a talented woman. Besides, she just said a song about the "Xinde Dictionary" that even children understand, and she was called a "talented woman". She really couldn't stand it.

Just like Lu Zheng reads "Hundred Family Names" every day, Si Qi and other innocent girls flatter him every day, which sounds absurd and funny.

However, after Lu Zheng's next sentence, Ying'er was really happy. Lu Zheng said, "Ying'er, since you live in West Corner Courtyard, you can read it openly if you want to read it on weekdays. You can read "The West Chamber", "The Peach Blossom Fan", and "The Peony Pavilion"!

Don’t believe those corrupt scholars say that these books are what kind of books that teach delusion. Just read them more, and I won’t say them. Who can know if you don’t say them?"

Ying'er's disgust towards Lu Zheng was weakened a lot in an instant. She thought she had come to Xijiaoyuan and was afraid she would not live long. Now it seems that's not the case. Although Lu Jiazheng'er was ignorant, her character seemed to be not bad!

"Also, if you want to go out on weekdays, you can go out as much as possible. From now on, we will go out in the morning and in the afternoon. You can go to Guanjing Mountain in the morning without you having to accompany you. I will call Siqi when I go back!" Lu Zheng said again.

He was in a good mood. Ying'er had indeed studied and received an orthodox private school education in ancient times. He had a foundation in the reading and exegesis of the Four Books. Lu Zheng knew very well that he would get the opportunity to enter the school in the Zhang family, but he didn't know that he would have to wait until the year of the Monkey and Horse Month. Now he would seize every opportunity to study. With such a Ying'er who can help him, how could he not make his girl happy?

The relationship between the two eased, and they said this all the way to the entrance of a quaint building with a double-eaved hip-top. Looking at the building, it looked like a hall at first, but looking at the huge plaque at the door, with four words written on it: "Hengwu Bookstore", this is the prosperous place in Yangzhou.

On the New Town River opposite the bookstore, the gorgeous painting boats are extremely magnificent. Looking at these luxurious painting boats, you can probably imagine how prosperous this place should be at night.

Strictly speaking, this is the second largest red light district in Yangzhou, but in the morning, it seems quiet, with music and singing all night. At this time, the pretty beauties on the pleasure boat are still lying high in the quilt!

Lu Zheng stopped and walked to the river bank. He looked at the green river water of the new city and admired the luxury of the pleasure boat. Everything in front of him was so harmonious and quiet. In another thousand years, where would there be such a scene on both sides of the new city and river?

"Oh, are you stunned again? Are you thinking about drinking a basin of foot washing water from your sisters?" The window of a golden pleasure boat with red painted lacquer and carved beams was suddenly opened, and a head was poked out from inside.

Her face and cheeks are bright and bright, and her appearance is good. It is her fierce spirit that makes her less temperament. She is probably only 28 years old, and she is just yelling at Lu Zheng!

"Hi!" Lu Zheng waved at her.

"Tu! The little kid, she hasn't even grown all her hair, so she has learned from her slutty brother's character. She can only drink the foot washing water for you!" After that, the girl took her head back and splashed a basin of water out of the window.
