Zhou Zuorang originally wanted to keep Sanya at home for a few years until she and her sister Erya had learned both books before sending her to school, so that she could go home after studying for two years.

But Sanya knew early in the morning that Si Tou was also going to school. She and Wu Tou Liu Tou were the only ones left at home. Then she turned to look at her two cousins. One could only hold an adult's leg to stand steady, and the other

Just when I sat down firmly, when I looked up at someone, I couldn't help but open my mouth, and then my saliva started to flow...

Sanya disliked it so much that she hugged her father's arm and twisted it for a while, arguing that she had to go to school.

Zhou Erlang had a headache from being pestered, and because Er Tou was mischievous on the side, he agreed.

He always felt that Er Du was not very smart, and all his intelligence fell on Er Ya and San Ya, so when he turned to look at Yao Mei, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

Man Bao had copied a Thousand-Character Classic and an Analects of Confucius for them before, but now they were still missing six copies of each, which was not a lot at all.

Because they have studied both books, when Mr. Zhuang wants to teach, they don’t know how to teach. What if they use both books?

So both books still had to be copied.

After Man Bao finished grinding the ink, he first looked up at the sky sadly, and found that what he saw was the roof instead of the blue sky, so he turned his head outside and took a look. Only when he saw the blue sky sadly did he lower his head to write.

Bai Shanbao and Bai Erlang have practiced calligraphy a lot, but this is the first time they have to copy a book so neatly. Although Manbao no longer requires neatness, they still make some typos as they write.

After copying for less than half an hour, Bai Erlang dropped his pen in annoyance and said: "I won't copy anymore. I won't make any money. You can play with yourselves."

After that, he ran away.

Bai Shanbao didn't want to play anymore. He frowned and was about to put down his pen. When he met Manbao's shining eyes, he paused, then put aside the piece of paper with the wrong writing on it, and sighed: "

I don’t think this is fun anymore, let’s play something else.”

"No, if you don't want to play, forget it, I'll copy it myself."

Bai Shanbao felt that she was a little wronged and couldn't put down the pen anymore, so he could only mumble a few words and resigned himself to accompany her to copy books in the study.

The two of them rested for a while and played for a while, but once they returned to the study, they continued copying books.

The entire study became quiet, as if they were the only two people in the whole yard.

Daji was sitting in a corner of the study, warming up a brazier, and occasionally raised his head to look at them.

Bai Shanbao felt that he had never written so many words in one day, so when he had dinner, his hands felt stiff.

Mrs. Liu couldn't help but look at him several times, and Bai Shanbao said aggrievedly: "Grandma, tomorrow you ask Daji to tell Manbao that I'm not at home and I went out to pay New Year's greetings, okay?"

"The only relatives in our family are your cousin's family. Where can we go to pay New Year's greetings? What's wrong with you?"

Bai Shanbao then told Manbao about hiring them to copy books, saying: "Copying books is not fun at all, and it's not just one copy, the contents are all coming and going. I can almost recite them by heart."

"Since you can memorize it backwards and forwards, why do you still need to copy according to the book? And why are there typos? Obviously you haven't memorized it backwards and forwards yet." Liu said: "It is the most basic thing to copy books without typos, although Manbao does not require your handwriting.

Neat and tidy on paper, but you should also pay attention to it.”

"Originally, I thought that I would try to copy books when you are older, because it will be very useful for you in the imperial examination in the future," Liu said: "You and your father have the same temperament, both are a little irritable, but during the imperial examination

, the examiner attaches great importance to the neatness of the paper. If you have good handwriting, you will be better than others. If you have neat handwriting, you will be better than others. But if you make typos, you will not only lose to others."

Mrs. Zheng nodded repeatedly and whispered: "Your father said that he used to copy books for two or three years for the imperial examination."

"Exactly, I originally wanted to wait until you are older to see the situation. Now that you have taken over Manbao's business, you have agreed to it. Now that you have agreed to it, how can you not keep your promise?"

Bai Shanbao's eyes widened and he said, "Does everyone taking the imperial examination have to copy books?"

Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "I don't know what other people are like, but your father wants to copy it because he has a restless temper, writes impatiently and impatiently, his handwriting is not good, and he always makes typos."

Mrs. Liu looked at her grandson and smiled slightly.

What she didn't say was that Bai Shanbao was actually more naughty than his father, but strangely, he was not as impatient as his father, and his handwriting was actually pretty good.

However, it’s still not calm enough, right?

This temperament needs to be tempered again. See how naughty Manbao used to be, but now that he is older, he is not as naughty as before.

Mrs. Liu smiled slightly and insisted that her grandson keep his promise and help Man Bao finish copying the book.

When Bai Shanbao saw that his grandmother was not on his side, he could only sigh and accept his fate.

Bai Shanbao copied for three days and found that there were fewer and fewer typos and the handwriting became more fair.

Originally, he had studied these two books for several years, but he could still memorize them, so they were somewhat unfamiliar to him. But now that he copied them, he slowly remembered them all again.

By the time he copied it for the second and third time, he no longer looked at the textbook and just calmed down while reciting silently while writing. The speed was actually much faster.

Mrs. Liu looked at it and nodded, quietly left from the study window, and then led her daughter-in-law to the next door where she met old Mrs. Bai to chat.

As a result, when she went out, she saw Bai Erlang leading a group of children to run past her and rush towards a mountain not far away.

Bai Erlang's boy ran after him, and Mrs. Liu listened carefully before she heard clearly that someone had caught a bamboo rat on the mountain, and they were going up the mountain to catch the bamboo rat.

Mrs. Liu shook her head and smiled. When she went to Bai's house, she stopped by Mr. Bai and told Shanbao and Manbao that they were copying books.

She smiled and said, "Zi Qi had to copy books for the bookstore for two years when he wanted to take the scientific examination to keep the paper neat and tidy with no typos. I didn't expect that Shanbao was better than his father. I guess it was because the books they copied were simple.

, and they are all learned. It is not difficult for me to read "The Thousand-Character Classic" and "The Analects of Confucius". I heard from Shanbao that Erlang also agreed to copy them together. Why haven't I seen him come to the door today? "

When Mr. Bai heard this, he immediately asked his servants to find Bai Erlang.

When Bai Erlang was captured from the mountain, he was as angry as a hedgehog. If he could breathe fire, he might be able to spit out a stream of flames from his mouth.

But when he saw his father, Bai Erlang wilted.

Master Bai asked him, "I heard that Shanbao and Manbao were copying books, and you agreed to copy them together. Why didn't you go today?"

Bai Erlang muttered: "Copying books is not fun."

"Bullshit, copying books...can it be fun? Even if it's not fun, you have to copy it!" Mr. Bai felt that his youngest son was too much like him in this regard. In order to prevent him from making the same mistakes, Mr. Bai decided to go there himself.
