The cannon fodder original wife's bad story

Chapter 247

Lianhua and Qingfang poured two cups of tea with the teapot they brought. Song Guanzhou took a sip and was a little unhappy, "The water is not hot anymore, it's a bit bitter." Song Youan tasted a little and pointed to the teahouse outside the window, "Little girl, why don't you take the teapot and ask for some hot water? Buy some new Qiu Lingzhi tea from his shop and bring it to your sister to try."

After saying this, he threw two taels of silver to Qingfang.

Qingfang looked at Song Guanzhou, who waved his hand and said, "Just listen to Song Youan. If he says so, he must be familiar with the matter." The little girl filled the teapot and went downstairs carrying the lunch box.

Song Guanzhou looked at Song Youan, who was dressed simply but still had a seductive air, and he was not on guard.

She waved a cocoon fan to drive away the heat.

"Song Youan, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Song Youan put away his fan and asked seriously, "Reading can help you understand things, but if you are in prison, you can get by in a daze. But if you know some causes and consequences, shallow principles will often bother you. You can't move forward or retreat. If you feel depressed and troubled, wouldn't it be counterproductive and exhaust your life?"

Because of these words, Song Guanzhou put down his cocoon fan and frowned slightly.

After a long time, he said, "What you said is not without reason. I said it crudely, so please don't take it to heart."

Song Youan naturally shook her head and sincerely sought to know, "Sister, just tell me."

"It's like a pig in a pigsty, fed and well-fed until the New Year, then chopped off, and that's fine. If you knew from the day you were born that you would always be chopped off, you would be afraid that you would not be able to eat, and would be trembling with fear, and in the end you would not be able to avoid death. In this way, it is better to be ignorant of the truth, and that would be more comfortable."

Seeing her say this, Song Youan couldn't help but ask, "Then sister will still support studying?"

For a useless person, studying the principles in books is just a waste of time.

Song Guanzhou narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, "People are different. Some people, even when they hit rock bottom, don't want to live a life of idleness and wait for death, ending up in chaos."

in this way?!

"So sister still supports reading more books?"

That's natural!

Song Guanzhou did not receive a good higher education, and the Chinese people's deep-seated idea of ​​letting their children read more, whether they have nothing to do or not, rich or poor, would definitely not change. Besides, dying in a clear mind is much better than living in a muddle.

Isn't she just waiting for the beheading when she turns twenty?

"I don't know about others, but for me, I must live my life clearly. How to live clearly? I think it must be reading."

"Well, sister, is there a distinction between high and low levels of education?"

"……what for?"

Song Guanzhou was stunned for a moment. What was the difference between high and low in terms of studying? Her surprised expression did not seem to be a pretense. Song Youan smiled knowingly, "Youan means that the emperor and the common people are divided into different levels——"

"no!"

Without waiting for Song Youan to finish, Song Guanzhou blurted out, "What's there to divide? Those who can read and love to read, just read. Those who don't like or don't want to read, just force yourself in front of the book to fall asleep. Reading is for yourself, why should you care about others?!" There's nothing high or low about this stuff!

She suddenly realized that it was probably Song Youan who asked on her behalf.

But since he hadn't pointed it out, she didn't take it seriously and just answered seriously, "It's a blessing to be able to study all the time."

The second shopkeeper who knocked on the door and came in couldn't help but sigh, "Young Madam has such a broad vision, I admire her deeply." He runs a study and has seen all kinds of scholars. There are also many celebrities and patriots who have talked about the great truth of the use of reading. Today, after hearing what Pipa Lang said to her, he realized the truth.

Who is Pipa Lang?

Others may not know, but he knows it best.

If you say that being a parasite in front of men and fawning on them is despicable, then when you think about it carefully, it's probably even worse!

Dalong has always despised the gay culture. Even though Pipalang and the noble lady were having an affair in secret and few people knew about it, there are always walls that are completely airtight. In addition, Pipalang had a bad reputation on weekdays. He was acting like a bully in the capital, and everyone would spit at him behind his back if they let him do what he wanted.

Such people spend their whole lives in the quagmire. As the saying goes, all things are inferior except reading. This also applies to children from good families. People like Song Youan, who have not been classified as a lowly person, read a few books, but they are just learning some obscene words and sentences to please their benefactors.

People can't bear to see it, and won't look at it too much.

Who would have thought that this young lady with a bad reputation would say such words to a low-class prostitute.

Impressive!

Song Guanzhou saw him bringing his servant into the house. The servant was holding a round tray in both hands, on which were placed several ink sticks wrapped in buttery parchment paper. There were ink sticks and ink blocks in different sizes, and I guess the prices were also different.

After the tray was put down, the second shopkeeper explained in person. Song Guanzhou didn't like sitting while others stood, so he waved his hand to let the second shopkeeper pause and called Lianhua over. Lianhua had served Song Guanzhou for a long time and knew her temper, so she brought a drum stool and said, "Shopkeeper, please sit down and talk."

"How dare I! How dare I! I am standing right here..."

"Shopkeeper, you don't have to be polite. I don't know anything about the four treasures of the study. Song Youan, you are not used to coming to the study. Why don't you choose for me with the second shopkeeper?"

The second shopkeeper knew Song Youan's mood without even raising his eyes.

He didn't hesitate and came forward to look at the inkstones. "I wonder what kind of ink my sister and brother usually use—"

Song Guanzhou shook his head.

"I really don't know about this. I'm afraid the second shopkeeper has to spend a lot of ink every day. Why don't you talk to me about it?"

The second shopkeeper naturally did not dare to refuse, and pointed at each one and explained, "Madam, Master Song, this is musk ink, which is improved from the original imperial tribute musk ink. It is very suitable for small regular script writing or fine brushwork."

He picked up another long and thin ink stick and said, "This is Xiangyun Tung Blossom Ink. It is made by burning tung oil to obtain smoke, and then mixing it with medicine and hide glue. The hide glue produced in Xiangyun is the most viscous. The ink is hard and thin, and the color is also very good. It is black with a hint of light. It can be used for painting and calligraphy."

After introducing this, Song Youan asked, "This Paulownia ink is cheap, why did you bring it here?"

Seeing this, the second shopkeeper quickly explained, "Mr. Song, you don't know that although the smoke ink made from tung oil has long been cheap in the market, this ink is expensive because it comes from Xiangyun, and it is completely different from the common tung oil ink."

After saying this, he called his servant boy over, got some ink, poured water into the stone grinding mill, ground it three or five times, and then handed a goat-hair brush to Song Youan.

With paper spread out on the high table next to him, Song Youan did not hesitate. He dipped the brush in ink and wrote, "What's going on in the mountains? Sending flowers to make wine, and using spring water to make tea." Although it was written in official script, the semi-illiterate Song Guanzhou could also understand it.

However, Song Youan's writing style is cool and clean, with some touches of the style of the Slender Gold style.

Song Guanzhou had no knowledge of calligraphy, but she knew it was very well written. She praised, "As the name suggests, it is refreshing and clean. However, the bend should be more decisive. Although it is cautious, it loses its momentum."

Song Youan picked up the pen and concentrated, looking at Song Guanzhou intently.

After a long time, he smiled heartily, "Sister, you are absolutely right!"
