Chapter 57
The two of them were grinding under the eaves of the main house, and next to it was the room where many talents lived.

The orientation of the house of Qiducai is the best, facing south, so that the faint sunlight can shine into the house.

Qi Duocai usually sits in the house and immerses himself in reading a book, rarely going out.

However, Mrs. Wang likes to see Qi Duo like this.

After a while, I will go over to bring him tea and water, and ask him about his health.

Wang happily thought that it was only right and proper for a mother to serve the son of a scholar and save him time to study.

She wished she could help him dress and eat.

Scholars, if they win the election in the future, they will be the celebrities in front of the emperor. Sooner or later, they will only open their mouths with their clothes and hands.

Now raise the bearing of a big family early, and you won't lose at the starting line in the future.

The old stone mill grinds on the soybeans, making a humming sound.

The rhythm is heavy, and the ground soybean juice is slowly flowing out of the stone mill.

In the room, Qi Duo had just finished chasing a book of stories, and his heart was very empty.

The story book was bought in the city when he went to the market last time, and he bought five copies in total.

He watched and watched day and night, even at night he carried an oil lamp and wrapped himself in a quilt, sitting on the bed and watching in the middle of the night.

Every time Mrs. Wang came to deliver snacks to him, seeing him so absorbed in his studies, she was afraid that his eyes would be ruined, so she kept telling him not to work too hard, and there was still time to study during the day...

Finally, Qi Duo worked very hard to finish reading the book.

There are no good books to pass the time at the moment, thinking that I should study hard, so I went to pick up a copy of "Book of Changes" that I bought last year but hadn't opened yet.

As a result, after reading only two pages, I couldn't read it.

The same book is full of words, but the feeling of reading is different.

Reading the storybook is enjoyment and experience, and the gorgeous and obscene words in it are unforgettable and have endless aftertaste.

But as soon as he read the serious sage books, he seemed to be wearing a magic spell.

I have a headache and can't read a word.

In addition, the sound of grinding tofu outside was like mosquitoes, and Weng was so noisy that he was even less in the mood to watch it.

Just in time, Mrs. Wang poured him a cup of strong tea, "Son, come, drink this cup of Tieguanyin first. I heard that this tea is refreshing. Mother bought you some good tea on the street."

"I don't want to drink, take it away."

Qi Duocai scratched his head irritably, and threw the "Book of Changes" in his hand aside.

Wang's heart ached when she read it, and hurriedly went to help him put away the books, "Son, don't lose your temper when you read. If you don't want to read, just lie down and sleep, and read it later."

Qi Duo sighed, "Mom, I'm going to town to buy books tomorrow."

"What book do you want to buy again?" Wang asked with a pleasant smile, not at all unhappy.

Mrs. Wang remembered that the last time she went to the market, she went to a bookstore in the city to buy several books. Those books were exquisitely packaged, but expensive.

Those books cost her the price of four pheasants.

And the last time I went to the market, I also bought several copies...

The third child in her family reads too hard, and has to add books to the house from time to time.

For this reason, she specially ordered a bookshelf for Xi Duocai.

Now this bookshelf is full, and at a glance, it is no different from the bookstore that specializes in selling books.

It's a good thing that the third child likes to read, and he will definitely be expected to pass the exam in the future, but... this book is really expensive.

Qi Duo gave Wang a speechless look, "You don't understand even if you tell me."
