Chapter 517: Reading Good Books

Shi Liu looked at his younger brother standing in front of the desk. The boy was already twelve years old. He had grown taller in the wind. He no longer looked childish like he did three years ago. There was even a bit of bookish air in his brows.

This is the benefit of reading.

Seeing that the younger brother looked a little melancholy, a little confused, and a little ashamed of himself, Shi Liu sighed slightly.

He had never been to school or read before the age of nine, but to have reached this level in just three years shows how intelligent he is.

As for understanding the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly, including being able to memorize their interpretations with ease, it is indeed not easy. In this world, many people have studied from childhood to old age and still cannot understand them thoroughly.

Who hasn't read and written books countless times?
Zhang Ge'er got up early every morning, exercised and recited at the same time. After school, he finished all his homework and wrote silently for an hour by lamplight before going to bed at night. She saw it all, day after day.

She looked at him tenderly and said, "Don't worry, you are still young, you can wait another two years. You can't become a fat man in one bite, let alone study.

Studying is your own business. Don't compare yourself with others. Don't be complacent just because you can compare with others, and don't be discouraged just because you can't compare with others. We can learn from those who are good at studying, but we must not let others distract us. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Everyone has different talents and diligence, and their learning progress and abilities are also different. You should do what you can and don't rush. Do you understand?"

Li Rongzhang listened thoughtfully, and after a moment, he nodded heavily, "I understand, Second Sister!"

"It's a day off tomorrow, right? Go back to bed early and don't do dictation tonight. Get up early tomorrow and your second sister will teach you something good." Shi Liu stood up and patted Li Rongzhang on the head.

With this slap, she suddenly realized that her twelve-year-old brother was not much shorter than her without her noticing.

If she waits another two years, she will have to stand on tiptoe if she wants to touch his head.

Ah, if two years really pass, she won’t be able to touch my little brother’s head so easily anymore.

My little brother has grown up. Look, his face turned red when he looked at her and he ran out.

When he ran to the door, Li Rongzhang stopped, turned his head to look at Shi Liu, and said embarrassedly: "Second sister, I am twelve years old, an adult, you can't touch my head anymore."

Shi Liu burst out laughing, "Don't run, walk back slowly, be careful not to fall. Guangrun, hold the lantern for your young master."

Watching the shadow of the lantern fade away, Shi Liu turned around. He was not in a hurry to go to bed. He first told Sui Lu, "Ask Bai Cui to make me a bowl of almond milk and a plate of spiced quail."

It’s a long night, let’s have a midnight snack tonight.

Sui Lu went away in response, and came back in a moment, making a cup of rose tea for Shi Liu.

Shi Liu had already sat back at the desk, took out the set of Four Books with Annotations from the bookshelf, cut a large piece of paper, and took a charcoal pencil to write something quickly.

As time passed, hot almond milk and fragrant fried quail were served.

Smelling the fragrance, Shi Liu put down his pen, rubbed his wrist, looked at what was on the paper, and breathed a sigh of relief.

I haven’t made a mind map on paper for a long time. If I don’t practice, I’m afraid I won’t be able to speak fluently tomorrow.

Fortunately, it hasn't become unfamiliar yet.

The core of the so-called mind mapping memory method is to first clarify the logical structure and layout of the article, and then gradually enrich it on this basis.

With such a map, it will be much easier to remember the article.

I have memorized a lot of texts in my previous life, and I couldn’t help but use this mind map to remember them.

She plans to teach Zhang Ge'er this tomorrow.

After getting up to wash his hands, Shi Liu sat down at the table and enjoyed his midnight snack happily. It had been a long time since he had a midnight snack, and in a trance he actually found the feeling of staying up late in his previous life, except that it would have been better with some wine.

But it was hard to sleep after drinking so much in the middle of the night, and I had to get up early tomorrow, so a cup of hot milk was just right. There were only five or six quails on a plate, plus a bowl of almond milk, and Pomegranate was very satisfied with the food and drink.

After eating, I just lay on the couch and didn’t want to move. I didn’t care about whether the food was digestible or not, or whether I had indigestion or not.

Sui Lu found it funny to see his daughter lying on the couch, drowsy, so he quickly went to get some hot water, and helped her rinse her mouth, wash her hands, face, and feet, and then apply some facial cream.

Pomegranate was feeling lazy all over, and felt very comfortable being served like this. This kind of life was really depraved, and once you got used to it, you really couldn't let it go.

Hearing the girl's long breathing, Sui Lu could only go and get a thick quilt, carefully tuck in the corners and cover the girl tightly. Then he blew out the light and went to sleep in the small cupboard outside.

After a good sleep, Shi Liu got dressed and left the house, running around the garden for exercise.

It's foggy today, but looking at the sky, you can tell it's a good day.

After the exercise, he went back to his room, changed his clothes, washed up, and then took Bai Cui to the front.

Everyone was in the main hall, just starting to have breakfast when Shi Liu came in. Song quickly opened the porridge bowl and served Shi Liu a bowl of minced meat porridge.

Li Rongzhang, who also got up for some exercise, felt refreshed, while Li Rongyu on the other side was in high spirits. Baozhu sat on the dining chair and scooped up the egg custard in one hand while holding a steamed dumpling in the other. The plate, mouth and face were all covered with residue, just like a big cat.

Shi Liu couldn't help but smile knowingly when he saw this scene.

He sat down, picked up the spoon and scooped a mouthful of porridge to drink, then reached out to take the brown sugar buns on the plate, and said to Li Rongzhang: "Eat first and go to the old house and call Tan Ge'er to come with you."

Li Rongzhang quickly agreed.

Father Li at the head of the group was curious and asked, "Why did you ask Tan Ge'er to come here?"

Li Rongzhang said, "My second sister said she would teach me how to read well today!"

Father Li looked at Shi Liu and asked, "Why don't you call Brother Feng and Brother Hua together?"

It is normal for Grandpa Li to hope that each of his grandsons will be good and successful.

Shi Liu only said, "Feng and Hua are still unable to understand what I want to teach. I will let Zhang and Tan teach them first, and then let them teach them."

As Old Man Li listened, he thought about how Zhang and Tan got up early every day to recite their lessons, but he had never heard of Feng and Hua getting up early to recite their lessons, so he said no more.

Shi Liu is also very busy, and it is rare for her to spare the time, so she will definitely teach the smart one first.

He nodded, and asked Song to instruct the kitchen to prepare walnut and black chicken soup for Shi Pomegranate at noon so that he could have some nourishment.

Shi Liu laughed when he heard this, "Grandpa also knows that walnuts are good for the brain."

Father Li laughed and said, "You often ask the kitchen to make us this kind of medicinal food to replenish this and that kind of medicinal food to replenish that. I just don't understand it. I will understand it after seeing it more often!"

Everyone laughed.

Li Rongzhang also finished his meal. He wiped his mouth and strolled back to the old house.

After Shi Liu finished his breakfast, he asked Bai Cui to take people to decorate the pavilion on the second floor. Then the two brothers came in together, shoulder to shoulder, asking and answering questions.

"Come up." Pomegranate leaned on the railing and waved.

The two men looked up and saw Pomegranate, then went upstairs with footsteps.
