Bai Shanbao took Manbao to his study.
This is the big study, which basically only displays books. He has his own small study, which is just outside the bedroom.
Before he grew up, this study was basically used only for storing books.
But once his family builds the house, they will definitely move out.
The study is in a particularly good location, facing the sun and is spacious. When you push the door open, you see rows of bookshelves.
There are much more than Mr. Zhuang’s two rows of bookshelves.
Manbao was amazed. It was the first time she saw so many books. She ran up and could only tilt her head back to look at the bookshelf.
It’s too high, and she can’t reach many of the bookshelves.
Bai Shanbao was only half a head taller than her, and they had a lot in common in this regard. He whispered to her, "My grandmother said there was gold in my family's books. I searched for a long time yesterday and couldn't find it. I almost forgot to do my homework."
Manbao's eyes sparkled as he asked, "Is there a lot of gold?"
Bai Shanbao thought for a moment and said, "My grandmother has a whole house, so there should be a lot."
The system that was trying to scan the book where the gold was hidden:...
Seeing the two children already rummaging around with great interest, the system couldn't help but ask, "Host, ask him if his grandmother said that there is a golden house in the book?"
Manbao asked Shanbao.
Shan Bao nodded vigorously, "That's right, there is a whole golden house in my book collection."
He had his own little tricks. He didn't tell his mother and grandmother about what happened yesterday, but he was willing to share it with Manbao. He whispered, "When I find the gold, I will hide it. From now on, this will be my money."
Manbao thought his idea was good and asked him, "Then I'll help you find it. Can you give me some?"
Bai Shanbao said it was no problem, the child had never lacked money since childhood and was very generous.
Seeing that the two children had forgotten about it again while talking, and Manbao was about to roll up his sleeves and work hard, the system interrupted and said, "Host, the golden house in the book means that studying and passing the imperial examination is an excellent way out . After passing the imperial examination, you will have wealth, honor and beautiful women."
Manbao was stunned, and then he told Bai Shanbao what he said, and added at the end, "I think this sentence is weird, it's different from what the teacher said, I don't like it."
Bai Shanbao is concerned about, "So there is no gold in my books?"
Manbao said: "Go ask your grandmother."
Bai Shanbao took Manbao with him.
Datou was left in the living room by Liu to eat snacks and chat, so Bai Shanbao quickly found his grandmother and asked her, only to find out that what Manbao said was true.
Mrs. Liu didn't expect her grandson to come to his senses so quickly. She couldn't help but take another look at the little girl standing next to him. What a smart child.
She said to Bai Shanbao, "This sentence was said by an ancestor. It means that there is a lot of knowledge in books. If you master the knowledge, whether you want wealth, good farmland, a large house, or beautiful women in the future, they will come to you automatically. You said you want to make money, but you are only five or six years old now. You can't lift anything with your hands or shoulders. You are not good at reading or arithmetic. You are so young, how can you make money?"
"It is better to settle down and study hard, learn knowledge, and when you grow up, wealth will come naturally."
Bai Shanbao was very sad, thinking that the gold he had obtained had just flown away. He refused to listen to what his grandmother said and just turned around and ran away.
Manbao hurried to follow.
Zheng was worried and was about to chase him, but Liu stopped her and said, "Let him go. He will figure it out if he thinks about it more."
She was really afraid of what her daughter-in-law would say next. This family is all about you.
Bai Shanbao ran back to the study, squatted on the ground, and cried sadly. Manbao was very happy, thinking that what Grandmother Liu said was much better than what Keke said. She said to Keke: "The meaning of this sentence should be like what Grandmother Liu said."
The data in the system circulated quickly. "Host, this sentence should have been said by Zhao Heng in history. Regardless of whether this is right or wrong, based on the host's current productivity, this sentence should not appear."
The system played the entire poem in which this sentence appeared and showed it to Manbao.
Manbao read it once and was disgusted, "Does this count as poetry?"
Although she had not read poetry for a long time, she knew the most basic rhythm and could feel whether a poem was good or not. She felt that this poem was not good.
The system said: "It is not good. Some people commented that it is not even as good as doggerel. However, the person who wrote the poem was an emperor, so it has been passed down."
The system scanned the data of the books in the study again and said to Man Bao: "At this time, the emperor has not appeared yet."
Manbao didn't care about that. She just squatted down to comfort Shanbao, "Don't be sad. The person who said this is not very capable, so what he said may not be right. Let's not think about studying to make money, but start earning money from now on."
Bai Shanbao raised his head and looked at her with red eyes, "How do you earn it?"
"Pick up the Centella asiatica. Come with me and pick them. After drying them, let my fourth brother take them to the pharmacy to sell. That way you will have money."
Bai Shanbao felt that she was right. He couldn't just listen to his grandmother. He wiped his tears and said, "I won't study anymore. This way I can have more time to pull Centella asiatica."
Manbao looked at him in surprise, "Why don't you study?"
She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you in great need of money? If so, I can lend you some, but you have to pay me back when you earn money."
Bai Shanbao was stunned, scratched his head and said, "I don't seem to be short of money."
"If you don't need money, why don't you study?"
"You didn't say that. My grandmother might not be right. Can't you make money by studying?"
Manbao said: "Even if studying can't make money, studying can still make you happy and wise. Are you studying just to make money?"
Bai Shanbao really didn't know why he was studying. He thought for a while and said, "My mother said that I was studying to bring honor to my family, and my grandmother said that I was studying to inherit my father's ambition."
Manbao looked at him, Shanbao looked at her, and the two children sat on the floor leaning against the bookshelf and looked at each other.
Manbao could only tell him why she was studying.
"I feel happy reading. I can know a lot of things that others don't know, and I can also read a lot of interesting stories from books," Manbao said, "The teacher said that reading can make us understand reason. I want to be a person who understands reason, so I read."
Manbao told Bai Shanbao, "You have to think about why you study. My parents secretly told me that if I studied, they would marry me to a village and live a good life. But I didn't want to marry to a village, and I didn't tell them."
Manbao said, "We should listen to adults, but not everything they say. My friend said that what adults say may not be all right, so you have to have your own ideas."
You have to have your own ideas!
This was the first time Bai Shanbao had heard these words. Since he was a child, his grandmother, mother, and teacher had all told him why he should study and what he should do. No one had ever allowed him to have his own ideas.
He wanted to climb a tree, but they didn't allow him. He wanted to play in the water, but they didn't allow him. He wanted to sleep in, but they didn't allow him either. Since he was a child, they didn't allow him to have any ideas.
As for what parents and friends of the same age say, of course you should listen to them!
Bai Shanbao's eyes sparkled and he began to think with his little head.
