Chapter 59: Twenty-Four Bridges on a Moonlit Night (Part 2)

The library is located next to the study, but the two rooms are independent of each other and are not connected to each other.

With a little excitement, Chen Heng followed Daiyu and pushed open the study door together.

Then, he was truly shocked.

What appeared in front of me were rows of neatly lined bookshelves. Chen Heng's eyesight was very good, and he could decipher the titles of the books in the first row at a glance.

With just this glance, he saw names such as "The Legend of Gongyang" and "The Book of Da Dai Li". There were too many people queuing up in the academy for the former, and Chen Heng didn't get his turn even after waiting several times. The latter only Hear its name but don't see its thing.

Seeing the treasure in front of him, Chen Heng still restrained himself and stepped forward to the bookshelf. He first followed the distribution of the bookshelves, walked around a few times, and read through all the approximate titles.

"I can't believe that your family actually has "Shui Jing Zhu"?" Chen Hengxin paused, walked a few more steps, and suddenly pointed at something and said, "This... is this "Salt and Iron Theory"?"

Even Chen Heng had heard of the famous name of this book in his previous life. Some people once joked that it was the wings of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which propelled Generals Wei and Huo to gallop across the grassland and achieve unparalleled achievements.

It's a pity that Chen Heng only put it in his favorites because the book was obscure and difficult to understand.

Daiyu covered her lips with the handkerchief and explained with a chuckle, "Dad brought this from his hometown in Gusu. I heard that my grandpa was here..." Daiyu tilted her head and thought about the place name several times, probably because she didn't remember it. Just say, "I bought it from the south."

Chen Heng nodded, continued to read with great joy, and secretly marveled at the books that appeared in front of him, "Did Uncle Lin even read "Qi Min Ya Shu"?"

As soon as he said this, Chen Heng raised his hand and slapped his forehead, secretly thinking that he was too excited.

"Encourage teaching to teach farmers to make mulberry trees, encourage teachers to teach farmers to make mulberry trees. If you haven't even read this book, how can you have the nerve to say that you should teach teachers to teach farmers to make mulberry trees?"

Seeing her brother acting mischievously, Lin Daiyu suppressed the smile on her lips and walked slowly to the light. This beam of light shone in from the wooden window. Daiyu was not tall, and her whole body was bathed in the light, which actually made her already fair skin appear more transparent.

"Brother, are you so happy?"

Lin Daiyu blinked and played with the light pink handkerchief with both hands.

"Um."

Chen Heng didn't bother to turn around, he was still hesitating which book he should read first. But when I think about it, I can only take a few brief glances today, and my heart is filled with regret.

Why is the Lin family's collection of books so large and diverse? Chen Heng really wished he could move a bed and live here without going anywhere.

In fact, Chen Heng has not turned around in his mind. In addition to the property and property left by the four generations of the Lin family, the collection of books collected by these generations is the real hard work of the Lin family.

As long as this collection of books exists, even if the Lin family is temporarily in decline in the future, as long as a worthy descendant emerges, they can shine at any time and regain their former glory.

Chen Heng spent a long time choosing, and finally chose "On Salt and Iron".

He hurried to the table and chair with the books in his arms, sat down and turned over the books by himself.

Lin Daiyu was also interesting. She didn't say anything when she saw this. She just called her maid and whispered a few instructions. Then he also took a book and sat next to his brother.

Soon, the maid came back with a pot of freshly brewed tea. Daiyu signaled the other party to put it down. She stood up and made two cups. After it cooled down slightly, she said to Chen Heng, "Brother, have a cup of tea first, and then you can take your time and watch."

"Um."

Chen Heng responded softly, glanced at the position of the tea cup, picked it up and brought it to his mouth. As a result, the tea still had some residual warmth, which made him shudder.

Little sister Lin didn't know that she would meet a second senior brother eating ginseng fruit, so she couldn't help but said angrily: "Brother, why don't you blow on it first? Let me see if it's hot."

Chen Heng took a few breaths of cold air, finally relieved his mood, and then waved to Daiyu, "It's okay, it's okay, it's not that hot. I was not prepared myself and drank too quickly."

He raised his hand to check "On Salt and Iron" again, and said with relief: "Fortunately, the book is fine."

Lin Daiyu shook her head helplessly, suddenly feeling that her brother was still a bit stupid. She took Chen Heng's cup again and put in another cup.

This time, she had to let the tea cool for a while before telling her brother.

Every move of the two juniors was naturally sent to the front hall to report to the mistress. After hearing this, Mrs. Jia pulled Mrs. Liu and said with a smile: "Sister, guess what they are doing now."

Liu pursed her lips, thinking about her understanding of Heng'er, and she quickly said confidently: "I couldn't guess Yu'er at first glance. Heng'er must be reading a book."

Jia Shi smiled and nodded, not surprised that the other party got the answer right.

"It's a good thing for Yu'er to have such a diligent and studious brother." It was Lin Ruhai who spoke, with a bit of pride on his face. "If these two people can supervise each other's studies in the future, it will be a good thing for her." Save me the trouble."

Wang Xianming was smiling at the side, but something suddenly occurred to him. He coughed lightly and said to Lin Ruhai, "Ruhai, my brother-in-law has something to ask you for help."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Lin Ruhai had already guessed what he was thinking and said, "What my brother-in-law wants to say is to let Heng'er come to my house to borrow books."

"How do you know?" Wang Xianming was a little dumbfounded. Could Lin Ruhai still predict things?

"When discussing a topic, every word and every sentence is a matter of painstaking effort. How can I say something meaningful without reading tens of thousands of books?"

Lin Ruhai has a good appearance and temperament. He is nearly 40 years old, which is really the best age for a man. At this moment, when he talks about studying, the confidence in his words makes his temperament climb to a higher level, like a jade tree in the hall.

"It's a good thing to help children study. Brother-in-law, don't worry, tell Heng'er, as long as he doesn't delay his studies in the academy. The Lin family's library is waiting for him to come at any time."

Seeing the head of the family make the decision, Jia also echoed, "When Jue'er is in better health, let him study with his brother and learn this hard work together."

Jue'er is still sick, Liu's eyebrows jumped slightly, but she said, "That's just right, Heng'er often pulls his brother to study at home."

Liu took out Chen Heng's little things and told them to her younger brothers and sisters. After everyone laughed and made noises, the atmosphere began to warm up again.

In a blink of an eye, it was Shen time.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Jia hurriedly called people to arrange the banquet. Because they were going out to see the Yangzhou Lantern Festival in the evening, their family had to eat early to fill their stomachs, but they would not eat too much. When the Lantern Festival was over, there was a banquet waiting for them at home.

Chen Heng and Daiyu were called out from the library, and Jia held Lin Jue, who had just woken up. There were seven people at the table, and the host and the guests were all happy.

After half a day of getting along, Daiyu was bolder in front of Chen Heng, pointing at her brother and talking about his embarrassing stories.

Chen Heng's eyes wandered between Jia and Lin Jue, thinking about the help Lin's father had given him and his friendship with Daiyu, and he felt a little worried.

But some words, if you say them yourself, you don't have the status, position and persuasiveness. After a struggle, you feel a little bored when eating.

Sister Lin thought that her brother was thinking about the book he hadn't finished reading, so she just kept it in mind and prepared to find an opportunity to tell her father after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

After dinner, everyone was ready to go out.

There were seven people in a group, sitting in three carriages. Lin Ruhai and Jia were holding their son in one car, the teacher and his wife were in another car, and Chen Heng and Daiyu were accompanied by the nanny in another car.

"Brother, are you still thinking about the book?"

Because she was worried that it would be cold at night, Jia specially added a cloak for Daiyu. At this moment, Daiyu, who was like a fairy under the moon, was looking at him with bright eyes.

Chen Heng could feel the other party's concern, so he put his worries aside and continued the topic: "The sentence in the book, 'The wise change with the times, and the knowledgeable make decisions according to the circumstances.' It's so good that I can't help but ask Chen Heng about the content of the book."

Daiyu hadn't read the book yet, so she couldn't help but pull Chen Heng to ask about the content of the book. The two of them became happier and happier, and they were still discussing this when they got off the car.

Jia and Liu smiled at each other, each holding a carrot head, and led them to the boat.

This was where Chen Heng got off the boat and landed in the morning.

After the guests were seated, the boatman raised the wooden pole and shouted, "Let's go."

The boat was like flying stars in the night, and the river was like the stars in the sky. Paddle after pole, passing through arch bridges. When passing the third arch bridge, there was a sudden noise of voices and bright lights in the distance.

When they got closer, the little girl Daiyu stood up excitedly, pointed to the corner and said, "Brother, look."

The boat was shaking and swaying, and Chen Heng was worried that she could not stand steadily, so he hurried forward to support her and said, "Sit down and look, it's the same."

"That's the same as the old man." Daiyu said angrily. She shook her little head, and her hair was wearing a jade hairpin and a step-shaking hairpin. When she moved, the sound of jingling was very interesting.

Chen Heng had no choice but to let go of her hand and stand aside with her, just in case. Unexpectedly, Xiao Daiyu reached out and grabbed his collar, excitedly saying: "Brother, look, it's a lantern."

Chen Heng looked over and saw a long street with a stream of people. A long dragon of lanterns illuminated the shops along the river. The lights shone on the river, and the lights were mixed with starlight, illuminating the green water, as clear as a mirror.

On the streets and alleys on the river bank, there were stalls if there were houses, factories if there were no houses, and sheds outside the factories, and stalls outside the sheds, one by one. It attracted tourists and made boat passengers linger.

After crossing the fifth arch bridge, there were many men, women, old and young holding lotus lanterns, standing on both sides of the river. As soon as one of them gave an order, everyone put the lotus lanterns on the water.

The people of Yangzhou have three loves: bamboo, fragrance, and lotus. The season of July and August is the season for admiring lotus in the city, and the whole city is filled with the fragrance of blooming lotus. Who would have thought that even with this, the people of Yangzhou were still not satisfied and wanted to use lotus lanterns to illuminate the river like a jade belt in the heavenly palace.

The ripples of the boat pushed hundreds of lotus lanterns away, and then pulled them downstream.

On the arch bridge, people crowded around and pointed at the lanterns in the river. When the boat went away, a man could be heard asking the person next to him, "How is it, is it beautiful?"

Chen Heng, who was far away, could no longer hear what his companion would answer, but Daiyu, who was standing beside him, leaned over, and her eyes illuminated by the lights showed the other person's innate agility.

"Brother, is it beautiful?"

Chen Heng laughed, "The beautiful scenery is not worth praising."

Daiyu smiled and stood up, hooking her hair that was blown by the wind with her hands, and the colorful lights shone on her side.

She pointed to the distance, "Further away, it is Baobao Lake."

Chen Heng nodded, he knew.

A more grand celebration is still waiting for them.

The editor told me that it can be put on the shelves on the first day, hahahahaha, I thought about it and pushed it. I will let you read it for free for another week, I just hope you don’t support the book and forget about me, a lonely and helpless seedling.

But you are really fierce, yesterday there were only more than 200 monthly tickets, and you directly raised it to more than 400, which scared me. . . . .

I have a record of everyone who gave me a tip, and I will thank them when the book is released. (I am worried that Qidian will count our words)

I bow to all the book friends, thank you so much for liking this book!
