Chapter 27 Lu Mansion's Response
Thank you very much for the reward of the naughty little fairy classmate (100)!

Lu Tingfang knew the reason, and this business was that the two brothers combined, each accounting for 50% of the shares. In the Ming Dynasty, there was no way to go for the official position, so it was okay to do some small business. Once it grew bigger, it would be done for others and would be robbed by people with backgrounds. Therefore, Lu Tingjiang's business cannot be separated from his elder brother's support.
However, Lu Tingfang was a scholar after all, and this class was very mentally strange. They knew the importance of money. They hid behind it and allowed their relatives and friends to run their business. They collected money on time every month, but they also looked down on business people who were stinking and thought that doing everything was not a gentleman's way. So when he saw his second brother threatening Luo Xin by borrowing books, he felt very uncomfortable and his old face turned red.
Luo Xin could not figure out what Lu Tingjiang wanted his painting to do at this time, but he decided not to understand the truth of the matter and refused to paint for Lu Tingjiang anymore. So Luo Xin shook his head firmly again, and then bowed to Lu Tingfang sitting on the chair:
"Mr. Lu, today it's a student who is abrupt, so say goodbye."
After saying that, Luo Xin straightened his waist and turned around and walked out the door. This was his temptation. If the two masters of the Lu family did not call him, you would show that although they needed their own paintings, they were not that important. It doesn't matter if they lost the opportunity to borrow books this time, as he had too many books in his memory.
In fact, he does not lack books. What he lacks is the understanding of the essence of books by scholars of this era. No matter what era it is, it is very important to be with light. If Luo Xin takes the views of later generations to this era, he will be independent, not be regarded as a madman, and will be arrested or even beheaded. Therefore, even if he cannot borrow books from Lu Tingfang, he will be more cautious in his words and deeds in the future and slowly understand this era, but it will take a longer time.
If the two masters of the Lu family call him, it will prove that their paintings are very important to them. Perhaps with the help of their own paintings, they will not only solve the problem of borrowing books, but also solve the problems of life at home.
When one of his feet had already sold the threshold, Lu Tingjiang's voice came from behind: "Young man, let's wait."
Luo Xin, who was facing away from Lu Tingjiang, showed a smile on his face, then his smile subsided, turned around and looked at Lu Tingjiang calmly.
"Youngsheng, you can borrow a book. I will give you another ten taels of silver for a painting. How about it?"
"Cough!" Lu Tingfang finally couldn't help but find his second brother's mess, and looked at Luo Xin and said, "Youngsheng, come here."
"Yes!" Luo Xin responded respectfully and walked to the desk.
"Remember the Three Character Classic with me to listen to it!"
Luo Xin looked slightly stunned when he heard this. I wonder why he asked him to recite the letter again?
But he was just a little stunned and then started memorizing. Anyway, he didn't know how to memorize it, so who is afraid of whom?
Half an hour later, Lu Tingfang and Lu Tingjiang brothers stared at Luo Xin blankly. In this half hour, Luo Xin had already memorized the "Three Character Classic" and "Thousand Character Classic" according to Lu Tingfang's request.
"Is this still an eight-year-old child who has just entered school for half a month?"
Lu Tingfang looked up and down at Luo Xin standing in front of him. A young man like him, who is a scholar who loves Luo Xin the most, who is neither humble nor arrogant and extremely intelligent. After pondering for a while, a gentle smile appeared on his face and said:
"Have you started reading the Analects of Confucius?"
"Just the beginning!" Luo Xin looked respectful.
"Your disciple said: 'He is a filial piety and brother...'"
Speaking of this, Lu Tingfang stopped and looked at Luo Xin. Luo Xin immediately understood what he meant and said indirectly:
"There are few who like to offend the superiors; there are never any who do not like to offend the superiors and to cause chaos. A gentleman is committed to the foundation, and the foundation is established and the way is born. Those who are filial piety and brothers are the foundation of human beings?"
Lu Tingfang showed a satisfied look on his face and said, "Can you know its essence?"
Luo Xin said in a stern voice: "If people in the world can be filial to their parents and obedient to their brothers at home, then they can be loyal to the country outside. Loyalty is based on filial piety and brothers, and filial piety and brothers are based on loyalty."
Lu Tingfang's eyes lit up, and then they turned back to a dull look. He asked Luo Xin's home address and family status in detail, and then said to Luo Xin:
"Luo Xin, I can lend you the book, but I can only borrow one at a time and not damage it."
Luo Xin was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Mr. Lu."
"Go!"
Lu Tingfang raised his hand and pointed to the bookcase, signaling Luo Xin to choose. He no longer mentioned painting, and Lu Tingjiang was also sitting aside at this time, as if he had forgotten his purpose.
Since people didn't mention it, Luo Xin naturally wouldn't take the initiative to mention it. So he came to the bookcase honestly and glanced at the thread-bound books.
"The Great Learning", "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Analects of Confucius", "Mencius", "The Book of Songs", "The Book of Books", "The Book of Rites", "The Book of Changes", "The Book of Changes", "The Book of Changes", "The Book of Changes", "The Book of Filial Piety", "Primary School", "The Zhou Li", "The Literature of the Warring States", "The Literature of the Surname", "The Selected Works", "The Eight Schools of the Essays", "Authentic Articles", "Records of the Grand Historian"...
Luo Xin's eyes glowed, these are ancient books! And there are too many books!
There were two masters in the study room, so Luo Xin naturally could not read them casually. Thinking that he was studying "The Analects of Confucius", he took a volume of "The Analects of Confucius" from the bookcase.
When I opened it, I found that there were indeed sheets of paper inside, which recorded some understandings and insights. What Luo Xin needed was these understandings and insights of the essence of the book, because this represented the thoughts of the literati group of this era.
Holding the Analects of Confucius in both hands, he turned around and said respectfully to Lu Tingfang: "Mr. Lu, students will choose this Analects of Confucius first. After half a month, students will definitely come to return it after taking a vacation."
"Can you finish watching?"
"Students copy it first."
"Yeah!" Lu Tingfang nodded with relief and said, "Go!"
"Yes, Mr. Lu, the second master, the student said goodbye."
Luo Xin and Luo Qing withdrew from the study room. This time, Butler Lu did not send them out, but a servant sent them outside the door. At this time, in the study room, Lu Tingjiang changed his appearance as an old god, and said anxiously:
"Brother, why did you let that kid go? That's money..."
"Money, you know the money!" Lu Tingfang's face turned gloomy.
"I... this is not for everyone..." Lu Tingjiang felt a little aggrieved.
Lu Tingfang waved his hand and turned his eyes to Butler Lu and said, "Lu Zhong, you have seen Luo Xin's performance just now, right?"
"Yes, Master!"
"What do you think?"
Lu Zhong frowned and thought for a while, saying, "If it is really as Luo Xin said, he has never read a book before entering school, and has only been studying for half a month, then he is simply a prodigy who has not been released for a hundred years, but... how is this possible?"
