Six-Year-Old Child, Baojiao, is Busy with Kingdom-Building

He leaned over, closed his eyes and glanced at it, then yelped in fright, took two steps back and stammered, "Brother, there is something moving here, could it be a monster?"

Qiu Sheng went up to have a look, and the patterns inside were constantly changing. He explained with a smile: "This thing is called a kaleidoscope, and there are patterns inside. Put it in the sun, and the patterns inside will rotate, which is very strange."

This is a birthday present from Brother Baokang.

There were still four days before his birthday, but that day happened to be the last day of the exam. Brother Baokang said that there was no time to give the gift that day, so he gave it in advance.

Just now Xiao Li asked him for a prize, he only had a storybook in his bag, afraid that his younger brother would not like it, so he showed him this rare thing first.

Xiao Li was frightened, and shook his head resolutely not to look at it.

Erya and Jiaojiao heard the movement, came over and looked curiously at the kaleidoscope in the elder brother's hand.

"Brother, this is the kaleidoscope?" Erya stared at it brightly. She had heard from her uncle that the inside of the kaleidoscope was very magical. Could it be this?

Qiu Sheng nodded and said, "Well, this is the kaleidoscope."

"Then I want to see!"

Er Ya couldn't wait to come over and pick it up. After seeing the things inside, her eyes widened and she exclaimed in disbelief: "It's amazing, it really changes as much as Uncle said."

When Jiaojiao heard about it, she tiptoed her toes and looked at it. She also found it very strange to see the patterns changing constantly.

This human thing is amazing, how do so many patterns rotate in this small tube?

Seeing that my sister and sister are not afraid, but look at it with a happy face.

Xiao Li in the distance walked over eagerly again, then grabbed his elder brother's arm, and narrowed his eyes nervously to look up.

Hey, there are really many patterns moving.

They are all fixed patterns, nothing else, although they can move, Xiao Li doesn't seem very interested in them.

Erya and Jiaojiao took it over there to study.

Xiao Li pouted and pulled his elder brother and asked, "Is this the prize?"

Qiu Sheng shook his head and smiled, and said, "Your prize is something else. This kaleidoscope is a birthday gift from my brother's classmate. It can be enjoyed by everyone, but it cannot be given away at will. That is disrespectful to people."

Xiao Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with a smile, "That's great, then hurry up and see my prize."

Qiu Sheng never thought that he would look down on Kaleidoscope, so he shook his head and smiled, took out the storybook, and introduced: "This is a storybook, easy to understand, and the content is quite interesting."

The book is full of text, with only a few pictures, but the advantage of the storybook is that it is written in spoken vernacular, which is easy to understand.

Xiao Li has just learned to read, so reading this kind of story book will improve faster than reading ancient prose. The story is coherent, and many words and sentences are well-coordinated everyday speech, not as blunt as ancient prose.

Xiao Li has been reading those stories in his elder brother's room these days and nights, and his tongue is too convoluted. He just wanted to see if there are other books, and happened to be the story book that his elder brother sent.

"Thank you, brother, I like this prize very much."

Xiao Li happily took the story book, opened it and flipped through it, not looking at those awkward sentences, he was immediately overjoyed.

"I'm going to read this before bed tonight."

When Qiu Sheng heard this, he pulled his younger brother and asked, "Xiao Li, how did you know so many characters so quickly?"

In such a short period of time, logically speaking, he can only learn some simple words, so how can Xiao Li read the entire book in one go.

Xiao Li scratched his head and said, "It was my younger sister who gave me a book of ancient poems. I learned to memorize them, and then I learned to read them. Slowly, I will be able to read them."

Qiu Sheng was surprised to hear that there is such a method of literacy, so he joked with a smile: "Can you let the elder brother also read the ancient poems to see what kind of treasure is so powerful."

Hearing this, Xiao Li hurriedly ran out towards the door, and after a while, came in with a thick book of poetry in his hand.

"Brother, this is it."

Qiu Sheng smiled and opened it casually, seeing the words on it, he was a little shocked.

The font is not written with a brush, but more like engraved on it. It is neat and tidy at a glance.

And there are pictures and texts. Under each poem, there are simple landscape pictures and portraits drawn with a few lines, which are very attractive.

It's no wonder that Xiao Li is willing to watch to learn how to read. He was fascinated by those poems. He has such a good writing style, and the poems have never been heard before.

Could it be that this is a personal letter?

Qiusheng hurriedly took it to ask Jiaojiao.

Jiaojiao scratched her head and couldn't explain the space, so she pushed it to Master again, and said in a waxy voice, "Well, this book is from Master."

Erya heard about Master, glanced at the thick book, and muttered, "Why do you, Master, give you everything?"

Qiu Sheng was even more confused, and asked softly: "Jiaojiao, who do you worship as your teacher?"

Before Jiaojiao could speak, Erya said, "It's a monk with hair on the mountain of Qing'an Temple, Jiaojiao called him Master."

Qiu Sheng looked at Jiao Jiao, she blinked her big black eyes, nodded her head and said, "Well, Master is a good person."

Qiu Sheng classified this book as that master's handbook, and looked through it again. The characters are relatively single and large, which is easier to remember than the densely packed books.

It is suitable for Xiao Li, and there are relatively few repeated words in each poem, and a poem can have a hundred words at least. If you can memorize the words of two or three poems, then reading a vernacular story is really not a problem.

It's no wonder that Xiao Li has improved so much.

Seeing that elder brother seemed to like that book, Jiaojiao tilted her head and thought for a while and said, "Brother, master gave me many books, but I couldn't read them, so I put a few in your room, under the pillow at the head of your bed. .”

Qiu Sheng was taken aback when he heard this, and then he got up and went to the bedside. After opening the pillow, he found several thick and wide books.

Governing the country, Thirty-Six Strategies, Taoism, Confucianism.

After reading the title of the book, Qiu Sheng guessed that it was also the master's personal handwriting, because he had never heard of these books before, and the notes were exactly the same as Xiao Li's ancient poems. The square font was very clear, and the overall look was simple and comfortable .

Jiaojiao couldn't see elder brother's expression, and didn't know whether these books were suitable for her taste, so she hurriedly said, "Elder brother, if you don't like these books, I'll borrow some from master."

Anyway, the eldest brother didn't know that the master had left, so she just changed the book with the one in the space.

Qiu Sheng flipped through it briefly, and said with a smile: "No need to be Jiaojiao, my eldest brother likes these books very much. The four books are of different categories. After reading them, you will definitely benefit a lot and learn more useful knowledge."

As the exam is approaching, no one knows what questions the examiner will ask. I heard from the master that there are many kinds of things in previous years, so I asked them to read various types from time to time.

He copied books for others and accumulated a lot of story books, but he has hardly read the four books in front of him. They are personal letters, and Qiu Sheng is still very interested.
