Doomsday bosses in ancient times

Chapter 63 A Different Third Brother
Even Yun Dong, who doesn't like academics, would want to be recognized and praised when he learned from his little uncle that his grandfather had taught him a "Master Juren".

"Oh, what books have you learned?" Seeing Yun Dong's confident expression, Father Li became interested and asked aloud.

"Grandpa, I have learned some enlightenment books such as "San Zi Jing", "Hundred Surnames", "Thousand Characters", "Children's Learning Qiong Lin", "Long Wen Bian Ying", etc. In addition, I have learned "University" , "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Analects of Confucius" and some poetry miscellaneous notes and local general meanings." Yun Dong said confidently to his grandfather.

Father Li was surprised when he heard Yun Dong's words. He didn't expect his grandson to have learned so much when he was only about nine years old. He asked, "Did I just read it, or did I read it well and memorize it?"

"When I go back to my grandfather, I can basically memorize everything except what I haven't learned yet."

"Respect Hua Daxiao, Wu Mu is loyal. What's behind?"

"Emphasis on China and great filial piety, Wu Mu's loyalty. Yao eyebrows have eight colors, and Shun eyes have double pupils. The king of Shang prayed for rain, and the ancestors of Han sang. Xiu patrolled Hebei and planned to occupy Jiangdong. Taizong embraced the harrier (yào), and Huan Dian rode the cong ( cōng). Guests Fuxue, Shengzu Yinhong. Yexian Qiushui, Xuansheng Spring Breeze. Kai Chong fights for wealth, dredging strives for merit. Wang Lun envoys captives, Wei Jiang and Rong. Xun stays in Hanoi, He guards Guanzhong... .”

The sound of Lang Lang's reciting came, and Yun Dong, who had his eyes open, put his hands behind his back and followed the four-character sentence, shaking his head and reciting the contents of the book.

The ups and downs of the child's voice spread throughout the hall, and Yunxi, who was sitting in Li's mother's arms, was very surprised. She always knew that her third brother didn't like liberal arts very much and dreamed of becoming a general. He is excellent in his studies, but he did not expect his third brother to be able to memorize such an awkward article. Seeing the look in his grandfather's eyes as if he had discovered a treasure made Yunxi get to know his third brother again today.

"Poor without flattery, rich without pride".why? "

"The implication of these words is that you should not be flattering when you are poor, and you should not be arrogant when you are rich. It is also teaching me and others to be poor but not flattering, and rich but not arrogant." Yun Dong replied according to his own understanding of "The Analects of Confucius". Father Li's words.

Grandpa Li nodded approvingly. He always knew that his daughter's second son was a genius at studying, but he didn't expect that this youngest son would not give up too much.

"Okay, okay, it's hard for our daughter to bring the child here, why is she taking on the role of your wife again, you haven't taught for several years, let my grandson have a good rest, drink some water to quench his thirst, and recite it A large section of the book was tested by you, an old pedant, really "Mother Li saw that her daughter came here with great difficulty, so she didn't hurry up to chat with her, have a reunion dinner or something, instead, she taught her children here Here, Mother Li, who couldn't get used to it, directly talked about Father Li.

Father Li was delighted to see it, so he asked one more question unconsciously, but he was not annoyed by his wife's reprimand, but he was not annoyed, he couldn't lose face, so he praised Yun Dong and told Yun Dong to study hard. Let Yundong go back to his parents.

Yunxi had a new understanding of her third brother today. She felt that before she wanted to take it back, she didn't see what her third brother was capable of.

"Mom, I made a suit of clothes for you and dad. You can try it on at night to see if it fits. If it doesn't fit, please ask my sister-in-law to modify it."

"Mother has no shortage of clothes to wear now. Don't keep making clothes for your mother and your father. The clothes you give every year can still be worn. Mother can't bear to wear out your eyes, or you won't be able to see clearly when you get old." gone."

"Mother, it's okay, my daughter can't be filial to you and father, so I can only make clothes for you and father, and I will take my daughter's filial piety."

"Hey, mother knows that your child is filial."

In the hall, Mother Li hugged Yunxi and chatted with Li Wanrou, and occasionally teased Yunxi in her arms and Yundong who was standing beside Li Wanrou. Li Wanrou's elder brother talked to Yunyi and Mr. Li from time to time. The eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, went out to arrange a meal for noon. After the arrangements were made, Mrs. Zhang's son Li Yan came back from visiting friends outside.

It has been three years since Li Yan was admitted as a scholar. During this period, he also participated in Chunwei, but failed. After the Chinese New Year this year, it will be another year of Chunwei. Relatively near, hope to get some useful news.

Mr. Li doesn't know that his grandson is already planning to ask some people with backgrounds about the examiners' preferences for next year's rural examination. guarantee.

He has been a little bit unhappy recently, his family background is too weak, and these people disdain to be with him, which makes him very distressed. He thinks that his knowledge is not bad, but every time he is not listed, he is admitted as a scholar at fifteen, and now Three years later, he was still a scholar, which shocked him who was always proud. I don't know why?
After entering the house, he found that he would come out to greet his mother as soon as he came back on weekdays, but she didn't come out today. When I walked near the main hall, I heard lively voices inside. After listening carefully, I found that it was my aunt's family. He came, quickly packed up his clothes, and then entered the hall.

"Yan'er is back. You haven't eaten yet. It just so happens that your aunt and uncle are here. Let's eat together later." Mother Li said with a smile when she saw her grandson coming in.

"Grandfather, grandmother, father, uncle, aunt." Li Yan saluted all the elders present.

He replied: "I haven't eaten yet. I just entered the house and I was wondering why I didn't see my mother today. It turned out that my aunt and uncle came. This is my cousin? She is already so tall, grandma, this must be my little cousin?" Li Looking at the grown-up Yundong, Yan said in surprise, then looked at Yunxi in Li's mother's arms, and confirmed with Li's mother.

"That's right, this is your aunt's youngest daughter. Her name is Yunxi, and her nickname is Guaibao. Your aunt's family is really rare." Mother Li said to Li Yan with a smile.

When his cousin came in, Yunxi noticed that he was wearing a moon-white wide-sleeved gown, his hair was tied with a ribbon of the same color on the top of his head, he was wearing a crimped jade pendant around his waist, and he was holding a handful of Folding fan, dressed like a literati.

Nothing special, the only thing that deserves to shine may be that he is good-looking, fair and clean, and gentle, coupled with his status as a literati, he has the temperament of a frail scholar in the ancient population.

"Oh, son, you are back. It just so happens that the meals for parents are already ready. Let the younger sister and brother-in-law take the children to eat together. It must have been so long, everyone is hungry." Just as several people were talking, Mrs. Zhang came in to inform everyone of the food. Ready.

After a group of people sat down, the servants brought the food to the table one after another. Mother Li and Father Li didn't say anything, and the family had a reunion dinner at ease.

After drinking and eating, Li Yan told his uncle that there is a lantern exhibition in Shanghe County today. You can take your cousins ​​to see it, let off the river lanterns, guess the puzzles, and get free lanterns if you guess correctly. , only Yundong Yunxi said yearning.

The eyes that want to go should not be too obvious. Yunxi has never seen an ancient lantern show. Even before the end of the world, he rarely had the opportunity to see it. At most, he would "cloud participate" in activities held in other cities on the Internet. Later It is even more impossible to go to see it in the end of the world. Now that there is such a good opportunity, of course I should go and see it.

Yunxi looked at Li Wanrou expectantly with longing eyes, and finally Li Wanrou couldn't stand her daughter's pitiful eyes, and agreed dotingly.

Yundong and Yunxi cheered happily, causing Yunyi and Li Wanrou to shake their heads helplessly and dotingly.

Li's father and Li's mother are also very supportive of Li Wanrou's ability to take the child out for a walk. It is better than a child who has never seen the world. With more knowledge, he thinks and sees differently from others, and it is also helpful for the child's future life.

After Li Wanrou finished chatting with Li's mother, Yunyi and Li Wanrou got up and said they were going home. They were going to go back and bring Father Yun, Mica, and go to the county town to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together. They couldn't just go by themselves and leave the elders at home. Not filial.

Li's mother also knew that her daughter was married after all. Although she was reluctant to give up, she was very sensible and asked Mrs. Zhang to bring some return gifts to her in-laws, and asked the servants to prepare.

After the return gift was ready, the servants drove the ox cart of the Yun family to the door. Li Wanrou hugged Yunxi and got into the ox cart. Yun Dong was already a big child, so he got into the ox cart easily. Li Wanrou and Li Mu Reluctantly, Yunyi finally drove the ox cart to Yunjia Village.
