Even Yundong, who doesn't like academics, will want to be recognized and praised when he learns from his uncle that his grandfather has taught a "master of the people".
"Oh, what books have you studied?" Father Li saw Yundong's confident look and became interested, so he asked aloud.
"Grandpa, I have learned some enlightenment books such as "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Surnames", "Thousand Character Essay", "Young Learning Qionglin", "Long Wen Whip Shadow", etc. In addition, I have now learned "Great Learning"
, "The Doctrine of the Mean", "The Analects of Confucius" and some poems and miscellaneous notes on local general meanings." Yun Dong said to his grandfather confidently.
Father Li was surprised when he heard Yundong's words. He didn't expect that his grandson, who was only about nine years old, had already learned so much. He asked, "Have you just read it, or have you read it thoroughly and memorized it?"
"When I go back to my grandpa, I can basically memorize it except for things I haven't learned yet."
"Chinese and filial piety are valued, Wu and Mu are loyal and loyal. What's next?"
"The great filial piety of Hua is emphasized, the loyalty of Wu and Mu is great. Yao's eyebrows are eight-colored, and Shun's eyes are full of pupils. The king of Shang prays for rain, and the singing style of the ancestors of Han Dynasty. Xiu patrols Hebei, and plans to take control of Jiangdong. Taizong cherishes the harrier (yào), and Huan Dian rides on the Cong (
cōng). Guests wrote snow, the saints chanted the rainbow. The autumn water of Yexian, the spring breeze of Xuansheng. Kai Zhong fights for wealth, Hun Jun strives for merit. Wang Lun envoys prisoners, Wei Jiang and Rong. Xun stays in Hanoi, how can he guard Guanzhong...
.”
The sound of Lang Lang's endorsement came, and Yundong, who originally had his eyes open, put his hands behind his back, shaking his head and reciting the contents of the book along with the four-character sentences.
The melodious children's voice spread throughout the hall, surprising Yun Xi who was sitting in Mother Li's arms. She had always known that her third brother did not like liberal arts very much and dreamed of becoming a general. Although, he had told her before that he
Although he was very good at academics, he never expected that his third brother could memorize such an awkward article. Seeing the look in his grandfather's eyes as if he had found a treasure made Yunxi get to know his third brother again today.
“Be poor without flattery, be rich without arrogance”. What’s the meaning?”
"The meaning of this sentence is to say that you should be poor but not flattery, and rich but not arrogant. It also teaches our descendants to be poor but not flattery, and rich but not arrogant." Yun Dong answered according to his own understanding of the Analects of Confucius.
He listened to Father Li’s words.
Grandpa Li nodded approvingly. He had always known that his daughter's second son was a genius in reading, but he did not expect that this younger son would be no less generous.
"Okay, okay, our daughter finally came here with her child, why did she take on the responsibility of your wife again? You haven't been teaching for several years. Let my grandson have a good rest and drink some water to quench his thirst. After carrying so many
A large section of the book was tested by an old scholar like you. "It's really hard for Mother Li to see her daughter come here. Instead of chatting with her more and having a reunion dinner or something like that, she is trying to teach her children here."
When they arrived, Mother Li, who couldn't stand it, spoke directly about Father Li.
Father Li was delighted to see the talent, so he unconsciously asked one more question. He didn't expect to be scolded by his wife, but he was not annoyed and couldn't lose face. He praised Yundong and told Yundong to study hard.
Let Yundong return to his parents.
Yun Xi had a new understanding of her third brother today. She felt that she had to take back her words that she didn't see what her third brother was capable of before.
"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 help modify it."
"Mom has no shortage of clothes now. Don't always make clothes for Mom and your father. You can still wear the clothes you give me every year. Mom is reluctant to tire your eyes out, otherwise you won't be able to see clearly when you get old.
Already."
"Mom, don't bother me. My daughter can't be filial to you and your father anymore. I can only make clothes for you and your father. This is to fulfill your daughter's filial piety."
"Hey, mother knows that you are a filial child."
In the hall, Mother Li was holding Yunxi and chatting with Li Wanrou, occasionally teasing Yunxi in her arms and Yundong who was standing next to Li Wanrou. Li Wanrou's eldest brother talked to Yun Yi and Mr. Li from time to time.
Sister-in-law Zhang went out to make arrangements for lunch. After the arrangements were made, Zhang's son Li Yan came back from visiting friends.
It has been three years since Li Yan was admitted to the Xiucai Examination. During this period, he had also participated in the Spring Examination, but failed. After the Chinese New Year this year, it will be the Spring Examination again. During this period, he went with some students who had relatives at home and were officials in Beijing.
It's relatively recent and I hope to get some useful news.
Mr. Li doesn't know that his grandson is already planning to inquire about the preferences of the examiners for next year's provincial examination from some people with backgrounds. Although the examiners have not been decided yet, he should establish a good relationship with these people first so that he can get more information by then.
Guarantee.
He has been having some troubles recently. His family background is too low, and these people don't bother to associate with him, which makes him very distressed. He thinks that he is not bad at learning, but every time he is not ranked on the list, he was admitted as a scholar at the age of fifteen. Now
Three years later, he is still a scholar, which makes him, who has always been proud, very shocked. I don’t know why?
After entering the home, he found that his mother, who usually came out to greet him as soon as possible after he came back, did not come out today. When he walked near the main hall, he heard the lively sounds inside. After listening carefully, he found that it was his aunt's family.
When he arrived, he quickly packed up his clothes and entered the hall.
"Yan'er is back. You haven't eaten yet. Your aunt and uncle happened to be here. Let's eat together later." Mother Li said with a smile when she saw her grandson coming in.
"Grandpa, grandma, dad, uncle, aunt." Li Yan saluted all the elders present.
He replied: "I haven't eaten yet. I just entered the house and I was thinking about why I didn't see my mother today. It turns out that my aunt and uncle are here. Is this my cousin? He's already so tall. Grandma, this must be my little cousin, right?" Li
Yan looked at the grown-up Yundong and said in surprise, then looked at Yunxi who was in Mother Li's arms and confirmed with Mother Li.
"That's right, this is your aunt's little daughter. Her nickname is Yunxi and her nickname is Guobao. Your aunt's family is very rare." Mother Li said to Li Yan with a smile.
Yun Xi noticed when his cousin came in. He was wearing a moon-white long-sleeved gown, his hair and the top of his head were tied with a ribbon of the same color. He wore a jade pendant around his waist and held a handful in his hand.
Folding fan, looking like a man of letters.
There is nothing special about him. The only thing worth mentioning is that he is good-looking, fair, and elegant. Coupled with his status as a scholar, he perfectly captures the weak and scholarly temperament described by the ancients.
"Oh, son, you are back. Just in time, the food for parents is ready. Let my sister and brother-in-law take the children to eat together. I think everyone is hungry after such a long time." While several people were saying this, Ms. Zhang came in to inform everyone about the food.
Ready.
After a group of people were seated, 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 comfortably.
After drinking and eating, Li Yan told his uncle that there was a lantern show in Shanghe County today. He could take his cousins to see it, put out river lanterns, guess the puzzle, and get free lanterns if you guessed it right.
, he only talked about Yundong Yunxi with a look of longing.
The look of wanting to go shouldn't be too obvious. Yunxi has never seen an ancient lantern show. Even before the end of the world, there were very few opportunities to see it. At most, he "cloud-participated" in activities held in other cities on the Internet. Later,
It would be even more impossible to go see it after the end of the world. Now that we have such a good opportunity, of course we should go see it.
Yun Xi looked at Li Wanrou expectantly with longing eyes. Finally, Li Wanrou couldn't stand the pitiful look in her daughter's eyes and agreed dotingly.
Yun Dong and Yun Xi cheered happily, while Yun Yi and Li Wanrou shook their heads helplessly and fondly.
Li's father and Li's mother are also very supportive of Li Wanrou's ability to take her children out for a walk. They are much better than children who have never seen the world. They have more experience and think and see differently from others, which will also help the children in their future lives.
After Li Wanrou finished chatting with Li's mother, Yun Yi and Li Wanrou got up and said they were going home. They were going to take Father Yun and Yun Mu back to the county town to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together. They couldn't just go by themselves and leave their elders at home. That would be too much.
Unfilial.
Mother Li also knew that her daughter was getting married after all. Although she was reluctant to give up, she was also very sensible. She asked Mrs. Zhang to bring some return gifts to her in-laws and asked her servants to prepare them.
After the return gift was ready, the servants drove the Yun family's ox cart to the door. Li Wanrou hugged Yunxi and got on the ox cart. Yun Dong was already a big child, so she easily got on the ox cart. Li Wanrou and Li's mother
After reluctantly leaving for a while, Yun Yi finally drove the ox cart towards Yunjia Village.
