The old farmer put his hands in his sleeves and sat alone on the millstone, thinking about something. He leaned against the big stone mill behind him and looked increasingly thinner. The guests at home had dispersed, and the joy of the farmer's family was short-lived and warm.
A hearty meal is considered bliss. After the meal, everyone naturally went back to their respective homes. Only a few diligent women were left to help the host family clean up the dishes. They deliberately avoided the place where the old farmer was, even if it was there.
There is also a bowl that an urchin placed on the ground.
The whole family hid in the house and watched the old farmer secretly, wondering what the young man had written on the note and why the old man was so heartbroken after reading it. He had been sitting alone on the millstone for two hours, so why was there still something happening?
Tears left?
The old man has been strong all his life. Not to mention that his grandchildren have never seen him cry, even his brothers of the same generation have never seen him cry. Now, the head of the family who used to be as hard as a rock is crying like a child who has been wronged.
A few days ago, the head of the old family received a letter. It was that letter that made him use the secret family line that he had never used before. He just handed a wooden box to a prince, and then paid close attention to the prince's movements.
This is dangerous for the family, especially dealing with the government. The Gongshu family has suffered enough from the powerful, so why bother asking for trouble again? Isn't it better to hide quietly at home and educate the children and grandchildren?
Yunti was defeated by Mozi, and Gou was defeated by Qin Huali. Every time the Gongshu family failed, a member of the family was killed, so they gave up the idea of making progress as a scholar early on, and they just hid in the human world and passed down the craftsmanship from generation to generation.
It has been passed down from generation to generation that although the great misfortune occurred during the Daye period and more than half of the family's population was lost, hasn't it recovered in recent years?
The old farmer's hands in his sleeves tightly held the note written by Yun Ye. The content on it was very simple, with only ten words.
"Another idiot who wants to be a stone." This was Yun Ye's reply, his tone was extremely rude.
When the old family leader saw these ten words, his heart was filled with uproar.
He has indeed turned into a stone, he has indeed turned into a stone. Only a stone can abandon his wife and children. Only a stone can watch the suffering of his people and turn a blind eye. Only a stone can say "I" when the family is in the most danger.
If you want to live forever, you leave. You can't see the young son waiting to be fed, and you can't see the gray-haired old father. He doesn't care about his wife's pleas, but with a smile on his face, he kicks the child away from his legs and leaves so simply.
I didn't know it before, but these ten words from Marquis Yun completely solved my sixty-year doubts. Father, when you left, were you already a stone?
The old farmer returned to the house with no hands, smiled and said to his family: "It doesn't matter, I just untied the knot in my heart, and I am a little sad. You don't have to worry."
"Father, what does that note say?" a farmer in his forties or fifties asked him.
The old farmer handed the note in his hand to his son and asked him to read it himself.
Glancing at those ten words, the farmer was furious.
"My father, that dog official, dares to look down upon my Gongshu family like this. I will take out the big yellow crossbow and shoot this dog thief to satisfy my anger."
The old farmer waved his hand to calm his son down. He looked at his two brothers and said, "The third child was still young at that time and can't remember things. Brother, do you think this sentence is an insult to my father-in-law and his family?"
An even older farmer sat next to the brazier, looked at the note in his hand and said to the owner: "If you look at my uncle's behavior back then, this statement is true."
"Brother, when my father was young, his intelligence was a hundred times better than mine. If there is a person who can become an immortal in the world, my father should be the most likely person. Marquis Yun said that all immortals will turn into stones. The only family is setting sail☆ Starry Night Won't Hurt Father
What you do is true.”
"Father, didn't you say that grandpa died of illness?"
"Jia'er, this is a shame for the Gongshu family. My father didn't want his descendants to have the same thing happen to him, so he hid this past incident. Now it's time for you to know."
The old farmer sat by the brazier and told the younger members of the family how his father had sacrificed his love to seek immortality. The story was not long, but it made people feel cold from the cracks in their bones. In addition, the old farmer couldn't speak.
As the story unfolded, the whole family burst into tears.
"Anyone in the family who dares to talk about immortality will be expelled."
This is the new family rule of the Gongshu family. The whole family shouted in unison: "Anyone who dares to talk about immortality will be kicked out!"
Yun Ye hid in the house like an ant on a hot pot. After a while, he ran out of the yard and took a look outside. Unfortunately, there were only empty streets and white snow on the ground. The sun was about to set, but no one came to the house.
The wine in it has been heated eight times and is almost gone.
Lao Zhuang didn't know who the guest was today. He only knew that the Marquis paid great attention to it. Not only did he cook the food himself, but he also entertained the distinguished guest with the best wine in the house. He also didn't know how noble the guest was. Last time Chai Shao was in trouble.
When the manager came to the house, the Marquis didn't cook the food himself, let alone the two jars of fine wine. I couldn't figure out who else in Shuofang City was worthy of the Marquis's attention.
Yun Ye concluded that there would be guests coming to the door today, and he was still the kind of truly talented master. If this master was brought back to the academy, the strength of Yushan Academy would be greatly increased, so he changed his past laziness and not only cooked the food himself,
Using fine wine and even the green vegetables in his room, he was determined to leave the best impression on the master.
The red clouds on the horizon gradually turned dark, and night fell. The old man picked out two lanterns and illuminated the door clearly, hoping that the guests would know that the host was still waiting for them when they saw the lanterns.
Yun Ye deliberately removed the guard at the door just to facilitate the arrival of guests. It seems that all this was in vain.
Just when he was about to tell the old man to eat the food and wine in the house, there was a knock on the door.
It was clearly written on the invitation that Gongshu Mu and his son Gongshu Jia came to visit him. Yun Ye's heart almost jumped out of his chest. He thought it was just a big fish, but he didn't expect it to be a giant whale, or a giant whale with a calf.
The descendants of Lu Ban, Yun Ye knew the weight of these people very well. They were no longer skilled craftsmen, but ready-made physicists and the best engineers. No matter how high the price was, they still wanted to keep people.
Come down, if it doesn't work, kidnap him, Yun Ye made up his mind.
Zheng Yi straightened his clothes and ordered everyone to come out to greet him. Lu Ban's descendants were worthy of him using the rituals of a marquis.
The old farmer is no longer dressed as a farmer. He is dressed in brown Hanfu, which makes the old man look very ancient. He deliberately does not wear round-neck clothes, wears wooden clogs at his feet, and has his hair tied with ancient rattan hairpins. The middle-aged man behind him is also dressed in Hanfu, with both hands
I casually took a look at the specifications of the Yun family's wedding, and it seemed that I was somewhat satisfied.
Yun Ye was dressed formally, just like the one he wore when he went to court. He stood in the door and saluted with a smile from a distance: "Mr. Gongshu has come to visit, and the small house is really full of splendor. It is polite for a junior to enter Yun Ye's place."
"Hahaha, Marquis Yun is an extraordinary talent. I am lucky enough to meet him. It is also a blessing in my life."
It turns out that Yun Ye always thought that old thieves in ancient times always laughed before they spoke, and thought it was added by novelists. Later, after staying in the Tang Dynasty for a long time, he discovered that this was true.
Habitually add words like haha, such as Li Yuan, such as Li Xiaogong, such as Fang Xuanling, the most representative character is Changsun Wuji, his face seems to always have a smile, he is fat and honest,
On the surface, he is so kind to everyone, but only he knows whether he greets other people's parents secretly. Yun Ye is always wary when meeting such people who say haha first. The person in front of him seems to be one too.
Thousand-year-old fox, the task tonight is very heavy, Yun Ye was secretly worried.
"The old man was joking. What's great is his tutor. The boy is only sixteen years old this year. There is no such thing as a genius. You are trying to spoil the boy rotten." The old man can live up to these words regardless of his status or age. Who can
What if someone's ancestor is Lu Ban?
"Alas, what Marquis Yun said is wrong. Young heroes are enviable. Being a marquis at such a young age makes others envious. Hahaha."
There was laughter again. From the time he entered the house until now, the old man did not mention the purpose or the actual content. He made a lot of empty words and clichés, which made Yun Ye anxious. It is better for the old guys in the academy, no matter how good they are or what they say.
Just say it directly and never say such nonsense.
"This must be Mr. A, I'm here to greet you." Yun Ye saw that the old fox was not easy to bite, so he wanted to see if this small fox would have a chance to bite him.
"Marquis Yun is so polite. There is no reason for me to call you sir in front of my father." Gongshu Jia returned the greeting with a smile.
There is a way. The old fox is as slippery as a loach. The little fox just peeked at the Yun family's guard of honor and nodded. It seems there is a way.
"Mr. Gongshu came just in time. I personally cooked a few side dishes to make senior chatter smile."
"Marquis Yun has long expected that I will come, and has prepared food and wine early. How can I not disturb you with such hospitality?"
The food and wine were placed in Yun Ye's living room. The tableware was specially borrowed by Yun Ye from Chai Shao. It is not good in Chang'an, but it is definitely the best in Shuofang. It's a pity that there are no maids, so the food can only be served by the rich and powerful.
Gentlemen.
"I'm in a military camp, so I'm a bit shabby. Please forgive me, sir." If he were in Chang'an, Yun Ye would definitely arrange this meal to be extremely luxurious, but unfortunately in Shuofang, he could only make do with it. My husband didn't answer the call, and
I studied those chairs, tried to sit on them, looked at the table, nodded, and seemed quite satisfied.
"Marquis Yun is joking, such exquisite tableware, coupled with delicious food, can't be considered shabby, not to mention that it is even rarer to have vegetables to eat on a snowy day. I am a mountain villager who has such a special experience. I am flattered.
,Hahaha."
The old thief started to laugh again. He probably had the idea of being born for a long time, but he just couldn't find a suitable opportunity. He is a technical talent and cannot have much development in the officialdom. If no one recommends him, he will get there.
He was just a head craftsman. He found out Yun Ye's background and knew that he was the same type of person, so he boldly visited the house. After all, a family cannot remain hidden for too long, otherwise it would have been forgotten by history. In this way
As a result, there is no point in maintaining the longevity of the family. He knows it, and Yun Ye also knows it, but neither of them talks about it, like two idiots.
