Zhang Yue packed his luggage and prepared to go home for the holidays.
That night, my scholarly wife cooked a table full of food.
There were mixed beans, mountain mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots, and a plate of rabbit meat. The rabbit meat was cut into thin slices, marinated with wine, sauce, and pepper, then put into a pot and rinsed before eating. It was delicious.
The staple food is a big vat full of rice.
Zhang Yue almost burst into tears when he saw this. After time travel, we haven't made any progress, but our appetite has improved along the way.
In Zhoujintang, a large bowl of dry rice would only fill you up half full, so Zhang Yue had to drink clear soup after meals to make his stomach feel firmer.
This really made Zhang Yue wonder, is this the same version of himself who couldn't finish his 50-cent meal in the cafeteria?
What a shameful waste!
Under the dim oil, Guo Xuexuan was holding a small bamboo tube of wine and sipping it in small sips.
The master's wife said to Zhang Yue and Guo Lin: "Tomorrow, Sanlang will go home. In the past six months, Sanlang has been like a family here. The master's wife is really reluctant to go back like this. Today is regarded as New Year's Eve. Let's sit down and have a good drink as a family."
, Zhang Yue, please put in more dishes."
"Thank you, Mistress."
Guo Xuexue said: "Yue'er... my teacher has been ill in the past few months. I really feel sorry for you. You still hired a book to make money to treat my teacher's illness..."
Zhang Yue continued: "Sir, what do you mean by this... If it weren't for my senior brother recommending me, I wouldn't be able to make a living... Besides, all this money is for cultivating..."
Guo Xuexiu and his wife looked at each other. The wife said: "Yue'er, go back and talk to your brother and sister-in-law. When your husband is well enough, he will teach you carefully."
Zhang Yue felt a little nervous in his heart. There was nothing wrong with continuing to study under Guo Xuexuan. It was just that the professor seemed to be interested in accepting him as a disciple. What should he say now?
It was hard for Zhang Yue to say, but Guo Lin knew what Zhang Yue was thinking and quickly said, "What are you talking about? The dishes are already cold."
Guo Xuezhen glared at Guo Lin, then immediately stood up from the table and punched twice on each side. After twisting his waist left and right, he said: "You see, I'm not lying to you. The bones in my body are indeed much better. After the New Year,
Your body will be healed."
Zhang Yue saw the already lean Guo Xuejun sweating all over his head after exercising. He thought it was a bit funny at first, but after laughing, he felt bitter and thought, sir, he really wants to keep him here to study!
Zhang Yue stood up and said, "Sir, no matter what happens to me, Zhang Yue, in the future, you will always be my husband."
Guo Xuexiu and his wife thought Zhang Yue's words were a promise, and they were very happy immediately and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? I didn't say you are not Mr.'s student."
Under the dim light, Xuexue Guo drank a few sips of wine, but his wife forbade him to drink any more.
Guo Xuejun had no wine to drink, so he had to ask Zhang Yue about his homework. He was even more pleased to learn that Zhang Yue had finished reading Shangshu and had started reading the Book of Songs. He then started thinking about where to borrow books next year.
"Master's rice is cooked so well, I want another bowl!"
"Okay."
While his wife was feeding Zhang Yue, Guo Xuexu secretly took another sip of wine, then made a silent gesture to Zhang Yue and Guo Lin, and finally smacked his lips as if he was having endless aftertaste.
The wife brought another large bowl of rice to Zhang Yue. After thinking about it, she used a rice spoon to tamp down the rice and added two more spoons.
Guo Lin shook his head when he saw Zhang Yue eating, and then moved his favorite dish in front of him.
That night, the moon was shining brightly like water. Outside the window, the local dogs were gobbling up the broken bones and rice, while the lame slaves were leaning against the trees and singing slang songs with unknown tunes.
When Zhang Yue was packing his luggage, he heard Guo Lin beside him let out a long sigh.
Zhang Yue smiled and said, "Senior brother, don't miss me. I'll be back on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year."
Guo Lin said angrily: "Who wants you to come?"
Seeing Guo Lin's sad expression, Zhang Yue suddenly said: "Brother, do you know what the lame slave is singing?"
Guo Lin melancholy said: "How do I know? Does junior brother understand?"
Zhang Yue said: "Although I don't understand it, I know that the lame slave sings about the love between a man and a woman."
Guo Lin walked up to Zhang Yue and said seriously: "You don't know how men and women love each other at a young age, so don't focus on studying."
"Senior brother said to me, haven't you always missed Miao Sanniang?"
"You... how do you know?" Guo Lin's expression was very complicated, he was angry, frustrated, and even a little relieved that his mind had been peeked.
"Senior brother, please don't silence me. I have already secretly told my wife, so it's useless for you to silence me."
When Guo Lin heard what Zhang Yue said to his mother, he was so embarrassed that he thought about it: "Why did you say that? Do you think telling the teacher's wife is for my own good?"
"That's not true. I was chatting with my wife that day and I couldn't hold my tongue for a while." Zhang Yue continued: "Senior brother, please calm down. What's wrong with men and women missing each other? The first chapter of the Book of Songs is about Guan Guan Jujiu, in the river.
Zhou. A graceful lady, a gentleman is fond of quarrels. But the sage said three hundred poems, and his thoughts were innocent!"
"It is human nature for men and women to fall in love with each other. Only those who turn a blind eye have distorted thoughts."
"Things are wrong," Guo Lin couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then said: "A beautiful lady, I have longed for her. I can't get it, and I have been thinking about it for a long time. How can my junior brother know the pain of lovesickness in this?"
At this point, Guo Lin held the door frame and said: "When you enter my lovesickness door, you know that my lovesickness is painful. Long lovesickness makes you remember each other, and short lovesickness makes you infinite. If I had known that it would be so annoying, why would I not have known each other in the first place."
Do you really think I'm a twelve or thirteen year old kid?
Zhang Yue said: "Although I don't know the pain of lovesickness, I have heard about it. I have a way to relieve the pain of lovesickness, senior brother!"
"Junior brother, don't say it's a joke... How can I relieve the pain of lovesickness... That's all. Junior brother, please tell me."
Zhang Yue nodded and said with a serious face: "Brother, you are right. Otherwise, if I teach you this method, it will be in vain. I have also heard from others that it is indeed effective. There is a scholar who admires a woman and asks for it.
No. So he decided to memorize the most difficult meaning of the sutra. Every time he thought of this woman, he would memorize the next page of the sutra and write it down with pen and ink. When one day he would accumulate paper and books, he would never see this woman again.
Give this book as a gift..."
Hearing the words, Guo Lin paced back and forth in the room, nodded repeatedly and said: "Junior brother is really knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Giving a gift like this is not rude to the beautiful woman, but can also express his feelings and not give up what he has learned... This is a wonderful method, so what happened later?"
Has the student succeeded in embracing the beauty?"
Zhang Yue shook his head and said, "By the time the student reached the second page, he had already given up the pain of lovesickness."
Hearing this, Guo Lin stood dumbfounded for a while and then said angrily: "Junior brother, are you lying to me again?"
Zhang Yue laughed heartily and said, "Brother, you are so stupid. It took me a long time to think about it."
"Ahem, but to be serious, senior brother, is it hard to miss lovesickness or hard to study?"
Guo Lin sighed: "Honestly speaking, studying is more difficult."
"That's it," Zhang Yue said, "Senior brother can bear the pain of studying, so what does the pain of lovesickness mean? But if senior brother really likes Miao Sanniang, he still needs to let her know."
"So what? I don't deserve him..." Guo Lin's face turned slightly red when he said this.
"It's so brilliant," Zhang Yue said with admiration, "How can I give up without being rejected?"
The next day Zhang Yue returned home from Wuxi.
After living in the mountains for half a year, will you return home after completing your studies?
Whether you finish your studies or not, you have to go home. Haven’t you seen the Spring Festival travel rush every year?
The principle is the same whether you have money or not and go home to celebrate the New Year.
Zhang Yue got up early that day. Guo Xuexuan and his wife filled Zhang Yue with mountain goods and asked people in the village to help Zhang Yue pick a path.
In addition to the local goods, his recent income of three and a half cents per page of servant books has really made him much richer, and he still has a lot of money left.
Before leaving, the mistress strung the money together, sewed it on Zhang Yue's waistband, and told him not to take it off until home. Zhang Yue thought to himself, what would he do if he went out to pay his respects?
In the early morning, fog rose from the mountains, and the semi-dried green stream was also immersed in the fog.
Because the stream is fordable, there is no need to follow the stream when returning home this time. Instead, we take a shortcut through the mountains. Although the shortcut takes half an hour, it is steep. Zeng Zeng asked Zhang Yue if he dared to walk, and how could Zhang Yue suffer?
Excited, I took a shortcut.
Zhang Yue and his companions walked along the mountain road or along the stream, with their feet stepping on the pebbled beach. In their ears, they could vaguely hear the sound of running water from the streams and springs, but when they looked for the sound, they could not find it.
As we walked further, the sky became brighter. Zhang Yue was already sweating and panting like an ox. Even though he was young and strong, he couldn't help but sit on the rocks to rest. At this time, the mist in front of his eyes had gradually dissipated, but he saw the stream flowing out of the mountain.
The stream surface downstream seemed to become wider in an instant, and the lagoon of Silver Lake was heard from a distance. The sound of the water that I had not been looking for before was actually right in front of me, and I had never seen such a beautiful scenery before.
Zhang Yue couldn't help but recite an article he had just read recently.
"If the barbarians are close, there will be many tourists; if the danger is far, the number of those who will come will be few. However, the wonders, weirdness, and extraordinary sights of the world often lie in the dangers and distances, and they are rarely visited by people. Therefore, only those who are determined cannot reach them.
Ye. If you have ambitions, you won’t be able to follow them. But if you don’t have enough strength, you won’t be able to achieve them..."
Zhang Yue had read this article in a textbook before he traveled through time, but he copied it from someone else after he traveled through time. However, his perspective after reading it twice was completely different.
Those who wish to travel far and observe wonders must have ambition and strength. Wang Jiefu really does not deceive me.
Walking down the mountain along the stream, you can see the outline of the county town not far away!
Walking this road is really fast.
When I walked here and looked at the bustling pedestrians under the city, compared with the silence in the mountains, it seemed like a world away.
When Zhang Yue arrived here, he refused to enter the county town. Zhang Yue saw that he could not invite him to his home, so he gave him a handful of money. But the man said: "You are a scholar, I cannot accept you."
money.”
After saying his firm words, he left.
Zhang Yue looked at the man's back and sighed at the simplicity of the world.
Zhang Yue picked up his luggage and turned around and walked towards Shuinan New Street. When he walked to the street, he saw many familiar neighbors.
"Sanlang, you are finally back."
"Sanlang is returning home after completing his studies."
"Exactly, I came back to take the first prize exam."
A burst of laughter came, and the neighbors were still teasing and joking. No one believed that he was lazy and refused to study in the past. After entering the mountain, he immediately started studying seriously.
But this tone, these words are still familiar.
Zhang Yue remembered the guide he had read in his last life on how to deal with interrogation of relatives when returning to his hometown during the holidays, so he immediately asked: "Aunt Ma, is your Sanlang married yet? Not yet, so hurry up! Let me tell you one thing, I know him well in the county.
"
"Uncle Chen, your boss still has diarrhea? He needs to be cured! I have a local recipe here. I asked about it from the mountains. Let's go back and try it."
"Po Yu, are you still coughing? Just bear with it and go over. Just kidding, I have some herbs I caught from the mountains for you. You can try it."
There were long sighs coming from behind Zhang Yue, this kid... is really humane, much better than his Erlang.
Zhang Yue listened to his heart and said that a drop of kindness will be repaid by a spring, but this kind of kindness does not need to be repaid after development.
After walking, Zhang Yue arrived at the door of his house.
ps: I’m going to Sanjiang. I’ll update twice tomorrow. I’m also asking for your recommendation votes! Please help me.
