"Wow-" The fish came out of the water, and before Han Yi could speak, the boy couldn't wait to rush over, unhook the fish, and put the fish into the fish basket.

"Childe, look, it's such a big fish. The boy trotted to Han Yi with the fish basket in his arms.

"This is the fish that Childe caught, why are you so happy? It looks like it's the fish you caught. The girl pouted when she saw the boy's eagerness to ask for credit.

The boy was stunned and scratched his head.

"I'm happy that Childe caught such a big fish. Childe, I'm afraid this fish will have to weigh eight catties. ”

"Hmm. Han Yi tidied up his white robe, stood up and glanced at the fish basket, and also smiled, "It should be eight catties." ”

"Xiaoye, pack up the fishing rod, let's go home, let Aunt Wang give you braised fish to eat. ”

"Okay, young master, you're the best. The girl jumped up with joy and quickly put away the fishing rod, bait, and food box.

"Young Master Han, please wait a minute. The old man couldn't sit still at this time, and hurriedly shouted.

"What advice does the old gentleman have?" A smile appeared on the corner of Han Yi's mouth, and in an instant, he turned around and looked at the old man.

"Han Gongzi, you are not kind. The old man's words made Han Yi stunned.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Han Gongzi, this place came first. ”

"Ah, it is true that the old gentleman came first. ”

"Even if you come first, Han Gongzi, you still come to compete with the old man, isn't it not very kind? Forget about competing for a fishing place, you also caught three big fish for three days in a row, and you caught three big fish, you don't know how to respect the old and share with the old man, this is really unkind. When the old man said this, the central idea conveyed was already very clear, and Han Yi naturally understood it very clearly.

It's just that Han Yi hasn't spoken yet, but the girl Xiaoye on the side can't help it.

"Hey, old man, you're too shameless, this river is not your family's, my son-in-law can go fishing wherever he likes, you have no ability, you can't catch fish, and you still rely on my son-in-law, you are still a famous Confucian in Tiandu City." ”

"Xiao Ye, don't be rude. Han Yi secretly said bad in his heart, and hurriedly scolded Xiao Ye, and then looked at the old man, his face was already extremely ugly.

"Old gentleman, the maid is rude, I hope the old gentleman will not blame, this fish will be regarded as a student to make amends to you. Han Yi took the fish basket from the boy's hand and put it at the old man's feet, then turned around and glanced at the girl Xiaoye helplessly, shook his head, and called out to the boy, "Xiaoling, let's go home, we won't use it here in the future." ”

"Yes, Childe. The boy Xiao Ling drooped his head in a dejected manner, packed up his things, and trotted away after Han Yi.

"Childe, I'm sorry, Xiao Ye said the wrong thing. The girl Xiaoye looked like she was about to cry.

"Okay, Childe doesn't blame you. Han Yi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes for Xiao Ye.

"However, Xiao Ye wants to eat the braised fish made by Aunt Wang. ”

Hearing Xiaoye's words, Han Yi froze, shook his head and smiled: "Okay, go back to the city, Gongzi go buy fish, and let Aunt Wang make it for you." ”

Just as the three of them were about to leave in the carriage, the old man's voice came from behind them.

"Han Gongzi is slow. ”

Han Yi turned around and looked at the old man.

"I wonder what else the old gentleman commands?"

"You've come here to fish with me all this time, I'm afraid you have another purpose. Are you ready to leave before you have achieved your goal? Young man, it's not a good habit to give up halfway. ”

Hearing the old man say this, Han Yi's face suddenly showed a touch of joy.

"Besides, this fish is so big, I can't eat much by myself. The old man touched his gray beard, "If Han Gongzi doesn't dislike it, it's better to go to the old grass house." ”

"Mr. invited, Han Yi didn't dare to disobey. Han Yi hurriedly bowed his hand and instructed the boy Xiao Lingdao, "Xiao Ling, quickly help Mr. pack up his things." ”

Half an hour later, a group of four people rode in a carriage to a simple grass house in the mountains. Soon, the carriage came to the grass house, the four of them got out of the car, the small door of the grass house was opened, and a middle-aged man in a gray cloth coat hurriedly greeted him.

"Teacher, you're back. The middle-aged man looked respectful.

"Hmm. The old man responded lightly and introduced Han Yi and said, "This descendant is called Han Yi, the son of the Han family in Tiandu City, he has been fishing in the stream with me for the past few days, and today he is invited to come to his house as a guest, Shang Yi, you go and deal with this fish, I want to drink a cup with Han Gongzi today." ”

"Yes, teacher. ”

The middle-aged man took the fish basket, led Han Yi and the others into the grass house, and served tea, and then went to deal with the big fish by himself.

A wine banquet, although there is no big meat, but there are big fish, the old man and Han Yi are all talking happily, Xiao Ye and Xiao Ling, the two little guys, but surprisingly playing with the middle-aged man named Shang Yi.

The old man drank a glass of thin wine before he looked at Han Yi and looked at him twice.

"Master Han, let's say, you have been coming to the old man to fish every day these days, what are you asking for?"

A few days ago, the student learned from the teacher of the academy that Mr. Yuanxi was hidden in this mountain, and the student wanted to come to ask for knowledge, and he was worried about disturbing Mr. Yuanxi, so he made this decision. Han Yi arched his hand and said.

"Oh, I see. Mr. Yuanxi's eyes flickered, "It was that little guy Huairen who told you that I was here." Is he still haunted by that?"

Speaking of this, Mr. Yuanxi showed a little melancholy.

"The teacher has always been guilty, and he has failed to pass the teaching of Mr. for more than ten years, and he has not been able to take the imperial examination, and he cannot be named on the gold list and make a name for Mr. Han Yi walked to the room, faced Mr. Yuanxi, and bowed, "The teacher entrusted me, if I can see Mr., I will definitely make a big bow for him, in order to show my apologies for disappointing the teacher's kindness." ”

"Hmph, knowing that I live in seclusion in this Mintai Mountain, but he doesn't come to see me. Mr. Yuanxi snorted coldly.

Han Yi didn't dare to question the teacher's actions.

"Alright, get up. Seeing Han Yi sitting down in the middle of the banquet, Mr. Yuanxi spoke again, "I haven't accepted disciples for many years, and if you want to study with me, I'm afraid you won't be able to get what you want." ”

Hearing this, Han Yi's face showed a look of disappointment.

"However, if you have any doubts, you can come to this cottage, and the old decay can solve your doubts. ”

"So, thank you, sir. Han Yi was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

In this way, spring goes to autumn, Han Yi goes back and forth between Tiandu City and Mintai Mountain every day, and under Mr. Yuanxi's puzzles, his understanding of many sage classics is also more profound.

In the blink of an eye, it has been four years.

On this day, Han Yi carried a fresh big fish up the mountain as usual. However, when he came to the cottage, he found that the cottage was empty. Han Yi hurriedly searched inside and out, and all the things in the grass house had been moved, leaving only a letter to him.

After reading the letter, Han Yi realized that Mr. Yuanxi longed for the scenery of Wu and had already planned to relocate, but it was only because of Han Yi's study that it has been delayed until now. Today, Han Yi has already achieved some success, and there is no need for him to stay for a long time.

"Sir, you have a good trip. Han Yi faced the direction of Wu Di and bowed three times.

After returning to Tiandu City, Han Yi packed his bags and went to Beijing to take the exam. This is 20 years in a hurry. Han Yi was a high school champion, an official in Beijing, and was also called by His Majesty the Emperor as a concubine.

At that time, Han Yi was already thirty-seven years old, and when he returned to Tiandu City, everything was already wrong. Three months ago, when his brother on the street sent a letter to his family, the whole person was stunned on the spot as if he had been struck by lightning.

His mother, who had contracted a cold illness last year and was worried about him, finally fell ill and died in June this year. After getting the news, Han Yi immediately entered the palace to face the saint and asked to resign and return to his hometown to keep filial piety for his mother.

When Han Yi walked into the house with Xiaoye, a maid who had grown up, and Xiaoling, a scholar, the sadness that had been accumulated for a long time finally broke out. Looking at the heavy coffin in the mourning hall, Han Yi, who rushed home in the starry night, was physically and mentally exhausted, but he fell ill.

"Mother, the child is not filial. ”

Han Yi dragged the sick body and knelt on top of the mourning hall, his face pale and bloodless, and tears flowed silently.

"Zitong, you don't have to be like this, my mother has never blamed you, she has always been proud of you when she was alive. You don't know how happy your mother was when she heard the news of your high school champion. The middle-aged man, who was older than Han Yi, stood behind him, wearing a filial piety cloth, and comforted.

"Gu Yun, his parents are here, he doesn't travel far, Zitong can't do it, and he really has to study hard for many years. Even though I was the top student in high school, I failed to fulfill my filial piety under my parents' knees, and I was a son of man in vain, cough-cough-cough-" Han Yi finished speaking, coughing violently. His face was as earthy as earth, and he was so haggard that it made people feel distressed.

"Brother, mother, mother, finally, did you leave me a message. Han Yi plucked up the courage to ask.

"Mother told you, don't blame yourself, for so many years, she has never blamed you. After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he couldn't help sighing, facing his haggard younger brother, and the blame in his heart for not going home to visit his parents for 20 years was also lighter.

"The son wants to raise but doesn't wait, and the son wants to raise but doesn't wait. Han Yi muttered, his mind felt a strong dizziness, and he fell headlong on the mourning hall.

"Come on, come on, go and ask for a doctor...... In a trance, Han Yi only heard his brother Han Yusheng's anxious shout.

After that, Han Yi lay on the bed, and his body became weaker and weaker. When the emperor heard the news, he sent a decree and ordered the three imperial doctors to go to the Tiandu City to treat him. Han Yi's wife, Princess Youning, heard the news of Han Yi's illness, and washed her face with tears all day long.

In this way, in less than a year, Princess Youning was one step ahead of Han Yi and died of illness in the Horse Mansion. When the news reached Tiandu City, Han Yi almost collapsed like a thunderbolt, and his condition became more serious.
