When Zhang Zhaohua entered the west room, there was not much space in this room, but it was warm, which should be the reason why the fire had been lit under the stove. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the countryside, sometimes children are confused and sick, and they say that their souls are lost, and after they are found, they will press them with a scale. Zhang Zhaohua walked over and lifted the quilt to see that Tiantian was so stuffy that there was visible heat coming out of his head.

Zhang Zhaohua was startled, thinking that the doll had held her breath, and was about to take her out, when he saw Tiantian open her mouth and yawn big, and then opened her eyes.

"Sister Hua," Tian Tian muttered for a while, and then seemed to be a little sober, and shouted, "Sister Hua, why are you here?"

"It's not Sister Hua, it's Sister Hua. Zhang Zhaohua reluctantly corrected it again, and said, "I heard that you are sick, and I came to see you - what kind of disease are you having?"

"It's just frozen," Tian Tian said: "I wear less clothes, Wang's mother said that she didn't bring a few clothes here, but I didn't expect this place to be much colder than the county seat." ”

"At this time, it is actually colder inside the house than outside," Zhang Zhaohua said: "You are running and jumping outside the house, but you are warm." Saying that, she looked at Tiantian's face and said, "Why do you sleep with the quilt on, don't you feel breathless?"

"My aunt said that this will make me sweat as soon as possible," Tian Tian said: "I will be fine if I sweat more." ”

"I can't sweat all the time, I'll collapse. Zhang Zhaohua told her: "Also, your place is not breathable, you will lack oxygen if you stay for a long time, you can't stay in the quilt all the time, you have to go outside to breathe fresh air." ”

"I wanted to go out, but Wang's mother was guarding the door, saying that she was running errands outside for the past two days and wouldn't let me go out. Tian Tian said: "Sister Hua, there has been a lot of noise outside, what are you doing?"

"It's just a banquet," Zhang Zhaohua couldn't explain the matter of the township drinking ceremony, so he asked, "Did you eat in the morning?"

Tian Tian just shook her head, when she heard the door curtain being lifted with a hula, and Brother Duan came in excitedly carrying a food box half the size of his body, and said, "There is something delicious!"

Zhang Zhaohua was worried that Tian Tian had a severe cold, but looking at her now, her condition is not serious and she is about to recover, and she is still a child who has been beaten in the countryside.

She didn't care that Brother Duan'er entered the house and touched the edge of the kang, only to hear Brother Duan'er say that there was a preserved food over there, and the hot dishes began to be cooked under the stove, just like making a running water mat, he picked a few plates and hurried over.

Zhang Zhaohua opened the food box and saw that it was celery snow fungus, boiled edamame and garlic white meat rolls, and there were two big white steamed buns next to them, but the snow-white steamed buns were printed with a circle of bright oil marks, which could be seen clearly in the dark room.

It's not that Brother Duan didn't wash his hands after eating, he is a child who loves cleanliness, and he always has a towel in his pocket, just like a handkerchief on the clothes of children of the same age in later generations. This circle of mimeographs is specially smeared, and in the eyes of the countryside, it is a terrible food to be able to eat white-flour steamed buns or white-flour steamed buns wrapped in lard. After all, the host, the intermediary, the guest and the person accompanying the banquet at the banquet just meant it, and most of the feasts that followed were distributed to the villagers who came to hear the news.

Tian Tian took a piece of white meat roll and ate it, her eyes lit up, and she pushed the plate over and asked Zhang Zhaohua to eat it too, Zhang Zhaohua just ate something when she was full, so she let her eat it herself. Don't look at Tiantian as a five-year-old girl, but the amount of food is not small, except for the edamame that has not moved at all, the white meat rolls and parsley have been eaten cleanly, and one and a half steamed buns have been eaten.

"Why don't you eat edamame," Zhang Zhaohua took a edamame and threw the beans into his mouth: "This is green food, a good thing." ”

"I'm used to eating it at home," Tian Tian shook her head and said, "Boiled, steamed, stir-fried, and eaten with water to make bean rice, now I smell this taste unpleasant." ”

Zhang Zhaohua knew that some people really eat edamame as a staple food, the scientific name of this thing in this era is "Shu", and the wheat rice is the longest thing for the poor to eat, which is nothing more than the stuff of broken wheat grains and boiled water from edamame, and the word "Shushui quinoa" is the synonym for coarse tea and light rice.

It seems that Tiantian's family life is not very good, so her parents sent her to Yue's aunt's house, and they also know that Yue's life in the city is very good, Zhang Zhaohua also wondered why Yue's family didn't help the family, and after asking, he learned that Tiantian was a distant relative of Yue's family, a very shallow kinship, and Yue's family could take care of Tiantian, and he really did his best.

After a while, they heard melodious music outside, and the three of them walked out of the house, stood on the steps and listened intently for a while, and Duan Ge'er said: "It's playing "Nanshan Youtai". ”

"There is a platform in the south mountain, and there is a lai in the north mountain. Happy only gentleman, the foundation of the state. Happy gentleman, long life-"

Listening to the famous passages in the "Book of Songs" played by the sheng and chime in the hall, Zhang Zhaohua also hummed along, and Brother Duan saw that she was fascinated by it, so he leaned over and asked, "Haven't you heard it before?"

"The grain chief also sang a few words," Zhang Zhaohua recalled with a frown: "It's like pulling a big saw, where is there a musician who sings well." ”

Saying that, she turned around and said, "Did the grain chief put a lot of thought into arranging for the musicians to sing songs?"

Brother Duan'er thought for a while, nodded and said, "It seems that it is, before my father said that he had invited the musicians of the teaching workshop, but Grandpa said that he wanted the musicians of the Confucian Temple to come over." ”

"That's it. Zhang Zhaohua said: "Do you know why - did you hear something?"

Duan Ge'er looked at her with a puzzled expression.

"The three songs sung by the musicians are "Yuli", "Nanyoujiayu", and "Nanshan Youtai," Zhang Zhaohua said: "The first song "Yuli" praises the richness of the delicacies; the second song "Nanyou Jiayu", which describes the feelings of the guests and hosts, and the last song "Nanshan Youtai", which is extremely blessed, and wishes the guests a long life and a long life for their descendants. Is that so?"

Seeing Brother Duan'er nodding, Zhang Zhaohua said: ""Yuli" and "Jiayu" have only been praised once, but "Nanshan Youtai" has been praised three times, especially the three sentences of "the foundation of the state family", "the light of the state family", and "the parents of the people" have been chanted repeatedly, do you know why?"

Duan Ge'er said: "Because today, the parents and officials of the state and county are here, and this is to celebrate the birthday of the parents and officials." ”

Zhang Zhaohua said: "It's just a matter of praise and irony-"

"But 'the sound of virtue is endless', so it is the 'light of the state'. However, 'Deyin is Mao', so it is the 'foundation of the state family'," Zhang Zhaohua said: "Only a virtuous gentleman is the pillar and foundation of the country." And the last sentence 'Bao Ai Erhou', the so-called protection of my children and grandchildren, Li Min, is not only for the people to get rich, not only for the parents of the people. That is to say, it is hoped that the state and county officials will not only become rich for the people, but also pay attention to the education of virtue. ”

Seeing that Brother Duan still didn't understand, Zhang Zhaohua said: "The praise itself is a burden, and the congratulations itself is a heavy pressure. The high praise of the guests is to use the way of elevation to make a person in a high position shameless and dare not be ashamed of the present. ”

Zhang Zhaohua knew the intention of the grain chief. He was a native of Confucius and Mencius, inheriting the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and the state and county officials were also educated by the books of Confucius and Mencius, but because of the decrees of the superiors to Mencius, they changed their attitudes, and moved the village drinking ceremony from the Temple of Literature to the countryside, which was nothing more than to avoid sacrificing Mencius.

There is mulberry in the south mountain, and there is yang in the north mountain. Happy only gentleman, the light of the state. Happy only gentleman, longevity without borders.

Therefore, it is not that a virtuous gentleman will become the light of the state, but that I wish you, the officials who can be the parents of the people and the foundation of the state, have some virtue.
