After the meal, Uncle Fan boiled a pot of boiling water and took out this year's Mingqian tea that he personally fried. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"The quality of tea is the best before the Qingming Dynasty, so there is a saying about tea before the Ming Dynasty. My tea leaves are all pesticide-free. Uncle Fan said.
"If you don't use pesticides, won't the yield be low?" asked Wei Xiaodong.
"Yes! But to be a human being, you have to speak of conscience. I can't control whether others use pesticides or not, but I can control my own use. Uncle Fan said.
"By the way, Uncle Fan, is that Fan Zhongyan the ancestor of your Fan family?" Wei Xiaodong asked.
"Yes, have you studied his writings?" said Uncle Fan.
"Yes, don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself. The worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world. Very well written. Wei Xiaodong said.
"I know more about him than you do. Do you want to hear it!" Uncle Fan said.
"Of course. I've always admired him. Wei Xiaodong asked.
"Although Fan Zhongyan is my ancestor, it has been more than a thousand years since now. When Fan Zhongyan was two years old, his father died, and his mother remarried to a family surnamed Zhu, and when Fan Zhongyan was in his twenties, by the way, it was about the same age as you are now, and those people surnamed Zhu excluded Fan Zhongyan, and at this time, Fan Zhongyan knew that he was surnamed Fan. He went back to the Fan family to find his roots, recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, at first the people of the Fan family disagreed, and later reluctantly agreed. Uncle Fan paused here and took a sip of water.
Wei Xiaodong was listening carefully, Fan Qingxia and her mother were also listening, and everyone didn't speak.
Fan Zhongyan vowed to revive the Fan family, so he told his mother, I am going to study now, and in the future, I will take the examination to make a name for the people of the world and do something, he asked his mother to wait for him for ten years, and pick up his mother after ten years. He took the book to a very dilapidated academy and studied hard there. Xiaodong, you see that Fan Zhongyan only started studying hard in his twenties, so you can't give up when you're still young!" Uncle Fan said.
"I know, Uncle Fan, you can continue to talk about it!" Wei Xiaodong asked.
When Fan Zhongyan was studying, in order to save time, he didn't take off his clothes when he slept, and he ate very simply. He made a pot of porridge at night, and in the winter it was cold and frozen, so he cut it open and ate one piece at a time, with pickles. Once, a classmate saw that he was living a hard life, so he gave him some meat, and after a few days he went to Fan Zhongyan again, and found that Fan Zhongyan didn't eat a bite, his classmate asked him why he didn't eat it, Fan Zhongyan said, if you eat your meat, I won't be able to eat my food in the future. Although Fan Zhongyan's life is hard, he has great ambitions. Uncle Fan paused for a moment and took a sip of tea.
Wei Xiaodong listened very carefully, he was attracted by Fan Zhongyan's story.
"Let me tell you another interesting story about Fan Zhongyan's study! Once, Fan Zhongyan went out to play with his classmates and saw a fortune teller, and everyone gathered around him to tell his fortune. Uncle Fan said.
When he heard this, Wei Xiaodong became more serious. As long as it is about fortune tellers, Wei Xiaodong is really interested.
"When it was Fan Zhongyan's turn, Fan Zhongyan said, my ambition is not to be a good look, but to be a good doctor. Sir, show me, the fortune teller told him, "Why do you have such ambitions?" You also know that you can't make money as a doctor now! Fan Zhongyan said that whether you are a prime minister or a doctor, you are doing things for the common people! The fortune teller was greatly moved! So he gave Fan Zhongyan a good calculation. Uncle Fan paused for a moment.
"Uncle Fan, tell me quickly! I can't wait. Wei Xiaodong said.
The fortune teller said that Fan Zhongyan would be a good man, but he would not have the opportunity to be a good doctor. Fan Zhongyan's other classmates all laughed, and they all thought that this fortune teller was too good at saying good things. Later, Fan Zhongyan was a high school jinshi and slowly became the prime minister. It can be seen that the fortune teller is quite accurate. Uncle Fan said.
When Wei Xiaodong heard this, he said in his heart, it turned out that there were already masters at that time.
Later, after Fan Zhongyan became an official, because he had income at this time, he took his mother over to support him. It had only been eight years since he had told his mother. Uncle Fan is optimistic about you, you are young, and you are also very smart. Whatever you do in the future, you can do it well. At this time, Uncle Fan glanced at his daughter. His daughter was embroidering at this time and didn't notice it.
"Uncle Fan, is there anything else?" asked Wei Xiaodong.
"By the way, Fan Zhongyan is a person who is both civil and military. You know the articles he wrote, but he has been a general, and he also knows people well, Di Qing, the general of Mian Ni, was discovered and cultivated by Fan Zhongyan, and he taught Di Qing to read. Uncle Fan said.
"Uncle Fan, how do you know this in such detail!" Wei Xiaodong asked.
"I also just read a book about Fan Zhongyan. Uncle Fan said.
"Fan Zhongyan is dedicated to the country, and he really has achieved the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world. He bought 1,000 acres of fertile land in his hometown as a righteous field to help other Fan clan people and set up a righteous school. I've done a lot for my family. Uncle Fan said again.
After hearing this, Wei Xiaodong was deeply encouraged. It is said that the power of example is endless. So many good examples. The power is endless.
"Okay, Xiaodong, I'll go rest for a while, you and Qingxia have a good talk, you are all young people. After saying that, Uncle Fan and Aunt Fan are gone.
Fan Qingxia was still embroidering flowers and did not speak. Wei Xiaodong didn't know what to say. "Your ancestors are really powerful! I don't even know what my ancestors did. ”
"What's the use of having a strong ancestor? The key is to be strong yourself! If you are not powerful, it's useless to say anything. Fan Qingxia said.
"yes, you have to be good. You're about to start school!" Wei Xiaodong asked.
"Soon, I'll be leaving in a few days, what about you?" asked Fan Qingxia.
"I'll be gone in a moment. We are all children of peasants, your conditions are better than mine, you can study. I have to earn money to support my family first, but I will definitely read the book, and I will not give up. Wei Xiaodong said.
"Don't you understand what my dad meant?" said Fan Qingxia with her head down.
"I understand, but I don't know what my own future will look like, and I don't want anything else until I do it well. To be honest, it's useless to think about it. Wei Xiaodong said.
"What kind of life do you want to live in the future?" asked Fan Qingxia.
"I want to live a life where I can read books every day and then I can help my friends and relatives. Wei Xiaodong said.
"Your idea is a bit contradictory! You must be materialistic in helping others!" Fan Qingxia said.
"Yes, so, I have to earn money to support my family first, and I have to make a lot of money. Wei Xiaodong said.
Wei Xiaodong's confidence in saying this lies in the fact that he has a Xuan Lingdian and the physiognomy given to him by Wei Xiaodong's father. However, the most important thing is Wei Xiaodong's struggle and persistence.
"Then good luck to you!" Fan Qingxia got up and left.
Wei Xiaodong knew that he would definitely make the family unhappy when he said this, but this was his true thoughts and the actual situation.
After waiting for a while, Uncle Fan came out.
"Uncle Fan, I'm leaving, thank you for your hospitality. Wei Xiaodong said.
"Okay, Xiaodong, I will have a chance to come to our house and sit more in the future. The door of Uncle Fan's house is always open for you. Uncle Fan said.
Uncle Fan sent Wei Xiaodong to the entrance of the village and gave him directions. Wei Xiaodong said goodbye to Uncle Fan and continued to move forward.
This place really made Wei Xiaodong feel kind. So, this night, Wei Xiaodong wanted to spend this night in the mountains here, because he carried a tent with him. If you don't use it a few times, it is estimated that there will not be many opportunities to use it in the future. Because it's time to work.
If there is no such mountain in the future, how can we cultivate? Wei Xiaodong thought about it for a long time, but felt that he would talk about it when he got to the place, because he didn't see the actual situation there now! It was useless to think about it.
I stayed at Uncle Fan's house for a really long time just now, and to be honest, Wei Xiaodong likes to stay at Uncle Fan's house, and he feels very kind. In the future, as long as I have time, I will come to visit Uncle Fan and them.
Wei Xiaodong arrived at the bottom of a hill at this time, and it was almost five or six o'clock in the afternoon. Wei Xiaodong thought, let's find a good place to rest first, so he went up the mountain. This mountain is really not that high, and Wei Xiaodong feels that there is no need to perform his footwork and that magical land flying technique. Because he was afraid that once he cast it, this mountain would probably pass over at once.
After arriving at the mountain, Wei Xiaodong saw a flat land, and it was all stones, Wei Xiaodong looked at the direction, and felt that this place was really good, so he began to set up a tent here.
Soon the tent was set up. Looking at this small space, Wei Xiaodong was very satisfied. He said to himself, "What's going on?" now I'm going to enjoy my life.
You can't waste any time you can use. Because Wei Xiaodong has too much to do. Thinking that Fan Zhongyan didn't have time to be a good doctor, he said to himself that Wei Xiaodong had no chance to be a big official, but he had the opportunity to be a good doctor.
Thinking of this, Jue's thing is really too coincidental! While the sky is still bright, Wei Xiaodong looks like the Xuanling Classic.
He remembered one thing, after breaking through the second layer of the Xuanling Exercise last time, there were a lot of rewards in the Jishi Chapter, and at that time, Wei Xiaodong only watched a land flying technique, and didn't look at anything else. There was no use for it at the time. He wants to take a good look now, what is the use.
Approaching his destination, Wei Xiaodong's original experience was that these skills and ancient recipes were very useful. He turned to the chapter of Jishi.
