168
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Jia Hu came to ask Jia's mother to say goodbye, because he made an appointment with Han Qi and planned to go to Biansai with him. But I don't know when I will be able to return home, so if I ask my parents to deal with this, I am afraid that I can't. But I really yearn for it, and I am Hanqi's companion, so I have to go with it, even if I come back and be punished!
In addition, I read more books nowadays, and I always feel that I can't go to the scenery recorded in the books, and I always have regrets. Besides, this paper is shallow, and I am used to being rich and rich, and I don't have to worry about food and clothing. But one day, Hanqi and himself slipped out of the city, but they saw a different scenery. That year, due to the drought, some villages around the capital were hit by disasters, and the strong ones came out to do a short job, and the old and weak women and children lived by begging for food.
When the two saw that they couldn't bear it, they distributed all the money on their bodies to the victims. I was also curious, so I found some people with good faces and clear words to ask what happened. After the disaster, did the imperial court not provide disaster relief? Can you have enough to eat on this day? Why don't you go to relatives and friends? Or borrow some money to get by?
Those who answered said that if begging for food could fill their stomachs, who would still work hard? Such a small calamity would not be done in the imperial court, it was nothing more than opening a porridge shop for two days to give porridge. The hard work of the year came to naught. If you can't pay the rent, where will the head of the village rent the land to you. Borrowing money? If you are a rich man, someone can borrow it. Who do we wait for such a poor and lowly person to borrow from? Even if the head of the village is kind and willing to give some money and grain, this thing will have to be repaid in the next year, and if there is no disaster, it will be able to barely repay it in the next year with a two-cent interest. But how can there be only two cents of profit in the year of calamity, at least five cents? In this way, even if the next year is a good year, you will have to sell your children and daughters to pay it off. We people are afraid that we can't even enter the city gate now, and the officials and lords are all rich and noble, and seeing us is like seeing dust.
Jia Hu and Han Qi both listened silently. This will be the case just when there is a disaster on the edge of the capital, and if it is thousands of miles away, I don't know what it will be like if there is a catastrophe. The victims also said that this year is only a small disaster, and if they can survive this green and yellow days, there will be hope for the coming year. Now it's still too peaceful, thinking that when the victims of the northwest fled to the capital a few years ago, they didn't say that they could get food, and even the bark along the road was almost gnawed clean.
When the two heard this, they didn't have the slightest intention of playing, and hurried back to the house. From that day on, the two of them knew that the book said, "A porridge and a meal are not easy to come by; Originally, the two of them only thought about how glorious it would be if one day they could be crowned marquis and worship the prime minister, and the family was fortunate, but after today, they felt that the health of the people who came to the town was the merit. The two have the same mind, regard each other as confidants, and their relationship is deeper than before. The two of them forge ahead together, and their knowledge has also improved a lot, even Peng Luo is a little surprised by the progress of the two, and praises their articles for having deep meaning, although there is talent in the previous article, but in the end it is still immature, although it cannot be said to be old-fashioned, but the pattern is much larger.
Therefore, Jia Hu has been waiting for a long time today to ask for help. I wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Jia Mu about what I saw and thought. Up and down this Jia Mansion, Jia Hu's most respectful and convincing person is Jia Mu. First, Jia's mother did not rely on the old and sell the old, no matter how old or young, if there was something to ask, Jia's mother would know everything and tell everything. If you don't know, you will also help him think of a way. If you can get Jia's mother's permission to travel by yourself, it will be much easier. If Jia Mu shouldn't either, then she can only come to the first cut and then play.
But after a lot of calculations, he finally waited until he had dinner with Jia's mother, why did the old man come with him? How to implement the plan that he had carefully pondered? Jia Hu was really worried.
Because there were too many people, Shi Fei'er ordered the kitchen to add a few dishes that the two men liked, and ordered someone to open a small table in the wing room, and arranged for Yuan Chun to lead Yingchun there.
"Sure enough, it was right to come to the old lady. Today there is another blessing. Jia Yu had a smile on his face.
"Today you are stained with Hu'er's light. Shi Fei'er smiled: "If it weren't for Hu'er, I wouldn't have added these dishes to you alone." ”
Hearing this, Jia Yu pretended to straighten his face and frowned, and said, "I have been stained with the light of your little monkey cub today, is it possible that you are still waiting for me to thank you?"
"Father joked, naturally Hu'er came to touch the old lady and father's light. The old lady made more arrangements for Hu'er's gluttony. These dishes are still authentic and delicious. ”
"Now I don't know how I look at my knowledge, but I am good at shooting horses. Jia Yu said with a smile, "A table of delicious food can't stop your mouth." Eat more today, don't want to eat later but can't. Jia Hu was stunned when he heard this, and a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes.
"Don't be in a hurry, you two will break slowly, I won't wait for you. I don't know why today's meal is more fragrant than usual. With that, Shi Fei'er picked up the chopsticks. The food is still trying to amuse the boring child, and it seems that he is still not hungry.
Shi Fei'er was happy to chat with Jia Yu about eating, only Jia Hu had something in his heart, but he couldn't say it in front of Jia Yu, so he had to bury his head in eating. I hope that my father will have something to do for a while, and I will tell Jia's mother again. After a while, when the meal was finished, everyone washed their hands, drank tea, and gossiped a few more words.
At this time, Shi Fei'er was even more puzzled, today Jia Hu is abnormal, how can Jia Yu be the same. In the past, Jia Yu either had something to sue, or simply had a meal and chatted and left, why are the two of them spending time on their own today?
Shi Fei'er moved for a moment and said, "Why did you come to me today as a clay sculpture bodhisattva?"
"Wait for the offering without saying a word? I'm tired, so I'm not going to spend it with you. With that, he got up and pretended to leave.
Hearing what Jia Mu said, Jia Hu was naturally anxious, and he was waiting for Jia Yu to leave, so that he could speak, but now that he didn't speak, Jia Mu was leaving, how could this be good.
Jia Hu hesitated for a moment and said, "Old lady, you go slowly, your grandson has something to talk about?"
Shi Fei'er felt that his heart fell to the ground when he heard this, and he already felt that Jia Hu was a little abnormal today, and it was better for him to say it himself than to ask it himself. Besides, I didn't want to leave. However, Jia Hu has always been sensible and well-behaved, and he doesn't know what will happen today, so he sat down and said, "Since Hu'er speaks, I won't leave." You take your time. ”
Jia Hu saw that Jia's mother sat down, and then looked at Jia Yu, who was still sitting firmly on the side, but had no intention of leaving, and was a little difficult. Jia Yu looked at it in his eyes and said: "You have something to talk to the old lady, is it difficult for me to avoid it? What is there that the old lady can listen to but I can't? I'm a little strange." ”
When Jia Hu heard Jia Yu say this, he was even more cramped, and he knelt in front of Jia's mother with a "poof" after a half-silence. Shi Fei'er saw it and said, "I have already knocked it yesterday, and I don't need to make a big gift today." If you have something to say, you don't have to worry about anything else. ”
Jia Hu said: "Grandson Jia Hu is not filial, and he will leave the old lady today." ”
Shi Fei'er was stunned when she heard this: "Why are you quitting? Hu'er, where are you going?" This made Shi Feier even more confused. Could it be that the two of them discussed it today?
Originally, after Jia Hu said this, he didn't dare to raise his head, for fear of being scolded by Jia Yu, who would have thought that his father would not even say a word when he heard it. Jia Hu raised his head slightly, glanced at Jia Yu on the side, and saw that he was also looking at himself, and hurriedly looked away.
"By the way, how many days are you going?" asked Sfeier.
Jia Hu came back to his senses and replied, "I'm afraid it's been a long time. ”
"It's been a long time, and there's always a time limit. Shi Fei'er paused and said, "Is it three days and five days, or three years and five years?"
This span is too big, Jia Hu secretly complained, hesitated for a moment, and said: "If you don't say it, it should be three or five months, if it is a long time, maybe there will be one or two years." ”
Shi Fei'er was not as shocked as before at this time, and glanced at Jia Yu on the side and said: "If I answer this matter, it will be useless, and it happens that your father is also here today, so there is no need to resign twice." ”
Jia Yu saw Shi Fei'er turn the conversation around, he was stunned at first, touched his beard with his hand and said, "The old lady said well." Hu'er, you should explain the ins and outs of this matter in detail, and then mention this resignation. The old lady asked you where you were going, but you didn't say. Parents are here, don't travel far, you must have a way to travel! Do you remember the sage's precepts?"
Jia Hu stubbornly said, "I want to go to Biansai to have a look." ”
"Biansai, who are you going to see?" Jia Yu said with a smile: "The capital is thousands of miles away from Saiwai. It doesn't matter if we allow it or not. Just how do you get there? Prepare geometry?"
When Jia Hu heard Jia Yu say this, he knew that he was afraid that this matter would be yellow. I couldn't help but be a little discouraged but replied truthfully: "I didn't go to see anyone, first, I admired the beautiful scenery outside the Saisai, and I still didn't feel that I could enjoy it in books or poems, and secondly, the teacher always said that the article pattern was small, because of the limited vision, so I also wanted to increase some knowledge." Although the road is thousands of miles away, it should not be too difficult to achieve perseverance. ”
"To increase knowledge, you have to go thousands of miles away? Jia Yu retorted.
"The master is right, but the world is so big, if you can see one or two of them, it is a blessing for my generation. ”
"Are you going alone, or are you going with someone else?"
Jia Hu was dumbfounded at this time, he naturally went with Han Qi, but I don't know if Han Qi has persuaded the prince to be loyal now? If he hasn't succeeded, wouldn't he hurt him by confessing it?
Jia Hu bit his lip and said nothing. Jia Yu sneered and said: "In this case, how should I respond to you? I don't know where to go? I don't know how many people I am traveling with? The return date is undecided, there are no preparations, and you can go thousands of miles away just by talking about it? I haven't asked you how you can go? How can you grow? I'm afraid that if you ask, you won't be able to answer why!"
Jia Hu also felt a little ashamed when he heard this. This matter is just a wish in my heart, and the purpose seems insignificant in the face of this wish.
Jia Yu took out two letters from his sleeve, threw them at Jia Hu and said, "You take a closer look." ”
