Chapter 167: The Journey

Although Chu Zhao's personality is relatively straightforward, he is not as active as Han Chun, but he intuitively feels that he can't go at the moment, and he doesn't want to go. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Xiaohan is so beautiful today, he hasn't seen it yet. It's a glance to be able to take one more look. Besides, leave Han Guining, a person with a ghost in his heart, alone...... In front of him, the big bad wolf grabbed the little rabbit and smiled, and his body couldn't help shaking. Therefore, he shook his head and refused: "Ben Xia is a little unhappy in his heart today, and he doesn't want to talk about martial arts." ā€

"I'm so chic, even refusing people is so chic and stylish, I deserve to be Chu Daxia." A voice flew over with excitement and envy, this is the Xiao Han, who is looking at Chu Zhao who has instantly risen a lot in his mind with fiery eyes at this moment.

"Damn, this man is so uninteresting, does he want to be a light bulb?" This is because he can't complete the task, and he is afraid that his master will be unhappy, and Han Chun, a loyal servant who is full of resentment.

"Hmph, do you think I can't do anything about you?" This is Han Guining, who does not admit defeat and "has a ghost in his heart".

The room suddenly fell silent, there was a little smell of gunpowder in the air, and the atmosphere was a little weird.

Lixia hurriedly came out to play a round game: "Recently, I have been learning martial arts with my master with the spring equinox, why don't we go up the mountain to practice together, and Brother Han Gongzi and Brother Han Chun also give us pointers." ā€

That's okay, since everyone went up the mountain to practice martial arts together, Xiao Han probably won't go, she has to stay at home with her mother. Chu Zhao agreed.

Let's go out together, and then find a way to sneak back to find Xiaohan later. Han Guining thought so in his heart, so he had no objection.

He Mu and Chu Zhao had the same thoughts, and at the same time wanted to see how the good brothers' martial arts were progressing, he had always been very envious of their ability to learn martial arts, so he strongly agreed.

Xiao Han often watched the brothers practice martial arts, so he was not interested in it. She was interested in Han Guining...... The experience of this time. Because, she hasn't been far away since she came to this world, and I don't know what the rest of this world is like, and whether there are similarities with the Ming Dynasty in history. Therefore, she stood up and said, "I'll go too, wait for me, I'll go and change my clothes first." ā€

What, you're going too? Several voices rang out at the same time, some surprised, some delighted, some annoyed.

When the Lin family was eating, He Mu, who had already eaten, did not leave, but also sat at the table, which made Xiao Han a little surprised.

He Mu didn't look at her this time, but joked with Chun from time to time, and looked at Lin Jincai with adoring eyes, praising him for his smart brain and never being literate, but he could learn it as soon as he learned it.

Lin Jincai was praised and happy, his self-confidence was unprecedentedly high, and he was not so afraid of learning.

The corners of Xiao Han's mouth twitched: Is this the route to save the country by taking a curve?

After eating, Xiao Han told everyone the story of "Sun Monkey made trouble in the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea, harvested the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick, and went to the underworld to tamper with the life and death book" in "Journey to the West".

A pair of eyes stared at him tightly, especially He Mu, his eyes were dark and bright, Xiao Han coughed: "That's all for the story, if you want to know what will happen next, please listen to the next breakdown." ā€

Everyone was still unsatisfied, and Chen exclaimed: "It's really better than storytelling, Xiaohan, you are so smart." ā€

Xiao Han blushed and quickly explained that this story was written by a person named "Wu Chengen", and he didn't make it up himself.

He Mu hurriedly opened his mouth and said: "I don't think you can make up such a wonderful story, it must be the kind of person with rich experience like Chu Daxia who can make it up." Sister Xiaohan, don't worry, we know this story ourselves, and we won't tell it to others. ā€

Xiao Han was a little surprised, and a little grateful for his cleverness, relieved himself, and quickly nodded and said that it was exactly the case.

After chatting a few words, He Mu chased after Xiao Han got up and went back to the house. When he reached the door of her room, he did not speak, but bowed his head and was silent.

Xiao Han waited for a while, a little uncomfortable, and asked, "What do you want to say?" ā€

He Mu clenched his fists and raised his head, his expression was firm and his eyes were shining.

"Sister Xiaohan, please give me a little time, give me a chance, let me work hard, I can catch up with him, catch up with you."

The tone was pleading, and there was a little trembling. Xiao Han's heart softened, she understood this young man's thoughts. She couldn't bear to refuse, she couldn't afford not to give him a chance, and he was indeed a good teenager.

After a moment of silence, she struggled to squeeze out one word: "Good!" ā€

He Mu's heart trembled for a moment, and then a feeling called ecstasy flooded his heart, and his dry heart seemed to be moistened with a little rain and dew, although it was only a little, it was enough for the seeds of love to sprout.

Looking at her back, I silently promised in my heart: If you give me a drop of rain and dew today, I will return you to the ocean tomorrow.

The second day is the third day of the Lunar New Year, and on this day, every house has to be cleaned and no relatives are allowed to go to their homes. But after today, I can go every day from now on.

Since they can't sweep the floor in the first and second years of junior high school, they are afraid of leaking money, so each family has accumulated a lot of garbage.

After Xiao Han got up, he and his family took a broom to clean up the firecracker skins, skins thrown from eating melon seeds and other garbage left over from the firecrackers in the yard a few days ago.

As for the leftover leaves from picking vegetables and the leftovers from eating, they became a meal for chickens and pigs. Farmers don't waste a little food.

After sweeping, Chen told everyone to use a broom to sweep three times in the direction of the house, which means that the wealth will not leak out, and the wealth will be returned.

Then Xiao Han followed Chen to take out the dustpan containing the garbage, to a place on the right side of the house where the garbage is often emptied, and after taking out the garbage, Chen took out three pink paper money for the sacrifice, folded them in half, put them on with incense, and then inserted the incense next to the garbage heap.

Xiao Han couldn't help blinking: Before the Chinese New Year, the rice tank, water tank, cabinets, pigsty, chicken coop, and thatched toilet at home should be pasted with red paper, which means that the New Year is new. But I didn't expect that even a place like a garbage dump would have to be filled with powder paper and incense.

Not only that, Chan also told her that when she went to the well to fetch water for the first time in the New Year, she should also insert incense paper at the well as she did just now. The same is true if you go to the river to fetch water.

Xiao Han thought, probably because people think that everything has a corresponding god in charge, the well has a well god, the river has a river god, and the one who is in charge of cleaning is also a god, if you don't sacrifice, maybe the gods will be unhappy, they will be angry, and people will suffer.

So give them some money to spend, and it is considered a bribe. It's like when you cross the city gate, if you have to stuff a few copper coins into the soldiers guarding the gate, he won't check so carefully. If you don't give money, he'll turn your stuff upside down.

The gods are the result of people deifying them according to the archetypes in real life, so the gods will also have joys, sorrows, emotions, and desires. Therefore, the gods will also accept bribes, for example, when Tang Seng went through a lot of hardships to learn scriptures in the west, but because there was no benefit to bribe the two Buddhas of Ah Ao and Jiaye, he only got a wordless scripture. It was only later that he gave them the purple gold bowl used for fasting and rice, and only then did he get the real scriptures.

This is true of Buddhas, let alone people. take money from others and eliminate disasters with others; Eat people with a soft mouth and take people with short hands.

What is the difference between heaven and earth?

Xiao Han snickered in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.

After breakfast, Xiao Han called everyone to learn addition and subtraction, and on this day, He Mu also came over early, for fear that he would miss the opportunity to learn if he was late. Although I can also listen to the retelling of the spring equinox and the beginning of summer, it is not as good as Xiaohan himself.

When Zhang saw that his son had eaten and put down the bowl, he hurriedly ran to the Lin family, so he pretended to complain: "My son was raised for nothing, he was planted in the Lin family all day long, and he spent longer time with them than me. ā€

He Mu blushed, turned around and grabbed the corner of his mother's clothes, and said with a wry smile: "Mother, if your son doesn't run over there, how can I marry your daughter-in-law back?" If you don't marry back, how can you hold your grandson? ā€

When Zhang heard this, this is the reason, don't you have to be diligent in chasing your daughter-in-law. Hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, telling him to go quickly and chase his daughter-in-law back as soon as possible.

When he arrived at Lin's house, he saw Xiao Han, but his face did not show any abnormality, but he just smiled and nodded. Xiao Han saw that he was calm, and his heart calmed down

After Xiao Han wrote out the addition and subtraction formula, he explained it first, and then let them memorize it, and asked questions one by one.

In order to increase the pressure on them and stimulate their learning potential. Xiao Han imitated the method in the school, took a wooden stick, stood there with his hands behind his back, and said solemnly that he would ask questions later, and whoever couldn't answer or answered incorrectly would have to fight his hands.

Everyone began to get nervous when they heard this, especially Lin Jincai, he had a bitter face, he was stupid, and he was not as good as a few of them in his studies, it seemed that he was going to be beaten by his daughter later, hey, now he doesn't even have the majesty of being a father.

Xiao Han snickered in his heart, but his little face was tense.

I started to ask questions from the spring equinox, and picked up some moderately difficult ones, which did not discourage him from enthusiasm and did not make him too proud. Therefore, in the end, the vernal equinox was only hit by the heart of the hand. In this way, he also pouted his little mouth high, looking like he would not admit defeat.

When I arrived at Lixia and He Mu, Xiao Han was not polite this time. These two are handsome guys, playing the handsome guys' handsome hearts, looking at their blushing faces, it should be interesting like that. She was inexplicably excited, and specially picked up some difficult ones to ask the two of them, but she didn't expect them to be right.

Xiao Han was disappointed in his heart and eyes, if he was so smart, he didn't even have a chance to entertain.

He Mu saw that she had answered correctly, but she was not happy, but pouted as if she was angry. After a little thought, I understood. When I waited for the answer, I deliberately said the wrong answer. Lixia stared at him in surprise, hell. Although the number is larger, it is impossible for him to be miscalculated, who has always been careful.

Xiao Han was happy now, happily pointed out his mistakes, and then shouted loudly for him to stretch out his hand and "snap" with the wooden stick himself.

He Mu's palms turned red, but he didn't even frown. Looking at Xiao Han's little red face that suddenly became bright, his eyes were full of pampering.

Since you like to see my embarrassment, why not show it to you.

I have to say that He Mu, this kid, has opened his mind, and he has a bit of a taste of "colorful clothes to entertain relatives". Who told our Xiao Han to have a little quirk in his heart, he likes to abuse handsome guys and appreciate their embarrassment.

Xiao Han didn't know that her quirk was detected by the clever He Mu, so after a few years, she was eaten to death by him. After finally learning the reason, I regret my move infinitely.

When it was Chen's turn and Lin Jincai's turn, Xiao Han of course had to save face for his father, so the questions were relatively simple. The two of them carefully calculated, and luckily they all answered correctly, and they didn't suffer a single hand. Lin Jincai breathed a sigh of relief - there was no need to lose this old face.

After studying like this for a morning, when it was time for lunch, He Mu couldn't be cheeky enough to eat at He's house anymore, so he consciously went back to his home.

In the afternoon, Xiaohan saw that Lixia and He Mu were learning quickly, so he asked his father and mother to slowly review addition and subtraction, and he taught a few boys multiplication and division according to their aptitude. Although the progress is a little faster, let them swallow the dates, and then digest them slowly in the future.

Before you know it, an afternoon has passed, and the learners are interested, while the teachers feel dry and tired. Seeing this, He Mu hurriedly said that he would learn here, and he couldn't remember it if he learned more, so he would learn it another day.

So everyone packed up their school supplies, and when they packed up, they were shocked, and the thick stack of paper was used up. Xiao Han is determined to make a charcoal pencil next time, so as to save ink and paper, save his own energy, and write quickly.

However, calligraphy also has to be practiced, to be honest, she is very envious of Lixia's handwriting is better than herself.

The next day is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and I want to go to my grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings, and the locals call visiting relatives for the New Year "going to the village". Probably because the ancients had fewer opportunities to go out, and most of the relatives lived in the villages, so they called "going to the village" to go to the village.

Chen had prepared the gifts he had prepared in advance: in addition to a piece of cured pork of about two catties, he also had to bring a small bag of rice crackers, some pastries for the children, and shoes and socks made for his mother's family.

Xiao Han thought that his grandmother and uncle's family were so good to his family, and he should bring them something new to taste.

A few people cut and squeezed the flour overnight, filled the flour with a bamboo basket, and the snail soup was packed in a casserole, frozen outside, let it congeale into pieces, and the next day it would not be spilled when walking.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day several people got up early in the morning, and after breakfast, in the excited chirping of the spring breeze, the whole family set off to "go to the village".

Xiao Han was also excited at first, but after walking for about an hour, her face began to bitter.

Ay! In ancient times, there was no means of transportation, and it was really tiring to walk on your feet. She thought that her family should buy a cow, which could be used for ploughing, pulling carts, and traveling. As for the carriage, it can only be used by rich families, and their families can't afford it at the moment.

I was thinking about it when suddenly a carriage came speeding up from the opposite side. The Lin family hurriedly retreated to the side of the road, and Xiao Han looked at the carriage enviously, wondering when his family would be able to have a carriage to travel.

Just thinking about it, the carriage suddenly stopped, and a middle-aged man got out of the carriage and hurriedly caught up, shouting: "Brother Lin, Miss Xiaohan, wait a minute!" ā€

Lin Jincai and the others heard the shout, and when they looked back, it turned out to be the money shopkeeper. The Lin family hurriedly stepped forward, bowed their hands, and said "Happy New Year" to each other.

"Brother Lin, where are you going?" The money shopkeeper asked with a smile.

"Don't dare, I led my wife and children to my father-in-law's house to pay New Year's greetings, where is the money shopkeeper?" Lin Jincai replied respectfully.

"It's really unfortunate, I'm on the orders of Childe, to send you a prayer post, and Childe is going to visit you tomorrow." The money shopkeeper smiled, but he was muttering in his heart, he didn't know what was going on with the son, so anxious to visit in person.

I was really sleepy and ran into a pillow, and I was about to look for him, but he was sent to the door first.

Lin Jincai, Xiao Han, and Lixia glanced at each other and said, "The prince is busy, how can he bother the prince to come in person." It's just that our family has always gone to my father-in-law's house on the fourth day of the new year to pay New Year's greetings, and only came back on the fifth day of the new year. Money shopkeeper, you see, why don't we go to visit Han Gongzi on the sixth day of the new year? ā€

The money shopkeeper listened, pondered for a while, and thought of the son's instructions before coming, so he said: "In this way, I will make a decision for the son, and the son will come to your house to pay New Year's greetings on the morning of the sixth day of the new year." You're welcome, Gongzi said, Yu Gong, we are a cooperative relationship; Yu private, he is a junior, you are an elder, and he should come to you in person to pay New Year's greetings. ā€

Lin Jincai listened, looked at Xiao Han, and saw that she nodded slightly, so he took the post and responded.

So the money keeper let them get into the carriage and said that he would send them there. Lin Jincai saw that the carriage was not big and could not sit so many people, so he politely declined. Xiao Han wanted to take the carriage, but he was too embarrassed to speak, and watched the money shopkeeper get into the carriage and waved away. I had to cheer up and continue on my way.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, the spring equinox couldn't help but say: "I think Han Gongzi is really a good person, he doesn't have a frame at all, he doesn't look down on people, and he came to visit in person." ā€

"And I also sent a letter of worship, indicating that we are treated as equals." Rixia continued.

Lin Jincai and Chen glanced at each other, a little happy and a little worried in their hearts. They had guessed in their hearts before that Han Gongzi had taken a fancy to his daughter, and now it seems that this is really the case. If this happens, the daughter will be blessed in the future. But thinking of the difference in status between the two, they felt uneasy in their hearts.

Xiao Han saw their happy and sad expressions, and thought about it for a while, what else did he not understand. She said solemnly: "Father, mother, the most important thing for us at the moment is to make money, build a house, improve the current living situation, let my brother and younger brother study, and gain fame in the future, this is the most important thing." It is better to rely on oneself than to rely on others by relying on heaven and earth, and self-improvement is the most important thing. ā€

When Lixia heard this, he felt awe-inspiring in his heart, and nodded vigorously: "Sister, don't worry." I and the spring equinox will work hard, and in the future, our brothers will be your dependence. ā€

The spring equinox also patted his chest and said: "Sister, you wait, I will be admitted to the champion, you are the champion sister, no one dares to bully you." ā€

Since that day he said that he wanted to marry his sister as the champion wife, Lixia explained to him carefully, and he knew that he was making a joke, and this time he quickly changed his words.

Everyone listened to the old words of the vernal equinox and laughed again.

In order to make himself forget the fatigue of the journey, Xiao Han told them the story of "Journey to the West" on the way.

If you have something to say, you don't realize that the road is long, and after two episodes, grandma's house will arrive. (To be continued.) )
