Chapter 61: The Li Family Compound

Li Zaitian sat at the table of the Eight Immortals, drank tea with Wang Buzhi for a while, talked and laughed, the sun was setting, and it was already evening. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Li Feiyang's parents and several grandparents returned home at this time.

Seeing Li Feiyang go home and seeing Wang Zhizhi was very happy.

In the farm yard, there are many vegetables, and now it is summer, which is the season with the most vegetables, cucumbers, eggplants, tomatoes, loofahs, beans, leeks, lentils, and so on.

Li Feiyang's father, Li Kaishan, drove a tractor to pick a large basket in the vegetable field and moved it to the kitchen. In the kitchen, Li Feiyang's mother and several of Li Feiyang's grandmothers were busy.

Several women in the family have good cooking skills, and Li Feiyang's cooking skills were learned from them. It's just that Li Feiyang is the only male in the family, when he was a child, he cooked, and the family only thought that he was playful, he wanted to learn to cook, and the women in the family taught him, but seeing that he was old, he was not allowed to enter the kitchen.

The men of the Li family are not allowed to enter the kitchen. The so-called gentleman cooks far away, this is the family rule of the Li family, and the family naturally has to abide by it. Yes, after Li Feiyang was fifteen years old, he never entered the kitchen again.

When there are more people in the kitchen, the greater the power and the faster the speed will be.

There is not much time, a table full of meals, and it is ready.

Wang didn't know how to smell the aroma of the food, and said with a smile to Li Feiyang's grandfathers who were sitting next to him: "A few old brothers and sisters-in-law's cooking skills are comparable to national chefs, you are so happy!" ”

Li Zaitian said with a smile: "It's all some home-cooked dishes, Mr. Wang, you don't dislike the simple!" ”

Wang Buzhi held the wine cup in his hand and said with a smile: "A hundred years of Moutai, a hundred years of celadon wine cups, plus these meals comparable to those made by the national chef, if this is simple, then there is nothing in the world that is not simple." ”

Everyone laughed: "Teacher Wang is too polite, please please, eat while it's hot, the wine is already hot, move the chopsticks!" ”

。。。。。。

Full of wine and food, it was already dark.

Wang didn't know that he wanted to return to Tangcheng by car, and the Li family tried their best to keep him, but under the hospitality, Wang didn't know that he lived in the Li family's mansion.

In the Li family's compound, there are many houses, so I found a spacious house in Xiangyang, cleaned it, and arranged for Wang Zhizhi to live in.

Wang didn't know that since he entered the Li family compound, he sighed again and again, he was in Kyoto, and he had seen several courtyards of the palace that could be compared with the Li family compound, and he said to Li Feiyang, who sent water: "The wealth and glory of your ancestors, you can know one or two from this mansion, I don't know what the official residence of your ancestors is, so that you can have this high-gate compound?"

It turned out that the feudal dynasty also paid attention to building houses, and if the official position did not reach a certain level, it could not build buildings that exceeded the regulations, otherwise it would be Yu Li, and he would be punished by the government. Although this kind of thing, the magistrates generally turn a blind eye and do not want to offend the local forces for no reason, but the family who dared to build such a large courtyard with the financial resources and confidence must have been an official eunuch at that time.

Li Feiyang said with a smile: "The ancestor was not a high-ranking official in the previous dynasty, but a son of the Ming Dynasty, and after he entered the office, he was a second-grade official, or a second-rank official, and he was not a high-ranking official."

Wang Buzhi said: "It's not small, this is already a big party in the place at that time!"

Li Feiyang said with a smile: "Our family is nothing, in fact, in Tangcheng, our school was rebuilt from the residence of an official in the Ming Dynasty, covering an area of 100 acres, carved beams and painted buildings, that is called magnificent!"

Wang Buzhi was shocked: "I said, how can there be a clear stone archway outside the gate of your school, and there are gilded giant lions on the left and right, which were originally renovated from the houses of large families?"

Li Feiyang nodded and said: "Yes, that family's mansion is the old residence of an imperial envoy of the left capital in the Ming Dynasty, that is the real wealthy family, our Li family can't compare."

Wang Buzhi said: "Good guy, such a big mansion can't be compared to the capital!"

Seeing the two copper basins in Li Feiyang's hand, Wang didn't know how to ask: "Feiyang, what are you doing with a basin?"

Li Feiyang said with a smile: "This is a footbath, just give you hot water, I can't help but give you a basin!"

Wang Buzhi said, "Copper basin? Oops, haven't used it in years! He is also from a family, so he naturally knows the food, clothing, and living utensils of the rich and noble.

Li Feiyang put down the basin and said, "The carved basin on the side is a basin, and the one without flowers is a foot basin, Mr. Wang, don't be mistaken."

Wang Buzhi smiled: "I am more familiar with these things than you, and I also used these things when I was a child." Just, how can you still save these things? At that time, after the liberation, all the things and utensils in my house were robbed by the children of nearby peasant families, and there was not even an iron pot left! How come you still have it at home, and it's still so well preserved? ”

Li Feiyang said: "I don't know very well, it seems that in our village, my family divided the land equally among tenants and long-term workers in advance, and then the movement began, and the villagers were a little grateful, so they didn't touch my things." I don't know much about what happened. ”

Wang Buzhi praised: "Judging the situation, your family is all understanding people!"

Li Feiyang smiled silently, turned around and went out, and his voice came back to the house from outside: "Teacher Wang, it's not early, rest early, I won't disturb you!"

Wang didn't know how to look at the carved tooth bed, the gauze tent separated by copper hooks on the bed, the mahogany desk next to the bed, the bronze gluttonous smoker on the table, the incense was lit inside, and the carved copper basin under his feet reflected the light, which was really ancient and extravagant!

The king tossed and turned, and could not sleep.

He is from everyone's background, and his knowledge is not extensive, but when he saw the daily use of the Li family today, he was still inevitably surprised for a while. After a long time, he fell asleep.

The next day, after Wang didn't know how to get up, after breakfast, he said to Li Feiyang's grandfathers: "A few old brothers, if you have nothing to do at home, simply follow me back to the capital, with the knowledge of several of you, it is definitely more than enough to be a professor of Chinese in a university, as long as you are willing to do so, I will apply to the above and hire a few old brothers to be visiting professors of the Department of Chinese at Kyoto University." ”

Li Zaitian shook his head and said: "I'm used to being peaceful at home, and I don't want to go out anymore." ”

Wang said with regret: "It's a pity! I have benefited a lot from the understanding of the Book of Changes and the unique views of the Four Books and the Five Classics, and if I can talk about it in the literature department of the university, it will be very beneficial for the students' understanding of ancient books. ”

Seeing that Li Feiyang's grandfathers had no intention of going out of the mountain to teach apprentices, Wang didn't know that it was useless to force it, so he shook his head and said, "Wild Pearl!" ”

Hearing Wang Buyi say this, Li Zaitian and several old brothers smiled silently. However, the attitude of not wanting to go out and show ugliness is very firm.

Wang didn't know how helpless, and said to Li Feiyang: "Feiyang, you grandfathers, they are all great talents!" Their attainments in ancient texts are far better than the masters of Chinese studies touted now, compared with your grandfathers, what masters of Chinese studies are not worthy of their shoes! If they don't retain their knowledge, it will be a loss of national culture. ”

Li Feiyang smiled: "Teacher Wang, why are you confused? I'm the grandson of my grandfathers, didn't they teach me ancient Chinese? The contents of their stomachs have all been taught to me now, rest assured, the inheritance of my Li family's ancient literature will not be broken. ”

Wang Zhifu said, "I forgot this! Feiyang, after decades of war and turmoil, and after more than ten years of cultural movements, our traditional culture has been greatly impacted, and there is no one in the relevant books on the understanding and analysis of many ancient texts and scriptures, which makes us encounter great difficulties in studying ancient texts now. Moreover, the cultural inheritance of each place is different, and the understanding of the scriptures is not the same, and if you don't collect the knowledge inheritance of the older generation, in a few decades, it is estimated that the children will not be able to understand the subset of the scriptures and history left by the ancestors. ”

Li Feiyang said: "Cultural inheritance has its own rules. Wasn't the pre-Qin culture destroyed by the First Emperor? This does not prevent our culture from being passed on. ”

Wang Buzhi said solemnly: "Feiyang, you are still young, and you don't know the importance of cultural inheritance. In that year, Confucius sharpened the Spring and Autumn Period, which was a destruction of the original ecological ancient texts, and later the first emperor burned books and pit Confucianism, which made the ancient books of the pre-Qin Dynasty not exist in the world. Later, the two Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms, the North and the South and the Jin Dynasty, every time the dynasty changed, it was a catastrophe to traditional culture. and then Zhu Xi in the Song Dynasty, tampering with ancient books and interpreting Confucian scriptures, can be described as a generation of literary thieves, and pseudo-Confucianism through the ages! Hundreds of years of harm to my Han people, making my people grovel, cowardly and weak, without fighting spirit, the scholars have become 'nerds', 'cynics' still have a legacy of poison, it is really a scourge through the ages, and the poison is endless! ”

The more Wang didn't know how to speak, the more excited he became: "If I, the people of Yan and Huang, still have the blood of the ancestors of the Spring and Autumn Period, and have the primitive thoughts of the sages and sages, where would there be so many years of war and humiliation in my Han Kingdom?" ”

Li Feiyang said in his heart: "The Spring and Autumn Period was originally the most chaotic dynasty, the people were struggling to make a living, and the people were displaced, where can I say the last 'good' word?" Mr. Wang admired the ancients and sages too much, and his remarks were a bit extreme. ”
