Chapter 405: Gathering
Chapter 405 Gathering
This night, the hibiscus tent is warm, and the spring night is short.
Starting the next day, Qi Lu stayed in the study almost day and night, and all the things in the entire Qi Mansion and even the trivial things in Yecheng were thrown to Xie Ke. Fortunately, Zhou Ziqiu is a powerful person, not only will Yecheng be governed decently, but what the Qi Mansion lacks can be done quickly. As they got acquainted for a long time, Xie Ke really looked at this Zhou County Commander differently. This person may have recently been supported by Qi Lu, and his previous cowardice and prudence have been greatly changed, and although he can't be called bold in doing things, he has a clear eye. And the little son of the Zhou family is also very motivated in his studies.
At a young age, he has already become an export.
Qi Lu was busy with his doppelganger and lacked skills, and the responsibility of teaching the little son of the Zhou family fell on Xie Ke.
After getting up in the morning and freshening up for breakfast, the nurse carried Mingyue into the upper room, and then the little son of the Zhou family came in with a textbook. Saluted to Xie Ke in a dignified manner...... Then Mingyue arched back and forth on the soft couch, that is, she wanted to get into Xie Ke's arms, let her mother kiss Xiangxiang to hug her, and wanted to find her little brother Jun, because Brother Jun treated her well, and occasionally brought some snacks from Yecheng to honor the little girl.
Although the little girl is delicate, it is rare to follow the local customs in this aspect of eating, but whenever Zhou Jun brought her, she ate it like a small mouth and smeared with oil. The fragrance made the nurse who was watching her from the side amazed. When did this young lady in our family become so approachable.
In the past, the delicious food and drink were stingy when they were delivered to their mouths.
Why did the master of the Zhou family bring it, and the food was so fragrant.
The nurse can also see it. in this house. It's not as fragrant as the outside, just like the saying 'domestic flowers are not as fragrant as wild flowers'. The nurse is illiterate, only occasionally heard someone mention such a mouthful, and felt that this was quite reasonable, and from time to time took it out in her heart.
Xie Ke finally took his daughter into his arms, teasing her with embroidery thread, and asked Zhou Jun to open the book.
What he said was nothing more than the teachings of some saints, and these Xie Ke could be said to be unspeakable. The class is very fast. However, the kung fu of a pillar of incense has finished what should be said today, Zhou Jun bowed his head and recited silently, and soon memorized it...... Zhou Jun is compared to his father Zhou Ziqiu. Appear smart and smart. Although it is not unforgettable. But I learned things. It's really fast, and you can draw inferences.
Xie Ke also thought that when Qi Lu taught this child on weekdays, Zhou Jun was the same.
Not really......
In front of Qi Lu. Zhou Jun was always a little afraid, he knew that Second Master Qi treated him gently, and looking at the entire Yecheng, he was the only one who could get Second Master Qi's personal inheritance.
But Qi Lu's famous name is really too prosperous.
Under this reputation, Zhou Jun naturally felt that he lacked confidence. I was afraid that I would ask too many questions and be disgusted by Second Master Qi.
So when Qi Lu gave a lecture to Zhou Jun in the past, Zhou Jun listened to it with a blank look and never asked questions. But Xie Ke is different...... Mrs. Xie is naturally more patient than Second Master Qi, and Xie Ke really knows everything about Zhou Jun, and many truths cannot be learned from books. It all depends on the word of mouth of the husband, Qi Lu has a good background, and his temperament is inevitably a little arrogant, so many things, Qi Lu never thinks about it much, and usually acts as he wants.
But Zhou Jun has no such background. When he does things, he must take the overall situation into account.
At this point, Xie Ke felt deeply.
She is neither high nor low, but compared with the Qi Lu Hairpin family, she is far away.
She naturally can't ignore it like Qi Lu...... This is exactly what Zhou Jun wants, so Zhou Jun likes to come to Xie Ke here, and he likes the truths that Xie Ke talked about after class. And if Zhou Jun has any questions, you can ask them casually, Xie Ke has always known everything, and he has said everything.
“…… Young lady, is the change of dynasty right or wrong? We are the people of Great Wei, if the emperor's throne is replaced, should we surrender, or should we rise up to resist? Today, Zhou Jun asked a tricky question.
Xie Ke blinked and met the young man's puzzled eyes.
Then I couldn't help but shake my head and laugh, this child, although he was a little wiser, was still a ten-year-old milk doll.
Ordinary people, ten-year-old children, only know how to run crazy and make trouble, and this week they have already cared about the major affairs of the country. She also thought that Zhou Jun had no intention of asking this question, but looking at the young man's clear eyes, Xie Ke knew that the young man was really confused.
However, this question is really straightforward, but it was not heard by Zhou Ziqiu, if Zhou County Decree heard it, he would definitely reprimand Xiao Er.
Even if you know what you know, you should not say it.
"What do you think?"
Zhou Jun shook his head. "Jun'er doesn't know." Zhou Jun is indeed puzzled by this, if the change of dynasty is wrong, this dynasty will also replace the previous dynasty. The former dynasty replaced the former dynasty. This has been the case for thousands of years, but why is it that after the monarch of this dynasty succeeds to the throne, the people of the previous dynasty are killed, and if they are right, why are they killed? If it is wrong, why is there a change of dynasty? It's always a dynasty, isn't it okay if everyone doesn't fight each other?
Zhou Jun is still young, or he is a little less knowledgeable, after all, Yecheng is a place. It's his county commander's father, but he hasn't seen anything in the world.
"There are a lot of things that can't be said right or wrong. You said that Yecheng is so poor, and the yellow sand is everywhere every day. But the capital is so rich, the rich people are well-dressed and well-fed, and they eat fragrant and spicy food, should they be? Don't you feel unfair? ”“…… I didn't think it was a bit unfair when the young lady said this. ”
"Even if it is unfair, if Yecheng wants to become rich, the people will have to endure hardships diligently. As long as you are willing to spend your efforts, Yecheng will one day be as rich as the capital. At that time, will you still feel that God is unfair? ”
Zhou Jun thought about it and shook his head.
"The same is true of the change of dynasties, the old must always be replaced by the new. Just like the poor Yecheng, one day it will become the richest place.
Jun'er, if the emperor is a Ming monarch, the people under the emperor's rule are rich, everyone has clothes to wear, and food to eat, there will be no so-called dynasty change, and no one will be idle to do the rebellion of Na Laoshizi. Only the emperor was unkind, so that the people suffered. Only then will someone rise up...... Because they can't afford to eat, and if they don't resist, they will starve to death. They can't do anything, everything, to survive. In this world, there is nothing heavier than life. "Naturally, it is very rebellious to say this, and Xie Ke is not afraid.
Because it's a fact.
Zhou Jun, this child, is given high hopes by Qi Lu and her, and he hopes that this young man will grow up to be sensible and sensible, knowing right from wrong. Talented people. Not a person who does nothing. She can't tell him every word of the truth in this world, all she can do is let him know how to distinguish between right and wrong.
Only keep in mind the norms of right and wrong.
That's it. The word responsibility. Where is it? What kind of responsibilities should there be. This is what Xie Ke wants to teach Zhou Jun.
Zhou Ziqiu is the commander of Yecheng County. Therefore, Zhou Ziqiu has to take the responsibility of keeping the people of Yecheng alive...... And the emperor is the lord of the world, so he should be responsible for the food and clothing of the people of the world. It is time to let the entire Great Wei Dynasty live in peace for a long time.
Instead of unrest and displacement.
Under such a criterion, Wei is indeed derelict in his duties.
After listening to Xie Ke's words, Zhou Jun thought for a long time...... "Young lady, Jun'er knows." As a man, he should be responsible...... It's like the second master, just like my father. Jun'er will not live up to the expectations of the young grandmother, and must be a person who knows right from wrong, argues right from wrong, and does not follow the crowd. ”
"Brother Xiaojun." Xie Ke nodded with a smile, Xie Ke was in his arms, Mingyue stretched out her arms to Zhou Jun, and called sweetly in her mouth.
Zhou Jun couldn't hide the excitement on his face, Xiao Mingyue opened his mouth to call his brother, hurriedly got up, and carefully took Mingyue from Xie Ke's arms. Then he took it in his arms. The little girl in her arms was of noble birth, but she would open her mouth to call him 'Brother Xiaojun'. Because of this brother, in this life, he will not bear her.
He vaguely understood why Second Master Qi was alone in 'looking the other way' at him.
His father also told him a lot, telling him not to have a negative second master and a young lady, to study hard, and to be a man who stands up to the sky.
For the sake of the little girl in his arms at this time, Zhou Jun secretly made up his mind.
In this life, he was to be a cow and a horse for her, and he was willing to do it.
The little girl was happy in Zhou Jun's arms, but she didn't know that she had just called in a milky voice. In exchange for a young man's life...... Dedicated to protection.
***
That night, Qi Lu couldn't come back to accompany Xie Ke for dinner. Looking at the food on the table, Xie Ke sighed lightly. It has been less than a year since the death of the emperor in the previous life. I don't know if there will be other variables in this life.
In the last life, Qi Lu had defected to the command of the King of Xiang at this time and opened up territory for the King of Xiang......
In this life, without the help of Qi Law, the King of Xiang can still ascend the throne as the emperor, is the matter of this world really a certainty? Xie Ke hastily had dinner, Yuhui quickly cleaned up the cups, and soon came back to accompany Xie Ke.
Cheng Jin has been so busy recently that he can't see anyone.
Yuhui knew that Cheng Jin was doing great things, and as a wife, what she could do was to take care of her young grandmother.
His young grandmother is Cheng Jin's serious master, and her status in Cheng Jin's heart can be imagined, and the second master simply treats the young grandmother as an eyeball...... As long as their young grandmother is well, those men can do great things without worries.
"The slave maid heard that in the past few days, Zhou County Commander has led people to start planting small saplings outside the city, and I don't know if this method is useful? The wind in Yecheng is so evil that it almost overturns the house. "Yecheng is windy, and the winter is better, but it blows once on three or five days, since the spring, it is simply **** blowing, and occasionally resting for a day and a half, I am busy cleaning the sand in the yard, for fear that the wind will blow like this for ten days and eight days, and the courtyard gate can be blocked.
“…… It should be useful, this place is sparsely populated, and I can see from the county records that a few decades ago, it was also full of cultivated land. It was only after a plague that the population plummeted and the farmland became barren until a few decades later. Xie Ke looked at the verses to be taught to Zhou Jun tomorrow under the candlelight, and responded softly.
"I see, what a sin. How did the good realm get infected with the plague? The slave maid heard that if the plague is a disease, if it happens, ten rooms and nine empty rooms, young grandmother, but is it true? "Yuhui naturally hasn't seen a real plague, but I've only heard those old people mention it occasionally. Just listening to it, I feel creepy.
Xie Ke nodded, and then put down the book.
"I've seen it in books that if there is a plague, it often kills a village...... I don't know how the plague happened decades ago? I only hope that in our lifetime, there will be no more plagues. Yuhui nodded heartily. At this time, a woman came in with a curtain lifted. "Young grandmother, a girl who calls herself Ah Shan asks to see her."
"Please."
Ashan?
Yuhui only knew that Ah Shan came on behalf of the southern realm, and she didn't know what Ah Shan and Xie Ke had experienced together. However, after hearing Xie Ke say the word please, Yuhui quickly got up and lifted the curtain and let Ah Shan into the house.
"Young lady."
Ah Shan smiled lightly and saluted. Xie Ke got up to help, let Ah Shan to his side, Yuhui served tea, and then got up and left the house.
There were only two people in the room, Ah Shan and Xie Ke, Ah Shan looked Xie Ke up and down, and then smiled and spoke. "Say goodbye to the south, don't come to the young grandmother."
"I'm fine, what about you? Can the Wu clan be managed? Is there anything going on in life? ”
"My Gu art and divination skills are the most powerful in the clan, who dares to make trouble? It's a young grandmother, this Yecheng doesn't look as good as my southern border, and the young grandmother is here, it's really hard. Ah Shan's words are sincere, she really likes Xie Ke in her heart, Xie Ke and Qi Lu are the only two people who treat her sincerely in this life.
People must not forget their roots, they helped her ascend to the position of patriarch, and helped her to pacify the scum of the clan.
Before leaving, Qi Lu gave her advice, telling her not to lose big because of small things, not to just look at the immediate interests, but to take into account the overall situation. She listened, complied, and co-opted those small clans, so that there would no longer be wars between clans from time to time as before.
It is indeed as Second Master Qi said.
Since there was no civil strife in the south, it has indeed become more and more prosperous.
Coupled with the trade with the Great Wei, the current southern border is very different from when Xie Ke and the others came.
This time, she came to really help. When I came to see Xie Ke, I wanted to express my gratitude...... "Young lady, thanks to the advice of the second master and the young lady, now the southern border is no longer as self-defeating as before.
The current southern border is dominated by the Wu clan, and the small clans next to it are all attached. I won't do the stupid thing of my own people beating my own people anymore.
Since the trade with the Great Wei, the medicinal herbs in the south have been degraded to the Great Wei, and the iron tools of cloth, tea, and silk have been exchanged from the Great Wei...... There are also books, and now the Wu clan has also opened a school, where children can read and write.
These, thanks to the second master and the young lady, if there is no help from the two. I'm afraid the southern border is still behind closed doors, and I want to be myself. Ah Shan's voice has also changed a little, and he is no longer as slurred as before, and his tone is quite tactful. And Ah Shan's appearance is also similar to that of the south.
At that time, she was poisoned by insects, and after several treatments, her appearance has recovered.
Today's Ah Shan looks like a delicate Jiangnan woman. "It's your credit, what does it have to do with our husband and wife. You, after a few months, are still the same. I always like to pass the credit on others, Ah Shan, you can come this time. I thank you from the bottom of my heart......" Xie Ke looked at Ah Shan and said sincerely.
Ah Shan smiled a little shyly.
"I came because of my selfishness. And when you had gone, the Emperor sent messengers to the south.
said that the southern border is the territory of the Great Wei, and an official should be sent to the southern border to sit in the town......"
