The reason why Liu Gong was suspicious of Wulun was because in this era, filial piety was indeed a profitable thing.

The former Han Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and the emperor added a word of filial piety before his name. It is derived from filial piety, and it is said in the "Book of Filial Piety" that the people are polite and obedient, and they are not good at being good, and they advocate that brothers should love each other, and the young and old should be orderly.

After the Han Dynasty of the new dynasty, because he took the throne as a courtier, even if there was a mythical package of the Red Emperor Chanrang, Wang Mang was not too good to emphasize loyalty to slap himself in the face, so he continued to advocate filial piety.

After listening to Liu Gong's question, Huan Tan spit out the fish bones and said something irrelevant.

"At the end of the year, I served my mother and widowed sister-in-law, raised my brother's widowed son, and served my uncles very thoughtfully. In front of his uncle Yangping Jingchenghou (Wang Feng) sickbed, he tasted the medicine himself, messed with his head, and did not untie his clothes for several months, which won the praise of the world. ”

Wang Mang himself is a typical example of relying on filial piety to win fame and position, and there is something in Huan Tan's words: "When it is, are there people like Boshi who suspect that His Majesty's purpose is not pure, and that filial piety is for fame and profit?" ”

"This ...... What does this have to do with today's events? His Majesty is a sage who only came out 500 years after Confucius, but Wu Lun is just a son of the countryside, how can he be compared. ”

Liu Gong regretted that he owed his mouth to provoke Huan Tan, and only asked the county Zai Xian Yu Bao: "The fifth and eighth families are relatives, is it possible to collude well, so that the fifth Lun can give up the quota to gain fame, and the eighth can be admitted to Taixue?" ”

"No way."

Xian Yu insisted on it: "The fifth and eighth clans are not as friendly and harmonious as the fifth Lun said, but there are many festivals. The subordinates once saw the fifth and eighth heads of the family meet on the bridge, but they refused to give in, and they were in a stalemate for half an hour, and the two families had not communicated for a long time, let alone colluded. ”

"Oh?" Liu Gong was surprised, now things have become complicated, the fifth Lun is repaying grievances with virtue?

Xian Yu praised: "Dare to tell the two doctors, in fact, the fifth Lun Pingsu is in the township, and he is mostly known for his friendship, especially since a month ago, after he fell seriously ill. ”

He told of a deed of the fifth lun.

"There is a big pear orchard in the fifth mile of Linqu Township, and every year when the pears are ripe, they will invite the people to eat together."

Of course, they will also send someone to press the best pears under the money silk and send them to their parents to taste, this story is Xian Yu heard from the fifth blessing of the servant who sent the pear.

"Fifth Lun always takes the initiative to take the small when eating pears, the small pear is obviously more sour, someone asked him why he is so, the fifth Lun replied: After learning the Book of Filial Piety, I understand the way of filial piety, I am young at home, I should let Kun's cousin take it first, and I take the smaller."

This story is very simple, but it is impressive, and it has spread in the county in only ten days under the spread of well-intentioned people.

Liu Gong dispelled his suspicions about the fifth Lun: "It seems that the fifth Lun is really kind and humble by nature, and the matter of letting the school is by no means an isolated case, it is my own speculation." ”

Huan Tan took a sip of wine and then spoke: "Although I have only had a conversation with this son in a few words, in my opinion, the reason why he let him learn may not be all because of filial piety ......."

"What's the reason for that?"

"I'm afraid it's just like me, too lazy to bother with the cumbersome exegesis of theology." Huan Tan burst out laughing.

Liu Gong didn't take his words seriously, but said secretly: "The fifth Lun makes pears, it's an interesting story." I might as well write it down and present it to my uncle when I return to Chang'an, maybe he will be included in the "Miscellaneous Notes". ”

On the other hand, the county Zai Xian Yu Bao also secretly sweated for the fifth Lun.

The reason why he helped the Fifth Clan speak was because Xian Yubao's father and the Fifth Ba were colleagues and had a good relationship. And for the fifth Lun to enter the Taixue, the old man also stuffed him with a lot of benefits.

After the banquet, Xian Yubao's heart was also lively.

"Now that the fifth Lun has given up the quota, it stands to reason that the money given to me by the fifth clan must be returned."

But he has already collected the money and silk of those utensils, and there is no reason to return it, what should he do?

Xian Yu praised the light of his heart, and decided to report the matter of the fifth Lun to the county and let the school.

First, such a typical example of filial piety under the rule is, of course, the political achievement of the county ruler and education.

Second, he can also give an explanation to the Fifth Clan, and he doesn't have to pay back his bribes.

"There happens to be a position that can be decided in the county, and it is suitable for a filial person like Fifth Lun!"

……

The hall of the middle courtyard is the largest building of the Fifth Courtyard, with thick pillars holding up the house, and there are windows on all sides of the hall, which are very bright during the day, and at night, two rows of bronze lamp stands are placed opposite the wall and lit in turn.

But Wu Lun, who was accustomed to the bright electric lights of later generations, still felt that the room was too dark.

Two rows of low-legged lacquer tables are placed in the center of the empty space, and behind the desk is a couch, which is the place where the Fifth Clan summons a meeting of the principals of the clan when it encounters a major event, and it is also a place of hospitality. The head of the Eighth Clan, who had come to the door overnight, and his young son knelt on the west seat.

On the main seat of the east seat, there sat the arrogant Fifth Tyrant, with a wooden stand behind him, and a long sword on the shelf, which was the same one that the Fifth Tyrant played every morning.

The sword is in the sheath, and the edge is not exposed, just like the fifth Lun who treats guests with a smile.

The fifth tyrant saw that the old enemy came to the door, and as soon as he spoke, he was not angry: "The meat in my kettle is just cooked, the eighth straight, are you here to eat?" ”

Unlike the veteran head of the Fifth Tyrant, who took the martial arts route, the Eighth Straight went to Taixue to listen to it when he was young, and he always spoke with a bit of the implicit character of a scholar, and he came to the door today not to provoke, but only lowered his head and lowered his eyes and said: "Speaking of which, I have indeed not eaten the food of the Fifth Clan for decades." ”

The two were also kind to each other when they were young, and they both worked as officials in the township, one was the pavilion chief, and the other was Wen Peng, but later they turned their faces, as for the reason...... It's not because of women.

The fifth tyrant narrowed his eyes: "You old man still hasn't changed, if you have something to say, don't beat around the bush." ”

The eighth straight smiled, and explained the intention: "I came here today, but it was for Boyu to give up the Taixue quota to the dog, Shiyun, cast it with a peach, repay it with Li, we should come to thank you." ”

"Hahaha." The fifth tyrant was a little proud, and said: "My family Lun'er is smart by nature, in the official school, he is the first in the first class in the first class in the official examination, he is also young, and he has opportunities." Thinking that the son of the Ru family is nearly twenty years old, he has tried and failed, and he will be old if he doesn't go. After all, they were brothers of the same clan, so they softened their hearts and gave it to him! ”

"I don't need him to let me!"

The eighth Jiao Shen who was angry with his face was ashamed, he left a short beard on his mouth and wanted to pretend to be an adult, but his personality couldn't hold his breath, and he was provoked by the fifth tyrant, and his face suddenly turned red and he got up to argue, but he was pulled by his father.

"Let's talk about it." The Eighth Straight smiled and said, "What does the Fifth Clan want?" ”

"It's a good piece of land in Qunan."

"Or is it a small house in the county town?"

"Or, do you want me to nominate you to the county as the third elder of the township?"

He only thought that the Fifth Clan wanted to use this quota to make a deal with his family.

The eighth was anxious: "Father, I'll go back next year because of this too much, why bother ......"

"Shut up!"

The eighth straight stopped him, a little disappointed in his son, this son hasn't figured out the current situation yet. Looking at the fifth Lun, he has been smiling and silent, how calm he is, he is still three years younger than you.

Which of the two went to learn too much, is it based on scripture learning? It's not like the two are wrestling behind the scenes. It will not be their turn until there are no school-age children in the larger scripture families in the county. But the fifth clan obviously won by adding money, but suddenly gave up the place, which surprised everyone.

The fifth Lun took the lead, and in just one afternoon, the deeds of his letting the school have spread in Changling County.

Whether the Eighth Clan wants it or not, this favor is already owed.

What is the most important thing about being Lu Right this year? It's not land, slaves and maids, since the new dynasty issued a decree prohibiting mergers and slaves and slaves, these two things are almost locked up, and it is difficult to increase rapidly, and the only thing that can be accumulated is reputation!

If this matter is not handled properly, it will be a revenge for virtue, and the reputation in the county will be greatly damaged. This is much more expensive than giving up a hectare of land and a few acres of houses.

However, the fifth tyrant was unmoved, and looked at the eighth straight with a smile, and his expression was clearly saying: "I don't want anything, I want your family to receive the benefits of the fifth clan." ”

"The Eighth Uncle."

Fifth Lun finally spoke, he held up the lacquer pot sent by the maidservant, and poured three glasses of wine into the beautifully made black and red lacquer ear cup - his family was only a small lihao, and his financial resources were limited, so he had always been simple, drinking pottery on weekdays, and using lacquerware for hospitality.

He got up and brought the two glasses of wine to the Fifth Tyrant and the Eighth Straight, and he knelt down on the open space between the east and west banquets, raised the lamp, and said, "I have heard that the people in this world are divided into different surnames, the same surname, the same clan, and the same clan. ”

The so-called surname refers to the ancient surnames such as Ji, Jiang, and Mi before the Spring and Autumn Period, which represent the original source, and between them and other surnames, it is like different trees in a forest. With the reproduction and migration, the surname grows like a tree and begins to sprout branches, which is the clan.

The concubine surnames were divided into Chen, Tian and other clans, and the migration of Tian Guang of the Qi Guotian clan further produced the fifth and eighth clans. Although the eight families have produced five suits, they still recognize each other as relatives of the same clan.

Fifth Lun Dao: "The fifth and eighth are brothers of the same clan, connected by blood, and close neighbors, and there is no entanglement between them such as fighting for land and water. I also heard that in the past, the eighth uncle and my eldest father were very good, but later they turned against each other due to misunderstanding. ”

Fifth Lun sighed: "I heard a song in the county town, a foot of cloth can still be sewn, a bucket of corn can still be licked, and the two brothers are incompatible. This time I am competing for a place in Taixue, and I don't know how many people are watching my two jokes! ”

"So I'd rather give up the opportunity to go out and study too much than break up between the two families. I only hope that the Eighth Clan and the Fifth Clan can take advantage of this incident and this wine to smile and enmity! ”

With that, he raised the glass and drank it all!

The maturity of the fifth Lun's words far exceeded his age, not only the eighth father and son, but even the fifth tyrant was stunned, and only after a long time did he slowly say: "I'm ashamed, we have lived in vain for so many years, but we are not as open-minded as the children. ”

After saying that, he took the initiative to raise his wine and saluted to the eighth straight.

The eighth straight also raised the lamp and said ashamedly: "Yes, the sect brother has a good grandson." ”

The two drank together, and at the end of the day, the bottom of the dried cup was revealed, and they laughed.

……

After that, the servants came to the hall at the right time to present meat meals, and the atmosphere at the dinner table of the Chinese often eased and warmed, and the tension of Fang Cai disappeared.

The fifth and eighth straightened seem to have restored the goodness of the past, pushing the cups and drinking drunk, and when they were drunk, the two even knocked on the edge of the bowl with chopsticks and sang the ballad of their youth.

Wait until late at night, this small banquet will end, the fifth tyrant has a good amount of wine, personally send the eighth father and son out, and the two families are back together today, and it will definitely spread throughout Linqu Township soon.

The eighth Jiaozhen was drunk, he had read the Confucian scriptures for many years, and his blood was impregnated with the moral code of Confucianism...... My lord, the fifth Lun is indeed true filial piety...... Ah, I blamed him wrong. ”

The eighth straight pretended to be drunk, and disagreed in his heart: "You son, after a few years of study, you only understand benevolence, righteousness and morality, and you don't know the sinister hearts of people." The fifth Lun is a clan brother, and he toasts and compliments you, so you don't know what your surname is! ”

The fifth Lun is so full of words, if they still hold on to that little holiday, they don't know what to do. The eighth straight can only smile and respond, and the end result is ......

Today, I ran for nothing, and the eighth owed the fifth favor, and I still haven't paid it back! In the future, I will have to cooperate with the Fifth Clan to perform this brotherly compatible play!

"But it's not bad for my family."

The eighth straight pondered like this, and then looked at his son who was already sleeping in the car, only took off his coat and gently covered him, and sighed: "The fifth old man is also lucky, giving birth to such a grandson, it is really an outlier. When it's the turn of the children to be the masters, I'm afraid the eighth clan will have to rely on the fifth clan's snort! ”

……

"Read more books, it's really useful, the eighth old man has always been cunning, but today he can only smile and respond, and the expression of eating and drinking is like drinking urine, happy."

After seeing the guest carriage go away, the fifth tyrant turned around and looked at his grandson in amazement, but his doubts grew bigger and bigger.

"Lun'er, the reason why you let you learn is probably not only because you want the fifth clan and the eighth clan to have a grudge?"

"Of course."

The fifth Lun Pingsu hid the plan in his chest, and now he was half drunk, so he revealed the little pride in his heart, and said with a smile: "Father, if in the next few years, the world is really in chaos, just with one clan in my family, one in the gathering, can I protect myself in the troubled times?" ”

The fifth tyrant shook his head, they gathered in a clan, built a dock yard, and beware of thieves and petty chaos. But if it is really as the fifth Lun conjecture, the great turmoil in the world at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Chu and Han dynasties reappeared, this mere two hundred Ding Zhuang is not enough, and a large-scale chaotic army is enough to wipe out the fifth clan.

"There are three piles on a fence, so my family needs a helper."

Fifth Lun stated his goal: "Father, I want to become the recognized head of the clan by making a name for myself. ”

In Linqu Township at night, each of the miles occupies a corner, and there are lights flickering, like loose stars in the dark sky.

Fifth Lun reached out and grabbed them, as if to hold them in his hands, condensing into a ball.

"If this can be the case, once the world changes, I only need to raise my arms and exhale, ten miles and eight clans, three thousand Ding Zhuang, and I can gather in Jingcong!"

……

PS: 10,000 collections in half a day after sending the book, you guys are too fierce.

In addition, thanks to the people under the sycamore, Shen Raku Nanai Official, the three alliance leaders who are afraid of water, and other readers, the alliance leaders will make up for it after it is put on the shelves - since the Han is dead, what the previous dynasty owes will not be made up in the new dynasty.

In addition, I have been chasing grenades and afraid of water in "Shao Song" for a few months, which is quite good-looking, and I have learned a lot of postures, such as ......

"Don't wait tonight!"

So change the update time, and from today, both chapters will be updated around 8 o'clock in the morning, so that everyone can read them before going to work, and don't wait at night.
