Chapter 40: Shao Yong
Luoyang is very important in the minds of the Northern Song Dynasty, last year Prime Minister Lu Yijian wrote Luoyang to Xijing, and Bianjing together called the two capitals, why Luoyang's status exceeds Chang'an City, one is that Luoyang has built the capital in the Later Tang Dynasty, politics, economy, and culture are very developed, and the second is that the ancestral tomb of the Zhao family is near Luoyang, and the canal is convenient, so it has created the scene in front of Lu Zifei today.
Last night they rested outside the city for a night, got up in the morning and had dinner, everyone gathered together, the atmosphere looked a little sad, after more than ten days of peers, familiar with each other's existence, the sound of storytelling, singing, dancing, cheering in the evening, which will keep playing in the mind repeatedly.
The first to speak was Hu Xue, who said with tears in her eyes: "Thank you for the care of Lu Gongzi all the way, let me learn a lot of things that I didn't think about before, and I am very happy to know Lu Gongzi." Saying this, I can't go on, everyone can see that Hu Xue likes Lu Zifei, but Luohua is ruthless and intentional, and Lu Zifei seems to regard Hu Xue as his sister.
Xu Tou clasped his fists with both hands and said: "After many years, my brothers and I wish the son success in his studies, the young man will go to the university, and fight for the champion of Chang'an City for us in the Jinluan Palace." Everyone laughed, but they laughed a little reluctantly.
Lu Zifei said to everyone: "Don't do this! It's like life and death parting, I just went to study, I'm still in Luoyang City, and Brother Xu, my home is in Chang'an, it's not that I won't go back, I said that I would invite you to drink when I went back, Miss Hu will go to you when I have time in Luoyang, don't pretend not to know you when you arrive. ”
Xu Tou said: "Okay, that's a word, I'm waiting for the glorious return of Gongzi in Chang'an City, Miss Hu, you call me Brother Xu, I'll say a few more words, and have a chance to find someone to redeem you, right?" Leave. The words were said to Hu Xue, but his eyes kept looking at Lu Zifei, and Hu Xue also looked at it with a blank eye.
In desperation, Lu Zifei said: "Let's go, otherwise the sky will change for a while, and I won't be able to leave, this separation is for a better meeting next time, and some things will be said after my imperial examination." ”
Xu Tou and Hu Xue's departure Lu Zifei was okay, because he knew that this day would come soon, and it was impossible for you to keep all your friends in your life, Huzi was very sad, Lu Zifei said: "If you go to Luoyang Piaoxue Building like this, I won't take you with me." ”
Huzi said: "If you don't take me, I'll go back to Chang'an now, and then marry Miss Pei, you called her name several times in your dream, I can hear it clearly, it seems that there is a Miss Cai or something." ”
Lu Zifei looked at Huzi calmly and said, "Didn't you say that you wouldn't talk to me that day?" You're flipping it again. ”
Huzi was familiar with Lu Zifei's movements, and said casually: "I know, I won't in the future." ”
"Brother Bi is here, we should also go."
Huzi asked: "You call him Brother Bi, but you let your daughter call you brother, isn't this messing up the generation?" ”
Lu Zifei said: "I want to be younger, calling my brother doesn't make me look younger, calling you uncle, others will know that you are a greasy uncle when they think about it, how good your brother is, how big can his brother be when Xiaoxuan is so young." ”
Huzi was still racking his brains to think about the truth in this, Lu Zifei picked up Xiaoxuan and scratched her nose and asked, "Do you miss my brother?" ”
Bi Xuan said in her immature voice: "I think about it"
Lu Zifei said: "Do you miss your brother, or do you want my brother to buy delicious food." ”
Bi Xuan's head lay on Lu Zifei's shoulder and said, "I want to"
Lu Zifei pinched her delicate nose and said, "What a little clever ghost." ”
Bi Sheng said: "Childe, there are two places in the courtyard, one is in the suburbs and the other is in the center, let's go see which one first." ”
Lu Zifei thought for a while and asked: "The place in the suburbs is not big, what is the environment, your research and some of my own things need a quiet environment, it's not good to be too noisy, and don't call me son." ”
Bi Sheng said: "Rules are rules, the people you interact with in the future are students and learned people, there are no rules others will look down on us, at this time the rules are up, it is better than others to say it later, so no one looks good on their faces." ”
Lu Zifei looked at Bi Sheng with a serious face, this person used to have the same title as himself, it was life that made him like this, if he didn't come from the next generation, he really didn't necessarily have a good life, and the social class and circle made them have to bow to life, he said: "When I get to Luoyang, I will find a housekeeper, you have to remember that you are not a servant, a subordinate, you are hired by me, and you also have an identity in this family, you can call Gongzi, what is Xiaoxuan's name, you don't care." ”
Bi Sheng heard Lu Zifei's unquestionable tone and smiled bitterly: "Okay, you are a parent, you have the final say." ”
Xiaoxuan sat on the little donkey and watched all this happily, no need to worry about food and clothing, delicious food, fun, this is the happiest time to grow up, I hope it will continue forever.
When the four of them came to the suburbs, Lu Zifei liked it here, with a small mountain at his back, surrounded by a small river, surrounded by this family, which was very in line with his wishes, and there were already people waiting for them after they entered.
Seeing the people in the courtyard, he greeted him and said, "Is this the son who wants to buy a house?" ”
Bi Sheng stood up and introduced: "This is my son-in-law, can you introduce him?" ”
The man said: "Zhuangzi can be moved in at any time, the size of Zhuangzi has five acres of land, and there are about thirty acres of land in front, including the hill behind Zhuangzi, these are the specific things, you can ask for Zhuangzi alone, I will sell the land to others, I suggest that you buy them all if the economy allows, my lord is going to Kaifeng, otherwise I am really reluctant to sell, you will never find a second Zhuangzi like this in Luoyang." ”
Lu Zifei said: "I'm here to study, to be honest, I like it here, you tell me, how much you buy it all, how much you buy it alone, if the price is right, I'll buy it all." ”
The man said: "Zhuangzi 3,000 guan, don't think about lowering the price, this is the bottom line of the master, 30 acres of land and the hill behind 1,000 guan, if you are all, I can reduce it by another 200 guan, this is my sincere desire to give you the most sincere price." ”
Lu Zifei listened to it within his own acceptable range, and said to Huzi: "You and Brother Bi go together to complete the land deed procedures, then buy some daily necessities, and then help me buy back the six rites of apprenticeship, and Xiaoxuan and I will visit our new home first." ”
The man was also very happy to hear that Lu Zifei was so refreshing, Lu Zifei remembered that he didn't know where Shao Yong's house was, and then asked: "Hello, I want to ask, Shao Yong, where Shao Yaofu's house is." ”
The man thought for a moment and said, "You're talking about Mr. Shao, who lives in Luoyang as a scholar." ”
Lu Zifei said: "Yes, it's him." ”
The man smiled and said, "Then you really bought the right Zhuangzi, did you see the mountain opposite?" The one that is quite high, after the death of my husband's parents, he has been doing education in that kind of place, a respected person, you have to work hard if you want to worship him as a teacher. ”
Lu Zifei thanked him, and the man went to the transfer of the title deed with Huzi, leaving Lu Zifei and Xiaoxuan.
Xiao Xuan looked at such a big yard and so many houses and asked happily, "Brother Zifei, will we live here in the future?" ”
Lu Zifei took her hand and said as he walked: "Yes! This will be our home in the future, does Xiaoxuan like it here? ”
Bi Xuan said happily: "I like it!" It's just that there are a little few people. ”
Lu Zifei smiled, he was really a child, but there were indeed a little few people, a little lonely, Xiaoyun and weak, plus his father and mother came over, it would be lively.
At first, the two of them walked, and after walking for a while, Xiaoxuan found that there were still many places to play Laipi without leaving, and Lu Zifei cured her on her back. When Huzi and Bi Sheng came back, Lu Zifei looked at all the places, although it was only five acres of land, but it was also a courtyard with three entrances and three exits, Bi Sheng said that there was no heroine for the time being, but the backyard could only be lived by Lu Zifei, and the servants lived in the front yard, and he and Huzi could live in the middle courtyard, Lu Zifei wanted everyone to live together in the future, but was opposed by Huzi and Bi Sheng at the same time. This kind of thing is not the reason for the rules, and others will think that your family has no tutor.
The house is clean, most of the furniture is still there, after cleaning up Lu Zifei looked at the time, he had already taken the six rites and rode the little donkey to prepare to go to the apprenticeship, fortunately, it was not very far, the lazy donkey grinded feces and urinated a lot, this ride began to roll, finally arrived, after the name Shao Yong appeared, Lu Zifei thought about it well, he was born as a Jinshi, refused to be an official several times, farmed for a living, noble character, good wine, easy to learn, master of science, easy to learn the greatest achievement.
Seeing this, you know what it means to farm for fun, the houses are all thatched houses, Lu Zifei suspects that the wind will blow down, a yellow dog lying on the fence wall, Lu Zifei has not come to the front, it barks wildly, at this time a woman with a handkerchief on her head came out of the thatched house, saw Lu Zifei and the things in his hand, drank the roar of the yellow dog and said to Lu Zifei: "You wait first, I will help you go in and ask, he still has guests today." ”
Lu Zifei said respectfully: "It's troublesome." But he moved to the side, and the big dog looked quite scary.
The woman came out and asked, "Did you come by yourself or were you introduced by someone else?" ”
Lu Zifei said: "It was my teacher who asked me to come." He took out the letter of introduction written by Zhang Yongxu and handed it to the woman.
The woman went in with a letter of introduction, Lu Zifei was waiting, and after waiting for half an hour, the woman came out and let Lu Zifei in, and after entering, there were two people sitting in the house, both in their thirties, and the two people were distinct, one was coarse and linen, with a thin face, and the other was in purple clothes, with a rich and noble appearance, so what he wanted to worship was the person in coarse linen.
Lu Zifei looked at the two of them as usual, and the two of them also looked at Lu Zifei, the letter was placed in front of the Huafu people, and the people in Mai said: "I am Shao Yong, you were introduced by Mu Ning, I can accept you, there is a little explanation in advance, I will teach you knowledge, but I don't guarantee that you will definitely be able to pass the Jinshi examination." ”
