Chapter 20: New Discoveries

Zhang Yongxu and Lu Zifei talked very happily at the dinner table, Zhang Yongxu was happy for this disciple, three years in the army may have fallen behind the knowledge in books, but his vision is broader, the level of standing is higher, it may be the same as Meng Sheng said, "Heaven descends on the people, they must first suffer their hearts, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, and empty their bodies." "It's a truth! The harsh environment can always bring people different feelings and different understandings.

Lu Zifei stood up and held the wine glass and said, "The first cup is to thank the teacher for his teaching, the second cup is to thank the teacher for his care, and the third cup is to thank the teacher for his recommendation." "Drinking three glasses in a row is also a big challenge for Lu Zifei, and his face and neck are red like a monkey's buttocks.

Zhang Yongxu could clearly receive Lu Zifei's sincere emotional fluctuations, and he also picked up his wine glass and replied to Lu Zifei, saying, "I taught you from Mengxue, and I can afford to call me a teacher, and I can pay attention to it outside in the future, the title of teacher should be called to the person who can help you, although it is a small thing, you can't be negligent." ”

Lu Zifei said, "One day as a teacher, a lifelong teacher, I will not give up my bottom line as a man for the future or something else, I feel that the moral defect can never be made up, the lack of morality proves that you have given up pity, gratitude, etc., one day I became such a person, unscrupulous means for the end, even if I became the emperor, what if I became an emperor, at that time did you still recognize me as a disciple?" ”

Zhang Yongxu is also a young man, he was lifted in his teens, a ruthless blow made him cowardly, if he didn't have a wife around him who never gave up, Zhang Yongxu himself would have passed away a long time ago, this will have a little chubby dun, he has no idea of suicide, Lu Zifei's words are equivalent to Daigo empowerment for him, he is not too old, and he still has the opportunity to change his life.

Zhang Yongxu was drunk, fifty or sixty degrees of wine one after another cup of wine is not drunk, not to mention that it is the first time he has drunk such a strong wine, Lu Zifei and Yan Caixia helped Zhang Yongxu to the bedroom together, and after serving him to sleep, Yan Caixia said to Lu Zifei, "Your teacher was disheartened after the incident happened after the middle of the lift, I have accompanied him for many years to slowly improve, seeing how happy he is drinking today, I didn't stop it, and finally I saw his heart knot opened, Shi Niang really thank you." ”

Lu Zifei said: "Shi Niang is polite, as a disciple, I also hope that the teacher can cheer up, everything will pass, the teacher wakes up I think he will muster up the courage to continue to take the road of the imperial examination, Shi Niang must be mentally prepared, the master can't pull down, what's the matter, Shi Niang will bring me a message, I will be on call." ”

Yan Caixia wanted to say something, but Lu Zifei shook her head and didn't let her say, "Why didn't we see our junior brother when we ate." ”

Yan Caixia said, "Are you angry with me? He keeps eating the candy you give, didn't you say that he would eat bad teeth? I hid myself, and you see a man sulking in a corner. This really made Lu Zifei laugh.

Lu Zifei walked over and hugged the little fat dun in his arms, wiped his crying face with a handkerchief, and said: "There are a lot of delicious foods in the senior brother's house, all of which you haven't eaten, this time the senior brother is in a hurry, next time the senior brother comes, bring you a little more, my mother doesn't let you eat more because I'm afraid that you will eat your teeth badly, and you won't be able to eat in the future, you have seen those old grandfathers under the mountain who have no teeth, you see that they can't eat anything, if you are obedient, just tell the senior brother what you want to eat, okay." ”

Little Fat Dun asked with a crying voice, "Then let's pull the hook twice, and after the hook is counted, you can't regret it." ”

After the two of them pulled the hook, Xiao Chubby Dun ran to the kitchen to find food, Yan Caixia didn't understand that Lu Zifei said a few words, and his son listened, and he didn't listen to what he said so much. After Lu Zifei went out, he said goodbye to Yan Caixia, "Senior sister stays, I have time to bring my junior brother to my house as a guest, I also have a younger sister who is more than a year old, and it is beneficial for children to have more contact with children." ”

turned over and rode away, without giving Mo Caixia a reason to refuse.

Lu Zifei really couldn't stay there, he was panicked, he didn't care when he heard the single name of the little fat dun, and then he thought that it was wrong when he pretended to say the four sentences of the horizontal canal, this is what the little chubby dun said! The history books record that Zhang Zai is a native of Xi'an, Shaanxi, and he stole the fame of others, and he was ashamed to say that he was in that mouthful of lotus flowers, and he talked endlessly, no matter how thick his skin was, he really didn't expect that the little fat man could say such mighty and domineering words, and quote other people's poems in the future, sentences must be paid attention to, and people can't catch a current, Huzi doesn't know what Lu Zifei thinks, and the master hasn't woken up yet, so he quit and left, which is an impolite behavior.

What Lu Zifei didn't know was that he woke up as soon as Zhang Yongxu left, one was embarrassed, the other was embarrassed, and the other was embarrassed, both of them successfully deceived each other, Yan Caixia came in with a basin of water and saw her husband and said, "Are you kind to your disciple like this?" Don't leave a gap between your master and apprentice, what a good boy, finally I saw that there are still two hundred bills under the bowl, and you will return them to others next time you come. ”

Zhang Yongxu said, "I really don't know what he has experienced in the past three years, so that a person's change is so big, his personality has become more cheerful, although he was smart before, his personality is still a little introverted." His academic views and views on the overall situation have strengthened my teacher, and I have heard what he said, I have wronged you, I decided to study hard as Xiao Fei said, and if I go to Tokyo in three years, I should also give an explanation to your family. "There was joy and pain for yourself, and you still have to face it.

When he arrived at the edge of the Wei River, Huzi fed the horse some beans and pulled the horse to drink, Lu Zifei met three readers, why did Lu Zifei recognize them as scholars at a glance? Because they wear the standard configuration of scholars, green shirts and Confucian robes, in this class society, there are a lot of dressing, this kind of Confucian robes are only worn by scholars, even if you don't have fame, you can also wear a sword, especially remind you that businessmen can only wear coarse clothes, and if you wear silk and satin, you will be exiled for three thousand miles, so in ancient times, no matter how rich you are, you can't compare to a nine-grade sesame official.

Among the three, the leader is Lu Zifei's classmate Liu Yang, although it has been three years, he can still recognize it at a glance, "Brother Liu hasn't seen you for a long time, I heard that you are the head of this year's county exam, and the younger brother came back late, send a late blessing." "Bowing down is a kind of etiquette between literati, which is completely different from the kind of subordinates meeting their superiors.

Liu Yang didn't expect to meet the former head of the case here, they can be regarded as friends in life, the two are competitors in their studies, and they have been pressed under him, this time he won the county test, he thought that Lu Zifei could raise his eyebrows when he came back from the army, but when he stood in front of him, he found that he was a little worse than him, not the difference in learning, momentum.

Liu Yang also returned the salute, "Zifei is still as radiant as ever, after you leave, I really feel that there is no direction of struggle in life, we can continue to compete when you come back, three years later to see who can have the last laugh, Jinluan Hall won the first place, riding a horse and walking the street Donghua Gate, you have to come on, you have no chance to turn the tables after losing this time." After finishing speaking, he half-squatted by the river to fill water, Lu Zifei saw him doing this very strangely, this action looked awkward, and it was very difficult to half-squat.

Lu Zifei remembered an episode in the young Bao Qingtian, Bao Zheng only saw the action of others to conclude the true image of the case, smiled self-deprecatingly that there was such a coincidence, and went back to ask his father, maybe he knew.

Let the horse rest for a while The two of them returned home before dark, Lu Zifei found that the light in the living room was still on, so he gave the horse to Huzi, and went straight to the house, seeing his father holding the weak and waiting for him.

Lu Li smelled the smell of wine on his son's body and frowned and said, "Since you have been drinking, you will stay at your teacher's place for one night, and you have to come back in such a hurry, don't you know the situation of the tie?" There is still a section of mountain road, and there is nothing to do at home, your teacher is okay, I was supposed to take the initiative to visit people, but it was delayed for three years. ”

Lu Zifei said a little embarrassed: "The teacher is drunk, I'm embarrassed to stay there." ”

Lu Li also hated that iron could not become steel, "Then there are students who get the teacher drunk, you are really not big or small." ”

Lu Zifei knew that his father was just talking about it, and he still hoped that he would go home in his heart, Lu Zifei didn't speak, hugged the weak who was dozing off, weakly opened his eyes and saw that it was the eldest brother, and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

"The dead girl is only so old to recognize people, I let him sleep, he doesn't sleep, his upper eyelids shake and his lower eyelids fight, and he told me, I don't sleep, I want to wait for my brother to come back, what a little white-eyed wolf." Lu Li felt that after his eldest son came back, his status in this family was plummeting, and even the little girl who was weak knew that her brother was better than her father.

After the weak fell asleep completely, Lu Zifei came to his mother's room with his arms, and his mother didn't sleep, so he put the weak on the bed and said to Lu Zifei, "An old man came to look for you and your father in the afternoon, and the old man left in the end, your father will wait for you to have something to do, you go first, I'll make you some sobering tea, drinking at such a young age is not good for your health." ”

"Mother, I'm already an adult, I'm eighteen years old this year." Lu Zifei resisted.

"What's wrong with being eighteen, you're not my son at eighteen, my lord, are you as old as me?" Every parent will use this sentence to scold their children, and no child can refute this sentence.

He took the letter from his father's hand, sat down across from him, and after reading it, he sighed that the things in this world were really a combination of all kinds of coincidences!

"Father, I heard that the Liao and Dangxiang people are very different from us Han people when they drink water, is there such a thing?"

Lu Li replied: "That's true, why did you ask about this." ”

"That's right, but there are still doubts, what the hell is he from?"

Lu Li said, "What are you muttering there?" ”

Lu Zifei said: "Father, do me a favor, tomorrow you can help me inquire about Liu Xiancheng's experience as an official." ”
