The team stopped next to the town office. At the head of the platoon was the battalion commander Guan Xiong, who was thirty or six years old at the time Chinese New Year's Eve, who was both majestic and polite, and appeared mature and capable.

Seeing this, Li Dejin cleared his throat, raised his voice and read aloud: "Gong said: 'I'm tired, don't play, go away!'"

Orr, there is a beautiful woman hugging the child, looking at the couch and exclaiming: 'Ah Weng is coming, there is a drunk man occupying my nest, and I can't sleep!'......"

"Hehe," Guan Xiong quickly came to the bulletin board and greeted Li Dejin with a smile, "What are you reading this little brother?

"Hello Master Jun!" Li Dejin felt a burst of joy in his heart, and quickly replied, "I'm reading the family history of the town elder!"

"Oh, I'll take a look!" Guan Xiong looked at it seriously, and unconsciously read it out loud, "Xuan, Yi Weng said: 'This benevolent and virtuous prince, you need to find another place, Fu Disturb!' The woman went. Weng ordered a servant to rub the public body with his palm. The servant's palm is moved, and the public pain disappears immediately. ”

Reading and reading, Guan Xiong gave a thumbs up and praised: "It is vivid and expressive, very literary! Who wrote it?"

"It's me, Lord Jun. Li Dejin replied triumphantly.

Guan Xiong carefully looked at the young man in front of him - his eyebrows were clear and his eyes were beautiful, and his aura was lofty, as if he had seen it somewhere, and he couldn't remember it for a while, so he praised it sincerely: "This is a handsome young man who is one in a hundred!"

"Hee-hee-hee......-hee

"Is that your brother?" asked Sekio curiously.

Li Dejin replied: "One of them is my brother. His name is Lee Deok-seok, and he is a year younger than me. However, he ran away eight years ago, and I heard that he ran away with a foreigner. ”

"Li Dexi?" Guan Xiong asked in surprise, "Is that foreigner's name Jack?"

"It's called Li Dexi!" said Li Dejin, "but I haven't heard the foreigner's name." ”

Guan Xiong asked excitedly, "Do you want to know your brother's whereabouts?"

Li Dejin replied: "Of course I do! However, he is not my own brother, he is my uncle's family." My aunt is going crazy. Where is little Dexi now?"

"In the capital, I was an attendant to Emperor Xun. Guan Xiong replied.

"Who is Emperor Xun?" asked Li Dejin.

"It's the abdicated emperor. Guan Xiong said, "Jack is Emperor Sun's teacher, and Li Dexi accompanies Emperor Xun to study." ”

"Look, another handsome boy is coming!" Li Dejin pointed to Shen Zhaoyin who ran over and said, "He's my second cousin." His mother was my aunt. All three of us are reincarnations of the Middle Hall!"

"Zhongtang reincarnated?" Guan Xiong asked puzzled, "How do you know?"

"I don't know. Just listen to what the adults say. Li Dejin replied.

"Oh, no wonder you look so alike!" Guan Xiong said with a smile.

Shen Zhaoyin said: "Actually, I'm not his cousin! He picked me up before he married my mother. The mother in this family is not my own mother, and my real mother is also surnamed Shen!"

"Then why do you two look the same?" asked Guan Xiong with a smile.

"I know this," Li Dejin said, "my uncle said that the second cousin is also his son." ”

"Smack!" Shen Zhaoyin slapped Li Dejin in the mouth and said, "You, you dare to talk nonsense, you wait and see!" After speaking, he turned around and ran away.

Guan Xiong pointed at Li Dejin and said, "If you look at it, you will know that it is true." This kind of thing can't be said casually. ”

"It's not nonsense, it's true! Don't believe it, let's bet!" Li Dejin said firmly.

"Hahaha......" Guan Xiong laughed, "you can spare me! I don't believe what you say, and I don't dare bet with you." Can you tell me your name first?"

"My name is Li Dejin. Li Dejin replied, and then asked, "Are you an official?"

"yes, what do you want to do?" asked Guan Xiong.

"I want to go out and fight as a soldier!" replied Li Dejin, "I don't want to be at home all day long listening to Da and my mother nagging." Xiao Dexi ran out because he was afraid that he would hit his mother so much. Please don't tell me where Uncle and Aunt Xiao Dexi are, okay?"

"Hahaha......" Guan Xiong patted Li Dejin on the shoulder and said, "It's good to want to be a soldier! However, you must study hard now, and only when you are educated and a soldier can you have strength and success!"

"That's what my lord said. I listen to you!" Li Dejin said with a smile.

"Then I'll test you again, okay?" asked Guan Xiong.

"Okay. Just ask!" Li Dejin said as he looked at Guan Xiong with expectant eyes.

"Well, listen up," said Guan Xiong, "the beauty of the southeast has the bamboo and arrows of Huiji, and the beauty of the southwest has the gold and stone of Huashan." ”

"My lord, is this the word from 'Erya'?" asked Li Dejin.

"Yes!" Guan Xiong was amazed, reached out and touched Li Dejin's head and asked, "Do you know what these two sentences mean?"

It is said that the most beautiful thing in the southeast is the bamboo arrow, and the most beautiful thing in the southwest is the gold and stone, which is a metaphor for excellent talents. This is the origin of the 'South Gold East Arrow'. Really, sir?"

"Exactly!" Guan Xiong exclaimed, "Haixidi has been published since Wu Chengen's "Journey to the West" in the Ming and Qing dynasties. What a talent!"

"Sir," said Li Dejin, "Wu Chengen's hometown, Liuyuan Village, is near here. Seeing Guan Xiong looking at him with wide eyes, he pointed to the southwest direction and said, "Four or five miles to the southwest, you will be there in one trip." ”

"Okay. I'll definitely take a look at it when I find time!" Guan Xiong asked again, "Do you know how to write poetry?"

"If you ask the question, I will be able to make a poem now. Li Dexi raised his head and said proudly.

"Okay!" Guan Xiong said, pointing to the children playing not far away, "They are catching dragonflies, how about you write this?"

"Okay!" Li Dexi responded happily, scratching his head and thinking for a while, and then chanted, "Xiao Hu moved lightly with bated breath and quietly stretched out his hand to the flower branch. A dragonfly flew away, and the playboy stomped his feet and hesitated. ”

"Good poetry!" Guan Xiong praised, and then asked, "Who is Xiao Hu?"

"A mustache is a child. Shen Zhaoyin ran back from the town office and said, "My lord, my name is Shen Zhaoyin, I am the mayor of the town, and he will come to greet you immediately." ”

"Okay. I'm about to go to the town office. Let's go over together!" Guan Xiong said.

Shen Zhaoyin said: "Xiao Dejin's big teacher is a teacher here, so he is good at Chinese. But what Xiao Dejin said and wrote, many classmates didn't understand. When we see ancient poetry, our minds grow and we don't like it at all. ”

"And what do you like?" asked Guan Xiong.

"I like vernacular. Brother Mu is in middle school in Haizhou Mansion, and I like the magazines he brought back! I can recite a lot of articles on them!" Shen Zhaoyin said.

Seeing Shen Zhaoyin's quick talk, Guan Xiong liked it very much, so he asked: "Lao Tzu said, straight but not wanton, bright but not dazzling." Do you know what that means?"

Shen Zhaoyin scratched his ears and thought for a while, but finally shook his head.

"What about you?" asked Guan Xiong, pointing at Li Dejin.

"Straight but not unbridled means straightforward but not excessive, not presumptuous, and light but not dazzling means that there is light but not dazzling and not dazzling. Li Dejin replied very confidently, and when he saw Guan Xiong nodding while listening to him, he smiled proudly, "Hehehe......"

"Good! high!" Guan Xiong gave a thumbs up, but when he saw Li Dejin's arrogant appearance, he was a little unhappy in his heart.

Li Dejin was very happy, but suddenly remembered what Li Dalong said when he taught him the Tao Te Ching - you must not show pride and complacency in front of adults.

So he couldn't hold back a smile and asked respectfully, "My lord, am I right?"
