In the middle of the time, Jiang Anyi met Yu Zhijie's four nephews in Jing Si Zhai, Yu Qingliang and Yu Qingfei are already weak crown years, both of them are talented, the third Yu Qingshan is older than Jiang Anyi, the youngest Yu Qingyun is the same age as Jiang Anyi, the four of them are dressed in brocade clothes, and they are extravagant.

Yu Zhijie pointed to Jiang Anyi and introduced to the four of them: "This is Jiang Anyi, a student from Pingshan, listen to my lecture with you, you are the same age, and you should be close to each other." ”

Yu Mansion is famous in Xinqi County, the second master Yu Zhiren, the third master Yu Zhihe is a well-known squire in the county, Jiang Anyi heard the reputation of Yu Qingliang and others "Yu Family Four Shows", and hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply, and said respectfully: "Please take care of the four sons." ”

The four of them listened to their uncle's introduction that this person was just a poor scholar in the countryside of Pingshan, and seeing that although the clothes on his body were new, they were just coarse cotton clothes, and the workmanship was not exquisite, and their faces couldn't help but show disdain, and they arched their hands slightly, and sat down, Yu Qingyun snorted even more, and raised his head to look at Jiang Anyi.

Jiang Anyi didn't care, he and the children of the rich family were not all the way, and he was already full of joy when he had the opportunity to listen to Yu Zhijie's lecture on Jingyi, so how could he take care of anything else. Yu Zhijie saw that the arrogance of his four nephews was overflowing, and he sighed secretly in his heart.

The same scriptures came out of Yu Zhijie's mouth, and they were many times more clever than Ma Xundao. Yu Zhijie's explanation is not confined to the book, and the side Zhengbo is scattered, interspersed with the views of famous experts, as well as personal opinions, which are simple and interesting.

Yu Zhijie has been in an important position for a long time, and the interpretation of the scriptures and meanings he said in his mouth represents the correct interpretation of the scriptures, and Jiang Anyi has copied a lot of interpretations and commentaries on the scriptures circulating in the market.

It was like breaking the barrier to show the world, Jiang Anyi's heart was full of joy when he heard it, and many incomprehensible points suddenly became clear, and he couldn't wait to dance with his hands. After an hour of teaching, Jiang Anyi only felt that the spirit was surging, and the spirit touched the spirit machine, and it was out of control, so he could only force his lively mind to press, lest he miss the next sentence, and the nervous, excited, and apprehensive mood was mixed, like the noisy sound of strings, and he couldn't breathe.

Jiang Anyi's joy was in the eyes of Yu Zhijie, on the other hand, the eyes of the four nephews were dull, they seemed to hear but not listen, they seemed to understand or not, there was no need to compare, and the superior and inferior were already divided. Jiang Anyi felt that time was like an arrow, but the four brothers of the Yu family were like pins and needles, and finally got Yu Zhijie to finish speaking, and saluted and raised his head to pass by Jiang Anyi's side.

"Stupid." Yu Zhijie scolded helplessly, this young man's future achievements are far above yours, since Jiang Anyi is allowed to listen to the lecture, he simply makes the favor bigger. Yu Zhijie said with a smile: "Anyi, you might as well come over these days to listen to the lecture, your home is in Pingshan Town, not close to the county seat, there are many guest rooms in the house, you live here, you can save going back and forth, and the old man can talk to you in his spare time." ”

"Thank you, Master Yu." Jiang Anyi couldn't ask for it, and thanked him repeatedly, Yu Zhijie arranged for a servant to take Jiang Anyi to the guest room, and someone informed the Jiang family not to mention it.

Yu Zhijie's lectures are not limited to the Four Books and Five Classics, and occasionally talks about the government and people's livelihood, and even talks about the affairs of the DPRK and China. Yu Zhijie has been a Beijing official for many years, serving as a household servant, and he has a deep view of current affairs and the direction of the court. Jiang Anyi listened very carefully, and he knew very well that the imperial examination was not only proficient in the scriptures, but also exhaustively studied the scriptures, and the questions involved politics, economy, culture, and official governance.

Through Yu Zhijie's mouth, Jiang Anyi opened an outward window, gradually gained an understanding of the situation in the DPRK and China and the general trend of the world, and roughly knew the attitude of some people in power towards things and the way they handled government affairs.

The opportunity is rare, Jiang Anyi is racing against time in Yufu, in addition to listening to the lecture, he immediately wrote down what he got when he returned to the guest room, put down the pen to concentrate on it, and then imprinted what he had learned. Yu Zhijie recommended a few books, Jiang Anyi read while copying, Chang Juesan was more passable, and time flew by.

Yu Zhijie would occasionally chat with him, and at first he only talked about poetry and painting, and Jiang Anyi asked some questions about the scriptures, which could always provoke Yu Zhijie's conversation. Yu Zhijie likes this peasant son more and more, he is smart and studious, and he is very popular, if he doesn't have time, he really wants to officially accept Jiang Anyi as a disciple.

The uncle, who has always rarely praised people, actually praised the farmer's smartness several times in a row, which made the four young masters of the Yu family "taste", you must know that the four of them have studied with their uncle for more than half a year, and the praise they have received is not as much as Jiang Anyi these days.

You can not care about a thing, but if there are outsiders competing for that shit, it will turn into gold, not to mention that learning is not taught lightly, why should a farmer listen to his uncle's lecture in the house. The four sons of the Yu family were jealous in their hearts, and naturally they didn't have a good face for Jiang Anyi, if it weren't for their uncle's face, several people wanted to drive Jiang Anyi out of the door.

Yu Zhijie was well aware of the performance of his nephews, and privately told several nephews that Jiang Anyi was not a thing in the pool, and asked them to intersect with Jiang Anyi in Weimo. The four young people of the Yu family were only in front of them, and they were still the same after that, sneering, arrogant and rude. Jiang Anyi did not take the Yu brothers' carelessness to heart, he was still humble and polite, and returned to his residence after class every day, trying not to meet with the Yu brothers to avoid disputes.

Don’t wait for prosperity to care for the things important to you. After returning from school, Yu Qingliang asked his brothers to come to the Liuchun Pavilion in the north courtyard where he lived to drink and relax, the pear trees outside the Liuchun Pavilion shivered in the cold wind, the warmth in the Liuchun Pavilion was strong, and the silver charcoal was placed in the corner, and there was no smell of fireworks.

The wine is Biluochun, which is as famous as Huang Su Drunk, Qiongzhou Liquid, and Mingyuexiang. The wine is made green in the glass, the fragrance is tangy, and a mellow fragrance goes down the throat in the mouth, which is many times richer and aromatic than the village brew. Yu Qingfei spit out a mouthful of wine and praised: "This wine is in the stomach, the whole body is much warmer, and it is worthy of being one of the four famous wines." ”

"This wine was specially bought by the second uncle for the eldest uncle to drink, but our brothers don't have it, where did you get it, eldest brother? You say, the uncle is so good to the kid surnamed Jiang, will he give him an altar? Yu Qingfei took a piece of venison and chewed it slowly.

"I can't eat anymore, I drink, I think of that Jiang Anyi is angry, drink."

Yu Qingyun slapped the table and shouted: "I don't know what's good about this rural Han family, my uncle is so kind to him." ”

Yu Qingshan said with a smile: "I heard that kid is a craftsman, and I don't know how to cast for my uncle's fate, alas, my nephew is not as good as an outsider, I think we still let him go." Fourth, you slap your face at that kid, beware of the uncle being unhappy. ”

"I'm afraid of him," Yu Qingyun jumped up and said, "I'll go and tell him to get out." ”

Yu Qingfei's face sank, and he shouted: "Fourth, sit down, don't come nonsense." The third child, you are less yin and yang, and you are weirdly teasing the fourth, why don't you come forward to drive that kid away. ”

Yu Qingliang took a sip of wine and said lightly: "That kid is really annoying, fourth, if you can drive him away, my pair of thrushes will be sent to you." ”

"Really, big brother, you must not lie to me." Yu Qingyun shouted happily.

Yu Qingyun is not stupid, he knows that his two cousins regard him as a "bird", but he is young and vigorous, and he really hates Jiang Anyi, so he still has a little unspeakable jealousy.

After breakfast, Yu Qingyun broke into the guest room where Jiang Anyi lived with two servants, and Jiang Anyi was copying books. Yu Fu has a rich collection of books, Yu Zhijie recommended these books, Jiang Anyi seized the time to transcribe them, so that he could read them carefully when he returned home.

Seeing Yu Qingyun come to his residence, Jiang Anyi flashed a bad feeling, hurriedly put down his pen, and saluted: "I've seen the fourth son." ”

"Hmm", Yu Qingyun snorted with his nose and said reluctantly: "My uncle is about to return to Beijing, and there is something in the house for him to arrange, so please do it." ”

Jiang Anyi was stunned for a moment, and understood that this was to drive himself away, although he knew that it was very likely that the fourth prince was falsely spreading the "holy decree", but under the fence, how could he really argue, even if he made trouble with Yu Zhijie, he would not have a good result.

Jiang Anyi finally tried to say: "Let me resign to Lord Yu." ”

How could Yu Qingyun let Jiang Anyi see his uncle, wouldn't that be exposed, he raised his head and shouted: "No need, my uncle is discussing with the second uncle, you go quickly." ”

Jiang Anyi left a letter of resignation, put things in order, bowed three times in the direction of Jing Si Zhai, and left gloomily with a few copied books.

At that time, Jiang Anyi did not appear in the study, Yu Zhijie was quite surprised, in the past, Jiang Anyi was waiting outside the garden a moment in advance, why didn't he come today? Glancing at his four nephews, Yu Zhijie asked, "Why didn't Jiang Anyi come?" ”

The four of them looked at each other, shaking their heads in unison and pretending not to know, their eyes showing joy.

The servant in the guest room brought the books and replied according to Yu Qingyun's instructions: "Gongzi Jiang said that there is an urgent matter at home, so I will leave first, and I will return these books to the master." The letter was torn apart by Yu Qingyun and thrown into the waste ditch.

Yu Qingshan feigned anger and said: "The erector is rude, how can he say goodbye without saying goodbye, and his uncle values him so much." ”

Yu Zhijie pointed at a few nephews with his hand, and said angrily: "A bunch of fools, don't regret it in the future, get out." ”

Sitting down angrily, seeing a few books sent back from the table, Yu Zhijie sighed, after all, he is his nephew, and he always has to take care of their face, Jiang Anyi is indeed a talent, and he really loves talent.

After thinking about it, Yu Zhijie found a few books from the bookshelf, put them together with the original ones, and ordered: "Come on, send these books to Jiang Anyi's house, just say that the old man has something to do at home, and he can't teach him anymore, let him read these books carefully." ”

………………

On February 26, Xinqi County North Wuli Pavilion. The distant mountains are smoky, the grass is far away, the wildflowers are dotted with spring, and the willow branches that have just spit out their buds are swaying in the wind. Yu Zhijie looked back at the direction of his home, full of distraction, he didn't know if he could return to his hometown again, maybe only a dream could return to his hometown, the wheels slowly rolled on the official road, and his hometown and family were getting farther and farther away.

The carriage was bumpy on the official road, shaking Yu Zhijie drowsy, a gust of wind blew, the weather in early spring was a little cool, and suddenly a flute was heard clear, breaking the silence of the car dealership.

Listen to the flute sound, like spring grass in the wind, accompanied by thousands of miles, birds and magpies in the soft breeze and drizzle, like farewell, like farewell, like attachment, like pity, the tune is soothing, sad but not sad, it seems to be the remembrance and retention of parting, and it plays a smooth sailing blessing for the travelers.

Yu Zhijie paused again and again, lifted the curtain, and beside the avenue, the flute in green shirts was Jiang Anyi. Jiang Anyi bowed and said loudly: "Anyi is here to send off Master Yu, I wish you to go to Dapeng to spread your wings, and your wishes will come true." ”

"Okay, good, Anyi, I didn't expect your flute to play so beautifully, and I got this good song as a gift, the old man's return to his hometown this time is a success, and he will bring wine."

A servant brought Mazar and placed it beside the roadside, and offered wine on a tray, and the two drank it all at once.

Putting down the wine glass, Yu Zhijie said: "Anyi, you are a piece of jade, and if you put it in the hands of the Master, you will inevitably bloom, but unfortunately the old man can't help himself, and you can't follow the old man into Beijing, and you can't give birth to a talented person, which is a pity." Anyi, if you can come to the capital, the old man will take you as an apprentice. ”

Jiang Anyi smiled bitterly, it was still difficult to have food and clothing at home, how could he stay away and go to the capital. Yu Zhijie also knew that the Jiang family was poor, sighed, and stepped back into the carriage with a basket of folding fans, and Jiang Anyi sent him off respectfully.

In the faint sound of the flute, the carriage gradually drifted away, and finally disappeared.
