It didn't take long, and a slightly chubby middle-aged woman trotted out: "Congratulations to Zijian, congratulations to Zijian, Mrs. gave birth, she is a big fat boy, mother and son are safe!" ”

It turned out that this strong man's name was Zijian, but this surname was not simple. Legend has it that Dayu succeeded in controlling the water, Ji, Qi, Tao and others had meritorious, Emperor Shun appointed the deed as Situ, sealed him in the commercial land, and gave him the surname as a son. The 13th grandson of the deed, "Tang", overthrew the Xia Dynasty and established the Shang Dynasty, and then canonized Huizi as the Song Dynasty, which continued to the Zhou Dynasty, that is, the Song State. Huishan here is the place where Huizi was buried after his death. This strong man is the descendant of Ziyu Muyi, who lived in seclusion here a hundred years ago, and has always retained the surname 'Zi' because of his nostalgia for his ancestors.

This son Jane declined due to his family's career, but this generation became a carpenter, making some carpentry to support the family. When he was young, he also read the Tibetan scrolls left by his ancestors, and his knowledge was not shallow, and he also traveled around the world, looking for teachers and friends to make friends, and learned a good skill, but he had no intention of pursuing a career, and he did not return until he was twenty-five years old. The ancestors of this Confucian people are not simple, but they are the descendants of Taiding, the son of Shang Tang, the founding monarch of the Shang Dynasty, and the surname Kong derived from the descendants of Taiding after the death of Shang. Kong Xiren's son Jane is eight years old, and he is also full of poetry and books, dignified and virtuous. This year is exactly seventeen years old, according to the "Zhou Li", "men marry at thirty, women marry at twenty" this maximum age limit for marriage, the two of them are married at this age, it is already a late marriage age, the parents of both sides discussed properly, and then in the autumn of the second year, Zijian and Kong Xi people became wives, it was the year of Zi Jian 26 years old, Kong Xi people 18 years old, one year after marriage, Kong Xi people were pregnant A, and gave birth to a son at the spring equinox.

Besides, this Zijian, hearing the good news of the midwife's sister-in-law, Zijian's heart bloomed in four seasons, and she hurriedly took out a roll of cloth and handed it over: "This time there is Lao Xiang's sister-in-law, a little light gift is not a respect, and please accept it." Later, I will call Brother Shangxiang to come over for dinner. ”

Sister-in-law Xiang took the cloth with a smile: "Folks, what is there to work for, today the Greek people have just given birth, and they need you to take care of it, so they won't let Brother Xiang come over, and after this time, the child is full moon, and it's not too late to eat." Come in and take a look, you've been out there for a while. ”

Zijian smirked and rubbed her hands: "This is the first time to be a father, hehe, some anxious, some anxious." "Shake your body as you speak.

Sister-in-law Xiang smiled: "It's all like this, when your brother Xiang first became a father, he was no better than you, okay, don't pull you to nag, I'll prepare some millet porridge, old hen, and then make up for the Xiren, promote milk, you go in quickly." ”

This son Jane answered, turned around and trotted quickly, almost to the front of the house, but put down his steps again, and walked slowly, but he was afraid that the heavy footsteps would frighten his son.

When he opened the curtain and entered the house, he saw the Nashi lying on the bed, and beside him lay a baby, whose eyes had not yet been opened, as if he were sleeping. Walked softly to the side of the Greek. When Nahi heard the footsteps, he opened his eyes and looked at his husband, smiled, and motioned for him to sit down. Zijian looked at the undried sweat on Xiren's face, wiped it with a towel in distress, and kissed it gently: "Madam is tired." ”

As if he was afraid that the baby in his arms would see it, Xiren's face was shy, and he turned his head to look at it, and saw that the baby did not react, so he put his mind at ease and said coquettishly: "Be careful that the child sees it badly." ”

Zi Jian Han said with a smile: "The child has just been born, even if you see it, how can you understand?" ”

Xiren looked at the baby lovingly: "That's not necessarily, how can our children be ordinary, they are dragons among people." Look at our child, what do you say is the best name for him? ”

Zijian took a closer look at the child, the newborn baby's skin had not yet been stretched, and it was slightly wrinkled, but the complexion was slightly darker than that of other babies she had seen, but her forehead was angular and angular.

"Madame is right, our children must be unusual." Zijian looked at the child and said.

Knowing that her husband was a carpenter, he was a man of great learning and insight, so he asked, "Tell me how unusual our child is?" ”

"Don't say." Zijian said, "We can't just set a future for children, children have their own paths." ”

In this way, Xi people also understood that in fact, Zijian's words were to avoid closing the coffin, otherwise it would limit the child's development.

Looking at the child, Zijian quickly flipped through the ancient books in her mind, wanting to give the child a good name, a good name also affects the child's life, and suddenly a flash of inspiration: "Madam, our children have slightly dark skin at first glance, the black one, the water virtue is also, the good is like the water Ren Fangyuan, the virtue has become steel, the black one, the ink also, the four treasures of the study, I named our child 'ink', how about it?" ”

"Ink, sub-ink, good as water." Xiren muttered softly, "It's very good, our child is called Zimo." He turned his head to look at the baby in his arms and whispered, "Did you hear that?" My son, your father gave you a nice name, and from now on you will be called Zimo. When you grow up, let your father give you a word, and you will grow up quickly. ”

In order to give his wife and children a warm home, Zijian's work is full of energy, not to mention, Zijian's carpentry skills are indeed extraordinary, famous for hundreds of miles, not to mention how rich the days are, but not too hard.

Let's say that on the day Zimo was born, a major event happened in the Song Kingdom, which happened to be the thirty-seventh year of Song Jinggong's reign.

On the morning of this day, Song Jinggong just sat on the throne and wanted to deal with state affairs, Taishi Ziwei hurriedly walked in, and after seeing it, he straightened up and said: "King, I watched the stars at night, but I found that Yingyu was about to be in the position of the rest. ”

When Song Jinggong heard this, he stood up and said, "Taishi, do you mean that Yingfu is about to be in your heart?" Why is that? ”

Taishi Ziwei thought for a while and replied cautiously: "The appearance of Yingfu indicates the punishment of heaven, the heart is the division of the Song Kingdom, and the disaster is in the monarch." ”

Hearing Taishi's words, Song Jinggong's face turned white, and he sat down on the throne: "Could it be that the widow has done something against the sky, and the heavens are about to fall and punish him?" ”

Seeing that the king was so worried, Ziwei thought about it, and still said: "The king, this Yingfu guards his heart, but there is also a way to solve it. ”

Hearing this, Jing Gong suddenly came to his senses and asked eagerly, "What is the solution?" ”

"You can pass it on to the prime minister and let the prime minister share your worries." Ziwei thought about it again and again, but still said it.

Jing Gong, who had a glimmer of hope, shook his head and said: "The prime minister is the one appointed by the widow to govern the country, how can the widow bear to pass on this disaster to him, this is not appropriate." ”

Ziwei said: "Maybe it can be passed on to the people, so what? ”

Jing Gong shook his head: "The people are the water, the widows are the boats, the boats are on the water, the people are dead, whose monarch will the widows be?" Rather than this, it is better to die alone. ”

Ziwei felt sorry for Jing Gong so much that he loved the people and his courtiers, and after thinking about it, he put forward another suggestion that would not hurt the lives of the people and the lives of the ministers: "The king, maybe it can be passed on to Niancheng, so that there will be no worries about the king." ”

When Jing Gong heard this, he shook his head again: "No, no, the people are hungry and will definitely die." If a ruler cannot bring good news to his people, but starves his people to death, so who will make a widow a ruler? Jing Gong sighed, "It seems that there is no good way, maybe this is the life of the widow is approaching, and God has come to take the widow's life." Taishi, don't say it anymore, let everything go. ”

When Ziwei heard this, he retired with tears, deeply regretting that he could not share the worries of the king, and came to the viewing platform, standing there looking up at the sky, hoping to see a miracle happen, this station stood until the golden crow returned to the nest, and the jade rabbit came out of the nest. Maybe the heavens felt something, and sure enough, the confusion changed, pinched his fingers and calculated, and he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly ran to the palace, what shoes, what hat, completely ignored, and saw

Jing Gong bowed down and said, "The minister takes the liberty to congratulate the king. Although the heavens are very high, the heavens can hear the words of the people of the earth, and the king has said three things that he should say as a monarch, and the heavens will reward the king three times. The minister observed on the observation platform and found some changes, and the minister carefully calculated that the glow must be moved three places tonight, so that the king would prolong his life by twenty-one years. ”

Gong Jing was overjoyed when he heard this, stood up and paced outside the throne, went down the steps to help Ziwei and asked, "This is true, how does Taishi know?" ”

Ziwei confirmed his answer again: "Seriously, the king said three things that he should say as a monarch, and the heavens were moved, so the king will be rewarded three times, and Yingfu will definitely move three places." It takes seven stars to move a place, and one star is equivalent to one year, three seven twenty-one, so the life of the king will be extended by twenty-one years. The minister asked to crouch down under the steps of the palace to observe, and if he did not move, the minister asked to be executed. ”

Jing Gong was overjoyed: "Taishi Mo said that if you don't die, don't lie down, and the widow will observe outside the palace with you." ”

That night, Yingfu really moved three places, the monarch and the ministers were overjoyed, and Jing Gong rewarded Ziwei heavily. In the follow-up, as Ziwei said, Jing Gong was extended by 21 years.

This Song Jinggong is a benevolent and promising monarch, after this heart, he felt the virtue of heaven, and wanted to find a capable person to participate in the government, just heard that there was a skilled craftsman in Huishan, and he inquired but was also a child of the clan, and he was a sage after the eye, and he was overjoyed, so he sent someone to ask him to go out of the mountain to serve the country.

The person who was ordered was the official of the court, drove all the way to search, and saw Zi Jian saying that the king wanted to worship him as a doctor and restore his ancestor to the left teacher.

When Zijian heard this, although he was 100% grateful, he didn't accept it, and said to the person who asked for it: "This time, Lord Lao Sikong has been tired of traveling and driving, and please restore the king's order and thank me for the king's love, but Zijian's wife has just given birth and no one takes care of it, and Zijian is only a carpenter, neither virtue nor talent is enough to take on this important responsibility." ”

That Sikong was in charge of a country's water conservancy and construction, and he was slightly dissatisfied with the king's arrangement of this matter, worried that Zijian would get a piece of the pie, and when he heard Zijian's resignation, he was secretly happy in his heart, but he was still polite: "Mr. Dacai, the king has heard about it, and I have heard it." But it is also true, Mrs. Zun and Prince Ling need to be taken care of. It's just that I regret that I can't be an official in the same dynasty, so I will truthfully reply to the king, hoping that when the prince grows up, Mr. can go to see my king again. ”

"That's very good." Zijian thanked him, "Just let Lord Sikong run away." ”

After some polite concessions, Lord Sikong drove back and truthfully reported to Song Jinggong.

After listening to Sikong's report, Song Jinggong seemed to be talking to himself and seemed to say to Na Sikong: "Zijian can't come, it's a pity." I heard that this son Mr. Jian had traveled around the world, one day to the country of Lu, and learned that there was a skilled craftsman in the country of Nalu, like a public loss, since childhood, he was passed down from a different person, good at civil engineering and architectural design, and fine machine tool making, so he went to visit, the two of them learned skills, and they were not divided between the top and bottom, and were called 'Luban Song Jian'. There was a sigh, "I can't get this stranger, it's a pity!" ”

After listening to Jing Gong's high evaluation of Zijian, Na Sikong felt a fluke in his heart, fortunately Zijian would not come, otherwise his position as Sikong would definitely not be guaranteed.

Besides, Zijian sent the Sikong away, stood outside the door and looked at the distant carriages and horses, until the dust cleared, and did not move for a long time, until dusk, then he sighed and turned back to the courtyard.

The Greek people in the house had already heard the conversation between her husband and the official family, but she knew her husband very well, and when she heard the footsteps, she knew that her husband had returned, and called softly: "Husband, husband! ”

Hearing his wife's greeting, Zijian quickly entered the house and asked what was wrong. Xiren gently patted Zimo who was sleeping with one hand, and pulled Zijian to sit beside him, looked at Zijian and said: "Husband, I heard the conversation between the official and you, the eldest man should be ambitious in all directions, and you have superb skills, you should go to fight for a piece of the world, the four neighbors in the family are kind neighbors, with them, there is no need to worry about our mother and son." ”

Gently brushing his wife's hair, Zijian said: "Madame and Mo'er are my world, with you by your side, this life is enough, and I also want to teach Mo'er a skill, any skill, the foundation is the most important." Besides, I have broken through the world, all over the world princes, the chaos is not long, the princes are ready to move, want to chase the deer Jiuding, right and wrong are difficult to distinguish, if I go out of the mountain, I will make killing, in my heart does not match, in this case, why not accompany his wife and children at home, in order to observe the world's major events. ”

Xiren rested her head on her husband's chest: "Since my husband has made this decision, I won't persuade him much, let's cultivate Mo'er together." ”
