The summer dawn in Jingning Mansion is quiet, and people who have worked hard all day are still asleep. A long convoy drove along the main road in the north of the city, and the head sat down with a beautiful young man with a face like a crown of jade, clear eyebrows, red lips and white teeth. I'm afraid that walking down the street with a folding fan will inevitably fascinate thousands of girls.
Around the carriage were the six big men led by Yu Xiangwu, all of whom were raised by the Yu family, all of them tall horses, and everyone had a gangsterism on their faces, so that others had to retreat when they saw it. The carriage was followed by a carriage equipped with food and clothing, and also carried the servants, maids, and bookkeepers who took care of daily life, and the bookkeeper who managed the accounts, and even Lang Zhong, who was seeing a doctor. More than a dozen cars drove to the gate of the city, and Yu Xiangwu stepped forward, took out the codex in his hand, and handed it to the gate guarding the city.
As soon as the city gate saw the people, he hurriedly said enthusiastically, "Second master, is this the mansion going out?" ”
Yu Xiangwu said "yes" without saltiness.
The gatekeeper of the city checked the codex and said to Xiang Wudao, "Since there is the official document imprint of Lord Futai and Lord Garrison, the small one will open the door", and immediately beckoned his subordinates to lower the noose, put the suspension bridge, and "squeak squeak". Seeing that the drawbridge was lowered, Yu Xiang Wu saw that the disciples went up, took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms and threw them to the menzi and said, "Brothers who have worked hard, take it to buy wine for the brothers." ”
"Oh, thank you for the second master's reward, you are good to go" Menzi hurriedly took the silver and held it in his arms.
The convoy slowly drove out of Jingning Mansion along the narrow doorway, the air in the suburbs was a little cool, refreshing, and the weeds on the roadside were still gathering the evening dew. The beautiful boy felt a touch of comfort. Turning his head and asking Yu Xiangwudao, who was guarding the guard, "Second uncle, I heard that the door guarding the door is the most hateful, as long as he enters the city, whether he is a poor family or a rich man, he will be ruthlessly exploited, and if he has no money, he will draw goods to arrive, why are you still so polite to him, if you want me to say, he will not give a penny, if he dares to stop him, he will whip him fiercely" After speaking, he made a whip to whip people.
"Yuan Confucian, since ancient times, "the king of Hades is good, but the little ghosts are difficult", sometimes it is not the big people who are high up and down to do bad things for you, but these inconspicuous little people, they are difficult to do for you, but it is easy for you to do bad things. A few taels of silver to form a good relationship is not harmful. ”
"Hehe, Xiang Wu is right." There was a hearty laugh in the carriage, and then the carriage curtain was opened, and an old man with fine eyes and a gray beard appeared when he bowed down, not Yu Zhenyue but who was "Yuan Ru, in terms of learning, you are higher than your second uncle, if you want to talk about the truth of being a man and doing things, you have to learn more from your second uncle, Zeng Guofan Zeng Dashuai also said to me, this world should focus on the big picture, start small, that is, don't ignore the small things around you, small people, start from a small place to do big things, can you remember?." ”
The beautiful young man said respectfully, "Yes, grandpa, Yuan Ru has been taught." ”
Yu Zhenyue said, "After you enter Beijing, if you ask your second uncle more, you only need to concentrate on studying, if there is something that cannot be solved, you can find you Qian Yingpu Grandpa Qian, and Liu Jintang Liu's family members who stayed in the capital, I have written to them, and they will take care of you." ”
"Yes, Grandpa."
"Xiang Wu, tell everyone that the convoy will stop when it reaches Shilipu, and we will send it to Shilipu."
"Yes, uncle," Yu Xiangwu rode around the convoy and told the family who saw him off, "The convoy stops at Shilipu, and the convoy stops at Shilipu." ”
Shilipu, the traffic artery on the road that Jingning Mansion must pass through from south to north, the carriage and horse shop on both sides of the avenue, the rest shop, and the wine inn. Yu's family convoy came here, and the send-off personnel got off one after another, Yu's father Xiang Fan, Yu's mother Guo Xuejia, took his son's hand and didn't listen, and Yu's mother cried and complained that her father-in-law shouldn't send such a young son away. A lean old man with a stick walked from the back of the convoy, Yu Yuanru hurriedly comforted his mother, and greeted the old man and said, "Grandpa." ”
The person who came was none other than the Guo family of several generations of scholars in Jingning Mansion, Guo Tingwu. Several generations of the Guo family have never stopped raising people, and they also produced Jinshi in the Daoguang period, which can be described as a first-class Jinshi in Jingning Mansion. When Yu Zhenshan asked his son to marry the daughter of the Guo family, it was also a lot of trouble and touched the old nose. On the one hand, Guo Tingwu looked down on the birth of Yu Zhenshan's big head soldier, and felt that it was Xiucai who met the soldier, and he couldn't explain it reasonably. The two Guo Tingwu looked down on Yu Xiangfan's unscrupulous work and did not want to forge ahead. It was Yu Zhenyue who invited the celebrities and gentry of Hunan Province to take turns to persuade him, and spent a lot of money and energy to solve the practical difficulties of the Guo family, so that Guo Tingwu reluctantly nodded. And the enlightened teacher of the young man Yu Yuanru is Guo Tingwu himself, which shows how important family learning is.
"Yuan Ru, I have a letter here to the Hanlin Academy to edit Peng Qichang Peng Hanlin, you can find him with a letter after you arrive in the capital, Peng Hanlin and I were in the middle of the school, there is a friendship with classmates, over the years there have been correspondence to discuss knowledge, is a close friend in my book, if you have any questions about learning, you can ask him."
Yu Yuanru said happily: "Thank you, grandfather." ”
"Yuan Confucian, after entering Beijing, don't be greedy for fun, you need to know that your karma is ridiculous, and you must be diligent in your studies every day, and you will be self-conscious."
Yu Yuanru listened to his grandfather's preaching, and said helplessly, "Knowing my grandfather, I must follow my grandfather's teachings and study hard every day."
After the Yu family and the elders and relatives of the Guo family came to see each other, Yu Zhenyue said to Xiang Wu and his party, "Let's go, pay attention to safety on the road." He said to Yuan Ru, "Yuan Ru, remember what grandpa said." ”
"Remember, grandpa."
"Okay, pay attention to safety all the way, and someone will arrange it after you arrive in Beijing."
Yu Yuanru waved goodbye to his family, and more than a dozen carriages drove forward in turn, watching the carriage go away, Yu's mother cried and cried, and ran towards the carriage, "Shouting, Yuan'er, take care of your body, if you don't study well in the capital, come back early." ”
Yu Yuanru waved goodbye and said, "Don't worry, mother!" ”
It's really a child's mother who is worried that the ancients had difficult transportation and poor medical conditions, and if they say goodbye, they may not know what year and month they can see, so the Tang Dynasty has so many farewell verses, "This place is a farewell, and the lonely canopy is a thousand miles away", "The husband is not without tears, and he does not spill the parting room", "I look at it and break my bowels, so I don't look back." ""Sending each other is infinite, and the placket is more than scattered silk" "Please ask the eastward flowing water, don't you care who is short and long?" ”
Countless parting poems can't tell the sorrow of parting, and the Yu family watched the convoy disappear into the vast wilderness, and did not leave for a long time, and the Yu family was sad. Yu Yuanru also had some tears, he dried his tears, excited, and some expectations for the future. He finally escaped from the confines of the elders and entered a new world, smelling a glimmer of free air.
In a resting inn in Shilipu, there was indeed a pair of eyes, staring at the parting crowd, when the two sides said goodbye to the distance, he settled the house money, led a yellow horse, and beat the horse to the west.
