Seeing that the grandfather stopped eating after taking a bite, Aunt Zhao was a little nervous, thinking that it was not to the grandfather's appetite, and asked in a low voice: "Grandpa, otherwise I will make something else for you?" ”

"No, it's delicious." Lin Yuan shook his head and asked curiously, "How did this thing work?" ”

Seeing that the grandfather was not angry, Aunt Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "It was originally a miscellaneous grain eaten at home, and in the past few days, Brother Cai has sent a lot of children and is worried that he will not eat well, so he sent some white noodles over, but they are all from poor families, how can they be so particular, but after all, they are afraid of wronging the children, so they mixed the miscellaneous grains and white flour to make some cakes." ”

"It tastes good, and sometimes it's not good to eat too much refined grain." Lin Yuan nodded, looked at the sweet children who ate it, and instantly felt a lot more comfortable, so he drank a lot of soup on the cake.

As soon as I put down the dishes and chopsticks, I heard a knock on the door, Aunt Zhao hurriedly got up to see who came to the door, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw an old man standing at the door and said, "Uncle Lin." ”

The old man nodded, glanced at Aunt Zhao, and asked, "Grandpa is still inside?" ”

Aunt Zhao nodded and said, "Yes, I just finished eating." ”

"That's good, I thought you would be abrupt Grandpa, in fact, Grandpa's family education is strict, and he doesn't pay so much attention to it." Muramasa said a word and walked towards the house.

Lin Yuan had seen Muramasa a few times, and he was still a little impressed, so he said, "Uncle Lin." ”

"Don't dare to be, grandpa." Mura Zheng hurriedly waved his hand, but Lin Yuan still said: "You are an old man, and you have fought in my Yasukuni Mansion for most of your life, and you deserve the title of uncle of the younger generation." ”

Seeing that Lin Yuan couldn't be defeated, Muramasa had no choice but to give up and asked, "Grandpa is going to spend the night in Zhuangzi." ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said with a smile: "I've been out for a long time, there are too many things, I want to hide in Zhuangzi." ”

"Grandpa has been working hard, it's time to take a good rest, so I'll arrange for someone to clean up the yard." Murazheng said, just about to turn around, he was grabbed by Lin Yuan, and when he saw him, he said: "Just let Cai Quan go, you accompany me to the workshop for a walk." ”

"At this time, everyone is home, and there is no one in the workshop, so why don't you go to the treasury to have a look." Muramasa said.

Lin Yuan thought about it, nodded, and walked towards the warehouse with the village, this warehouse was built according to Lin Yuan's intentions, covering a relatively large area, and said hello to the guards, the village took out a large set of keys and opened three doors before entering the warehouse.

Lin Yuan had been nodding secretly about the protection of the warehouse before he came in, and there were many people patrolling around. The village is lighting the candles, looking at the warehouse that is gradually lighting up, it is Lin Yuan who is used to seeing glass in his previous life, and it is also a little dazzling at the moment, the glass products in the warehouse are of different shapes, shining under the refraction of the candle flame. If you let outsiders see it, you will be amazed.

"After the winter of this year, after the completion of our glass workshop, we have been hoarding goods according to the will of my grandfather, from supplies to furnishings, we are also doing tricks." Muramasa explained.

"Does an outsider know?" Lin Yuan asked.

"The bottles we use to hold wine have been suspected, because foreign businessmen in the capital said that they couldn't make this kind of glass, and then there were several people who came to investigate, but they were all blocked back by Zhuangzi." Muramasa said.

"Pay attention to safety, don't leave some utensils, don't hurt your life." Lin Yuan instructed, sometimes people are worth more than things.

Seeing that the grandfather was satisfied, Muramasa seemed to remember something, and took out a box from the shelf inside, after Lin Yuan opened it, he saw that it was a set of cups, took out one and looked at it carefully, and saw that it was in the shape of a mouse, and looked at Muramasa curiously and asked, "This is?" ”

"Grandpa, this is made by the people sent by President Zhang a few times ago, the craftsmanship is excellent, but only this set is made, there are too many other defective products, this set of cups has a total of twelve cups, which are made according to the zodiac, and I think about it, this thing may be used by Grandpa." Muramasa explained.

Lin Yuan looked at the cup in his hand, and thought about it, he was indeed useful, the small animals on this set of cups were made vividly, it was best to give Li Xun a gift, and it would be her birthday in a while.

Seeing that the grandfather was satisfied, the village was also happy, since the grandfather began to build a workshop on the Zhuangzi, the life of the people in the village has improved a lot, in the villages around Gyeonggi is a rare rich village, in the past, where did you dare to think, the village people only know to work hard all day to repay the grandfather, but the village knows that this is not the original intention of the Yasukuni Gong.

After the last time this set of cups was made, he tried his best to keep it, and it seems that his grandfather also likes it very much. Lin Yuan glanced around the warehouse and asked, "Do we have a nice vase here?" ”

Muramasa frowned and thought for a while: "Not yet, what style does Grandpa want, I'll think of a way." ”

Lin Yuan said: "In this case, in a few days, I will have someone send you the drawings, and you can see if you can do it according to the style." Lin Yuan suddenly remembered that Li Qingqian seemed to like flowers and plants very much in addition to cooking. This is also one of the reasons why she was able to talk to Concubine Ling during this time.

"Got it, grandpa."

Looking at other products, Lin Yuan turned around and left, and returned to the courtyard, Lin Yuan always felt that there was something missing in the Zhuangzi, but he couldn't think of it for a while, just lying down, a wave of sleepiness hit, and Lin Yuan fell asleep in a blink of an eye.

Early the next morning, Lin Yuan woke up early, stretched in the yard, Lin Yuan dressed neatly and began to walk in the Zhuangzi, when he walked to Aunt Zhao's yard yesterday, he saw two children squatting on the ground and drawing something with branches, Lin Yuan leaned over, saw that he was practicing calligraphy, and asked with some curiosity: "You are literate?" ”

The two children were startled by Lin Yuan, who suddenly appeared behind them, threw the branches aside, stood up, didn't know what to say, maybe it was the smile on Lin Yuan's face, and a slightly older child said: "Hello grandpa, the words are made by my mother." ”

"What's your name and where did you come from?" Lin Yuan asked.

The child thought for a while and said, "My name is Lu Fang, this is my younger brother Lu Qing, and we are the Huijiren clan." ”

Lin Yuan nodded, Huiji is a county that has been more seriously affected this time, there are many dead and injured people, looking at the two children are still a little nervous, Lin Yuan asked with a smile: "Is there anyone in your family anymore?" ”

Lu Fang's eyes darkened, and he shook his head and said, "There are only two left, me and my brother." ”

Lin Yuan was silent, glanced at the words of the two children on the ground, although they were a little immature, but after all, they were written on the ground, after all, Lin Yuan asked Lu Fang to take his younger brother back first, and he turned around and walked to the village house.

"What? You said you want to run a college? Mura Zheng looked at Lin Yuan in disbelief.

Seeing that Muramasa was a little excited, Lin Yuan motioned for him to sit down and explain, explaining, "It's always good to read more. ”

"Grandpa, I understand this old man, it's not that I haven't thought about running a school, but it's hard to find a teacher." Muramasa smiled bitterly.

"Mr. Teaching, I'll figure out a way, you can discuss with the people in the village, all the children in the Zhuangzi will be exempted from tuition, and the children sent by Miss Li during this time will also be free." Lin Yuan said.

"Isn't this a bit of a big expense, after all, it's not a small amount of money." Muramasa hesitated and said that it was difficult to understand that there was no charge for running a school.

"Reading is for sensibility, and it has never been a way to make money." Lin Yuan said, glancing at Muramasa, "You go down to do this first, I will find Mr. Teaching in a few days, you don't have to worry about the rest, you can withdraw it from my mansion as soon as you apply it." ”

Seeing that Lin Yuan had made up his mind, Muramasa couldn't say anything, so he could only nod yes. Lin Yuan was thinking about where to find some teachers, in this dynasty, the status of scholars was extremely high, and generally only wealthy families could invite erudite scholars to teach, which was why ordinary people had no ability to provide education for their children.

The opening of the academy is also because after seeing the two Lu Fang brothers today, Lin Yuan remembered what he had forgotten to do, the Zhuangzi under the name of the Yasukuni Duke could not always engage in simple labor work, and he could not see the shortage of people at the moment, and it would be too late to realize it, so he had to make some preparations in advance.

After returning to the courtyard, before he sat down, he saw Cai Quan running in from outside the door, seeing Cai Quan's expression a little anxious, Lin Yuan frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Cai Quan took a breath and said, "Young master, I just received the news that the old lady of the Shi family has come to the house." ”

"The old lady of the Shi family?" Lin Yuan was a little puzzled, and after thinking about it carefully, he asked, "Is it a historian from Jiangsu and Zhejiang?" ”

"Yes, young master, Uncle Lin asked me to tell you, the old lady of the Shi family saw that you were not in the mansion and came to Zhuangzi." Cai Quan said.

Lin Yuan was a little puzzled at this time, he had almost no intersection with the Shi family, the old lady of the Shi family was not at home for a long time, and he chased after Zhuangzi in order to see him, I was afraid that there was something urgent, "Is there anyone else?" ”

"And the Marquis of Huaiyin." Cai Quan replied.

At this moment, on the way to Zhuangzi, the Marquis of Huaiyin was still silently apologizing to Lin Yuan in his heart, the status of the Shi family was transcendent, even if he was a nobleman, but he did not dare to offend the Shi family easily, today the old lady of the Shi family came to visit in person, and after hearing the meaning, Zhang Gu was embarrassed to refuse Shi Yu, so he pushed Lin Yuan out.

Shi Yu, who was already curious about Lin Yuan, decided to meet Lin Yuan, and when he learned that Lin Yuan went to Zhuangzi, he went with Zhang Gu, he was very interested in this place that constantly produces new things, and hoped that there would be some different harvests today.

Lin Yuan instructed Cai Quan a few words, let the village work normally, and go to greet Shi Yu in person, he wanted to see what the Shi family had planned today.

Shi Ju is already at an advanced age, that is, ordinary people no longer need to salute officials at his age, let alone a behemoth like the Shi family.

Although it has reached the end of the year, the Zhuangzi of the Yasukuni Mansion is different from other places, it is still a hot scene, although it is blocked by the courtyard wall, but the shouting inside can still be heard, Shi Ju thought in his heart, it seems that Lin Yuan has made Zhuangzi completely changed.

The carriage stopped, and the old butler reported outside the car: "Master, the Duke of Yasukuni is here." ”

Shi Ju got up slowly, got out of the car with the support of the old housekeeper, and when he looked up, he saw a young face looking at him with a smile on his face. Lin Yuan bowed and saluted, "I've seen the old lady." ”

Shi Jue replied with a smile: "Haha, it's rare to have an honorific title from the Duke of Yasuko." ”

Lin Yuan shook his head and said, "The old man, and the old man." The old lady is my big Zhou pillar stone, and she deserves the honorific title of the younger generation. ”

"The old man, and the old man?" Shi Ju repeated Lin Yuan's words with some doubts, and after savoring them, he laughed and said: "The Duke of Yasukuni is really talented, but the pillar of the country in the latter sentence is exempt, and the old man still wants to live for two more years." ”

Lin Yuan was a little annoyed, he forgot that no one in this world had ever said this, and after laughing a few times, he led Shi Ju towards the small courtyard.

Just sat down, after Cai Quan served the tea, Lin Yuan glanced at Zhang Gu who was sitting on the side, and when he saw that he shook his head, he knew that Shi Ju was not good at coming today, and said with a smile: "I didn't come to visit the south some time ago, and I ask the old lady to forgive me." ”

"You have official business, it doesn't matter if you don't come to see the old man, but your affairs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are beautiful." Shi Ju glanced at Lin Yuan with a smile.

"The younger generation is just messing around, how can he be praised by the old lady." Lin Yuan waved his hand.

"How things are done, the court has its own decision, and it is useless for the old man to say too much. But there is one thing that the old man is a little concerned about. Shi Jue said with a smile.

Lin Yuan's heart sank, and he really came, but he didn't know what it was, but he thought that there shouldn't be any trivial matter as a historian, and he had caught up with him. Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and said, "Please also ask the old lady to make it clear." ”
