Chapter 20: Drunken and Down

The next morning, as soon as it was light, the eldest grandson Hong woke up, and as usual, the eldest grandson brothers had already gone out to do their mysterious things. Zhang cooked the meal, let the eldest grandson Hong finish eating, put two cucumbers in the blanket for lunch, and went out with school things on his back.

Outside the Li Guanren mansion, seeing the huge house again, the eldest grandson Hong couldn't help but sigh again, it turned out that the ancients wrote in the poem: "Zhumen wine and meat stink, the road has frozen bones", it is not an exaggeration at all, there are more than 100 households in the village, there are few brick houses, this Li Guanren's family is rich, just the pair of stone lions in front of the door, take it and sell it for money, I am afraid that it can make any farmer eat for several months.

For the net worth of this Li official Li Xian, Changsun Hong couldn't help but have a strong interest, can he accumulate such a big wealth with land alone? How did he get his hands on the land?

I stayed outside the door and thought stupidly for a while, until a long-term worker opened the door and came out, and saw him waiting outside the door to let him in, so he stopped thinking nonsense.

Familiar with the way into the library, the three brothers of the Li family have not yet come, there is no one in the house, the eldest grandson Hong saw that it was still early, and it was inconvenient to go outside to play tricks, bored, simply took out the inkstone ink strip papyrus, and wrote and painted at will.

Holding his cheeks, the eldest grandson recalled everything about this era in his mind, now should be the time of the Southern Song Dynasty Lizong, this faint monarch should have just succeeded to the throne for less than two years, when the prime minister of the dynasty, it is the power of Shi Miyuan, this guy is powerful, for the prime minister for 26 years, after two dynasties, the power is perfect, and the previous minister Han was surprised, and the emperor was in his pocket.

Oh, what the hell is going on with me? I'm not an official.

The eldest grandson shook his head and began to think about the way to make a fortune. It seems very difficult to make money legally, tax is an unavoidable threshold, and there is also the exploitation of officials, there is no backer, how can it be done?

And where does the money go? The Mongols are coming in about ten years, and now they are concentrating on dealing with the Jin Kingdom, Shi Miyuan's stupid boy is happily preparing to attack Jin, this nerd, I don't want to think about the truth of cold lips and teeth.

When the time comes, China will be full of beacons, and there will be no place to be peaceful, even if you have thousands of family wealth, where to hide?

After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't have a clue, and I was worried, but I saw someone at the door probing his brain, it was Li Wu.

Seeing the eldest Sun Hong raise his head, Li Wu retracted his head with a "brush".

A moment later, led by Li Wen, the three village gentlemen walked in together, and the red marks on Li Wu's face were still red and did not fade.

The three of them ignored Changsun Hong, each sat in their own positions, and from time to time put their heads together and whispered together, and also took their eyes to look at Changsun Hong, and Changsun Hong turned a blind eye.

After a while, the door sounded the signature square steps of Master Zhou, and the four children immediately sat down in an orderly manner, and the eldest grandson Hong put his ankle under his ass in pain, and his head was full of green tendons, he really didn't understand why this Master Zhou had to use this kneeling way to teach.

As soon as he entered the door, he didn't wait to sit down, he put on a straight face, and shouted in a bad mood: "Hin in yesterday's homework." ”

Li Wen and the three of them immediately became happy, and they exchanged heads and ears, and while walking up to hand in their homework, they grimaced at the eldest grandson Hong.

The eldest grandson didn't care, who was scared by the childlike grimace, he sat up straight and began to dig out the straw paper he had written last night from his coat.

"Master, the student has something to report." Li Wen stood up solemnly and shouted to Master Zhou, who was sorting out the books.

"Say." Master Zhou raised his head and looked at him.

"Master, after the student left school yesterday afternoon, he saw Changsun Hong with the dog in the village, and went to his house to stay."

"Oh?" Master Zhou's eyebrows furrowed, and his eyes were extremely stern in an instant.

Li Wen was secretly happy, and then said: "The dog's family made trouble with the deputy security guard last night, and it was a big battle, and I heard that it was a tax resistance and non-payment. ”

This sentence added fuel to the fire, making Zhou Fuzi's brows furrow tightly into the word "Sichuan", and his face became red with anger, he put down the book and looked at Changsun Hong.

Eldest Sun Hong snorted coldly in his heart, staring at Li Wen and narrowing his eyes: No wonder these three people don't want to take revenge today, how can they be so easy to obey, it turns out that they are thinking of borrowing a knife to kill people.

Without waiting for him to answer, Master Zhou spoke first, he touched the ring ruler on the table, and asked in a deep voice: "Eldest Sun Hong, is there such a thing?" ”

"Yes, it does." The eldest grandson replied generously, anyway, the whole village has seen this, and it is useless to lie.

"Good! I didn't go back to study and learn calligraphy after school, and I was in the company of naughty boys, but the master taught me. Zhou Fuzi asked angrily.

"The Master has not taught." Eldest Sun Hong replied respectfully.

"That naughty boy called a dog, the family is making trouble against taxes, why did you go to participate? It must be known that the sage said that if the country has no taxes, the army is not strong, and if the army is not strong, the world is in danger. It is the principle of heaven for the people to pay taxes, how can you not even understand this when you read the books of the sages! The Master became angry and began to blow his beard.

"The master taught, and the students dare not forget." The eldest grandson Hong bowed and replied: "But the family actually did not resist taxes, and later clarified that Deputy Li Baozheng did not arrest anyone, so he left." ”

"Even so, you shouldn't waste your time, the homework that the Master gave you yesterday is so difficult for you, you don't go back and think hard, but you play on the way, it is very undeserved." Zhou Fuzi heard that it was not a tax resistance, but he softened some colors, but he still said sharply: "What about your homework?" If you don't finish it, come and get the ring ruler! ”

Li Wen and the three of them looked at Changsun Hong gloatingly, their mouths were grinning to the root of their ears, if it weren't for Master Zhou's presence, they were afraid that they would laugh.

Hahaha, thinking that Changsun Hong was beaten by Master Zhou with the largest ring ruler, and then couldn't hold chopsticks for three days, Li Wen and the others were so happy that they forgot about themselves.

"Here's the lesson." Changsun Hong's calm words liberated the happy Li Wen and others from their joyful obscenity, and then with a surprised expression, he watched Changsun Hong hand a piece of paper full of words to Master Zhou's desk.

Li Wen and the others looked at each other, disappointed, and their faces were full of the appearance of a boiled duck flying.

Zhou Fuzi was also slightly surprised, let the eldest grandson Hong compose the lyrics, to be honest, it was a little difficult for him, for this student, to be honest, Zhou Fuzi has no interest in teaching, the so-called art industry has a specialization, reading is to talk about understanding, the farmer's son forcibly wants to read, so what do you want a scholar to do?

Accepting the piece of paper, Master Zhou didn't look at it, so he sent Changsun Hong back to sit down, and then took the four of them to read "The Mean", said the scriptures and meanings, and after listening to the eldest Sun Hong's big head, he looked at it and saw that it was almost noon, so he let the four of them practice calligraphy, and he himself sat back on the side of the square and began to watch the homework of the four people.

Li Wen and the three of them put their lyrics on it, and as always, they could see that Master Zhou's seven tricks were smoking, and the hand that was placed on the ring ruler was getting tighter and tighter.

Li Wen and the others wrote with fear, waiting for Master Zhou's anger to rise to the peak.

According to common sense, when he saw Changsun Hong's homework, it should have been time.

Sure enough, when he picked up the straw paper that was much inferior to the paper used by Li Wen and others, Zhou Fuzi squeezed the hand of the ring ruler and suddenly let go, and the ring ruler fell to the ground with a "snap".

"Drunk?"

In the quiet study room, everyone heard Master Zhou's soft muttering to himself.
