Liu Zhang looked at Xu County, which was close at hand, and said to Xun You: "Gongda, is homesickness urgent?" ”

Xun You said: "My father died early, and my widow lived at home, but fortunately I was supported by the elders of the clan, and I didn't have to worry about food and clothing. A year ago, the uncles in the clan began to rebuild the academy that was seriously damaged by the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and when the academy reopened half a year ago to recruit students, I went back to my hometown to visit relatives. ”

Liu Zhang couldn't help but think of a poem in the textbook of later generations, and opened his mouth to chant: "The line in the mother's hand, the wanderer's shirt; Before leaving, I am afraid that I will return late; Whoever says an inch is careless, and he will be rewarded with three springs! ”

Xu Huang was shocked when he heard this, thinking that he had been out for two years, and had almost cut off contact with his family for two years, at this time he couldn't help but think of his elderly father and silver-haired mother, maybe they were leaning against the door at this time, looking forward to their son coming home! "Father, mother, don't worry, the child is about to get ahead, and soon the child will take your second elder to his side......"

Xu Chu also remembered that the night before he left, his father and brother stopped him and said in the middle of the night, taking care of the matters he needed to pay attention to when he went out over and over again......

Xun You felt the deepest, Liu Zhang's "Wanderer's Yin" all said to his heart, he has been brought up by his mother since he lost his father since he was a child, as he grew up, his mother is getting older day by day, but he is an official outside all the year round, and he can't serve on the side, it's really a big unfilial piety! Thinking of his widowed mother, he just wanted to appear by his mother's side immediately, burn his mother's feet, and listen to his mother's nagging......

It's that Dian Wei's family is together at the moment, and they don't have much feeling.

Xu Chu's heart calmed down a little, and said: "Childe, these words are really good, is this a poem?" But how does it sound different from the poetry books that my eldest brother often reads? ”

"Yes, these are the few words I wrote when I saw a soldier leaving home and going to the battlefield in Luoyang in the early years, and they are not poems!" Liu Zhang shamelessly took this famous song "The Wanderer's Yin", which has been passed down through the ages and has made countless travelers sad, as his own, and actually said what "idle" words, I don't know if Mr. Meng Xiao will sue him for infringement and slander if he knows it in the future!

Xun You said: "These few lines of poems written by the son are sincere, expressing the homesickness of people who have traveled away from home in my generation, and I can't help but cry, I don't know if this poem has a name?" ”

"This poem is called the Wanderer's Yin!"

"The wanderer chanted, and sure enough, I chanted out the homesickness and homesickness of my generation! At this moment, I can't wait to get wings under my ribs and return to my mother's side immediately! Xun Yu said.

"Gongda, I have a reluctant request, I hope you can agree!"

"Childe, please speak!"

Liu Zhang said: "I hope Gongda can suppress homesickness a little, I will wait for a little rest in Xu County, and after I take a bath and change clothes, I will go to visit Xun's Gaocai, otherwise it will be too abrupt and rude!" He understood that literati had a bad temper and a strong sense of self-esteem, and that if he didn't show enough respect, it would be more difficult to win them over.

Of course, Xun You also understood the meaning of this, not to mention that it was not bad for this night, so he said: "Everything is according to the son's orders!" ”

Liu Zhang said: "Then I won't be close to people once, Gongda Mo is weird!" ”

A group of people should have entered Xu County, Xun Yu as a native of Yingchuan, Xu County has also been to many times, he led the way, and the group found a clean inn to live in, Liu Zhang and others did not pay attention to the fact that the signboard of the inn only has two words - Xun's.

This night, after Liu Zhang learned from the ancients to fast and shower, he left the inn when it was about to dawn and went to Yingyin.

The Yingchuan Xun family is huge and rich. Let's talk about people first, it is said that there are tens of thousands of people in the entire Xun clan, and the slaves are even more innumerable, and almost one out of five people in the entire Yingchuan County is working directly or indirectly for the Xun clan; Speaking of wealth, to paraphrase a sentence in later generations, "Li Ka-shing no matter which shopping mall in Hong Kong spends, the spending ends up in his own pocket", of course, this is a bit exaggerated, but this is applied to Yingchuan Xun's, no one will think there is any problem, more than half of the businesses in Yingchuan County are owned by just one name - Xun's! And this is still after the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the Xun family was seriously damaged, if before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, it can be said that the county guard of Yingchuan County saw the Xun family and treated them as guests, if they wanted to collect taxes, they almost didn't have to find others, as long as the Xun family paid in full, the task of collecting taxes in a county would be completed.

Xun Yu, as a descendant of the Xun family, is said to be a wealthy family and a servant like rain, but on the contrary, the place where Xun Yu lives is not much different from ordinary medium-sized families except for the quiet environment.

According to Xun You, Xun's mother hoped that her son would have a great future, so when Xun Yu was very young, she imitated the story of Meng's mother's three moves, moved her family out of Xun's mansion, and chose a deserted place on the outskirts of the city to build a courtyard, so that Xun Yu could not be disturbed by the outside world and concentrate on his studies. Xun's mother is diligent and thrifty, planting flowers, plants, fruits and vegetables around the yard, and taking care of them herself, except for meat, everything can almost be self-sufficient.

Knowing these circumstances, Liu Zhang felt that it seemed a little reckless for such a large group of people to go, in case Xun's mother was annoyed, wouldn't it be a pity that Wang Zuozhi couldn't be used by me? Let Xu Chu and Dian Wei's family temporarily go to the city to find an inn to rest, and after visiting Xun Yu, he entered the city to meet him, and he and Xu Huang together, under the leadership of Xun Yu, after a "search for secrets", finally appeared outside the door of Xun Yu's mansion.

Liu Zhang tidied up his clothes, and then asked Xun You to call the door.

Soon, a four-foot boy opened the door, saw that it was Xun You with a slight smile on his face, stepped out of the door and stepped aside, and bowed: "It turned out to be Mr. Gongda, the villain is far away, Mr. forgiveness!" ”

"It doesn't matter! Can the clan uncle be in the house? ”

The boy said: "Back to Mr. Hui's words, the young master is studying in the house!" ”

"That's fine, you go and spread the word that a distinguished guest is coming!"

The boy glanced at Liu Zhang and the others, and bowed down the stairs and said: "The villain has seen all the distinguished guests, my son-in-law does not know that the distinguished guests are coming, and he has not been able to greet them, please surprise the distinguished guests!" ”

Liu Zhang replied with a half-salute and said, "Where, where!" The little brother is serious, please give me a shout, Jiangxia Liu Zhang's heart admires Mr. Wenruo's great virtue, and he is here to visit! ”

"Yes, Liu Gongzi, please wait, the villain will go and inform my son-in-law!" The boy bowed and walked back to the courtyard.

After a while, a man in a blue shirt walked out of the courtyard with a warm smile.

Xun You introduced the three of them on the side.

Liu Zhang knew that Confucian people paid the most attention to etiquette, so he put his left hand in front of his chest and bent his waist at 30 degrees according to what he learned from the book in his previous life.

Xun Yu also returned the salute according to Confucian etiquette, and then invited everyone into the house.

Liu Zhang's pedestrian door is left, Xun Yu's pedestrian door is right.

After entering the courtyard, they turned to face each other, Liu Zhang bent his waist forty-five degrees and bowed twice, and Xun Yu replied.

There are two fine stone paved paths in the courtyard, Liu Zhang and others walk on the left path, Xun Yu walks on the right path, to the front of the eaves, Liu Zhang bows to the forehead, bows 90 degrees, and bows three times, Xun Yu will naturally not lose the number of courtesies.

In the hall, after resigning and pleased, Liu Zhang sat west and faced east, Xun Yu sat east and sat west, and Xu Huang and Xun Yu sat down under Liu Zhang. Seeing this situation, Xun Yu's face showed a strange look, it stands to reason that Xun Yu, as his nephew, is counted as half a master, and should be seated with the master, but now he is in the guest position, which obviously means that he is Liu Zhang's person at the moment.
