"Shop! You're still buzzing here! Liu Zhen said. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"That is, originally this was just a poor mountain village, with a hundred or so people, but since Master Zheng came, he has brought hundreds of students, and at most there are more than a thousand people. Some of these people live for a year, while others live for two or three years. When these people came, they rented the houses of the villagers. Except for a small number of people who cultivated farmland for Master Zheng, most of the rest were dedicated to studying, so their lives fell on the villagers, and a little money was enough for the villagers. The shopkeeper replied with a smile.

"Excuse me, if we rent it separately, is there a place to buy it?" Liu Zhen asked.

"Since Master Zheng came, someone has opened a grocery store for oil, salt, cloth and cloth here, and everything can be bought there. If the guest officer does not dislike it, the rented house also has some washed and clean quilts available, which can also save a little for the guest officer. The shopkeeper said.

"Is there a quieter place?" Liu Shi asked.

The shopkeeper smiled: "Yes! The guest officer can live in the Zhuangzi or build a shed in the mountain. However, in this way, everything has to be prepared by yourself, and life is inconvenient, so you have to do everything yourself. Most of the students who come here are concentrating on their studies and can only rent in Zhuangzi. ”

After speaking, the shopkeeper pointed to the mountain and said, "Actually, Master Zheng also lives on the mountain, and there is a deserted temple on the top of the hill opposite, and Master Zheng lives there." ”

"Doesn't that student have to climb the mountain every day to ask for advice?" Liu Shi asked a little curiously.

The shopkeeper smiled: "Actually, it's not like this, the students who come here are all after purchasing the scriptures compiled by Master Zheng, and they study hard in their rented rooms, and they usually don't go out, only a few people go up the mountain to ask Master Zheng's disciples for teaching." There is only one exception for the first day of the month, and this day is the time for Master Zheng to teach in person, and all the disciples here will go up to listen to the lectures. ”

As he was talking, the shopkeeper said, "Guest officer! Master Zheng's in-house disciple Zhao Shi has gone down the mountain, and the guest officer can go and ask him about the specific situation. The horses can be left here first, and if the guest officer does not find a suitable house, he can stay here for one night, and we also have a vacant room here. ”

At this time, the sun had set in the west, the golden sunset was sprinkled in the mountain village, and a few children were running in the distance, and under the afterglow of this sun, a thin middle-aged man wearing a one-year Confucian robe and a turban came over.

Liu Shi and Liu Zhen hurriedly greeted each other, bowed and said, "Liu Shi and Liu Zhen pay a visit to Senior Brother Zhao Jun and Zhao." ”

Zhao Shang looked up at the two of them and asked, "Who is under the feet, and why do you call you senior brother?" What is the matter of teaching? ”

Liu Shi took out a letter of recommendation from his bosom and handed it to Zhao Shangdao: "Please Zhao Jun to see the details." ”

Zhao Shang took the brocade book and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Senior Brother Liu's younger brother, and now Senior Brother Liu has taken the word Xuande, congratulations!" Brother Shi wants to worship Master Zheng as a teacher, this matter is very easy, it is late today, tomorrow Brother Shi can go to the school hall on this mountain to sign up. In the future, Shi Xiaodi can also rent this village, or he can find a quiet place in the mountains to build a grass hut to live.

As for the tuition fee, you can give a little money if you have money, no matter how much, if you don't have money, you can help Mr. cultivate a few acres of farmland, and take care of the rest. In the school house, Master Zheng's disciples give lectures every day, and they can choose freely whether they listen or not. Master Zheng starts teaching on the first day of each month, and all disciples can ask their incomprehensible questions to Mr. ”

Liu Shi was overjoyed when he heard this: "Senior Brother Zhao, can you go to the hotel for a drink?" Ask Zhao Shi for specific advice again? ”

Zhao Shang smiled and shook his head and said, "It's getting late today, and there are still people in the family who are looking forward to Yimen, so I won't accompany Junior Brother Shi." After saying that, he walked towards the end of the village.

Liu Shi and the two stayed in the store for one night, and the next day, as soon as the sky was bright, they went to the mountain school hall after breakfast.

The school hall is not far from the village, only more than a mile away, and there is a gravel path leading to a house.

On the top of the mountain, Liu Shi saw clearly that under the clear pine and cypress, several houses were located in the middle. In front of the house, there are a few strong big characters "ploughing and reading", entering the courtyard gate is a large courtyard, the left and right sides are wings, and in front of it is the hall. This room is very large, Liu Shi took a look at it casually, and it can seat about a few hundred people. The wing room on one side is divided into several rooms, and one of the doors has a registry office written on the door.

Liu Zhen knocked on the door a few times, and said inside: "Come in!" At that time, Liu Shi and Liu Zhen raised their feet and went in.

Zhao Shangzheng was kneeling behind a table, saw Liu Shi coming in, and said with a smile: "Little Brother Shi! Lookouts. ”

After Liu Zhen completed the admission procedures, Zhao Shang asked: "There are several kinds of scriptures here: first, you can buy the ones copied by others, and the price of each set of scriptures varies. In addition, you can take a few sets of scriptures and go back to your lodging to copy them yourself. The book is borrowed and must not be damaged. When you have copied it, you can return it without any money. Which one do you choose? ”

Liu Shi said with a smile: "Senior Brother Zhao also knows that our two brothers are only here to understand some truths and learn more, and if you let us concentrate on studying these scriptures, you are a little bit of love for us." Like our eldest brother, we all hope to make contributions on the battlefield, but we don't plan to be a celebrity. Therefore, it is better for us to buy the scriptures that have been copied by others. ”

Zhao Shang applauded and said, "Junior Brother Shi is a fast talker. As the saying goes, we have been studying the scriptures for decades, and we don't dare to call ourselves Confucians, so we can only rely on the teacher's name and mix a bowl of rice to eat, for fear of delaying the children, we must often ask the teacher for advice. However, Brother Shi figured it out, applied what he had learned, fought on the battlefield, and made contributions. Good! Just follow the requirements of Brother Xiaoshi. ”

Then he explained the time and method of teaching again, and Liu Shi and Liu Zhen resigned.

"Childe! How's it going to be here? Liu Zhen pointed to a mountain cliff and a broken grass shed and said to Liu Shi.

"Hmmm! It's not bad here, so be it! It is quiet and the terrain is flat, and it seems that the previous owners of this place also reclaimed this place as a vegetable garden. We only need to level it out a little, and we can use it as a martial arts training ground. Liu Shi replied.

"It's just that it's a little farther away from Zhuangzi and the schoolhouse." Liu Zhendao.

"Two miles from the schoolhouse, three miles from the village, we still have horses, what is the distance? I feel a little closer. Also, it's closer to the mountains, so it's more convenient for us to hunt. Liu Shidao.

"Then how many people shall I find to erect the hut?" Liu Zhendao.

"Hmmm! Find a few more people, faster. You also have to bring all the daily necessities and belongings, so you don't have to run around. Liu Shidao.

In three days, two bedrooms, a living room, a study, a kitchen, and even the latrine were built neatly on the original basis. And level a large field in front of the house, and then the next year's study and life will begin.

When I came to read, of course, I mainly read books, and I felt refreshed by carefully studying the scriptures I had in hand.

After Master Zheng's collation of the annotations of various scriptures, text checking, mainly ancient scriptures, supplemented by modern scriptures, the scriptures are really different, the interpretation of sentence reading, and the analysis of the meaning of words are clearly understood, unlike before, which makes people both suspicious and confused, and do not know what the meaning is.

Liu Shi made friends while studying, and half a year passed in a blink of an eye.

"True brother! How about we go caracal hunting tomorrow? Liu Shidao.

"Good! I heard from the villagers that a few groups of wild boars were found not far from here, so let's go and see, if we can hunt them, we can not only eliminate the harm for the villagers, but also improve the diet, killing two birds with one stone. Liu Zhen said.

Within a few days, someone in this small mountain village reported that the Liu brothers had hunted a few wild boars for several days, the largest of which was a few hundred catties? In addition to sending some to the seniors and Zheng Shi, how many months of food and vegetables did they exchange for?

At this time, two little girls came to the barren mountain where few people have come in the past few months, all of them look like white jade powder, especially the appearance is exactly the same, if it is not for the two of them, one is red, the other is white, it is difficult to recognize.

These two people are the twins left by Zheng Xuan's eldest son, the two granddaughters named Chi Peony and Bai Shao.

"Hmmm! It smells so good! Those two boys will really enjoy it, what is roasted, why is it so fragrant? A little girl said with a wrinkled nose.

"Maybe they're roasting wild boar that hasn't been eaten? It is said that this thing is roasted and more delicious than fried, and it is so fragrant. A little girl said softly.

"How did they hunt such a big boar? It is said that the wild boar is more crazy than the tiger, and they hunt a few of them. Maybe it's really good martial arts, wait until you see them and ask them for advice. The little girl in the red jacket said.

"You, you! I heard that Liu Shi has high martial arts, so I have to come to take a look, and then let my grandfather know that I want you to memorize the scriptures. Another little girl in a white jacket said strangely.

"Sister! Don't you tell your grandfather? You know me, I have a headache when I pick up a book, unlike you who can see the flowers and can't put them down all day. I just like those heroes, how majestic. The little girl in the red jacket begged.

"That's it! All right! I went to talk about it with my grandfather, but! After going to see it, go back as soon as possible, and don't let your grandfather know. "The way of the white jacket.

"That's it! Listen to you. Go check it out and go back. "The way of the red jacket.

The two little girls were watching lightly through the crack in the door, but unexpectedly, there was a humane behind them: "Two of you! Have you seen enough? ”
