The first snow in winter slowly fell on the small village of Shenhe Bay, the snow was at the beginning of the day, the sun shone on the thin snow on the residual lotus, and the center of the withered yellow leaves held a jade bowl-sized crystal ice cube slices were particularly dazzling, but the reflected sunlight seemed to have been cooled by ice and snow, making people look at it and not feel warm.

Xiao Zheng's home was a little more solemn, the master's anniversary day had arrived, the sacrifices were ready, and the villagers in the village also arrived in the courtyard one after another.

So on behalf of the old man, Gong Hui and the villagers went out to the Master's cemetery, and the path leading from the foot of the hill to the Master's grave had already been paved with stones by the enthusiastic villagers.

Climbed the stairs to the tomb, lit the incense candle and knelt down with Jin'er and bowed respectfully, remembering that last year, the master's voice and smile were still there, the old man went to Li Min to go to the soup and fire, regarded the selected children as his own, and taught the disciples he received, and even after his death, the kind old man who taught him earnestly was still mentioning himself in his dream, remembering that the master was very sour in his heart.

Jin'er cried in her ears, gently patted Jin'er's back, comforted Jin'er in a low voice, and helped her up from the ground.

After the snow, the sky was blue, and the thin snow covered the withered yellow grass, and the north wind blew through the dead branches that stretched out of the snow, whining. Standing in front of Master's tomb, you can see the small village of Shenhe Bay at the foot of the mountain, and when it is time to eat, smoke rises from the roofs of every house.

Gong Hui, who was standing beside Xiao Zheng, suddenly said: "Although the village of Shenhewan is small, the feng shui is excellent, the mountains are staggered, the water color is clear, the people's hearts are simple and the ethics are strict, the village has fields to cultivate and water to fish, and this river flows out of the valley and is arranged in the Big Dipper, and the village falls in the bucket, and the round mountain behind the village is like a full moon, which has presented an auspicious pattern of 'seven stars with the moon'." Your master's cemetery is also lit in the front, and there is a back, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the place where this cemetery is located is the location of the dark star 'Yaoguang' star on the edge of the Big Dipper, and the feng shui of the yin house is excellent."

Xiao Zheng looked at Gong Yi Hui in amazement, this is the most time he has listened to him since he saw Gong Yi Hui, Gong Yi Ruoyi and Gong Yi and Gong Hui have very similar personalities, talking endlessly, while Gong Yi Hui is usually silent, very interesting grandfather and grandson.

"Uncle Hui, do you know the art of Kanyu?" Xiao Zheng asked.

"I know a little bit about it", but the confident expression on Gongyi's face betrayed him.

"Do you know physiognomy?"

"No!" The public loses Hui Hui.

After going down the mountain, I told the villagers that there was a kang and stove in the house this year, and the babies would not stop classes to avoid the cold. When he returned home, Xiao Zheng took out the drawings of the two Zhuangzi he had drawn and asked Gonghui for advice, and Gonghui said his opinion and said nothing.

After eating, Gong Yi asked Xiao Zheng, "Boy, has someone shown you feng shui at your master's tomb?" ”

"I found someone to see it, and when my master was buried in peace, the villagers thought the place was good, so they buried his old man's house like this."

The father and son looked at each other, and the man smiled and said: "Your master's reputation The old man has also heard of it in the great cause years, it seems that this person who cultivates good fortune will be blessed, this is true, no wonder your master and apprentice both live here, after we entered the village, we felt that there was a Zhong Yu Lingxiu in this village, and the old man didn't want to leave after living for a long time."

Xiao Zheng said after listening: "Old man, your legs are also good, the place where you live is warm and warm, the boy's cooking skills are also good, two taels of wine and a drink every day, my son is waiting for my life, I am tired of chatting with Wang Quan and Mr. Xiao, I don't want to leave if I change me, if you want to stay, stay for a year, it's okay, no one will drive you away."

"Hey! You kid, you think you're in a heavenly fairyland, you know how many big families in the capital invite people from my father-in-law's losers to come over, and ordinary people don't bother to pay attention to it! My son, don't look at it and don't say anything, just the few words that you just gave Shenhewan and Li Zhuang to order, if you don't change your money, you are still not satisfied......."

After dinner in the evening, Gong Yi called Xiao Zheng over and said, "Boy, the old man has been living with you for almost a month, and you have been cured of this disease, and we will go back tomorrow."

After listening to this, Xiao Zheng hurriedly said: "Old man, don't take the joke I said during the day."

Gong Yi smiled and said: "The old man knows, where can I turn my face because of your words or two, I have been out for more than a month, and there are a lot of things at home, so I have to go back to deal with it, but before leaving, the old man will discuss something with you."

"Speak to the elderly."

Gong Yi then said: "Your talent has far exceeded the old man's thoughts, I thought that on the art of things, although my Gong loser did not dare to say that he was the first, but no one has been able to surpass my family for thousands of years, now it seems that I am a frog at the bottom of the well, since I have been in contact with you, your arithmetic, medical skills, and calligraphy are all breathtaking." The old man is also cheeky, you have also seen my little grandson, although the intelligence is far from you, but it is not worse than the babies you taught, the old man wants him to stay here and learn arithmetic and cartography with you, of course, the old man will not let you teach in vain."

After speaking, the old man took out a burden from the kang and opened it to see that there were more than a dozen books stacked together. Xiao Zheng picked up the book, and saw that the cover was written in flying white font "Qi Min Yaoshu" four words, this book is a comprehensive agricultural work written by Jia Sixian, an outstanding agronomist in the Northern and Southern Dynasties of China, is one of the earliest monographs in the history of agriculture in the world, and is also the most complete agricultural book in the world is the ancestor of agricultural books, which describes in detail the production technology knowledge of agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, fishery, and sideline departments in agricultural production.

"That's a good thing, old man, where did you find this treasure? This is much better than the Four Books and the Five Classics, this is the real foundation of the people", Xiao Zheng said while flipping through the book, this book has a lot more content than the version handed down by later generations.

In this era when Confucianism rules everything, only Xiao Zheng can say that this book can be elevated to a higher status than Confucianism.

Seeing Xiao Zheng's high evaluation of this book, Gong Yi's face was also full of excitement, and even Gong Yi Hui was chest up after hearing it, and a smile appeared on his face.

Gong Yi happily patted the book with his hand and said: "This book will be given to you, and if you need to make tools in the future, my Gong loser's children have good craftsmanship, and I can help you at any time."

After listening to this, Xiao Zheng smiled and said to the boy: "Old man, thank you for giving the boy this book, but you are not kind to the old man, and you are shopping for the boy, if I let you make the drawings of the tools, you will learn again, you let the boy teach Ruoyi I admit it, but if you let the boy make all the tools for you, we have a condition, in the future, I will make things without my permission It is strictly forbidden to spread them, how to keep it secret You are better than me." If the second instrument is profitable, I have the final say on who participates, otherwise you will take the book back, and you will also take it back to your grandson."

After listening to this, the public loser squeezed his eyes and stroked his sparse beard and said: "I know that you are a thief, I will answer the two things you said, my male loser is also a figure with a head and a face in the rivers and lakes, and there are many disciples, if you need manpower, you can take this out and hang it at the door, and the people in my sect will naturally look for you when they see it."

As he spoke, the old man took out an ebony horn ruler that was half a foot square and looked extremely quaint, and handed it to Xiao Zheng.

Xiao Zheng took the ruler and asked again: "Old man, how did you get such a complete book, can you tell the kid?" ”

"Jia Siqian is an outstanding son of my father-in-law during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, why is it strange that the old man has this book."

"Are you saying that Jia Siqian is from your sect?!" Xiao Zheng said in a lost voice.

"That's nature!" Gong Yi said proudly.

"Then are there any other figures like this in your sect over the years?"

"Yes, during the Great Cause period, when Yang Lin, the king of the mountain, conquered Wagangzhai, he put down a long snake array, and there were countless news agencies in it, and at that time, Luo Shixin and Qin Qiong and other fierce generals in Wagangzhai almost did not die in these organs, and finally let the old man take his son and all the children to break him", the old guy said triumphantly.

Xiao Zheng really didn't expect to see that the usually cynical old guy still had such heroic deeds, so he said to the public loser: "I have taught you this little grandson, don't worry about how I teach you, I promise to have no reservations, but where he can learn, it depends on his creation, if he really doesn't learn, don't look at his martial arts There are two brushes, I have a way to clean him up."

Seeing that Xiao Zheng responded, Gong Yi was immediately overjoyed and said: "If he doesn't want to learn people, you can clean it up casually, besides, he was scared by you last time, and he is more afraid of seeing you now than seeing his father", Xiao Zheng smiled at Gong Ruoyi who was hiding behind Gong Yi Hui, and scared Gong Ruoyi into shrinking his neck, and turned his head to look at the door.

"It's a deal!" Gong Yi's hand hit Xiao Zheng's hand together.

The next morning, he wrote down the taboo of public infusion and plantar recuperation on a piece of paper, and when he got on the ox cart, he gave him two jars of liquor, so happy that the old guy's mouth couldn't close, and he praised Xiao Zheng for his filial piety.

When Gong Yi Hui drove out of the ox cart and out of the village, the voice of Gong Yi came from the shed: "Hui'er, what do you think of Xiao Zheng's face?" ”

"I don't see the past, the genius of the world, good and evil are indistinguishable," Gong Hui said as he drove the car.

There was silence in the carport for a while and said: "I have watched him for more than a month for my father, and this son is not disgusting, since my father-in-law has recognized this friend, I believe in him, let's go."
