Chapter 1 Visits

Liu Lao Han Wude fled to Shenhe Bay in the first year, and his two sons died on the battlefield during the Sui Dynasty when they conquered Goguryeo, and his wife died a few years ago.

Unexpectedly, after living in Shenhe Bay, Mr. Li and the people in the village took care of himself, and after the death of Mr. Xian, he still took care of his disciples. Fortunately, his body is still quite tough, this time the two villages built a house together, Liu Laohan said that he had no money and couldn't live for a few years, and he didn't want to drag down the villagers, but the villagers couldn't help but say that he picked up his broken house and built a new one.

As soon as the new house moved in, his heart felt bright, and Wang Quan's old man in the village told him that he would go to the coal yard to eat if he didn't want to cook in the future, the meal was good, and it saved you Liu Laohan the trouble of cooking alone. But I can't talk about eating like this, I have to do something for the villagers to be worthy of this old face.

Find Xiao Zheng and ask, Mr. Xiao smiled and said that it is easy to do, the old man sleeps less, and if he is not busy in the future, everyone will take a broom and scissors, sweep the street when he is fine, and trim the flowers and plants on both sides of our road, but don't be tired, this time it will be a few old men. A few old people get up early and have nothing to do, and now every day, Lao Wang Quan leads a team of seven or eight old men to sweep the streets in the two villages early in the morning to be cleaner than their own kangs.

After finishing their work, the old brothers sat in the gazebo under the tree, listening to the creaking waterwheel by the river and chatting. Seeing Wuhua running past in front of his eyes, Wuhua has now completely grown into a strong ox, the fur on his body is as black as black brocade, and Lu Yi repaired Wuhua's sphere of influence has expanded to two villages.

Now I run to the entrance of Lizhuang Village early in the morning to pick up a few babies, which is more punctual than the shuttle bus in later generations. This Mr. Xiao's cow is as smart as Mr. Xiao, and a few old men said with a smile.

Through the thin morning mist, seven or eight horses came on the road of Li Zhuang, in order to avoid the hot weather, as soon as the day dawned, Li Shimin took Fang Xuanling, Yu Shinan, and Yu Chi Lao Hei to Shenhe Bay early in the morning.

As soon as the horse entered the boundary of Lizhuang, several people obviously felt the difference, the original potholed dirt road suddenly became a blue stone road more than three zhang wide, the wildflowers planted on the side of the road revealed the fragrance, the horse's hooves stepped on the stone road and clicked, so that the slightly tired people were refreshed, just entered the village entrance on the side of the road a piece of stone engraved with "Li Zhuang" two big characters are very eye-catching.

"That's right, this is Mr. Xiao's handwriting, and after Li Zhuang, you will arrive at Mr. Xiao's house," Yu Shinan said as he rode his horse and looked at the words on the stone.

As soon as I passed through the entrance of Lizhuang Village, I saw a ten-year-old boy with four children out of the village, and it seemed that he was also going to Shenhe Bay. These children wore wooden shoes and carried bags, and they looked very refreshing in shorts and shorts that several people had never seen.

Seeing that these children were very cute, Li Shimin and a few people slowed down their horses for fear of frightening them. Suddenly, in the distance, I saw an oncoming strong bull rushing towards several children as if they were startled, and these children seemed to be unaware of the danger and were jumping in a row on the road to stop the cow.

"Oops, it's not good!" Yu Chi Laohei stretched out his hand and touched his back, looking at his thoughts to set up a bow and shoot an arrow to shoot a cow, but he forgot that this was a visitor, how could he bring a bow and arrow. Just when a few people were very anxious, the cow stopped in front of the children, gently pushed the children down with its head and lay on the ground, the older children helped the four little ones on the back of the cow, and the cow stood up and carried a few children and was ready to go.

"That's Mr. Xiao's cow, five flowers!" Li Sanniang shouted, jumped off the horse, and walked towards a few children.

Wuhua heard someone call its name, so she turned her head to look at Li Sanniang and stayed for a while, as if she remembered something and shouted at him and walked over. Lou Shide and the others saw someone shouting the name of the five flowers and knew that they must have known the master, seeing that the popularity of these people was not ordinary people in the countryside, Lou Shide also came over and respectfully saluted and said: "I have seen a few distinguished guests", Xiao Changning also gave a few people a salute after coming down with a few babies.

"Doll, aren't you afraid that cow will trample on you?" Cheng Yanjin asked on the side.

"Let a few distinguished guests worry, Wuhua picks us up every day, this is its favorite game, rest assured, it will never hurt us, Wuhua is very smart" Lou Shide said very proudly.

"What I said, I scared Lao Tzu just now," Yu Chi Lao Hei said.

Lou Shide turned his head and asked Xiao Changning to take a few babies to ride the five flowers to deliver a letter to Xiao Zheng first, and he led the way for Li Shimin in the back.

Turning the small mound, I saw the village surrounded by mountains and rivers in it, the wicker breezed on both sides of the road, and the morning sun sprinkled through the layers of branches and leaves in the small courtyard of the farmhouse with blue bricks and red tiles, and a layer of yellow color appeared on the roof, and it was the wisps of cooking smoke coming out of the chimney when making breakfast. A few swallows swept through the air, dozens of ducks and geese wandered in the lotus pond, and Li Shimin and several others were immersed in this tranquil atmosphere.

"A few people, get off the horse and take a walk, I have never seen such a good Zhuangzi before, if you don't take a good look at it, I'm sorry for yourself" Li Shimin was very interested, jumped off the horse and said with a few other people.

"What His Royal Highness said is very true, this is a good place, these two Zhuangzi are not necessarily better than the people in Chang'an City," Fang Xuanling said enviously.

"Grandpa has a good reputation, this is all the family teacher with the villagers to work for a few years, the master said that they are working hard now to make our generation better, and when our generation grows up, we will also strive to make the next generation live better" Lou Shide replied very decently.

"Good!" Hearing Lou Shide's words, Li Shimin's mood was agitated, and he liked Lou Shide very much after contacting him, so he stretched out his hand and took off the jade pendant on his waist and handed it over. Lou Shide took it with both hands and bowed to him and said, "The elder grants, don't dare to resign, thank you for your generous gifts."

Seeing that this little guy was well-behaved, and Fang Xuanling liked it very much, he asked, "Baby, what does your husband usually teach you?" The little guy thought about it very seriously and said: "Teach everything, all the children, arithmetic, geometry, painting, astronomy, geography, and sometimes think of what to teach" The little guy replied very stinky fart, and almost shouted that the knowledge was miscellaneous.

But when I heard this, it was different in the ears of Li Shimin, it is impossible for children to tell lies, but you can teach everything, and the premise is that you have to have these goods in your stomach to pour them out.

Fang Xuanling twisted his beard and said to Lou Shide with a smile: "Then have you ever read "Thousand Character Text" and "Yan's Family Motto"? ”

"I have read it, and the younger generation has also read "Di Zi Gui", "Three Character Classic", and "Hundred Family Names".

"What is the book of this "Disciple Rules", "Three Character Classic", and "Hundred Family Names", and who wrote it."

"This is what my master compiled for us, and he said that the books of the predecessors were too obscure and difficult to understand, and he made up some easy-to-learn and easy-to-understand books for us to read."

"Then can you recite the "Disciple Rules" to the old man first?" Yu Shinan's eyes lit up and he said.

"Parents call, don't delay, parents live, don't be lazy. Parents teach, you must listen respectfully, parents are responsible, you must be obedient......" Listening to Lou Shide's crisp voice and reciting the "Disciple Rules", although several people did not speak, Yu Shinan walked a little heels, Fang Xuanling's beard was a little shaky, and Li Shimin did not speak, but the hand holding the reins of the horse was clenched tightly.

"Damn, what else is this Mr. Xiao that he won't know besides martial arts" Qin Qiong always said in a word.

When they were about to enter the entrance of the village, Lou Shide and Wang Quan said hello to several old men who were sitting idly under the tree and playing chess, and looked up to find Xiao Zheng hurrying over with Xue Rengui and Ruoyi. Listening to Xiao Changning's words, Xiao Zheng guessed that Li Shimin must be here, and after several people met, they inevitably exchanged a few words, and Xiao Zheng was not polite and took Li Shimin directly to the riverside pergola where the children were taught to read.

Now the pergola has been completely upgraded to the second generation version, the ground is paved with stones, the shed is all wood structure, and three spacious rooms are built with wood on the side for cooking, there is a bit of the taste of the big canteen in later generations, the craftsmanship of the public loser is really good, although the house is not carved beams and paintings, but it is simple and elegant.

Knowing that a few people hadn't eaten, he quickly asked Jin'er and Xiao's mother to make some breakfast, Xiao Zheng introduced his mother and Jin'er to everyone, and Li Sanniang's face flashed when she saw Jin'er. Soon, breakfast was served, steaming steamed buns, golden millet porridge, two large plates of fragrant scallion pancakes and fried eggs, plus a pot of cucumber and shepherd's sprouts mixed with hot pepper oil.

As soon as the meal was eaten, several people never stopped their chopsticks, and the eating style of Yu Chi Laohei and Cheng Biting the Golden Devil into the village provoked a few ignorant children in the pergola on the side to laugh, Li Shimin glared at them several times, and the two of them were like they didn't see it, and after a while, the cage drawer on the table in front of them was stacked more than two feet high.
