Chapter 392: Spring Ploughing
The wedding of the king of Shu and the celebration of the New Year shrouded the entire Shu for more than a month, and it was not until after the Lantern Festival that the joy gradually dissipated.
Soon, winter is gone, spring is here, and the new year has begun.
Spring outing seems to be a very popular activity of the ancients, especially among the aristocracy, spring outing can not only enjoy the scenery of spring, but also express the depression that suppresses the whole winter.
A group of children from rich families wandered around the fields along the country road, some wrote poems, some talked broadly, some laughed and ridiculed, and some pointed out the country.
"Huh? Look, how are there so many people in the fields? A rich kid shook his folding fan and said.
Everyone looked up, but dozens of students were busy in the fields, doing all the farm work, pouting their butts and busy.
Everyone thought it was funny, and the rich kid smiled in order to show off his only meaning and knowledge in front of his companions: "There are students here, busy on the ridges." The shadow is like a barberry, and the dung dyes the green robe. ”
"Haha! Good poetry! Brother You's a good poem! Everyone was a sycophant, and the rich kid who was photographed was so proud.
Suddenly, a childish voice came from the field, and said in a loud voice: "There are wild dogs here, idle on the ridges." The language is like a barking howl, and the stinking spring grass is yellow. ”
The rich kid surnamed You's face changed, and he couldn't hear that this person was scolding himself for being a dog, so he was immediately furious, and he pulled up his sleeve robe and stepped forward to find the person who spoke.
You Gongzi pointed to a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy and said angrily: "Little cub, who are you scolding for being a wild dog?" ”
The young man turned his head, wiped the dirt from his face, stared at the wandering boy and asked with a smile, "Who is the little cub scolding?" ”
"Little cub scolds you!" You Gongzi said angrily.
"Haha!!" The students who were busy in the fields laughed loudly, and even the companions of the wandering boy couldn't help but laugh out loud.
You Gongzi immediately understood, he invisibly scolded himself for being a cub, he was ashamed and annoyed, and said angrily: "You yellow-mouthed child, you are so uneducated, which college are you from, call your teacher out!" ”
You Gongzi wanted to step forward and beat the student, but he was afraid that the other party would not be an opponent, but he couldn't lose face in front of his peers.
This son surnamed You, the family is quite powerful, ordinary people can't afford to offend, these teenage students don't know the severity, he doesn't believe that their teacher dares to offend him.
The student with a dirty face looked at the angry You Gongzi who was standing on the ridge of the field, suddenly showed a naughty smile of schadenfreude, and turned his head to another spring ploughing field not far away and shouted: "Teacher! Someone is looking for you! ”
After shouting, the student hurriedly bowed down and continued to cultivate, as if everything that happened here was none of his business.
After a while, a person walked out of the crowd of the spring ploughing world, and slowly walked towards everyone, and along the way, there was still time to check the cultivation situation of the students, and pointed out a few words.
The man seemed to have been busy in the field for a while, with his trouser legs pulled up high, and his hands and feet were covered with mud, and he looked like a farmer.
The man came to the ridge and asked, "Who is looking for me, and what is the matter?" ”
When the student surnamed You saw the person, it was quite different, because this person was only twenty-three or four years old, and he was already a teacher, and if he thought about it carefully, there didn't seem to be such a young Confucian in Shu.
However, since this person is young and obviously has no background, the son surnamed You is more confident, and he was about to step forward to sue, when suddenly someone behind him dragged him violently.
You Gongzi looked back, but it was his companion, and he wondered: "What are you dragging me for?" ”
"Don't... Don't—" The companion was somehow in his mouth, his face was dripping with cold sweat, and he couldn't even speak clearly, as if he had seen something terrible.
When You Gongzi was about to ask again, his companion fell to his knees with a thud, and said tremblingly: "See... I've seen Your Highness! ”
You Gongzi was stunned, and suddenly turned his head to look at the teacher standing in front, his face turned white instantly, in Shu, there is only one person who can be called His Royal Highness, and that is Yang Yi, the king of Shu.
When the king of Shu got married, the palace banquet guests, although the You family could not enter the palace lobby to drink, but also saw the king of Shu from afar, at this time You Gongzi himself looked, this person is vaguely similar to the king of Shu.
You Gongzi was stunned and didn't move, his companion tugged on his trouser leg vigorously, You Gongzi woke up in shock, and he also fell to his knees and bowed: "I've seen His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" ”
A group of noble children dared to hesitate when they saw this, and bowed one after another, and at this time everyone knew that these students in the field were not ordinary students, but students from the famous Guangming Academy, and their teacher was naturally Yang Yi, the king of Shu.
Yang Yi looked at everyone suspiciously, and used his arms without mud stains to collect the sweat on his cheeks.
Hu Shou, who had just seen the whole process of the incident on the side, stepped forward and described the incident in a low voice beside Yang Yi.
After Yang Yi heard this, he smiled helplessly, looked at the noble children who were kneeling on the ground, and said, "Get up." ”
The children of the nobles stood up when they heard this, but they were all panicked, especially the son surnamed You, his legs trembled uncontrollably, his face was sweating like rain, and he didn't dare to say a word with his body bowed.
Yang Yi glanced at these rich children, then looked at the son surnamed You, and said, "What's your name?" Which son? ”
You Gongzi shuddered and replied: "The grass people... The grass people's name is You Jun, the second son of the You family in Beicheng, Chengzhou..."
Yang Yi nodded, and said, "Are you guilty?" ”
You Jun was shocked when he heard this, plopped down and fell to the ground again, almost crying: "The grass people are guilty!" ”
"What is the crime?" Yang Yi asked again.
You Jun replied: "The grass people don't know that His Highness and the students of your academy are here, so if you take it for offense, the grass people should die!" ”
Even if You Jun is stubborn and domineering on weekdays, he also knows what a big crime it is to offend the King of Shu, and even the slightest carelessness may even cause trouble to the family.
Yang Yi shook his head and said, "No, you don't know where the sin is." After a pause, he added: "Farming by farmers is a major matter of the country, and the foundation of the prosperity of the world should be the most respectable thing." ”
You Jun immediately understood what Yang Yi was referring to in order to show off his only bit of literature and ink, make poems and insult agricultural things, and hurriedly bowed: "The grass people are ignorant, and their mouths are not inferior, I hope Your Highness will be gracious." ”
Yang Yi glanced at the children of the nobles, and said: "The spring scenery is moving, you have nothing to blame for coming to the spring outing, but don't forget, there is a current situation in Shu, you have such an elegant and leisurely opportunity, all of which are created by thousands of farmers in Shu. ”
"Remember Your Highness's teachings." The crowd hurriedly bowed.
Yang Yi pointed to an uncultivated field not far away, and said, "As a punishment, you can farm with this king, and also set a good example for the Shu sergeants." ”
Everyone was relieved when they heard this, cultivating a field is naturally not a big deal, not to mention that the king of Shu personally cultivated here and spread it, and everyone would get a good reputation.
That You Jun was like being amnestied, and without saying a word, he pulled off his brocade robe and ran to the field, working extremely hard.
