"Yunshan Chronicles" is a year of Zhenqi in the Tang Dynasty

Note: Where the heavens will be entrusted with great responsibilities to the country, there will be an omen. The wind and rain of heaven and earth are called 'auspicious rays,' and the disasters of heaven and earth are called 'bad omens.' Current affairs are more auspicious and less auspicious, so the emperor and nobles seek auspiciousness to appear in the world. In the long run, local officials often reported 'auspiciousness' in order to seek awards. 'Zizhi Dew', 'Colorful Xia Yun' and so on are all called auspicious. Luo Yun didn't know what auspiciousness these auspicious fortunes bring, but he saw the 'great misfortune' of what the 'bad omen' was, and what the so-called 'great difficulty in seeing the country'. Unfortunate, great misfortune. - Yunshan Luoyun

Just as Luo Yun predicted earlier, although there were many happy events in Lijia Village in the sixth year of Zhenguan, there was no joy of getting married. The two old ladies couldn't go out of the clan meeting. In order to avoid the lesson, several brothers of the Li family avoided the two old ladies when they had nothing to do, but poor Li Chenglin lived in a courtyard with the second grandfather, got up early and went to bed late to say hello and eat and couldn't hide, and finally couldn't stand it anymore and ran to Luoyun's house to live for a few days.

The dark clouds on the old lady's face did not disperse until the 'Xia Yuan Festival' in October. But he was still cold to Li Zhenxing's brothers, and he didn't ask anything about the things in the village, and he and the third child took Luo Yun's filial piety fishing rod to the reservoir in the valley every day to fish.

The fish in the reservoir are stocked with fry that were bought just in July. After raising it for a few months, it is also the time to eat, but this fish is going to be raised for a year and left for next year to start harvesting gradually, so although the two old ladies harvest a lot every day, it is just a fun, and they are all released before leaving. At the end of October, the temperature dropped so much that after a few snowfalls, the reservoir was frozen to a solid level. The patriarch arranged to distribute the chickens in the cage above the reservoir to each family for foster care, using the same method as Luo Yun last year, and when the weather is warm, he will not take it back without interest. Looking at the thriving life, the whole village is happy, this is not a clan meeting, it is rare for everyone to be smiling.

Patriarch Li Zhensheng explained the imperial decree as in previous years, but this year there is really a decree related to these mountain people. Because of the use of troops against the Turks in the past few years, although Li Jing, the god of the Tang Dynasty, broke through the Turkic court with 3,000 horsemen and won a great victory. It's exciting, but it's not just a day. In the past few years, Li Jing and Li Ji have been entangled with tens of thousands of generals and horses for a few years, and they have not known how long they have been entangled before they find such an opportunity to go straight to the royal court and decide the outcome in one stop. But after recuperating for so many years, the imperial court seemed to suddenly feel that there was a shortage of elite military horses, and even issued a conscription order, wanting to make up for the soldiers in the Guanzhong Prefecture.

Datang ranks first in military merit, and it is easiest to get promoted when he goes into battle. But there are really not many belligerent Chinese people, and the troubled times are still enough, and they can't plant land, so it's better to put their heads on their belts and fight for a future. Luo Yun's Uncle Wu was like this back then. But during the Taiping period, who was willing to give up a good life, but ran to the barracks to suffer. In Luo Yun's opinion, these men in Li Jiazhai are all soldiers in troubled times, but now...... Well, they're all good hunters. I thought that there would be people with hot hearts, but the patriarch who was unexpectedly Luo Yun finished speaking, and there was no one who showed eagerness, drinking tea and knocking teeth, knocking teeth, and looking like he had nothing to do with himself.

Li Zhensheng looked around the courtyard and saw that no one was talking, so he dusted off his sleeves and made it on the chair. "Now, then, let's get to business. Let me start with it, this year, all the chickens and fish have been raised, and everyone ......."

The two old ladies were not there, and Luo Yun was distracted shamefully. Sitting there, looking at the flames in the charcoal basin with stunned eyes, thinking about the events of this year. Although he had only been away for more than two months, he felt that the journey with the ancestor had taken up most of his year. When I came back, I seemed to be a stranger to the people in the village, and there was an indescribable estrangement. In the past six months, he has not had an idea about Li Jiazhai, and he has not interjected a word. If it weren't for the fact that the weather was too cold, Luo Yun would prefer to live in the grass hut in the back mountain, watch Xiao You and the apes frolicking, and wait for Yuan Wu to bring him wine every month and live the life of a hermit.

Luo Yun kept thinking about what happened before and after this year, but his mind always reflected the days of wandering in the mountains, thinking about it, and turning a deaf ear to the voice coming from his ears, "Luo Yun, Luo Yun ......"

"Huh?" was pushed by Li Kun, Luo Yuncai came back to his senses with a blank face, looked up and saw that everyone was staring at him, and the face of the second uncle was a little dark. Luo Yun awkwardly picked up the cup and drank tea, and made eye contact with Li Huan's cousin next to him, asking him to give a hint.

Li Jian took Luo Yun's eyes, smiled secretly in his heart, coughed lightly and said, "I think what the patriarch said is right, third uncle." In March, the spring blossoms bloomed, but there was little harvest in the field. Since we prepare all the ingredients and supply them ourselves, we have to wait for some to harvest. So it's better to slow down and wait until April......"

Without waiting for Li Jian to finish speaking, Li Zhencai grabbed the words: "It's too late in April, and those students who enter Beijing, the caravan that runs south and north should hit the road as soon as the plum blossoms bloom, and March will not be early." If we wait until April, we're missing out on a lot of business. ”

Hearing this, Luo Yun understood that he was originally discussing the question of when the planned restaurant would open. Seeing that Li Huan, who was robbed, turned his head and glanced at himself again, the eyes of the patriarch and the third uncle also looked at him. Luo Yun didn't have time to think about it, and said: "Actually, it's not inappropriate to open earlier. Luo Yun paused, and saw that the third uncle's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the patriarch and the others were still waiting for their explanations with a calm face.

"Although we opened a restaurant to directly sell the surplus food produced by each family, this shop is not determined to die, so we can only do this. Besides, the vegetables in the restaurant were originally what they collected in the field, and it was enough to serve dry food to the guests. Moreover, we need a lot of time to prepare. This store can't be built in a word. Although the land had been bought by the way of the county master, there was not a single plank of wood now. I think we should take a long-term view and build it in the same way as a big car shop in the early stage. The shelves are bigger, and we can add a little bit of things inside. March is not early, as the third uncle said, the students who enter Beijing are also a group of customers. We might as well get a few rooms, not luxurious, just clean. Lower the price, there will always be someone to live in. Eat a little bit, just be able to manage the full in the early stage, and then get some wild vegetables in the mountains, and prepare a little bit should be able to cope with the first few months. ”

After Luo Yun finished speaking, he looked at the second uncle, but he didn't expect the second uncle to glare at him with his eyes, muttered a little, and decided to say: "Then let's do it first, the third brother, you go back and discuss it with Carpenter Zhang and Gao Zhe again, according to what Luo Yun said, make the shelf bigger, or start construction in mid-February." If you can't get busy, hire some more part-time workers. ”

The relationship has already discussed the issue of the construction of this shop, and seeing Li Kun snickering in the back, Luo Yun only then realized why the second uncle was glaring at him. Well, after talking for a long time, I explained how long I had been gone.

Cheer up and 'have a meeting' seriously, but Luo Yun really couldn't interject about some trivial things that he said next. I was bored for a long time, and when the meeting ended, the clansmen in the outer courtyard dispersed, and the second uncle took a sip of the teacup, but looked at the brothers and nephews left in the house. As soon as everyone saw this situation, they knew that this 'boss' had something to say, so they sat honestly and didn't move, looking at Li Zhensheng with their eyes.

The patriarch slowly put down the teacup, straightened the sleeves of his robe, and then looked at his son Li Chenglin, and looked at Li Chenglin for a moment, and looked down at him for some reason. I only heard Li Zhensheng say leisurely: "Your grandfather is old, and he has such a wish when he is old." I won't force you, but you can't put it off any longer. ”

Although these words were said to Li Chenglin, everyone in the room had their own reactions after listening to them. Li Chenglin looked at the ground, Li Kun looked at his father, Li Jian stared at the pale green water pattern in the cup with a gloomy face, Uncle Wu looked at his son Cheng Mu, Li Zhencai looked around and felt that there was nothing wrong with him, and finally his eyes stopped at Luo Yun, but Luo Yun was stunned again. 'What's the matter with me', Luo Yun gave an inquiring look to the third uncle. Li Zhencai rubbed his chin and smiled, and replied, "It's your turn." Luo Yun thought blankly for a long time, looked sideways at the clear sky outside the house, and only thought about it for a long time, the New Year was over. After Zhengdan, it has been seven years since Zhenguan, and Luo Yun is sixteen years old. According to the customs of the Tang Dynasty, it was time for him to perform a coming-of-age ceremony.

After the patriarch Li Zhensheng was forced by the pressure of the two old ladies on sick leave at the clan meeting, he mentioned the children and nephews. Throughout the New Year, these juniors had to gather often to discuss their life's work. Luo Yun was no exception, when Li Kun asked Luo Yun with a smile what kind of woman he wanted to find as his wife, Luo Yun fell into a daze again. Of course, the last time this 'again' was farther away, it was in the previous life. If there really is a previous life, those vague memories should be his past life? Anyway, there hasn't been a woman in those memory screens.

In this life, what kind of wife is he looking for when he is so real and ordinary? is a gentle and virtuous woman who is willing to guard a mountain man for a lifetime like his mother; Or do you want a poetic and picturesque Tang beauty who is proficient in piano and pipa? He really hasn't thought about this, what he has been thinking about in the past two years is how to live more comfortably, maybe because he is still young. I really haven't considered the problem of women because of any physiological needs.

Under the curious eyes of several brothers, Luo Yun thought for a long time, and finally sighed leisurely, looked up at Fang Liang and said, "Who knows, fate has arrived, who it should be." If you think too clearly and too clearly, you will inevitably be disappointed when you find that it is too different from reality. Rather than so, it is better not to want to. I figured it out, if there is really a woman who took advantage of her heart, if she could, she might as well date first, and then talk slowly. ”

Li Kun didn't hear what he wanted to know the most, so he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and asked, "Then how can you be regarded as a woman who takes advantage of your heart?" ”

Luo Yun glanced at Li Kun blankly, and shook his head: "I don't know." But I do know what the maid I want is like, and when the family has money, I will hire one and come back. ”

"Oh? Let's talk about it, tell me, what kind of maid is in line with our Young Master Yun's heart, wait for the money to be earned, brother, I will go to the city to buy one for you and send it back to you. Li Kun was interested when he heard this, grabbed Luo Yun's sleeve and asked.

Luo Yun glanced at Li Kun, who was about to buy and sell people, with disdain, and said casually: "Well, you can't be too fat, it's best to be well-proportioned." The skin should be white and the facial features should be upright. The temperament can't be too soft, but the voice can't be too rough either. Needless to say, literacy and hyphenation need to be understood, and you must understand at least two kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. That's all for now, and then we'll be more detailed. ”

After Luo Yun finished speaking, he saw Li Kun, Cheng Mu, and Li Chenglin all looking at him dumbfounded, and couldn't help snickering in his heart, and pretended to take it for granted on his face: "What?" Too low a requirement? ”

As soon as he finished saying this, several people vomited blood. Li Chenglin muttered, "Brother Yun, are you looking for a maid?" That's all there is to the daughter of a wealthy family, right? Li Kun was more realistic: "What else did my father tell me...... I'll just marry Brother Yun, you girl, home. ”

After the two finished speaking, Luo Yun looked at Cheng Mu and waited for him to speak. I didn't want Cheng Mu to open his mouth to say something, but as soon as he heard Li Kun's words, he closed his mouth, and shook his head with a wry smile as if he wanted to speak. Luo Yun was puzzled, but he didn't want to ask at this time, so he just continued to pretend to be indifferent, and said amusedly to a few brothers: "What is this, it must be according to my standards." My Luoyun's maid must at least be the lord of the famous flowers in the Qunfang Building of Chang'an City. ”

After Luo Yun finished speaking, he was waiting for the exclamations of a few brothers, but he saw a few people with uncertain looks, or Li Kun couldn't hide his words, scratched his head and asked: "Eh, I haven't been to this Chang'an, where is Qunfang Tower?" ”

Embarrassment, Luo Yun finally knows what embarrassment is. He took it for granted, thinking that everyone could understand it, but no one of them co-authored. Of course, Qunfang Building is Qinglou, but how can he explain this. He's a sixteen-year-old kid who hasn't gone down the mountain, and he talks to a few brothers about Qinglou? Say that the famous prostitute? If this word reaches Aunt Mei's ears......

The time of laughter and carefree did not last long, although the imperial court had been concealing it and secretly making preparations. But just after February, some experienced old farmers saw that something was wrong. The same is true in Lijiazhai, there were a few light rains in the first month, and after February 2, the rain was less when it was time to rain. Lijiazhai has a reservoir to divert water, plus a mountain spring, so I didn't feel anything. But at this time, the old man who knows the destiny of heaven is often extremely sensitive. It was not yet the end of February, and the two old ladies of the Li family couldn't sit still at home, so they called back Li Zhensheng, the patriarch who went down the mountain to supervise the repair of the restaurant. There are only two of them left in the old people of Lijiazhai, why? Although these children and grandchildren have experienced the great drought a few years ago, they know a lot about it. This shows that God is going to accept people, how can you not remind it.

The sting of the 24 solar terms refers to the day when the spring thunder awakens all things on the earth. After the sting, the thunder in the sky was indeed not idle, and he really made an alarm clock, but it rang for a little longer, and after a few days of drought and thunder, he was stunned and did not fall a drop of rain. Such a clear omen shocked everyone. However, who would have thought that a few days after the thundercloud dispersed, Wolong, who didn't know where, hadn't woken up yet, so he summoned Lei Gong back again.

Just after Qingming, Lijiazhai was still asleep on this day. Before dawn broke, a thunderbolt suddenly resounded through the mountains, and the thunder rolled in, and all the beasts were frightened. There was a farmer who was awakened by the thunder, looked at the dim dawn outside the window, thought that the clouds were thick, and sighed that God was finally willing to dew some oil and water, while wrapping himself in a thin quilt and holding his mother-in-law to sleep again. However, the thunder was loud and earth-shattering. When the red sun first rose, the sleepy Ruluoyun was finally awakened. At first, I was surprised that my drowsiness was gone on this rainy day, so I walked to the window in my coat and pushed it open and looked out......

The morning sun is like fire, the blue sky is like washing, and there are no clouds, what a good sunny day. But where did this thunder come from? Needless to say, thunderclouds can't be seen even if there is a white cloud in the sky. The two old men frowned and chattered for a few days about drought and thunder, drought and thunder, shouldn't this be what it refers to.

Aunt Mei couldn't lie down in bed as soon as she got well, although she enjoyed Luo Yun's filial care very much, but she was not yet at the age when she couldn't walk. However, the thunder was so loud that the livestock and poultry at home were startled, and there was a lot of commotion. Although breakfast had already been served, Uncle Wu was called out by Li Chenglin early in the morning, and Luo Yun insisted on waiting for him to come back to eat together. In fact, Luo Yun has no appetite at all now.

Luo Yun took Xiao You to stand at the gate of the courtyard, looking towards the back mountain, although he couldn't see anything, but his ears carefully distinguished, and he found that the thunder was indeed coming from the mountain. If there were even clouds floating in the sky, he would think that it was thunder, but in this situation, if he couldn't guess that it was the voice of the ancestor, then he would have lived in vain for two months. But Luo Yun couldn't figure out what else could make the ancestor be like this in this mountain...... Wrath.

That's right, it's anger, this thunder is not like the kind of words that come out when the ancestor talks to him, although deafening, but does not contain too much emotion. Once the voice of the ancestor carries emotions, this thunder will always give people a feeling of dread. Just like now, despite being so far away, even though the thunder echoes through the valley can only be transmitted to this Li Jiazhai. However, when the sensitive animals first heard this sound, they reacted in fear and wanted to escape, and when they found that they could not escape from the chicken coop and cowshed, they chose to huddle in their nests and remain motionless. Luo Yun looked at Xiao You, who was still standing beside him, and found that it was not affected by anything. But it is also the Zhenyue of the tiger...... I haven't been out of the house since I woke up in the morning.

Here Luo Yun was hesitating whether to go into the mountain, although the voice of the ancestor could be heard for thousands of miles, but since it could still be heard so clearly in Lijiazhai, the ancestor should have arrived in the territory of Yuanwu and Bai Yang. Thinking of Bai Yang, he suddenly remembered Yuan Wu who came to deliver wine last month, and remembered the joy that Yuan Wu couldn't hide and told him that Bai Yang was about to give birth. Luo Yun couldn't help but wonder if the ancestor's anger had something to do with Bai Yang's children. Could it be that there was really that amazing beast that injured the child of the white ape, and the ancestor was so angry? In that case, I think that this fierce beast and the ancestor are also a level of existence, otherwise how could the ancestor roar angrily for more than an hour.

"Brother Yun, why are you standing at the door?"

Luo Yun woke up from his contemplation, and turned his head to see that it was Uncle Wu who had returned. Hurriedly pushed open the courtyard door to welcome Uncle Wu in: "This thunder doesn't stop, I'll take a look here." What happened to the second uncle's summoning early in the morning? ”

When Uncle Wu walked over, Luo Yun found that Uncle Wu had a serious expression on his face, his eyebrows were twisted together, and when he heard Luo Yun's question, he said worriedly: "Your second grandfather told him last month that there might be a drought on this day, and he called all the big guys back." Seeing that there had been a few rains last month, the patriarch didn't pay much attention to it. Who knew that this morning, the drought and thunder bombed non-stop, and your second grandfather was awakened and went out for a walk, only to find that the spring water in front of the ancestral hall was half dry. Startled, as soon as he got home, he let Cheng Lin run around the mountain, and came back to report that the water volume of all the springs and streams had become smaller, and some of the originally small streams had dried up directly. Seeing that there was no cloud on this dry and thunderous day, the patriarch also panicked, it looks like it's really going to be a drought, isn't this ......"

Uncle Wu's voice was completely drowned out by a sudden loud noise. Luo Yun couldn't help but cover his ears tightly with his hands in panic and squatted on the ground, and Xiao You also lay on the ground and covered his head with his paws. The two green cows in the cowshed struggled in panic, and the reins pulled the railing 'squeak', and they were about to fall down after a few shakes in the cowshed.

Uncle Wu was defenseless, stunned, and his ears buzzed. Fortunately, this loud noise was very short, and as soon as Luo Yun opened his eyes, he turned to look at the back mountain. The sound just now was so far away, but it was like a thunderbolt exploding in my ears. The Ancestor's roar was unprecedented, so far away, there was still such power, and who among the beasts in the mountains could withstand it? But what is the reason for the ancestor to be so ...... No restraint. Unable to suppress the panic and curiosity in his heart any longer, Luo Yun kicked Xiao You, who was still lying on the ground, and turned over and stepped on its back. Xiao Yu took a moment, stood up with Luo Yun on his back, waited for him to sit firmly, took three steps and made two steps to open the courtyard door and rushed out. Luo Yun quickly left a message in the air: "Uncle Wu, I'll go to the mountains to have a look, don't wait for me to eat......"

Luo Yun moved too fast, Uncle Wu was still shaking his head and plucking his ears, he didn't react at all, and when he ran out of the courtyard door, he chased two steps and shouted a few times, but his poor ears were still ringing, and he didn't hear what Luo Yun said at all. Seeing that Xiao You was carrying Luo Yun away quickly, it was obvious that he was running towards the back mountain, and he thought that nothing should happen. Cheng Wu turned around and saw his wife standing against the door, although he didn't hear Luo Yun's words, but Aunt Mei, who happened to visit the front yard, did. The couple could only look at each other and sigh, this mountain ...... Except for Luo Yun, who else can come and go freely.
