Just when Han Gang was immersed in the case and practiced the sword and bow diligently, the golden autumn and September passed by. In the blink of an eye, it was time to pay the gods in the general's temple.

It is late autumn in October. There is no cloud in the sky, and the blue sky is high and clear, and it is the time when the autumn is high and cool, and the grass is full of sheep fat. The cold snap that can blow from the north has gradually sharpened, and the pace of winter is getting closer and closer.

Han Qianliu walked with more than a dozen neighbors who had been invited to drink to General Li's temple not far from the west of the village. General Li's temple is dedicated to Li Guang, the general of the Western Han Dynasty. Behind the temple, Li Guang's grave, the tombstone in front of the tomb 'the tomb of the Han general Li Guangzhi' is still written by Han Qi and Han Xianggong, who were then the governor of Qinzhou.

Because Li Guang is highly praised in the historical records, he also has a high reputation in the Kansai area, especially the Feijiang Temple in his hometown, which has always been incense. There are not only good men and women in the vicinity, but also people and inkmen from all over the world who come to admire the name of Li Guang, and the government sends people to take care of them, and there are sacrifices at all four o'clock and eight festivals. General Li Temple is just a mile outside the village of Ha Long Wan Village, every New Year's Festival, the villagers will also come here to worship, if there is a disease, they will go to the temple, burn incense, make a wish, borrow the divine power of General Li to understand.

On that day, Han Gang was seriously ill, and Han Qianliu and Han Ah Li, who had nothing to do, came to the temple to donate 20 catties of sesame oil, and made a few empty wishes. Although this move was nonsense, it was very effective, and Han Gang's illness was quickly cured after that. This is also the reason why Han Qianliu wants to come and repay his vows - people can be deceived, but ghosts and gods can't.

Han Gang came one step ahead of his father, and earlier than him were Han Ah Li and the little girl, who rushed to the temple early in the morning, when it was just dawning, with a large bag of ingredients, to prepare for the banquet after the gods.

Walking on the road leading to the Feijiang Temple, Han Gang walked vigorously. Although his body was still thin, his cheeks, which had been deeply sunken by illness that day, had become a little ruddy and plump, and he gradually felt the wind under his feet when he walked.

In order to realize his dream, Han Gang read and wrote every day, and this hard work in exchange for his further understanding of Confucian scholarship and Zhang Zai's qi theory. If it continues, Han Gang believes that at most half a year, his theoretical research work will be able to achieve a small success.

In addition to reading and researching, Han Gang also has a regular archery practice after waking up every morning. He could now pick up the hard bow that hung on the wall of his chamber with three stones with one stone, instead of continuing to use the old soft hunting bow. He has to pull the hard bow a hundred and ten times a day, and when he exercises his body, he can gradually pull it to more than half a degree, and at this rate, by the first month of next year, he should be able to fully recover his health.

When he arrived at the General's Temple, Han Gang first went to the kitchen to see how Han Ah Li and Han Yunniang were preparing, but they were immediately kicked out - the gentleman is far away from the kitchen, and even women know this sentence. When he had nothing to do, he wandered around the temple. He had been to Tianshui in his previous life, and he had also entered Li Guang Temple. In terms of the time I experienced, it was only two years ago, but in terms of external time, it was a thousand years of time.

Around the millennium, General Li's temple changed a lot. The buildings, halls, trees, grass and stones are all different. Li Guang's tomb and tombstone are also completely different. However, the biggest difference is the inscription of the people on the four walls of the temple. At this time, it was not the later generations, and the Tai half of the people who had leisure to travel around Yaxing were scholars, so the signatures left on the walls were not the vulgar pen of 'visiting here', but a chapter or a poem praising the achievements of the flying generals, or lamenting Li Guang's difficult seal.

But Han Gang looked at it casually, and only felt that these great poets could make their works public, and they still had some courage - whether it was poetry or words, even at Han Gang's current level, they could be ranked in the middle and upper in it.

"Alas......" Han Gang shook his head as he looked at the ink on the wall. In fact, it is better to write directly 'so-and-so visited here'. However, the two poems inscribed on the west wall praise Li Guang's "General Night Bow" and "Not Called Hu Ma Du Yin Mountain", the same as the temple forehead and tombstone, are also from Han Qi, but these words can be regarded as first-class calligraphy.

Since ancient times, most of the masterpieces that can be passed down through the ages are masterpieces, and those that have not been handed down are actually a hundred times as much. The poems of Da Li and Lao Du have only been passed down to the Northern Song Dynasty by more than 1,000 poems, but the poets and poets have written in their lifetimes, and there are more than 10,000 poems - think about the cheeky old man in later generations, relying on the identity of the emperor, but left 100,000 poems! ——With Li Du's top poetic talent, it is only one-tenth of a masterpiece, not to mention the miscellaneous people who are far inferior to the two. In any era, the proportion of a masterpiece is like panning for gold in a river, with more sand and gravel and less real gold.

The main hall of the temple lit a few ever-bright lamps, full of several jars of sesame oil. In order to bless Han Gang to recover, the Han family and his wife also donated 20 catties. But no one can say how many of them were lit. Han Gang only looked at the dim light in the hall and couldn't even tell the statue of Li Guang on the hall, and then the veteran guarding the temple [Note 1] was full of oil, fat head and big ears, and knew that half of it was for this fuel guzzler.

The veteran has been on duty in the General's Temple for many years, and he is also an acquaintance of the Han family. In fact, he had seen Han Gang wandering around the hall early on, but originally Han Gang was tall and big, and when he lifted his bow, he looked like a soldier. Now that he has lost weight, he wears a wide robe with large sleeves that makes people behave soothingly, but he has more of the ease of a literati. Han Gang's image changed so much that he couldn't recognize it for a while, and it wasn't until he got closer that he realized that this was the third child of the Han family.

"Is it the Han family's three talents? I can't recognize it after two years of not seeing it. ”

"Tsk, I've caught up with your father, and I'm getting more and more handsome. Walking to the street, I don't know how many little ladies can be attracted to take care of it. I will definitely be able to get married in the future. ”

"It's just that I'm still a little thin, and my illness hasn't healed yet, so I need to take care of it more. The day before yesterday, I heard that you were sick, and I was very worried. Brother Han and Sister-in-law A Li came to offer sesame oil, and I also added two catties of oil. ”

"I heard that these days, Sanxiucai you study every day, and you work much harder than before. In two years, we will definitely be able to take the Jinshi exam and come back, which will also make our village touch the light of Wenquxing. ”

The veteran crackled and said, Han Gang didn't even have a chance to interject, and he was forced to pull his sleeves and couldn't get out. Fortunately, there was a sound of people outside the temple, and he had to confess his guilt and escape from the temple.

Han Qianliu arrived with the invited guests, and Han Gang stood at the door and welcomed them in one by one. Everyone greeted each other for a while, and then it was time to start the feast.

The main hall of the General's Temple was not available to the Han family, so they only borrowed the side hall from the temple. Several tables were set up in the middle of the temple, and a group of people sat around. A few large pots of vegetables, meat vegetables, pigs, sheep and fish, vegetarian vegetables and lotus roots, leeks, and a table with a jar of wine, such a banquet is actually no different from later generations. Of course, there are still banquets in the world where one or two people can live at a single table, but that kind of banquet is not something that a poor family can afford.

The wine and food were soon placed on the table, and Han Qianliu raised the wine bowl, just thinking about thanking the neighbors for their kindness these days. But at this moment, a person walked into the door of the side hall, but it was Li Zheng Li Lezi.

Li Lezi arrived uninvited, and the atmosphere in the side hall suddenly cooled down. Everyone here knows that Li Lezi is not close to the Han family, and he seems to have a grudge because of the field recently, and he will not be good if he comes rashly.

Han Gang also felt that something was wrong in his heart. When he was seriously ill and bedridden, Li Lezi sold his land at home every day, and even did not let go of the only vegetable field left at the end. But since he recovered from his illness, he was scolded by Han Ah Li the day before yesterday, and this Li leper died down for a while. Now it suddenly pops up, but it doesn't look like he wants to rebuild with his own house. I heard that Master Li Zheng has been running to the city these days, and I don't know what he is secretly planning with his in-laws.

Han Gang is not worried that he can make any demon moths, the price of Guanxi fields is low, ordinary high-grade fields are only two or three times per acre, and the almost ones are only worth a few hundred or even hundreds of yuan, the Han family's three acres and two corners of the vegetable garden on the river bay are rich in fertility and excellent terrain, and they can be regarded as top-notch in the high-grade fields, Han Jiadian sold it to Li Lezi and collected ten and a half guans, and the actual value is about twenty guan.

However, he has to work until Chen Ju, and this amount of money is not even enough for him to open his mouth, and with his strength, it will take fifty or sixty times to buy him to say a word. For twenty times, spend fifty times, no one will be so stupid. If Li Lezi could only invite his in-laws, Han Gang, who was a scholar, would not take a county government head in his eyes. He sat quietly and watched what tricks Li Lezi could play.

Although it is a wicked guest, the host must also treat him with courtesy. Han Qianliu stood up and stepped forward: "It turned out that Li Zheng was here, I was so forgetful, but I forgot to invite you." How offended! How offended! It's a shame that the table hasn't opened yet, so I'll sit down and talk first. With that, he asked someone to bring another stool.

"Don't bother, I'll just say a word and leave!" Li Lezi waved his hand and smiled, "I came here today uninvited, as soon as I came, I came to congratulate Brother Han and your third brother is in good health." Second, if you have to talk to Brother Han, you have to talk to you. I have just received a letter from the county, and recently the county has been short of the central government, and all townships and villages have to arrange manpower. I read the list......" Li Lezi shook his head and sighed twice, "Brother Han, your name just happens!" ”

Note 1: The soldiers of the Northern Song Dynasty were not limited to fighting. In particular, the Xiang Army is engaged in all walks of life, but it is rare to go into battle, such as running the hall, there are hotel affairs, such as chopping wood, there are Qiao Cai commands, such as pulling fiber, there are Guangji Army, such as dredging rivers, and there are Qingtang Army...... And so on and so forth. And the temples that guarded the official sacrifices, and the chores for the officials' homes, were also used by soldiers.

PS: The first climax is coming. Brothers, don't be stingy with the red ticket in your hand!
