Luan Yi also disliked Lao Zhuang from the bottom of his heart, and said yes again and again.

Luan Tao also said: The family's property will eventually be handed over to you to take care of, so while studying the scriptures, you must also have an understanding of business. After speaking, the old man shouted outside the door: "Laifu, move the set of "Pipes" in the old man's study to the young master's room. ”

"Pipes?" Luan Yi was stunned.

"How?" Luan Tao snorted coldly, "Don't want to read "Pipe"? Do you also think that businessmen are lowly? The old man told you, don't think that you kid will forget the book after reading the poem for two days. ”

"The child never thinks the merchant is low." Luan Yi hurriedly explained, "The reason why my grandson was surprised just now was because my grandson had been looking for a volume of "Guanzi" to read for many days. But I searched all over the academy and went to the town book market a few times, but I couldn't find this book. I didn't expect that 'there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it', this book is available at home, so I am quite happy. ”

"There is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get them." Luan Tao's eyes lit up, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised again, "Yi'er has indeed grown, and the metaphor described is very apt." Since I like this book, then study it hard, and the next time I come back from leave, the old man will definitely take the school exam. ”

Luan Yi felt a warm current flow around him. In my memory, my grandfather hadn't called himself by the milk name "Yi'er" for a long time. Today's change must be regarded as identifying with himself to a certain extent, and his bad deeds in the past will disappear with the increasing prominence of his achievements. He hurriedly got up and said, "My grandson will definitely live up to my grandfather's high expectations." ”

Luan Tao stood up and patted Luan Yi's shoulder gently, "Okay!" Today's car and horses are tired, presumably you are also tired, go back to the house to freshen up and rest! ”

Walking out of the main room and on the way back to the room, Luan Yi couldn't help but feel sad when he saw the familiar soft couch and table through the crack in the door.

Luan Yi's room is next door to his brother. At this time, Luan Fu and Luan Yi's personal maid Cui'er was waiting outside the door, and when she saw Luan Yi walking into the courtyard, she took the initiative to greet her. "Second Young Master, the water is ready, please take a bath!"

"Oh!" Luan Yi answered lazily, and when he raised his eyes, Xiao Cui suddenly felt inferior. Xiao Cui, who is only 5 years older than Luan Yi, is already more than 5 feet tall at this time, three heads taller than him.

When she pushed the door into the house, Xiao Cui asked vividly, "Do you need me to serve you in the bath?" ”

Luan Yiden was embarrassed, he didn't want to be bare-bottomed, a little girl standing next to him stared at him, and from time to time he had to touch two handfuls on him. Thinking of this, his cheeks suddenly flushed. yelling "No need, Yi won't trouble Sister Xiaocui", hid in the house in three steps and two steps, and hurriedly inserted the latch of the door, leaning against the door, for fear that Xiaocui would break in.

At this time, I heard a burst of giggling laughter coming from outside the door, which was also mixed with Luan Fu's laughter that had become low due to forbearance.

"These two people are making fun of me!" Luan Yi shook his head helplessly.

The "Pipe" mentioned by his grandfather Luan Tao had been sent into the room by the servants, and the bamboo slips were piled up in the corner of the collapse on the west side, as high as a hill. Luan Yi stepped forward and flipped through it roughly, which was not the same as what he remembered. In his previous life, economics was his major, and he also read "Pipe". remembers that there are only 76 "Pipes" in the 21st century, but there are as many as 86 "Pipes" given to him by Luan Tao in front of him. Thinking that the version given by Luan Tao is more detailed, 10 articles have been lost in the smoke of history in later generations.

"It's a long time ahead and I'm busy." Putting down the scroll, Luan Yi took off his robe and got into the prepared bath. I have to say that Xiaocui, this girl is very considerate, and she has known all aspects of his living habits since she was a child, even the temperature of the bath water is just right. It's just that those unknown herbs sprinkled in the water taste a little strange.

The room was steaming hot, and suddenly, Luan Yi felt that the steam in front of him was like gunsmoke, and in 9 years, the Han Empire would be covered by gunsmoke, would he still be able to take such a hot bath at that time? Can your rich family survive that tragic war? Even if they survive, how will their children and grandchildren deal with the chaos in the future? Luan Yi didn't dare to think about it...... He felt that time was running out.

The next day is the traditional festival Qingming Festival. Early in the morning, the Luan family was busy. His father, Luan Miao, arranged the ancestral hall and placed offerings; The second uncle, Luan, instructed the family to clean the house and courtyard, while the mother arranged catering in the backyard. made the house boiling, and Luan Yi couldn't sleep if he wanted to.

At the time of the hour, that is, before breakfast. Relatives from all walks of life of the Luan family helped the old and the young to come to the door one after another, including many grandparents, they were the brothers or cousins of their grandfather Luan Tao, and took their children and grandchildren to the patriarch's house to worship their ancestors.

The originally spacious courtyard suddenly became crowded. Luan Yi counted it simply, and there were more than 100 people.

Luan Yi didn't like to be lively, and wanted to stay in the house and read. But as the eldest grandson, he had to come out to socialize on such a major festival day. I had to follow my grandfather and father in the crowd and salute and force a smile.

At three o'clock, more than 100 people shared the morning food, and the scene was quite spectacular. At the end of the feast, the men in the family cleaned their hands and dusted, and marched to the ancestral hall. Diao Luan's is also in the team as the head of the house.

In front of the ancestral hall, Luan Tao first reported to the ancestral spirit position about the work of the descendants of the Luan family in the past year. said that although the world is not good, the whole family works together to drag the ancestors to Hongfu, and the industry is reasonable; A new house has been added to the family, and the grandchildren's studies have also made significant progress......

Luan Tao sprinkled and chattered for more than half an hour before leading the crowd to present the offerings, and then bowed. In the process of prostration, in order to show filial piety, everyone howls and weeps either really or falsely. Luan Yi also followed behind, pretending to wipe tears.

was crying, but I heard the crying in front of me fiercely, the voice was very familiar, not who the mother was. Among them, at the bottom of the ancestral tablet, on the seat of Luan Yi's generation, a spirit card is particularly conspicuous. Luan's family, Luan Tao's grandson Luan Xun's position - it turned out to be the spiritual seat of his brother who was newly mourned at the beginning of the year.

When Diao Luan saw his son's tablet, he burst out with surging sadness, crying incessantly, and fainted directly, was carried out of the ancestral hall by the maid, and went back to the room.

The white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and the brother's death was so unjust. Is there anything more tragic in this world?

After the ancestor worship ended, there was another Hongda banquet in the mansion. At this point, the festival has ended, so it is possible to drink alcohol at the meeting. For a while, the cups were staggered, so it was not lively. But Luan Yi couldn't keep his spirits alive, and his mother's tears infected him, making him unable to stop thinking about his lovely and amiable brother.

Glancing at his relatives who were chatting and laughing, he couldn't help but ask himself: Shouldn't Qingming be sad? Why is everyone laughing, as if Qingming Festival is a day of reunion and joy, rather than a day of grief.

At noon the next day, Luan Yi was reading "Pipe" in the house and was reading it energetically. A family member came to report that someone was looking for him. Luan Yi put down the scroll and took Luan Fu out to find out, and saw Guo Jia, Shan Fu, Xi Zhicai, and Mao Jue far away from the gate. Only then did he remember that the home of the four was not far from him.

Luan Yi was pleasantly surprised: "Why are you here?" ”

"What? Not welcome? Xi Zhicai squeezed his eyebrows.

"How could it be! I wish you would come often! Luan Yi smiled, "Go, go, go to the house to talk." With that, he introduced the three little friends into his room, and asked Xiaocui to prepare some snacks and make some tea in the kitchen.

During the chat, Luan Yi learned that after the two brothers completed the task of worshiping their ancestors, they were bored, so they decided to go to Luan Yi's house to play with him.

After lamenting the scale of Luan Yi's house, Guo Jia began to look back and forth at Luan Yi's room, and when he saw the bamboo slips spread out on Luan Yi's books, he asked in surprise: "How did Brother Yi read "Pipe"? ”

"Huh?" If Guo Jia's expression can be regarded as surprise, then Mao Jue's expression should be called shock. "Brother Yi'er, don't you want to be an official, and you can't prepare your son to inherit his father's business and do business?"

Luan Yi looked at Shan Fu with wide eyes, staring directly at himself, and hurriedly explained that there was no such thing, he still wanted to be a scholar, and the reason why he read "Guanzi" was to master more knowledge. The so-called "art is not pressing"! In addition, he also explained that "Pipe" actually has little to do with choosing to be an official or doing business. Scholars can still learn a lot from "Guanzi", after all, Guan Zhong, the founder of the ideological system of this book, was the prime minister of Qi at that time, and if it were not for his assistance, Duke Qi Huan would not have become the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period.

Guo Jia nodded with a wink. "That's exactly what happened! Then you can borrow me to read it after reading it. ”

Luan Yi nodded in agreement, but he had to return it after reading it. This year is different from the next generation, any set of books is a treasure, if the book is added to everyone's notes, it is even more priceless.

Guo Jia nodded. Flipping through Luan Yi's collection of books, he suddenly said in a lonely voice: "Brother Yi, I've been a little confused lately. ”

"Huh? What kind of problem can stump the ghost Guo Jia? Luan Yi couldn't help but smile.

"Ghosts? What the hell? Guo Jia was puzzled.

Luan Yi realized that he accidentally leaked his mouth and confided in the evaluation of Guo Jia in later generations. hurriedly snorted and bypassed the topic, "Say, what problems have you encountered?" ”

Guo Jia scratched his head and said, "I still can't figure out how reading these poems will help me become an official in the future." ”

Luan Yi smiled. He really summed up this question. He explained: "Yi fool thinks that there are four steps in the life of a human being. What are the four steps? Self-cultivation, Qi family, ruling the country and leveling the world. The self-cultivation is a journey, and it is divided into three sections. The subset of the history of our generation's study of the scriptures, reading the Tao of Confucius and Mencius, and the words of Huang Lao, is the foundation of self-cultivation and learning how to be a man, which is the beginning of self-cultivation. Yi once heard people say, 'The husband uses copper as a mirror, and he can be dressed properly; With history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; With people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses. It can be seen from this that reading the "Spring and Autumn Period" and studying the "Historical Records" is also very useful, and when we are in charge of politics in the future, it can help us learn from history, take the essence of it, and use it to ensure that the administration is not biased. In this way, the study of historical collections is the foundation of self-cultivation. ”

Guo Jia, Shan Fu, Xi Zhicai, and Mao Jue were all lit up when they heard this, and they nodded more than once. "What Yi Ge'er said is very reasonable."
