Originally, this winter, Xiang'an was shrouded in wet clouds, but after Yu Guozhen came back, the sky was rarely clear, and after complaining for a long time, the people in Xiang'an Town took out their wet quilts one after another.

Thanks to Yu Guozhen's blessing, because the Xiliu Courtyard has to raise such a large number of family guards, it also brings the livelihood of the people around Xiang'an to become better. Like Lei Jiu, who killed pigs, in the past, he just went to the village to transfer the household, which family wanted to kill the pig to help, and changed some pigs into the water, but since Yu Guozhen trained the guard, every day he transported pigs from the earth bridge to kill, and the pig was also marinated by him and sold at the nearby town wharf, and the family wealth is said to have been thousands of gold.

As a result, every household has an income and a better livelihood. The quilt in the winter is not stuffed with reed flowers, but cotton wool, six catties of nine catties, and the body will not catch a cold in winter.

Lei Jiu was shy and walked slowly on the streets of Xiang'an Town, and from time to time someone would greet him: "Lei Daguan." ”

"Haha."

He has indeed been upgraded, his family has some money, and the neighbors who originally called him Xiao Jiu in the town have now changed their names to call him Lei Daguanren, who is his own mother-in-law, and now he is also happy in bed, for fear that he will marry a concubine after he has more money.

But...... It seems good to marry a little concubine, there is a little wealth in the town, which is not three wives and four concubines, these days, the eldest girl is worthless, get a white and tender one to raise in another house...... "touch!" ”

Just when Lei Jiu wanted to get into trouble, he bumped into something head-on, and before he could come clearly, another scoop of cold water washed it down: "Wu Na Xiaojiu, dare to come to ask the old lady for cheap, could it be that he looks down on the old lady when he is developed?" ”

When I saw it, it was Mother Song in the town, Lei Jiu had just hit her head, she was holding a flat pole in her hand, and she was looking at Lei Jiu angrily.

"What Xiao Jiu, this official is a big man running to the sky, thunder is running to the sky!" Lei Jiu said angrily.

"Cut, your little bit of detail, the old lady doesn't know it, it's a stupid person to play small, so the nickname is a stupid child, but in the past two years, thanks to the blessing of Yu Xiaoguan, with a little net worth, he changed his stupidity to Ben, and added another Xiao word...... But in the eyes of the old lady, you are still the original Lei Xiaojiu Lei stupid! ”

Lei Jiu smiled bitterly, this Mother Song is a spicy person, she usually likes to be greedy for small gains, likes petty theft, and in the entire Xiang'an Town, she can be said to be invincible to all women. It's just that in the past two years, I have done some pulp washing and sewing for the Xiliu Courtyard, and my livelihood has gradually improved, and I have less quarrels with others, and I only occasionally practice my voice with a big man like him, so as not to lose the skills of the year. I can't fight, but I was bumped and poured cold water, and I couldn't stand myself without saying a word.

"Mother Song, if you hadn't eaten my marinated miscellaneous, you would still be shrunk in front of the stove and shivering, how could you have the spirit to quarrel with me here?"

"You fool, if it weren't for the guidance of a petty official, would your pig brain think of making your own sewer to make brine?"

The two of them were arguing, and on a carriage passing by them, someone lowered the curtain.

"Jimin is as his name suggests, and the old man gave him this word at the beginning, which is really right." Fang Yizhi smiled and said to Sun Lindao, who was sitting in front of him.

"Jimin has real talents, and you and I can compare." Sun Lin's voice was low, and he looked a little silent: "But he plays with his heart, and he is no worse than you and me." ”

"Haha, I have been playing for more than half a year, and it is said that I have fought with Haikou in Qinzhou."

Fang Yizhi also heard about Yu Guozhen's affairs in Qinzhou, but he only knew that he had attracted Haikou in Qinzhou and fought with Haikou, and he didn't know anything about the rest.

"I don't know if he's back now, if not, what should we do, go to Qinzhou to find him?"

"Let's go back to Tongcheng and have a look, since you come out, you have to relax."

Then there was silence, and neither of them was in a very good mood.

From the town to the Xiliu Courtyard, it was only a matter of a while, at the gate of the courtyard, their carriage was stopped, and they were only released when they learned that it was their uncle Fang Yizhi and his brother-in-law Sun Lin.

"Are you petty officials back?"

"I just came back yesterday, and the two gentlemen came at the right time."

After getting this reply, Fang Yizhi was overjoyed, looked back at Sun Lindao, and said: "Okay, okay, it's just an Oiran lady, there are three of them here in Jimin, you can come out and meet later, don't make it look like this!" ”

"But it made Mi Zhijian smile." Sun Lin was also a little embarrassed.

He married Fang Yizhi's sister, but he indulged in flowers in Yingtian City, and even fell in love with a famous concubine, but it was a pity that this famous concubine was snatched away by the powerful dignitary, which made Sun Lin depressed.

Fang Yizhi took him out to relax.

"Brother Mi, Brother Kexian, you two are really coincidental, if it is early, I have not come back, if it is a few days later, I will leave to find you in the sky, we will almost miss it!"

Yu Guozhen heard that the two were coming, and came out to greet each other with a smile, they parted for most of the year, and when they saw each other, they had to make fun of each other, but looking at Sun Lin's appearance, it seemed that he was unstoppable, and after asking more, he learned that the Qinglou woman he liked was actually taken away by Ying Tian's sincerity Bofu.

"Brother Kexian, this is not right, a man is ambitious in the world, how can he be so decadent because of a woman! Besides, you are married to the sister of the secret brother, and you have both virtue and grace, isn't it far better than a sister who comes from nowhere, and you don't know how to cherish it in your hands, but you go to ......"

Yu Guozhen was talking generously, at this moment, Liu Ru came out to serve tea, her color was like jade, her eyes were like water, Fang Yizhi and Sun Lin had not seen her for a long time, the so-called eighteen changes of the female university, and the original figure could only be vaguely found from the eyebrows. After she finished serving tea, Fang Yizhi and Sun Lin both stared at Yu Guozhen, so Yu Guozhen couldn't go on.

"Haha." Sun Lin sneered.

"Haha." Fang Yizhi also sneered.

"It seems that Jimin's marriage between you and Ziyi is near."

"It seems that Jimin, you have earned the nickname of the number one romantic person on the Qinhuai River in Jinling City."

"It seems that the little lady is the girl you brought back from Suzhou."

"It seems that in the first half of the year, you also kidnapped three of the eight oirans in Qin Huai."

These two people, you and I said one sentence, Yu Guozhen couldn't raise his head, and then the three of them laughed in unison, Yu Guozhen sighed: "This righteous gentleman can't pretend." ”

"Exactly, exactly, the heroic young man of my generation, just indulged in frivolity, how can he be like winter baking Confucianism, closing his eyes and talking about his heart?"

In any case, after Yu Guozhen's pretentiousness, Sun Lin's melancholy of losing his beauty has somewhat disappeared.

"Speaking of indulgence and frivolity, the younger brother recently got a strange article, and the two brothers can mention it."

Yu Guozhen welcomed the arrival of Fang Yizhi and Sun Lin with both hands, and he was asking Fang Yizhi to be useful. In the past half a year, Fang Yizhi has written a lot of articles in "Storm Collection", and his reputation among Shilin is even better, unlike Xu Xiake, who is somewhat obscure, he can be described as a new Confucian.

Moreover, Fang Yizhi's family history is very profound, and if he can get his help, then Yu Guozhen's plan to dig up Donglin and restore the foundation of the society this time will be half successful.

"Oh, even Jimin said it was Qiwen, it must be interesting." Fang Yizhi didn't care at first.

"If so, if so, take out the article signed with Xia's name under my box." Yu Guozhen said.

After a while, Liu Ru took the article over, and presented the article in front of Fang Yizhi, after Fang Yizhi read it, he was silent, Sun Lin felt curious, and took it over to take a look.

The main title is written with the five words "Evolutionary Celestial Evolutionary Theory", and Sun Lin couldn't help but change his expression: "Evolutionary Celestial Evolution, such a big tone, could it be that he studied astronomy privately?" ”

While talking, he read on, but the result is that this article talks about the change of species, and the evolution of nature corresponds to the changes of human beings, and finally comes to the two conclusions of "natural selection of the fittest to survive" and "the world will be better than the present".

"Really...... It's really ......."

After reading it, Sun Lin was also dumb, and for a while, he didn't know how to evaluate it.

The Confucianism of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Confucianism of the late Ming Dynasty, was at the time of great turmoil, and because of the active commodity economy and the inspiration of foreign culture, there were signs of a hundred schools of thought contending again, and it can almost be said that there was a trend of the Chinese Renaissance.

If there is no external force to interrupt, an era of ideological prosperity and prosperity is just around the corner.

Therefore, Sun Lin is not old-fashioned, and he does not resist the acceptance of new ideas, but the views in "The Theory of Evolutionary Evolution" still make him feel wrong.

He was not as knowledgeable as Fang Yizhi, and felt that it was wrong, but what was wrong, what was wrong, but he couldn't think of it for a while, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided to ask Fang Yizhi for advice, but he pulled Fang Yizhi by the hand, but found that his uncle was still stunned.

"Secret, secret!"

"Ahh

Fang Yizhi came back to his senses at this time, he clenched his fists and looked at Yu Guozhen excitedly: "This old Xia ...... Who is it? ”

"Jiangyin Xu Hongzu, good friends with Qian Muzhai, because he likes to travel, he has no intention of fame, when I was in Qinzhou, he went to Qinzhou with Shidian to find me." Yu Guozhen said with a smile: "Then I was captured by the thieves, trapped in the thief's village, and suddenly realized that I had this strange theory...... Does Brother Secret think it is reasonable? ”

"Reasonable, so reasonable, I have been thinking about why the trees in the north are more coniferous, and the trees in the south are more broad-leaved, this principle can be proven, the north is bitter cold, in order to adapt to its environment, the leaves are needle-shaped, the south is warm, in order to adapt to its environment, the leaves are wide and ......"

"It's useless to tell me this, Xia Lao travels all over the world, and the two brothers want to see each other?"

"If you want to see, of course you want to see, such a strange text, if you don't see it, wouldn't it be a lifelong regret!" Fang Yizhi said excitedly.

Xu Xiake is in Xiang'an, but he is also an idle surname, he went to play everywhere, when Yu Guozhen sent someone to find him back, Fang Yizhi respectfully asked him for advice, he also saw Fang Yizhi's "Physics Knowledge", and he greatly appreciated this young junior, so he shared some things that he did not write in the text.

Yu Guozhen is very satisfied with this, it is obvious that Fang Yizhi was persuaded by Xu Xiake's theory, Xu Xiake writes a travelogue very well, but the pen battle against scolding is not necessarily his strength, and his status in the academic community is also limited, but if there is more Fang Yizhi, the next issue of "Storm Collection" will have some flavor.

"Don't you want my movable type printing and ink, in that case, let's try the power of both first." Yu Guozhen thought to himself.
