"Grandma, open the door, my grandson has come to see you!"

Standing outside the courtyard of Xia Jizu's house, while knocking on the door, Xia Yuanding shouted for people to open the door. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Stop shouting, it's coming!"

The courtyard door slowly opened, and Xia Yuanding saw that the kind grandmother's kind eyes kept looking at him.

"Grandma, do you think I'm getting taller again?"

"Let me take a closer look, it's grown taller, I'm afraid it won't be long before I can catch up with me!"

Holding grandma's hand, the two of them walked into the house, from grandma's words, Xia Yuanding already knew that grandpa was not at home now, where could he go at this time.

"You have a fun session first, there is food here, the old man will come back in wait!"

When he heard his grandmother call his grandfather an old man, Xia Yuanding couldn't help laughing, the old man is good!

Taking advantage of the absence of grandpa and grandma, Xia Yuanding tried the chair that his grandfather sat on when he was a guest.

As soon as I sat down, I actually felt a cool feeling under my buttocks, this chair was wide and comfortable, except for being a little tall for the current Xia Yuanding, there were absolutely no other shortcomings.

He just tried it, and when he heard the courtyard door knocked again, Xia Yuanding quickly got off the chair and ran to open the door.

"Grandpa, you're back!" Opening the door, Xia Yuanding showed a smile and said.

"You little thing, you can't read well, why did you run to grandpa here!" Seeing that it was his grandson who opened the door, Xia Jizu scolded with a smile, looking in a good mood.

"Grandpa, I went to the town with my father today, and met the Yang family's staff and Fei Xiucai from Feijia Village, Yang Yuanwai wrote a letter of worship, and we brought it back!" As he walked, he said that after entering the main house, Xia Yuanding took out the worship post without hurry.

This prayer post is not what it used to be, Xu is Xia Yuanding didn't pay attention to protecting it along the way, and there were already many folds on the envelope. Fortunately, Xia Jizu didn't care about this, and while walking to his seat, he opened the envelope and looked at the content of the post in detail.

The content of the worship post is not very long, that is, it is a matter of eye-catching, Xia Jizu finished reading the content of the letter, he put the letter on the table next to him, and asked: "This Yang family's door, are there two stone lions in front of the gate, and there are three locust trees in the courtyard?" ”

There are two stone lions in front of the door, Xia Yuanding is clear, as for the locust tree, there are also, how many are there, Xia Yuanding didn't pay attention to it.

"Grandpa, there are still a few Yang families in this town, and Fei Xiucai is also here, so it won't be fake!"

Listening to Xia Yuanding's words, Xia Jizu smiled bitterly and shook his head, his unfinished appearance was really unpredictable.

Xia Yuanding thought that his grandfather would be about to leave if he didn't speak again, but how could Xia Jizu let him get his wish, and said: "Let me ask you, Fei Xiucai from Feijia Village came to visit me last time, you were taking an exam at the time, and I don't want to ask you, now it's just right, you come and tell me, Fei Xiucai once heard a poem from your mouth, how did you answer?" ”

"Grandpa, what are you talking about, I don't understand, don't tease your grandson, I've been on the road for a day, my grandson is very hungry, if you're fine, let me go back!"

"You, the most cunning, don't go back at night, eat here, grandpa won't ask you anything else, I'll test you today!"

Hearing this, Xia Yuanding was a little embarrassed, and said in his heart why was his grandfather so keen to inspect him as soon as they met, how long has it been, even if he studies every moment, how much can he learn in such a short time!

"Grandpa, haven't you just inspected your grandson's knowledge, why don't you wait a few more days?" Xia Yuanding tried to ask.

Xia Jizu looked at him and said, "This time, if you don't look at anything else, just look at what you see and hear, okay?" ”

What he saw and heard, what kind of investigation is this, Xia Yuanding wondered, he wanted to say it badly, but he could only say it well. It's like someone slaps you in the face and asks if you're comfortable, but you can only say it's comfortable. Who is born with masochism, and not all of them are forced.

"Then the grandson will listen to it!" Xia Yuanding straightened his clothes and looked like he was being taught.

"Well, let me ask you first, what tree is the most noble in the eyes of the reader?" Xia Jizu asked with a smile.

Seeing Xia Jizu's appearance, Xia Yuanding felt that this problem would not be a pit! What tree is the most noble, how does he know, this question, Xia Jizu will not teach, except for you to understand it in life.

Willow tree, the first thing Xia Yuanding thought of was the willow tree, without it, the willow tree is too common, and there are many allusions about it, who will not plant a few willow trees. There may also be pines and cypresses, symbolizing the character of readers, isn't it often lamented that "the year is cold, and then the pines and cypresses wither".

Suddenly, Xia Yuanding thought of what his grandfather had asked before, and his heart began to stir. When Grandpa asked the Yang family, he suddenly said that the locust tree, this is obviously not a casual question, Xia Yuanding calculated so in his heart.

Looking up at his grandfather, Xia Yuanding whispered, "I guess it's the locust tree?" ”

After finishing speaking, Xia Yuanding waited anxiously for his grandfather's answer, no matter what the result was, it was not good for him, it was needless to say that he guessed wrong, and it was opportunistic to guess correctly, there was nothing to show off.

Xia Jizu said calmly: "Yes, it is indeed a locust tree, so you can guess next, why is this locust tree the most noble?" ”

Hearing his grandfather ask, Xia Yuanding lowered his face, he knew that it was not so simple, it turned out that the pit was waiting here, he jumped down like that just now, he knew that it was better to be relieved by others, but now it is okay, and he has to continue to guess.

"This, the locust tree, I often hear people say, a locust tree in front of the door, the wealth is rolling in, it has an auspicious symbol. Also, the whole body of the locust tree is a treasure, the locust leaves can be used for medicine, the locust branches can be used for medicine, the roots of locust can be used for medicine, and the horns of locust can be used for medicine......"

Although Xia Yuanding was not nonsense, it seemed that there was a big difference from the questions asked, so his answers were all off-topic. Although in private, he often describes himself as a jade tree in the wind, but he doesn't know that the jade tree may be the locust tree.

As for the locust tree, the reason why it is lofty in the eyes of scholars is because the locust tree symbolizes the "three princes" and symbolizes the highest position of officials. "Huai" and "Huai" have the same sound, "Huaimin" means, "Huailai is here, and I want to be with it".

"Huaiding" is a metaphor for the position of "three princes"; "Huaiwang" describes the good reputation of the minister; "Huai ribbon" refers to the "three public" seals; "Huaiye" refers to the imperial court, and there are countless words related to Huai.

Interrupting Xia Yuanding's words, Xia Jizu began a tirade, I have to say that Xia Yuanding has increased his knowledge again, although he doesn't know what substantive help he has to understand these, but it is better to understand than not to understand.

This conversation was a bit whimsical, the grandparents and grandchildren both thought of something and said something, unconsciously, until grandma called him to eat, Xia Yuanding felt a little hungry, thinking that grandma should help when cooking. Thinking that usually, it should be my grandmother who is busy working alone, like my grandfather, who must be far away from the kitchen, and someone should really come over to help.

I always wanted to talk about that delicate girl, but Xia Yuanding didn't find the right time to see if there was a chance to talk about it during dinner, and I don't know what grandpa thinks about this matter.

"You are blessed, take a look, your second uncle made up a fish in the river, and he was not willing to eat it, so he sent it to us, you can taste it first!"

Hearing his grandmother's words, Xia Yuanding was very happy, and when he saw the still steaming fish on the plate, he really wanted to eat a piece with chopsticks immediately. This black fish is not big, and it doesn't seem to have grown yet, but the meat of the black fish is good, and the soup cooked is delicious.

The rules still have to be followed, and the rules can't be abolished because of gluttony, or wait for the elder to move the chopsticks before he can move.

"Don't be busy, let's start eating!" Xia Jizu was also hungry, attracted by the aroma of this meal, and also had an appetite.

Xia Shouzhi was not worried, knowing that Xia Yuanding had been there for so long and not coming back, Xu guessed that he might have stayed to eat and not leave, so Xia Yuanding could talk to his grandfather very happily.

The fish is very good, but Xia Yuanding heard that it was sent by the second uncle's family, but he was a little unhappy in his heart, and several cousins had never tasted it, but he ate it first. In addition, he has been studying hard, and it seems that he has become a little estranged from several cousins, and now he doesn't know what they are busy with all day!
