Before dinner, Gu Mengping led Gongsun to meet the old monk.

The old monk seemed to know nothing about what was happening in the courtyard, and asked Gongsun Yuan a few questions at random.

Gongsun Yuan answered one by one, and then went out of the upper room.

In fact, Gu Mengping was not prepared to leave them at home for the night.

But after eating, Jia Mu came to him with a red face and said a lot of inconsequential words.

Gu Mengping still understood, it turned out that his belly pocket was not lost......

Although Jia Mu was red-faced and had the reserve of the girl's family, he apologized to Gongsun Yuan in the end.

At this time, the outer three rooms owe Gongsun Yuan a big favor! After asking Gongsun Yuan to find a place to stay now, Gu Mengping went to ask the old monk and Lao Anren, and asked Gongsun Yuan and his party to rest at home for the night.

Originally, Gongsun Yuan was going to leave on the second day, and the old monk asked Gongsun Yuan to speak.

The old monk seemed to like Gongsun Yuan a lot, and they talked happily.

For this reason, Gu Mengping didn't want Gongsun Yuan to leave early.

What's more, he also heard Gongsun Yuan say that he just travels at will, and he can stay anywhere.

So, he persuaded Gongsun Yuan to stay in the third room for a few more days.

Gongsun Yuan resigned several times, but in the end he decided to stay.

In this way, there were suddenly more people in the outer three rooms.

But there are also advantages to having more people.

Yingsleeve has now found someone to play with......

She became good friends with Gongsun Yuan's cousin Gongsun Dechang.

If you want to talk about how this young man and a girl became good friends, Gu Mengping didn't believe it.

However, Dechang dispelled his doubts in his heart with a word, "If my sister is alive, she must be as cute as Sister Yingsleeve." ”

In ancient times, due to the low scientific and technological strength and poor medical conditions, it was difficult for women to give birth, and the growth of children was also extremely difficult.

Not to mention the homes of ordinary people.

As soon as Dechang said this, Gu Mengping was relieved.

Jiang Sixian was also asked to inquire about their origins. Jiang Sixian just glanced at it and said that this road is true.

Next February is the children's exam, and August is the triennial competition, during this time there are many scholars who take advantage of the last year to travel, but most of these people are not too far from home.

However, there are also some scholars who have traveled for too long, or who are sick on the way and can't get home in time.

Therefore, the court thought about these people and allowed these people who had no time to go home to catch the exam in other places.

Runing Mansion, as the land of Longxing of the Taizu of this dynasty, has always had a large number of places for the imperial examination. For the sake of these places, many students who have not had time to go home rush to Runing Mansion before the exams every year.

Gongsun Yuan and Gongsun Dechang must belong to such a situation.

It's just that Dechang likes martial arts, and he doesn't like to read, and most of the time he will be a martial arts champion in the future.

If you want to talk about the age of the two, Gongsun Yuan is the oldest, and Gu Mengping is a few years younger than him.

Gongsun thought that he had received a Confucian education, and should be the most learned among them. I didn't expect Gu Mengping, who I met in this small county town, to be so good at learning, and many of his remarks were heard for the first time.

And what he admired the most was the old monk who rarely came out in the upper room, the old monk spoke elegantly, and had compassion for heaven and people, quite a feeling of 'heaven and earth are born with me, and all things are one with me'.

He is obviously a monk, but in the eyes of Gongsun Yuan, he is more like a hermit, reckless, free, and self-satisfied......

Reading Shi's book, deeply understanding the reality, referring to Confucius, erudition is undoubted, and Haoran does not see its end.

Perhaps, this person is the source of Gu Mengping's self-confidence.

In this way, Gongsun and his entourage stayed here with Gu Mengping. If Gu Mengping went to Runing Mansion to attend classes, he would stay at home to read Gu Mengping's notes and reading experience, and then copy them down, and when he read them, he would slap the table and applaud.

New friends came to the outer three rooms, and the happiest were Gu Xingyun and Gu Shaohua. The two of them are irritable and steady, but they are miserable green boys in their bones.

On weekdays, I am good friends with the children of big families like Suiping in the family, where have I seen characters like Gongsun Yuan and Dechang.

But after a few days together, they began to meet by name.

Gu Xingyun saw that the outer three-room house was cramped, and even encouraged Gongsun to go to live in his house.

As a result, Gu Shaohua knocked him on the head, so he gave up.

Although Gu Xingyun has a short temper, he is a very good person, because his parents died early, and he is not spoiled by the old patriarch, he is almost twelve years old, and he still has a mouth like a child. But Gongsun likes his temperament and treats him a little differently. In his words, there are so many brothers and relatives in the family, everyone wears a mask, and they don't know what is going on in his heart, and if you really believe that he will smile at you, then you will really suffer a big loss.

Gu Mengping's face was calm when he heard this, but his eyes flashed slightly.

The old monk also has more things to do now, and often sits in the study and watches them debate.

If you're interested, you'll interject a few words.

When he spoke, several juniors would invariably stop and listen to him with bated breath.

For a while, don't do it in autumn, don't do it in winter.

There were fewer pedestrians on the streets of Suiping, and in their place were falling leaves.

However, compared with the scarcity of pedestrians, there are more and more people reading books.

Because of the funeral, Gu Mengping couldn't go out at will, and he only went to Runing Mansion or Dongfu and Dazong on weekdays. Gongsun Yuan went out with Gu Xingyun and Gu Shaohua every few days, and they were left in several teahouses in Suiping.

Gu Mengping also saw that this grandson was afraid that his family was extremely rich.

In addition to Gongsun Dechang, there were five subordinates around him, some specialized in cooking, some specialized in horses, and some close waiting......

Ever since he moved into the outer third room, Kamu hasn't been in the kitchen.

He only ate one meal cooked by Jia Mu, and invited her back to the West Wing to embroider on the grounds that Jia Mu was naturally delicate and not suitable for kitchen fumes.

The cook named Ren Biao he brought came in handy.

Before the first heavy snowfall, one of Gongsun Yuan's several subordinates left the outer third room under the pretext of delivering letters at home in the past.

"I've been out for so long, and I don't know what's going on at home." Gongsun Yuan clicked on a sunspot, and frowned as he looked at the sunspot that had been killed a little on the chess scale.

If each chess piece on the scale is a city, he doesn't have many cities left. But Gu Mengping was still aggressive and didn't leave him any leeway. In less than half an hour, whether it was blocking, blocking, or topping, his territory was dying out rapidly.

"The mother of the child is worried, presumably the father and mother of the distant brother are worried about the distant brother at this time." Gu Mengping held a white piece in his hand and quietly filled in a chess eye.

Gongyuansun's eyes froze, and many complicated emotions flashed in his eyes.

Is this asking why he didn't come home?

The sunspot in his hand paused and sighed softly, "If you go back at this time, I'm afraid it's too late, it's about to be the New Year." ”

Gu Mengping raised his eyes to look at him, and his smile contained sincerity, "As long as you want to go home, no matter how far it is, it's not too far." ”

"yes." Gongsun lowered his eyelids and fiddled with the tea cup in his hand.

"I'm sorry, I won this game again." Gu Mengping laughed and put the white piece in his hand in the chess urn.

Gongsun Yuan glanced at the chess scales and couldn't help but stare at it.

After being silent for a long time, he sighed: "I lost again, I'm really unwilling." ”

Outside the window, snow was falling.

One by one, crystal like jade.

Yingsleeve screamed violently in the courtyard, and ran all over the ground with joy, staring at the sky without blinking.

"Look, it's snowing."

Grandpa ran out of oil and dried up, and he couldn't speak, without eating or drinking for several days. used to be a big man of 1.8 meters, but now he is very thin...... Grandpa had a difficult life, and when he was fifty years old, his grandmother died, and he refused to remarry...... bought a house for his two uncles and arranged for their marriage, and raised them after giving birth to grandchildren...... The grandchildren grew up one by one and became families, and he also grew old......

I feel that life is really like a white horse, and it is fleeting.

One generation is old, one generation is new, and the cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death continues.

In the future, I will also grow old and walk slowly to the grave......

Yesterday, for this reason, the computer was not turned on for a day. Standing in front of his grandfather's hospital bed, he kept looking at him......

Spending more time with him may be the last thing I can do!

PS: My cold is slowly getting better, and I can update it normally from tomorrow, and I will slowly make up for what I owe.
