Entering through the back door, passing through the small garden, through a narrow hall, you will see a large rectangular patio, there are two potted Huangtang Tang on the side of the patio, the yellow and pink flowers have withered, the southwest side of the patio is connected to two two-story wooden buildings, Zhang Yuan's mother Lu Shi lives in the south building, Zhang Yuan lives in the west building, and there is a row of earthen wall tile houses on the other side of the hall, which is the residence of the cook, sundries and servants.

The little girl Rabbit Pavilion poked her head out of the railing, stretched her neck and called, "Young Master, Mrs. is looking for you." ”

Jiangnan Shieun family, the next people call the master master, call the master mother grandma, and call the master mother Mrs., Zhang Yuan's family only has two girls, one is this rabbit pavilion, Zhang Yuan doesn't know why this girl's name is so weird, it should be the name given by his father Zhang Ruiyang when he bought this girl.

Mother Lu Shi had already appeared on the side of the corridor on the second floor and asked, "Yuan'er, where have you been, this hot day, oh, wearing an eye patch." ”

- Although it is the fusion of the souls of the two lives, but Zhang Yuan's feelings for his mother Lu have not been affected in any way, his mother's love has been reduced to the marrow of the marrow, deep and deep, because of Zhang Yuan's eye disease, Lu Shi sought medical advice everywhere, and his hair turned white, fortunately, the famous doctor Lu Yungu of Shaoxing said very clearly that he could cure Zhang Yuan's eye disease, and Lu Shi was a little relieved, these days, every night before going to bed, Lu Shi had to sit at the head of his son's bed, fan his son with a pu fan to cool down, and recite the "Mantra of the White Clothed Master" over and over again, Praying to the South China Sea Guanyin Bodhisattva to let her child's eye disease be cured, Zhang Yuan fell asleep under the sound of his mother's chanting, feeling very relieved -

"The child went to the back of the arch bridge to cool off, what did the mother command?" Zhang Yuan raised his head and asked.

Lu said: "Your father Toxi Zhang's brother sent a letter back, and my mother read it to you. ”

The little girl rabbit pavilion "Dong Dong Dong" came downstairs and said, "Young master, the little maid helped you upstairs." Stretched out his hand into Zhang Yuan's palm.

Zhang Yuan held the hand of the little girl, the rabbit pavilion is only ten years old this year, the hand is very small and soft, Zhang Yuan can not open his eyes for more than two months, he can't remember what the rabbit pavilion looks like, the impression is combing two maids, two big eyes are curious and timid, it is a bit like a little rabbit, is this the origin of the name of the rabbit pavilion?

Zhang Yuan went up to the second floor, the weather was hot, and he couldn't stay in the room, so the big girl Yiting moved two bamboo chairs and placed them on the corridor for Lu Shi and Zhang Yuan to sit.

Through the gap in the railing, Lu Shi saw that Wu Ling by the patio below was still grinning, so he asked, "Yuan'er, what are you playing under the stone bridge, Wu Ling is smiling so well?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "The child played a game of chess with Zhang Cao and won. ”

Lu Shi exclaimed: "You took off your blindfold!" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "I didn't pick it, the child played blindfolded chess." ”

Lu didn't know how to play chess, he didn't know the difficulty of blindfolded chess, and he didn't care, but he just told his son to follow what Lu Yungu said, and then read a letter to his son.

Zhang Yuan's father Zhang Ruiyang wanted to pass the imperial examination in his early years, but until he was thirty years old, he didn't even make up for a student, and he had to find another way out, please ask Zhang Rusen, the uncle of Xi Zhang, to find a poor history in the Kaifeng Zhou Palace, this is a small official who does not enter the product, Zhang Ruiyang has been working in the Zhou Wangfu for more than ten years, cautious, diligent, and finally rose to the long history of Peng, from the nine products, sixty stones per year, thirty taels of silver, that is, Zhang Cao's five small goldfish money, but for Zhang Yuan's family, these silver can be of great use-

Zhang Yuan's family has 120 acres of land on the east bank of Jianhu Lake, two taxes to be paid a year, summer tax to collect wheat, autumn grain to levy rice, Zhang Juzheng in the early years of Wanli reformed taxation, the implementation of "a whip law", summer tax and autumn grain no longer receive in kind, all converted into silver to hand in, this is certainly convenient, but for the male and female weaving self-sufficiency and no silver source of the household, it is troublesome, have to use rice and wheat to exchange for silver, and every tax month, the rice and wheat is pressed to the very cheap, can not be sold at the due price, very loss, Zhang Yuan's family has more than 100 acres of land and the annual tax silver is not a small amount, as well as the silver cost of conscription, common use, servants, and hired workers, and the silver turnover sent back by Zhang Ruiyang, the family is rich, Zhang Ruiyang's annual silver is thirty taels, but there are sixty taels sent back every year, which shows that there is still a bit of oil and water in the Zhou Wangfu errand -

Because of the long distance, Zhang Ruiyang only returned to Shaoxing once in two or three years, and left again after living for less than two months, Zhang Yuan was relatively indifferent to his father's feelings, this time Zhang Yuan suffered from a serious eye disease, and the Lu family originally had to send a letter to Zhang Ruiyang to report the emergency, and then he was treated by Lu Yungu, so he planned to write a letter after Zhang Yuan's eye disease was cured.

So Zhang Ruiyang didn't know that his son had an eye disease, the letter said that Zhang Yuan was fifteen years old, don't just know how to play, should go to social studies, three or four years later, after academic success, and then take the county school exam, the county school exam once a year, as long as the ranking of each exam improves, before the age of 30, strive to be admitted to the middle school student Xiucai, so that you can be exempted from military service......

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but shake his head: Before the age of thirty, is the requirement high or low for Xiucai?

Seeing his son shaking his head, Lu Shi thought that his son did not want to go to social studies to study, so he hurriedly said: "Your father doesn't know your current situation, of course, the matter of studying and studying will wait until your eyes are better, it doesn't matter if you don't like to read, as long as my son's eyes are good, whether he reads or not is secondary." ”

Zhang Yuan's eye disease this time frightened the Lu family, if her son's eyes couldn't get better, it would be difficult to even marry a wife, so she only begged her son to be free from illness and disaster, and didn't think about anything else.

Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "The child's eyes will definitely be good, and the book must be read, the mother can rest assured." ”

"Good boy, good boy." Zhang's mother Lu smiled, Yuan'er was not only sensible and polite, but also calmed down a lot, and only hoped that Yuan'er's eye disease would be cured as soon as possible.

The eldest girl Yiting looked at her face, and when she saw that Lu was happy, she joked: "The young master is already reading, doesn't my wife know, Zhang Cai is reading to the young master, and her voice is dumb." ”

are all in the same courtyard, how could Zhang's mother Lu not know about her son's listening to books, although Lu is happy, but there are hidden worries, and Xiao Xi Nu Wuling thinks, I feel that this omen is not very good, my son seems to be trying to adapt to the blind life, but she doesn't know that her son is now calm and wise, as long as he has listened to the book once, he can roughly recite it, with such a talent, it is not a waste not to read and not to take the imperial examination.

Lu Shi only thought that his son wanted to listen to the book to relieve his boredom, and said: "Zhang Cai and Wuling are not very literate, and they can't read, so it's better to pay for two children to read for you, about a penny of silver a day, and my Zhang family can afford to spend it." ”

Zhang Yuan was about to open his mouth to ask his mother not to bother, but he heard Zhang Cai say downstairs: "Mrs., Granny Ma from Zhishui Lane wants to visit Mrs. ”

Zhang's mother Lu said: "Please come in." "Tell Yiting to go and greet Granny Ma.

Zhang Yuan asked, "Mother, who is this mother-in-law?" ”

Zhang's mother Lu said: "It was last time I met in the Dashan Temple to burn incense, Ma Pony people are very enthusiastic, I heard that your eyes are not good, Ma Pony said that the Guanyin Bodhisattva of Putuo Mountain saves the suffering, and goes to Putuo Mountain to make incense in order to eliminate disasters and relieve sins-this time I must be asking me if I want to take you to Putuo Mountain on February 19 next year." ”

Zhang Yuan hurriedly said: "Mother, my son's eyes are fine, it will be good to raise it for a while, Putuo Mountain is overseas, the wind and waves are unpredictable, don't go to the mother, the Bodhisattva temples are there, sincerity is spiritual, if the family has spare money, it is best to help the poor and do some good deeds." ”

Lu Shi looked at his son twice, thinking that Yuan'er had tasted the pain of eye disease and was really different from before, and nodded: "Then in a few years, when you grow up, you will go to Putuo to make incense and make a vow-"

The mother and son were talking, Granny Ma came upstairs, she looked like she was in her sixties, she didn't need Yiting's support at all, her hands and feet were very neat, and she smiled before she spoke: "Grandma Zhang, the old woman is here to disturb, this is the young master of the house, he is really handsome, the heavenly court is full, and his eyebrows are clear - these eyes are better, Bodhisattva bless, the young master's eye disease will definitely be cured......"

This mother-in-law Ma spoke very coolly, like a scissors empty scissors, and greeted Zhang's mother Lu for a while, and said that there was something important to discuss, and Zhang's mother Lu led her into the room to talk secretly.

Zhang Yuan sat on the bamboo chair in the corridor, gently shaking the folding fan, he now has a keen hearing, his mother and the Ma mother-in-law whispered in the room He heard it clearly, but he didn't expect that this Ma mother-in-law did not invite his mother Lu Shi to Putuo Mountain to incense, but came to be a matchmaker for him!
