Chapter 8: Where do the midsummer flowers fall?

The rainy season in Quanzhou has just passed, and people pick up the fan blades and shake them. Decent people also have ice cellars, where ice cubes are put into lotus seed soup, and the men drink it all, and the girls take small sips of the soup. In the palace of the Marquis of Huaining, rows of banyan trees rustle, I don't know whether they know that they are called, or they are blown by the wind, and the green shade is paved into a path, walking in it, a coolness actually comes from the heart. Across the path, the sun is shining in your face, and the pavilion not far away has become a shade resort. The surface of the lake was sparkling, and the people in the pavilion were laughing.

"Yu Rui, Yu Cheng, come here. Drink a bowl of freshly made lotus seed soup to get rid of the heat." Huang beckoned to them. "One bowl per person, don't get heat stroke on such a hot day."

"Thank you, auntie". Yu Rui Yu Cheng took it with both hands, and then bowed forward.

Grunt, three times five divided by two, the two brothers drank the lotus seed soup, Yu Cheng wiped his mouth with his hand, and was reminiscing about the sweetness and freshness. was really thirsty, and suddenly made Huang and Xu laugh from ear to ear, and even Xiao Lei couldn't help but snicker on the side. "The son of the Yu family is so handsome". Peng Yin looked at it stupidly. Xiao Lei asked in surprise: "Is it Yu Rui who is more handsome or Yu Cheng who is more handsome."

Peng Yin covered her little face and said shyly: "It's all good-looking, if you have to compare it with each other, I choose Yu Rui."

Xiao Lei nodded: "Well, my sister's vision is really good." Peng Yin hurriedly covered Xiao Lei's mouth. "You damn girl, you talk some nonsense, and you almost fell into your trap."

Huang stood up from the stone chair and beckoned everyone: "Okay, stop jumping, hurry up and go to the school, it's not too early."

"Uh-huh, mother, we'll go now." Peng Yin grabbed Xiao Lei and quickly disappeared around the pavilion. "Sister, don't pull me, go slowly, wait for them." Xiao Lei put aside Peng Yin's hand. "I heard that the little grandfather in the Yongyi Marquis's mansion is also coming to study today, my sister knows about it."

Peng Yin said to Xiao Lei disdainfully: "That guy, he is a hooligan, I don't know how many girls have been harmed, what's the matter, where has my sister seen this prodigal son."

"I haven't seen it before, but I've heard of the fame of the little grandfather of Yongyihou." Xiao Lei glanced at Yu Cheng and Yu Rui, who followed behind. "I heard people often talk about how talented he is."

"Pull it down, don't listen to those people's nonsense, I have seen him go in and out of those amorous places with my own eyes." Speaking of excitement, Peng Yin inevitably raised her voice.

"Hahaha, the girl in Huaining's mansion is really cute." Not far away, a young man held a folding fan, swaying it gently, and lifted it up as he spoke, and the folding fan was withdrawn. Approaching to take a look, the young man had a round of forehead wiping on his head, a piece of white jade pinned to his waist, swaying with his steps, and his clothes were normal, with a black and white style, a look of a son's style. "Li Zhongming is grateful to the girls, and Li has been in good health recently."

Peng Yin said to him unceremoniously: "Little Hou Ye is too careful, we are just talking about some facts, only you know how your body is."

Li Zhongming looked at Peng Yin and said: "What a sharp-toothed girl, don't be so rusty, according to the relationship between our two families, I should be your brother."

"It's really shameless, I want to take advantage of it as soon as I come up." Peng Yin yelled at Li Zhongming.

Li Zhongming ignored her and saw Yu Rui and Yu Cheng standing beside him: "Ah, these two must be the prefect's yain."

Yu Rui and Yu Cheng made a gesture: "Son, Xiao was born in Rui, Xiao was born in Cheng." Li then asked, "I heard that you have a sister why you didn't see it today."

"Sister She, I'm just over a year old this year." Yu Rui replied.

"Ah, I'm confused". Li Zhongming took off the wipe from his forehead and put it in his sleeve.

Peng Yin said to everyone: "Don't be leisurely, Mr. Late will be angry again."

The corners of Li's mouth tilted up, and he burst out laughing: "I'm afraid that Mr. was angry yesterday, and today is even more angry."

"Heartless guy, yesterday Lei girl was taken hostage by gangsters and almost lost her life, you guy still calls himself someone's brother, and he can laugh out loud." Peng Yin's puffed tone was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and he could feel it by taking a sharp breath.

Xiaolei hurriedly interjected: "My sister is an anxious child, brother is not strange."

Li Zhongming made a round: "I was also a heartless person, don't worry, don't worry." After speaking, everyone quickened their steps and walked to the school.

Leaning in from outside the door of the school, the old gentleman snuggled up to the apricot hall, and the position of a few empty desks was the probes outside the door. The old gentleman glanced out and beckoned to them. Li walked ahead, and Yu Rui and his party followed behind.

The old gentleman sighed and said to a few little guys with their heads down, "Peng Lei and Yu Cheng will stop, and the others will return to their respective positions." The Yongyi Marquis family should sit behind Peng Yin." "Peng Lei, do you know your mistakes?"

Xiao Lei stretched out her arm and waved her palm upward: "The student knows that he is wrong, the student will never make Mr. angry again."

The old gentleman put his finger against Xiao Lei's forehead, and Xiao Lei's head leaned back: "The old man has been teaching for decades, and I haven't met such a naughty little ghost as you." It's easy to make the old man angry, but you can't joke with your own life, in order to make you remember it for a long time, the old man will punish you for copying a thousand words fifty times."

Xiao Lei's brows slowly relaxed, and her tense face regained its previous elasticity: "Thank you, Mr. for your teachings, Lei'er must finish copying it in a proper manner."

"The student will hand it over to Mr. tomorrow". Yu Cheng said this directly, so angry that Xiao Lei pursed her mouth, and her face that had just recovered was tense again.

The gentleman patted the red lacquer carved wood desk: "Okay, hand it over to the old man when you come to the school tomorrow, and you two can go back to your seats to listen to the class."

Xiao Lei sat behind Yu Cheng and was angry, took a pen to draw left and right, and finally firmly pinched it in the palm of her hand, drawing a circle back and forth. She can't wait to count down this nerd now. It's a pity that I didn't dare to make Mr. angry again, so I had to hold back my stomach and lose my temper in the back.

The old gentleman picked up a book on the apricot hall and opened it: "Today we talk about etiquette, and the so-called etiquette is ............ All of you here who have your own opinions stand up and speak with you."

The school was silent instantly, and Li Zhongming stood up alone when he saw that everyone didn't plan to speak: "Students think that etiquette is to divide people, which is the so-called etiquette of monarchs and ministers, the etiquette of father and son, and the etiquette of husband and wife. The first is the king, and then the prince, the magnates............ The courtiers serve the king, the wife follows the husband, and the filial piety for the son of the man is constituted. The student is foolish, and I hope that Mr. will correct him."

The old gentleman looked at him with a satisfied face: "The little grandfather of the Yongyi Marquis Mansion is really amazing, he has such insight at a young age, his children can be taught, and his children can be taught."

Xiao Lei rubbed Yu Cheng behind her back: "You also stand up and answer Mr.'s question, don't let people steal the limelight."

Yu Cheng raised his hand: "Sir, students also have foolish opinions."

"You say". The old gentleman looked at Yu Cheng and motioned for him to say it directly.

"The students thought that the rites of the past were all about restraining those who were of low status. The courtesy of kings and ministers, husbands and wives, fathers and sons should be determined by the cultivation of people, not by their status. Is it still a courtesy to a person of high status, and that is disrespectful to a person of low status?"

The old gentleman looked at Yu Cheng in astonishment: "Who taught you to say these things, if you are lifted in the future, don't say these words when you get to the top of the main hall." And don't preach the words of Yu Cheng today, do you remember"?

"The student lost his word". Yu Cheng felt powerless at this scorching atmosphere.

The old gentleman waved his arm: "No, no, no, it's not bad that Yu Cheng can have this knowledge, he is a good seedling." It's just that you're young and vigorous, and you'll understand when you're older." Okay, let's recite yesterday's poem. The old gentleman continued.

Under the sound of reading aloud, the sun shines through the window, and when you reach out and touch it, its temperature is just the same as the wind of the sunset, neither in the heat nor in the wind, everything is so just right. Just what? It just so happened that the school was over.

The group walked under the banyan tree, hurrying back to complete today's homework, while Xiaolei and Yu Cheng walked behind everyone: "Yu Cheng, you are really good today, I am not angry."

Yu Cheng asked her at a loss; "Are you angry today? Who made Xiaolei angry"?

I saw Xiao Lei stretch out her palm and squeeze it back and forth on Yu Cheng's shoulder: "Hmph, I don't know." Think for yourself, and ignore me until you figure it out." After speaking, Xiaolei patted Yu Cheng's head again: "You are really a nerd." After completing this series of actions, Xiao Lei ran away angrily again.

Knowing that it is still screaming, the midsummer flowers are slowly showing their buds, and our story continues to happen.
