When Du Jun greeted that batch of furniture with hope, in the lobby of Li Mansion in the north of the city, the old housekeeper had just retreated.

Li Hongbin pinched a piece of osmanthus lotus lotus cake on the table and put it in his mouth, soft and glutinous and fragrant, just right for his age, he couldn't help but nodded, this time the cook found by his son has good skills, which is very suitable for his taste.

The lobby is very quiet, and everyone knows the habits of this old lady, who have eaten and want to squint slightly on the Taishi chair to rest for a while, at this time, the sound of laughter coming out of the lobby is particularly abrupt.

Li Hongbin lowered his heavy eyelids and said slowly: "Go, look, who's outside." ”

"Yes", a middle-aged manservant responded.

In the blink of an eye, the middle-aged manservant returned and said to Li Hongbin: "Old lady, it was the third young master from the eldest young master's mansion who came to ask for peace." ”

Oh, at this hour, raising his eyes to look at the scorching sun outside the house, Li Hongbin frowned, "Call him to come in and see me." ”

"Yes, old lady, the third young master is already waiting at the door, I'll go and invite you."

After a while, a handsome young man wearing a crimson robe, a lilac belt around his waist, a piece of jade jade on it, and five-colored auspicious cloud boots walked in.

Bowing down, "Unfilial grandson Li Yuhao, please say hello to my grandfather." ”

The voice is clear, unhurried, and exudes the vigor of a young man.

This son is Li Yuhao, the youngest son of Li Zhongxi, the servant of the Zhengsanpin household, that is, Li Hongbin's grandson.

I just arrived in Anxian County last night, and after the settlement was completed, it was too late, so I didn't have time to ask Li Hongbin for peace.

Li Hongbin looked at the little boy with cold eyes, he had just turned twelve years old this year, his spine stood straight under the hall after giving a ceremony, his appearance was three points similar to his eldest son, and more places were like his eldest daughter-in-law, his skin was fair, a pair of beautiful Danfeng eyes were not shocked, his nose was very small, and his thin lips were slightly upturned, which made people feel like they wanted to be close at a glance, maybe this is because of the bloodline.

Li Yuhao entered the lobby and was also observing his grandfather, an old man he hadn't seen for ten years, the Dinghai Divine Needle in the family.

The beard and hair are all white, the wrinkles on the face are distributed like ravines, the posture is upright, sitting on the only Taishi chair in the lobby, wearing a dark green robe with dark lines and green bamboo, and the gray hair is neatly combed.

The decoration in the lobby is very simple, there is only one eight immortal table and a Taishi chair on the main seat opposite, the eight immortal table is a teapot plus a plate of obviously used dim sum, the table is in the background is a pair of long ink and wash Danqing, a hundred crane pictures, the meaning is good, the skill is better, because the adjacent is far away, you can't see the painter's payment, but can be placed in the lobby by the grandfather, it will definitely not be a nobody, a crane or lead the neck to sing, or forage in the water, catch fish and shrimp, extremely smart.

On both sides of the lobby are rows of high-backed chairs made of ebony wood, and on the side near the door, there are several pots of verdant potted plants on the ground, and several subordinates stand with their hands down, their bodies motionless, ready to be called.

Just when Li Yuhao was still secretly observing, Li Hongbin suddenly asked: "If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach thousands of miles, you can't accumulate small streams, you can't become rivers and seas, Yu Hao, do you know the truth?" ”

"Back to my grandfather, this sentence comes from Xunzi's persuasion of learning, what it is about is that if you don't accumulate half a step by step, you can't go thousands of miles away, and if you don't gather the trickles, you can't form rivers and seas, and your father often reminds you that your grandchildren don't dare to forget", Li Yuhao explained respectfully.

Li Hongbin was born in Jinshi, and his knowledge is naturally not bad, so he was very satisfied with his grandson's explanation, and nodded slightly.

At the age of his grandson, when he encounters questions from his elders, he can be neither humble nor arrogant, calm and calm, and he has quite a Confucian style; The analysis of the article is concise and concise, and it can be seen that he has also worked hard in his homework.

Based on these two points, Li Hongbin felt the need to hammer two sentences to prevent him from being complacent.

"Full of losses, humble benefits, there are thousands of smart people in the world, and finally stand out, and there are a few people in the temple."

"Industry is good at diligence, absurdity is frolic, action is in thinking, destruction is in follow, hope you are encouraged, remember!"

"Grandfather has good intentions, Yu Hao remembers, don't dare to forget", the young man bowed to the end again when he heard this.

Li Hongbin was very satisfied with the assessment of the youngest grandson in the family, and his tone eased a lot.

"Who are you playing with?"

Li Yuhao's little face was hot, he felt remorseful in his heart, and he had the heart to prevaricate, but when he thought that this was his grandfather's mansion, there were many people, how could he really be covered up, so he could only choose to tell the truth, and responded awkwardly: "Cousin Yu Li of the second uncle's family!" ”

After saying this, his head was buried deep in his chest, and he was afraid to see his grandfather's disappointed eyes.

Yu Li!

Hearing this name, Li Hongbin also felt a deep headache.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and it is precisely this Li Yuli who is the most difficult scripture to read in the Li Mansion.

Li Hongbin has two sons and a daughter under his knees, the eldest son Li Zhongxi is Li Yuhao's father, the official worship of the household department, although like his father, all have the title of the waiter, but the grade is a piece higher, and has been in the office for more than 20 years, and the official assessment over the years is excellent, and he has been promoted step by step from the small official of the sesame seed to the current position.

He is only 50 years old this year, he is low-key and forbearing, he is rigorous in his work, and he has always had a good reputation in the DPRK and China.

The second son Li Zhongkun has average qualifications, not as dazzling as his eldest brother, after barely winning the lifting at the age of thirty, he moved back to his ancestral hometown of Anxian County from the national capital Guyun and became a teacher.

As for the grandson's generation, Li Zhongxi has three sons-in-law, in addition to the talented Li Yuhao who has not yet tried his skills because he is young, his eldest son Li Yuyang and his second son Li Yupeng are all famous, among which Li Yuyang, like his father, was also admitted to the Jinshi, and Li Yupeng was slightly worse than just lifting people.

Li Zhongkun, there are only two sons-in-law, and the eldest son Li Yucheng also has a reputation for making meritorious contributions, and is now still preparing for the academy exam, preparing for this year's government examination, which is his second government examination, according to the second son, this year is very promising to be admitted to the Jinshi.

A mansion, three generations of grandparents, there are three jinshi, three lifters, this ratio, not to mention in Anxian County, even in the entire Great Xia Dynasty is also a beautiful scenery.

From another point of view, the fact that the Li Mansion can call for wind and rain in Anxian County is not unrelated to the fact that the Li Mansion has a large number of talents.

Rigorous in his studies and a long family background, no one admires Li Hongbin, but as he said, he is full of losses and humble benefits, and Li Yuli, the youngest son of the second son Li Zhongkun, has become an alternative existence of this scholarly family in the past dynasties.

is also a five-year-old enlightenment, the children next to him half a year at most a year, the articles learned by the enlightenment have long been familiar with the heart, and it took Li Yuli three years to stumble through the test, which made Li Hongbin extremely disappointed.

Earnestly taught, beaten, scolded and punished, and the famous teacher dialed, Li Hongbin and the second son took turns to fight, and now they are thirteen years old, eight years have passed, and they can't see that they have grown at all, and they are really rotten wood that cannot be carved.

If you say that this son is stupid, it doesn't make sense, Li Yuli is active by nature, he likes to dance knives and guns since he was a child, and he is very obsessed with martial arts.

Moreover, this son has an excellent temperament, pure and filial piety, knows the family's expectations of him, and never complains about the punishment of his grandfather and father, and is still respectful.

In addition, when he was still young in the early years, in order to show his grandmother on the sick bed, he took risks three times and almost lost his life, and he was the most cherished grandson of his deceased wife before his death.

Li Hongbin naturally wouldn't tell about another grandson in front of Li Yuhao, and Li Yuli is not really useless.

Brothers, friends and brothers will bring the clansmen together and become stronger and unbreakable.

said with a straight face: "You just came to Anxian County, and it is natural for Yu Li to do his best to play as a landlord, but he can't delay his studies." ”

"Yes, grandfather taught, grandson recorded, the Analects have words, learning without thinking is reckless, thinking without learning is dead, grandson does not want to be the kind of nerd who can only read in the academy, this time to Ning, in addition to worshipping ancestors, there is also a father to let his grandson travel more, experience the suffering of the people, increase knowledge."

Li Yuhao took a deep breath, his heart palpitated, his father's parting words, emphasizing that his grandfather was old, don't rush, he had been worried just now, but he didn't expect his grandfather to be very kind and not angry.

Hearing Li Yuhao mention the eldest son who made him extremely proud, Li Hongbin's eyes softened, and for three years, the father and son had not met.

Now that the grandson is standing in front of him, he naturally wants to ask more about the situation of the eldest son, and asks gently: "In the past few years, how is your father's health?" ”

Then he added, "Don't prevaricate with false words, I want to hear the truth." ”

Belch!?

Grandfather is so shrewd!

The excuse that was originally blurted out was swallowed into his stomach in an instant, Li Yuhao smiled shyly, thinking to himself, Dad, I'm sorry, grandfather is really not easy to fool, I can only pick something that can be said.

"Grandfather, my father is still in good health, but at the turn of summer and autumn, he will occasionally cough and shiver, and in the past two years, I have found a doctor, and I have been much better."

Li Hongbin bowed slightly, "That's good, cough disease is Zhongxi's old disease for many years, if you want to eradicate it, it is not a day's work, I still have some tonic medicine in my house, when you return, remember to look for it." ”

"Yu Haodai's father thanks his grandfather for his compassion", the little boy once again respectfully thanked him.

Li Hongbin's eyes rarely showed a happy brilliance, looking at this young man, as if he saw his eldest son through him.

With a wave of his hand, he said freely: "Okay, go down to Yu Li to play, Anxian County is not as prosperous as the national capital Guyun, but the folk customs are simple and the scenery is different, let my grandfather see what kind of perception you will have if you learn without thinking, and if you don't learn, you will die!" ”

Li Yuhao was extremely embarrassed, bowed down to his grandfather, "Then forgive your grandson to retire first, and come back tomorrow to say goodbye." ”
