Yu Xiuhe has a round face and big eyes, light eyebrows, white and tender skin, and always has a smile on her face. Old Man Yu has a dark complexion, a high stop, and half-open eyes, such a person is the most shrewd. Grandmother Gao's cheeks are slightly wider, the nose is fleshy, and the chin is short, such a person has no opinions, and will only live in confusion. The personality characteristics of these people are very obvious, compared to the physiognomy of nine out of ten, and the most interesting of them is the face of Uncle Yu Daquan.

Yu Daquan wore a cyan gown, which is the style that scholars love to wear, the fabric is the same as the clothes on Yu Gui's body, it is Jinsha cotton, a horse has to be sold for 500 yuan, this cyan color is excellent, the fabric is also light, and although Yu Daquan has reached the age of standing, but the skin is good, it belongs to the handsome appearance, people who don't know will think that this is an elegant reader, not Yu Dayou such a vulgar farmer.

At this time, Yu Daquan was teaching Yu Guixue, "Do you know the origin of the noble character in your name?" ”

Yu Daquan has been studying for more than 20 years, Yu Gui has been exposed to it since he was a child, and there is some ink in his stomach, "Expensive, which means wealth, live a better life than most people." ”

Yu Daquan nodded, stroked the "beautiful hair" that had just been left a little, and shook his head and said: "You are right, but it is not comprehensive, noble, respectful, is a symbol of a person's status, Zhou Li said, 'Jue, to control its nobleness', which means that the authority to grant the title is to make the minister noble." The Book of Rites also says, "The so-called nobles are close to the king", which means "respect the nobles, because they are close to the monarch". Only a man can be called a master, so how can we ordinary people become a master? Then you can only rely on studying to participate in the imperial examination, and when your father is admitted to the imperial examination in the future, it will be an official, and then our family will be able to eat Yulu, which is the emperor's grain. ”

Looking at Yu Daquan's smug expression, Yu Xia secretly smiled, because there was a slight dent in the middle of Yu Daquan's Yin Hall, from the physiognomy, this position corresponds to the Guanlu Palace, and a dent means that the Guanlu's luck is damaged, so Yu Daquan said that he will be able to be admitted to the official body in the future, which is unlikely. At the same time, there is a mole on the wing of his nose, which is the appearance of leaking money, but Yu Daquan's nose bridge is quite good at protecting wealth, even if he leaks money, it will not be poor, but to be "rich", it will be difficult. At the same time, the most interesting thing is that Yu Daquan's treacherous door is slightly trapped, indicating that the life of the husband and wife is not harmonious, but there is also a mole with a round appearance and pure color, which is the face of the peach blossom. Yu Xia thought about the mean face of the eldest aunt Miao just now, it was strange that these two people had a good relationship as a couple, but now Yu Daquan's peach blossom is just showing signs, and there should be a while before the attack.

Yu Daquan and his son showed off their knowledge and turned the topic to Yu Xian, "Xiaoxian, don't look at you now, you should be young now, you should start reading, your uncle and I started to memorize poems at the age of three, your brother Gui has also been taught by me since he was a child, much better than ordinary children, if it weren't for the poor qualifications of this stinky boy, I would like him to sign up with me for reference, when the father and son show their talents, then it is called Guangzong Yaozu." ”

"Big brother and second brother, I came to talk to you about this this time." Yu Xiuhe smiled and answered, "The Dongyu clan in our village is now willing to accept students from Xiyu." ”

Half of the people in Guoshu Village have the surname Yu, and it is said that this surname is an ancient surname, inherited from Emperor Shun. Emperor Shun is known as the Yu family, so Emperor Shun is also known as Yu Shun, and is the ancestor of the people surnamed Yu. This statement is not only Guoshu Village, but many villages with the surname Yu consider themselves to be descendants of Emperor Shun. Of course, the inheritance has long been unexaminable, but it is undeniable that the surname Yu is a big surname. Most of the villagers of Longhe Village in the east of Guoshu Village also have the surname Yu, but the surname Yu of the two villages is not the same, so they are called Dongyu and Xiyu in order to distinguish them. In contrast, Dongyu in Longhe Village is undoubtedly more affluent. In the south of Longhe Village, there is a Jinshidi, it is said that it is built by the first Jinshi Yu Zhenyun in Jintan County, the first three Jinshi, sitting west and facing east, simple and generous, neat and elegant, the wooden window lattice carving is delicate, although it is not as good as the mansion of the magnates, but it is definitely one of the largest households in Jintan County, and the current Dongyu clan is also funded by the Jinshi Di Yu family, and a number of famous gentlemen in ten miles and eight townships were invited.

Although Dongyu's ancestors are quite glorious, they have been declining over the years, so they gradually began to slowly absorb students with foreign surnames in the same village from the genealogy, in order to collect the due expenses of maintaining the clan, but the school-age children of Xiyu have been excluded. Dongyu and Xiyu are both surnamed Yu, and they all think that they are the orthodox heirs of Yu Shun, and they have always been fighting, in the early years, when the old man Yu was still young, the relationship between Dongyu and Xiyu was close for a while, and the Dongyu clan was willing to accept the children of Xiyu to study, and the private school of the old man Yu's Xiucai father was forced to close the door, but then the two cases broke up again, so the children surnamed Yu in Guoshu Village no longer had the opportunity to study.

Yu Daquan also always complained that if he had the opportunity to go to study in the Dongyu tribe when he was a child, he would definitely not be just a child now. Now that Dongyu ethnology is open to Xiyu, it is indeed exciting enough.

In the south of Longhe Village, there is a family, white wall and black tile, the Zhu door is tall, there is an ebony plaque hanging on it, the dragon and the phoenix dance on it are written "Jinshidi" three big characters, the plaque is carved with blue Ruyi auspicious clouds around it, dignified and eye-catching, two majestic stone lions next to the door, it is particularly magnificent. Yang Cuilian took the three sisters and brothers to wander outside the door, and the porter saw the four of them probing their brains, and shouted: "What are you doing!" ”

"May I ask how the Yu clan study goes?" Yang Cuilian didn't care about the attitude of the concierge at all, and asked with a smile.

The porter shook his hand and said impatiently, "You turn around and go north again, there is a side door over there, and the Yu clan will enter from there." ”

Although Jinshidi was once a high-ranking family, there was no outstanding generation in later generations, and the generations gradually declined. The people of the Yu clan are bent on cultivating the children of the clan in the hope that they can revive the lintel, but it is too much pressure to run a clan study. In addition to accepting children from nearby villages to school, it is also a cost-saving practice to separate a west courtyard from Jinshidi to be used as a school for clan studies.

Walked along the west wall for more than 100 steps, sure enough, there is a side door, compared to the main gate of the magnificent side door is much simpler, a black lacquered wooden door, a small gatehouse next to the door, although it is also a white wall and black tile, but the color is obviously much brighter than other courtyard walls, obviously repaired. In the porter sat an old man of unknown age, who was squinting his eyes and smoking a dry cigarette leisurely, when he heard the voice slowly raise his eyelids, and asked lazily, "What's the matter?" ”

"Old man, we are from Guoshu Village, and we want to send our children to school."

The old man's eyes swept over the three children behind Yang Cuilian, his eyes fell on Yu Xia, and he closed his eyes again, "Go into the second room from the left in the east wing and find Mr. Song." ”

Seeing them enter the courtyard and disappear behind the grass and trees, the old man muttered as if talking to himself, "The pearl is dusty, but it's interesting." ”
