Heavy snow in the mountains and rivers, snow cage pickaxe Beijing.

The ancient city of Hojing, the ancient capital of the Eighteen Dynasties, the city of the world, is more noble than it, and the romance is naturally better than it.

In the pickaxe capital, there are 49 artificial canals in the city, which divides the boxy pickaxe capital city into more than 2,000 square markets of different sizes and the same boxy.

Hokyo Palace, the residence of today's son, is surrounded by four canals in the north of the city.

The closest to the palace city is the four major squares of Fengtuo, Yushun, Cathay and Min'an, and in these four squares, there are all the courtyards of Zhumen, and the people who live in them are either relatives of the emperor or the founding fathers.

Min'an Fang, the northwesternmost corner, the nearest area from the palace city, a big mansion is surrounded by green pines and cypresses, Rao is the cold winter wax moon everywhere snow white, the whole area of thousands of acres of the house is still verdant, Zhumen, green tiles, white walls, green trees, the whole body exudes a smell of ancient dignity.

This is the Lai Guo Mansion, the home of the founding martial arts of the Great Yin Wu Dynasty.

In recent years, most of the children and grandchildren of the Laiguo Gongfu clan have not been successful, and they have gone downhill slightly. However, the family foundation laid by the ancestors who gave up their lives was placed there, even if it was slightly broken, the grandeur of the top wealthy family did not fall at all.

In the northeast corner of the Lai Guo Mansion, next to the ancestral ancestral hall, a boxy territory of the boss is circled.

There are several large tile houses built here, all of which are paved with terrazzo green bricks, snow-white fine paper paste walls, and the ceiling is made of fragrant thin wooden strips, and the natural stripes of the wooden strips are used to spell out a huge image of a carp jumping over the dragon gate.

The four walls of the big tile house have clear large crystal windows, and the sky light shines through the large crystals, and the room is not dim at all.

Under the huge room, there was a fire dragon, and in winter, the room was still steaming and warm.

Here, it is the ethnology of the Lai Guo Mansion.

The Laiguo Mansion, every year in the clan science sprinkled a lot of money, hired some quite famous gentlemen, but all the direct side branches of the Laiguo Mansion, and even relatives and friends, all the children after reaching the age of five, can come to the clan to study.

In a large tile room, the bookcases are neatly placed, and the bookcases are piled up with various colors, and the four treasures of the study are placed.

Behind the bookcase, on the stools, sat a group of young clansmen from the age of fourteen to eighteen years old. The classroom is spacious and the space is huge, and the young clansmen of the right age of Lai Guogong, with a total of nearly two hundred, are all sitting in this classroom.

Lu Yan sat in the last corner of the room with long hair tied in a big ponytail, wearing a green cloth cardigan and a large cotton gown, with his hands in his loose sleeves, and looked at a few sparrows jumping around on the eaves of the classroom opposite through the crystal window.

It's already the month of La, approaching the small year, and the one-year course of clan studies is at the end, and after today, it will be a month-long winter vacation.

Two days ago, the Ethnology organized the year-end evaluation, and today is the day of the results.

In the front rows of the classroom, those boys who were born next to the Laiguo Mansion and had a little bit of motivation were nervously looking at the clan scholars behind the podium in front of them.

In the middle of the classroom, more than a dozen direct sons dressed in silk and satin, with a little girl waiting by their side, were slumped on their seats like a stall of pork, racking their brains to figure out where to go later, which one to find, and what interesting pastimes to do.

In the last rows of the classroom, that is, the rows next to Lu Yan, some children who were also from the same background, but had some financial and powerful resources in their families, together with a group of relatives and friends who came to study in the clan, made grimaces one by one, and communicated with codes that only they knew.

Occasionally, a few of their whispered laughter can be heard.

For example, 'Little Pink's breasts', 'Little willow green's pink buttocks', 'A certain grandmother has a good waist', 'Which big teapot raises a big turtle' and so on.

Sitting on the podium, the clan scholar is a member of the Lai Guo Mansion, Lu Jun, who is nearly forty years old.

Ten years ago, Lu Jun was promoted to filial piety by the Laiguo Mansion, got an official status, and lived a very grand life. But the good times didn't last long, and there was a huge shortage of money and food in office, but he didn't know where the money and grain in the public treasury went, and he didn't have the strength to fill the hole.

Thanks to the relationship between the Lai Guo Mansion, Lu Jun was not convicted, but his official position was lost.

The Lai Guo Mansion exempted Lu Jun from his crimes, but it would not fill the hole for him.

And today, it is a strange person who attaches great importance to money and is very good at operating to collect money.

Lu Jun is carrying a huge amount of money and food, and unless he fills the hole, there is no hope of resurrection for life.

Fortunately, Lu Jun had some friendship with several direct masters of the main house in the Laiguo Mansion, and he also had a bit of brilliance in his articles, so he was aggrieved and entered the clan study, and took on the important task of educating children and grandchildren and cultivating talents for the Laiguo Mansion.

Lu Jun, who was born quite handsome and delicate, and Lu Jun, who had slightly gray sideburns on both sides, didn't bother to care about the messy boys below.

The direct sons of the Guogong Mansion, he didn't dare to care.

He is too lazy to care about those collateral descendants and outsiders who are not successful.

The rows in front of him are still a little self-motivated, and he doesn't need to care.

Lazily exhaled, picked up the small purple sand teapot and took a sip of old white tea, Lu Jun slowly took out a book bag made of buffalo leather from under the podium, and took out a thick stack of exam papers.

"In this year's annual examination, the results are generally similar to those of previous years."

"Wait, you must remember that the wealth of your ancestors is not easy to come by, you need to study diligently, and you must not fall into the prestige of the Jingyang Lu Clan's Laiguo Mansion."

"Where, Luzon, go up."

"Where, Lu Qian, Shangzhong."

"Where, Lu Shen, up and down."

Lu Jun slowly read out the annual examination results of the children of the clan studies, and those boys, whether they were direct, sideline, or outsiders, stepped forward one by one, took the exam papers in Lu Jun's hand, or smiled happily, or smiled hippie, or had a sad face, or returned to their seats indifferently.

Lu Jun read the names one by one, and in the end, he shook the last scroll in his hand and changed his face: "Lu Yan, go down." Compared to the previous two years, you have not made the slightest progress. Look at your last most important sermon, you are answering the wrong question, and you are talking nonsense. ”

Lu Jun knocked on the podium hard, and pointed at the expressionless Lu Yan with a fierce voice and scolded: "You were like this the year before last, the same was the case last year, and the same is true this year." If you go down like this, are you worthy of the monthly subsidy of silver taels and rice grains in the clan? ”

Lu Jun stared at Lu Yan, who slowly stood up, and said sharply: "In this world, the disciples of literature and education are the most noble, and reading and learning is the real bright future." This academic work, everything else is the foundation, and only Taoism is the road to Qingyun. ”

"No matter if you are born with oily hair and powder, a good skin, you can't make good Taoism. Frightened! ”

Lu Jun threw the roll in his hand lightly forward, letting it fall to the ground.

He pointed at Lu Yan, and reprimanded loudly in an increasingly fierce tone: "Year after year, year after year, year after year, you don't grow every year, it can be seen that you are a waste seed, and you will only be a pickled waste that will disgrace the Lu family in Jingyang." ”

Lu Jun's scolding became more and more intense, and his saliva spewed far away.

Lu Yan coughed lightly and stepped forward slowly.

There was a sudden silence in the classroom.

Whether it was the son of the princess, or those distant relatives, everyone raised their heads and looked at Lu Yan, who was nearly nine feet tall and much more energetic than ordinary people.

Lu Yan picked up the roll on the ground, rolled it into a cylinder, as if holding a stick, and gently tapped his thigh.

With a smile, he kept nodding to Lu Jun: "Mr. blames." ”

Lu Jun was unmoved by Lu Yan's smile, and his reprimand became more and more snarky, mean, and even a little vicious.

"In my opinion, you don't even need to study."

"If you are reluctant to give up the money and food distributed every month in the clan school, wouldn't it be better for you to make it clear to the eldest master and go out to do some work to make a living?"

"If you stay in the clan study, not only will you be ashamed, but even the Lu clan will be implicated by you and ridiculed!"

"The huge pickaxe, so many big families, which family learns, with you for four consecutive years, are all fools under the next evaluation?"

"Because of you, I went out to drink with my peers, and I was disgraced."

"Fortunately, your grandfather died early, and your father may have died, otherwise seeing you like this, wouldn't you be angry with you?"

Lu Yan's eyes were as quiet as ice, with a smile on his face, he quietly saluted Lu Junji, turned around and walked back to his seat.

Seeing Lu Yan's appearance, Lu Jun's reprimand was even more gushing like a river, and he almost scolded.

In the genealogy, those sons and brothers of the Lu family, as well as those stubborn side branches and relatives, pointed at Lu Yan one by one and 'hee-hee-ha', cooperating with Lu Jun to make fun of him.

That night, all the students of the clan school of Laiguo Gongfu scraped together a sum of money and held a year-end thank-you banquet in the east of Min'an Fang, in Anle Fang, which is separated by a canal in the city, and in the largest winery, the 'Japanese Wind and Drizzle Building', and invited all the gentlemen of the clan study, as well as Lu Jun, Xuezheng and several clan middle school supervisors, to have a meal.

The banquet was not over, just like the previous two years, Lu Yan was too strong to drink and quietly left the table.

After the banquet, Lu Jun and a group of gentlemen called friends, and went to Mingyue Pavilion near the Anle Building in the drizzle to play a trick.

In the middle of the night, Lu Jun, who was very drunk, left the table, refused the support of the show girl next to him, staggered, and went outside to change clothes alone.

Suddenly, a miserable howl rose to the sky, and Lu Jun's cry resounded throughout the Mingyue Pavilion.

"My legs, my legs, legs, legs...... How can this land be so slippery? ”

Faintly, someone exclaimed: "This, this is the third time!" Brother Lu, how unlucky? ”
