Chapter Twenty-Three: Moving to a New Home

In 263 B.C., the capital of Wei was Liang, Anguo Lane.

A group of children dressed in clean clothes early in the morning, and the girls all wore pigtails and stood guard in front of the door of the third-to-last family at the end of the alley. The family has moved in one after another in the past few days, and the maids and servants all arrived yesterday, and this morning is the date of the housewarming banquet that his family told the neighbors in the alley. The children have been babbling and babbling since the carriage began to move things into the house a few days ago, and the adults were not very happy that the children would disturb the people to move to a new house, and there were a number of rudeness, but when yesterday everyone received a polite and generous housewarming invitation from a very kind, dressed like a rich man, everyone also felt that the new neighbor was not pedantic, and the children were happy to go early in the morning to join in the fun.

As soon as the time arrived, the vermilion lacquer door was opened by two servants with a "squeak", and several other servants wore red flowers on their chests, and as soon as they went out, they held all kinds of musical instruments to celebrate and play, and the children gathered together to clap their hands and dance, and they were very happy. Immediately afterwards, the two maids came out of the gate with a square plate covered with red paper, and the happy money on the plate was piled up like a hill, and the children were even more happy to see it, and countless snacks and gadgets were already emerging in their minds.

Yesterday, the fat man who sent the invitation card to each family walked out with a tall and thin middle-aged man, and the adults on the periphery secretly speculated that these two people must be the owners of this house.

"Come on, children, uncle will be your neighbor in the future, don't be naughty and play pranks with us. The fat man was full of smiles, and the flesh on his face wrinkled as if a big word of joy had been carved. After saying that, the fat man grabbed a large handful of happy money, and scattered it in front of the door at once, and the thin man next to him also smiled and grabbed a handful of happy money and gently scattered it to the children.

"Oh, grab the happy money!" The children happily hugged each other and happily picked it up on the ground, saying that they were robbing, but they were courteous to each other, which showed the good popularity and education here.

After a while, the children were happy to grab the money, the fat man and the thin man took a step forward, the fat man raised his hand, and said loudly to the neighbors on the periphery: "In Xia and the two brothers are fortunate to come to Wei to do business, trekking through mountains and rivers, working hard day and night, fortunately there is no bamboo basket to draw water, and I also fight for a worry-free food and clothing, I heard that I Anguo Lane is the best education, the neighborhood is harmonious, and I am particularly disturbing you to settle here, today is a good day to invite people to see, specially put down a thin banquet, and all the neighbors to celebrate!"

"He is worthy of being a successful gentleman in business, and he is polite and generous in everything he does!"

"Yes, with this family, my Anguo Lane will definitely be more famous in the future. ”

After listening to the fat man's words, coupled with the observation in the past few days, the neighbors have a good impression of this new family, and they also congratulate each other.

"Congratulations to the two gentlemen for moving to their new home!"

"The two gentlemen can come, and it is also my Anguo Lane's face that has a light. ”

"If there is anything I can help in the future, but I ask the two gentlemen to give me orders. ”

"Thank you, the time is just right, so please come to the mansion for a banquet. This time, not only did the fat man bend down and raise his hand, but the thin man also looked welcome, bending down and raising his hand as an invitation.

To settle in Anguo Lane, everyone is not an ordinary pedantic person, and after raising their hands one by one, they took their children to the banquet with a smile, and also wanted to take this opportunity to have a glimpse of the neighbor's scenery.

The entrance is a square courtyard, most of which is occupied by a lotus pond, a few goldfish swim leisurely in it, several rockeries and two bushes of green bamboo on the shore reflect each other, and everyone can't help but praise the interest of the two masters.

Leaving the courtyard and passing through a middle gate, eight tables of banquets have been set up in the inner courtyard, everyone humbly sits down with each other, and after the gongs and drums are beaten again outside the gate, the butler shouts and begins to serve the food. The maids and servants lined up and shuttled through the banquet, and after a while, a table full of good dishes was put up, and everyone got up with the two masters, and after the fat guy said a few words, everyone raised a glass to celebrate.

The fat man and the thin man toasted together at the table, the fat man shouted all the way to the neighbors to entertain, the thin man did not say much, but gave each child a red paper envelope of coins, the red envelope was written on the outside of the "ten years to choose a house, a hundred years to repair the neighbors" eight beautiful and free brush small characters, the children who did not understand the meaning were very happy anyway, happy thanks, and those who understood the meaning and the adults together to Mr. praise and admiration.

Halfway through, the banquet came to an end, after tasting the last seasonal fresh food sent by the maid, everyone said goodbye to the host, the fat man and the thin man sent the guests to the door one by one, and everyone dispersed happily.

Walking past the maids and servants who were cleaning up the courtyard and cleaning up the mess, the fat man and the thin man went to the east side of the study and sat down.

"Lao Huang, how about it, I'm okay with this face!"

"Fatty, did you see him today?" instead of answering the fat man's words, he asked instead.

These two people are like fat men and old yellow who have adjusted in advance after the previous time and space jump.

"Yesterday, I sent an invitation to find out the address of Wei Mi's house, which is next to the bluestone lane, but it was abrupt to send an invitation to their family, so I didn't send it. ”

"Then let's take some time to meet him in the next few days. Lao Huang also felt that the fat man was thinking about it very right, so he said.

"Okay, no problem, don't worry about this. ”

At noon, the hot wind blows through Daliang City, and the air waves rise slightly. The ancient city, which should have been full of history, is now full of vitality and vitality. Nearly a thousand years away from their hometown, they began the adjusted mission.

The next morning, the wind was beautiful. Lao Huang and the fat man walked from Anguo Lane to Qingshi Lane, along the way the neighbors greeted the two new neighbors enthusiastically, and when passing through the bluestone well at the end of Qingshi Lane, they met Wei Yi who was holding a bamboo slip by the well and reading in the morning.

"Whoever governs the crowd is like ruling the widow, the score is also; fighting the crowd is like fighting the widow, the form is also; the crowd of the three armies can make the one who is bound to be defeated by the enemy and not defeated, and the one who is added by the soldiers, such as throwing eggs with the shackles, is also ...... in the truth."

A little boy of about five or six years old, holding a bamboo slip on a large stone slab under a tree by the well, read softly word by word, sometimes pausing and slightly inappropriate, showing that he had not been reading this book for a long time.

"This little gentleman is reading the content of the fifth chapter of Sun Tzu's Art of War?" Seeing that the child stopped and pondered there, Lao Huang slowly walked over and asked.

Hearing this gentleman point out the book he was reading, the little boy couldn't help but be surprised, and he also had a good impression of this gentleman he had never met. "This gentleman, I read exactly what he said about the Art of War, but I have only been literate for a few years, and I still can't understand these contents, and now I just follow my father's teachings and leave an impression here. ”

"That's very good, I'm also a person who knows a little about the art of war, if you have any questions in the future, we can discuss it together. ”

"Then thank you, sir! Is Mr. Huang a new move from Anguo Lane?" recalled what his playmate in the alley next door said yesterday, and the boy couldn't help but ask happily. The playmates all said that the adults said that this Mr. Huang was very knowledgeable, and if he was willing to guide himself to solve his doubts, it would be a great thing.

"Mr. doesn't dare to be, it's okay to call me Uncle Huang. I don't know your name yet?" Although it was almost certain that this was the Wei Yi that he and the fat man were looking for, Lao Huang still asked.

"Mr. Huang, my surname is Wei, and my single name is a single name. My husband can call me Xiao Yu like my mother and father. He replied politely.

"Well, I'll call you Xiao Yu from now on. If you have any doubts in the future, you can come to Anguo Lane to find me, and I will often go out for a walk with this fat uncle, and you can discuss with me if you have any questions. ”

"Then Xiao Yu thanked Mr. Huang!" Xiao Yu was very happy to hear this, put down the bamboo slip in his hand, raised his hand, and bent down to salute.

"Hey, get up, what's polite to you Mr. Huang, I want to eat, drink and have fun when I'm tired of studying in the future, just come to your fat uncle, I'll take you all over the beam, hahaha......" The fat man pulled up Xiao Yu on the side and laughed.

The gentleman laughed. After listening to the fat man's words, Xiao Yu's face was slightly red, and he said in return.

"Then Xiaoyu, you read first, let's go back first, and come to Anguo Lane at any time if you have any questions. Lao Huang said.

"Thank you, Mr. Huang, meet you two gentlemen!"

"Goodbye. ”

"Lao Huang, this time I can be regarded as seeing someone. I must give him a beautiful task this time, the punishment last time was not easy, and it will definitely affect my promotion after I go back. Speaking of which, the fat man's heart ached, if he hadn't remedied it in time with Lao Huang, then the last time would have been back to before liberation overnight.

"Don't be so reckless this time, you must be cautious in your words and deeds at every step, and you can't make the slightest mistake, this is a very important event, don't be hasty!" Lao Huang instructed.

"With Lao Huang's careful planning this time, even if the task cycle adds up to nearly twenty years, I am absolutely confident that this time it will be done perfectly. This time, it's done, I'm really happy with Lao Huang, you're convinced. ”

"Come on, your chubby body is convincing, I can't stand it, hahaha......"

"Hahaha......"

It is rare to see Lao Huang laughing, and the fat man is also in a very good mood, and the hearty laughter of the two echoes in the alley for a long time.
