Of the ten chicks left this year, the mother and son collectively looked away, and there were only four hens, two of which were pheasants, and the three turned their eyes to the ducks in the peony garden in disappointment, hoping to have a few more ducks and a few more duck eggs.

The south wind blew, and the three of them tried on single clothes for the first time, and their arms and legs, which had been wrapped in cotton clothes for a long time, were finally much easier.

At this time, the three of them are lying on the bamboo bed under the locust tree, the flowers of the locust tree have been gone, the newly grown leaves have not yet covered the branches, a bunch of sunlight is sprinkled from between the leaves, the mother and son are closed, blowing the breeze, listening to the farmhouse symphony in the yard, very comfortable.

Lan Yi educates children to pay attention to integrity, so she never makes empty promises, as long as she says it, she will do it. A few days ago, they said that they wanted to buy a recliner, and the three of them went happily, but after arriving at the place where the furniture was sold, the three of them fell in love with this four-legged flat bamboo bed at the same time, and immediately decided to use it instead of a recliner.

After the bamboo bed was bought, it was placed under the locust tree, and a curtain was hung on the branch of the locust tree, and a few small pebbles were sewn on the four corners of the curtain, which hung down just enough to cover the bamboo bed to ward off mosquitoes. If the mother and son want to rest, Lan Yi will wipe the bamboo bed, take out the futon and spread it, and then the mother and son will lie side by side on the bamboo bed to chat, this feeling of taking heaven and earth as my house makes Lan Yi like it very much, but in order to prevent the two children from catching a cold, she strictly stopped the idea that the two children should sleep outside at night.

Now that the beginning of summer has passed, the vegetable garden on the west side of the courtyard grows taller or climbs the frame, the grapes at the door of the firewood house also climb the bamboo frame, and the courtyard wall on the south side of the firewood house is crawling with honeysuckle and loofah.

The honeysuckle has bloomed, and the fragrance wafts to the bamboo bed with the breeze, Lan Yi smells the fragrance of the flowers, listens to the cicadas singing on the tree, and feels very comfortable.

Lan Yi is still busy every day, the peony flowers are rich and prosperous, but the bone fruits produced after the flowers wither look completely different from the eye-catching atmosphere of the flowers. There are five clusters of bone fruits, and each corner bears about ten grains, and the bushes of fluffy and green fruit horns look like a nest of birds, and they are also very cute.

The ducks raised on the hillside grow quickly, Lan Yi has to mix them with grain bran every day to add food, and the grass on the hillside is also gnawed clean by them, saving a lot of things, fortunately, these ducks do not gnaw the leaves of peony flowers, which can be said to save a lot of weeding effort. As for the male and female of the duck, Lan Yi can't tell it, and she can only judge it by waiting for the duck to lay eggs.

Before the wheat blooms and shrubs, Lan Yi followed the villagers to fertilize and water the wheat, looking forward to the beauty of the heavens, a few more sunny days so that the wheat can be irrigated more, if it is a qiē shun lì, it will be a bumper harvest after half a month.

At this time, the partridge bird cried out one after another, although the partridge bird looks ordinary, but its habits and calls are quite strange, it is said that the partridge "does not leave the nest and does not leave the group", that is, never leaves home; Its chirping sound is similar to the human saying "Brother who can't do it", and it has always been homesick by wanderers. In addition, the famous bird Du Yu, who cried blood and called "It's better to go back", that is, the cuckoo, also came to join in the fun, which made people even more homesick.

"'Jiang Wan is sad, and the deep mountains smell the partridges' is the cry of the partridge bird that makes the poet homesick. And "waiting for a home to return to, the cuckoo is crying in the ear" is said to be the cuckoo also makes people more homesick. Lan Yi lay on the bamboo bed, listening to the partridge cry in the mountains, and explained to Yu'er and the baby.

Although the baby is young, he likes his mother's soft and long voice when he reads poems, and he listens very carefully every time he hears Lan Yi explain the poems. Yu'er is older, and she loves Lang's catchy poems very much.

"Brother who can't do it," Yu'er whispered, listening to the partridge cry in the distance, "Duda, doo, doo...... Mother, this voice is much worse than 'Brother who can't do it'. ”

Lan Yi smiled, "Yu'er is right, and my mother doesn't think it's like it." However, I am afraid that I think it is very similar to the dialect of the place where the poet is located. When Yu'er grows up, she can walk around, see more dialects, and maybe meet something similar. ”

Children like to grow up the most, and Yu'er looks forward to traveling around when she grows up: "Are you like Uncle Zhao and Lei Fuzi?" ”

When the baby heard this, he turned over and lay on his mother's arm and said, "Third uncle, run." ”

Lan Yi kissed his little face, and Zhao Zhongxuan followed the Hua family's merchant ship out in the first month, but he didn't expect to come back. His mother looked forward to the merchant ship coming back day by day and inquired about it, only to find out that Zhao Zhongxuan saw the prosperous port, so he felt that it was a good place to make a fortune, so he stayed there and refused to come back with the merchant ship. Aunt Zhao cried a few times after hearing this, and the whole village knew about it, and they all talked about where Zhao Zhongxuan went, and even a child as big as a baby heard about it.

"Third Uncle Zhao is running out to do business, Lei Fuzi is a study tour, although they are both out of the house, but they do things differently." Lan Yi said. Lei Fuzi Lan Yi has not met, but I have heard Liu and others talk about it several times, it is a scholar who traveled here last year, and now he is teaching in the village's Yixue, he is easy-going, very good at learning, and is deeply loved by the villagers.

Yu'er nodded: "En." One is to earn money, and the other is to spend money. ”

Lan Yi turned around with a smile, pulled Yu'er over and kissed her twice: "Good son, that's a good point." In the future, when you grow up, you will go out to study, and you will spend money while earning money, and you will have to earn more than you spend to have a good time. ”

The two children nodded, and the baby yawned, rolled into Lan Yi's arms, closed his eyes, and was about to sleep. The baby is only two years old, but he doesn't need to be coaxed to sleep, and he closes his eyes and sleeps obediently when he arrives, and it is precisely because of this that Lan Yi can have time to rest at noon every day.

On this day, Lan Yi was drying herbs at home, but Yu'er and the baby brought back an unexpected guest to her, Lei Tianze, the master of Yixue.

Lei Tianze is in his twenties, handsome with a white face, and a white Confucian suit, which is really as elegant and gentle as everyone says.

It stands to reason that Lei Tianze's dress should be out of place in the small courtyard of the farmhouse, between the green mountains and green waters, but Lei Tianze's appearance makes Lan Yi feel that it looks surprisingly coordinated.

"Mrs. Wang, Xiaosheng is a master in righteousness, and I took the liberty to come here today, and I hope Mrs. will not blame you." Lei Tianze bowed and greeted politely.

Lan Yi invited him to sit down at the stone table under the grapevines in the courtyard, boiled water to make tea, and brought it up, and Lei Tianze explained his intention.

It turned out that today's Yixue was resting, and Lei Tianze got up to hang out, and met Yu'er a few while playing and grabbing stones, while singing poems that he had never heard of.

He listened to it a few times and found that it was a long sentence. Long and short sentences can be said to have just emerged in the Great Zhou, that is, the words and phrases that later generations said had word cards to sing.

Yu'er, they sang:

Trees surround the village, and the water fills the pond. Leaning on the east wind, wandering in Haoxing. A little bit of the small garden, collect the * light. There are peach blossom red, plum blossom white, cauliflower yellow.

Far away from the wall, faint thatched hall. Next to the green flag and the flowing water bridge. Occasionally, I took advantage of the pleasure and walked through the East Gang. The warbler is crying, the swallow is dancing, and the butterfly is busy.

Lei Tianze felt that this long and short sentence was very good, so he asked Yu'er who gave them to read and which ones he would read.

Yu'er read a few more poems, and Lei Tianze felt more and more surprised, so he couldn't help but go home with them to meet the mother who taught them poetry. After seeing Lan Yi, he was first surprised by Lan Yi's young appearance, and secondly, she was different from the peasant women in the village.

Yu'er is very excited now, he has been to Yixue a few times, and he has seen Lei Fuzi holding a book to class by the window. Unexpectedly, now this master came to his house and sat next to him and smiled at them.

Lan Yi couldn't help but be dumbfounded when she heard the truth. She has taken great care to teach the children only the verses that they already have in the previous dynasty, for fear of causing some trouble. This poem is Qin Shaoyou's famous work "Xingxiangzi Tree Around the Village", because the spring scene a few days ago really corresponds to the description of this poem, Lan Yi read it a few times for a while, and Yu'er learned it.

"The poems that Mrs. taught her children, Ziqian can only look up to them. The seemingly random idioms are easy to come by, but the words are fine, which makes people linger after reading them, and the aftertaste is endless. Lei Tianze took a sip of honeysuckle-brewed tea and said. Lei Ziqian, the word Tianze, according to the rules of the ancients, he now tells his real name that he is going to make her a friend, "This poem was written by Mrs.?" ”

"How can a little woman have such literary brilliance. The little woman's grandson was also a scholar, and when he was alive, he often talked with his friends about the past and the present, and when he arose, he would also write some poems. If she had done a good job, she would write it down, and the little woman had read a lot, and slowly memorized a few poems that were easy to understand. Lan Yi moved out with an excuse that she had already thought of.

Lei Tianze stood up and bowed deeply with his sleeves: "Ziqian is presumptuous and makes Mrs. sad." ”

Lan Yi asked him to sit down, to be honest, the longer he lived in the village, the more he became unaccustomed to Wen Zou Zou's way of speaking: "Master, the little woman really can't afford the word 'madam', you might as well call the little woman 'sister-in-law Wang'." ”

Lei Tianze nodded, he looked at Lan Yi's calm face, and couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Sister-in-law Wang, there is also this one: 'The wind comes in the morning, the rain comes in the night, and the smoke comes in the evening, it is she who brews the spring and breaks the year. 'The one before you, but by the same person?' ”

Of course not, this is Zhang Huiyan's masterpiece "Water Tune Song Head" in the Qing Dynasty! Yu'er, this kid, really wrote down a lot.

"The little woman doesn't know."

Lei Tianze felt a pity, he had already decided that the two long and short sentences were written by the same person, and it seemed that he couldn't inquire about it today: "If Ziqian can meet this person, he will be very fortunate in this life." ”

Lan Yi deeply sympathized with Lei Tianze's feelings. Yes, if you can meet these poems, it will not be in vain to come to this scene.

When she arrived here, in addition to the books given by Xia Wan, when she went to the county seat, she had to have time to look through other people's books in the bookstore, and no one communicated. In fact, she wanted to know what the literati thought in this era; I want to learn the requirements and rhythms of poetry in this era; I want to collect all the ancient books that have been lost and bury them in the ground to solve the confusion of modern people. But now she has no one to communicate with, no money to buy books, and can only wait for later.

Lei Tianze saw Lan Yi nodding, revealing his familiar expression, and then asked: "Sister-in-law Wang, I don't know if you have any other poems that you have written down, can you allow Ziqian to take a look?" ”

Lan Yi had a lot of famous sentences in her heart, but it was not suitable to show him: "That's all the little woman remembers." ”

"If you can get these songs, Ziqian should be content." Lei Tianze listened, and shook his head regretfully, "Who can not think and sing, who can not be hungry, having said that, good sentences are rare." ”

Seeing him so emotional, Lan Yi couldn't help but continue: "The little woman has also read a few books, and I feel that this poem is a matter of interest. I remember reading these eight sentences in a book: 'Plain is not vulgar, and strange is not adjacent to strangeness.' The inscription poem is not embarrassed by the image, and the narrative is not sick with the rhythm of sound. Those who are deeper than Xing are familiar with physics, and those who use ministry are like themselves. The grid is seen in the finished article, and it cannot be engraved; The anger is beyond words, and it is unyielding. The little woman thought so. ”

Lei Tianze was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and couldn't help but applaud after a silent recitation: "Madame's words are very good, and they have thoroughly explained the shortcomings of my generation of scholars. Ziqian You learned this, and it was a blessing to meet his wife. The grid is seen in the finished article, and it cannot be engraved; The anger is out of words, and it is unyielding, this is really a work of too white! ”

Lan Yi also chatted at this time, so she continued: "Lei Fuzi, you have won the award, and the little woman is just learning to speak. However, if the poem blends the scenes, the allegorical and the scene, and achieves no self, and there is me everywhere, it will be a great achievement. The little woman also likes Li Taibai's poems very much, fresh as spoken language, bold and uninhibited, really to the clear water out of the hibiscus, natural carving and decoration. It's a pity that I waited a few years later to be born and couldn't appreciate the Taibai style in person. ”

Lan Yi shook her head and sighed, picked up the teacup and drank the tea.

After hearing this, Lei Tianze couldn't help but secretly applaud, this widowed Mrs. Wang can be used as a "talented girl". Although she is modest, she is full of words, and she can come easily, and the pen and ink in her chest should be no less than herself.

It's a pity that she is widowed, and it is inconvenient for Lei Tianze to disturb more, otherwise he can often come to this small farm courtyard to discuss with her, which will be of great benefit to his knowledge.

"Ziqian admired the legacy of the sages, so he began to travel around, just thinking about learning Tao Qian, finding a place of peace of mind, and being a comfortable farmer."

"Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely seeing Nanshan?" Lan Yi smiled and asked casually, this Lei Tianze was very appetizing to him.

Lei Tianze also felt that talking to her was very appetizing, like an old friend who had known her for many years, so he unconsciously said a few more words: "Yes, that's exactly the case." After the tour, Ziqian felt that the people here were simple, the mountains and rivers were beautiful, and it happened that the Yixue in the village was short of teachers to teach, so he stayed, and his heart was very peaceful. "I have to meet Sister-in-law Wang today, and I feel that he is here to come to the right place.

Lan Yi was very envious of his study tour: "You can only do true learning by traveling thousands of miles, which is exactly what your master said." The word 'Tianze' is taken from the tenth hexagram of the Book of Changes, right? Shoes, feet to rely on, the gentleman is down-to-earth, traveling in all directions, this word is very good. ”

Lei Tianze was stunned for a moment, and showed a big smile: "Sister-in-law Wang, what you said is not bad. The word Tianze was given by his father, and his old man had this idea. ”

The two chatted vigorously, and although the children did not understand, they listened with relish around the table. The chickens and geese at home don't know much poetry, and the hens "cluck, cluck" after laying eggs.

When the baby heard the rooster crow, he immediately stood up and ran towards the coop: "Dandan, Dandan." ”

Lei Tianze stood up: "Ziqian has been bothering for a long time, and it is time to go back." ”R1152
