It's the middle of summer, and Beigou Village is a good place to cool off because of its proximity to the mountains and water. When the people in the village are busy, they will gather under the shade of the willows next to the flower stream to enjoy the shade, talk about the gossip of the east and the west, and many women will also gather by the stream to wash their clothes and chat lively.

Lan Yi came out of Le Xiangju, the time was close to noon, at this time the sun was scorching, Lan Yi took the big hat and rode the donkey to rush home, and the two children should be hungry.

When the three women who were enjoying the shade at the entrance of the village saw her coming far away on a donkey, they touched each other's shoulders, changed their eyes, and began to talk loudly.

"Isn't this a 'talented lady'? What's the matter, you're in town again? ”

Lan Yi lifted the hat and smiled, and she clamped the donkey's belly between her feet and let it continue to move forward.

This is really a coincidence, sitting by the river is Zhou Yang's daughter-in-law Liu who quarreled with her, and the other two are Widow Zheng and Hu who newly married into the village, and these three people have no relationship with her.

"Just got back from the city."

Liu was gnawing on the mountain peach that had just been washed with stream water, spit out a peach pit and said, "Xiucai lady, you must have earned a lot of silver on this trip, right?" ”

Lan Yi came back with an empty basket, naturally not to go into the city to buy things, but to sell things.

"You guys are talking, there are still children at home, I'll go back first." Lan Yi didn't bother to talk to them.

Widow Zheng next to Liu's heard that she was going back to take care of the child, thinking that Lan Yi was showing off to herself, and snorted coldly and said, "Brother and sister, how can you not have the effort to say two words to us?" ”

Widow Zheng was dressed brightly and decently, and she looked like Zhou Zhengnai, but those slender eyes looked at Lan Yi without any smile at this time, which made people feel disgusted. Lan Yi and Widow Zheng, as two young widows in Beigou Village, are naturally often compared by the villagers, and the result is naturally that Lan Yi's style evaluation is much better than Widow Zheng, who is thinking about finding a good family to remarry at this moment, and Widow Zheng is even more dissatisfied when she sees Lan Yi.

Hu Shi, who was dressed in red clothes and dressed in fancy clothes, covered his mouth with a fan and said meaningfully: "That is, we are illiterate, and we can't understand the poem of 'Xiucai Lady'!" ”

Widow Zheng pretended to be curious and asked, "Oh? So who can understand? ”

Hu Shijiao said with a smile: "Those who can understand are naturally scholars and talents." Isn't it, sister-in-law Wang? ”

This Hu family just married into Beigou Village last month, and somehow got involved with the Liu family and Widow Zheng, and naturally didn't have a good impression of Lan Yi.

Lei Tianze is handsome, elegant, and polite, and the whole village has a high evaluation of him, and the eldest girl and little daughter-in-law will inevitably take a few more glances when they see him. Therefore, the few exchanges between Lan Yi and Lei Tianze were also seen by everyone, and it was inevitable that some people would catch wind and gossip.

Liu Shi seized the opportunity at this time, and said sharply: "The talented lady is not such a person, don't talk nonsense." People can swear to heaven and earth that they are decent, and if they have a little crooked mind, they will be thundered by the sky. She always remembered the hatred that Lan Yi slapped her twice, and she didn't forget to mock her with what Lan Yi said at that time.

Lan Yi glanced at them coldly, put down the reins in his hand, and flicked his wrist. Seeing her move, Liu's face jumped a few times, and his eyes were timid and fierce.

"I naturally remember what I said, if you forget, I can remind you!"

A few people were stunned, they didn't expect her to be so strong, and the corners of Widow Zheng's clothes were full of mouths. Hu and Liu turned their heads and saw that Zhao Li was walking towards this side, so they stopped saying no more, lowered their heads and pretended not to see.

"Lin Shan's family, are you entering the city?" Zhao Lizheng glanced at the Liu family and the Zheng widow next to him, and then looked at the Hu family who were mixed with them, frowned and turned his head to smile at Lan Yi.

Lan Yi jumped down from the donkey when he saw him coming, and replied with a smile: "Yes, I went to the city and sold the things that my family had accumulated during these days, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to save it in the hot weather." ”

Zhao Lizheng knew that Lan Yi boiled the family's goat milk into milk powder and sold it for money, and he now has two dairy sheep at home, and his two daughters-in-law also milk milk and boil milk powder every day.

"It's still your brain that can figure out so many methods." Zhao Lizheng smiled, "I was looking for you, but I didn't meet here, let's go, let's talk while walking." ”

Lan Yi nodded and took a step behind him.

Zhao Li said as if chatting: "I saw that the peony seedlings on the hillside last year grew quite tall. ”

Lan Yi smiled and replied, "Uncle Yang, you have also seen it, the peonies on our hillside are not difficult to manage." Second Uncle told you, those seedlings can be planted this autumn, you can also plant some. ”

Zhao Lizheng nodded: "I'm thinking so, but there are few people in the family, I'm afraid I can't take care of it, and if this peony is sick, it will be troublesome." ”

Lan Yi didn't talk, now the people in the village who know how to take care of peonies are Zhao Shangjing and Wang Linxi, and other people have to ask these two people if they have any questions, and it is not appropriate for her to promise anything.

"Yesterday Lei Fuzi came to look for me, saying that his mother wanted to recognize you as a righteous daughter, and asked me to be a witness." Lei Tianze, the gossip of the people in the village, naturally heard it, and he really appreciated Lan Yi's personality and talent, so he moved his mind to recognize his relatives, so that it would be much easier to move around in the future.

Lei Tianze is very knowledgeable, and he is deeply appreciated by the masters of Yixue and Zhao Lizheng's talented son Zhao Liangcai, so Zhao Lizheng also looks up to him. With his vicious eyes, he naturally saw that Lei Tianze was born in a wealthy family, and he naturally wouldn't fall in love with a widow like Lan Yi who dragged two children, maybe it was really what he said to admire Lan Yi's literary brilliance.

The last time the two proofread the peony poetry book, Lei Tianze once said that he wanted to recognize her as a righteous sister. Lan Yi didn't care about it at the time, but he didn't expect him to write home and tell his mother about it, and really recognized himself as a righteous sister.

"For Uncle Yang, I still have to tell my second uncle and aunt about this matter."

Zhao Lizheng nodded, this is also how it should be.

After Lan Yi told the second uncle and aunt, the two did not object. Lan Yi and Lei Tianze have seen several exchanges in their eyes, so they naturally won't believe the gossip in the village, and after recognizing their relatives, it will be much easier to move around in the future.

Three days later, under the witness of Zhao Lizheng and Second Uncle Wang, Lei Tianze set up wine in the village's righteous school, and recognized Lan Yi as his righteous sister very seriously.

In ancient times, the portal bloodline was emphasized, and the relatives were not casually recognized. Lei Tianze changed out of his white clothes, changed into a blue robe, tied a jade belt around his waist, and pedaled high boots, fading a point of scholarly elegance and adding three points of noble son's bearing.

During the banquet, Zhao Lizheng first read a letter from Lei Tianze's mother, saying that Lan Yi was smart and studious, and she was quite loved by Lei's mother and recognized as a righteous daughter.

Subsequently, Lei Tianze took out a jade pendant and a pair of jade bracelets and handed them to Lan Yi, saying that it was a gift from her mother to recognize her relatives.

Lan Yi is wearing a plain blue new dress today, wearing a silver hairpin, yellow sideburns appliqués, and a pair of bright moons tied to her ears, which is a serious dress that she has never seen before.

She respectfully buttoned the letter three times, and then stood up and took the jade bracelet and jade belt, she is a godmother.

"I've seen Big Brother." Lan Yi saluted Lei Tianze.

Lei Tianze shook his head with a smile: "It's right for my little sister to call me the third brother, and there are two brothers in the family." The mother had been looking forward to having a daughter, and now she finally got her wish. This is a meeting gift from the third brother, and I hope that the little sister will not be shabby. ”

With that, Lei Tianze took a stack of books from the little scholar behind him and handed it to Lan Yi with both hands.

Lan Yi looked at the top book of "Shangshu" with shining eyes, and quickly took it, and found that the bottom was actually "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" and "Wenxin Carving Dragon", these are all precious books!

Holding the book in her arms, Lan Yi smiled at Lei Tianze: "Thank you, third brother." Yu'er, baby, came over to see the third uncle. ”

Yu'er and Baobao were also dressed in new clothes, and they came up to kowtow to Lei Tianze and shouted, "Third uncle." ”

Lei Tianze hurriedly picked up the two children, brought them two jade pendants, and laughed out loud when he saw Lan Yi holding the book and couldn't bear to let go and look through it immediately.

What could be more pleasing than giving something you love and being regarded as a treasure by the other person?

Lei Tianze and Second Uncle Wang's family invited everyone to take a seat, and the little scholar next to Lei Tianze, Qianmo, respectfully pulled out a stool for Lan Yi: "Fourth girl, please take a seat." ”

Qianmo is only twelve or thirteen years old, and he looks very clever. He has been by Lei Tianze's side since he was a child, and he understands the temperament of his master very well, and this time Lei Tianze recognized Lan Yi as his righteous sister in such a high-profile manner, which made Qianmo very puzzled. But he is a subordinate, and what the master believes is what he has to abide by, Lei Tianze told him to call Lan Yi the fourth girl, and he naturally complied.

Lan Yi didn't care too much about the title, she beckoned the Li family, the Chen family, the Liu family and the Hua family of Zhao Lizheng's family to sit down in the house together, and had a lively meal, and the form of recognizing relatives was completed.

After everyone dispersed, Lan Yi and Lei Tianze sat in the room, and she said with a smile: "Third brother, do we accept students from Yixue and only accept those over eight years old?" ”

Lei Tianze picked up the teacup and looked at Yu'er who was staring at him next to him, and knew what Lan Yi wanted to say: "That's right, but it's not inevitable, everyone is mainly afraid that the child will not be able to sit still when he is too young, and he will not be sent in until he is eight years old." Yu'er should be seven years old next year, right, and Xiaomei plans to let him go to school? ”

Lan Yi nodded: "Exactly, Yu'er, this child is down-to-earth and studious, I want him to go to school with the second uncle's Dafu, so that he can be a companion." ”

Yu'er has Lan Yi's teaching, and the words and poems she recognizes are not less, and she has no choice but to enroll.

"Yes. Is Xiaomei planning to let Yu'er win the top prize in the imperial examination? ”

Lan Yi shook her head: "I didn't think about it, I just wanted to let my children enter school to read and write, learn more things, and have more knowledge." If Yu'er is older and interested in the imperial examination, I won't stop it, and if I'm not interested, I won't object. ”

Lei Tianze agrees with Lan Yi's point of view, after all, reading poetry and books to enter the temple is an opportunity for many scholars to jump into the dragon gate, but he is watching the officialdom deceit, ups and downs, where is the happiness between the mountains and rivers.

Yu'er heard that she could enter the school next to her, so she jumped high happily and said to Lei Tianze, "Thank you, third uncle." Mother, Yu'er wants to take the top prize, not only the top score, but also the top scorer in martial arts. ”

Lei Tianze saw that Yu'er was holding up her small chest and looking majestic, and the baby was looking at her brother with great admiration. He smiled and patted Yu'er's immature little shoulder: "Yu'er is so ambitious!" ”

The two children of the little sister are well taught and very likable, and if their mother sees them, they must like them very much. However, it is quite far from home, and it is not easy to see it.

Lan Yi shook her head helplessly, since this kid practiced boxing with Zhou Weiji, he has been making his posture look good every day, but as the saying goes, it is much more difficult to cultivate a martial champion than a literary champion.

"Third brother, this is the poetry book we have printed, can you see if it can be done?" Lan Yi handed the peony poetry book to Lei Tianze and asked him to look at it.

The preface of the poem is written by Lan Yi, dashing, straightforward, and finally mentioned Lei Tianze's contribution to this book in the text, expressing his gratitude, etc., when he put it down, he called himself Qingshanke.

"Little sister, can you have a chance to see this Qingshan Ke as a brother?" Several good poems in the poetry book are signed by Qingshanke, Lan Yi only said that because it was made by her deceased husband and friends, she didn't know his name, so she simply called Qingshanke. Lei Tianze admires Wang Linshan's poetic attainments at the pinnacle of his friend "Qingshan Ke", and has been looking forward to seeing each other one day.

"It can only depend on fate." Aoyama Ke is a character made up by himself, where can he see it.

Lei Tianze looked at Lan Yi with a smile: "Why, the third brother thinks that this 'Qingshan Ke' is the little sister?" ”R1152
