Ye Jing looked at Ye Chunqiu helplessly, and only hoped that Ye Chunqiu would respond quickly, so as not to be embarrassed.

Ye Chunqiu felt that this father was tired enough, and he couldn't bear to embarrass him, so he said with a smile: "Yes, I like these dishes very much, I usually can't eat such good dishes in Ningbo." ”

The third uncle still stroked his beard and smiled: "It's not that the uncle treats you slowly, you must know that this Zicheng ......" When he said Zicheng, he glanced at the clan uncle with confidence.

It turns out that the word of the clan uncle is called Zicheng.

The third uncle continued: "This son is nine out of ten in the township test, and he will take the test at the age of tomorrow, in short, sooner or later he will have an official body, this is really not an old boast, or even Mr. Luming said so." As for him, he will soon become an official, what is the most important thing for an official? Don't you know? When Emperor Taizu was there, there was a natural disaster, the grain harvest in various places was poor, and the people lived very poorly, but some high-ranking officials and nobles were poor and luxurious, and spent all day drinking. Emperor Taizu was born between Qianmo and survived poverty, and he was very annoyed by this and was determined to rectify it; It coincided with the birthday of Queen Ma, Taizu took advantage of the ministers' birthday celebrations, and then put on a feast, deliberately put out coarse tea and light rice to entertain guests, you see, this fried radish, radish is a hundred flavors of medicine, and the folk proverb has 'radish on the market, medicine shop closed'. There is also this fried leek, which is evergreen all year round, symbolizing long-term stability; And then there are these fried vegetables, isn't this exactly the meaning of being honest and honest and having two sleeves of 'green' wind? You see, Taizu is like this, it can be regarded as painstaking, Zicheng will become an official in the future, although others can spend all day and wine, but he can't do it, why not? If you live a luxurious life, won't you be impeached by the imperial history? made the constitution look sideways, and the subordinates did not dare to get close. This is not good, and it will suffer a big loss in the future. Therefore, the old man warned him that this usual meal, only these four dishes and one soup can be eaten, this is to imitate the thrift of Taizu, and will be praised by hundreds of officials in the future, if the Son of Heaven hears it, he must summon His Majesty Dan, so that he can bathe in Hong'en. All in all, our Ye family in Hangzhou must live frugally, and we must not let people pick out thorns and gossip. ”

Groove ...... Looks like it makes sense.

Ye Chunqiu never imagined that this third uncle would see such a long-term view, this Nima, I was afraid that the clan uncle would enter the pavilion and become the elder of the pavilion. Fortunately, his brain hole is not big enough, otherwise he is probably thinking about letting the clan uncle follow Wang Mang's humble courtesy, corporal Lixian, and then usurp the Han family's country as the emperor.

The third uncle said, his throat seemed to be choked by something, he was busy beckoning, and the maid who was waiting on the side brought a silver spittoon, he spit out the turbidity, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Zicheng is a late bloomer, I looked for someone to tell him his fortune, the first half of his life was a little wasted, and his career is only in this department." He is one step slower than others in his career path, and when he becomes an official in the future, he should be even more cautious and cautious, so he only eats four dishes and one soup here, come, you also have a try. ”

Ye Jing was busy with chopsticks to pick up the pickled radish handed by the third uncle with chopsticks.

Ye Chunqiu felt that he was very fortunate that he was too far away from the third uncle, so that no one would stuff his bowl with green vegetables and radishes.

The clan uncle smiled beside him and said: "Spring and autumn, you have to eat more tofu soup, eat tofu to make it hot, young people should be as light as water." ”

Ye Chunqiu reluctantly complied, seeing that they were eating with relish, especially the fried vegetables, and in a moment's effort, they were swept away.

Presumably, the clan uncle likes the 'two-sleeved breeze' very much.

During the banquet, he couldn't help mentioning some things about making articles, and the clan uncle shook his head: "Last time I found an exam question, called Gentleman Has No End of Food, Ziyi, do you know how to solve the question?" ”

Ye Jing is old, although he has been studying hard these days, but compared to the clan uncle who has been studying behind closed doors every day and has been the same for decades, the level has naturally been pulled down a lot, and people are prepared, and after a long time, they can't remember where this question came from.

When the third uncle saw Ye Jing's embarrassment, he smiled and said: "Zicheng, don't embarrass Ziyi, my father knows that you are knowledgeable, but Ziyi is your brother, how can you use your knowledge to make things difficult for him?" The most important thing in reading is to compare with yourself, you must not know that the sky is high and thick because you have learned five cars, you must know that there is a sky outside the sky, there are people outside the people, you can take the question today, but tomorrow if you meet someone like the prince of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials? ”

Ye Chunqiu was about to vomit out a mouthful of old blood, and he couldn't eat anymore.

However, the clan uncle was busy with a look of shame, and hurriedly apologized: "Yes, yes, it's his son Meng Lang, and his son shouldn't be embarrassed." ”

After eating, Ye Jing accompanied the third uncle and father and son to eat tea and sit in the hall, Ye Chunqiu borrowed an excuse and said that he wanted to go back to study, and the clan uncle said with a smile: "Chunqiu, since you are doing your homework, it is not good for your uncle to keep you, if you have any difficulties in studying in the future, just come and ask me, I will naturally solve your doubts for you." ”

Ye Chunqiu wanted to say something, but he still held back, and said with a smile: "Yes, my nephew knows." ”

Obediently withdrew, he finally got out of the hall, saw the thick night outside, and breathed the night air, Ye Chunqiu breathed a long sigh of relief.

It's like a year, why don't the damn examiners come out of the exam date.

In fact, he is hungry now, and he has not eaten half a bowl of rice in total, and he has eaten a leaf of green vegetables, two pickled radish, oh, by the way, and the gentleman-like tofu that symbolizes the flawless white jade.

When he returned to the room, he felt quite sorry for his father, but he didn't know what to say about the third uncle and the uncle.

Anyway, he didn't want to, he didn't have the heart to practice calligraphy, so he simply lay on the couch, closed his eyes and opened his light brain, looking for some information to read.

When it was the dead of night, Ye Jing came back on tiptoe, as if he was afraid that the noise would reach Ye Chunqiu, so he tried not to make a sound, like a night owl.

Ye Chunqiu coughed deliberately.

When Ye Jing heard the movement, he paused.

Ye Chunqiu couldn't pretend to be asleep, so he simply got up and said, "Dad, what did the third uncle and the clan uncle say?" ”

Ye Jing saw that Ye Chunqiu hadn't slept, so his spirit relaxed, and he was busy holding the lamp, and said, "Why don't you light the lamp?" Your third uncle, he, naturally, has taught some principles of life. Your uncle's knowledge is very profound, and I have benefited a lot from listening to his commentary on Cheng Zhu's commentary today, and your uncle is very good. ”

Ye Chunqiu didn't debunk anything, just pursed his lips and smiled: "Well, Dad, are you hungry, I'm hungry." ”

"Ah......" Ye Jing was also hungry, but it was inconvenient to say, so he had to say: "If you go to the cook to ask for food, I am afraid that it will be passed on to the third uncle and cause them to be unhappy, hey, I will go out and buy some on the street." ”
