Chapter 292: The Land of Heaven
Haikou City, the innocence of the military superintendent.
This is where Sun Chuanting works and lives, and there is a three-and-a-half-story luxury villa in the house, which is his residence, and there are all kinds of facilities such as water and electricity.
In fact, as the commander of the millions of innocent troops, Sun Chuanting's busiest stage was the first two years, when he led a large army to fight everywhere, exterminated many indigenous forces, and severely damaged many indigenous kingdoms.
But since the second half of last year.
After all the resistance was defeated.
Sun Chuanting finally calmed down, summed up the past experience in dealing with the natives, and wrote a "Handbook for Resisting the Natives", which included all the lessons and lessons, and the commanders behind him, as long as they dealt with them according to this manual, could deal with more than 95% of the situations.
Then Sun Chuanting felt that he had almost done what he had to do.
Now he can go about his business.
After all, most of the current millions of innocent troops have been turned into soldiers, leaving only less than 100,000 basic soldiers, and only less than 1,000 people are with him, and they will be expanded in a very critical situation.
So even if Sun Chuanting is usually lazy and fishing, there is no problem.
Of course!
He is a person with aspirations, it is impossible to touch the fish, and in recent times, what he has considered the most is the basic theoretical direction of Neo-Confucianism, how to value the people? How do you regulate business power? He thinks for a long time every day about how to establish a more harmonious and stable ruling order, how to curb people's unlimited desires and greed, and so on, and thinks about all kinds of models in his mind, hoping to find a feasible way out and save the dangerous Confucianism.
It's just that now the family is here.
Sun Chuanting had to put aside the 'Save Confucianism' and the like for the time being, and set aside a few days to accompany his family.
Like taking them everywhere.
Take them to experience a variety of cuisines.
Occasionally, take them out to sea to have fun and see the beauty of the sea.
At night, even if a person is middle-aged and a little older, the rain and dew are still released a lot, so his wife Zhang, concubines Shi, Lu and other women can find that their faces are a lot ruddy, and they are radiant every day, as if they are several years younger.
As for his son Sun Shirui, and his daughters Sun Feiyan and Sun Feiling, even if they only stayed here for a short period of four or five days, their impression of Hainan has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Didn't you say that this was a miasma? Why so far, they have not shown the slightest sign of adaptation, they eat well, sleep well, and jump around, and not a single one is sick.
It is said that the total population is more than 2.5 million, which is higher than that of Daizhou, the hometown of Shanxi, and is full of popularity and vitality.
Commerce is also very developed, in the trade market, you can buy anything, even if it is some commercial goods that are not available in Daizhou, they can also buy, because Hainan Island is in an important transit position of maritime logistics, not only many commercial goods, the price is also quite low, the price of many commodities is cheaper than Daizhou's hometown.
Of course, in the eyes of these three siblings, there are two main points that impress them the most.
One is that this place is too warm and comfortable, as long as you wear two layers of thin single clothes every day, sleep on a bamboo mat at night, cover a thin blanket, and the hometown of Daizhou, this season can freeze people half to death, every day to wear five or six layers of clothes, wrap yourself tightly, and cover more than 20 pounds of quilts at night, when sleeping there is a feeling of being pressed out of breath, but not covered and not good.
Secondly, there are too many delicacies and fruits here.
In private, on this topic alone, the three siblings can take stock for most of the day.
"I like to eat the fruits here, whether it is coconut, banana, star fruit, mango, sugarcane, pineapple, longan, lychee, I like to eat them all, but I can't eat them at all in my hometown, I can only eat some dates, plums, pomegranates and persimmons, the quantity and variety are not as good as here, and I can't eat them every day." Sun Fei flutes.
"I also like to eat fruits, but what I like to eat is rice cakes, rice noodles, rice noodles that I can eat in the morning, especially rice noodles mixed with chili oil, which are so delicious, I will not get tired of eating them every day, and I also love to eat rice, as long as it is related to rice, it is delicious in my place." The girl Sun Feiling said that she is a loyal rice party, noodles and steamed buns in the north, etc., she is tired of eating and doesn't like to eat, and Hainan is rich in rice and no wheat, which is to come to heaven for her.
"Fruit is just a snack, and rice will get tired sooner or later, so if you want me to say, the best thing here is all kinds of seafood from the sea."
Brother Sun Shirui said: "Abalone is delicious, right? Garlic vermicelli oysters are delicious, right? Big lobster big crab is delicious, right? There are also a variety of steamed sea fish, fried fish, and stewed seafood soup, all of which are delicious, right? If you exchange seafood for fruit and rice, would you be willing to exchange it? ”
"Change, change, of course!"
"Brother is right, seafood is much better than rice noodles."
"But the fruit still has to be eaten, there are rambutan, lotus mist, papaya, dragon fruit here I haven't eaten much, no matter how delicious the seafood is, you can't give up the fruit."
"That's right, no matter what is delicious, we have to eat it all, and we have to eat enough!"
The two girls swallowed as they spoke.
"What two greedy little gluttonous cats."
Sun Shirui shook his head with a smile and said, "Since you like to eat, you can eat enough, anyway, you can't stay too long, eat whatever you want, don't worry about becoming a fat girl." ”
Hear this.
Sun Feiyan and Sun Feiling's faces changed, and they immediately lowered their heads and fell silent, no longer lively just now.
"What's wrong with you?"
Sun Shirui noticed the abnormality and looked at them puzzled: "Yanyan, Lingling, why aren't you happy?" Tell me something. ”
"Brother, I think this place is better than my hometown, it's warm all year round, and there are all kinds of delicious food, I don't want to go back a little, can our family stay here for a while longer, don't go back so soon?" Sister Sun Feiyan raised her head and said.
"Brother, can you persuade Daddy to agree that we will stay here for a few more days, and it is better to wait for the north to warm up before going back."
Sun Feiling looked at him more dumbfoundedly.
"This ......"
Sun Shirui looked embarrassed, he didn't want to stay here for a little longer, but his father's order was difficult to disobey, saying that if he stayed for four or five days, that is, four or five days, and never more than ten days, otherwise it would be an act of disobedience and filial piety, and he was causing trouble to his father, and he couldn't do such a thing.
"Brother, help, what you say, Daddy will definitely think about it."
"It's a big deal, we begged my father with my brother, and he might have relented and agreed."
"Brother, don't you want to stay a few more days? Don't you want to follow your father and learn some of the art of war, as well as follow Chen Guard, and learn how to use firearms? ”
"Yes, brother, it's so cold in the north, what are we going back to do so quickly, what if we get sick on the road in such weather?"
The two younger sisters said one after another, calling the more affectionate title of their brother, and one of them held a hand and kept shaking his arm to plead.
How can Sun Shirui withstand this?
He had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay, you two little gluttonous cats are enough, don't shake it, I will mention this to my father, but if my father doesn't agree, then I can't help it." ”
"Thank you, brother!"
"Brother, you're so good!"
The two younger sisters said happily, and returned to their cheerful and lively cute appearance, and it was precisely such sisters who made Sun Shirui feel that there was nothing he could do about them.
……
In the evening of the same day.
On the dinner table.
When I was about to eat dinner, I saw my father Sun Chuanting, who was drinking the health soup after the meal.
"Father!"
In the expectant and encouraging eyes of his younger sister Sun Feiyan and Sun Feiling, Sun Shirui bowed his hand and said to Sun Chuanting: "The child has some requests, I hope my father can agree." ”
"Say." Sun Chuanting put down the health soup and looked at him.
"The child in the examination of the homework, there are a lot of things I don't understand, I want to ask my father for a few days, in addition to the cold in the north, if you go back to Daizhou now, the child is worried about the mother and the three aunts' body, a little unbearable, I don't know if we can wait until April and May, after the weather warms, we will return to Daizhou, the child can be assured, will not cause chaos to the father, but if the father is really busy with official business, can not be disturbed, two days back on the line...... I hope my father will think about it. ”
Hear this.
The eyes of all the family members present were on Sun Chuanting.
In these eyes, there is worry, fear, anticipation and excitement, and there is also anxiety, as if waiting for some kind of verdict.
Feeling the various emotions contained in these gazes, Sun Chuanting's hand movements stopped, the expression on his face disappeared, and he fell into silence.
I have to say that my son found two very good excuses to leave.
One is to ask for homework, so as to gain fame in the future, Sun Chuanting is not opposed to this, although he feels that today's imperial examination system, full of problems, causing people to be rigid in their minds, but the four books and five classics are classics, and it is beneficial to study them thoroughly, which can benefit people for life.
So he couldn't refuse.
And at this moment, it is cold in the north, it is indeed not suitable to go back, and the bumpy journey is a very risky thing, in case of poor physique and any disease, it is possible to die.
Therefore, out of filial piety, Sun Shirui asked for a delayed return, and it was difficult for Sun Chuanting to object.
It's just that......
He can't fall for Xujiazhuang's paralyzing scheme.
The cause he wants to do is too big and too important, it is likely to be related to the question of whether Confucianism can continue for thousands of years for two thousand years, if it is done, he is the new saint of Confucianism, if he fails, he has no regrets, at least he has made efforts.
Therefore, in the face of this great event, in front of this great ideal, the family is not important, it can be sacrificed and abandoned, and to do academic research, it is necessary to have a quiet and undisturbed environment in order to enter the state of deep thinking, otherwise he will indulge in the warmth of his family every day, and fall into the consumption of beauty, he will not be able to achieve anything, he will only be lax, lazy, and even achieve nothing in the end.
Therefore, he must be ruthless and drive out all these family members, and not a single one of them can be left!
They stay for three days at most, no, five days or so, and then they have to pack up and go back.
"You guys are still ......," Sun Chuanting said in a deep voice.
"Husband, we won't bother you!"
His wife, Zhang, interrupted him and said: "In this villa, you are busy with your own affairs in the study, we clean, do laundry and cook, go out to buy vegetables and rice, without your instructions, we will never step into the study for half a step, and we will not cause you trouble." ”
Concubine Shi also said: "Yes, master, you can treat us as subordinates, we promise to serve you properly, and there will be no mess." ”
Concubine Lu said: "Master, can't you stay a little longer?" This time we went back, do we have to wait another two years before we can meet? Life is too short, and we still have a few more years or two. ”
The concubine Wang wiped her tears and sobbed: "If the master really dislikes us, let's just go back to Daizhou." ”
Son Sun Shirui hurriedly said: "Father, the children can study their own homework, and I will also discipline the two younger sisters, and it will never affect your father's affairs." ”
Daughters Sun Feiyan and Sun Feiling said: "Daddy, we will be very well-behaved and will listen to you." ”
This......
Seeing the begging of these family members and their children.
Sun Chuanting felt a headache, and his original hard-hearted heart couldn't help but soften.
If he had shut himself in his study and had not been disturbed by anyone, he would have stayed in it all day, and no one would have dared to disturb him, the head of the family.
Secondly, having these wives and concubines to serve him must be much better than those who are subordinate nannies, at least his taste of eating, daily preferences, and unbearable problems, these wives and concubines are very well understood, which will put him in a more comfortable living environment, and can be a good help for him, not a burden and trouble.
As for his son Sun Shirui, he doesn't want him to go back, he also wants to train this son to be an excellent successor and inherit his ideas.
There are also two daughters, and seeing their faces full of anticipation and pleading, his heart will soften tenfold faster.
In the end, the thought of vacillation prevailed, so he had to wave his hand and say, "That's it, I'll leave you until April, and when the weather is warm, you still have to go back quickly." ”
"Thank you, father!"
"Xie Fujun!"
"My lord understands me for waiting, thank you, sir."
"Daddy, we will listen to you well and be filial to you with my brother."
All the family members were overjoyed, expressed their gratitude, and actively expressed their goodwill.
This scene made Sun Chuanting shake his head helplessly, but for some reason, his heart was extremely warm, and he couldn't help but show a kind smile, and even melted his heart of iron and stone.
