Chapter 62: A Different Third Brother

Even Yundong, who doesn't like his studies, wants to be recognized and praised when he learns from his uncle that his grandfather taught a "lifting master".

"Oh, what books have you learned?" Father Li saw Yundong's confident appearance, and he was also interested, so he asked out loud.

"Grandpa, I have learned some books such as "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", "Thousand Character Text", "Kindergarten Qionglin", "Longwen Whip Shadow", etc., and now I have learned "University", "The Mean", "Analects" and some poems and miscellaneous books on local general meanings." Yundong said confidently to his grandfather.

Father Li listened to Yundong's words, and looked surprised, he didn't expect that his grandson was only about nine years old, and he had already learned so much, and asked out loud: "Have you only read it, or are you familiar with it and can memorize it?" ”

"If you go back to your grandfather, you can basically memorize what you haven't learned, except for what you haven't learned."

"Chonghua is filial piety, Wu Mu is loyal. What's in the back? ”

"Chonghua is filial piety, Wu Mu is loyal. Yao's eyebrows are colorful, and Shun's eyes are heavy. The king of Shang prayed for rain, and the Hanzu sang in the wind. Xiu patrols Hebei, and plans to base Jiangdong. Taizong Huai Harrier (yào), 桓典成骢 (cōng). The guest Fu Xue, the Holy Ancestor Yinhong. Ye Xian autumn water, Xuansheng spring breeze. Kai Chong fights for wealth, and strives for merit. Wang Lun's envoys, Wei Jiang and Rong. Staying in Hanoi, He Shou Guanzhong .......... ”

Lang Lang's endorsement came, and Yundong, who had his eyes open, put his hands behind his back with his back on his back, and shook his head and memorized the contents of the book with the four-character break.

The subdued and frustrated children's voice spread throughout the hall, so that Yunxi, who was sitting in Li's mother's arms, was very surprised, she always knew that her third brother was not very fond of liberal arts, and dreamed of being a general, although he had said in front of him that he was good at school, but he didn't expect such a mouthful article, his third brother could actually memorize it, and look at the eyes of his grandfather as if he had found a treasure, so that Yunxi reacquainted himself with his third brother today.

"Poor without flattery, rich without pride". Why? ”

"The meaning of this saying is to say that the poor do not flatter, the rich but not arrogant, and it also teaches me and other juniors to be poor and not flattering, rich but not arrogant." Yundong replied to Li's father's words according to his own understanding of the Analects.

Grandpa Li nodded approvingly, he always knew that his daughter's second son was a genius in reading, but he didn't expect this younger son to be far behind.

"Okay, okay, our daughter finally brought the child to come once, why did you take on the responsibility of your master again, you haven't taught for several years, let my grandson have a good rest, drink some water to quench his thirst, memorize such a large section of books, and be tested by you, an old pedant, it's really ....." Mother Li saw that her daughter came well, and didn't hurry up to talk to her daughter more, eat a reunion dinner or something, but taught the child in this exam, and Mother Li, who was not used to it, spoke directly about Father Li.

Father Li was overjoyed when he saw this, so he unconsciously asked more, but he didn't expect to be reprimanded by his wife, but he was not annoyed, he couldn't lose face, he praised Yundong and told Yundong to study hard, so he let Yundong go back to his father's side.

Yunxi can be regarded as having a new understanding of her third brother today, and she feels that she wants to take back the sentence that she didn't see what her third brother has to do.

"Mother, I made a dress for you and your father, you try it at night to see if it fits, if it doesn't fit, please ask my sister-in-law to help modify it."

"Mother is not short of clothes to wear now, don't always make clothes for your mother and your father, you can still wear the clothes you send every year, your mother is reluctant to exhaust your eyes, otherwise your eyes will not be able to see clearly when you are old."

"Mother, don't get in the way, my daughter can't be filial to you and her father, she can only make clothes for you and her father to wear, and she should be a filial piety of her daughter."

"Hey, my mother knows that your child is filial."

In the hall, Li's mother hugged Yunxi and Li Wanrou chatted, and occasionally teased Yunxi in her arms and Yundong who stood next to Li Wanrou, Li Wanrou's eldest brother talked to Yunyi and Mr. Li from time to time, during which the sister-in-law Zhang went out to arrange the noon meal, and after the arrangement, Zhang's son Li Yan came back from visiting friends outside.

Li Yan has been admitted to Xiucai for three years, during which he has also participated in the Spring Festival, but he did not pass the examination, and after the Chinese New Year this year, it will be another year of Spring Festival, during which he has relatives at home and students who are officials in Beijing and have been closer, hoping to get some useful news.

Old man Li didn't know that his grandson was already planning to ask some people with backgrounds about the preferences of the examiners for next year's township exams.

Recently, he has been a little unhappy, his family background is too thin, these people disdain to be with him, which makes him very distressed, he thinks that his knowledge is not bad, but every time he is not on the list, he will be admitted to Xiucai at fifteen, and now three years have passed, he is still Xiucai, so that he has always been proud of himself is very hit, I don't know why?

After entering the house, he found that his mother, who came out to greet him as soon as he came back, did not come out today, and walked near the main hall, and heard the lively sound inside, and listened carefully, and found that it was his aunt's family who came, and quickly packed up his clothes, and then entered the hall.

"Yan'er is back, I haven't eaten yet, it just so happens that your aunt and your uncle are here, and we will eat together later." Mother Li saw her grandson come in, and immediately smiled and said.

"Grandfather, grandmother, father, uncle, aunt Ann." Li Yan saluted the elders present and replied.

"I haven't eaten yet, I just entered the house and I was thinking about why I didn't see my mother today, it turned out that my aunt and uncle were here, this is my cousin? It's already so tall, grandmother, this must be my little cousin, right? Li Yan looked at Yundong, who had grown up, and said in surprise, then looked at Yunxi in Li's mother's arms, and said to Li's mother.

"That's right, this is your aunt's youngest daughter, the big name Yunxi, the little name is Good Bao, your aunt's family is rare." Mother Li said to Li Yan with a smile.

When Yunxi came in, his cousin, noticed that he was wearing a moon-white wide-sleeved robe, his hair was tied with a ribbon of the same color on the top of his head, he was wearing a jade pendant with a pressure angle around his waist, and he was holding a folding fan in his hand, dressed as a literati and ink writer.

There is nothing special, the only thing worth being outstanding may be that he looks good, white and clean, Sven Wen, with his identity as a literati, and the temperament of the ancient population and Chinese weak scholars is dead.

"Oh, son, you're back, it's just right, my father's and mother's meals are ready, let my sister and brother-in-law take the children to eat together, it must have been so long, everyone is hungry." A few people were talking about this, and Zhang came in to inform everyone that the meal was ready.

Waiting for a group of people to sit down, the next people brought the meals to the table one after another, Li's mother and Li's father didn't say anything, and the family ate a reunion dinner comfortably.

After he was full of wine and food, Li Yan told his uncle that there was a lantern exhibition in Shanghe County today, and he could take his cousin and cousin to see it, put the river lanterns, guess the puzzle, and guess the right There are free lanterns to take.

The eyes that want to go are not too obvious, Yunxi has never seen the ancient lantern exhibition, even before the end of the world, it is rare to have the opportunity to see it, at most participate in the activities held in other cities on the Internet, and it is even more impossible to see it after the end of the world, now there is such a good opportunity, of course I have to go and see it.

Yunxi looked at Li Wanrou expectantly with a longing look, and finally Li Wanrou couldn't stand the pitiful eyes of her daughter, so she agreed dotingly.

Yundong and Yunxi cheered happily, causing Yunyi and Li Wanrou to shake their heads helplessly and dotingly.

Li's father and mother are also very supportive of Li Wanrou to take the child out for a walk, which is much better than a child who has never seen the world, she has seen more, and what she thinks and sees is no different from others, which is also helpful for the child's future life.

After Li Wanrou and Li's mother finished chatting, Yun Yi and Li Wanrou got up and said that they were going home, and they were going to go back to take Yun's father and mica and go to the county seat to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival together.

Mother Li also knew that her daughter was married after all, although she was reluctant, she was also very sensible, and asked the Zhang family to bring some return gifts to her in-laws and let her subordinates prepare.

After the return gift was ready, the next person drove the Yunjia ox cart to the door, Li Wanrou hugged Yunxi and got into the ox cart, Yundong was already a big child, so he easily got on the ox cart, Li Wanrou and Li Mu were reluctant, and finally Yun Yi drove the ox cart to Yunjia Village.
