Chapter 1 Crossing the Northern Song Dynasty

Next Chapter

During the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a big tree village under the rule of Yangzhou Mansion, when the sun was already slanting to the west, and the fields were floating in the twilight. The smoke curls up, and there are a few dogs barking and chickens crowing from time to time.

Looking around, this side is the green mountain, the other side is the stream, when the sun sets, the pale golden oblique light shines on the stream, the clear stream is sparkling, around the craggy strange stones, rushing and meandering, like a silver practice. And the sky is full of glow red, lining the distant mountains and shallow blue, the clear stream meanders, as if the green landscape written by a famous artist, the scenery is extremely beautiful.

A seven-year-old boy sat by the stream, looking at the scenery that was comparable to the 5A-level scenic spots in later generations, and his face was sad.

No matter how good this scenery is, it's not as good as giving him a chicken leg.

This young man was originally a modern visitor, a graduate of an ordinary 211 university majoring in ancient literature, because it was really difficult to find a job that could be matched. I had to look for it while studying at the same time, but it turned out that I was nearly 30 years old, and my doctor was about to graduate, and I didn't find anyone who was particularly satisfied.

So I went to Putuo Mountain to seek career luck, and I don't know if Guanyin Bodhisattva heard it, and arranged it with great mercy, or what. When I woke up, I ran to the Great Song Dynasty in a daze, and inquired, the current year name is Qingli, that's right, it is the Qingli of Fan Wenzheng's new policy. Of course, this has nothing to do with Li Hao for the time being, but it is just right, but during the Renzong period, the world was peaceful, and the imperial examination was prevalent. This has made him so hard to study Tang poems and Song Ci, Four Books and Five Classics for so many years not in vain, but it is really a professional counterpart.

Anyway, I also came out of an orphanage, no house, no car, and no savings, I really don't have anything to worry about in modern society, I have worked hard when I came to this Great Song Dynasty, and lived the days of these three wives and four concubines, and the ancient scholars and doctors with nephrite and warm fragrance.

It's just that it's been exactly a month since I came, and with the current body memory, I know the situation at home, and I'm a proper poor peasant. The family lives in a thatched hut and mud house, sitting north and facing south. There is a courtyard after entering the door, about seventy or eighty square meters, and then in the middle is a main house where my parents live, and there are two guest rooms on both sides side by side, and I live in the one on the right. Then there is a kitchen on the east side and a utility room on the west side. In addition to the house, the family property is two acres of thin fields and a pond.

In addition, my father can do some carpentry work, and my mother also has a good hand in embroidery, so I can supplement the family from time to time.

So the population of the family is also simple, his father's surname is Li, his name is Li Jian, and he fled from other places. Because he is loyal and diligent, and there are no in-laws above, his mother values him and marries him, so his mother is basically the master of the house at home. The mother's surname is Wei, and her parents died early, and she has a sister, who has not seen a few times in her predecessor's memory, but she only heard that she married an official and became a concubine, and she passed away the year before last.

"Li Hao, Li Hao, your mother told you to go back."

Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a cry and hurriedly replied: "Got it, Aunt Zhang, I'll go back immediately." ”

As he spoke, he got up and ran home, for fear that he would have to teach a lesson again when he returned late.

There are 32 families in Dashu Village, which are located near mountains and rivers, and at a glance, except for the two large houses, which are large houses built by civil engineering, the rest are basically thatched huts. In addition, there is a century-old ginkgo tree in the center of the village, which is luxuriant, and the name of the big tree village is also derived from this.

As soon as I ran to the door, I saw Wei standing by the door. His eyes were slightly open, and the loser stared at himself with both hands, and did not speak.

couldn't help but smile flatteringly: "Mother, the weather has cooled down this day, why are you standing here and not sitting in the house." ”

"You, where are you running crazy again, the sun is about to go down, and you haven't come back, what are you trying to do?" Webster Road

"Thinking about the fact that when I first came through, in order to understand this world, I relied on my young age to wander around", so I had to smile and didn't reply.

"Let's go into the house and eat, I'll be waiting for you," Wei said. turned around and walked into the house, and Li Hao hurriedly followed.

When he entered the house, his father Li Jian was already sitting at the table, and then saw two plates of boiled vegetables with some salt on the table, and two boiled eggs next to them, and the staple food was a nest made of miscellaneous grains. Hurriedly ran to wash his hands, sat down at the dinner table, and said, "What a good day today, even the eggs are willing to be boiled." ”

Wei rolled his eyes and just wanted to speak. Li Jian said in advance: "The tables and chairs made a few days ago and the embroidery made by your mother were sent to the county to be sold, and I got the money back today." So saying, he took two eggs, one on his son's side and the other on his daughter-in-law's side.

Wei looked at it, reached out and picked up the egg, peeled it and put it in Li Jian's bowl. "You eat, you have to work in the field tomorrow." Then he turned to Li Hao and said, "You can eat quickly, go to the room to get a book to read after eating, don't go outside all day long." With that, he picked up the bowl and began to eat.

Li Hao's father and son glanced at each other and began to move their chopsticks. After a meal, Wei put away the dishes and chopsticks and went to the kitchen to wash, while Li Jian went to the study of the main house.

The books in this study are still left by Li Hao's grandfather, the Wei family was originally regarded as a farming heirloom, and Li Hao's grandfather was also full of reading for many years, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't care about his health later, he spent all the money for the treatment of the disease, and sold the ancestral property, and he would not let his daughter be a concubine for others, so that the current family business was only purchased later.

When he entered the study, he took the Analects to the courtyard, found a chair and sat down, and turned it over. If you want to say that the traditional characters on this book, when I was in school, I also studied it, and my predecessor also learned to recognize words with Wei's, and I can read it after inheriting my memory.

Flipping through it, the thought drifted away. Thinking about the children's enlightenment books now, there are already thousand-character texts and hundreds of family names. But the three-character classic only appeared at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, and I was able to recite it in full, so wasn't it what I wrote later. Regardless of whether you can make money, this reputation alone is very good. I can only be sorry for Mr. Wang Yinglin, who made me earlier than him now. You have to pick a good time to write the three-character scripture!

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but laugh, and then a small pebble was thrown on his body, which startled Li Hao, jumped up and was about to get angry, when he looked up and saw Wei pursing his lips and staring at him fiercely, he suddenly felt that the air around him was condensed.

shivered, hurriedly smiled all over his face, and looked at Wei with low eyebrows and shrugging his shoulders. "Mother, why is this, I'm reading a book."

"yes, which one do you see now," Wei said coldly. "Now see the fourteenth constitutional question." Li Hao replied.

"In that case, then you can recite it, memorize it for me to listen to, if there is something wrong, this beating will be inevitable." Wei said.

At this time, Li Jian interjected: "Hao'er is still young, how can he write down so much, is it for him to be on his back, and he will ask again in a few days." ”

Wei glanced at Li Jian and said: "He is reading a book, he should concentrate on it, holding a book and pretending there, full of cranky thoughts, if he is not familiar with it, otherwise such behavior will be punished." Then he turned around and said to Li Hao: "Back, hurry up." I walked over and picked up the Analects, and turned to the constitutional chapter.

Li Jian had no choice but to make a helpless expression to Li Hao, as if saying that there was nothing he could do and let him take care of himself.

Li Hao closed his eyes and thought about it, and began to reverse: "Shame on the constitution." Zi said: "There is a way in the state, and there is a valley; Bang Wudao, Valley, shame also. "Restraint, felling, resentment, and desire can be benevolent?" Zi said: "You can be embarrassed, but I don't know if you are benevolent." Zi said: "It is not enough to be a scholar. ”... The original soil is degraded. Zi said: "Young but not grandchildren, long and unspoken, old but not dead, is a thief." "Knock him on the shin with his rod. The Que Party boy is dying. Or ask, "What is the beneficiary?" Zi said: "I see that he is in a position, and I see that he is parallel to Mr., not a profit-seeker, but also a person who wants to achieve speed." ”

After memorizing the whole article, he was full of confidence in the shaking head of the head, thinking that it was fortunate that the foundation was solid when he studied the Analects, and after a trip, his memory became much better, otherwise this punishment would not have been able to run away.

But how did things come about so easily, Wei wanted to punish him, since he wouldn't let him pass the test like this.
