In April, the summer was empty. The house is green and heavy, and you can write poems. In April, the flowers are in full bloom. The breeze goes straight in, and the birds don't guess.

This is a poem written by the young wife of Wen Taiqing in the early Ming Dynasty, which vividly describes the protagonist's comfortable lifestyle in the beginning of summer, with the doors and windows wide open.

The reason why Wu Yong thinks of these poems is that his current state is very similar to the owner of the poem, who is idle at home and reads poetry diligently.

Within a few days of the building of the house, Wu Yong's family moved into the newly built residence next to it.

At this time, the building materials are all natural, there is no formaldehyde at all, and there is no need to wait for half a year to move in after the decoration is completed like later generations.

Nowadays, new houses are built, choose a good day and an auspicious day, and the whole family can move in and move in. As for the furniture, the Wu family began to prepare half a month ago, and all the room furniture was made of elm wood by asking carpenters.

Elm is hard, straight and rough and bold and simple natural color, all in line with the concept of life advocated by the ancients, so from ancient times to the present, elm is very popular, up to the princes and nobles, down to the common people, the first choice for making furniture.

Because her grandmother was old, when she sat on the bench, she always had to find a place against the wall, so Wu Yong asked the carpenter to make some circle chairs.

The most obvious feature of the circle chair is that the circle back is connected to the armrest, which goes down from high to low, and can make people's arms lean on the circle-shaped armrest when sitting and leaning, which feels very comfortable and is quite popular with later generations.

Wu Yong didn't expect that as soon as this circle of chairs was made, it was immediately sought after by the villagers in Fuwangli, and every household began to follow suit to make this circle of chairs, and even Zhuo Wenxuan specially gave it an elegant name, called Yiyang Chair, which is said to have the meaning of raising for a long time.

Wu Yong has become accustomed to this, and every time he makes something, the villagers will follow suit.

However, this was not without his benefits, and after the publicity of the villagers, the story of him making a nursing chair for his grandmother spread throughout the village.

For this reason, the third elder of the township, Youdegong, also came to the door in person, and praised him fiercely in front of many villagers.

"You are very good, worthy of being a descendant of my Wu family, and in a few days I will make a suggestion to the court to commend you as a 'filial piety'." In fact, Wu Yong didn't take it to heart, the same thing, Taishou Chen Qiu had already said it once, and he was quite looking forward to it at the time, but after so much time, there was no movement at all, so he went with the flow.

Nowadays, there is no official name for the inspection system implemented by the imperial court to elect officials, some are called filial piety, some are called Mao Caiyi, etc., and some are called virtuous and square, and of course there are also those called filial piety and Litian.

"Filial piety" is filial piety to parents, "悌" is to respect brothers, and "Litian" is diligent farming. The Han Dynasty emphasized filial piety, and stipulated that the three elders were placed at the household registration rate, and there was basically only one 'filial piety' in 10,000 households.

If a person is recommended as 'filial piety', he is basically stepping into officialdom with half a foot, not only can he be exempted from servitude, but the state will also reward him with goods on major festivals.

It stands to reason that with the recommendation of Nanyang Taishou Chen Qiu, his identity as a filial piety should have been approved by the imperial court a long time ago, but I don't know what the reason is, there has been no movement for a long time.

Wu Yong didn't care, but his mother Guo and grandmother Ren were very happy, and they said: "Wu Yong, this child has filial piety, and when he saw that I was old, he thought of making a nursing chair." Wu Yong didn't dare to see people easily, so he could only hide in the study every day to read and practice calligraphy, but he also ended up quiet.

A few days ago, he took advantage of the time when the project was almost completed, and transplanted a lot of flowers and plants from the wild to decorate the small courtyard. At this time, the breeze came slowly, and the fragrance of flowers entered his nose, so that he who was sitting on the circle chair couldn't help but stretch his waist.

At this time, crickets and frogs began to chirp, and Wu Yong walked out of the study and heard the chirping of young birds.

He looked up and saw a bird in the sycamore tree nurturing its offspring. The plane tree was supposed to be cut down according to the plan for the house, but his grandmother insisted on staying to avoid being cut down.

As the saying goes, if there is a plane tree at home, there is a phoenix to perch on. It seems that this plane tree is quite popular with birds, a small tree, there are three bird nests, and Wu Yong often sees these birds fighting.

In particular, there is a pair of colorful birds, occupying the nest at the highest point of the plane tree, smaller than a sparrow, but daring to fight with magpies in the air without falling into the wind.

Wu Yong was curious about them, even if he had seen a lot of animal worlds in his later life, he didn't know what kind of bird it was, and then asked the well-informed Zhuo Wenxuan, who still didn't know what kind of bird it was.

He was no longer entangled, and occasionally had leisure time, scattering some grain in the yard, lying on the circle chair, and leisurely watching the birds peck.

"Is Wu Yong at home? I'll bring you some sapperfish. At this moment, Zhu Wang's shout came from outside the gate, and the birds on the ground flew away in fright.

Wu Yong walked quickly to the door, and sure enough, he saw Zhu Wang carrying a few fish in his hands, and after a closer look, these fish had golden scales and bright red fins and tails, like carps, and couldn't help pouting: "Isn't this a carp?" What kind of sachovy do you say! It's clearly nonsense. Wu Yong is also a few days to hear about the fish, it is rumored that the Ming Emperor named his cousin Yin Qing as the Yang Hou, Yin Qing will be the special product of the Yang City, boiled fish and garlic to pay tribute to the Ming Emperor, after the Ming Emperor eats, it is spicy and spicy, delicious and delicious.

At this point, the fame of the mackerel has become famous, and many powerful and gentry have rushed to buy it.

"I don't have to say anything, this catfish is a tribute to the royal family, although the appearance is somewhat similar to carp, but the meat is much more delicate and delicious than carp." Zhu Wang was a little anxious, he didn't want Wu Yong to look down on him.

"I'm joking with you, you take it seriously!" Wu Yong laughed, then pointed at Zhu Wang and said: "You are really interesting, your Qiao Niang is just learning silkworm raising with my mother during the day, and you come to my house every day with things, for fear that your Qiao Niang will run away with someone." Zhu Wang's face suddenly turned red, and he immediately argued: "How can I have it!" Today I went to a banquet for other families, and I happened to see them fishing for brefish, so I bought some of them. This is what my mother insisted on me to send to your house, not my own willingness. Wu Yong wanted to tease him a few words, but he heard Liu Qiaoniang's voice behind him,

"Ngawang, how did you come? Didn't you go and make a feast for others today? Zhu Wang glanced at her, then quickly lowered his head, and said resignedly: "The banquet in that house is relatively simple, I went with Wu Pu and them today, and I saw that there was nothing to do, so I came back early." ”

"As you know, before leaving today, my father specially asked me to come back early, and there are still many fields that have not been sown."

"On the way back, I saw someone catching a fish, and I knew you like fish, so I bought a few of them. When my mother saw it, she asked me to send two to Wu Yong's family, saying that I wanted to thank his mother for teaching you to raise silkworms. He said as he observed Liu Qiaoniang's expression.

Seeing that she didn't show displeasure, he breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, Zhu Wang himself also felt a little stunned, since Liu Qiaoniang came to learn silkworm raising from Wu Yong's mother, some people often joked with him: "Zhu Wang, how dare you let your Qiaoniang go to Wu Yong's house, aren't you afraid that she will fall in love with Wu Yong and leave you?" This led to Liu Qiaoniang every time she came to Wu Yong's house, Zhu Wang waited in fear, and had no heart to do anything at all, for fear that other people's prophecies would come true, and Liu Qiaoniang would not follow him.

If Wu Yong knew what he was thinking, he would definitely scold him to the death. Let's not talk about Wu Yong's age, let's just say that Liu Qiaoniang's appearance is not worse than He Lian, not to mention that He Lian was born in a family of poetry and books, and has followed Guo's to learn female workers since she was a child, not to mention proficient in poetry and books, but also more skilled than Liu Qiaoniang in terms of female workers.

Even if Wu Yong is stupid again, it is impossible to choose Liu Qiaoniang! Here Guo followed Liu Qiaoniang out of the silkworm room, and when he heard the mackerel, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he said to Zhu Wang with a smile: "It's really hard for you to have a heart, I still want to ask someone to buy some saperus with seeds to come back to make mackerel sauce these days." If you don't think about it, you will send it, thank you for me, Auntie, the sauce will be ready another day, and I will ask Wu Yong to send some to your house to taste. Zhu Wang hurriedly patted his chest and promised: "Uncle and aunt, don't worry, the tunfish I bought today are all with seeds, and I told them when I bought them, this catfish with seeds is more expensive than the price of ordinary catfish." Guo smiled,

"Today's work in the silkworm room is over, and I still want Wu Yong to send Qiao Niang back. Since you're here, take Qiao Niang back. Zhu Wang was overjoyed and led Liu Qiaoniang to rush home.

On the way, the more Liu Qiaoniang thought about Zhu Wang's behavior these days, the more she felt that something was wrong, so she stopped and asked with a straight face: "Ah Wang, are you hiding something from me?" ”

"Ah Qiao, you don't know me yet, I don't dare to hide anything from you!" Zhu Wang hurriedly smiled.

"My gut tells me that you're hiding something from me, do you want to say it? If you don't say it, I won't go home with me today and stay at Wu Yong's house. Liu Qiaoniang said, and deliberately turned around and took a few steps in the direction of Wu Yong's house.

This frightened Zhu Wang, and he hurriedly shouted: "Ah Qiao, don't you do this, I said, can't you do it yet!" As he spoke, he wept and told what he had been worried about lately.

Liu Qiaoniang listened to it, she was really angry and laughed at his idea, and at the same time she was a little happy and moved in her heart, she didn't expect this Zhu Wang to care about her so much.

So he took Zhu Wang's hand and said softly: "Don't think like this in the future, let's not say whether Wu Yong looks at me or not, even if he is really blind to me, I can't leave you." I still know how many pounds and taels I have. Then she sighed and said, "The reason why I went to learn silkworm raising from my uncle is actually for our future plans." Presumably you also know that since Wu Yong returned to normal, all kinds of skills have emerged in an endless stream, not to mention that he will be the marquis and worship the prime minister in the future, just say that he is now, Taishou will invite him to the mansion as a guest, not to mention that the head of the family with the fifth surname is impressed by him. Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhu Wang and continued: "That is, now, we can still talk to him, and in two years, he will make a fortune, we are just begging others, and he may not have time to deal with us." I just thought that I would take advantage of the present to have a good relationship with his mother, and maybe in the future, he would be able to help our family when he is developed. Zhu Wang was a little moved when he heard this, held Liu Qiaoniang's hands tightly, and swore to the sky: "Ah Qiao, I swear that I will live up to you in the future, if you violate this oath, heaven and earth will not tolerate it." ”
