Chapter 21: Mother

"That's a legend." Li Fuzi glanced at Liang Xiu and explained: "It is said that when the cultivation reaches a certain level, the heavens and the earth will respond, and there is a name, called "Words and Laws", and I don't know whether it is true or false. ”

"I urgently need to do some exercises!" Chen Fan's heart was hot.

"What's behind that day's official object?" Feng Can asked beside him.

"Don't be too ambitious, wait until you have a chance to learn the Heavenly Officials' intentions, and then think about what is behind." Li Fuzi didn't continue to answer, maybe the questioner didn't have enough weight, or maybe he probably felt that he talked a little too much today, and it was not a good thing to make these people think about it.

"Thank you, Master." Chen Fan saw that Li Fuzi was unwilling to say more, so he immediately thanked him. As for the specific way to cultivate, it has to be inherited, but fortunately, I know the way to cultivate spiritual power, a bit like a martial arts novel that Chen Fan read before, cultivating the six divine powers in the Tianyantong, Tianertong and the like, which can be regarded as having a preliminary understanding of the spiritual power cultivation method.

Everyone chatted for a while, Chen Fan took the time early, and also copied a copy of "Nineteen Roads" for Ma Bo, to Li Fuzi, Chen Fan decided to use silk to copy another day, he also wanted to save face. As for Chen Fan, Gong Qing and Feng Can's Go, Gong Qing inadvertently messed up the chess game under the pretext that he couldn't play. As for who messed up, Gong Qing and Feng Can must be clear.

Everyone had eaten, played again, and dispersed. Before Chen Fan left, he paid his tea money and Ma Bo's expenses, which was regarded as an investment to help him promote the Nineteen Roads Theory, and there was no reason to make people work and not give people benefits.

In fact, there is not much money, only one hundred and twenty in total, but it provoked Ma Bo and Liang Xiu to greet and express their gratitude. Later, Li Fuzi also came over to humbly and wanted to return the money, but Chen Fan refused. Of course, I have to say beautiful things, I am happy to know them today, let's make friends, don't push around and stuff, in this regard, Chen Fan will still be a man.

After Chen Fan went back, he still worked hard as usual, he didn't dare to delay the time at all, and it was always good to learn more. Ah Qing in front of the opposite window now reads books at night. Sometimes Chen Fan thinks, I don't know what content is being seen on the other side, is it internal strength? And after so many days, Chen Fan also saw Huang Shi, a man about forty years old, who often came and went in Aqing's house, with a somewhat melancholy expression, taciturn, and a look of rejection, every time he saw Chen Fan, he nodded at most, and sometimes simply turned a blind eye. Chen Fan did the same, but with a smile on his face, he nodded, and didn't say much to him.

The next day, Chen Fan finished breakfast, punched for a while, and went to greet his mother. As usual, my mother was taking care of the family chores in the hall.

"Mother, I've seen Mother."

"My son is here, sit."

"Mother Xie. Is Grandma free today? I want to hear the story of my grandmother when she was a child. ”

"Why are you interested in what happened when I was a kid today?"

"I think Master Jia will come to pick me up and go to Gusu in two days, if I really go to school in Gusu, then I won't see my mother for a while, and I want to know more about my mother."

"Okay, then I'll tell you about my childhood today. I was born in Wuxing Shen, which is also one of the best families in the south, in addition to my parents, there are two older brothers and a younger sister in the family, your grandfather was a general, I was still young at that time, I wanted to learn boys to dance knives and guns, and lead soldiers to fight, and now I think about it and feel funny. Your grandfather didn't care at the time, he used to look at me and shake his head and sigh, saying that this baby should be a boy. Once I took a picture of your grandfather's desk and looked at it, and guess what, your grandfather was not angry, and he had someone draw another picture for me, which I still treasure to this day. ”

Yutu, isn't it a map, but you can know the geography of this world, but I didn't expect my mother to have this good thing. Chen Fan suddenly felt happy in his heart and said, "Mother, can you show me?" ”

"Of course, it's in my room, you can come and see." After speaking, her mother got up and led Chen Fan to the wing room next to the main hall. Mother took out a silk silk from the cupboard, put it on the desk and unfolded it, "You see, this is where I lived when I was a child, this is where we live now, this is Jiankang, the current capital." Mother said, pointing to the map.

Chen Fan found that the geographical location shown on the map is not much different from the terrain of China, because it marks a river called the Yangtze River, and the capital Jiankang, which is now Nanjing, is exactly where Chen Fan was born and grew up in modern times. With this, it also increased Chen Fan's doubts, could it be that cultivating immortals is fake, and he has traveled to ancient China?

"Grandfather is so nice, he must love you very much."

"Your grandfather is good to every child,......, later, your two uncles and your grandfather arrived in Jiankang, your grandfather served as the general of the left guard, from the second grade, but unfortunately died four years ago, your two uncles are still serving in Jiankang, to often exchange letters, now they are all official residence four products, you can visit in the future."

"Okay, Auntie. By the way, Auntie, do you have blank silk fibroin? I wrote an article called "Nineteen Roads", Li Fuzi wanted one to hang in their teahouse, and I wanted to copy one to my father, so that my father could also help promote it, and at the same time I wanted to ask my father to find someone to make some nineteen-way chessboards, the chessboard cost does not need to be expensive, the cheap kind is OK, and it is given to ordinary people, and promote the spread of Nineteen Roads Go to the county and capital. ”

"It's a good idea to change the seventeenth way of Go to the nineteenth way, and when your father comes back in the evening, you can carefully discuss how to promote it. Blank silk is not a problem, we have this in our family. After speaking, the mother took a few pieces of silk to Chen Fan.

"Mother, there is one more thing, if I want to go to Gusu to learn the Tao, Mother may send a competent person to accompany me? The main thing is security. ”

"What do you think of Hou Feng? When your grandfather was alive, he was afraid that my father and I would run around and the road would not be safe, so I chose four people from the Shen family's trilogy to me, Hou Feng is relatively speaking, his martial arts are not bad, let him follow you. ”

"Okay, thank you Grandma. Can I borrow a kitchen? ”

"What are you going to do in the kitchen?"

"When I'm away from home, some survival skills are still necessary, and I want to learn how to make tea on a fire, just in case one day in the wild, I won't even have a fire, wouldn't it be bad."

"It's okay, after lunch in the afternoon, you can borrow it from the cook."

"Okay, thank you Grandma."

"Is there anything else to do with my son? I'm going to be busy, and there's a lot going on in the house. ”

"Mother is busy, the child will leave first."

Chen Fan said goodbye to his mother, happily took the silk and returned to his room, and began to copy "The Nineteen Roads". After copying it, one was given to Li Fuzi by Ah Chun, and the other was prepared to be given to his father at night, just in time to report to his father the idea of writing "Nineteen Roads".

After eating at noon, it is estimated that the cook is still cleaning up the tableware, but she is not in a hurry to go, but picks up the piano score on the bookshelf and copies it, after all, the original owner can play the guqin, and he doesn't know whether it is possible or not. Chen Fan didn't plan to start playing the piano immediately, firstly, he had more things to do today, and in the morning, he borrowed the kitchen from his mother in the name of learning to make fire, but in fact, he wanted to make preserved eggs, and the estimated time was also tight; Second, I don't know the level of the original owner's piano skills, but now Chen Fan is a white ding, he must be a mess, if you want to play the piano, it is best to be outside for the first time, so that you can have a familiar link. Chen Fan is still a little looking forward to playing the piano, mainly because Chen Fan thinks that the body left by the original owner has slender fingers, which is still suitable for playing the guqin.

After copying it and mapping it with "Chengying", Chen Fan estimated that the time was about the same, got up and went to the kitchen, and the cook was already waiting.

"Lang Jun is here."

"Well, do you have flint, tea, and salt?"

"Yes, I heard that Lang Jun wants to learn how to make tea, and I have prepared it for Lang Jun."

"Okay, I still have forty duck eggs here, you can prepare another empty jar for me, and I'm going to marinate them." The duck eggs were bought by Chen Fan personally on the street, four for one penny, and forty for both, and he inquired about the salted duck egg market, which was one penny, and the price was reasonable, after all, salt and labor have a cost, which is good for the future preserved egg pricing to have an estimate.

"Okay, there is a ready-made one in the empty altar, I'll go get it."

"Okay, thank you." People like Chen Fan, in this era, pickled things are common, such as duck eggs, pickles, etc., are generally made at home to save money. After eating, the jar is empty, and I will save it for next time. Chen Fan was also ready to buy it on the street in case he didn't have it.

Chen Fan didn't wait for the cook to come back, so he started his own work, which can be regarded as experiencing the difficulty of burning firewood in this era. Boiling is very plant ash, this link, Chen Fan was busy for half an hour, and finally came out of alkaline water. It's not that I'm afraid of technical leaks, but I want to know everything and experience life by myself. In this era, there are many plant ashes, and what is burned is firewood, and the ashes produced are put into the water, but when Chen Fan put it, he didn't show it to the aunt in the kitchen. After boiling, Chen Fan poured the alkaline water into the jar to cool, and then boiled the tea, it was much faster, the tea was salted, put it in the water, after the tea was boiled, directly extinguished the fire in the stove, let the tea cool in the iron pot on the stove, and then poured into the jar, stirred evenly, and put in the duck eggs. After making it and sealing it, it was placed in the ear room, and it was not a valuable thing anyway, but in order not to be confused with other jars, Chen Fan still pasted a seal on the altar, and wrote Chen Fa to survive.

In the evening, everyone ate together, and his father was also rarely present, and after eating, Chen Fan took the initiative to call his father.

"Father, is there anything going on at night? How about we talk about a game? ”

"Okay, I said I was playing against you last time, but I forgot about it, and I happened to be free today, so I'm in the study."
