Chapter 4: Ideals
Look at the lanterns, put the lanterns, and even make the lanterns, you can do the floating in the sky, you can also do the floating in the water, as for the lanterns hanging on the branches like nerds, it is favored by few people.
In addition to these, there is also the lantern gallery, there is a huge marquee, the lampshade is full of cursive characters, is the riddle of the article, many people gathered there, or pondering, or laughing, or dazed, or excited.
Guessing lantern riddles is also an important activity and is very popular with people. In particular, the Yu family's bold promise to get happy money after solving a problem is particularly inspiring.
Every year during the Flower Dynasty Festival, in addition to those young men from other places who want to see the ten beauties of the Yu family, there are also many scholars with real talents and real learning who come to the main city of the Yu family to solve the lantern riddles.
You know, the Yu family's lantern riddles are notoriously difficult, for the color of solving the lantern riddles, where will these characters see in their eyes, they are specially here to fight for the good reputation of that party, especially if the blind cat meets a dead mouse to one, that is really famous.
As a child of the Yu family, he naturally knows how strange those lantern riddles are, if he is not knowledgeable and talented, he can't even understand it, where can he solve it.
That is, those talents who are full of poetry and books can try their luck.
Yu Yanke and the others didn't look at the huge marquees, and went straight to the pleasing place.
"Is it happy money this year?"
Yu Fangxia grabbed a young man who looked to be the same age, who had just come out of the temple and was playing with something.
"It's a small statue of the god of flowers, only an inch high, but it smells extremely fragrant, I don't know what kind of wood it is carved from. The young man showed the little knack in his hand to the people.
"This gadget smells extremely fragrant, this wood ......" Yu Ning sniffed it and said uncertainly: "Tianxiang wood?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, Tianxiangmu?
That thing is a genuine Tianzi No. 1 precious wood, not only has a strong texture, but also has a strange fragrance and can prevent insect damage.
It seems that this small statue seems to be ordinary, but if it is carved from Tianxiang wood, it is really valuable.
The question is, does the family really have such a big hand, but it's a pleasing little thing that uses such precious wood?
"Let's go check it out. ”
Seeing the young man walking away, Yu Ning said to everyone: "After all, it belongs to someone else, it's not good to study carefully, let's go get one to play." When the time comes, we will know. So he walked first to the temple of flowers, and the people followed.
After a while, the group walked out, their faces excited.
"It's really heavenly fragrant wood!"
Yu Ning fiddled with his small object, and sniffed it from time to time, looking intoxicated.
"It's worth it! The last time I saw Tianxiangmu was my father's goods brought back from the east. You know, although this thing is precious, it is also squeamish, and it can't be sustained anywhere else except the eastern part of the empire!"
"This thing, don't look so small, you can buy several copper plates outside. This is still such a gadget to play with, if it is the kind of whole log that is used to make wood, then it can be bought by catties, and one catty is a hundred taels of white silver!"
"This thing is really expensive, I really don't know how the clan will use it to play, is it really rich in the past few years?"
Yu Ning said solemnly, and there was an inexplicable smell of copper on his body.
"Well, you're just like your father, a natural trader. The smell is really smoky. Yu Fangxia deliberately pinched his nose and said angrily.
Yu Ning rarely ignored him, and there was only a small statue of fragrant wood in his eyes.
"Let's go, go put the lanterns?" Huang Fu'er said.
"Why don't you make lanterns!" Yu Wenying suddenly said softly: "I really want to make my own." Okay, everybody?"
Everyone was about to leave, and when they heard this, their bodies stiffened, and some couldn't resist this sudden coquettishness.
suddenly remembered that there was a beautiful woman in the team, looking at the people in front of him, and immediately, several people had a bad premonition.
"Don't be like that, let's talk normally. Yu Yanke said solemnly.
Yu Wenying glanced at him and said with a smile: "Okay, then you don't want to go." ”
"Let's go, who's afraid of whom. Yu Ning said in a rough voice. Yu Wenying smiled, pulled another girl, took the lead, and walked away happily.
The boys stood still and thought about it, but followed.
How attractive are the top 10 beauties?
The previous few friends were not very clear today, but tonight, the girl who ranked fourth in the top ten beauties joined their small team, especially made them remember.
Not to mention that I don't know how many salty pig hands were quietly sent away by the girls around Yu Wenying along the way, even for a few teenagers, it was also a bit smashed, and the flow of people around his group was obviously twice as much as in other places, which is no problem?
At the moment, looking at the still somewhat green back in front of them, several people even changed their eyes.
This Nizi, is it really the spicy sister who didn't look outstanding at all a few years ago? Yu Yanke is really a little skeptical, just a few years, didn't this Nizi take some kind of panacea, a treasure of heaven and earth?
Now has such a charm, if in a few years, she will really be smart, and the threshold of the entire Yu family must not be broken?
"Red face and trouble!" Yu Fangxia muttered: "With this beautiful violent maniac, we can't live in peace tonight, we can't say that we have offended a large number of people invisibly, and we have to go to the school palace tomorrow, don't be blocked, this little arm and leg of the young master can't stand the toss." ”
Four people, you look at me, I look at you, I'm sure I won't have fun tonight, and I'm embarrassed to leave directly, after all, a big beauty is in front of you, even if you don't have that idea, you can't lose your demeanor.
"Let's go, just play with her for a night, tonight is over, I don't know when I'll see you, and when we meet again, this Nizi really can't climb high. Huang Fu'er pondered for a while, and made up his mind to everyone.
Several people shook their heads with wry smiles and continued to follow.
The security of the Yu family is still very good, and everyone is having a good time, of course, they don't care about the sour eyes around them.
Other than that, there was no word for the night.
Early the next morning, Yu Yanke woke up, and the sound of his mother's busy voice had already sounded at home. After breakfast, Yu Yanke packed up his homework and went to the school palace with the small backpack his mother sewn for him.
The descendants of the Yu clan all live in Pingyang City, which is the capital of the entire Xiping County and the main city of the Yu clan, covering an area of nearly 5,000 li.
The school palace occupies an entire eastern area in Binh Duong City, and the scale of the building is the largest among all the institutions of the Yu family, which shows that the Yu family attaches great importance to the education of the younger generation.
The gentleman of the school palace has always arrived very early.
When Yu Yanke saw the middle-aged Confucian sitting on the side of the bookcase, he was not surprised, there were not many people in the school, Yu Yanke sat in his place, took out his homework, and looked at it carefully.
After a short time, all the seats were full, and the students were reading quietly, not daring to talk to each other.
"Everyone is here, right?"
The mellow voice of the middle-aged Confucian student made people never get tired of hearing it, and he stood up with the bookcase.
Yu Yanke noticed that he was slightly tired between his eyebrows, and a small surprise rose in his heart, and then he was pressed down.
Today, let's not lecture, we don't chant, let's talk about ideals, talk about the past, we are all in kindergarten, and even some yellow-mouthed children, yellow hair drooping, it's really a good time, but I, sir, also have to let you understand where your future road is. ”
The middle-aged Confucian said: "Although you have to stay in the school palace until the age of the weak crown, generally speaking, at your age, you should know what kind of path you should take in the future." Whether it's a temple, a river and a lake, a pawn, or a peddler, you need to know what you're suitable for and what you should do, and that's today's schoolwork. ”
"Sir, we are destined to embark on the path of cultivation, so why do we have to think about this?" a young girl asked in confusion as she got up.
"Cultivation path?"
The middle-aged Confucian shook his head and smiled: "Do you really think that this road is easy to walk? ordinary people who do not enter the stream can also practice martial arts the day after tomorrow, if you want to really enter the house, you must also have that opportunity and talent, in this world, the most lacking is martial arts, and the most lacking is also martial arts." ”
The teenagers didn't expect that on the first day of the festival, Mr. gave them a slap in the face. So, they began to assume what they should do when they couldn't really set foot on the martial arts.
But Yu Yanke was unmoved, he would not make such ridiculous assumptions.
In his heart, he had already had his own way, from the moment he knew the news of his father's death in battle, the young man who stood on the mourning hall for the first time looked at the white silk hanging on the beam and said to himself, either become a strong man and take revenge, or die on the way to become a strong man.
It is impossible for him to live in peace of mind in such a situation.
Not only because of his father, but also because of his mother. He still vividly remembered his mother's desperate look when she heard the bad news, although she had always been strong.
The woman, who had always been strong, did not shed a single tear, but sat in a daze before his father's spirit without eating or drinking, for five whole days, until she passed out.
When she woke up again, the woman changed, and on the day of the funeral, she watched her husband's ashes sink into the ground with a blank face, and never went to that place again.
The neighborhood is saying that the woman named Li Xiangrong is ruthless and unrighteous, but Yu Yanke knows that his mother is the greatest woman in the world.
He's going to be strong.
This thought has become stronger and stronger over the years, not only to take revenge, but also to protect his mother, the woman who has been strong for himself for a long time.
Or, it was the admiration for the immortal deeds of the Wang Sword Immortal after his horizons were broadened, in short, Yu Yanke knew very well what he wanted.
Even, he is usually active and enthusiastic, and he didn't even say much during the morning school time. He just listened to the voices of the young boys, thinking about what he wanted.
The middle-aged Confucian student, Mr. Meng Xue, named Yu Lewen, noticed Yu Yanke from the beginning, but saw that he didn't say a word, just listened carefully to what others said.
Yu Lewen thought that he understood the thoughts of this little boy, and couldn't help laughing at himself, sure enough, he had been smoothed out by the years, and he lost that fighting spirit.
And perhaps, this kid can really go far in the martial arts? This world, after all, is theirs.
Thinking about it, he laughed in his heart, laughed up, and saw that Yu Yanke still didn't say a word, and said in his heart: That's right, what does his own Tao have to do with others?
