Chapter 117
Chapter 117
"If there is only half a bucket of water left in the house, some people think that others will carry the water, while others will carry the water themselves." Liu Yaoqing said, "It seems that there is no difference, but people who carry water every day will not If you have complaints, will you be willing to work more for your whole life? People who carry water by themselves will never consider the trivial matter of carrying water. This kind of people will either live in harmony, or...will gradually get rich..."
"Of course, there are no absolutes in the world." Liu Yaoqing said, "Everyone, think about it when you go back, are you willing to be people who carry water all your life, serving people who are obviously like you but never carry water? Or is it another kind of person? "
Liang Songzi didn't dare to say such words, and even He Shuo didn't dare to say them, and the scholars present couldn't open their mouths.
Because things seem small, but they imply a huge meaning.As small as the big family in the village, as large as the aristocratic family living in the capital, and even the royal family, they are all defending a family to move forward. Dirty and unfairness exist in it, but they can only be ignored.
Just like the old man Liu, he wanted to keep his family harmonious all his life, and satisfy his own selfishness; just like the emperor, even if he knew that his sons would inevitably go to the road of fighting in the future, he still enjoyed the supreme and silent position, and at the same time let The sons and daughters are harmonious on the surface.
However, what Liu Yaoqing said can be big or small, especially because he has a different status now, it can be said that only he can say it, and only he has the confidence to talk about it casually, which is just a random trivial matter.
But those who have listened to the class are like a very weak fire spreading in their hearts, which may be extinguished at any time, and may burn into a raging fire after many years, and achieve a wonderful life.
"I was thinking of Brother Xuan." After class, someone said while walking outside, "Brother Xuan's natal family has done such absurd things, everyone knows. Now it is right for Brother Xuan not to have any contact with her natal family. If I go back to subsidize From my natal family, I'm afraid that Brother Xuan and Liu Shuihe won't have a penny left of the money they earned."
"No, I heard that someone came from Brother Xuan's natal family a few years ago, but he let Brother Xuan know before entering the village, and blocked him outside the village. Then Brother Xuan's mother insisted on raising Brother Xuan, I want Brother Xuan to pay back the money."
"Brother Xuan gave it?"
"No, but brother Xuan said that if his mother can't support him in the future, he will give him food and drink. Anyway, he won't give his mother money to subsidize his younger brother now."
"Done right."
Brother Xuan has a bad temper, but he has a good relationship with Liu Shuihe at home, even though they have been married for a few years and have no children, it is said that Brother Xuan has suffered in his mother's house, and his body has not grown well.
Liu Yaoqing gave Brother Xuan some peach brew in private, and he should have some effect of strengthening his body after drinking it.
Now Liu Yaoqing herself doesn't feel like kicking something on her body, but sometimes she feels sick, but sometimes her appetite is particularly good, and the taste is still very strange.
"Brother Xing is going to the county to take the county examination, and I am going to go too." Liu Yaoqing said.
"Success." Brother Zhezi nodded.
"Huh? I thought brother Zhezi would not agree." Liu Yaoqing was surprised,
"I don't disagree." Brother Zhezi pursed his lips.
Things on the mountain are carried out step by step, and the winemaking workshop has not yet opened, Su Da to Su Qi are scattered by Liu Yaoqing, and they are each in charge of a place, which can be regarded as serious management.Han Da is still on the mountain, and the family accounts are replaced by Brother Shui from Uncle Liu's family, and Brother Yu, each of them has an account book, as long as they can match up, it is basically fine.
After making the arrangements, Liu Yaoqing gave He Shuo two more cans of Immortal Wine.
Brother Zhezi pulled out a brand-new carriage built before the year, and the fancy horse that Gao Fugui bought for him, which looked exactly the same as the horse that Gao Fugui pulled the cart.The carriage is covered with soft bedding and animal skins, and there are spares. On both sides, there are wooden cabinets custom-made by Brother Zhezi, which are filled with Liu Yaoqing's favorite food, and there are small pots and small stoves.
The carriage looks plain and unpretentious from the outside, but it can be said that it has all internal organs inside.
"Brother Zhezi, we are just going out, not moving house." Liu Yaoqing said helplessly.
"You have to work hard, everything on our mountain is good." Brother Zhezi said, "The things outside are not as good as those on the mountain."
There is a carriage at the back, which belongs to Brother Xing, and the driver is Liu Santiao. During the days when he is out, there is an extra allowance for wages. Many men on the mountain compete for this job, and finally Liu Santiao stands out.
When they were about to go out, the idle people at the foot of the mountain came out to look around, and they saw Mrs. Li coming out in a hurry, holding a bundle and handing it to brother Zhezi, and took out two small wooden figures, and said in a low voice: "This is what I asked His father carved it, you and Qing brother each have one."
It is an old custom in Shanggu Village that the elders carve the villains themselves, using mahogany or jade, and the younger generations can get the blessings of the elders by taking them with them when they go out.Liu Quanjin didn't even think of doing it at all, it was Li who picked out the peach wood himself, and told Liu Quanjin not to sleep at night to carve it.
The villain is a bit rough, and you can vaguely see the appearance of Liu Yaoqing and Zhezi. There are red strings hanging on them, which can be worn on the body.
Brother Zhezi took it over solemnly and said, "Got it."
The spectators couldn't hear what Mrs. Li said, but it didn't prevent them from joking, so they shouted loudly: "The third family, what are you talking about. Why don't you tell Brother Xing that the scholars are going out to test for fame."
"Brother Qing has already said that it's fine for Brother Xing to pass the exam or not. Anyway, the family doesn't expect him to make a lot of money." Mrs. Li pursed her lips and said, "What are you all looking at, waiting for my family to distribute dumplings? ah."
"It's not Chinese New Year, where did the dumplings come from?"
While talking, everyone watched the carriage slowly leave. Brother Xing poked his head out of the carriage behind and waved at everyone.
Liu Quanjin was the only one in the family who was facing a formidable enemy, as if Brother Xing met such a good teacher and studied every day, so he must be a scholar, and he was the only one who told Brother Xing about this.
When the carriage entered the village, Liu Yaoqing glanced outside, as if he caught a glimpse of Xiaobao running past like a mountain of meat, he retreated back and leaned against Brother Zhezi, and said, "I'm afraid the county test will be very difficult."
"En." Brother Zhezi nodded, "It's not easy to pass the exam."
The carriage rattled to the town and took a short rest. Liu Yaoqing didn't get out of the carriage and fell asleep in it. When she woke up again, the carriage continued to move forward.
Brother Zhezi went down for a trip, and came back and said, "Not at the private school."
"I guess I'm gone." Liu Yaoqing nodded, "Otherwise we would have caused earth-shattering disturbances in the village, and it would be strange if my second uncle didn't come back to the village. But the uncle can still come to the town to get money, and I don't know who to get it from." Come."
"Do you want to check?" Brother Zhezi asked.
Liu Yaoqing shook her head, "No need now, let nature take its course. In case there is something we don't know, what should we do if we startle the snake."
This time was completely different than when I came back to the county.
Zhao Feiteng had received the letter a long time ago, and he was nestled at home, so he dared not come out again.County magistrate Du sent people to wait at the gate of the city early, and when he saw Liu Yaoqing, he led them to a house not far from the county government on the same street.
"A good place." Liu Yaoqing turned around a little, and saw that the flowers and plants in the yard were carefully taken care of, and the furniture in the house seemed ordinary, but they were not ordinary things. I knew that County Magistrate Du had put a lot of thought into it.
Now Brother Zhezi has confessed his identity to himself. Although Liu Yaoqing didn't let him announce it, he knows what he should know, especially County Magistrate Du has been in Shangnan County for so many years. Helping to bring things to the capital, the relationship between everyone has long been extraordinary.
County magistrate Du didn't feel Liu Yaoqing's attitude, so he said calmly: "Don't worry about this place."
"I know, I know." Liu Yaoqing signaled to brother Zhezi.
Brother Zhezi took out the palm-sized jars of Shenxian Niang and Taoer Niang, and County Magistrate Du did not refuse.
The house is really nice, but in terms of convenience, it is still not as good as on the mountain.The kang was already burning hot, Brother Zhezi took the quilt from the carriage and spread it, Liu Yaoqing climbed up and lay down comfortably.
"Soak your feet before resting." Brother Zhezi brought hot water again.
"Brother Zhezi together." Liu Yaoqing sat up and said.
We had dinner together at night, but County Magistrate Du didn't come, but he brought a lot of fresh vegetables.Liu Yaoqing said: "Brother Xing, don't feel pressured, we don't have to pass the exam to live, we just do our best."
"Well, I know." Brother Xing nodded, "The teacher said that I am not as good as those gentlemen on our mountain, but if I can study sincerely, it is not difficult to be a scholar. Brother Qing, don't worry about me, what should I do? .”
Now, although Brother Xing has never been out and about, his horizons have broadened a lot. He often listens to He Shuo's lectures, and has seen that group of very knowledgeable scholars discussing knowledge. You don't have to study hard.
Seeing Brother Xing like this, Liu Yaoqing felt relieved.
After eating, go back to the kang to rest, the bedding is all useful for oneself, but the room is different.Staring at the dark room, Liu Yaoqing turned around and touched Brother Zhezi, grabbed his hand and said, "I forgot to ask the doctor, can we..."
Brother Zhezi froze, and said with restraint, "I can't do it in the first three months."
"So Brother Zhezi asked." Liu Yaoqing lowered her voice...
Although it was a strange place, there were people around me who were so familiar that they couldn't be more familiar, Liu Yaoqing slept soundly.
Woke up early in the morning, Brother Xing had already eaten and was studying, Liu Yaoqing did not disturb, and had dinner with Brother Zhezi.After a while, a man with a strong body and sharp eyes came in and said, "Master, there is someone outside who claims that Cheng Da wants to visit the master."
"Let them in." Liu Yaoqing said.
The people who came were the grandma's family, grandma, Cheng Da, and a few young men who were getting more and more aggressive, and the younger brother came in, after seeing Liu Yaoqing, their faces couldn't hide their excitement.
Back then, Grandma saw Liu Yaoqing was so good-looking, and seeing him with brother Zhezi, she thought it was a pair of mandarin ducks that escaped by herself, so she felt pity, and said that the son of Zhao Xiancheng, who was causing a lot of trouble in the county, Zhao Feiteng.
Showing kindness is not for repayment, but for peace of mind.
But who would have thought that the idea given by Liu Yaoqing, the pancakes he gave, could transform the wonton stall that grandma's family had kept for a lifetime, and become a well-known wealthy household in the county today. There are more shops in the family, but the location of the city gate is always there, even Grandma is specially watching, maybe one day she can help Liu Yaoqing.
