Datang cat raising hand letter

Mr. Xiaolang was a little younger than Lu Wensheng expected. According to He Yisi, Yu Yu was only twelve, but being so thin and thin made Lu Wensheng feel a little bit of affection in vain.

To him, this is the age of his younger nephew.

Lu Wensheng, who was dressed in a moonlight robe, looked very elegant, and he spoke in a smooth manner, like flowing water: "I heard that Mr. Xiaolang is really a filial, honest and upright person. I came here today, and I especially want to visit you. two."

Governor Lu didn't mention the reason, nor did he make sense, but only mentioned the surface.

Both Lu Wensheng and the county magistrate He were not wearing official robes, and they only followed the appearance of two attendants. It seemed that they might be some small officials in Shicheng County, or they might be some chivalrous scholars who had heard anecdotes and had nothing to do. .

Mr. Xiao Lang looked cold and indifferent, which made He County Magistrate feel a little flustered, for fear that this wild villager did not understand etiquette and rejected Mr. Lu.

Unexpectedly, the little man looked expressionless, but his face was cold and his heart was hot. After a pause, he whispered: "If you don't mind, you can go to the humble house to drink tea to cool off the heat."

He County Magistrate hurriedly said for Lu Gong: "Great kindness."

Then he scolded the yamen servant who was doing the work in his heart, and the old county magistrate by the way, he actually forgot all the praise he had said before.Why didn't Duke Lu mention the reason at all? Others don't know, so doesn't he know? !

It was clearly the young gentleman of the Yu family who didn't seem to know anything about it, which made Lu Gong change his words!

Datang's "promoting filial piety" and "imperial examination" are parallel, which is enough to see that the choice of filial piety still needs to be cautious.If Lu Gong left a "faint and incompetent" impression, what should I do?

County magistrate He got angry and scolded people indiscriminately, but he didn't want to deal with such a matter himself, but instead left it all to the people who did things below.Not to mention other things, it is precisely because he does not value himself that he has this result.

However, Lu Wensheng liked Yu Yu's honest and natural reaction, he laughed loudly, and followed the young gentleman in plain sackcloth.

The two-story thatched cottage is indeed extremely simple, but the inside area is not small. Except for a small main hall, there are rooms on the left and right, and there is a very spacious and unlocked room behind.Lu Wensheng took a quick look. The room on the left was a living room, while the room on the right was actually a steaming small kitchen.

He was surprised at first, but then he realized that if no one was waiting for him, Yu Yu really needed to cook by himself.

Thinking of this, Lu Wensheng suddenly felt pity.

At such a young age, with such filial piety, he has to suffer from such hardships.

Yu Yu invited a few of you into the lobby to sit down.

The two attendants looked at the rudimentary interior of the hall, but they didn't leave any space when they entered. They didn't dare to sit down, and after a few excuses, they still stayed on the ground floor.

Yu Yu went to the small kitchen to put down the basket, made some tea, and brought it to the main hall of the house.

After thinking about going out again, I came back to accompany the two older guests.

Magistrate He smiled and said, "But you forgot something?"

Yu Yu said slowly, "He brought some mint water for the two downstairs."

Lu Wensheng thoughtfully, lowered his head and sipped his tea.

He County Magistrate originally didn't intend to touch the rough tea from the countryside, so he took a sip when he saw Mr. Lu tasting the tea, but this tea is not commonly eaten in the county. .In this scorching summer, after drinking tea, I immediately feel the sultriness dissipate, and my heart is open.

Lu Wensheng's eyes showed surprise, he drank a cup of tea, and chatted with Yu Yu for a few words.

This Mr. Yu Xiaolang speaks clearly and is courteous. He is not at all the attitude of a countryman. Compared with the children of the aristocratic family, he is still inferior, but he can be called advancing and retreating properly.He couldn't help asking: "Has Mr. Xiao Lang ever studied?"

Yu Yu was holding the teacup, raised his eyes when he heard the words and said, "I never studied with my teacher, but only occasionally read poetry and books."

Lu Wensheng sighed and was delighted.

What makes him sigh is that such a situation has wasted him, but what makes him happy is Yu Yu's character.

County magistrate He knows Yu Yu's family situation well.

Although he said he didn't care, he had read the regulations handed over by the old magistrate.

Yu's father died before arriving in Shicheng County. After Yu Yu's mother, Mrs. Xu, took her son to Shicheng County, she started a wine business with the help of her servants.The wine produced is stronger and sweeter than foreign wines. Although it is only traded in the county, it has also made its own reputation.

However, Mrs. Xu sold out all her business half a year after she fell ill.After Mrs. Xu died of illness, Yu Yu, who was still young, asked the servant to build this thatched cottage next to the grave, and moved all the books and furniture in the house. Several merchants send some rice grains every once in a while.

These two people are both extraordinary.

Once Mrs. Xu realized that she couldn't support her body, she immediately handed over the hot potato, because the nine-year-old Yu Yu couldn't keep this very profitable shop; He resolutely moved to the foot of the mountain to live in a hut, even if he lived in poverty, but he had a filial reputation, even if those young people wanted to insult one or two, the county magistrate would not want such a dirty thing to happen.

County magistrate He has such a heart, thinking about other people's affairs, he only guesses for his own interests, completely unaware of the word "friendship" in the world, but he also wants to entertain himself.

Yu Yu, who was sitting opposite, saw that Lu Gong was curious, so he got up and walked to the back door, and immediately pushed open the unlocked door.

The small door is not tight, and it makes a tooth-squeaking sound when pushed.

The attention of Lu Wensheng and He County Magistrate was completely attracted by the world behind the door. They never expected that in this small three or four thatched huts, there are so many bookshelves as high as the roof and lined up four or five rows.All kinds of books were stuffed to the brim, and the fragrance of ink permeated the scrolls. Yu Yu crossed the threshold, and casually picked up a volume on the table near the door, saying in a light tone, "This is the volume that Anu ① read recently."

Lu Wensheng stepped over the threshold and walked behind Mr. Yu Xiaolang, bent down to look at the book in Yu Yu's hand, and was a little delighted: ""Selected Works of Zhaoming"?"

"Zhaoming Wenxuan" is a collection compiled by Xiao Tong, the eldest son of Emperor Liang Wu of the Southern Dynasty, who organized a large number of literati at that time. Because of the posthumous title "Zhaoming", the world calls this collection of Wenxuan "Zhaoming Wenxuan".

Therefore, those who study articles often have their eyes from this point.

Lu Wensheng took a rough look, and there were neatly packed scrolls on the bookshelf near the door, and there were almost dozens of them.

And "Wen Xuan" has a total of sixty volumes, even if it is considered a poet and book family, it is not because the family has spare capacity that it cannot prepare the complete collection of sixty volumes.Lu Wensheng just glanced at the volume on the desk, and he knew that Yu Yu was reading the fourth volume of "Ode to the Capital of Shu".

"Do you understand?" Asked He County Magistrate, who followed closely, his fat white fingers brushed over the bookshelf at the door, looking at the half-sized bookstore, his eyes flickered with some strange colors.

Yu Yu said calmly: "It's just a leisurely reading material."

Lu Gong smiled and read a few words: "Ernai lives in seclusion, Jiajiang is next to the mountains. The buildings are facing each other, and the hometowns are one after another." He looked at Yu Yu with interest, which was somewhat similar to the current situation, "Can you recite?"

He wanted to test his homework and asked casually.

"Family has a well of salt springs, and each household has a garden of oranges and pomelo. In the garden, there are loquats and loquats, orange persimmons and persimmons. The peaches are lined up, and the plums and plums are born. A house with all kinds of fruits, different colors and the same prosperity. Zhu cherry spring ripe, prime summer Cheng..." Yu Yu took it dryly.

Lu Wensheng first raised his eyebrows, then smiled, and listened attentively.Seeing that Yu Yu was catchy, he recited the following content smoothly and naturally, without any hesitation.

"Have you read all the articles in this article?" Lu Wensheng asked after listening to Yu Yu's fluent recitation.

Yu Yu shook his head, with a clear voice: "I only read interesting ones."

Even so, Lu Gongshan, as a teacher, has tested several articles in "Anthology", and seeing that Yu Yu can indeed recite it fluently, his eyebrows and eyes suddenly relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Reading, you can't just pick up interesting things. Read, and read more that are useful and need to be read.”

Just now he knew from the questioning that this little man had never read books with a more solid foundation.Nowadays, the imperial court and the people all praise their love of poetry, even the imperial examinations require reading and composing poems. Although books such as "Qie Yun" are a bit boring, they must not be left behind.

Gradually, Duke Lu's love for talents gradually arose, and he pointed Yu Yu seriously, sighing a little inside and outside the words, as if he felt quite sorry for the situation of this young man.

When the sun went down, Lu Gong left under the persuasion of He County Magistrate.

When he got on his horse, Lu Gong said gently to Yu Yu: "Whether you go to the county school to study, or find a master to teach, both of them have great potential for you, and you must not ignore them."

At this time, Lu Wensheng was not talking to Yu Yu as a state governor, but sincerely persuading him like an elder.

Yu Yu was stunned at first, then made a bow with both hands, and saluted with a long body.

After talking with them, Mr. Xiao Lang already had the feeling that Lu Gong and the fat follower behind him were not ordinary people.But sincerity can be detected from words and deeds, even if it seems that Lu Gong's gestures have the majesty of always being in a superior position.

Although he didn't show it when he was talking and laughing, he was a great deterrent to the fat man behind him, enough to see the master-slave relationship between the two.Coupled with Lu Gong's worries about his studies, Yu Yu couldn't help but have a strange guess.

Interviewing Xiaolian, asking about his studies... His eyes swept over the fat man, and the young gentleman felt a little enlightened.But Yu Yu is not very interested in studying and being an official, and he is so young, so it is true, and it has nothing to do with it.

Mr. Xiao Lang just thought about it for a while, and stopped guessing what other people thought.

Yu Yu didn't like the idea of ​​spying on others.

Duke Lu got on his horse, and County Magistrate He followed closely behind. He said something nice to Xiao Langjun, and then climbed up the horse with difficulty, and ran away with the horse in front of Duke Lu.

Yu Yu stood outside the bamboo forest, the setting sun and twilight fell on his thin shoulders.

The long reflection is intertwined with a few swaying bamboo shadows, and it is very lonely in the rare, rustling coolness of summer.
