A scholar becomes a landlord

Because they keep building goodwill for their husband, Wei Le not only has a high popularity in the hearts of the upper-class people in the county, but also has a good impression among the lower-class people. I can't help but feel good about this gentleman who teaches the children in the village without asking for anything in return. Pulling out the scholar masters in his own village for a comparison, everyone shook their heads in the end.

I really don't know, I'm startled.The scholar who thought he was good before suddenly lost his grade.The people are not friendly enough, and the literature is not good enough. Compared with other people who work as grannies every year, they are far worse.

More importantly, there is a fee to go to school in their home, which is not cheap.

This is something that many villagers in the village complain about. They are especially envious of the people in Li Village. They also want such a talented man!

It's a pity that it's not the same, other people's homes are always better than our own. If there is no drop, I can only continue to envy and hate.

Wei Le didn't care much about such rumors, he had already offended a group of talented people by taking lin rice every year, and now it would be no problem to offend a group of scholars.Only those talents who learn well without working hard and always envious of others will hate him, let alone what has this to do with him?He didn't charge money because he wasn't short of money, so he took it as a good deed.

And these scholars collect money because they can only rely on this to live on, they are no match for Wei Le, let alone compare, there is nothing to be jealous of.

Can these villagers still send their children to Li Village to go to school?Wei Le doesn't accept it either!I said that I would not teach children from other villages, and I have already considered this issue, so there is no reason for the jealousy of these scholars, it is entirely their own narrow-mindedness, blame Wei Le?

"Not to blame, not to blame, it's not Xiao Le's fault, it's their incompetence."

Yi Feng is Wei Xiaole's eternal fan. No matter right or wrong, Wei Le is always right. He often yells at Brother Tian that it's unfair, but who cares.

After returning from the capital, he received several posts, all of which invited him to participate in the poetry meeting, painting meeting, calligraphy meeting, piano meeting, chess meeting, etc., and he refused all of them.Such posts were not uncommon in the capital, and there were still people who wanted to challenge him, but Wei Le had no time to dismiss them, and these people were so angry that they threw glasses at home.

In the end, Wei Le was fine, but they were scolded by their husband, saying that they were petty and could not tolerate others.After Wei Le came to the capital, apart from showing up on the day of the coronation ceremony, he seldom came out to meet guests, but his husband hung up his writing in the study. Mrs. Liu liked entertaining guests in the study at that time, Wei Le His words have been appreciated by many people.

You can see a person's character by looking at his characters. Wei Zile is a cheerful person at first glance. If he doesn't answer the post, it is to save face for you. Otherwise, can the disciples taught by the champion be bad?They compared you to scum with just a single word, and they kindly called you to ask for a challenge. Don't embarrass them teachers and gentlemen, go home and study hard, and put them in confinement.

Wei Le didn't know that he killed a group of students looking for trouble without any effort, he just didn't want to lose face.Calligraphy is okay, what other talents are humiliating every minute!

poetry?He doesn't want to copy.Painting, not at this level.Chess, although it is not considered a stinky chess basket, it is not a national player either.The level of piano is generally of the kind that can barely meet people.

So how do you let him participate?In order not to embarrass the husband, he didn't go.

Mr. Liu is also very defensive, he doesn't want his disciple to be embarrassed by a group of students, so he changed the meeting place into a study room, and hung Wei Le's writing on the wall, saying that it was written by his disciple when, When did he send it to him? In short, there were a lot of good words about his disciples. The weaknesses were not mentioned, but the strengths were exaggerated. In addition, Wei Le, a student, was really good at it. The students' husbands and teachers' favorability towards Wei Le increased a lot.

Regarding his refusal to accept the challenge, he still thought that Wei Zile was saving face for them as an old man, and he didn't want these students to lose too badly and affect their reputation.

So as soon as they went back to their students, they were in trouble. They were punished one by one, and they had to come to the door to make amends. Although Wei Le didn't see them, because at this time they were chant scriptures with grandpa!

This is business, don't disturb.It is filial piety to say that you are chanting scriptures for your aunt. Do you dare to disturb other people's filial piety?

Of course not, if he really wanted to do this, his parents would kill him later.I am not filial, and even disturb other people's children to recite scriptures and respect their mothers, which is not filial.

So until Wei Le left the capital, those students who had hated him for a long time failed to challenge successfully, and instead made Wei Le's reputation even better.

tears~~

So when he came back and received the same post, he rejected it without even thinking about it.However, the people in their county knew that Wei Le didn't like to go out, so they didn't care about it. They just occasionally came to ask for a letter, or brought their children to ask for some help. No matter what, they always looked for opportunities to talk to Wei Le. Make good friends.

Now the story of Master Liu has spread in their place. As the only and closed disciple, Master Liu's resources are all reserved for Wei Le. If you don't want to curry favor at this time, when will you curry favor?

Wei Le was not good at chasing away people who came to his door, so he had to let them pick one or two pictures out of the words he had written.This was okay, but it gave him a headache when his son came to the door.

He doesn't even know your child, so how do you pluck it?

I had no choice but to ask the other party a few words, but the answer asked him what should he say?

"Brother, you'd better take Young Master Ling out for a walk! Open up your mind, don't keep locked in the house."

If it continues like this, at most it will be a sour scholar, the kind who dies in reading.

After finally sending away the father and son who were still in a daze, Wei Le wiped the sweat from his forehead. Since the students he taught went to the city to find jobs, his reputation as a teacher has spread, and many people want to send their children to the Wei Le's school.Fortunately, he had the foresight to put down his words early and stopped everyone from the door.

But even so, more and more people came to visit. In the end, Wei Le was irritated, and he packed his bags and went to the Golden Buddha Temple, saying that he was going to read scriptures for his aunt, which made them calm down.

However, Wei Le really lived on the mountain for a few days, and saw a few beggars whom he hadn't seen before.Oh no, they are no longer beggars, but the newly ordained young monks of the Golden Buddha Temple.

There is also Awakening, and because of his age, the host did not let him go out to wander, and he was locked up in the temple, staring at his junior and junior every day, and occasionally taking Wei Le to chant scriptures together.

"It's a pity that such a person with a root of wisdom has such a shallow relationship with Buddha?"

Master Awakened said to his younger brother.

"Everything has its own fate, and you can't force it. Brother, don't mention this matter, be careful that Xiao Le will turn against you. His bad temper, he will come up as soon as he says it." The host has nothing to do with his grandson, so he still asks his senior brother to take care of him Now, do you think 100 taels of silver is easy to get?

Although Master Awakened didn't do it for himself, but saved some poor people by exchanging silver taels for broken silver, but the silver was given by Wei Le, and he himself didn't have a single copper coin!

Being blocked by the host, the awakened master didn't mention it.However, he still likes Wei Le very much. He didn't accept disciples himself, so he treated the apprentices of his juniors as his own apprentices. Wei Le is his grandson and junior, so he is very kind to Wei Le.

Kindness is fine, Wei Le is afraid of not being kind.He's a bit thick-skinned, if you treat him well, he'll hit you with a stick and get on with it.So Master Awakening has followed a tail behind him these days, begging him to tell the story of his wandering abroad.

He suddenly became a storyteller. Master Awakened was still a little maladjusted and almost had a heart attack. Fortunately, he did not have this disease, so Wei Le successfully entangled Master Awakened to listen to his stories and let him know more about this country. world.

"The most miserable people in the world are the people. Prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer."

Wei Le sighed, after listening to Master Awakened, he found that the lives of the people in this world are only a little better than those in the last few hundred years of the Huaxia Kingdom in the previous life, but compared with the last hundred years of the last dynasty, they are too happy .They have never experienced national humiliation, so Daqing is still the most powerful country in the world, and everything about Daqing is highly respected in other countries.

As long as it has experienced that century of humiliation, any country will pay a painful price for it, and it will always be engraved in its own heart and will never be forgotten, nor will it be forgotten.Only when one's own country is strong, there will be no insulting signs that Chinese and dogs are not allowed to enter.

"You're right. You haven't experienced any hardships. How could you sigh like this?" Xingxing was a little curious. In his opinion, the hardships that Wei Le suffered before were not considered hardships, let alone What a pain.Because there are more and more people in this world who suffer more than him, who have no food, no clothes to wear, and they don't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

"...Well... Uncle Master, what do you think?"

Wei Le mischievously ran away, causing Master Awakening to be taken aback for a moment before laughing.

Awakening has already heard about his origin, and after thinking about it, maybe what he said was wrong. It's not that this child has suffered, his suffering is just that he can't tell others.

Some sufferings are physical, and some sufferings are mental. Wei Le has obviously experienced both kinds of sufferings, but he doesn't know which one is more severe.

Wei Le ran to the stream and sat down. In fact, the hardship he suffered for Yao was only relative.It must be considered hardship in modern times, but in ancient times, his life was like heaven compared with these poor people.

So he really had nothing to complain about the hardships he had suffered, so he ran away when the awakened master asked him.

"Xiao Le, I've been looking for you everywhere, why did you come here?" Fortunately, it's the beginning of April and the weather is getting warmer.

"Brother Feng, why are you here?"

Wei Le came this time to leave Yi Feng at home to deal with those people, and he himself sent Wei Fan home after sending him to the Golden Buddha Temple.It's rare that no one followed, except for Wei Le thinking about Yi Feng at night, he had a good time during the day, especially when he was pestering Master Awakening to tell him stories, he completely forgot about Yi Feng.

"I'll pick you up, lest you have too much fun and forget about me."

Yi Feng sat next to him, and he had to say that his guess was quite accurate, Wei Le really had too much fun and didn't want to go back.If there is anything that makes people feel bad, it is that there are only vegetarian dishes without meat.Fortunately, Master Huiyuan's craftsmanship is not bad, and he barely made up for it.

"I do not have."

I can't admit it, and I can't deny it very quickly.

"So can you come back with me now?"

Yi Feng didn't know him well, seeing his reaction, he knew he had guessed right.

"Okay, it's almost time to stay anyway. Have those people at home been dismissed?"

Wei Le did not forget why he fled to the mountain.

"It's all gone, what are you doing if you don't stay with them? But this year, six or seven families in our villa have booked yards to come to the mountain to escape the summer heat, and the deposit has been collected."

Yi Feng still told Wei Le the good news, and his eyes lit up when he heard that money was being accepted.

"Really? Great."

Cai Mi laughed and fell on Yi Feng's back, asking him to carry him back, change his clothes, pack up his things and follow him down the mountain.

"Yeah, great."

Xiao Le likes money, so he earns money.Last year, I dug a few more ice cellars, and this year the ice gradually began to be transported to the capital, and the income was two to three times that of previous years. Thinking of Xiao Le seeing a pile of money, Yi Feng relaxed his steps, Not at all affected by the weight on your back.

Wei Le lay on his back, pulled his hair for a while, and blew in his ear for a while, making Yi Feng dumbfounded.

"Don't be naughty."

Patting his butt, Wei Le did not dare to make trouble again.

"Ah~ Brother Feng, you are playing a hooligan!"

This is still a temple!

"If you don't move around, I won't pat your ass either!"

The fire on his body was almost aroused by him, and if he continued to make trouble, Yi Feng couldn't guarantee that his sanity would not be broken, and he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't bring Wei Le to justice on the spot.

"..."

He was carried back, but luckily he was walking on a small path, and Yi Feng deliberately avoided the crowd, otherwise Mr. Wei's image would be ah!

After changing clothes, greeting the host and awakening, Wei Le and Yi Feng went down the mountain.Today only Yi Feng came, he rode one horse and led another.

When Wei Le saw the horse, he thought it was quite interesting.Because he usually rides home in a carriage, could it be that he and Yi Feng ride home on horseback? It's so fresh and seems like they're on a date.

Turning on the horse, Wei Le smiled at Yi Feng, kicked the horse's belly lightly, and the horse began to trot.

Yi Feng smiled and chased after him on horseback.

"Brother Feng, when will the two of us go up the mountain again?" Wei Le realized that there were too few opportunities for the two of them to be alone, and only at night was the time for the two of them, which is wrong!

When other people fall in love, they can find places to date everywhere. The two of them actually don't have much time to be alone except at night. Even if they have time, they can't kiss me in public!In the future, nothing will happen, but in ancient times, it would be shocking to the world!

For example, kissing in front of people, no matter if it is on the face or on the forehead, was considered offensive in ancient times, but it is so normal in modern times that it does not attract people's attention at all.

"Uphill? Do you want to go uphill? Yes!"

Yi Feng nodded, and went up the mountain as soon as he went up. He also wanted to be alone with Xiao Le. It was always inconvenient when he was at home. Like the last time when two people went up the mountain, although he had to be careful of poisonous snakes and insects along the way, it was also sweet in retrospect. time for both of them.

"Well, let's go a little further this time and bring a bow and arrow. I can already shoot some small animals."

After practicing for so long, Wei Le, who was finally able to shoot a living creature, said.

"Okay, but you can't tell grandpa about this. Monks are forbidden to kill."

Yi Feng nodded, Xiao Le is not the same as before, he is in good health, and it is no problem to go far with his own protection.

"I will never tell my grandfather, otherwise he will make me recite the scriptures of rebirth."

Although Wei Le wanted to go to the mountains to try his own archery skills, and at the same time brought some pheasants and hares back to try, but he definitely did not kill innocent people indiscriminately, he never touched animals.

Wild game such as pheasants and hares will not be regarded as protected animals in the future. It is not illegal to kill a few occasionally to taste!

"..." Yi Fengmo, thinking that Grandpa might really do this, he could only pray for his little lover.

He hasn't memorized a single scripture about the past life scriptures.This is far from my little lover. He really doesn't have the talent for reading. The only books he can read are related to the art of war, and he falls asleep when he reads them.

"Got home."

Wei Le rode his horse to the door, Li Dahai immediately got down and took the two horses away.

"Master, welcome back."

Butler Jin led the crowd to welcome him.

"Daxue Xiaoxue, you guys are working so soon?"

Didn't they give them a one-month wedding leave?

"Yeah, anyway, there's nothing to do at home, so it's better to come back and do something, and without us, the young master won't be able to eat well."

After Xiaoxue got married, she rolled up the woman's hair in a bun, and she looked a lot more mature. In the blink of an eye, they were eighteen or nineteen years old, which was too old for marriage in ancient times.

"It's true, the food you cook is more to my taste."

Wei Le nodded, he really likes the food cooked by Daxue, it feels like home.

Going back to the house to change out of the dusty clothes, Xiaoxue quickly came in and took away the dirty clothes.

"Comfortable."

After changing my clothes, I sat on a chair and poured myself a cup of food.

"Everyone is not used to being without you at home."

Yi Feng talked about the big and small things at home, but in fact the only big thing was that their young master was not at home, and everyone was not used to it.In the past, I was used to looking for the young master when I had something to do, and to take care of the young master when I had nothing to do. Now the young master is not looking for Master Yi. Although Yi Feng stays at home every time the young master goes up the mountain, he is not used to it every time. He always feels that there is something missing at home.

"Hahaha, so I'm too important, you can't get used to the feeling when I'm not at home?"

Wei Le raised his head and smiled, proud of himself.

"Yeah, you are the most important thing. We think about it every day when you're not here. We feel less angry at home."

With Wei Le, the Wei family is more lively, and it seems that it has a backbone.

"Well, I will try to stay at home as much as I can except going up to the mountains to accompany my grandfather. Let me tell you quietly, in fact, I am not used to spending the night outside. I always feel that I am not as comfortable and comfortable as I am at home."

Wei Le beckoned, Yi Feng put his ear to his mouth.

"That's great."

"Yeah, that's great."

The two smiled at each other.

After returning from the mountain to rest for two days, Xiaoxue was asked to prepare dry food, and Butler Jin prepared a small tent. Wei Le and Yi Feng were ready to enter the mountain.

This time there were only two people going, and because Wei Fan had Yi Feng by Wei Le's side, Wei Fan tactfully didn't clamor to go together, but prepared a lot of medicine, everything from wound healing to detoxification to deworming.

Each of them carried a large basket on their backs, which contained the things they needed when entering the mountain. There was also a quiver hanging outside the basket, which contained about twenty arrows, and the bow was held by the two of them.

"Is there anything else you haven't brought?"

Wei Le tied up the corners of his trousers to prevent insects from crawling in.

"I should have brought them all. Daxue and Xiaoxue helped clean them up. They are so careful."

Wei Le put on his boots and jumped on the spot a few times.

Yes, these boots are comfortable to climb mountains and are not afraid of falling off.

"Alright then, let's go!"

Yi Feng carried the heaviest pannier on his back and walked out first.

Wei Le carried the lighter one on his back. In addition to the necessary medicines, there were also some food and utensils in this basket. The weight was about [-] catties, which was not too heavy for a grown man.

The straps of the pannier have been replaced with straps that are about the length of the little finger, so that the shoulders will not be pinched, and the shoulders can bear more gravity.

"We're leaving, you have to take good care of your home! Look at the young master, I'll bring you some wild game and come back to taste."

Wei Le waved to the people standing at the door, they only planned to stay in the mountain for one night, and they will be back tomorrow, so don't worry.

"Master, servants are waiting for your wild game to cook!"

Xiaoxue said mischievously, and asked Wei Le to smile at her, and finally walked to the mountain with Yi Feng holding hands.

This time, the mountain they entered directly behind Wei's house was closer than the last time they went around the mountain villa, and the location was also different.

There are birdsong from time to time in the mountains, except for a small road, there are some tall trees on both sides.Occasionally the murmur of the springs could be heard, and if they had not disturbed the tranquility, these sounds of nature would have been a delightful music.

“The scenery in the mountains is really nice.”

It is now April, the leaves are thick and green, and the migratory birds who went to the south for the winter have returned, so Wei Le said that the scenery in the mountains is good.

"Yeah, it's really good, watch your step."

While walking, Yi Feng still cared about Wei Le.

The two of them were not in a hurry to hunt. It was meaningless to hunt now. They walked a little further in and found a place where they could camp. Then they went hunting and disposed of the prey as quickly as possible so as not to attract bigger beasts. .

The two quickened their pace until almost noon when they finally found a flat place with a stream running through it.Wei Le cleaned up the gravel on the ground, and cut some grass with a sickle to spread on the ground. Yi Feng also cut some branches to build a tent.

Seeing that Yi Feng was busy, Wei Le, who had laid the grass, took out the insect repellent and sprinkled it around the camp, and some small insects jumped out of the grass and ran away.

Wei Le raised his eyebrows, the medicine prepared by Wei Fan was indeed effective, seeing how the bugs were running for their lives, the medicine was still very effective!It's just that this medicine smells very fragrant, but I didn't expect it to be the nemesis of bugs.

After spreading the medicine, Wei Le went to the forest to pick up branches. Few people came in in the deep mountains, and many branches fell on the ground. Wei Le picked up a large bundle in a short while.

Considering that he needed some big firewood at night, Wei Le searched around, and luckily saw a dead tree.He doesn't have a tool in his hand now, and he will tell Brother Feng when he goes back, let him chop it back, and he won't have to pick up firewood today or tomorrow.

But I still took the two bundles of branches I picked up first, and I will talk about it later.
