[Comprehensive martial arts] With the martial arts protagonist

The time is long, fleeting, in a trance, Ayu is 34 years old, and it is another year of winter. Ayu has received a notice that he is about to leave in January of the first year. He has already noticed that his body is out of order. The problem is that the heart often twitches, and it seems that this time I am planning to let myself die of illness. The cause is also very clear, which is heart disease.There is no way to cure this disease at this time, even in modern times it is also an intractable disease, Ayu felt a little relieved, at least this time it was not a sudden death, so maybe more preparations can be made.

Speaking of which, Ayu has done a lot of things in the past few years. Almost every step has been calculated for a long time. For example, marrying his son to another girl from another family in the county is absolutely well-matched. The eldest brother of the official, this identity can guarantee that in the future, in case of being blessed by his own identity, he will not be suppressed. Of course, this is also because his son has become a scholar in August last year. marriage. A 17-year-old is a scholar. At this age, you can really say that you are a young and talented type. People are also willing to invest in it. Maybe in a few years, there will be a Juren, or even a Jinshi.

The daughter is also well married, and promised to the son of the county, a young boy, although he is a nerd, a bit pedantic, but he is a good person, very well-behaved, don't worry about any violation of discipline, implicating the family. .In addition, the instruction is at least an eighth-rank official position, with countless peaches and plums, and Ayu doesn't have to worry about her daughter's future life at all. The mu dowry field is enough for their family to eat and drink, but as far as he knows, that teaching can be regarded as a scholarly family, and the family business still has some, and the monthly income of the county school is not small, so there is no need to worry.

Qin Shi has also successfully become a scholar, married the niece of the county clerk, gave birth to a son, and on the recommendation of the clerk, became a ghostwriter in the county government, that is, specialized in official documents , The annual salary is only 50 taels, not to mention other gray incomes, which can be regarded as half an official status, which is very embarrassing to the family.

As for the uncle, at the beginning of the year, when he was drunk, he accidentally slipped and fell into his abdominal cavity, causing internal bleeding. Healing ability is strong, even Ayu has no other way, after all, he is only Chinese medicine, not Western medicine and surgery.The most important thing is that my uncle had a very bad life in his early years, his body's resistance was very poor, and he was getting older, he was almost [-], and his internal organs had almost no ability to heal themselves, so he survived for two months. Finally, he passed away.

Wearing hemp and filial piety, Ayu has fulfilled his promise to provide for his uncle's pension. During that time, Ayu discovered his heart palpitations. When he found out, he even thought a little self-deprecating. I can still gain a good reputation of loyalty and filial piety, and treat my uncle as if my own father passed away, and my nephew was heartbroken, and finally died of heart palpitations.It is estimated that the officials of the county government can still report it as the political achievements of the enlightened place, and get a plaque for their own house!Who made himself a juren, with a good reputation!Even if he doesn't want to go out anymore, there are quite a few banquets and gatherings that need to be attended every year, not to mention the gentry gatherings that the county government invites him to attend every time.

Ayu can be regarded as a gentry with a good reputation now, not to mention anything else, just the scholars of their old Qin family are enough to attract attention. In addition to him and his son, there is also Qin Shi, who is the three sons of Dalang and the others. None of them are bad, except for the youngest, the older two are also children. Ayu once set the rules for his own children. If you don’t pass the exam at the age of 20, don’t worry about it. Find a job. If you pass the exam, then the conditions are being relaxed, because the exam is held every three years, so there is no delay.

Just because of Ayu's decision, the children in the family want to be successful, and those who want to climb up study very hard and don't dare to waste time. This is also the reason why the children in their family start scientific examinations at a young age.A family of scholars, this is why the Qin family is famous in the county. After all, not just any family can guarantee the success of their children and grandchildren.

Ayu's deeds in teaching the place are also one of the reasons why the county attaches great importance to him. In this Qinjia Village, almost every household has literate people, and there are even scholars, which makes this small school a lot sacred. For example, Xiang Shizhu, who lived up to everyone's expectations Having passed the examination as a scholar, he has now become a clerk of the county government office. Ayu also fulfilled his promise and gave their grandparents a yard, but it was not the expanded house as mentioned before, but a tight courtyard.

In the past few years, the number of wealthy people in the village has increased, and the number of livestock has also increased. The original cattle sheds are not enough. In addition, the population of some families in the village has increased rapidly in recent years, and the houses are not enough to live in. If you want more I bought some yards, so the village was expanded again. This time, not only a row of four characters and twelve yards were expanded to the east, but also a long row of cattle sheds was expanded on the east and west sides. It was Dalang and the others. There is no shortage in the west, even Ayu moved all the animals of his family and Dalang's family to the cattle shed in the west.As for the original barns on both sides of the north gate, they were all demolished, pushed about ten meters to the north, and directly built small yards with two entrances facing south.The one leaning against the high wall of the new enclosure is the rear-covered house, and the front is the same concave-shaped courtyard as the others.Next to the gate, there are three sets in the west and five sets in the east.For the [-] additional yards, Ayu distributed a single-entry small courtyard to the grandparents of the Xiang family. Just to the west of Ayu, it was an old house that had just moved into the second-entry courtyard.This is already great news for the Xiang family. Originally, they only hoped to have three houses, but now they have a courtyard of nine houses. How could they be unhappy?

As for the concierge at the gate, there is a new family. It is a family who came to seek refuge with the villagers in the village. A family of five is crowded in those two rooms. They not only became the concierge, but also took over the old man The work of cleaning, pouring night incense, guarding the gate, and beating gongs. With such a precedent as Xiang's family, the newcomers are full of confidence, and they also think that after a few years, they can earn a house!Now there are several vacant houses in the village!They have plenty of opportunities.

Ayu's family now has a thousand acres of land. There are so many fields that don't show mountains or water. In addition to the more than 200 acres around the house, there are also 100 acres of fruit forests. It took the villagers several years to develop a lot of wasteland on the other side of the river. This kind of hard work not only made Ayu's family's field more than a thousand mu, but also other people's families, such as Dalang's family. Now there are more than [-] mu of land, and Lao Sun's family has nearly [-] mu of land. Even the poorest Lao Xiang's family has more than ten mu of land. In short, the benefits are almost equal.

Ayu stood on the edge of the reeds, looking at the withered fields on the other side, his eyes were a little blurred, he had paid so much and worked so hard, but all this was about to leave, which made him feel a little bit sad, at this moment , suddenly there was an extra piece of clothes on her body, Ayu turned her head and saw that it was her own son, frowning with dissatisfaction on his face,

"Father, you are not in good health, why did you come out to blow the air again? You are a doctor yourself, and you should know how to measure it. Uncle has already said that your illness is caused by too much effort. If you can take it easy and worry less , it must be fine, look, let him say it right again!"

When Ayu heard this, he laughed and said angrily:

"It's just him, he's still good at collecting herbs. When did he become a doctor? I haven't heard that he can do this unique skill. He was just lazy to read books back then, and he is not ashamed now."

"Father, you are amazing and know everything, but son, I am also a doctor now. If you are sick, the doctor can't heal yourself, so you have to listen to your son. It is important to rest more."

Ayu's son almost followed Ayu's route. He studied medicine and studies since he was a child. He also practiced martial arts, hunted, collected medicine, and farmed. Fortunately, this child is really smart, otherwise Ayu might be able to make trouble. Silly, since he was started, in Ayu's elementary school and in the medical center, you can often see Ayu teaching his son hand in hand, that is to say, Ayu completely treats his son as his own shadow. Whatever, let the son do what he wants, but fortunately, Ayu doesn't grind tofu or tan leather or anything else, otherwise the child might have to learn a few more things.

The advantage of being with him since he was a child is that this child was absolutely close to his father at that time, and sometimes even when Ayu and his wife disagreed, he could decisively betray his mother and stand on the united front with Ayu, which made Yaomei very dissatisfied. Not angry.

Ayu only has one son and one daughter. In fact, he could have other children, but Ayu dared not, because he was worried that if he left, the child would be too young, and he would be worried.It's just as good as it is, anyway, I already have sons and daughters, and I have enough good words. I don't have to worry about having no successors in this world, and I don't have to worry about my sons turning against each other because of the family business.Except for the dowry for the daughter, everything else belongs to the son. How nice, family planning also has its advantages.

As for Xiaobao?Over the years, Xiaobao really came back several times, and each time he took Xiaobao to see the house, entered the mansion five times, brought the garden, and the thousand acres of fertile land.Now, it's not Ayu who is in charge anymore. Under Ayu's repeated requests, Xiaobao sent Shuang'er to stay here permanently, and it can be regarded as looking after Xiaobao's house.It is also helping Xiaobao guard the final base.

Ayu doesn't know if Xiaobao's life outside will change without Shuang'er by his side, but he can't control so much anymore, no matter how close a brother is, he has to be measured, right? Xiaobao trusts himself, and he will You should know how to avoid suspicion, so as not to make it difficult for children in the future.

Now his only thought is, when will Xiaobao come back, and whether he can meet Xiaobao for the last time in time.

"Son, what do you say when the person who delivered the letter to your little uncle comes back? When will he come back?"

Ayu turned to look at his son expectantly, the child always felt a little ominous looking at Ayu like this, frowned and retorted:

"Father, you are just thinking about it. You are in good health! As long as you take good care of yourself, you can live to j□j ten years old. Don't worry, don't always think about what you have and what you don't have."

Seeing his son like that, Ayu sighed, he didn't want to say it, but after thinking about it, he had to let his son prepare, right?What if it was too sudden and my son couldn't stand it?After so many years, the relationship between father and son is not fake. Thinking of this, Ayu had no choice but to say to the child according to the rhetoric he had made up long ago:

"Son, I'm not lying to you. I feel it myself. Your grandfather had this disease. He died earlier, and he died before he was 25. This is good enough for Dad. It's also because he has practiced martial arts all these years and has taken good care of himself. In this way, but don’t forget, what kind of life did father live before the age of 14, precarious, poor food and clothing, under such circumstances, he still lost his body in his youth, I can feel that this time it may be difficult It’s not bad to delay it for a few months, son, you have to remember in the future, our children need to be taken care of from an early age, otherwise they may not be long-lived people. I have summed up a lot of methods over the years, as long as you follow them in the future If we do it, this disease will disappear from our family, but I’m afraid that Dad won’t be able to see it.”

Having said that, his son was already in tears. He had already seen the pulse case and disease debate booklet written by Ayu himself in his study room. There are many reactions of Ayu's body recently.

He is also a doctor since elementary school, how could he not understand the meaning here, his father's heart disease is already very serious, and he may die of the disease at any time, but he has never been able to believe it, thinking it is a lie, and even more so. He felt that his father's medical skills were so good that he would definitely be able to cure him. Even if he couldn't be cured, the onset of the disease must be delayed. He didn't want to hear Ayu say such ominous words at this time, how could he not be sad!

Ayu patted the child on the shoulder. He is content, really content. He has a filial son, grandson, status, fame, family business, and so many students. What is he not satisfied with? Well, this life was stolen and earned by him. He is proud of himself, but there is still Xiaobao!He still can't let it go, always thinking about seeing each other again, and it's okay, but his last wish, why can't he come true!Could it be that he was asking too much?

Ayu turned around and wanted to go into the house. Son, let him calm down at the door. Going in like this might make the whole family uneasy. I also thought about being more peaceful and quiet.

Because of the uncle's death, the old Qin's family is still keeping their filial piety, and the house is very quiet. Ayu walked through the front yard and walked into the main hall. He was about to drink a pot of hot tea to warm himself up, when he heard Yaomei teasing his grandson in the room. The sound of the child, and the sound of the child's babbling, Ayu's heart warmed up, and he couldn't help warming his hands, and walked inside.

"Why did you bring the child here? My daughter-in-law didn't snatch it from you!"

As the first grandson of the next generation of the old Qin family, this child is very popular. Even the grandfather Ayu often just watches and cannot handle it.Besides Yaomei, there is also my aunt who is eyeing her!That's my wife, with a seniority, who can stand being pressed down as big as a mountain.

It was rare to see the couple with their grandson in the house, and Ayu's brows and eyes widened with smiles, and the creases suddenly increased by [-]%.Seeing the child's dark eyes staring at him, drooling with fists in his hands, how he thinks it is good, he is much cuter than his son back then, so with a grandson, ordinary sons have no status. valid reason.Universal axioms.

Seeing Ayu like this, Yaomei also snickered, and said:

"My son said that he wanted to sort out the collection of books in the study, and she went to help, as if to say something, ah, by the way, that he wanted to sort out the books you copied back then and put them in a special box for hiding. I don't know what they are going to do. Do it, leave them alone! Let them toss about, as long as I have a grandson in my arms, it’s fine even if I turn the house upside down, isn’t it, big grandson! "

Hearing this, Ayu couldn't think of what they wanted to do for a while, but felt that the days of keeping filial piety were probably a bit idle, and she was just looking for something to do, so she simply ignored it and just cared about playing with the children until her son came to ask about the availability of the study room. A small box, I don't know what's in it, it's heavy, and it's still locked, I asked Ayu to see it before I walked out.

Looking at the box, Ayu had just let go of his thoughts about Xiaobao not long ago, and came up again. Which box could it be? Those jewelry boxes that Xiaobao brought to Ayu. Ayu sighed and groped to find out. I picked up the key, opened it to show my son, and sure enough, I heard the sound of my son gasping for air.

"This is from your Uncle Bao, so please keep it. This is something that can be passed down to the family. Don't use it unless you have to use it at home. There are also a lot of silver notes here. After a while, you go and exchange them all for gold." Come back and keep it. Antiques from prosperous times and gold from troubled times. Although it’s not a troubled time, it’s not reliable to collect antiques. If people miss you, do you burn it or smash it? In Suzhou, I heard that there is a family, For the sake of Yuan Qinghua, a family of dozens of people did not run away, they were all killed, and the house was burned. What is this? Gold is better, and it is hidden without anyone noticing. Besides, Seeing that the princes are all grown up, it's really hard to say what they will be like in the future. With so many princes, it is impossible to say that there will be some troubles, and you must always leave yourself a few more retreats. You are also a father, and you have something to say , father is not afraid to talk to you. Your father and I don't want to be an official, just don't want to take the risk of the court. So many famous officials in the past dynasties can be regarded as famous in history, but what about the ending? How many of them are Okay? Zhang Juzheng is great, right? When he dies, his children will starve to death, what about Xu Jie! What is the end of old age? Shangluo? Look at this dynasty, Sukesaha, Ebilong? Hehe, famous officials I don’t know if I’m lying to myself or to others! Be a stable person, become a doctor, and go out and have some status. Eagles hit the sky, fight the wind and waves, it makes people excited and exciting, but if there is a In case, the whole family will be ruined, father is too timid to take risks with the whole family."

What Ayu said hit the nail on the head, and his son's face turned pale when he heard it. He really didn't expect his father not to be an official because of this. He has always felt that his father didn't go to the Jinshi examination because he didn't like being an official. , with a noble temperament, or because he knew that in the Qing Dynasty, he was a Han and could not be a prime minister, so he came here not to be a famous minister, but to be a famous doctor, for the sake of his reputation as a scholar-bureaucrat.But he didn't want to see through the ending of the so-called famous officials, so he avoided harm.Thinking about the endings of those historical celebrities, it was really like this, it was really shocking, but since the consequences were so unbearable, why would there still be people jumping into this quagmire one after another?

Thinking about himself, he suddenly understood that it was just vanity, it was just unwillingness, it was just a fluke.Fortunately, he was sober, and he was very fortunate that he had a wise father who pointed out everything to him in time.

While the father and son were talking, there was a knock on the door of the Qin family outside. For some reason, Ayu suddenly seemed to get excited. He could feel that someone was calling him at the door. A very familiar person, he could Guess who.

Xiaobao, it's Xiaobao who came. He knew his physical condition and came to see him for the last time. Ayu walked out quickly, and when he walked into the yard, he saw that the door had been pushed open. The person outside the door was not Xiaobao. Who else could Bao be?It's just that it was just the last look that Ayu saw. At the moment Xiaobao appeared, Ayu suddenly felt her heart tighten, and there was a burst of gold stars in front of her eyes.

Damn it, why is it early? He thought he still has more than a month left, so why is it early!Before he could curse, Ayu's eyes were already pitch black. The only thing he could feel was that he was tightly holding a small Yuruyi in his hand, which was given to him by Xiaobao. He hadn't moved it all these years. However, if it wasn't for opening that box by chance, maybe he would have forgotten that he still has such a thing. It was the first time he took it out today, and he just held it in his hand and played with it casually. , perhaps also something he can bring back to modern times this time.

Well, it's not empty-handed after all, but why is it ahead of time?Ayu didn't understand, but fortunately he saw it, Xiaobao came back safely, this is better than anything else, count the time, come back this time, maybe, Xiaobao will never leave again, Tiandihui, Kangxi, all Will lose Xiaobao's trace, he did it, gave Xiaobao a home, a retreat, helped Xiaobao settle Wei Chunhua, took care of his uncle's pension, gave birth to a son, and passed on to the Qin family. The responsibilities, obligations, friendships, family ties, everything has been done.He has no regrets!
