The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

In the afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and the school welcomed a few strangers again.

People dressed as servants carried two sedan chairs, slowly walked to the school gate, and put them down.

Lu Deming and Xiao Yu got off the sedan chairs, stood in place, looked at the school, and showed satisfaction in their eyes.

After all, it was just a school on a farm. It was built like this, which was better than 90% of the schools in Chang'an City.

Not to mention that other buildings would be expanded in the future.

Xiao Yu walked to Lu Deming.

"This is the school on the farm you mentioned. It looks really good." Xiao Yu said.

"It wasn't like this before. When I came here last year, the school hadn't been built yet. The children were attending classes in a thatched house in the village. It was King Jingyang who was kind-hearted. When he built the house, he also found a new place to build the school, so that the children in the village could have a better place to go to school." Lu Deming smiled and said, "Let's go in and take a look."

Xiao Yu nodded.

The two of them walked inside, and the servants behind them wanted to follow, but were stopped by Lu Deming.

"You wait outside. It would be bad if so many people went in and disturbed the children's classes." Lu Deming said, "This school is so small. If there is anything, I will call you."

"Yes." The servant who was originally following them bowed and responded.

Lu Deming and Xiao Yu entered the yard.

There are three houses in the yard. The largest one in front is the school where students study now. There are wing rooms on the east and west sides. The wing room on the east side is for the teacher to rest, and the wing room on the west side is a small kitchen. Usually, the village will take turns to have people come here to do something in the small kitchen.

For example, fetch water for the school, sweep the school and so on.

Students have time to rest during class. If they are thirsty, there is clean boiled water in the kitchen for them to quench their thirst.

From last year to this year, it is only a year. The school has just taken shape. The subsequent infrastructure has not been perfected in time. It can only be done step by step as Li Fu planned.

The space in the school yard is not small, enough for children to play and fight in the yard during class.

The place is not small, but there is not much content. Lu Deming and Xiao Yu walked around the three rooms of the school, and the scenery of the whole school came into view.

They found a pavilion at the back and sat down. At this time, the students in the school were in class. Listening to the sound of reading, Lu Deming and Xiao Yu always had smiles on their faces.

Good, really good, full of vigor and vitality.

Xiao Yu had not taught students for many years. Before, the world was unstable. After the world was stable, he was not brave and worked hard in the court, but he was also conscientious and dedicated to the court and the people.

Seeing the petty intrigues among the aristocratic families, he was tired.

As for Lu Deming, he was a doctor in the Imperial College. Although he also taught, he taught some young students. They had already read the books of sages for many years. How could they have the clear and childishness of these children?

Although these children were only in the enlightenment stage, they were all old people. Who would not be happy to see children studying seriously?

"It's because of the different environment. In Chang'an City, I rarely feel so relaxed." Lu Deming said with a smile.

"Since last year, Deming has been at home." Xiao Yu said with a smile, "Why is he not free at home?"

Lu Deming shook his head.

"Even if I'm at home, I have a lot of things on my mind, and they are complicated. In fact, at my age, others think that I should enjoy my life at home, with my children and grandchildren around me, and the joy of family. In fact, being in a big family, even when I'm old, it's not easy." Lu Deming said with a smile.

Even if people are open-minded, they still have to plan for their families and their descendants.

This point will not change even if you read more books of saints and understand more truths.

Don't say that you are as indifferent as a chrysanthemum. You only think about him when you are full, drink enough, and wear warm clothes. If you don't seriously plan for your descendants, can a good life be achieved by age?

That's not true.

"My son, like me, has read a lot, but as of now, he has not achieved much. If he can't make a name for himself in the future, how long will the Lu family be able to have food and clothing?" Lu Deming said with a smile: "My grandson looks smart, but he is still young. Who knows what will happen in the future."

"So Deming is thinking about these things." Xiao Yu said with emotion: "I thought you were really studying and gaining enlightenment at home."

"Reading is also reading,I have some insights, and I am also considering it for the sake of my family. "Lu Deming smiled and said, "Isn't it the same with Shiwen?"

Xiao Yu smiled helplessly.

"I am not too anxious about being dismissed from office, but my family doesn't think so." Xiao Yu smiled and said, "When I agreed to come to this farm, I also had the idea of ​​​​hiding away and having some free time. "

Lu Deming smiled and nodded.

Xiao Yu's sons have all entered the government and are highly valued by His Majesty in the court.

Although they are highly valued, if Xiao Yu is dismissed from his post and not reinstated, it will not be a good thing for them, and their future will definitely be affected.

After all, Xiao Yu was dismissed from his post this time because of the crime of "collaborating with the enemy".

Writing a letter to the grassland is "collaborating with the enemy".

If such a crime is not cleared, the whole Xiao family will be in trouble. Although they will not be as confused as Luo Yi and Li Xiaochang, they will not be able to become officials.

"At least the children in your family are promising." Lu Deming said with a smile.

"As elders, we should help our children and grandchildren as much as we can, but how far they can go depends on them. After all, we are all old, and even if we plan for them, how many years can we plan for? "Xiao Yu said.

"Hahaha, Shiwen, don't say you are old in front of me." Lu Deming laughed heartily.

Xiao Yu is nearly twenty years younger than him. The difference of twenty years is enough for him to train the third generation of his family.

Soon, the school was over. After the teacher came out of the school, he returned to the east wing and did not find the two old men sitting in the pavilion in the backyard.

It was the children in the school who saw Lu Deming and Xiao Yu while they were laughing and playing in the yard.

"Hello, two old gentlemen."

After seeing the two old gentlemen, a student came over politely to say hello.

Lu Deming and Xiao Yu smiled and nodded.
