The scholar came out of the academy and found an ox cart directly in the east of the city. After speaking a few words with the driver, he quickly got into the cart and walked out of the city with him.
The two of them didn't speak much on the way, but the scholar's thin face showed a little smile, and there was some joy in his eyes, and the driver even congratulated him repeatedly.
The master and apprentice followed behind them secretly, and learned a lot of news from the few words of those two people.
For example, the reason why the scholar Li Meng asked the teacher for leave seems to be to go out with his own sister on his back - it turns out that today is exactly when his sister is getting married, and he is the only adult male in the family, so It is only natural to let it go happily.
And the driver of this bullock cart is somewhat related to Li Meng's family. This time he came to the city to sell vegetables, and it happened that Li Meng was going to go home, so he simply waited in the east of the city and took him along.
For this, Li Meng is of course extremely grateful.
Mu Zirun used his last name in his previous life, and his surname was not "Li". Now that he knows the origin of his physical body, he feels a little complicated.
It seems that Li Meng can still read, so why did his physical body go to the outer gate of Jiuyangmen
This place is very far away from Jiuyangmen, so it is unlikely that he was taken away deliberately because of his innocence—you know, the spiritual roots of this physical body are just four spiritual roots, which are dispensable, completely dispensable. Not worthy of attention.
Yu Tianze grabbed Mu Zirun's wrist and led him away without any extra thoughts.
Anyway, he only cares about the apprentices in the shell, and he is not interested in the relatives of the shell itself.
Gradually, after the bullock cart left the city, it walked on a relatively wide dirt road, and after a few turns, it turned out to be a small village with beautiful mountains and rivers.
This is not a poor place, and the villagers look simple and simple. Let's live. Although we can't say that we are self-sufficient and heading for a well-off life, if we have a full stomach, we will be fine.
Muzi enlightened.
Kezi belongs to the rural household registration of my family, so Li Meng is Kezi's brother. The Golden Phoenix flying out of the mountain nest must be under great pressure. At the same time, the situation at home must not be good. It may still be a bit difficult, so it's no wonder that Li Meng is a little gloomy but working hard.
Soon the sound of playing music was heard, and many villagers walked to one place, discussing the affairs of that family, and at the same time going to the banquet in a hurry, it was very lively.
And in their words, they also talked about the situation of Li Meng's family.
The Li family is indeed not a wealthy family in the village. Although there were some scholars in the early generations, the scholars remained scholars all their lives.
After an epidemic, Li Meng's grandparents passed away early, leaving Li Meng's father, Li Hu, alone at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and had to take care of the family by himself. After finally saving some money in a few acres of fields, he married the daughter of a down-and-out old scholar—it was also because there were not many talented people from his ancestors in the whole village. Hu is still considered the heir of the "scholarly family", and he has the strength to marry his daughter with confidence. As for himself, he is even more ill, and he just waits to hold his grandson.
Mu Zirun: "..."
Sure enough, where there are many people, there will be a lot of news. These seven aunts and eight aunts can start from the eighteenth generation of your ancestors, so don't go into too much detail.
But after talking for so long, I only mentioned my father's generation. When will I be able to say something about him
Seeing his apprentice's embarrassing face, Yu Tianze couldn't help but flash a smile in his eyes.
Originally, I was a little impatient because of these gossips about trivial matters, but at this time, the depression was gone.
The little boy thought he liked to gossip about others, but now it was his turn to watch the jokes.
Those seven aunts and eight aunts didn't disappoint Mu Zirun either. After talking about the previous generation's affairs, it was the turn of the follow-up.
Besides, Li Hu married Hui Niang, the daughter of an old scholar, and the young couple worked very hard. Not long after, Hui Niang gave birth to a fat boy, and that was Li Meng.
The two had high hopes for Li Meng, so they quickly embraced him and named the old scholar, "Mongolian" means education, that is to let him study hard and become a talent quickly.
Then the old scholar was overjoyed.
Mu Zirun: "..."
Hui Niang was originally very thin and seemed to have an infertile face, so even though she was a scholar's daughter, some jealous women in the village would always make a fuss about it.
But it's not that they can't give birth, on the contrary... they can give birth very well.
Li Meng was born in the first year and conceived again in the third year, so the old Li family had two sons.
Mu Zirun knows, isn't this second person himself
But the old scholar died, and there was no more promising person to name him, so the shell only had the nickname "dog egg" when he was a child. If he wanted to talk about a high-level scientific name, he definitely didn't have one.
Yu Tianze's expression moved slightly, he looked at his apprentice: "... a dog?"
Mu Zirun: "Master, that's really not me."
Yu Tianze raised his hand and touched his head.
Mu Zirun suddenly had a bad feeling.
But everyone knows that children are difficult to raise. Mother Hui gave birth to two in a row, and her body is weak, so she couldn't do heavy work for three or four consecutive years. Everything fell on Li Hu, except for farming. When I return home, I have to take care of my wife, so many part-time jobs cannot be done, and the family's income is not enough, but the expenses are too high, so I naturally become poor.
But when Li Goudan was two years old, Hui Niang became pregnant again. This time it was even more difficult, and when it was even more difficult, this year happened to be short of water and the harvest of crops was not good... From top to bottom of the Li family, Only the word "poor" is left.
Seeing that the whole family couldn't survive, at this time, someone came to the village to buy a son, and he caught sight of Li Goudan, who had delicate eyebrows and eyes.
Obviously, no matter how reluctant Li Hu and Hui Niang were to give up, they still sold Li Goudan to someone. Anyway, he thought that the man was quite rich, and his son might be able to live better, so he had no choice but to be ruthless.
It's a pity that when Li Hu managed to get through this year with the two taels of silver he sold his son, when he went to inquire again, he realized that the man didn't buy a son at all, but a handsome boy. What was he going to do? Li Hu regretted the pickling, but where else could he find it
——People who plan food in the village, who knows that the son in that population is actually a "son"
Mu Zirun felt that he had been speechless many times today.
His physical experience is quite surprising... Thinking of this, his expression twisted for a moment.
Then what those aunts said, "The Li family has been hurt for a long time, and Li Meng's academic success has slowed down"...
He also said, "Afterwards, I gave birth to the third girl and the youngest son"...
Said "Li Mengzhong is a scholar, and the Li family is about to develop"...
Said, "The third girl is born beautiful, so she will marry into a good family so that the Li family will also enjoy the blessings"...
He also said "The third girl's dowry is not much so don't be disgusted by her husband's family"...
etc.
Mu Zirun also listened carefully to the miscellaneous news that followed.
Anyway, he has to figure out what the Li family lacks the most, so that he can cut off the cause and effect, right
But as he listened, he probably figured out three things.
The Li family is short of money.
The Li family is short of money.
The Li family is still short of money.
Mu Zirun was even more embarrassed.
Is it necessary for him to get a jar of gold, silver and jewels and bury them in the soil under the Li family's ancestral house, and then pretend to entrust them with a dream so that they can come out and become a little rich man
The technical content is too low, I don't know if it is enough to cut off the cause and effect.
It's true that the Li family is short of money, but according to the three aunts and six wives, they are about to get better soon, and they have been starving before, so does it matter if the money is used
What a headache.
Unable to make a decision, Mu Zirun looked at his master.
Yu Tianze was straightforward: "Give them a pot of gold."
Mu Zirun was silent.
Master is so happy to have a tacit understanding with him!
However, this should still be a bad idea...
Looking at his apprentice's expression, Yu Tianze knew that his apprentice disagreed, so he kept a straight face and stopped giving any advice.
Seeing that Master was in a bad mood, Mu Zirun quickly coaxed him over, so he temporarily ignored this matter of cutting off cause and effect or not.
Yu Tianze was coaxed by him for a few times, and he felt that the majesty of his master had been regained, so he opened his mouth coldly: "... bitch."
Mu Zirun choked.
Can this dark history be suppressed? Master, can't you just pretend you didn't hear it...
Yu Tianze looked at him again, feeling relieved.
The master and apprentice quarreled for a while, and as they walked, they saw a place where many people gathered.
Looking from a distance, in front of an old house that has obviously been slightly renovated recently, there is a couple in their forties and fifties with smiles on their faces, entertaining guests. Li Meng also changed into more festive clothes, and talked to some village officials who seemed to have a lot of face in the village.
The red "Xi" character was pasted in the room, and a girl with a red hijab could be vaguely seen sitting with her head bowed surrounded by several young girls.
On the dirt road in the village, a young man in wedding dress came riding a big horse, followed by a sedan chair, several bearers were full of spring, and there were playing and singing behind, which was very lively.
However, when Li Meng and the Li family couple saw the young man, their expressions changed.
Li Meng was full of anger: "Luo Shacai! Why is it you? Where is that boy Yang Yi?"
The young man riding a big horse was puffy and had a smug smile on his fat white face. He got off the horse and waved his hand to make the sedan chair stop: "Yang Yi? Hehe!"
After he finished speaking, there was a violent movement in the sedan chair, and a dark-skinned young man rolled out. He was being tied up by people, and he was very embarrassed now.
At the same time, the porters with big arms and round waists were not idle. They rushed from left to right, and quickly pushed away the people who came to stop them, scaring away the girls in the room. The tyrannical rich man dragged the bride out and pushed her directly into the arms of the puffy young man.
The puffy guy smiled even more obscenely, stretched out his hand, and was about to pull: "Such a beautiful lady, how can she deviate from Yang Yi, a stunned young man, of course she wants to be my concubine, Luo Shacai... "
Mu Zirun took a deep breath.
So, is this a snatching of a kiss
As soon as he snapped his fingers, a stone rolled to the bottom of Luo Shacai's feet.
