You Miao's grief was uncontrollable, and she choked: "The Han Chinese lost miserably..."
Li Zhifeng said, "I'll call you back later."
You Miao couldn't help but burst into laughter again, but she had no choice but to wipe away her tears. When she heard Zhao Chao's defeat, that kind of indignation and sadness filled her heart, but she wanted to say it, but she didn't know how to announce it to Li Zhifeng. Tell yourself the sadness of losing the war because of the country. That emotion couldn't even be explained in words, and Li Zhifeng's light-hearted answer made him even more ironic.
"Forget it." You Miao said helplessly, and listlessly went to copy the book.
There has been no news in the capital, spring and autumn come, days are short and nights are long, time is passing.
This year was a great year, and the grain and rice in the south of the Yangtze River was rotten.
Qiao Jue's tea forest finally officially started producing Jiangbo Oolong. This oolong is also known as "beauty kiss". Just because each piece of tea is selected from the best young leaf tip seedlings, and even if the young girl picks the young leaves with her fingertips, it is still not guaranteed to be harmless, so she gently shoved it from the top of the tree with her soft lips.
Youmiao has accumulated 380,000 catties of grain, and rice in the south of the Yangtze River is cheap, and the landlords are reluctant to sell rice, so they put it in the warehouse.
One day, when You Miaochun returned to Sun's house after harvesting, Sun Yu did not ask him to read as usual, but asked him to make tea.
You Miao brews a good tea, and also has Jiang Bo Dongding Oolong from Qiao Jue's pit. In the past few years, he has almost done his best to serve Sun Yu, and I only hope that he can teach himself something. Tea, honey from the spring harvest, plum wine stained in summer, crabs and turtles harvested in autumn, bamboo shoots and bacon in winter, including the aged champion red in the cellar, sent to the Sun's house in the whole dynasty, Sun Yu naturally likes this student's cleverness, knowing that filial piety is also important. He studied hard, and he taught almost everything he had learned in his life.
Sun Yu said, "You Miao."
You Miao offered tea with both hands, bowed and said, "The student is here."
Sun Yu said slowly: "In the past three years under the teacher's school, what books have you read? What have you learned?"
You Miao thought about it and said, "There are too many, and the students can't remember it for a while."
Sun Yu said, "You have read the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly."
You Miao hurriedly said, "I read it, but I don't dare to explain it."
Sun Yu: "There are five or six out of ten, and it's enough to write an even-handed article to bluff people."
You Miao didn't dare to answer, and Sun Yu said again, "You know what to do before you know it."
You Miao: "Yes."
Sun Yu: "Zhuangzi and Tao Te Ching, you can look at it. To be a human being, you have to do something, you can't do it without doing it. You know how to do it. Hu people don't tell you about Lao Zhuang. I can go with the flow and go to see the King of Hell."
You Miao: "Yes, students keep this in mind."
Sun Yu: "Let's not learn too much of obscene words and melodious songs. Don't be realistic in your writing, and don't follow the words and chase the algae, eloquently, and talk nonsense."
You Miao: "Yes, students follow the lesson carefully."
Sun Yu: "'You know what you are looking for', you must remember it too."
You Miao didn't know what Sun Yu meant by mentioning this, so she sweated and felt anxious, and replied, "I'm ashamed to say that, it's not enough for a student to examine things."
Sun Yu: "Then I will test you. Who do you want to be?"
You Miao respectfully replied, "Like a pine, not afraid of the wind, like a stone, not afraid of the waves, not following the flames, being a gentleman, with the thought of serving the country. Like a bamboo like a river, he occasionally follows the trend, but he does not change his true character. , maintain the original intention, perseverance, keep a low profile, show weakness and wait for the opportunity to counterattack."
Sun Yu nodded and said, "It's easy to break if you are strong, and you will be humiliated if you are strong. You have to get 80 percent of your life."
You Miao: "Yes, yes."
Sun Yu: "Do you still remember, what did you say when you came to the teacher on the first day?"
When Sun Yu asked, You Miao remembered it and replied, "Cultivating one's body and keeping the family in order, governing the country and the world."
"Very good." Sun Yu stroked his beard and nodded: "You are an aspiring person. The messenger came the day before yesterday. This year, the capital opens Enke, and people from all over the world can go to Beijing for a test. Go back and prepare, and you will be on the road in three days, so you don't need to come again. Farewell to the teacher."
will try? ! You Miao had not been to Beijing for three years, and was a little overwhelmed when she heard this. It seemed like a long, long time had passed since the day he returned from the capital, so long that the two were almost irrelevant.
Sun Yu said that when he asked him to take the exam, You Miao suddenly felt a little timid, and that timidity showed in Sun Yu's eyes, and Sun Yu immediately became angry.
Sun Yu's face sank: "Man, you don't want to serve the country, so what kind of sages do you read? If you said this one day earlier, the teacher wouldn't have spent the effort to punish you! Do you want to live in Jiangnan guarding a few acres of thin fields for the rest of your life? ?"
You Miao knew the mistake immediately and discriminated: "No... No, teacher, I just heard that I was going back to Beijing, and I was a little afraid of seeing my old friend. I will definitely go there."
Sun Yu sneered and said, "I know that you are always thinking of being a little rich and safe..."
You Miao hurriedly said, "Students dare not..."
Sun Yu shouted: "Listen! If you can help Mingjun and benefit the world one day, the country will be a million hectares of fertile land that you can take care of! The country is a chessboard on which you can ride! If you have the ability, why should you be afraid to govern the world? With this Resolved? Why don't you treat the people kindly?! Think of the world as your villa and the people as your inhabitants.
These words were tantamount to a slap in the face, which made You Miao's heart shudder, bowed to the ground, and said solemnly: "The student has been taught, and the teacher's expectations will definitely not be dishonored."
Only then did Sun Yu soften his face, nodded slowly, and said, "You are my student, so you should go too. With what you have learned, it is not difficult to get a champion, and it is not difficult to get a jinshi. The truth, do not seek glory, do not strive for a false name."
You Miao's heart was pounding, she nodded, her eyes were a little red again, Sun Yu took out a letter from her bosom and said, "You don't deal with your father, and he didn't end up with a petty philistine stench. It is also a blessing, you will be able to go further if you take off the hat of dandy. After you go to Beijing, if you have nowhere to stay, you can follow the instructions in the letter and go to the Imperial College, and you will be provided with food.”
When You Miao took the letter, mixed emotions surged up in an instant, and she immediately bowed three times to Sun Yu respectfully.
Sun Yu received this gift safely, You Miao was a little reluctant to bear him, and said with red eyes: "Teacher..."
Sun Yu said slowly: "You should remember your promise to the teacher, cultivate yourself and serve the country, and remember not to do anything wrong, just go."
You Miao nodded to receive training, then withdrew, holding the letter, and standing outside the second gate of the Sun Mansion, she couldn't help feeling overwhelmed for a while.
Li Zhifeng was sitting in the teahouse across the street when You Miao suddenly realized that this person had remained the same for decades, as if he had never changed. When he was fifteen years old, he looked like that. Now that he is eighteen years old, he is taller than his ears. Li Zhifeng still looks like that.
It seemed that the world was noisy and the smoke was rolling, and it had nothing to do with him. You Miao walked across the street with the letter in her hand. Li Zhifeng was listening to the book. The storyteller was talking about the thirteen generals of the Hu tribe. Li Zhifeng was fascinated by it, until You Miao left. It took me two steps to notice.
"Why is it so fast today?" Li Zhifeng asked You Miao's face carefully.
You Miao replied: "I've left the apprenticeship, I'm going to have a test."
Li Zhifeng hummed, but he didn't quite understand the expression, and You Miao said, "Go to Beijing."
Li Zhifeng asked, "Will you take me there?"
You Miao said: "Of course, otherwise who will accompany me?"
Li Zhifeng said happily, "Let's go, go back and pack up."
You Miao was full of feelings of parting, but Li Zhifeng made it disappear again, so she had to go back to the villa with him, both ironic and laughing.
