A misty rain painting the hometown

"Liang'er's method is good, and the teacher has already made an appointment. Just wait for another three to five years, and the Bodhisattva will bless you."

Gu Jin called into Gu Hai and sent him to deal with Yang Tingzhao.Yang Tingzhao has a small courtyard in Jienan Hutong. One of his wife has died, and he has a daughter who is married. Now he relies on writing letters, happy funeral couplets, and daughter Xiaoyin to spend the day. When he got the job of teaching, he immediately joined the housekeeper and joined the original employer.Fang Ru was very polite to him, and told about Gu Ji in detail, Yang Tingzhao agreed.

Three days later, Yang Tingzhao entered Meiyuan's study room, Gu Ji raised his head, and his eyes met this fine old Confucian.

"Hello, master."

Yang Tingzhao was delighted to see that he was already a teenager. He didn't have to listen to his instructions to teach the six-year-old naughty boy. He asked in detail what he had learned earlier, but Gu Ji pretended to be lazy and forgot about it.Yang Tingzhao had learned from his wife that the student's serious illness was gradually recovering, and he could not be blamed, so he taught the class from the beginning.

The daily lectures lasted only one hour, after which Yang Tingzhao went to the big kitchen to get a food box and returned to the alley.Gu Ji made knife carvings on wooden boards, and he made movable pens, inks, papers and inkstones.The board is [-] centimeters long and [-] centimeters wide. It is shaped like a long piece of stamp ink embedded in the top left side of the board. It can be placed on the board and the angle of the pen to make a suitable ink transfer.

Only ten sets were made in [-] days.Gu Ji distributed a set to each of Qingqiu, Gu Dun, Caiyue, Caixia, Li Changji, and Huang Bingbiao, and taught them to cut rice paper of the size of a wooden board by hand.

As soon as Yang Tingzhao left, Gu Ji ordered Li Changji and Huang Bingbiao to grind the ink, take the ink with bamboo straws and divide it into ink sets for six people, and then divided the rice paper, went to Meilin, sat around the stone table, and made six people Mr. Teach.

It is only half an hour before lunch every day.Everyone only thought that the young master's pictures were fresh. After a month, everyone could read some characters and write their own names, so they knew that the young master was serious about teaching.After everyone was able to use the blackboard set proficiently, Gu Ji taught six people to recognize numbers and do arithmetic.

After lunch, Gu Ji went to the study to read a book, in order to understand all the people, things, and things in Shang Ming Kingdom, and make some cost-effective calculations based on this.

The weather is getting hotter, and I know that summer is in Meilin.As usual, every afternoon, Fangyuan would bring some food and drink, usually two plates of dim sum, sometimes a cup of tonic soup.This time it is a small silver bowl of sour plum soup to cool off the heat.Gu Ji asked Qingqiu to share six shares equally, while he himself drank cold tea.Knowing that the young master was busy making plans for himself, Qingqiu didn't ask any more questions, and just followed orders.Although the troubles encountered at the banquet a month ago led to a slight change in the young master's temperament, his heart became more and more kind. Seeing the other five people holding porcelain bowls in a daze, Qingqiu frowned slightly.

"Drink it all, the young master will be happier."

Qingqiu raised his head, drank half a bowl of sour plum soup in one gulp, and his whole body was energized for a moment. This refreshing thing is really sour and pleasant!

Morning exercise, dinner, listening to the old master's lecture, teaching six people, lunch, having snacks, busy with other things, after dinner, Gu Ji took the six people to run along the plum forest, then boiled water, took a bath, and went to sleep.

The smell of grass mud is already ripe, the summer wind is sandwiched, overflowing the plum garden, and the pond frogs nearby are also croaking, it is midsummer.The night is a little cooler, but the heat is not reduced.In Fangyuan, the lights are bright, there are seven tables full, and the dishes are rich. Gujin is next to Guji, and Guji is seated.

"Yao'er, I'm 13 years old today."

"I wish the 14-year-old Guji good health and happiness."

"I wish my little brother a long life."

"..."

Gu Ran, Gu Liang, Gu Jun, and Gu Yun saw Gu Ji again after three months. In the red light, Gu Ji's posture was better than before.Since Gu Jin lived in Meiyuan since he was a child, he ordered Li Changji and Huang Bingbiao to guard the gate of the garden, and no one could step in.

Guji Mingwu, June 26 is his birthday.The birthday noodles were very long and unbreakable. Holding his breath and eyes wide open, Gu Ji concentrated on eating the noodles.The eight people watched, and after a short while, their palms were sweating. When the bowl bottomed out, there was a sound of breathing out together. Gu Ji thought it was amused, and smiled lightly.

"Why are you more nervous than the birthday star?"

There was another stagnation around, and Fang Gu took out his birthday gift first because of Yao'er's wonderfulness.

"Thank you mother."

Gu Ji received the engraved hibiscus and suet jade pendant from his mother, and Gu Ji was full of gratitude. His elder brother gave him a guzheng, Gu Ran gave him an expensive pen washer, Gu Jun gave him a jade flute, and Gu Yun wrote a poem.

Fangwai Creek Road, beautiful and deep, dreaming to be dyed, old age as a pestle, leisurely chanting dew, brilliance contending for the sun, lingering in the soul, waiting for the eye-catching.

Gu Jin gave only a ten tael silver note, the scene was a bit awkward, Aunt Qin immediately took out the beautiful thin summer shoes to make things right.When Gu Qiaoer handed over the flat thin grasshopper made of vanilla leaves to Gu Ji, she raised her fat face, frowned silkworm eyebrows, and said angrily.

"Brother Guji, this is already the best grasshopper."

Annoyed by Chu Meng, he took Qiaoer to her lap, and Gu Ji kissed her forehead.

"Well, brother also likes this grasshopper the most."

The banquet is only held in the mansion, and the servants also prepare small gifts. The women all give Yingluo, purses, purses, silk and other embroidered items.Men all send pens, ink, paper and inkstone books.

Qingqiu bought a roast suckling pig for two taels of silver.

In the middle of the night, on the stone table in Meiyuan, the seven people of Guji were eating extra meals. After eating the roast suckling pig, the seven people went back to their rooms to rest.

The lightning is fierce, the thunderstorm is near and far away, the pouring rain is rinsing the plum leaves, and a line of water on the tip of the leaves is rushing and hazy.It has been five months since he traveled through time, not to mention leaving the mansion, it is difficult to leave the garden, and what his father did to protect him is comparable to guarding against thieves.Except for the wing room, study room, latrine, anywhere, Li Changji and Huang Bingbiao always have someone staring at him, so no one knows about his soul wear.But if things go on like this, he still doesn't have the freedom of a boudoir daughter, which he can't bear.

It has been nearly half a year since they traveled south, and the three Guran brothers are going back to Beijing for the reunion festival.Early in the morning, the three bid farewell to Gu Jin in the study of Luming Yuan.

Gu Jin allowed Gu Liang to take the three of them to Meiyuan to see Gu Ji, but Gu Liang couldn't laugh or cry, but Gu Yun and the three were very happy.

Mei Yuan, upon hearing this, Gu Ji ran out of the study with sandals made of vanilla, and when they passed by Li Changji and Huang Bingbiao, they both stared.In front of the garden gate, the four of them did not raise their heads for a long time.

The fish-eye-like toenails are covered with round toes, and a mantle extends to the instep of the fleshy ball. They are really double high-arch suet jade feet. The soles of the straw sandals are simple and exquisite, as if they can smell a light fragrance.

"Why are you wearing a pair of rotten sandals?!"

Gu Liang came back to his senses, stared at the man, very angry.

"Sandals are just right for summer."

Googie explained.

"It's okay, my brother. Don't do this again next time. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it through my aunt's place, and my second cousin will also be angry."

"What Gu Liang said is correct. Although it is very hot, you can't expose your feet like this, it will hinder the view."

Gu Ran is very divided into concubines, he will be true to what Gu Liang said, and what Gu Ji said is not in line with the education of the family.

Gu Yun didn't say a word, he squatted down, looked at Yuzu with his head tilted left and right, and muttered something.

"This trip is not false, this trip is not false!"

Gu Ji was not afraid of what the first three people said, but Gu Yun's frivolous behavior made him very embarrassed. He is a man, a pure man!

"My three brothers will return early tomorrow morning, and they are here to say hello. Gu Ji must also take care of himself."

Gu Jun kicked Gu Yun's ass and made a relief.

"Gu Dun, go to the underground kiln to get dried roasted bird meat."

Gu Ji took three catties of heavy jerky and handed it to Gu Jun.Gu Yun had already got up and stood up, and he snatched the cloth bag from Gu Jun.

"That's all that's left. Safe travels."

In the ancient mansion of Caoying County, Gu Liang sent Gu Ran's three brothers away. The four of them talked and laughed along the way, looking straight at the Chenghe Wharf. The three of Gu Ran boarded a boat and went away.

Depressed in the middle of the night, getting up early in the morning, Gu Ji is alive and well again, around the stone table in Meilin, everyone is idle, Caiyue and Caixia are learning to read and count, Gu Dun and Li Changji are practicing calligraphy, Huang Bingbiao kept vigil yesterday, and used Maofan go to bed.Qingqiu reads the biography of "You Fengxia" on the plum tree. The book is thick and costs [-] Wen. He has been reading it for two months.

In the past six months, except for the master and son, the six people in Meiyuan have been able to read and write.Guji has prepared several books of accounts, and he continues to teach the six people to keep accounts.There is no plan yet, so he can't be blamed for it. He has no money and can't go out. Even if he smashes the sky on his head, it's useless.

On weekdays, everything is as usual. In the afternoon, Gu Ji is still hiding in the study to "practice pens". The rice paper is too big, and he is not used to it, so he has to cut it smaller.

At the beginning of August, the autumn air is crisp.Perhaps it was the conscience of the two masters in the mansion who made Gu Liang take Gu Ji out for a walk. The so-called walk was nothing more than going to Zhuyang Zhuangzi fifty miles away in the suburbs of the county to collect rent.

The servant Gu Shao drove the carriage to a nearby township market, and Gu Hai got off the carriage and bought a large piece of meat.

Zhuyang Zhuangzi was the dowry passed down by Fang Ru's grandmother, with a total of [-] mu of land. Five days ago, the autumn harvest had ended, and the fields were full of rice piles.On the ridge, peanut vines and sweet potato vines have been shaken to the brim.The outside of the three courtyards are all tree-stacked haystacks, and the inside are full of farmhouses, pigpens, storage warehouses, and warehouses.

Outside the farmhouse, the chickens and ducks are swaggering, and there are three or five fat pigs lying and humming in each circle.Sun-dried grains, sweet potatoes, and peanuts are piled up in various warehouses.The warehouse is full of more than a dozen farm tools such as baskets, baskets, sieves, brooms, baskets, dustpans, baskets, dustpans, burdens, large and small hoes, sickles, and dung buckets.

The long-term and short-term workers heard that the boss was coming, so they all returned home, washed their hands and feet, and rushed to the main courtyard. When they entered the hospital, they saw the housekeeper Gu Hai, the eldest son Gu Liang, and a boy with a sallow complexion. The boy was peeling peanuts to eat. Check accounts.

For lunch, Mrs. Fan steamed a duck, stewed a chicken, and fried five side dishes, which seemed to have no seasoning, and the taste was bland and fishy. Two balls of rice.

Gu Hai didn't seem to see any meat. He ate half of the steamed duck, drank half a bowl of chicken soup, and swallowed a whole bowl of rice.Gu Liang drank a bowl of chicken soup, ate a duck leg, two pieces of preserved meat, a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks and a big bowl of rice.

Gu Ji was very hungry, so he ate peanuts tightly, peeled a large pile of peanut shells, and put a plate full of peanuts on the table. Gu Ji asked Gu Liang for convenience, and he was leaving the hospital to play.
