Crossing the green wheat ears

Accompanied by Xiyuan, Mr. Ye climbed up to the top of the wall step by step, and at the four corners of the wall, Cheng Yi led people to build a turret, which can not only enjoy the scenery, but also give the guards a rest.

Standing on the turret, looking around, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery around Lianhua Village. "It's really colorful and green like a brocade! This view, Jiangnan in the dream will be forgotten." Mr. Ye couldn't help sighing, he is from Jiangnan , Although I was sad because of the events of the year, and refused to go back in my lifetime, my longing for Jiangnan has never diminished because of this.

In the distance and near Lianhua Village, the wild flowers and the broom plum blossoms planted by the villagers bloom colorfully, like colorful ribbons, together with the fruit trees on the roadside, like brocade-studded green borders; and then there are lush and verdant crops , lush forests, dark green, light mung beans, green grass, green apples..., layer upon layer, like a green brocade woven with the best silk threads.

Coupled with the hawks soaring in the blue sky, the white doves whistling in the sky, and the chirping birds among the fluffy grass forests, it is really a beautiful countryside and a beautiful northern scenery.

"Sir, look, isn't our Lianhua Village beautiful?" Xiyuan thief asked.

"Of course, this is what Ye has seen since he came to the north. It's the most beautiful scenery, not inferior to the small bridges and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River." Mr. Ye twisted his long beard and nodded in appreciation.

"Sir, you see: if you live with us and enjoy the beautiful scenery, you only need to step out of the house; if you want to breathe fresh air, you can take a walk in the poplar or pine forest in the morning; Appetites, roadside gardens, fruits and vegetables are readily available..." Xiyuan told Mr. Ye about the beauty of Lianhua Village with his fingers.

"Yes, sir, many talented people come to us to enjoy the beautiful scenery. If you want to recite poems and essays, you will naturally be able to gather sages, and the water is flowing, and you can narrate your feelings." Xiyong is a clever ghost, and he has almost guessed Come out the big brother's intention, and then said.

When Mr. Ye came over, he took a few days off from the county school and accompanied him all the way; at the same time, the other three candidates from Lianhua Village, Xiwei Chengnan Wang Zhu, also put down their busy work and ran over to accompany Mr. Ye; Qiu Yang, who is a scholar in the middle school but has never been successful in the examination, is still persevering, and Wei Cheng, who has returned after joining the army.

The year before last, when Wei Cheng came back, he paid a special visit to Mr. Ye. In the final analysis, if Mr. Ye hadn't given his help back then and found out that Wei Cheng might be in the King Ping's tiger and leopard cavalry, Xiyuan would not have been able to identify the target, and of course he would not have found the target. There will be a meeting between the Yongningguan brothers later, and the two stay together today.

Xiyuan had told Wei Cheng about all of this.Wei Cheng's kindness to his husband is always in his heart.

"Changshan, since you have come back safely, all the previous events are like floating clouds, so you can live the present with peace of mind." At that time, seeing Wei Cheng who returned after five years, Mr. Ye stared at the world in front of him with his eyes that could see through the world. Students, speak with sincerity and sincerity.

Wei Cheng listened and bowed to answer.

Mr. Ye, a well-known Confucianist in the world, Xiyuan and Qiuyang once helped to search for information. Mr. spent nearly ten years of hard work writing "A Study of Dayan's Ancient and Modern Clothing", which was completed last winter.

Xiyuan helped her husband to proofread, and contacted the bookstore to publish it.It is said that just half a year after the book was published, it spread to the capital and the south of the Yangtze River. Those who study knowledge are like treasures.Today, in the Central Plains and the Jiangnan area, because of Mr. Ye's books, there is quite a momentum of Luoyang Zhigui.

After more than 20 years of silence, Mr. Ye once again rose to fame.

Those old Confucian scholars, fondling their husband's new book, remembering what happened back then, couldn't help crying. They hadn't heard from their old acquaintances for many years. They thought that Ye Bu and Ye Zhiyuan had died in the North, but unexpectedly, they devoted themselves to studying knowledge.

Taking a closer look at the whole book, apart from the discussion of learning, there is no mention of each person's experience. Mr. Qinghe's diligent attitude towards learning is not to be praised.

Mr. Zeng's admirers came all the way from the capital or other places just to see him once.

However, Mr. Ye himself does not take it seriously. To him, learning is no longer for fame and fortune, but only for personal interest.As a result, I was not at all tired of the pursuit of the outside world, thanked all the visits, and devoted myself to preparing for the next book "Da Yan Ancient and Modern Che Yu Kao".

Others looked up to his name, but they couldn't get in. These former disciples, how dare they maintain their identities in front of the master?No matter you are a hero, a scholar, even if you are the No. [-] pick, you can't help but become humble in front of such a knowledgeable Xianda like Delong Wangzun.

They stayed with us for two days, but Mr. Ye refused to let them come again. He only ordered everyone to do what they should do. They don't have to let go of their business for him, as long as they have Changguan to accompany them, everyone bowed their heads and obeyed.

Because Xiyong was studying, he had to ask his teacher for advice when he had any questions, so he became a special case.However, apart from Xiyong and his eldest brother accompanying Mr. Li, Lizheng and Cheng Yi from Lianhua Village also climbed up the turret together.

"Well, what Changguan Changfei said is right. The scenery here is superb, and the countryside is quiet and pleasant. If you can read and compose poems here, you will really live up to the elegance of a poet." Hearing what Xiyuan Xiyong said, the gentleman nodded.

"If you are willing, sir, I, Lianhua Village, will welcome you. I can also build a library for you and your students in your favorite place. You can study and teach here with peace of mind." Cheng Yi bowed, only this Those two sentences made his forehead sweat. They were taught by Xiyuan when he was discussing with him yesterday. Cheng Yi memorized them all night and didn't sleep well.

To Mr. Ye, Cheng Yi respected him very much. He didn't know much, and most of them were taught by Cheng Nan after studying. Now that he has become Lizheng, he can use it. Therefore, he has a natural affection for scholars; plus Mr. Ye is also Cheng Nan's mentor. Cheng Nan was able to pass the examination, thanks to Mr.'s teaching, Cheng Yi was grateful; at the same time, Cheng Nan told his father at home that Mr. Ye was quite famous among the scholars in the world. Although Cheng Yi doesn't understand much, but through Cheng Nan's words, he is very clear about one thing, Mr. is a very famous and great person, so he admires him; but such a famous and knowledgeable person is humble and polite, even He is also kind and kind to him, without any arrogance, can't he not be convincing?

Therefore, abandoning what Xiyuan told him, if Mr. Ye didn't mention the benefits of opening a library in Lianhua Village to teach, Cheng Yi himself would welcome it.

"How do you say that?" Mr. Ye asked with a smile, watching the three people in front of him.He just said, Changguan took so much trouble to invite him, not just to enjoy the scenery, there must be tricks in it.

"Ahem," Xi Yuan saw Mr.'s meaningful smile, and knew that he couldn't hide his tricks from him. He was afraid that he would be unhappy, so he felt a little worried, "Sir, you see, our place is so good, you come to us to write Books teach you, every day we can accompany you to walk along the rice fields and ask for poetry and books."

"Yes, sir, that way, I don't need to go to the county school to study, just ask you for advice at home." Xi Yong hastened to add firewood to help his eldest brother encourage his husband.

"Sir, although I am an old man, I heard Cheng Nan usually say that reading must have three realms, the environment is quiet, the people you communicate with are elegant, and the mundane things are far away, um," the rest of Cheng Yi didn't know how to go on, and the scholar Talking can only be suffocated, really not good at it!

"Yes, yes, sir. Only by not being entangled by the world can you concentrate on your studies. Here, we can understand the daily life of the people and enjoy the beautiful scenery. It is a pleasure to open a museum here to teach." Xiyuan hurriedly Answer the words.

"I already know the meaning of Lizheng and Changguan, so why don't you let Ye think twice?" Mr. Ye didn't nod or shake his head, but asked to think about it.

Of course Xiyuan and Cheng Yi didn't dare to force Mr. to make things difficult, so they nodded hastily.

Mr. Ye stayed in Lianhua Village for half a month, and Xiyuan accompanied him, admiring the beauty of lotus flowers and eating lotus delicacies.In addition to accompanying my husband every day, I just think about how to accompany him.

As long as he is with Mr. Ye, he doesn't have so much time to hang out with Wei Cheng, so worry about Wei Cheng!However, he didn't dare to kick Xiyuan. To put it bluntly, Xiyuan might feel bad if he accompanied Wei Cheng, but he didn't dare to accompany Mr. Ye.

In addition to admiration for Mr. Ye, Wei Cheng also has a feeling of gratitude in it. Without Mr. Ye's help back then, he and Xiyuan would not be where they are today. Even if they could get together in the end, they would have to go through a lot of hardships and pains.Therefore, Wei Cheng can only be a "virtuous housemate", take care of the house and coax the children so that Xi Yuan can accompany Mr. without distraction.

Half a month later, Mr. Ye invited his son and several grandchildren and told them about his decision. Mr. Ye agreed to come to Lianhua Village to teach, and asked them to either live in Yansui or come to Lianhua Village, whatever they wanted.

Several people did not have the slightest objection to Mr.'s decision, knowing that Mr.'s decision must be carefully considered. His son, Ye Jiahao, expressed his willingness to come to Lianhua Village with Mr. Yansui, and his eldest son Ye Xin would be in charge of Yansui's side. Mr. nodded agree.

So far, Lianhua Village has decided to build a school for Mr. Ye. On the same day, Xiyuan accompanied Mr. Cheng Yi and Xi Weiweicheng to exchange glasses and drink happily.

Cheng Yi is a straightforward person. After Mr. nodded, he immediately organized manpower and material resources to start the affairs of the school.However, building a school is not the same as building individual houses. Therefore, it was not until the late spring of the second year that the school was fully completed.

The location was chosen by Mr. Ye. He is a great Confucianist in the world, and he is also familiar with "Book of Changes". To put it bluntly, it is also a part of Confucianism.

The address chosen by the husband is four or five miles away from Lianhua Village, and is relatively close to Lianhua Canal. Lianhua Canal is a few hundred meters south of the school, guarding several acres of apricot groves and a canal of blue waves. It is really a good place to go.

What's more, not far from the entrance of the academy is the main road leading to Lianhua Village. The fruit trees on the roadside are full of fruits, and the flowers under the trees are in full bloom. Two miles to the left is a poplar forest, and three miles to the right is a pine forest.

In spring and summer, you can go for a walk in the forest. These trees are at least several decades old, straight up, covering the sky and the sun. The forest has been cleaned up by the villagers, except for wild flowers, weeds, vines and thorns. The path is paved with water-milled blue bricks, so even if you walk in the forest after the summer rain, you will not be "sloppy".In the morning or after the rain, taking a breath of the air in the forest, I feel refreshed and broad-minded.

In autumn, the leaves of the poplar trees turn yellow and rustle down, covering the path in the forest, stepping on it, making a rustling sound, without the cover of leaves, there are many sparse forests, and the afterglow of the sunset reflects the golden leaves, as if walking In the dream forest.

In winter, the poplar trees straighten their branches, stabbing towards the sky, blooming the unyielding stubbornness of life in a world of ice and snow, stepping on the snow "creaking and creaking", breathing the bitter winter air, shuttling in the poplar forest, and experiencing the throbbing of life under the ice , can not help but be full of pride.

If you think the color of the poplar forest is too monotonous, you can go to the pine forest, where it is evergreen all year round. You can pick up pine cones and watch squirrels jumping in the forest. They hid behind the tree together, watching the silly Su Que'er jump into the cage in groups.Or play plowing together, one person pulls the other and sits on it, sweating profusely on the snow path...

In the laughter of the children, watching them catch most of Su Que'er and then let them go, listening to the adults in the family call the children who have forgotten to go home when the sun sets, and feel that life is full of vitality and humanity. beauty of.

The so-called poetic and picturesque and the simple life of the countryside are condensed in one place, and there is no sense of disobedience in such harmony.

Mr. Ye sighed that he had made a wise decision.Although his legs are bad and he seldom goes out of the house in winter, but whenever the weather is mild and sunny and the raging north wind disappears, he can't help but go for a walk in the forest accompanied by his family or students.

Strange to say, life may really lie in sports. Every year when winter comes, Mr. Ye dare not leave the house, but his old cold legs get sick a lot. When he says it hurts, it hurts. When he comes to Lianhua Village, he goes out for a walk when he has nothing to do. On the contrary, there are fewer, besides, the little doctor from the Xi’s family came to treat the husband whenever he had free time, which probably played a big role. The husband likes Changshuo very much. He also often plays chess and chats. My husband likes Changshuo, although he was born in the secular world, but he can still retain his innocence. When we live with him, what I can feel is that apart from hope and beauty, I don’t experience any complexity of human nature.

Of course, with the help of Mr. Ye, Lianhua Village has been built with great effort. In addition to the school where Mr. Ye teaches, there are two other places, one is a library for students to borrow, and the other is Lianhua school.

Most of the books in the library belonged to Mr. Ye. Of course, Xiyuan's family also donated all the books, and there were also books from other scholars near and far.However, after these books were copied by the students, the original books were returned to the original owners.

The books inside can be borrowed by scholars for free, but they cannot be taken away casually. If you need to go home to study, you must leave the relevant name, address, and the certificate issued by the village, and you must pay an appropriate amount of deposit.

There is really no way to do this, because books are still relatively expensive in the Great Yan Kingdom, and they are luxury goods. A book costs a lot of money. If someone really wants to pursue the "book" after seeing it, it will be really troublesome.Therefore, a deposit is still necessary.

Of course, not all scholars have money from their families. Therefore, those students from poor families cannot afford the deposit, nor can they borrow books to study.

According to this, the library stipulates that people can borrow books for free without leaving the library. If they want to take them home but cannot pay the deposit, well, we can provide you with a way to earn the deposit, which is to copy books. The money earned from copying books is calculated according to Yansui's market price, and only when there is enough money can they be borrowed.

In this way, it provides a platform for poor children to study and make money.

Therefore, every day, even in winter, there are many students copying books and reading in front of the desks in the library. In the borrowing room, there is a fire wall, which is very warm. The windows are equipped with glass, so that sunlight can shine in, and the room is warm and bright, because Loud noises are not allowed, the room is filled with only the rustling sound of flipping through books, and there is silence.

If it is too far away from home, there is a house behind the library where you can stay overnight. You can stay and eat after you have reported to others in advance, which is very convenient.If you can't bear the expense of eating, you can bring dry food from home and heat it for free.

On the other side of the library is the Lotus Academy.This school recruits children who want to study in the nearby ten miles and eight towns, and at the same time provides opportunities for the poor children in the school to earn money.

The teachers in the school, recommended by Mr. Ye, can teach the children in the school, and the school pays for them.

However, Xiyuan and Qiuyang, two gentlemen from Lianhua Village School, came to teach the children the courses they were responsible for two days out of every seven days.

Xiyuan mainly taught mathematics, and the Great Yan State emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce. Therefore, although various schools taught some other knowledge, they mainly focused on a subset of classics and history.In Xiyuan's view, not all children can change their lives through the imperial examination. Xiyuan is not ashamed of teaching, and enjoys teaching.

His explanations are in line with the real life of the children, and at the same time, they have activated the children's thinking. There are very few students who come out of the Lotus Academy who are sour.

Qiuyang is mainly responsible for the explanation of the "Three Character Classic" in the three hundred thousand middle schools in Mengxue, and at the same time teaches the children some music theory knowledge. He is kind, he often smiles when he speaks, and he is handsome, which is very popular among the children.

The two of them did not study many courses in Lianhua Village, and they were mainly responsible for the schoolwork of the children in their own village private school. To put it bluntly, they were just guest appearances, but such guest appearances were very popular among the children and their parents. .

For a time, people from far and near selected three people from the Three Scenes of Lotus.

The so-called three sceneries refer to a few acres of apricot blossom forest in a pond of lotus canal;

The so-called three people, one refers to Mr. Ye who has a long robe and beard and walks on the banks of the canal in the forest, and the other refers to two young gentlemen Xiyuan Qiuyang in Lianhua Village.The former is highly respected, while the latter, um, is mainly because of her demeanor and good looks.

To say good-looking, of course it refers to Qiuyang, those eyes, smiling face, and figure in a scholar's robe, reflecting the scenery around the lotus, are simply a picture.

Xiyuan's personal appearance is not high, he is also of average "good looks", but his demeanor is superior, his bookish atmosphere, his calm and calm, refined and indifferent, neither arrogance nor rashness, the so-called "gentlemanship" , After seeing Xiyuan, the abstract text immediately became concrete.

People in the world say that when you come to Lianhua Village, it is not difficult to see the three sceneries, but it is not easy to see the three people.
