It seems that I am still too full [travel]

Xie Family Farm, inside the Nursing Home.

Zhou's hands moved neatly, shuttled the needle and thread, and in a blink of an eye he sewed up a piece of clothing with holes, bit the thread with his teeth, and carefully smoothed the corners of the clothes with his hands, folded them and put them in the basket. There are several sewn garments.

Sitting next to her were several women who sewed and mended like her. One of the old women suddenly stopped what she was doing and said to the others: "Listen, the dolls are reciting books again."

The other women also stopped following her movement, and the sun shone on the women who were sewing in the courtyard. Most of them were not young, and their calm and simple faces were focused, holding their breath, listening to the sound coming from not far ahead. There were bursts of immature reading sounds from the bookstore.

An old woman with a scar on her face suddenly said: "It sounds so good, I don't get tired of listening to it every day."

Another younger woman said with a smile: "My boy is also in there. He also recites books when he gets home after school. Although we don't understand what he is reading, we just love to listen. Let's put it aside, this is a kid from a rich family." Only those who can afford to go to the school, read the books of the sages, and now thanks to the blessing of our owner, the children of our poor families can also go to private schools."

The old woman who was the first to speak put down the things in her hands, put her hands together, with a pious expression, and said silently: "Buddha bless the owner of the village to live a long life..."

Zhou, who had been doing things in silence all this time, suddenly said: "Today the children should recite the second half of the Three Character Classic."

The others are illiterate women, and they only think the sound of children reading is pleasant, especially if there are children in the family who can go to school, it is even more like the sound of nature, but they can't tell what book they are reading. Hearing what Mrs. Zhou said, they were all surprised that Mrs. Zhou was literate!

Mrs. Zhou said shyly: "When my mother taught me how to read, she read the "San Zi Jing", so I can recognize a few characters."

Someone asked: "Sister Zhou, I remember that your daughter is more than three years old. When she is older, will she still be sent to school?"

Mrs. Zhou nodded a little embarrassedly, "If I can go, I will go."

The others all laughed and said, "Of course I can go. The owner has already said that both male and female children can go to school, and they must go. Driven out of the farm!"

"Hey! Who is so stupid? Now that the owner is protecting us, we have food, drink and shelter. We just need to work honestly every day. Where can we find such a good life! Let me tell you, we are lost now. Once you enter Fuwo, you have to listen to the owner's words carefully, and send all the children who should be sent to school!"

"That's right, we only met a kind person like the owner of the village after burning high incense. He is willing to pay for his master to enlighten our baby."

Although Mrs. Zhou didn't speak, she nodded in her heart. When Ah Ping reached the age where she could go to school, she would let her go to school no matter what she said.

"Mother~Mother~" The childish cry of a little girl came from outside, and Mrs. Zhou hurriedly responded: "A Ping, Mother is here!"

Not long after, a tightly wrapped girl with three heads ran excitedly from outside, holding a bouquet of wild flowers picked by the roadside in her hand. She held it up high and handed it to Mrs. Zhou. , softly said: "Mother, this is the beautiful Huahua I found outside, can you give it to the owner for me?"

When the women around heard this, they all praised: "Ping is such a good boy! You are only so old, you will know who saved her and be kind to her."

A Ping was a little shy after being praised, she twisted her small body and hid behind Mrs Zhou, Mrs Zhou gently patted her daughter's back, touched it, and felt relieved when she found that her back was not sweating from playing, she said softly to her daughter Said: "Mother will help you put it away, and when the owner of the villa comes next time, you will give it to him with your own hands."

A Ping nodded heavily, she is not afraid of such a beautiful and gentle person, the owner, but worried that the owner doesn’t like this kind of flowers, if she doesn’t look for other flowers and send them together, there will always be one that is the owner I like it, the little girl thought.

…………

After the beginning of winter, Song Shou and his family lived in Dongcang Academy. Surprisingly, this gentleman didn’t have much other luggage, but he had accumulated tens of thousands of volumes of books, and it took dozens of cars to transport them to the academy. According to him, this is only part of his collection, and most of these books he has read and taken notes.For these books, Han Ji specially opened a library for them, named Qianxi Pavilion, because it is a private collection, it is not open to all students, but those who are approved by Song Shou can naturally enter the book.

For the arrival of this famous Confucianist in the world, the students of the academy are very happy. Every time Mr. Qianxi gives lectures, there will be no empty seats in the lecture hall.Scholars and scholars from the surrounding counties also came one after another, even if they stood and listened to the teacher's teachings, they were satisfied.Even the scholars from the surrounding states heard that Mr. Qianxi had come out of the mountain to teach at Dongcang Academy, and they came all the way to submit their applications to the academy. Vice-Chancellor Cen ushered in another frenzy of applications.

"In the past, there was Zhu Zi giving lectures at Yuelu, and he gathered three thousand disciples. Today, there is a second Song Zifeng who lives in Dongcang, seeking scholars endlessly. Is this the appeal of celebrities? Yu has seen it today, and I have to thank the two gentlemen for helping our academy Promoted the reputation." Outside the door of Meilinzhai's study, as soon as they met, Cen Yu smiled and chatted with Song Shou and Song Xi.

Old Mr. Song Xi has been traveling around for many years, and he has long ignored these false names. He will only caress his beautiful beard and beard, and tease the younger generation, "Boy Cen, you are wrong. Jing Lian is the only one who has made a big name for our academy. When he came, the steps up the mountain were flattened an inch."

Mr. Qianxi is worthy of being a man of low profile and virtue, seeing this flattery, he did not show the slightest complacency, You Ziqian said: "Little friend Gu'an and Song Gong were joking, the name of Dongcang has been around since Mr. Taide It is famous all over the world, so why do you need me as a casual person to promote it?"

A group of people were talking and laughing, and they saw Guanshi Zhou coming out of the study, coming towards them, and saluting: "Gentlemen, if the Patriarch has a request, please come with me."

Qiu Zhi said: "Trouble manager."

Everyone was led into the study and sat down. After tea, Han Ji came out, followed by Qi Tan.Everyone put down their teacups and was about to stand up and salute.

Han Ji waved his sleeves and robes, waved his hands, and said in a deep voice: "You don't need to be polite, I invite you to come today, because I have received a message from Qishui County, and I want to discuss an important matter with you."

Cen Yu frowned: "My lord, has there been a change in the army?"

Han Ji nodded. He casually opened the map in front of the table, pointed at a corner in the northwest of Fuzhou, and said, "The informant came to report, Xu Shouzhen discussed with his subordinates, and planned to gather food and grass troops after the spring, divide the troops into two groups, and go to Jiangxi. , Hunan advance, the first battle is to capture Raozhou."

Everyone gathered around and frowned when they saw the geographical location of Raozhou. Qiu Zhi said: "There are only Xinzhou and Jianning between Raozhou and Fuzhou. Once Raozhou is captured by the Xu army, it will stand in front of the house like a vicious dog. I am in danger!"

Qi Teng nodded, "Now there are mainly two rebellious armies that are causing trouble. Among them, Liu Tong's forces in Yingzhou were blocked by the imperial forces in Luoshan. , with hundreds of thousands of followers, and plundered autumn grain along the way, now that there are many soldiers and fine grain, and their power is greatly increased, I am afraid that once they send troops, they will be able to go to Raozhou! If Raozhou is occupied, Xinzhou is not far away."

Cen Yu immediately said: "Never let Raozhou fall into the hands of Xu Jun!"

Han Ji looked at the two Mr. Song who had not spoken all this time. Song Shou opened his mouth first, and said, "Xu Shouzhen was greedy for the title of emperor, but he came from an unknown person. He dared to proclaim himself emperor against the disbelief of the world. It will inevitably lead to great disaster. Once he expands abroad, he will inevitably be attacked by the court's troops." Attack them together. The ministers thought that the public should hoard grain and grain, train troops and build the city, and when the time comes, they will immediately seize Fuzhou and use it as a base to expand, and they can attack and retreat."

The rest of the people agreed with what Song Shou said, which is actually the same as what Xie Shi said when he was drunk before, "Build walls high, accumulate food widely, and become king slowly". It is the best time for the anti-Mongolian uprising to fight against the Central Plains in groups."

Everyone held their breaths and waited for the Lord to make a decision. Han Ji pondered for a while, and said, "If you want to win Fuzhou with fame, Fuzhou Governor is a good entry point."

Half a month later, Yin Yu, who was enjoying himself while watching operas and listening to music, received a letter from the Han family.As soon as Yu Xian heard what the servant said, he quickly pushed away the two beautiful singing girls on the left and right, took the letter with an excited expression, waved it back to the left and right, and couldn't wait to open it to read.

Since the appointment letter of a county magistrate was issued last time, he has received several thousand taels of silver from the rich and powerful Han family. On the one hand, he was frightened by the power of the Han family in the south, so he didn't dare to act rashly, so he had no choice but to decide to build a good relationship with the Han family for the time being, so as to make more money from it.

However, this letter disappointed the well-planned Yufu Yin, and even frightened him!Yufu Yin, who had read the contents of the letter clearly, was so startled that he sat slumped on the grand master's chair with a panicked expression.But it turned out that Han Ji's letter stated that the Han family had received news that the rebel Xu surnamed Xu, who proclaimed himself emperor in Qishui, plans to attack Xinzhou and Jianning in the spring of next year. By then, Fuzhou and other places will be in danger!

Han Ji also described Xu Jun's military strength and achievements in the letter. In the end, he said that in order to resist the rebels and protect the peace of Fuzhou, as soon as the Han family got the news, they immediately sent someone to report the letter, hoping that the governor of Yufu You can ask the court for help to increase troops to resist the rebels, and the Han family is willing to help Fu Yin.

After receiving this news, the governor of the Yu government was at a critical moment of life, so he didn't even think about it. He immediately put on his official uniform and went to the commander's office to meet Daluhuachi, the Mongolian Chahan Totar, who was in charge of the military forces of the Fuzhou government, until nightfall No one knew what the two of them discussed, but soon a scouting team was ready to leave from the General Military Mansion secretly, and went to Jianning to find out.
