Chapter 50: Stealing leisure in Mingyu Mountain
The mountain road was rugged and the night was low, and the ox cart could no longer move forward halfway. Everyone got off the car and had already walked to the left of the road. More than 20 servants carried wind lights in their hands, illuminating the surrounding area like daytime, with a respectful expression and bent to welcome guests.
Xu You was weak and unable to walk for a long time, so he stepped forward with Zuo Qi's support. This was the first time he came into contact with this kind of thing. In his previous life, he went to Mount Emei and met two porters carrying a slide rod. His thin body, old wrinkles, and half-desire eyes and tone, which made him feel unbearable. He just paid for it but didn't sit on it. However, he met all strong men this time, with hard abdominal muscles that can be bulletproof, but he didn't have so many psychological activities.
These strong men were obviously trained to get up to walk, almost motionless from their waists, maintaining the absolute balance of walking. Baihua was still so cheerful, following her side with a jumping eye. Xu You looked at her side and smiled, "You are a little girl, can you walk on the mountain road? Why don't you go and chase?"
Baihua smiled and raised her head and said, "This is for the distinguished guests. What kind of identity do we slaves do? We dare not overstep our abilities."
"I think my wife treats you very well, so she won't be so strict, right?"
"Mrs. I am grateful for our kindness even if I give up all the money and waters in the lake. But the more this happens, the more we must keep our duties. When we should be naughty, we will naturally not see each other. But when we should be abide by the rules, we must also be more abiding by the rules than others."
Xu You didn't expect that a seemingly careless girl like Baihua would say such words. She squinted her eyes and looked at the mistress in the distance, and chuckled, "You are polite..."
After walking for more than an hour, I turned the winding path and suddenly realized the clearness in front of me. The exquisite green walls and red bricks appeared from the trees and grass that covered the sky. A narrow stone moon gate connected different worlds inside and outside the wall.
"Langjun, this is Mingyuju!"
Xu You walked away, looked at the surrounding scenery, and smiled and said, "The thin bamboo and rattan hung slanted, and the flowers and plants grew wildly. The forest was high and the wind was clear, and the moss was silent. Your husband chose a good place!"
"That's it!" Baihua said proudly: "The Feng Shui here is good. Even the nobles in Wu County want to live here. I don't know how high the price is, but my husband just doesn't let go, hehe!"
Xu You shook his head and laughed. Guo Mian and his three Wushaos were most deficient in the most is A Du, so how could he give up such a Feng Shui treasure land?
After entering Mingyu's residence, he had his own living room arranged. Xu You lived in an independent courtyard, inside and outside. He was sleeping on the side of the autumnal equinox next to him, and Lushuang was placed in the wing room next to him. He Ru Ru was on the left side of the courtyard, and on the right was He Ru, and on the right was Left. There were dozens of other servants and other servants living outside, and they were not allowed to greet him or not.
There was nothing to say that night. The next morning, after breakfast, Xu You politely declined Baihua's invitation to see the waterfall, and asked her to find the twenty people who knew the words and spoke easily. After looking at them one by one, he picked up his pen and wrote a few lines of large words:
The world is mysterious and yellow, and the universe is vast.
The sun and the moon are full, and the city is surrounded by a row.
Cold comes and goes from heat to autumn, harvest comes and hides in winter.
The leap year is formed, and the ruler is divided into Yang.
The clouds rise and the rain leads to the dew turns into frost.
Gold produces Lishui, jade comes out of Kungang.
The sword is called Juque, and the bead is called Luminous Light.
Fruits and nuts, and vegetables are full of mustard and ginger.
The sea is salty and the river is light, and the scales are hidden and the feathers are flying.
...While writing, I paid attention to the expressions of everyone. I saw the third person standing on the left standing on the front row looking at the nib that was running like a flying pen without blinking. My mouth opened slightly, showing an incredible expression. I smiled slightly in my heart, put down my brush, pointed at him and said, "Come on, read these words!"
The third person on the left quickly closed his chest and abdomen, lowered his head and walked to the desk, and read in a low voice: "The world is mysterious and yellow, the universe is vast and vast..."
"Speak louder!"
He was a little nervous, and sweat was flowing out of his forehead, but he cleared his throat and said loudly: "The heaven and earth are mysterious and yellow, and the universe is vast. The sun and the moon are full, and Chen Suli Zhang..."
This person's voice is high and loud, his pronunciation is clear and slightly upside down. If you focus on cultivating it, he will be a good seedling.
Xu You nodded and said, "What's your name?"
"The villain's surname is Zhou, Zhou Qiqiao, and the villagers all call me Qiaodi."
"Brother Qiao... I heard your name, I should be a smart person. What books have you read?" "I have read "Er Ya" and "Mao Shi", and I am now reading "The Book of Gongyang".
Xu You was shocked. The man looked like he was about 30 years old, with an average appearance, black and rough palms, and malnourished yellow and gray cheeks. He should be a poor family. He didn't know how much effort and financial resources had been spent to read "The Legend of the Ram", which made people admire him.
"Yeah, go back!"
Zhou Qiqiao thought he was able to handle it properly, especially his knowledge was outstanding among these twenty people, and he would definitely be praised by noble people. But Xu You remained silent and said "Get off" lightly, which made him feel happy and frustrated, and he didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment.
Next, Xu You clicked a few more people to read the dozens of words extracted from "Thousand Characters"; some people knew all of them, some people knew most of them, and two only knew more than ten. In this way, relying on Zhan's huge network of relationships, they searched for it with all their efforts. Although time is a bit tight and not a real scholar, they can also see how low the literacy rate at that time is.
The two people who read the least literacy were eliminated and Baihua was taken out for settlement. They could not leave this place before the matter was done. However, living here with food and drink and without having to do anything is actually a bad idea.
The remaining eighteen people were divided into three teams, Zhou Qiqiao and the other two smartest people were divided into three team leaders. They sent them paper, pens and table tables, and they all sat cross-legged. Xu You walked back and forth a few steps, stood in front of the hall, and looked around and saw that the huge hall seemed to be a hall examination on the Golden Palace.
He smiled and said, "What are you thinking? Not to mention that there was no imperial examination in this dynasty, there were people sitting in the palace examination, and who are the people sitting here?"
It cannot be said in the same way!
"I dictate and write down the notes, and I will write down as much as I hear them. I don't need to have a correct handwriting, just read it clearly. Do you understand?"
"No!" everyone answered in unison.
Zhou Qiqiao held the pen tightly, and his palms were sweating secretly. He was a person who had read books. Just looking at Xu You's temperament and his current actions, he would definitely be doing something amazing later.
His heart beat violently!
"When it comes to the scenery of West Lake, the scenery is clear. During the Yongguang period of the Han Dynasty, the mountains and rivers were thriving and surging into the West Gate. Suddenly, a deer was seen in the water, and its body was white. The water receded, and the deer followed Tianyun Mountain and was unknown where it was. It motivated the people in Qiantang City to manifest themselves. Therefore, a Taoist temple was established in Tianyun Mountain, called Bailu Temple. At that time, there was a Taoist temple named Suizhen. He came here to travel and play with his mountain scenery and said, "A small peak in front of Kunlun Mountain, suddenly disappeared, and it turned out to be flying here. Everyone did not believe it at that time. The Taoist said, "I remember the peak ridge in front of Kunlun Mountain, called Tongtian Mountain. There was a white ape in this cave, and it was a test of my crying out." As expected, the white ape came out..."
