Section 6 Reading Seeds

Yun Zheng came to borrow hatchet again. The old patriarch seemed to see Yun Zheng's thoughts, and lent his hatchet to him with a smile, patted him on his shoulder and said, "Young people have the strength. As long as they are willing to work, they will not starve to death. I happened to go to the village chief to have a banquet today and will help you get your household registration. In this way, you will have more or less a small piece of mountain to plant. As long as you are diligent, you will be able to get married and start a business soon."

Yun Zheng thanked the old patriarch and reported his name and Yun Jianqiang's name to the old patriarch. Seeing that the old patriarch was silently reciting memories over and over again, Yun Zheng found a small piece of wooden board, found a carbon black, and wrote the names of his brothers and handed them over to the old patriarch.

"You are literate?" The old patriarch was surprised for the first time. He opened his mouth wide, grabbed the hatchet from Yun Zheng's hand and threw it into the bamboo basket, dragging Yun Zheng to his own bamboo building.

"The Master said, "Isn't it a saying to learn and practice it from time to time? Isn't it a pleasure to have friends coming from afar? Isn't it a gentleman if people don't know it?"

A monk said, "It is rare for a person to be filial and younger, but he likes to offend the superior; there is no such person to be filial and younger, but he likes to cause trouble. A gentleman is concerned about the foundation, and the foundation is established and the way is born. Those who are filial and younger, are the foundation of benevolence!"

Yun Zheng, a big guy like "The Analects of Confucius", still knew it. He was just wondering why the old patriarch had to shake his head when reading this ragged thread-bound book.

Moreover, the old patriarch obviously couldn't understand what he read, but he showed an intoxicating expression like drinking a good wine, and shook his head with him.

He was entangled by the old patriarch for a long time. Seeing the sun climbing to the top of the mountain, Yun Zheng couldn't sit still and bowed to the old patriarch and said, "It's getting late, and I have to go to the mountains to chop wood. You also know that there is no overnight food at home, and you will go hungry if you don't chop wood. The sky is big and the food is the biggest. I'll say goodbye now."

The old patriarch who was rummaging through the cabinet heard Yun Zheng's words and laughed loudly. He walked to Yun Ye with a big bag in his arms and opened the bag with cherishing it. He didn't know what was inside, and it actually wrapped several layers of printed blue cloth.

When the last layer of blue cloth was opened, Yun Zheng said in surprise. There were no treasures in the bag. There were only a few thread-bound books with rolled up at the corners. The one on the top and the worst one. It was actually a "Tongshu". The so-called "Tongshu" is the almanac. The ancients used this book to determine farming, hunting, traveling far away, marriage and funerals. Yun Zheng picked it up and flirted with two pages, found the corresponding time recently, and said to the old patriarch with a smile: "Today is an auspicious day, suitable for banquets, marriages, and praying for blessings. The only disadvantage is that there is a disaster of financial loss. You are always careful."

Yun Zheng used this sentence as a joke to the old patriarch, and he never believed in these things.

Unexpectedly, the old patriarch jumped up and pointed to the mountain in the north and said a long paragraph in local dialect. He looked very excited. As a good player to observe words and expressions, Yun Zheng felt anger from his obvious oppressive aura. The old guy was cursing! As for whom Yun Ye was scolding, he was not scolding himself anyway.

The old patriarch cursed for a while before he calmed down. Yun Zheng poured a glass of water from the clay pot next to him and brought it to the old patriarch for him to drink water to quench his breath.

"The heart is getting dark. The old guy will marry his daughter-in-law today. He will naturally choose a good day for banquets, blessings and marriage. For us, it is a day of great wealth loss, or it is better for the book. In the future, you have to listen to everything in the book. If anyone in the village dares to do whatever he wants, I will discount his legs. I will say, "After so many years, I have raised all the girls in the village, which is caused by their random life."

Yun Zheng's eyes began to have mosquito coils. No matter what, he couldn't figure out why he didn't live according to the book, and why he had to have a boy or a girl.

"Baby, you will stay in the village from now on and study for everyone every day. As for the food you and your brother, every household in the village will have you food if you eat less. You are a scholar, so you can read these books well. If you can get a good fortune, our whole village will benefit from it. A child born in Guangling Village in Nanshan was born. The old man named Zhou actually performed in the village for three days, and the scenery was so beautiful.

Grandpa, I also want to hire a shadow puppet troupe. The young people in the village are not strong enough. They are good at hunting on the mountain, but they have to read and read, and they all become sticks. The young people who can kill tigers will tremble when they pick up the pen. They can't draw a circle for a long time, which makes me angry.

Yun Zheng's shoulders were slapped by the old guy, and what else can I say? In one day, I turned from a younger child to a kid, and then from a kid to a kid. The old guy has become a grandfather. How could the grandson have something else to say, let alone this grandson is still worried about what to eat tomorrow. In this state, the other person's grandfather is determined.

"Grandpa, the clan leader, it's okay for a boy to study. I guess it's not a big problem to take a boy to take the exam. Just give him a boy a year or two to ensure that he can get you a boy back from the county. If there are more books to be read by the boy, it shouldn't be difficult to get a scholar back in three years."

Yun Zheng didn't believe it anymore. His dignified liberal arts graduate had no easier time than the exam now. He was also a powerful academic master who emerged from thousands of troops. It would not be too difficult to get a child student who is equivalent to a junior high school student now.

Yun Zheng's words made the old man cry. He grabbed Yun Zheng's hand and said, "Good doll, good doll, grandpa doesn't want you to stay in the village all your life. As long as you can write your hometown on the paper as Dousha County, grandpa in Dousha Village will be satisfied. When he dies in the future, he will have something to say.

You are the seed of studying, and your younger brother is also a smart child. You brothers study hard, and even if you sell the money in the village, you will be offered up. From now on, you will be the children in the village and you will say this to everyone."

The old man cried so hard, but his last sentence was so harsh that he could not tolerate Yun Zheng's disobedience. This may be the majesty of the parents.

Yun Zheng was afraid that others would ask about his origin. Now, the old clan leader has issued this closure order. I guess no one dares to disobey it. The Song Dynasty is still a clan society. The old clan leader absolutely has supreme rights in the clan. His words are more effective than strict punishment and law. He said that the Yun Zheng brothers are children in the village, so the two brothers are from Dousha Village, and even the belts and bones are from Dousha Village. Those who dare to ask questions will usually be put in a pig cage and thrown into a pool by the old clan leader. It sounds cruel, but this right continues until the end of the feudal dynasty.

The old patriarch wanted to completely erase the shadows of the Yun Zheng brothers before. In the eyes of the old patriarch, they were all children. As long as everyone kept telling him that he was a child from Dousha Village, he would become a member of Dousha Village over time.
