Li Er took his wife and daughter, and his son-in-law Han Chengjiang, to visit the Hualing Dynasty in the north of Luzhou, Beiju. This was the first time the two families had visited relatives since they got married.
The woman got off the carriage and went to a place called Qiaozi Lane, which was wider than the main street. When she saw her son-in-law's mansion, she began to feel uneasy before she even crossed the high threshold.
, I don’t know where to put my two hands.
The son-in-law had previously told about the origin of this Qiao Zi Lane, about the tall trees rising up and the catalpa trees bending down, and some other truths. The woman didn’t understand it, so she didn’t take it too seriously. She just waited until she heard about it.
The entire alley belonged to the Han family, and according to the Han family's ancestral motto, no one could separate the family. This made the woman stunned. The son-in-law's family was too rich. There was such a long alley, and everyone had the surname Han? Just a year's worth of food.
Money is not a small sum of money, right?
Just saying that there was a gold-lettered plaque as big as the door, plus the two squatting white jade lions that were taller than a person, had already given the woman a solid warning. When she entered the house, she was bending around.
She was so dizzy that she didn't bite any chicken or dog shit along the way, and she didn't even dare to spit. The woman pinched the man's waist hard. The man turned around and grinned, then reached out to hold her hand.
The woman hurriedly slapped it away. She is an old married woman and she is not ashamed. What if the scholars here see her and look down on us Huaizi?
The woman had to pinch her arm lightly. It hurt. It was not a dream.
Previously, I took my daughter and son-in-law back to my hometown town together. We were also living in a relative's house, and the woman dared to criticize the sister-in-law who was in charge of the cooking for her poor cooking skills. Now that she was at her son-in-law's house, she was so angry that she didn't even dare to take a breath.
In fact, the woman had known for a long time that her son-in-law came from a good family, a so-called wealthy family, and a well-educated family. But how could the woman have imagined that the threshold of her son-in-law's family would be so high? It was something she never dared to dream about.
Now that her daughter is married, she is still the same and boring. Li Liu has had this temper since she was a child. She is not generous and has no choice. Her temper is just like her father's. It's a good thing that her daughter's appearance and figure follow her, otherwise she would probably be unmarriageable now.
The old girl is out.
My own man, on the other hand, usually doesn't show the virtue of being beaten with a stick without making a loud fart. He never thinks about the critical moment, but he can still control the situation. He doesn't get frightened when he meets anyone, and he doesn't talk much. He keeps a straight face and nods.
, indeed more calm than herself. This made the woman feel a little more at ease, but she couldn't help but remind the man softly, Li Er, that's it, talk less, anyway, don't embarrass Huaizi, otherwise I will get angry with you.
Make a bed on the floor at night.
Li Er grinned and nodded.
The woman quickly glared, saying she was a coward.
Han Chengjiang hurriedly smiled and said: "Mother-in-law, don't be so formal, just treat it as your own home."
In fact, the mother-in-law was nervous, and Han Chengjiang was even more nervous. He just didn't show it on his face. He was afraid that the red tape in the family would make his wife and family uncomfortable.
So on the way back home, Han Chengjiang sent two letters back to Qiaozi Lane in Jiang County, reminding the family that etiquette is indispensable, and at the same time trying not to stir up trouble. If grandpa hadn't personally replied to a letter, he would have asked him to do this
Don't worry, Sun Tzu, otherwise Han Chengjiang will be able to write another letter.
The woman's voice was like a mosquito, and she said cautiously: "Chengjiang, I heard that you are the eldest son and grandson, and your family has a big business, so there must be many rules. Our family is different. We are small families who are used to being poor. Liu'er is also a boring gourd, so...
I’m afraid I’ll embarrass you.”
In my hometown of Huaihuang County and the small town at the foot of Lion Peak, if there are even a little more people in the house, there will be a fight over it. Why should the Han family, such a wealthy family, not be killed?
After staying in the Han Mansion for a few days, I found out that my son Li Huai was a wise man from the Cliff Academy in Sui Dynasty. This was the best thing the woman could do.
As a result, when I got here, I found out that my son-in-law's family, the deputy head of the academy, were so many gentlemen and sages that I couldn't count them on one hand.
The woman really couldn't stay any longer and couldn't get used to it. She was afraid of making a joke and making a fool of herself. At that banquet, she didn't know where to put her chopsticks when she was eating rice or picking vegetables.
Fortunately, Han Chengjiang's grandfather, Mr. Han, was very amiable. He used to be an official in the capital. When he got older, he retired and returned to his hometown. At the banquet, he didn't have any airs of an official, and he let the woman give birth to him.
I have an illusion that you, the Han family in Qiaozi Lane, owe our family money?
I heard that Han Chengjiang's parents are on their way to Jiangxian County now, because Han Chengjiang's father is also a Beijing official and needs to take leave from the imperial court when he returns home.
Han Chengjiang's father was the chief minister of the Hualing Dynasty.
And this old man Han happened to be the first minister and had been the prime minister of a country for nearly forty years. He was a well-deserved leader of the ministers.
The personnel and military departments of the Hualing Dynasty were always either named Han or were disciples of the Han family in Wuzhi.
The woman thought that after meeting her in-laws, she went to the small town shop at the foot of Lion Peak as soon as possible. It would be more comfortable there, where she could hear chickens crowing and dogs barking, and she could talk louder, but who cares.
It's not like here, where the maids and servants walk without making a sound. Even those big boys, when they see them in the house, they will learn how to bow like the master one by one. Maybe this is called being knowledgeable and sensible.
In a study room with floor coverings, Mr. Han, who is nearly a hundred years old but still energetic, looks at his grandson and granddaughter-in-law. The old man smiles kindly and is very pleased.
Han Chengjiang was actually a Qi practitioner in the Lower Five Realms. He was on the path of spiritual practice by accident. He had no intention of doing so. He spent three days fishing and two days drying nets. He had no interest in the so-called enlightenment and immortality.
Mr. Han looked kindly, looked at the weak-looking woman, and asked with a smile: "Are you still getting used to living here?"
Li Liu smiled and said: "I'm okay, but my mother is not used to it."
Mr. Han nodded and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Outside the county town, the Han family has a mountain property. Let Chengjiang take you to live there. It's no different from the countryside."
Li Liu thanked him.
As the head of the Han family in Wuju, Mr. Han is of course very well-informed about the information. Moreover, Li Er and Shizifeng didn't hide much from them, so they had a general knowledge of this family.
Lion Peak Li Er is a martial artist who has stopped. In fact, he is not a native of Luzhou in Beiju. He comes from Lizhu Cave in Aquarius Continent. But today, not many immortals on Luzhou Mountain in Beiju know about this.
I heard that the old man Wang Fushu once went to the foot of Lion Peak, where he was beaten by Li Er, and then discussed matters at Yuanyangzhu in the Confucian Temple. At the end of the mountain, warriors gathered together for fishing. Wang Fushu seemed to have told people
Li Er's boxing skills are actually average and not heavy.
The Hualing Dynasty in Luzhou in the north is similar to the Dayuan Lu Dynasty in the central part. They are both large countries with great national power. They are also one of the few dynasties whose temples at the foot of the mountain can manage the immortal mansion on the mountain. You must know that this is in the north.
Ju Luzhou, and this family ancestral hall is located in Wuzhi Han family in Jiangxian County, Quwo County. In the Hualing Dynasty, it has always been nicknamed the "Tai Shang Huang". In history, there are more than a hundred people with the posthumous titles of "Wen" and "Wu"
There are a considerable number of Han sages who deserve to enjoy the Ancestral Temple.
However, as the eldest grandson of the Han family, Han Chengjiang was already in his forties, but he still had no achievements in the temple. As an official, he only became a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, and then studied for five or six years, and simply resigned a few years ago.
Previously, during the Hualing Dynasty, the Hualing Dynasty began to compile a large volume of works. The Hanlin Academy's bachelor's degree, who served as the chief official, recommended Han Chengjiang, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, as the chief editor.
Mr. Han asked: "What are you doing now?"
Over the years, Han Chengjiang has been traveling abroad, and his grandfather and grandson have only met each other a handful of times.
Han Chengjiang, who was sitting upright, replied respectfully: "We are compiling two books, tentatively titled "Hundred Schools of Miscellaneous Notes" and "Warning Statements and Lianbi"."
Han Chengjiang's reading was very complex. He classified the prefaces and postscripts, edicts, biographies, memorials, memorials, etc. that he read in the process of reading into categories, transcribed and organized them. Whenever he encountered the wise words and aphorisms of the sages, regardless of ancient and modern times, he would jot them down casually, and Han Chengjiang would write them down again and again.
In addition, these sentences were picked out separately and divided into ten categories such as scholarship, preservation, life and literary matters, which were clearly divided and compiled into a volume.
Mr. Han nodded with a smile, "That is similar to the "Gu Wen Guan Zhi" selected by Liang Wu, and the "Zui Gu Tang Sword Sweep" by Lu Xiangke."
Han Chengjiang said: "It's just picking on others' wisdom."
Mr. Han waved his hand and said: "If these two books are well done, they can be regarded as a treasure raft for becoming a person and a ladder for saints and sages. Come back and show me the draft to help you check it. If I can engrave a book in the future,
Just remember to use a pseudonym."
Han Chengjiang agreed.
The old man suddenly smiled and said: "Li Liu, Chengjiang is good at calligraphy, the Spring Festival couplets over there at the ancestral home in Huaihuang County?"
His grandson Han Chengjiang's calligraphy was indeed very skillful and highly favored by the emperor today. Therefore, every time the Hualing Dynasty had an imperial tablet, Han Chengjiang would definitely be asked to write. Before he became the editor-in-chief, even the name of His Majesty's study was written.
It's all Han Chengjiang's handiwork.
Han Chengjiang is recognized as a young prodigy. At a young age, he got the first place in the second class. Rumor has it that this was because Han Shoufu used the reason that "the son of an official should not take the lead in the world's poor men" and took the initiative to request that his eldest son, Han Chengjiang, be lowered in the imperial examination.
Rank. Therefore, the Chief Minister of Han returned to his hometown to pay homage to his ancestors, and especially needed to see his relatives. His Majesty the Emperor gave him a jade Ruyi, which means "everything goes well during his trip to Beijing." In addition, he also gave hundreds of unique books to the inner palace.
Yu, of course, is specially given to Han Chengjiang.
Li Liu smiled and said: "The Spring Festival couplets and the word "Fu" were both written by my brother."
Speak without restraint and be straightforward.
Mr. Han was speechless when he heard this.
Han Chengjiang couldn't help laughing when he saw this unusual expression on his grandfather's face.
Li Liu glanced at the plaque on the study room and felt ashamed.
It is taken from Yasheng's phrase "You should look up to heaven and be worthy of others", and it also echoes the Qiao Zi Lane at the door.
There is a couplet hanging on the wall with iron paintings and silver hooks.
The wind blows and the sea stands, and there is dragon energy in the scabbard.
The clouds hug the mountains, and everything outside the wine glass is like a feather.
Han Chengjiang laughed softly and said: "Grandpa actually doesn't like drinking, he just likes this couplet."
When my grandfather was young, he participated in the battlefield. He served in the army for more than ten years and was a famous Confucian general.
Therefore, Mr. Han, the chief minister, later made a strange remark in the officialdom.
