Fang Yun stepped into the door, strode over, and knelt down in front of Liu Zhengxun: "My grandson has met grandpa."
Liu Zhengxun was startled at first, and then he heard Fang Yun's voice, and immediately smiled. He stood up from the wooden chair and walked over:
"Yun'er, you're here."
The old man looked very happy, and even his prim face softened a lot. Although he was pulled away by Fang Yunding because of Fang Lin's incident, now, Liu Zhengxun is very fond of this grandson who contradicted him. It was a kind of discovery.
Joy from within.
Liu Zhengxun gave birth to two children, one became a businessman, and the other married a military commander despite his objections. This was undoubtedly a betrayal and disappointment to his family background for Liu Zhengxun, who regarded himself as a family of poetry, etiquette, and moral articles.
The only person who can provide some comfort to the old man is probably Fang Yun. Fang Yun was born in a school, and his poems and articles are as good as those of some great scholars. Even Liu Zhengxun himself came up with the topic, but it couldn't stump him. Even the three princes appreciated him.
Liu Zhengxun can be said to be a great comfort to his old age. This is the greatest comfort for him in his later years. It is also a relief for the entire Liu family, which has inherited the Confucian bloodline from generation to generation. Although Fang Yun is not a pure Confucian scholar, he still has many Confucian names.
.But for the elderly, they don’t care much about this anymore.
The titles of military commanders are fictitious, and the Confucian cultural cultivation in the heart is real. Fang Yun undoubtedly has this, and this is the most important thing.
The old man helped Fang Yun up with both hands:
"Come! Let my husband take a look. I haven't seen you for a long time. Let's see if you have grown taller. I heard that your mother wants to find a wife for you. Grandpa will not want anyone who is not good at poetry and etiquette."
Liu Zhengxun smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed. At this time, he was just an ordinary, decrepit old man.
"Grandpa, how come you know about this!"
Fang Yun couldn't laugh or cry.
"Haha! How can I, a grandfather, not care about my grandson's choice of his wife? - Your mother told me a few days ago that your father seems to have arranged a marriage for you. After all, you are not young anymore.
It is human ethics for a male to be in charge of the family and a female to get married. It’s time for you to get married too.”
Liu Zhengxun smiled.
"I understand. When I have a child in the future, I will leave him to you. Let him study with you, grandpa."
Fang Yun chuckled. Only he could say such words in front of Liu Zhengxun. Even Mrs. Huayang would not dare. The majesty of the old man has been deeply implanted in the souls of his children.
"Haha, that would be the best. My husband is looking forward to this day."
The old man laughed heartily and was very happy. He only talked about this matter:
"Come! Let's go out. Grandpa is very happy today. Let's drink some wine and talk together."
Liu Zhengxun took Fang Yun's hand and walked to the main hall.
After a while, someone warmed the wine, put it in a bottle and put it in a hot water tank. They also served some side dishes.
Confucianism is not taboo on drinking. Confucian celebrities have always emphasized "appreciating bamboo, admiring snow, cooking wine and admiring plum blossoms." Although drinking is not taboo, Confucianism also has a saying about drinking and having sex. Everything has a degree, and all Confucian wines
They are all very clear. And they only drink it when they are very happy or when many people are in high spirits. It is not like ordinary people who drink it as part of their daily life.
Confucian wine is only drunk at certain times. It is just for fun. It is rarely used for ordinary things and is almost never drunk.
The dishes are ordinary, but the wine is very fragrant. It has the smell of plum blossoms. Confucian wine is brewed with snow water in winter, dew on bamboo in the morning, plum blossoms and glutinous rice. It tastes very good, but the reserve is not much. It lasts a year.
That is, a jar.
"Come! Let me test you to see if you have put aside your knowledge during these years of fighting."
After three drinks, Liu Zhengxun suddenly became more interested.
Fang Yun smiled: "Grandpa, what do you want to take the test?"
"Let's start with poetry."
Liu Zhengxun smiled.
At the moment, the grandfather and grandson, one older and the other younger, started to make jokes while drinking. The old man was very tricky, but Fang Yun was very good at making mistakes. Every time they talked about each other, the old man always laughed heartily, attracting the attention of those around him.
All the servants came to watch.
After a meal of wine, the grandfather and grandson were enjoying themselves happily, without any estrangement at all.
Fang Yun's flattery naturally made the old man very happy. Unknowingly, it was already evening. Fang Yun looked at the sky and finally said what he meant:
"Husband, it may be a little cold this winter. Mother wants you to come over and let's stay together."
Fang Yun said cautiously.
Liu Zhengxun remained silent. Staying up late on New Year's Eve is fake, but inviting him to live together is real. How could a person like him not see that?
Fang Yun held his breath and did not dare to speak. He just waited quietly for the old man's reply. He was not sure about this matter. In a short moment, this moment felt like a long century. In Fang Yun's mind for a long time
I couldn't wait for a reply, and just when I thought my grandpa was going to refuse, I suddenly heard an extremely unexpected voice:
"Well. You go back and tell your mother that I will come over when the time comes."
"real!!"
Fang Yun was overjoyed, and his heart shook violently. He raised his head suspiciously, but was greeted by his grandfather's affirmative nod.
"Great! I'll go back and tell my mother to make her happy."
Fang Yun stood up.
"Um."
Liu Zhengxun nodded: "It's getting late, you can go back."
When Fang Yun returned to Sifang Hou Mansion, as expected, Mrs. Huayang was surprised and very excited after hearing the news.
"Quickly, let the people in the house prepare it. My father is very particular about etiquette. He must arrange it early without making any mistakes... He must make him happy... happy..."
Mrs. Huayang was a little incoherent. Her eyes were filled with tears of excitement. This is the mood of a daughter when her long-cherished wish comes true.
"Mom, I'll send you to inform your uncle."
Fang Yun reminded.
"Ah! Yes, Yun'er, you are very thoughtful. You must inform your uncle!"
Mrs. Huayang woke up suddenly.
The entire Fang Mansion suddenly became busy.
Time passed slowly, and a few days later, Fang Lin rushed back from the border. Naturally, the two brothers couldn't help but have a long talk. After that, the weather became colder and colder.
In such cold weather, the armor sticks to the body and is very uncomfortable. Therefore, in the "Battle of Wilderness", the soldiers used strange tactics. At other times, the court did not use troops.
Moreover, after winter comes, it is the time to celebrate the New Year. Families with large households must keep the New Year's greetings. Families with small households must also prepare New Year's goods. It is the same not only in China, but also in all regions.
All in all, winter is basically a period of truce. Even if there is, there will be small-scale friction.
After the Confucian Tribulation, the world experienced a lot of turmoil, and the people also needed this time to buffer and stabilize their hearts. Therefore, Wu Mu also took the unprecedented step of recruiting all the troops from all over the world and retreated to the city.
The materials stored by the imperial court are constantly sent to all parties. Winter clothes and livestock are necessary. This is also a reward for the army.
This is a season of stability, and the court needs this kind of stability. Especially after experiencing such a big setback, it is even more needed!
After the more than 10 million soldiers of the imperial court retreated, each wilderness also breathed a sigh of relief. Each of them relaxed the war and prepared to spend this winter in peace and contentment. Each wilderness was born poor and needed to prepare far more supplies than in the middle-earth.
Under the influence of the truce atmosphere between the imperial court and the border areas, various sects were also affected. Each mountain gate became quiet.
Too many things happened this year. The Tianxie Sect was destroyed, the Wanxiang Sect was destroyed, the Zhonggu Alliance was destroyed, the Great Divine Power List was revealed... many sects need to calm down and think about it carefully. At the same time, for the next year,
Be fully prepared.
Whether you want to stay out of trouble or want to get back on your feet, many people and powerful people need to be well prepared to seek benefits in this turbulent world.
On December 7th, the weather suddenly became cold, and then thousands of miles of white hair covered the land of Shenzhou, which was covered with a thick layer of white and turned into a snow country. The undulating mountains, winding rivers and rivers were all covered in this scene.
In the goose-feather heavy snow.
What a heavy snow!
All over Jiuzhou, a figure named Xin Chang stood at the highest point of the mountains and rivers, in the wind and snow, silently watching the heavy snow, like a jackal or a wolf!
…………
"Brother, it's winter again."
In the house of the Marquis of Zhenguo in Shangjing City, a young man looked through the window at the snow-covered street outside. A child of a prince wearing a fox fur coat was laughing and playing in the snow outside. The world
The chaos of the world is still very far away for them.
Li Chen looked at the children playing outside with a nostalgic look in his eyes.
"Do you remember your childhood again?"
Li Guang's voice came from the room behind him, with a slight smile.
"yes!"
Li Chen's eyes looked at the children outside, and two sad tears flowed out, with deep sadness:
"Brother, can I still play in the snow with you every year from now on?"
"Haha," Li Guang chuckled: "Brother, what are you talking about? Of course...ahem!"
Before the voice finished speaking, it suddenly weakened and was replaced by a violent cough.
The sadness in Li Chen's eyes became even worse.
In the room, the faint smell of blood became stronger.
"Brother, let's leave. Get out of here!..."
"where to?"
"... Let's go to the west, far away from here, to find the saint of Veda. He will definitely have a way to save you."
"Brother, don't be stupid! I know my illness..."
"Brother, let me take you there!"
"Brother Chen! What are you doing? Have you forgotten our agreement? My illness is none of your business! Don't come here!!"
"Brother, I miss my childhood so much..."
"..."
…………
In the thick snow, no one noticed. A younger brother was running wildly with his elder brother on his back. On his back, the elder brother had a smile on his face, but blood kept flowing from the fingers covering his mouth.
It leaked down and soaked into the younger brother's shoulders. But the younger brother just kept crying sadly. Before the tears dried, they were blown dry by the wind.
Among the diffuse footprints, a line of hurried footsteps keeps going west, west..., all the way to the distant coast, leading to the distant Vedic continent.
The footprints were quickly covered up by the wind and snow.
