Chapter Seventeen

Hanxiang   http://www./0_56/  Jie and 2 God’s new book "Hanxiang"! Chapter 17   Give up a good teacher

Not long after, the father and son came outside Liu Yuan's house, and the plaque of the gate was written with the words "Mozhai".

Chen Cheng knocked on the gate of the courtyard and shouted: "Siucai, are you at home?"

"Here!" a middle-aged woman's voice responded, and footsteps rang inside.

Chen Kang and Shen Chang were busy tidying their clothes. At this moment, the gate of the courtyard opened. A woman in her thirties was wearing a light green right-sided collar shirt, a moon skirt, and a cloak casual dress with rabbit fur rolling edges. Her hair was combed into a peony head, a light green headband was tied between her eyebrows and forehead, and a moist jade earrings were hung.

Seeing that she was well maintained and her clothes were exquisite and generous, she knew that she must be a scholar.

Chen Cheng quickly bowed his eyebrows and said, "It turns out that he is a scholar's wife. Why are you opening the door yourself?"

Liu Sun looked up and down at the father and son. When he saw the things they were holding, he knew that he was here to become a disciple. He smiled slightly and said, "Honey, I'm going to rush back to my hometown for the New Year. Come in."

"Hey!" Chen Cheng responded and brought the two children into the door.

Flowers and grass are planted in the Liu family courtyard. It was winter. Only a plum tree stood in the corner of the wall and faintly bloomed with wisps of plum fragrance. He raised his legs into the courtyard, and the small courtyard that entered and exited was vividly seen. The lace-shaped eaves and delicate leather roofs, the whole courtyard was small and exquisite, but transparent and bright, neither exceeding the specifications stipulated by the court nor losing its identity.

Don’t they all say that there are poor scholars?

No matter how ordinary scholars can't live in such a yard, is it? Thinking about this, Liu Yuan's family background should be very wealthy, and he is definitely not from a poor scholar.

Liu Sun took them to the front hall, poured tea again, and said softly: "You sit for a while."

Chen Cheng was obviously a little cramped. He just picked up the teacup and put it back on the square table beside him, stood up and said, "Yes, yes."

Liu Sun waved his hand, signaled him to let himself go, and turned around and went into the back hall with a smile.

She slowly walked to the study room and leaned against the door to look inside. Liu Yuan was flipping through the pages of the book around the small fireplace. She said, "Husband, the Shen family's father and son are here."

"Oh?" Liu Yuan looked up and put the book down, stood up and said, "Did you see that Shen San?"

"Here, Chen Er, Chen San is here, and he is waiting for you in the front hall."

Liu Yuan smiled innocently and nodded, "Chen San... is really agile and bold, and he will be an extraordinary person in the future." As he said that, he tidied up his clothes and stroked his beautiful beard and went out brightly.

Chen Kang in the front hall looked around openly, looked at the statue of Confucius hanging on the wall, and turned to the slightly old book "Travel Record" on the corner of the main table. He saw that the book had been read countless times.

"The Book of Teachings" is the work of Wang Yangming, the master of the great mind. He thought to himself that he had not been able to see Wang Yangming's style until the Ming Dynasty. It was a pity.

In this way, he sighed sadly. At this moment, Liu Yuan and his wife came together.

Liu Yuan was wearing a light blue round neck and wide-sleeved long gown, with a humble and gentle expression and a short and harmonious appearance, making people feel like the spring breeze blowing on his face.

Liu Yuan and Liu Sun sat on both sides of the main seats, and Chen Cheng and the other two hurriedly stood up and gave a long tribute.

Liu Yuan tilted his head slightly, looked directly at Chen Kang, and asked with a smile on his lips, "Why are you sighing when you are a child with yellow mouth?"

Chen Kang unconsciously folded the thumb of his right index finger and twisted the left cuff, bowed and replied, "I'm afraid that sir would not accept me."

Liu Yuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, saying, "How can I see it?"

Chen Kang let go of his hand and said, "Mr. I am just a naughty boy. Seeing that Mr. I am like a mountain looking up to him, I feel afraid."

Liu Yuan's eyes were a little suspicious. How could a farmer speak in a very vocal way, and he was very cunning when he spoke.

Chen Kang continued, "Sir, just accept me and my second brother."

This is quite childlike, as if his own child is acting coquettish. Liu Yuan and his wife couldn't help but smile at each other.

Seeing that they were laughing, Chen Chang didn't understand what San'er said was funny, so he frowned and said seriously: "Sir, San'er and I will study hard."

"Oh?" Liu Yuan looked at him and asked, "How do you plan to study hard?"

Chen Chang wanted to say a few nice idioms. After thinking for a long time, his face turned slightly red. He scratched his head and said, "Just... study hard, come before dawn, and don't leave until dark."

As soon as this said, Liu Sun couldn't help laughing, and looked at Liu Yuan teasingly and said, "Look at these two brothers, they are planning to live in Mozhai for a long time. Husband quickly accept them, otherwise." She glanced at the two of them, and then said, "I think they are going to stay for the New Year today."

"Yeah!" Chen Chang nodded firmly.

Liu Yuan immediately turned a little angry and pointed at Chen Chang and said, "I have never seen you speak so frankly." After saying that, he felt that it was not enough and whispered: "Boy."

This anger was not at all thoughtful. Chen Kang laughed in a low voice. The second brother's straightforwardness and honesty cannot be learned by others. Judging from this, Liu Yuan fell in love with him.

After pausing for a few breaths, Liu Yuan's expression returned to normal and said calmly: "Since you have this determination, you don't have to live here all day. Starting from the 18th day of the first lunar month, you will come to Mozhai every day at Mao hour."

Chen Kang smiled calmly and knelt on both knees with Chen Chang: "Sir, Master's wife is here, please accept three bows from my disciples."

"Bang"

"Bang"

"Bang"

The two of them kowtowed three times.

Liu Yuan chuckled. Chen Chang's reaction became more agile at this time, as if he was wise and foolish. Chen Cheng smiled so hard that he couldn't stop and picked up the prepared two pieces of Shu Xiu and sent them to Liu Yuan's hand: "Please accept Liu Xianggong with a smile."

Liu Yuan nodded slightly and said slowly in a soft southern accent, "I will accept the two brothers. It's too late today, let's go home for the New Year."

Chen Cheng finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Mr. Liu."

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled, stood up neatly, saluted again, said goodbye to Liu Yuan and his wife, and turned to go home.

On New Year's Eve, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse. In the middle of the night, the snow falls down. The naughty children in the village are laughing and playing, gathering at the entrance of the village to set off firecrackers.

Chen Chang's face turned red with cold, he covered his ears with one hand and shouted, "San'er, come quickly!"

Chen Kang smiled and shook his head: "You guys play."

Chen Chang was nude and the village boy beside him shouted that he didn't know what he said, and they laughed again.

Chen Kang stood aside and watched, with a smile on his face as calm and kind as ever, envious of these children's carefreeness. He looked at his little hands and sighed that he clearly returned to his childhood, but some things that he could not be found again if they were lost, such as childlike innocence.

At this time, a cold hand gently patted his shoulder, and he turned around and found that it was the eldest sister of the Shen family.

Chen Ning's eyes were bright, and he smiled and pulled his little hand: "Children should look like children. I'm depressed and think about something, go over and play together."

"I..." Chen Kang still refused, but his hand was already pulled by Chen Ning, and his steps couldn't help but move towards the place where the children gathered.

"Bang!"

The sound of firecrackers sounded, and the flash of fire illuminated the children's smiling faces.

Chen Kang unconsciously felt relieved and smiled.
