Chapter 33 Guan Ji
The child servants in Fengzhuang are a bit special. Unlike the servants, who live and eat at the master's house, they all rush from their own homes early in the morning to work on time. This farmer on the farm didn't say anything. He even felt that the owner was considerate. After all, he was his own child. He was too young to worry about it. Moreover, it was not far from his home to the owner's house. There was nothing wrong with it. trouble.
When the children arrived at the house, they would sit in a row to have breakfast, then learn a few words or numbers, sometimes review what they had learned the day before, and finally start working. Yes, working is the most important thing. Literacy can only be learned in the breaks of working, or memorized while working.
This is already a great kindness to the farmers. If they don't learn well, they can only blame their own children for not being alert. When the day's work is done, the children will be released from the house and allowed to play in the open space on the farm. The more alert children will take the opportunity to review and memorize today's homework, while the more stupid ones will just play. , and then when the host comes to inspect before dinner, he will be beaten. Those who are unlucky will be beaten again by the family’s father and mother when they return home.
As expected, Gouzi was the first to memorize all today's homework. He also learned to write the first three of the four newly learned characters "Jianhao Juque", although they were written crookedly on the sand table with branches. , the word was slanted as if "Ge You was paralyzed" and couldn't get up, but he could barely recognize that it was the word.
"Not bad, not bad." Feng Yong touched Gouzi's head and praised, and then asked the children to review carefully when they go back tonight and check tomorrow morning. If they don't understand anything, just ask Gouzi. Anyway, they are all from the same Zhuangzi. Just two steps away from each other. Finally, he motioned to the butler to come over and distribute today's dinner, to each of them two barbarians. After all, these children are here to help the house in name. If they are not housed, they must at least be fed, right?
Mantou is a unique food in Fengzhuang. It is fragrant, soft and delicious. Even if you just drink it with water, you will be full. You wouldn't exchange it for the steamed cakes eaten by the nobles!
Although I couldn’t hear clearly what the owner said from a distance, I could clearly see the approval on his face when he touched the dog’s head. At that moment, the wife of the village, who was close to Gouzi, said enviously to Gouzi's mother: "Now God's eyes are really open. Your Gouzi is really going to be successful in the future." After that, he sighed again, He said with a steely voice, "Why is that little beast of mine so stupid? If only he were half as smart as a dog, he would be satisfied!"
Every evening at dusk, watching Gouzi being praised by his master in front of everyone was the happiest moment for Gouzi. Due to the pressure of life, wrinkles had already begun to appear on her face before she was thirty. She smiled, waved her hand and said modestly: "What's the point of being useless? Our family knows our own affairs. As long as I can make Gouzi know a few more words and live a better life in the future, I will be worthy of Gouzi and his father-in-law."
Gouzi's family was also displaced from Guanzhong to Shuzhong because of the war. During the years when the family was a refugee, Gouzi Aweng gave everything he could eat to his wife and children, but his body collapsed. I'll starve to death until I settle down. The mother was left alone as a woman with three children. Gouzi's sister and brother also got seriously ill and died one after another. In the end, only mother and son were left to depend on each other.
The dog that performed first today did not get twists or other special rewards. He was given the same two hairs as everyone else. After all, this reward is not given every day, and the dog has nothing to be dissatisfied about. He touched his arms and found that there was still half of the twists that he had not finished eating. He only ate half of the two barbarians, and gave the rest to Grandmother.
After finishing his hair, Feng Yong clapped his hands and announced the disbandment.
All the children bowed in unison: "Thank you, Master."
Then dispersed in a rush.
“What does Li Langjun think?”
"I know I was wrong!" Li Langjun exclaimed, "The hidden mountain gate is really unfathomable."
The two of them walked towards their mounts behind them, got on their horses, and turned towards the official road.
Seeing that the rice seedlings in the field on the roadside were one foot high, Guan Ji said softly: "Back then, my Aweng guarded Jingzhou and was the leader of the Five Tigers. The Guan family was so prosperous. Even Sun Quan of the Eastern Wu Dynasty asked for marriage. Aweng None of them agreed, saying that a tiger girl would not marry a dog. Unexpectedly, not long after, it happened that Lu Meng, who was not even a dolphin in Aweng's eyes, not only took Jingzhou from Aweng, but also Aweng and his eldest brother. All lost their lives.”
"Since then, I have been telling myself that I can no longer look down on people in the world. The Guan family has lost too many things because of their arrogance."
Li Langjun on the side looked embarrassed and looked away, not daring to take up the topic.
In the Han Dynasty, there were two things that the nobles were taboo about. One was the defeat of Jingzhou, and the other was the defeat of Yiling. The former caused the Han Dynasty to lose hope of revival, while the latter shook the foundation of the Han Dynasty's continued existence.
"A few days ago, when my aunt and I passed by here, we saw that Feng Langjun for the first time. My aunt said that this person must not be simple. Even if he is not from the Hidden World Mountain Sect, he must be related to the Hidden World Mountain Sect. It's ridiculous. The thing is, I didn’t believe it at the time and thought this person was just a womanizer.”
"Unexpectedly, after my uncle met him, he also praised him very much and called him a young hero. I knew that I was wrong about this matter again." A trace of confusion finally appeared on the girl's cold face, and she murmured He murmured: "After the Jingzhou Incident, I thought about reviving the Guan family day and night, but I didn't know how to start. A few days ago, the steward went to Feng Mansion to learn the art of Zhujiweng. He was humiliated. After he came back, he listened to what he said. I was extremely angry at first, wishing to cut him into pieces. But the second brother said that although these words were harsh, they were advice to the Guan family. The Guan family should thank Feng Langjun for saying things that others dare not say. Therefore, I have been in recent times. I have been coming to Fengzhuang every day to see how it is different from other places. Just look at Feng Langjun who can not only teach children to read and learn etiquette, but also make them obey orders and prohibitions. There are so many heroes in the world! But the concubine is still That Guan Ji who is arrogant and does not recognize the true heroes in the world is no different from before. Li Langjun, are your Li family really willing to accept such Guan Ji?"
Li Langjun was even more embarrassed. The marriage between the Guan and Li families was originally a political marriage. One family wants to use its strength to regain its prestige, and the other wants to use its name to expand its influence. They just complement each other. Of course, aside from this main factor, Li Langjun admired her when he was young, and Guan Ji was so beautiful. If he married a beautiful woman, it would be a good thing for him.
"This Li Dalang is very lucky." After the man and the woman walked away, two heads emerged from behind Zhuangzi's wheat pile, and they were Feng Yong and Zhao Guang.
"Really?" Zhao Guang clicked his tongue, with a hint of regret in his tone, "It's just that my sister's temper has become colder, so Li Dalang will probably suffer a lot. Dalang, do you really like my sister too?" "
You know what you are doing!
Feng Yong took a look at this guy who only had a good skin. He was an iceberg beauty! The cold exterior is just their protective film. If any man is lucky enough to peel off that film and come into contact with her true inner self, the kind of heat she can give will definitely make a man happy until death.
“What’s the use of liking her? Feng Yong feels like he married a husky. This is the first girl I like in this era. She is still the best girl, and she was given away by Zhuge Lao Yao like this.
Yes, most others think that the marriage between the Guan and Li families is just about taking what they need and complementing each other's strengths. Feng Yong knew, however, that the one who played the biggest role here was Old Demon Zhuge.
