　　 Chapter 4 The Starving Mr. and Dog

According to the legend, the Taoist master of Guandi Temple, who can see through Yin and Yang, who is more powerful than the truth, did not come. The little Taoist who stayed behind the Taoist temple said that today, the evildoer is full of evildoers, and the master is very busy. Going to Weinan to catch a fine fox, it has no time. Pay attention to the little things of the Yun family, and wait until the beginning of the spring to see if the Taoist master has any kung fu.

　　 Yunzhao wanted to come quickly to prove that he is not an evildoer. He has been annoyed by his mother these days.

When you sleep at night, not only do you have to hang a jade card for warding off evil spirits, you can also see the red cloth of the town demon folded into a triangle when you lift the pillow. The door is pasted with the door god, and the windows are covered with seals. Often when he sleeps soundly , His mother would wake him up, staring at a pair of bloodshot eyes and asking him to call a mother to listen.

　　 Yunzhao was too lazy to shout, Yunniang kept shaking him until he yelled reluctantly, that was to let Yunzhao go.

　　 In the daytime, as long as Yun Zhao is awake, Yun Niang will take him around and watch the Taoist shrines in the temples in a radius of thirty miles.

　　Until Yun Niang discovered that even though she was standing at the feet of the Buddha, her son was still calm and calm. He didn't change into anything strange, and he didn't turn into a fool again. This was the doubt that relieved her mind.

　　 Fifteen days passed without knowing it.

　　 Many times, Yun Zhao looked up at the wild boar family of eight basking on the bald mountain and regretted it. He felt that he shouldn't have suddenly become smart.

　　 However, recalling how my mother drove the wild boar insane that day, the trace of regret disappeared.

　　 Today is a sunny day, Yunniang took her newly dressed son, and the housekeeper and servants to Yushan early in the morning.

　　 On that tall mountainside, there is a college.

　　 According to my mother, Yushan Academy has existed a long time ago.

It used to be one of the best academies in Guanzhong. The former Mr. Hengqu, a great scholar, used to teach students here and recuperate by the way. At that time, seats in Yushan Academy were hard to find, and talented scholars from the south of the Yangtze River did not hesitate to travel thousands of miles to listen to Hengqu. Mr. Qu's class.

It is because of the lecture experience of Yushan Academy that Mr. Hengqu finally returned to Hengqu’s hometown to establish the famous “Guan Xue”, and he said “to build a heart for the heaven and the earth, for the life and the people, for the holy and to continue to learn,” To open peace for all generations' must sing!

Later, when the Mongols entered Guanzhong, Yushan Academy slowly declined. During the Ming Taizu period, it was glorious for a while. A large number of gentlemen became officials because of corruption and lazy government. They were killed by Taizu. More than half.

　　 Gentlemen see that being an official is too dangerous, and the other half don't want to be an official.

　　 After the world was peaceful, the newly enthroned Emperor Yan stopped killing officials at will. The gentlemen here began to want to be officials.

　　Unfortunately, the general trend is over. The indigenous people in the southwest have occupied most of the courts with their determination to become officials. It is too late for them to come up with official positions.

In addition, the head of the gentleman who went out from here was too hard, he was unwilling to only teach the Four Books and Five Classics, and he was more unwilling to let his students use the tone of the ancients to take on modern knowledge, and he was even more unwilling to accept King Yan as their emperor and was deposed by the government. For the qualifications, the hardest-headed gentlemen have never been harder than steel knives, and together with their own disciples and children, as well as the wealthy households who support Yushan Academy.

　　 Yushan Academy has since been reduced to a private school for Mongolian learning, and gradually became unknown.

　　 After six years of severe drought in Guanzhong, the people didn’t have a lot of livelihood, and when food was a problem, there were fewer scholars, and life at Yushan Academy was even more sad.

　　 At least, after Yun Niang married Lan Tian Yun, this academy was already dilapidated and was about to be abandoned.

　　 Yunzhao has a new understanding of his mother for the first time, and this is definitely not something the hostess of the rich landlord’s house can say.

　　 From this it can be seen that the housekeeper said that his mother is a pretty girl.

　　 Yunzhao stood in front of the mountain gate and looked at the broken plaque of Yushan Academy, which had fallen among the wild grass. He was a little sad inexplicably.

　　 He walked into the haystack and wanted to lift the plaque. His hand caught the plaque. Before he could exert his strength, he broke off a piece of dead wood.

　　 "There is a very good gentleman here."

　　 Yunniang saw that her son's eyes were full of doubts, so she said hurriedly.

　　 "How powerful is it?" Yun Zhao didn't believe his mother at all.

　　 "Anyway, my enlightened gentleman for your mother, I am full of praise for this gentleman!"

　　 "Mother, when did you enlighten?"

　　 "Ah, your mother has been enlightened since I was eight years old."

　　 Yunzhao groaned and did not continue to ask. He felt his mother was lying to him. Can the eight-year-old girl show up in Ming Dynasty?

　　 If what the mother said is true, her tutoring must not be too strict.

　　 Yun Niang put the back basket up, the beam repair in the back basket still had some weight, and after walking seven or eight miles of mountain road, it became heavier.

　　 "Why don't you let them carry it?" Yun Zhao pointed to the housekeeper and the group of people who followed far behind.

　　 "I am a woman who asks his son for a husband. It is already very rude. If you don't respect your husband, how can someone come back to our family and teach you?"

　　 Even though Yun Zhao felt that eating is the biggest thing in this world, he still acquiesced to his mother's approach, and the two slowly walked up the steps to the high platform.

　　 The first thing that catches the eye is a broken iron pot. It is not how special this pot is, but because there is a broken hall on the entire platform. The only thing that attracts attention is this broken pot.

　　 There was a piece of ice in the rusty iron pot, and there was a black pottery bowl beside the broken pot. It was huge and dirty. It seemed that no one had used it for a while.

　　 The mountain was windy, and there was no trace of ashes under the iron pan, only a few burned half-remaining firewood scattered all around.

　　 Behind the iron pot is a relatively complete small hall. There are some broken cornice beasts on the four corners of the cornice, and the bells on the cornice have long been missing.

Half of the door fell to the ground, and the cold wind kept pouring into it. Another slightly intact door opened weakly. A thin yellow dog poked his head and glanced at Yun Zhao's mother and her son, and then cautiously retracted its head. , Whimpered softly, then there was no more sound.

Yun Zhao looked at it, and there was indeed clear water in the pot. There was not a grain of rice in it. At this moment, he was full of curiosity about the good gentleman he was about to see. How did his mother say that the great scholar, how to get himself? To this point.

　　 "A chaotic world, scholars are worthless!"

　　 Yun Niang gritted her teeth and said to her son.

　　 Yunzhao smiled and said: "We give him a bun, can he teach me to read?"

　　 Yunniang sneered: "It's not that easy, scholars have a strong character, and they will not be eaten by starving to death!"

　　 "Are there many scholars in my grandfather's house?"

"Well, your four uncles and seven cousins ​​are all scholars. Your father was your maternal grandfather’s disciple back then. It’s a pity that your father stopped reading after he was admitted as a talent candidate and was kicked out of the door by your maternal grandfather. Mother was thrown out by your grandparents three times when she went home, and the gifts she prepared were also thrown out.

　　 Zhaoer, you must study hard in the future, and show them one of the top picks, and give them such a tone for your mother! "

Yun Zhao recalled what he knew about the difficulty of the Ming Dynasty's scientific examinations, and stopped talking. He was able to take the exams in a common university in later generations. Even Tsinghua and Peking University won’t be able to get the results. It is estimated that there is no way in this era. Splendid.

　　 The mother's wishes are naturally to be supported, so Yun Zhao nodded heavily, very determined.

　　 "Mr. Yuan Shou is there?" Yun Niang called out.

　　 No one responded.

　　 Yunniang dragged Yun Zhao closer to the broken hall, and shouted again: "Mr. Yuanshou is here, Yunqin and his youngest son Yun Zhao will pay a visit."

　　 There was a dog barking in the hall.

　　 Yunzhao said to his mother: "Will it be frozen to death, let's go in and see."

　　 Yunniang shook her head and said, "If Mr. Yuanshou died of freezing and starvation, he would not want us to see his shabby appearance.

　　 Let's go back and come back tomorrow. "

　　 Yunzhao broke free from his mother's hand, and got into the hall amidst the sound of his mother's call. After a while, his voice came from the hall.

　　 "Mother, come on, Mr. Yuanshou is about to starve to death."

　　 Yunniang was taken aback, walked forward two steps, stopped again, summoned Yun Fu, the housekeeper who was staying in the distance, and then walked into the hall.

　　 When I entered the door, I saw a person lying on the haystack in the corner of the main hall, and Yun Zhao was squatting beside that person and looking at his face.

　　 Yunfu's face changed, and he hurriedly dragged Yun Zhao from the person and said in a low voice, "Be careful of the epidemic."

　　 Yun Niang immediately covered Yun Zhao's mouth and nose with her sleeves, and quickly backed out.

After a long time, when Zhi Yunzhao and others were impatient, a tall, blue-faced middle-aged man with three long beards held on to the door frame, and said to Yun Niang with difficulty: "You have to ask me to be Your Xixi?"

　　 Yunniang hurriedly said, "Mr. Guoyuan, the teacher, has recommended Mr. to the little woman, so please don't refuse him."

　　The middle-aged man squeezed out a smile and said: "A certain family is in today's situation, where are the conditions for picking and choosing."

　　 Yunniang was overjoyed and quickly said: "Now, please come to the humble house and bend the post of Xixi. I dare not miss the four o'clock and eight festivals."

　　 Mr. Yuanshou said: "Let’s go, I’ll take up my new post and continue to stay in this Yushan Academy. UU reading www.uukahnshu.com is worried about starving to death.

Huh? You are the wife of the Yun family. You have long heard that you only have a disabled son. Could you ask me to teach him?

　　 If this is the case, please go back, forgive me for helplessness. "

　　 Yunzhao grinned and said, "You are a fool!"

　　Mr. Yuanshou looked down at Yun Zhao, who was dressed like a green frog, slowly said, "Gossip is really not credulous!"

　　 Yunniang smiled and said, "My son used to be ignorant, but he suddenly opened up his mind half a month ago. I need to report this to Mr. Bao."

Mr. Yuan Shou took a closer look at Yun Zhao’s eyes and shook his head: "The old things of the Chuzhuang King are going to repeat themselves. Three years of silence, a blockbuster, three years of non-flying, and one soaring into the sky. Now, this baby really provokes a certain family to be a good teacher. Thought of it."

　　 Yunfu assisted Xu Yuanshou to walk out of the broken hall. After walking a few steps, he saw Xu Yuanshou stopping and looking back at the broken hall and sighed: "Old man, come out, we have a place to eat our belly."

　　 The old yellow dog guarding the entrance of the broken hall slowly approached Xu Yuanshou, stretched out his tongue and licked his hand, then slowly turned back to the broken hall.

Xu Yuanshou tears like rain, choked and saluted the broken hall: "Brother Dog, it's not that Xu Yuanshou's will is not strong. He has already reached the end of the mountains and rivers. There are many wolves and tigers in the mountains. It is meaningless to hold on, you, you, Just follow me!"

　　 There was no sound in the hall, Xu Yuanshou fell to his knees, pounding his hands to the ground, crying, and fainted for a moment.

　　 Yunzhao walked into the broken hall again, and in a short while, dragged him out of the broken hall by the neck of the yellow dog.

　　 After Yunfu settled down with Xu Yuanshou, seeing Yun Zhao dragging the dog hard, he grabbed the yellow dog by the neck and said to the tearful Yunniang: "Go back and feed a few meals and you will recognize home again."
