Saint Immortal Way

It was just dawn, and Lu Yang's family had already woken up early.After breakfast, Lu Kaitai led two horses for a walk around the courtyard, while Lu Jianjia brought out a little donkey.

Lu Yang is still wearing the Confucian clothes of yesterday's style today, and his younger sister Lu Jianjia still wears the old country lady's attire because she doesn't have suitable book children's clothes.

Lu Kaitai took out two tiger skins, a pair of tiger bones, and some furs and bear bile that he had hunted before, and tied them on the horse's back. The family rode the morning wind and headed towards Moling Mansion.

Lu Yang's father and son rode fine horses, while Lu Yang's mother and daughter rode a donkey. This donkey has strong feet and good endurance, and it can barely carry two people, one big and one small.

This is the first time that the old Lu family has been mobilized to go to the market in Moling Mansion. At the same time, it is also sending Lu Yang and Jian Jia to Bailongtan Academy. After all, both Lu Yang and Lu Jianjia will go to the academy, so the parents are not at ease. You must send it to the academy in person, and you will feel at ease after taking care of the basic necessities of life for Lu Yang brothers and sisters.

During the Great Kuang Dynasty, the barren state was sparsely populated. As the capital of a state, Moling Mansion alone had a population of more than 20. It was the capital of the barren state with a concentrated population and was very prosperous.

Of the six counties in Moling Mansion, Luqiu County has the largest population, and Luyang County and Moling Mansion are not far away, only a mere [-] miles apart.

In order to be able to catch up with the morning market, Lu Yang's family had to go out before dawn. Although the speed of two horses and a donkey was not fast, it was not slow.

The sky brightens, the sun rises, and the sky and the earth are bright. In the south, in the early autumn morning, there is still no bleakness unique to autumn, but a fine and refreshing autumn weather.

The Lu family and his party had already walked for about forty miles, but the official road was flat, with beautiful mountains and rivers on both sides of the official road. The closer they got to Moling Mansion, the more and more villas were built among the mountains and rivers near the official road.

Lu Yang looked at the mountains in the distance. Among the rivers and mountains, there are many unnamed villas. Some of them cover an area of ​​more than one hundred hectares.

Lu Yang saw an imperial garden, surrounded by dozens of hills. The number of pavilions and pavilions inside is probably comparable to that of Efang Palace and Yuanmingyuan, which makes people shocked at first glance.

"Daddy, who lives in those manors? Such a big place, with so many buildings, can they finish it?" Lu Jianjia pointed to a royal garden in the distance.

Lu Kaitai turned down his face and said solemnly: "Don't talk nonsense, that is the Royal Forest Garden. Most of the surroundings of our Moling Mansion are surrounded by royal palaces. My Great Kuang Dynasty has been in power for more than 400 years. The world is peaceful, the population is prosperous, and all industries are prosperous. It is the work of the great Kuang emperors of all dynasties, so no matter how luxurious Lin Yuan is, it cannot be overstated!"

"Oh, I see!" Lu Jianjia pursed her lips, feeling aggrieved by her father's reprimand for no reason, but it was also the first time for her to feel the majesty of imperial power.

Lu Yang chuckled and said, "Apart from the royal gardens, there are many mountains and rivers around the Moling Mansion, and there are many manors built by powerful people. Probably only those of us who live in the lowest class, with a small dwelling and a few acres of Susukida, are considered Xiaoan."

Lu Kaitai sighed: "That's why we hope that the old Lu family will produce a scholar!"

Mrs. Lu Yang also had expectations, and said: "My son is going to the academy soon, and our family has finally produced a scholar. When we return to the county government, our family can be upgraded to a scholarly family, and we can write poems and books in the future." It has been passed on to the family, so when my son enters the academy this time, he must strive for success, we don’t expect you to become a great Confucian, we just hope that you can become a scholar, this is regarded as the ancestor’s honor!"

Scholars in the Great Kuang Dynasty had a degree of rank, and those who had not achieved fame were called students, those who cultivated the spirit of eternity were called students, those who cultivated the spirit of splendor were called Tongsheng, and those who cultivated the spirit of righteousness were called Xiusheng.

The above students, Tongsheng, and Xiusheng correspond to the triple merits of Lixin Daokarma.After Li Xin is Li Yan, entering the first stage of Li Yan's career is the so-called scholar.

Liyan Daoye is a watershed. There are thousands of scholars in the dynasty, most of them stop at the third level of Lixin Daoye, and they barely show awe-inspiring righteousness.

If you want to stand up and become a scholar, you need extraordinary talent and talent.Therefore, there are relatively few scholars, and they have become a class of scholars respected by the world.

The "hearts" of Lu Kaitai and his wife are not very big. They just hope that Lu Yang can become a scholar, which is already very good. They don't expect their son to become a great Confucian, after all, not everyone can do it.

"That's right, with my second brother's intelligence, if he works hard enough, he should be able to become a scholar?" Lu Jianjia smiled confidently.

When Lu Yang heard this, he shook his head, knowing that his parents underestimated him, thinking that he has been a human being for two lifetimes, and he has his own difficulties in his chest, so why can't he have a bright future?

As soon as he thought of this, Lu Yang felt a sense of pride in his heart. He laughed loudly and said, "Father and mother, you underestimate my son too much. To be able to worship under the great Confucianism, no matter how you say it, you have to be better than blue. It is true respect for the teacher and respect for the Tao, and the two elders can rest assured that in the future, not to mention being a great Confucian, it is not necessarily impossible to prove the Dao sage's karma!"

"It's good to aim high, but it's over if you aim high!" Lu Kaitai said with a frown.

"Hehe, the Great Dao has no name, just like the deep sea. If you travel in the sun and the moon, if you go out of it, the stars will be brilliant. If you go out of it, the people in the holy way are just the same way. Body, father, mother, please listen to me..."

After Lu Yang finished speaking, he lifted his breath and sang slowly and loudly: "The white wine is newly cooked and returned from the mountain, the yellow chicken is pecking at the millet and the autumn is fattening. Call the children to cook the chicken and drink the white wine, and the children laugh and hold the clothes. Singing to get drunk to comfort, dance The setting sun strives for glory. It is not too early to lobby for Wan Cheng’s suffering, and ride a horse to travel a long distance. Lu Qiu’s foolish woman buys officials lightly, and Yu Yi resigns from his family to the west to enter Chen. Looking up to the sky and laughing, go out, we are not from Penghao.”

The so-called Chen in the poem refers to Chenzhou, the place where the imperial capital is located, facing the sea in the east. Every day when the sun rises, the first thing the morning sun shines must be the prosperous Dahaikou of Chenzhou.

Lv Yang took advantage of his carefree pride, opened his mouth to write poems, and closed his mouth to write poems. Lu Yang and Lu Jianjia were already stunned, but Lu Kaitai was very relieved and said with a smile: "It turns out that my son has such ambitions and is so talented. It's very good, very good." Well, it's not hard for him to stand out!"

"Looking up to the sky and going out laughing, I'm from Penghao... Hehe, I never expected to meet such a student with lofty aspirations and a heroic temperament here, old Wei, stop!"

On the official road in front, a luxurious carriage that was walking slowly stopped, the curtains were opened, and an old man in his sixties poked his head out, and glanced at Lu Yang's family who were walking slowly on the official road.

The old man's eyes were clear, and his eyes fell on Lu Yang at once, with a slight surprise on his face, he said in his heart: "What a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth, sword eyebrows and starry eyes!"

"Grandpa, what are you looking at? Why are you stopping? You still have to walk a while away from Fucheng!" A lazy voice came from inside the carriage, and the fat face of a little fat man appeared next to the old man's old face. Face squeezed out of the curtain to see what happened.

"How can third brother do this? Go away, I want to see too!" A girl's soft voice came, and then the little fat man was pulled down, and a girl's delicate face squeezed out from the edge of the curtain. Wu Liuliu's eyes stared backwards.

"It turns out that grandpa is looking at that family of bumpkins, it's really boring!" The girl pouted.

Seeing this situation, the old man touched the girl's little head, and said with a kind smile: "Don't be so unruly, I heard that little brother recited a poem just now, and I thought it was very good, so I was curious, and I wanted to come to that little brother Just like us, not only going to Fucheng, but also going to Bailongtan Academy!"

"Go to Bailongtan Academy? Grandpa, just those country people?" The girl dismissed her.

Heroes don't ask about their backgrounds, sages are the same. I guess my granddaughter is far from understanding this truth.The old man shook his head, opened the door of the carriage and came down, followed by a fat man and a girl. The fat man yawned first, wiped his eyes with his fat hand, then stretched his waist and said, "Really I'm too fat, I get angry with everything I eat, I don't remember what tonic I took these two days, why are there so many eye dropsy?"

The girl gave her third brother a blank look, and said contemptuously: "I said third brother, have you considered losing weight? Just like you, I was laughed at in the academy, do you know?"

"It's okay, I wanted to lose weight, but I can't. Even if I drink cold water, your third brother's body is still growing. What can I do? So your third brother has already decided, wait for me When the Dao karma is improving, I will use my grandeur and righteousness and the supreme Dao karma to refine this body fat, and then I will be able to lose it!"

"Then congratulations, third brother, you can't expect to lose weight in this life!" The girl stuck out her tongue and beat her brother mercilessly.

Listening to the conversation between his two grandchildren, the old man only thought it was interesting, and he did not interfere. In his opinion, although his little granddaughter was a little harsh in her tongue, she was actually kind-hearted, and the fat grandson, Although he is a little fatter and a little lazy, he is still very smart in his bones, and he has the opportunity to become a scholar in the future.

When Lv Yang's family rode over with tick-tocks, the old man clasped his fists and said with a smile: "You guys are polite, this old man is the owner of Delin Hall in Moling Mansion. His surname is Qian and his first name is Chao. If we meet on the left side of the road today, it is a fate. Can some of you do me a favor and sit in the gazebo beside the road?"

Lu Kaitai and Lu Yang got off their horses quickly, and Lu Yangshi and Lu Jianjia also got off the back of the donkey. They looked at Lu Kaitai suspiciously, wondering why the old man in a luxurious carriage invited his family to the side of the road sit down...

"It turns out that the owner of Delin Hall invited me, so I'd rather be respectful than obedient, please..." Lu Kaitai had also seen the world, so he quickly motioned for the old man to invite first.

Lu Kaitai knew about Delin Tang in Moling Mansion. It was a big medicine hall with a history of more than 200 years. It was famous in Moling Mansion. It's really weird to sit aside for a while at home.

The old man smiled slightly, and brought his two grandchildren and the servant who drove the carriage into a pavilion beside the official road. The servant took a set of tea sets from the carriage, made tea with a small portable stove, and handed it to Lu Kaitai and Lu Yang to taste. , Lu Yangshi and Lu Jianjia, as women, could only stand next to the man, and it was inconvenient to make a sound.

The old man took a sip of tea, and said to Lu Kaitai: "Let me introduce, behind this old man is my grandson, the fat one is called Qian Lai, the granddaughter is called Qian Duo, and his morality is higher than that of the little Lu family brother. He is a Tongsheng, and now he is studying at Bailongtan Academy... This old man just overheard this young man reciting poems, and thought it was very good, so he wants to make friends, but he has no other intentions!"

"You're welcome, you're welcome, Mr. Qian's family is willing to make friends with each other, I'm grateful!" Lu Kaitai continued to be humble.

Qian Chao waved his hand, and asked with a smile, "I don't know my brother's last name, where does he live?"

"I am a hunter in Luqiu County. My surname is Lu, and my first name is Kaitai. The one who recited the poem just now is my son Lu Yang, whose name is Chunyang. There are two people behind me, one is Jiannei, and the other is the third daughter Jianjia. .”

"Hehe, so that's how it is. It's old and rude. Lu Qiu really deserves to be the hometown of the former dynasty. He is an outstanding person. I see that my little brother has a brilliant literary talent, and the literary spirit between his brows is faint. I think he is also a member of the holy way. I don't know that my little brother can learn from a teacher ?”

Lu Yang got up and saluted, and said: "The younger generation studied under Lu Qiu Qingyang, who lived in Huang Zongxi's great Confucianism, and now he is going to the Bailongtan Academy to enroll and practice!"

The old man's eyes brightened, and he said with a smile: "It turns out that he is a student of Master Huang. It's a pleasure to meet you... I have heard that Master Huang is a great Confucian who lives in Luqiu in seclusion. He has a seat as a Confucian teacher in Bailongtan Academy. My little brother can learn from such a teacher." What a great Confucian, what a blessing! The two grandchildren behind me are also returning to Bailongtan Academy, in the future, please keep in touch with each other and encourage each other in your studies!"

Qian Lai grinned and bowed to Lu Yang: "There is a priority for admission, brother Lu Yang, we should have more contacts in the future and teach each other!"

"That's great!" Lu Yang also smiled slightly, and returned the gift.Seeing this, Qian Lai laughed loudly, his straightforward character could be faintly seen.

Lu Yang also didn't expect that during his trip to Moling, he would meet two boys from Bailongtan Academy with funny names, one named Qian Lai, who was a fat man.One is called Qian Duo, looking at that appearance, he is very strange, not a worry-free master.
