Thank you so much Tange (200) for your tip!

After Luo Xin left the Lu Mansion, he did not go home immediately. Instead, he would go to Zhou Zhi County to listen to Zhou Zhi County's advice, and Zhang Xun would also come to Zhou Mansion that day to be with Zhou Yu and the three brothers. Listen to Zhouzhi County's teaching of time culture and art.Moreover, Zhouzhi County will give them three homework assignments.

That night, Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun would stay overnight in the Zhou Mansion. The three brothers discussed and exchanged ideas. During the exchange, Luo Xin would also tell Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun the teachings of Lu Tingfang without any hesitation. Xun will also pass on what he has learned in the county school to Luo Xin. In just a few months, the three brothers all feel that their current culture and arts have grown rapidly.

After staying overnight in Zhou Mansion, Luo Xin returned home.Going round and round, apart from reading, practicing martial arts, calligraphy, Dongxiao and Go every day.In this low-key and regular life, Luo Xin's heart completely calmed down.

The quieter the heart, the more you learn, the more elegant you will be!Lin Chang couldn't help sighing:
"My disciple has already started cultivating awe-inspiring spirit!"

Autumn harvest!
Few of them buy grain because the price of grain has skyrocketed.Grandpa Luo Xin didn't buy food at home.

The best harvest of crops is only [-]%, and the whole Shanglin Village is full of sorrow.At this time, they remembered the matter of Luo Xin's family buying grain, and they all regretted it. They sighed to themselves that there was a prodigy in Luo's second family, why didn't they buy grain with the prodigy's family back then?

The magistrate of Zhou was frothing. After a month of busy work, he kept running to the magistrate's office. The life of the magistrate was not easy. One by one, he sent the papers to the capital. The final order was that it was impossible for the state to release food, but the tax was reduced.

but……

It's just a [-]% reduction!

This is fatal to farmers. Even if such taxes are paid, even with last year's surplus grain, there is not much grain left in the family. Some families have no grain left, and some families even cannot pay the tax.

Luo Heng's home.

Luo Heng sat at the top of the kang and smoked dry cigarettes, while the old lady sat at the end of the kang and put the small dustpan in her hand on the kang heavily and said:

"Back when the second child reminded you to buy food, you didn't buy it, and you called the second child a prodigal. What do we eat as a family now? The food left in the family is just enough for the New Year. What will we eat after the New Year?"

"Are you annoying?" Luo Heng glared at the old lady.

"Why am I bored?" The old lady shed tears: "It's a good year, but the days are hard!"

"Why are you crying!"

"The head of the family..." The old lady choked up and said, "How about... let's take care of the second family to borrow some food?"

Luo Heng's face was a bit awkward. He used to look down on the second child, and he had run on the second child at the beginning, don't go to his house to borrow food, and even called the second child a prodigal, now let him take care of the second child to borrow food , needless to say that kind of awkwardness.After a while, he let out a long sigh and said:

"Let's make do with it first, let's talk about it when the time comes!"

early morning.

county seat.

The backyard of the county government.

Luo Xin was holding the folding fan in his hand, and he closed it for a while, like a sword like a pen, and opened the fan for a while, fierce as a knife, opening and closing.

However, there is beauty in the turning of the figure, and a folding fan is danced by him like a crane...

Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun stood in the yard and looked at Luo Xin, with envy shining in their eyes.

"Snapped!"

Luo Xin closes his fan, a gentleman is like a jade!
"it is good!"

Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun cheered and applauded, and walked towards Luo Xin, sandwiching Luo Xin from left to right, Zhou Yu waved the folding fan in his hand and said:
"Xindi, have you created your fan technique?"

Luo Xin nodded. With the help of Luo Ping in the past six months, Luo Xin finally created the nine-style fan technique, which combined three-style sword moves, three-style brush moves and three-style knife moves.

"Why don't you teach us quickly?" Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun were overjoyed.

Luo Xin rolled his eyes: "The two of you should practice Tai Chi for another two years before we talk about it."

"We have already learned it!" Zhang Xun said in surprise.

"You... just learned the moves, and you are still far from meeting."

"It doesn't matter so much, anyway, you have to teach us this fan technique today, otherwise you won't be allowed to leave!" Zhou Yu played a rogue.

Luo Xin couldn't beat them, and was in a hurry to go home, so he finally had to agree, anyway, there are only nine moves, and it won't waste much time.An hour later, Luo Xin left the county seat and rushed home.Now Luo Xin has refused to let his father or elder brother pick him up.When he came to the county seat, he rode his elder brother's big horse, and hurried back to Shanglin Village before noon.

New Year!
Luo Xin's parents packed twenty catties of rice, caught two chickens, two ducks, two geese, one pig's leg, one basket of eggs, and prepared another five pennies.A family of four came to the grandfather's house to worship the ancestors and watch the night.

During the dinner, the status of Luo Xin's family rose a lot, and grandma not only served Luo Sheng and Luo Wen with vegetables, but also scrambled eggs with chopsticks for Luo Qing and Luo Xin.This move made Luo Qing very excited, this was the first time his grandma had served him food at such a young age.A smile appeared on Luo Ping's simple and honest face, and Luo Shi was even more beaming.Luo Xin was very calm. After thanking him softly, he unceremoniously ate the egg into his mouth.

He quickly scanned the uncle and uncle's family, and saw a trace of discomfort and disdain on their faces, Luo Xin understood his psychology, seeing the old lady serving vegetables for himself and Luo Qing, they felt uncomfortable up.

This is also normal, the grandma who has never picked up food for herself and her eldest brother suddenly picked up chopsticks, as if their love had been separated.As for the disdain, it's even simpler. Grandma just picked up such a chopstick dish, and my mother was beaming with joy, which naturally made people disdain!

"It seems that there is a long way to go! Their habits have to be changed! Take your time, I'm not in a hurry, hehe..." Luo Xin sneered.

After eating, everyone kept vigil together. Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, uncle and aunt took turns chatting with Luo Ping and his wife, and they talked about food after a few words.

"Second brother, I really didn't expect that there would be a food shortage this year."

"Second brother, do you have a lot of surplus food in your family?"

"Second brother, thanks to your family buying food in advance!"

"........."

But Luo Ping just smiled foolishly, and he didn’t say anything at all. Luo Xin had already analyzed it with him at home, and at this moment, it turned out that his analysis was exactly the same as Luo Xin’s.Thinking of his son's advice, although Luo Ping felt awkward, he resolutely refused to speak.

To be honest, he is also a human being, and as a human being, he only wants to have status in the family.But he has always had no status in the family, and now he does not want to let this opportunity pass by.

not to mention……

This is also related to the "Qi family" that Xin'er mentioned.As he listened, he also became angry.
