Luo Ye glanced at Luo Xin, finally shook his head, and said in his heart: "It seems that Xin'er is indeed not a scholar's material, and he is not a scholar's temperament at all. The second family is wasting money! Originally, the life was not good at all. It’s bad enough, and I’m afraid it will be even more painful in the future!”

Luo Xin didn't care what other people were thinking, he was sweating all over, and felt refreshed all over.While doing it, there is still a feeling in my heart.

The history of China should be divided into two parts, one is the Wu Kingdom and the other is the Wen Kingdom.

Before the Song Dynasty, although China also valued literati, it paid more attention to warriors. It can be said that the country is governed by martial arts.This is true whether it is a strong man or a prosperous Tang Dynasty.Scholars at that time also practiced martial arts. Back then, even literati like Fang Xuanling once charged into battle with Li Shimin with a sword in hand.

but……

In the Song Dynasty, everything changed. The position of warriors declined, and the position of literati increased, and the position of literati increased, and even in Luo Xin's view, it was already somewhat deformed.

Scholars began to despise warriors. Scholars began to only know how to study hard, and no longer involved in any field. The inheritance of the literati.

The iron hoof of Mongolia not only destroyed the Song Dynasty in the Wen Kingdom, but also slaughtered the literati of the Song Dynasty. The Mongols killed tens of thousands of households in the Central Plains, leaving only a few hundred thousand households, and almost slaughtered all the literati families of the Song Dynasty, destroying countless classics. Because of the flames of war, up to now, Daming is still picking up the leftovers and making up for the vacancies.

Although Daming has driven Yuan away, he still hasn't learned his lesson. Maybe it's because he is afraid of rebellion by warriors, and he still doesn't give warriors the status they deserve. Luo Xin knew that Daming was wiped out by Qing in the end.

Therefore, Luo Xin hated the literati who did not distinguish between the five grains, did not work hard, and had no power to restrain the chicken.He can't change anything in Daming, so start with himself.As long as it is what you think is right, you must stick to it.

A group of women came along the path leading to the field, but it was Luo Shi and some men who were delivering boiled water to the men working in the field.Auntie and Auntie also walked with Luo Shi, carrying a bamboo basket.

"Qing'er, Xin'er, come and drink a bowl of hot water to rest." Luo Shi walked to the ridge of the field, put down the bamboo basket, and called out to brothers Luo Qing and Luo Xin.

"Mom, here we come!"

The two brothers dropped their hoe and ran towards mother.With a smile on his eyebrows, Luo Shi took out two large bowls from the bamboo basket, poured hot water on them respectively, brothers Luo Qing and Luo Xin picked up the large bowls and drank.

"Hey, isn't this Xin'er?" The aunt's voice came over with a bit of surprise: "Our child prodigy also goes to work in the fields?"

Luo Xin drank the water in his mouth, glanced at his aunt, and gave a faint "hmm".

The little aunt shouted exaggeratedly: "Second sister-in-law, I'm not talking about you, why do scholars do this kind of work? Your tutor... Really! When do you think my husband went to the fields? My husband wants to be a candidate. It is the ambition of a scholar to be a Jinshi and become an official. How can you let Xin'er waste in the fields? Isn't this harming Xin'er?"

"Humph!"

Grandpa also let out a cold snort while sitting on the ridge of the field, and Luo Shi's face became pale.Luo Xin glanced lightly at his aunt, then at his grandfather, and met his sharp eyes.But Luo Xin's expression didn't change at all, instead, there was a trace of sarcasm in his eyes and he looked at the little aunt and said:
"Auntie, no matter if you are a farmer or a scholar, you can't discriminate the five grains and not work hard. Do you know that the emperor also has a piece of land in the palace, and he has to take care of it with his own hands? Do you know that every year the magistrate also goes to the land? Opening the plow to show the spring seeds? Everyone from the emperor to the official can go to the field, why can’t I, a scholar, not go to the field? My father is away, my elder brother is young, and we two brothers are brothers and sisters. This is a good thing, how come my aunt Has the taste changed in your mouth?"

The little aunt was choked by Luo Xin all of a sudden, her face was flushed red.Grandpa looked at Luo Xin in surprise. In his heart, Luo Xin was not so eloquent before, but now he speaks so well that even his grandfather has no words to refute. Could it be that Xin'er is really a student?

The neighbors in the surrounding villages also looked at Luo Xin in surprise, and each of them thought to themselves: "Does the emperor really have a piece of land in the palace? Do you want to farm like them?"

"How do you talk to my aunt?" Luo Shi slapped Luo Xin lightly, although he was scolding, but there was joy in his brows.

Luo Xin stopped talking and drank water silently, then went down to the field with his elder brother and continued digging.The little aunt over there stopped talking, and left the field in a hurry after the grandfather and uncle finished drinking the water.Luo Shi stayed on the ridge for a while before rushing back to cook.

When the afterglow of the setting sun fell, Luo Qing and Luo Xin also ran towards the house with their hoes on their shoulders. Grandpa was watching Luo Xin's back with changing expressions in his eyes.

Back home, my mother had already cooked the meal. Although the Lu family's money hadn't been received yet, the food had changed. Meat and scrambled eggs appeared on the table.

Luo Xin took a chopstick of eggs and put them in his mother's bowl, and said with a smile: "Mother, eat quickly, you are living the life of an emperor."

"This kid!" Luo Shi raised his hand and pretended to be a beating man, and then laughed out loud: "Okay, let's eat honestly."

"Yes!"

Luo Xin and his eldest brother looked at each other and smiled, and began to eat sullenly.Or say that a half-child eats a poor old man, the two of them cleaned up the food on the table, and then touched their stomachs and looked intoxicated, Luo Xin couldn't help sighing:

"This is the life people live!"

Luo Shi said angrily, "Did you live a life that was not human?"

"Mother, I was wrong!"

Luo Xin hurriedly stood up and fled towards the house.Back in the house, he began to transcribe the articles in memory again, while the elder brother went to the yard to compare his strokes and comprehend Guan Dao.

this day.

The afternoon sun shone warmly on his body, Luo Xin returned home from his teacher, and stood under the peach tree, playing the flute.A figure walked along the small road in the village. The 12-year-old Zhang Xun already had the demeanor of a scholar and was more refined while walking.Following the sound of the hole flute, he came to the gate of Luo's house, and listened to the flute with all his energy.Inside the courtyard gate, Luo Xin played seriously, while outside the courtyard gate, Zhang Xun listened intoxicated.

When the sound of the flute fell, Zhang Xun hurried forward, raised his hand to pick up the door knocker and knocked lightly.Footsteps came from inside the door, the courtyard door opened, and Luo Xin appeared.

"Brother Zhang wants me to play chess?"
