Heroes of the Sons and Daughters

Chapter 1: Hidden in the West Mountain, the Closed-door Lecture
The general idea of ​​"The Legend of Heroes and Heroes" is explained clearly in "The First Chapter of Destiny and Origin", and will not be repeated.What is this book about?Who is in the first class?From which dynasty?Lie Gong kept quiet, and those who heard the book came slowly.

This book does not talk about the Tang Dynasty and Five Dynasties, nor does it talk about the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties.The system of our Qing Dynasty is not as good as that of the previous dynasties. Dragons fly to the East China Sea, capital Yanjing is established, Wanshui Dynasty is the emperor, and the world is unified.On the ground of this capital city, there are countless talents from all over the world gathered.The real thing is that the crown is flying, and the chariots and horses converge.Those who rested with the country first counted the clan Jueluo of the near branch and distant faction, then the Eight Banners of the Manchu, Mongolian, and Han armies who followed the dragon into the pass, the three banners of the House of Internal Affairs, and even the civil and military officials of the seventeen provinces, more than a thousand. There are thousands of households!The endless "Nine Heavens will close and open the palace, and all nations will worship their crowns!" This is nothing to say.

Now let's just say that there is a family in the Han army in the Yellow Banner. This family is named An, and it is an old family of the Han army.This Mr. An was originally two brothers. The elder brother passed away early and he was the only one left. His two names are Xuehai, and his nickname is Shuixin. Everyone calls him Mr. An.Talking about his ancestors, he also conquered Goryeo with Taihan Lafayette, conquered Chahar, and earned a world job by virtue of his hard work.When it comes to Master An Er, after the succession of the family job, he relies on reading to make progress.I like him to be brilliant by nature and willing to pay attention to his studies. Therefore, he has a wide range of knowledge and outstanding knowledge.However, he "doesn't come to Wen Qifu", he tried it a few times, Ren Ren's articles are beautiful, every word is pearls, he will not be a Jinshi, and he is still a filial old man after he is 20 years old.Tong, a Confucian, is also a lady of the Han army family. She has a virtuous temperament and a dignified appearance. Needless to say, the female needleworkers are just doing housework and supporting the family.It's just that his family is not prosperous, Mr. An and Mrs. An's husband and wife died late, and the Confucian people had several children before, but none of them survived. It was not until after thirty that they got a son.

This young man was born with a full heaven and a round earth, smart and clever, with beautiful makeup and jade decoration, and Master An and Tong Ruren loved him very much.Because he was born white and clean, his baby name was Yuge. The single name is Ji, which means thousands of miles, and his nickname is Longmei.When he was young, Guan Sha and Hua Miao lived together. When he was five years old, Mr. An taught him to recognize the characters and write Shun Zhuer. At the age of 13, he finished reading "Four Books" and "Five Classics", and began to write articles and poems, all rough and smooth.Master an is very happy.Two years later, during the scientific examination, he was given a name.After the college entrance examination, he won the first batch of this flag.Needless to say, Mr. An and Mrs. An liked him very much. They were busy asking him to pay homage to their teachers, to cooperate with them, to praise officials and visit guests.After everything is over, I will immerse myself in the work of raising my career.

At that time, the son's stature has gradually grown, his eyes are beautiful, his eyebrows are clear, and he is gentle and elegant.Just because of the dignity of feeding, the nurses and maids are still around to serve.Slowly speaking, the theaters, restaurants, and temples outside refused to teach him to run away, and even his own gate never went out to stand and look around for no reason.Occasionally, when I went to a relative's house for a walk, I was followed by the mother and mother inside and the father and mother outside.Therefore, the boss raised this young man very shyly: he didn't understand a word spoken in a foreign language; and when he saw people behave wildly and speak rudely, he would get angry and call him obscene and worthless; even seeing a foreigner Women with more eyes will flush with embarrassment, and they are more respected than girls.

Although the life of Mr. An's family is not as affluent as that in the hands of the elders, there are still several houses and families left by the ancestors.Although Mr. An is not good at managing the family, relying on this wife's management, he can barely live a stable life.The old house of his family was originally in the place where the bridge is not in the east of the back gate. It was originally a gift from the ancestors, and there were hundreds of houses inside and outside.Since Mr. An's old grandpa owned it, because of his quiet old age and the small population in his family, he couldn't live in many rooms, and he refused to give up his ancestral property. Instead, he gave up the house to several families from far away, leaving two families to accompany him as caretakers. The reason is that the house will not be vacant, and those poor family members can save some rent, but his family moved to live in the cemetery.His family's cemetery is different from other families, it is near Xishan, this place is called Shuangfeng Village.According to legend, in the past, someone saw two colorful phoenixes falling on the top of the mountain in this place, surrounded by hundreds of birds, so the name of this village was given.This land was originally the old enclosure of An's family. When it was in the hands of Mr. An's old man, he kicked a piece of auspicious land in this land, made a cemetery, and built two houses of yin and yang.A small Zhuangzi was also built in the southeast. Although it is not a big garden, the pavilions, pavilions, trees, mountains and rocks are also elegantly decorated and structured.There are also several famous mountains and big temples nearby, all around Zhuangzi are their own fields, and the tenants pay the rent by planting.

In the last words of Mr. An, the old master once asked Mr. An to say: "I have been resting here all my life, and all my mind is in this place. In the future, after a hundred years, not only the graveyard will be here, but the ancestral hall will also be here. First, there is no room in our ancestral hall; second, there is an open space on the north side of the garden, behind the earthen hill, and in front of the boundary wall. You can build three small ancestral halls for me in the middle of this place, and set up the Lord to worship. Since you can take care of it nearby, your future descendants will be ordered to be officials, otherwise, if you guard this place, you can still farm and study without freezing and starving."

Later, master an obeyed his father's order and followed them one by one.This is without further ado.

When it was passed on to Mr. An, this Mr. was calm by nature, and even more fame and fame, so he was a little lazy and discouraged, so he guarded the manor, studied in class, and took care of his old business.Several relatives, friends and children, because of his profound knowledge, sent articles to him for criticism and correction, but they didn't have any free time for a day.Occasionally, I am free, but drinking and looking at flowers to pass the time, and I don't want to go to the city when I am idle.Mrs. An is also a diligent and thrifty person who manages her family. Every day, she brings servants and maidservants to take care of needlework and mediate rice salt.The young master works hard sooner or later, hoping to become famous in one fell swoop, and does not do foreign affairs.There are several old married families outside to support the door.There is also a nanny father of the son, who is surnamed Hua and named Zhong. He is about 50 years old. He has been upright and loyal all his life. He does everything he can, and refuses to ruin every plant and tree. He is really "a saint among grandchildren".

Therefore, the master and wife treated him with extra kindness, and refused to treat him like an ordinary grandpa.Counting the family of Mr. An, there are thirty or twenty people inside and outside. Although they can't be counted as Zanying's family or Zhongding's family, they live in a warm and friendly way, peacefully, with no worries about others and the world. Fighting can be regarded as a happy place in life.

This year coincides with the year of the Grand Competition.Under the New Year, Master An and Mrs. An brought the young master into the city as soon as the family's age passed.After paying homage to the ancestral hall, I visited several places of relatives and relatives, and I still went home.After passing the Lantern Festival in a hurry, the wife sorted out the blues, curtains, pocket boxes for food, clothes and hats that Mr. An left.

When Mr. An saw it, he asked, "Ma'am, what are you busy arranging these things for?"

The wife said: "It's almost three months away, take it out and have a look, the things that need to be washed, seamed and refilled, should be tidied up earlier, so as to save the impromptu fuss."

Mr. An twitched a few mustaches and said with a smile: "Madam, do you still expect me to take the exam? You know, I have been elected since I was 20 years old, and now I am about 50 years old. It has been 30 years since I took the exam." , the hair is all white after the test, "Fame is blessed, writing is not destined", you don't have to think about it anymore. Besides, you and I have a child named Yuge, and it seems that we can still see him as an adult. Why don't you save my mental effort , it is reasonable to use it on him to achieve him. Madam, what do you think?"

Before the wife could answer, the young master was checking the examination tools. When he heard the master's words, he came over and said in a calm and orderly manner: "Father has to consider this. If you want to talk about father's conduct and studies, please wait." It is not difficult for a Jinshi in the Tao to enter the Hanlin Academy and sit in the cabinet hall. But fame will come sooner or later. Only when you have been selected as a Jinshi can you be regarded as having completed a major event of studying."

Master An listened, smiled, and said, "Children's words!" The wife said beside him, "Master, Yuge's words are very true, and I mean the same thing. I have these words in my heart, but I can't say them like him." Such a platitude. The master actually followed his words and became happy. Whatever he is, it's great if he wins; even if he doesn't win, it doesn't matter no matter how hard he worked, it's just a taste of it. Lie!"

Lie Gong, the path to fame in the first class is quite different from the path to fame in a different path.This is an activity in which the people of the world are more knowledgeable and economical. From ancient times to the present, it is unknown how many heroes have been imprisoned and how many talents have been buried.So these people would rather get old in the exam than get the word "middle", and they will never die.Master An has spent half his life working hard, so is he really willing to give up halfway?It turned out to be a momentary complaint after seeing these examination tools.

When I heard the son said such a big truth at a young age, I was secretly happy, but I was afraid that the little man would be happy, so I had to laugh and say "children's words".When the wife added some persuasion, she didn't feel it, so she cheered up and said, "In that case, according to what you women say, the left and right are sitting at home for nothing, and then just walk around."

As I said that, I saw that in early March, the wife had sorted out the master's clothes, hat, bedding, food, etc., and the son was also busy picking up pens and inks, washing inkstones, and wrapping draft paper.When everything was settled, Mr. An went to the city by car, and instead of renting a small apartment, he lived in his own home.Although there are several families living in this house, the main place is not occupied. It was originally prepared for Mr. An, his wife, and the son to live in the city on business, and there are family members left to guard it on weekdays.The family knew that the master was coming home, so they cleaned up the laying, sweeping the floor and burning incense a few days ago.

On the sixth day of March, the wife sent the young master to take the servants and follow the master into the city.Entering and exiting the arena, sending family members to pick up and drop off according to the day, preparing wine and meals, and ordering food.The young master also came to say hello, so there is no need to elaborate.

The three games were over, and the master didn't go home when he left the show. He got into the car from the gate of the show and kept coming back to the manor.The wife and son went on to say hello and hello, prepared wine and meals, and asked about the scene.After eating for a while, the young master collected the pen and inkstone, and then looked for the draft articles of the three sessions in the roll bag.After searching for half a day, I couldn't find it, so I came to ask Mr. an, "where is the manuscript? Wait for me to copy out the poems and essays of the first show, so that my relatives and friends can read them." I didn't save the manuscript, and I was really tired of doing these things. Some people wanted to read it, but they just added a few secret circles, wrote a few general comments, praised them and said, "This time I need to go to high school!" The list is still the same, and it’s very boring, so I didn’t save the manuscript this year. Not only do you not have to copy it for others to read, but you don’t even have to read it. If I appear on the stage, I will count it as a hit.” After finishing speaking, he twitched his beard and smiled.The young master couldn't hear it, so he had to.

The sun and the moon are fast, and it is April in a blink of an eye.On the night before the announcement of the rankings, the wife made some fruit wine and dishes, preparing for the master to wait for the rankings, so as to hear the good news from the high school.

Master An sat down and said with a smile: "This probably means waiting for the list. Listen to me and tell you: the outside only knows that the list will be released tomorrow, but in fact the venue opened half a day early today and filled the list. The rule is to dismantle one, sing one, and fill in one. There is a group of people who think about money, and letters come out from the crack of the door, and those who announce the good news from outside then report separately. Now there is no movement at this time, and it will be reported early. It's over, don't have to wait any longer. Since you've got all this food, I'd be happy to eat and sleep." After finishing speaking, he ate a few glasses of wine and gossiped, and fell asleep soundly.
