Heroes of the Sons and Daughters

chapter 92
The wife said: "Master, don't worry, I have been thinking about it for a long time. But this is a matter of discussion with our Yuge, but it is useless; if the discussion fails, he will let you carry a large set of books on your back. Confused. It was my mother and three who were gossiping the day before yesterday, and the two daughters-in-law made up an idea, which actually made sense to me. I have nothing to do, so why didn’t the master ask them to talk about it? Does the master sound feasible? If it is feasible, or if there is something wrong with what they said, the master will refute them again. I think that is a serious idea." Master An said: "In that case, tell them to sit down and slowly Talk about it." Master An has the old rules, but if he gave his daughter-in-law a seat, the maids moved three small stools, and they also worked separately, and the three of them obliquely waited for their parents and in-laws to sit down.

This etiquette, I take it for granted as a storyteller.Why?It is often seen that in those aristocratic families, etiquette is more important than affection. After a long time, affection is the rule of etiquette, and father and son will inevitably have unreasonable intentions, and aunt and daughter-in-law will inevitably have hard-to-reach secrets, which is also a serious illness at home.

How could such a wife and family in his family unite as one, wouldn't it be some family fun?As for the idler from Yanbei who wrote this book, probably the drunkard's intention may not be wine.He thought it was calculated that He Yufeng and Zhang Jinfeng's four little feet would not be enough to build a foot, one foot and one foot. If he was asked to stand up and discuss this matter, the heel of his feet would be a bit weak!
At that moment, Mr. An saw his daughter-in-law sitting on both sides, and asked, "What kind of knowledge do you have? 'Everyone talks about your ambitions'!" Miss He said first: "The daughters-in-law also served their mother-in-law that day, and gossip about my family. I came across this sentence by chance. In fact, things are really going to work. Whether the two daughters-in-law can make it or not, I dare not say that I am full at this time. I have to ask my parents-in-law. The daughter-in-law lives with my aunt over there At that time, I heard that the land surrounding this manor was my family’s land. At that time, I felt far away from my heart. The rent of hundreds of taels of silver, the mother-in-law is not very clear about the basis of this. Please explain to the father-in-law, such a large piece of land, why only these rents are used? How many acres does my land have?"

When Mr. An saw the question, he said "Ai" first, and said, "I was overwhelmed by the two of you. This land was originally an old enclosure that my ancestors occupied from the time when Long entered the pass. It was very big that day! North and south Xiali, in the south of the mountain facing my village gate, there is a maple forest, that place is called Hongye Village, from there to the village, I told you It ends at the Yuanwu Temple; from east to west, there is a big reed pond at the end of the west. That place is called Weitan, also called Weitang. From there, it ends at my Qinglong Bridge in Kangjia Village in the east. This area is a piece of land. The big place was owned by my family at the time. Since it was in my hands, I have paid the few taels of rent at the end of the year at the head of the village. I heard that it was more than [-] times more than that. It must have been concealed from the time it was taken over. , Lost, and even the deceitfulness of the former family member Zhuangtou, who secretly stole the codes. Even I can only hear these words."

Ms. He said: "I just don't know about this old enclosure. Does my family have any license?" Master An said: "Why not! All the old enclosures are issued by the Ministry of Dragon Tickets. It’s clear. It’s just that no matter the hectare or mu of old land, it’s only counted on the amount of land that can be planted by one man in a day, which is called a day. So I can’t figure out the number of hectares.”

Miss He said: "As expected, that's easy to say. If you have a license, you won't have to worry about finding a tenant. If you have a license, you won't have to worry about finding out the number of acres. With the number of acres, you won't have to worry about finding out the tenants. One tenant Qing, which household is now paying the rent to my family, and which household is not paying the rent to my family, we must first understand. Then we can check the name of the tenant who does not pay the rent to my family, and who pays the land rent every year; find out the whereabouts, if He is lost and concealed, how can he hide and lose his way? As long as we don’t look into his past, my family will be lenient. Even if some of them are stolen by the head of the village, we have the seal in hand Here, no matter how much he pawned, he can get it back; if the pawn price is not much, take the silver and get it back according to the price, regardless of the length of his calculations, that is, my family will be lenient. This will increase the price. Wouldn't it be good to get income and restore the old property? Besides, the land is not separated by three or five hundred miles, and it is all around the door of the house, so it is easy to check. As long as the check is clear, the rent will be more than the original amount. You can't decide if you come out!"

Miss Zhang said: "My sister's words are really good! I've been in our house for more than a year, and I've heard about Jingli Land, but I dare say it's different from other provinces; I just know that the rent is calculated by co-authoring the land price, and I don't think about this acre anymore. How promising is the land. Let’s take sorghum as an example. Except for sorghum grains, which are counted as crops, sorghum seedlings are brooms, and sorghum stalks are sorghum stalks. Just plug in the lamp and put in the box, don't look at the fault, just make firewood, but every family needs it, and when you go to the countryside, you don't even throw away the leaves. Which one is not interest? Put it together, it is The rent for one mu of land counts. Let the tenants’ artificial meals and livestock rations be removed, I’m afraid it’s more than these few taels of silver.”

Mr. An listened quietly for a long time, and said to his wife, "Madam, you and I have never heard what he said." Said: "I just don't understand. Even if you both have read the book carefully for several years, you should know some of the meaning of the text. How did you get through this? This is beyond my surprise!" Miss He said with a smile: "Elder-in-law only I thought, my sister, her family was originally a farming family; when I got my daughter-in-law, I lived in the mountains for three years. This is what my eyes see and what my ears hear, so I gossip with those village women and girls. Nothing more than this. The two daughters-in-law were specially married by the parents-in-law, one from the Nanshan and the other from the North Village, how could they not understand?" After hearing this, the old Mrs. An became even more delighted.

Master An then said: "Although that is the case, it is thanks to you two that you pay attention to everything. It is just that it takes me a lot of energy to clear up this land. Let me say that I have figured it out. Sure enough, some Zhuangtou privately pawned it out. At this time Where do you plan to spend so much land?" Hearing this, the young master stood up and said, "Now there is the part of the box that Uncle Deng Jiu gave Miss Yufeng."

The master said: "Hey, that's because his master loves him deeply because there is no one in his natal family. Naturally, he should be reserved for his own supplementary use, so as to live up to his good intentions. How do you use it for this? The young master replied again: "Both of his current serving utensils have been taken care of by his parents, and they are fully rewarded. There is no place to fill up, and there is a regular monthly fee. When there is a place to spend extra money, it is still What else does he have to add to his parents' begging? Naturally, he should entrust this to his parents and do this house." Then he knelt down and said, "Be sure to ask your parents to accept it."

Mrs. An said: "Don't be ashamed! Why do you use your daughter-in-law's things so hard!" Mrs. An's words revealed a little bit of book poison in him, and said with a smile: "Go back Mother, it belongs to him, even he is mine, and what belongs to me belongs to parents. "Rituals": "Son and wife have no selfish things, no selfish savings, no selfish things." Speaking of this, it belongs to him? What's more This move was originally out of daughter-in-law Yufeng's own intention, and not only his own intention, but Jinfeng's daughter-in-law also saw the same thing. But this should be confessed by the son on their behalf, so it is in line with the principle of advocating and following."

Mrs. An said: "Brother, don't bully me! You only agree with my simple and quick words, and it's worth memorizing such a big book after saying three sentences!" Who knows that his book is just right Understanding Nai Weng's meaning, he nodded early and said, "Of course my wife can't understand this, but it's just what a woman should know. There is a saying in "Nei Ze": "Every woman dare not retreat if she is not ordered to live in her private room. If you have anything to do, you must ask your uncle and aunt. The sons and daughters have no selfish goods, no selfish savings, no selfish possessions, and dare not leave them privately, dare not give them privately.' This book is just to make up for the shortcomings of "Qu Li". It’s where he read and learned the truth.”

Sisters Jin and Yu saw that the father-in-law agreed, so they said together: "The gold and silver are left for nothing now, and the father-in-law doesn't plan to go out right now, so let Yulang be selected for the examination next year and Jinshi the year after, and leave." It’s still a long way to take care of my parents and support this family. At this moment, my family is running out of money. What’s more, my family’s foundation is not enough to make ends meet, and there will be a shortage of daily necessities in the future. Of course, I have to make up for it. Let’s do it. Instead of waiting until a few years later when the sporadic additions are completed and make another idea, why not make a long-term idea on this matter at this time, so as not to plan in the future. If there is a success, not only is the current daily use enough Even if the future descendants enter, they can be officials, and if they retire, they can farm. I don’t know what the parents-in-law are thinking about this?”

After hearing this, Mr. An nodded repeatedly and said, "'Good! There will be no famine within three years!'" After saying this, he lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "There is still one difficulty. As expected When it comes to doing it, it is natural to have a thorough clarification. It is counted as Fangtian and nuclear stacking, but it needs a professional expert. , aren’t they still being fiddled with by those Zhuangtou?”

The young master said: "My son has spotted one person in this matter, and it is my Ye Tongbian who got it." Mr. an said: "He? I usually only think that he can read two characters, so that he is better than an ordinary boy. Be clear, can he do these things?" The young master said: "Not only can he know it, but he is also good at it. How does the son know? Seeing that my father-in-law often pays attention to him together, my father-in-law is holding a copy of "Nine Chapters Algorithm" I asked him how many acres should be made up of a few odd pieces of land, and how many acres should be made up of a few pieces of certain length and length. How much sorghum, wheat, and millet are harvested? My father-in-law doesn’t need a calculation board, but the amount he said is about the same as that in the "Algorithm" book; Juduo, even the flat tip of the stack can be said. According to my opinion, one side is probably from calculation, and the other side is from experience. Just listening to it, I feel that it is compared to "Xia Houshi's Fifty and tribute" "The textual research questions in that chapter are more difficult."

Master An sighed: "Like my father and son, the so-called 'I don't know the difficulty of farming', I have no regrets for it!"

The young master originally said that he was ignorant of common affairs, and he didn't want to provoke the old man to become "modest and honorable". I got "I'm not as good as the old farmer" and "I'm not as good as the old garden"." After hearing this, Master An said seriously: "These two sentences are wrong, it's not the way of saying it. My master said 'I'm not as good as the old farmer', 'I'm It's not as good as Laopu' These two sentences are just the iron footnotes of 'Wu Feisi's disciples and whoever'. The old man is having nowhere to vent his salvation, thinking, 'If I can do it, it's just right Together with the second and third sons to govern', I don't think that Fan Chi doesn't ask questions, but he just wants to 'please learn from the garden' and 'please learn from the garden' to get up. How can we wait for this? That's why we prescribe the right medicine, and he said the three sentences of "good manners". These two words "such as" must be said as "I don't look like an old farmer and old nursery", and they cannot be done. "I am not as good as the old farmer and the old garden"; the following sentence "how to use crops" is the voice of a saint. Otherwise, you only look at the word "time" in "the country of a thousand times, so that the people can use time", but People who don’t work hard and don’t know the grains can say it?”

After listening, Mrs. An didn't reveal the details of the matter. Xian Qiaozi started to talk again, and said, "Isn't it? The wife is talking about seriousness here, and the master is making a fuss about Confucius again.—— This is all caused by Yuge." Master An said: "In addition to following the example of Confucius, where else can we find a decent way?" The wife was really stunned by this master, and said, "Master, What we men and women are discussing now is to have enough to eat. If that Confucius had a serious idea of ​​having enough to eat, why would he stop eating halfway when he was traveling around the world, and he could not afford to buy a liter? What about Mi Lai? Isn’t this what the master told us?”

Mr. an said: "this is the so-called 'gentlemen are poor', and they are 'floating in the sea' and 'living in barbarians', so I sighed." Mrs. an only smiled and said, "yes, yes, no matter what you do Well, it’s over if we understand it! The master just thinks carefully at this time, is this what the two daughters-in-law said? Is this idea feasible? Or if the master has some other instructions to refute, let’s discuss it and settle it.”

Mr. an said: "Since ancient times, it has been said that 'don't use doubtful people, and don't doubt employing people'. Both of them have such ambitions and speak so clearly. Now you and I have entrusted them to do this matter, so that we can do it together." It's a tiring way. At this time, how can I misunderstand the two sentences of "predetermined, predetermined" and turn to "think twice before acting"?" The wife said: "No, I am hesitant to take care of these two little people. Sorry for such a big deal!"

The master said: "Hey, 'Chi is also small, but familiarity is big?' Don't hesitate."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the young master to say: "As for the gold and silver you mentioned, you don't have to send them to me and your mother. You only know that the 'selfless goods' is a general theory, but you know that there is no treasury." Wealth, not the ones who are rich, especially those who talk about it. Only one word can make a decision, and there is no need to discuss it." Yin turned back to his wife and said, "I have one more thing to say. I often see people grow old. Holding this family firmly in my hands and refusing to hand it over to my children and grandchildren, I laughed at him for not being up to date. Thinking about it, he probably has two kinds of sufferings for not being up to date. The most difficult thing is raising an unworthy offspring First, consider that what I have created through hard work in my life will be squandered by him at will. When I suffer from poverty, I have to take care of his food and clothing again; I have the filial piety to cultivate ambition, but I have no self-sufficient permanent property. Even if I pretend to be deaf, I have to always pity him for his lack of energy. Now my family really wants to restore this old business, which is enough for food and clothing for about a year. , so they don’t have to worry about their lack of mental strength. Looking at the three children’s intentions, will they still squander it? You and I will simply hand over this family to the two daughters-in-law. Among the two, Yufeng’s daughter-in-law It's a bright and decisive weather, so I asked him to support the family; Jinfeng's daughter-in-law is a delicate scenery, so I asked him to feed the salt and rice. My old couple only give them an idea, let me talk, so I can take advantage of it. With this unshackled wisdom, I will make up a few lines of unread books. If I have spare time, let me browse forests and springs and express my love for poetry and wine. My wife is free, so I can wear glasses, smoke a bag of cigarettes, and watch Paier, being an old lady, repays the hard work of many years of management. Yuge taught him to work hard and strive to make progress. Isn't it one of the luckiest of my family's misfortunes?" The wife was so happy to see what the master said, Yijia was overjoyed, and said, "I thought so too. It's great that the master said so." Looking at the two daughters-in-law, he smiled and said, "I never thought that I would stay up for half my life until the two of you entered the door." , I have given the plain text to this fighting card."
