"They...hey, don't worry about them!"
Xiao Han looked at the two old men and had a headache.
Originally, he wanted to ask Yan Zhitui for advice on officialdom, and planned to learn how Mr. ** survived seven dynasties. Along the way, he wanted to ask him to point out the current puzzle. It would be better to use the old man's reputation to gain some points for himself. benefit.
As the saying goes, she is not good-looking, but I think she is beautiful!
However, everything seemed to have changed after Xiao Han demonstrated a firearm explosion on a whim.
The old gentleman suddenly no longer discussed officialdom with him, but became very interested in him as a person, and now he was also full of curiosity about his Zhuangzi.
"How come you are so curious at such an old age? Why don't you teach future generations while you still have energy? What's the matter with running around to other people's homes all the time?"
With a dissatisfied curse, Xiao Han saw that the two old men were about to go out again and walked to another house, and Xiao Han had no choice but to follow them quickly.
"Woof woof woof..."
"Oh, even a dog dares to bully me, let's see if I don't break your dog's legs!"
In the yard, seeing the old man who frightened him leave, the vicious dog hiding in the kennel suddenly became energetic again, swooped out, and barked again at Xiao Han who had not had time to go out.
Angry, Xiao Han picked up the stones in the yard and wanted to throw them at them.
It's just that when Xiao Han bent down to pick up stones, the vicious dog scurried into the den with its tail between its legs and howled "Woo-Woo".
"You can run fast." The dog ran away, and Xiao Han, who was holding the pebbles, had no choice but to glare at the vicious dog hiding in the den and curse.
At the door, Yan Zhitui looked back after hearing this, and then laughed silently.
There is not much difference in the living habits of Xiaojiazhuangzi. After visiting one family, it is basically the same situation with other families.
After all, the people who lived in Zhuangzi all worked in the same workshops and were paid the same amount of copper. There was no difference in eating utensils and so on.
Even now, some workshops have closed down, and those people have begun to travel with caravans, or simply started their own business, making a lot of money in a mess.
But no matter how well-dressed and well-fed you are outside, when you return to Zhuangzi, everything will instantly return to the way it was before, simple and ordinary.
Of course, the ordinary here is only for Xiao Han.
In Yan Zhitui's eyes, he only saw that every household in Zhuangzi had food in stock, there was no shortage of meat and eggs in the meals, the children were strong, and the livestock and poultry were fat.
It is true that as a person who has lived for nearly a hundred years, Yan Zhitui's knowledge is broad.
But in the old man's impression, even in the best of times, there are few Zhuangzi who can achieve such a prosperous life for ordinary people like the Xiao family Zhuangzi.
"Good Zhuangzi! Good boy!"
After visiting two or three dealers in succession, Yan Zhitui may be tired, or he may believe everything in the dealer.
With the help of the old groom, he got back on the oxcart, and then looked at the dolls that continued to play in the street after finishing the meal, and smiled happily.
"Master Yan, let's go to the boy's house to rest right now?"
Xiao Han, who had been following Yan Zhitui and was full of complaints, saw the old man praising his Zhuangzi. His unhappiness was instantly wiped away, and he was even a little complacent.
After all, to Xiao Han, the son of Xiaojiazhuang is almost the same as the child he raised. In the world, how can there be any parents who don't like outsiders to praise their children?
"good!"
The old gentleman seemed to be in a good mood at this time. He gave Xiao Han a smile and never called him a "pet name" like a fool or a fool.
"In a moment, I want to try the authentic Xiao Mansion delicacies. I can't let that kid Qiu Fu yell in front of me all the time."
"No problem! This time the boy will cook by himself!"
Xiao Han grinned and agreed readily.
Hey, the elders of the three dynasties can only be regarded as brats in front of this person, so what can I say? It seems that if you live long enough, you will indeed take advantage...
Why? If one day I live to such an old age, can I also come out and cause trouble to others at will?
But thinking about it, when the bullock cart finally stopped in front of his house, Xiao Han jumped out of the car first, respectfully pushed Yan Zhi out of the car, and invited him into his house as a guest.
He helped the old man through the door.
Xue Pan, who had already received the news, had already brought An An to greet him.
Xue Pan, who had always dressed up as a housewife in the past, heard that it was Yan Zhitui who came to visit. This time she put on a blue cloth bride-in-law outfit. Even An An, who was wearing brocade clothes and gorgeous clothes, only wore an ordinary children's linen shirt and followed timidly. Behind her mother, her little hands hugged her legs hard
"Xue Pan of the Xue family?"
After Yan Zhi pushed the door open, the first thing he saw was Xue Pan, who was bowing and saluting. He was slightly startled at first, and then he laughed.
"Do you recognize me, sir?" Xue Pan didn't expect that the famous Wenzong Yan Zhitui actually knew her! He immediately asked in surprise.
Yan Zhitui nodded slowly, and then said with some emotion: "Of course I recognize him! Your father Xue Daoheng was also my student back then."
"Father..." Suddenly hearing Yan Zhitui mention her father suddenly brought back memories deep in Xue Pan's heart. Her eyes suddenly turned red and her voice dropped.
"Why."
When Yan Zhitui saw this, he shook his head slightly: "Xuanqing is good at everything, but he is too upright by nature! When I saw that the atmosphere in the court was unhealthy, I tried to persuade him not to become an official in the court, but he still..."
Speaking of this, Yan Zhitui sighed again and said after a long time: "I was in other places that year, and by the time I got the news, it was already too late! Well, thinking about it now, with Yang Guang's temper at that time, even if I was in Chang'an, I'm afraid It’s also impossible to save Xuan Qing.”
"Father!" After hearing this, Xue Pan couldn't bear it anymore, big tears burst out of his eyes, and he felt a little unsteady on his feet.
"Wife!" Xiao Han saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Xue Pan's hand. While glaring at Yan Zhitui, he comforted in a low voice: "Don't cry, there is still me! If you miss my father-in-law, Let’s bring some good wine to see him tomorrow.”
"Well, Xiao Han is right."
Yan Zhitui looked at Xue Pan with a complicated expression, and ignored Xiao Han's glare at him, and said softly: "Xuanqing has been an upright person all his life, and the children he taught are also outstanding. Your brother Xue Shougang is now the prime minister, and he is even more humble. Be cautious. And you have found a good home. Xuanqing knows this, so you should be happy."
Hearing this, Xue Pan slowly stopped sobbing and saluted Yan Zhitui again: "Thank you, Mr. Yan."
"Why are you thanking him?" Xiao Han rolled his eyes and muttered in his heart, but when Xue Pan saw it, he just pulled him together to salute the old man.
"Hey, if you could have one-tenth of Xue Shou's conduct, you wouldn't be like this." When Yan Zhitui saw Xiao Han who was reluctant to salute, his expression changed a little. It couldn't be said to be a pity or something else. mean.
