Eight Hills in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Vol 4 Chapter 2524: Persuade mother to enter Beijing as an example

   In the night, Jingkou, Suanshan Township, Liujia Village.

   Liu Yu’s house is still the same as before, a large courtyard surrounded by loess and several halls. And the one facing the earth room is still Xiao Wenshou’s bedroom. The old lady is over 60 years old, with white hair, but she is very energetic, sitting on the couch in the main room, looking at the kneeling in front of her. Liu Yu, smiling: "Da Lang, okay, you are willing to come back and see your mother."

Liu Yu looked at the room. Only Liu Daogui’s wife, Wei Yongzhi’s younger brother Wei Fangfang, was still wearing filial obedience. Standing on the side, three clumsy servants stood behind Wei Fangfang, and he was the only one in this room. Man now.

Liu Yu sighed: "The child is not filial and cannot serve his mother, and the second and third brothers are now doing things for the country. Since the second brother has married and separated, he has gone to Pengcheng. Mother, please be respected by your eldest brother!"

As he said, he stood up and bowed to Wei Fangfang. Wei Fangfang repaid the gift while wiping tears in his eyes: "My brother's funeral is mostly taken care of by my elder brother. I am very grateful for my family. And since I am now Liu's wife , That serving the mother-in-law and taking care of the family is part of the job, so why bother to say thanks?!"

   Liu Yu nodded: "I came back this time not only to visit my mother and younger siblings, but also to discuss with you, please move temporarily and live in Jiankang."

An unpleasant look flashed across Xiao Wenshou's face: "Da Lang, I have said it many times. Your father's grave and our Xiao family's grave are all in Jingkou. This is our former residence. This is your roots for how old an official is. After you disarm and return to the fields, you will also come back. So many brothers who joined you in the army, such as the roots of Qianhe Village and Yucheng of Houkan Township, not all of them have come home. Divided the land, bought a property, married a daughter-in-law, and gave birth to a baby. Isn’t it all good? I heard that some people sold their family property and went to Jiankang to make a fortune, but they did nothing. That savings has been spent."

"Da Lang, we are all honest country folks. This is our ancestral residence and our home. If you want to be an official in the court, it is only necessary to live in Beijing for the time being, but I have this old bone. What do you want to do in Beijing? When you get there, you can’t raise chickens and spin cloth. How can you tell me how to live?"

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Mother, you are already an elderly person. You don't need to do these farming jobs anymore. I blame the child for being unfilial. There has never been a chance for you to enjoy the blessing, but now, the child should let you Enjoy the blessings. Now in the capital, according to the regulations, my mansion is very large, with enough space for you to raise chickens, land for you to grow, and spinning wheels for you to weave. You can do whatever you want."

   Xiao Wenshou was still a little reluctant, and opened his mouth: "Then, what about your father's grave and our old Xiao family's grave?"

Liu Yu sighed: "Mother, your ancestor was in Lanling, in Qingzhou, Qidi. If you say that the ancestors of the Xiao family were all there, as for our ancestors of the Liu family, they were in Pengcheng, in Suiyuli, and later went to After arriving in Chang'an, we settled in Guanzhong, and then moved here again. Although we Han people relocate to the land, we can’t guard our homeland for generations. There will always be a day when we leave. Just bring the tablet and make sacrifices to our relatives. Just stay with us."

The corner of Xiao Wenshou’s mouth twitched: "Da Lang, tell me the truth. You used to be a general in the army, and you had a government office in Jiankang City, but you never asked me to move in. Regarding the capital, why do I have to move out this time? Is there any reason?"

Liu Yu nodded: "A mother is a mother. Since childhood, I can't hide anything from you. No matter, I'll tell you the truth. It's because of old brothers like the root of the tree and Yucheng, they would rather go back to the hometown to plant Land, I don’t want to go to the city, and I don’t want to change. Therefore, I have to take the lead. I have to be the first to go to the city to settle down and be the first to let my family read and calligraphy. Changed."

Xiao Wenshou nodded thoughtfully: "A few months ago, some prefaces were made in Jingkou City, and some teachers came here. They said that they would let the children of the big guys go to study and calligraphy, but almost no one went there. When you sign up for school, everyone says, what's the use of learning Chinese characters? Those scholars are now stepping on our feet. Doesn't it just mean that we can be rich without literacy?"

Liu Yu sighed: "Mother, you are also the daughter of the county magistrate. You should know that only reading can make people understand. Only with culture and human vision can knowledge be stronger. If it wasn't your persistence, I would be afraid of me. You can’t go home because you understand the righteousness and are more knowledgeable than ordinary village women. Yes, the people of Jingkou are simple and simple, they are brave and good at war, but it is easy to fight the world, and it is difficult to rule the world. In the end, if you want to govern the people, you can’t Just rely on fists and screams like a child did before, but knowledge and culture."

"In the past, we people in Jingkou had no status, were bullied, and even had no chance to go to school to learn to read, but now that children are in power, we won't let this happen again. The children of meritorious soldiers must go to school and learn. Text hyphenation ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This has no conflict with Xiwu to strengthen one's body and serve the country from the army. A soldier can only be wise and courageous only if he has culture, and he can not only charge into battle, but also command thousands of troops and win thousands of miles.

   Xiao Wenshou was excited and praised excitedly: "Well said, Da Lang. But, you want me to move out here and live in the capital, what does it have to do with letting the folks learn culture?"

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Because, if I want everyone to learn to read, then I have to lead by example and let my children go to school first. Now Xingdi is my only daughter, and she is married to Kuizhi. I I was thinking that only by letting you move into Jiankang City to live in, can this ancestral house be vacated, and Xingdi and his wife can come back to live for a period of time. Only if Xingdi take the lead to study literature, people see that my daughter Liu Yu If they took the lead to go to school, they are not ashamed to stop their children from school again.

  Wei Fangfang laughed: "Big brother is really thinking about it. I thought you just wanted my mother to go to the city to enjoy the good."

   Xiao Wenshou frowned slightly, turned his head and said to Wei Fangfang: "Fangfang, you go out first, I have something to tell Dalang."

When there were only mother and son left in the room, Xiao Wenshou sighed softly and looked at Liu Yu's eyes: "Dalang, you give me a clear message, how long will it last for you and your love to be like this now? In this life, will I still have a chance to see my wife again?!"
