Chapter 31 Sending goose feathers from thousands of miles away

My uncle's home is in Liulishi Hutong, near Gulou Street, in Dongcheng District, Beijing. Also living here is Fang Mingyuan's second aunt, Bai Ping's second sister, who is nearly sixty years old this year. Her daughter is the same age as Bai Ping.

One year old, and her granddaughter and Fang Mingyuan are also one year apart. In the previous life, Fan Mingyuan often heard from her family that when she was a child, she often grabbed things with her little niece, and sometimes she would yell and scream.

He was called a fool, and even his second aunt was called grandma. These things later became a weapon for the elders in the family to tease him, and he would still hear them occasionally until he was thirty years old. But in this life, Fang Mingyuan will definitely not

Made the same mistake.

With the help of her three cousins, Bai Ping's large and small luggage was sent home smoothly. As for the two elders of the Fang family, they naturally followed them back to the alley first, and then planned to find a guest house nearby.

Stay. As soon as Bai Ping entered Liulici Temple Hutong, there was an endless stream of people saying hello. For Fang Mingyuan, many of them knew each other. Of course, these were all memories from the previous life.

After entering the house, the three cousins ​​piled big and small bags together, then wiped their sweat and said: "Auntie, why did you bring so many things? No wonder uncle insisted on dragging the three of us into trouble.

I spent half the day working as a long-term worker."

Bai Ping stretched out her hand and gave it to Baoli, and scolded with a smile: "I brought you things, but you yourself are too heavy! He Jun, go look through and take away the things given to you."

He Jun found the luggage marked with his name in the luggage pile. He opened it and was a little dumbfounded. It was full of Qinxi's local specialties, and there were actually several bags of sauced beef and mutton. He was also a participant.

As a working person, I secretly estimated in my mind that this bag of things could not be bought for less than twenty or thirty yuan. Looking at the other bags, if they are all of this standard, Bai Ping will go home this time.

, just the things I brought to my relatives were worth more than 100 yuan. In 1984, this was not a small sum. Ordinary families who lived frugally may not be able to save this kind of money in a year.

"Auntie, this package belongs to my family?" He Jun asked hesitantly. Don't get it by mistake. My aunt will definitely be embarrassed to ask for it and spend more money to buy gifts. Now at this time, every family

We don't have much money, right?

"Take it, take it! It's all yours!" Bai Ping, who was busy arranging the arrangements for the two elders, waved her hand without looking back.

"What's wrong?" He Jian leaned over and asked a little strangely. He Jun opened the bag and let him take a look. He Jian's face couldn't help but change slightly. This gift from his aunt was quite generous.

Fang Mingyuan sat on a chair nearby and looked at them with some humor. These two cousins ​​later did very well. He Jun was the deputy prosecutor of the Capital City Procuratorate whom he wanted to call in the last life.

In fact, he had the opportunity to enter the Supreme People's Procuratorate, but for some unknown reason, he refused. As for He Jian, he later jumped out of the system and had a very wild career. People from all walks of life knew these two.

Cousin, they are also the two key people he wants to win over when he comes to the capital this time. In the previous life, their two mothers were very close to the Fang family, and Fang Mingyuan also took great care of him, but He Jun, He

Jian and Fang Mingyuan, however, are very different in age from Fang Mingyuan and have no common language, so they can only be regarded as acquaintances. In this life, Fang Mingyuan will not make the same mistakes again, and must firmly grasp the two of them from the beginning.

"You can't take so much, leave some for your aunt, otherwise our mother will definitely be unhappy if we go back!" He Jian said in a low voice, "My aunt's family is not easy, and a trip to the capital will definitely cost a lot of money. Can

Help me save some money."

"Brother He Jian, take it away. This was all planned before we came here. Every family has it!" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "My aunt and my mother are biological sisters, so this little thing is nothing. It's just a gift sent thousands of miles away.

Goose feathers are light on courtesy but heavy on affection, so you two brothers can just take them away."

First He Jun and He Jian were startled by Fang Mingyuan who suddenly interrupted, and then they were shocked by his words. The gift of more than 20 yuan was just taken away. This kid really dared to say,

The tone is not small.

"This kid is so smart. He actually knows that sending goose feathers thousands of miles away is more important than courtesy." My aunt laughed in surprise, "Then do you know the origin of this sentence?"

"Of course I know. The teacher said that when studying, you must know what is happening and why." Fang Mingyuan deliberately showed off in front of everyone, which would undoubtedly improve his status in their hearts.

"It is said that during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, in order to show respect for the Tang Dynasty, the Yunnan chieftain Mian clan sent his subordinate Mian Bogao to bring a batch of treasures and a very cute white swan to the capital to meet Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. On the way

, Mian Bogao took good care of the white swan. But when he arrived at a lake near Mianyang Lake, he saw that the white swan was very thirsty, so he let it go to the lake to drink water. Unexpectedly, after the white swan drank enough water, it spread its wings and flew away.

Go. The frightened Mian Bogao rushed forward, but only caught a goose feather. This made Mian Bogao so anxious that he burst into tears by the lake. But crying would not solve the problem. If he

Tang Taizong blamed him for not going to Chang'an, and the chieftain could not spare him. In the end, after much deliberation, he had no choice but to wrap the goose feather in brocade, and wrote a poem to see Tang Taizong. The poem has eight sentences.

, 'Swans pay tribute to the Tang Dynasty, the mountains are high and the roads are far away. The treasure is lost in Mianyang Lake, and he falls to the ground crying. I go to the emperor of the Tang Dynasty and ask him to spare his life. The courtesy is light but the affection is heavy, and the goose feathers are sent thousands of miles away.' Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty read this song

After the poem, instead of blaming Mian Bogao, he happily accepted the gift and gave back silk, tea, jade and other Central Plains specialties. He also stayed with Mian Bogao for a while. Mian Bogao was deeply moved and praised the court after returning to Yunnan.

Warmth. Later generations used this sentence to describe a gift that is light but deeply affectionate."

After Fang Mingyuan finished speaking, the room was silent. Except for the second elder of the Fang family and Bai Ping, who saw that Fang Mingyuan looked confident and mentally prepared, everyone else was shocked. Although the meaning of these words

Everyone knows it and uses it frequently, but few people know the specific source. Especially people like Fang Mingyuan who can even explain the era, characters, plot, and poems in it clearly, which is really rare.

Bai Lin and others looked at each other. They didn't know whether Fang Mingyuan's answer was correct. Auntie just asked casually and didn't expect to get any definite answer from Fang Mingyuan. But it sounded decent.

It seems to be true. Even if it is false, it is shocking that a seven-year-old child can make up such a story.

Seeing the surprised expressions on her brother, sister-in-law and several nephews' faces, Bai Ping felt extremely happy. Although she had long thought that her son would not act like a good boy honestly in the capital, but when she first arrived in the capital, even

To give my family two surprises is really to make myself look good.

"Xiao Ping, how did you educate this child and how do you know so much?" Bai Lin happily held Fang Mingyuan on his knees and repeated what he just said at the train station. His aunt was even more excited.

They were so surprised that they couldn't stop praising them. The two elders of the Fang family and Bai Ping were naturally so happy that the lines on their foreheads opened.

Fang Mingyuan was secretly happy: "How did you educate me? Of course it was the omniscient Baidu master! It seems that this is my first shot in Beijing!"
