Talk about the world of mortals in detail

In the Yi family courtyard, those who should be busy in the kitchen were still busy, and only a few people heard the noise and came out to see.

Yi Abao's wife Lu, with her slightly bulging belly holding her four-year-old daughter and six-year-old son in her left and right hands, was listening and looking curiously in the living room.

Lu is the younger sister of Yi Abao's former classmate and best friend at Yuezhou Academy. She is a lady in the true sense of the word.

Such a well-educated and refined girl is naturally very dear to the Yi family. In addition, Ms. Lu's own body is indeed relatively weak, so she should try to give Ms. Lu as much rest as possible if there is any big job.

Even though he has lived in the countryside for a long time, Lu's vision is still not comparable to that of ordinary country people. After looking at it for a while, he realized that this visitor was definitely not simple. Especially when he saw Zhang Liangxi's face, he was even more surprised.

At this moment, the guests came in. After receiving the greetings, Mr. Lu went to the backyard.

Just walking and thinking about what I just saw, my mind will inevitably become a little more reverie, making it difficult to restrain myself.

"Xiaofang, help me take care of the child, I'll go to the study!"

"yes!"

Mrs. Lu asked the maid to take care of the child while she walked towards the study, walking faster and faster. If she wasn't pregnant, she would probably run a few steps.

Over there in the study room, Yi Abao was writing furiously.

As the New Year is approaching, Ah Bao has to write all the Spring Festival couplets with the characters "Fu" and "Fu" in the whole village. This has almost become a routine in Xihe Village. He has to change the method and change the tricks. The similarity cannot be too high. It has to be said that this is also the case. A technical job.

"Ms. sir~"

Lu's voice came from outside, and then she opened the door and walked in.

As soon as Yi Abao saw his wife, a smile suddenly appeared on his face. Among so many friends, his brother-in-law Lu Yongwen was the most interesting, and he actually facilitated the marriage between his sister and himself.

"Ling'er, it's so busy in front. Is it because Grandpa Uncle's friends have arrived?"

Mr. Lu nodded and walked towards the desk.

"Ms. Sir, the people who come to visit Mr. Bo are not ordinary people. Even the entourage is a person of extraordinary bearing!"

Yi Abao put down the pen in his hand and reached out to hold his wife's hand.

"That's natural. How can Grandpa Uncle's friends be ordinary people? By the way, during the Chinese New Year this year, you can take your children with me and ask Grandpa Uncle to leave some calligraphy treasures."

Mrs. Lu smiled, knowing that her brother would mention Mo Bao every time he saw her husband. She had to say that she was willing to be with Yi Abao because his calligraphy was so beautiful. Who knew it was because of his family education.

"Ms. sir, this is not urgent. Listen to me. The visitors this time are really, well, how should I put it? Among them is an old man who is quite a year old. He is full of energy and has a clean face. Do you think he looks like him or not?"

Yi Abao's heart skipped a beat when his wife said it, and the implication behind his words was somewhat imaginative.

"You mean he might be a father-in-law?"

Mr. Lu thought for a while and said.

"I'm not sure, but my husband, you shouldn't be in the study room right now. You should go to the living room!"

Today's visitors may be relatives of the emperor.

Yi Abao thought for a moment and frowned slightly.

"We naturally got to know each other while eating. Even if you are a powerful person, there is no need to force yourself up."

Mr. Lu smiled angrily and changed his words.

"Who asked you to cling to the powerful? You are a distinguished visitor, and you don't seek vanity or wealth, but you must not lose your etiquette. You are the only scholar in the family, why don't you go to keep me company? Ordinary relatives are here, how can you not go? "

Yi Abao frowned.

"What you said is true. It's your husband's fault. When distinguished guests come to your home, it is basic etiquette to go out and greet them!"

So Yi Abao put down the things in the study and went to the front yard. When he arrived at the door of the living room, he saw someone standing outside the hall. He was obviously a follower, but he was also tall, tall and majestic. Looking at the courtyard door again, it seemed that there was someone outside. Didn't come in.

When the man outside the hall saw Yi Abao bowing his hand to him, he just nodded slightly in return and didn't react too much, as if he was a piece of wood.

The atmosphere in the living room was lively, and there was no formality between host and guest when chatting. When Yi Abao walked over, he heard people talking about the incident in Lingdong.

"When I first heard that Mr. Yi used his medical skills to treat Lingdong victims, he even entered the city sealed by the plague alone. When I got the news, I was really relieved and worried at the same time!"

The emperor was still filled with emotion when he mentioned what happened back then. People's hearts are most touched when the family and country are in crisis. Of course, he doesn't want this to happen too often.

"Hahahaha, yes, yes, I was shocked when I heard about it!"

Tan Yuanshang's laughter was particularly loud.

Yi Abao outside heard this and couldn't help but pause in his steps. It turned out that when the Lingdong disaster happened, his uncle was also there?

Especially when he heard that his uncle was going into Plague City, Abao subconsciously glanced in the direction of the kitchen, but luckily his grandfather didn't hear it.

"Abao, what are you doing standing there? Come in and greet the guests!"

Yi Shuyuan's voice came, and Yi Abao came back to his senses and hurriedly entered the hall.

In the living room, instead of two rows of chairs on the left and right, there is a charcoal basin. Many people pull up chairs and stools and gather around the basin to keep warm and chat. It is very informal, but also very relaxing.

Everyone looked at Yi Abao sideways when he came in. It was also the first time that he saw clearly the appearance of the guests in the room. As his wife said, all of them had extraordinary bearings. He did not dare to stare, but hurriedly saluted.

"Junior Yi Abao, I heard that a distinguished guest is coming to visit, so I came here to pay my respects!"

"You don't need to be polite, we came here to disturb you! By the way, Mr. Yi, where is your grandnephew employed? Has he ever obtained any honors?"

The emperor doesn't have any dignity in the palace at this moment, that is, he is an old man with a distinguished status. Of course, although this old man comes to visit for the first time, he is very clear about the affairs of the Yi family, and he simply knows what he is asking.

It's just that Yi Abao didn't know it himself, so he quickly answered after hearing this.

"I also participated in the imperial examination. I just went to the capital to see the colorful world. On the contrary, I felt that it was peaceful to return home. I couldn't pass the exam so I went home. Now I teach at Yuezhou Academy!"

The emperor nodded and said nothing more. He had seen many talented people in the world, and his experience with Yi Abao was just ordinary.

However, Tan Yuanshang immediately praised him.

"If Mr. Yi can stand out from the provincial examination, he is very knowledgeable! Being recognized by Yuezhou Academy is enough to prove that Mr. Yi is also a talented person!"

Everyone knows that those who gain fame in the capital are the best, and the royal relatives in the capital are used to seeing talented people from all over the world.

But in fact, the scholars who can stand out in the autumn and are qualified to go to the capital are also very remarkable. In some places, they are even rare.

And Yuezhou Academy is indeed a very famous academy, and people in the capital will also hear about it. From this point of view, Yi Abao must be talented.

Tan Yuanshang's compliment made Yi Abao a little embarrassed and subconsciously glanced at Yi Shuyuan.

"How can I dare to express my talents in front of my uncle?"

"Okay, okay, that brat has arranged for me to leave if I want to, and stay if I want to."

Yi Shuyuan laughed and cursed, Yi Abao really didn't want to leave at this moment, so he borrowed the donkey from the slope and brought a shorter stool to sit next to his uncle and grandfather, listening to their chat.

The emperor also reacted and looked at Yi Abao a few more times.

"Actually, I know a little bit about you. The Yi family has a good family tradition. If you are determined to serve the country, you can take more imperial examinations!"

"Junior took note of it!"

Yi Abao had no choice but to answer this, but what he didn't know was that the weight of the old man's words was actually much heavier than he imagined.

Yi Shuyuan looked over. Seeing this, the emperor smiled and said no more. He always felt like kidnapping a child in front of the elders, even though the child should be almost 30 years old.

The conversation continued in the hall, and no more words were said about the imperial examination of the younger generation.

——

In Abao's eyes, there were many things, perhaps because he was afraid that his grandfather would worry him, so he didn't say much when he came back.

But Abao knew that his uncle was definitely not just an ordinary storyteller outside. The letter from that year was one of the best explanations.

Nowadays, even if you just listen to a few words, you can get a glimpse of something, and Abao can also think of some thrilling processes.

It was also during the chat in the living room that Yi Abao also learned the identity of the visitor. The noble man who had praised him was named Tan, and it was said that he was related to the Tan family in the capital.

The obviously higher-status old man claimed to have no job. He was a person who rarely went out at home for a long time, so he cherished this outing very much.

As for Zhang Liangxi and the younger generations of the Tan family, they rarely spoke to each other like Yi Abao.

In short, the identity of the visitor is not simple, and it further confirms Yi Abao's conjecture. How could Grandpa Uncle, an ordinary storyteller, know so many important people? Who is Long Feiyang?

The conversation in the living room was not only about Yi Shuyuan's affairs, but also occasionally related to some world affairs and even the government's decrees. Some words even sounded a bit rebellious to Yi Abao, and he couldn't help but secretly gasp. As for interrupting to speak, Don't dare anymore.

In fact, except for Tan Yuanshang who would interrupt and say a few words, the old man and Yi Shuyuan were mostly talking.

The kitchen was very busy, and the aroma was gradually wafting over.

"Well, throughout the thirty years of Chengxing, not to mention the martial arts, there are still a lot of regrets."

The emperor was filled with emotion. Yi Shuyuan seemed to understand what the emperor was talking about and just smiled and sighed.

"Time is destiny!"

The emperor had great ambitions to rectify the country, including various political decrees and military reforms. In addition to consolidating the country, the emperor also had ambitions for the Northern Expedition.

Most of the Changfeng Lake grain-producing plain disappeared, disrupting not only the emperor's grand plans, but also affecting all aspects.

Before I could catch my breath, Lingdong suffered from successive disasters, and the imperial court mobilized the whole country to rescue them. The hardships were not just what Chu Hang and Li Qian encountered during the disaster relief work in Lingdong.

As the saying goes, one thing affects the whole body, involving people's livelihood across the country, and even border defense. It was also the most dangerous moment for Dayong. The old governor Zou Jie was waiting at the border.

It took many years for Changfeng Lake and Lingdong to recover from the crisis, and then there were many political changes. They were slowly managed and rectified, and everything was gradually straightened out.

But in the blink of an eye, the emperor himself was getting older. Over the years, he felt increasingly weak in energy and his health was deteriorating.

"Hey, I always feel like I haven't done much yet and I don't have much time."

The emperor said with a self-deprecating smile. This sentence was almost muttered to himself, and Yi Shuyuan also laughed.

"This is a lot of work!"

"A lot?"

The emperor looked up at Yi Shuyuan, who suppressed his smile, looked at the emperor calmly but seriously, nodded.

"A lot!"

This sentence made the emperor feel a great sense of relief. When Yu Guozuo, a courtier in the court, said this sentence, it did not have as much weight as the words of an expert who had been secretly working for the country for many years.

"Oh, by the way, I went hunting in the mountains this fall and hunted a strange beast. Let me talk to my husband about it."

Ignoring the part about the royal battle, it was not difficult for the emperor to explain clearly the absurd dream and what happened afterwards.

"Sir, look, this leather is made into a vest, and it's very warm!"

The emperor said as he pulled his collar, revealing a bit of vest fur inside. Seeing Yi Shuyuan smile, he continued.

"In this world, the theory of monsters has always existed. Sometimes I also wonder, if there is a life-extending magic medicine, can you lend it to me for another twenty years?"

Tan Yuanshang pretended to be dissatisfied and spoke.

"You are in good spirits now and you are not very old. Why do you need to borrow it for twenty years?"

"Yes, yes, what Mr. Tan said is true. You are just too tired. Just rest more!"

Zhang Liangxi couldn't help but say this now.

After all, the emperor is actually less than sixty years old. Today, there are many relatives of the emperor who are seventy, eighty or even older. The emperor has more protection and should live longer.

However, Yi Shuyuan shook his head slightly, glanced at Abao, who had been thoughtfully beside him, smiled from the corner of his eyes, and spoke calmly.

"Yi has some knowledge of strange arts. To be honest, if a person in this position has such aura, neither evil nor medicine will be able to move."

This may be half-understood to some people present, but to some it is already quite clear.

Even if there is a magic medicine, if an emperor like today takes it, it will not have any effect. Even if it does exist, it will only be a temporary illusion and will cause more losses.

Emperor Dayong is the most respected person in the world. This is not the position of a simple emperor, but his power and status have reached this level, and the shackles he receives are far beyond those of ancient and modern emperors.

If God could speak, he might jokingly say: Ordinary emperors don’t have to think about it, so why not let you live for a few more decades?
