He couldn't see clearly from afar, but when he got closer, he saw that the old farmer had white hair, a wrinkled face, and a piece of dead skin on his left cheek.
His eyes were blurry as he listened to his grandson's lecture and laughed from time to time.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and shouted,"Brother!"
"Eh?" The old farmer looked back. The child was a little afraid of strangers and immediately stopped chanting after hearing the shout.
"What's the matter?" The old farmer asked coldly.”
"I want to talk to you. May I ask how old I am this year?”
"Forty-two!"
Only in his forties?
However, from his appearance, he was clearly in his sixties!
How could he be so old?
Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of the answer. Life forced him!
"How's the year going?"
The old farmer said," It's okay if you don't look forward. It snowed last year, so the ground is quite fat."”
"It rained again before spring, so I saved a lot of effort when plowing the ground!”
"As the old saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning.”
"As long as we start, everything will be fine.”
The old farmer looked at him in surprise, but he did not answer.
This person should be a husband!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the child and took out a soft candy from his pocket."Here, eat."
The child hid behind the old farmer timidly, but his eyes were filled with anticipation.
He could only eat one such candy during the New Year.
"Child, take it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang stuffed it into his hands and sat down beside the old farmer."Was this child studying just now?"
"Yeah!" The old farmer opened the candy and carefully smelled it before putting it into the child's mouth.
"What do you think of the writing just now?" Kong Zhao asked hurriedly.”
"How is it?"
"It's quite interesting to read!"
Interesting?
What kind of evaluation was this?
Although the letter of advice to farmers had not been issued yet, the bet between the Hanlin Academy and Liao Zhai had already spread!
Kong Zhao cursed in his heart. His research results had ended up like playing the lute to a cow?
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and said,"How can it be interesting?"”
"The Hanlin Academy's agricultural advice letter is quite formal!”
Who knew that when he heard this, the old farmer suddenly looked at him strangely."Who said that my grandson was reading…"
He stammered,"Is that the so-called advice on farming books?"”
"No?" Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, while Kong Zhao was instantly stunned. He didn't care about the etiquette between monarch and minister and directly asked,"Then…"
"He just remembered that agriculture is the foundation of the world.”
"Isn't this the sentence written in the imperial court's letter to persuade farmers?”
The old farmer shook his head." I really don't know what a book to persuade farmers is. The book that my grandson just read was something he got when he came back from school."”
"Call..."
"Call..."
The child was eating candy happily, so sweet that his heart was about to melt. When he heard this, he immediately said,"Fan Jin is in the middle!"
"A big brother gave it to me on the way back from school!”
Fan Jin was elected?
Zhu Yuanzhang was filled with suspicion and turned to look at Song Lian. Song Lian shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of it before!
He was well-read!
"Big brother, can you let us take a look?”
"Well, it was sent by someone else anyway, but you have to be careful not to break it.”
"I'll lose some fun when I'm farming like this!”
Kong Zhao was furious when he heard that the child was not reading his own book.
This was even more humiliating than playing the lute to a cow.
"Tao Yuanming once said that a hut should be built in the human realm, without the noise of carriages and horses."”
"If I ask you how you can do this, your heart will naturally be biased!”
"Picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence, leisurely looking at Nanshan!”
"The mountain air is good day and night, and the birds return together.”
"There's true meaning here.”
"Farming is a happy thing. Why use other means to seek happiness?”
"Happy?"
The old farmer couldn't hold it in any longer and said,"" Happy my ass!"
Kong Zhao was instantly shaken by the scolding and said,"Vulgar! Vulgar!"
At this moment, the child took out a book from the cloth bag. There were four big words on the cover: "Fan Jin is in the middle!"
"This name is interesting!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.”
"In the end, it's just a person passing the imperial examination. What's there to write about?”
"There's a saying: "
"Some people resigned and returned to their hometown, while others rushed to the examination field at night.”
"Young people don't know the taste of sorrow, but when they are old, they know that the road is difficult!”
"When Fan Jinjin returned home from school, his mother and wife were delighted. Just as he was about to cook, his father-in-law, Butcher Hu, walked in with a large intestine and a bottle of wine in his hands.”
" Butcher Hu said," I'm unlucky to have married my daughter to you, this treasure of the present world. I don't know how much it has tired me over the years!”
The book began with the outline of an incompetent scholar who had been given a scholar position by the Grandmaster due to his old age.
However, this kind of diploma was not recognized by scholars, so it was not very useful. If one wanted to stand out, one had to be a juren.
His father-in-law mocked and mocked him, and in the end, he scolded him directly. Every word was poking at his spine!
However, Fan Jin did not dare to resist at all. If he was asked to deal with the large intestine, he would be at a loss. In the end, he would have to hand it over to his wife.
Even the work in the fields was handed over to his old mother and wife, while he squatted at home and read the scriptures day and night.
They had long lost their limbs and could not differentiate between the five grains!
When Butcher Hu asked him to put down his pride and improve the family first, Fan Jin said in a set of words,""Father-in-law."
"In my actions, I'm always serious and dignified. I have to set up a proper system for everything.”
"Those farmers and scavengers at the door are just ordinary people!”
"If I were to bow to him and be on equal footing with him, wouldn't that be breaking the school's rules?”
"Even you are embarrassed!"
After reading up to this point, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the Hanlin beside Kong Zhao.
He could already feel some charm from it.
