Ye Jing looked at Ye Chunqiu helplessly, hoping that Ye Chunqiu would respond quickly to avoid embarrassment.

Ye Chunqiu felt that this father was tiring enough to live, and couldn't bear to make things difficult for him, so he smiled and said, "Yes, I like these dishes very much. I usually can't eat such good dishes in Ningbo."

The third uncle still stroked his beard and smiled: "This is not that my uncle is arrogant to you. You must know that this Zicheng." When he said that Zicheng, he looked at the clan uncle with confidence.

It turns out that the clan Bo's name is Zicheng.

The third uncle continued: "This son will definitely win the provincial examination in the current year. Next year, it will be a master. In short, sooner or later, this is an official. This is not a boast, but even Mr. Lu Ming said so. He will soon become an official. What is the most important thing for an official? Do you think you don't know when Emperor Taizu was there? When he encountered a natural disaster, the food was poor in various places, and the people's lives were very difficult, but some officials and nobles were extravagant and wanted to spend the whole world. Emperor Taizu got up between the fields and the country, and survived the poverty. He was very angry about this and was determined to rectify it. On the birthday of Empress Ma, Taizu took advantage of the ministers' birthday to celebrate his birthday and held a big banquet, intending to serve guests with simple food. Look, these fried radishes are all kinds of medicines. The folk proverb has radishes on the market and the medicine shop closed.

It is said that there are fried leeks, which are evergreen all year round, symbolizing long-term stability; and fried green vegetables, isn’t this the meaning of being an honest official and a green wind? You see, Taizu is like this, which is considered to be a hard work. If Zicheng becomes an official in the future, he can certainly spend money on his own, but he cannot. Why, if he lives a luxury, wouldn’t he be impeached by the censor and let his subordinates look at him, and his subordinates dare not get close to him. This is not good, and he will suffer a great loss in the future. So I warned him that when he usually eats, he only needs these four dishes and one soup. This is the frugality imitating Taizu, and he will praise all officials in the future. If the emperor hears it, he will not be summoned to the Lord of the Lord to bathe in great grace. In short, our Ye family in Hangzhou needs to live a frugal life, and we must not be able to pick out and talk about it."

Damn it makes sense.

Ye Chunqiu never expected that the third uncle could see so long. I was afraid that he had already thought about the matter of joining the clan master into the cabinet and becoming the chief master. Fortunately, his imagination was not big enough, otherwise he would have been thinking about letting the clan master follow Wang Mang's humbleness and courteousness, respecting the wise and ruthless people, and then usurping the Han Dynasty as the emperor.

After the third uncle said that, he seemed to be choking in his throat. He waved his hand. The maid who was serving him brought a silver spittoon. He spit out turbid things in one mouthful and breathed a long sigh: "Zicheng is a late-stage person. I have found someone to calculate his fortune for him. I wasted a little bit of his life. I only became famous in this subject. He entered the official career one step slower than others. When he became an official in the future, he should be walking on thin ice and was very cautious. Therefore, he only ate four dishes and one soup here. Come on, you can try it too."

Ye Jing hurriedly picked up the chopsticks to pick up the pickled radish handed by Uncle San with his chopsticks.

Ye Chunqiu felt very glad that he was too far away from his third uncle, so there was no one who stuffed his bowl with vegetables and radishes.

The clan uncle smiled and said, "Spring and Autumn, you should eat more tofu soup. If you eat tofu, the young man should be as light as water."

Ye Chunqiu reluctantly agreed, seeing that they were eating with relish, especially the stir-fried vegetables, they swept them all in a moment.

I believe that the clan man likes to be honest and honest.

During the meal, I couldn't help but talk about writing articles. The clan man shook his head: "Last time I found a test question, which called "The gentleman has no food for the end, Ziyi, do you know how to solve the question?"

Ye Jing is old. Although he has studied hard these days, his level has naturally been greatly reduced compared to the clan who has been studying behind closed doors for decades. Moreover, he is prepared and has been stumbled for a long time, but he can't remember where the question comes from.

When the third uncle saw Ye Jing's embarrassment, he smiled and said, "Zicheng, don't make things difficult for Ziyi. Dad knows that you have profound knowledge, but Ziyi is your brother. How can you use knowledge to make things difficult for him? The most important thing about studying is to compare with yourself. Never know that the world is high because you are well-educated. You must know that there is heaven beyond the sky and there are people beyond the people. You can challenge Ziyi today, but tomorrow if you meet someone like the Tianguan and Prince of the Ministry of Personnel in Nanjing."

Ye Chunqiu was about to spit out an old blood, and he could no longer eat.

But the clan uncle looked ashamed and quickly apologized: "Yes, yes, it's my son Meng Lang, and his son shouldn't make things difficult for Ziyi."

After dinner, Ye Jing accompanied the third uncle and his son to the hall to have tea and sit leisurely. Ye Chunqiu borrowed some trouble and said that he wanted to go back to study. The clan uncle smiled and said, "Chunqiu, since it is to do homework, my uncle will not be able to keep you. If you have any difficulties in your studies in the future, just ask me, and I will naturally solve your doubts."

Ye Chunqiu wanted to say something, but he still held it back and said with a smile: "Yes, my nephew knows it."

He left obediently and finally left the hall. He saw the thick night outside and breathed the air in the night. Ye Chunqiu breathed a long sigh of relief.

Life is like a year, why don’t the damn examiner come out after the exam period?

In fact, he is now hungry, and he hasn't eaten half a bowl of rice just now. He has done a lot of money and only ate one leaf of vegetables and two pickled radishes. Oh, by the way, and the gentleman-like tofu that symbolizes the flawless white jade.

When he returned to the room, he felt very uncomfortable for his father, but he didn't know what he was going to say to his third uncle and his clan uncle again.

Well, he didn't want to practice running script anymore, so he simply lay on the couch, closed his eyes and turned on his brain, and looked for some information to read.

When it was late at night, Ye Jing tiptoed back, as if he was afraid that Ye Chunqiu would make noise, so he tried not to make any noise, just like a night owl.

Ye Chunqiu coughed intentionally.

Ye Jing stopped hearing the movement.

Ye Chunqiu was not good at pretending to be asleep, so he simply got up and said, "Dad, what did the third uncle and his clan uncle say?"

Seeing that Ye Chunqiu was not sleeping, Ye Jing relaxed his spirits and said, "Why don't you light up your third uncle? He naturally taught some principles of being a human being. Your clan's uncle has a profound knowledge. I will also benefit a lot from listening to his explanation of Cheng Zhu's annotations. Your clan's uncle is very good."

Ye Chunqiu didn't expose anything, but just smiled: "Well, dad, are you hungry? I'm hungry."

"Ah" Ye Jing was also hungry, but he was not convenient to say so, so he had to say, "If you go to the chef to ask for food, you are afraid that it will be passed on to the third uncle and make them unhappy. Oh, I'll go out and go out to buy some."
