"Three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo, the prophet of the plumbing duck in the spring river. Artemisia is full of short reed buds, which is the time when the puffer fish wants to eat. Xu Kang recited Su Dongpo's "Hui Chong Spring River Evening Scene" aloud in a crisp and childish Beijing accent, and his left hand was behind his back, and his right hand was raised to his chest.

This is already the tenth ancient poem that the little guy has recited, and after reciting, he immediately won the applause and praise of the girls in the cabin.

Xie Xiaowan looked at her son, who was about to turn four years old, with a smile in her eyes, and a hint of pride in her eyes. Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang were full of envy, and secretly touched their flat lower abdomen, and invariably cast resentful glances at Xu Jin.

Master Xu couldn't help but sweat secretly, saying that since he returned to Beijing at the end of last year, he had been very diligent in running to the room of Ruyi and Jixiang, but now that more than a month has passed, the stomachs of the two girls don't seem to have moved, maybe ...... It will take two months to react, Master Xu comforted himself.

"Ahem, little monkey come here, Daddy will tell you about your purpose." Xu Jin coughed lightly.

"Well, children love to listen to their father's stories." Xiao Xu Kang happily threw himself into Xu Jin's arms.

Xu Jin cleared his throat and said in a low voice: "Taihang, Wangwu two mountains, seven hundred miles square, ten thousand miles high. This is in the south of Jizhou, the north of Heyang......"

What Xu Jin is telling at this moment is the popular fable "The Fool Moves the Mountain". The synopsis of the story is that there is a ninety-year-old man named Yu Gong, who lives in the north of the mountain, and every time he goes to the south of the mountain, he has to cross the mountains and mountains, which is very troublesome, so Yu Gong has a whim, calling on the whole family to go out, trying to dig up this mountain to facilitate future travel. And just as Yugong's family was digging the mountain in full swing, Zhisuo came to persuade them.

Zhisuo said: "Foolish, don't be stupid, this mountain is so high and big, your life is limited, and in the end it will only be a waste of strength, why bother! ”

Yu Gong choked back: "Although my life is limited, I still have sons, sons will have grandchildren, and grandsons will give birth to sons, children and grandchildren, endlessly, and the mountain is only so high, it will not increase by a cent, and one day it will be dug up." ”

Yu Gong's words happened to be heard by the mountain god, and the mountain god reported to the emperor, and the emperor was very moved after hearing it, so he ordered two Hercules to go down to the earth to move the mountain away.

Xu Jin finished telling the fable of "The Fool Moves the Mountain" and said with a smile: "Little monkey, what do you understand after listening to this story?" ”

Xiao Xu Kang said with a smile: "This story Erniang has told the child, which means that you must have perseverance and perseverance in doing things, and you can't give up lightly. ”

The ancients liked to hurry up for everything, go out early, do things early, and read books as soon as possible. Xu Kang was also born with a golden key, he has no worries about food and clothing since he was a child, and the two aunts are all beautiful ladies from a scholarly family, and Xiaowan also attaches great importance to education, so Xiao Xu Kang began to enlighten at the age of three, and it was taught by the Fei sisters themselves, so the little guy can recite "Hundred Family Names" and "Thousand Character Text" before the age of four, plus nearly fifty ancient poems.

Xu Jin said with a smile: "It is true that you must be persistent and persevering in doing things, but you must also learn to judge the situation, weigh the gains and losses, and make the right trade-offs." For example, the foolish man in this story, just for the convenience of travel, tried to hollow out a mountain, and he only had to move, but he wanted to do such a thankless job, not only wasting his own life, but also asking future generations to waste their lives like him, which is extremely stupid. ”

Xiao Xu Kang's eyes lit up and said: "The child understands, I heard my mother say that my father used to sell a few acres of ancestral land in his hometown, and raised money to move into the city to study, which is why he has today's achievements." ”

Xu Jin laughed and said: "That's the reason, remember, there are no gods in this world at all, if you choose the wrong direction, no matter how hard you try, you won't have good results, and moving the gods is just nonsense." Therefore, when life forces you to be cornered, you must learn to be flexible and learn to make trade-offs, even if it is a cub who sells his field, it is not shameful. ”

Four-year-old Xiao Xu Kang nodded as if he didn't understand. Xie Xiaowan, Fei Ruyi and Fei Jixiang glanced at each other helplessly, and the husband was instilling some "deviant" ideas in Kang'er again.

Xu Jin touched his son's little brain and said with a smile: "Little monkey, Daddy will tell you another story of "Carving a Boat for a Sword"!" ”

"Don't!" The three girls spoke in unison, their beautiful eyes looked at Xu Jin in unison, and Fei Ruyi also beckoned: "Kang'er comes to Erniang, Erniang will pluck your ears." ”

Xu Kang, the little guy, immediately happily ran into his second mother's arms and obediently lay on Fei Ruyi's knees.

Master Xu, who had no chance to destroy the classics again, had to stand up and stretch, and walked out of the deck.

It is the middle of February now, the weather is getting warmer and warmer, the melting spring sunshine is sprinkled on the body, the warm spring breeze blows head-on, it is very comfortable, but the grass on both sides of the canal is green, the willows are like a pile of smoke, this scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is really beautiful.

Xu Jin stood on the deck, basking in the sun, while enjoying the scenery on the canal, his mood was indescribably relaxed and happy, after all, there was no official business in the south this time, and he was light and had nothing to do, plus he had his wife and children by his side, so this journey was very hapi.

It is said that Xu Jin left the Tongzhou wharf on the eighteenth day of the first month, and took his wife and children to return to Jiangxi Province by boat from the canal to Jiangxi Province to worship his ancestors, and attended the wedding of his second uncle by the way. And now it is February 12, after nearly a month, the ship finally entered the boundary of Hangzhou, Zhejiang, and it is estimated that there is still half a day to reach Hangzhou.

Xu Jin's plan was to go to Hangzhou first, and then take a horse-drawn carriage back to Shangrao County, Jiangxi Province, because it would save a lot of time. If you go up the Yangtze River to Jiujiang in Yangzhou, then go up to Nanchang against the Ganjiang River, and finally go back to Shangrao against the Xinjiang River, I am afraid it will take more than twice as much time, so it is undoubtedly a wise choice to take the line of Hangzhou.

Unlike the year before last, Xu Jin went south this time for personal matters, so there was no huge fleet of Qincha ships, and there were no Jinyi guards who hugged each other, only a bow boat, and a personal soldier with maids and guards on it, a total of only about fifty people.

On the afternoon of February 12 in the fourth year of Jiajing, the ship finally arrived at the wharf in Hangzhou, but when the ship docked, Xu Jin was surprised to find that there were groups of local officials waiting on the wharf.

Xu Jin was puzzled, only thinking that there were other officials visiting Hangzhou, and at this moment, he suddenly saw a familiar guy mixed in the local officials, this cargo was stretching his neck and eyes to look at the boat, when he saw Xu Jin who appeared on the gangplank, this cargo immediately lit up, jumped and waved his hand and shouted: "Ten uncles, ten uncles!" ”

Xu Jin frowned imperceptibly, because this son is not someone else, it is the same thing as Da Han, how could this nasty fly be here?
