Thank you very much for the reward from Tange (200)!

After Luo Xin left the Lu Mansion, he did not go home immediately, but would go to Zhou Zhi County, and then listen to Zhou Zhi County's guidance, and Zhang Xun would also come to Zhou Mansion that day to be with Zhou Yu, and the three brothers would listen to Zhou Zhi County's teaching of Shi Wen and art. And Zhou Zhixian will also leave five current homework for the three of them.
That night, Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun will stay overnight in Zhou's mansion, and the three brothers will discuss and exchange, and during the exchange, Luo Xin will also tell Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun Lu Tingfang's teachings without concealment, and Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun will also teach Luo Xin what they have learned in the county school.
After staying overnight in Zhou's mansion, Luo Xin returned home. Repeatedly, in addition to reading, martial arts, calligraphy, dong flute and Go, he did not fall behind every day. In this low-key and regular life, Luo Xin's heart was completely calm.
The quieter the heart, the more you learn, the stronger the elegance in your body! Lin Changdu couldn't help but sigh:
"My disciple has actually begun to cultivate Haoran's qi!"
Autumn harvest is on!
There are few families that buy grain, because the price of food has skyrocketed. Grandpa Luo Xin's family did not buy food.
The best harvest of crops is only 30%, and the entire Shanglin Village is gloomy. At this time, they remembered that Luo Xin's family bought food, and they regretted it one by one, sighing that there was a prodigy in Luo's second family, why didn't they follow the prodigy family to buy food in the first place?
Zhou Zhixian's mouth was bubbly. I was busy for a month, and I kept running to the prefect's yamen, and the prefect's life was not easy. One by one, the excerpts were sent to the capital, and the final intention was that it was impossible for the state to release grain, but to reduce taxes.
But......
It's just a reduction of three percent!
This is fatal for the peasants, because if they pay such taxes, they will not have much grain left at home, even with last year's surplus grain. Some families have no grain left, and some families can't even pay taxes.
Luo Heng's home.
Luo Heng sat on the kang and smoked a dry cigarette. The old lady sat at the end of the kang and put the small dustpan in her hand on the kang and said:
"When the second child reminded you to buy grain, you didn't buy it, and scolded the second child for being a loser. What do we eat as a family now, and the food left at home is just enough to eat until the New Year. What to eat during the Chinese New Year? ”
"Are you bothered?" Luo Heng glared at the old lady.
"Why am I annoyed?" The old lady shed tears: "The year is good, but the days are hard!" ”
"Cry what cry!"
"The ...... in charge," the old lady sobbed, "or ...... Shall we borrow some food from the second family? ”
Luo Heng's face was a little awkward, he used to look down on the second child, and he had also squeezed the second child not to go to his house to borrow grain, and even scolded the second child for being a loser, and now let him take care of the second child to borrow food, needless to say, that kind of awkwardness. After half a sound, he sighed and said:
"Let's do it first, and then we'll talk about it then!"
Early morning.
County.
The backyard of the county government.
Luo Xin held the folding fan in his hand. One moment it closes together, like a sword like a pen, and the other moment the fan opens. Fierce as a knife, wide open and closed.
However, the body has a sense of beauty when it turns, and a folding fan is danced by him like a crane......
Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun stood in the courtyard and looked at Luo Xin, their eyes releasing a light of envy.
"Smack!"
Luo Xin closed the fan to close the momentum, the gentleman is like jade!
"Good!"
Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun applauded. Walking towards Luo Xin, one left and one right sandwiched Luo Xin in the middle. Zhou Yu waved the folding fan in his hand and said:
"Brother Xin, your fan method has been created?"
Luo Xin nodded, in the past six months, with the help of Luo Ping, Luo Xin finally created the nine-style fan method, which integrates three sword moves, three pen moves and three sword moves.
"Then why don't you teach us quickly?" Zhou Yu and Zhang Xun were overjoyed.
Luo Xin rolled his eyes: "You two should practice Tai Chi for another two years." ”
"We've learned!" Zhang Xun was surprised.
"You ...... It's just that I've learned the moves, and I'm still far from it. ”
"No matter how much, anyway, you have to teach us this method today, otherwise I won't let you go!" Zhou Yu played a scoundrel.
Luo Xin's ink was no match for them, and he was in a hurry to go home, so he had to agree in the end, anyway, there were only nine moves, and he couldn't waste much time. An hour later, Luo Xin left the county seat and rushed home. Now Luo Xin has not let his father or eldest brother pick him up. When he came to the county seat, he rode his eldest brother's horse and rushed back to Shanglin Village before noon.
It's Chinese New Year!
Luo Xin's father and mother loaded twenty catties of rice, caught two chickens, two ducks, two geese, a pig's leg, a basket of eggs, and prepared five pieces of money. A family of four came to their grandfather's house to worship their ancestors and keep vigil.
During the banquet, the status of Luo Xin's family rose a lot, and grandma not only gave Luo Sheng and Luo Wen vegetables, but also gave Luo Qing and Luo Xin a chopstick scrambled egg. This move made Luo Qing excited enough, this is the first time that he has grown so big, and his grandmother has served him vegetables. Luo Ping's honest face also showed a smile, and Luo's eyebrows fluttered. Luo Xin was very calm, and after softly thanking him, he unceremoniously ate the egg into his mouth.
Quickly swept past the uncle and uncle's family, and saw a trace of discomfort and disdain on their faces, Luo Xin understood his psychology, and saw that the old lady gave himself and Luo Qing vegetables, and they felt uncomfortable.
This is also normal, grandma, who has never served herself and her eldest brother, suddenly gave a chopstick, as if their favor was separated. As for the disdain, it's even simpler, grandma just sandwiched such a chopstick dish, and the old lady danced with her eyebrows, which naturally made people disdainful!
"It seems that there is a long way to go! Their habits have to be changed! Take your time, I'm not in a hurry, hehe......" Luo sneered in confidence.
After dinner, everyone kept vigil together, grandfather, grandmother, uncle, aunt, uncle and aunt took turns to chat with Luo Ping and his wife, and after chatting a few words, they talked about food.
"Second child, I really didn't expect a food shortage this year."
"Second brother, your family has a lot of surplus food, right?"
"Second brother, thanks to your family for buying food in advance!"
“…………”
But Luo Ping just smiled, he didn't talk to him at all, Luo Xin had already analyzed it with him at home, and at this time, it was exactly the same as Luo Xin's analysis, these people just wanted not to ask for food, so that they could take the initiative to send them food. Thinking of his son's advice, although Luo Ping felt awkward, he resolutely did not speak.
To be honest, he is also a person, and he wants to have a place in the family when he is a human being. And he has never had a status at home, and now he doesn't want to let go of this opportunity.
Not to mention......
This is also related to the "Qi family" that Xin'er said. Listening to it, he was angry in his heart.
