The three subordinates who were sent away, Xu Ping sat in the living room for a while, looked up at the sky, the sun was still hanging high in the sky, and suddenly had a feeling of boredom. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Resting at home these days, the so-called chaos without a silk and bamboo, and the labor without a case, it was originally a life that officials yearn for, why do you feel a little empty?

Piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, you have to develop some hobbies, otherwise this life is too boring. I have taken sick leave, and I can't go out to visit relatives and friends, and I can't go to the mountains and rivers, how can I spend this time?

Standing up, Xu Ping lowered his head and paced towards the backyard. Suddenly, I want others to come and see me, and I have a full house of friends, so I can pass the time of boredom.

When I arrived in the backyard, I saw Lin Suniang and Su Er chatting enthusiastically, Xiuxiu was busy with her two children, Li Zhang was talking with her father, and she couldn't talk together, and she was already a little helpless on her face.

Seeing Xu Ping come in, Li Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "Didn't you have any urgent business just now?" ”

Xu Ping waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter in the yamen, those few people don't dare to call the shots, come to ask me." ”

Xu Zheng also felt that Li Zhang was not a good chat partner, and his reaction was not enthusiastic at all, obviously what he said was so interesting, but his expression was very perfunctory. stood up and said to Xu Ping: "Da Lang, your body is almost better, tomorrow I will make an appointment with a few old brothers to have a poetry meeting at home, and let them taste the watermelon." ”

Xu Ping and Li Zhang glanced at each other, wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and said: "Daddy, just do it, the place at home is very big, there are gardens, and there are granges, so it's best to relax." ”

Xu Zheng didn't know a single big character when he was young, and then he began to read and write when the business became bigger. His poetry is fake, but he is afraid that drinking wine and eating meat is real, and it is true that he simply calls it "Entropy Club".

Seeing his son's expression, Xu Zheng also knew that the ink in his stomach would be a bit like selling dog meat on a sheep's head, and muttered: "A few days ago, there were two old brothers who asked me to enter the 'Burning Lamp Society', and I was still thinking about it." ”

Hearing this, Xu Ping hurriedly said: "Daddy, it's just a matter of you doing a poetry club, but you must not enter the 'Burning Lamp Club' and 'Incense Club'." If you have that heart, you can burn incense in the temple and give some incense money, these clubs can't touch it! ”

"Why? I saw that many big families in the capital have joined the society, saying that they are accumulating blessings for their children and grandchildren. ”

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and they can't accumulate by relying on their own hard work. Daddy, I don't care which temple you go into to burn incense to which Buddha, and those clubs that chant scriptures and burn incense can't enter. The vegetable eating demon sect in the two Zhejiang areas was like this at the beginning to win over believers, and it is not a trivial matter to violate the law of the country! ”

Xu Zheng shook his head, and he didn't know what he muttered, so he went to talk to Zhang Sanniang. Xu Ping's authority to speak at home is getting bigger and bigger, and his son said that he can't enter, and Xu Zheng can only let go of this thought.

Large-scale religious society, the first to recommend the White Lotus Society, Xu Ping has the knowledge of his previous life, so he naturally knows how many stories this name caused later. In this era, the White Lotus Society still existed, and other religious societies mainly included the Lamp Burning Society, the Incense Society, and the Dharma Society, which were also widely distributed. However, these societies only have the same name and are not related to each other, and they are organizations of believers who gather to practice things or engage in major religious activities, so they can be tolerated by the government. But who knows which of these organizations accidentally became part of the cult, and Xu Zheng was involved in it in a daze, and Xu Ping was good-looking at that time.

The Maitreya Sect on Jingdong Road and the Vegetable Eating Demon Sect on Liangzhejiang Road are the secret religions that made a lot of trouble in this era. However, they have not yet risen up, and the attitude of the government is still relatively relaxed, but it is still forbidden in the legal sense.

Seeing that Xu Zheng walked aside to talk to Zhang Sanniang, Xu Ping said helplessly to Li Zhang: "Old man, when you reach this age, you will start to pray to God and worship Buddha, my father has nothing to do before, and he never goes to the temple gate." ”

Li Zhang nodded, feeling the same way. Father Duan in his family is also like this, when he was young, he did such unsightly errands as spying on intelligence, and he didn't know where the temple door was open. In the past few years, the family was not well-off, and it was okay for him to tease his grandson, but in the past two years, he has become rich, and he has begun to get close to Taoist monks and do some things to pray to God and worship Buddha.

Who can avoid human nature?

Seeing that the old man and woman had their own things to do, Xu Ping and Li Zhang, the two young men, couldn't interject into their mouths, and it was boring to stay here, Xu Ping said: "The bamboo and trees in the garden at home have all grown, and it is a bit of a scenery, so it is better to go there for a walk." ”

Li Zhang nodded, walked out of the backyard with Xu Ping, and walked towards the garden behind. The couple is going to stay here for dinner today, and they have to rest at the Xu family, and they will go home tomorrow. The two brothers grew up together since childhood, and their relationship is different from others, even Lin Suniang and Su'er are also deeply affectionate.

At this time, the gardens in the Liangjing area, compared with the south of the Yangtze River, are the most typical is that there are many mountains and few rivers, the place is vast, and there is a bold atmosphere inside and out. The back garden of Xu Ping's house has been torn down from the wall of the previous year and connected with the large mountains and forests outside. There are no rockeries in the park, but two small hills are directly encompassed. Between the two mountains, a small river meanders through it, and gathers at the mouth of the valley to form a small pond.

Liu Xiaoyi's eyes were sharp, and he went to lead two good horses to follow behind, and when he arrived next to the woods, he said to Xu Ping: "Do you want to ride a horse?" The weather is fine today, so it's good to take a break on horseback. ”

Xu Ping shook his head: "That's it, I usually come and go on horseback in the upper courts, and I'm a little tired of it." Rest at home these days, and let the horses rest and rest. You lead them to the place where the water and grass are good, and let them spread their joy to the fullest. ”

Liu Xiaoyi promised and led the horse.

My home has mountains and rivers, so big that you need to ride a horse to see the scenery, and it's just a place in the countryside like Nakamu, but now it's in Tokyo City. Although it is outside the city, it is still the urban area of Kaifeng. With the huge area of this circle into the mansion, Xu Ping's family can also be regarded as a first-class family in the capital.

After walking with Li Zhang for a while, turning around and seeing the shooting range not far away, Xu Ping suddenly became interested and said to Li Zhang: "Let's go there to compare bows and arrows to see how everyone has grown in recent years." ”

Li Zhang smiled: "My brother is a person who has led a large army to fight, how can I compare?" ”

"You are now a military general in the imperial court, how can you say such a thing? Let's go, give it a try! ”

Bow and arrow is the only way to gamble for money, one of the six arts, and most of the scholars also practice twice. The envoy Chen Yaozuo once used a copper coin as a target, and the square hole in one arrow, even Wang Zeng, who was quiet and quiet, also broke the Khitan with an arrow. Xu Ping also practiced every day, and he was stronger than Li Zhang in terms of strength and accuracy, so I don't know how he is now. (To be continued.) )
