Relatives get together and have fun together.

After the initial cordial exchange, by the time Liang Yi came to his senses, the sky was already dark.

And the old men who led the way before have also disappeared.

Mr. Tang greeted several people and walked towards the inner courtyard.

After walking past the hut where Mr. Tang came out before, Liang Yi discovered that there was actually a cave inside.

The small house that they originally thought was a wing was actually just a corridor. After going around the corridor, they entered the inner courtyard.

"The courtyard in front of this is my wheat field. On weekdays, I farm there and turn over the soil. This is the courtyard where I rest."

Mr. Tang held a little carrot head in his arms and led Liang Yi and the others with a smile.

After entering the inner courtyard, Liang Yi discovered that there were quite a few people inside, including old ladies and middle-aged servants coming and going.

According to what Mr. Tang whispered, these people are also from the village. Before Mr. Tang came, they were all poor households. Later, after Mr. Tang came, they were recruited to work. Most of them were lonely people. One was to take care of them.

, and it also makes him feel more relaxed.

Perhaps because of this, Liang Yi discovered that these servants and hired workers obviously respected Mr. Tang. When they saw Mr. Tang, they would stop and say hello.

Not only that, Liang Yi also discovered several children who looked a few years older than his own children.

These children were all poorly dressed, and some had muddy water dripping from their bodies.

When these children saw Mr. Tang, they all nodded respectfully and called him "Master"

Mr. Tang would happily wave his hand, and then the children would come to a well in the courtyard. After several people took turns helping to pick out water from the well, they would help each other wash themselves with the water.

After washing and wiping the water stains on their bodies with their coats, they also left. Instead, they turned around and ran into a room together.

When the room opened, Liang Yi could vaguely see that there seemed to be several children in the room, some big and some small, some were playing, and some were holding a book, comparing the children already there.

I am reading hard in the dim sky.

Seeing Liang Yi stamping his feet and looking towards his study, Mr. Tang stroked his beard and said with emotion on his face.

"That's one of my private schools. When I came here, I saw that these half-grown children might not be able to escape the habit of being teachers in the past, so I gathered a few children who wanted to study wisely and let them listen to classes and read in the evening.

I don’t want them to be knowledgeable, I just want them to understand some worldly truths better.”

"When you came here before, I was giving them a lecture. It's almost time now. They will go back after a while."

Liang Yi knew that before he became the Minister of Household Affairs, his teacher was the dean of Luming Academy in Kyoto and taught there for nearly ten years. Luming Academy was also the place where he made his fortune.

Ming Shuyuan was able to worship Mr. Tang as his teacher, and he would step by step from a poor scholar to the position of Minister of Household Affairs.

He originally thought that his teacher would live a stable life as a rich man after he retired and returned to his hometown. Even if the teacher said that he was farming, the picture that appeared in his mind at that time was that of a vicissitudes of old man, holding a pill in his hand.

The hoe is tending a wheat field that is no more than one centimeter thick.

It is better to say that it is a wheat field than a land for him to have fun.

I never expected that after I came here, I discovered that this old man was still shining brightly at his age. He was both a husband and a farmer. His body was...

When Liang Yi was moved by Mr. Tang, he turned around and saw the teacher's strong pectoralis major muscles, and the sadness in his heart suddenly subsided a lot unconsciously.

Maybe... my mentor also enjoys it?

After a brief introduction, because Liang Yi came here as a defector this time, he brought a lot of talents with him.

However, Mr. Tang seemed to have been prepared for it. Before Liang Yi could react, under Mr. Tang's arrangement, their things were taken to the two wing rooms one by one by the old woman's servants.

One wing is for them and the other is for their children.

Mr. Tang also arranged for two women to be sent to them for dispatch.

Three times five times two, Liang Yi and others were arranged by Mr. Tang, and they could have a good rest in the yard that night.

Naturally, the loyal servant Tang Lao he brought was also arranged, and the housekeeper in the courtyard arranged a residence for them.

After that, Mr. Tang took them to the living room.

There is a long, square table and several chairs in the living room.

These furniture also look rough in style, but in fact they are full of details. When used, they do not give people a strange feeling, but an inexplicable harmony.

At this time, the room had been lit with lanterns, and the dim candles illuminated the room, which looked particularly warm.

After Mr. Tang took them to their seats, he spoke to the butler and then said to Liang Yi.

"You came late this time, so we'll just make do with a simple meal."

By this time it was completely dark.

At this time, at this time, everyone is ready to sleep.

Meals and other things are all eaten in the evening, and even those wealthy families rarely light up the lights at night.

After all, wax oil is not cheap, and landlords cannot be so extravagant.

The only people who can have bright lights, that is, only those high-ranking officials and dignitaries can have this scene.

This is a village, and at night, the chirping of insects and frogs in the wheat fields begins.

Mr. Tang's front yard was a wheat field, so sitting in the yard, they could hear the croaking of frogs and the chirping of crickets.

In such an environment, I have my mentor in front of me and my family next to me.

At this moment, Liang Yi felt that he would probably never forget tonight in his entire life.

Moved, Liang Yi's previous restraints were completely relaxed. When the food was served, everyone started eating as soon as Mr. Tang moved his chopsticks.

There is no big fish or meat, just a plate of coarse-grain steamed buns, some pickles, pickles, lettuce and dipping sauce.

But Liang Yi and others also enjoyed their meal very happily.

Including those three children.

Because when this dish was in Kyoto, they often ate it like this.

Liang Yi knew that in Kyoto, there were some officials with smaller positions than him, and their food might be more exquisite and sumptuous than his.

Not to mention those mansions with four doors.

But no matter what other people do, his food has always been of the same quality since he left Luming Academy and has never changed.

The only times where there was plenty of money were at his wedding banquet and the banquets when his baby was one month old.

Although he was often ostracized and ridiculed by officials because of this, Liang Yi never changed anything.

He is truly a so-called disciple from a humble family.

If it hadn't been for Mr. Tang, he would never have been able to study in his life.

If Mr. Tang hadn't brought him to the academy and later accepted him as his disciple, he would probably still be in the countryside today, maybe cutting firewood, carrying dung, or working as a tiller.

It is precisely because of what he has experienced that, no matter what others think of him, he has never improved his quality of life because of it.

For him, a steamed bun and a stack of side dishes are enough.

Fortunately for him, his wife did not complain to him because of this. Even though she was wearing old clothes and eating only pickles, she still gave birth to children for him and supported the family without any regrets.

After dinner, Liang Yi did not spoil the atmosphere by asking Mr. Tang other questions, but cooperated and chatted about home affairs.

Tell him one by one all the interesting things that happened at home after Mr. Tang left.

When talking about the children's naughty things, Mr. Tang was so shaken that he burst into laughter, stroking his beard and teasing a few children who became restless after eating.

After all, it was a tiring journey, and after eating and drinking, I started to feel sleepy.

After Mr. Tang saw that some of them were starting to feel exhausted, he immediately arranged for them to rest.

Liang Yi originally wanted to chat with the teacher for a few more words, but he was too embarrassed. Finally, he thought that there was no rush anyway, so he supported Wen and returned to the house with a lantern.

The children were taken to the room by several women.

In Mr. Tang's home, Liang Yi naturally wouldn't worry about what would happen to his children.

So, after returning to the room, the couple lay on the bed, said a few words to each other, and then fell asleep.

Mr. Tang also returned to his room after they left.

He wanted to go to sleep directly, but suddenly he heard three regular knocks on the door.

There was a pause on his face that was already tired. Mr. Tang rubbed his face with his hands. When he put it down again, his face had regained some energy. Then he stepped forward, took off the door stop, and opened the door.

"Mr. Tang! It's really offensive for you to talk late at night!"

Outside the door, there was suddenly standing a man wearing a close-fitting short game outfit, a black buttoned hat on his head, and a black gauze hanging on his face, looking like a masked man in black.

This man's body was completely covered, except for his eyes and a pair of sword-shaped eyebrows.

After seeing Mr. Tang, he knelt on the ground with one knee and looked at Mr. Tang as if he was apologizing.

"Hey, what are you doing? Come on! Come on in and talk!"

Mr. Tang quickly helped him up, then pulled him into the room. He stuck his head out and looked around to make sure no one was there, then he closed the door and put down the door stop.

After the masked man entered the door, he pulled off the gauze on his face, revealing a rather handsome face.

When Mr. Tang turned around, he bowed his hands respectfully and said to Mr. Tang as if reporting.
