There is a home in the depths of the white clouds

Chapter 031 Reading "Book of Filial Piety"

When Xiaoxiao came back, Wu Xu also came back.

Wu Xu is now the steward of the small courtyard, and he didn't say anything to the little novel with a wink, but he criticized the day lily: "Don't you boil the water at this time? After lunch later, it's time for the young master to drink tea?"

Hemerocallis blushed: "I don't need you to worry about my affairs."

After finishing speaking, she twisted her slender waist and went back to her tea room.

In the tea room, there are two pots and stoves, a large one for bath water and a small one for tea. There are three large pots, each of which is as tall as half a person.

There was a pile of firewood, as well as the firewood for the fire. The room had an old smell because no one had cleaned it for a long time.

Hemerocallis took a deep breath, this breath!

She is here to be the house maid and the head of the first maid!

I'm not here to be a fire girl!

Burning a fire girl is the job of the lowest maidservant!

But now the tea room is in her charge, but she has not been given manpower, so she has to do everything by herself.

But fortunately, daylilies were also promoted from a little girl, and they still have some life skills. He held his breath, found a clean rag, and started to tidy up.

And when tidying up, a fire was lit to boil water, and both large and small pots were heated.

For the lunch meal, Xiaoxiao went to the kitchen and brought it back. It was a big food box with two steamed buns, a dish of black and white vegetables, a bowl of radish soup, and a bowl of egg custard.

And Xiaoxiao's meals are stewed cabbage, radish soup, thick noodle steamed buns and pickles.

Wu Youwei ate half of the food, and gave the remaining half to Xiao Xiao, who ate it with thick noodle steamed buns.

Wu Youwei took a look at his steamed buns with coarse noodles, they were not actually thick, they were just made of wheat flour that had been ground five times, while the steamed buns he ate were made of white flour, which had been ground six or seven times, which was very similar to modern white flour up.

And the aroma of wheat is strong.

I heard that most people grind it three times.

After lunch, at last, Hemerocallis brought tea and snacks.

Snacks can't be made in the tea room. Hemerocallis specially took advantage of lunch time to find her mother in the back kitchen. Her father is the white case in the kitchen, but it's not a big case, but a small case. pot.

The popular name of Baian is: noodles.

Bai An is in charge of making cakes and pastries.

This type of work is named because it is related to rice, noodles and chopping boards.

The Bai case is divided into "big case", "small case" (also known as "main case") and "noodle pot" and other types of work.

The big case is responsible for the production of bulk pastries, including handmade noodles, rolling of wonton wrappers, and production of various buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, dumplings, etc.

The small case is responsible for the production of banquet snacks, or making various snacks according to customer needs.

The noodle pot is mainly responsible for the noodles.

So Daylily can bring better snacks from the kitchen than Xiaoxiao can bring.

What she brought were milk cakes and millet bowl cakes, and a pot of fragrant barley tea. When she walked to the door, she was stopped.

Hemerocallis took a deep breath: "My little master, servant girl Hemerocallis, here I bring you some tea and snacks."

"Xiao Xiao, go and pick it up." Wu Youwei was a little lazy after eating and didn't want to move, so he curled up on the soft couch in the study and read a book.

What I read was the Analects that the original owner had previously criticized.

"Hey!" Xiaoxiao got off the ground, ran over, opened the door, and stretched out his hand: "Leave it to me!"

Hemerocallis: "...!!!"

There is a cotton curtain hanging at the door, and when the curtain is lifted to open the door, facing the door in the living room is a screen embroidered with "Four Gentlemen", which blocks the line of sight and resists the cold wind passing through the door.

She can't see anything.

Reluctantly, he handed the tray to Xiao Xiao: "Be careful, this is the best barley tea. Drinking it in winter can warm your body and regulate your stomach..."

She really wanted the little master inside to listen to it, and let him know how much she cares about him.

"Understood." Xiaoxiao was impatient to hear her talk so long, she simply took the tray in, and the two regular attendants guarding the gate immediately closed the door and put down the cotton curtain to prevent the cold wind from blowing in.

Wu Youwei in the room did not listen to the words of the day lily at the door.

He was still reading those comments. The original owner looked like a good boy, but unfortunately, he felt that his criticism of the Analects of Confucius was not thorough enough.

If it were him...

"Master, snacks, tea!" Xiaoxiao put the tray on the table: "It turned out to be milk cakes and millet bowl cakes today!"

"Really?" Wu Youwei sat up and looked at the tray in front of him. Inside were two pure white porcelain plates, one contained milky yellow palm-sized pancakes, six of which had a faint goat milk fragrance; There are eight millet bowl cakes inside, which look quite a lot when piled up, but they are actually hollow, a bit like egg tarts, with a strong rice fragrance.

"This is milk cake, and this is millet bowl cake." Xiaoxiao pointed at the pastry and drooled: "I've only seen it before, but never eaten it."

"Then you have it now." Wu Youwei took a milk cake and a millet bowl cake, and put them in his small palm: "Eat it."

"Yeah!" Xiao Xiao cherished the millet bowl cake, and the rice smelled a little sweet.

Wu Youwei ate a milk cake, which is different from modern milk cakes. This is real milk cake made of fresh goat's milk. After cooking with almonds, after removing the fishy smell, the milk fragrance of this milk cake carries Light almond flavor.

I also ate one of the millet bowl cakes, and they were all good.

I poured out a cup of tea, because it was the filial piety period, their family could not have red and green tea, they could only drink plain water or wheat tea or barley tea.

Although it is not tea, but this thing is quite good for digestion.

After eating, he ate two more snacks and lay still on the couch. He really needed something to help his digestion.

"Little master, why don't you eat?" After the snack, he looked at the dessert plate and drool.

"I've eaten it, you can eat it if you want." Wu Youwei gave him another milk pancake: "Eat more dairy products, so you can grow taller."

"Really? The little one must eat more." Xiaoxiao continued to chew on the milk cake.

"Eat it all. If your mouth is dry, drink tea." Wu Youwei looked at the child and smiled happily. At that time, he just woke up, and there was only such a person by his side. Maybe it was a fledgling plot?He regards this child as his savior. Now that he is capable, he can take this little guy and prevent him from being bullied. If he wants to eat and drink, he can provide him with food and drink.

Now I can only do my best to make him live better.

"Yeah!" Xiaoxiao felt that her life these two days was like a dream.

Wu Youwei continued to pack some of the original owner's books, and after finishing, he left a copy of "Book of Filial Piety".

"Book of Filial Piety" is an ethical work of ancient Confucianism.

One of the Thirteen Classics of Confucianism.

It is said that it was made by Confucius, but in the Southern Song Dynasty, some people suspected that it was due to the attachment of later generations.

Ji Yun of the Qing Dynasty pointed out in the "General Catalog of Siku Quanshu" that the book was Confucius' "last words of the seventy disciples" and was written during the Qin and Han Dynasties.

From the Western Han Dynasty to the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, there were hundreds of annotators.

The popular version in the Ming Dynasty was the one annotated by Tang Xuanzong Li Longji and revised by Xing Bingshu in the Song Dynasty.

He observes filial piety, and he values ​​filial piety. It is not appropriate to read any books at this time. Only reading "The Book of Filial Piety" makes people have nothing to say.

The "Book of Filial Piety", focusing on filial piety, expounds Confucian ethical thought in a relatively concentrated manner.It affirms that "filial piety" is the norm set by heaven, "Filial piety is the scriptures of heaven, the righteousness of the earth, and the behavior of people."

He pointed out that filial piety is the foundation of all virtues, and believed that "there is nothing greater than filial piety in human behavior." The king can use filial piety to govern the country, and the subjects can use filial piety to build a family.

"The Classic of Filial Piety" connects filial piety and loyalty for the first time, holds that "loyalty" is the development and expansion of "filial piety", and extends the social role of "filial piety", and believes that "filial piety and fraternity to the utmost" can "communicate with the gods". , light in the four seas, omniscient.”

The requirements and methods for implementing "filial piety" have also been systematically and detailedly stipulated.

It advocates that "filial piety" should be permeated in all human behaviors. "The body and skin should be treated by parents, and dare not damage them." This is the beginning of filial piety;

It links the maintenance of the patriarchal clan relationship with serving the monarch, and believes that "filial piety" should "begin with serving relatives, center with serving the monarch, and finally establish oneself."

Specific requirements: "Respect for living, joy for raising, sorrow for illness, mourning for mourning, and strictness for sacrifice."

The "Book of Filial Piety" also stipulates the different contents of "filial piety" according to the differences in identities of different people:

The "filial piety" of the Son of Heaven requires that "love and respect should be given to relatives, and moral education should be imposed on the people and punished in the whole world";

The "filial piety" of the princes requires "not arrogant at the top, high but not dangerous, restraint and restraint, full but not overflowing";

Doctor Qing's "filial piety" requires "do not speak illegally, do not do what is right, have no choice in what to say, and have no choice in what to do";

The "filial piety" of the scholar class requires "loyalty and obedience, protection of the throne, and observance of sacrifices";

The "filial piety" of the common people requires "use the way of heaven, share the benefits of the land, and be frugal with your body to support your parents."

He is now considered a "scholar" and belongs to the "filial piety" of the scholar class. He wants to "be loyal and obedient in everything, protect the position, and keep sacrifices." Even if his father is dead, he must be filial to him.

As a modern person, although he is a jack-of-all-trades and has a wide range of knowledge, he is not very clear about the ancient rules of keeping filial piety, but he still knows a few points, such as being a vegetarian, not staying overnight, even if it is a couple who is married to a Ming media, Nor can there be any pregnancy in three years.

As for the others, he really didn't know.

So he wanted to read the "Book of Filial Piety", and he didn't dare to go out to ask people, so he could only stay in the small courtyard, never stepping outside the gate, completely shutting himself up.

In the afternoon, someone came: "There is a regular follower of Master Liu outside the door, and he wants to see the young master."

"Oh?" Wu Youwei regained his spirit.

Chang Sui followed Wu Xu in, and when he saw Wu Youwei, he saluted: "Little Liu Shun, I have met Master Wu."

Because Wu Youwei is a Juren and has the qualifications to be an official, he is called "Master Juren".

Today's scholars are qualified to open private schools, so they are generally called "Mr. Xiucai".

"Mianli, who is your master?" Because Liu Jian and Liu Daxia both had the surname Liu, he didn't know who they belonged to.

"Young master hides his name from Daxia." This is Liu Daxia's Chang Sui.

"Oh, I don't know why he asked you to come?" Wu Youwei understood.

"This is something that the master asked the little one to send to you, and he told you to keep it." Liu Shun handed over a small box, which is very thin, and there are limited things that can be put down: "Man, our master will take good care of it, and I will guarantee them Can't run."

"Thank you brother Shi Yong for me." Wu Youwei knew what was pretending here.

"Okay, the younger one will definitely convey it. If there is nothing else, the younger one will go back. After three days, people from the Liu family will come to see you." Liu Shun saluted again.

"Well, you've worked hard." Wu Youwei nodded towards Xiaoxiao.

Xiaoxiao personally escorted Liu Shun out of the gate of the small yard, and walked it all the way to the door. When we parted, he swiftly took out a penny, not much, only thirty, which was considered a labor expense, and gave it to Liu Shun: "My little master invites my brother to have tea and snacks."

"Then thank you, Master Wu, for your reward." Liu Shun didn't refuse, but took out two pieces of peanut candy from his pocket and stuffed them to Xiao Xiao: "This is for my brother."

"Yeah!" Xiao Xiao immediately stuffed it into his purse. His purse is the cleanest kind. It can hold two pieces of candy and a little copper plate. There is not much space on his body .

Liu Shun laughed, and then turned around to leave. His master valued this classmate, Master Wu, who was said to be the youngest candidate in their class.

Xiaoxiao sent Liu Shun away, turned around and entered the gate of the mansion and the small courtyard.

"People sent him away?" Seeing Xiao Xiao bouncing back, Wu Youwei was delighted.

"Well, he also gave me thirty copper coins, and he gave me two pieces of peanut candy." The little general stretched out his paw, and took out two pieces of peanut candy that were a little dark brown from his purse.
