The old man Shihe saluted respectfully, and then he turned sideways and said, "This is one of the three Qings of my Taoism, the original Tianzun. Although the number three of the three Qings is different, they are all one, and they are the supreme gods of my Taoism."

Li Junge bowed to the statue as a salute, and said, "This sculpture is pretty good. It's really nice to open your face, and it's very emotional. Ganzhou has such good woodcarving craftsmanship? Is there no one in Ganzhou among the four schools?"

The old man Shihe was not convinced: "You are not the only ones in Lijiagou who have intangible cultural heritage. Although it is not among the four major schools, Ganzhou woodcarving has been very powerful in recent years! There are now more than 2 woodcarving artists from Guangfeng. Yujiang woodcarving statues have been famous since the Qing Dynasty, and they are not far from Longhu Mountain! This statue of Yuanshi Tianzun is the handicraft of Master Yujiang!"

Li Junge admired: "It's amazing, by the way, did they say what kind of wood it is?"

The old man Shihe said: "No one can really judge this, but it looks very similar to Jinsinan from the perspective of sight, but the golden color of Jinsinan is not so bright, and the density is not as big, and the fragrance The type is also very different.”

Li Junge said: "This smell is really fragrant, there is no need to add additional incense."

The old man Shihe said: "Yes, it is enough to offer wild vegetables and fruits. This is where I practice at night. The smell makes people forget the customs and is easy to improve. When the little pharmacist finishes the New Year, I will arrest him and practice in this room. This is the second treasure of my santai temple."

When the two of them came out, Shi He took out another small package and said, "This is made of leftover wood from carvings. I bought a string of small rosary beads for Guoshan and a pen holder for your fourth grandpa. You take them together." Take it down."

Li Junge smiled and said: "On the first day of the new year, I will accompany my grandma to burn incense at Fawang Temple. With this, it shouldn't be a big problem to replace the old monk with a pillar of incense, right?"

The old man Shihe shook his head helplessly: "Guoshan is not as philistine as you said! If you want to do this, return the beads to me, and I will give them to him myself when the time comes!"

Li Junge said with a smile: "Ha, you are serious about joking with you! Who is vulgar? Okay, then I will go down, there are many things to do, and then I have to guard the smoked bacon, so I wish you an early year."

The old man Shihe smiled and said: "It's rare that you came to see me specially a few years ago, and you, Piwa, will also take care of your family for me, and your fourth grandpa and uncle will be the vocalists. You won't bother me before the monk's holiday. After the Spring Festival, I will go down the mountain to pay a visit.”

Going down the mountain and returning to the ancestral hall, the fourth grandfather was chatting with the old uncle and his cousin's family, enjoying themselves happily.

Ayin was also at the side.

Li Junge removed the old tea from the teapot, showed Fourth Grandfather the newly brought tea leaves from the mountain, and then brewed a pot, instantly filling the room with spring.

The old man was surprised: "There are such good things in Lijiagou?"

Li Junge poured out a few cups and said with a smile: "These are two tea trees in the mountains I found. Seeing the strange leaves, I tried to transplant them to Santaiguan."

"It just so happens that the old man Shihe knows how to make tea, so he made some of it, saying that it is a treasure of the town, and asked Fourth Grandpa to name it. I tasted it and felt it was really good."

The fourth grandfather picked up the cup and sniffed it, then took a sip, and said: "Sure enough, good tea is really rare."

The old man was very itchy, and he reached out to hold the cup, but the fourth grandfather stopped him and said, "Come on, such good tea is too good to drink, and we have to do something elegant to match it."

The old man smiled and said, "Father is going to test his son."

The Fourth Grandpa smiled and said, "We'll take the famous person surnamed Li as the topic. Whoever thinks of the couplet will tell everyone to match it. Whoever matches it first will be eligible to receive a cup of tea. How about it?"

Li Junge joked: "Then Shirly and Alice may not be able to drink..."

The two sisters expressed dissatisfaction, so let's compare!
The fourth grandfather smiled and said: "Then come, Shanglian, a prominent family in Longxi."

This is the most famous Li family lineage, which created the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

Shirly quickly raised her hand: "I'll come, I'll come, celebrity from Beihai!"

The fourth grandfather was very happy: "Yuxiang even knows about Li Yong? Can you tell me?"

Shirly said: "He was a great calligrapher in the early Tang Dynasty. At that time, senior officials in the court and temples all over the country asked him to write steles with gold and silk. Li Bai and Du Fu once wrote poems for him. He was the prefect of Beihai. Beihai', he likes to make friends with celebrities, and his calligraphy was called 'Beihai Ruxiang' at that time."

The Fourth Grandpa handed the cup to Shirly: "If you can tell this, you have read a lot of ancient books, and you deserve this cup of tea. Speaking of Beihai prefect, there is a famous person who also likes to make friends with famous people. Do you know Alice?"

Alice clapped her hands and said with a smile: "'The seats are always full, and the wine in the bottle is never empty', Kong Rong and Kong Beihai."

The fourth grandfather laughed loudly: "Okay! Siyuan is a good teacher, and Yuhuai deserves a drink."

The two sisters won the first prize, and they were too proud to die.

The fourth grandfather smiled and said: "Come on, the first couplet: Poems and rituals are coming to court, and people envy Yehou's scrolls."

This couplet is a bit difficult, the old man smiled and said: "Father is testing me. My second couplet is: Loyalty to the country, Shi Zhan Yuanli to the gate wall."

Li Junge explained to A Yin: "The Shanglian is talking about Li Mi of the Tang Dynasty. He was said to be a child prodigy since he was a child. He was a prodigy when he was less than ten years old. "

"When he was seven years old, he was met by Xuanzong by chance. Xuanzong was talking about playing chess with Duke Zhang of the State of Yan at that time, and asked Zhang Shuo to test Li Mi's talent by playing chess."

"Li Mi would like to ask how to play. Zhang talked about using Fang Yuan to describe it as moving and still. He gave an example, 'Fang is like a chess game, round is like a chess piece, moving like a chess is alive, and quiet is like a chess is dead.'"

"Li Mi said to him: "Fang is like doing righteousness, being round is using wisdom, moving is like being talented, and being quiet is like doing what one wants." Zhang said he was overjoyed and praised him as a prime minister's talent.

"Later, he lived in seclusion in Songshan Mountain, where he advised Xuanzong, and was called the 'Prime Minister of the Mountain' by the people at that time. Later, he really became a prime minister, and was named Ye Hou. His writings were as long as he was, and there were twenty volumes. This is the scroll of the fourth grandfather, Ye Hou. ''s allusion."

"The second couplet talks about Li Ying and Li Yuanli in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Li Ying was the governor of Qingzhou first, and the magistrates of Qingzhou were afraid of his strictness. When they heard the news that he was coming to Qingzhou, they were so frightened that they ran away more than half in advance."

Ayin chuckled: "How corrupt are these officials?! Simply!"

Li Junge smiled and said, "In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, how corrupt do you think it was? Later, he was dismissed because he offended the eunuch, and returned to his hometown to live in Lunshi County. He started teaching and taught nearly a thousand students."

"Xun Shuang, a famous scholar at that time, once visited him and drove a car for him. When he came back, he was so happy that he said to everyone, "I actually drove a car for Li Jun today." He was so admired by others that he was called "the world" Model Li Yuanli'."

A Yin said with a smile: "It's hard for a person to go down in history without being famous."

Li Junge continued: "Although he is upright and honest, he is famous for his majesty. But he runs a simple family and takes good care of his clan relatives. He distributes his salary to them according to the size of the population, and the rest of the money is used to hire people to copy books." When he was in Yangzhou, he had so many books that he had to use many carts to pull them."

"He once said to his descendants: 'I don't love property by nature, so I am poor. But relying on the capital, there are ten hectares of land, which can be cultivated and enough to eat; , study hard, you can get into the official position. After my death, the descendants can be diligent in these three things, so they don’t need to ask others for help.'”

"He fought against treacherous eunuchs all his life. In the past, some people who took refuge in treacherous eunuchs went to study, but were rejected by Li Ying. The "Yuanli Gate Wall" in the old man's second couplet is talking about this matter. He is a person with bad intentions. It will not be accepted as a student."

The old man also got a cup, took it and drank it, and said with a smile, "Sure enough! Yuxiang, Yuhuai, learn more from Uncle Erpi, your skills are still far behind."

After finishing speaking, he said with a smile: "I also have one, singing wildly and drinking the double fairy bones."

Li Junge said with a smile: "Then it's my turn for this cup, so let me give you a tip."

The old man picked up the teapot and added tea, and said with a smile: "Pi Wa, Yuxiang and Yuhuai are probably going to be confused, so explain to them."

Li Junge said: "The first couplet is about Li Bai, who is a poet and wine immortal; the second couplet is about Li He, a 'poetry ghost'. According to legend, he likes to bring a little slave with him, and carry an ancient kit on his back. Write verses on paper and put them in your bag for storage, and then slowly turn them into poems when you have time."

"I once taught Qiu girl this method, and it is also the origin of the idiom 'good sentence in a bag'."

The uncle brought the tea to Li Junge, and Li Junge handed it to A Yin behind him, and then everyone continued.

What is "Ode to Minjiang Water Conservancy Millennium; Changgu Poetry Style Wanli Fragrant." It is Li Bing and Li He.

What is "Mingfeng Chaoyang, admonishing and admonishing all push the censor; palace robes with the moon, and drinking salty celestial spirits." It is Li Shangan and Li Bai.

Occasionally, Li Junge also made a few simple interludes to keep Alice and Shirly interested.

For example, "By passing on morality; making contributions to the people of the world." It was Li Er and Emperor Taizong of Tang.

For example, "Weigong Xunye" said Li Jing, and let Alice pick up a "model of Yuanli" for nothing.

The Fourth Grandpa couldn't stand it anymore, and started to increase the difficulty again: "Fields can be plowed, mulberries can be silkworms, books can be read, and reputations can be promoted as family treasures."

This is a name-embedded couplet, and there are two people in the couplet. On the surface, it refers to Li Ying's family motto, but in fact, another person's name is embedded in it. In the early Tang Dynasty, Li Xiyu, the governor of the Yangzhou Metropolitan Government, and Li Xiyu, the inspector ambassador in the south of the Yangtze River.

At that time, Yangzhou was in the metropolises of Jiang and Wu, and the people liked to do business. Li Xiyu led the army and the people to dredge water from Leibei, built a city pond, and irrigated [-] hectares of land to make the most of the land, so that the common people were happy to cultivate again.

Li Junge said with a smile: "Fourth Grandpa, don't make it so difficult, it's just a game, then I'm right: the young are strong, the old are angry, the rest is difficult, there is no comfort in life."

The old man explained to the two sisters: "This difficulty is not what you can play now. Zuzu's first couplet talked about Li Ying, and Li Xiyu was embedded. Piwa's second couplet talked about Li Hongzhang, and Li Maogong was embedded."

"Li Hongzhang, one of the three important ministers in the late Qing Dynasty, once had the rhetoric of 'Whoever wrote the history for 1 years, you can find a prince three thousand miles away. ' When he was young, he signed many unequal treaties, suffered from liver disease, and was irritable; he was dying He wrote the posthumous poem of "Lao Lao's chariot and horse are not out of the saddle, and you will know that you will die when you are in trouble." He has made great achievements in his life, but he can't save the fate of the country in the end."

"You should be familiar with Li Maogong. He is the prototype of Xu Maogong in "Shuo Tang". His original name was Xu Shiji, and he was later given the surname Li. He was given the same name as Li Jing. He was granted the title of British Duke and was buried with Zhaoling."

Then I got another cup, and Ah Yin held the teacup and said with a smile: "Why are they all men? Are there any female celebrities in our Li family who can make a couplet?"

Li Junge smiled and said, "Why not? It's as clear as flowers, and my daughter's words are still like jade."

The old man tapped on the table: "Outside Pingyang Pass, don't fight for the front of the Detachment of Women!"

The fourth grandpa clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay! Li Qingzhao, Princess Pingyang, is worthy of being a hero among girls!"
