According to the expected time, they finally crossed the river and came to Jiangzhou. Jiangzhou was the fiefdom of King Rui. It was handed down from the Taizu period. The hereditary throne passed down to this generation for the eighth generation. It is said that King Rui has just passed the age of weak crown and has not yet established a concubine. He is young and promising, but few people have seen his true face.

Taizu's motto: the imperial clan should not advance the four people's career, the official career should never be completed, and the agriculture and commerce should never be connected. Xia Guo didn't understand it when he first saw it, but later he did. I want to support you. I have no other income except the salary of the court. I can't recruit people; He can't enter the DPRK as an official and collude with other officials. This will not threaten the imperial power.

Liu Yanzhi and his party arrived at Liu Kezhen's house as scheduled. Liu's family is a big one. He is also an old man. He has a lot of children and grandchildren. All his great grandchildren are five years old.

Three sons, four grandsons, two great grandsons, and three granddaughters have not yet come out of the cabinet. Old lady Liu has passed away. Now she is the eldest daughter-in-law of Gu family. Gu is also a grandmother, but he is energetic and keeps his family in good order.

Liu Yanzhi put up Liu Huaqing's name. Liu Huaqing's face is really big enough. His three sons and four grandsons all came out to meet him.

Liu Zili, the eldest, is the most promising one in the family. He works in ruiwang mansion and has two sons. Liu Zizhi, the second child, likes to study some strange literary works. He is also famous for his calligraphy and painting in Jiangzhou, with a son and a daughter. Liu Zixin, the third year old, is still studying and has participated in many imperial examinations. Up to now, he has only been a member of the imperial examination. He has never been a Jinshi in the examination and has found a job in the county. There's a son and two girls down here.

In the flower hall, Liu Yanzhi and Xia Guo sit on the left side with a small rectangular table in front of them. The maid offered the fragrant tea, which was fragrant. Liu Zili, the eldest of the Liu family, praised Liu Yanzhi after being polite.

"Nephew Liu Xian is really a talented man with extraordinary bearing. I believe that his father is more successful every day."

Liu Yanzhi said with a smile, "my uncle is so flattered. The two elder brothers, Siwen and Sixian, are extraordinary in appearance and talent. In other words, we need to learn more from them. "

Xia Guo really felt uncomfortable listening to these polite words, but Liu Yanzhi was at ease. It seems that he has experienced many scenes like this. In his eyes, it's just the etiquette.

Sitting opposite the two young men slightly jaw head, but Liu Zili has a smile: "my dog how and nephew in case ah!" Having said that, it is obvious that he can see a happy smile on his face, so he must be very satisfied with his two sons.

"There must be a teacher for three people." Liu Yanzhi no longer entangled in those empty politeness, but directly cut into the topic, "Shibo, how is old master Liu?"

Liu Zili's face slightly hurt: "Alas! My father's health is going from bad to worse. He is not as good as before. Now he has a worse cough. Most of the time, I can only lie in bed. Otherwise, my father will want to see you. "

"In other words, I brought some sweet soup to his old man. Is it convenient to meet him now?" Liu Yanzhi tried to ask.

Liu Zili got up quickly and said, "my nephew has a heart. I'll take you right away." Several other people saw him stand up, and they also followed him.

Liu Yanzhi got up and said with a smile, "thank you for your help."

Xia Guo gets up with Liu Yanzhi and follows him with his food box.

"Please Liu Zili reached for a sign and took them to the backyard.

Liu's house is not very big, but those pavilions are with Jiangnan charm, Qingling elegant. The architectural style here has deviated from that of the Tang Dynasty.

Liu Zili didn't let all these people follow him. For fear of disturbing the old man's peace, he just let Si Yao follow him. Siyao is the son of Liu Zizhi, the second eldest son. His age is similar to that of Liu Yanzhi. Among his children and grandchildren, siyao is his favorite.

Walking to the upper room of the middle yard, the old man sat in front of the door in the sun, holding a cane. His hair was gray, his eyes were slightly closed, his face was thin, and the housekeeper at one side spoke to him.

Liu Zili walked over and said softly, "Dad, someone has come to see you."

Master Liu opened his eyes slightly: "who's here? I've been away from officialdom for more than ten years. Who can remember me as a bad old man? " I think he has students all over the world, but how many people have visited him since he left the officialdom? The human relationship is cold and warm, and the world is cold and cold. People have experienced it when they are old and young.

"It's Liu Yanzhi, the son of your student Liu Huaqing." Liu Zili replied with a smile.

Master Liu was stunned: "who do you say?" Among his many students, Liu Huaqing is the most promising. He is an official and upright man. He knew that he was too busy to come to Jiangzhou, but he was glad to hear his name.

"Elder Liu, younger Liu Yanzhi, came to visit you on behalf of his father." Liu Yanzhi came forward to salute.

Mr. Liu's face suddenly showed a smile, and he stood up with a cane. Liu Zili came forward to help him. Master Liu got up and walked toward Liu Yanzhi. Reach for Liu Yanzhi and look at him carefully.

"Are you Huaqing's son? So big? Good, good! Like your father. Like your father. Cough... Cough... "Lao Tzu Liu's eyes have never left Liu Yanzhi.

Liu Yanzhi put out his hand to help Mr. Liu sit down on the chair: "Mr. Liu, I made some sweet soup and brought it to you to taste."

"Good, good!" Mr. Liu sat on the chair again and looked at Liu Yanzhi, "is your father OK?"

"My father is OK. If he had not been busy with business, he would have come to see you personally. When I come to Jiangning this time, he exhorts me to come to Jiangzhou to visit you on his behalf. " Liu Yanzhi responds in a low voice. He looks at Xia Guo and asks her to take out the sweet soup.

Summer too busy to open the food box, food box insulation is done very well, a opened there is heat. Si Yao also came forward to help.

"Little brother, I'll help you!" Siyao took the cover of the food box in one hand and the bowl in the other.

Xia Guo said thanks with a smile, took out the stew cup and poured the Sydney soup into the bowl. The heat dispersed and a sweet smell floated out. Siyao couldn't help praising: "how fragrant! It smells beautiful. "

Xia Guo chuckled: "it's easy to make this sweet soup. I'll teach you when I have time."

Si Yao was a little embarrassed: "teach me? Ah, I'm a big man... "After saying it, I felt that it was wrong. The man in front of me was also a man. I looked at Xia Guo awkwardly," I, I don't mean that. I mean I'm stupid. "

Xia Guo doesn't mind. She smiles back: "you can carry it over."

"Good!" Siyao took the Sydney soup to Mr. Liu and said, "grandfather, this sweet soup smells delicious. Taste it quickly."

Master Liu seemed very happy: "Oh? Then I'll try it. " Siyao squatted down, scooped up a spoon and fed it to Mr. Liu. It seems that the descendants of the Liu family are very filial, and Xia Guo is also moved by this warm picture.

After eating, Master Liu couldn't help exclaiming: "light sweet glutinous, don't know what it is?"

"It's Sydney stewed with rock sugar." Liu Yanzhi responded with a smile, "it's helpful to relieve cough."

Master Liu's heart suddenly trembled and his eyes were red: "you child, you have a heart."

Liu Zili asked Liu Yanzhi, "how do you make this sweet soup? If it really works, the government can make some for my father every day. "

"In fact, it's very easy. Let my classmate Xia Guo teach me how to make it for your kitchen." Liu Yanzhi's polite response.

At this time, a young man came in to report to Liu Zili: "master, the LORD sent someone to let you go."

"Oh." Liu Zili looked at Liu Yanzhi and the old man.

"Zili, go! My old man said. And Zizhi and siyao. Don't delay the business of King Rui. " Master Liu gave an order.

Liu Zili looked at Liu Yanzhi apologetically: "dear nephew, stay at home for a few more days. I'll take good care of you when I'm free. "

"I'm serious. Business matters. " Liu Yanzhi smiles and nods.

Liu Zili changed his clothes and went out of Liu's house.

Mr. Liu had a good talk with Liu Yanzhi. He also took him to his study, and then did not let anyone else in.

Siyao looked at Xia Guo standing outside the door: "little brother, my grandfather really likes Liu Xiandi. Few people can enter his study. It seems that they are going to talk for a long time. Let me show you some other places! "

Xia Guo looked at the study and had to nod: "this is the only way. Thank you

With a smile, siyao led Xiaguo around the house: "little brother, what's your name?"

"Just call me summer!" Xia Guo knew his name was siyao, so he didn't pretend to ask his name politely.

"Summer?" Siyao said with a smile, "my name is Liu siyao. You can call me siyao as they do

"Ah? Oh Xia Guo thought about it. If she was asked to call her brother Liu or brother Xian. She'll bite her tongue.

Before they knew it, they went to the West courtyard, which was tidied up neatly. Although they didn't pay attention to the upper room, the layout was different. There is a wooden solar system like decoration in the yard.

"This is our family's yard." Si Yao introduced Xia Guo.

Xia Guo went to the decoration and looked at it for a long time: "what is this?"

"I don't know. My father said it was the stars in the sky." Siyao responded truthfully. Looking at the surprise in Xia Guo's eyes, he asked, "are you interested in this?"

Xia Guo nodded: "yes! May I see my uncle? "

"Of course! My father must be in the study at this time. " The smile on siyao's face. He believed that his father would be very happy to see someone interested in his things.

Siyao takes Xia Guo to Liu Zizhi's study and knocks on the door: "Dad, can I come in?"

"Come in!" Liu Zizhi's voice came from the study.

Siyao looked at Xiaguo with a smile: "let's go in!" Then he pushed the door in.

As soon as he entered the door, Xia Guo could not help looking surprised. The room was full of things about galaxies: "Wow! You're going to move the whole universe into your study. "

Liu Zizhi raised his head slightly, only to find that Xia Guo didn't blame the impolite boy, on the contrary, he felt a sense of joy in his eyes.

"Little brother, do you know what these are?"

Xia Guo could not help frowning: "I don't know, but this is the solar system. I know that the solar system is composed of nine planets. And the planet we live on is this one, and the moon is around it. " She pointed to the sphere of a picture.

Liu Zizhi suddenly stood up with a strange surprise in his eyes: "yes!"

"It's said that the sky is round and the place is round. I'm curious where my uncle knows it's round?" Xia Guo remembers that the person who clearly confirmed that the earth was round was Magellan, but that was more than a thousand years later! It's strange.
