A moment later, inside the wooden house.

The heavy snow is falling, the wind is getting colder, and a fire fills the house with spring.

Gu Tianya couldn't help but sneeze, and then stretched his cold hands to the fire. He deliberately acted very comfortable, turned to everyone and smiled: "What are you doing standing here? Let's sit down and warm up by the fire.

.If you are so formal, it will make me feel very uncomfortable. Come, come, sit down, let's just chat and watch the New Year together around the fire..."

It's a pity that several members of the Hu family in Jingyang are obviously still cautious.

At this time, we can see how huge the difference is between family background and family background.

If it were a family like the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, or even a slightly famous family, even if Gu Tianya suddenly came to visit, those people would definitely not be restrained.

It can be seen that although a person's background is not extremely important, it determines the environment and knowledge in which he or she grows up. What does the environment and knowledge in which one grows up mean? Sometimes it just means having confidence and courage.

The Hu family in Jingyang is just a small family that has just entered the mainstream.

Obviously they have not yet developed this kind of confidence and courage.

Gu Tianya smiled helplessly, and had no choice but to stand up from the stove again, then walked to the door in person, dragged everyone to the stove one by one, and forced them down, and then made everyone sit down.

Li Jiancheng witnessed this scene with a smile, picked up a small stool and sat next to the stove. The former prince of the Tang Dynasty did not speak, but just stretched out his hand and put it on the stove to keep warm.

On the contrary, Ma Sanbao did not sit down, but waved to the young man and said warmly: "Little guy, you and I will serve everyone's tea together."

The young man was stunned for a moment, then he realized what he was doing and said quickly: "I can do it by myself, I don't dare bother you to do it."

Ma Sanbao laughed, shook his head and said: "I am a retainer of the Gu family, and you are a disciple of the Gu family. When your master is talking to someone, we should be responsible for the reception... Hurry and get some tea.

Come out and make a pot of water for your master to warm himself up. The wind and snow are so strong tonight, and he can’t withstand the wind and cold like me."

In fact, there is something else hidden in this statement.

Although the wind and snow are heavy tonight, Gu Tianya is not a frail person, so what Ma Sanbao is really worried about is Li Jiancheng? Li Jiancheng is the one who can't stand the wind and cold.

Unexpectedly, the young man's face turned red, his expression was obviously shy, and he said weakly: "Tea... there is no tea!"

Ma Sanbao was stunned for a moment. Then he thought thoughtfully and asked, "Has all the money been spent on food?"

The little guy nodded.

At this time, Gu Tianya finally spoke and said with a warm smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't have tea, you can still drink boiled water. Neither eldest brother nor I are people who enjoy themselves. It would be nice to have a sip of boiled water to warm our bodies."

The little guy quickly said: "Disciple, go dig snow and boil water now."

As he said that, he ran out of the door.

As a result, Ma Sanbao suddenly stretched out his hand and carried him back like a chicken. He laughed and said, "You better stay good, little guy. Just let me do the rough work. It's so windy and snowy outside? I don't dare to let him."

You are freezing. What if you are frozen? Maybe your master will find a reason to punish me? He is good at everything, but he is a little unreasonable when he loves his disciples."

After saying that, he pushed the boy to the ground and placed him right next to Gu Tianya. Then the tall and powerful man picked up an iron pot, opened the door and went to dig snow in the snow outside.

The young man was in a daze.

Gu Tianya pulled a small stool and said warmly again: "Sit down too, just sit next to me. After Ma Sanbao gets the snow back, you can just wait on the stove and boil the water."

"Yes!" The young man agreed respectfully.

But he soon seemed to remember something. He suddenly looked up at Gu Tianya and said worriedly: "Master, you sneezed when you entered the room just now."

Gu Tianya smiled warmly and said: "It's okay, you're not sick? The reason why you sneeze is because you suddenly enter a warm house from the cold outside. When your nostrils are hit by the hot air, you will sneeze easily. This is a common sense in life.

, if you don’t believe it, you can recall the memories.”

The young man hesitated for a moment, then nodded quickly: "It seems to be true. Sometimes my disciple will sneeze just after coming back from outside. But I have never paid attention to such details. If you don't tell me, I'm afraid I will never understand it in my life. It can be seen that

Knowledge is everywhere, and every little thing is worth thinking about."

Gu Tianya was very pleased and rubbed his little head with satisfaction. It was only at this moment that Gu Tianya's expression suddenly became solemn and he asked solemnly: "Disciple, what is your proper name? You were outside just now because of the cold weather.

Feng, so I don’t want you to really kneel down in the snow and kowtow, but rush into the house without even having time to ask your name."

The young man quickly puffed up his chest, subconsciously stood up from the stool, and said excitedly: "Reporting to Master, my disciple's name is Hu Yun..."

"Hu Yun?"

Gu Tianya recited a word, then suddenly his face looked a little weird, and he laughed and said: "Yunzhe, to be honest, this word is a good word, but it doesn't fit well with your last name. Hu Yun, Hu Yun, this word

Isn't that nonsense? How could your elders give you such a name?"

Hu Yun's face was a little feverish, and he whispered: "Because my disciple has liked to think wildly since he was a child, and he also likes to tell everyone about his random thoughts. In order to help me get rid of this problem, the elders of the clan specially gave me the medicine.

The purpose of correcting the name of the word 'cloud' is to remind me to constantly remind myself that I can't just think and talk nonsense all my life."

Gu Tianya frowned and said in a cold tone: "Is it necessarily wrong to think wildly? Does speaking one's inner thoughts necessarily mean nonsense? In my opinion, it may not be the case with the actions of the elders in your family.

It’s really a bit…hey…”

He suddenly stopped talking, obviously not wanting to criticize others casually.

But his face was obviously not very good-looking, and he was obviously guilty of protecting the calf again.

Li Jiancheng next to him saw it funny and couldn't help but reach out and hit him, reminding him: "Brother-in-law, you are a disciple who has just accepted me, and you haven't kowtowed yet, so now you start to protect him?"

Gu Tianya was immediately embarrassed and quickly coughed twice to cover up.

But young Hu Yun's eyes were already red with emotion, and he couldn't help but whisper: "Master, you just accepted me as your disciple and you love me so much..."

Gu Tianya coughed again, stretched out his hand to pull the little guy back to the small stool, and said warmly: "Just sit down and talk. There is no need to be restrained between master and disciple. Hu Yun, remember, you are the sixth disciple in my sect. Before you

There are five senior brothers above, and I will let you get to know them when I have time."

Hu Yun said quickly: "Disciple knows a few senior brothers."

Gu Tianya was startled, then woke up and said with a smile: "That's true, you must know them. Those five little guys each have several errands. As a member of Youzhou, you must have dealt with them.

.But you know them, but they may not know you well, so you still need to meet each other, so that we can become more cordial between brothers."

Hu Yun respectfully agreed and said softly: "Yes!"

Gu Tianya then brought the topic to the main topic and said slowly: "Tonight, my teacher came here unexpectedly. The first reason was because I visited a poor family. I learned about your style from that family's mouth.

So I am very curious about you, a little guy from a noble family. Originally, I had no intention of accepting a disciple. I just wanted to give you some points as encouragement and reward..."

He paused for a moment, then continued: "But when I stood in front of the wooden house and heard you arguing with the family, a young man who refused to admit defeat suddenly appeared in front of me, and at the same time, a young man who was being raped suddenly appeared in front of me.

Surrounded by difficulties and helpless, at that moment I suddenly felt that this was the opportunity for me to become another disciple."

"So I must accept this young man and teach him how to get out of difficulties."

"And this young man is you..."

Gu Tianya paused again when he said this, and suddenly stretched out his hand to gently rub Hu Yun's little head, and said warmly: "Disciple, you want the people in your group to live a good life, right? But you just accepted it.

Forty-three families already feel like they can’t hold on any longer, right?”

"People in your family don't understand you, and your elders are trying to dissuade you. Even you yourself are gradually starting to back down. You know that if you persist like this, the first person to be brought down will be the Jingyang Hu family behind you.

But even though you know that this will be the outcome, you still feel unwilling to do so in your heart. Because you want those people to live a good life..."

Hu Yun's eyes turned red, and suddenly all his grievances burst out, and he said: "Master, they are all old, weak, sick and disabled. If I abandon them, they will become undesirable again."

Gu Tianya sighed and said: "So you gritted your teeth and held on, and kept arguing with the tribesmen about it. You wanted to hold on until the day you couldn't hold on anymore, thinking that at least the people would have one pancake to eat every day, right?

wrong?"

Hu Yun's eyes were already sparkling, but the young man stubbornly held back the tears and said loudly: "This way I will at least not blame myself too much for the rest of my life, because I have given my best efforts."

Gu Tianya laughed, nodded and said, "Okay!"

After praising him, his face suddenly became serious and he solemnly said: "But, the method is wrong."

The little guy was stunned immediately.

But he saw Gu Tianya slowly stand up, his eyes full of depth, and he said slowly: "Disciple, let me ask you, how big is the land of Youyun as my master?"

Hu Yun hesitated for a moment, then quickly blurted out: "Own the land of five states."

Gu Tianya nodded and suddenly asked: "What if we add Yunzhou in the northwest and Tanzhou in Hebei?"

Hu Yun did not hesitate this time and replied loudly: "That is the territory of the seven states."

Gu Tianya said 'hmm' and suddenly raised a question again: "Am I poor or rich in my seven-state territory?"

At this time, everyone in the room understood that Gu Tianya was about to start teaching his students. The middle-aged people from the Hu family in Jingyang held their breath, fearing that they would accidentally interrupt this special teaching.

But he saw Hu Yun's little face showing deep thought, and after a long while he answered carefully, "The land of Qizhou under Master's command is considered poor compared to other places. Therefore, my disciple's answer to your question just now

It’s poverty.”

Gu Tianya barely gave him any time to stay, and asked again in an instant: "So, how many poor people are there in my seven states?"

The question this time was too difficult, and the little guy was obviously stifled.

The middle-aged people from the Hu family in Jingyang frowned, and they were obviously trying to figure out the answer to this question.

Even Li Jiancheng seemed to have frowned. There was no definite answer to the question of how many poor people there were in the Seven States.

After a long time, Hu Yun took a deep breath and tried hard to answer: "A lot!"

This answer is a bit tricky, but I have to say that this answer is the answer closest to the correct answer.

Sure enough, Gu Tianya nodded and said happily: "Not bad, a lot!"
