After seeing off the three subordinates, Xu Ping sat in the living room for a while, looked up at the sky, and the sun was still hanging in the sky, and suddenly felt bored. He had been resting at home these days, so he said that there was no chaos in silk and bamboo, and no labor of papers. He was originally a life that officials yearned for, but why did he feel a little empty?

For piano, chess, books, and painting, you must develop some hobbies, otherwise it would be boring to live this life. But I took sick leave, and I couldn’t go out to visit relatives and friends, and I couldn’t travel around the country and the river. How can I pass this life?

Standing up, Xu Ping lowered his head and walked towards the backyard. Suddenly he wanted others to come to see him. He had a lot of guests, so he could pass the boring time.

When they arrived at the backyard, they saw Lin Su Niang and Su Er chatting enthusiastically. Xiuxiu and her two children were busy. Li Zhang talked with her father. After not having a chat together, she was already helpless.

Seeing Xu Ping coming in, Li Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said, "Is there something urgent before?"

Xu Ping waved his hand: "It's nothing, it's just a trivial matter in the yamen. Those people dare not take the initiative, so they come and ask me."

Xu Zheng also felt that Li Zhang was not a good chat partner, and his reaction was not enthusiastic at all. Although what he said was so interesting, his expression was very perfunctory. He stood up and said to Xu Ping: "Dalang, your body is almost well. I will have an appointment with a few old brothers tomorrow to hold a poetry meeting at home, and let them taste the watermelon."

Xu Ping and Li Zhang looked at each other, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh, and said, "Dad, even if you go there, the place at home is very big, with gardens and farms, it's best to relax."

When Xu Zheng was young, he couldn't read a single big word. Later, when his business grew, he started to read and keep accounts. He had never read a few poems and lyrics, but he even learned to start a poetry party. His poetry lesson was fake, but he was afraid that drinking and eating meat would be fun. He simply called it "现一家" and it was a real name.

Seeing his son's expression, Xu Zheng also knew that the ink in his belly was a bit of a sheep-headed selling dog meat, and muttered: "A few days ago, two old brothers asked me to join the 'Ranning Club', and I was still thinking about it."

After hearing this, Xu Ping hurriedly said, "Dad, it's fine if you hold a poetry meeting, but you must not enter the 'Lan Lantern Club' and 'Incense Club'. If you have that intention, it's fine if you burn incense and donate some incense money in the temple, you can't get any money from these clubs!"

"Why? I saw that many wealthy families in the capital entered the club, saying that they were accumulating blessings for their descendants."

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. They can't make a living by working hard on their own. Dad, I don't care which temple you go to to burn incense for which Buddha you go to. Those clubs that recite scriptures and burn incense cannot go to. The devil sects in the food industry in Liangzhe area were so encouraging believers at the beginning. It is not a trivial matter to violate the national law!"

Xu Zheng shook his head, muttering a few words, and went to talk to Zhang Sanniang. Xu Ping's authority in speaking at home became increasingly greater and greater. His son said he could not enter, so Xu Zheng could only let go of his mind.

Large-scale religious clubs, the first Bailian Club was recommended by Xu Ping, who had the knowledge of his previous life, so he naturally knew how many stories the name caused later. In this era, the White Lotus Club still existed, and other religious clubs mainly include the Lantern Club, the Incense Club, and the Law Club, which were also widely distributed. However, these clubs only had the same name and had no connection with each other. Only organizations that believers gathered together to do rituals or engage in large religious activities can be accommodated by the government. But who knows which of these organizations will become part of the cult organization by accident? When Xu Zheng participated in it in a confused manner, Xu Ping was beautiful at that time.

The Maitreya Cult on Jingdong Road and the Demon Cult on Liangzhe Road are the most troubling secret religions in this era. However, they have not yet risen up and the government's attitude is relatively relaxed, but it is still prohibited in the legal sense.

Seeing Xu Zheng walking aside and talking to Zhang Sanniang, Xu Ping said helplessly to Li Zhang: "Old man, I started praying to God and Buddha at this age. My father used to be fine and never came to the temple gate."

Li Zhang nodded, feeling deeply. The same was true for his father Duan in his family. When he was young, he did things like spying on information and such things as unsightly. He didn't know where the temple gate was opened. A few years ago, his family was not well off, so he was fine with his grandchildren. He became rich these past or two years, and he began to get close to Taoist monks and monks, doing things to pray to gods and Buddhas.

Who can avoid human nature?

Seeing that the old woman and women had their own things to do, Xu Ping and Li Zhang couldn't even get into their mouths. It was boring to stay here. Xu Ping said: "The bamboo and wood in the garden at home have grown, and it's a bit of a scenery. It's better to go there."

Li Zhang nodded, left the backyard with Xu Ping, and went to the garden behind. The couple wanted to stay here for dinner today, and had to rest at the Xu family, and would not go home tomorrow. The two brothers grew up together, and their relationship was different from others, even Lin Suniang and Suer also had a deep relationship.

At this time, the most typical gardens in the two capitals are that they have more mountains and few waters and are vast inland and exudes a bold and generous atmosphere inside and outside. The back garden at Xu Ping's home had pushed off the walls from the New Year and connected them with large areas of mountains and trees outside. There was no rockery piled up in the garden, but two small hills were directly wrapped in. Between the two mountains, a small river meandered through, gathering into a large pond at the entrance of the valley.

Liu Xiaoyi had sharp eyes and led two good horses early to follow him. He went to the woods and said to Xu Ping: "Do you want the marquis of the county to ride a horse? The weather is sunny today, so it's good to ride a horse and relax."

Xu Ping shook his head: "Forget it, I usually ride horses when I go to court, and I'm a little tired of it. I'll rest at home these days and let the horses rest as well. Take it to the place with good water and plants, so that they can have fun."

Liu Xiaoyi promised and took the horse away.

I have mountains and rivers in my home, so big that I need to ride a horse to see the scenery. It’s fine in a countryside like Zhongmu, but now it’s in Tokyo. Although outside the city, it’s still the city of Kaifeng. With this huge area in the circle, the Xu Ping’s family can be regarded as a top-notch wealthy family in the capital.

After walking with Li Zhang for a while, he turned around and saw the shooting range not far away. Xu Ping suddenly became interested and said to Li Zhang: "Let's go there to compare bows and arrows and see how everyone has made progress in the past few years."

Li Zhang smiled and said, "Brother has led a large army to fight wars. How can I compare to it?"

"You are a military general in the court now, how can you say such things? Let's give it a try!"

Bows and arrows are the only gambling method that can be gambling. One of the six arts, most scholars practiced it twice. The envoy Chen Yaozuo once used copper coins as a target, and even the quiet Wang Zeng of Wenwen was able to break the Khitan with one arrow. Xu Ping also practiced it every day, and he was better than Li Zhang in both strength and accuracy before, so I don’t know how he is now.
