Chapter 143: The Savior

When the boat arrived in Hangzhou, it had to say goodbye. Many people had relatives and friends in Hangzhou, so they had to visit each other. Everyone agreed to reunite on the day and place, so they dispersed.

Ye Chunqiu walked away with a bag on his back.

The old man once told Ye Jing and his son to visit his third uncle. If relatives do not move around, they will inevitably become unfamiliar. When he is old, he will always recall the fact that he went to Hangzhou to stay at his third uncle's house. In the past, the second uncle also often went to Hangzhou, and most of them lived in his third uncle's house.

Ye Jing has been to the Ye family in Hangzhou several times, so he is familiar with the world. The city of this era has not changed much. It was like this here ten years ago, and it was almost the same ten years later.

Ye Chunqiu followed Ye Jing like a little bitch, looking at the street scene along the way. Compared with Ningbo, Hangzhou has less of Ningbo's mercy. In the prosperity, there are more temperaments. He listened to Wuzhong's soft words, as if he was unable to melt marshmallows, and it was a bit greasy. The streets were much cleaner, especially scholars, and there were countless. The wine flags along the way were not as strong as Ningbo restaurants, as if they were afraid that others would not know how to sell their own wine. On the contrary, most of the signs were not conspicuous, but the door-to-door business side seemed to have a different charm.

Halfway through the way, Ye Jing bought a candied haw and stuffed it to Ye Chunqiu: "Chunqiu, eat."

Ye Chunqiu was holding the candied haws. Well, she was almost thirteen years old. It seemed that she was still a half-year-old child. Although she was about to marry in this era, she should love to eat candied haws. So she put a gourd into her mouth and it was surprisingly sweet.

After walking half a stick of incense, he finally stopped at a village in the suburbs. The village was not small, and he leaned against the suburbs of the city, and wrote a letter to the four characters of the family. Walking in, it was the gatekeeper. Ye Jing looked at the village in a bit of emotion and said to Ye Chunqiu: "I haven't been here for 17 or 18 years for my father, and I almost didn't recognize the way. Later, you will meet the third uncle and all the uncles. Remember to be good, do you know?"

Ye Chunqiu said with a innocent look on his face: "Dad, I have always been very obedient."

Ye Jinghe said, "Your eldest father attaches great importance to this family. At that time, that happened more than 20 years ago. He came to Hangzhou for the exam and wanted to get water near the courtyard. He fell into the well. It was your third uncle who saved him. The third uncle is both your eldest father's brother and his life-savior."

Ye Chunqiu for some reason, but his father suddenly said such things here. He was not just a simple boy, and he always felt that there was something profound.

When Ye Jing stepped forward, knocked on the door. When the door opened, Ye Jing reported the door. The door smiled and said, "Oh, it turns out that it is Mr. Ye from Hexi, come in."

When Ye Chunqiu and his son were asked to go in, the door did not report it. Instead, he called another person. The man nodded and led Ye Jing and his son to settle down. The place covers a large area and is full of green bricks and red tiles. In addition, it is located on the outskirts of Hangzhou, which looks very grand. Even the servants here are all uniformly decorated with navy blue clothes, which is different from the long-term workers of the Ye family in Hexi.

They settled Ye Jing and his son in a guest room. It was clean and unique, but Ye Chunqiu was a little suspicious because this was not the back house. Logically speaking, he was also their relative and should have moved into the back house. Of course... they may have some taboos, but since they came to visit, shouldn't they meet first, and everyone exchanged a few greetings and then settled down? Why did the door bring himself here by himself?

Ye Jing was quite calm, so he went outside to boil water, so that Ye Chunqiu took off his shoes and took a rest after a refreshing rest.

Ye Chunqiu guessed something roughly in his mind, but said deliberately: "Dad, why can't you see the third uncle?"

"Your third uncle is old, so you can see him wherever you can say." Ye Jing scooped out the boiled water with a gourd and said with a smile.

Ye Chunqiu pressed step by step: "But even if the third uncle is not convenient to meet guests, the uncle and uncle here should come to meet him. If we don't go to see him, wouldn't it be a violation of the rules? Didn't my father always teach Chunqiu and be well-educated?"

Ye Jing avoided Ye Chunqiu's gaze: "Well, they might be busy. In short, let's settle down first. When we come here, it's just like our own family. The uncles and uncles are all very good."

It's good to see the hell.

Ye Chunqiu clearly felt Ye Jing’s strangeness, so he didn’t ask much. Since he came, he would be at ease. He was here to take the exam, and the exam was the most important.

However, although the provincial examination is held in the beginning of spring, the examiner needs to confirm the exam period. Now we have to wait for the news from the tribute school to release, so there is no need to hurry for the time being.

Ye Chunqiu was a little tired, so he simply slept with his clothes. When he woke up, it was already late and it was dim outside. Ye Jing came in with food at this time and said with a smile: "Chunqiu, you're hungry, you're eating."

Ye Chunqiu stood up with his shoes and stretched his waist, making him even more strange: "When relatives come, do they let us have dinner on their own? Dad, I have read so many books, but I have never seen such a person."

"Ah, they are busy. Your clan's uncle is going to take the exam for the juren now, and your clan's uncle is going to be busy with the business outside. Your third uncle is from a juren and was the chief clan's clan's clan. But later he felt it was meaningless, so he simply returned to Hangzhou to live in. Spring and Autumn, wash your hands quickly."

Ye Jing's explanation is very far-fetched.

But Ye Chunqiu has to accept it even if he doesn’t accept it. Who made himself a child?

After he purified his hands, the father and son sat opposite each other, each stewing rice. It was reasonable to say that three dishes and one soup. If an ordinary person treats guests, it would be reasonable, but the third uncle is so rich...

Forget it, it’s better not to complain, but eating is important.

Ye Chunqiu had barely eaten half full, and began to study under the supervision of his father. Although he was holding the book, he absent-mindedly searching for information related to the Four Books and Five Classics with his brain. This is almost a necessary homework for him to fully integrate into this era or into the circle of scholars. Zhihuzhe is also a must-have, and these things that should have blurted out cannot be searched temporarily.

After almost the writing was finished, he stood up and said, "I want to practice calligraphy."

Ye Jing was already intoxicated when he was watching the books. It was rare for people to regard reading as the best. Ye Chunqiu looked at his father with heartache and thought that this old man was very pitiful. But when he thought about it carefully, his father was happy and could get spiritual satisfaction even when reading books. But when I thought about reading, it was like being on pins and needles, which was pitiful, so I couldn't help but feel sorry for myself.

………………………………

It's another tenth update. Now I'm tired and have no strength to say more. Thousands of words are summed up in three words: "Please give me a monthly vote"!
