Chapter 283: Homecoming (Tenth)
After a sip of wine, the old god looked at him: "There is nothing to be ashamed of. It is common sense to communicate with each other. If you are an ordinary person, I will not say anything that I promise you, let alone sit here and cook wine and chat. Of course, you don't have to worry. I have the relationship with me, so I don't want to ask you for help in the future. You just think that I am the one who supports me." He picked up the copper pot and poured wine in a simple manner.
After a few greetings, it was getting late, and Ye Chunqiu said goodbye.
When they returned home, several fellow villagers were also here, all discussing the matter of returning home. Some of these people were laymen, some were scholars like Ye Jing and his son, and some were apprenticed here, with people of all kinds. However, everyone respected Ye Jing and his son, and when they discussed the carriages, they were willing to give up the two best sedans in the convoy.
Ye Jing chatted with them, and Ye Chunqiu went over to salute them obediently and called him uncle. No matter they were scholars or peddlers, they did not neglect. Everyone laughed and praised Ye Chunqiu with a few words in his hometown accent. Ye Chunqiu slipped to his room.
I'm very distressed. If I grow up a little longer, I'm afraid that the guests will hide aside when they come, and I can't pretend to be stupid and cute anymore.
Ye Chunqiu thought, and couldn't help but laugh.
I wanted to bid farewell to Miss Wang Xizhi, but time was a little rushed. Moreover, at this time, it was the best time for the female clinic to do business. Ye Chunqiu had to leave a letter in disappointment and went back with her father.
There was nothing to say all the way, but the Ye family had been looking forward to returning to this long-lost family, and there were newly built archways and stone archways. The achievements of Ye's mother, Sun and the old lady, were written on it. Ye Chunqiu deliberately stopped in front of the golden painted archway. Above the archway, the stone carvings of "Gong Ci Wushuang" were passed by here. Ye Jing was filled with emotion and pulled Ye Chunqiu to the middle gate. The gatehouse was stunned and was stunned when he saw Ye Chunqiu and his son.
Although he kept saying that the eldest son and the young master were going back, he had no specific time to be named. However, inside and outside the Ye family had been busy, but the old lady still felt that it was not enough. He blamed Ye Jing for not explaining when he would arrive. County Magistrate Wang and all the villagers also kept asking, wanting to go to the county's long pavilion to greet him.
As a result, the father and son returned alone, carrying bookcases, carrying bags, wearing scarves that symbolize scholars, and their bodies were covered with dust.
At least... the current situation is different from what the gatekeeper imagined. Master Jie Yuan and Juren should be in a furious manner, but... how is this like escaping from famine?
The Ye family finally exploded.
A group of people flocked to him, which made Ye Jing feel a little overwhelmed. When he looked back, he saw Chunqiu? Chunqiu had already avoided and left.
There are always many things to do during the Spring Festival. Ye Chunqiu was finally able to enter the Ye family's ancestral hall. In the ancestral hall, he saw his mother's tablet. The golden lacquer handwriting that was personally picked up by the magistrate Wang County was particularly eye-catching among the many old tablets.
He looked at the tablet with all his thoughts. Under the plaque of Taizu Gong, he could also see his mother's name, grandson-daughter-in-law Sun...
It was like spring rain, everything was moistening things silently. The mother, who was once a taboo in this family, had left traces in the hearts of Ye Jing and his son, but there was no trace in the Ye family. But now, it suddenly appeared in every corner of the Ye family. The long-dead wife, who had passed away, now seems to have become a decent thing for the Ye family.
Ye Jing stayed in the ancestral hall for a few nights, and Ye Chunqiu naturally lived his own life. Many people wanted to visit him, first they had to go to the county to pay homage to the magistrate Wang and the new local county tutor, and then to the Huang family, and some distant neighbors, all of them had to walk around.
This family has begun to gradually improve and is no longer limited to Hexi, but has begun to connect various relationships tangibly and invisibly through some dense network of relationships.
The Zhou family in Shangxi also had a juren. Recently, a child has become a scholar. Now, while Ye Chunqiu is at home, he also comes to visit. Ye Chunqiu imitates the appearance of an adult and gradually takes on some responsibility. While the old lady and Ye Jing are not around, he invites him to tea in the hall and talks some gossip. After seeing off the scholar Zhou, the third aunt came with a smile: "Chunqiu, this is the account for this year. The family's expenses are all here, you have to see."
"Thank you for your hard work, Aunt San." Ye Chunqiu smiled at her, took the account book, and looked at it seriously. After all, he was young and had enough brains, so he looked at the accounts and asked, "Juncai should have arrived in the capital now, can he come back to revise the book?"
Aunt San seemed worried: "Not yet, this confused insect, I don't know if it happened to me. Chunqiu, my aunt was a little worried."
Ye Chunqiu only pursed his lips, his eyes still on the accounts. He had gradually become like a head of the family. Even when facing his aunt, he still had a noble temperament: "It's okay, nothing is wrong, let alone let Ye Hu and Ye Sanyi go with him? The money he carried was enough. He was also a personal military officer recruited by the court. It would be good if he didn't provoke others."
The third aunt hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, Chunqiu is talking about it. Also, since the second brother came back last time, your eldest father beat him hard and was about to drive him out of the wall. Who knew that he was crazy and didn't respond to any beat. He laughed at everyone and kept thinking about it over and over again. He wouldn't say it, even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn't dare to talk nonsense. Chunqiu, your second uncle must be crazy."
Ye Chunqiu had no expression on his face. At this time, he had roughly seen the account. The Ye family had already shown signs of prosperity this year. Although there was not much money and grain, the added land was more than 500 acres. He raised his eyes and looked at Aunt San, and said gently: "Oh, I feel sorry for the second house. No matter what, they are all relatives, close relatives of their own flesh and blood, broken bones, and there are also tendons. Aunt San, in the future, move more money and grain to the second house in the account. Aunt Second must not have a good life. Chen Liang also studied and the expenses must be quite large. Uncle Second, please find someone to see him."
Aunt San originally thought that she would make Ye Chunqiu happy after talking about the second child. Who wouldn’t know that the eldest and second houses had already broken their faces? Unexpectedly, Ye Chunqiu was like this. She couldn’t help but feel that this woman could not keep up with Ye Chunqiu’s thinking, but she still agreed: “Yes, I’ll listen to you. In fact, the third son also said that, it’s just that difficult to speak.”
Ye Chunqiu smiled. Uncle San was afraid that this was not the case, but when he spoke, Aunt San was such a smart person, of course he followed suit.
