"Well, let's go home"
Jiang Susu held Xiao Yundong in one hand and held Yunjing in the other and smiled. She held Yunjing's hand tightly...
As he said that, Jiang Susu looked at Liu Dazhuang and the others on horseback with some doubts in their eyes.
My father-in-law and husband are riding on their horses. Who are they? Why did they come back with their family?
She wanted to ask, but as a woman, she was embarrassed to ask.
Yunjing explained in time: "Mom, they are Uncle Liu and Uncle Ding. Master was worried that we would not be safe on the way back, so he specially asked them to send us back."
At this time, Liu Dazhuang and the others had dismounted and helped each other to help Yun Lin and Yun Shan down.
After hearing Yunjing's introduction, Liu Dazhuang and Ding Wei felt particularly comfortable. They were sent by Li Qiu, but in Yunjing's words, they were invited. Although the meaning was the same, the difference in one word made them feel uncomfortable.
They have a completely different feeling.
"I think this is Mrs. Yun, Liu is so polite," Liu Dazhuang said to Jiang Susu with cupped fists and a salute. Out of politeness, he simply glanced at Jiang Susu and looked away, secretly thinking that Master Yun's father is so lucky.
Ding Wei, who was traveling with him, did the same. He held his fists and saluted as a greeting.
Jiang Susu was a little shy. She had never been called this before. She lowered her head slightly and did not dare to look at them. She said softly: "Hello..."
After Yunjing and his family gathered together, Liu Dazhuang said at the right time: "Uncle Yun, Master Yun, everyone, since you are already here, let's go back first."
With that said, they were about to get on their horses and go back.
At this time, Yunjing quickly said: "Uncle Liu, Uncle Ding, it's almost dark now. It's a long way back and it's inconvenient. If you don't mind, how about staying at my house for one night and leaving tomorrow?"
"Master Yun, we won't bother you. We have to go back and report to the master. Moreover, we can go back very quickly. It won't take long for us to hurry up and get back to the town," Liu Dazhuang said with a smile.
At this time, Yun Lin also realized what he was doing, and quickly tried to persuade him: "Both brothers, you are already here, so don't go back in a hurry. It's almost dark, so just stay one night."
"That's right, even though we are a farmer's family, we also know that guests come to our door. There are no guests who come to our door and leave without even drinking a bowl of water. Besides, I have troubled you all the way. If you leave like this
, We feel sorry for ourselves." Yunshan also said.
They enthusiastically tried to persuade them to stay, but Liu Dazhuang and Ding Wei were a little hesitant.
Then Yunjing said: "Uncle Liu, Uncle Ding, just stay here for one night and go back tomorrow. I think Master won't blame you."
Their family was so enthusiastic about staying, especially since Yunjing even brought his master out. Naturally, Liu Dazhuang and the others couldn't leave just like that. Moreover, they thought they could also take this opportunity to get close to Yunjing and his family.
So after a slight hesitation, Liu Dazhuang nodded and said, "In that case, we won't bother you."
"Haha, don't bother me, don't bother me. It's rare to have guests at home. Come and come with us," Yun Lin immediately and enthusiastically invited.
Next, the group of people walked to Yunjing's house.
Jiang Susu was a little confused on the way. She had many things to ask, but she didn't know where to start.
Yunjing next to her felt something strange about her mother and whispered: "Mom, let's talk about it when we get back."
After hearing what he said, Jiang Susu suddenly stopped thinking so much.
She is a very simple person. As long as her family returns safely, nothing else matters...
Entering the village, because it was not dark yet, there were children playing around and adults enjoying the cool air and chatting. They were a little surprised to see Yun Jing and his party.
The children seemed a little excited when they saw the tall horse and wanted to get closer but didn't dare. The adults were guessing who the two strangers were but didn't know them. Seeing that they were getting along well with Yunjing's family, they were too embarrassed to come forward.
ask.
Yunlin Yunshan did not go around to spread the word because Yunjing wanted to become a scholar after becoming a disciple. Instead, he greeted the villagers as usual. No one asked, and they did not take the initiative to introduce Liu Dazhuang and the others.
In the final analysis, they still did not realize the huge change in their current status, and were afraid that introducing Liu Dazhuang and the others would cause them displeasure.
Along the way, Liu Dazhuang and Ding Wei were also secretly observing Xiaoxi Village.
The dilapidated houses, the villagers in rags... what they saw made them feel sad.
Yunjing, who was born in such a place, was actually chosen as his disciple by his master. They said with envy in their hearts, the Yunjing family was really smoking from their ancestral graves.
However, after observing secretly, Liu Dazhuang and Ding Wei were a little confused. It was not that they had never been to poor places in the countryside, but they found that although Xiaoxi Village was still no different from other poor villages, the faces of the people here could not be seen.
There are too many sad faces, which is a bit strange.
However, they didn't ask much, and they didn't even take it to heart. In the blink of an eye, they probably wouldn't even remember it.
They were a little surprised when they arrived at Yunjing's house, because the brick and tile house of Yunjing's house was so eye-catching, it was completely out of place with other dilapidated thatched houses, and it looked like a new house built in recent years.
"Both brothers, please come in. Don't laugh at the simplicity of our home. Well, where are your horse stalls? Will they fight with the cows? Do you want to feed them something?" Yun Lin asked enthusiastically after arriving home.
Liu Dazhuang smiled and said: "Uncle Yun, don't be polite. These two horses are very docile and won't fight with the cows. Just feed them some straw."
"That's right, that's OK." Yun Lin nodded, obviously convinced, and went to gather straw to feed the horses.
Liu Dazhuang and Ding Wei secretly looked at each other, with a hint of helplessness flashing in their eyes. They could only wrong the horses once today. It should be noted that the horses they rode from the Li family usually eat beans, which are better than many people. However,
It was really hard for them to ask the Yunjing family to bring grain to feed the horses.
After settling the horses, Yunlin, as the head of the family, began to make arrangements to receive Liu Dazhuang and the others. First, he ordered Jiang Susu to cook, and then ruthlessly arranged for Yunshan to slaughter a chicken. Liu Dazhuang and the others could not persuade him.
In the end it was up to him.
To be honest, Yunlin felt very bad about killing a chicken, but he was happy today. Besides, it was rare for guests to come to his home. Liu Dazhuang and the others were members of the Li family in the town. They were a wealthy family, so how could they not entertain them well? Besides,
Farmers are like this. They usually barely eat themselves, but when guests come, they always eat well. This is not because they are trying to show off their fatness, but because they sincerely don’t want to neglect the guests.
It was not completely dark yet, so Yun Lin had arranged to bring stools and sit in the courtyard to enjoy the cool air and chat with Liu Dazhuang and the others.
Yunjing took Xiao Yundong to keep him company. However, when Xiao Yundong was not afraid of anything, he was very curious when he saw the two horses at home. He always wanted to go over and have a closer look, but Yunjing couldn't pull him away.
live.
"Believe it or not, I'll beat you up!" Yunjing threatened, showing the majesty of an older brother.
Xiao Yundong felt a little aggrieved. Seeing his brother wanting to cry but not daring to cry, he kept glancing at the two horses.
Liu Dazhuang came to Xiao Yundong's rescue. He looked at Yun Jing and said with a smile: "Master Yun, since the young master likes horses, you might as well let me take him to see them. Don't worry, the horses are very docile. As long as I'm here, they'll be fine."
Hearing what he said, Xiao Yundong, who was still naive, felt that this uncle was a good person and grinned at him.
"Okay then", Yunjing thought for a while and nodded.
So Liu Dazhuang stood up, came to Xiao Yundong's side and said seductively: "Little Master, let's go, shall we go ride a big horse?"
"Ride a big horse and ask for it." Xiao Yundong was captured instantly and rushed towards Liu Dazhuang with a smile.
After watching them play, Ding Wei was accompanied by his grandfather, and Yunjing found an opportunity to go to the kitchen.
Jiang Susu was busy cooking by the light of the oil lamp, and Yunjing naturally took over the task of lighting the fire.
Adding firewood to the stove, Yunjing looked at her mother over there through the mist rising from the pot and said: "Mom, today we went to Mr. Li's house in the town to take the exam. I passed it and I have paid my respects to Mr. Li.
The title of master has been decided, but the formal apprenticeship ceremony will be held in ten days. Can you go with us on that day?"
In fact, Jiang Susu had wanted to ask them about their trip to the town for a long time, but she never had the chance. Moreover, from the very beginning when Yunjing introduced Liu Dazhuang and the others, she had some suspicion in her heart, but she didn't dare to think about it. Now
When she heard Yun Jing say it herself, she was stunned for a moment.
Really... the apprenticeship was successful?
At this moment, Jiang Susu didn't know what her mood was. She was definitely happy, and at the same time she was proud of her son. But for some reason, she felt a little empty in her heart.
It was as if the cub that I had raised for so many years was no longer my own after a trip to the town. I felt a little sad inexplicably.
"Okay, okay, my son has become successful, mother... mother is very happy." Jiang Susu was stunned for a while and then smiled. She was obviously happy, but Yunjing could not tell that she was happy at all.
Inexplicably, Yunjing felt a little confused. After a moment of silence, he simply changed the subject and said: "Mom, when I grow up and make money, I will buy a yard in the town or city, and then I will take you to the city.
Would you like to live here?"
"Well, okay, Mom, wait for that day," Jiang Susu said with a smile, her mood obviously much better.
Nodding seriously, Yun Jing said: "Then it's settled!"
My son has successfully become a teacher and will be able to study and become a scholar in the future. He said that he will buy a house in the city for him to live in in the future, but what is the city like? Is there land for farming? If there is no land for farming, how will he support himself?
?
For a moment, Jiang Susu was a little confused.
After a while, Jiang Susu almost whispered: "Xiao Jing, are you going to go to town to study in the future?"
"Mom, yes." Yun Jing nodded.
Her heart tightened inexplicably and her nose felt sour. Jiang Susu sniffed and said, "Then...then you have to listen to Master's words carefully from now on, you know?"
"Well, I listen to my mother and my master," Yun Jing said seriously.
"You...you have to learn to take good care of yourself when you're not with your mother anymore, you know?"
"good"
"You will be a scholar in the future, and you will no longer be a child. My son has grown up, and my mother is really happy..."
Listening to his mother's almost whispering words, Yun Jing felt sour in his heart. He forced a smile and said: "Mom, I'm not leaving now. Besides, the town is not too far from home. I can come back anytime I want.
Then don't bother me running home every two days. And if you miss me, you can go to town to see me at any time."
"Yeah," Jiang Susu said softly.
Yunjing looked at his mother's blurred face over there through the mist rising from the pot, opened his mouth, and said: "Mom, you are so kind..."
