Chapter 71 Hometown, Old People

I haven’t seen Huangshu for a long time. Today’s Huangshu is no longer the tomb robber who can be kicked and ordered by anyone, but a high-class family with four or five stores in Xinfeng City, Chang’an...

After the academy was restructured, he also granted a posthumous appointment to an eighth-rank official. If his background was not too bad, he should have been a seventh-rank official. Teaching in the academy is a very noble position, so no matter how big Ying Niang’s business is,

, Huang Shu is still the head of the family. A few years ago, I heard that because of the issue of taking concubines, he was in trouble. Now Huang Shu is no longer in that mood. He just wants to work in the academy until he retires and returns home.

The two ugly sons have now grown into half-grown young men, looking as good as mice. The eldest daughter married a poor student from the academy and is now said to be a county magistrate in Hebei, so he lives a very leisurely life.

And satisfied.

Xin Yue and Na Yue Mu had already boarded the bamboo raft. Huang Shu giggled and wanted to hold the bamboo raft himself, but Yun Ye refused.

"Old Huang, you are fifty years old too, so stop doing these cumbersome things. There are many students waiting to punt the boat, so just save it."

"Master Marquis, this old man is indeed getting old. His energy has become more and more exhausted in the past two years. I used to be able to walk out of a ten-foot-long tunnel in one night, but now I feel like I don't have enough energy when I get out of the tunnel. My father had a cough back then.

The problem is that he ate too much dirt. The old man is still alive and still has the strength to speak. It is all thanks to the Marquis. Without you capturing the old man alive, the old man would not know whether he was alive or dead now. How could he have a house full of sons?

Reward."

Huang Shu is getting old after all. He didn't say such soft words in the past, but now he has lost his confidence and is always worried that the academy will not want him.

"Old Huang, do you know that there is a rule in the academy? That is, the first batch of people to enter the academy are the tenured professors of the academy. In other words, as long as you don't kick your legs, no one can kick you out of the academy."

"Master Hou, are you serious about this?"

"Of course, seriously. Do you think that after working diligently in the academy all your life, you will be kicked out in the end? The academy has no such rules. How much money did Mr. Zhao Yanling spend on the academy? I was so angry that I couldn't do the same to him.

Method?"

Huang Shu smiled awkwardly and said, "Mr. Zhao is a university student. It's not good for an old man to compare with him."

"Did you know that he is a professor and you are a teacher? There is only one word difference. There is nothing incomparable. You just have low self-esteem. You can go out and show off in front of others. Are there many teachers in the academy?"

Yun Ye said a few words to Huang Shu, and Ying Niang brought a jar of cooked fermented glutinous rice. There were also several snacks, which Yun Ye loved to eat. Finally, she wrapped a large piece of sauce in lotus leaves.

Donkey meat is best eaten by tearing it with your hands.

The Yun family's bamboo raft does not require students to support it. Xiao Miao and her maids from the Western Regions can support the raft very quickly. Sister Elis is married to the housekeeper and head guard of the Hypatia family. Xiao Miao likes it best.

Use people from the Western Regions. So Xin Yue picked two more for her.

Xiaomiao has grown up on the water since she was a child. It is not difficult for her to hold a bamboo raft. It is not as embarrassing as the master and servant Xinyue used to be.

Seeing her husband smiling at her, Xin Yue immediately understood that this was a joke on the way she hugged the maid and screamed, and said angrily: "You did it on purpose, Xiaoqiu, a maid who grew up in Chang'an, how could she know how to support herself?"

Raft.”

Xiao Miao smiled and tapped her pennant gently on the rock. The bamboo raft rushed into the Dongyang River like an arrow. That day, she almost fell into the river by accident and angrily beat Xiao Miao on the back twice.

Only then did he relieve his anger. Ling Dang always looked so careful, sitting in the middle of the raft, slowly tearing the donkey meat into pieces and putting it into Yun Ye's mouth.

Lying on the bamboo raft, looking at the green hills on both sides of the strait, people became more alive. It was definitely a good enjoyment to suck the cold grape wine from a reed pipe, not to mention that Yun Ye added a lot of icing sugar to the grape wine.

, so the drink tastes sweet. Xin Yue and Na Rimu came over to take a sip from time to time. Ling Dang was the one who couldn’t drink. After two or three sips, his cheeks became as red as apples. Xiao Miao saw the four of them leisurely there.

While drinking, he acted as a coolie and handed the pennies to the maid, who also came over and took advantage of his young age to drink openly in Yun Ye's arms.

The bamboo raft had an unobstructed view. Yun Ye was a little embarrassed at first, but soon he found that he was really worrying too much. His family was not the only bamboo raft on the Dongyang River. The Shili Gallery on the Dongyang River was already there.

It is one of the eight scenic spots in Chang'an and is as famous as the Baqiao Weeping Willow, so there are many people holding bamboo rafts.

A bamboo raft with a shed slowly passed by, and the silvery chatter inside seemed not to be obscured at all. Through the bamboo curtain, you could even see the man and woman fighting hand to hand.

"Spit!" Xin Yue spat out bitterly, turned around and said to Yun Ye: "Husband, look at what these beasts have ruined the Dongyang River. This is Wenhua Baodi, and those animals are not allowed in the future.

The animals come to swim in the river."

"It's not easy to ban this. Maybe there is a prince or a prince on that bamboo raft. Once we ban it, we will be scolded to death. Just pretend we didn't see it. This is the first time I discovered that the Tang Dynasty has become

This is what it looks like.”

"You are not going out. Once you go out and go to the West Market, you can still see naked orchids at the door soliciting drinkers. Some orchids have a ring of bells tied around their waists, twisting their waists like

It’s like twists and very beautiful.”

As soon as Na Yuemu finished speaking, she saw Xin Yue's eyes widening, and she quickly ran behind Yun Ye, stuck her head out and said, "I also heard what the maid said."

"That maid? Tell me, and I will skin her when you get back. No one in the good daughter's family is ashamed now. This has ruined the atmosphere. The Tang Dynasty was made into a mess by these witches."

"Don't show off your prestige as the mistress of the house here. You are just out for fun. Sit down and don't fight. There are only five of us in our family. If you were like Liu Hongji's family, you wouldn't be alive."

Xin Yue curled her lips and said: "The four in our family are more difficult to manage than the four hundred in other people's families. Look at Mrs. Liu, how she sent away those wives and concubines after the death of the old man. One of them was sold to a brothel.

More than a hundred, even without regard for face, those with children would just give them a few acres of land and give it away.

If I dare to deal with one of these people in our family, you are not allowed to jump into the river, so I would like to teach you a few more lessons on weekdays, it will only do you good and not bad."

Seeing Xin Yue's unkind look that night, she quickly and diligently helped her husband massage his back. Xin Yue raised her hand several times and then slowly put it down. Xiao Miao's drinking capacity was light. Today's grape wine had icing sugar in it, so she got drunk without knowing it.

Then, he giggled and wanted to show Yun Ye the dance. Yun Ye stretched out his hand to pull Xiaomiao over and put it on his lap. After a while, the silly woman fell asleep.

Sitting cross-legged on the bamboo raft, surrounded by wives and concubines, the bamboo raft floats freely on the water. We have passed more than half of Shili Gallery, and the mountains have become abrupt. Originally, there were two corresponding green mountains here, but now only one remains.

, and there was a strange rock standing there. Seeing that mountain, Yun Ye's heart couldn't help but ache. There were more than 800 innocent souls buried under this mountain.

"The Yangtze River rolls eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure are all gone. The green mountains are still there. The sunset is red several times. White-haired fishermen and woodcutters are on the river. They are used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. We happily meet each other over a pot of turbid wine. So many things happened in ancient and modern times.

, it’s all a joke!”

Feeling sour in my heart, I couldn't help singing Yang Shen's lyrics. Although it was very unexpected, there were cheers coming from the river.

"The beauty is old, the general is gray-haired, Marquis Yun is now in his proud moment, why is he crying like this?" Changsun Chong stood on another bamboo raft and raised his voice.

Yun Ye realized that he really had nothing to say to this person. He sighed, picked up the bamboo pole, and pushed the bamboo raft farther away from Changsun Chong. Since the world has a new pattern, there is no need to play anymore if you have nothing to do.

The disgusting drama of continuing a relationship.

Seeing that Yun Ye ignored him, Changsun Chong also felt a little sad. He returned to the cabin, roughly hugged a singer, and bit her hard on the shoulder. Blood flowed down the beauty's white collarbone.

But the beauty didn't dare to say a word.

Seeing dead mice when drinking soup, half-cut maggots when eating vegetables, this is how Yun Ye feels at this time. It is because he cherishes his previous emotions so much that he hates Changsun Chong more and more now.

I no longer wanted to swim in the river, so I stopped at the shore halfway. The Yun family's carriage came briskly from the roadside. The family of five got into the carriage. The coachman gently shook the reins, and the carriage drove along the roadside path toward the green.

I ran past the small building hidden among the trees. I won’t go home today and will stay in the villa.

Gongshu Mu is still living tenaciously. Ten years ago, people said that the old guy could not survive more than a year. Ten years later, everyone still said the same thing. Seeing him lying half-dead in the sun, Yun Ye got off the carriage and decided to do it no matter what.

Go over and say hello.

As I got closer, I realized how extravagant the old guy was. Others were extravagant by hanging gold and jewelry shells on their bodies. The recliner the old guy sat on was worth tens of thousands, and it was made of red sandalwood!

"I remember the last time I asked you to make a set of furniture for my home. I gave you a whole cart of wood and took the furniture home. I always felt something was wrong. It turns out that something was wrong with you."

The old guy opened his eyes a little, glanced at Yun Ye, and said hummingly: "I am just a carpenter. Don't waste the wood you can save. Use a few scraps of wood to piece together a chair.

You can also see it in your eyes, you are too stingy, Xin Yue, what is in the food box? Take it out and give the old man a few bites, and the whole family will be stunned."

Xin Yue put the food on my table with a smile. Yun Ye said angrily: "If you sell this table, it will be enough for your family to eat for three years."

"Boy, are you tired? When you are tired, take a rest and dig into the mud pit all day long. There is a good person there. Take a rest, take a rest, and stop tossing...".)
