Chapter 23 There is no difference between ancient and modern
The old patriarch, who had shed tears and vented his grievances, held Yun Zheng's hand and never let go...
After shouting, the patriarch's authority was immediately demonstrated, and the people in the village quickly appeared at the entrance of the village.
The lame man, who was wearing a member's uniform that didn't fit very well, smiled and said to Yun Zheng: "The clan leader said that if you don't come back this time, you should wait until he dies before you come back."
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Uncle Lame, am I back? Are you looking for a new aunt in your new clothes?"
The stonemason laughed and scolded: "If a lame person is not lame, he will have to go to heaven. Ever since he made a lot of money, he has imitated the people in the city to drink and listen to music. If he doesn't go to Xinghua Tower once a month, he will not feel comfortable, and his family's livelihood will be ruined."
Leave it to the mother-in-law and do nothing by yourself..."
Yun Zheng, Lu Qingqing, and Yun Er were all dragged to his home by the old patriarch, and the rest began to arrange their belongings. This time they brought back a lot of things from Tokyo and Chengdu. They looked at countless boxes and cages entering the house.
The clan leader was extremely happy. This was the attitude of preparing to stay for a long time.
There is a fire pit in the brick house, which is a very strange thing. The beams have been smoked bronze by the smoke, and there is no way to tell that this is a newly built house.
It is still the old habit to hang seven or eight skewers of bacon above the firepit. As long as there is a fire in the firepit, the house will be filled with the scent of bacon.
The wooden floor was polished until it was shiny. I took off my shoes and sat on it. After a while, a slight warmth came over me. There was actually an earth dragon under the floor.
"Ever since I heard the news that you were coming back, the old patriarch was so happy that he couldn't sleep. The first thing he did when he woke up every day was to look at Nanshan. After watching for one day, you didn't come back. After watching for two days, you didn't come back. After watching for ten days, you didn't come back.
Then the old patriarch became angry..."
The old patriarch looked at the room full of people with a smile and asked them all to sit down. He held a clay bowl between his legs, grabbed a handful of green tea and put it into the bowl, and held a half-meter-long beating stick.
Pound frequently and rotate. While beating, add some sesame seeds, peanut kernels, vanilla, yellow flowers, fragrant leaves, and morningweed into the bowl. After the contents in the bowl are pounded into a paste, the tea will be ready. Then
, use a ladle to sift the beaten tea, put it into a copper pot, add water and boil it, and the whole hall will be filled with fragrance.
Yun Zheng liked to drink the Leicha made by the old patriarch the most. One bowl was not enough. The old patriarch saw that Yun Zheng drank a big bowl happily and continued to ask for more. His wrinkled face burst into laughter. As for
He didn't care whether Lu Qingqing and the others liked drinking.
Yun Er also likes to drink. When he proudly told the old patriarch that he was a supervisor of the Imperial College, an official who would serve as a prisoner, and finally married a princess, Yun Zheng, a shabby prince and a useless general, immediately had no one.
I ignored him, how could Yun Er, who married a princess, be any more powerful?
The men were all asking how beautiful the Royal Princess was, and how big the scene of the Royal Wedding was. Women rushed out to see if the Royal Princess really looked like a fairy, and whether she was wearing clothes woven with gold threads...
…
Qin is a beautiful country, and its clothes are extremely gorgeous, but sitting on the ground trembling and crying ruins all the beauty.
Ge Qiuyan was wrapped around a colorful python that was as thick as an arm. Its mouth was wide open, spitting out messages as if it wanted to bite Ge Qiuyan.
Ge Qiuyan stood there helplessly, letting the damn house-keeping snake swim around her body. Seeing that she had frightened Qin, she tore the beast off her body and kicked her.
I want it to get out of here quickly.
Yun San barked loudly to help Qin Guo and scolded the guard snake, but was slapped aside by someone's tail.
"Yes, there are a lot of mice in the house. If there are no house snakes, the mice can destroy all the clothes and food in one night."
"Mouse?" Qin Guo screamed and hugged Ge Qiuyan tightly without letting go.
The women in the village were fully aware of the royal princess's coquettishness. Several mulberry picking girls of the same age screamed twice, and immediately many housekeeper snakes swam out from the houses where they were stationed. The largest one was over one foot tall.
how long.
Qin was so frightened that he could no longer cry. He screamed and rushed into the old patriarch's house. Regardless of whether there was anyone in the house or not, he hugged Yun Er and burst into tears.
The old patriarch's dark face suddenly became even darker. He stood at the window and cursed a few times. The mulberry-picking girls laughed and went to help the Yun family put away their things.
"The housekeeping snake will not hurt anyone. I have never heard of anyone's housekeeping snake hurting people, unless it is extremely hungry and eats one or two chickens..."
Yun Er came out of the house carrying Qin Guo, who was clinging to him like a koala, and kept comforting her. He pointed at the bacon that was teaching the house snake a lesson and said to Qin Guo: "You don't know, do you? The summer here is very hot.
It’s hot. When I was a kid, I loved sleeping with the house snake in my arms. It’s cool and more effective than Mrs. Bamboo.”
It is natural for girls to be afraid of snakes. Yun Er could see how honest the housekeeping snake was, but Qin Guo naturally thought that this thing was very evil.
Bacon tied a ribbon around the housekeeper snake's neck, led the housekeeper snake to Qin Guo and said: "Princess, our housekeeper snake is very well-behaved and a female snake. There are many poisonous snakes and insects in our area."
, if there is no guard snake at home, it would be okay. You don’t know, if there is a guard snake at home, there will be a lot less flies and mosquitoes. If you touch it, it will say hello to you..."
"Wow." Qin Guo cried heartbreakingly...
The old patriarch looked outside worriedly, what if the princess didn't like guarding snakes?
Yun Zheng ate the freshly fried pancakes and said slowly: "Our daughter-in-law has to adapt to our family's environment. Qing Qing didn't adapt to it before, but didn't she get well afterwards? Don't worry, Qin Guo has been in the deep palace since he was a child.
When I grew up, I was a pampered person who didn't care about the world. Now that I'm older, I have to adapt to life outside. It'll be fine in a few days."
The old patriarch nodded and said: "Yun Er has grown up. It's time to drink black tiger wine. Your wife also wants to drink it. When the fifteenth month is full, I will invite the black tiger god out. After drinking the black tiger wine, you will have it."
With the blessing of the gods, the princess will become the wife of our village after drinking the black tiger wine, so she will no longer be afraid of house snakes.
How long can you stay here this time? Your family now has more people, and more land needs to be allocated. Now there are many fields on the sunny slopes of Beishan Mountain, and it is time to tend to the fields in the beginning of spring.
If you stay for a long time, divide the land. If you stay for a few days and then leave, don’t waste the effort.”
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "I came back this time with the emperor's orders. I led the army to garrison the Yuanshan Camp. I also planned to build a military camp in the Zonglong Gorge area. The garrison at Douchuan Pass is also under my jurisdiction. I estimate that at least
He stayed in Douchuan for three years."
The old patriarch breathed a sigh of relief obviously, and laughed and said: "That's good, that's good. I will allocate land for your family tomorrow. In the past few years, there have been many people leaving the village and few coming back. That bastard Xanthium
Dongxi took Mouse to Chengdu and left his wife here to take care of me. He thought I couldn’t see it?
He thinks his wife is stupid and unwilling to take her out. He married a younger one outside the home under the pretext of building a family business. I have already written to him and told him that if he dares to look down on his wife, I will kill him.
If the Chengdu government smashes his jars and jars, he will not have a good life."
At this point, he glanced at Yunzheng sideways and said, "Those who went out with you are all bastards, none of them are good."
Lu Qingqing smiled and said: "You should actually go to Chengdu Mansion. Uncle Xanthium has bought more than 300 acres of good fields in Chengdu Mansion, and there are also dozens of acres of mulberry fields. The newly built house is in Yun Mansion.
Next to it, there is a courtyard that is two feet wide. According to my wife, you should take Grandma Cang and Aunt Cang to live there and watch them face to face."
The old patriarch smiled desolately and said: "Silly boy, he just didn't want to listen to my nagging, so he went to a place so far away from Chengdu. Otherwise, he could have been a rich man in Dousha Village.
People are humble when they leave their hometown. I am used to drinking the mountain spring water here, so I still don’t want to go there. His wife can still live a good life if she stays with me. Otherwise, with the way she looks, she will just be a wasted person in the city.
The end of torment.
The old man who got married is a living example. He took his wife to Chengdu Mansion and came back within a few days. He yelled that his son was nothing, that he listened to that vixen in everything, and that he didn't live like a mountain man."
Yun Zheng frowned and said, "Cang Cheng dares to be unfilial to the old man?"
The old patriarch shook his head and said: "He is not so brave. That little wife dare not be disrespectful to the old man. The old man can't stand his son's virtue and has no backbone at all..."
After listening to the old clan leader and other clan elders talking all afternoon, seeing that the sun was about to set, the long street banquet was ready.
It is still the old rule. The Yun family eats from beginning to end, and gives gifts to each family after eating. Nowadays, it is no longer the time to eat glutinous vegetables in Dousha Village. The dishes prepared by each family are very rich, and the large porcelain bowls have also been replaced.
It became more exquisite porcelain.
Yun Zheng held his son in his arms and kept eating and drinking, saying thanks and greetings. The meal lasted until the moon was high, and everyone went back to their homes to sleep drunk.
Naturally, the Yun family ate too much, and even Qin Guo, who always had a small appetite, ate too much. He covered his mouth with a handkerchief and kept burping.
After drinking the hawthorn water that digested the accumulated food, the family sat on the big kang in the tile-roofed house and waited for the food to be digested before going to sleep. The three children had already fallen asleep. Lu Qingqing sighed and said: "The hardships have made you happy.
, my husband and my second uncle are really suffering."
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "That's not right. Is the Xungui family full of abuses? Haven't you seen it by now? Education is really important. The Xungui family occupies most of the educational resources, so look at those
A single child of a noble family is better than an ordinary child from a farm family. The reason why there is a saying that the children of noble families are simply because there are too few such children. That is why the world is surprised." (To be continued.)
