Chapter 23 There is no difference between ancient and modern
After tears and venting his resentment, the old patriarch held Yun Zheng's hand and never let go...
After shouting, the authority of the patriarch was immediately revealed, and the people in the village quickly appeared at the entrance of the village.
The cripple man wore a not-so-fitting foreign uniform and said to Yun Zheng with a smile: "The patriarch said, if you don't come back this time, then you will come back when he dies."
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "Uncle Lame, am I back now? Do you want to marry another aunt for me in this new outfit?"
The stonemason laughed and scolded: "If a cripple is not a lame, it is necessary to go to heaven. Since he has a few bad money, he has learned to drink and listen to music from the people in the city. If he doesn't go to Xinghualou for a month, he will feel uncomfortable. He will leave all the work at home to his wife and he will not do anything with his hands..."
Yun Zheng, Lu Qingying and Yun Erquan were dragged to his house by the old patriarch, and the rest began to settle their belongings. This time, there were a lot of things brought back from Tokyo and Chengdu. Seeing countless boxes entering the house, the old patriarch was very happy. This was the attitude of preparing to live for a long time.
There is a fire pit in the brick and tile house, which is a very strange thing. The beams of the house have been smoked into bronze by fireworks, and it is impossible to tell that this is a newly built house.
It’s still the same habit. There are seven or eight strings of bacon hanging above the fire pit. As long as there is fire in the fire pit, the house will be filled with the fragrance of bacon.
The wooden floor was polished to a shiny greasy place. I took off my shoes and sat on it. After a while, a trace of warmth came, and there was a ground dragon under the floor.
"Since I heard 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 a day, you didn't come back, and after watching for two days, you didn't come back. After watching for ten days, the old patriarch got angry..."
The old patriarch smiled and looked at the people in the room. He asked them to sit down, clamp a pottery bowl with his legs, grab a handful of green tea and put it into the bowl, hold a half-meter long stick, pound it frequently and rotate it. While beating, he kept adding some sesame seeds, peanut kernels, herbs, yellow flowers, fragrant leaves, and vines to the bowl. After the things in the bowl were pounded into pieces, the tea was ready. Then, use a handful of scooping the tea, sifting it into a copper pot, adding water to boil it, and the fragrance filled the hall.
Yun Zheng likes to drink the lei tea made by the old patriarch the most. Drinking a bowl is not enough. When the old patriarch saw Yun Zheng happily drink a big bowl and continued to ask for it, his wrinkled face smiled. As for whether Lu Qingying and the others like to drink it, he didn't care.
Yun Er also likes to drink. When he proudly told the old patriarch that he was a student of the Imperial College, or an official who would be a prisoner, and finally married the princess, no one paid attention to Yun Zheng, such a ragged marquis and a useless general, no one paid attention to him. Where is Yun Erli who married the princess?
The men were all asking what the royal princess was like, how big was the scene of the royal wedding? The women rushed out to see if the royal princess was really like a fairy, and whether she was wearing clothes made of gold silk...
Qin State is very beautiful. The clothes are also worn very gorgeously, but sitting on the ground, shaking and crying, ruining all the beauty.
Ge Qiuyan was wrapped around a colorful python as thick as an arm. The boss was opening his mouth and spitting out a letter as if he was about to bite Ge Qiuyan.
Ge Qiuyan stood there helplessly, letting the damn watcher snake swim around on his body intimately. Seeing that he was frightened by Qin, he then tore the beast off his body and kicked it and asked it to get out quickly.
Yun Sanbo barked and helped Qin State scold the snake. As a result, he was photographed by someone with his tail.
"Look at the snake?" Qin State finally stopped crying.
"Yes, there are many mice in the house. If there is no snake in the house, the mice can bring all their clothes and food to harm them all in one night."
"Rat?" Qin screamed and hugged Ge Qiuyan tightly without letting go.
The women in the village fully witnessed the spoiledness of the royal princess. Several women of the same age called out loud, and immediately many snakes swam out of the houses they were stationed in, the largest one was more than ten feet long.
Qin was scared and no longer cried. He screamed and rushed into the old patriarch's house. Regardless of whether there were people in the house, he hugged Yun Er and cried loudly.
The old patriarch's black face suddenly became darker. He stood at the window and scolded a few times. The girls who picked the mulberry and laughed and went to help the Yun family get things.
"The snake of the house will not hurt people. I have never heard of anyone who hurts people. Unless you are extremely hungry, you will steal a chicken or two..."
Yun Er, Qin State, who was climbing on himself like a koala, came out of the house, constantly comforted her, and pointed to the bacon that was teaching the snake to watch the house and then said to Qin State: "Don't you know? The summer here is very hot. When I was a child, I liked to sleep with the snake to hold the snake to sleep the most. It was chilly and more effective than Mrs. Zhu."
It is natural for girls to be afraid of snakes. Yun Er could see how honest the snake was, but Qin naturally thought that this thing was very evil.
The bacon tied a ribbon around the neck of the snake's house, and led the snake to Qin and said, "Princess, our snake is very obedient, it is still a female snake. There are many snakes and insects in our area. If there is no snake at home, it would be better. You don't know that there are snakes at home, and there will be fewer flies and mosquitoes. Touch and see, it is greeting you..."
"Wow." Qin State cried heartbrokenly...
The old patriarch looked outside worriedly. What if the princess doesn't like watching the house snake?
Yun Zheng said slowly while eating the newly fried oil cakes: "Our wife always needs to adapt to our environment. She didn't adapt to the light before, but didn't she be fine later? You don't have to care. Qin State grew up in the deep palace and was spoiled by the world. Now she is older, she always needs to adapt to life outside. It will be better in a few days."
The old patriarch nodded and said, "Yun Er has grown up and it's time to drink Black Tiger Wine. Your wife also needs to drink it. When the fifteenth month is full, I invite the Black Tiger God out. After drinking Black Tiger Wine, I will be blessed by the gods. After drinking Black Tiger Wine, the princess will be the wife of our village. She will not be afraid of watching the snake.
How long can you live here this time? Your family has more population and more land. Now there are so many fields on the sunny slopes of the North Mountain, so you will have to take care of the fields in spring.
If you live for a long time, you will divide the fields. If you live for a few days and leave, you won’t have to work hard.”
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "This time I came back, I actually received the emperor's order, led my army to guard Yuanshan Camp, and planned to build a military camp in the area of the Steamed Gorge. The garrison of Dousha Pass is also under my jurisdiction. I estimate that I will stay in Dousha Pass for at least three years."
The old patriarch was obviously relieved and laughed: "That's good, that's good. I will divide the land for your house tomorrow. In recent years, there have been many people going out of the village and few people coming back. This bastard, Cang Er, took the mouse to Chengdu Mansion and left his wife here to take care of me. He thought I couldn't see it?
He disliked his wife's stupidity and was unwilling to take it out. He married a young man outside on the excuse of seeking family business for his family. I had already sent a letter to tell him that if he dared to look down on his first wife, he would kill him to Chengdu Prefecture and smash his jars and jars, and he would not have a good life."
Speaking of this, he glanced at Yun Zheng with his eyes squinted and said, "The few people who went out with you are all bastards, none of them are good."
Lu Qingying smiled and said, "You should actually go to Chengdu Prefecture. Uncle Cang'er has already purchased more than 300 acres of good land in Chengdu Prefecture, and there are dozens of acres of mulberry fields. The newly built house is right next to Yun Prefecture, with a full yard of two. According to the wife, you should take Grandma Cang and Aunt Cang to live there and watch it in person."
The old patriarch smiled desolately and said, "Silly child, I just don't want to listen to my nagging, so I went to such a faraway place in Chengdu Prefecture. Otherwise, he could also be his rich man in Dousha Village.
People are a shameful person. I am used to drinking the mountain spring water here, but I still don’t go there anymore. His wife will have a good life to stay by my side. Otherwise, as long as she looks, going to the city will only end up being tortured.
The old man and his family are a living example. He took his wife to Chengdu Prefecture and came back a few days later. He scolded his son for not being a guy and listened to everything from that vixen. He didn't live like a mountain man at all."
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 as brave as this dog, and that young wife dares not disrespect Cang Laocheng. Cang Laocheng just doesn't stand his son's virtue and has no backbone at all..."
I heard the old patriarch and the other patriarchs chatter for an afternoon. As the sun was about to set, the long street banquet was ready.
It is still the same rule. People from the Yun family eat from beginning to end, and they will give gifts to each other. Nowadays, Doushazhai is no longer the time to eat braised vegetables. The dishes prepared by each family are very rich, and the large coarse porcelain bowls have been replaced with more exquisite porcelain.
Yun Zheng held his son and kept eating, thanking, and greetings. The meal was ate in the moonlight, and then everyone went back to their home to sleep drunk.
The Yun family naturally ate too much, and even Qin, which had always had a very small appetite, burped too much, and the handkerchief covered his mouth and kept burping.
After drinking the hawthorn water that digested food, the family sat on the big kang in the tiled house waiting for the food to digest and then went to sleep. The three children were already asleep. Lu Qingying sighed and said, "It's hardships and hardships that will make you successful. My husband and second uncle have really endured hardships."
Yun Zheng smiled and said, "This is wrong. Are there all the bad guys in the noble family? Haven't you seen it yet? Education is really important. The noble family occupies most of the educational resources. So look at the children of the noble family. One of them is better than the ordinary peasant children. The reason why there are rich children is purely because there are too few such children. This surprises the world." (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better and faster!
