Chapter 331: Accept the Yang Family
Zheng Xiaowen saw that the family was neatly dressed and clean, not at all like a dusty and tattered escape......
Zheng Xiaowen was thinking about it, and she heard her father say, "Son, come and see your Uncle Yang, aunt, brother, and sister. ’
Zheng Xiaowen didn't know this period of this dynasty, as well as the etiquette of this place, she didn't know how to salute. I said in my heart: Anyway, I am a child, so it may be okay to be respectful. She got up and took two steps forward, looked at Yang Zhiye, bowed and said, "Hello Uncle Yang." She bowed to her again and said, 'Hello, Auntie.' ’
The aunt went out for the first time, and went to a strange place and a living person's house, at this time, the aunt calmed down, looked at Zheng Xiaowen carefully, and said: "Seeing this child look so good-looking and know etiquette, it is really very likeable." ’
The mother smiled and said, "I see how your son and your girl look, so that's good-looking, hehe." ’
The adults laughed, Zheng Xiaowen nodded to Yang Yishan and said, "Big brother is good." Yang Yishan smiled at Zheng Xiaowen and nodded. Zheng Xiaowen looked at Yang Yihua again and said, "Hello sister. Yang Yihua also nodded and smiled at Zheng Xiaowen.
When it was Zheng Xiaowen's turn to talk to Yang Yilin. Zheng Xiaowen looked at Yang Yilin, and couldn't help but be stunned: Ah, wow, isn't this the image of Yang Yilin's little boy, his name is also Yang Yilin, and his nickname is also Shijie, even if he looks alike, he can't even have the same name, what's going on?!
Then Yang Yilin looked at Zheng Xiaowen, and he was also in a daze: This boy, where have I seen him? Why am I so familiar with his appearance? Who is he?
Dad looked at the two children, they all looked at each other and didn't speak, and he guessed in his heart: Maybe the age is a little similar, and the son can't call his brother. He hurriedly said to Zheng Xiaowen: "Son, don't say that your brother Yilin is one year older than you, even if he is one month older than you, then you have to call him brother, hurry up and make a greeting gift." ’
Yang Yilin didn't wait for Zheng Xiaowen to give him a greeting gift, he quickly took two steps forward, took Zheng Xiaowen's hand and said, "Hello brother." After speaking, he hugged Zheng Xiaowen again.
This hug, because it was a child's affectionate gesture, the adults didn't think much about it, they were all happy and smiled.
At this time, my father stood up and said, 'Let's go, the east courtyard is a place for relatives to live.' The upper room and the west room in the east courtyard have ready-made beds and ready-made bedding, so let's go there and clean it up again. ’
Zheng Xiaowen followed the group of people to the East Courtyard, and she looked around: Oh, there are really no flowers and trees in this courtyard. I see that the layout of the courtyard houses in the east courtyard is similar to that of the west house, that is, in the middle of the street facing the house in this courtyard, there is a large pull door with a vaulted roof. Well, by the way, my mother said that there are livestock in this yard, and the livestock are the ones who pull the cart, maybe the livestock are in the street house.
When the two families entered the courtyard behind the east courtyard, my father first opened the door of the upper room and then the door of the west wing.
The Yang family's parents lived in the upper landlord's room, and their daughter Yang Yihua lived in the upper room. Yang Yishan and Yang Yilin lived in the West Wing.
The Zheng family's parents took the Yang family to see the east two into the house, and the Yang family was more familiar with the various places in the house, and the Zheng family returned to the west house.
Zheng Xiaowen heard his father tell his mother about the origin of the Yang family:
The Yang family is also a wealthy family in Dayang Village. Yang Zhiye and his brother Yang Jianye are very capable, and they are both responsible people, and the two brothers have not separated until now.
The handiwork of the Yang brothers is carpenter, and the workmanship is delicate and delicate, which is very convenient to sell. The finished furniture was brought to the city to be sold, and life was very stable, and the family still had some surplus.
That day, the Yang brothers discussed that they wanted to sell the cattle they had just bought and exchange them for mules.
Yang Zhiye got up early in the morning and drove his cattle to the city twenty miles away. Until noon, he did not fancy a mule. He had to use the money from the sale of cattle to buy mules, and he didn't fancy the mules he wanted to buy, and he didn't sell them into cattle, so he drove the cattle back home.
In the evening, when the Yang family was preparing to eat, a few people in official uniforms came in and asked, 'In the morning, did Yang Zhiye go to the city to sell cattle?'
Yang Zhiye thought to himself: Selling cattle for mules, selling is the same as exchanging, what's wrong with me selling cattle? He replied, 'Yes. ’
The man in the official uniform said, 'Do you still have cattle in your family?' After saying that, several people went to the Yang family's livestock house.
When they saw that there was a cow in the cattle pen, they were annoyed, and they all pointed at Yang Zhiye and shouted: 'Didn't your cattle be sold? Why is this cow still at home? To tell you the truth, someone went to the government to sue you! Said that you stole someone else's cattle in the village and sold them!'
Yang Zhiye hurriedly talked about the process of exchanging cattle for mules, but a group of people in official uniforms didn't listen at all, pulled Yang Zhiye, and said while tying up flowers: "Don't be wordy, when you get to the official mansion, see if you can make up any more lies, and go!" They took Yang Zhiye away like this. ’
To say that it is a coincidence, the Yang Wu family in this village really lost their cattle. Yang's family is far away from Yang Zhiye's house. The cattle of the Yang Five Family and the cattle of Yang Zhiye's family look very similar from the horns to the size of the cow, the height of the cow, the fat and thin.
Moreover, it has only been a few days since Yang Zhiye's cattle were bought, and the people in the village only know that he has a donkey at home, and it is not the farming season, so they don't care that his family bought cattle.
Before dawn, Yang Zhiye went to the city to sell cattle, and someone saw the cattle driven by Yang Zhiye on the way, which was the cattle of the Yang five families.
In the morning, Yang Wu found that his cattle had been seen, and he stood on the road shouting, who stole his cattle, hurry up and hand over the cattle!
At this time, someone came to Yang Wu and told him that Yang Zhiye was driving a scalper to the city for an unknown time, and also described what the scalper looked like.
When Yang Wuyi heard this, he recognized that Yang Zhiye was driving the cattle of his Yang five families, and gritted his teeth with anger and hatred: 'The people in his own village still steal the people in his own village, God will not tolerate it!'
Yang Wu went home and said to his family: 'Yang Zhiye and his brother Yang Jianye also have a good reputation in our village, I can forgive him, but I can only forgive him for an hour to make him repent. After more than an hour, if he doesn't bring me the oxen, I will go to the government and sue him!'
An hour passed, and Yang Wu saw no sign of his cattle, and he went to the city with a stomach full of anger. When he came to the cattle market in the city, he saw Yang Zhiye from a distance, and also saw 'his cow', and he was so angry that he said to himself: 'Yes, I can't recognize the cow I raise?
Yang Wu looked at his cow again, then at Yang Zhiye, and said in his heart:
Yang Zhiye's family is so rich, it turns out that they are all stealing from others and stealing wealth! I don't care if you Yang Zhiye steal others, you stole to my Yang Wu's house, my family has relatives working in the government, I usually haven't missed a word about this matter, if I say it, I will scare you Yang Zhiye to death!
A cow, a small half of the family business, you Yang Zhiye stole my cow, you are proud, you don't even think about how I Yang Wu lived! You are too hateful to do this, I will go to the government to sue you now, let you lose my cow money, and let the government repair you Yang Zhiye to prison!
Yang Wu was annoyed and hated, and went to the government to complain......
After Yang Zhiye was taken to the government, although he said that he was untied, he began to force him to sign and draw a detainment, so that he could admit to stealing cattle!
Yang Zhiye experienced suppression and inducement, saying that as long as he admitted to stealing cattle, he would be fine. But Yang Zhiye has always insisted that he sells his own cattle, and he is an upright man, and he will never do bad things in his life, let alone steal other people's things!
The government couldn't see that there was anything to ask, so they were in a hurry, so several big men went up and pressed Yang Zhiye, grabbed Yang Zhiye's hand, and pressed his fingerprints on the written confession.
When it was late at night, there was a person in the government who sympathized with Yang Zhiye and said to Yang Zhiye: 'You don't know me, I bought your furniture, I believe you are a good person, and I believe that you did not steal cattle. If you don't admit it, your life is at stake, understand?
Yang Zhiye thought to himself: This person is right, they have all taken my hand and pressed my fingerprints, what else can they not do? Run, run away quickly! Just follow what this person said, where to run away!
Yang Zhiye returned home overnight and told his family what had happened. He didn't dare to stay longer, so he took his bedding, clothes, and saved money, and his family of five fled out of the village in a panic, and ran all the way to inquire about where it was a good place to stay all year round.
The Yang family inquired about Zhengcun Town, so they walked all the way to Zhengcun Town, which is 500 miles away from Dayang Village, and walked and inquired about the direction of Zhengcun Town. In the end, I finally found Zhengcun Town. When I came to the village, I met Zheng Ximing, a kind-hearted person.
At that time in the evening, Zheng Ximing, Zheng Shouye's good friend, called Zheng Shouye to his home to discuss how to help the Yang family.
At Zheng Ximing's house, as soon as Zheng Shouye and Yang Zhiye met, they talked for a while, and both of them felt very close to each other. Zheng Shouye immediately decided to temporarily let Yang Zhiye's family live in the empty house in the east of the village, and then make plans in the future. In the past few days, Yang Zhiye's family has been allowed to live in the east courtyard temporarily, and when the house at the east end of the village is cleaned and cleaned up, they will move in.
Zheng Shouye finished talking about the ins and outs of the Yang family, and told him about his plans and decisions, Zheng Xiaowen saw that her mother didn't say anything more, so she went to sleep in Xili.
The next morning, Zheng Xiaowen got up and went to the yard, she looked here, looked there, and still felt very rare. She quietly walked through the middle house to the front yard, and saw that the front yard seemed to have just been cleaned, and the yard was very clean.
She stood at the Moon Gate and looked at the east courtyard, and saw that the east courtyard had also been cleaned. She saw Yang Zhiye and his eldest son putting brooms. The others, she didn't see, of course, she didn't see Yang Yilin in her heart.
Zheng Xiaowen thought about Yang Yilin, and he still thought in his heart: What Dad said is good, the Yang family is honest and diligent. At dawn, the people of their family could finish sweeping the ground of these two courtyards......
