Chapter 229
After the New Year's Festival, the preparations for the promotion of the Yang family in the sixth room are almost done.
In the first month, Yang Wang and Xiuhong prepared the sacrifice of Yang's six rooms together to worship the ancestors.
After that, it was to prepare for Yang's Yunzhu to get married.
Jiang Chengzi was not idle during this period. First of all, he read all the daily records of salt mines, greenhouse cultivation, tea planting and production, etc., and studied and discussed these records with Yao Ziqiu, and wrote experience records.
"You can rest assured that you will go to Chang'an, and I will assist Ye Anping here. Yao Ziqiu said. He is a candidate for the Gewu Academy, but before the official approval has come down, he will stay in Shuzhong for a period of time and continue to be responsible for the work of Shuzhong.
"Hmm. Jiang Chengzi replied softly, couldn't help but look at the willow trees with new sprouts outside the window, and said to himself, "It's been a year." ”
Yes, on the spring day of last year, she fell off the cliff in Shennongjia, thinking that she was broken bones, but when she opened her eyes, she was in time and space more than a thousand years ago and became Yang Minzhi.
Rain arrows and wind knives, dangers are lurking, and before you know it, it has been a year.
"What?" Yao Ziqiu didn't hear clearly.
Jiang Chengzi shook his head and said with a smile: "I just sighed, but it's been a year since I got here." ”
"It's been a year. Yao Ziqiu also looked at the willow tree outside the window, remembering the scene of the first meeting with her in March last year, and couldn't help but smile.
Before he met her, he never thought that there was another person in this world who could understand his feelings and like what he liked. He never imagined that there would be someone who would make him feel that he was not alone in this world.
Well, what does it feel like to meet her?
He had asked himself countless times. Later, he thought: It's probably a foreign country.
"yes. It's been a year. Jiang Chengzi squinted slightly, the willow tree with new sprouts was a high wall of blue bricks and gray tiles, and outside the high wall was a clear sky, which was very beautiful.
Even if it's a year, even if you really see Li Ke, who was obsessed in your previous life, fall in love with her. She still suddenly felt that this was a dream, like a sweet dream when she was five years old, curled up and asleep alone in the flower garden behind kindergarten.
At that time, she sat alone in the flower garden and had a beautiful dream, in which her parents led her to stand on the top of the mountain, and at the foot of the mountain were rolling mountain flowers.
Later, when she woke up, the daylight was just right, and she sat in the flower garden and shook her mind, feeling that she was dreaming now.
Now, she's just how she felt back then.
It's like, it's a dream, or maybe a past life was a dream.
"Ah Zhi, actually, do you know? That day, I saw you for the first time-" Yao Ziqiu remembered that day, a little excited, and wanted to say something, but when he said this, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he stopped talking.
He always remembered meeting her vividly.
In the past, he was only interested in plants, seeing them grow, flower, bear fruit, wither, and feel the cycle of life. He thought it was the most wonderful thing.
But when he met her, he suddenly everything in the world became wonderful, even the family business, kung fu, and deceit that he hated before, he felt that each had its own merits.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Chengzi came back to his senses and asked Yao Ziqiu.
Yao Ziqiu lowered his eyes, pointed his good-looking fingers on the window lattice, and knocked a few times before whispering: "When I first saw you, I inexplicably thought of 'meeting my old acquaintance in a foreign country'." I thought, "That's how it feels." ”
"Acquaintances in other places?" Jiang Chengzi was very surprised.
Yao Ziqiu looked at her and said with a smile: "You don't want to laugh at me, just seeing you, I think I have seen this girl." ”
"This shows that my zygote brother Qiu's eyes edge. Jiang Chengzi grinned.
Yao Ziqiu just smiled, agreeing with her statement. But in his heart, he felt that it was not tightly in his eyes, to be precise, she had a bright brilliance and sun-like warmth, which swept away the loneliness and loneliness in his world.
Now, he felt that all the joys and sorrows he had been missing had returned.
What used to be a lack of interest is now something that I am interested in doing.
But he also knew he couldn't say much.
Now, that's all right.
Jiang Chengzi also smiled, like a bright flower blooming in the sun.
Yao Ziqiu squinted slightly, only feeling that the girl in front of him had a dazzling brilliance.
"Ah Zhi, don't worry, I will definitely guard this Shuzhong. He said this unconsciously, and his tone was more determined and solemn than before.
Jiang Chengzi also heard the solemnity from the words, so he smiled and said calmly: "Brother Ziqiu, don't be too nervous, your talent is more than enough to be in charge, not to mention Ye Anping as your right and left hand." ”
"Hmm. He nodded, feeling that he had gone too far.
"Besides, Shuzhong is not your battlefield. You are one of the producers of the 'Shennong Project' and the first batch of builders of the 'Gewu Academy', and when my father takes office, the emperor's approval will be here. When the time comes, you will have to go to Chang'an to join us. Jiang Chengzi said.
"I won't think about Chang'an's affairs for the time being. I will guard this Shu for you on this day. Yao Ziqiu said again. The tone was calm, but a pair of hands were sweaty in the sleeves.
He knew that he shouldn't be so rude and say such inappropriate words to make Ah Zhi uncomfortable, but he just couldn't control himself, he was afraid that if he didn't say it today, he wouldn't have any chance in the future, and he wouldn't have any courage to say it.
Jiang Chengzi had long sensed that the atmosphere of this conversation was wrong, so he quickly changed the topic and said, "By the way, the day before yesterday, I received a letter from the King of Shu, in which I mentioned that I had found your eldest brother. ”
"Really?" Yao Ziqiu was very surprised when he heard the news.
Although he doesn't have much friendship with his eldest brother, over the years, his parents have been haggard in order to find his eldest brother, and his sister-in-law is also **** anxious, and even washes her face with tears. He saw his relatives like this, and he searched for them, but to no avail.
Over the years, he thinks that his eldest brother may be deceased, but he still hopes that his eldest brother will come back and have a happy family. Of course, if the eldest brother comes back, he doesn't have to pick up the burden of Dusk Cloud Villa, he can be at ease, and only be accompanied by flowers and plants.
Now when I hear that my eldest brother is alive, I am really surprised.
"Really. The king of Shu said that Wang Shichong's army was defeated that day, and most of the soldiers would be captured. His Majesty granted amnesty and waived the death penalty at that time. Those who returned to obedience were incorporated into the army, and those who did not return to obedience were imprisoned and forced into labor. Your eldest brother is obsessed and is now imprisoned in Runan Prison. Jiang Chengzi replied.
"But, it is possible to be saved?" asked Yao Ziqiu.
The king of Shu also said that the people who were detained over there were all the old departments of the rebellious party, and they were people who resisted stubbornly, and the meaning of the court was to die as a servant. However, if he can take the initiative to surrender, what merit can be pardoned. Jiang Chengzi explained.
When Yao Ziqiu heard this, he was also gloomy, shook his head, and said, "Big brother has always been stubborn and admits death. If you want to be obedient, you will be obedient early, so why wait until today. ”
"Don't worry about this. The King of Shu will try to rescue you, after all, this is what Ah Nian promised you on behalf of the King of Shu that day, and it is also a reward for standing in line with Dusk Cloud Villa that day. Jiang Chengzi comforted again.
"That's all there is to it. The king of Shu is a true gentleman who promises his word, and if he says that he will rescue, he will definitely do his best. If I can save my eldest brother, the top and bottom of Duyun Villa will definitely be the head of the king of Shu. Yao Ziqiu said.
When Jiang Chengzi heard this, his face sank, and he said, "Brother Ziqiu is also overexcited to say such things. What the King of Shu did was all for the imperial court. If your eldest brother is saved, Dusk Cloud Villa will be in business for many generations, and this north-south water and land route will have to work for the benefit of the imperial court. You just spoke like that, and what will people think when they hear it?"
"Ah Zhi, don't be annoyed, it's Ziqiu's gaffe. He panicked and apologized repeatedly.
Jiang Chengzi waved his hand and said, "I know that Brother Ziqiu is not such a person, but now, we have countless enemies. It is still necessary to be cautious in what you say and do. ”
"Ah Zhi, don't worry, today's mistake will not be made again. He assured.
Jiang Chengzi felt that the atmosphere of this conversation was too solemn, so he shook his head and said, "Who do I care about, I won't care about Brother Ziqiu." Okay, don't talk about this again, just wait for the good news of the King of Shu. ”
"Hmm. He nodded.
Jiang Chengzi jumped out of the window and turned around to greet him: "Brother Ziqiu, the daylight is just right today, everything is recovering, let's go out for a walk, take a look at the wild vegetables and weeds, and see if we can find surprises." ”
"Good. I went back and changed my clothes. Yao Ziqiu said.
Jiang Chengzi looked at his wide robe and long sleeves, like a son, it's okay to go out, if you are looking for usable plants, you have to carry a basket on your back and take a sickle and shovel, which is really not suitable.
"Okay, I'll wait for you. Jiang Chengzi hid his face and smiled.
Yao Ziqiu looked at the immature girl, hid her face to eat and laugh, only shook her head helplessly, and quickly went back to the house to change her clothes.
After the New Year, in the first month, worship ancestors, go to relatives, and drink feasts.
After the lanterns, the New Year is over.
As soon as the New Year is over, everything recovers, the swallows fly, the farmers are busy with the Spring Festival, and after the sacrifice to the land lord, they will start to be busy with farming.
Yang's sixth room is to prepare for Yang Yunzhu's marriage, and the lights are in full swing.
Jiang Chengzi and Yao Ziqiu looked around for suitable plants, digging and searching, but they didn't have much to gain. It's just that there are always delicious wild vegetables on the table every day.
As for the six-room house of the Yang family, because it was well repaired, it was added to a large scale. Now, the Yang family has been promoted to the sixth room, and he wants to move his family to Chang'an to take office. Many people came to ask if the house was for sale.
The Yang couple had also struggled with this issue before, and were finally persuaded by Yang Qingrang.
Yang Qingrang thought that the six houses of the Yang family started from here, so this place should be kept. Moreover, when I returned to Chang'an, there was no shortage of such a few pieces of money. Moreover, there are many kinds of plants in Shu, and in the future, Gewuyuan may set foot in Shuzhong many times, and it is always better to have this house.
"Then who will take care of it? Yunzhu is married to another woman, which is really inappropriate. Yang Wang was also worried.
"Mama Zhou's family stayed here to take care of it, and bought a field and a village nearby, and Mama Zhou's family managed it well, repaired it, and didn't go hungry. Yang Shuyue said.
When Yang Wang heard this, he also nodded and said, "Mama Zhou's family followed the master to be angry in the ancestral house, and they were frightened for so long, Chang'an is deep, and it is really not suitable to take them." ”
"Yes, I don't know if the future is bad or lucky, Mama Zhou is also old, and it's really not good to toss back and forth like this. Yang Shuyue also sighed.
"Then wait for this time to go home to worship the ancestors, and ask the old lady for favors, so that Mama Zhou's youngest son, daughter-in-law and grandson will be merged into Shuzhong, and the family will reunite and settle here. Yang Qingrang suggested.
Yang Wang nodded straight and said, "My son is very thoughtful, Abi, you go and call Mama Zhou." ”
After a while, Mama Zhou came, and when she heard about it, she shook her head and didn't agree, asking Yang Wang if she disliked her for being old, or if she didn't trust their family.
"Mama Zhou, there's nothing. You've worked all your life and feared for me. ”
"Good. I went back and changed my clothes. Yao Ziqiu said.
Jiang Chengzi looked at his wide robe and long sleeves, like a son, it's okay to go out, if you are looking for usable plants, you have to carry a basket on your back and take a sickle and shovel, which is really not suitable.
