Chapter 111
Although Yingliu Village is the hometown of the first emperor and the queen mother, due to the early days of the first emperor's throne, the Great Jin Dynasty was not stable, in order to prevent people from making trouble, the news of Yingliu Village was concealed.
No one knew that the first emperor and the queen mother were the sons of the widow in the village and the daughter of Xiucai who married from other places.
But the people in the village remember a lot about Mr. Yuan, partly because the students who taught in the village have all grown up, and even after decades, they still have a vague impression.
Part of the reason is that the first emperor and the empress dowager provided financial assistance to the village in the name of Mr. Yuan.
The first emperor and the queen mother were inconvenient to show up, and Mr. Yuan, the person who came out of Yingliu Village with them, became the best excuse, almost every year, someone from the Yuan family would come back to worship their ancestors, and every time, the gift to the clan was the most suitable.
It is a sacrificial field, or a letter of introduction from a seowon, or advanced farming tools and weaving, or the most suitable seeds.
It is also for this reason that although no one knows that Yingliu Village is the hometown of the first emperor, this small and even somewhat poor village at the beginning has still become a well-known rich village, and even the county and even the prefecture are not as good as Yingliu Village in some aspects.
Of course, this also depends on the fact that the generations of village chiefs of Yingliu Village are all understanding people, poor and hide wealth, rich and benefit people, when the wealth is not exposed, in peacetime those sacrificial fields and good seeds are not mentioned for the time being, those agricultural tools and weaving tools are dedicated to Yingliu Village to the county and even the prefecture to be manufactured in batches, so that more people can benefit.
Under this kind of management, let alone wanting to bully, as long as you say that you are from Yingliu Village outside, anyone has to give some face, plant good causes, and get good results, that's it.
So when he came here, Mr. Yuan was not worried, he just missed the big willow tree at the head of the village, and the nest of swallows on the willow tree that came from spring to autumn.
Although Mr. Yuan's whereabouts were not hidden, there was no intention of revealing them, and the group of an old man, four teenagers and girls, and the accompanying servants quietly entered Yingliu Village.
It wasn't until the lock of the Yuan family's mansion in the village was quietly opened, and the sound of the servants cleaning was heard outside, that the people of Yingliu Village suddenly realized that Lord Yuan was back!
Although he was born in Yingliu Village, he often brought gifts to the people of Yingliu Village, but when Yuan returned to his hometown, there were very few, one is because Yuan has no relatives in the village, and the reason why he came to Yingliu Village as a teacher is because of the famine in the last dynasty, and he fled to Yingliu Village and was saved by the villagers who gave him a bowl of tea porridge and saved his life, so he planned to stay.
The second is also because in Kyoto, there are things that are more beneficial to the country to do, and he wants to do more for the Great Jin than to return to his hometown from a long distance.
It's just that although Lord Yuan is not in the village, there are legends about him in the village!
In this legend, Lord Yuan is not only a big official in the capital for the country and the people, but also a good man of the tenth generation who is the reincarnation of the Buddha.
If you have the opportunity to go to the capital in the future, you must repay Lord Yuan, and even now, there are people in the village who spend a lot of money every year, and send some things from the village to the capital, maybe not worth anything, but they are guaranteed to be the freshest and most seasonal things, mountain delicacies and game, everything.
So when they heard the news at first glance, the people in the village didn't believe it, "Are you really from Lord Yuan's family?"
When the servant heard this, he said, "The eldest of our family is indeed surnamed Yuan, and this is his former residence. โ
Hearing this, the villagers immediately boiled, "It's really Lord Yuan who is back! Go to the village chief and say that Lord Yuan has returned to his hometown!"
The surprise of the villagers is not mentioned for the time being, after a night of repairing, Xiao Xing and they have already gotten up, Lord Yuan because of his age, sleep less, even more get up early to practice calligraphy, until several teenagers have woken up, then ordered the servants to eat.
The servant also reported the movements of the villagers outside, Lord Yuan smiled and didn't say anything, although he gave a lot of villagers, but most of the heads were taken by the first emperor and the queen mother, and what he took was only a small part compared to the first emperor and the queen mother, such as the invitation letter of the academy and the latest books, which he gave.
It's just that Lord Yuan doesn't care, but the villagers can't help but care!
So just after breakfast, I heard the news that the villagers had visited, and several clan elders and village chiefs came over, and the moment they saw Lord Yuan, the village chief and clan elders bowed and expressed their gratitude.
Lord Yuan looked at the clan elders who were older than himself, and hurriedly helped them up, but the clan elders refused to get up, "Back then, if it wasn't for the food you sent back, we would have died in the โกโก that year, let alone have a wife and children, I have โกโก grandchildren now, thanks to you, my lord!"
"My grandfather also often said that the most correct thing to do back then was to give you a bowl of rice, and you returned it to us, not to mention a bowl of rice?
"Lord Yuan, over the years, we have not failed your cultivation in Yingliu Village, just Xiucai, there are already more than a dozen, and a few people, a few years ago, there was a Jinshi, I heard that you helped find a vacancy, thank you, thank you!"
"If he hadn't come out on his own, I wouldn't have been able to help him. โ
Of course, Lord Yuan has an impression of this Jinshi, after all, he is a villager, and he has a good talent, a good heart, an upright temperament and no lack of tactfulness, he is a good material for being an official, so he naturally helps.
"No, no, no, thanks to you. โ
The villagers greeted Lord Yuan, and a few Xiao Xing listened on the side, occasionally filling in some tea, after the greetings, the villagers naturally noticed Xiao Xing, just looking at these little boys and girls, the villagers were misunderstood.
"Lord Yuan, these are your grandchildren, they are really handsome, and they look like dragons and phoenixes among people. โ
Several teenagers and girls who suddenly changed their identities were all smiling and silent, and Lord Yuan said helplessly, "No, these are all students, I just took them out to see the world, not grandchildren." โ
The villagers were a little disappointed, because Lord Yuan returned to his hometown very little, they never knew the situation of Lord Yuan, they lived happily, and naturally hoped that Lord Yuan would be happy.
I just didn't expect it...... It may be true.
The villagers didn't want to make Lord Yuan sad when they mentioned this issue, so they had to change the subject, "Anyway, I didn't expect some villagers to come back recently, not only Lord Yuan, do you remember the widow's son back then?
"Yes, yes, although I haven't seen him for decades, his grandson looks almost exactly like him, and I recognize it at a glance. โ
"And the dog doesn't know how, but his grandson is very promising, and at first glance he is different from us, like a big man. โ
"No, two days ago, the people in the east of the village were still thinking about their land, but in the end, as soon as the dog grandson went out, he didn't even open the scabbard, and the east of the village ran away. โ
"That's it, although the dog didn't come back, but the house of the dog egg family is still repaired by someone every year, and their family still wants to rely on the dog egg's land, hum!"
The villagers are talking word by word, but Lord Yuan's originally gentle expression is a little frozen.
Dog's ......
Others don't know who the dog is, doesn't he know yet?
Dog, isn't it the nickname of the first emperor?
And the dog egg grandson...... Think about the dozen or so princes today, Xiao Qi is by his side, most of the others are in Kyoto, and when they go out, they look like the first emperor, who else is there besides the prince?
I didn't expect the crown prince to come here! I don't know if the emperor told him or the queen mother told him.
The prince sat in the repaired room, grinding ink, unfolding rice paper and began to write letters.
As for who it is written to, of course it is the Queen Mother!
Before he left, the imperial grandmother told him, "Little Er, the imperial grandmother is a little homesick, you show grandma that the willow tree at the head of the village is still there, and the swallow has not returned, I saw your imperial grandfather at the entrance of the village." โ
The prince's heart was a little sour, and the sour feeling was suppressed by the sadness of his grandmother calling Xiao Er, you know, he was obviously ranked third.
But because of his grandmother's orders, the prince traveled thousands of miles and still came to this place that was not on the route.
Then he opened the rice paper and prepared to depict this thriving village.
Think of it as a gift for grandma when you go out once.
