Chapter 394: Unfast
Having said that, for a while, not to mention the blankness of Luo Ji's mind, even Wen Qi didn't know what to say except for thanking him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The two little brothers were stunned.
Sichuan pepper is also silent.
Even if he was still young at that time, the clues that Wen Qi firmly engraved in his heart were very detailed.
Even if four full years have passed, according to the letter of the lobby brother, the closer to the Yangtze River is all the way west, the less populated it is, and it is withered and decayed.
Even in the city of Jingkou, it is a depressed scene of tight clothing and food.
Speaking of the same mountains and rivers, thoroughfares, and even the geographical location of Jingkou is more superior than Chongtang, but there is no Chongtang Town at all to come to the court and the bustling scene of the city, can only barely be called the city to consolidate the people's peace.
Rao is the chief steward of the Fang family's department was both embarrassed and fortunate after inquiring, saying that it was the entire family in Jingkou, except for the three or five families who had survived, the rest of the family seemed to have changed blood from head to toe.
Many individual families have been greatly injured, and their families are struggling day by day, or they sell their fields and land to maintain their use, or they divide their families and lose their pawns to protect their cars, and they have fallen into decay.
If you want to recover, you won't be able to do it again in twenty or thirty years.
It can be seen that the area around Kyokou was indeed hit by a near-devastating natural disaster.
Although the Wen Qi family is not a very big family, to be honest, it has never been ranked in Beijing, but it is not from a very small family, and the clan power is quite strong in the local area.
According to the guess of peppercorns, a middle-class family should be determined.
It was when the lobby brother followed the plan to meet the local world friend, and the chief steward of the department led him to find the manager of the family, begged to go to the door, and told him the clan number of the Wen Qi family, and the people immediately said that they originally had such a number one family in Jingkou, the Wang family of Sanhuaitang.
Hurriedly invited the Qingke in the house, in fact, it was a helper with a serious errand name, and when people heard it, they didn't think about it, so they blurted out the clan location of the Wen Qi family, the family inheritance, and the name of the patriarch.
It is exactly in line with what Wen Qi said.
Kerao is a middle-class family, and it is still small and fragile in the face of natural disasters, like a drop in the ocean.
In his letter to Luo Ji Wenqi, Brother Lobby only told Wen Qi that he had not been able to find his family for the time being, but he had already entrusted this matter to the know-it-all Qingke, and he would help keep an eye on it.
Although he is a Qing guest, his character and ability should be passable, otherwise he will not be recruited by such a family.
And Brother Lobby has already discussed with the Qingke and left him the address of his home.
When the time comes, if there are clues, they will send a letter to the head of the family.
Only Brother Lobby wrote a total of seven or eight letters, among which he wrote a letter to Qin Lianbao, but he bluntly said that that that year, the Jingjiang River and the canal that broke the embankment in Jingkou poured into the city, and the city walls were destroyed six or seven out of ten, and tens of thousands of houses collapsed, and the people rushed to flee for their lives.
However, according to the approximate statistics of the Jingkou Prefecture after the fact, the number of dead men and women plus missing people in the entire Jingkou territory is about 30,000, and the number of families extinct is more than 800...... Among them, the people who were wiped out due to natural disasters may be far more than the Wen Qi family.
Of course, since Wen Qi survived with blessings, Sanhuaitang would not be considered a clan annihilation.
But because I know that the pearls of the Sanhuai Tang Wang family have survived, and the family property left by the Sanhuai Hall, including the ancestral house, shop, and field property, can be returned to the original owner.
Of course, this seemingly extremely common word "can" has many doorways in it, even if Wen Qi does not have any book deed.
As soon as Brother Lobby heard this, he knew it in his heart, not to mention that there was also the chief steward of the Fang family's department who explained it to him for the first time.
However, this is a major matter related to the clan, and Brother Lobby can't make the decision, not to mention that if he needs to pass the deed, he has to come and press his handprint in person, so he had to immediately send a letter to the head of the family to ask Wen Qi's opinion.
told Qin Lianbao about this incident again.
And after Qin Lianbao also got the letter, he didn't wait for him to read it and went to Luo Ji Wenqi, and the two of them had already brought peppercorns over first.
Qin Lianbao comforted Luo Jiwen and said: "Ji people have their own natural appearance, you two are relieved, there will be good news......"
Wen Qi found his home but did not find his family because of the detailed clues.
Brother Lobby also went to the ancestral house of Wen Qi's family to take a look, although it was dilapidated, but in the end, it was Wen Qi's home and his roots.
But it is also relative, because Luo Ji's clues are really vague, although Brother Lobby also asked the Qing guest to help him touch, but in the end, the countryside is not as good as the city, it is said that many villages outside Jingkou City were directly razed to the ground by the flood, and the people who moved fluently and left their hometowns are even more unknown.
Trying to find roots for Luo Ji is like looking for a needle in the sea, but it is not so easy.
In fact, such an answer is actually expected for Luo Ji Wenqi, who once had been displaced and had seen too many human tragedies.
But when they were able to snatch back two small lives in the hands of Lord Yama, why didn't they hope that a miracle would happen for that little thought.
And they all survived at the time, and now there is no reason why they can't survive.
Even if the news is not good, even if it is really sad in their hearts, both of them still nodded "yes".
Qin Lianbao patted the shoulders of the two of them when he saw it, and breathed a sigh of relief.
He also talked to Wen Qi about the family's property.
Even if Wen Qi is old, he still has no rules when he encounters such a big event.
said to Qin Lianbao: "Uncle, if the family property earned by the ancestors in several lifetimes, if it could, naturally there was no reason to watch the fall change hands, but I am too young now, and I don't have the ability to collect and keep this inheritance......"
Qin Lianbao didn't understand this truth, so he said: "Then let's see how much property we can keep, and if we can make up a few more deeds, if it works, then we will hurry to Jingkou and implement the matter first." ā
It's just that whether or not he can keep the industry in the future, Qin Lianbao doesn't dare to pack tickets.
But such a result was already an unexpected joy for Wen Qi, and he promised to help Qin Lianbao sharpen his ink.
Early the next morning, Qin Lianxiong personally sent another thick pile of letters to the Civil Information Bureau, asking them to send it out immediately.
Not to mention Luo Ji Wenqi, even Hua Jiao is thinking about sending this letter with his fingers, and when will the next letter come.
And the family is busy again, and it's time for the annual dividend.
It is not quite the same as the dividends of other people's annual accounts, and other people's families, whether they are people or businesses, have the habit of settling accounts in the month of the year.
However, because the Qin family could only harvest after the three years of Qin Baiqin, they simply followed the system of the old year and moved the dividends to the next year.
The little characters don't have much of a feeling.
Especially the little boys are not like the Huajiao sisters and the lobby brother who travels outside, the lobby brother can also attend, and the Huajiao sisters can also watch from the sidelines, but the second cousin has not participated from beginning to end, so naturally he doesn't know much.
And even if the pepper sisters are watching, they just take it as a matter to see the excitement, or sigh how high the four or five figures of silver have to be, and then there is no more, and even the pepper doesn't seem to have caught this tendon.
But Qin Lianhu's Yao brothers, especially the five Yao's Du brothers, are looking forward to it, and they are finally looking forward to this day.
Among them, Guo Shi also gave up.
After all, she has never experienced it, and although the Guo family is still living and eating together for four generations of grandchildren until now, the Guo shopkeeper was born as a servant of the Guo family, and later worked as a companion from the Guo family to the Fang family, and worked on the Eight Immortals Cabinet for a lifetime.
Although the amount is not large, Rao is Guo shopkeeper and his family are only a few hundred dollars a month, and it is the turn of a grandchild like Guo's to only have a hundred coppers.
But in the end, it's a thought, when she became sensible, she had been waiting with her fingers crossed her fingers since ten days and half a month ago.
After marrying into the Qin family from north to south, although the Guo family knew about the dividend from Qin Lianfeng and his sisters-in-law, he also knew the approximate amount.
Excited and excited, and thinking about buying land and property, but in the end I am used to such excitement.
But the Yao's and Du's concubines are not.
Among the four of them, Rao is Shen has also lived and eaten together in this house for more than ten years.
Living and eating together is simple to say, but even if the first days of the family are getting more and more hopeful, there is no need to worry about their livelihood, even if Qin's father and Qin Laoniang are still a bowl of water, but with the reproduction of more and more people in the family, irreconcilable contradictions are inevitable.
Let's not talk about it, let's just say that it starts from a piece of meat on the dinner table, to a piece of clothing on the body, to the oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, chicken, duck, and fish that are purchased daily, and then to the various festival gifts that go back to my parents' house during the New Year's Festival, and then to the table of dishes for giving birth to a child and full moon wine...... This stitch bit by bit, even if it is a copper, it is all from the public.
So there are four children in the big room, and three children in the second room, and the cost of food and clothing alone is more than that of the three rooms and four rooms.
What's more, Yao's Du family's maiden family is in Chongtang, and they have always been affectionate, compared to the Luo family, whose mother's family only has Grandma Yu's family, and the Shen family, whose mother's family is also twenty miles away, and only three festivals a year plus weddings and funerals can be taken care of, this kind of personal affection is much more.
If they want to turn over their small intestines, they will look down every day and don't look up, and they will even dry up all the time, just more and less, and they can't quarrel with each other.
Although the brothers and concubines of their generation, especially between their concubines, have never blushed, and there has always been only one way to get along with each other, and they have never made such a tongue, I don't know how much worry has been saved.
But until the old years, the head of the family divided the property, and each head of the house could be the master of the house and buy property behind closed doors.
It's delicious.
It's like Yao's.
Li Shiwei is a big family, Yao's cousins have many brothers and sisters, Rao is relatives have more than 20 rooms, because she didn't want to make the concubines feel uncomfortable, Rao is private money, she didn't dare to pay more, for fear that she couldn't tell.
After all, the number of times this is uncomfortable, and everyone's heart knot will gradually grow, and the affection will naturally fade.
Now that all the money is spent is their own money, how can the Yao family not breathe a sigh of relief.
And on Du Shi, she can make two more guest clothes for Qin Lianxiong, who often has to go out to socialize, as she likes.
On the Shen family, he discussed with Qin Lianlong, and took care of his brother and sister-in-law who lived in a rented house in Chongtang for the child.
As for Luo, he can also rest assured that Luo Ji Wenqi and even Fang Qingmai are by his side.
This will be an annual dividend again, how can I not be excited.
What's more, the weather in the old year rained first and then sunny, although the damage to rice was not light, but because the weather was sunny and warm after winter, it was not much hindering to the white celery, and it was another good year.
And because of the experiments of Sichuan pepper and his family, the yield of celery per mu has been raised to the 2,000 catties mark, and even the shelf life of the excellent rate of celery is also steadily improving.
If it is rested on the vegetables and vegetables on the side, even if it is the water eight immortals, it will not be able to withstand this bumper year after year.
can be rested on Bai Qin, but it has always been priceless and in short supply.
So much so that after careful consideration by Father Qin and the brothers of the Qin family, they transferred two copies of Qin Baiqin's brewing technology.
One is the old Fang family, and it is the thread drawn by Fang Liang. There is also an in-law of Li Inspector, a lobbyist who Qian Yunren helped to do.
Although they are all big deals, they are still dead contracts, but unlike the ten-year period agreed with Qian Yunren back then, Father Qin has only given a seven-year deadline now.
Others don't know why, but Fang Liang, Li Xunjian, Qian Yunren, as well as Guo Shopkeeper, and even Uncle Du and others who are close to the Qin family are faintly understanding.
So whether it is Qian Yunren or Guo Shopkeeper, although there are still seven years to go, they have already begun to lay out.
And the peppercorns were already comprehending Daddy Qin's intentions long before.
Just wait for the end of the family's account and dividends, and each room has taken the silver and is thinking about buying a field or shop, and the lobby brother has not yet received a letter, but there are uninvited guests to come to the door to recognize their relatives.
But it was Luo's colleague Huang who had met at Grandma Yu's house in Lianxi the year before and brought a bunch of people.
Among them was a small grandmother with a rugged and short body, her clothes hung on her body empty, and she looked like she could fall down when the wind blew, and a middle-aged woman supported her elbow on one side, which made her even more frail.
There was infinite eagerness hidden in the folds of his face, and his eyes were even more red.
As soon as he saw Luo and Huang greeting, he stumbled under his feet, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he broke free.
stepped forward and hugged Luo, his lips were pursed for a long time, but he still cried silently, and muttered "girl......
