On the second day, Liu Yao still wore the added clothes to cry.

In the next few days, Liu Yao has been going out late and returning early, the shops in the county are closed, and the whole county is silent in a sad silence.

On the seventh day of the death of the Empress Dowager, the crown prince personally escorted the Empress Dowager Jiang to the imperial mausoleum for burial, and the atmosphere in Kyoto improved.

In March of the national mourning, it is forbidden to feast and drink. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, no one dared to violate the emperor's taboo, and the banquet that Du Xiaoxi had to go to was also canceled. Du Xiaoxi, who was completely idle, prepared everything to go out in the next few days.

After half a month, Liu Yao and Uncle went through the procedures for asking for a long leave in a low-key manner, notified the acquaintances, and the group went towards their own Liuyuan.

The hometown of the Liu family is not in Shanshui County, but in the old lady's father's generation, for the sake of the heirs, he crossed several prefectures and ran directly to Shanshui County, Qingzhou Prefecture.

The tree is divided into large branches, and the Liu family was originally a branch of the lineage, but because of the lack of heirs, there is no confidence to divide the sect. In order for the child not to be looked down upon, even if the relationship between the two sides is not good in the past few decades, it still maintains a superficial harmony.

The Liu family's home is in Weicheng Liuyuan, a place that must pass through to Beidi and Beichang Yunguo Fanxi.

In March in the Northland, the cold wind still cuts people's faces like knives.

The water in the river is still covered with thick ice, and the waterway is impassable, so you can only walk slowly along the official road.

Fortunately, there were many merchants who took the first batch of goods in the New Year along the way, and the Liu family found a good dart escort again, so they didn't have to worry about safety.

The land route was much slower than the water route, and it was already more than a month later when the group arrived in Weicheng.

Since ancient times, Weicheng has been known as a man who has been a man and a man, and is located on the Weihe Plain, the only passage at the junction of the Yuma Mountains and the Qifu Mountains. The northwest-trending Weihe Plain leads to the widest grasslands in the north, which used to be the territory of other countries.

Liuyuan is a medium-sized city under Weicheng, the capital of the Weihe Plain.

When the convoy entered the Weihe Plain, it met with the people sent by the family to greet them, and was led all the way to Liuyuan.

In early spring, the new willows spit green.

Liu Yao hugged his son to introduce Du Xiaoxi to the scenery outside the window, and the family of three was very proud at the window, one listened with relish, and the other didn't understand it at all.

"Our Liu family has been rooted in the willow garden for thousands of years, the reason why the surname is 'Liu' legend is that our ancestor is the Guanyin Bodhisattva in the hands of the jade bottle of boundless willow immortals."

Du Xiaoxi looked at Liu Yao with admiration on the surface, and the villain in his heart had already laughed off his big teeth.

Willow fairy!

It turns out that her father-in-law is not a human, but a little goblin with boundless power!

Du Xiaoxi just wants to say that the ancestors of our family will really put gold on their faces.

Other people's families are all related to what gods, what Buddhas, and the worst thing to mix is also the godson and daughter of the land public land-in-law at the entrance of the village! Our family has just found a branch as an ancestor!

Du Xiaoxi remembered the fresh willow branches he used to brush his teeth in the morning. A burst of heart congestion.

If she remembers correctly, now the experts are studying that Guanyin Bodhisattva is actually holding a willow branch and a tooth cup for brushing his teeth, but it has been rumored by the world to be a fairy weapon with boundless power.

So, the ancestor of his father-in-law was actually a toothbrush!

Toothbrush!

What should I do if my husband is a toothbrush? Wait online, it's a hurry!

Liu Yao didn't know the crazy swiping screen in his wife's heart, and still proudly explained the long history of Liu Yuan.

"The city is almost full of willow trees, and the most famous is the hundreds of thousand-year-old trees located on the shores of Liuxian Lake. These trees are the patron saints of the willow garden and the patron saints of the Liu family. It is famous in the Northland, and many people come all the way to pay homage to them, and the merchants who pass by the willow garden for the first time will definitely come to pay their respects.

The liuding tea picked from these trees in the spring of each year is also a tribute specified by the emperors of successive dynasties. Without the emperor's reward, ordinary nobles can't drink it! ”

Speaking of the thousand-year-old Liuding tea used by the royal family, Liu Yao was proud, but a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.

At home, Liu Erye and Liu Yao often drink Liuding tea, Du Xiaoxi's hometown did not produce tea in his previous life, and he did not have the habit of drinking tea, and he was not good in this life, and he almost never drank this mouthful. But I knew that it was a specialty of Liu Yao's hometown. Liuding tea is diuretic and has a lot of medicinal effects, and the aura blessing of these thousand-year-old willows is very popular.

Du Xiaoxi listened to the thousand-year-old Liuding tea, but subconsciously was afraid.

In a feudal royal society, the emperor's will is the greatest.

Anything of the highest grade naturally belongs to the emperor, and the same is true of these thousand-year-old willows of the Liu family.

However, the willow tree is a living creature and will die!

No one can predict which emperor will suddenly die when these willow trees will not be able to supply tea is a small problem, if it involves the rise and fall of the country, disaster warning. It was seen as a harbinger of disaster, or a dissatisfaction with the emperor's conduct. Involved with these, the Liu clan is likely to be angry with the emperor and disappear directly.

Du Xiaoxi is very fortunate now, the Liu family and his family are not deeply involved.

Liu Yao quickly recovered and said to Du Xiaoxi: "Every household in Liuyuan planted willow trees, waiting for the evening sunset to set on the west leading to the northland, the afterglow of the sunset was scattered on the willow branches floating in the wind, and the scenery would be particularly beautiful. It is known as 'the sunset of the willow garden' and is one of the top ten famous scenery in Weicheng. Let's take a look at it when we have time. ”

Xianggong sent out an invitation to make an appointment, and he couldn't be happier!

Liu Yao came to Liuyuan and can be counted in the slap, and he is also honored for the family's Guan Rong history. He had already seen the most beautiful sunset in the willow garden, and this time he wanted to share it with his family.

Liu Yao explained the places he knew all the way, Du Xiaoxi listened silently with a smile, and Xiaoxing sat in his father's arms and babbled at the things outside the window. The three of them glanced at each other from time to time, and the warmth was infinite.

"Young Master, Young Madam, Little Master has arrived!"

He Yang whispered outside the window, and then the carriage slowed down and stopped quickly.

The car door opened, Liu Yao got out of the car first, and then reached over to help Du Xiaoxi, who was holding the child, to come down. The two of them smiled together, and with a smiling face, they met with Mrs. Liu and the aunts and uncles in front of them.

The architectural style of Liuyuan is a bit like the Hui style buildings that Du Xiaoxi has seen on TV. There are several tall arches with exquisite carvings, and behind a few arches are the tall gatehouses and gates.

At this time, in front of the front torii stood old and young, and a group of people walked towards everyone with a smile.

The woman of about fifty years old, led by "Uncle and Grandmother Ankang", bowed respectfully to the old lady, and the men and women behind her bowed respectfully.

Old Madam Liu gave a cold sigh of kindness with a shelf, and then looked at the sleeping little star that Du Xiaoxi was holding, without the slightest intention of asking more.

Mrs. Liu stepped forward by mistake and said with a smile: "Don't come to your nephew and daughter-in-law, I haven't seen her for a few years and I am getting younger and younger." (To be continued.) )
