Chapter 247: Arriving at a new home

When the carriage passed through the county town, the four children had already been shaken to sleep, and it didn't matter if they were immortal, and the others, including several aunts, looked at the walls of the county town and wept one by one.

Changsheng understood that they must have remembered that the former life of a group of slaves and maids in brocade clothes and jade was gone, that the jewelry and belongings they had worked so hard to save were taken away, and that their gorgeous and comfortable house, exquisite utensils, and beautiful brocade clothes were gone, and they must have felt very sad in their hearts.

Not only them, but also an outsider, thinking of the years spent in Jinshu Courtyard, thinking of Zihu, Sister Winnie and Coke who don't know where they fell and whether they were destined to meet again, thinking of the flowers and trees in the courtyard, thinking of the relics that left the breath of their sister, thinking that these things may have been looted and destroyed, and I felt very uncomfortable, but I just endured it and didn't cry.

The car is getting farther away from the city, and the road is no longer a relatively flat official road, the closer to the mountain where the ancestral tomb is located, the more difficult it is to walk, fortunately, there is no rain, the potholes and uneven roads still make everyone suffer, Changsheng was shaken so that the internal organs are about to come out, when it was just dark, finally arrived at the place, Changsheng got out of the car, and was already dizzy and could not distinguish between east and west and north and south.

A mile further is the ancestral tomb of the Xie family, the house in front of me is built by Mingche this spring in the name of convenient rest during the future sacrifice, although it is simple and unpretentious from the outside, but it is neat and solid, and there is a plaque on it, which says "Sigui Yuan" is very similar to a place to rest and temporarily live during the sacrifice, not a small farm yard in the imagination of Changsheng, with clear thoughtfulness, both have this plan, the facilities inside should be complete, at least live in it will not suffer, everyone is secretly relieved.

The slave of the Pei family who came to see him off was a capable person, he lit the torches that had been prepared earlier, asked everyone to get out of the car and trim them a little, and went forward to knock on the closed door by himself.

Soon there were several vicious dog barks inside, and a middle-aged man scolded loudly: "Get out! I don't care about you! Come back later, I'll let the dog bite you! ”

Everyone looked at each other, the old lady frowned tightly, the Pei family stepped forward and knocked again, and heard clearly that a woman stopped the man's urge to scold, and said kindly: "Big brother, go away, this house and land are not ours, we are just looking at the house for others, we can't sell it, we have to wait for the master to come back to live, you go quickly, don't say anything about the Xie family in the future, if you can't survive, listen to the people, how old are those young ladies?" Don't be too desperate to be a man, be careful of heavenly retribution! Let's go, be careful that the master really lets the dog bite you! ”

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the dark clouds in their hearts were swept away, it seems that these are two loyal servants, probably in the past few days, someone has seen that the Xie family is unlucky, and wants to buy the land and house around the ancestral grave of the Xie family at a low price, but these two loyal servants do not agree, and threaten to let the dog bite people, the people who are clearly arranged are really good, with them, it will not be too bitter in the future.

The house slaves of the Pei family no longer knocked on the door, but said loudly through the door: "Big brother open the door, we didn't buy the house, it's the masters who are back!" Open the door and pick it up! ”

After hesitating for a while, someone seemed to be discussing something, and the man said, "You dare to lie to me, but you have to suffer, I can lead the dog!" I'll open the door when you're ready! ”

Saying that, the door opened, two men of different ages, who looked like father and son, one holding a dog in his hand, saw the living man screaming wildly, several children were all frightened and cried, seeing that it was a female dependent, the father and son realized that it was really the master who came, and hurriedly led the dog in to call people, and soon came out a middle-aged woman and two young women, who looked like mother and daughter, one by one looked at the crowd in front of them helplessly.

The slave of the Pei family stepped forward and said, "Why are you stunned? Haven't you seen the master before? This is Mrs. Xie, this is the second lady, these are a few young ladies and sisters, these are a few aunts, come and kowtow to your masters! ”

Only then did the gang react, and hurriedly knelt down, and the old lady motioned for them to get up and said: "The Xie family has changed dramatically, you must have heard of it, today I am fortunate to receive the emperor's amnesty, except for a few masters, only we women and children have come out, and the Xie family relies on us women and children for temporary support." I just heard from outside the door that you are all loyal people, and the old man is here to thank you for guarding this place for the Xie family! ”

The old lady was blessed, the family of four was so frightened that they knelt down and said they didn't dare, the man was very fierce when he scolded just now, but now he saw the master but was a little timid, the woman looked bolder, stood up and introduced herself, her husband's surname is Xia, known as Lao Xia, called her Xia sister-in-law, her son is seventeen years old this year, named Man Cang, and the two daughters are one fifteen and one thirteen, named Man Yuan and Man Wu. Lao Xia was originally a clear stable, a person around Wugong County, but he had no relatives in his hometown, and later he wanted to return to his hometown when he was old, and was sent by Mingche to guard the ancestral tomb, so that his family had a place to go.

Since the Xie family's accident, many people have been eyeing this large piece of fertile land next to the ancestral grave of the Xie family and this newly built house, and they have threatened everywhere that the Xie family will not live for a few days, and they want to buy this place at a very low price.

At the mention of Mingche, the old lady frowned, and soon regained her composure. Sister-in-law Xia is a clever person, so she hurriedly invited them in to talk, ordered her daughter to boil water and cook, and arranged everyone's accommodation while directing Lao Xia and her son to get the futon and make the bed.

Sigui Courtyard is a five-room three-entry house, equipped with ear rooms on both sides, as a separate courtyard is really not small, if the masters of the Xie family all come, crowded and crowded.

Changsheng watched Sister-in-law Xia arrange everything in an orderly manner, looked at the neat hall and simple and practical furniture, and suddenly felt that maybe it was a good thing to live in Sigui Courtyard.

Under the order of the old lady, several aunts followed Sister-in-law Xia to clean up their house and make beds, because the mountain residence was deserted, the old lady ordered the four aunts to live in one room, and there was a good response, she brought the elder Jinwen to live, and the eldest daughter of Sister-in-law Xia went to the night at night, so that Lin Xinhui took a son and a daughter to live in a place closer to herself, and Sister-in-law Xia helped take care of it at night, Changsheng took Jinshu to live not far from the old lady, and Sister-in-law Xia's youngest daughter went to the night, and the father and son lived separately at the front and back doors with a dog to guard the yard as before. The two men, two women, and four slaves who came with the Pei family were the ones Xie Mingzhu instructed Zhu's mother to send to serve her mother, and they only waited for tomorrow to divide the labor.

All the arrangements stopped, the Xie family went to clean up their houses, and Sister-in-law Xia took her two daughters to prepare dinner.

Soon dinner came, a few simple side dishes, steamed buns, pancakes and yellow rice porridge, exuding the unique fragrance of peasant food, which quickly aroused everyone's appetite.

After a day in the carriage, it was really tiring, Changsheng and Jinshu went back to the house after eating to take a bath, and then looked at the house while drinking tea.

It should be said that Che took a lot of effort to build this house in the first place, and it is really good to be able to build it like this in a short time.

Although there are no carved beams and paintings, the outside is simple and solid, the doors and windows look very solid, although it is a mountain residence, but at night you can still sleep soundly when you close the doors and windows. The inside is elegant and comfortable, the furniture is simple and practical, the new bed tent bedding is simple and unpretentious but soft and tidy, even the tea set is brand new, the temperature at the foot of the mountain is low, the house has just given birth to a charcoal basin, the heating has been blowing in the face, it seems that it has been prepared, everything is very complete.

After this accident, Jin Shu became much more sensitive and delicate, and began to know that she was going to a new residence, about three months of being afraid of the cell, she was very afraid of the new residence, and the road was uneven all the way, so she was even more scared, and when she arrived, she found that the house was really good, and the house assigned to her aunt Changsheng was even better, and there was a smile on her little face.

The house here is not big, except for the old lady who lives in a slip of three, two bedrooms in the middle of the hall, the rest are two inside and outside, the inside is the bedroom, the outside is similar to the current living room, Changsheng takes Jinshu to live inside, and the youngest daughter of Sister-in-law Xia lives in the outside compartment for the night.

Changsheng began to want her to go back to her own room to sleep, not to have to work so hard, and then thought that she was new to the situation, after all, she was not familiar with the situation, and she had lived here for a long time, at least she knew more than herself.

After a day's carriage ride, as soon as he was free, Changsheng felt that the bones were about to fall apart, so he told the whole house to go to sleep quickly, and if everyone got up tomorrow morning, wake her up.

was about to coax Jinshu to sleep well, when Jinshu suddenly asked her in the dark: "Auntie, is this room prepared by Daddy for us to live in advance?" Is Sister-in-law Xia's family also found by my father to serve us? Did Daddy build this house because he knew we didn't have a place to live? ”

Changsheng could hear the urgency and joy in her tone, and her heart was sour, it turned out that how much she cared about her father was not to cause everyone to go to prison, but to do such a great good thing for everyone, and even more concerned about her father thinking about her and thinking about her, knowing that she had nowhere to go, he built a house for her in advance.

She hugged her tightly and said softly: "Yes, Shu'er is right, didn't I say it, your father's favorite person is you, why doesn't he care about you?" He must have something very important not to come to see Shu'er, so that Shu'er suffered so much, you see, didn't he know that Shu'er might not have a house to live in, so he built a house here in advance, and asked Sister-in-law Xia to take care of Shu'er? We're all wiped out with Shu'er, aren't we? Go to sleep, don't think about it, look at how thin you have become? Your dad will feel distressed when he sees it! ”

I couldn't see Jin Shu's expression clearly in the dark, Changsheng guessed that her eyes must be shining, Jin Shu nodded again and again: "I know, I must sleep well, and see my father when I am fat!" ”

The north wind whimpered, and occasionally there were a few dog barks, but Changsheng slept exceptionally peacefully and steadily.
