Chapter 267: Returning Home
Crossing the Yellow River, Ah Yuan also paid a special look at the place where the cold arrow was shot last time, and the unbearable memory that had been forgotten for a long time made her eyes gloomy again.
This woman holds a grudge.
The Yellow River water in winter is still very happy, the amount of sediment at this time is not large, and there are traces of clear aquatic plants near the riverbank.
"Actually, walking along the Yellow River is quite comfortable, and the distance may be shorter." Xiao Awen cautiously put forward the suggestion, and the young man was afraid that his sister-in-law would find out his careful thoughts and start a rush again.
"If I don't take the waterway, I don't feel at ease. Sitting on the boat, I don't know what unknown dangers there will be under the water, or if the view is better on land, at least, if you encounter a robber or something, you can see it clearly. ”
Ah Yuan didn't consider her brother's suggestion at all, she was a landlubber, and she had a natural fear of rivers, lakes and seas.
Children who are insecure when they are young, where can they really rest assured?
The escort of this trip was not small, twenty men sat in three carriages, the front two were out of the way, and the back one was broken.
Zhang Dashan, the head of the guard, sat happily in the carriage behind the break, the curtains were rolled up, and his two calves hung outside the carriage, bragging and farting with a few subordinates.
Then, an anomaly was discovered.
"Lord Qiyu, it seems, maybe, someone is following behind our carriage, if we are fast, he will be fast, and if we are slow, he will be slow, and he will always keep that distance......."
In fact, this is purely the vigilance that an old guard has cultivated over the years, and it is not necessarily an enemy situation.
In Ah Yuan's mind, he quickly went over all the enemies he had offended, it seemed. In addition to Ma Wangye, there are still some signs of danger. The rest. It's not worth thousands of miles to track down thousands of miles to kill you.
Could it be that Lord Ma is a thief and fantasizes about snatching our children as grandchildren?
"How many are there?" Xiao Awen clenched his fists, last time his sister-in-law was too reckless, she entered Beijing alone as a civilian, and encountered a lot of dangers, this time, which one dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head and stretched out his claws to Sima and the county lord?
Zhang Dashan's old face flushed: "I only found - one - ".
Want to commit murder alone? With a convoy of six wagons. Thirty or so people?
"Maybe it's the first to step on it, in short, everyone is more vigilant, especially to protect the three children......." Xiao Awen's experience of going out is not useless, and as soon as he exits, he has completely removed the immaturity and hesitation of a teenager.
The three baby eggs are still accustomed to sleeping soundly as soon as the carriage is bumpy, and then as long as one of them wakes up, the other two will not sleep again, "Mother-ah-hug-". The babbling of the words came and went.
That's right, remove the "little second" who made the earliest sound. In addition to being able to express the needs in one word completely and clearly, the other two are also studying hard and striving to catch up with the level of the "little second".
This time back to his hometown, Ah Wen also kidnapped the old Wang Tai Doctor who was resident in the county lord's mansion by the way, Ah Fu was cured, the emperor withdrew one, the Wang Tai Doctor was left voluntarily, he was born in the civil society and had no right to fight, and he had no children and no daughter and lost his wife in middle age, and he laughed at himself and said that he was greedy for the liveliness of the county lord's mansion, and the food was also comfortable.
In fact, the most important thing is that it is more free and comfortable to be in the county lord's mansion, right? It's all mud legs crawling out, no one will look down on anyone, the county lord's temper is big and melting, there is no action to play tricks, Mrs. Wang has found a good place for herself to retire!
The three maids who were kidnapped from Li Wei had to be taken home, and the county lord gave them the marriage that they couldn't complete, and then went back and completed it with the old master.
As soon as they entered the boundary of Dengzhou Mansion, several red brick houses appeared in front of them, which made Ah Yuan and Xiao Ah Wen couldn't help but stop and stop.
Xiao Wu has come and gone in the capital, leaving a lot of footprints.
Finally being able to see his hard work take root in the land of the Great Song Dynasty, and gradually flourish, Ah Yuan's heart was moved.
"Awen, in less than two years, our red bricks will definitely be able to go north and south of the river, and after returning home, we will arrange a few more people who run business to follow Xiao Wuduo out for a walk, and there will be cement, and the ...... will be spread out from the capital first."
Ah Yuan's low mood that he had kept all the way finally completely dissipated, and his eyes that looked at Ah Wen regained their brilliance: "We are not short of money now, and when we go back, we will recalculate the price, as long as we can maintain the operation of the brick kiln, we can sell the most ordinary red bricks and red tiles to the common people......."
Money is a thing, if you don't bring it in life, you don't bring it when you die, it's enough to spend and use enough.
It also saves me from always worrying that there are thieves who are worried about coming to "kill the rich and help the poor", and "help" them out in advance......
Zhang Dashan's closely monitored followers, but there was no change for a long time, and it was not until near Zhuyang County that they disappeared.
When I returned to Zhuyang County, it was like a lifetime.
The main streets are still those streets, and the shops have come out a lot, but compared to the prosperity of Tokyo, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, in the end, it is still not a little bit behind.
"Women's Beauty Square", renovated, white wooden planks wrap the entire exterior wall, up and down the rainbow bridge, is dotted with flowers, colorful falling into the dust......
The once lively "Brother Ramen Restaurant" can no longer find any traces left.
Ah Wen's eyes were a little moist, and the fingers that helped his sister-in-law lift the curtain were still a little trembling.
This is where the Bai family first made their fortune, the family business that they have accumulated, and the shop they bought......
It was also here that Bai Laosan met Ah Fu, turned against his sister-in-law, and then stained the casino with blood, which was full of his uncle's affection......
It was also here that he studied poetry and books hard night and night, his eldest brother Huo Ran went away to join the army, and his sister-in-law was pregnant, reciting books and teaching his nephews......
It was also here that my sister Cailian, who loves stinky beauty, opened up a small business face, made makeup, made clothes, and met Lu Miaomiao......
The three maids got out of the car with three sleeping children with red faces, each with a flower quilt on their shoulders, and then covered the children's heads, faces and bodies.
Ah Yuan smiled and pulled his hair, jumped out of the car with the support of Ah Wen, and in front of the beauty square, a flower-like girl maintained a stiff posture.
The door curtain is a string of heart-shaped purses connected by a string of colorful purses, which sets off the elegant and quiet dress of the girl at the door.
The tiny eyes were trying to open wider, but there was a noticeable mist of tears.
The hair is still a little yellow, combed in an ordinary double bun, but the small braids hanging down on both sides are carefully and carefully tied with tiny broken flowers, which are wound up every half an inch.
"The little yellow-haired girl, it's still so stinky and beautiful!"
Ah Yuan snorted lightly, stretched out his arms, and was about to rub the head of this girl in a daze.
"Why don't you let the children into the house quickly, you don't see that they are all freezing outside!" Little Awen sniffed, took the lead in curling an index finger, and flicked it into the little girl's head.
"Sister-in-law-Awen-woo-woo-woo-", the little girl who was in a daze finally came back to her soul, crying and laughing, and did not forget to instinctively protect her beautiful hairstyle.
Entering the house, there was another chaos, two young girls helped the maid to settle the children into bed to rest, the three masters, one moment hugged their heads and cried, and the other laughed and made trouble.
Several small houses in the backyard have also been repaired, all of them are designed by Cailian, the interior layout is warm and elegant, and even, there is a room that is prepared for Ah Yuan's mother and son.
Next to the purple bed, three small beds with guardrails went hand in hand, the blue futon slept the "little boss", the green one slept the "little second", the pink little princess bed, and the black charcoal "little third", who had not yet woken up from the days of running.
"Awen's house is also next door-", Cailian's little face was already crying, and she insisted on introducing this "new home" one by one.
"Arrange an inn so that everyone can rest too." Ah Yuan threw himself on the big bed, and the closer he got to his home, the more anxious he was to hurry, and his bones were about to be scattered.
"Hehe, sister-in-law, you don't know yet, I'm in charge of my own decision, and I bought the next door, I'm afraid that you won't have a place to live when you come back, Xiao Wu is also looking forward to you going home for the New Year, and now the next room has made beds, and when spring begins, I plan to open up the two yards, which is much wider than this side."
Cai Lian was triumphant, and she could finally show off her exploits to her relatives. One person's success is too lonely!
"Crying and laughing, piggy!" Xiao Awen can't see that others like to show off, so he stretched out his little finger to shave his face, although he is a Sima, he wants to show a mature official appearance in the capital, but he will still show his original form in front of his loved ones.
Ah Yuan had already closed his eyes, waved his hand and asked them to arrange their own arrangements, the brother and sister were busy placing the maids and guards to rest, and then picking lotus to take care of the business of Meili Fang, Ah Wen was in good spirits, and decided to go to visit Yuan Xianling first, and book a banquet by the way.
The young man's flying Huang Tengda, every step, there is Yuan County's strong support, and now, like a milk bird that has just learned to fly, flapping its wings, eager to fly back to the nest to continue to snuggle in the arms of his mother and father.
Re-walked on the streets of Zhuyang County, walked on every corner where he used to carry a small bamboo basket to sell sugar gourds, the former Tanhualang, and now Bai Sima, unaware of the fatigue of the journey, accompanied by the master, drove an ordinary carriage alone, slowly following behind him.
On the carriage, it was a gift he wanted to give to his teacher, not gold and silver treasures, not peerless utensils, only every footprint, every day's observations, and thoughts after bidding farewell to his teacher.
There are also good articles collected in Beijing, which are Yuan Xianling's favorite things.
This visit is not Sima's identity, but just a disciple, to the teacher who taught the profession, to say "good", or, according to Awen's habit, anytime, anywhere, to the closest people, to show off their brilliant achievements. (To be continued......)
