Chapter 128: Coming Home

The Jiang family's house is very large, but it has also been slowly expanded from generation to generation.

By Jiang Wei's generation, the Jiang family's ancestral house had expanded to nine large courtyards and dozens of small courtyards.

After entering the Jiang Mansion, there is a large spacious and flat courtyard, where the carriages and sedan chairs are usually used, and the stables and sedan chairs are on both sides.

Passing through the courtyard is the main hall where guests are received, and after going out from the south gate of the main hall, there is a spacious corridor that divides the Jiang Mansion into two parts, east and west.

To the east are four courtyards and a garden, where the Jiang family lives.

There are five courtyards in the west, the first three-entry compound, the front yard is the location of the study, and the back two are the medicine garden of the family.

The three courtyards in the middle were inhabited most of the time by Jiang Sui's apprentices and various guests who came to him for advice.

The last courtyard is the dwelling of the servants and the subordinates.

Shen Tianshu followed Wang Yuanjiu, walking in the corridor that he had walked through thousands of times, his eyes still looking around greedily.

Everything in front of me was both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar.

Brick by brick, grass and tree, full of memories, Shen Tianshu's heart fell straight down.

I've seen the scenery thousands of times before, but she is reluctant to blink at this time.

Shen Tianshu looked around, and when the corner of his eye swept the corridor in front of him, he seemed to see a somewhat familiar figure flashing.

Looking at the back, it seems to be a woman, and the sense of familiarity is very clear, not like a mistake.

Could it be that there are still people alive in the Jiang family? Staying here to do things now?

But when she turned her head to take a closer look, it was empty.

"Manager Wang, are the people who are working in Jiang's mansion now also people sent by the palace? Isn't there any original descendant of the Jiang family? ”

Wang Yuanjiu accepted her purse before, and weighed that it would have to be twenty taels, and he was already very happy in his heart, and there was nothing to hide and tucked on Jiang Zhai's side, so he was naturally happy to answer.

"Tong Niangzi, now only our family in Jiang Mansion is from the palace, and the others are actually some yard cleaning handymen, all of whom are hired locally from Lai'an County. As for the original servants of the Jiang family, there is really no one left.

"If you want to say that this Jiang family was really a living bodhisattva who helped the world and saved people, who can live to death without illness and disaster in the world? You have to seek medical advice.

I heard that when it is easy to get sick during the change of season or when it is too cold in winter, the Jiang family will also boil soup and medicine for free to distribute to everyone in the county to prevent illness and strengthen their health.

"Tell me, a good family like this, those people in the county are not hard-hearted, how can they not be grateful?"

Shen Tianshu's mouth was full of bitterness, and he responded: "Yes! I also heard that the people of Lai'an County are very grateful to the Jiang family, and they are scrambling to send things to the house during the New Year's Festival, whether it is their own rice dumplings or newly harvested millet, it is everyone's heart. ”

"Isn't it!" Wang Yuanjiu clapped his hands and said, "So at the beginning, our family simply posted a notice, saying that we wanted to invite locals to clean Jiang's house, and we didn't need to stay here all day, just do things at regular times, not only not delay the work of the family, but also give them subsidies to supplement the family."

"Oh, the people who came at that time were called more than one, and they hated to have to ask for money and were willing to come to clean, and they were grateful, and they were extra careful in doing things, and they didn't have to worry about our family at all, every grass and tree in this house, every brick and tile, they all cherished it more than their own things!"

"So that's the case, Mr. Wang is worthy of being a person sent by the emperor, and he thinks things well." Shen Tianshu was a little disappointed when he heard this.

I thought that the familiar figure I saw just now must be someone from the county who came to clean up and do things.

After all, she had lived here for so long in her previous life, and the county itself was not big, and many people could be familiar with each other even if they didn't know each other.

She thought that there might be someone in the family who would survive and stay in the house to do things, but now this road is blocked by Wang Yuanjiu's words, and it seems that she is thinking too much.

The study was in the first compound on the west side, so it didn't take much to get there.

It is said to be a study, but in fact, the first main room is a two-story building with a façade of five rooms, and there are several side rooms on the east and west sides, which are all stored medicinal materials.

The first floor is the study, and the second floor is the Jiang family's library.

The main room on the first floor was where my grandfather used to give lessons to his apprentices.

The two rooms on the east side are the study rooms of Jiang Wei and Jiang Tong, and the two rooms on the west side are the places shared by the apprentices of the family.

Today, the two rooms on the east side are basically the same as they were three years ago, and the furniture in the two rooms on the west side has been slightly changed for those who come to copy books.

Li Zi'an brought a total of twenty people to Shen Tianshu for the purpose of helping her copy books.

Fortunately, the Jiang family's study is built spacious, otherwise it would be difficult to accommodate so many people at once.

Wang Yuanjiu led the people to the place and said: "Lady Tong, the medical books upstairs and downstairs can be read and copied, but our family will explain to you first, everything in the small building, except for the copied paper, is not allowed to be taken out." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Wang." Shen Tianshu naturally nodded in agreement.

"You're welcome, after you finish reading the books, just put them on the table here in the hall, and someone will clean them up afterwards."

I don't know if it's because he doesn't have to watch here, or because Fan Yuru has done it, Wang Yuanjiu said goodbye and left.

Shen Tianshu went to Jiang Wei's study first, found the latest medical case and his own experience before the accident, took it out and handed it to the twenty people in the opposite room, and asked them to start copying it separately.

After finding something to do for them, Shen Tianshu slowly climbed the stairs.

There is no partition on the second floor, and there is a large room that runs through the whole house, with rows of bookshelves standing neatly, and even the books on the shelves are exactly the same as in the previous life.

Shen Tianshu held back the tears that were about to burst out of his eyes, and his fingers ran over the rows of books on the shelves.

Unlike other children, she spent most of her childhood in this small building.

The medical books and medical records that can never be memorized, the punishment that can never be copied, naturally had incomprehension and complaints when I was young, and then gradually became a favorite.

Memories that were difficult or enjoyable at the time have become unattainable happiness in Kyoto.

Sitting in a familiar rocking chair by the window, there was even a medical book on the small table at hand.

In such a familiar scene and environment, Shen Tianshu couldn't help but feel in a trance.

She even fantasized about whether what had happened before would be just a lengthy nightmare.

I was just returning home from an ordinary outing, and the next moment I could hear my grandfather giving a lecture downstairs, or I heard him call himself Tong'er with a smile.

Shen Tianshu closed his eyes tiredly, and the whole person nestled into the rocking chair, as if returning to the arms of his parents.

The rocking chair shook slightly, shaking off the tears that glistened from the corners of her eyes......
