Chapter 113: Returning Home
When Youlan heard that someone was looking for her, she couldn't help but lose her face with fright, and secretly wondered if it was those ruffians who were harassing her again?
Liang Yuesong thought to herself, I can't stop a few troublesome prostitutes in the second generation of the governor's office? So he patted the back of her hand and comforted, "It's okay, there is me. You stay in the house and don't come out, I'll come when I go. ”
Liang Yuesong opened the door and walked out of the room, just as the two people also happened to walk to the staircase, and the old bustard also followed out of breath. When I got closer, it turned out to be Qin Bao and the coachman. The two of them also saw Liang Yuesong, Qin Bao hurriedly stepped forward and whispered to Liang Yuesong, "Young Master, the master asked you to go back immediately." ”
Liang Yuesong asked the coachman with a cold face: "You told the master?" ”
The coachman stammered to Liang Yuesong with a bitter face and said, "Less...... Master, at first, I only said that you went to drink with your friends, and you will go home in a while. But it's almost the third watch and you haven't gone back yet, the lord is in a hurry, so he is angry at me, and I tell the truth when I am afraid. ”
Liang Yuesong knew that the driver was no wonder about this, it was indeed too late. It would be strange if my father didn't ask.
At this point, Liang Yuesong had no choice but to say to the two of them: "You go down and wait for me for a while, and I will go back immediately." ”
With that, he closed the door and went back to his room.
"Miss Youlan, someone from the family asked me to go back, I have to leave immediately." Liang Yuesong said to Youlan with some reluctance.
"Childe, when will you come to see me again?" Youlan asked expectantly.
"For two months at most, I have to come back before the Yellow River freezes. Take care of yourself, and I'll redeem you when you come back. Liang Yuesong excitedly said what he had just thought.
Youlan had tears in her eyes: "Thank you, Childe, I'm waiting for you." After speaking, he hugged Liang Yuesong tightly and snuggled up to his chest.
Liang Yuesong put her arms around her thin waist and gently hugged her into her arms, and they didn't let go until Qin Bao knocked on the door outside. Liang Yuesong said: "I have to go back, if you have something, you can go to Miss Zhou Ji or He Gongzi of Hejia Town, you explain to them the two of us, and they will help you." Remembered. ”
After speaking, he opened the door and left, and Youlan's voice came from behind him: "Childe, I'm waiting for you to come back." ”
After returning home, Liang Yuesong inevitably received a scolding from his parents, and this time it was a mixed male and female scolding.
Liang Wensheng first bluffed his face and fired: "I see that you have a few stinky money in your hands these days, and you are starting to get carried away!" I even went to drink flower wine with some random people! You have to stay home at night, if this thing spreads, it will affect your fame in the future! ”
Mrs. Liang then said bitterly: "Song'er, you are not too young, you can't fool around like this. Let you go home on a blind date, hurry up and get married, you don't agree. If the Wu family knows about this, it's hard to say whether people are willing to do this family business! Last time I introduced you to the girl of the Wei family, you didn't want to live or die, saying that you didn't know or understand. This time, the young lady of the Wu family, you have known each other since childhood, there should be no reason, right? ”
Before Liang Yuesong could speak, Liang Wensheng said domineeringly: "Whether you agree or not, hurry up and prepare, and go back to get married immediately!" ”
Then, he said to Mrs. Liang: "Madam, you take their brother and sister back together, first settle this family business, wait for the end of next autumn, and then do the marriage!" ”
Liang Yuesong listened to his father's meaning, and asked them to go back, and he didn't plan to come back. How can this work! If you can't come back this time, the next thing is next year's autumn season, and after the middle lift, you will immediately rush to Beijing to participate in the general examination and the palace examination. Then I have to go back to my hometown to report the good news to my ancestors, and then I will be appointed by the Ministry of Officials to go to other places to be officials, so that it is likely that this generation will not have the opportunity to come back, and it will be impossible to meet the Youlan girl again. But think again, when I'm done, he'll have to urge me to come back. It seems that there is a long way to go back this time.
Thinking of this, he pretended to be reluctant and said, "Song'er obeys her parents' arrangements and will go back to her hometown immediately." ”
When Mrs. Liang heard him say this, she immediately became happy: "That's right, I'll start preparing tomorrow, let's leave immediately." ”
So a scolding ended with Liang Yuesong bowing his head and confessing his guilt, serving Anpai, and Liang Wensheng and his wife won a complete victory. After that, Liang Yuesong hurriedly said goodbye to his parents and went back to his room to sleep, leaving Liang Wensheng and his wife still muttering and discussing there for half the night before going to sleep.
The large and small officials in the city, when they heard that the son of the Lord Zhizhou was going back to his hometown to complete the marriage, naturally prepared a generous gift.
Two days later, the Shuhe wharf in the east of the city was full of people seeing them off, they were all family members of officials in the city, and He Zhiyuan and Zhou Fuliu were naturally among them. This time, they all sent Lord Liang's family back to their hometown to complete the marriage, no matter what happened to Lord Liang, the face always had to be reasonable, so everyone prepared a good gift and came to the dock to send each other.
Nowadays, the Shuhe River has been dredged, and the Suqian Luoma Lake in Huai'an Prefecture can be directly connected to the south of the Shuhe River to the south of the Huai'an Prefecture, and the Yellow River can be entered from the Luoma Lake, and it can go all the way upstream, until the county seat of Chaoyi in Shaanxi.
On the dock, Liang Yuesong found He Zhiyuan, and the two found a secluded place and said, "Dad, there is one more thing you want to help me." ”
He Zhiyuan asked him, "What's the matter?" ”
"If the Youlan girl from Qunfanglou has something to do with you or her mother, you must help her." Liang Yuesong said a little embarrassed.
He Zhiyuan looked at Liang Yuesong with a mocking expression and said, "I've only known each other for so many days, and you hooked up?" You don't have a private commitment for life, do you? ”
"No, no, I look at her pitiful." Liang Yuesong said weakly.
"Alright, I got it! I'll keep an eye on that. He Zhiyuan stopped ridiculing, and in order to let him go back with confidence, he promised to come down.
After Liang Yuesong helped her mother board the boat, she stood at the bow of the boat with her mother and waved goodbye to everyone. Suddenly, he saw that in the corner of the crowd, Youlan and her maidservants were standing on the dock watching them leave, and Liang Yuesong deliberately smiled and waved in their direction.
In the past few days, Youlan has heard that Liang Gongzi may have to get married at home, and then try it in the township. It is impossible to come back in two months, maybe he just spoke to comfort her that night, and his heart couldn't help but be sad, since ancient times, he has been an infatuated woman with a negative heart, I hope Liang Gongzi's promise that night is not a momentary play!
Looking at the departing boat and Liang Gongzi who waved at her, Youlan had already burst into tears, she didn't know if Liang Gongzi could really come back this time, and what kind of fate awaited her in front of her.
Shu River is a tributary of the Huai River Basin, autumn and winter is the dry season, the water is shallow and no big boats are allowed. Liang Yuesongyi
There were more than 10 people in the line, divided into two small boats. After arriving at Suqian Luoma Lake, transfer to the official boat and continue westward.
Since the Yellow River was diverted from Kaifeng in the eighth year of Hongzhi, after several years of governance by Liu Daxia, it is now basically able to sail medium-sized passenger ships. However, since Kaifeng and then upstream, it is necessary to get off the boat many times and change to the land route several times, avoiding several dangerous stalls and canyons, before continuing to move forward by boat, so the journey of more than 2,000 miles will take more time than usual.
There was nothing to say all the way, and half a month later, Liang Yuesong, his mother and sister Liang Yueshi arrived in his hometown Chaoyi County.
Chaoyi County is a thousand-year-old city, known as Linjin, Wuquan, Hexi, Xiyuan, Zuo Fengyi in ancient times. From the founding of the city in the Spring and Autumn Period to the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty, it has a history of about 2,000 years. It is located on the inner side of the second bend on the right side of the Yellow River. Since ancient times, it has been a place of great treasures and outstanding people. This is the easternmost side of the 800-mile Qinchuan River, it is unique and extraordinary, beautiful, and has a natural temperament. Since ancient times, Chaoyi has been an important town in the east of the Guanzhong Plain, and it has both the heroism of the north and the grace of the south.
The Yellow River roars from north to south, reaching Chaoyi River as wide as several miles, the water flow is gentle, sparkling, and on both sides are the alluvial plains of the Yellow River. Therefore, Chaoyi has fertile land, abundant water and grass, and is an important grain producing area in Shaanxi, and has been a rich land in Guanzhong since ancient times.
On the dock of the Yellow River, the brothers and sisters of my uncle's family were already waiting here. As soon as the boat docked and stopped, Liang Yueshi jumped and ran off the boat, chatting with her cousin Liang Yueyan of the same age.
Liang Yuesong's cousins came onto the boat, first saluted their aunt, and then carried their luggage off the boat with the guards, loaded them into a carriage, and walked with everyone to the county seat of Chaoyi.
Today's Liang family is no longer an ordinary peasant in Shadili Village, only the nearby farmers have donated thousands of acres of land, Liang Yuesong's uncle bought a five-entry mansion in the county seat, moved the family to the city, has already become a wealthy family in Chaoyi County.
Liang Yuesong sat in the carriage and looked out all the way, thinking that in more than three months, the richness and beauty here would be devastated by a major earthquake, and the people would be in dire straits. I couldn't help but feel a lot of pain in my heart, and my sense of mission to save the people became stronger.
Back home, Liang Yuesong first went to greet his grandparents. When they saw Liang Yuesong and his entourage arriving home, they were naturally happy and burst into tears. Grandma asked, "Song'er, you won't leave when you come back this time, right?" ”
In order to make her grandparents happy, Liang Yuesong had to lie: "Don't go." During this time, I will go home and study hard, and I will take the township exam next year. ”
"Okay, it's better not to go. In two days, you went to Wu's house to meet an Uncle Wu, who you haven't seen for so many years. I think our Song'er is worthy of the girl of the Wu family. Wait for the matchmaker to send the eight characters, set the date, set the table and banquet to set the marriage. ”
Liang Yuesong understood that this was to let him go on a blind date. In fact, the Wu family and the Liang family have been friends for many years, and the Wu family is also a big local family. His quasi-father-in-law is also from a high background, but he is not as lucky as Liang Wensheng and has been working as an official in other places. The daughter of the Wu family is three years younger than Liang Yuesong, and she is already at the age of marriage, and both parents are interested in getting married. That's why Liang Yuesong's parents were in a hurry to let him come back on a blind date and set up a marriage.
Liang Yue agreed casually, still thinking about how to hide from her family tomorrow and go out on the street alone......
