……

Today's Xiaohe Village, like Qinghe Town, has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Xiaohe Village has not only become Chen Xu's fiefdom, but also the emperor's own imperial seal of the Ziyunxian Tea Garden, the entrance of the village to build a huge wooden and stone archway, on which are written the three seal characters of the fairy tea garden.

This memorial arch was originally Chen Xu left after the Nanyang County Shoujiang North Pavilion personally arranged people to build, the gate is three zhang high and two long and wide, the base is bluestone, the door post is made of rosewood that two people can hug together, this memorial arch is directly erected in the middle of the road leading to Xiaohe Village, it looks very magnificent.

When Chen Xu's family went to Xianyang in early April, he entrusted Niu Dashi, Uncle Ma and other villagers to help take care of the house and grain fields, as well as two pigs, two dogs and a vegetable garden.

However, after Chen Xu left, with the news of Henan's victory to Nanyang, the emperor rewarded Chen Xu again with 2,000 households, Jiangbei Pavilion and some merchants in Nanyang decided to build a Hou Mansion for him in the hometown of Qinghe Hou, Nanyang many businessmen enthusiastically donated nearly 100,000 money, not only to Qinghe Town to build a larger archway, but also to Qinghe Town to Xiaohe Village road again widened and leveled.

At present, this road has become more than two zhang wide, and two carriages can be paralleled, and Jiangbei Pavilion also organized hundreds of prisoners and a large number of craftsmen to open up more than 100 acres of land behind Chen Xu's three adobe houses, and built a Qinghe Hou Mansion with a large number of bluestones and giant trees, although it is not as luxurious as the Prime Minister's Mansion in Xianyang, but it is definitely the premier luxury courtyard in the entire Nanyang.

There are more than 30 houses in the whole Hou Mansion, the front yard is wide and has more than 60 acres, there are pond bamboo forests and big trees, the backyard is close to the location of the tea garden, the environment is quiet, and a canal is specially drawn from the small river to pass through the whole Hou Mansion, adding living water to the pond, and it is also convenient to take water and live.

Chen Xu didn't know about this at all, no one had ever talked about it, and on the way back, Chen Xu was still having a headache Win Shiyan and Meng Wan and a group of maids and palace maids who came over to marry are used to living in a mansion, will they not adapt to the simplicity of Xiaohe Village, but when he returned home and saw the mansion compound behind the house, he praised Jiangbei Pavilion fiercely in his heart.

Money is still secondary, mainly because this heart is rare.

With this mansion, Chen Xu's heart was much more relaxed, after sending the two hundred forbidden troops who escorted them back, the family and the guards could live in peace, eating, drinking, sleeping and sleeping were no different from in Xianyang, and even the environment of the mountain village was quiet and quiet, which was more comfortable than living in the Qinghe Courtyard.

After seven or eight consecutive days of celebration, the family finally quieted down for the past two days.

Some of the gifts brought back from Xianyang and more than 10 cars of gifts sent by merchants on the road have been distributed out a lot, the villagers of Xiaohe Village have also received a lot, and the villagers of Xiaohe Village do not need to pay grain tax, every household has inexhaustible food in the past six months, and the houses of each family have all been renovated and rebuilt, and even Jiangbei Pavilion has built a roasted tea factory next to the tea garden, and the Shui family has arranged people to design and build, and built several stoves and large iron pots specially used for roasting tea.

The tea leaves of the Emperor's Imperial Tea Garden are not allowed to be purchased by anyone, and can only be disposed of by the Marquis of Qinghe.

Although Chen Xu and this year personally arranged people to expand the scale of the tea garden twice, the area of the tea garden has reached more than 200 acres, but the planting are all small tea trees, the real tea production is still the three ancient tea trees and some adult tea trees around, the yield is not too high, fried down a year is only dozens of catties, completely not enough to distribute, but in another ten or eight years, the tea trees in this tea garden began to reach the age of tea, then the output of Ziyunxian tea will increase countless times, and then it can also be sold to the outside world. It brings rich benefits to the villagers of Xiaohe Village.

Chen Xu returned home with a group of guards through the huge tea garden archway, and heard the laughter of children coming from the courtyard from a short distance.

Xing'er, Yu Ji and a group of girls in the village were chasing and playing in the yard, and a monkey was jumping around to join in the fun.

Xing'er's identity is respected, from the original mountain village and wild girl to the lord of Houfu, naturally her identity is transcendent, a group of children in Xiaohe Village who grew up with her since childhood are all around her like stars holding the moon, although she changed into an ordinary linen dress after returning home, but Chen Xu, who looked arrogant, still couldn't help frowning, Xing'er's education was two years late, and she felt that she already had a little bit of Jiang Chuyue's prototype, and it seemed that she would have to strengthen education in the future.

Yu Ji is young, innocent and lively, holding the chicken feather shuttlecock brought back from Xianyang and playing with several little girls of similar age, while a group of boys are around Xing'er, making sandbag games together, and a group of people are also having fun.

Ying Shiyan and Meng Wan took a group of maids and palace maids to welcome Chen Xu into the backyard, and after washing up, Chen Xu personally went to visit Uncle Ma with gifts.

Uncle Ma was very excited about Chen Xu's arrival, and probably knew Chen Xu's origin, so after driving his family out, he sat on the kang and told Chen Hu's affairs in detail, and the content was similar to what Niu Dashi said.

At the beginning, the Qin and Chu army had a vicious battle, the Chu army retreated, and the Qin army then covered up, so no one had time to clean up the aftermath, the war led to the destruction of a large number of villages, a large number of carriages were ignited and burned by the Chu army on the road to hinder the Qin army, and the people of Chu in the war area were afraid of being killed by the Qin army, so they fled to Qi in groups.

Because at that time, only the Qi State and the Yan State were not occupied by the Qin army.

It was in this situation that Chen Hu was found by the fleeing people, and then rescued by a woman, and that woman was Chen Hu's current wife, Han Tianshi.

"Xiao Xu, your father is really lucky, according to him, the people who were separated from the Qinghe Town where he went with him were basically dead, his thigh was severely injured, he was hit by three arrows in his body, and he was also hit by a sword in the chest, and his blood was almost drained, if it weren't for Han Tian's kind heart to desperately flee with him on his back, and save food for him to eat, he would have died in that war a long time ago, our village went to four, and none of them came back, alas~" Uncle Ma wiped his tears with emotion, and his expression was very sad.

"Your father is the most powerful hunter near Qinghe Town, otherwise it is estimated that he will not be able to escape from the battlefield, your father has not come back because of his own worries, after the end of the war, the county lieutenant arranged for someone to inform that your father has died, if he suddenly comes back, it is likely to be treated as a deserter, will be beheaded, and will involve your family will be sold into slavery......"

Chen Xu nodded slightly, after a few days of continuous thinking, he probably guessed that this was the reason, but after the Qin-Chu War, it took another three years for the Qin State to conquer Yan and Qi, and a full seven years have passed, and there is no need to be incognito, and there is only one reason for not coming back, that is, the Han Tian clan who saved his life.

"Your father didn't dare to go home and fled all the way to Huaiyin, and soon after he heard that the Qin State had destroyed the Chu State, so many refugees began to return home, but your father was afraid of returning to be recognized, so he settled down near Huaiyin with the Han Tian clan, this stay is seven years, if it wasn't for Wuya recognizing your father on the road two months ago, I'm afraid we wouldn't know that he was still alive......"

Uncle Ma was silent for a long time and then continued: "Xiao Xu, you are now the Hou Ye, your identity is not the same as in the past, even if your father is a deserter, it is not a problem for you, not to mention that so much time has passed, now your mother is still young, and you need a man to be a complete family, you don't have to think too much, hurry up and take your mother to meet your father, and arrange this matter properly!" ”

Chen Xu smiled bitterly and said: "Uncle, this matter is not as easy as you think, my father has not come back for so many years, it turned out that he was afraid of affecting my mother and me and Xing'er, but since he married Han Tian and gave birth to a daughter, now my fame is known all over the world, he must have heard of it, but he is still unwilling to come back, which shows that my father is reluctant to abandon Han Tian, I can't force my father to go home and not want Han Tian and his daughter, right?" ”

"Why not, the emperor listens to you, this matter is not a big deal for you, don't you even want your father?" Uncle Ma glared at Chen Xu very dissatisfied.

Although Chen Xu is a marquis, but Uncle Ma and other people in the village have watched him grow up with his bare buttocks, if there is no group of bitter villagers in the village to help him live, it is estimated that Chen Xu's family will freeze to death and starve to death a few years ago, there is no strong man in the family, and a thin woman can't afford a poor family at all, so even in the face of Chen Xu, who is in full swing, Uncle Ma will not be afraid at all, although he can't scold the lesson, as an elder, he will naturally say it.

What's more, although Chen Xu is the Hou Ye now, he still treats all the villagers equally after returning home, and he has no half-point frame as before, drinking wine and eating meat and talking and laughing loudly, saying vulgar jokes that the villagers like to see, and then holding a bamboo teacup to get together to play mahjong and chat, which is not half a point different from before.

Therefore, on the day of return, the villagers were still a little restrained and afraid, but two days later, Xiaohe Village returned to its former harmony, and Chen Jiang's family also changed into a cloth skirt similar to that of the villagers.

Chen Xu saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, to be honest, Chen Jiang's women, who are used to staying in the countryside, are indeed not used to life in the city, although the Xianyang Hou Mansion has everything to eat, but it is only a material need, not to mention loneliness in the spiritual aspect, and it is very depressing, after going to Xianyang, Chen Xu didn't see Chen Jiang's happy smile like after going home, plus the water is soft, Chen Jiang's mood is even worse.

People live unhappy all their lives, and no amount of money is useless.

Therefore, even if he is gentle with the water, Chen Xu also has a deep sense of guilt.

When I went to Xianyang, I could see that the water was gentle and unaccustomed, and I was depressed and unhappy, and I only felt a little peace and comfort when I was with him.

"Xiao Xu, did you hear what Uncle said, you have to invite your father home, it's not easy for your mother to pull the two of you with hard work, it's not easy......" Seeing Chen Xu's silent appearance, Uncle Ma was very unhappy.

"What about the Han Tian clan?" Chen Xu smiled bitterly again.

"Naturally, it's a holiday!" Uncle Ma's tone was resolute.

"Uncle, my father is definitely unwilling to ...... the Han Tian clan."

"What's so unwilling, are you, the marquis, a statue at home? Hmph, I think your father must have a broken braincase, and he has a son who is a marquis, and he can't even give up a woman! Uncle Ma blew his beard and glared at him incomprehensibly. (https:)
