A dirt street in a grange of scholars gathers the descendants of displaced people from all the states and counties in the north.

It can be seen that at the time of the Wuhu Disaster in the last years of the Han and Jin dynasties, the people of the Han family, who were taken in the Xiongnu and the Diqi people, were eager to kill and prostitute themselves, regardless of whether they were rich or poor, and all of them fled to the south.

Just like our huge Yi family in Jincheng County, those who can survive after the big waves will return to their ancestral business, work hard in a foreign place, get married and have children.

Those who are lucky, such as Mrs. Liu and grandfather, are among the family of gate lords and giant businessmen, and they have restored the prosperity of the family back then.

Those who are unlucky are like the craftsmen in the workshops on this dirt street, although they are sent to the fence, but the ancestral skills are still passed down.

Poverty and happiness are worry-free, but they are also happy.

The whole dirt street walked down. I found that more than half of all the workshop customers were descendants of the displaced people from Ludi.

"Chang'an, have you seen it, why did Mrs. Liu recruit so many Xiapi people? Isn't he afraid that these people will not be able to lose their tails in the future? ”

Looking at these tall and mighty, bold and optimistic descendants of Xiapi in front of him, they have the fierce style of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu back then, and I can't help but worry about the old lady Liu of the township party who is smeared with grease and powder.

"Big brother, you forgot, this place is also called Xiapi County, of course, because there are many underground Pi people in the north! The second brother Jin Qiu is coming here to be a county prince! ”

Chang'an didn't seem to understand what I meant, but a few paper kites swaying in the blue sky caught his attention, followed by bursts of young women's cheerful laughter from the woods by the riverside.

"Big brother, do you want to see what the second brother's county lady looks like? Take you to the past to see and see! ”

"Wu Wei's mother-in-law! Ha ha! I'm afraid that my uncle will go to see his future brother and daughter-in-law! ”

I heard that the eighth sister of the Liu family was in front, and I was immediately interested, but I felt that something was wrong.

"The family will meet sooner or later, and besides, the daughters in Liu's boudoir must be there! Spring flowers are beautiful like a dream, big brother must not be missed! ”

Chang'an looked like a monkey in a hurry, completely devoid of the style of a scholar just now.

"The third brother is hypocritical, and just now he said that he didn't want to be the son-in-law of Liu Fu, and he just wanted to be a free man in the rivers and lakes! Why are you still so interested in other people's daughters! I put my arm around Chang'an's shoulders and laughed.

"I stayed in this Liu Mansion for a few months a few years ago, and the sisters of the Liu family regarded me as a sibling, and they missed me very much for a few years, so don't speculate on it!"

Listening to my words, Brother Chang'an is a little embarrassed.

As we spoke, we came to a peach grove by the river.

It is the spring of March in the south of the Yangtze River, and the peach blossoms of the purple and red flowers decorate the back garden of the Liu Mansion like a brocade painting.

There are a dozen or so children in colorful clothes chasing honey bees and butterflies among the flowers, and in a clearing near the river, there are a few ancient willows that hug each other.

There is a swing made of silk rope between the ancient willows, and several girls in the age of cardamom are happily playing this kind of mountain play.

The laughter we heard just now came from them.

There are also two women facing the river wind and quietly controlling the silk thread in their hands, and the red and yellow paper kites in the air are like two colorful butterflies flying with wings.

or chasing each other, or flying up and down, or soaring, or hovering.

These women are dressed in graceful colorful skirts, with clouds and temples like daisies, smiling like flowers, and Wu Yue's soft words are as beautiful as the tinkling of mountain streams.

Chang'an is right, the beauty is like weaving, the spring is picturesque!

"Chang'an! Yi Chang'an! Is that you? ”

Two girls who were swinging saw us from afar, quickly stopped the game, and ran through the peach forest towards us with laughter.

"Ninth sister! Ten sisters! Brother Chang'an waved his hand to these two childhood friends, completely forgetting about my brother next to him.

"Brother Chang'an, I haven't seen you grow so tall for a few years! Yushu is in the wind! ”

"I heard my mother tell me in the morning that your caravan passed by today, but I didn't expect you to come too, why didn't you come to see us in the backyard!"

The two little sisters are the same size as Chang'an, and they have not yet reached the age of Lu, innocent and affectionate, full of beauty.

"Big brother, this is Liu Cai'er, the ninth sister of the Liu family, and Liu Lian'er, the tenth sister!"

"My eldest brother Yi Jincheng!"

Brother Chang'an couldn't resist the undisguised enthusiasm of the two little girls, and quickly turned around and introduced me as if asking for help.

"I've seen nine sisters and ten sisters, Cai'er, Lian'er, what a gentle name!" I smiled at the two sisters of the Liu family.

The sisters of the Liu family stopped greeting Brother Chang'an and looked at me curiously.

They should have heard of me, the eldest brother of Yimen, from their elders, so after comparing me with Brother Chang'an, they all covered their mouths and snickered.

A year of hard business travel may have completely changed the face I used to be proud of.

Compared with the handsome Chang'an son, I may now be a reckless person with a strong body and fierce eyes.

"Gold, silver and jade in the north, lotus can be picked in the south of the Yangtze River. Brother Jincheng, the milk names of the ten sisters in my family each took one of the words, from the eldest sister Bei'er to the tenth sister Lian'er, the official name is to crown our surname in front of the milk name! ”

The ninth sister Cai'er is a little shy and shy girl, and she blushes and introduces the origin of the names of her ten sisters.

Brother Chang'an and I followed the nine sisters and ten sisters of the Liu family through the peach forest and came to the bank of the big river with weeping willows.

The two beauties who originally put the paper kite were the seventh sister and the eighth sister of the Liu Mansion, if you didn't guess wrong, the beauty in the pink dress like a crane should be the eighth sister Liu Keer who is going to marry the second brother of Wuwei!

Liu Nan'er and Liu Ke'er are past their prime, and they are much more stable than the nine and ten sisters just now.

Especially this Liu Ke'er, he said a deep blessing to me: "Ke'er meets the Yi family's brother!" ”

I was so overwhelmed by such a gift for the first time in my life that I almost gave the jade pendant sachet that my cousin Langol entrusted me to bring to Wuwei as a meeting gift.

Liu Nan'er was dressed in an indigo brocade spring shirt, and her skin was as shiny as jade, which was very similar to Shangguan Yanxi of the Los Angeles Post Station.

It's just that this beautiful woman's eyes are like autumn water, full of faint sorrow, not as cheerful and bright as Miss Yanxi, which makes people feel pity immediately.

Later, I learned that the seventh sister of the Liu family was newly married to the son of a family of gate lords in Changsha County, Jiangnan, and her husband died of a violent illness.

The in-laws regarded this girl as a bad thing, and they were afraid that the power of the Liu family could not use family law, so they issued a letter of resignation and sent Liu Nan'er back to Liu's mansion.

When I first met her in the peach grove by the river, she had been widowed for two years

is in the prime of his youth, and he is about to spend it in the endless void.

Just like the peach blossoms in the garden, just blooming, an overnight spring rain will be scattered into mud, which is embarrassing.

The endless spring colors on the riverside and the beautiful women who came in the picture made me a little distracted, and I quickly pulled Chang'an brother out of the peach forest and came to the guest house where the caravan stayed.

After bathing and changing clothes, he ignored the harassment of Qin Chong, Guo Helmet Liu, Sha Mihan and others, and fell asleep with a faint concern for the sad beauty.

After getting up the next day, I took out the white robe and brocade clothes in the package from the hands of a famous tailor in Chang'an, and tossed my hair in front of the bronze mirror for a long time before I regained my original self-confidence.

Eight feet long, pulling out the mountains, with the male of Lu Fengxian and the appearance of Zhao Zilong, what kind of woman in the world can not be pursued.

It is really the blessing of the Buddha, on the day that my caravan set off from Liufu Manor, Liu Nan'er walked with us.

It turned out that Qingming was approaching, Liu Nan'er was going to Jiangnan to worship her deceased husband, and by the way, she went to Liu's house in Jiankang City's courtyard to live for a while, and the bustling market was also good to relieve the loneliness in her heart.

Mrs. Liu asked her grandfather to take care of her along the way, and after Brother Wu Wei and Liu Keer got married this summer, the seventh sister of the Liu family would cross the river and return north with us.

Liu Nan'er and her attendant were in a carriage, and when my mount passed by her, the grieving beauty smiled at me through the window screen.

This kind of ambiguous style that only a lady with a spring can have, makes me drunk like a sweet drink.

How could I have a team of 100 horses left and right, and my grandfather was responsible for taking care of her, so I didn't have the opportunity to be alone with her, and I didn't dare to do anything wrong.

Three days later, we crossed the river in three horses at Gudu in Niuzhuji.

After another day of non-stop travel, I finally came to the Longxi Manor at the eastern foot of Zhongshan.

The end of this trip, Jiankang City, the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is already close at hand!

Since April last year, a whole year has passed since the departure from the homeland of Khotan.

What a life! It's a long way to go!

Longxi Manor is the first property placed by his grandfather in Jiangnan after his second brother Wu Wei entered Jiankang Taixue.

The Southeast Jin Dynasty was originally established because of the support of the gate lord clan, and now the election of officials is also not a child of the scholar clan, and having a private grange is a necessary condition for entering the ranks of the scholar clan.

Therefore, for the sake of Wu Weidi's future career, Grandpa spared no expense to buy this manor and its surrounding Liangtian hills from the descendants of a down-and-out Wu Yueshi clan.

And left a few loyal and capable men as the elders of the family, to take care of all the affairs of the grange.

After a few years of hard work, this Longxi manor is now a prosperous scene full of chickens and ducks, cattle and sheep full of mountains, and five grains and mulberry hemp every year.

Except for the workshop Tujie where there are no craftsmen from the north, the popularity and scale of the entire manor are comparable to the Liu family manor in Xiapi, Jiangbei.
