Chapter 108: To Ji Zhi's house

Qu Wu rode a horse, and Ji Zhi drove Chen Huan and Chen Le to the junction of Zheng Guo and Chen Guo quickly, except for stopping for lunch and supplying the horses and resting, the rest of the time was walking forward non-stop.

Along the way, many people wanted to stop the carriage, but they all refused.

When passing through the suburbs of Xinzheng, Qu Wu took Ji Zhi's carriage on a special detour in order to see Wu Mengyao in the tomb of the autumn moon.

Coming to the foot of the mountain, Qu Wu dismounted and came to the tomb of Qiuyue on the hill alone, and suddenly found that the tomb had been rebuilt, and the mound on the tomb had increased in height, and a wall built of stones was added along the mound to prevent the rain from washing away the soil on the mound.

The tombstone is also replaced by a neat rectangle from an irregular stone erected by itself, the center of the tombstone is written vertically with four big characters of the tomb of the autumn moon, and two lines of poetry are engraved on both sides of the stele: once the spring is full of red faces, the flowers fall and people die without knowing.

Qu Wu couldn't guess who had repaired the tomb, thinking that maybe it was the kindness of the owner of Yayun Pavilion, or the patient who had been cured by Wu Mengyao. No matter who it was, Qu Wu was silently grateful in his heart, and he was in a hurry to repair this tomb at that time.

Holding back his grief and trying not to let his tears fall, Qu Wu took out the sacrificial items he had brought, lit candles and incense sticks, knelt on his knees and bowed down, and then burned his homemade paper money.

After burning the paper money, Qu Wu took out five more 100 yuan and 1 2 yuan yuan, pressed a stone on the tombstone, and used the 52 yuan to express his most sincere love for Meng Yao.

After doing this, Qu Wu reluctantly walked down the mountain, came to the foot of the mountain, looked back again, waved goodbye to the tomb, and silently thought in his heart that he did not know when he would come to worship again. This place where Wu Mengyao is buried also buries his love.

Back on the horse, Qu Wu and Ji Zhi's carriage went all the way, and Qu Wu was speechless for a long time.

The two sisters, Chen Huan and Chen Le, were not happy at the moment, going to their uncle's house was obviously a choice they were not happy with, and Qu Wu and Ji Zhi didn't want to reveal to them that they were actually going to join their brother, and they might not have thought of this in their daydreams.

In the evening, the four of them finally arrived at the inn where Chen Shi was waiting.

Qu Wu and Ji Zhi handed over the horses and carriage to the shopkeeper, told him to tie the horses to the stables, and then led the two sisters into the inn lobby.

Chen Shi was sitting in the lobby waiting, and when he saw them enter the door, he immediately stood up, nodded to Qu Wu Jizhi first, and then raised his hands to greet his two younger sisters.

Qu Wu and Ji Zhi turned their heads, only to see that these two sisters saw their brother, they were stunned for a moment, and after coming back to their senses, they rushed over invariably, hugged Chen Shi left and right, and after a while, they all cried again, I don't know whether they were happy or too excited, which caused the people watching next to them to cry unconsciously.

For these two girls whose parents have passed away, the eldest brother is like a father, and the elder brother is the person they can rely on the most.

And for Chen Shi, the two younger sisters are also the closest and most concerned people in the world, and now that they can meet them so successfully, they are also silently comforting their parents in their hearts, and if they can see it in the sky, it is enough to be gratified.

After the three siblings came to their senses, Qu Wu beckoned everyone to sit down. Chen Shi had already ordered a meal at the inn, brought a bottle of liquor, asked the boss for three clean cups and poured wine, and the boss began to serve the food when he saw that they were all together.

The innkeeper was very curious when he saw that the wine they drank was crystal clear, and he picked up the glass wine bottle and looked at it, and then salivated and asked Chen Shi for a drink, and Qu Wu jokingly said to him, "It's okay to have a drink, add a pot of meat to us."

Unexpectedly, the innkeeper really brought a small pot of meat after a while, took a small cup and poured a glass of it, and said in surprise: "This wine is drunk by immortals, right?" It's so delicious, it's amazing. Where did you buy this wine? How come I've never seen one? ”

"You said it was immortal wine, of course you bought it from an immortal." Chen Shi said to him.

"Then tell me where is the immortal who sells this wine? I want to buy it. The boss took it seriously and asked.

"The immortals are in Gusu, and this wine is brought from Gusu." Ji Zhi told him.

"Huh? That's so far. The boss sighed.

Chen Huan and Chen Le heard the boss say that the wine was delicious, and they picked up their brother's cup and drank it each, so spicy that they stuck out their tongues: "It's so spicy, it's hard to drink to death." Chen Le said, and everyone laughed.

After eating, Chen Shi and the innkeeper took their two younger sisters upstairs, told them where to bathe, and handed over two bags of bathing towels and clothes, shoes and socks to the two of them, and explained that all the old clothes that had been changed were thrown away except for the new clothes in the morning.

After Chen Shi explained to them, he returned to the lobby, and the three of them discussed the arrangements for tomorrow's departure and went to rest.

Early the next morning, the five of them finished breakfast and drove to Zhuye, the two sisters were full of new clothes and new shoes and socks inside and out, and they were with their brothers, and there were delicious snacks, and they were so happy along the way, they chattered and asked this and that, and were full of curiosity about everything, and the three big men were deeply infected.

Near noon, the carriage arrived at Zhuno Castle.

Ji Zhi arrived at his home soon, he was very excited, he repeatedly asked everyone to stay in Zhuye for one night, and after lunch, you can play for a while, Qu Wu saw that he was sincere, and agreed, a few people first went to Ji Zhi's house to find an inn, and after the carriage and horses were settled, Qu Wu asked the innkeeper for a small cloth bag, and walked to his house with Ji Zhi.

Ji Zhi's home is considered a medium-sized family in Zhuye, with wooden walls and green tiles, and after Ji Zhi followed Qu Wu to work in Wu Kingdom, his carriage was handed over to his younger brother Ji Hui. Generally speaking, having a carriage has a basic income guarantee, and as long as you work hard, there is no problem in supporting your family, so his family's economic situation is not too bad in Zhuye. But it's definitely not much better, after all, the coachman is a commoner who belongs to the bottom of society, just better than a slave.

When a few of them approached, the door was closed, Ji Zhi stepped forward and knocked lightly, and after a while, the door opened, and a middle-aged man opened the door.

When this person saw that it was Ji Zhi, he was both surprised and happy, and immediately grabbed Ji Zhi's hand: "Zhi'er, are you back?" Seeing that you didn't come home on Chinese New Year's Eve, your mother and I were worried about dying, now it's okay, finally see you come back alive. As he spoke, tears welled up in the corners of Ji Zhi's father's eyes.

At this time, Ji Zhi's mother inside heard the voice, and hurriedly ran to the door, opened Ji Zhi's father with her hand, hugged Ji Zhi at once, and muttered in her mouth: "Child, my mother has been living like a year these days, seeing that you haven't come home, I'm worried about you." ”

"The child is not filial, which makes my father and mother worried." Ji Zhi said.

"You see, I also brought a few friends, they are partners who are working with the child, this is the boss of the child, Qu Wu, they all want to see you two elders." Ji Zhi said, introducing Qu Wu and them to his parents one by one.

Qu Wu and Chen Shi, the three siblings, hurriedly saluted Ji Zhi's parents, and Ji Zhi's parents hurriedly beckoned everyone into the house to talk.

After entering the house, Qu Wu took out a cloth bag and said to Ji Zhi's parents: "Uncle and aunt, the four of us came in a hurry and didn't go shopping, this little meaning should be our meeting gift." ”

Ji Zhi was anxious: "Boss, what are you doing here?" He knew it had to be gold.

Qu Wu said to Ji Zhi: "A little bit of meaning to the elders. ”

Ji Zhi's father took the cloth bag and thanked him repeatedly, but maybe he didn't think that it was gold inside, so he casually put the cloth bag aside.

Seeing Qu Wu say this, Ji Zhi couldn't refuse, and said to his parents: "Daddy, that pound of gold last time was also given by Mr. Qu Wu." ”

Hearing Ji Zhi say this, Ji Zhi's father realized what was in the cloth bag, hurriedly took the cloth bag in his hand, put it in his pocket, and said thank you to Qu Wu a few times in a row.

Ji Zhi's mother then went to the kitchen to make tea, and Ji Zhi's father said to call Ji Zhi's younger brother back and walked out.

"The house is too small, hehe. My parents are thrifty people, and I asked them to rebuild the house with the pound of gold you gave last time, but they didn't do it, saying that they wanted to keep it for me to marry a daughter-in-law. Ji Zhi said embarrassedly.

"You are also the eldest and not small, it's time to marry a daughter-in-law, or we can solve it in a few days, and we can still drink your wedding wine." Qu Wu said to him.

At this time, Ji Zhi's mother walked in with a teapot, and Qu Wu asked, "Auntie, is there anyone who is a matchmaker for Ji Zhi?" ”

When Ji Zhi's mother heard this, her face bloomed with a smile and said, "It's really there." His younger brother has shown him a good house, and he can use it as a new house when Ji Zhi settles down on his own. ”

"Huh? You've even arranged the house, huh? Ji Zhi was a little surprised.

"I haven't paid yet, I'll decide when you're optimistic. Now it's okay, he's back, and just after this thing is done, the two of us will be at ease. Ji Zhi's mother said.

"Peace of mind? When I marry my daughter-in-law, will you think about when to hold your grandson all day long, and you can rest assured? Ji Zhi said.

"This child, if you want to do things and don't want to take care of children, just because we are not too old, it is not a good thing to reduce the burden on you." Ji Zhi's mother said again.

As he was talking, he heard the sound of the door open, and Ji Zhi's father walked in with Ji Hui. After the two brothers Ji Zhi and Ji Hui greeted each other warmly, Ji Zhi introduced his younger brother to everyone one by one.

After talking for a while, Ji Hui said, "Let's go out to eat, I just set a table at the nearby restaurant Yokan." With that, he led everyone to the restaurant together.
