Volume 1 Yang Kanto Goes Chapter 12 Qingfeng Zeban
During the outing in Shengquan Town, Grandpa seemed to have returned to the life of a young master in his hometown in Jincheng County.
and Lu Yu hunted in the Kunlun Mountains, bathed and frolicked with the Murong sisters in the hot spring pools scattered among the mountains, and the attentive service of the Tocharian servants in the "Chang'an Yue" courtyard.
So after a few days, Grandpa had the illusion of being happy.
Since his journey to the west, especially in the past year or so in Murong Villa, he has slowly forgotten the pain of the prosperity of the past and the ruin of the country and the death of the family.
But the happiness that came suddenly still made him feel a little like a world away.
Master Murong Qiu let go of his two flower-like daughters to walk with them, and the thoughts of the owner of "Chang'an Fang" were also obvious.
He took a fancy to himself and Lu Yu, and had the heart to accept the two of them as his son-in-law.
Murong seniors exalted themselves like this, and he and Lu Yu couldn't pretend anymore.
Everyone in the world knows that the Murong family has long been a wealthy family in Khotan.
The efforts of several generations, through wealth, in-laws, and jade appreciation skills, opened up the road to communication between the upper class of Tocharian and the local noble families.
This is also the basis for an outsider to be able to establish himself in this distant kingdom.
Now, if a daughter of a family like Sister Murong marries a helper homeless who has nothing, even in the wild land of the Western Regions where she doesn't pay much attention to the right people, it will make people laugh, and it will even disgrace the honor of the entire family.
Wei Feng Youyun: Vote for me with a peach, and repay it with Qiong Yao.
What's more, the sisters Murong Qionglin and Yaobi are in their fragrant years, with both the graceful and graceful of Han women, and the care and affection of exotic girls.
What a pity to be able to marry such a woman in this life?
Although today is no longer as good as the style of Jincheng Yi's marriage, dozens of camels of gold beads and jade, and Yaluo lacquerware as a dowry or dowry, but there should still be etiquette.
To marry someone else's daughter as a white ding, it can't be said anyway, and it also disappoints Master Murong Qiu's kindness.
Although this old owner doesn't care about these red tape in the Han folk customs, he completely values their ability and talent.
So now it's time to say goodbye to Murong Villa and set up your own door.
Yi Linfeng, Grandpa Lu Yu, Murong Qionglin, and Grandma Yaobi had a lingering anecdote in the "Chang'an Month" in Shengquan Town, as grandchildren, they will not say much here.
The ancestors have long since passed away, leaving only me, the eldest grandson who is almost ancient, still sighing secretly in front of the bright night sky from time to time.
Shan said that grandpa and not long after they returned from the hot spring town, the two went to Chang'anfang in the city of Khotan kings together.
After listening to the euphemistic statement of the two people's resignation, Master Murong Qiu stroked his short beard and smiled: "The two virtuous nephews are too worried, hehe." Do a good job, first learn all the skills of the jade industry, and the old man can make decisions for you in other things, including starting a family! Hehe, you two can't live up to the old man's hard work! ”
Murong Qiu stood up as he spoke, made a posture of serving tea and sending off guests, and led the two juniors through the busy workshop to the backyard.
When the thunderbolts and thunderbolts who had already eaten and drunk enough saw the arrival of the masters, they immediately stepped on the iron hooves and snorted their noses, looking ready to go.
Although Master Murong was still smiling, he was unhappy with the boss in his heart.
I treat them sincerely and treat them as my own children, but these two bastard boys dare to come over and say goodbye!
It's really a dog with a conscience, and Master Mu has a feeling of being used and betrayed, and he is very disappointed and chilling.
Grandpa had already seen the change in Old Man Murong's mood, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Shi has always been kind to me, and my nephew always keeps it in mind. ”
"Since you still remember the old man's kindness, why do you want to leave Murong Villa, do you two want to return to Middle-earth?"
Old Master Murong Qiu's smile dissipated, and the anger on his face was mixed with a little doubt.
"I want to open an inn here in Khotan and pass on the ancestral business of our Jincheng Yi family. Uncle Shi, you also know that with the current Bai Ding body of me and Lu Yu, we can't climb up to your Murong family at all. ”
Grandpa didn't stop doing it, and he told his thoughts and thoughts.
"Master, that's the case, a few days ago, the young master and I went out hunting and met a caravan from the Guishan Kingdom that had returned from Chang'an. Listening to them, the Great Jin Dynasty of the Sima clan has built the capital in Jiankang again, and the north is now the world of the Hu people. Years of war and strife have subsided, and trade between the Han region and the countries of the Western Regions will definitely resume. The location of the royal city of Khotan is good, it is a good place to run an inn, and I hope that the lord will be perfect! Lu Yu added busily on the side.
"So that's what happened, hehe, the old man blames you!" A smile appeared on Old Master Murong Qiu's face again, and he happily stroked the short beard under his chin.
"The royal city of Khotan has been prosperous since ancient times, and when I heard the elders say that during the Han Dynasty, there were dozens of camel caravans every day to beat the ancient road on the shore of Qingfengze outside the city. In the hunchbacked sheepskin pocket, there are silk from the Han region, crystal agate from Western countries, jewelry and jade! The old man has not seen such a prosperous atmosphere for decades! ”
"Uncle Shi, you always agree, hehe! Thank you so much! There are many things to do to build an inn, and there are many things that still need your old support! Grandpa sincerely made a long bow to Murong Qiu's seniors.
"That's nature! Hehe, if you want money, you have to do your best! You two go back and prepare first, and the old man will also give you a good plan! Don't worry about the two virtuous nephews in terms of money, just withdraw it from the old man, hehe. Master Murong happily patted the "Boom" on the side and instructed his grandfather.
"Thank you Uncle Shi for your concern, we brought a little soft with us when we came here the year before last, and the expenses for building an inn should be enough. At present, the younger generation can't make up his mind about the location of the inn, and he needs Uncle Shi to make a decision for me. ”
Grandpa has always been very assertive, and the location of the inn can be handled by himself.
But he felt that it was impolite to completely reject Master Murong Qiu's kindness.
So I left this matter behind and let Master Murong make the decision on his behalf.
"Hehe, the old man is confused! How could the descendants of the Yi clan of Jincheng County go penniless to the end of the world? The location of the inn is easy to do! The old man had a piece of land in the early years of the Han Monument in Qingfengze Great Lake, which was about the same size as the old store in Jincheng County. This land is on the edge of the trade road, and it is the only way through the royal city of Khotan! In the future, the signboard of Yi's Inn will be hung, so why worry about no guests! There is a boundless poplar forest on the side, and it is very convenient to build wood, firewood, and water for the inn, and the old man will give it to you! ”
Master Murong Qiu generously stroked his palms and smiled, his grandfather's idea of preparing to build an inn coincided with him, which made him very pleased.
"It's great to build an inn on this land, you can make a price if you always make a price!" Grandpa didn't expect that Murong Qiu's predecessors recommended him to such a piece of feng shui treasure, which he was optimistic about but didn't dare to think about before, and he was overjoyed.
"What price does the family still talk about, you are too out-of-this! Hehe. ”
"Sir, you'd better make a price! I understand the temper of the young master, he will not accept this generous gift from you to us for nothing! This is called reactive power! Lu Yu inserted in at the right time and relieved his grandfather.
"You two donkey tempered offspring! Well, the market price of ten taels of gold! Tomorrow you will bring the money, and we will go to the government office to sign and change the title deed, and we will not owe each other from now on! ”
Master Murong Qiu replied with a hearty smile, he was already a little impatient.
After leaving the "Chang'an Fang", Grandpa and Lu Yu rode horses and galloped to the shore of Qingfengze Lake.
It's the height of summer, and the area around the lake is full of greenery and life.
When they first arrived, the old Tocharian shepherd and his flock, who had saved them from danger, were gone.
The bluestone monument engraved with the Han book of "Qingfeng Ze" still stands proudly on the roadside of the ancient road, looking at the Huanglong sand sea in the distance.
Seeing the sandy ground under the bluestone monument from afar, which had been covered by verdant green grass at this time, Grandpa's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
In the blink of an eye, the mounts of the two had come to the edge of the stone monument, turned over and dismounted, and no one had a word of superfluous nonsense, picked up the shovel and dug it in the place that he vaguely remembered.
Thanks to the Almighty Buddha, the sheepskin wrap has largely retained its original appearance, although it has rotted a little.
The package was lifted layer by layer, and a new bulging bag appeared in front of the two of them.
Grandpa put down the shovel with relief and wiped the beads of sweat from his face.
Five hundred taels of golden sand, Grandpa and Lu Yu's current net worth, it's time for them to put their use to use!
