"Grandma asked the matchmaker to set up a family affair for Wuwei in Khotan King City, and one of my tasks to go to Jiankang with the caravan this time is to take your second brother back to the Western Regions to complete the marriage."

A young man in white who passed by should be familiar with Brother Chang'an, and he smiled and saluted me, and I quickly bowed and returned the salute and watched the young man walk down the mountain.

"Big brother, you're not kidding me, are you! Our grandma is so sensible, how could she make such an absurd decision! Brother Chang said puzzled.

"Chang'an, why is it absurd to let your second brother go back to the Western Regions to get married? Self-cultivation and then Qi family, Qi family and then national governance, national governance and then world peace! But the words of the saints who worship you, the scholars of the scholars! ”

The third brother's questioning of his mother made me a little unhappy!

"Big brother, you misunderstood me. Hehe, the second brother came to tell me last time that his Taixue will be completed this summer, and he can become an official after passing the imperial court's economic and policy test, or at least he can seek a position as a county lieutenant in the counties south of the Yangtze River. At this time, he returned to the Western Regions to get married, and he traveled back and forth for at least a year, wouldn't it delay his future! My mother took great pains to send us to Middle-earth to study, not just for this day? ”

Seeing my angry face, Brother Chang'an hurriedly stepped forward to salute and smiled.

"The Southern Great Jin Dynasty elects officials and gives priority to filial piety and honesty, even if Wu Wei takes a year off and returns to his hometown to serve his mother, the government should be gracious. If you don't even approve this request, it doesn't matter if this official in the south is not right! You two little babies don't plan to go back to the Western Regions for the rest of their lives! ”

Thinking of the tragic situation of my mother, Mrs. Khotan, who missed her second brother and third brother and couldn't sleep at night, and didn't think about tea and dinner, I took out my brother's posture and made a categorical decision.

"The eldest brother is serious, Chang'an has dreamed of returning to Qingfengze all these years and reuniting with his mother and brother, what a joy it is! I can't live up to my grandma's kindness! ”

Speaking of sadness, Chang'an, the third brother who was still a child, lowered his shoulders and burst into tears.

I couldn't help but feel hot in my heart, and hugged my cute little brother tightly in my arms.

"Big brother, whose second sister-in-law is this second sister-in-law that my grandmother gave me in the photo? Have I ever seen one? After calming down, Chang'an asked with a childlike smile.

"Guess what, the little girl of Wangcheng's relatives' family, give you a range! Hey! ”

I sat down on the stone steps next to me, and set up the dragon gate with my third brother in a childlike state.

"A woman from a relative's house? There are four or five cousins who are the same age as the second brother, and it can't be cousin Langor! ”

Guessing this, even Brother Chang couldn't help but burst into laughter.

When he was a child, in Qingfengze's hometown, the dark and fat cousin Languoer always liked to bully him, so Brother Chang'an still remembers it vividly.

"You're right, Chang'an! Hahaha! "I'm too happy to be myself.

"If that's the case, the second brother won't go back with you if he is killed!" The kind-hearted brother Chang said worriedly.

"The order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, this matter is beyond him!" I gloated.

"The second brother is full of wealth and grace, and his grandfather bought him a huge grange mansion outside Jiankang City many years ago, and then it is a bright future for the new official! The beautiful women of the high-ranking officials and scholars in the south of the Yangtze River flocked to him, but now his mother asked him to return to his hometown to marry his cousin Langol, who was like Dongshi. Hehe, it's really sad! ”

Chang'an was afraid of provoking me unpleasantly, so he muttered with a wry smile.

"Our family still has a grange in Jiankang City?" I asked happily.

After passing through Qishan Racecourse and Yizhai at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, I am no longer surprised that my grandfather bought land and bought real estate in Jiankang.

Happily, after the caravan arrives in Jiankang, we can still live in our own house like Yi Zhai, isn't it a great pleasure on the way to business!

"Yes, I've been there twice, surrounded by clear water, pavilions and pavilions. The size of the manor and the luxurious furnishings are comparable to the royal palaces of Khotan! Big brother, how can grandpa make so much money in business! ”

Chang An exclaimed puzzledly, as if this manor had nothing to do with him.

"Third brother, it seems that grandpa is determined to let you and Wuwei stay in Middle-earth, and has completed the family business for the two of you in advance."

Thinking that I will be separated from my two younger brothers in the future, I have a little sadness in my heart.

"The second brother has the world in mind, and with this grange industry, he also has the capital to talk to those wealthy families. In the future, I will return to our Qingfengze Academy, open a school to teach and teach, and be able to accompany my relatives, wouldn't I be at ease! ”

Brother Chang said with a smile, I didn't expect to have such a sense of escapism at such a young age, and I was already a little worried about him.

"Chang'an, how old are you, don't have such an idea, live up to what you have learned in your life! We men should have the ambition to make contributions and shine in history! ”

"Big brother, maybe I've been in the academy for too long, I just came out of my academy back then, and I entered the Luoyi Academy thousands of miles away, and I haven't grown up to be full of master's energy! Hehe! ”

Chang An sat down on the steps beside me and laughed self-deprecatingly.

"Don't worry, come with me a few times in a few years and you'll know the joy of this mortal world! Ha ha! Wine and beauty, heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, how fast! ”

Compared with me, the pure and virtuous Chang'an is simply a god who does not eat the fireworks of the world, and if he continues to study like this, won't it hurt my lovely third brother.

After I was ready to go down the mountain, I told my grandfather about the idea of taking Brother Chang back to the Western Regions.

People should come to this world for the sake of happiness and knowledge, and those who are born to do nothing and retreat from the world are not the way of saints.

At this time, there was a melodious sound of playing the piano like flowing water in the mountains and forests in front of the academy.

"Oops! I forgot that there was a piano exercise in the academy this afternoon! Big brother, I can't be with you! After the piano exercise, I will take a few days off with my husband, go down the mountain to find you, and take you to visit Luoyang City! ”

After speaking, Chang'an, like a boy who was afraid of being punished by his husband, ran back to the academy and took out his guqin, holding a piece of reed futon under his arm, and then went out and hurried to the qin club in the mountains and forests.

I was very curious, and followed him to the place of piano in the woods.

It was originally a flat pear orchard, the afternoon sun was shining, the pure pear blossoms were about to bloom, and the spring color of the garden had arrived early.

But I saw dozens of schoolchildren of the same age as the third brother Chang'an, dressed in white, sitting neatly and orderly under the pear tree, following an elder who was immortal, playing an ancient song of Middle Earth.

Brother Chang'an was afraid that he would be discovered by Mr., so he quietly walked to the bottom of a thick pear tree in the back row, set up the guqin, quickly sat cross-legged, and followed the rhythm of the piano exercise to join the harmony of the piano children.

Fortunately, Mr. Qin Master was getting carried away and did not find Yi Changan, a late disciple.

The sound of the guqin in the pear orchard sometimes resembles a big river rushing, sometimes like gurgling water, sometimes going straight up to the sky, and then like hovering in the clouds.

is like the monologue of the Yiren on the water side, and it seems that the old people who have been reunited for a long time are talking about wine.

In this spring and autumn heavy place on the shore of Yishui on the outskirts of Luoyi, listen to such ancient songs and look at the fertile fields under the mountain.

I seem to see the savage farmers ploughing in the food town of the king of the Zhou Dynasty under the Jingtian system, and the princes of the Luoyang City Beacon Fire Opera Princes and Bao Xi.

There are also those ancient sages of the Han family who accepted the canonization of the king of Zhou and went to Jianghan, Wuyue, Yanjin, Qinlong and other wasteland frontiers to colonize and educate the barbarian kings and rituals, and rode their horses to leave Haojing.

Just as I was leaning against the pine and cypress trees on the hillside and dreaming about the sky, I saw my grandfather and them walking out of the mountain gate with the enthusiasm of the college inspectors, so I hurried forward to meet them.

"Jincheng, the old gentleman has approved the January holiday in Chang'an, go to Jiankang with us, and you three brothers can also get together together!" After seeing me, Uncle Su happily reported the good news.

"That's great! A month's vacation is too short, preferably a year, and the third brother of Chang'an can also go back to his hometown! My mother has missed her for a long time, and her young son is about to become depressed and sick! ”

When I heard that Brother Chang'an had a holiday, I was overjoyed.

"Oh, the years are making people old! The old man's three grandchildren were all yellow-mouthed children when they parted, and they all became adults in the blink of an eye! ”

Grandpa stroked his long gray-white beard, and the regret in his tone seemed to be greater than the relief of his grandchildren growing up.

"Brother, I didn't say you, when the two babies of Chang'an and Wuwei were so young, you sent them to Middle-earth! As a result, the children and our elders suffered from both ends, so why bother! ”

My grandfather, who has always been strict with the teachings of his three grandchildren, has such a warm feeling, which touches me very much.

"Master Wei, looking at Chang'an and Wuwei today, they are already Yushu in the wind and full of economy, and they have become the dragon and phoenix among people, and they finally live up to the hard work of the master! Ha ha! ”

Uncle Su stroked his palms and smiled, when the two old men had a dispute between grandpa and grandfather, Uncle Su would always mediate like a spring breeze, and no one would be offended, and he would be convinced.

This kind of way of life is by no means something that can be learned in a day, and it is necessary to have a heart of goodness and justice to have such cultivation.

"Hey! Old Su! When I sent my two grandchildren to Luoyang, the original intention was to preserve some of the bloodline of the Han family for our Yi family! Now the old man has finally figured it out, and all the places with peace of mind are hometowns! Hehe! ”

There was a trace of remorse in Grandpa's tone, but the hearts of Chang'an and Wuwei were no longer as good as they were back then!

Back then, it was their grandfather who forced them to come to Middle-earth to study, but after five years of cold windows, the two babies may have become familiar with the customs and customs of Middle-earth, but they no longer have too much nostalgia for the Qingfengze homeland in the Western Regions.
