Chapter Ninety-Eight: Homecoming
A light rain in early spring was like a silk mist, and God was extremely patient with it. The so-called green hats, green clothes, and oblique wind and drizzle do not need to return.
In front of the Yunjia family, there is now a famous bazaar in ten miles and eight townships, and there is a big market every seven days. The drizzle of gadfly could not extinguish the enthusiasm of the farmers to make a fortune and trade, and the street was crowded with people shouting and selling. Those who sell fish and meat sell cloth and jewelry. Some of the men carried the uneaten grain with their livestock, and some of the women carried baskets with hens' eggs. I can't afford to eat it at home, so it's good to change some salt.
As for those who lead the oxen and the sheep. All of them were driven to an open field outside Zhuangzi, and the huge cow said. The Yun family is all female dependents and doesn't like to smell the fishy smell of livestock.
Someone came up to inquire about the price of the fresh vegetables taken out by the servants of the Yun family. At this time in previous years, I had never seen green vegetables. But Qingming, can vegetables grow in the ground? In the past, the Yun family's vegetables were sold cheaply, and the court didn't know what was wrong, so they had to take away Yunhou's land. It made the Yun family a greenhouse, and a small shed. Otherwise, the green vegetables should be cheaper now.
A merchant carried a load containing rough jewelry from Xianyang City. If you want to be fine here, cheap jewelry is the best to sell. The women who rushed to the market divided the merchant inside and outside into three layers, and did not let go of it when they picked it up. A pair of eyes stared at his man, and the man couldn't resist the burning eyes. Reaching into his arms, he took out the copper coins with body temperature, and counted them one by one to the merchant with a smile on his face.
Picking up the warm copper coin, the merchant wrapped the jewelry and handed it over. By the way, I gave some rouge gouache that people in the city don't like to use, maybe these country women use it and will buy it next time.
Since the Shang Dynasty changed the law. Great Qin has always attached great importance to military and agriculture. It's very repulsive to businessmen. Yunjia Zhuangzi proved it with facts. The law of economics cannot be defeated by sticks. The enthusiasm of the bankers to make a fortune is unstoppable. They have devoted themselves to the amateur activities of buying and selling.
A fierce-looking butcher wielding a machete in his hand. Half of the fat pig became several large pieces that were not related to each other, and there was a flash of knife light. A piece of fat was wrapped in lotus leaves and stuffed into the lady's vegetable basket.
"Four cents, it's best for this fat man to go home and refine oil. Listening to the Yun family chef, the oil shuttle is the most delicious. Give it to the man in your family to eat, and keep it and don't beat you again. The butcher smiled at a burly fat woman. Ignoring the skinny husband beside the woman.
"Phew......! Don't coax the old lady. Why don't you sell this big bone. The old lady is going home to make soup and drink today, and the baby at home is the long body. Drink some big bone broth, the most long. The burly fat woman didn't appreciate it at all, and pointed to a large piece of her spine and choked.
"Hey, hey! This big bone was left for the little white of the Hou family. My boy went into the mountains some time ago, but he didn't expect to meet a wolf, how fierce the hungry wolf is in winter. If it weren't for Xiaobai's appearance, my kid's life and death would be unpredictable. This bone is my Xie Yi for Xiaobai!
We are Zhuang households, just talk about our conscience! You say yes! "Say it. Wiped his hands with a rag. wrapped a large piece of fleshy backbone with lotus leaves and sent it to the door of Yun's house.
"Hey...... Give meat to someone else! Xiaobai is sick. I haven't eaten for three days. The Yun family guard said worriedly to the butcher.
Hearing the guards say this, the butcher was even more worried. Thinking of Xiaobai's life-saving grace, when he went back, he chopped a large piece of cheek into pieces, and held it in lotus leaves and sent it to the guards.
"This brother, Xiaobai is sick, and I don't have any ideas. These two catties of rice are Xiaobai's favorite food on weekdays. You take it back and let the cook steam it for Xiaobai to eat, and you can eat two bites if you can. I can't eat it, and it's good to make buns. A piece of my heart! β
The butcher's face was full of meat, but he spoke very sincerely. Such kindness can't be brushed off, and the guards ended up walking into the cloud mansion.
Xiaobai lay on the bed weakly, with a thick felt cushion under his body. The fat belly naan fell together, and the aqua blue eyes were half-squinted and pretended.
The beard still hadn't grown, and the little girl knelt down in front of the collapse with tears in her eyes. The sausage he loves to eat is sent to Xiaobai's mouth one by one. But Xiaobai didn't smell it, and it was already polite to slap Xiaoya's face.
Grandma Yun stood in front of the couch on crutches, complaining vigorously. "I don't know if I learn well, my beard is cut casually? Xiaobai has not eaten for three days, and if he starves to death, watch your brother come back. How do you explain to him! β
Hearing Grandma Yun say this, the little girl cried out with a "wow". She also likes Xiaobai very much, but her head doesn't know why for a while. teamed up with Zhao Ping'er to cut Xiaobai's beard, don't look at Xiaobai as just a leopard. But the weight of the Yun family is really heavy, and it takes more profits than Xiaoya. There is a special cook to cook every day, and he lives like an uncle.
"I don't think it's as simple as cutting a beard. Xu is thinking about Brother Yue, and this matter is rushed together. Count the days, it's time for Brother Yue to come back. When the aunt saw the girl's hand reproaching, she hurriedly helped to play the round.
"The family's business has stopped, and Ji Chang was also arrested by the Xiangbang Mansion. In these years, why is it so difficult to have a peaceful birthday! The aunt wiped her tears, and the women had nothing else to think about. An Ansheng lived a good life, and originally hoped that he could live a good life when he came to Qin from Zhao State. Who would have thought that after arriving in the Qin State, it would still be a day of fear. Can't the wife live peacefully for two days in these years?
"What are you crying about, when the men of the Yun family are all killed in battle. Our family has not collapsed, and now Yue'er has fiefdom and fertile land. What are we afraid of? Now it's not peaceful, they all stay in the Zhuangzi and don't allow anyone to enter the city. The pressure of life made the grandmother return to the strong housewife.
Xiaobai has no other problems except that he eats too fat, and as for cutting his beard and following up on food, it is simply a matter of incompatibility. Since beating Yunyue left, Xiaobai has not been as happy as before. When I arrived at Zhuangzi, I no longer walked around Zhuangzi every day as before. When you meet a big tree, you have to soak in urine.
It's too fat, and the room can't move. I can only walk around the yard, and I often bang on the door because I don't have a beard.
Seeing that Xiaobai was not eating well, the whole family was so anxious. Yun Yue's good family to Xiaobai is obvious to all, and in the most difficult days, it was Xiaobai who helped Yun Yue hunt to keep the family to this day. The veterinarians within a radius of dozens of miles were invited, but none of them could say why.
He has treated cattle and horses. But they didn't treat a beast like a leopard, and several guys didn't dare to come forward. I am afraid that Xiaobai will come over and be disfigured.
A cool wind blew into the house with rain, and Xiao Bai's half-squinted eyes suddenly opened, and her aqua blue eyes shone with fine light. The nose is short, and the breath seems to catch the smell in the air.
"Poo" stood up suddenly, and his round body seemed to maintain the strength of a leopard. knocked the little girls into a squeak and screamed, and went all the way.
There were people in the house turning over on their backs, and the old woman was stunned for a moment. immediately ordered: "Da Niu, go and see if Yue'er is back." β
Xiaobai galloped all the way and startled the horses in the stable. scared away the big yellow dog in the yard, and a group of chickens that were looking for food scattered and fled.
Running out of the Yun family's mansion, the guards wanted to stop him, but he was pounced on by Xiaobai. Suddenly I saw a leopard, and the street immediately turned upside down. The screams and shouts rang out in one voice, interspersed with the shrill howls of the women.
The butcher who had been lifted off the meat stall looked at Xiaobai, who was jumping around, and said to the guard who was rubbing his waist: "Look at it, just say that my family is good." Xiaobai was immediately sick after eating, and the tiger was bitten to death by looking at this hundredfold spirit. As he spoke, he looked quite complacent. It seems that Xiaobai's rejuvenation is related to his two-pound face.
The huge oxen ran out and chased after him, and saw a team coming from the road in the distance. Hurriedly shouted to the guards: "Master Hou is back!" It's Hou Ye who is back! Hurry up and clean the streets, open the gates! Let everyone come out to greet them! Hurry back and report to the old woman. The huge ox carried one of the servants and kicked the fellow in the ass, urging the boy to hurry up and report the news.
The cool rain hit his face, and the melancholy mood seemed to be much better. Looking back at the carriage, it seemed that Wusun Jichang was still sleeping. More than 20 days of torture almost squeezed out a man who was cast in iron. The weakened Wusun Jichang has been sleeping since he left the Xiangbang Mansion. No matter how bumpy the road was, the shouting never stopped.
The Yun family's house in the city left only a few servants to clean, and the rest followed back to Zhuangzi. Yun Yue returned all the land and houses that he had received some time ago. Since Zhuangzi is now returning to himself, what are he still sending people to do under the fence.
Besides, Pingliang is also short of people, and it is definitely unreliable to expect King Zhuang Xiang. Emperors are no different from ordinary people, and sometimes they brag and fool around. He said that the migrants went to the Yunyue fiefdom, which could be ignored as some kind of human exhaust.
Wei Fang was left in Xianyang to deal with unfinished business. Maybe there are still unfinished matters between him and the Prime Minister's house, after all, Wei Fang's wife and children are still living in the guest house provided by LΓΌ Buwei. Every month, he also receives firewood and rice supplies at Lu's house.
The Yunjia shop was packaged and sold to Changping Jun, and in terms of price, it can be regarded as half sold and half sent. The Empress Dowager Huayang's favor can be great, and she must return it. In addition to showing loyalty, being able to come up with something tangible is also considered a vote.
As soon as he arrived at the mouth of Zhuangzi, a vicious leopard pounced. Frightened, Yun Yue raised his front hooves high and stepped on a few feet in the air before he stood still. If it weren't for Yun Yue grasping the reins, maybe Yun Yue would have been lifted off her body directly.
"Xiaobai ......" saw Xiaobai, and Yun Yue remembered the years in the mountains. So all the hardships and hardships have come, and now what is this setback? (To be continued......)
