Lee In-woo recounts the past

Three generations remember kindness

Just as he was immersed in a beautiful vision, the housekeeper came to report that the businessman surnamed Li, who had come many days ago, asked to see him. He remembered and commanded, "Please meet in the living room." ”

This man was in his thirties, well-looking, well-dressed, and well-behaved, and did not seem to be an ordinary small trader.

The person who came introduced himself was surnamed Li, his name was Renyou, he was a native of Yingzhou, and he was doing silk and tea business in Yingzhou in Songjin.

Han Yanxuan said with a smile, it seems that Boss Li's business is not small.

Li Renyou replied: Let Han Ye laugh, it's okay. Han Ye, the villain's rash visit this time is a bit abrupt, I hope you will forgive me.

It's okay, Boss Li has something to say.

Han Ye, the villain is here to repay his kindness today.

You and I are not related, this is the first time we have met, where does the grace come from?

Han Ye, listen to the little one slowly.

During the Jingkang period, the Jin soldiers invaded the Central Plains on a large scale. Everywhere he went, he burned, killed and looted, and thousands of Lebanese people died in the fighting. Thirty miles north of Luoyang City, Xijing, there is a Lijiazhuang, more than half of the more than 1,000 casualties in the village, and the rest have fled. In an instant, a good village was reduced to rubble and ruins.

Among the fleeing crowd, there was a teenage boy named Li Xuanzhu, yes, he was my grandfather. His mother hanged herself for being raped by the Jinmen, and his father picked up a hoe and smashed the thief open, but he fell under the blade of another horseman.

The lonely little bolt pillar fled with his uncle's family to Bianliang, Tokyo. Unexpectedly, a few days later, he was separated from his uncle's family outside Bianliang City.

Count nine cold winters, wind and snow. The small bolt pillar did not get a drop of water for two days and two nights, and his clothes were thin, so he fainted beside the official road outside the city wall.

That night, a team of men and horses came out of the capital. The groom who was driving the car found him, and an old man in his sixties got out of the sedan chair and stretched out his hand to try, but the person was still alive. Immediately asked the groom to carry him into the sedan chair, cover him with a quilt, feed him some water, and give him some dry food to eat. In this way, the little bolt came to life, and after that, he followed them to Huzhou.

Only later did I know that the old man's name was Han Jiayan, who married the third daughter of Shenzong, the princess of Qi Kingdom, and worshiped the princess of Ma Duwei. The fourth son, Han Cheng, served in Huzhou, and learned that the Jin soldiers had invaded the south and Bianjing was in danger, so he took his parents to take refuge in Jiangnan overnight.

This horse captain is Han Yanzhou's grandfather, and Han Cheng, the Baoning Military Envoy and Huzhou Regiment Training, is Han Yanxuan's father, who was less than 20 years old at the time.

Speaking of this, Li Renyou was emotional and burst into tears, Master Han, if it wasn't for the old lady Han to come to the rescue, my grandfather would have frozen to death in another country, and naturally there is no good life for Li Renyou's family now.

Han Yanxuan was also quite moved, oh, I see, but I never heard my grandmother and father talk about it. He asked curiously:

So what happened?

Since then, Xiao Zhuzhu has been on an errand in the Han Mansion and doing some chores. Old lady Han died three years later, and Xiao Zhuzhu cried so much that he was going to guard the tomb of his old man. After another five years, the little bolt pillar grew up, and the fourth grandfather was going to Yingzhou to work, and seeing that he was loyal and reliable, he brought him to Yingzhou as a housekeeper in the house.

After arriving in Yingzhou, the fourth grandfather did a good job, and Zhizhou praised him for his talent and promoted him to join the army. Unexpectedly, there was an impeachment of the imperial history, and the situation was unstable, and the fourth grandfather's family returned to Huzhou. At this time, Li Xuanzhu had married a wife and had children. took the initiative to ask for the fourth grandfather to take care of the home, so he stayed in Yingzhou.

In the winter of this year, Li Xuanzhu saw that the New Year was approaching, so he exchanged the rent collected for copper coins and sent them to Huzhou, and the fourth grandfather told him: They will not go to Yingzhou again, and the land under his family's name, except for leaving ten acres for Li Xuanzhu, the rest will be sold. According to the instructions of the fourth grandfather, Li Xuanzhu sold not a single acre left, plus the money from the mansion, all of them were sent to Huzhou.

Later, the two lost contact. Ten years ago, Li Shuzhu was bedridden and felt that his days were numbered. He called his son and grandson to the head of the bed, and instructed weakly:

O child, as a human being, you should know how to repay your kindness. I think my Li family is deeply favored by the kindness of the Han family, and I have not been able to repay it so far, I am uneasy in my heart, the Han family saved my life, raised me, gave me a family and a career, and let me take care of the family and nursing home, these kindnesses are higher than the sky and deeper than the sea, and it is not an exaggeration for my Li family to be a cow and a horse for generations. Iron hammer, do you know that in the year when King Hailing Wanyan Liang invaded the south, Yingzhou also fell, and our family assets were burned down by the Jinren, where did we get the money to rebuild the new house?

Li Tiezhu replied, Dad, I know, it was a pair of large-flowered porcelain vases.

Where did the big flower porcelain vase come from?

It was left by Han Si's grandfather's family, but we gave the money.

Yes, when I sold the house for the Han family, the pair of blue and white vases with entwined branches and lotus patterns, I was reluctant to leave alone, I knew that the things belonged to the Han family, and I couldn't swallow them alone with my conscience, so I asked the connoisseur, took out all the savings of the family, and handed them over to the Han family together with the money from the sale of the house.

Jin Bing burned down the house and soon retreated. We've got to get by.

That's when I remembered the big vases buried in the ground. The official of the county government knew the goods and knew that it was produced by the official kiln of the Tang Dynasty, and bought it for a thousand copper coins. At that time, I only gave it to the Han family for 500 yuan.

Later, life got better, I once went to Huzhou Hanfu, and wanted to double the money, but I couldn't find it, so the Han family moved to the capital.

Iron hammer, people die, debts can't die. After I die, you go to the capital to look for it, remember, the benefactor is called Han Cheng, a descendant of King Han Wei, and the wife of the fourth master is surnamed Wu, which is said to be the sister-in-law of Empress Wu of Emperor Gaozong. What the next generation is called, I don't know, and I haven't seen it. If the fourth master and his wife are gone, they will find their sons and grandsons, and within five years, they will find 5,000 yuan for others, and ten years later, they will find 10,000 yuan for others.

The hammer can't be found, Renyou continues to look for it, and he will definitely find it.

According to his grandfather's instructions, his father Li Tiehammer searched for many years but did not find it. Last winter, the old man suddenly fell ill and told him about it again before he died.

Han Yanxuan asked with concern: "How old was Ling Zun Immortal when he died?"

Lee In-woo replied sadly: At the age of fifty.

Han Yanxuan slapped the table, it's a pity, it's a pity.

Li Renyou said: "Han Ye's matter is like this, he came here today to pay off the debts of his ancestors."

Han Yan said carefully: "I believe that what you said is true, Great-Ancestor Zhong Xiangong has repeatedly taught the descendants of the Han family to have a benevolent heart and do more things to accumulate virtue and do good deeds. Since I can remember, my Han family has not been short of money, and I don't value money very much. I've really never heard of it. The two parents are no longer there, but fortunately, there is a nurse in her seventies in Huzhou, I sent someone to ask, if she approves, we will discuss it.

The money, I've brought.

You can't take it if you bring it.

Then, there are some local products from Yingzhou, you can always take it.

Souvenirs are harvested, but not much.
