Chapter Twenty-Eight: Mo Yingchun/Guangcan
The spring breeze is green and the shore of Huaiyang, and the clear water of Longhu Lake is as green as blue.
Spring is coming, and the season of revival has arrived. The weeping willows on the shore of Longhu Lake, the green grass shoots, the spring is full of joy, and the spring heart is naturally not budding.
Nearly two months are out of reach, and the itchy days are finally about to pass, and February 23 is the third anniversary of Xie's father's death.
At this point, Xie Yi and Du Shi can carry out all kinds of entertainment activities after the expiration of their filial piety, and there are no taboos on marriage.
There will be no unfilial piety in a little sweet thing, this is what sister-in-law Du Shi cares about the most, and now it is as she wishes.
Then there is no excuse for the previous agreement.
After the Shangyuan Festival, under the construction of Lu Tong, the Xie family finally added a few servants, such as the old man who guarded the door, a few guards and maids. In addition, I also deliberately found a middle-aged woman who is very experienced with children to serve as Xiaoman's nanny to take care of daily life.
The little girl used to live with her brother and sister-in-law, but in the future, she ...... It's somewhat inconvenient. Although the little girl sleeps soundly at night, it will be embarrassing if she is woken up by something and sees some pictures that are inappropriate for children.
As the appointed date approached, especially after Xiaoman was taken away by the nanny, the time spent alone with Xie Yi increased, and Du Shi became more and more embarrassed, and his face often had shyness.
Maybe she still has some worries, but she can't open her mouth, maybe it's groundless, maybe it's ......
In short, some things may be predestined, simply avoid it, and when it comes, maybe it will go with the flow!
……
On February 17, the Xie family prepared a grand tomb sweeping and sacrificial activity.
Mourning his parents and the two deceased brothers, although there is no emotional connection, after all, this body is related to the deceased family.
It is because Xie Yi has to be a little sad, and his sister-in-law Du Shi is the most sad, crying so much that the pear blossoms bring rain, I feel pity. It can be seen that Lao Xie and his wife treated this "daughter-in-law" quite well.
Xiaoman also sobbed a lot, the orphan without a father and mother is really pitiful, but she has been cared for by her brother and sister-in-law since she was a child, and her life and psychological trauma are very small. In addition, he is still young and does not understand blood relationships, so he is not very sad. Sobbing is also more often affected by brothers and sisters-in-law, and is infected by sadness.
Xie Yi did not forget to say hello to his father and mother, especially his second brother, and promised to take good care of his sister-in-law and sister Yunyun. Of course, the meaning of this "care" is very broad, and there is also a specific meaning, and I believe that they can fully understand it if they have underground knowledge.
After all, such situations have existed since ancient times, and the civilized society of later generations is also reasonable and legal, and the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, which is also for the inheritance of the incense of the old Xie family.
On the day of death, few relatives and friends come to worship. It's just that the father of the Xie family may be a single generation of people, and there are not many close relatives who are close by blood, only a few distant relatives who are also members of the Xie clan come. There are also neighbors in the streets and alleys, or old friends of Xie's father.
This is still up to Xie Yi to get back the old mansion and no longer lose the face of the family, otherwise I am afraid that no one will show up, after all, not many people are willing to get involved with the prodigal son who is addicted to gambling.
That's fine, fortunately, they didn't know that the popular "Qionghua Brew" in Jianghuai had half of Xie Yi's shares, otherwise I don't know how many people would come to the door to recognize their relatives.
One person ascends to heaven, and the seven aunts and eight aunts come to the door to climb relatives, which is also a great feature of human affection in ancient times. The rich have distant relatives in the mountains, and the poor have no one to ask in the downtown area, which is absolutely true.
As a filial son, Xie Yi was rarely allowed to entertain relatives and friends, these were all arranged by Lu Tong secretly, properly and thoughtfully, Xie Yi didn't worry much at all.
After sending off his relatives and friends in the evening, Lu Tong appeared and said with a smile: "Gongzi Xie, the death of Weng has been properly honored, and the tomb will be paid at four o'clock in the future." ”
"There's the proprietor of Lao Lu to help with it."
"Master Xie, don't be polite." Lu Tong said politely, and then changed his words and said: "The porcelain vase from Yuezhou has been shipped, and it has been filled according to your proposal, and the first batch will be shipped to Luoyang for sale." ”
"Luoyang?" Shouldn't Chang'an be the first choice? Xie Yi couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Lu Tong said with a smile: "Gongzi Xie, Luoyang will be more lively than Chang'an this year." ”
"How?"
Lu Tong said proudly: "The old man got the news that His Majesty the Emperor has been touring the Eastern Capital this year, and he has been on his journey for many days, maybe this will already be in Luoyang." ”
"You're well-informed!" Xie Yi praised: "If this is the case, then Luoyang will indeed be lively for a while, then Luoyang first, and then Chang'an...... Neither thing can be taken lightly. ”
Lu Channel: "Okay, a batch of ordinary wine was transported to Luoyang a few days ago, and celadon wine was shipped over." In addition, the workshops in Luoyang and Chang'an will also do their best. ”
"Hmm!" Xie Yi nodded and said: "I don't have to give me the income from selling wine in spring and summer, as the capital, expand the wine shop and sales channels first." ”
Lu Tong was overjoyed in his heart, it was indeed right to cooperate with someone like Xie Yi, and immediately smiled: "Yes, but the old man will keep the accounts and hand them over to Gongzi Xie for viewing at that time." ”
"Okay, Lu Dongzhu let it go, I can trust it."
"The old man will live up to Mr. Xie's trust." Lu Channel: "By the way, there is something to beware of. ”
"What?"
Lu Tong lowered his voice and whispered: "There is news from the Assassin Mansion that Lord Assassin Shi quietly went out of the city the day before yesterday and has not returned to this day. ”
Hou Junji quietly left the city and left Chenzhou? Where did he go? Xie Yi couldn't help but be surprised.
On second thought, Chenzhou belongs to Henan Province and is not far from Luoyang. coincided with the emperor's visit to the eastern capital, and Hou Junji disappeared, will there be any connection between the two?
Lu Tong worried: "In the past few months, the Zheng family's business has been bleak, and they have always been resentful, and they had to settle down before. But now, Helan's guards are gone, and Master Thorn Shi is not there, so this is empty... Will the Zheng family ...... Zheng Bin is a ruthless and sinister villain. ”
It's really a problem, the Zheng family is strong and wealthy, although it is known as a famous family of poetry and rites, but in fact, what dirty things can't be done?
If Hou Junji only left temporarily and didn't care, the Zheng family would not dare to act rashly. But if you are transferred out of Chenzhou here, then you really have to be careful.
I remember that Hou Junji had an expedition to Gaochang in history, and Xie Yi was not sure of the specific time, but a military general would not serve as a local civil official for a long time, which was already a special circumstance. Now that he is leaving, if he really goes to Luoyang to meet the emperor, the change of position may not be far away.
You have to plan ahead!
Xie Yi said softly: "Don't worry for the time being, but Lu Dongzhu's news is smart, please also inquire closely about the news of Luoyang and the Assassin's Mansion." ”
"Yes!"
"Don't worry, when necessary, we can leave Chenzhou and change our residence." As a modern person, Xie Yi does not have a love for his homeland. Lu Tong is not from Chenzhou, and he is also a businessman running around, and he has long been used to leaving his hometown, and there is no big problem.
That being said, Xie Yi still had a sense of crisis. In the powerful society of Datang, it is really not possible to have no power and no backing, and it is a last resort to refuse Helan Chushi's olive branch before.
Next, is it time to find another way and plan for another way? People have no immediate worries, but they must have long-term concerns!
Dad named himself "Yi", but it is difficult to be as good as his name, whether in the future or in the Tang Dynasty, it is not easy to live freely!
Forget it, I don't want to think so much for the time being.
The death date has passed, the period of filial piety has expired, and the promise has reached the time of fulfillment. Spring has come, how can we live up to the brilliant spring/light......
