Xu Yuanzuo knew from a very young age that Chongming Island was the third largest island in China, second only to Taiwan Island and Hainan Island in terms of area.

It wasn't until Xia Wei collected some books, including a map of Chongming County in the Zhengde period, that he knew that Chongming at this time had not completed a silkworm-like figure, but was divided by waterways, showing a sandbar.

According to the naming habits of the people of the time, it is mostly commensurate with the characteristics of sandbanks and the word "sand". For example, there are many residents with the surnames Yao and Liu, so they call it Yao Liu Sha; If the terrain is high, it is called Gaomingsha; There are also Pingyang sand, Ma'an sand, and boat sand...... The list goes on.

The Shen family's mansion is located in Changsha, which is typically named after its shape, which is a long and narrow sandbar. Although geographically, the Shaji Islands and the Yanji Islands are distinct, but in terms of Xu Yuanzuo's intuitive feelings, there is not much difference.

The big ship docked in the port, Xu Yuanzuo stood on the side and watched the sailors get on the gangplank, and looked into the distance, behind the port was a large countryside. Further back, there are scattered black spots, which are residential towns.

At this time, the county seat was still in Dongsha and had not been moved, so naturally there was no brick and earth city wall.

Shen Yujun accompanied Xu's mother to walk behind Xu Yuanzuo, and deliberately said, "This is my Shen family's port." ”

Xu Yuanzuo felt that this sentence was a bit abrupt, but as long as he was not an unpredictable person, he must have a context when he spoke. If the listener finds it abrupt and incomprehensible, it must lack the contextual background to understand the sentence.

"Oh, it's a big port, there are four docks." Xu Yuanzuo glanced at it: "So many docks, what's the use?" ”

Shen Yujun finally seized the opportunity and said in a deep voice: "I'll talk to my aunt, don't intervene when you kid." ”

Xu Yuanzuo choked: Do you want to quarrel with a girl? That's really alive and well.

Mother Xu smiled kindly and kindly, and interrupted: "When I got married, there were only two piers here. ”

"It's all been newly built in the last three or five years." Shen Yujun said: "Auntie, let's change cars here." It's not very bumpy to walk back on the gravel road. The big ship also has to go around half a circle and unload directly at the backyard dock. Although it is closer, the water is shallow, and you have to turn the boat, so it is better to walk in front of it easily and safely. ”

Mother Xu smiled and looked at her mother's house who had not been back for more than ten years. There was already a glint in his eyes.

Qi Miao was the first to rush off the gangplank and first went to see the carriage waiting at the dock. The servants then lined up on the shore to pick up Xu's mother. Xu's mother was vigorous in Zhuli, but at this moment, she was no different from the housemother of a large family who lacked the ability to take care of herself, and she was helped out of the boat by Xu Yuanzuo and changed into the car.

Xu Liangzuo was driven into the car, and Xu Yuanzuo and Shen Yujun rode horses to lead the way.

Shen Yujun glanced at the four fields and said, "The fields that you can see are all mine." ”

Xu Yuanzuo looked at the new seedlings under the spring breeze. With the ups and downs of Ma Lang, he said: "Cousin, you have repeatedly shown off your family background, is it because you have no place to show off on weekdays?" ”

"What's there to show off with you hairy boy." Shen Yujun suddenly became excited, and he didn't want to talk about the next road.

Xu Yuanzuo originally had more harsh words waiting for him, but when he saw that his cousin had stopped, he didn't say anything. He saw the prosperity of agriculture in Changsha, and thought that it was more than enough to come to the island to be self-sufficient. I don't know what other specialties there are. Seeing the fierce gods following behind Shen Yujun, Xu Yuanzuo also wanted to know the origin of these people - to see if he had made a mistake.

It is about three miles from the wharf to the Shen family compound. Less than four miles away.

Although in Shen Yujun's mouth, the Shen family is quite meteorological, but when he walks to the gate of the village, he knows the background.

There are many archways in front of the Xu family's mansion in the county town, one by one, and the Shen family only has a shallow carved unicorn wall.

The chariot and horses stopped after the wall, got off the car and dismounted. The middle door opened, and a middle-aged man walked out of it, stepping down the steps, his originally rigid face moved the moment he saw Xu Shen. Stumbling under his feet, he half-stumbled and half-trotted over.

Mother Xu was even more excited when she saw it, and quickly stepped forward, holding the man with both hands, tears had already flowed, and said with a crying voice: "Second brother! ”

"Little sister!" The man's lips quirmed, and he tried to choke back tears.

Shen Yujun sighed lightly and shook his chin at Xu Yuanzuo: Go up and hold the two old men!

Xu Yuanzuo got off the horse, followed his cousin forward, and helped their respective adults, so as not to let the two brothers and sisters get too excited.

"Second brother, this is my eldest son Yuanzuo, and this is my second son Liangzuo." Mother Xu couldn't help choking and introduced her second brother Shen Benjing.

Xu Yuanzuo looked at his second uncle again, and only felt that he was older than his father - probably because he was thin and dark, and he had a perennial wind.

Of course, there is also the possibility that he is much older than his father.

"Second uncle." Xu Yuanzuo and his younger brother bowed.

Shen Benjing let go of her sister, reached out and touched Xu Liangzuo's head, and wanted to touch Xu Yuanzuo's ...... found that Xu Yuanzuo was slightly taller, so he patted him on the shoulder instead: "It's really tall and big, good body!" He added: "I heard that the virtuous nephew won the case in the county test last month? That's great! All right! ”

Xu Yuanzuo smiled and bowed: "I have been studying with my teacher for a long time, but I don't know enough, and the head of the case is not proud of it." ”

"Good, good!" Shen Benjing praised vigorously, and only after a long time did she remember: "Daddy and eldest brother are waiting for you in the main hall, let's go in." ”

Old lady Shen is no longer in charge of things, Shen Benjing has a high status in the family, and everyone hugs Shen Benjing and Mother Xu to go inside.

Xu Yuanzuo's gaze swept over the door, and he already knew that the Shen family had no fame to protect the family and the house, and it was dangerous to have such a big foundation. He glanced at Shen Yujun, and suspected that the Shen family was probably still involved with pirates, and he really did his best for his grandfather's family.

After the foyer, two rows of ginkgo biloba stand opposite each other in the front yard, and the walls are tight.

Shen Benjing took Xu Mu and Yuan Zuo Liangzuo into the main hall, and an old man with white beard and white hair sat on the main seat, surrounded by an old woman with gray hair. There was a middle-aged man who looked younger than Shen Benjing, and it seemed that he was an uncle who was bent on studying and gaining fame.

The servants stood aside, and Mother Xu stepped forward and pulled her two sons to kneel, and said affectionately: "The unfilial daughter greets her father and mother." Blessed life for two adults! ”

Old lady Shen almost got up to help his daughter, but he heard a cough next to him, and this was just a cane: "My grandson is so old, I have only seen it for the first time, do you want to wait for me to enter the spiritual hall before coming!" ”

Xu Yuanzuo listened to it and felt that the emotional experience of the elders was really tortuous, if this was to shoot TV, it would probably be enough to write and direct seven or eight episodes on the water.

――Isn't it self-abuse that the family members have deep feelings, but they stubbornly refuse to communicate?

Xu Yuanzuo said secretly in his heart. (To be continued......)
