Yang Lin was stunned for a long time, let go of Ye Xiaotian's ankles, and said slowly: "When the old man was in power, he was in power, as if Guanyin had everything he wanted, but whenever someone came to ask me, he could always be satisfied, but he couldn't ask God for a son for himself." ”

"Maybe it's because of the lack of virtue to do too much, in his later years, the old man repaired bridges and roads, donated to help the disabled, and donated a large amount of sesame oil money to the temple, and accumulated yin virtue vigorously, but he still couldn't exchange for a son, so he had to pass one from the clan."

Yang Lin sighed wistfully and said, "But he is not the old man's flesh and blood after all." The old man only gave birth to one daughter in his life, her mother is the old man's concubine, and she has never been treated well by the wife, and the old man is worried that after the death, the wife will be unscrupulous and will be difficult for their mother and daughter. ”

Ye Xiaotian said suspiciously: "What does Lord Yang mean?" ”

Yang Lin choked up and said: "My daughter, well-behaved, handsome and cute, but the hated old man only cared about the power of the stack at that time, and never endured the joy of his knees, and now he regrets it." The old man violated the law and discipline of the country, although he died innocently, but now the only thing he cares about in his heart is this daughter. ”

He slowly fixed his gaze on Ye Xiaotian and said, "The old man wants to repair a book, please transfer it to the old man's family, let them divide the family property according to the old man's wishes, leave a dowry for the little girl, and ensure that she has no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life, are you willing?" ”

Ye Xiaotian said in surprise: "This is the big thing that adults are talking about?" ”

Yang Lin nodded solemnly and said, "Not bad!" The old man has been in power all his life, greedy for money all his life, and he finally understands what is most important to me when he dies, and this is the most important thing in the old man's heart! ”

Ye Xiaotian said angrily: "Make! I shouldn't rush for fifty taels of silver, I should do such a good deed, of course, it's better to have money, haha! It's just that...... Since it involves the division of family property, boy, I have a red mouth and white teeth, and I am afraid that no one will believe me when I say it, and I need to leave a letter as evidence, and wait for me to get a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. ”

Yang Lin said gratefully: "Okay! The old man's family lives in Jingzhou Mansion, Huguang Road, as long as you deliver this letter for the old man, the reward of fifty taels of silver will be a lot! ”

Ye Xiaotian's eyes suddenly widened, and he said in surprise: "Huguang Province Jingzhou Mansion? Listening to your words, this place shouldn't be in Beijing, right? ”

Yang Lin glanced at him strangely and said, "Jingzhou Mansion is Jingzhou Mansion, of course it's not in Beijing City, what's the matter?" ”

If it's not in Beijing, where is it? Ye Xiaotian, who has grown so big and has only been to Tongzhou as far as possible, immediately imagined a scene of the reckless world in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" in his mind, and he shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, that's not possible, if I leave the boundary of Beijing, I won't be able to find the north." ”

Yang Lin intercepted: "Five hundred taels!" How about the old man give you a reward of five hundred taels? That's money you'll never earn in your lifetime! ”

"Five hundred taels ......" Ye Xiaotian's heart was pounding, but this struggle only lasted for a moment, and he shook his head resolutely. I want to go to Huguang to deliver a letter, Huguang! In this era of inconvenient transportation and communication, it sounds as if the end of the world is as far away......

For Ye Xiaotian, who has never left Beijing, this is a daunting path that makes him feel wandering from the bottom of his heart when he hears it. He hesitated, but still refused: "It's too far away, it's better to wait for your family to arrive in Beijing and I'll hand it over to ......."

Yang Lin smiled miserably and said: "The old man has been in prison for three years, since he knew that the old man could not go out again, no one at home has come, the old man and his wife have always been indifferent, if she arranges for someone to travel thousands of miles to transport my coffin, but I don't know what year and month I will have to wait." ”

As soon as Ye Xiaotian heard the words "thousands of miles away", he refused to agree, and shook his head again and again: "Xiaotian can't do it, Lord Yang, please be smart." ”

Yang Lin said: "Who else can the old man ask?" Are there any good people in this huge prison? ”

Ye Xiaotian's face froze.

Yang Lin muttered: "These prisoners in the prison often make some money for you jailers to buy food, the old man looks on coldly, and the jailers next to him all withhold, or shoddy or greedy for money, only you are the most important, although you are greedy but do not betray your trust, so only your old man can believe it." ”

Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said: "My lord has lifted it, this trip is really farther, Xiaotian, I am a little loach in the pond at the door of my house, I have never seen any wind and waves, I really can't do this thing for you, boy, farewell!" ”

Ye Xiaotian arched his hand, turned around and left, Yang Lin shouted behind him: "Five hundred taels, five hundred taels, it is enough to make you rich and noble for a lifetime, are you willing to be a little cell boss for a lifetime?" ”

Ye Xiaotian didn't look back, just walked away, and from a distance, a piece of Kunqu opera came out of his words: "I was originally a ~~~ small family finch in Sijiu City, why do you need to soar for nine days to be a Kunpeng, Kunpeng doesn't know how good the swallow is ~~~"

Ye Xiaotian's voice faded away, Yang Lin stood in place stupidly, listening to his voice on the railing, and slowly raised his head for a long time, looked at the gloomy prison roof, and muttered a long sigh: "Kunpeng, maybe it's really not as good as the bird......

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Ye Xiaotian's home is in Xiquzi Hutong, Xuanwu Street, the neighbor on the left is a hereditary executioner, and the family also runs a grocery store, and the neighbor on the right is a family of resentful servants, and the family is also a meat shop, and the Ye family is sandwiched in the middle, and the lintel is the smallest.

As soon as I entered the small courtyard, I pushed the door in, and saw his old lady Ye Dou holding a dustpan and feeding the chickens in the yard, and several old hens clucked and happily chased the scattered bran. The big rooster who was basking in the sun under the wall heard the sound, and he held his chest high and squeezed his ** aside very domineeringly.

Ye Xiaotian greeted the old lady and said, "Mother, I'm back." ”

Ye Dou's gloomy face did not speak, Ye Xiaotian was slightly surprised, and was about to ask, when he suddenly heard a burst of scolding from the West House, and the loud voice was naturally Father Ye: "You bastard boy can do it!" Three-legged thing that can't kick a fart, such an old idea. ”

Ye Xiaotian was surprised: "Mother, who is my father scolding?" Big brother is back? ”

Ye Dou wanted to speak and stopped, and finally just sighed heavily.

Ye Xiaotian hurriedly said: "I'll take a look!" ”

Ye Xiaotian hurried to the West House, opened the door curtain and took a look, and saw that his father Ye Laohan was holding a broom and beating his brother Ye Xiaoan with no head and no face. Ye Xiaoan curled up in a ball on the kang, protected his head, pouted his buttocks, neither dodged nor shouted, and let Lao Tzu whip him.

Ye Xiaotian hurriedly stepped forward to stop his father and persuaded, "What's the matter?" Dad, you are old and angry, what can't you say well in the family, the eldest brother has become a family, you just teach a few words, how to do it. ”

Ye Xiaotian said and gave a look to the eldest brother, Ye Xiaoan and Ye Xiaotian are twins, they look exactly the same, but their expression and temperament are far less jumpy and agile than Xiaotian, at first glance, he is an honest and honest person, when he saw the second brother glancing at him, Ye Xiaoan hurriedly hugged his head and ran away.

Ye Xiaotian pulled his angry father, pressed him to the side of the kang and sat down, sat with him, hugged his father's shoulder, and said affectionately: "Dad, what can you do to make you angry with such an honest person, why are you so angry?" ”

Lao Ye was angry when he heard this, and said angrily: "This bastard thing, I'm really angry, what do you say he does, ah?" What do you think he can do? ”

Ye Xiaotian listened obediently, vaguely understood, and asked tentatively: "What, big brother's rice noodle workshop...... Bad business? ”

Lao Ye patted his thigh and said, "Not good? If it's just not good, Lao Tzu will burn high incense! This bastard thing, it is not good to open a rice and noodle workshop, and he owes a famine, and the store can't be opened, and as soon as it is squeezed out, the store will be cashed out.

Your sister-in-law went back to her parents' house in a rage, you said that your brother is such a bear, he can't start a business in a good way, and what's even more annoying is that he didn't say a word to me from beginning to end, he is in charge, does he still have me in his eyes? ”

Ye Xiaotian hurriedly comforted: "Dad, the matter has come to this, what's the use of you being angry, if you want to be angry, the eldest brother will be even more sad." In business, there are always losses and gains, otherwise wouldn't everyone have gone to do business, don't be angry. ”

Lao Ye was silent for a moment, sighed heavily, and said slowly: "It doesn't matter if Dad is angry or not. What's important is that your sister-in-law is angry with your brother, and her mother's family is stronger than ours, and this family is in a hurry with our family, and your brother is not angry......"

Lao Ye said and said, touching the sadness, and there were tears faintly in his eyes: "It's your father who can't bear it, this bowl of public rice handed down by his ancestors, two sons, who am I going to give it to?" Dad calculated, you are smarter, you can't suffer losses in that place, and the messenger of this prison will be handed over to you.

Because of this, my father felt indebted to your brother, so he took out all the savings he had saved all his life, bought him a workshop, and helped him marry a daughter-in-law. Father...... Daddy has done everything he can. ”

Lao Ye choked up, and tears finally flowed down: "Your brother can't lift his hands or shoulders, just honestly have a fart, this dragger has no life, now he doesn't even have a living livelihood, what can I do in the future?" It's because I'm a father who doesn't have the ability......"

Lao Ye covered his face sadly, tears continued to flow down from the edge of his palm, Ye Xiaoan didn't run away, just squatted outside the door curtain and listened, hearing what his father said, Ye Xiaoan's head was miserable, and he couldn't help crying: "Dad, don't say it, I don't blame you, it's my son's incompetence ......"

Ye Xiaotian saw his father crying, his nose was also sour, he hurriedly held back his tears, and pretended to be relaxed: "Dad, what are you doing here, let the neighbors listen to it and don't laugh at our old Ye family?" The eldest brother is easy to do, so why not let the eldest brother take over the jailer's errand? ”

Lao Ye was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "How can that happen!" Xiao An's own trouble, how can he withstand your mission? ”

Ye Xiaoan also said sneeringly outside the door curtain: "Second brother, this can't be done, even if my brother starves to death, he can't rob his brother of his job." If your sister-in-law really wants to go with me, then let her go! Brother has no ability, but brother can't have no conscience! ”

Daddy Ye pounded the kang head and roared loudly outside: "Shut up!" See what you can, now are you capable? You have to go and coax my daughter-in-law back beforehand! You! ”

Ye Xiaoan was timid, and was so frightened by Lao Tzu's roar that he hurriedly fled from the house. After Father Ye scolded his eldest son, he shook his head at Ye Xiaotian again, and his feelings had calmed down: "If you can't do it like this, you can do your errand, there is no endless road, your brother's side, Dad will think of a way." ”

Ye Xiaotian grinned and said, "Dad, what else do you want, just do what your son says." In fact, my son was going to tell my father about it when he came back today, even if the eldest brother's workshop was running well, he wanted to ask his father to take a class, because his son was going to go on a long trip. ”

Lao Ye said in surprise: "Go far away? Where are you going? ”

"That's ......"

Ye Xiaotian told him the cause and effect of the matter, and said: "Dad, do you think, just send a letter, there is the benefit of five hundred taels of silver, with these five hundred taels, my son still needs to refer to this public meal?" What can't you do for a living? ”

Lao Ye was very moved when he heard this, it was five hundred taels of silver, this is a huge amount of money that he couldn't even dream of, but this mountain is high and the water is far away, can Xiaotian make it?

In today's era, the traffic is inconvenient, the flow of people is less, and the security in various places is not the same, it is a very difficult thing to go far away.

In addition to the homeless people who really can't survive, they need to communicate with each other, so only officials and scholars who travel will leave their hometowns, although they have five hundred taels of silver, but if it weren't for such a big thing at home, they urgently needed a sum of money to fill the famine, Lao Ye didn't think about it at all, but at the moment, he ......

After hesitating for a while, Lao Ye said worriedly: "Son, you have never been far away, can you make such a long journey?" ”

Ye Xiaotian is also a relative in his heart, not only has the apprehension of traveling far away, but also the reluctance to give up the bowl of public rice that he cherishes, but seeing the dense wrinkles on his father's face, can he let the old father who has worked hard all his life continue to make it difficult? Besides, the eldest brother has reached the point of separation between husband and wife, can he, the brother of his mother's sibling, sit back and watch calmly?

Ye Xiaotian said to Ye Laohan with a relaxed face: "Dad, you underestimate your son too much, aren't you just sending a letter, can I still do such a trivial matter?" My son wants to go! To be honest, my son has always disliked the dreary place of the prison, and this is an opportunity for my son. ”

Looking at the silver on his father's temples, Ye Xiaotian gently held his father's rough big hand, and said softly: "Dad, my son always feels that no matter how much money he has, there will always be a time when he runs out; No matter how great the power is, there will always be a day when it is outdated; Even if it is a big family business, a natural disaster** will fall.

This person, you have to have some real skills, as long as you have a skill, even if you are poor with your bare hands, you can get back up if you fall, you just let me break through, increase my experience, maybe I will have a big future. ”

Lao Ye was relieved to hear this, looking at his son's still immature face and the faint fur on his lips, he suddenly felt that his son had really grown up. It's a pity that Xiao An's child is too honest, otherwise this letter should have been sent by the boss, and now he can only rely on the second child.

Ye Xiaotian couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw his father being appeased, but when he remembered the address of that Yang Dashen's house, his heart tightened again: "Jingzhou Mansion, it sounds really as far as the end of the world......
