Chapter 247: Returning to the hometown
The day before was a lot of worries about the smashed porcelain, and the remaining two days were relaxed, and while there was still time to travel around the huge Kyoto, they prepared a lot of food for the younger siblings, the Cai couple and the neighbors, and filled the carriage with fresh things alone.
Rao is Zhou Han was reluctant, and the group left Kyoto two days later.
His own carriage was full of belongings, and Zhou Han prepared a two-horse carriage for them, with a frame made of sturdy red teak, and even the curtain was replaced with brocade, which showed its luxury.
The interior is fully equipped, with tea bowls and dishes and delicate and small sweets, all of which are famous in Kyoto.
Chun Gui ate cakes, drank tea, and praised Zhou Han with a smile.
"Let's go back this time, and we will rely on the carriage sent by Zhou Han to save face."
Guo Ruyi teased her: "I could have had more face, but Sister Yue didn't want it." ”
She said a deliberate will of the emperor, due to the shortage of the treasury, the emperor only gave a decree to the three ladies of the third grade, and there was no reward at all, which looked a little shabby compared to previous years. There was a shortage of money for her, so the emperor thought about making a fuss about the form, so he was ready to ask the inner servants to follow this holy decree all the way, and let Chungui grow a long face on the boundary of Qizhou.
This frightened Chungui, and he hurriedly excused himself, and sincerely asked Qi You to express with the emperor that there was really no need to move like this.
Seeing that she was really unwilling, the emperor reluctantly withdrew his will.
Thinking that if the porcelain line was properly maintained, there would be no shortage of silver in the future, so he added a little to her money.
was mentioned by Guo Ruyi today, and his face turned red when he heard the return of spring, and he didn't know what the saint thought, if it was like this, he would knock all the way over, and there would be a book in the imperial history tomorrow.
She glanced at Guo Ruyi helplessly, her mind turned, and she also teased her: "Don't be too happy, after a while, Zhanpeng will be angry and just stop doing it, and then run back from Kyoto, I think you are not so leisurely as you are now!" ”
Guo Ruyi is not afraid of this quip: "Zhanpeng's kid was trained by Sister Yue herself, I don't believe him, I still can't believe Sister Yue!" Let's let him endure it in Kyoto! ”
There is no errand on this shoulder, and the porcelain matter has passed in front of the emperor again, not only Qi You and Zhixing are relieved, but Guo Ruyi has also regained the mentality of the little daughter of the past, which is so comfortable.
Chungui shook his head amusedly, and couldn't help but think of Guo Zhanpeng, who was alone and miserable.
Yes, the group of people and the officials, and the strong men of the dart bureau all walked on the way back to their hometowns
Only one Guo Zhanpeng was left behind.
……
After the porcelain was handed over, the people of Kyoto woke up early one morning, and suddenly felt that the whole street became urgent, whether it was the officials and guards running around, or the government decrees that came out of Kyoto with the fast horses, all of which indicated that something important was about to happen.
Before the implementation of the official kiln, Qi You and Zhixing only need to arrange the craftsmen who have been trained in batches to be supplemented by the location where the Holy Lord will carry it out, so only Guo Zhanpeng is really busy in the whole family.
Just inserting King Qi into the caravan gave him a headache, and when the Holy Majesty ordered the punishment, it was a big mountain to press on Guo Zhanpeng. During those days in Kyoto, I came back every night to report the progress with my family, and I almost always complained bitterly.
Fortunately, after King Qi was escorted over, the guards sent by the saint also followed, all of them stood in the shop with swords in a fierce manner, King Qi was so angry that he wanted to break out, and he was immediately beaten by the handle of the knife. Falling to the ground, the guards didn't say a word, but the knife in their hands moved quickly.
After three or four times like this, King Qi, who was used to being rampant and domineering, was also afraid.
The next day, it was reported that two cronies in his hands had implemented the prison meal in Dali Temple, and none of them could not come out in seventeen or eighteen years.
disposed of his cronies in public, this is a real tear of his face, and it is the first time in the world that he sent the imperial family to a commoner land to be an example of business, King Qi couldn't help but shrink when he thought of this.
I'm afraid that the next step will be to directly pick up his official title and ask him to be a veritable merchant.
He immediately wanted to write a letter to repent, begging the emperor to let him out, but only in exchange for a heavy stroke of the red pen from top to bottom, the saint threw it back without even looking at it.
In short, after a long period of silence, fear, and fear, until the day when the official kiln was introduced, every day I listened to the caravan's praise for porcelain, and I was able to say one or two words that were described.
If it is said that the time when he truly confesses his fate and repents, it is not in the consciousness that he eats and lives with the caravan every day, and never returns to his clothes to reach out for food and open his mouth, nor is it in the long journey to other countries.
Instead, a few years later, I watched the porcelain be exported to neighboring countries, which really added a thick layer of security to the treasury.
At that time, the saint built water conservancy, and the ambition of helping the people was realized, and the Ci'an Church that had been promoted by Qi You Zhixing in the two counties was all over the place, and the sound of reading aloud came from the private schools that could be seen everywhere.
But it was also a long time later, until he grew into his thirties, his skin was tanned by the sun, and he would never be so angry that he would scold people because of a bowl of coarse tea and light rice, and his pampered temperament was precipitated little by little.
It was so long that he was willing to follow the caravan to the north and south, and watched the entire Chen Kingdom take on a new look.
It was so long that the two young people he once hated were promoted all the way to Kyoto, and they were full of children.
.......
Regardless of the chickens and dogs in Kyoto, the carriage carrying the two couples faces south, facing the scorching sun overhead, and the hot wind blowing all over the face blows another hot summer day.
The carriage stopped all the way, came to the territory of Qizhou, and there was a whole official road from Songyu County, when there was a whole official road, there were a large number of familiar faces waiting on the side of the road early, and when they saw the carriage swaying and leisurely coming, they immediately rushed up, and ran in front of them shouting the name of Chungui, all of them were beaming, and they were not afraid of the official dart master who was carrying a knife behind, and they wanted to shout down from Xingtou.
Chungui hurriedly opened the curtain when he heard the sound, and saw that the villagers were all happy and crazy!
The young and strong people stood up to the big sun, not to mention, even the village chief grandfather was so old that he stood in the crowd, and the daughter-in-law slapped her with a smile and wiped her eyes!
"You kid! Silently, he took the command! Our Xiaoliang Mountain has a fate! ”
Qi You and Zhixing have been glorified as officials, but they can be promoted to the scientific examination, and there will be one in the future, and the spring return is a proper three-grade fate, from a common person directly jumped to the three-grade, and people have not been promoted so quickly, that is, Qi You Zhixing is now only a seven-grade.
Seeing the people, the villagers celebrated one by one, and directly surrounded the carriage tightly!
A carload of people was stunned for a moment before they realized what was going on.
It turned out that although the emperor did not make a big move in the form of her in response, he still rushed ahead of them, and quickly reported the news, and then passed it down from the state capital one by one, from the town to Xiaoliangshan.
Chungui moved out of the household registration after becoming married, and now he is settled in Cheng's family, and his roots are still in Xiaoliangshan. The person who reported the news seemed to know the grievances between the spring return and the various families in the past two years, and the letter was directly reported to the village chief's house.
But it also happened that it was the time of the sweet potato harvest in the field, and a few of them went to Kyoto in the spring, but Ah Rong Ah Ren was still there, and he had already found manpower, and he happened to collect sweet potatoes in various villages, registered, weighed, and distributed silver as usual.
Seeing that the messenger dismounted at the entrance of the village, he shouted all the way to the village chief at the end of the village.
Ah Rong Ah Ren hesitated: "........ Sister Chun was ordained? ”
As soon as the words fell, the people of the whole village were shocked, and after reacting, they didn't need Ah Rong Aren to say, they ran back and closed the door, and the money was not collected for the time being, and the sweet potatoes all over the ground were piled up, and they came to this official road in groups to welcome people!
Ah Rong Ah Ren finally reacted, and hurriedly asked someone to take care of the sweet potatoes in the village, and then put away the silver grade booklet, and also ran all the way.
.......
Chungui was surrounded by crying and laughing, and in response to everyone's decision, he took out the holy decree and spread it out so that he could see it clearly.
Although the villagers laughed and made a fuss to open their eyes, they didn't dare to touch it when they really put it in front of them, and they looked at the literacy word by word, and the illiterate ones only looked at a corner and rejoiced.
"My God, this is a holy decree......"
Taking advantage of this moment, Ah Rong Ah Ren hurriedly squeezed in from the crowd, sweating profusely and laughing.
When I returned to the spring, I was still holding the silver in my arms, and when I asked the reason, I was really helpless.
The road of an official road is not far in the end, and the two couples discussed it, so they simply got off the carriage directly, planning to follow the villagers all the way over, and looked at the sun, and forcibly sent the old man to the carriage.
In the wide avenue, horse-drawn carriages walked in front of them, and the villagers gathered around asking about the scene in Kyoto.
"Are the sweets in Kyoto as delicious as ours?"
"Everyone in Kyoto wears satin clothes?"
didn't wait for Chun Hui to reply, and the one next to him picked up: "The dim sum in Kyoto is also out of Chun Gui's hand, of course it is the best food we have here." ”
"Envy other people's satin clothes? Today, I sold the sweet potatoes in that place, and Ah Rong Ah Ren settled the vegetables and fruits of the season, and I collected the monthly money in your man's cave in Ming'er, and your helper of Ci'an Tang paid for it, and I went to buy two or three horses for it in the cloth village! I still have money to pay my son for a private school in the autumn! ”
The crowd laughed.
Not really! If you want silk, you can buy it yourself!
.......
Chungui couldn't help but turn his head to look at his side, and the two clasped their hands in tacit understanding, looking at each other and smiling.
The mighty group of people walked forward, and the midsummer wind came with hot air, and in a trance, it was like the summer day two years ago.
Chungui shook her head, and the heat in her hand made her sober for a moment.
She couldn't help but look up into the distance, and suddenly grinned.
It's summer, but it's different.
In the distance, there is smoke from the non-stop operation of the cave, on the edge of the ridge near the official road are lush crops, and the huge Ci'an Hall at the junction of the two counties stands, and the thick fragrance of cinnamon wafts into the hot wind.
In front of her lively and lively conversations were her familiar neighbors and caring elders.
And beside her, Ruyi and Zhixing also held hands and smiled and spoke softly, Ah Rong Ah Ren walked forward leisurely, glancing at the carriage behind him from time to time.
Qi You, who was closest to her, looked ahead with a slightly blushing face, and after realizing her eyes, he lowered his head and asked softly:
"What's wrong?"
The curvature of the corners of Chungui's mouth was especially great, and he shook his head with a smile, increasing the strength of his hand even more.
This is her safest home........
What a beautiful summer day, everything in the world is flourishing, and under the heat wave, thousands of people full of hope are marching forward step by step........
