In the early morning, the door of Yu's mansion was knocking. When a few of the vigil servants heard the commotion, they pulled down the latch of the door, and they pushed open the door to take a closer look at a few fresh faces, but they were richly dressed, and they must be distinguished guests from the old man's mansion. "We are Yu Jian's brothers, lead us in." The older man in front of him said that he saw that his hair was as white as snow on both sides, and his body was wide and fat, and he was probably a person who did not work all year round, and he was still a tall man at first glance with a belt that tightened his belly. Seeing this, a sleepy-eyed little guy immediately ran into the mansion to report to Yu Jian, while the other two slowly walked inside with them.

Yu Jian's two elder brothers looked at it while walking: "Look at this garden, Yu Jian is really prosperous." If our Yu family can produce a person who serves in the imperial court, it can be regarded as the blessing of our ancestors."

"Yes, if it weren't for the shadow of our ancestors, our Yu family would have been trampled on for the rest of our lives, but thanks to my father's teachings when he was there, he was able to successfully enter the imperial examination." Yu Jian's second brother said.

The two servants bent down and said to them, "The main hall has arrived, you two will rest here first, and we will go down first."

"Uh-huh, thank you both." Yu Pu and Yu Qin replied politely.

After sitting in the hall for a while, the two brothers heard the sound of clanging steps outside the door and slowly approached, and the next second, the sound stopped, looking out through the sunlight Yu Jian was standing at the door, and Yu Jian couldn't hide the smile on his face pouring in from outside.

"Big brother, second brother". Yu Jian shouted.

Yu Qin held Yu Jian's shoulders with both hands: "Third brother, I haven't seen you for many years, you are a little old."

"Big brother, I'm at an age where I'm not confused, how can I not look old." Yu Jian looked at the two elder brothers and then said: "The brothers have been in good health recently, and my mother has been in good health recently."

Yu Qin wiped the corners of his eyes: "We are fine, but my mother is sick, I don't think about tea recently, and I have lost a lot of weight, we came this time to invite my younger brother to go back to visit her old man, and you have been an official in Beijing for many years, and you have been out for so many days, and now you have finally returned to Quanzhou, and you should go back to your hometown to see."

"The eldest brother is right, it is the negligence of the younger brother, the mother is unwell, and the son should go back to visit." Speaking of the frugality of emotion, it was inevitable to shed tears, he let Yu Qin and Yu Pu sit on the stool and chair, and then continued: "Mother, I can be said to treat me as my own, think about it when I was young, thanks to my mother's protection, it was cold to add clothes for Yu, and I accompanied Yu to boil the lamp and read at night, now I think about it, I am really sorry for my mother's kindness."

Yu Pu said: "You can be regarded as worthy of her old man, but there are many things in the court, and you are not as free as us in business." "Why didn't you see Yu Rui, Yu Cheng, those two little guys." Yu Pu continued.

According to weekdays, these two guys should have gotten up and took a carriage to the Huaining Hou Mansion after breakfast, but the old gentleman asked Yu Cheng to copy a thousand words fifty times yesterday, but he was really tired enough, and he wrote too slowly with a pen in one hand, so he simply took two and held them firmly in the palm of his hand to draw them, although the appearance of the words was ugly, but after all, he could understand it. Yurui's handwriting is different from that of Cheng, and he is afraid that Mr. will recognize him, so he can only help him study ink and take the paper on which he writes. stayed up until the second watch, and Yu Chengcai blew out the lights in the room. In the morning, Qin's mother insisted on urging Yu Cheng to get up several times, but he just couldn't afford it. There was really no way for Qin's mother to invite the Wang family over, but before the Wang family entered the door, she just yelled a few words at the door, and Yu Cheng's ass immediately separated from the bed.

"Okay, don't clean up, you don't have to go to the school today, take care of it and see your two uncles in the main hall." Wang helped Yu Cheng get dressed, and then led him to the main hall.

Yu Rui had already met the uncle and second uncle of the Yu family early. Yu Cheng stood behind Yu Rui, this was the first time he saw his eldest uncle and second uncle since he could remember. Yu Qin looked at the two timid young men, and said, "When I saw it before, I was only so tall, but now I have grown into a big child." He touched Yu Rui Yu Cheng's head, the good descendants of the Yu family, Yu Qin looked at them with satisfaction. At this time, the nurse also led the faltering Xiao Ling'er over, Yu Qin, Yu Pu watched this crooked guy put his fingers into his mouth and sucked Yun, the big eyes of the water, the cherry-like mouth, and the chubby face, looked really cute.

Wang hugged Xiao Ling'er up: "This is the third girl in the house, Yu Zhaoling, she just turned one year old this year, and the two uncles are afraid that they have never seen each other." This little Ling'er was born in Bianjing City, Wang gave birth to her and almost lost her life, but fortunately found an experienced midwife in time to correct the fetal position, and Wang escaped from the ghost gate.

Yu Qin said: "I haven't seen Ling'er, and the first time I met, my uncle didn't bring anything good to give to Ling'er, so I gave her this carved Hetian white jade." Wang pushed the hands of Yu Qin, who was about to give Ling'er a jade pendant: "Uncle, how can this be done, how can the children's family bear such a generous gift." Yu Qin said jokingly: "If I don't give Ling'er a meeting gift, I'm afraid that when Ling'er grows up in the future, she will blame me for being stingy as an elder." After speaking, he took out two more volumes of books, called "Zizhi Tongjian", and sent them to Yu Rui and Yu Cheng. Yu Pu gave something to the three children, and he didn't bother to talk anymore.

The sky slowly turned white, until Yu Jian couldn't look directly with his naked eyes: "The eldest brother and the second brother haven't had breakfast yet, let's eat something at the younger brother's place first, and then I'll go to the government to take a leave of absence and go back with you to visit my mother."

"Uh-huh, just do as you say." Yu Qin and Yu Pu said together.

Yu Jian's hometown is located in Jinjiang, Quanzhou, a small village near the sea, horse-drawn carriages slowly drive through the streets and alleys, the wheels are crushed on the axis of time, Yu Jian's hometown in the past is not as prosperous as it is today, and the muddy road has become a gravel road surrounded by a fence and a tile house. Although most of the houses of local residents are still simple thatched houses, there are also some large families who have houses built of bricks and tiles. As the carriage continued to move forward, the air gradually filled with the strong smell of seawater, and the sea breeze also blew. Yu Qin's house is not far in front, compared with the mansions of the major wealthy merchants in Quanzhou City, this one that catches your eye is a little lacking. In the early years, Yu Qin and Yu Pu had not yet made a fortune, and they had a hard time living by buying and selling seafood, and this house was still just a small dilapidated house made of bricks and stones. Whenever it rains, the rain crackles outside the house, and the rain inside the house is ticking and leaking.

Yu Qin's mansion enters the lobby from the main entrance, there is a small bridge behind the lobby, the water under the bridge is slowly rattling, the two sides are partial rooms, Yu's old mother rests on the left, some porcelain is placed in the lobby, probably Jingdezhen blue and white porcelain, the posture is white as jade, as blue as the water in the lake, quite exquisite. Yu Jian looked at them carefully and sighed greatly. After staying for a while, Yu Qin led them into the side hall, where He was there.

The side hall exudes bursts of sandalwood incense and blends with the dim atmosphere. Yu's mother, He, was still lying on the bed, and her old illness had relapsed recently, and she couldn't move for a while. Yu Jian saw that his mother was being tortured due to illness, so he fell to his knees and lay on the side of the bed.

"Mother, the son is back". Yu Jian said in a choked voice.

He slowly opened his eyes and stretched out a trembling hand to caress Yu Jian's forehead. The slight voice was full of concern: "Son, you have lost a lot of weight". Yu Jian held He Shi with both hands, lowered his forehead and was silent for two or three seconds, and then turned around and called Yu Rui and Yu Cheng over. "Call grandmother".

"Grandmother"". Yu Rui and Yu Cheng knelt behind their father and kowtowed.

"Okay, get up, good boy, get up". The old mother of the Yu family said with all her might.

After seeing the old mother, the colorful glow on the horizon gradually showed red. Yu Qin asked Yu Jian's family to go back after He was better, so that there would be more people to take care of him, and Yu Rui, Yu Cheng and Ling'er could get along with their grandmother more. The sunset has completely occupied the sky, the sea breeze blows in, and although the doors and windows have all been closed, Yu Cheng in the house still feels a chill. The only thing that made people feel warm was the oil lamps, and he and his brother hid under the covers and whispered. Through the moonlight, hide those words in your dreams.

After staying in the Qin Mansion for more than half a month, Yu's mother gradually improved, and there was no major problem in getting out of bed and walking. Yu Jian planned to take his old mother back to his mansion for a few days. When he first returned to his hometown, Yu Jian discussed with the Wang family that he wanted to take his mother to his house. Now that Ho's health is improving, this desire has become even stronger. Early in the morning, Yu Jian pulled Yu Qin and Yu Pu to talk about it.

"Big brother, second brother, I want my mother to live in Quanzhou with me for a few days." Yu Jian said softly.

Yu Pu looked at Yu Qin, and then fiddled with his sleeves, he couldn't make up his mind about this matter, he had to listen to his eldest brother's opinion before he could speak.

"Since you have this filial piety, it's not impossible, but you still have to pay more attention to your mother's body. If there's something wrong, send two people to come and let us know." Yu Qin said to him.

"Well, then I'll take my mother back today, there is indeed official business in the government and I can't talk for many days." Yu Jian said.

Outside the Qin Mansion, five carriages were waiting. Yu Jian helped He Shi slowly step out of the threshold, and several female envoys took down the stool and put it on the ground. Roll up the curtains, and the group will return to where they belong. And when will the carriage of Bianjing City be opened, only God knows, fate is like this, it seems to be playing tricks on the world, but in fact, he should be like this. Just like Chen Anqing, and his two daughters who have been bound by fate all their lives, the same is true.
