Chapter 141 "Seeing Relatives"
Today, the gate of King Xiao's Mansion in Liaodong Mansion is wide open, and there are a large number of people standing in front of the door, who are greeting their relatives from the capital.
Finally, the carriage of anticipation came to the gate, Jiayue and the others got down from the carriage, quietly looked at the younger siblings and nephews, and couldn't hide the excitement in their hearts, but their eyes were red.
After being separated for several years, seeing my relatives again, no matter which one it is, my heart is very sour. Relatives met each other and asked each other, "Are you okay?" "How much concern has been expressed, and how much sadness has been expressed. Obviously, there is a regular correspondence, but no matter how much is written on the paper, no matter how good it is, it can't compare to the peace of mind that comes after meeting and asking in person.
The residences of the two families have already been cleaned up and arranged. At this time, a girl and a woman came forward to wait, and the sisters and brothers sat in the hall and talked. The relatives had endless words to say when they saw each other, everyone laughed for a long time, and the banquet in front was also prepared, so the group went to the dining room again, and the sisters and brothers talked while eating. Jiaming said something that had happened in the DPRK and China in recent years; Fang Chen said some interesting things in the academy; And Jiayue and Jiaming's wife Jinxiu told some things on the road; The three children also babbled and chattered non-stop. It's just that there are only a few sentences that can be understood, but it is the appearance of this little adult, which makes everyone laugh non-stop.
Jing Jing also introduced the local customs in detail to several relatives who came to Liaodong for the first time. Here, I stayed quietly for five years, and it can be said that I am quite familiar with Liaodong.
Several people listened to the changes in Liaodong in the past few years, and looked at the woman in front of them, and their hearts were shocked. It was their eldest sister, a woman in her twenties, who went up the mountains and rivers, paved roads and built houses for the prosperity of the people of Liaodong and the development of Liaodong Mansion, and endured all the hardships.
When they went to the capital, they only heard that Liaodong had built a stone road leading to the outside world, which was wide and flat, extending in all directions.
When they went to the capital, they only heard that Liaodong had established a wharf and opened river transportation, and there was an endless stream of merchants and visitors.
They were in Shangjing, and they only heard that Liaodong artificially cultivated medicinal herbs, which was the medicinal material base of the Great Liang Kingdom.
When they were in the capital, they only heard that Liaodong Mansion produced all kinds of good things, which they had never heard of and never seen.
There are more and more legends about Liaodong Mansion. Liaodong attracted more merchants, and Liaodong became one of the richest places. As a native of Liaodong, you will feel the envy of others when you go out.
However, behind all this, there is a woman who has worked hard, endured all the hardships, and exhausted the best time of five years.
"Eldest sister, you have worked hard all these years!" Jiaming looked at the eldest sister and said sincerely.
To say that in Jiaming's heart, who is the person he admires the most? It's not his teacher, it's not a celebrity, it's the eldest sister who raised and taught him, it's this comparable to a man, no! It's better than the man, his eldest sister.
"Yes, eldest sister, you have suffered all these years." After saying this, tears appeared in the corners of Jiayue's eyes.
"Eldest sister, you don't know? The most heard thing in the capital is Liaodong, and when it comes to Liaodong, the most talked about is you, eldest sister. Even my grandfather talked about his eldest sister all day long to teach us juniors. Grandpa said that the eldest sister is the wisest, most open-minded, and kindest woman in the world. What the eldest sister did, the men were ashamed of themselves. When I came, my grandfather also asked me to bring a sentence to the eldest sister, he said that it was the luck of the eldest sister to have a woman like the eldest sister in the country of Daliang; The people of Liaodong have a woman like the eldest sister, which is the luck of the people of Liaodong. Jinxiu looked at the eldest sister who only had one side, and her words were full of admiration.
Tranquility is a legend in Shangjing. It was the boudoir women, the women who became relatives, and even the men, who were the idols of all of them. Even today's saints, above the court, have praised him many times, his eldest sister. His father-in-law even talked about his eldest sister all day long, and often used the deeds of his eldest sister to teach his young son. Although his son still doesn't understand well, his father-in-law just takes the trouble to say it. Jinxiu knew in her heart that it was Xianggong who was missing her eldest sister.
Listening to everyone's praise and the distress in the words of my younger siblings, I smiled quietly, and said calmly, "Actually, it's not hard, I'm just using my brain and mouth, how to operate?" How does it work? There are people below to carry it out. When I first came, it was really hard compared to the days in the capital. But it's better than the hard days of lack of food and clothing when I was in Qingshan Village. In that case, I can survive with a smile, and now as a princess, no matter how hard the situation is, how much can I suffer? Liaodong Mansion can have today's development, and the people can live today's life, it is not my work alone, it is the result of everyone's concerted efforts. It's just that I thought that two or three years would be enough to change Liaodong, but I didn't think that this stay would be five years, but I, the eldest sister, did not fulfill my responsibilities and was negligent to the two of you. "It is impossible to say that there are no regrets and no self-blame in a quiet heart. Since she came to Liaodong, she has stayed for five years, and when her younger siblings got married, she only went back once. Jiaming is secondary, after all, he is a boy, and he is very guilty of his youngest sister Jiayue. Not being able to accompany her is an indelible regret in his heart.
"Eldest sister, it's not right for you to say that. In the capital, my third brother and I lacked nothing. Food and clothing are taken care of by people, and there are housekeepers for things inside and outside the house. In terms of personal accidents, there is also my grandmother who taught me, you and your brother-in-law left another group of people to protect me and my third brother, eldest sister, we are doing well, really well. As for me and the third brother, we have been taught and cared for by the eldest sister since we were children, but we couldn't help the eldest sister share one or two, and I am really ashamed. Jiayue saw that the eldest sister blamed herself so much, and quickly spoke out of relief.
She, like other girls, wants her eldest sister to be by her side for a long time. But she knows that the eldest sister is doing big things, and it is a big thing related to people's livelihood. Having such an eldest sister is the pride of her heart.
"Yes, eldest sister, Jiayue is right. We don't have to worry about food and clothing, what do you have to worry about, if you are not there, we will not treat ourselves badly. It's the eldest sister who has worked hard all these years! Eldest sister, we miss you very much and feel sorry for you, but we support and admire what the eldest sister does. Sister, we are proud of you! Fang Chen was quiet, admiring and grateful. If the rock was not quiet, he would not be where he is today. In Fang Chen's heart, Quiet is a selfless and great person!
