Chapter 34: The Nightmare Returns
Xie Jingyi felt that if she was really a thirteen-year-old girl, she would be very happy.
It's a pity that she is an old woman who touches the treasury with both hands and reads all the treasures.
"Thank you big cousin, I love it. Is my aunt okay? I am taking care of my aunt at home today, but I was not able to go to the house to greet my aunt. ”
Zhai Yiyan saw her laughing, and also laughed, "My aunt is fine, I look forward to you going." ”
He said, blinking his eyes, "I hope you will vent her evil anger, and she scolds me all day long." ”
When Xie Jingyi thought of her eldest aunt, she laughed sincerely, not to mention anything else, her eldest aunt Huang really loved her very much. She has a mother-in-law before and after, a powerful sister-in-law in the back, and Uncle Zhai is a clay man, and her life in the Zhai family is not easy.
Every time Xie Jingyi goes, she feels like the New Year.
"When my aunt is better, I'll go see my aunt again. Big cousin, is it good at sea? ”
When Zhai Yiyan heard the word sea, his whole person was full of energy, "Okay, there is gold everywhere." The silk, porcelain, and tea we have here can be exchanged for gemstones, spices, and sandalwood when we go to sea! It's a profitable book to buy *** daddy's tired dyed cloth, and the money from selling cloth is much faster. ”
Of course, risks and benefits coexist, and there are many people who go to sea and never come back.
"Now it's much better than before, those powerful fleets, with astrologers and charts, and a team of guards, as long as the luck is not too bad, it is not as dangerous as imagined. It's a pity that my father and my grandfather are conservative, and I said that they would not form a caravan by themselves, so I had to set off with others. ”
"You don't know, it's now possible to build a ship with twelve sails and six masts. Sannan, do you have any silver at the bottom of the box, why don't you lend it to your eldest cousin......"
Xie Jingyi shook his head, "I don't have this, but when I have money, my eldest cousin must leave me a boat." ”
Nowadays, shipping has flourished at the beginning, and later Dachen has more than 20 seaports, and a city shipping department has been set up in Hangzhou, and even the official family has implemented the city shipping law.
However, at that time, Xie Jingyi was already far away in Tokyo and had not seen such a prosperous maritime era with his own eyes.
Zhai Yiyan was a little weak-hearted, he just went to sea for the first time this year, and he returned by luck, what he said before was just a cow that blew the sky!
"Well, it must be."
How much does a boat's cargo cost, when Xie Sannan has saved enough, he may become the richest man in Hangzhou City, Zhai Yiyan thought, his heart settled down a little, but looking at Xie Jingyi's bright big eyes, he was stunned for another moment.
He thought about it, blocked his face with a fan, and said with some hesitation, "Sannan, did my grandfather mention it to you...... I mentioned it, ahem......"
Xie Jingyi was confused, "What did you mention?" It's not like you at all! ”
Zhai Yiyan shook his head, "It's nothing, it's nothing." I'll go back first, my aunt is still waiting for me to go back, and I'll go to my grandfather's house to give a New Year's gift in a while. ”
Xie Jingyi nodded, the New Year is approaching, who is not a day to go to many relatives.
"Then you should hurry up. We also have to pick up and pick up, and tomorrow we will go back to our hometown in Fuyang for the New Year. ”
Zhai Yiyan was relieved to see that she didn't ask, and the fan shook desperately again, making a whirring sound, as if it was about to be torn in the next moment.
Xie Jingyi stood up and accompanied him to Zhai's house to say goodbye.
He had come with Xie Baolin and the others before, and he had already met the Zhai family, but he only said a few rough words at this time, and then left in a hurry.
……
As soon as Zhai Yiyan left, Xie Jingyi didn't have the leisure he had before to think about the west.
Zhai Shi lay on the bed to recuperate, and the matter of returning to Fuyang for the New Year tomorrow fell on Xie Jingxian's head, Xie Jingyin and Xie Jingyi assisted from the side to help pack the luggage.
Lao Xie's family is in a small village called Qingshan in Fuyang County.
The uncle of the Xie family married the daughter of the village chief, Lin, and there was a lot of fertile land in the family, so he was reluctantly called Xie Yuanwai.
The Lin family gave birth to three sons and one daughter, the eldest son Xie Yitian, the second son Xie Yishan, the third son Xie Yishui, and the daughter named Xie Xiaohua, the same age as Xie Jingyi.
Xie Yitian and Xie Yishui both studied in Fuyang Academy, Xie Yishan was not easy to learn since he was a child, followed Uncle Xie to farm at home, and married Zhang Yaoyao, the village flower, last year, and lived a good life.
Uncle Xie and the Lin family are very simple, the two families have always been very close, and every year during the Chinese New Year, Xie Baolin must take them back to their hometown.
Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was dawning, the Xie family got up early and got into the carriage that had been prepared long ago.
Zhai's benevolence is kind, and every time at this time, the family will be reunited on vacation, leaving only a few people to serve closely.
Because Zhai was pregnant, Xie Jingyi spread the carriage thick so that she could lie down, leaving only Xie Baolin to accompany her in front, Xie Jingxian and Xie Jingyi were crowded together with a bunch of New Year's gifts and sat in the carriage behind. Xie Jingze sat in front of the carriage, while Xie Jingyi rode Sa Huan'er's little green donkey by himself.
It was overcast and snowy, and the coachman did not dare to run fast, but the little green donkey followed easily.
The carriage went out of Hangzhou City, passed through Fuyang County, got off the official road, and the crowd on the road began to sparsely populate, and a large area of fertile land and green water came into view, only occasionally I could see the people who rushed back to celebrate the New Year like them.
"Sannan, are you cold, do you want to come to the carriage to squeeze it?" Xie Jingxian stretched out her head and asked with concern.
Xie Jingyin waved her hand, because the cold wind was blowing outside, her nose was a little red from the cold, "It's not cold, it's not cold, just like this, I want to recite a poem." ”
Xie Jingze, who was sitting in front of the carriage, heard this, smiled and turned back and said, "Oh, Sannan can also compose poems?" Let Brother listen. ”
Xie Jingyi stuck out his tongue, "I'm just bragging, don't expose it, don't expose it." ”
The Xie family laughed when they heard this.
Xie Jingyi shook off the snow on the hat, "I don't know how to write poems." I can sing a song in a minor key. Listen to me. ”
The snow is getting heavier and heavier, and there are fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road, so empty that Xie Jingyi's singing seems to echo.
As soon as the song was not negotiable, I saw the horse in front of me suddenly neigh.
Xie Jingyi raised his hat to take a look, his pupils shrank sharply, and he raised his hand to hold the small sword hanging from his waist. This is the year of her tenth birthday, Xie Jingze gave her a birthday gift, it is a decorative sword, better than nothing.
"This mountain is opened by me, this tree is planted by me, if you want to pass from here, leave to buy road wealth!"
Here it comes! That's it...... If it is exactly the same as in the previous life, the same villain, who should have come, still came.
Who exactly is it and why? They had to die.
Xie Jingyi didn't have time to think about it, so he decisively pulled out the small sword at his waist, patted the little green donkey, and walked towards the carriage loaded with New Year's goods.
