Chapter 216: Reunion (1)
With the arrival of Aunt Wu, all the children have lived, and so far, whether it is hardware or software, the renovation project of Chenjia Village has been completed.
Seeing that everything was ready, Chen Qianfan rushed back from the academy in the state and personally took Ye Feng around, focusing on checking several issues such as accommodation, hygiene, and price.
Naturally, there is no problem.
Take accommodation as an example, the occasional Juda Inn plus the homestays of every household in the village, and the remaining three floors of the Salesian Bureau, no matter how many people come, there should be enough people to live, and the old Salesian Bureau in the county can still live in people.
After all the places were finished, the two of them felt that there was no problem, and Chen Qianfan went to the county office to report to Baizhi County.
Hearing this, Bai Zhixian was overjoyed, and hurriedly went to the imperial court, saying that he had everything prepared here, and he could receive people from all over the country who came to look for their children or fathers at any time.
Ye Feng is doing things, he has always been very relieved.
A few days later, the imperial court replied, affirming the achievements of Bai Zhixian and others, proposing commendations, and telling Wan to receive those who came to look for relatives. Do not look down because they are poor.
After thinking about it, Bai Zhixian urged the carpenters to make a batch of bunk beds overnight, of which 300 beds were placed in the empty house in Chenjia Village, and the other 100 were placed in the house of the Salesian Bureau in the city.
With that done, all that's left is to wait for the seekers to come.
Sure enough, it was right to be prepared first.
Although the official date is September 1, from the beginning of August, people will come to Chenjia Village every day.
For those who can afford it, Chen Jifa suggested that they live in a better accommodation with a fee. As for those who were very poor at first glance, they were all free of charge and lived in the rooms above the Salesian Bureau.
At the same time, the volunteers also began to rotate, hoping to have a doppelganger to help these people find their loved ones as soon as possible.
It's good to come early, so you don't have to rush to the peak in September. Now that everything is ready, it will be immediately possible to help these first comers find their relatives.
The suburbs of Beijing.
Since the Kang family left the capital and went all the way south, the atmosphere at home has been much better, because the concubines have no housewife's gaze, and they don't have to ask for peace, and they are extremely free.
And except for saying goodbye to the old lady, I don't have to ask about the rest of the affairs, after all, there is an Aunt Bai who has always wanted to go to power. Since she can't get past it, let her go.
If Kang's is in a bad mood one day and wants to find someone to vent his anger, it won't be them. As for who suffers, everyone knows in their hearts.
The concubines just eat every day, play leaf cards, and go out for a walk when they are bored, buying some food and clothing. Even serving Yin Liren needs to queue up, after all, wolves have more meat and less meat.
If you think about it, it's not as fair as when Kang's is there.
Because when Kang's was there, even Aunt Bai didn't dare to touch it. In order to make a look that she loves the big house more, Yin Liren just went here once, went there once, and it was even rain and dew.
Where, like now, openly spoil one of them and snub the others.
Yin Ping was a little disgusted by this group of warblers and warblers, because he had now begun to understand the affairs of men and women, and naturally understood the awkward relationship between Kang's and Yin Liren's. Although Yin Liren is not a womanizer, the existence of these people is hindered after all.
But it doesn't matter, these people have enough respect for him. If there is any bad intention, there is no need for him to make a move, just one look from the old lady of the Yin family is enough. At the same time, they also have self-knowledge that they failed to give birth to an heir for the Yin family, so they can only honestly guard their daughter.
As for the position of the main mother, there is Aunt Bai here, and there is basically nothing to do with them.
Since the reputation of the Kang family spread back to the capital, Yin Ping knew that his mother had paid so much in order to find herself. Therefore, I always wanted to thank her and honor her.
However, Kang's is away all the year round, and he is obviously at odds with his father, how can he fulfill his filial piety?
It was not until later, when His Majesty the Emperor publicly supported the matter of helping the abducted baby find his home, and ordered provincial officials to cooperate with Qingshan County, that Yinping realized that his opportunity had come.
And he really missed Ye Feng a little.
On this day, he got up early and went out with his servant.
It turned out that two days later would be the birthday of the old lady of the Yin family, and Yin Ping wanted to buy some new things to make the old lady happy, so as to take the opportunity to say what he thought. As soon as she is happy, she has a chance.
On the old lady's birthday, Yin Ping took back the hairpin he had customized from the silver building and gave it to the old lady in front of everyone.
Seeing this, the old lady really liked something, and said happily: "It's still my grandson's filial piety, and he knows how to buy gifts for grandma." It's just that this hairpin is not cheap at first glance, where did you get the silver? ”
Yin Ping said: "This is nothing, as long as grandma likes it, it is the creation of this hairpin." I have the New Year's money given by my grandmother every year, and I don't take out all of it, plus the ones my mother gave, all of them are used up. ”
Hearing this, the old lady of the Yin family was even happier, and said with a smile: "Okay, grandma knows that you have filial piety, so let's talk about it, whatever you want, grandma will buy it for you." You can't say silver, grandma will make up all the money you spent. ”
Yin Ping was this sentence, and immediately knelt at the old lady's feet and said: "Grandma, my grandson has been dreaming lately, and there is a white-bearded old man in my dream who always told me that my mother said when she made a wish in the Big Buddha Temple in Qingshan County, if her wish is fulfilled, she will definitely take me to repay her wish." However, before he went, the white-bearded old man was a little unhappy, saying that he would hinder any heirs. ”
After speaking, he tilted his head and asked the old lady, "Grandma, what is an heir?" ”
When the old lady of the Yin family heard this, her expression immediately became serious, and she looked at Yin Liren, who was silent on the side, and she couldn't get angry, and asked a little unpleasantly, "What do you think?" ”
Since Kang's departure, Yin Liren has always been like this, her life is still normal, but she looks at it but has no energy, and she is depressed all day long. The old lady of the Yin family felt that some of them were a little iron.
If you want to say that these concubines in the family, which one is not more colorful than Kang's, and which one is not better than Kang's will be pleased? Besides, if he wanted, no matter how good-looking she was, she could find him back immediately.
Maybe we can have another son. The Yin family has a big business, but there is only one heir like Yin Ping, and there are too many variables.
But his son is not angry, but he likes Kang's like that.
Listening to the old mother's question, Yin Liren hurriedly accompanied her and said with a smile: "Mother, in my opinion, it is only right to let this kid go to the big Buddha temple and return his wish in front of the Bodhisattva." ”
As soon as Yin Ping said the word "heir", he believed it, although he also suspected that the kid wanted to take the opportunity to play.
Hearing Yin Liren say this, the old lady of the Yin family thought about it and said: "That's the reason, I think so too, if I make a wish, I will definitely go to repay it." It's just that this journey is too far, and the thought of this child going out for a long time and no adult following me makes me feel uneasy. ”
Hearing this, Yin Liren said: "What are you afraid of, he is a man now, where is anyone going to beat him?" If you want me to say, it's time to go out and practice. I'll send him a few little guys with some kung fu to follow, and buy a few good horses, and I'll be fine with it. ”
He didn't want to go along. It's not that he's afraid of being tired, but when he arrives in Qingshan County, how should he get along with Kang's? It's far away now, but there are enough excuses.
Seeing that Yin Liren didn't care at all, the old lady of the Yin family said, "Ahhh Now in this world, in the end, male babies are noble. How old is my grandson? That's why you're so relieved. I'll tell you, you can make good arrangements this time, if this kid has any accident on the road, I won't let you go. ”
Yin Liren hurriedly responded, and took the opportunity to say goodbye, saying that he was going out to prepare items for the road, and the old lady of the Yin family let him out.
Either way, he didn't want anything to happen to Yin Ping. And. To put it mildly, if something really happened to Yin Ping, it is estimated that he will spend the rest of his life in concubines every day.
Yin Ping was very happy in his heart, and said in his heart that he finally had the opportunity to go on a long trip, not only to meet the Kang family, but also to reunite with Ye Feng and Xue Dan. It's just that I don't know how the two of them are doing now.
Ye Feng is not worried, it is said that he has now opened a shop and is the boss. This kid was unusually good at running a life when he was in the Nameless Temple, and he also had the skill of pruning flowers and trees. What he was worried about was Xue Dan, afraid that he would have a bad temperament and not be able to live with his father and mother, so don't go to the temple to be a monk again.
Ever since Ye Feng wrote to him to tell him that Xue Dan had also found a home, he had been wanting to visit Qingshan County.
Well, now, the opportunity has finally arrived.
For Yin Ping's departure, several concubines were naturally happy, although they did not show it on their faces at all. This time, their inner activities were surprisingly consistent, that is, first ecstasy, and then cursed Yin Ping again in their hearts, hoping that he would have an accident on the road, and it was better not to come back.
By the way, I also brought Kang's with me, and it is better to kill two birds with one stone.
Just now Yin Ping gave the old lady an ordinary hairpin, and she was so happy that she promised to make up for the money she had spent. In order to congratulate the Hu family on their birthday, their daughters began to prepare embroidery half a year in advance, but they only got a "good" word that was neither salty nor light, which was very biased.
Yin Ping didn't know this, and was immersed in the joy of going out. However, Yin Liren was worried about his son, so he thought about the dangers along the way, and then made corresponding preparations.
On the other side, Xue Dan's family in Qingshui Town was also preparing and wanted to go to Qingshan County. Without him, by doing the baked cake business, Zhu and Xue Laohan slowly lived their lives. After thinking about it, I wanted to go there to thank Shopkeeper Ye for his kindness in taking him in.
If it weren't for people's help, they wouldn't be where they are today.
Judging from the face alone, Xue Dan is completely integrated into secular life, because he also began to eat meat, and his hair has grown, and he is tied up according to the hairstyle of men nowadays.
I also began to greet my neighbors, and I had basic communication with everyone, and my eyes were no longer dull.
In short, except for a few wooden ones, some of them are not social, and they are no different from ordinary peasant boys.
Since Xue Dan went home, Xue Laohan's illness has never recurred, because he is happy all day long. Zhu Shi returned to his old business, got up before dawn, and began to wake up the night before.
Xue Laohan naturally got up and burned the fire, and the kang baked cakes.
Finally, sprinkle with a little sesame seeds, and it looks very good.
Before Yin Ping was abducted, Zhu and Xue Laohan were in charge of this business. Because of Zhu's good craftsmanship, the baked cakes of the kang are large and thick enough, but they are very crispy and easy to store, so their stalls are often visited by those caravans, and they buy hundreds of them.
The firelight reflected the red on Zhu's face, which was a color similar to plateau red, and it was also a red that would never recover after being exposed to the sun by working in the fields all year round, a simple red.
Seeing that Zhu's face was happy, and he didn't feel hard because he got up early to make baked cakes, Xue Laohan said, "What are you thinking, why are you so happy?" If you're tired, take a break. There are only three of us, and it's enough to live like this. ”
Xue Laohan's words are indeed not exaggerated.
Other people's families have more than a dozen people at every turn, but their family only has three. At the beginning, Shopkeeper Ye gave them a living allowance, plus the money earned from selling baked cakes in the past few years, it was indeed enough for them to live for decades.
Zhu Shi said: "Tired, tired, I feel that I can't finish it." Speaking of which, our son is almost fourteen this year, and I wonder if it's time to find a family affair and settle down. You didn't look at the second son of Aunt Zhu's family, who is one year younger than our Dan'er, and he was married some time ago. ”
"I know, it's the daughter of the old Chen family, what is Fang's name. To be honest, his family was too anxious, so I didn't see anything good about the girl. And, ah, I heard that the baby is so lazy to do it, even if she marries into the door, she is a troublemaker, a loser. The second aunt of Zhu was anxious, as if she was afraid that she would not be able to marry a daughter-in-law. ”
"If you want to say that you are right, the girl really can't ask for it. Our Dan'er is good-hearted and honest, like the daughter of the Chen family, she doesn't bully her son to death. However, I am also anxious in my heart, and I can't delay like this forever. LeTV, look left and right, it's just not suitable. ”
"What's the panic, you still have to be cautious about finding your daughter-in-law. We are just such a son, we can't wronged him. Besides, our family doesn't have to worry about food and clothing, and it's not the family that treats their daughter-in-law harshly, our Dan'er is also handsome, so why worry about not finding a daughter-in-law. Wait, it's not too late for us to come back after we go to Qingshan County. ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Just sell some more baked cakes to earn more money for his son to save. Zhu said happily.
Xue Dan had actually woken up a long time ago, but Zhu and Xue Laohan didn't allow him to get up, saying that it was the time for him to grow his body, and he wouldn't grow taller if he got up early. Actually, compared to when the Big Buddha Temple came out just now, he has grown tall enough.
However, Zhu and Xue Laohan just felt that he was weak, and they had to kill a chicken to stew every few days to replenish his body.
At the beginning, Xue Dan, like Yin Ping, didn't like meat. However, he couldn't stand the distressed expressions of Zhu and Xue Laohan, so he gritted his teeth and ate some. What Zhu didn't know was that Xue Dan just wanted to vomit when he first ate the chicken, because he felt that the taste was weird, and he felt nauseous in his stomach.
However, looking at the expectant eyes of Zhu and Xue Laohan, he swallowed it with nausea. Slowly, after a long time, I got used to it.
As for these trivial things around him, Xue Dan gradually got used to it.
He was already careful, and it was easier for him to calm down and observe and think than his peers, so he looked more mature. However, it is precisely for this reason that many people feel that although Xue Dan is mature and stable, he can't help but stay a little, thinking that he is an uninteresting person.
Therefore, as many people like Xue Dan's maturity, as many as there are people who don't like his woodenness.
This day is an auspicious day for the zodiac calculated by the old lady of the Yin family, saying that it is suitable for travel, and everything is going well. The luggage and stuff had already been prepared and put into the luxurious carriage.
The old lady took out a lot of her own silver and gave it to Yin Ping, saying that it was for use on the road, and she could buy whatever she wanted to eat. With such a thick pile of silver tickets, I saw that the eyes of several concubines and granddaughters were red, their hearts were sour, and their mouths were bitter, so they couldn't wait to immediately step forward and grab them for their own use.
This old guy is really an eccentric.
Seeing this, the old lady said angrily: "Don't be blushing, if you can give birth to a male grandson for the Yin family in the future, I will still give you silver flowers." ”
Because her heart was sharp and Yin Ping was about to leave the capital and go all the way south, and these concubines only saw the silver, but they didn't know to say some auspicious words, she was naturally unhappy.
Not to mention these thousands of taels of yin, the entire yin family will be her precious grandson in the future. As for the others, it's just that when they get married, they just take out a little bit as a dowry.
Sending you a thousand miles, you must say goodbye in the end.
Under the persuasion of Yin Liren and a few concubines, the old lady went home sullenly.
On the contrary, Yin Ping was happy all the way, going to ride a horse and catch up with the carriage for a while, sleeping in the carriage for a while, and letting the little maid stop the horse for a while, and take them to the inn to eat.
It's just that Yin Ping is also a child who knows what to do, whether it is himself or a little girl, he has not touched a drop of wine. He wants to play, but safety comes first. Ye Feng told him a lot about the dark side of this world.
Along the way, Yin Ping met a lot of people who were in a hurry, and he heard that the other party was the same as him, and he was rushing to Qingshan County, so he had a little more good feelings. Those who are old, weak, sick and disabled, Yin Ping will even invite the other party to walk with him.
As for the poor, he would estimate and give some silver.
In this way, to be a kind-hearted person for a while, and to be a fortune boy for a while, Yin Ping had a very happy journey, and when he walked to a place that was still half a distance away from Qingshan County, he had already picked up four old people, five of them were weak, and there was a child like a child named Hanako.
He was happy, but he suffered a few of the little guys who accompanied him.
Originally, Yin Liren only sent three small servants to follow, but the old lady's decision doubled, that is, six small servants followed, and three carriages were rushed. The most outrageous thing is that one of the carriages was actually full of Yin Ping's favorite food, dry goods and snacks.
Aunt Bai saw that the old lady had prepared a lot of dry goods, all of which were top-quality abalone ginseng winged belly, and she didn't know where to buy them, and she had a little face in front of the old lady, so she asked curiously: "Mother-in-law, what are you going to do when you prepare dry goods?" Ping'er doesn't make a fire to cook on the road. ”
Hearing this, the old lady said: "You idiot, although he can't cook and eat by himself, but there is an inn restaurant along the way, and when you rest, take it to the store and let the boss help cook it, you can eat it, but just give a little extra silver." I don't worry about the ones sold outside, and they are not as good as the ones we bought ourselves. Well, if I were ten years younger, I would have followed. It's old and useless. ”
Aunt Bai rolled her eyes in her heart, and said in her heart, you are not old, anyway, she has never seen an old man like the old lady who is so deaf and clear-sighted, knows everything, and can't even hide it from her.
In this way, on August 17, after picking up 15 old, weak, sick and disabled, scattering more than 1,000 taels of silver, and eating the whole car of abalone ginseng wings, Yinping finally arrived at the county seat of Qingshan County.
When I saw the three vigorous characters of "Qingshan County", Yin Ping didn't feel big, I just felt that I didn't have to rush every day. But a few little guys, it was like tears in their eyes, they finally delivered this little ancestor to their destination safely, and they no longer had to follow him every day to do good deeds.
They are not averse to doing good deeds, but they cannot be as indiscriminate as he is.
Kang had already received Yin Liren's letter from home, and he had been uneasy since the moment he received the letter, so much so that he often made mistakes during this time. Her son has never been far away, and this road is so far, don't have any accidents.
Since a few days ago, she has been standing at the west gate and looking, and even Xiao asked her to go back and wait, saying that she would not be willing to inform her as soon as there was news, and insisted on staying here.
Fortunately, it was a good day, and just after noon, I saw three carriages in the distance coming towards the city gate.
Xiao is still eyesighted, take a closer look and vaguely see that there seems to be a "Yin" word on the carriage, and when it gets closer, Xiao is very sure that this is Yin Ping's car, because he said happily: "Madam, here, Madam, the young master is here." You see, that's the young master's carriage. ”
Hearing this, Kang's was overjoyed, and immediately went down to the city tower, and hurriedly waited by the door. After a while, he saw Yin Ping riding on the horse with a calm spirit, and he did not see any tiredness at all.
got off the horse, and kowtowed to Kang's in a serious manner, then stood up and was pulled into Kang's arms. In the end, Kang took a closer look, and the child not only did not lose weight, but gained some weight.
I really don't know what he ate along the way, and he didn't get thinner after such a long journey. However, it wouldn't be strange if she knew that the Hu family had brought a cart of food specifically for Yin Ping.
took Yin Ping to the residence to wash, and rewarded a few little guys, and Kang's only then repaired a letter to ask someone to bring back to Yin's house.
When the old lady received Kang's family letter, she heard that Yinping had arrived safely, and first folded her hands and said, "Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless", and then saw Kang's saying that Yinping had gained weight, and the old lady was proud, and said to a few concubines: "Look, I let one more car follow me to eat at the beginning, and you still say that I have a lot of things." Now it seems that I was quite right. If it weren't for this truckload of food, would my grandson be able to gain weight? ”
A few people hurriedly complimented them, but they were extremely disappointed, why didn't this fool encounter anything? They have heard that this child is very ostentatious along the way, and he is always a fortune boy.
As the saying goes, wealth should not be exposed, but he is good, as if others would not know that he has silver.
It's just that they forgot one thing, these six little guys are all carefully selected by Yin Liren and know kung fu, and no one dares to fight Yin Ping's idea at all.
What's more, there are a lot of people who go south along the way, everyone walks together, Yin Ping is kind and kind-hearted, almost everyone knows it, even if they want to start, it is difficult.
