Chapter 134: The Belle Époque (2)
The genealogy was not written, and that was because it was not necessary.
"After the regime of the Northern Tang Dynasty stabilized, I began to think about this problem" Li Jingtian leaned on the big kang near the window in the western room, rested his elbows on a loose huāsè ink pillow, held a steaming tea cup in his hand, took a sip, and slowly said to Wang Qifang, "At that time, I didn't think that I could help my father overturn the case, but I just thought about what method I could use to make me pay tribute to my parents and siblings in a bright and bright way." ”
"So?"
Wang Qifang sat at the kang table, chatting with Li Jingtian, while half-bowing her head to peel apples, she cut the peeled apples into thin slices, put them on a white porcelain plate with ruffles, pushed the plate to Li Jingtian's side, raised her chin at him, and motioned for him to take a silver skewer and eat it by himself.
"I thought of a lot of ways, but, but none of them are very suitable" Li Jingtian put the teacup on the kang table, twisted up a small silver fork, forked the apple slices and threw them into his mouth, chewed it lightly twice, and found that the taste was not bad, so he ate several pieces one after another, and when he heard the suspicion in Wang Qifang's words, he put down the silver fork, and wiped the fruit stains on his hands with the wet handkerchief placed on the side of the kang, and continued: "Finally, I thought of our ancestor and thought of a way from him. ”
"Old lord Li Tianci?" Wang Qifang didn't understand for a while, she couldn't get on the family tree, what does it have to do with the suspected senior?
"Well, it's the old man." Li Jingtian saw that the suspicion on Wang Qifang's face was even stronger, so he said with a smile: "The old lord is from the Li clan in Longxi, and he is from the same clan and different clans as the royal family of the previous dynasty. ”
Yes? "A wealthy rebel? Wang Qifang couldn't help but open her mouth wide and looked at Li Jingtian in surprise.
"Hehe, yes, that's the kind of situation you think." Li Jingtian shook his head with a smile and said: "In fact, the ancestor just discussed with the elders of the family what is the real loyalty and what is the foolish loyalty, but after leaving the Li family, the ancestor changed his name to Li Tianci, and set up his own hall in Pingzhou, named the renewal hall, he is the first head of the Li family in Pingzhou, and the founder of the Li family in Pingzhou.
According to the habits of the world, when repairing the genealogy, in order to improve their family and county prestige, most of them have a relationship with celebrities, or trace back to a certain clan and a certain emperor, but Li Tianci, the ancestor of the Li family in Pingzhou, did not do this (of course, it is also related to his expulsion from the family), he is not shy about listing himself as the founder of the Li family in Pingzhou, and the ancestors on the family tree are not famous except for indicating the surnames of their parents.
After Wang Qifang heard this story, she secretly pondered that the reason why Li Tianci did not value his ancestral family was probably related to his identity. After all, as a modern person who also came from later generations, she could understand Li Tianci's thoughts very well, so after worshipping the ancestors in the Li family, Grandpa Guo did not add her name to the family tree, and she didn't care.
Thinking of this, she raised her eyebrows and guessed, "Do you also want to stand on your own?" Separated from the Li family in Pingzhou? ”
In this way, Li Jingtian can openly welcome his parents' spiritual positions into the ancestral hall, because if you count according to the genealogy of the Li family in Pingzhou, Li Jingtian is the son of Li Yuanfeng, and Li Yuanheng is only his uncle.
"Well, you guessed right, I did think so, I just wanted to invite my parents' spiritual seat home" Li Jingtian's face showed a faint satisfaction, and said: "Now, hehe, when the new emperor's will is given, I will recollect the bones of my parents and family, and then transport them back to the ancestral home." ”
"Ancestral home? Which ancestral home? Is it the mountain village in the state? Wang Qifang remembered that after getting married, she followed Li Jingtian to the mountain courtyard where she worshipped, and asked in surprise: "What?" You bought that place as your ancestral home? ”
Li Jingtian shook his head, "Of course not, it still belongs to Pingzhou, how can I stand up for myself at the door of my uncle's house?" Those who know will say that I am not greedy for the title of Duke of Fuguo, so I stand on my own and have my own faction, and those who don't know think that I am at odds with my uncle and aunt, and deliberately fight in the ring with the two elders. ”
Speaking of this, Li Jingtian seemed to suddenly remember something, hehe smiled, and said, "Oh, yes, I haven't told you about this yet." With that, he sat up, got off the kang, and without saying anything, he walked out of the west room.
Wang Qifang looked at his back, and was even more suspicious in her heart, 1 muttered in a low voice: "Huh? How much is this guy hiding from me? ”
After a while, Wang Qifang finished drinking a cup of tea, and Li Jingtian walked in with a red lacquer carved huā box.
Putting the box on the kang table, Li Jingtian sat on the side of the kang leaningly, opened the copper lock of the box, turned the box in a different direction, and said to Wang Qifang at the opening: "Look at it, this is our ancestral home." ”
Wang Qifang was stunned for a moment, hurriedly pulled the box, and saw that there were a dozen land deeds in it, she took out the top one, opened it to take a look, and exclaimed: "This, this is Yizhou?" ”
"That's right, it's Yizhou. Didn't you remind me to look for islands at sea? Hehe, I didn't expect your thoughts to be the same as our ancestors. Li Jingtian smiled very proudly, his fingers lightly clasped the table, and said slowly, "After you bought Taohuā Island, I thought about looking for suitable islands in various places along the southeast coast, and I originally wanted to go to Yazhou, but Yazhou is a place of wandering people, and the people on the island are complicated Later, my uncle heard that I was looking for an island......
Li Jingtian paused, his face was full of emotion, and he said with emotion: "Uncle has long known about my heart knot, and at that time, he thought that I was helping my family to find a way out, so he gave me this contract. ”
"This is the contract that the old ancestor asked Emperor Taizu to write in person, and assigned the entire Yizhou to the Li family as a fief?" Wang Qifang couldn't help but hold his forehead, his heart spoke, this old-timer was also able to calculate, knowing that no one would care about a small island in the sea at that time, and he probably didn't plan to go to Yizhou to settle down, but he only thought about letting Emperor Taizu sign such a document, hehe, fortunately she didn't think about developing Yizhou at the beginning, if she was stupid and took someone to develop it with her front foot, the Li family would be able to take Zhou Taizu's handwritten contract to collect the land with the back foot of Xin'er.
Tsk, it's really the old jiān giant cunning, he just helped Zhou Taizu a little bit at the beginning, but he coaxed people to promise him such a big island.
"Yes, but because Yizhou is lonely overseas and there is no strong enough sea boat, our ancestors have not been able to set foot on Yizhou. It is said that when the ancestors returned, they also had regrets, saying that they had left a legacy of "vain treasure island", so that future generations should not forget this ancestral industry, and if there are conditions in the future, Yizhou will be developed. ”
Speaking of this legendary ancestor, Li Jingtian couldn't help but sit up straight, his eyebrows full of admiration and admiration.
Of course, as a modern person, if you don't have any attachment to Treasure Island, then you are too sorry for the years of teaching of the party and the country.
Wang Qifang complained in her heart, folded the contract covered with the big red jade seal and put it back in the box, and asked curiously, "You have already sent someone to Yizhou?" Shall we settle there in the future? Don't go back to the capital? "Yizhou is fine, at least it's safe. And if the business is good, maybe the two of them can still be the owner of the island.
"Hehe, speaking of this, it's really thanks to the shipbuilding technology of the third young master Shi, with the drawings he provided, I ordered three treasure ships, and I had already ordered someone to bring craftsmen and tenant farmers over, and chose a feng shui treasure with mountains and rivers to set the foundation...
After a few months, the house has been renovated. Li Jingtian took the box, buckled the copper lock, and said: "In addition, I also transported hundreds of displaced people and disaster victims, according to the flying pigeon biography sent the day before yesterday, they have settled down in the designated villages and towns, and the fields have almost been reclaimed. I've calculated, when the New Year is over and spring begins, we can move in directly. Of course, the capital still has to come back, after all, the children still have to get married. ”
At the same time, the Li clan ancestral hall was also built, Li Jingtian had already planned that when he moved, he would take the bones of his parents and siblings and the spiritual seat together.
"Shi Wensong is indeed a talent" Wang Qifang nodded, and then smiled as if he thought of something: "By the way, he helped you so much, so he didn't say that he would be paid?" For example, draw him a territory in Yizhou or something? "Since they're all fellow villagers, they should think about the same, right?!
"Huh?" Li Jingtian raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked curiously, "How do you know Third Young Master Shi's request?" ”
Then, he nodded and said, "That's right, Third Young Master Shi asked me for a piece of land, which is next door to our Lijiazhuang, hehe, saying that he will be neighbors with us in the future." ”
I'll just say it. Wang Qifang nodded clearly and said, "Yi En, I understand." The husband is going to establish a hall name in Yizhou, and he also has to rewrite the family tree, right? So Niu didn't let her be recorded in the genealogy of the Li family in Pingzhou.
"That's right, I have also thought of the name of the hall, it is called Yizhou Hall. I am the first head of the family, and you are the wife of the first head of the family, so in the future, we must work hard to carry forward the Li family of Yizhou. "Build a world of their own. Li Jingtian was full of ambition, he had been to Yizhou, and that place was by no means worse than the Northern Tang Dynasty.
Wang Qifang saw that Li Jingtian said sincerely, she also nodded solemnly, and held his hand on the kang table, and the room was full of warmth.
At this time, Zi Zhu, who was waiting outside the door, replied: "The eldest young master, the eldest young grandmother, the lady of the Song family is here." When Wang Qifang heard this, she couldn't help but think of the scene of Song Yuanchun and Li Jingtian in the study, she withdrew her hand, bit her chún, and said in a deep voice, "Please let her in." After saying this, she glanced at Li Jingtian fiercely, and said secretly, I will see your performance later, if you dare to give her autumn spinach, see how I clean you up?!
Li Jingtian felt the cold aura emanating from Wang Qifang's body, and subconsciously shivered, and hurriedly shrank on the kang, trying to reduce his sense of existence.
After a while, Zizhu led Song Yuanchun in.
Wang Qifang sat up straight, looked at Song Yuanchun with a dignified posture, and before she could say anything, Song Yuanchun smiled brightly and said crisply: "Hehe, young grandmother, I helped you, how can you repay me?!" ”
