In the eighteenth year of the Jin Yuan of the Liang Kingdom, the winter of this year came exceptionally early, the wheels rolled forward, the sky was bright, Gansui and Banxia's family were about to leave this place in a carriage, and Gansui was about to rise to the prefect of Liangzhou.

Gan Sui was here for three years, and after spring ploughing that year, he found that the soil here was very suitable for growing tea, so he led the people of the county to reclaim the emperor for planting tea in addition to growing grain. The sales channel is Wang Xiaoshan, who is directly connected, and after the sea ban, the shipping was nationalized, but two ships were rented for civilian use. Although the rent is high, the return is also considerable, Wang Xiaoshan rented one of them and ran by sea. The child turned one year old, and Bai Qian also ran with him, and when he came to collect the tea leaves, he told Banxia that she had seen a strange man with blond hair and blue eyes.

Banxia pretended to be surprised, but in modern times, I really don't think it's unusual to see foreigners.

The tea market is available, and Gan Sui specially found a doctor of tea science to teach people how to plant, pick, and fry, and every corner of this town has his memories. Gan Sui walked very low-key, the people have lived well in recent years, and they were ready to hold a long street banquet for him, but Gan Sui refused, and the family was ready to drive a carriage out of the city before dawn.

The people had been waiting there for a long time, their faces a little blurred in the mist, but everyone was looking at them eagerly.

"Lord Gan, you saved the lives of the children in my family...... This is the chicken raised at home, the chicken soup that you take with you to eat on the road. ”

"Lord Gan, this is my family's newly fried tea ......"

"Gan-sama ......"

Gan Sui stepped out of the carriage: "Everyone, please listen to me." I have received everyone's kindness, and I have been an official for three years, and I rely on the support of my fathers and fellow villagers. I have handed over all the affairs with Wang Xianling, and there will be no major changes in the tea trading after I leave, so please rest assured. We still have to remember that tea is our way to prosperity, but food is the foundation of our survival, and we must not convert farmland to tea trees for temporary business. There is no banquet in the world, don't send it, don't say goodbye. ”

"Gan-sama ......"

The group waved goodbye.

"Sister, why did they all come to see off their brother-in-law?"

"Because my brother-in-law is good to them, they are naturally grateful, and the most important thing for an official is to be good to the people."

"Anzi will also be a good official who is good to the people in the future." Anzi swore solemnly. Banxia patted him on the head, thinking that you will be the biggest official in the entire Liang Kingdom in the future, and I hope that you will still not forget your original intention.

Liangzhou is desolate, the wind and sand are particularly large, and there are heavy soldiers guarding the border between the two countries, the winter is dry and cold, and the pregnancy is found on the way in the middle of the summer. I finally found an inn, and after Banxia got off the bus, it was so dark that I was going to vomit bile.

Gan Sui carried her into the inn and asked for a room to live in.

"This belly must be a kid, so naughty." Banxia said weakly. It's so hard to get pregnant.

Gan Sui took water to rinse her mouth, "I think it's a girl, very squeamish, and needs to be taken care of." ”

Since he knew that Banxia was pregnant, Anzi and Gan Sui both wanted a little girl like crazy demons, and Banxia thought that if it was a boy, the two of them would be sad to death.

Gan Sui saw that Banxia was so uncomfortable, and said, "Why don't you stay here for a while longer, and then go to Liangzhou when you are better?" ”

"It's goodbye, it's morning sickness, it's okay, I heard that it's not a few days away, it's okay." As he was talking, there was a knock on the door, "Sister, brother-in-law is me." ”

"Come in."

Anzi came in with a bag of fruit, "Sister is still very uncomfortable, I brought oranges, this is sweet and sour, the most appetizing, sister want to eat one." ”

"I really want to eat it when you say that, you can peel one for me."

Anzi is a nine-year-old boy in a blink of an eye, this look is seven points similar to Qi Nanxing, but Anzi's temperament is more gentle, and Gan Sui looked at him with a very complicated mood. "I see you've been sullen for the past few days, but what did your father say in his letter a few days ago?" Banxia knew that Gan Sui and his father had always corresponded, but this time when she received the letter, Anzi didn't tell her for the first time, and she was depressed for a few days, which made Banxia have to be a little worried.

"Daddy knew that I was going to Liangzhou and told me not to run around, saying that the people of Liangzhou City were barbaric and aggressive, and they should not easily clash with people."

"Your daddy cares about you."

"I get it." Anzi handed the orange to Banxia "My sister is still pregnant, don't worry too much about me, I've grown up, I'll take care of myself." Now my sister's biggest thing is to take good care of her body and give birth to a beautiful little niece. ”

"I don't know why you and your brother-in-law are so patriarchal, what if it's a boy at that time?"

"Although I prefer girls, as long as my sister gave birth to him, I will love him very much. I just saw a beautiful cloth on the street, and I have already bought it, and when the time comes, I will let Sister Shan Yu make clothes for the baby. ”

Banxia couldn't imagine at all, Shan Yu is such a brave girl, embroidery skills are also quite exquisite, after the frank talk that year, she didn't deliberately take care of Anzi, just started on some small things, made clothes, or helped teach martial arts together, most of the time with Banxia to take care of things in the house.

Among the more than ten girls adopted in the library at the beginning, several of them followed the mountain gardenia school girl, and the mountain gardenia was cold and warm, and inadvertently gave them a lot of care on weekdays. When I left this time, many girls were reluctant and cried all day long. They are all orphans left behind after the earth movement, if they hadn't been willing to give them a place to live and find someone to teach them their crafts, in this troubled world, it is estimated that they would have died a long time ago.

Banxia understands Gansui's mood, the two of them have also come over from hard times, they have eaten coarse grains, gnawed cold steamed buns, lived in a dilapidated house, and said that they love the people like children, but in fact, they are just pushing themselves and others.

"The baby's clothes are enough, and the fabrics you bought here are enough for the baby to wear from childhood to adulthood."

In addition to the clothes that Shan Yu has already started to make, Lu Ying also bought fabrics, Sister-in-law He made small shoes for the baby, and Anzi wants to buy them for the baby every time he sees something, thanks to the fact that he has a rich father. Over the years, every letter was accompanied by a silver ticket, and the denomination was so large that Banxia didn't dare to accept it when he saw it for the first time, and then he became accustomed to it.

"Girls just like beautiful clothes, if other babies have clothes, our baby doesn't, then she will definitely be sad, so I take advantage of the present to buy more, in the future the baby doesn't like to have a choice, right, brother-in-law."

Banxia looked at Gan Sui, he was still deeply surprised, Banxia glared at him, and Gan Sui touched his nose uncomfortably: "It's not that it's just that the daughter's family needs to be pampered, it must be to buy more things to prepare, I saw a very beautiful bracelet today......"

"You can't buy it. Now I don't even know the gender of the baby, and it will be a waste if it is a boy at that time. ”

"It's late, I sold it to my big girl." Gan Sui took out a jade bracelet from his arms and put it on Banxia's wrist, "Lady, you have worked hard, you will always be the most delicate big girl in my heart." ”

Banxia looked at him sweetly,

"Well, I don't think I have any value in existing, I'll go to the kitchen to see if I want to buy a pigeon for my sister to stew." With that, he went out the door.

Banxia and Gan Sui were tired for a while, and remembered the matter: "I always feel that Anzi's mood is not quite right these days, you pay more attention to him, according to his age, he is about to reach puberty, but don't become a rebellious boy." ”

"Okay, I'll talk to him later, you're tired too, sleep for a while, I'll call you dinner later."

"Okay." Banxia lay down and rested. Gan Sui tucked her quilt and kissed her forehead, and then went out.

After going out, I saw Anzi pulling the leaves in the courtyard every time. Gan Sui walked over: "This flower will be pulled bald by you if you pull it twice." ”

"Brother-in-law, why did you come out?"

"Your sister is a little tired, and I don't worry about you, let me come out and have a look."

"I'm the one who worries my sister."

"We are a family, there is nothing that cannot be shared together, your sister is worried about you, and I am also worried about you. You have something on your mind, do you want to tell me? ”

Anzi hesitated for a moment, and took out a letter from his arms, "This is the latest letter from my father, do you want to see it?" ”

Gan Sui opened the letter, and the letter said some ordinary things, but at the end of the letter he wrote the following sentence: "The family is under control, whether my son wants to return." ”

After reading it, Gan Sui handed the letter to Anzi: "What do you think in your heart?" ”

"I'm in turmoil. My brother-in-law knows my father's identity, right, but I also know it. When I was younger, I didn't understand it, but now I'm getting clearer. My mother is the Empress Yuan who died early, and my uncle is the general of the Lin family's army, and my father is ...... It's the emperor. Then I'm ......"

"You can choose, you can be an Anzi, or you can go back and be Your Majesty's son. In any case, I, your sister, and Your Majesty will respect your wishes. ”

Yasuko thought for a while before saying, "When I was young, I was always afraid of being abandoned by my sister because then I would be a homeless child. But now that I'm older, I wonder if there will be many children like me, as homeless as me, even more pitiful than me, who may not be able to meet a kind person like my sister. I'm starting to understand more and more, brother-in-law, why are you so strict with me, I actually have no choice. Since Daddy wants to break with the Wen family, he must not be the son of Concubine Wen, and he has no other sons. So whether I want to or not, I always have a burden that I need to carry. Anzi said and her voice drooped, "But I'm still greedy for the warmth of home, I don't want to go back so early, I want to see if the baby is gone, brother-in-law, am I too selfish." ”

"No, you're a good boy. You are still young, since your father asked you, it must be able to persevere, he is still young, and you still have a long time to grow. It's okay. ”

"Brother-in-law, I really don't want to leave......"

The more he grows, the clearer he will understand that the joys and sorrows of the world are never rotated by human will, and he is wantonly plucked by a pair of hands called fate, which involves everyone.

When Banxia saw Anzi again in the evening, he was already as usual, Banxia looked at Gan Sui approvingly, the young man has a talent for uncovering the young man's mind. Gan Sui could only smile.

Finally, when they couldn't hold on in the middle of summer, they arrived in Liangzhou, and when they arrived, it was evening, the red glow in the sky, the yellow sand stretching in the distance, and the sunset on the magnificent long river.

Liangzhou is a new starting point.
