Chapter 381: Returning Home
The autumn breeze is cool, and the white dew is frost!
There was a big happy event in the Weining Hou Mansion, and Fan Niangzi took her eldest daughter-in-law and granddaughter Chen Bing to Jiaodong. The third lady is happy, this is a great joy, her son has become famous, and there are descendants, so she naturally wants to worship her ancestors.
Ancestor worship is a traditional Chinese culture.
Chen Yuan is a fake Chen family and has no feelings for the Chen family, but Fan Niangzi has made up her mind, her Chen family also has more than 50 families in Jiangning, which is not small, and there have been some contacts over the years, but Chen Yuan doesn't go around.
The family packed up and took a boat to Jiangning.
The Grand Canal, which was dug by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty with extravagant exhaustion of people's resources, has now not only become a north-south transportation artery, but also irrigated countless fertile fields. When they set off, they also met an unexpected visitor, Zhu Zhandong, who has now been crowned King Xiangxian, and his vassal territory is in Xiangyang, and now he is going to the domain, and he also brought Zhuo Yuemei.
They walked together and recounted the past. Until Nanjing, they were separated, and Zhu Zhandong and Zhu Zhandong were already in a relationship, and Zhu Zhanrong planned to go to Xiangyang and Zhuo Yuemei to hold a wedding.
There is no banquet in the world, and when they arrived in Nanjing, Chen Yuan and they were about to dock, and Zhu Zhanyuan and the others continued to go south.
In the early morning of Nanjing, the misty white fog shrouded it, and the hull of the ship floated steadily in the water, slowly swaying with the impact of the waves. Chen Yuan: They parted here.
"If you have time, you will come to our wedding." Zhu Zhan sent out an invitation.
"Sister Geng, you must come."
Geng Cairuo stroked her hair lovingly and nodded.
On the shore, Chen Bing was a child, so she ran around, and the three-day boat ride suffocated her, shouting to buy rock sugar gourds.
"Rock sugar gourds are very sweet, and they are not good for teeth." Chen Yuandao.
"It's okay to eat less, young master, you are too picky, and you are reluctant to buy anything for Bing'er. Bing'er, tell your dad to get the money. Chunhua half-squatted, teasing Chen Bing.
Looking at the little girl's watery eyes, Hou Ye surrendered, handed over the money, and smiled bitterly: "Take it easy, children can't be spoiled." ”
"Got it." Chunhua said on her lips, she didn't take it to heart at all, she pulled Chen Bing around shopping, Chen Yuan's three ladies followed behind, Qiuyue supported Fan Niangzi, she couldn't sit on the boat, vomited a few times, and now she is in a very bad spirit.
Jiangning Chenjiazhuang, originally the hometown of the Chen family, Chen Yuan's father was down, so he moved to Zhangzhuang, and the house in Zhangzhuang has been abandoned. The family went directly to Chenjiazhuang.
Chenjiazhuang has already been lively, Hou Ye is coming to worship his ancestors, and the people of the entire Chen family clan are not idle, and they are all excited.
The Chen family is out of the marquis, and their Chen family has become the largest household in Jiangning, and no one can scold them when they walk outside.
When the old patriarch got the news of Hou Ye's arrival, he deliberately fasted and bathed for three days, so that the ancestral hall was cleaned spotlessly. When the Hou Ye arrived, he led the Chen family to kneel and bow together.
Then Chen Yuan performed the family salute, he was a little reluctant, but seeing that his mother was very happy, his face was full of pride, and he had to operate under their guidance one by one.
When I came to the ancestral hall, the entire ancestral hall had already been cleaned by the clansmen, and the tablets were wiped clean. Chen Yuan noticed that his "cheap father" tablet was also here, obviously in order to please himself, and put the "cheap father" in an important position.
On the top of the offering table, there were already three animal offerings, and the incense burner was filled with incense smoke, and candles were lit to shine.
"All the men enter the ancestral hall, and the women are waiting outside!" The old patriarch was holding a cane, and the beard on his wrinkled old face was windless, and he looked extremely solemn at this moment.
In ancient times, only men could be sacrificed, this was the rule.
Under the leadership of the old patriarch, Chen Yuan followed suit.
"Burn incense, light wax! Worship ancestors—"
Behind Chen Yuan, there were other men in the family, and there were also two who served in the yamen, who were very enthusiastic about Chen Yuan, if it weren't for the ancestral hall, they would have come to talk a lot.
The old patriarch muttered something, and after a while, he led all the clansmen to kowtow again.....
For more than an hour, this ancestor worship was completed, even if many old people were already numb in their legs, but they all persevered, everyone was solemn and grand!
After the ancestor worship was completed, it was to eat together, and Chen Yuan went to Chenjiazhuang to live for three days, which was considered to have completed the task of worshipping the ancestors. And he departed. He won't promise anything to the clansmen, he doesn't have the ability, and pushing it up is also a disaster for everyone, if he has the ability, he can mention one or two points, and give an explanation to the old lady.
Chen Bingxiao arrived in a strange place, and there was curiosity everywhere, so the family planned to go to the house sent by King Zhao before to live for two days and then return to Jiaodong.
After the relocation of the capital, Nanjing was not as lively as before. But after all, it is the warm Jiangnan, the climate is suitable, the people have a bumper harvest, and the streets are still very prosperous.
The third lady is pregnant, it is not appropriate to move more, accompany Fan Niangzi to the house to clean up, the eldest wife is also at home, the second wife went to see the old man, Chen Yuan knows that it should be the descendant of Jing Nan, he does not interfere, and does not ask much.
Chunhua and Qiuyue took Chen Bing shopping, Chen Yuan had nothing to do, stretched his waist, and walked around Nanjing with great interest. First I went to the river to walk, and in the evening, the lanterns, the painting boat, everything was so familiar.
The bewitching woman on the flower boat beckoned to Chen Yuan's side, not knowing whether to beckon herself or the boy next to her.
As soon as the flower boat docked, many sons and brothers rushed up, accompanied by rude scolding: "Everyone is here to prostitute, Sister Yan is mine tonight, Yang Shaoyou, you are not allowed to rob me." ”
Yang Shaoyou shook his head and shook his head: "Romantic affairs, you love me, play the piano and sing in duet, fill in the lyrics and talk about poetry, what to say about prostitution, insulting Swen." ”
"Sven is a fart, you are holding Sister Yan, but you are shouting Manzhi in your mouth, typically, eating in a bowl and looking into the pot - I don't know where she is, Sister Yao, can make readers never forget——"
"Nonsense, she's not—she is—"
Gu Yan: "Yes, it's not. ”
Yang Shaoyou's face turned red, unable to refute, the woman who was talking was indeed from the Qinglou, and said: "She is not voluntary, she comes out of the mud without staining, and the water is clear and ripples without demons-".
The rough man took a sip: "Come on, how can anyone who doesn't want a man when you get to the Qinglou, look at you every day, your soul is not giving up, it seems that you have not entered her eyes-"
"Nonsense, I'm—I'm respecting her—"
"Fart!"
"Insult Sven, insult Sven!"
"Haha-" The flower boat laughed.
Chen Yuan didn't hear this, turned to leave, and continued to walk aimlessly.
After a while, I actually arrived at Changganli, which is located in the south of the city, which is a place where officials and people live together, and at the same time, it is the last stop for the gentry and celebrities of Nanjing City to welcome and send off guests, so several hotels and inns have been opened at the entrance of the alley, and the business is quite good.
There are also some small traders selling special products in the alley, Nanjing is the main traffic artery, there are many merchants from the south to the north, and there are always some special products to be brought before traveling, so the life of the traders here is still good.
In terms of prosperity alone, Nanjing is better than Beijing.
When the capital moved north, law and order declined, and the dragons and snakes in Changganli were mixed, and the members were more complicated.
Aunt Yu, who set up a stall to sell powder, sat at the entrance of the alley. Thinking that there was no business for a long time, she was lazily leaning against the wall basking in the sun, but her eyes kept looking at the tavern next to her, obviously jealous of other people's good business, and muttered: If you look demonic, you will seduce the little white face.
The proprietress of the tavern is bright-skinned, wearing a delicate red skirt covered with a moon-white cloak with light lines of plum blossoms, and her gait is curling, and she walks like a fairy.
Her tavern was overcrowded, and the other vendors were jealous.
Doesn't it say that the beauty is delicious, the pity-faced and peach-cheeked, slim body like the moon, even if she wears a cloth skirt, is pretty and lovely, soft and charming, so that people can look at the pleasing eye, the red sleeves serve the wine, and the wine seems to be more fragrant. How could this guest not flock to him?
In front of her, a boy shook a folding fan, elegant and handsome, dressed in white.
"Miss Tang, long time no see—"
The woman smiled: "Didn't Childe drink here yesterday?" ”
"Well, that's what the saying goes—a day is like three autumns."
The woman saw his embarrassed appearance, "sneered" and laughed, like a peach blossom, seeing the child's heart in front of her, she couldn't help but want to touch her hand, but the pair of pretty eyes that were curved like a string moon just swept him gently, and his hand immediately retracted, and said curtly: "Miss Tang, I ...... I ......".
"Hum-", the sharp dagger slammed on the table, making a buzzing sound, and the son in front of him was so frightened that he couldn't help but take two steps back.
The woman had a pretty face and said coldly: "Wu Gongzi, it's okay to drink, if you want to be lighter than me and bully me as a weak woman, I'm not a good match!" ”
Wu Gongzi was so frightened that he was sweating profusely.
At this time, outside the tavern, Shi Shiran walked into a man in a cyan robe, and he couldn't see any characteristics, the only thing was that the eyes were very deep and deep, looking at her: "Miss Tang, long time no see." ”
Wu Gongzi was very angry after hearing this, she was out of control since she saw this woman, although this rose was prickly, even when Bo was angry, it looked so tasteful, and he was so fascinated that he was so obsessed with it. Now look at this beauty is angry, there are still people who dare to touch the head and want to rob their beauty, he snorted coldly: "This brother, don't look at your identity, Miss Tang is like a fairy in the Moon Palace, look at you, the clothes on your body add up to no more than half a tael of silver, and there is no ink on your chest, is it worthy of pursuing Miss Tang?" ”
Chen Yuan was stunned, is he so old-fashioned?
He touched his chin, he didn't want to be like him, he was really surprised to see Tang Sai'er today, she was searched for everywhere in the country, and she was actually under the nose of Nanjing. just got a wig, but no one recognized her as the Buddha mother who used to kill people without blinking.
"Mother, mother, I memorized a hundred words today, you promised me to eat rock sugar gourd-"
Suddenly, a little boy came in from outside, about 4 years old, with pigtails.
When I entered the door, due to the large number of people, one of the children was not paying attention and rolled to the ground. Chen Yuan's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly helped him up.
"Chong'er-" Tang Sai'er was shocked, and he couldn't be surprised why Chen Yuan appeared here, but snatched his child with an arrow, rubbed it for him, and asked in a low voice.
Tang Chong grinned and raised his hand: "Mother, I don't hurt, I want to eat rock sugar gourd-"
Tang Sai'er pinched his little face and said angrily: "You know to eat, rock sugar gourd is not good for teeth-"
It seems that he has heard this somewhere, Chen Yuan opened his mouth wide, son, Tang Sai'er has a son, it seems that he is already married. There were those charming, dream-like in those days.
"Miss Tang, you-" Chen Yuan said astringently.
Tang Sai'er said coldly: "Who are you, why did you call me, do we know each other?" Wu Gongzi, this person is blocking my business, please help me get out of the way. ”
"Boy, don't you go quickly, Lai Toad wants to eat swan meat." Wu Gongzi got the opportunity to perform, so he was naturally extremely happy and drove people away.
Chen Yuan's expression stiffened on his face.
