Chapter 729: True Fragrance (First Update)
Liu Xian smiled and said to Wang Tianwen: "Brother Tianwen, please come here, the younger brother will take you to my house, the cold house is simple, and please don't dislike Brother Tianwen." ”
Wang Tianwen didn't think much about it and followed Liu Xian.
Along the way, Wang Tianwen saw a large number of thatched houses, and the villagers of Liujia Village had yellow faces and thin muscles, and it seemed that even if it was the Central Plains Immortal Cultivation Realm, the life of the people at the bottom was not easy.
After a cup of tea, Liu Xian stopped, dumbfounded.
"Brother Liu Xian, this is what you call a cold house?"
Wang Tianwen's face was strange, and in front of them, there was a manor covering an area of five or six acres.
Red bricks and green tiles, there are two huge stone lions at the door, and two big-shouldered and round-waisted family members stand at the door, looking proud.
The manor and the humble thatched huts are in stark contrast, as are the janitors and the yellow-skinned villagers.
Liu Xian's face turned red, he hadn't been home for a few years, and his family had undergone earth-shaking changes.
At this moment, a tall middle-aged man and a plump middle-aged woman walked out of it.
"Hey, fourth brother, you're finally back!"
When the middle-aged man saw Liu Xian, his face was overjoyed.
He is Liu Xian's second brother Liu Hu, Liu Hu strongly supports Liu Xian's study, and has been quarreling with his wife over this.
"Second brother, what the hell is going on? This is our house?"
Liu Xian asked in disbelief, has there been too much change in the family!
"This is your house, your sister-in-law and I came back to see my father, we have separated, and my house is not far away. ”
"The fourth uncle is back, or the fourth uncle is promising, the fourth uncle will become an official in the future, but don't forget me and your second brother, we will save our own food and frugality for you to study, the ancestors bless, you have finally come out." ”
The middle-aged woman said with a flattering smile on her face.
"At the beginning, your second sister-in-law was still messing with me, so I said! The fourth brother is Wenqu Xing, our old Liu family's grave is smoking, fourth brother, you haven't been back for a long time, your father and mother miss you very much, come in with me!"
Liu Hu and the middle-aged woman pulled Liu Xian and walked in, with Wang Tianwen following behind them.
Liu Xian hasn't reacted yet, he hasn't come back for a few years, and his family has undergone earth-shaking changes.
It didn't take long for Liu Xian to see his father and mother, who were all dressed in satin clothes and had ruddy faces, which was in obvious contrast to the yellow-skinned villagers of Liujia Village.
"Xian'er, you're finally back, great, second brother, call your brothers and sisters over, let's have a good time together as a family. ”
"Dad, mother, what's going on? I haven't been back for a few years, how did our family become so rich?"
Father Liu smiled and told him what had happened.
After Liu Xian became a student of Yingtian Academy, Li Yuanwai immediately gave their family more than 50 acres of land, Song Yuanwai helped build the manor, Sun Yuan sent furniture, Chen Yuan sent rice, and even the county magistrate sent someone to send a hundred taels of silver.
As we all know, the students of Yingtian Academy came out to be officials, and the minimum was a county order, and Liu Xian's future was limitless.
In addition to the wealthy businessmen rushing to deliver things, Liu Xian's family has many relatives, some of whom have borrowed money. At first, Daddy Liu was not used to it, but as time went by, they slowly adapted to this kind of life.
Father Liu has four sons and two daughters, and his daughter is married, and Liu Xian is the most promising son.
Liu Xian's third uncle Liu Xin was also reused by the shopkeeper because of Liu Xian.
"Dad, mother, how can you accept other people's things, what should we take?"
Liu Xian frowned and said, he still wanted to attack those rich businessmen and magnates! In the blink of an eye, his family became the target of his attack.
How does this make him write a strategy, how does he deal with his classmates?
"Fourth uncle, look at what you said, we don't steal or rob, why don't they give it to us voluntarily? Father and mother have worked hard for this family for most of their lives, shouldn't they live a little better? Should they eat bran vegetables?"
The middle-aged woman said sourly, with a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.
"I didn't mean that, this is not what we earned back, how can we accept it?"
"Fourth brother, what you said is not right, Li Yuanwai is also very kind, you can't let the family bring things back! Besides, your father and mother are a lot older, do you want them to work in the fields? And your nephews and nieces, will they often go hungry in the future? When you become an official, there are more people who honor you, what's wrong with us getting wet? Don't forget, we haven't let you do any work, and the laundry and cooking are done by your sister-in-law and mother, big brother, me, The third brother and his father went to the field, you just had to hide in the house and study, and we worked in the fields, and now that you are out of the field, we can't get rid of it?
Liu Hu complained that in his opinion, studying is to be an official, and being an official is to eat well and dress well, if being an official is to live a more miserable life, who will be an official!
He has just lived a good life for a few years, and naturally he is not willing to go back to his original hard life.
Hearing this, Liu Xian's brows furrowed, he suddenly remembered something, pointed to Wang Tianwen beside him and said: "Dad, mother, this Tianwen brother, he is my classmate, just like me, he is studying in Yingtian Academy." ”
"In the late life, Wang Tianwen saw Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu. ”
Wang Tianwen saluted Father Liu and Mother Liu and said politely.
Knowing that Wang Tianwen was a student of Yingtian Academy, they did not dare to slack off.
"It turned out to be Xian'er's classmate, and if he stayed for a few more days, he would treat this place as his home. ”
Wang Tianwen smiled and agreed, through the changes in the living conditions of Liu Xian's family, it can be seen how much the scholars are valued in the Dayan Dynasty.
That night, Liu's mansion was very lively, and when he learned that Liu Xian was back, wealthy businessmen, in-laws, and old friends came to visit, and the Liu family held a feast for three days and three nights.
At first, Liu Xian was a little uncomfortable, but listening to the praise of his old friends and relatives, he was a little fluttering, Wang Tianwen sat aside, watched Liu Xian and his old friends and relatives push the cup and change the lamp, and shook his head.
It seems that Liu Xian accepted all this calmly, Wang Tianwen did not look down on Liu Xian, everyone's growth environment is different, and the choices they make are different.
The same rice raises hundreds of people, if everyone is the same, the world is boring.
Liu Xian's life now, Wang Tianwen has it at his fingertips, Wang Tianwen is not envious, just a spectator.
Three days later, Liu Xian and Wang Tianwen drank tea and chatted in the stone pavilion.
"Brother Tianwen, do you think I'm a hypocrite?" Liu Xian hesitated for a while, and asked a little nervously.
Daddy Liu fully supported him to study, the neighbors laughed at Daddy Liu, raised a waste, Liu Xian finally got through, and the family lived a happy life because of himself, which made Liu Xian feel very proud.
Ironically, he wanted to write an essay on farming, criticizing the rich businessmen and magnates for occupying a large amount of land, and the common people had no land to cultivate, but now that his family has become a rich man, he has no way to write it.
His brothers and sisters also have a lot of fields, all of which add up to more than 100 acres, which he could not have imagined before.
In fact, he also wanted to return his things, such as the house, furniture, and clothing, and the food! In the past few years, Liu Xian's parents and siblings have had a lot of fish and meat, and they have used good medicine for medical treatment.
As soon as he mentioned returning the things, several sisters-in-law cried, made trouble and hanged themselves, scolding Liu Xian for having no conscience, and his parents didn't want to pay it back.
