The four of them left Qinglong to finish in the border land, and Yuhuatian and Wang Qizong and a group of six people and one dog returned to the capital first. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The city wall in the distance is towering, I didn't feel that I lived in the city, but when I came back this time and saw Ding Yi, I felt majestic. The city wall is 20 meters high, and the cyan city bricks are horizontally in the field of vision, like a steep hill! Ding Yi is sighing at the greatness of the Ming capital, Gao Lishi has jumped off the horse and knelt on the ground and is crying, Ding Yi has relatives in his heart, this trip to go out on an errand, nine deaths, the first batch of Guangjin Yiwei went out more than 300 people, but only three people survived, even thousands of households and hundreds of households were all lost, and the Xichang Fanzi even the major stalls were all wiped out! It is really not easy to come back.
Yuhuatian slowed down the speed of the horse and said to everyone, "Enter the city, give you three days off, and then you will arrange your own arrangements, Su Huirong will follow me into the palace" After finishing speaking, the horse moved forward, Su Huirong naturally followed, for a while, the people on the avenue were in chaos, and when Yuhuatian walked away, someone quietly shouted and scolded!
Wang Qi and Ding Yi and others dismounted and walked, Jin Yiwei did not need to pay the entrance fee, first entered the outer city, Gao Lishi proposed to go home first to see, but Wang Qi always said, "It is strange to go out in March, how can you not go back to the yamen to hand over the order first, and then rest."
Passing through the inner city gate, he came to the gate of Fusi in Jinyi Weinan Town, Chengtianmen, and Wang Qi went in after passing through. Of course, Ding Yi, three people and one dog were not qualified to go in, so they had to wait at the door. After waiting for more than three hours, Mr. Wang Qi came out and asked everyone to go back to their respective homes, find their own mothers, and meet at the hundred households three days later.
For a while, they were like arrows, and when they were a little far away from the yamen of the command, they separated and galloped home.
The Ding family lives near Guangqumen in the outer city, which is the outermost part of the south of the capital, as the saying goes, the south is poor and the north is cheap.
As we approached the Guangqu Gate, the road began to narrow, the houses on both sides became low, the sewage flowed sideways on the roadside, and mosquitoes and flies were all over the ground.
"Mom, Mom, I'm back" Ding Yi saw a middle-aged woman with a bright smile standing in front of the door of the low house. This woman has a wide forehead and a big face, deep fish lines at the corners of her eyes, a few strands of white hair on her temples, and she is wearing a shabby gray gown, with a slightly fat body and concave legs, which is actually a small foot!
Ding Yi jumped off the horse and stood in front of the woman, smiling and speechless, his eyes were blurred.
"I'm back, I'm back, let my mother take a good look, take a good look" The woman stretched out her hand and stroked Ding's face, her face was still smiling, but the tears kept flowing, "Mom is so afraid, Mom is so afraid, when you go to the hundred households to receive your money and food, they all say, they all say, you all go out on an errand this time, all of you are dead, dead! I am scared to death of my mother, many family members of the health center are buying materials for the White Banner Museum! I don't believe it, my family Ding Yi is very blessed!" I went to Beiding Niangniang Temple to ask for a signature, saying that you are auspicious, and you will be killed, but my mother is still afraid, still afraid! I knew that my mother would not let you be a brocade guard, and my mother had no money to inquire about useful news, so it was good to come back, and it was good to come back! I haven't eaten yet, I'll go get some food!" The woman was a little incoherent, and kept patting around Ding Yi, "It's taller, it's stronger, it's darker"!
"Mother, let's go into the house and talk" Ding Yi turned around and tied the horse to the door frame, the house was shabby, and there was not even a stump to be found around it.
Ding Yi pulled his mother's short body and was about to enter the door, when a white-haired old woman rushed out next to him, and grabbed Ding Yi, "Where is my Guo Si, haven't you come back?" A group of neighbors surrounded him, looking at Ding Yi, who was tall and dressed in brocade clothes, sighed!
"Who is Guo Si?" Ding Yi was a little confused, he didn't know such a person.
"When my family moved here, you went out on an errand, Guo Si was from a thousand households with you, and the neighbors chatted here to know that Guo Si had just made up for the brocade and the guards for a long time, this is Guo Si's mother Guo Gao, she compensated me several times to inquire about the news of the thousand households, how is Guo Si, is he back?" Ding Yi's mother hurriedly explained!
"Guo Si, I don't know, there are many people in the Thousand Households, I only know the situation of our 100 households" Ding Yi knows, Guo Si is only afraid of the bad luck, and he still can't do the thing of lifting the lid, it is estimated that the Thousand Households Office should be notified soon!
At this time, a strong young man came over and hugged Guo Gao's and said, "Mom, let's go to my brother's hundred households to have a look!"
Ding Yi's joy at going home was a little gloomy after this interruption, and he arched his fist to the surrounding neighborhoods, and said, "It's all scattered, it's all scattered, I've just come back, and I'll give you a gift to the neighbors another day!" I'm going to move out soon, anyway.
Coming into the house, the low room is a little small, there is a big pit in the middle of the door, there are two quilts against the wall, there is a large square table on the left side, there are four benches around, there is a stove by the door on the right side, it is indeed poor, a cottage is responsible for all the bedrooms and guest rooms, this house is only four months, these four months Ding Yi went out for three months, this house is still strange to Ding Yi!
As soon as Ding turned around and closed the door, the light in the room dimmed instantly, and the papier-mâché window was not very transparent, "What door is closed in the daytime" Ding Yi's mother was going to open the door again!
Ding Yi grabbed his mother, "Don't open it, look what this is" Ding threw the burden on his back on the bed, and there was a loud noise!
"This, this, this!" Ding Yi's mother, who was still hanging teardrops, was stupid!
"Let's move, let's buy a big house, Mom, invite you a few maids, find a housekeeper, let's live the life of a rich man!" Ding Yi's face was full of red light, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and kept describing the beautiful life in the future!
After taking a gold bar, Ding Yi asked his mother to put away everything else, but unfortunately the house was surrounded by walls, and there was nowhere to hide! Ding's mother wrapped the burden and stuffed it into the quilt next to the bed, and the person refused to go down to the kang again.
Ding Yi shook his head and greeted "Mom, I'm out" Ding's mother didn't say a word, leaned on the quilt with her back, and entered a fugue state, her mouth was still slurking, I don't know what it means!
Ding Yi rode to Chongwenmen, found the tooth man, and asked the other party to provide a few houses for sale. Yaren asked Ding Yi for a request, and he said that there was a property that was just right, that is, a resigned official Hanlin wanted to leave Beijing and sell the property. There are about 20 houses, and there is a larger yard and well in the backyard, but the asking price is high, 280 taels of snowflake silver, it is not easy to find a buyer for a while, Ding Yi thinks about it compared to the house price in Beijing in his dream, it is really cheap, Ding Yi told the tooth man to ask that family to see the house tomorrow!
Ding Yi then went to the famous Duyiwei Food Shop in the capital and ordered a table of hard dishes, the so-called hard dishes, big fish and big meat, big benefits!
When she arrived at home, Ding's mother was still sitting on the bed and laughing stupidly!
Ding Yi beckoned his mother to eat, and when the meal was taken out of the food box, Ding's mother actually shed tears again, saying that Ding's father was the most greedy, and if Ding's father was still there, I don't know how happy I would be!
After eating, I cleaned up and told my mother about the experience of these days, and chatted about some family things, and finally it was evening.
When it gets dark, there is a pit in the house, Ding Yi has to deal with sleeping, and he is not solid all night, for a while his mother turns over and over, and after a while, his mother sits up and holds the burden and smirks, and he is worried that the horse at the door will be stolen.
