30 The Ye family in the mountain village (three watches)
Autumn is the harvest season. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The state is mountainous, the highlands and hills are more common, and even many small county towns are built on slight slopes, although there is no wealth in other states in the imperial capital, but there is this vast black soil, suitable for farming, but there are not many merchant families, but there are a large number of squires and landlords.
A small village outside Funing County, there are not many villagers, only dozens of households, few outsiders come here, this is only in the autumn harvest season every year, the squire comes here to collect grain money. The village is located on a small hillside, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and about eight miles away from Funing County, so it is called Balipo by the local villagers.
In the early morning, although it was just dawn, the village was already full of smoke, and the villagers all got up to live and cook.
In the originally quiet mountain forest, a horse-drawn carriage broke the peace, but after all, this is a mountain road, not as smooth as the official road, slightly bumpy.
Yi'er opened the curtain on the side of the carriage, the rolling mountains, and the slightly undulating land between the mountains were stacked with straw briquettes, and the autumn harvest had been harvested here. The mountains are red, the fields are golden, if you don't seek fame, this is definitely a paradise.
One side of the water and soil raises one side of the people, presumably the people here are also simple,
"I don't know what my uncle and aunt look like, but Brother Luo is so kind, presumably the son follows his father!" Yi'er looked at the sparse village in the distance, she suddenly envied, the sunrise and sunset, the morning cooking star meal, like a bell acacia, "I don't know if I can change my brother to a thatched house in the future, plant a field, don't think about anything, just live comfortably!"
"Miss, it's here!" the groom pulled the reins, and the carriage carried steadily beside an ancient tree.
"Okay!" Yi'er leaned out of the carriage and jumped out of the carriage.
"I'm tired!" Yi'er said.
"The little one is waiting for the young lady here!" said the groom, who drove the car, turned a corner in the mountain road, and stopped aside.
Yi'er was dressed in a light green coat and long hair in a shawl, "My brother's house is the fourth room east of the old tree at the edge of the village!" Yi'er jumped all the way, but walked extremely fast.
Occasionally, a few dogs barked from the village, "This is it!" Yi'er tidied up her clothes before she stepped forward to lock the door.
"Who!" After a while, the door opened, and a little girl older than Yi'er poked her head out.
"Xiao Dan, is it Aunt Yan? you let her come in and sit for a while, and I'll go get the basket!" a woman's voice came from inside the room.
As soon as Yi'er heard this name, she knew that this little girl who was slightly older than herself was her brother's own sister, Ye Dan, who was three years younger than Ye Luo, so that Ye Dan was four years older than Yi'er.
Ye Dan looked at the person in front of her, her skin was like agar, her breath was like a white lotus, her cheeks were flushed, and she was so cute, although she was dressed in a blue plain dress, but she had only seen it in the county, and at first glance, she was from an extraordinary background.
Ye Dan was stunned, not knowing what to say!, "You...... Hello, who are you looking for!"
"You are Sister Dan, right! My name is Nangong Yi, you can just call me Yi'er!" Yi'er smiled and hurriedly took Ye Dan's hand, "Brother Ye Luo asked me to come!" Yi'er puffed out her mouth.
"What, big brother asked you to come!" Ye Dan was taken aback, "How is it possible, big brother is still in the martial arts!"
"Sister Dan, this matter is a long story, let me go into the house and talk about it with my uncle and aunt!" Yi'er couldn't help but say.
"Okay!" Ye Dan pulled Yi'er and walked into the house.
"Xiao Dan, pour a glass of water for your aunt!" Mother Ye thought that the woman next door came to her, and the two of them went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables together yesterday, but they were busy cooking this morning and did not separate their hands and feet.
"Mother, it's not Aunt Yan!" Ye Dan walked to the stove and looked at the busy mother.
"Who is that?" Ye Mu lifted the lid of the pot, and here was a simple batter.
"It's the eldest brother...... "Ye Dan is not worth introducing Yi'er.
Ye Mu thought she had heard it wrong, "Xiaoluo is back?"
"Oh, no, forget it, come and see for yourself, I'll call Dad!" As he spoke, Ye Dan opened the back door of the kitchen stove and went to the backyard to call Ye's father......
In the room, Yi'er stood up and bowed to Mother Ye, "Aunt Ye, hello! My name is Nangong Yi." "Mother Ye is also flustered, why did such a beautiful little girl come to her family, what is going on.
At this time, Father Ye and Ye Dan also came, and Yi'er bowed to Father Ye again.
"Brother Luo asked me to come, this is his handkerchief!" Yi'er was so smart that she could see the confusion in the eyes of the three of them at a glance, she hurriedly took out the handkerchief that Ye Luo handed him and handed it to Ye Mu.
Ye Mu looked at it, "This ...... This is indeed a small fall!" Ye Mu's eyes turned red.
At that time, the Ye family was very poor, Ye Luo was always sick, and the burden on the family was even heavier.
Mother Ye had no choice, so she went to help the neighbors make clothes, picked up some materials, and went home to make clothes for the two children, but they were all scraps, and the clothes made were naturally spliced, which was not good-looking, but they were all new fabrics, and the two children were also happy.
This handkerchief is made of materials picked up in those years, and it can be seen that it is stitched with needles and threads, and later Ye Luo was elected to Wuyuan, and he also took away this handkerchief, I didn't expect to see this handkerchief after so many years.
"Mother, what's wrong with you!" Ye Dan couldn't remember what happened when he was a child.
"It's okay, it's okay!" Ye Mu wiped the corners of her eyes, "Nangong ......" Ye Mu knew that the person in front of her was definitely the child of a big family, and the biggest place she went to was Funing County, so she didn't know what to call Yi'er.
"Aunt Ye, it's good if you call me Yi'er, my brother should have already rushed here!"
"That'...... Yi'er, this ...... What's going on!" Father Ye hurriedly asked, their Ye family has lived here for generations, and they are all honest farmers.
Yi'er pondered for a while, and began to tell the three of them what had happened, but a lot of them were omitted in the middle, and she didn't mention Ye Luoye's invasion of the palace at all, nor did she say that she was a princess. This is also what Ye Luo meant, he can't tell his father and mother everything like he did to Yi'er.
If Yi'er said that Ye Luo is now a wanted criminal by the current imperial court, I am afraid that I will not be able to accept it with the concept of my father's mother. All Yi'er turned around and said that Ye Luo was famous in Wuyuan, won the martial champion, and was going to Liangzhou to take office, and now he is finishing there!
"Uncle and aunt, now I think you should leave here with me!" Yi'er couldn't help but say......
