Embracing the ancient times with roses

This time the Chujiabao motorcade was a bit big, and almost all the relatives in the family came, only Liu Zixu followed Chu Junhao to his father-in-law's house and did not come back, but Chu Batian still brought a congratulatory gift.

This time, Yin Bai specially made long shirts and trousers for the three children with his own hands, which moved Li Xiu. Yin Bai is almost 70 years old, his eyesight is not very good, and there are no reading glasses in this other world. Based on this, he really felt sorry for the three children.

Yin Bai smiled and saw Li Xiu's distressed eyes. He patted his hand and said, "It's okay, my eyes are okay, just thinking that my grandchildren are promising, I'm happier than anything else. I don’t lack anything, so I just want to make clothes for them by myself, and I don’t feel tired. I guess it’s the last time my old man will make clothes for them. I’ve lived such a big age, I’ve experienced many things, and now I’m full of grandchildren , I am satisfied."

When Li Xiu heard it, he felt uncomfortable, wiped his tears with his hand and said, "You will surely live a long life."

After hearing this, Yin Bai nodded and said with a smile, "With your kind words, I also hope that I can see some of my little grandsons marry in the future."

When Chu Junyu, who was playing on the sidelines, heard this, he ran over and said, "Nurse, I will marry my eldest brother tomorrow, and I want to be my eldest brother's wife."

After Yin Bai heard this, "This is feasible." After speaking, he glanced at Tong Xiaobao.

Everyone present glanced at each other, nodded, and agreed, so he called Tong Xiaobao and said, "Xiaobao, you are the first child of the Wuyan family, if you are allowed to marry Junyu, would you be willing?"

Without thinking, Tong Xiaobao nodded immediately and said, "I am willing. If I marry Junyu, I will marry him. He is my wife. I will treat him well in the future."

Li Xiu was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "Xiao Bao, why don't you ask why we let you marry Yu'er? After all, you are brothers."

After Tong Xiaobao heard this, he knelt down in front of Li Xiu without saying a word, and kowtowed three times. When Li Xiu saw that it was okay, he hurried over, "What's wrong with you kid? Get up quickly. "

Unexpectedly, Tong Xiaobao shook his head and said: "Ah, I'm here to thank you. If it weren't for you and Dad who took me in at the beginning, I would have starved to death. I know I was adopted by you. After all these years, you are like your own. You take care of me the same way as your own son, even closer than your own son. You always want to give me the best, even if you treat Tong Rui badly. What do you think, I want to tell you, I am not looking for my own aunt in my life anymore, are you my kin, I am your own son, and I will be your good son-in-law, I will meet Yuer Okay, please allow me to marry Yu'er, I like him and will take care of him for the rest of my life, and I will be filial to you and daddy when you are old."

After hearing this, Li Xiu wiped away his tears and asked, "What are you talking about, kid? How do you know that you are not my own?"

Tong Xiaobao looked at Chu Batian and his wife, and thought for a while: "When I was eight years old during the Chinese New Year in Chujiabao, I heard from a few servants that they praised you for your kindness and said that you were not your own. Children are better than my own ones. I just realized that I am not my own. I asked them at the time, but they refused to tell me. Then I frightened them. If they don’t tell me, I will tell Ah Mo to clean them up. After you promised not to tell me, you told me, since then I know that I am not your own."

Li Xiu picked up Tong Xiaobao as soon as he heard it: "You child, why do you feel so distressed? You will still be my eldest son after nothing happens. No one can change this. Besides, you are my son-in-law. You have to call me Ah."

Tong Xiaobao was overjoyed when he heard it: "Well, Ah, you finally admitted that you are Ah, not Dad."

After Li Xiu heard this, "Stinky boy, you are waiting for me, let's see how I deal with you in a while." After speaking, he and Chu Junyu ran after him, leaving only a few adults talking in the room. There is a child Tong Rui who is in a daze. It turns out that the eldest brother is not Ah's own!

After Li Xiu and the two children disappeared, Yin Bai looked at Chu Batian, "It seems that our castle should be cleaned up, and the talkative servants can't stay."

Before Chu Batian could speak, Bai Shuili said, "Leave this to me."

Chu Batian nodded, saying yes, while Da Zhuang was sitting beside him, listening to what they had to say, but he didn't answer. It's better for him not to intervene in some matters. He is a Chujiabao who has no real power on the surface. Lord,' Besides the matter of the Chu Family Fort, he doesn't want to join in. If he has that time, he might as well stay at home with his wife. Why bother?

.........

At noon, all the young and old at home in the village gathered in the yard of Da Zhuang’s house, where people from the whole village celebrated the sudden emergence of two talents in their village, and everyone also thanked Da Zhuang, if he hadn’t brought the big guys to do business and earn money Money, their life will not be as good as it is now. The most important thing is to thank Chu Batian, who built new houses for the people in the village, so that the big guys can live comfortably, and the arrival of Lixiu , Changed everyone's life, first let the big guy know potatoes, and also led the big guy to find new spices, changed the way the big guy cooks, and so on.

After hearing this, Li Xiu said with a smile, "Everyone, don't say that. If the big guy didn't believe in me, we wouldn't be here today. Let's see if our life is getting better and better. Besides, the big guy knows how to listen to people. This is the principle of persuading to eat enough."

Everyone nodded to show that what Li Xiu said was right, if they were all ignorant, wouldn't it be useless for you to speak out?

Finally, Li Xiu stood up and said, "Today, I want to say in front of all the residents of Tongjia Village that I have already understood your so-called Heavenly Book..."

Before Li Xiu could finish speaking, all the villagers were silent, and suddenly everyone stood up immediately, especially the clan elders who stood up and said, "Brother Xiu, is what you said true?"

Li Xiu nodded and said: "Well, many years ago, on the day my family Tong Rui was born, I suddenly knew many words that I didn't know before. I asked my family Tong Rui to keep it, so I knew it was a word, and then I flipped through it, and I knew what was written on it."

The elders of the clan were excited, and said: "Then brother Xiu, what is written on it?"

Li Xiu took a sip of water and said: "That's not a heavenly book, but the characters are different from ours. They are pinyin letters, which is another way of writing. And what's written on it is a diary, which was written by your ancestor Tong Hui. I wrote his life, followed by his business experience in these years, and the most important thing is that he left you a treasure..."

Before Lixiu finished speaking, everyone stopped talking when they heard about the treasure. If the Tong family hadn’t been too rich, they wouldn’t have been concerned by the court. In the end, they were in danger of almost exterminating the family. Instead of guarding the treasure, they lived in fear , It’s not as good as the present day, although I’m a little tired, but my heart is at ease, when I think of this, I heard the clan elders say: “Today’s life is very good, we don’t want the treasure, we only have our own life That’s the greatest treasure.”

Lixiu laughed after hearing this: "Listen to me first, the ancestors of the Tong family said well that the greatest wealth is contentment, only contentment can lead to happiness, and wealth must be obtained by one's own hands, or else Keeping the golden mountain, the silver mountain will also sit and eat the mountain."

The whole village was silent collectively. They all knew what Tong Hui said was right. After figuring this out, everyone was relieved. The obsession with the Heavenly Book for so many years is really ridiculous. Three days later, everyone went to Tong's ancestral hall together, and burned this "Book of Heaven" in front of the ancestors of Tong's family, so as to comfort the descendants of Tong's family to remember the teachings of their ancestors.

Seeing such a clansman, Chu Batian nodded and said: "From now on, the Tong clan will be my biggest friend in Chujiabao. If you have anything to do, come to Chujiabao to find me. As long as I can do it, I will definitely give everything to you." help."

As soon as Chu Batian said this, everyone knew that it was because the Chu Family Fort adopted Da Zhuang back then, no matter what the future situation would be, they accepted the love of the Chu Family Fort.

Three days later, at the gate of Tong's ancestral hall, the patriarch and all the clansmen enshrined them as heavenly books, and the "Tong Hui Diary" that almost caused the genocide was burned. With a sigh of relief, everyone let go of the big stone in their hearts, and felt that the dark cloud above their heads disappeared all of a sudden, and everyone smiled happily.

Da Zhuang and Li Xiu also participated in this ancestor worship. Looking at the ashes that had been burned, Li Xiu thought about it in his heart. Sure enough, some things still have to follow the historical track, otherwise they might give themselves Bring disasters, and even bring disasters to descendants.

After the sacrifice, the village fell into a quiet life again. In September of the same year, Tong Xiaobao and Tong Rui set foot on the footsteps of going to Fucheng to enter the official school. They would study there for three years and then take the provincial examination. The road of the imperial examination.

This time it was Chu Er who followed. He is not only Tong Rui's master now, but also guards the two children at all times to protect their safety.This time I went to Fucheng Dazhuang without letting Lixiu follow, because I was afraid that he would be tired. After watching the carriage leave, Lixiu also thought about it. They will all grow up gradually, and he can't watch by his side all the time. He, let them spread their wings and fly high. After thinking about it, he hugged Chu Junyu's little friend and reluctantly entered the yard. He wanted to hand over all the things he knew to Chu Junyu, so that the child's future road It's easier to go, after all, in this era, it is best to have a viable craft, and he will inherit the family's business in the future, and those two children will definitely take the imperial examination to become officials.

. . . . . . . . .

In the 320th year of the Tianyao Dynasty, Lixiu was already 32 years old. Two major events happened in the family this year. The first one was that both Tong Xiaobao and Tong Rui won the election, and Tong Rui, who was only ten years old, won the prize Yuan, and Tong Xiaobao did his part to get the Asian Yuan, which is No.2.

When the two returned to their hometown to worship their ancestors, the old man Yin Bai, who was only 73 years old, passed away with a smile.

Brothers Tong Xiaobao and Tong Rui kept filial piety for him for three years and did not participate in the next year's examination. Three years later, Tong Rui, who was only 13 years old when he took the examination again, won the Huiyuan alone, and Tong Xiaobao, who was used to it, was also admitted to Jinshi.After taking part in the palace examination, the emperor appointed 13-year-old Tong Rui, also known as Chu Junhan, as the champion of the new subject, and Tong Xiaobao as a first-class Jinshi and land.

An interesting incident happened during this period. Tong Rui accidentally lost his phoenix seal when he was parading across the street in the capital. As a meeting gift for future daughter-in-law, when the emperor knew about it, he laughed with the court ministers. Although Tong Rui was admitted to the first prize, he was only 13 years old, a child, and a weak crown.

After Lixiu learned that Tong Xiaobao was admitted to the No. [-] Scholar, he was as happy as anything. Seeing that our son is very good, the No. [-] Scholar, even the son-in-law is a Jinshi and the first.When he was happy, he also missed the child a little. When Da Zhuang saw him like that, he smiled and said, "Why don't we go to the capital to see the child?"

Li Xiu wondered when he was watching TV dramas in modern times, didn't he always say he would go back to his hometown to worship his ancestors?So he asked again: "Brother Zhuang, our child won the first prize, won't he come back to worship his ancestors?"

In the past few years, Da Zhuang's temper has become more and more serious, but his love for Lixiu has not changed. As the younger brother of King Chu, there are many people who want to be his concubines, but he just doesn't allow other brothers to get close , This has been the case for many years, and slowly the news spread that Chu Wuyan has a deep love for Li Xiu, which is unmatched. Everyone is envious of Li Xiu, saying that he has found a good man, but where is he? Knowing that he is so sticky, he can't stand it anymore. Every night, he wants to do it. He wants to die. It's really called crying. But every time I saw Da Zhuang looking at him with affectionate eyes, I couldn't help being discouraged.What else can I do, I can't force people to abstain from sex just because Da Zhuang loves him, but when I think of my old waist, I can't help but sigh, can you repair it for a week?

He and Da Zhuang have built a large open-air market in the current Tianfeng Town. It is a market every day, and the goods in it are from all over the country, and they are transported from here to Beirong.The people in the clan no longer need to organize caravans to run around on their own. The goods from all over the place will be sold to their business firms for help, and the joint-stock management proposed by Li Xiu is adopted. Every year during the Chinese New Year, each family will receive a large amount of dividends. .Tongjia Village is now a well-known wealthy village.

The burden on Da Zhuang's shoulders has been shared by his tribe. He and Li Xiu are very relaxed now. Didn't he just hear that Li Xiu missed his child, so he couldn't help but think of Tong Rui too. In recent years, this child has become He is much calmer, and he is no longer as naughty as he was when he was a child. He has become a lot calmer, but compared to Tong Xiaobao, he is still very lively.So the couple decided to tidy up their family affairs in the next few days, and then go to the capital. After all, there is also a lot of business there. Among other things, Lixiu's jewelry shop has been ruined by him. In the form of chain operation, no one in Tianyao knows the jewelry store of 'Shui Linglong'.

After the couple packed up their things that day, they took Chu Junyu's children's shoes to Fucheng by car, and went to the capital by water. The boat arrived in just over ten days. They were waiting there, and Tong Xiaobao also came early.

After the two brothers saw Li Xiu and his wife, they immediately ran over to greet them, Da Zhuang waved his hands and said, "Excuse me, you don't need to be too polite outside, go back, you are so tired."

As soon as the two children heard this, they immediately asked someone to unload the goods quickly. This time the couple brought a lot of goods, and they had already ordered the people here to wait here to pick up the goods.

Seeing Chu Junyu standing beside Li Xiu, Tong Xiaobao walked over and smiled, "Yu'er, you're here."

Chu Junyu has also grown up in the past two years, and he looks more and more like Li Xiu, so he thinks about it differently from Li Xiu when he was a child, and Li Xiu secretly took a photo of him and put it on his laptop to compare with himself That's right, even Da Zhuang said he looked like him. It's been a long time since I saw Tong Xiaobao. He is not as coy and smeared as the little brothers of this era. Let alone Li Xiu, even Tong Xiaobao I disagree, so I have always been without makeup, and now it is more and more supple.

Every time Tong Xiaobao sees her, she will fall in love with her very much. Although Yu'er is his wife, she is extremely polite. This is what Li Xiu told them. I'm afraid that if the two children have a "pregnant before marriage," that would be terrible. Well, I also told them that when Chu Junyu met them, he would marry them, and Tong Xiaobao only obeyed his grandmother's orders.

Along the way, Lixiu was in a good mood. His family's boat was big, and he arrived in the capital smoothly. When he saw his son, he was so happy, so he went back to his house in the capital with the four of them. The mansions of Tong Xiaobao and Tong Rui have not yet been assigned, and they are still resting at home. Three days later, they will report to the Imperial Academy. After arriving in the capital, you have to study in the Imperial Academy for three years, pass the exam, and then be released or be transferred to the head of various ministries.

Lixiu has nothing to do with these rights. He is afraid that his children will cause trouble for him if he embarks on an official career. Da Zhuang knows his thoughts, so he persuades him again and again. What are you doing, you won't go the wrong way.

After listening to Da Zhuang's words, Li Xiu felt relieved. Children will grow up and walk their own way, and he doesn't want his sons to be mediocre for the rest of their lives. After he figured it out, he was relieved. Happily returned to the house in the capital with the children.
