Rebirth Red Mansion Planting Farms

Ban'er sighed, closed the door and pushed grandma into the yard, and told grandma everything Qiaojie said on the road in the future.After hearing this, grandma also felt very uncomfortable in her heart. She patted the board on the shoulder and said, "It's not my fault that she is uncomfortable. It used to be such a beautiful mansion, but now there is not even a person to sweep it. Anyway, you can go back to the house Rest, wait for your father and your natal family to come, and then come out for dinner."

Ban'er nodded helplessly, washed his hands and went back to his room to sit blankly for a while, the half-open door was facing the wing room where Qing'er and Qiao Jie lived, but seeing the felt curtains falling quietly and the walls were silent, it seemed even more Desolate and lonely.Ban'er had an intuition that his heart was very blocked, and he couldn't tell what was wrong for a while, which was a rare thing in the past.Dazed for a while, Ban'er breathed a sigh of relief, got up and opened the door, went straight to Qiaojie's room, stood outside and called softly: "Qiaoer, Qiaoer, come out."

When Qiaojie heard the call, she hurriedly wiped away her tears, got up from the kang and said, "Is my brother outside?"

Ban'er said: "It's me, you come out, I have something to tell you."

Sister Qiao raised her eyebrows invisibly, not understanding what he had to say, so she lifted the curtain and came out and asked, "What did you say?"

Ban'er winked at her, raised his hand and hissed: "Don't make a fuss, come with me first." Then, without asking Qiaojie what she meant, he pulled her to a secluded place in the yard, and said in a low voice, " Aren't you going to visit the grave? I just thought about it. As the old saying goes, people have seven emotions, six desires and three souls and seven souls, so after death, their souls must be scattered. Sincerely, no matter where the sacrifice is, if your mother and the others have spirits in the sky, the three souls and seven souls will definitely understand my sister's current difficulties. According to my idea, the day after tomorrow will be Qingming, and my sister might as well stand under the peach blossom tree. Set up the incense table, let’s pay homage far away. It’s not too late to go to your mother’s tomb to pay homage to your mother’s tomb after the news of his year has passed.”

Qiao Jie raised her head suddenly, looked straight into Shang Ban'er's apricot eyes, and said half-believingly: "You are serious, will my mother know what I mean?"

Ban'er nodded heavily, Qiao Jie raised her lips faintly, and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm sorry."

Ban'er let out a long breath, as if he had relieved the burden of a thousand pieces of gold, and smiled softly: "As long as my sister is not so sad, this kind of thought is nothing."

Qiaojie covered her mouth and was shy. Qing'er, who was in front of her, had listened to her grandmother's orders and was waiting to come over to see how Qiaojie was doing. When she came out and saw the two of them standing in the yard, she hurried over and said, "Brother and sister Qiaoer said What, let me listen to it too. I was busy at home with my grandma for a day, and my sister and brother went outside again. There was no one talking in front of me. I was really bored, so I told my grandma. Just like you, go out and walk around."

Ban'er and Qiaojie looked at each other and smiled, they both covered what they just said knowingly, pulled Qing'er from one side to the other, walked into the gray shed, smiled and talked about other gossips, and put it in a perfunctory manner.

Before Xu time (from 7:9 p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m., it belongs to Xu time. People have worked hard all day, and the gate is ready to rest. The dog sleeps in front of the door and guards it. Whenever there is any movement, it barks loudly, so it is called "Xu dog"). Collected the hoes and went home to rest. Ever since the two of them learned about the disaster in Jia's mansion, they have paid special attention to the rumors in the city. Today, they heard another piece of news, and the two of them had already discussed it on the way when they came. At this moment at the dinner table, the dog kept looking at Wang Liushi.

Wang Liushi made him look impatient, and embarrassed to open his mouth, but he looked at Qing'er and then at the board, and then looked at Sister Qiao and Grandma Liu left and right, everyone was suspicious of her, and put down their bowls one after another. chopsticks, Grandma Liu said: "Girl, do you have something to say?"

Wang Liushi held the bowl, covered half of his face, and said for a long time: "I really can't hide anything from Mom. I have something to say, but I'm afraid that if I say it, your old man will blame your daughter and your son-in-law for doing things improperly." .”

Grandma Liu saw her faltering, and smiled heartily: "Is there anything appropriate or not? It's not like you and your son-in-law haven't gone through major events, so just say what you have to say."

When Gou'er heard this, he quickly laughed and said: "Grandma is right, but it's not difficult to say, but it needs Miss Qiao's consent to do it. That's why I told my grandma that I'm afraid it's not right to do it."

Grandma Liu was surprised and said, "Why is Miss Qiao involved again?"

Mrs. Wang and Liu said: "I want grandma to know something. When the people in the mansion over there sent the girl over there that day, they gave Qing'er two ingots of silver to keep for the girl's daily expenses. Qing'er didn't dare to accept it. I handed it to my hand and kept it. I thought that since it was clearly stated that it was for the girl, we can’t use it privately. Just today when your son-in-law and I were plowing the field, I heard that it’s not far from our place. In Heishan Village, there are a few acres of good land that need to be sold at a low price, which is equivalent to less than seven taels of silver per mu of land. Your son-in-law and I have calculated that if we really want such convenience, we might as well buy three For the four acres, harvest the whole crops by yourself and plant some crops. If you have more, you can sell them at a price at the rice store, and keep the rest for your own use. It’s better than looking after someone else’s house every day. That's the case. Three or four acres of land cost two or thirty taels of silver. Our family has a total of only ten taels of silver. If we want to buy it, we must touch the girl's 30 taels of silver. That’s our difficulty.”

At this time, Sister Qiao understood what she meant, and smiled quickly: "Don't be too polite, auntie. Right now, I am staying at your house for food and lodging. You deserve the 20 taels of silver. If you want to buy anything, Auntie and Uncle Just make up your mind, don't ask me what I mean. Besides, there is such a good thing, there is really no delay, if someone else buys it, wouldn't we have missed a good opportunity?"

Gou'er and Mrs. Wang Liu thanked her for her mastery, and thanked her with a smile. Grandma Liu pursed her lips, and seemed a little worried: "Have you listened carefully? It's not easy to buy farmland nowadays. It's not easy for us alone. The fertile land costs seven or eight taels of silver per mu, not to mention good land, don’t be deceived by others. And the Heishan Village you mentioned is not far away, after all, there is a river between the two villages. After buying it, it will be troublesome to cultivate in the future, not to mention that the family can’t afford so many people to sow and transplant rice seedlings.”

Ban'er Qing'er thought that what grandma said was reasonable, so Gou'er laughed and said, "Your old man is too worried, don't you and your daughter dare to think carefully before doing such a big matter? I have asked clearly. Well, the few acres of land in Heishan Village were originally put there by the officials in the city and sent a housekeeper who specialized in managing farm houses to take care of them. Later, when the housekeeper got old, the master gave him a few acres of land sympathetically. The son and daughter of the housekeeper felt that Heishan Village was too far away from the capital, so they persuaded the housekeeper to sell the fields here and buy a few more acres near the suburbs of Beijing. Sell ​​it quickly. I have also thought about the lack of manpower that grandma said. Now your daughter and I are still very strong, and Qing'er and Ban'er have grown up. It is feasible to take out some broken silver and hire day laborers to harvest the seeds."

Grandma Liu judged that what he said was also justified, she nodded with a smile and said nothing, Gou'er and Mrs. Wang and Liu agreed, and made an agreement on the matter, agreeing to take the money to buy those several mu of land tomorrow.The whole family sat in a circle, thinking about how to cultivate the fields after buying them.Because Qiaojie didn't understand the affairs of the field, and envied them, young and old, having fun together, her abdominal pain recurred, so she hurriedly took a few mouthfuls of rice from a bowl to cover it up.

On the second day, Gou'er and his wife went as soon as they said they would, and they left the house early with their silver.Grandma and Qing'er also knew that they were busy, so they took over the Qingming festival and prepared paper money for incense sticks.After Ban'er and Qiao Jie made an agreement, they kept it from grandma and Qing'er, and Ban'er secretly took a bowl, cleaned it, put some local soil in it, talked about making an incense burner, and found some from grandma. Paper money comes.On the day of Qingming, the entire Wang family was preparing to go out to visit the grave. Grandma was worried that it would be difficult to explain why sister Qiao went out and attracted the attention of others, so she had to persuade her to rest at home, and said that she would go out to give Sister Feng and the deceased in Jia's house for her. Burn incense paper.Sister Qiao thanked her sadly, and watched their family close the door and go out, and then she hurriedly took out the incense burner stuffed by Baner, took another handful of incense, and carried a bunch of paper money. Worship up.

The first is to pay homage to the ancestors of Jia's mansion, then to pay homage to the late mother Xifeng, and then to Daiyu Qingwen Yuanyang and others who were seen on the day of rebirth.Thinking that Daiyu has become the concubine of Xiaoxiang, and Qingwen has also become the god of hibiscus, I am afraid that my sacrifice is too vulgar. Seeing that the three or two peach branches are blooming, I stepped on my feet and broke a few branches, turned around and scooped one from the jar. The ladle of water, with flowers and branches as incense, and purified water as wine, bowed to the sky three times.He said in his mouth: "That day, I was rescued by Xiangu and allowed me to be reborn as a human being. Qiaoer is very grateful. Qiaoer knows that her mother must be with Xiangu now, and she will offend her in the future. First, forgive me, Qiaoer will be devout in the future, and repay one or two. If everyone in the family suffers, Qiaoer is left under the fence and unable to support, if Xiangu and mother see it, please accept it." After saying that, he went Put the flower branches into the incense burner, sprinkle a bowl of clean water, and cry again, then hurriedly packed up the incense burner paper money, lest grandma and the others would see it when they came back, and it would only cause trouble.

Just about to put away the flower branches, Qiao Jie was stunned for a moment, and saw that there were piles of flower buds on the branches, but they all bloomed at some point, and even pieces of pink petals were dancing in the sky.Qiaojie raised her head unconsciously, but saw that in the emerald green of the tree, dots of red tassels gradually opened up, and when the wind blew, it seemed to cover the sky and cover the earth, all of them fell down, making the sky chaotic.
