A new journey of accumulating wealth
Chapter 178 Qingping Years 3 in 1
He will be back in half an hour, so he has already arrived.Lin Yutong hurriedly sent someone to find fourth master and come back.
Lin Yutong raised the curtain and asked outside, "Who is idle?"
Jin Ba rushed out, "Mom, I'll go! I'll go."
It was quite strange to be called mother by a child she didn't know. She didn't move, but she could tell that the old man was restless, so she laughed: "Then go quickly, and say that the old man will be back soon." , ask him to come back immediately."
Jin Ba responded and rushed out.
Lin Yutong looked at his back and thought, it's not too late for this kid to practice martial arts.
These children don't have any new clothes to change into now, but Lin Yutong asked his own children to tidy up quickly.Let's talk about giving preferential treatment to adopted sons and adopted daughters at home, but outsiders regard this kind of children as half slaves.It's the same reason that at home, you can call yourself and the fourth master mother and father, but you can't call the eldest and third son uncle.
The clothes are just these two bodies, it doesn't matter how you change them.Just tidy up neatly.
After tidying up, Lin Yutong coaxed fourth master's clothes to be changed by the stove, and also told Bai to just go back to the house and wait for brother Kun to change clothes.
Turning his face away, he realized that Sister Lin had gone back sometime, and the eldest girl also had to tidy up before she could come out.
The fourth master came back very quickly. He lifted the curtain and went in and went straight to the bedroom. He only said yes when the children called daddy. Lin Yutong took the clothes and chased him in, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
The fourth master's face was serious, "I walked around the village today, and I avoided us a little. I wanted to buy something, but everyone said that there were not many... I asked Jin Yi to inquire. I don't know where the evil wind came from. , saying that they want to transfer people to guard the border..."
Lin Yutong's expression changed.Guarding the border means going further north. From ancient times to the present, this kind of population migration organized by the imperial court has never stopped.It's like Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, most of the Han people were relocated there, which stabilized the frontier.But now... can we go further north?
She asked, "Someone is stumbling behind..."
It is hard to leave the homeland, and the family finally settled down here, and the property is here.Is it possible to ask people to abandon their homes and businesses now?Not to mention that they are all from the Jin family, even if the brothers are not implicated, they even complained.
"It's no wonder Dafang never said when he'd be back, but now he's here." To the Jin family, this place has a special meaning.Da Fang is unwilling to leave... I am afraid that the future of his family is worrying.
These people don't want to be guarded on the border, so they naturally have to show their horses and horses, for example: keep a distance from their own homes.
The fourth master circled the room: "This retreat and retreat, when will it be the end?" Besides, the old and the young, the weather outside, he can't stand it when he goes out to earn a circle like this.What to do with them?
Lin Yutong frowned, it's not that she can't leave, it's just that in such a day, it can be fatal.
While talking, I changed my clothes first.After changing it, someone called outside, saying that someone had entered the village.
The fourth master said to Tongtong: "It's cold at the door, the female relatives go to the old lady and wait..."
Then fourth master left first with a few sons, probably with Jin Kuang and third master to greet him at the door.Lin Yutong took his son and daughter-in-law, handed over the house to Jin Yi, and then went out.
Jin Yi hesitated to speak, but Lin Yutong didn't bother to say anything, just reassuring him.
Sister Xuan followed behind her mother and said in a low voice: "Is something wrong?" She felt that her parents' expressions were not right.
Lin Yutong shook her head, didn't explain, just told, "You help your sister-in-law."
After going out, Mrs. Sun waited at the door.Her eye circles were still red, and her dark circles were heavy. Obviously, this was because she didn't sleep well.
Walking side by side with Lin Yutong at this moment, he said: "In the past, people from my hometown always came to the door. At that time, we didn't see each other whenever we wanted, and we didn't see each other when we didn't want to. Now, we have to wait and greet."
At that time, can you know what it means to come from your hometown?It was all handled by Jin Kuang himself.Otherwise, why don't you even know about the old grandmother above?See what you want, see what you don't want to see, nonsense!People sincerely did not let you see.
I really don't want to talk to Mrs. Sun, all the negative energy comes out of this person's mouth.I think about the prosperity of the Hou Mansion all day long... But to be honest, you are just a bustling bastard, you will have to go out to live on your own sooner or later.How much can you divide the property?
Because she didn't want to listen to Mrs. Sun's vernacular, she walked a few steps faster, joined the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who came out of the big house, then picked up Mrs. Xu and Aunt Wu, and went to the old lady's yard together.
Mrs. Sun also asked Mrs. Xu: "Brother and Brother Rui have gone too?"
Little Xu nodded, "Uncle, why not go back home?"
After all, Mrs. Sun refused to accept it: "If you are sick, you should be considerate. This is the flesh and blood of the family. Poor Brother Lang is weak, and he was dragged away by his father."
Aunt Wu turned her head and took a stern look at Mrs. Sun. This daughter-in-law was fine in the past, but looking at it now, it is really outrageous.
Mrs. Sun turned her head aside, not looking at Aunt Wu.In the past, I respected it because my parents-in-law were good to this aunt, but now, my aunt is my aunt, and she is a servant.Just like my two aunts, they are not good things.
But he didn't expect to see Jin Boyi and Jin Qirui in the main courtyard, and the old lady explained, "If you are sick, you have to take care of them. Don't treat people like this."
She was the one who invited people back.
After meeting each other, they all returned to their seats and sat down.
After waiting for a cup of tea, there were noisy footsteps outside, and then the curtain was raised, and a man walking like a dragon and a tiger came in. He knelt down in front of the old lady without saying a word, "My son went out, and he hasn't returned until now. Tell my mother to follow suit."
Lin Yutong got up with Da Liu and looked at the people who came in after him.In the crowd, she was relieved to find fourth master, and turned to look at the man kneeling in front of the hall.
This life's... leopard head, ring eyes, thick back, completely different from Jin Kuang.This is Grandpa Jinji.
During this time of scrutiny, the fourth master had already returned to his place and stood beside Lin Yutong, and the children were also standing behind them.
At this time, the old lady was heard shouting: "...I have worked hard on the journey, so I got up to talk, and asked those incompetent people to bring their daughter-in-law in, and asked them to recognize people."
Lin Yutong was looking for the eldest wife, thinking, why didn't the eldest wife come in with the elder.
This kind of thought just flashed past, when I heard a cry from outside: "...I can't live anymore, I can't live anymore...The foundation that I have worked hard for half my life...It's all over..."
Everyone in the room changed color at the same time, who is this talking about.
Jin Kuang and Xu Shi, have they ever received this word?
Elder Master Jin Ji strode out, made two 'pops', which were especially clearly heard inside, and then it stopped outside.
But Lin Yutong and fourth master looked at each other, but if they really wanted to keep the eldest wife from frolicking in front of people, how could people run out.
In the end, he still didn't want his family to live in the mansion, but Jin Ji was smart and didn't want to tear himself apart, which forced his family to leave.
Sure enough, when Jin Ji came in again, he knelt down in front of the old lady: "My son is not good at discipline, so I pleaded guilty to my mother. Mrs. Liao doesn't know the general rules, doesn't respect her elders, doesn't get along with her brothers, doesn't love her nephew... My son will divorce her now!"
Divorce her?
"She is your biological cousin. Her father, your own uncle, saved your life. She knew she couldn't divorce her, so why bother to say such a thing?" Seeing your brother and your nephew can't stay at home."
Lin Yutong couldn't understand the old lady. From her point of view, the old lady was definitely not an idle person, how could she be dominated by her adopted son and daughter-in-law.
Fourth Master held Tongtong down and told her to sit still.
Just then Jin Kuang got up: "Mother, you can't blame brother and sister-in-law for this, we were the ones who got the big house down."
Jin Ji looked ashamed: "Second brother is going to turn evil into a brother..." He shouted out, "You bastards all come in..."
Then seven or eight men came in, all of them were similar to Jin Ji, so mighty.
Jin Ji pulled out the dagger abruptly, and stabbed it in his thigh, blood gushing out, "Whoever wants to leave is afraid of getting hurt... Let me do this for the old man first."
As he spoke, he looked around the main hall.The faces of the sons did not change, which is normal.
Looking at Erfang again, what kind of character Jin Kuang is, he is calm and not surprised.But he saw that Mrs. Xu was like a bodhisattva, with his eyes closed, as if he didn't see it at all.The eldest nephew's family is a pair of immortals, but at this moment, the father and son have lowered their eyes and can't see any emotions.The two female relatives only care about men, so it doesn't matter how much blood you bleed.Sanfang was completely stupefied with fright, his face froze and no one moved, it was a bit of a bluff.The fourth room is the most interesting. The couple are playing with each other's hands, and a few children are standing behind, watching with great interest.The youngest kid was still gesturing with his hands, as if imitating his previous movement of drawing a knife.
He withdrew his gaze, narrowed his eyes, and then pointed in Jin Kuang's direction, "Second brother, don't ask brother to be that unrighteous person."
Jin Kuang used to be the emperor's teacher, and when he saw that the limelight was not right, he immediately withdrew. For such a person, he knew this little trick at home, and quickly answered, "Why do you say that, brother? I came here for the purpose of living here." I will meet you when my brother comes back. There is absolutely no reason to stay. Now that we have met, we will have a reunion dinner in the evening and leave tomorrow morning."
Say, look at the old lady.
The old lady lowered her eyelids, and after a long time, she said two words: "Alright!"
"Mother!" A trace of astonishment flashed across Jin Ji's face, but this trace of astonishment was true.He probably didn't expect this.
So what is the meaning of the previous attitude?
The old lady raised her eyes and looked at Jin Kuang: "When your father became a marquis, he bought my property when he came back... My dowry was lost because of the war. He promised me to buy a copy for me. Later, he made a fortune, but it is still Remember what I said to me. At that time, I didn’t want it, but he had to give it to me... That’s it, I still have some property in my hand..." Then he looked at Jin Ji, "Do you have any objection?"
Jin Ji frowned: "Mother, my son has no intention of driving my brother away."
The old lady waved her hand: "I know what you are thinking. This gesture is just to let me know your embarrassment. Taking them in is to return the Buddha's blessings that the Hou Mansion has treated you all these years. Clear." She chuckled, "If you can repay the kindness of the Hou Mansion, then how can you repay the kindness that my old lady has given you? Let me guess your thoughts... Do you know that the county government At the same time, I was pressured by some people above to move Wending Mountain to the north... The tribe did not agree, and no one was willing. And at home, except for you, no one in the family, old or young, was willing. So what about you? What will you do? You will make a great decision... For the kindness of the day, for me, an old lady, you will try your best to keep people. Therefore, you will keep them, ask them to accept your love, and ask them to obey you. You live your life... so that they don't dare to mention the word "love" in front of you... So, you will suppress your wife and children internally, and suppress your brothers and clansmen externally. Generally live a peaceful life. You are the one who makes the ups and downs... You were raised by me, and I know exactly how many intestines you have!"
After saying that, she got up and called Jin Yiqian, "Pack up your things and leave immediately." Then she scolded Jin Kuang, "If you don't leave, why don't you stay here for dinner?"
what?
There is no time for people to react, so they just leave.
The old lady said: "Take all the things I gave you, I bought them with my own money. And... I went to invite the tablets of the ancestors, let's go together."
Jin Ji knelt down with a 'plop', and kowtowed: "Mother, if the son has such thoughts, let the son be smashed to pieces, and he will not die well, and he will not be reborn after death..."
The fourth master went over and helped Jin Ji up, "Uncle, don't be like this... I planned to use my grandmother's dowry to marry Zhuangzi. I went to see it today. The mountain behind Zhuangzi is the mausoleum of the Jin family." .Anyway, the title of the family is gone. I’m sorry for my grandfather. My father said before that he would stand by his grandfather’s grave for three years to atone for his sins... We children can’t just watch my father live alone. On the mountain... I must follow. I just wait for three years to finish, and then I will come back again. Grandma is just an angry uncle who doesn't care about his body..."
The old lady snorted coldly, "I wasn't the mother who gave birth to him, and I didn't give him the body, hair and skin..."
What did that sentence say?The body, hair and skin are received by the parents, and they dare not damage them. This is the beginning of filial piety.
You stabbed yourself in front of your mother, can you blame the old lady for getting angry?cannot!Because you don't treat the old lady as your own mother.
Jin Ji admitted his mistake again, and Jin Kuang hurriedly asked someone to bandage the wound.
Lin Yutong helped the old lady back to sit down: "... If you want to leave, there is no rush. You can leave tomorrow or later, it is up to you. If you want to go with me, I am afraid that you are also thinking about grandpa... Otherwise, we will leave tomorrow Let's go. It's like what our grandfather said, stay for three years, and then come back."
Even if there is a rift, now is not the time to turn around.
What's more, is there really a need to turn around?
Jin Ji was originally adopted, and he had quite a few brothers in the past, all of whom are still alive now.The following children, nephews and in-laws are all over Banlazi Wending Mountain.This adopted person is not clean with his biological parents, no matter how the old lady feels, she will feel uncomfortable.
I'm afraid that the old lady and Jin Ji are also hiding their minds.
These two people are not like a mother and son who are kind and filial, but rather like a relationship of hugging each other and taking advantage of each other.
The old lady gave an 'hmm' and was supported by Lin Yutong back to the inner room.As soon as she entered the room, there was no trace of anger on the old lady's face. She sat on the chair calmly, "Go, pack up your things, and leave early tomorrow morning."
Lin Yutong didn't ask, and came out after answering.
Fourth master followed Jin Kuang and talked with Jin Ji in the hall. It was not good before, as if it had never happened.Lin Yutong came out and took a look at Fourth Master, then whispered something to Mrs. Xu, and then the ladies went out together.
When they went out, Dafang's sons, who were in a row of wolves and eight tigers, were polite and bowed together to see Mrs. Xu out.
Outside the door, the junior was not seen. I don't know if he didn't come back or didn't come.No one cared, so I went back to my yard first.Mrs. Xu didn't ask her daughter-in-law to follow her back to the main room, she didn't know what to say, she had nothing to say.At this moment, she was still confused, so she only ordered, "Go back and get ready, if you say go, you have to go again."
Having said this, I couldn't help but make people feel a little more sad.
Lin Yutong went back to ponder, while telling Stutter to pack up, and at the same time asking Bai Shi to take Jin Shuang to clean up, but here he called Jin Yi.
Fourth master said that the old lady's dowry was Zhuangzi, so it must be that Zhuangzi was in the village.And Jin Yi was familiar with this place, so he asked Jin Yi to find out.
When Jin Yi heard that he was going to the dowry village of the old lady, his eyes lit up all of a sudden, "It's the most spacious there." He said this first, "Our place is in a valley with a long depth. Only one side is connected to the outside. The dowry of the old lady is in the innermost part. Follow the main road in the village and go inward, and the land of more than 100 acres across the river belongs to the old lady. Several of them pass through the field. Pass through the land along the Nanxi River, and the old lady's Zhuangzi is at the foot of the mountain. Half of the Zhuangzi is built on the mountainside, and it is connected with the family temple built by Jinjialing. If you stand at the gate and look north, you can see the temple on the hill, and that’s it.”
Lin Yutong asked, "Is there anyone here?"
"Yes!" Jin Yi said, "Originally, many hunters from the mountain came down, and more than a dozen households lived near the Zhuangzi. In addition, there are also tenants on the Zhuangzi..." It's in the innermost part of the village, where there are no people .
Hearing what the child said, he felt that Zhuangzi was a safer place than this house.
Then clean it up, it's not your own place anyway, just treat it as staying in an inn for a while.
It's almost night when Fourth Master comes back, "Don't call it a fire, let's have a reunion dinner later."
Seeing that his mouth was dry, Lin Yutong poured him water, "What do you mean?"
The fourth master said in a low voice: "The old lady sincerely doesn't want to go here, I'm afraid there is a suspicion that we don't know about. Let's take one step at a time, just don't fall out with Da Fang for the time being."
It was said that it was a reunion dinner, but the big house, a female family member and a junior were all gone.The men are in the flower hall, and only the female relatives of the second room accompany the old lady.The food is very rich, chicken and fish knuckles are everything, but the atmosphere is strange.
I don't know if it's the old lady who doesn't want to see the female family members of the big house or the female family members of the big house don't take the old lady seriously, anyway, this state is very strange.
The old lady didn't mean to explain, and told everyone to let go of their stomachs and eat.After eating, he said: "Go back and sleep peacefully, we will leave early tomorrow morning."
Confused, she said she had settled down, but she didn't want to, and had to move.
What Lin Yutong was thinking at the moment was that sooner or later he would have a place of his own, and he and Fourth Master hadn't been kicked out like this before.
She comforted the children and said, "Anyway, it can't be worse than the journey back to my hometown, so what's there to be afraid of?"
That is true.
Fourth master lay down at night and said to Lin Yutong: "I looked at Zhuangzi from a distance. Although I can't see clearly, it may not be worse than here."
Lin Yutong doesn't like it very much yet.
Here, what is the difference with the big family?The same circle is inside the inner house, and the gate does not go out of the small gate.
Her requirements are not high, as long as she can survive the winter for the time being.As long as the present is over, as long as spring begins, there will be a solution.Dare next winter, I still can't find a place to spend the winter.
So, before fourth master could say anything, she fell asleep.He hugged Si Ye's head and buried him in the quilt, sleeping very soundly.
At four o'clock in the morning, there was movement outside. Those children got up and cleaned up in the yard.Anyway, take everything you can take away.
Lin Yutong and fourth master also got up, and Jin Jiu came in and packed everything in the house without leaving a single needle.
Sister Xuan hugged her mother's arm and dozed off while hanging it on her body.It was the coldest time outside, but the whole west courtyard was noisy.
In the east courtyard, Jin Ji didn't sleep all night.He leaned back in the chair and sighed heavily. He just didn't want to be controlled by others, and he didn't want to drive Jin Kuang's family away out of heart.
But when the old lady came like this...he really didn't know what to do.
Knowing that the west courtyard was being cleaned up, he got up and went to the main courtyard.
The old lady sat on the kang and had breakfast, a plate of pickles, two rice rolls, and a bowl of porridge.For decades.
"Mother!" Jin Ji sat on the side, "You...where are you going to put your son?"
The old lady stirred the porridge in the bowl, "It's not just for the second child... It's also for you, to let you live a good life... You have lived outside most of the time these years, why?"
"Mother... Liao's niece has indeed passed away..."
The old lady waved her hand: "Okay ... don't say much, your sister is not young now, and we mother and daughter have not seen each other for more than ten years. I want to see my daughter, is it okay?"
Jin Ji knelt down, "It's my son who doesn't manage the family strictly."
The old lady continued to eat, "It's still the same sentence, don't ask Liao to appear in front of me."
This is something that I will never forgive until I die.
Jin Ji stood up staggeringly, as if he had pulled on the wound from yesterday, but the old lady didn't even lift an eyelid.
Lin Yutong didn't know what the mother and son were saying, so she just brought her things to the door.Then there were mule carts waiting at the door.The old lady and Jin Kuang came out after asking for a memorial tablet. People and things got into the mule cart. At dawn, they were already heading deeper into the village.Lin Yutong just looked at the village. Compared with other villages, most of the houses here are made of stone, which look solid and warm.The chimneys of every household are smoking, presumably they are either burning kangs or raising stoves.Along the way, I didn't smell the aroma of porridge and rice... That is to say, my life was far from being so rich.At least during the slack season, they don't eat so much.
The houses are high and low, uneven, and the alleys are always the same, following the terrain.But the road in the middle seems to have cost a lot of money.Wide and flat.Going in is an uphill road all the way, but the slope is not big.
After walking for about two miles, I saw an open place covered with snow.I don't know what it's like under the white snow, I just watch the wind swirl and scatter in the open space with snow foam.
Gradually, you can see clearly the outline of Zhuangzi.This Zhuangzi's house is not like the Jin family's house with black bricks and black tiles, but it is also orderly.Rows of houses are neat and tidy, making people feel spacious.
Jin Yi followed and explained: "The people living outside are all Orion families... Zhuangzi's house is still inside."
Sure enough, if you enter from the road in the middle of these rows, there is an open gate.Get off here and go up the corridor.This Zhuangzi was indeed built from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain.But all the way to the top is this kind of veranda.The veranda is paved with bluestone steps, all the way up.It was another seven or eighty meters before the place seemed to level off.
This is not a house, but a row of houses.It seems to occupy half of the mountain.
The old lady sat on the shoulders and pointed out one by one: "Each family lives its own life. From the outside, it looks like one family, but inside, they are separate. Each house is different, and it was built according to the mountain." She Pointing to the house on the far side, "there are the most yards over there, but they are also close to the house on the outside, and beyond the wall is the mountain forest. The fourth child has a lot of families, and they are all from martial arts background, so let's call to live there." Bar."
Fourth master took a look at Jin Yi, and Jin Yi took a group of them to settle down first.
The old lady nodded and told her to go forward.
Lin Yutong walked forward and saw that the houses were not right next to each other. Between every two houses, according to the mountains, rocks and trees, there was always some space to build a garden, just like the house pointed to by oneself and the next house. In between, there is a Zhailiuzi waterfall, but it is cold today and frozen, it looks like a mirror hanging there.But come to think of it, when the weather gets warmer, the scenery here is not bad at all.
Immediately afterwards, he pointed to Sanfang.The old lady said, "This place is small and unique. There is a deep cliff behind the yard. No one will approach you when you are free, and you are not afraid of thieves. The three-bedroom population is simple, so it is the most suitable place to live."
Sun was overjoyed and thanked repeatedly.He actually felt that this place was no worse than the original other courtyard of the Hou Mansion.
Wen Shi is now in the warm sedan chair. Anyway, he can't see the wind, and no one sees anyone.The old lady didn't point out the place, so it seemed that she still wanted to live with him.
Passed another building that looked like a library, and the yard looked very spacious.Behind this courtyard is the mountain peak, and on the mountain peak is the family temple.The old lady stood here, "Go in!"
This yard is the deepest.
The first time I entered, the old lady looked at Jin Kuang: "This place is for you, you can arrange it. Your wife and I will live in the back." The second one lives in Xu's, the third one lives in Xiao Xu's and Yao's, and the fourth one is the old man's house. Mrs.Going around from the four entrances, there is an empty yard, and then there is a garden, and when you leave the garden, you will find the back door.Once out the back door, Mrs. Sun backed away in fright.This is a mausoleum, the cemetery of the Jin family.
Next to the cemetery is the family temple.The family temple has a neat courtyard, half of which seems to be embedded in the mountain.
Jin Boyi hurriedly said: "Grandson thinks this place is very good. If grandmother allows, grandson and Rui Geer will rest here."
The old lady was taken aback, then nodded slightly: "That's fine, you can live here if you want. Half of the houses here are built in caves, which are warm in winter and cool in summer, which is the most suitable for maintaining your health."
Xiao Xu and Yao were eager to speak, but they didn't dare to speak.Mrs. Xu only said: "The waiter needs the help of the old lady to arrange."
The old lady nodded and led the people to Sanjin where she lived.The inside is warm and harmonious, and it is actually much more lively than the inside of the house.The things inside are also commonly used in semi-old homes. The old lady pointed to the chairs and said, "Sit down." She then explained, "I live in Zhuangzi for eight months all year round. Now, in addition to the [-] acres of sacrifice land, It's just the extra dowry of a hundred acres..."
"Don't dare touch your dowry." Jin Kuang said hastily, "Living at the old lady's place already makes my son ashamed."
The old lady waved her hand: "That's not what you said. This mountain belongs to the Jin family. Your father asked the late emperor to give it to him. Here, the place that no one can take away is your root. I'm not afraid Let me tell you why the fight with Dafang is so far, that is this mountain... I can let go of everything, but this mountain, I can't let go. This is left by your father to future generations. It cannot fall into the hands of outsiders. Originally, I didn’t treat him as an outsider when he was adopted. Dafang’s eldest son, Dalang, has reached the age of marriage. I promised him the eldest daughter of your sister’s family. I originally thought of grandchildren. I'm dead. But I don't want to, my poor granddaughter, married for a year and passed away. The Liao family got her niece to be a child for Da Lang, and she killed my granddaughter. At that time, it happened that your brother-in-law No, your sister picked me up as a companion, and asked me to make up my mind. Your nephews are young, and there are many clansmen over there. When I go, who knows that there will be no care here, and the child will be lost instead. It’s fine if you break it, but you went to report the funeral with great fanfare. Your brother-in-law didn’t get up and went too. Your sister was left struggling with a few underage nephews... But my good son, after all Guessing that Mrs. Liao is his cousin by blood, and regardless of the life and death of your sister and niece, when this happened, he only sent Mrs. Liao to the state capital..."
Lin Yutong thought to himself: No wonder.
In fact, Jin Ji wanted to take the initiative as soon as he came up. From a rational point of view, there was nothing wrong with this.Once your family comes, we have to back down.There are seven or eight sons over there.
But between these two 'sons', the old lady chose the bastard she didn't know very well, and she was unwilling to have this 'son' who had been with her for so many years. It turned out that the old lady was chilling.
The old lady only has one biological daughter, and she would love no one better than her biological daughter.The grandson and granddaughter are even flesh and blood, and it is not enough to feed the whole body of flesh and blood to the children of the first relatives, let alone, there is a life here.
Jin Kuang knew how to say, "Then mother will bring my younger sister. I'm afraid I can't get close these years. Now it's because of my burden, and life may not be easy for my younger sister. It's better to bring my younger sister and nephew. The family Zi Baotuan guarded in one place..."
That's what the old lady planned in her heart. Over the years, her son-in-law is gone, and she is afraid of the Hou's mansion in Beijing, and her daughter can still live her life.But once the news of the conviction came out, the clan was not vegetarian.
If the family property is sold off, it can be done elsewhere, as long as people come here properly.
It's just that if I don't come out by myself, my daughter won't go back to her mother's house.
As long as Jin Ji and the Liao family are in charge, she will not enter the door of the Jin family.
The old lady asked the children and grandchildren below, "Now you know that life is hard, don't you? What I said before, each family takes care of each other, it still counts. But now and then, at the foot of the mountain, living with the big house, outside things There is a big house to take care of everything. Now, only the second house is left, and you have to take care of everything." She looked at the eldest grandson first, "It's great for you to guard the family temple and cultivate yourself. You can raise it this winter. Spring After that, another yard will be opened and a few students will be accepted. The Jin family will have to stand up on their own. Even if they cannot stand in the imperial court, they should still be a wealthy family. You are the eldest grandson, so you have to do these things."
Jin Boyi was a little surprised, but still nodded: "Grandson will follow your old arrangements."
The old lady looked at Xiao Xu again, "Although you are a clan wife, you have your parents-in-law to take care of you, and your husband and son to take care of you, so I'm afraid you don't have time to separate yourself. You don't have to worry about family affairs, how about it?"
Xiao Xu didn't dare to disobey, this is not the place of the Jin family, after all, the dowry is the old lady's private property, no one can say whether it will be given to her family or to that aunt in the end.Why do you do thankless things.She nodded and agreed, "The granddaughter-in-law listens to grandma's arrangement."
Only then did the old lady look at the third master: "You have to worry about the fields and crops at home. When you are free, talk to the manager of the farm, and you will have to be busy in the spring... Whether the family can fill their stomachs, it is all up to you. "
The third master didn't expect him to get such an errand, so he looked at the fourth master anxiously before nodding to the old lady: "Grandson...Grandson, try..."
As soon as Mrs. Sun heard that the third master had got an errand, she immediately sat upright, thinking, it must be her turn to be the housekeeper.
The result was not. The old lady sent everyone, including Jin Kuang and Xu, "The fourth couple stay here, everyone else should go back first. I have something to say to the head of the family alone."
It actually bypassed Jin Kuang and Xu's family directly, and asked the fourth eldest couple to take charge of the family.
Not surprised, Jin Kuang got up first to leave.
Lin Yutong and fourth master kept their expressions on the face, but they frowned in their hearts: this family is not so easy to be.
The old lady waited for everyone to leave before she looked at the two of them: "I have been being watched by people for the past few days... This family is young and old, and you two are pragmatic people. Let me be honest today. In other words, our family has a very rich family background, and the food we store will not be hungry for three to five years. The money we have saved...see the graves in the back? Every time the Jin family goes to one, the floor below the coffin is full of It’s full of gold. I don’t plan to use the money, and I don’t want you to use it. I don’t expect it to be full of gold when I leave now, but I hope that you can make this family feel comfortable. In Beidi , in this place where the emperor is far away from the high mountains, you have to give a thumbs up when you tell people about the Jin family..." She said, looking at Lin Yutong, "The fourth family, you say, to do this, you have to first do what?"
"First..." Lin Yutong glanced at Fourth Master, "I have to find a way to ask the imperial court... to change to a parent officer?"
The corner of the old lady's mouth froze, and she looked at Lin Yutong in a daze.
Lin Yutong looked at her, then at fourth master: "..." Was it wrong?
Lin Yutong raised the curtain and asked outside, "Who is idle?"
Jin Ba rushed out, "Mom, I'll go! I'll go."
It was quite strange to be called mother by a child she didn't know. She didn't move, but she could tell that the old man was restless, so she laughed: "Then go quickly, and say that the old man will be back soon." , ask him to come back immediately."
Jin Ba responded and rushed out.
Lin Yutong looked at his back and thought, it's not too late for this kid to practice martial arts.
These children don't have any new clothes to change into now, but Lin Yutong asked his own children to tidy up quickly.Let's talk about giving preferential treatment to adopted sons and adopted daughters at home, but outsiders regard this kind of children as half slaves.It's the same reason that at home, you can call yourself and the fourth master mother and father, but you can't call the eldest and third son uncle.
The clothes are just these two bodies, it doesn't matter how you change them.Just tidy up neatly.
After tidying up, Lin Yutong coaxed fourth master's clothes to be changed by the stove, and also told Bai to just go back to the house and wait for brother Kun to change clothes.
Turning his face away, he realized that Sister Lin had gone back sometime, and the eldest girl also had to tidy up before she could come out.
The fourth master came back very quickly. He lifted the curtain and went in and went straight to the bedroom. He only said yes when the children called daddy. Lin Yutong took the clothes and chased him in, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
The fourth master's face was serious, "I walked around the village today, and I avoided us a little. I wanted to buy something, but everyone said that there were not many... I asked Jin Yi to inquire. I don't know where the evil wind came from. , saying that they want to transfer people to guard the border..."
Lin Yutong's expression changed.Guarding the border means going further north. From ancient times to the present, this kind of population migration organized by the imperial court has never stopped.It's like Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, most of the Han people were relocated there, which stabilized the frontier.But now... can we go further north?
She asked, "Someone is stumbling behind..."
It is hard to leave the homeland, and the family finally settled down here, and the property is here.Is it possible to ask people to abandon their homes and businesses now?Not to mention that they are all from the Jin family, even if the brothers are not implicated, they even complained.
"It's no wonder Dafang never said when he'd be back, but now he's here." To the Jin family, this place has a special meaning.Da Fang is unwilling to leave... I am afraid that the future of his family is worrying.
These people don't want to be guarded on the border, so they naturally have to show their horses and horses, for example: keep a distance from their own homes.
The fourth master circled the room: "This retreat and retreat, when will it be the end?" Besides, the old and the young, the weather outside, he can't stand it when he goes out to earn a circle like this.What to do with them?
Lin Yutong frowned, it's not that she can't leave, it's just that in such a day, it can be fatal.
While talking, I changed my clothes first.After changing it, someone called outside, saying that someone had entered the village.
The fourth master said to Tongtong: "It's cold at the door, the female relatives go to the old lady and wait..."
Then fourth master left first with a few sons, probably with Jin Kuang and third master to greet him at the door.Lin Yutong took his son and daughter-in-law, handed over the house to Jin Yi, and then went out.
Jin Yi hesitated to speak, but Lin Yutong didn't bother to say anything, just reassuring him.
Sister Xuan followed behind her mother and said in a low voice: "Is something wrong?" She felt that her parents' expressions were not right.
Lin Yutong shook her head, didn't explain, just told, "You help your sister-in-law."
After going out, Mrs. Sun waited at the door.Her eye circles were still red, and her dark circles were heavy. Obviously, this was because she didn't sleep well.
Walking side by side with Lin Yutong at this moment, he said: "In the past, people from my hometown always came to the door. At that time, we didn't see each other whenever we wanted, and we didn't see each other when we didn't want to. Now, we have to wait and greet."
At that time, can you know what it means to come from your hometown?It was all handled by Jin Kuang himself.Otherwise, why don't you even know about the old grandmother above?See what you want, see what you don't want to see, nonsense!People sincerely did not let you see.
I really don't want to talk to Mrs. Sun, all the negative energy comes out of this person's mouth.I think about the prosperity of the Hou Mansion all day long... But to be honest, you are just a bustling bastard, you will have to go out to live on your own sooner or later.How much can you divide the property?
Because she didn't want to listen to Mrs. Sun's vernacular, she walked a few steps faster, joined the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who came out of the big house, then picked up Mrs. Xu and Aunt Wu, and went to the old lady's yard together.
Mrs. Sun also asked Mrs. Xu: "Brother and Brother Rui have gone too?"
Little Xu nodded, "Uncle, why not go back home?"
After all, Mrs. Sun refused to accept it: "If you are sick, you should be considerate. This is the flesh and blood of the family. Poor Brother Lang is weak, and he was dragged away by his father."
Aunt Wu turned her head and took a stern look at Mrs. Sun. This daughter-in-law was fine in the past, but looking at it now, it is really outrageous.
Mrs. Sun turned her head aside, not looking at Aunt Wu.In the past, I respected it because my parents-in-law were good to this aunt, but now, my aunt is my aunt, and she is a servant.Just like my two aunts, they are not good things.
But he didn't expect to see Jin Boyi and Jin Qirui in the main courtyard, and the old lady explained, "If you are sick, you have to take care of them. Don't treat people like this."
She was the one who invited people back.
After meeting each other, they all returned to their seats and sat down.
After waiting for a cup of tea, there were noisy footsteps outside, and then the curtain was raised, and a man walking like a dragon and a tiger came in. He knelt down in front of the old lady without saying a word, "My son went out, and he hasn't returned until now. Tell my mother to follow suit."
Lin Yutong got up with Da Liu and looked at the people who came in after him.In the crowd, she was relieved to find fourth master, and turned to look at the man kneeling in front of the hall.
This life's... leopard head, ring eyes, thick back, completely different from Jin Kuang.This is Grandpa Jinji.
During this time of scrutiny, the fourth master had already returned to his place and stood beside Lin Yutong, and the children were also standing behind them.
At this time, the old lady was heard shouting: "...I have worked hard on the journey, so I got up to talk, and asked those incompetent people to bring their daughter-in-law in, and asked them to recognize people."
Lin Yutong was looking for the eldest wife, thinking, why didn't the eldest wife come in with the elder.
This kind of thought just flashed past, when I heard a cry from outside: "...I can't live anymore, I can't live anymore...The foundation that I have worked hard for half my life...It's all over..."
Everyone in the room changed color at the same time, who is this talking about.
Jin Kuang and Xu Shi, have they ever received this word?
Elder Master Jin Ji strode out, made two 'pops', which were especially clearly heard inside, and then it stopped outside.
But Lin Yutong and fourth master looked at each other, but if they really wanted to keep the eldest wife from frolicking in front of people, how could people run out.
In the end, he still didn't want his family to live in the mansion, but Jin Ji was smart and didn't want to tear himself apart, which forced his family to leave.
Sure enough, when Jin Ji came in again, he knelt down in front of the old lady: "My son is not good at discipline, so I pleaded guilty to my mother. Mrs. Liao doesn't know the general rules, doesn't respect her elders, doesn't get along with her brothers, doesn't love her nephew... My son will divorce her now!"
Divorce her?
"She is your biological cousin. Her father, your own uncle, saved your life. She knew she couldn't divorce her, so why bother to say such a thing?" Seeing your brother and your nephew can't stay at home."
Lin Yutong couldn't understand the old lady. From her point of view, the old lady was definitely not an idle person, how could she be dominated by her adopted son and daughter-in-law.
Fourth Master held Tongtong down and told her to sit still.
Just then Jin Kuang got up: "Mother, you can't blame brother and sister-in-law for this, we were the ones who got the big house down."
Jin Ji looked ashamed: "Second brother is going to turn evil into a brother..." He shouted out, "You bastards all come in..."
Then seven or eight men came in, all of them were similar to Jin Ji, so mighty.
Jin Ji pulled out the dagger abruptly, and stabbed it in his thigh, blood gushing out, "Whoever wants to leave is afraid of getting hurt... Let me do this for the old man first."
As he spoke, he looked around the main hall.The faces of the sons did not change, which is normal.
Looking at Erfang again, what kind of character Jin Kuang is, he is calm and not surprised.But he saw that Mrs. Xu was like a bodhisattva, with his eyes closed, as if he didn't see it at all.The eldest nephew's family is a pair of immortals, but at this moment, the father and son have lowered their eyes and can't see any emotions.The two female relatives only care about men, so it doesn't matter how much blood you bleed.Sanfang was completely stupefied with fright, his face froze and no one moved, it was a bit of a bluff.The fourth room is the most interesting. The couple are playing with each other's hands, and a few children are standing behind, watching with great interest.The youngest kid was still gesturing with his hands, as if imitating his previous movement of drawing a knife.
He withdrew his gaze, narrowed his eyes, and then pointed in Jin Kuang's direction, "Second brother, don't ask brother to be that unrighteous person."
Jin Kuang used to be the emperor's teacher, and when he saw that the limelight was not right, he immediately withdrew. For such a person, he knew this little trick at home, and quickly answered, "Why do you say that, brother? I came here for the purpose of living here." I will meet you when my brother comes back. There is absolutely no reason to stay. Now that we have met, we will have a reunion dinner in the evening and leave tomorrow morning."
Say, look at the old lady.
The old lady lowered her eyelids, and after a long time, she said two words: "Alright!"
"Mother!" A trace of astonishment flashed across Jin Ji's face, but this trace of astonishment was true.He probably didn't expect this.
So what is the meaning of the previous attitude?
The old lady raised her eyes and looked at Jin Kuang: "When your father became a marquis, he bought my property when he came back... My dowry was lost because of the war. He promised me to buy a copy for me. Later, he made a fortune, but it is still Remember what I said to me. At that time, I didn’t want it, but he had to give it to me... That’s it, I still have some property in my hand..." Then he looked at Jin Ji, "Do you have any objection?"
Jin Ji frowned: "Mother, my son has no intention of driving my brother away."
The old lady waved her hand: "I know what you are thinking. This gesture is just to let me know your embarrassment. Taking them in is to return the Buddha's blessings that the Hou Mansion has treated you all these years. Clear." She chuckled, "If you can repay the kindness of the Hou Mansion, then how can you repay the kindness that my old lady has given you? Let me guess your thoughts... Do you know that the county government At the same time, I was pressured by some people above to move Wending Mountain to the north... The tribe did not agree, and no one was willing. And at home, except for you, no one in the family, old or young, was willing. So what about you? What will you do? You will make a great decision... For the kindness of the day, for me, an old lady, you will try your best to keep people. Therefore, you will keep them, ask them to accept your love, and ask them to obey you. You live your life... so that they don't dare to mention the word "love" in front of you... So, you will suppress your wife and children internally, and suppress your brothers and clansmen externally. Generally live a peaceful life. You are the one who makes the ups and downs... You were raised by me, and I know exactly how many intestines you have!"
After saying that, she got up and called Jin Yiqian, "Pack up your things and leave immediately." Then she scolded Jin Kuang, "If you don't leave, why don't you stay here for dinner?"
what?
There is no time for people to react, so they just leave.
The old lady said: "Take all the things I gave you, I bought them with my own money. And... I went to invite the tablets of the ancestors, let's go together."
Jin Ji knelt down with a 'plop', and kowtowed: "Mother, if the son has such thoughts, let the son be smashed to pieces, and he will not die well, and he will not be reborn after death..."
The fourth master went over and helped Jin Ji up, "Uncle, don't be like this... I planned to use my grandmother's dowry to marry Zhuangzi. I went to see it today. The mountain behind Zhuangzi is the mausoleum of the Jin family." .Anyway, the title of the family is gone. I’m sorry for my grandfather. My father said before that he would stand by his grandfather’s grave for three years to atone for his sins... We children can’t just watch my father live alone. On the mountain... I must follow. I just wait for three years to finish, and then I will come back again. Grandma is just an angry uncle who doesn't care about his body..."
The old lady snorted coldly, "I wasn't the mother who gave birth to him, and I didn't give him the body, hair and skin..."
What did that sentence say?The body, hair and skin are received by the parents, and they dare not damage them. This is the beginning of filial piety.
You stabbed yourself in front of your mother, can you blame the old lady for getting angry?cannot!Because you don't treat the old lady as your own mother.
Jin Ji admitted his mistake again, and Jin Kuang hurriedly asked someone to bandage the wound.
Lin Yutong helped the old lady back to sit down: "... If you want to leave, there is no rush. You can leave tomorrow or later, it is up to you. If you want to go with me, I am afraid that you are also thinking about grandpa... Otherwise, we will leave tomorrow Let's go. It's like what our grandfather said, stay for three years, and then come back."
Even if there is a rift, now is not the time to turn around.
What's more, is there really a need to turn around?
Jin Ji was originally adopted, and he had quite a few brothers in the past, all of whom are still alive now.The following children, nephews and in-laws are all over Banlazi Wending Mountain.This adopted person is not clean with his biological parents, no matter how the old lady feels, she will feel uncomfortable.
I'm afraid that the old lady and Jin Ji are also hiding their minds.
These two people are not like a mother and son who are kind and filial, but rather like a relationship of hugging each other and taking advantage of each other.
The old lady gave an 'hmm' and was supported by Lin Yutong back to the inner room.As soon as she entered the room, there was no trace of anger on the old lady's face. She sat on the chair calmly, "Go, pack up your things, and leave early tomorrow morning."
Lin Yutong didn't ask, and came out after answering.
Fourth master followed Jin Kuang and talked with Jin Ji in the hall. It was not good before, as if it had never happened.Lin Yutong came out and took a look at Fourth Master, then whispered something to Mrs. Xu, and then the ladies went out together.
When they went out, Dafang's sons, who were in a row of wolves and eight tigers, were polite and bowed together to see Mrs. Xu out.
Outside the door, the junior was not seen. I don't know if he didn't come back or didn't come.No one cared, so I went back to my yard first.Mrs. Xu didn't ask her daughter-in-law to follow her back to the main room, she didn't know what to say, she had nothing to say.At this moment, she was still confused, so she only ordered, "Go back and get ready, if you say go, you have to go again."
Having said this, I couldn't help but make people feel a little more sad.
Lin Yutong went back to ponder, while telling Stutter to pack up, and at the same time asking Bai Shi to take Jin Shuang to clean up, but here he called Jin Yi.
Fourth master said that the old lady's dowry was Zhuangzi, so it must be that Zhuangzi was in the village.And Jin Yi was familiar with this place, so he asked Jin Yi to find out.
When Jin Yi heard that he was going to the dowry village of the old lady, his eyes lit up all of a sudden, "It's the most spacious there." He said this first, "Our place is in a valley with a long depth. Only one side is connected to the outside. The dowry of the old lady is in the innermost part. Follow the main road in the village and go inward, and the land of more than 100 acres across the river belongs to the old lady. Several of them pass through the field. Pass through the land along the Nanxi River, and the old lady's Zhuangzi is at the foot of the mountain. Half of the Zhuangzi is built on the mountainside, and it is connected with the family temple built by Jinjialing. If you stand at the gate and look north, you can see the temple on the hill, and that’s it.”
Lin Yutong asked, "Is there anyone here?"
"Yes!" Jin Yi said, "Originally, many hunters from the mountain came down, and more than a dozen households lived near the Zhuangzi. In addition, there are also tenants on the Zhuangzi..." It's in the innermost part of the village, where there are no people .
Hearing what the child said, he felt that Zhuangzi was a safer place than this house.
Then clean it up, it's not your own place anyway, just treat it as staying in an inn for a while.
It's almost night when Fourth Master comes back, "Don't call it a fire, let's have a reunion dinner later."
Seeing that his mouth was dry, Lin Yutong poured him water, "What do you mean?"
The fourth master said in a low voice: "The old lady sincerely doesn't want to go here, I'm afraid there is a suspicion that we don't know about. Let's take one step at a time, just don't fall out with Da Fang for the time being."
It was said that it was a reunion dinner, but the big house, a female family member and a junior were all gone.The men are in the flower hall, and only the female relatives of the second room accompany the old lady.The food is very rich, chicken and fish knuckles are everything, but the atmosphere is strange.
I don't know if it's the old lady who doesn't want to see the female family members of the big house or the female family members of the big house don't take the old lady seriously, anyway, this state is very strange.
The old lady didn't mean to explain, and told everyone to let go of their stomachs and eat.After eating, he said: "Go back and sleep peacefully, we will leave early tomorrow morning."
Confused, she said she had settled down, but she didn't want to, and had to move.
What Lin Yutong was thinking at the moment was that sooner or later he would have a place of his own, and he and Fourth Master hadn't been kicked out like this before.
She comforted the children and said, "Anyway, it can't be worse than the journey back to my hometown, so what's there to be afraid of?"
That is true.
Fourth master lay down at night and said to Lin Yutong: "I looked at Zhuangzi from a distance. Although I can't see clearly, it may not be worse than here."
Lin Yutong doesn't like it very much yet.
Here, what is the difference with the big family?The same circle is inside the inner house, and the gate does not go out of the small gate.
Her requirements are not high, as long as she can survive the winter for the time being.As long as the present is over, as long as spring begins, there will be a solution.Dare next winter, I still can't find a place to spend the winter.
So, before fourth master could say anything, she fell asleep.He hugged Si Ye's head and buried him in the quilt, sleeping very soundly.
At four o'clock in the morning, there was movement outside. Those children got up and cleaned up in the yard.Anyway, take everything you can take away.
Lin Yutong and fourth master also got up, and Jin Jiu came in and packed everything in the house without leaving a single needle.
Sister Xuan hugged her mother's arm and dozed off while hanging it on her body.It was the coldest time outside, but the whole west courtyard was noisy.
In the east courtyard, Jin Ji didn't sleep all night.He leaned back in the chair and sighed heavily. He just didn't want to be controlled by others, and he didn't want to drive Jin Kuang's family away out of heart.
But when the old lady came like this...he really didn't know what to do.
Knowing that the west courtyard was being cleaned up, he got up and went to the main courtyard.
The old lady sat on the kang and had breakfast, a plate of pickles, two rice rolls, and a bowl of porridge.For decades.
"Mother!" Jin Ji sat on the side, "You...where are you going to put your son?"
The old lady stirred the porridge in the bowl, "It's not just for the second child... It's also for you, to let you live a good life... You have lived outside most of the time these years, why?"
"Mother... Liao's niece has indeed passed away..."
The old lady waved her hand: "Okay ... don't say much, your sister is not young now, and we mother and daughter have not seen each other for more than ten years. I want to see my daughter, is it okay?"
Jin Ji knelt down, "It's my son who doesn't manage the family strictly."
The old lady continued to eat, "It's still the same sentence, don't ask Liao to appear in front of me."
This is something that I will never forgive until I die.
Jin Ji stood up staggeringly, as if he had pulled on the wound from yesterday, but the old lady didn't even lift an eyelid.
Lin Yutong didn't know what the mother and son were saying, so she just brought her things to the door.Then there were mule carts waiting at the door.The old lady and Jin Kuang came out after asking for a memorial tablet. People and things got into the mule cart. At dawn, they were already heading deeper into the village.Lin Yutong just looked at the village. Compared with other villages, most of the houses here are made of stone, which look solid and warm.The chimneys of every household are smoking, presumably they are either burning kangs or raising stoves.Along the way, I didn't smell the aroma of porridge and rice... That is to say, my life was far from being so rich.At least during the slack season, they don't eat so much.
The houses are high and low, uneven, and the alleys are always the same, following the terrain.But the road in the middle seems to have cost a lot of money.Wide and flat.Going in is an uphill road all the way, but the slope is not big.
After walking for about two miles, I saw an open place covered with snow.I don't know what it's like under the white snow, I just watch the wind swirl and scatter in the open space with snow foam.
Gradually, you can see clearly the outline of Zhuangzi.This Zhuangzi's house is not like the Jin family's house with black bricks and black tiles, but it is also orderly.Rows of houses are neat and tidy, making people feel spacious.
Jin Yi followed and explained: "The people living outside are all Orion families... Zhuangzi's house is still inside."
Sure enough, if you enter from the road in the middle of these rows, there is an open gate.Get off here and go up the corridor.This Zhuangzi was indeed built from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain.But all the way to the top is this kind of veranda.The veranda is paved with bluestone steps, all the way up.It was another seven or eighty meters before the place seemed to level off.
This is not a house, but a row of houses.It seems to occupy half of the mountain.
The old lady sat on the shoulders and pointed out one by one: "Each family lives its own life. From the outside, it looks like one family, but inside, they are separate. Each house is different, and it was built according to the mountain." She Pointing to the house on the far side, "there are the most yards over there, but they are also close to the house on the outside, and beyond the wall is the mountain forest. The fourth child has a lot of families, and they are all from martial arts background, so let's call to live there." Bar."
Fourth master took a look at Jin Yi, and Jin Yi took a group of them to settle down first.
The old lady nodded and told her to go forward.
Lin Yutong walked forward and saw that the houses were not right next to each other. Between every two houses, according to the mountains, rocks and trees, there was always some space to build a garden, just like the house pointed to by oneself and the next house. In between, there is a Zhailiuzi waterfall, but it is cold today and frozen, it looks like a mirror hanging there.But come to think of it, when the weather gets warmer, the scenery here is not bad at all.
Immediately afterwards, he pointed to Sanfang.The old lady said, "This place is small and unique. There is a deep cliff behind the yard. No one will approach you when you are free, and you are not afraid of thieves. The three-bedroom population is simple, so it is the most suitable place to live."
Sun was overjoyed and thanked repeatedly.He actually felt that this place was no worse than the original other courtyard of the Hou Mansion.
Wen Shi is now in the warm sedan chair. Anyway, he can't see the wind, and no one sees anyone.The old lady didn't point out the place, so it seemed that she still wanted to live with him.
Passed another building that looked like a library, and the yard looked very spacious.Behind this courtyard is the mountain peak, and on the mountain peak is the family temple.The old lady stood here, "Go in!"
This yard is the deepest.
The first time I entered, the old lady looked at Jin Kuang: "This place is for you, you can arrange it. Your wife and I will live in the back." The second one lives in Xu's, the third one lives in Xiao Xu's and Yao's, and the fourth one is the old man's house. Mrs.Going around from the four entrances, there is an empty yard, and then there is a garden, and when you leave the garden, you will find the back door.Once out the back door, Mrs. Sun backed away in fright.This is a mausoleum, the cemetery of the Jin family.
Next to the cemetery is the family temple.The family temple has a neat courtyard, half of which seems to be embedded in the mountain.
Jin Boyi hurriedly said: "Grandson thinks this place is very good. If grandmother allows, grandson and Rui Geer will rest here."
The old lady was taken aback, then nodded slightly: "That's fine, you can live here if you want. Half of the houses here are built in caves, which are warm in winter and cool in summer, which is the most suitable for maintaining your health."
Xiao Xu and Yao were eager to speak, but they didn't dare to speak.Mrs. Xu only said: "The waiter needs the help of the old lady to arrange."
The old lady nodded and led the people to Sanjin where she lived.The inside is warm and harmonious, and it is actually much more lively than the inside of the house.The things inside are also commonly used in semi-old homes. The old lady pointed to the chairs and said, "Sit down." She then explained, "I live in Zhuangzi for eight months all year round. Now, in addition to the [-] acres of sacrifice land, It's just the extra dowry of a hundred acres..."
"Don't dare touch your dowry." Jin Kuang said hastily, "Living at the old lady's place already makes my son ashamed."
The old lady waved her hand: "That's not what you said. This mountain belongs to the Jin family. Your father asked the late emperor to give it to him. Here, the place that no one can take away is your root. I'm not afraid Let me tell you why the fight with Dafang is so far, that is this mountain... I can let go of everything, but this mountain, I can't let go. This is left by your father to future generations. It cannot fall into the hands of outsiders. Originally, I didn’t treat him as an outsider when he was adopted. Dafang’s eldest son, Dalang, has reached the age of marriage. I promised him the eldest daughter of your sister’s family. I originally thought of grandchildren. I'm dead. But I don't want to, my poor granddaughter, married for a year and passed away. The Liao family got her niece to be a child for Da Lang, and she killed my granddaughter. At that time, it happened that your brother-in-law No, your sister picked me up as a companion, and asked me to make up my mind. Your nephews are young, and there are many clansmen over there. When I go, who knows that there will be no care here, and the child will be lost instead. It’s fine if you break it, but you went to report the funeral with great fanfare. Your brother-in-law didn’t get up and went too. Your sister was left struggling with a few underage nephews... But my good son, after all Guessing that Mrs. Liao is his cousin by blood, and regardless of the life and death of your sister and niece, when this happened, he only sent Mrs. Liao to the state capital..."
Lin Yutong thought to himself: No wonder.
In fact, Jin Ji wanted to take the initiative as soon as he came up. From a rational point of view, there was nothing wrong with this.Once your family comes, we have to back down.There are seven or eight sons over there.
But between these two 'sons', the old lady chose the bastard she didn't know very well, and she was unwilling to have this 'son' who had been with her for so many years. It turned out that the old lady was chilling.
The old lady only has one biological daughter, and she would love no one better than her biological daughter.The grandson and granddaughter are even flesh and blood, and it is not enough to feed the whole body of flesh and blood to the children of the first relatives, let alone, there is a life here.
Jin Kuang knew how to say, "Then mother will bring my younger sister. I'm afraid I can't get close these years. Now it's because of my burden, and life may not be easy for my younger sister. It's better to bring my younger sister and nephew. The family Zi Baotuan guarded in one place..."
That's what the old lady planned in her heart. Over the years, her son-in-law is gone, and she is afraid of the Hou's mansion in Beijing, and her daughter can still live her life.But once the news of the conviction came out, the clan was not vegetarian.
If the family property is sold off, it can be done elsewhere, as long as people come here properly.
It's just that if I don't come out by myself, my daughter won't go back to her mother's house.
As long as Jin Ji and the Liao family are in charge, she will not enter the door of the Jin family.
The old lady asked the children and grandchildren below, "Now you know that life is hard, don't you? What I said before, each family takes care of each other, it still counts. But now and then, at the foot of the mountain, living with the big house, outside things There is a big house to take care of everything. Now, only the second house is left, and you have to take care of everything." She looked at the eldest grandson first, "It's great for you to guard the family temple and cultivate yourself. You can raise it this winter. Spring After that, another yard will be opened and a few students will be accepted. The Jin family will have to stand up on their own. Even if they cannot stand in the imperial court, they should still be a wealthy family. You are the eldest grandson, so you have to do these things."
Jin Boyi was a little surprised, but still nodded: "Grandson will follow your old arrangements."
The old lady looked at Xiao Xu again, "Although you are a clan wife, you have your parents-in-law to take care of you, and your husband and son to take care of you, so I'm afraid you don't have time to separate yourself. You don't have to worry about family affairs, how about it?"
Xiao Xu didn't dare to disobey, this is not the place of the Jin family, after all, the dowry is the old lady's private property, no one can say whether it will be given to her family or to that aunt in the end.Why do you do thankless things.She nodded and agreed, "The granddaughter-in-law listens to grandma's arrangement."
Only then did the old lady look at the third master: "You have to worry about the fields and crops at home. When you are free, talk to the manager of the farm, and you will have to be busy in the spring... Whether the family can fill their stomachs, it is all up to you. "
The third master didn't expect him to get such an errand, so he looked at the fourth master anxiously before nodding to the old lady: "Grandson...Grandson, try..."
As soon as Mrs. Sun heard that the third master had got an errand, she immediately sat upright, thinking, it must be her turn to be the housekeeper.
The result was not. The old lady sent everyone, including Jin Kuang and Xu, "The fourth couple stay here, everyone else should go back first. I have something to say to the head of the family alone."
It actually bypassed Jin Kuang and Xu's family directly, and asked the fourth eldest couple to take charge of the family.
Not surprised, Jin Kuang got up first to leave.
Lin Yutong and fourth master kept their expressions on the face, but they frowned in their hearts: this family is not so easy to be.
The old lady waited for everyone to leave before she looked at the two of them: "I have been being watched by people for the past few days... This family is young and old, and you two are pragmatic people. Let me be honest today. In other words, our family has a very rich family background, and the food we store will not be hungry for three to five years. The money we have saved...see the graves in the back? Every time the Jin family goes to one, the floor below the coffin is full of It’s full of gold. I don’t plan to use the money, and I don’t want you to use it. I don’t expect it to be full of gold when I leave now, but I hope that you can make this family feel comfortable. In Beidi , in this place where the emperor is far away from the high mountains, you have to give a thumbs up when you tell people about the Jin family..." She said, looking at Lin Yutong, "The fourth family, you say, to do this, you have to first do what?"
"First..." Lin Yutong glanced at Fourth Master, "I have to find a way to ask the imperial court... to change to a parent officer?"
The corner of the old lady's mouth froze, and she looked at Lin Yutong in a daze.
Lin Yutong looked at her, then at fourth master: "..." Was it wrong?
