Rebirth of Jiuyouyan

Luo Yue has the custom that the new house cannot be vacant for one month. If the new husband's home is far away, he must stay outside. In order to avoid emptying the new house, as time goes by, he will return home after the full moon of marriage.

This morning, Xia Yue and Shi Yan had breakfast in their room, and after greeting their father, they went out and got into the carriage.There was another one behind the carriage, and there were piles of return gifts on it, which were carefully selected and prepared by Xia Yue and Daddy Yun.

Shiyan still felt a little uneasy in the car, Xia Yue didn't show him the list of door gifts, and he didn't know how many things were piled up in the car behind him, and what they were.He himself is trying to get used to the Yun family's spending level, but his father and dad are not used to it.Shiyan was afraid of frightening her parents.

"Sir," Shi Yan asked while grabbing Xia Yue's sleeve, "isn't it too expensive?"

Xia Yue hugged him with a smile, and kissed his forehead: "Don't worry, your husband doesn't pick those fancy things that are not useful, and you choose everything that can be used. Father-in-law and father-in-law will like it."

Xia Yue is a practical school, he has seen some of the situation of the Bai family in Yun Xiayue's memory, it is a very simple family.In the Bai family, there is only Shiyan, a young lady, and the next five are all Langguans. They have a lot of children. Fortunately, they can't afford to support them, but they are relatively cautious.After all, he signed a contract with the Yun family to grow wine and rice for the Yun family's wine storage. The Yun family is generous in the first place, and the Bai family's wine and rice are of excellent quality, worthy of a good price.

For the simple Bai family, Xia Yue does not advocate making a flashy gift list.After discussing with Daddy Yun, the two of them made a lot of changes to the traditional return gift list.

In terms of clothing, they might be reluctant to make clothes with silk and satin, but they can't have them completely, otherwise it will appear that the Yun family is stingy and doesn't value them.Xia Yue picked two bolts of satin, which can be used to make clothes for formal occasions or festivals, and the rest are made of high-quality and strong cotton, which is convenient for making some ordinary clothes for home and work on weekdays.I also made a few ready-made clothes, fearing that they might not fit well, so I only made two cotton-padded jackets for my father-in-law and two pairs of suede boots.When the brothers-in-law were all growing up, Shiyan might not be able to remember the size accurately, so he had to ask the Bai family to find a tailor to do it again.

In terms of food, Xia Yue asked Shi Yan after visiting the market, and he also knew that the Bai family seldom ate outside food.This time he chose more than a dozen kinds of delicate dim sum, especially the ones that are easy to preserve and can be stored for a long time.By the way, I also brought along the golden glutinous rice cakes that Shiyan ate that day, and some exotic fruits.Needless to say, wine from the Yun family is indispensable.

For other utensils, Xia Yue removed a lot of things for pure enjoyment, such as incense burner and so on are completely unnecessary.On the gift list, there are washing and grooming utensils, bedding pillows, candle lamps, kitchen pots and pans, three or two sets of porcelain tableware, more than a dozen stone basins of different sizes, and twenty catties of ink charcoal.I picked a few hairpins for my father-in-law and father-in-law, and bought a pair of bracelets for my father-in-law. I also prepared more than a dozen books and some novelty toys for my brothers-in-law.

Adding up these items, the largest carriage of the Yun family was used. The servants carefully piled up a carriage full of them. Two servants squeezed into the carriage to protect them. The two servants sat on the shafts and drove behind Xia Yue and the others. .

Hearing what Xia Yue said, Shi Yan also knew that although he had some young master style, he was not spending money recklessly, so he was relieved.

The carriage passed through the market in the west of the city and gradually entered the outskirts of the city.A large field appeared in front of my eyes, and it looked very deserted in winter. There were few people in the field, and the carriage ran past on the ridge.

A child was squatting and playing in the dry field. When he heard the sound, he looked up and saw the Yun family's family crest on the carriage, and ran to the other side of the field yelling.

"Bai family Qingguan come back, Yun's husband come back!"

The cry provoked many farmers to come out of the warm house to look around.

Planting wine rice starts in spring and harvests in autumn. It takes half a year of hard work. In winter, even if you don’t work, you won’t be hungry, and you don’t need to work hard for a whole year.The season when the Yun Family Wine Store started to be busy was precisely the time when the Bai Family was at its most leisurely.When the carriage arrived at the gate of Bai's house, Bai's father and Bai's father had already greeted him at the gate.

Xia Yue got out of the carriage first, and many onlookers gathered around him. It took three years to see the young master of the Yun family again. Although he might have lost some weight, he seemed to be more handsome than before, which immediately caused a burst of exclamation.

Xia Yue didn't care, he only focused on looking into the carriage, and carefully helped Shi Yan out of the carriage. His considerate and considerate attitude made several young men's eyes red, and the Bai family's parents were even more delighted to see it.

Helping Shiyan out of the car, Xia Yue let Shiyan go ahead and followed behind.When returning home for the first time, according to the custom, Qing Guan should lead the way.

I haven't seen my parents for more than a month. Although Shiyan has no expression on his face, his eager steps reveal his mood.He quickly walked up to his father, looked them over carefully, saw that their faces were rosy, he was relieved, and then he called for someone.

"Father, Daddy, Shiyan is back to see you."

Bai's father and Bai's father smiled and nodded in response to him.At this time Xia Yue stepped forward, held Shi Yan's hand, and bowed in salute: "Father-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law brought Shi Yan back home."

"Hey, good, good. We have been waiting for Master Yun all morning." Father Bai smiled very happily.

Xia Yue also smiled and replied: "Father-in-law, you are an elder, so it's good to call me Xia Yue."

Father Bai smiled so much that his eyes narrowed, and he nodded quickly in response.

"Daddy Yue," Xia Yue took out a list from his pocket, handed it to Daddy Bai and said, "This is the gift list for returning home, please keep it, and I will let them deliver the gift for returning home."

Daddy Bai thanked him, took it with both hands, and without looking at it, he called the servant who got off the other carriage and said, "Let's put it in the yard first, and I'll trouble you guys."

Seeing Xia Yue nodding, the servants began to unload the gifts in the car and move them to the Bai family's yard.

Here, Father Bai has already welcomed Xia Yue and Shi Yan into the house.

Bai's house looks like a courtyard, but there is no house on the side of the gate, and the courtyard wall is built with earth bricks.Entering the yard, the main house is directly opposite, the side room where the children sleep is on the right, and the kitchen is on the left.There is also a large yard next door. There is a tall warehouse in the yard, which should be used to store grain and seeds. The large yard is probably used to stack the harvested rice and grind the rice for bagging.

Shi Yan followed Daddy Bai back to the room, Xia Yue knew that Daddy Bai had a lot to ask his family, and Shi Yan must have a lot to tell Daddy, so he just smiled and nodded to him, and followed Father Bai into the main house .

Father Bai asked Xia Yue to sit on the right side of the upper seat in the main house, poured hot tea for him, and sat down on the left side himself, chatting with him with a smile.Father Bai was also very happy when he heard that Xia Yue was going to inherit the wine store.It's not just because his family has promised to be his husband. Father Bai and Master Yun have known each other for many years. Naturally, he knows how much Master Yun regrets that his son has no intention of taking over the wine store. Now that Xia Yue is willing to inherit, Master Yun must be very happy .

The two chatted about this year's new wine, Xia Yue sincerely praised the quality of Baijia wine rice, the wine produced was mellow and delicious, and they were all excellent wines, which made Bai's father even more happy.Xia Yue asked some more about wine and rice, Father Bai happily answered him one by one, and the two of them talked happily.

When talking about pouring the second cup of tea, Xia Yue saw that the brothers-in-law hadn't shown up until now, so he asked his father-in-law about it.

"The little ones went to the mountains early in the morning," Father Bai said with a smile, "They said they wanted to feed my brother with turtledoves, and they probably won't be back in a while."

After Xia Yue heard this, although he was a little worried about the danger in the mountains in winter, he thought that they were all children who were used to running in the mountains. Since his father was not worried, there should be no problem, so he just smiled and asked about the ages of his brothers-in-law.

"The eldest is thirteen, and will be fourteen in two months. The next one is eleven, and the two ten-year-olds are twins. The youngest is nine years old. There are too many births, and we can't even see them. In spring, I have to take care of the fields again, and I have been busy working until autumn. The little ones are almost all brought up by Shi Yan. This child is well-behaved and sensible since he was a child. In fact, it would be great if I stopped him from doing too many things, otherwise I wouldn't have a high fever when I was ten years old, and it would be like this now."

Father Bai said, looking carefully at Xia Yue: "Master Yun, I know that our Shi Yan's face is stiff and unpleasant, and it's not something you'd like to do. It's already a tall order for us to be married to the Yun family. I shouldn't ask for anything more. It's just that Shiyan is a good boy and has a good temper. She won't argue about anything. I just want to beg you. In the future, I will take the servant I like as your servant, and don't let us, Shiyan, be bullied .”

Xia Yue quietly listened to Father Bai's words, then put down the teacup in his hand, turned to face Father Bai, and said seriously: "Father-in-law, you worry too much, there won't be a servant, let alone Shiyan will be bullied."

"Eh?" Father Bai was a little dazed, wondering if he had heard something wrong.

"I won't take the servant. In this life, I only need Shiyan."

Xia Yue said word by word, his voice was as gentle as jade, and it was loud and loud.

"You... What you said is true?" Father Bai's voice trembled, his face full of disbelief.If Young Master Yun wanted to say something to comfort him, there would be dozens if not hundreds of other words, so he would never pick this one.It is definitely not a joke that the Lang Guan of a rich family said that he would not take the servant.But to say that Young Master Yun is serious, it's hard for Father Bai to believe it.

Xia Yue smiled, very warm and sincere.

"Father-in-law, Xia Yue dares to swear to Dionysus, this sentence is absolutely true. Please rest assured that there is nothing wrong with Shiyan. I like him very much. I will treat him well in this life, love him, and not let him suffer any grievances." .”

Father Bai looked at the sincere eyes of the new son in front of him, and heard him swear to Dionysus, even if he wanted to doubt it.He already felt that it was a blessing that his ancestors accumulated virtue to be allowed to enter Yun's house. He didn't expect that Young Master Yun would be so attentive to Shiyan, and he swore an oath not to take anything else.Recalling Xia Yue's caring attitude towards Shiyan when he got off the carriage just now, Father Bai was grateful and moved, his eyes were red with joy.

"Also, father-in-law, please call me Xia Yue, and don't use honorific words to me anymore." Xia Yue smiled gently and lowered his posture, "I am your son-in-law now, not the young master of the Yun family."

"Okay, okay, Xia Yue, Xia Yue, Hao'er, Hao'er..." Bai's eyes were red, and he hurriedly agreed, not knowing what to say with joy.

It's not only Bai's father who is red-eyed, but also Shiyan and Bai's father who are standing by the door in a daze.

Daddy Bai called his son into the room, and took a closer look at it. Although his son couldn't see any expression on his face, Daddy Bai could still tell that he was doing well.I was worried that he would be neglected by her husband, but just now at the door, I saw that the young master of the Yun family helped Shiyan get off the carriage and took the initiative to hold hands, it seemed that it was not what I imagined.Seeing that Shiyan's complexion is rosy now, her clothes are carefully dressed, and there is a silver comb in her hair, no matter how she looks like she is loved by her husband, Daddy Bai feels much more at ease.

One by one, I asked about Shi Yan's marriage and how the past month has been. Knowing that the bridal chamber is not available for the time being, Daddy Bai felt a little uneasy, but after thinking about it, it was a matter of Lang Guan's physical condition, and he didn't intend to be indifferent to his family. Shiyan, let alone worry about going to other courtiers, so I feel at ease again.

Later, I heard Shiyan say how Xia Yue loved him, didn't mind his stiff face, approached him actively, gave him some clothes, taught him how to drink, took him shopping, gave him gifts, Bai Daddy couldn't close his eyes even more with a smile Mouth.Shicai was still secretly sighing in his heart that Shiyan's outfit was beautiful, but he didn't expect it to be arranged by Master Yun. Hearing what Shiyan said, Daddy Bai would have thought that his family's Qingguan and Master Yun's family had a private relationship, and that they had a deep relationship. Cheng's dear.

To be able to love so much a husband who is not my favorite, the young master of the Yun family is really a gentle and considerate official. It is no wonder that so many young ladies in Yincheng secretly admire him.

Thinking of this, Daddy Bai's heart, which was still very happy, sank again. He sighed, took Shiyan's hand and gently stroked it, and said slowly: "It's rare that Master Yun is so considerate and loving to you. It's a blessing not to come. It's just Shiyan, you have to know your duty, the Yun family is a big family, even though the young master loves you now, he will still take the servant in the future."

After a pause, Daddy Bai emphasized again: "There is no young master who does not want to be a servant."

Seeing Shiyan lowered her eyebrows and looked very docile, Daddy Bai couldn't bear it, but continued to say: "At that time, he may not treat you as much as he does now, you have to maintain a good attitude, Don't think too much about it. No matter what your background is or how you entered the Yun family, you are the right husband, and the servant can't ride on your head no matter what. It's just...you have to bear with the fact that Master Yun is giving you the love he has now given to others. people."

Shi Yan nodded obediently, he had actually thought about this matter clearly a long time ago, and he has made up his mind: "Dad, don't worry, Shi Yan understands that being loved by my husband is already a blessing I stole, and there will be no dissatisfaction." of."

Seeing his son being so sensible, Daddy Bai felt distressed, but he had no choice but to nod his head, stretched out his arms to hug Shi Yan, and patted his shoulder for comfort.

Then Daddy Bai took out the gift list that Xia Yue gave him, and looked at it carefully, the more he looked at it, the more he sighed, the gift list of Young Master Yun was so perfect that nothing leaked.Not only can it be on the table, it has a lot of face in front of the neighbors, but it also takes into account the practicality.Not a single thing is superfluous, even ornaments are useful.The most astonishing thing is the twenty catties of charcoal. The price of charcoal is not low, and it is almost only for rich people to burn it often. Master Yun gives twenty catties as a gift, and the Bai family can't use so much in a year.

The cheap charcoal that Bai's family burns for heating on weekdays is smoky and smoky. It can't be burned when the doors and windows are closed. If the doors and windows are open, it is not sure whether it will be warmer or colder.It’s okay for adults to get used to it all year round, but the children in the family, except for the second boy who started to help the family two years ago, can withstand the cold, and the nine-year-old and ten-year-old children are still tender and tender, and they turn red after a while after freezing. Although they are sensible and don't cry, but as a father, it is very distressing in the eyes.

Daddy Bai looked at the ink charcoal, stone basin, and sleeve stove listed on the gift list, and he was very worried.

After reading all the gift lists, Daddy Bai couldn't sit still, he wanted to thank this caring son, so he pulled Shi Yan and walked towards the main house.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got closer, he heard Xia Yue say the words of not taking the servant.

Not to mention that Father Bai couldn't believe it inside, he and Shi Yan looked at each other in surprise, both suspecting that they had heard it wrong.But Xia Yue's firm voice came to their ears clearly, every word was serious and sincere, they couldn't help but believe it.

Shiyan was dumbfounded all of a sudden, and Daddy Bai even covered his mouth, for fear of crying accidentally.After finally digesting Xia Yue's words, Daddy Bai felt unstoppable ecstasy. He hugged Shiyan tightly and bit his lower lip hard, otherwise he really wanted to scream or cry.

How many ladies and gentlemen can't wait for their husband to say such a sentence.That's all for the poor, but for those who are a little richer, many of them will take an extra Langguan, and no one in a rich family will not take a servant.Didn't Master Yun originally planned to take the servant, but because Mrs. Yun had an accident, Master Yun felt sorry for her husband.But his Shiyan had just entered the Yun family, and Master Yun didn't know Shiyan before they got married, and his relationship foundation was much weaker than that of other couples, but Master Yun actually gave him such a promise to Jia Shiyan.

Daddy Bai held Shiyan's expressionless face, tears streaming down his face uncontrollably.

Qing Guan, who has no one to propose a marriage, used to be so worried that Shi Yan would not get a good home. How could he have thought that after so many years of desertion, Shi Yan would finally get such a good husband who is one in a thousand?If this word gets out, all the courtiers in Yincheng will envy his Shiyan to death.

When Daddy Bai watched his family's Qingguan weep happily, the voices of teenagers and children came from outside the door, it was Shiyan's younger brothers who came back from hunting turtledoves.
