Wearing back to ancient times is good for old age
Chapter 2 Reason
How much more do you want?More than one hundred thousand taels of silver a year, not more than ten taels, brother! "
"Hee hee, this is all my dowry. Kiss Feng Ye, for the sake of so many dowries, you must treat me well in the future!"
"Fuck you!" Feng Ye smiled and pushed him.
"Ha ha……"
The two stayed together in the room for a while, and Xiao Yuanhe went down to the casino with Feng Ye. Such a good opportunity should not be wasted, you must take a good look at it.
According to Xiao Yuanhe, this casino is open all night. The lobby on the first floor is an ordinary one, crowded and lively; The living room, which is the same as the room they stayed in just now, can be used for both gambling and rest.Tea, wine, meals and snacks are provided in the gambling house, and there is also a service of recruiting prostitutes. Some gamblers openly put their arms around the gaudy women while betting and kissing them.
Feng Ye is not good at these things, and he doesn't know how to play. After looking around, he feels dull, and the air inside is even more uncomfortable. Xiao Yuanhe saw that he had no interest, so he took him back.
When he got up the next day, Feng Ye asked him: "Since there is a house in the gambling house, why do you still stay at the inn?"
"Hehe, I'm afraid you'll find it noisy and messy! What's the matter, do you like that room?"
"No, it's just strange that you have such a good place to stay and you still have to spend money to stay in a hotel. Okay, what are we going to do today?"
"Let's go to Zhengtai Bank first, and then I will show you around."
"Okay! At noon, let's go to the seafood restaurant last night!" Feng Ye was thinking about this, since Xiao Yuanhe is so rich, there is no need to worry about eating more and packing more.
The two walked to Chint Bank two streets away, looked at the things Mrs. Xiao entrusted someone to deliver, and agreed with the shopkeeper to come to pick them up early in the morning, and then continued walking shopping.
At noon, I went to eat seafood as usual, and then went back to the inn to rest.
The whole afternoon, Feng Ye fell asleep and passed away. When it was dark, the two of them took a shower and ate in the lobby downstairs. The seafood feast was actually very greasy, and they ate a hard meal at noon. After that, Feng Ye felt that he had no appetite.
After ordering a few light side dishes, Feng Ye and Xiao Yuanhe sat and ate while listening to the people next to them talking about the Nanyuan Lantern Festival tonight and the night market that opened on every day.
At the table next to Feng Ye and the others was a young man in purple, who kept looking at Feng Ye and Xiao Yuanhe when they came down to eat.Xiao Yuanhe recognized that it was the young gentleman who stayed with them on the road and also stayed in this inn, and felt slightly displeased when he noticed his frequent scrutiny, so he stared at him as he looked over. .
The young man was not annoyed by being knocked out, instead he nodded to him with a smile on his face, and then got up and walked towards them.
"Brother, excuse me, I wonder if I can sit here and say a few words?"
Feng Ye was picking up the food, when he saw the young man in purple who was sitting next to them stand at their table and greeted them with fists cupped. Feng Ye had no impression of him, so he glanced at Xiao Yuanhe, full of doubts.
"Yeah. Sit down." Xiao Yuanhe gestured very coldly.
The young man in purple lifted his robe and sat opposite Feng Ye, and said with a smile: "I'm Qin Feng, I don't know what to call you two?"
"My surname is Xiao, his surname is Li."
"Young Master Xiao and Young Master Li, please forgive me for being presumptuous. I don't know where you two are from? Where are your ancestral home?"
What's the meaning?I don't know him well, so I'll check my household registration as soon as I come!Feng Ye pouted secretly.
"Oh, I don't mean anything, it's just that Mr. Li looks very similar to a friend of mine, and this friend of mine has been looking for his aunt and cousin. My mother is a bit similar, so I took the liberty to ask, please forgive me. "Scholarly family" the purple-clothed son saw that Feng Ye and Xiao Yuanhe were both silent with displeasure, and quickly explained.
Feng Ye was taken aback when he heard that, aunt and cousin?Feng Ye and Xiao Yuanhe looked at each other for a few times, and they both saw suspicion in each other's eyes.
The young man in purple also saw the disbelief in the eyes of the two, and after thinking for a while, he said softly: "My good friend's mother is surnamed Wang, and her natal family is in Hongzhou. She was separated from her family when she escaped the flood more than ten years ago. Say I don’t know if you believe me or not?”
Feng Ye was stunned when he heard this, isn't the Hongzhou Wang family his mother's natal family? !
59 Anju
South Park.
At the beginning of the night.
When Feng Ye and Xiao Yuanhe, who had rushed over early to watch the lanterns, came to the entrance of the South Garden in a carriage, they found that the place was already full of people, and the roadside at the entrance was full of all kinds of carriages, sedan chairs, and others. Many people carried loads and pushed small trucks to sell all kinds of food and gadgets, which crowded the originally spacious Cross Street.
It is probably because this garden is a private garden, and it is rare to enter it at ordinary times. At this time, it is fully open. People in the city take advantage of this time to take a look at it, and peddlers also take the opportunity to make a fortune.
Although there are many people, the order is still good, because there are officials and guards guarding the door.
Several strings of bright red lanterns were hung on the pillars outside the gate of the garden. From the gate to the walls on both sides, there were also red lanterns hanging every one meter or so, illuminating the entire perimeter of the garden.
Feng Ye and Xiao Yuanhe followed the people/flowing in. There was a brick-paved avenue in the middle, with large flowerbeds and grasslands on both sides, laurel trees with luxuriant branches and leaves, blossoming wintersweet and some light-striped trees. There are three or five lanterns of different shapes hanging.
This lantern trial was organized by several well-known lantern workshops in Anzhou City in conjunction with merchants and the government. In addition to being lively, it should be for the purpose of showing off the lanterns and attracting customers to buy them. Feng Ye heard some people commenting on which lamps belong to which company, which company's lamps are the best, how much the price is, and so on.In Anzhou, it is said that people like to decorate their homes with all kinds of lanterns and lanterns during the New Year, so as to welcome the New Year in a prosperous and bright manner.
The soft lights illuminate the shadowy flowers and plants on the ground, such as peonies, chrysanthemums, rhododendrons, bellflowers, cyclamen, cabbage, pansies, poinsettia... more are plum trees, some are bare, not yet in bloom, some are There are also blooming wintersweet in the stubble, and the tender yellow flowers exude a strong fragrance.
Not far along the avenue is a rockery with a pool. There are several clumps of bamboo and winter vines planted on the rockery, and there is a small pavilion with cornices on it. Some people put things on it and chatted while eating.
Walking along the bifurcated path, there will be a hexagonal pavilion not far away, made of bricks and stones, wood and bamboo. The further you go inside, the denser the flowers and trees, and the more delicate the pavilion.There are also some small pavilions, hidden behind the lush trees. When passing by, you can hear the laughter of women, which should be the female relatives who came to visit the garden.
There are corridors carved with beams and paintings in the garden, and there are lanterns hanging on the eaves of the corridors on both sides, which is very eye-catching when it slips past.In the octagonal pavilion on the grass on one side of the promenade, young scholars are reciting poems and guessing riddles. There are some calligraphy, painting and poems hanging on the branches next to it, and many people gather around to comment.
Feng Ye neither understands nor has much interest in these things, after watching it for a while, he finds it boring, and just thinks that there is nothing interesting about this lantern festival, so he drags Xiao Yuanhe into it, thinking only about the whole garden. It's enough to take a rough look at it, and it's not a waste of time.
Xiao Yuanhe was dragged by him, thinking that this is not a garden tour, it is clearly a sight-seeing!
Feng Ye walked all the way in, and saw a small lake. On the lake were patches of withered lotuses, with bare lotus leaf stalks; the lakesides were full of willow trees with bare branches, and now they were also covered with various flowers. All kinds of lanterns.
There are several waterside pavilions in the lake. At this time, the lights inside are brightly lit, and the lanterns by the lake complement each other, decorating the withered and ruined lake scenery with flashes of light and magnificence.
When Feng Ye and Xiao Yuanhe walked to the lake, they heard jokes and music coming from the waterside pavilion. From the open window, they could see a woman holding a pipa and playing.
The people gathered in the water pavilion should be people of some status. Feng Ye saw the official guards with knives standing at the entrance of the corridor bridge to prevent people from entering, and only those with name cards were allowed to pass.
After wandering around inside, Feng Ye felt that there was nothing to see, Xiao Yuanhe saw that he was not interested, so he dragged him out.Feng Ye became happy when he found Old Liu with a handlebar at the door and asked him to drive him to the night market in the east of the city.
There are night markets in many prefecture cities of Dashang Kingdom, especially in the south. The night market in Anzhou is located at the junction of the south and east of the city, close to the brothel area. It was originally developed from a snack street specializing in night food business. Now the night market has expanded countless times, but the area around Brothel Street is still the busiest.
Today is the opening day of the night market and the Lantern Festival. The night in Anzhou City is much more lively than usual. From Nanyuan to Fulai Inn, and extending to the night market, there are many shops open on the main streets here. Horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians coming and going on the road can be seen everywhere.
"There are mainly small commodity shops here, and they sell ordinary daily necessities. From here, there is the Biandan Street, which specializes in snacks, and then there is Dongxiang Street, where there are many brothels; from here, there are foreign merchants setting up stalls. place."
Xiao Yuanhe introduced as they walked, Lao Liu drove the carriage behind them, Feng Ye bought some small things from time to time, there were nine chains, jigsaw puzzles, bird whistles, small sets of shadow puppets for children to play, and exquisitely carved puppets Ornaments, cups, cups, saucers, dim sum molds, small iron hoes, small picks, pestles and mortars, flower seeds packed in small sachets, beautifully embroidered tapestries, small handkerchiefs, woolen mats, small cotton Boots, leather hats, a cloak said to be made of eagle feathers, storable beef jerky, sheep bacon, milk powder, beautiful horn cups, small accessories, fruit saplings and crop seeds brought by the traveling merchants in the south, for home use , as a gift... By the time I finished shopping a few night markets, the small things in the carriage could already be packed into a box.
Feng Ye simply bought another wicker box, and after returning to the inn, he sat on the bed and carefully packed the things he bought.
"Are you really going back tomorrow? Is there any place you want to go shopping?" Xiao Yuanhe watched him playing with those little things, carefully put them into the wicker box with eyes full of joy, and asked him funny.
Feng Ye tilted his head and glanced at him, "No more, I didn't intend to come out to play on purpose, besides, Xing'er must be unhappy waiting at home, let's play together again when I have a chance, I don't like this place Familiar, who knows where to go shopping now?!"
He thought for a while, then hesitated and said, "...that is, the man named Qin Feng, do you think what he said is true?"
Xiao Yuanhe sat over and stroked his hair, "There is no need for him to lie, and didn't you say that no one else knew about your mother's natal family except some people in the village? He said he was from Xiangzhou. His accent also proves that he is telling the truth. Although Xiangzhou and Dieshan Village are not very far apart, but he doesn’t know you, logically speaking, he has no reason to lie to you, and he knows so clearly about your mother’s natal family It can be seen that the facts should be as he said, and the person involved asked him to help find the person."
Feng Ye lowered his head and thought for a while, "Then you say..."
"Hehe, since it's not a scam, do whatever you think in your heart, I will support you, don't be afraid, even if something happens, I'm still there!"
"Well, let's go find him later. The scholarly family." Feng Ye looked at him softly. Since they are trying so hard to find people, he should also be more active towards people who are most likely to be his relatives. of.
"Okay! After walking for half the night, you must be hungry. Let's have something to eat later. The fresh noodles in the restaurant opposite are good."
The two talked softly while packing their luggage. After putting all the things they brought and bought into the boxes, they took each other to find that Mr. Qin Feng.
Qin Feng stayed in the inn all night tonight. He has been to Anzhou several times, and he is not uncommon for the bustle. He was thinking about something, so he paced anxiously in the room.
Hua Yanzhi is his classmate and friend, and also the person he likes. After meeting Mr. Li yesterday, he finally got a clue about what he asked himself to inquire about all these years. However, the other party doesn't seem to believe him very much. , or believe it, but they don't care about this relative who ran out halfway.
That Mr. Li does look a bit like Yanzhi's mother, and after he mentioned the Hongzhou Wang family yesterday, the surprised expression of that young master also showed that he should be the person Yanzhi was looking for. No, at least I know the inside story.
He was very excited at the time, thinking that Yan Zhi knew how happy he was to know about this, so he directly asked the young man surnamed Li. Unexpectedly, the effect would be bad if he was too eager, especially the young man surnamed Xiao son, keep an eye on him
He left his room number for those two people, but after waiting for half the night, no one came. He will leave here and return to Xiangzhou tomorrow, alas...
In the midst of anxiety and helplessness, there was a knock on the door of the room, he jumped in a daze, and when he heard the voice of Mr. Li, he immediately ran over joyfully.
Opening the door, it was indeed them standing outside.
"Mr. Qin, excuse me, can I talk to you about what you said tonight?"
"Of course! Come in, both of you!"
Qin Feng saw that Mr. Li's expression and knew that going back this time should give Yan Zhi a surprise.
Two quarters of an hour later, Qin Feng sent Feng Ye and Xiao Yuanhe out with a smile on his face, already impatient to go home.
Feng Ye felt a little baffled by his excitement, but he didn't say anything, went to the restaurant opposite with Xiao Yuanhe for supper and went back to his room to rest.
At dawn the next day, they got up early, drove the carriage to Chint Bank to pick up Xiao Yuanhe's things, and bought a lot of wine, cakes, fruits and other food in the shops that had opened in the city, and then went out of the city for a walk On the way home.
The weather was very good that day, the sun came out not long after leaving the city, Feng Ye sat by the car window and lifted the curtain to look outside, thinking that if he was riding a horse, it would be more like an outing.
After arriving in Huai'an County, Feng Ye deliberately asked Lao Liu to go into the city, bought a few catties of the snacks that he ate last time, bought lunch in the city, and then contentedly slept on the swinging carriage.
60 Recognition
Feng Ye and Xiao Yuanhe returned to Butterfly Mountain Village, before the carriage arrived at the door, they heard Xiao Xing'er's excited voice shouting: "Brother, Brother Xiao! Brother, you are back!"
Feng Ye opened the curtain of the car, and saw the child galloping towards him with his hands waving and his short legs. The rabbit fur of the hat on his head fluttered like a piece of short water weed in the wind.
"Brother, brother, you're back!" The child hugged Feng Ye who got out of the car, and complained aggrievedly, frowning.
Qing Shan who followed behind said: "Young master, young master, you can be considered to be back. The young master has been waiting for you at the door after eating these two days. Reasonable, even Uncle Qing can't persuade him!"
Feng Ye picked up the child, rubbed his face and rubbed his face, it was really cold, this child is really... well, looking at his pitiful appearance, but he is reluctant to say him, Feng Ye can only let Qing Shan go back to build a stove , Xiao Yuanhe's hands and feet were cold after driving back from the county seat. Even if there is sun in this winter, the mountain wind is still very cold.
"My lord, the brazier has already been lit in the house, you guys go in quickly, I will drive the carriage into the yard, and look at the young master's huge pile of boxes and cages."
"Come in quickly! I'll move things, you two are tired after driving for a long time, sit and rest." Mu Qing who came out of the house after hearing the sound also said.
"Yeah." Feng Ye carried the child into the main room, the brazier inside was burning red charcoal, and there were a few sweet potatoes half buried in the charcoal beside the brazier, and the room was warmly filled with the scent of roasted sweet potatoes. Burnt aroma.
"Okay, Xing'er is good, don't be angry, isn't my brother back? Look" pointing to the boxes and packages that Qing Shan and Mu Qing moved out of the car, "My brother also bought a lot of fun for Xing'er." Yes, delicious food, stop pouting Xing'er, look, you can hang an oil bottle and tie a cow rope."
"Brother hates it! Brother is bad! After going for so long, Xing'er is tired and cold after waiting, and my brother still hasn't come back! From now on, brother is not allowed to lose Xing'er and run away, and Xing'er will follow him wherever he goes!"
"Yes yes yes, brother hates it, brother is bad, we Xing'er are tired and cold, brother should slap. Now, one slap, two slaps," Feng Ye smiled and grabbed the awkward child's hand and slapped it on his face Take a shot, "Xing'er hit me too, so don't be angry, brother sleeps with Xing'er tonight, and apologize to Xing'er, eh? Okay, just smile! Haha, that's right, brother hurts the most Xing'er is gone, how could I lose Xing'er and run away!"
Alas, it seems that it is not good to raise a child too lively. It is not easy to coax the troubled child into a smile by seeing him cede the land and pay compensation. Now he finally understands that his parents raised him in the previous life suffering.Fortunately, he is going to marry a man in this life, and he will not be able to have children. Otherwise, if he raises a son in the future, his good days will probably come to an end.
Feng Ye sat in the carriage for nearly a day, and went to bed early at night. Fortunately, Xing'er, who slept with him, was probably very tired today, so Feng Ye didn't have to doze off to coax the child. He held a small natural stove in his arms. Sleep till dawn.
After talking with Xiao Xing'er under the quilt for a while, Feng Ye slowly got up and ate sweet potato porridge that was so rotten and sweet, Feng Ye began to sort out the things brought back from Anzhou, and gave them to Gao Da Gifts from her natal family, Zhang Carpenter's family, Changsheng's family, and some elders in the clan were sent out one by one, using the words that Xiao Yuanhe gave small gifts to each family.After returning from the old aunt's house, Feng Ye couldn't help laughing when he thought of the sentence "Xiaotong's daughter-in-law is filial and sensible" that his uncle and uncle said with a smile all over his face.
In the next two days, the weather suddenly turned very cold, and it was drizzling every day. The north wind blew the paper pasted on the doors and windows "bubu" muffled. .
In fact, the current temperature is at most three or four degrees. There is no such thing as minus or minus at all, but it is also extremely cold here. Whenever such weather occurs, one needs to warm up by a fire. Anyway, there are a lot of charcoal and firewood. yes.
Feng Ye is also very intolerable to the cold. He was a southerner in his previous life. The coldest place he has been to for more than 20 years is when he was in college. In the southwest, he saw snow in winter, but there was heating in the school at that time. , He couldn't catch the cold.This life is also a southerner, but it may be due to staying in the mountain village. He feels that it is very cold in winter, even colder than going outside when it snowed in his previous life.Of course, the most likely thing is that his physique is indeed very bad. He didn't forget that when he first came here, he was much thinner and yellow than his peers. Aunt Gao also said that he was often sick when he was a child.
Therefore, Xiao Yuanhe's previous furs and fur cloaks that he just brought back from Anzhou were put to use by Feng Ye.
Two days later, the drizzle finally stopped. Although the sky was still gloomy and windy, it was much better than the wetness of the previous few days, and people were visibly happier.
On this afternoon, Feng Ye rolled on the couch in the living room like a little white mouse, playing jigsaw puzzles with Xing'er, while Xiao Yuanhe and Mu Qing were sitting by the fireplace reading a book and drinking tea. Calling voice.
Feng Ye ignored it and continued playing with the children. After a while, Mu Qing led Li Shangqiao in.
This young man had a good time with Chang Sheng, he is a young man who treats people sincerely and lives a prudent life, Feng Ye has a good impression of him, when he saw him enter the room and looked at Xiao Yuanhe and himself as if at a loss, he greeted him with a smile: " Brother Shangqiao, please sit down and drink a cup of hot tea to warm your hands."
"No, no, I'm just here to show someone the way, so I'll be leaving soon." The young man scratched his head and waved his hands in embarrassment.
lead the way?
Feng Ye looked at Mu Qing suspiciously, and Mu Qing also looked puzzled: "A carriage came outside, said to be your cousin, and I haven't heard you mention it, so no one has come in yet..."
"Yes, yes, those two young masters said they were looking for you, so I brought him here, and he is outside the door now." Li Shangqiao also responded with a silly smile.
oh?A stranger who came to look for a cousin, could it be—
Feng Ye didn't expect Qin Feng to come so quickly. After talking with Qin Feng in Anzhou that day, he had almost confirmed that the mother of the friend Qin Feng mentioned was his mother's lost sister. Find another time to go to Xiangzhou to visit in person, unexpectedly the other party came here so soon.
There was also a young son who came with Qin Feng. His face was three points similar to Feng Ye's. Although he was one year younger than Feng Ye, Feng Ye looked younger.
It seems that the appearance of both of them is more inherited from their respective mothers, and Feng Ye thought, his mother and sisters don't know how similar they are.
Welcoming the guests into the room, Feng Ye also forgot to say hello, and stared at Hua Yanzhi and fell into deep thought, until Xiao Yuanhe secretly pinched his elbow by the side, and when he came back to his senses, he saw There was unhappiness hidden in Xiao Yuanhe's eyes.
After getting along for a long time, Feng Ye has almost grasped Xiao Yuanhe's temper, knowing that he stared at Hua Yanzhi too much, making him jealous.
Feng Ye squeezed his hand under the cover of his sleeve, and slid his fingertips lightly across his palm, and saw the happy spark in his eyes, and smiled enthusiastically at Qin Feng and Hua Yanzhi.This man, in fact, is really domineering and unreasonable sometimes, but fortunately, only occasionally.
"Li...Feng Ye, my mother and I have been very excited after learning about this incident from Brother Qin. It rained for a few days, and I rushed over as soon as the rain stopped. My mother wanted to come too, but my mother is not healthy. It's not very good, it's too cold to go out, so I didn't let her come with me... This is a token that my mother asked me to bring. "Scholarly family" Hua Yanzhi excitedly took out a handkerchief bag from his arms The thing she was wearing was opened, and inside was a hairpin made of brass and a beautifully braided wrist rope. The hairpin was carved into the shape of a butterfly flying, and a rough bead was worn on the wrist rope. The rope has turned white. The original color is gone.
"My mother said that these two things were given to them by my grandpa and grandma as birthday presents. The hairpin was ordered by my grandpa in the shop, the wrist rope was woven by my grandma, and the beads on this rope were the only ones my grandma had from me. It was removed from the jewelry. Because my mother and aunt are twins, each time my grandparents give them something, so these two things are also available at my aunt's."
Feng Ye understood what he meant. He remembered that there was a brass hairpin in the collection of old things at home. When he built a new house and packed things, he thought that maybe it was left behind by his ancestors, so he didn't throw it away. Now I don't know where it was stored.
"Feng Ye, when I cleaned up the house last time, I found an old box from the cabinet in the main room. I saw that there were some old things in it. Didn't you say that it was an old box left by the family? Something? I put it under the bed in your room, you can go and see if there is any." Mu Qing was obedient, looking at these two things, he knew that something that could be used as a token of the older generation in Feng Ye's hand was still worth it. It should be in that box too.
Feng Ye hurriedly ran to the next bedroom, dragged out the dilapidated wooden box from under the bed, opened it, and inside was a pillow made of bamboo strips, a pair of smooth stones, a weaving shuttle, a small The tulle wrapped in the shuttle wheel to weave the fish pocket, a wooden one-wheeled toy pony carriage...all look a little commemorative old things.
Feng Ye turned out a rusty brass hairpin from the bottom. The butterflies on the hairpin all turned green, but it could still be seen that it was exactly the same as the shiny one in Hua Yanzhi's hand. It came out of a mold.Flipping through it again, I found a wrist rope tied on it as a button from a small hydrangea that had changed color.
Comparing the two sides, Hua Yanzhi knew that Feng Ye must be the son of his sister whom his mother had been looking for for many years. Now, his mother's long-cherished wish for many years could finally come true.

Be a guest
When Feng Ye opened his eyes, he was in a daze for a moment. He turned his head and looked through the bed curtain. The bright sunlight shined on the ground through the window paper, and he felt that there was a brilliant warmth in the room.
Little Xing'er curled up in a ball on his chest and slept soundly, with one calf across his waist, two little paws still clutching his shirt tightly, the child's little head was buried in the quilt, breathing The sound could be heard clearly, his face was red from sleep, and his cute appearance was as cute as a little bird that had just hatched.
This child, it seemed that he was too excited yesterday, he didn't sleep until the middle of the night with the adults, and now he didn't wake up when the sun was shining on his butt, he usually got up early.
Feng Ye lifted the quilt a little, straightened the child's messy sleeping hair, turned over carefully and moved his neck.This hard pillow is really not as soft and comfortable as my own home cotton filling, and my neck is stiff after sleeping all night.
Seeing that the sun is out now, it shouldn’t be too early. After all, I’m a guest at someone’s house. It’s too late for Feng Ye to get up too late. I moved my body carefully to get up and get dressed. Just as I was pulling my hair, there was a ringing sound outside the door. The little maid said softly: "Has the young master woke up?"
Feng Ye let out a "hmm" and went to open the door. Two little maids were waiting outside the door with a smile on their hands, and when they saw Feng Ye opened the door, they bowed their heads and blessed their bodies. "Morning son!"
"Mmm, good morning." Feng Ye still can't get used to this kind of respect. At home, he does everything by himself, at most, it's just Mu Qing and Xiao Yuanhe helping to bring hot water. How has he ever been served by someone so respectful? Pass!
"My lord, breakfast is ready. Madame asks if you want to use it in your room or in the front hall?" asked the older maid.
"Go to the front hall, I'll be there in a while."
"Yes." The two little maids closed the door and left. After Feng Ye finished washing, she heard Xing'er's soft voice.
"elder brother……"
Following the little body on the bed, the quilt was arched, revealing the small head, fisting his hands and rubbing his eyes, Feng Ye was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he hurried over to put on clothes, shoes and socks for him, combed his hair, and held him in his arms After wiping his hands, face and neck, and letting him rinse his mouth with warm salt water, the child gradually woke up.
"Good morning, brother!" The sober child squinted his eyebrows and kissed Feng Ye's cheek.
"Good morning, little Xinger!" Feng Ye also hugged the child and kissed him on both cheeks, rubbing his cheeks, "Okay, my brother and I are getting up early, let's go have breakfast, auntie should be in a hurry .”
"okay!"
The brothers went out to the front hall.
This is Hua Yanzhi's home in Xiangzhou City, that is, Feng Ye's aunt's home. Yesterday, Feng Ye and Xiao Yuanhe brought Xing'er to visit Hua Yanzhi and Qin Feng. Feng Ye didn't want to come in such a hurry. , but Hua Yanzhi said that his mother must be anxiously waiting for him to go at home (mainly because Hua Yanzhi promised to bring Feng Ye home in order to persuade his mother not to go to Dieshan Village, Wu County) Xiangzhou, Feng Ye After thinking about it, anyway, I really have nothing to do at home, so let's hurry, anyway, I'm mentally prepared.
So, after Hua Yanzhi and Qin Feng stayed at Feng Ye's house for a day, Feng Ye decided to come to Xiangzhou (of course, this also has to ignore the strong instigation of Xiao Xing'er and Qing Shan, the two children were very sorry that they couldn't go to Anzhou with them last time) City quite mind).
They set off early yesterday morning and arrived at Xiangzhou Huayanzhi's house just after noon. Huayanzhi's mother and Fengye's aunt Mrs. Xiao was very excited when she saw Fengye. She tugged, crying and laughing for a while, and after dinner, she babbled with the old man for a long time, and it was very late at night when Hua Yanzhi and Feng Ye persuaded the old man to be able to Go to bed and rest.
Mrs. Hua escaped the flood with her parents in the early years. The queen mother took her sister and the prince hugged him. She had already escaped from the flood. The family of four followed a small caravan to the nearest Meiling County. Knowing that they had encountered robbers, the family of four lost their lives in a panic.
Father Wang took Mrs. Hua to Xiangzhou along with other refugees. The father and daughter did not have much money. I rented a small house in a large courtyard in the slums of Li. One worked as a coolie, and the other made a living by washing, sewing, mending, and selling embroidery.
Father Wang was originally a strong farmer who was used to hard work, but he was just a countryman who was bullied when he first arrived. Coupled with the hard work day and night, and missing his wife and children, he didn't survive for a few years. , the prince passed away, and his dying wish was to find his wife and eldest daughter, hoping that he could be buried with his wife and returned to his hometown of Hongzhou after his death.
Poor Mrs. Wang, a young and unaccompanied weak woman, suffered even more in such a situation. Fortunately, she met a kind-hearted little grocery merchant and took her in to work at her own house. Father Hua Yunfeng.
Hua Yunfeng was also an adopted orphan before. His adoptive parents kicked him out of the house after giving birth to his own child, but he relied on his own efforts to start from scratch and opened his own shop step by step.Later, he married Mrs. Hua, and worked together for more than ten years to earn a considerable fortune.
When life got better, Mrs. Hua wanted to find her mother and sister. She had been looking for her mother and sister continuously for more than ten years. Unfortunately, almost all the people who fled together died, and the rest disappeared. From the time of fleeing to Mrs. Hua, she sent people to search , it has been six or seven years later, and the people who were close to me at the beginning are all separated and unfamiliar.
Coincidentally, when Feng Ye's parents returned to the countryside of Hongzhou, those who were the first to return to their hometowns either died or moved away soon after. The old neighbors who moved back one after another after Ye's parents passed away happened to be on the opposite side of Feng Ye's parents.So there has been no progress in this matter for more than ten years. During this period, I have met a few people who came to recognize their relatives, but they were all liars who wanted to scam money. After coming and going, Mrs. Hua felt even more confused and sad.
Two years ago, Hua Yanzhi's father, Hua Yunfeng, also died of illness. Mrs. Hua suffered too much in her early years, and her health has deteriorated in the past two years. She misses her mother and sister who were separated when she was young. Muttering.Hua Yanzhi and Qin Feng entrusted people to increase the scope and strength of their search, but they still failed. Unexpectedly, this time Qin Feng went to Anzhou City and found Feng Ye by accident.
Although the death of her mother and sister made Mrs. Hua feel very sad, but she finally found the trace of her relatives. The close relatives can be reunited, and the old parents in the underground can rest in peace. After losing a few relatives, Mrs. Hua is very sad about Feng Ye who lost her parents since childhood. My nephew really wanted to enclose him under his knee forever and love him.
"Auntie, I kept you waiting." As soon as Feng Ye stepped into the front hall with Xing'er in his arms, he saw Mrs. Hua wearing a big cloak and a blanket on her legs, sitting in a big armchair chatting with Xiao Yuanhe. He opened his mouth to make Mrs. Hua very happy.
Mrs. Hua is also a responsible and knowledgeable woman (otherwise she wouldn't be able to help Mr. Hua earn such a large fortune), she was only slightly taken aback by the matter of Feng Ye marrying a man, then laughed and joked that their cousins are temperamental Like, to marry a wife is to choose a capable man, and make everyone in the room laugh.
A brazier was burned in the hall, and on the round table in the middle were several kinds of
"Hee hee, this is all my dowry. Kiss Feng Ye, for the sake of so many dowries, you must treat me well in the future!"
"Fuck you!" Feng Ye smiled and pushed him.
"Ha ha……"
The two stayed together in the room for a while, and Xiao Yuanhe went down to the casino with Feng Ye. Such a good opportunity should not be wasted, you must take a good look at it.
According to Xiao Yuanhe, this casino is open all night. The lobby on the first floor is an ordinary one, crowded and lively; The living room, which is the same as the room they stayed in just now, can be used for both gambling and rest.Tea, wine, meals and snacks are provided in the gambling house, and there is also a service of recruiting prostitutes. Some gamblers openly put their arms around the gaudy women while betting and kissing them.
Feng Ye is not good at these things, and he doesn't know how to play. After looking around, he feels dull, and the air inside is even more uncomfortable. Xiao Yuanhe saw that he had no interest, so he took him back.
When he got up the next day, Feng Ye asked him: "Since there is a house in the gambling house, why do you still stay at the inn?"
"Hehe, I'm afraid you'll find it noisy and messy! What's the matter, do you like that room?"
"No, it's just strange that you have such a good place to stay and you still have to spend money to stay in a hotel. Okay, what are we going to do today?"
"Let's go to Zhengtai Bank first, and then I will show you around."
"Okay! At noon, let's go to the seafood restaurant last night!" Feng Ye was thinking about this, since Xiao Yuanhe is so rich, there is no need to worry about eating more and packing more.
The two walked to Chint Bank two streets away, looked at the things Mrs. Xiao entrusted someone to deliver, and agreed with the shopkeeper to come to pick them up early in the morning, and then continued walking shopping.
At noon, I went to eat seafood as usual, and then went back to the inn to rest.
The whole afternoon, Feng Ye fell asleep and passed away. When it was dark, the two of them took a shower and ate in the lobby downstairs. The seafood feast was actually very greasy, and they ate a hard meal at noon. After that, Feng Ye felt that he had no appetite.
After ordering a few light side dishes, Feng Ye and Xiao Yuanhe sat and ate while listening to the people next to them talking about the Nanyuan Lantern Festival tonight and the night market that opened on every day.
At the table next to Feng Ye and the others was a young man in purple, who kept looking at Feng Ye and Xiao Yuanhe when they came down to eat.Xiao Yuanhe recognized that it was the young gentleman who stayed with them on the road and also stayed in this inn, and felt slightly displeased when he noticed his frequent scrutiny, so he stared at him as he looked over. .
The young man was not annoyed by being knocked out, instead he nodded to him with a smile on his face, and then got up and walked towards them.
"Brother, excuse me, I wonder if I can sit here and say a few words?"
Feng Ye was picking up the food, when he saw the young man in purple who was sitting next to them stand at their table and greeted them with fists cupped. Feng Ye had no impression of him, so he glanced at Xiao Yuanhe, full of doubts.
"Yeah. Sit down." Xiao Yuanhe gestured very coldly.
The young man in purple lifted his robe and sat opposite Feng Ye, and said with a smile: "I'm Qin Feng, I don't know what to call you two?"
"My surname is Xiao, his surname is Li."
"Young Master Xiao and Young Master Li, please forgive me for being presumptuous. I don't know where you two are from? Where are your ancestral home?"
What's the meaning?I don't know him well, so I'll check my household registration as soon as I come!Feng Ye pouted secretly.
"Oh, I don't mean anything, it's just that Mr. Li looks very similar to a friend of mine, and this friend of mine has been looking for his aunt and cousin. My mother is a bit similar, so I took the liberty to ask, please forgive me. "Scholarly family" the purple-clothed son saw that Feng Ye and Xiao Yuanhe were both silent with displeasure, and quickly explained.
Feng Ye was taken aback when he heard that, aunt and cousin?Feng Ye and Xiao Yuanhe looked at each other for a few times, and they both saw suspicion in each other's eyes.
The young man in purple also saw the disbelief in the eyes of the two, and after thinking for a while, he said softly: "My good friend's mother is surnamed Wang, and her natal family is in Hongzhou. She was separated from her family when she escaped the flood more than ten years ago. Say I don’t know if you believe me or not?”
Feng Ye was stunned when he heard this, isn't the Hongzhou Wang family his mother's natal family? !
59 Anju
South Park.
At the beginning of the night.
When Feng Ye and Xiao Yuanhe, who had rushed over early to watch the lanterns, came to the entrance of the South Garden in a carriage, they found that the place was already full of people, and the roadside at the entrance was full of all kinds of carriages, sedan chairs, and others. Many people carried loads and pushed small trucks to sell all kinds of food and gadgets, which crowded the originally spacious Cross Street.
It is probably because this garden is a private garden, and it is rare to enter it at ordinary times. At this time, it is fully open. People in the city take advantage of this time to take a look at it, and peddlers also take the opportunity to make a fortune.
Although there are many people, the order is still good, because there are officials and guards guarding the door.
Several strings of bright red lanterns were hung on the pillars outside the gate of the garden. From the gate to the walls on both sides, there were also red lanterns hanging every one meter or so, illuminating the entire perimeter of the garden.
Feng Ye and Xiao Yuanhe followed the people/flowing in. There was a brick-paved avenue in the middle, with large flowerbeds and grasslands on both sides, laurel trees with luxuriant branches and leaves, blossoming wintersweet and some light-striped trees. There are three or five lanterns of different shapes hanging.
This lantern trial was organized by several well-known lantern workshops in Anzhou City in conjunction with merchants and the government. In addition to being lively, it should be for the purpose of showing off the lanterns and attracting customers to buy them. Feng Ye heard some people commenting on which lamps belong to which company, which company's lamps are the best, how much the price is, and so on.In Anzhou, it is said that people like to decorate their homes with all kinds of lanterns and lanterns during the New Year, so as to welcome the New Year in a prosperous and bright manner.
The soft lights illuminate the shadowy flowers and plants on the ground, such as peonies, chrysanthemums, rhododendrons, bellflowers, cyclamen, cabbage, pansies, poinsettia... more are plum trees, some are bare, not yet in bloom, some are There are also blooming wintersweet in the stubble, and the tender yellow flowers exude a strong fragrance.
Not far along the avenue is a rockery with a pool. There are several clumps of bamboo and winter vines planted on the rockery, and there is a small pavilion with cornices on it. Some people put things on it and chatted while eating.
Walking along the bifurcated path, there will be a hexagonal pavilion not far away, made of bricks and stones, wood and bamboo. The further you go inside, the denser the flowers and trees, and the more delicate the pavilion.There are also some small pavilions, hidden behind the lush trees. When passing by, you can hear the laughter of women, which should be the female relatives who came to visit the garden.
There are corridors carved with beams and paintings in the garden, and there are lanterns hanging on the eaves of the corridors on both sides, which is very eye-catching when it slips past.In the octagonal pavilion on the grass on one side of the promenade, young scholars are reciting poems and guessing riddles. There are some calligraphy, painting and poems hanging on the branches next to it, and many people gather around to comment.
Feng Ye neither understands nor has much interest in these things, after watching it for a while, he finds it boring, and just thinks that there is nothing interesting about this lantern festival, so he drags Xiao Yuanhe into it, thinking only about the whole garden. It's enough to take a rough look at it, and it's not a waste of time.
Xiao Yuanhe was dragged by him, thinking that this is not a garden tour, it is clearly a sight-seeing!
Feng Ye walked all the way in, and saw a small lake. On the lake were patches of withered lotuses, with bare lotus leaf stalks; the lakesides were full of willow trees with bare branches, and now they were also covered with various flowers. All kinds of lanterns.
There are several waterside pavilions in the lake. At this time, the lights inside are brightly lit, and the lanterns by the lake complement each other, decorating the withered and ruined lake scenery with flashes of light and magnificence.
When Feng Ye and Xiao Yuanhe walked to the lake, they heard jokes and music coming from the waterside pavilion. From the open window, they could see a woman holding a pipa and playing.
The people gathered in the water pavilion should be people of some status. Feng Ye saw the official guards with knives standing at the entrance of the corridor bridge to prevent people from entering, and only those with name cards were allowed to pass.
After wandering around inside, Feng Ye felt that there was nothing to see, Xiao Yuanhe saw that he was not interested, so he dragged him out.Feng Ye became happy when he found Old Liu with a handlebar at the door and asked him to drive him to the night market in the east of the city.
There are night markets in many prefecture cities of Dashang Kingdom, especially in the south. The night market in Anzhou is located at the junction of the south and east of the city, close to the brothel area. It was originally developed from a snack street specializing in night food business. Now the night market has expanded countless times, but the area around Brothel Street is still the busiest.
Today is the opening day of the night market and the Lantern Festival. The night in Anzhou City is much more lively than usual. From Nanyuan to Fulai Inn, and extending to the night market, there are many shops open on the main streets here. Horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians coming and going on the road can be seen everywhere.
"There are mainly small commodity shops here, and they sell ordinary daily necessities. From here, there is the Biandan Street, which specializes in snacks, and then there is Dongxiang Street, where there are many brothels; from here, there are foreign merchants setting up stalls. place."
Xiao Yuanhe introduced as they walked, Lao Liu drove the carriage behind them, Feng Ye bought some small things from time to time, there were nine chains, jigsaw puzzles, bird whistles, small sets of shadow puppets for children to play, and exquisitely carved puppets Ornaments, cups, cups, saucers, dim sum molds, small iron hoes, small picks, pestles and mortars, flower seeds packed in small sachets, beautifully embroidered tapestries, small handkerchiefs, woolen mats, small cotton Boots, leather hats, a cloak said to be made of eagle feathers, storable beef jerky, sheep bacon, milk powder, beautiful horn cups, small accessories, fruit saplings and crop seeds brought by the traveling merchants in the south, for home use , as a gift... By the time I finished shopping a few night markets, the small things in the carriage could already be packed into a box.
Feng Ye simply bought another wicker box, and after returning to the inn, he sat on the bed and carefully packed the things he bought.
"Are you really going back tomorrow? Is there any place you want to go shopping?" Xiao Yuanhe watched him playing with those little things, carefully put them into the wicker box with eyes full of joy, and asked him funny.
Feng Ye tilted his head and glanced at him, "No more, I didn't intend to come out to play on purpose, besides, Xing'er must be unhappy waiting at home, let's play together again when I have a chance, I don't like this place Familiar, who knows where to go shopping now?!"
He thought for a while, then hesitated and said, "...that is, the man named Qin Feng, do you think what he said is true?"
Xiao Yuanhe sat over and stroked his hair, "There is no need for him to lie, and didn't you say that no one else knew about your mother's natal family except some people in the village? He said he was from Xiangzhou. His accent also proves that he is telling the truth. Although Xiangzhou and Dieshan Village are not very far apart, but he doesn’t know you, logically speaking, he has no reason to lie to you, and he knows so clearly about your mother’s natal family It can be seen that the facts should be as he said, and the person involved asked him to help find the person."
Feng Ye lowered his head and thought for a while, "Then you say..."
"Hehe, since it's not a scam, do whatever you think in your heart, I will support you, don't be afraid, even if something happens, I'm still there!"
"Well, let's go find him later. The scholarly family." Feng Ye looked at him softly. Since they are trying so hard to find people, he should also be more active towards people who are most likely to be his relatives. of.
"Okay! After walking for half the night, you must be hungry. Let's have something to eat later. The fresh noodles in the restaurant opposite are good."
The two talked softly while packing their luggage. After putting all the things they brought and bought into the boxes, they took each other to find that Mr. Qin Feng.
Qin Feng stayed in the inn all night tonight. He has been to Anzhou several times, and he is not uncommon for the bustle. He was thinking about something, so he paced anxiously in the room.
Hua Yanzhi is his classmate and friend, and also the person he likes. After meeting Mr. Li yesterday, he finally got a clue about what he asked himself to inquire about all these years. However, the other party doesn't seem to believe him very much. , or believe it, but they don't care about this relative who ran out halfway.
That Mr. Li does look a bit like Yanzhi's mother, and after he mentioned the Hongzhou Wang family yesterday, the surprised expression of that young master also showed that he should be the person Yanzhi was looking for. No, at least I know the inside story.
He was very excited at the time, thinking that Yan Zhi knew how happy he was to know about this, so he directly asked the young man surnamed Li. Unexpectedly, the effect would be bad if he was too eager, especially the young man surnamed Xiao son, keep an eye on him
He left his room number for those two people, but after waiting for half the night, no one came. He will leave here and return to Xiangzhou tomorrow, alas...
In the midst of anxiety and helplessness, there was a knock on the door of the room, he jumped in a daze, and when he heard the voice of Mr. Li, he immediately ran over joyfully.
Opening the door, it was indeed them standing outside.
"Mr. Qin, excuse me, can I talk to you about what you said tonight?"
"Of course! Come in, both of you!"
Qin Feng saw that Mr. Li's expression and knew that going back this time should give Yan Zhi a surprise.
Two quarters of an hour later, Qin Feng sent Feng Ye and Xiao Yuanhe out with a smile on his face, already impatient to go home.
Feng Ye felt a little baffled by his excitement, but he didn't say anything, went to the restaurant opposite with Xiao Yuanhe for supper and went back to his room to rest.
At dawn the next day, they got up early, drove the carriage to Chint Bank to pick up Xiao Yuanhe's things, and bought a lot of wine, cakes, fruits and other food in the shops that had opened in the city, and then went out of the city for a walk On the way home.
The weather was very good that day, the sun came out not long after leaving the city, Feng Ye sat by the car window and lifted the curtain to look outside, thinking that if he was riding a horse, it would be more like an outing.
After arriving in Huai'an County, Feng Ye deliberately asked Lao Liu to go into the city, bought a few catties of the snacks that he ate last time, bought lunch in the city, and then contentedly slept on the swinging carriage.
60 Recognition
Feng Ye and Xiao Yuanhe returned to Butterfly Mountain Village, before the carriage arrived at the door, they heard Xiao Xing'er's excited voice shouting: "Brother, Brother Xiao! Brother, you are back!"
Feng Ye opened the curtain of the car, and saw the child galloping towards him with his hands waving and his short legs. The rabbit fur of the hat on his head fluttered like a piece of short water weed in the wind.
"Brother, brother, you're back!" The child hugged Feng Ye who got out of the car, and complained aggrievedly, frowning.
Qing Shan who followed behind said: "Young master, young master, you can be considered to be back. The young master has been waiting for you at the door after eating these two days. Reasonable, even Uncle Qing can't persuade him!"
Feng Ye picked up the child, rubbed his face and rubbed his face, it was really cold, this child is really... well, looking at his pitiful appearance, but he is reluctant to say him, Feng Ye can only let Qing Shan go back to build a stove , Xiao Yuanhe's hands and feet were cold after driving back from the county seat. Even if there is sun in this winter, the mountain wind is still very cold.
"My lord, the brazier has already been lit in the house, you guys go in quickly, I will drive the carriage into the yard, and look at the young master's huge pile of boxes and cages."
"Come in quickly! I'll move things, you two are tired after driving for a long time, sit and rest." Mu Qing who came out of the house after hearing the sound also said.
"Yeah." Feng Ye carried the child into the main room, the brazier inside was burning red charcoal, and there were a few sweet potatoes half buried in the charcoal beside the brazier, and the room was warmly filled with the scent of roasted sweet potatoes. Burnt aroma.
"Okay, Xing'er is good, don't be angry, isn't my brother back? Look" pointing to the boxes and packages that Qing Shan and Mu Qing moved out of the car, "My brother also bought a lot of fun for Xing'er." Yes, delicious food, stop pouting Xing'er, look, you can hang an oil bottle and tie a cow rope."
"Brother hates it! Brother is bad! After going for so long, Xing'er is tired and cold after waiting, and my brother still hasn't come back! From now on, brother is not allowed to lose Xing'er and run away, and Xing'er will follow him wherever he goes!"
"Yes yes yes, brother hates it, brother is bad, we Xing'er are tired and cold, brother should slap. Now, one slap, two slaps," Feng Ye smiled and grabbed the awkward child's hand and slapped it on his face Take a shot, "Xing'er hit me too, so don't be angry, brother sleeps with Xing'er tonight, and apologize to Xing'er, eh? Okay, just smile! Haha, that's right, brother hurts the most Xing'er is gone, how could I lose Xing'er and run away!"
Alas, it seems that it is not good to raise a child too lively. It is not easy to coax the troubled child into a smile by seeing him cede the land and pay compensation. Now he finally understands that his parents raised him in the previous life suffering.Fortunately, he is going to marry a man in this life, and he will not be able to have children. Otherwise, if he raises a son in the future, his good days will probably come to an end.
Feng Ye sat in the carriage for nearly a day, and went to bed early at night. Fortunately, Xing'er, who slept with him, was probably very tired today, so Feng Ye didn't have to doze off to coax the child. He held a small natural stove in his arms. Sleep till dawn.
After talking with Xiao Xing'er under the quilt for a while, Feng Ye slowly got up and ate sweet potato porridge that was so rotten and sweet, Feng Ye began to sort out the things brought back from Anzhou, and gave them to Gao Da Gifts from her natal family, Zhang Carpenter's family, Changsheng's family, and some elders in the clan were sent out one by one, using the words that Xiao Yuanhe gave small gifts to each family.After returning from the old aunt's house, Feng Ye couldn't help laughing when he thought of the sentence "Xiaotong's daughter-in-law is filial and sensible" that his uncle and uncle said with a smile all over his face.
In the next two days, the weather suddenly turned very cold, and it was drizzling every day. The north wind blew the paper pasted on the doors and windows "bubu" muffled. .
In fact, the current temperature is at most three or four degrees. There is no such thing as minus or minus at all, but it is also extremely cold here. Whenever such weather occurs, one needs to warm up by a fire. Anyway, there are a lot of charcoal and firewood. yes.
Feng Ye is also very intolerable to the cold. He was a southerner in his previous life. The coldest place he has been to for more than 20 years is when he was in college. In the southwest, he saw snow in winter, but there was heating in the school at that time. , He couldn't catch the cold.This life is also a southerner, but it may be due to staying in the mountain village. He feels that it is very cold in winter, even colder than going outside when it snowed in his previous life.Of course, the most likely thing is that his physique is indeed very bad. He didn't forget that when he first came here, he was much thinner and yellow than his peers. Aunt Gao also said that he was often sick when he was a child.
Therefore, Xiao Yuanhe's previous furs and fur cloaks that he just brought back from Anzhou were put to use by Feng Ye.
Two days later, the drizzle finally stopped. Although the sky was still gloomy and windy, it was much better than the wetness of the previous few days, and people were visibly happier.
On this afternoon, Feng Ye rolled on the couch in the living room like a little white mouse, playing jigsaw puzzles with Xing'er, while Xiao Yuanhe and Mu Qing were sitting by the fireplace reading a book and drinking tea. Calling voice.
Feng Ye ignored it and continued playing with the children. After a while, Mu Qing led Li Shangqiao in.
This young man had a good time with Chang Sheng, he is a young man who treats people sincerely and lives a prudent life, Feng Ye has a good impression of him, when he saw him enter the room and looked at Xiao Yuanhe and himself as if at a loss, he greeted him with a smile: " Brother Shangqiao, please sit down and drink a cup of hot tea to warm your hands."
"No, no, I'm just here to show someone the way, so I'll be leaving soon." The young man scratched his head and waved his hands in embarrassment.
lead the way?
Feng Ye looked at Mu Qing suspiciously, and Mu Qing also looked puzzled: "A carriage came outside, said to be your cousin, and I haven't heard you mention it, so no one has come in yet..."
"Yes, yes, those two young masters said they were looking for you, so I brought him here, and he is outside the door now." Li Shangqiao also responded with a silly smile.
oh?A stranger who came to look for a cousin, could it be—
Feng Ye didn't expect Qin Feng to come so quickly. After talking with Qin Feng in Anzhou that day, he had almost confirmed that the mother of the friend Qin Feng mentioned was his mother's lost sister. Find another time to go to Xiangzhou to visit in person, unexpectedly the other party came here so soon.
There was also a young son who came with Qin Feng. His face was three points similar to Feng Ye's. Although he was one year younger than Feng Ye, Feng Ye looked younger.
It seems that the appearance of both of them is more inherited from their respective mothers, and Feng Ye thought, his mother and sisters don't know how similar they are.
Welcoming the guests into the room, Feng Ye also forgot to say hello, and stared at Hua Yanzhi and fell into deep thought, until Xiao Yuanhe secretly pinched his elbow by the side, and when he came back to his senses, he saw There was unhappiness hidden in Xiao Yuanhe's eyes.
After getting along for a long time, Feng Ye has almost grasped Xiao Yuanhe's temper, knowing that he stared at Hua Yanzhi too much, making him jealous.
Feng Ye squeezed his hand under the cover of his sleeve, and slid his fingertips lightly across his palm, and saw the happy spark in his eyes, and smiled enthusiastically at Qin Feng and Hua Yanzhi.This man, in fact, is really domineering and unreasonable sometimes, but fortunately, only occasionally.
"Li...Feng Ye, my mother and I have been very excited after learning about this incident from Brother Qin. It rained for a few days, and I rushed over as soon as the rain stopped. My mother wanted to come too, but my mother is not healthy. It's not very good, it's too cold to go out, so I didn't let her come with me... This is a token that my mother asked me to bring. "Scholarly family" Hua Yanzhi excitedly took out a handkerchief bag from his arms The thing she was wearing was opened, and inside was a hairpin made of brass and a beautifully braided wrist rope. The hairpin was carved into the shape of a butterfly flying, and a rough bead was worn on the wrist rope. The rope has turned white. The original color is gone.
"My mother said that these two things were given to them by my grandpa and grandma as birthday presents. The hairpin was ordered by my grandpa in the shop, the wrist rope was woven by my grandma, and the beads on this rope were the only ones my grandma had from me. It was removed from the jewelry. Because my mother and aunt are twins, each time my grandparents give them something, so these two things are also available at my aunt's."
Feng Ye understood what he meant. He remembered that there was a brass hairpin in the collection of old things at home. When he built a new house and packed things, he thought that maybe it was left behind by his ancestors, so he didn't throw it away. Now I don't know where it was stored.
"Feng Ye, when I cleaned up the house last time, I found an old box from the cabinet in the main room. I saw that there were some old things in it. Didn't you say that it was an old box left by the family? Something? I put it under the bed in your room, you can go and see if there is any." Mu Qing was obedient, looking at these two things, he knew that something that could be used as a token of the older generation in Feng Ye's hand was still worth it. It should be in that box too.
Feng Ye hurriedly ran to the next bedroom, dragged out the dilapidated wooden box from under the bed, opened it, and inside was a pillow made of bamboo strips, a pair of smooth stones, a weaving shuttle, a small The tulle wrapped in the shuttle wheel to weave the fish pocket, a wooden one-wheeled toy pony carriage...all look a little commemorative old things.
Feng Ye turned out a rusty brass hairpin from the bottom. The butterflies on the hairpin all turned green, but it could still be seen that it was exactly the same as the shiny one in Hua Yanzhi's hand. It came out of a mold.Flipping through it again, I found a wrist rope tied on it as a button from a small hydrangea that had changed color.
Comparing the two sides, Hua Yanzhi knew that Feng Ye must be the son of his sister whom his mother had been looking for for many years. Now, his mother's long-cherished wish for many years could finally come true.

Be a guest
When Feng Ye opened his eyes, he was in a daze for a moment. He turned his head and looked through the bed curtain. The bright sunlight shined on the ground through the window paper, and he felt that there was a brilliant warmth in the room.
Little Xing'er curled up in a ball on his chest and slept soundly, with one calf across his waist, two little paws still clutching his shirt tightly, the child's little head was buried in the quilt, breathing The sound could be heard clearly, his face was red from sleep, and his cute appearance was as cute as a little bird that had just hatched.
This child, it seemed that he was too excited yesterday, he didn't sleep until the middle of the night with the adults, and now he didn't wake up when the sun was shining on his butt, he usually got up early.
Feng Ye lifted the quilt a little, straightened the child's messy sleeping hair, turned over carefully and moved his neck.This hard pillow is really not as soft and comfortable as my own home cotton filling, and my neck is stiff after sleeping all night.
Seeing that the sun is out now, it shouldn’t be too early. After all, I’m a guest at someone’s house. It’s too late for Feng Ye to get up too late. I moved my body carefully to get up and get dressed. Just as I was pulling my hair, there was a ringing sound outside the door. The little maid said softly: "Has the young master woke up?"
Feng Ye let out a "hmm" and went to open the door. Two little maids were waiting outside the door with a smile on their hands, and when they saw Feng Ye opened the door, they bowed their heads and blessed their bodies. "Morning son!"
"Mmm, good morning." Feng Ye still can't get used to this kind of respect. At home, he does everything by himself, at most, it's just Mu Qing and Xiao Yuanhe helping to bring hot water. How has he ever been served by someone so respectful? Pass!
"My lord, breakfast is ready. Madame asks if you want to use it in your room or in the front hall?" asked the older maid.
"Go to the front hall, I'll be there in a while."
"Yes." The two little maids closed the door and left. After Feng Ye finished washing, she heard Xing'er's soft voice.
"elder brother……"
Following the little body on the bed, the quilt was arched, revealing the small head, fisting his hands and rubbing his eyes, Feng Ye was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he hurried over to put on clothes, shoes and socks for him, combed his hair, and held him in his arms After wiping his hands, face and neck, and letting him rinse his mouth with warm salt water, the child gradually woke up.
"Good morning, brother!" The sober child squinted his eyebrows and kissed Feng Ye's cheek.
"Good morning, little Xinger!" Feng Ye also hugged the child and kissed him on both cheeks, rubbing his cheeks, "Okay, my brother and I are getting up early, let's go have breakfast, auntie should be in a hurry .”
"okay!"
The brothers went out to the front hall.
This is Hua Yanzhi's home in Xiangzhou City, that is, Feng Ye's aunt's home. Yesterday, Feng Ye and Xiao Yuanhe brought Xing'er to visit Hua Yanzhi and Qin Feng. Feng Ye didn't want to come in such a hurry. , but Hua Yanzhi said that his mother must be anxiously waiting for him to go at home (mainly because Hua Yanzhi promised to bring Feng Ye home in order to persuade his mother not to go to Dieshan Village, Wu County) Xiangzhou, Feng Ye After thinking about it, anyway, I really have nothing to do at home, so let's hurry, anyway, I'm mentally prepared.
So, after Hua Yanzhi and Qin Feng stayed at Feng Ye's house for a day, Feng Ye decided to come to Xiangzhou (of course, this also has to ignore the strong instigation of Xiao Xing'er and Qing Shan, the two children were very sorry that they couldn't go to Anzhou with them last time) City quite mind).
They set off early yesterday morning and arrived at Xiangzhou Huayanzhi's house just after noon. Huayanzhi's mother and Fengye's aunt Mrs. Xiao was very excited when she saw Fengye. She tugged, crying and laughing for a while, and after dinner, she babbled with the old man for a long time, and it was very late at night when Hua Yanzhi and Feng Ye persuaded the old man to be able to Go to bed and rest.
Mrs. Hua escaped the flood with her parents in the early years. The queen mother took her sister and the prince hugged him. She had already escaped from the flood. The family of four followed a small caravan to the nearest Meiling County. Knowing that they had encountered robbers, the family of four lost their lives in a panic.
Father Wang took Mrs. Hua to Xiangzhou along with other refugees. The father and daughter did not have much money. I rented a small house in a large courtyard in the slums of Li. One worked as a coolie, and the other made a living by washing, sewing, mending, and selling embroidery.
Father Wang was originally a strong farmer who was used to hard work, but he was just a countryman who was bullied when he first arrived. Coupled with the hard work day and night, and missing his wife and children, he didn't survive for a few years. , the prince passed away, and his dying wish was to find his wife and eldest daughter, hoping that he could be buried with his wife and returned to his hometown of Hongzhou after his death.
Poor Mrs. Wang, a young and unaccompanied weak woman, suffered even more in such a situation. Fortunately, she met a kind-hearted little grocery merchant and took her in to work at her own house. Father Hua Yunfeng.
Hua Yunfeng was also an adopted orphan before. His adoptive parents kicked him out of the house after giving birth to his own child, but he relied on his own efforts to start from scratch and opened his own shop step by step.Later, he married Mrs. Hua, and worked together for more than ten years to earn a considerable fortune.
When life got better, Mrs. Hua wanted to find her mother and sister. She had been looking for her mother and sister continuously for more than ten years. Unfortunately, almost all the people who fled together died, and the rest disappeared. From the time of fleeing to Mrs. Hua, she sent people to search , it has been six or seven years later, and the people who were close to me at the beginning are all separated and unfamiliar.
Coincidentally, when Feng Ye's parents returned to the countryside of Hongzhou, those who were the first to return to their hometowns either died or moved away soon after. The old neighbors who moved back one after another after Ye's parents passed away happened to be on the opposite side of Feng Ye's parents.So there has been no progress in this matter for more than ten years. During this period, I have met a few people who came to recognize their relatives, but they were all liars who wanted to scam money. After coming and going, Mrs. Hua felt even more confused and sad.
Two years ago, Hua Yanzhi's father, Hua Yunfeng, also died of illness. Mrs. Hua suffered too much in her early years, and her health has deteriorated in the past two years. She misses her mother and sister who were separated when she was young. Muttering.Hua Yanzhi and Qin Feng entrusted people to increase the scope and strength of their search, but they still failed. Unexpectedly, this time Qin Feng went to Anzhou City and found Feng Ye by accident.
Although the death of her mother and sister made Mrs. Hua feel very sad, but she finally found the trace of her relatives. The close relatives can be reunited, and the old parents in the underground can rest in peace. After losing a few relatives, Mrs. Hua is very sad about Feng Ye who lost her parents since childhood. My nephew really wanted to enclose him under his knee forever and love him.
"Auntie, I kept you waiting." As soon as Feng Ye stepped into the front hall with Xing'er in his arms, he saw Mrs. Hua wearing a big cloak and a blanket on her legs, sitting in a big armchair chatting with Xiao Yuanhe. He opened his mouth to make Mrs. Hua very happy.
Mrs. Hua is also a responsible and knowledgeable woman (otherwise she wouldn't be able to help Mr. Hua earn such a large fortune), she was only slightly taken aback by the matter of Feng Ye marrying a man, then laughed and joked that their cousins are temperamental Like, to marry a wife is to choose a capable man, and make everyone in the room laugh.
A brazier was burned in the hall, and on the round table in the middle were several kinds of
