Qinghe Pastoral

At the end of May, the sun is getting warmer and the days are getting longer, and the Bai family's house that has been planned for a long time is also ready to break ground.

Bai Junyan was born into a wealthy family, and since he decided to stay in Qinghe Village in the future, it is natural that this house will be built in one go.

The Wang family in Jing'an County built houses for wealthy families. They provided everything from the layout to the materials. Although the price was a bit more expensive, they had a good reputation. After negotiating the price, Bai Junyan didn't have to worry too much.

He also invited a well-known geomancer in the county to avoid taboos, choose auspicious days, worship the gods, and start construction.

Although Ji Ruixiu said that it was the lotus pond that his family planned to build at that time, the area is really not small, and it is enough to build a house with three entrances and two courtyards.

The Wang family sent twelve men with good workmanship almost every day. Even so, it took a month after the house was built, and it took a lot of work to add various objects. It was already a long time since the Wang family left. It's mid-July.

The Dayu dynasty had very strict management of household registration. After returning from Dongzhou, Bai Junyan asked Li Zheng to go to the county to register his household registration in Qinghe Village, and he will be a member of Qinghe Village from now on.

Generally, when a new house is built, the villagers will be invited to a banquet. The construction of Bai Junyan's house is so great, and he will live in Qinghe Village in the future. People have a good meal.

According to Mr. Feng Shui, the eighth day of the eighth month is an excellent day, and thinking that July is the busiest time in the village, he decided to move in on that day.

Lin Mu's younger brother who died early had no name and no name. After thinking about it again and again, Bai Junyan gave him a name, surnamed Bai, and called him Wuyou, hoping that he would be carefree in the next life.

Previously, they planned to do a ceremony for Bai Junyu and Bai Wangyou, but because they had little free time since March and April, they kept delaying it.Now, all the Qiyan fruit flowers have been processed, and the Bai family's house has been built, so they went to Huazhou to invite the master in person as planned.

This time, Lin Mu and his party took the waterway, but they set foot on the land of Huazhou on the third day.

Xiao Jue had received Ji Ruixiu's letter, and had already asked his servants to wait in the port in a carriage. He was busy with many things recently, so he had no time to come here in person.

Huazhou in the hot summer season has a different taste, it seems to be a little more lively than in winter, and a little less tactful, but what cannot be ignored is that its weather is several times hotter than that of Qinghe Village.

It took less than an hour from the pier to Xiao's house, and he didn't take a step, but when he got out of the car, Lin Mu was already sweating profusely. At this time, if there was a clear spring, he really wanted to jump into it.

Xiao Jue was not in the mansion at this time, and under the guidance of his servants, the three of them went to pay a visit to Mr. Xiao. They hadn't seen each other for more than a year. Mr. Xiao was still in high spirits, no different from last year.

"You guys are finally here, come here, I just prepared iced drinks, look at Brother Mu is sweating profusely, don't get heatstroke."

When I saw old man Lin Muxiao last year, I fell in love with him, perhaps because of Ji Ruixiu, or maybe because of his resemblance to Bai Junyan.

At the beginning, although he marveled at the similarity between the two, but because he knew that Bai Junyan had no relatives left behind, and he didn't think about it, who would have thought that the fate would go around in such a way that the two turned out to be uncles and nephews.

From Xiao Jue's mouth, he already knew what happened to the two of them. Even though he lived most of his life, he still had to lament the impermanence of the world and the reincarnation of cause and effect. Fortunately, it was an acceptable ending.

The heat in Huazhou is unbearable in the midsummer season, but everyone with some family background will prepare some ice. All kinds of iced drinks and frozen melons and fruits are standing items in the midsummer season.

Lin Mu used a few slices of cool and sweet watermelon, only to feel that the heat that made his head swell a little, and the room was cool, but he didn't feel as uncomfortable as before.

"I heard from Xiao Jue that you are here for Master Duhua?"

"Exactly, now that the ancestral graves have been moved to Qinghe Village, and the ancestral hall has been rebuilt and opened. Both my sister and nephew died unjustly, and I want to do a ritual to save them, so that they can reincarnate with peace of mind."

"This is a good thing, but there are countless people who come here every year for Master Duhua. Master Duhua has profound Taoism, and it is even rumored that he can spy on some secrets. Get what you want."

"Do your best and obey the destiny. It's always a pity not to come."

Hearing what Bai Junyan said, Mr. Xiao also felt that it made sense, so he stopped entangled in this matter and chatted with a few people about other matters.

Half an hour later, Yu Zi, who heard the news, hurried over with his four-year-old daughter in his arms.

Yu Ziyi's wife is very beautiful, soft and gentle, like the water in Huazhou, full of tenderness everywhere.In addition, Yu Zi also has an extraordinary bearing, a handsome face, and was born into a family. Not only is his daughter beautiful and cute, but even a four-year-old child has not lost her manners. She will definitely be a beautiful and generous daughter of a family when she grows up.

The old man is used to taking a nap, so when he saw Zi Yilai, he let a few young people gossip, but he went to the inner room to rest.

"Eat less, if you eat too much, you will have a stomachache."

Seeing that Lin Mu had already eaten seven or eight slices of ice watermelon, Ji Ruixiu stopped Lin Mu's continuing hands.

"Ruixiu is right, you are not used to the heat in Huazhou, and you will feel uncomfortable if you eat too much cold."

Lin Mu was indeed greedy, but he also knew that they were doing it for his own good, so he took back his outstretched hand, which was firmly held by Ji Ruixiu.

"The two elder brothers are the same as their parents."

Yu Ziyi and his wife are very affectionate, and Yu Ziyi is also considered to be born in a family. Apart from his wife, there is no half concubine in his family. This makes many famous women in Huazhou envious.

Children are pure-minded, they are what they see in their eyes, and they don't hesitate to say nothing.

"Xuanxuan is still urinating like this. It can be seen that you and your sister-in-law are not less intimate on weekdays."

Bai Junyan and Yu Ziyi are brotherly friends who have passed their lives, and their relationship is very strong. Bai Junyan usually doesn't like to joke, but he has nothing to say in front of Yu Ziyi.

"It's such a joy to meet your true love in life, so naturally you don't have to hide it. After all, in three months, your nephew is going to get married. Now that you've settled down, you should find a confidant. "

Yu Zi also knew about Bai Junyan and Yan Bai's affairs, but Bai Junyan was a decisive person, and the two separated. Even though they were hurt and hurt in the past, after so many years, they should be healed.

"That's what I said too. However, if my uncle doesn't take the initiative, Qinghe Village will be a one-acre and three-quarters of an acre in the future. I'm afraid there will be no one to look up to."

"You and Ruixiu can meet across thousands of miles. It can be seen that the marriage is destined to be true. Naturally, I also want to find a beloved person. If I hold the red thread, I will meet. There is no need to worry."

Bai Junyan's words are indeed true. Thousands of chances made it inevitable for the two to meet. It can be seen that there are some things that do not need to be rushed.

Xiao's food is not worse than the best restaurants in Huazhou. Mr. Xiao ordered someone to prepare a table of rich food, and even Yu Zi returned to Yu's house after dinner.

There are twelve counties in Huazhou, and Xiao Jue’s business is spread all over Huazhou. A few days ago, there was a problem with the business in Shangyang County. When I rushed back, it was already midnight when I got home, and it was the next day when we saw each other again.

After a night's rest, both Lin Mu and Xiao Jue had washed off their exhaustion, and they were all in high spirits when they met.

"I didn't bother you when I came back late last night. Is Mu'er still used to the land and sea this time?"

There are many people who can't get used to traveling by land and sea for several days in a row. If they get seasick, they will be surrounded by sea on all sides, and it will be difficult and troublesome.

"It's pretty good, and I saw a lot of sea creatures jumping up, which is really strange."

The sea is a more mysterious place. People may be able to go to the deep mountains and old forests, but they can't go to the bottom of the sea to find out. This time, Lin Mu didn't feel uncomfortable when he encountered many sea creatures that he had never seen before, but he was very interested.

"That's all right, otherwise it's a hell of a thing to be on board."

While they were chatting, the maidservant of Xiao's family put delicious food on the table, but there were more than ten kinds of food for breakfast, which filled the table.

Thinking about going to the temple, the few people stopped chatting and started their own breakfast.

The "Jingguo Temple" in Huazhou is located in Wen'an County, which is the closest to Huazhou. It takes about an hour to drive from the city by horse-drawn carriage.

The temple is built on the largest "Wangxian Mountain" in Huazhou. This mountain is lush with trees and shrouded in clouds and mist all the year round, so Wangxian got its name.

"Jingguo Temple" is not only the largest temple in Huazhou, but also very famous in the Dayu Dynasty, and Master Duhua is even more famous all over the world. Every year, countless pilgrims come to admire his name.

This master Duhua is over a hundred years old, and it is even rumored that he can see through the secrets of heaven, but he only divination for those who are destined, and the rest, even today's emperor, cannot order it. Because of this, his reputation is getting bigger and bigger.

"Jingguo Temple" is built on the mountainside, and when you reach the foot of the mountain, you have to stop the carriage and walk up the mountain.

The road up the mountain is not smooth, and in addition to the scorching heat of Huazhou in midsummer, even if you wear thin clothes, the heat can't go away. In just a cup of tea, Lin Mu was dizzy from the heat, and his forehead was covered with sweat.He was already afraid of heat, even the heat in Qinghe Village was uncomfortable, let alone Huazhou.

"Tired? Let's take a break before leaving."

Ji Ruixiu took Lin Mu by the hand, saw that he was dripping with sweat and his face was flushed, so he said.

"Tired is not tired, but the weather is really too hot."

Lin Mu sat on the stone steps and kept fanning the wind with his hands. Ji Ruixiu took the bamboo fan in Xiao Jue's hand and fanned Lin Mu. Lin Mu took another two sips of cool mountain spring to feel better.

"The heat is unbearable, and I am most afraid of heat stroke. If it doesn't work, uncle will go up the mountain, and you can rest here."

"I'm fine, let's go."

For the sake of his biological mother and younger brother, Lin Mu was not afraid of the hardship. After resting for a while, he drank a few mouthfuls of cold water, but he was not as dizzy as before.

Everyone has their own obsessions. Although Lin Mu was physically weak when he was young, his temper was not weak. Ji Ruixiu naturally loves him, protects him, and loves him, but he will never treat him as a caged bird. If he wants to fly, let him fly. Fei, he just needs to be behind him to protect him and keep him safe.
