It seems that I am still too full [travel]

When the handle of the Big Dipper in the sky points to Yi, the Qingming breeze arrives, which is a good time to enjoy the scenery in late spring.Compared with the slightly steep early spring, Xie Shi prefers the time when the spring is deep and the sun is warm. At this time, the Longfeng Mountain is full of willow green from the rice paddies to the mountains, and catkins and poplar flowers are flying in the wind.

Xie Shi and Han Ji planted new willows in front of and behind Xie's mansion together. One of them wore a black shirt and the other a green shirt, and they both wore willow branches.During the Qingming Festival, men wear willows all over their bodies, and women wear willow hairpins on their heads in order to drive away plague ghosts.

In addition, on this day, people have to plant willows on the door and hang willows under the eaves. Shi Shi followed suit and seemed to be enjoying it. Wang Jia, who was far behind the two, and another old colleague looked at each other, and they both saw puzzlement in each other's eyes.

After the willow tree was planted, Xie Shi patted the small willow tree in front of him, which was not as tall as him. Suddenly, he had a whim, and said to the people around him: "Why don't we make some marks on this tree? This way, when we are old, we can recognize what is in this place. The tree was planted by the two of us." There were willow trees picked by other people around, so Xie Shi said this.

Regarding some of Xie Shi's naive ideas, Han Ji was never vague. When he even asked his attendant to take a wooden plaque and wanted to engrave words, Han Ji asked him, "What do you want to engrave?"

Xie Shi thought about it, and said: "Just engrave 'Zhizheng 12th year late spring, Xie Tanwei and Han Xisheng planted this new willow.'"

In just [-] characters, Han Ji quickly carved it with a dagger. Xie Shi took it over and looked at it. It was a dignified, powerful regular script.The marked wooden sign was thanked by wearing a rope and hanging on the branch with his own hands. The childish Xie Shi nodded in satisfaction, and then the two left together.

"The Zhuangzi picked some willow buds that just came out. After we went back, we used willow buds and noodle rolls to eat. I heard from Mr. Qin that picking willow buds and putting them into tea soup, the tea soup is fragrant and delicious, can prolong life. We will also eat it when we go back. Use Longfengtuan tea to drink."

"Okay, I'll make tea soup."

The two voices gradually faded away, only the new willow planted by the two swayed slightly in the east wind.A few years later, when all the people were reduced to a handful of loess, the willows planted by the two of them and the wooden plaques engraved with their names were carefully guarded by future generations and passed down forever. They were called "Xiwei Yuliu" in history. Some friendships that cannot be clearly stated in history books.

------------

The next day, with light rain and sparrows flying over the city at low altitude, Xie Shi and Xie Ju, father and son, each carried a sacrifice and the other held a paper umbrella, and went to the suburbs to visit Wang's grave.This time, Xie Ju did not hide his respect for the Wang family anymore. As soon as he put down the food basket, he half-kneeled and began to clean up the weeds exposed in spring in front of the grave, and took out a sackcloth to gently wipe the tombstone.When thanking, he took out yellow paper and candlelight to arrange.At this time, the drizzle had stopped, and there was still humidity in the air, and the smoke from the lit incense was particularly heavy, but the father and son didn't care.

Xie Shi saw that there were few weeds around and there were traces of burning candles. It should be that someone has come to pay respects recently, so he asked casually: "Did you come to pay respects to my mother recently?"

Xie Ju nodded, "The Xie family has found such a big thing, I have to come and report to Madam, and I also ask Madam and the master to be in the spirit of heaven, to bless you, Brother Shi, to be safe, and not to be harmed by Xie Yong's family."

Xie Shi looked at the tombstone amidst the white smoke, and suddenly recalled his indifferent and selfish parents in his previous life, and asked curiously, "What kind of people are my mother and father?"

"Sanlang became famous at a young age, amazingly talented, although he is the eldest son of the family, his status is noble, but he is very kind. He treats his fathers with respect and kindness, and he treats those concubine brothers with kindness. That's why he was murdered by Xie Yong in the end. Third Madam She is a rare and strange woman in the world..."

Xie Ju recalled 20 years ago and sighed, "At that time, my wife led us to flee. After Xie Yong heard about it, he sent people to chase and kill them in order to eradicate the grass. They were ruthless and chased after them. , more than half of it was lost, and the wife was pregnant with Liujia at the time and might give birth at any time.

In such a crisis, my wife was calm and decisive, and immediately ordered us to change our destination and take a small road to the south.Later, when passing through a village, his wife gave birth prematurely, so she had to spend the night in a farmer's house in the village to give birth, and she was not born until midnight. Xie Ju recalled that night, and his heart still palpitates, "When brother Shi was born, there was an earthquake, which frightened our group. Fortunately, the earthquake passed quickly. "

When he looked at Xie, he sighed and said, "Brother Shi, you used to be weak. In addition to that villain Xie Yong poisoning Madam's food, Madam was also frightened and tired during the long journey when she was pregnant with you. Our group except Madam's maids are all warriors, but they are far less strong than Madam, she told us at that time, brother, you were born with such a big commotion, you must be a big shot in the future, it seems Madam has the foresight."

Xie Ju's words made Xie Shi suddenly think of those inexplicable words he "heard" before crossing. According to those "people", he was born on the most ominous day, and he was born at the time when the devil was in the middle of the night. The plane of the heavens and the world is unstable, and he exchanged souls with Lan Xing's Xie Shi accidentally, and it is only then that he has lived in the modern plane for more than [-] years.

Xie Shi asked again: "My mother was going to my grandparents' house, right? I wonder if there are still people in my grandparents' house?" Not only was there a kinship relationship, but his mother was different from the unscrupulous parents in modern times. A great mother, it can be said that she gave birth to Xie Shi desperately. Although Xie Shi was never raised by him for various reasons, she also accepted this feeling, and even had a natural love for the maternal ancestors who raised her now. Good impression.

However, when mentioning Xie Shi's maternal ancestral home, Xie Ju showed hesitation and stammered, "Brother Shi, your ancestral family has some disagreements with your wife. The reason why your wife changed her residence so decisively back then was actually because she didn't trust her natal family. man of."

Xie Shi's mother, Mrs. Wang, was born in a small family. When Xie Shi's father, Xie Sanlang, met Mrs. Wang when he was studying abroad, he fell in love with Mrs. Wang at first sight.Xie Sanlang only did two extraordinary things in his life that went against his father's wishes. One was to refuse the imperial court's call, and the other was to ask to marry Wang.

The Wang family saw that Xie Sanlang was from the Xie family of Chen County, and regardless of their daughter's face, they asked the Xie family for a sky-high price dowry as if they were selling their daughters. If it weren't for the fact that no one in the Xie family was an official in the court at that time, they might have to find a wife for the only male in the family. Only half-officials are willing to do so.Although Xie Sanlang was willing, this marriage made Wang's family completely disappointed in the end, not to mention how distressed her mother's family would come to her house from time to time afterwards.

"When I first came here, Madam and I kept our names incognito, but we still inquired about the Xie family in Chenjun and Madam's natal Wang's family from time to time, but I didn't expect to hear later that Xie's family went to report the funeral, and Wang's family was cheating a lot. It took a sum of money to stop, this matter caused a lot of trouble, many people watched the Wang family's jokes, and praised the family's benevolence, but it gave the person who caused the trouble a good reputation. Madam has never mentioned her mother's family since then."

Xie Shi sighed in his heart, it seems that his mother was the same as his previous life, his parents were not related, "Since that's the case, if my mother doesn't recognize it, I will also treat it as if I don't have this grandparent's family."

Xie Ju thought so in his heart, but he couldn't say it outright, the Wang family was just like the Xie family, they were not good people, he was worried that Shi Ge'er, a child longing for relatives, would be hurt in the end.Hearing his expression at this time, he was relieved.

Qingming is a season suitable for parting. At the end of spring, Xie Shi and others bid farewell to the fleet of the Han family and the Shen family who were about to set sail after rendezvous at the dock of Changle Port.The fleet is mighty, with sails covering the sky and the sun. There are hundreds of ships, all of which are tall and large ships. The small ones are two-story ships, and the larger ones are as high as five stories. Ships, large ships and even small boats, filled the entire water surface.

Xie Shi couldn't help but sigh, the scale is so large, I'm afraid it's only slightly inferior to Zheng He's voyages to the West, but Zheng He's voyages to the West coincided with the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, and they were supported by the king of a country, while the Han family and the Shen family alone went to sea, it was very difficult. With this scale, it is conceivable that the Han family and the Shen family are as rich as an enemy.

Seeing this, Cen Yu explained to him in a low voice: "The fleet originally only had dozens of ships. After all, the Lord is still fighting everywhere, burning money all the time, and we have to keep some warships for waterproofing, but Didn't you discover the mine in Le County? After I asked my master, I bought a lot of old ships from Quanzhou and Hangzhou, and made up such a fleet, enough for a queue, right?"

It was rare for Xie Shi not to argue with him, and nodded, "It's truly magnificent and grand, but it's a pity that I can't record the scene at this moment with a camera for later generations to watch this grand scene."

Cen Yu snapped his fan away, Xie Shi's idea completely hit Cen Yu's vanity, he said excitedly: "You should be more thoughtful in Tanwei, why don't you record such a great achievement, so that future generations will remember it What about our achievements, Panda, hurry up and prepare pens and paper, we thank you all for drawing."

Xie Shi couldn't laugh or cry, when did he say that he wanted to paint?

"How can I paint? Go find a painter."

"This is in the wilderness, where did the painter come from? It's too late to go to the city to invite him now," Cen Yu complimented him: "Besides, why don't you know how to paint? Your picture of wintersweet is still hung on the wall of Fuzhou's study by the master." Come on, it can be seen that the Lord also thinks that your painting skills are quite good."

When Xie Shi heard about this, his ears turned red with embarrassment. I don't know how many masters and scholars came in and out of the study, and everyone could "appreciate" his clumsy works. This is no different from public execution!If Han Ji hadn't returned to Fuzhou by now, he would definitely have scolded him.

Xie Shi, who was ashamed and sweet in his heart, was driven to the shelves in a daze. Facing the paper and pen brought by Cen Yu, he had no choice but to hurry up and paint, fearing that it would be too late to ask Han Ning to help. According to the evaluation of the people at the time, this painting was weird and not enough It is top grade, but it is a precious treasure for future generations. In this painting, Gein, Xie Shi and Han Ning faithfully restored the grand scene of going to sea for the first time in the great epic "Discovering the New World".

This was just a small episode, and soon, the wind picked up on the sea, and the mighty voyage fleet set off, and drifted south with the help of the sea wind.Xie Shi, Cen Yu and the others raised their eyes and prayed for the great pioneers of the new world with aspirations in their hearts, looking forward to their return, and they did not return until the last ship disappeared from sight.
