MTL - Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World-Chapter 282 Lost in mind

Jiang's grandsons are older than Gu Jingyun, so when Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu went to Qin's main house to sit down, a white-headed old man in the back led twenty or thirty elderly people, and middle-aged and young people saluted the two of them and shouted. : "I have seen my cousin, my cousin."

   Gu Jingyun nodded with a smile, "Nephews, please get up." Let Erlin send out the prepared greetings one by one.

The group of people exited in an orderly manner, and a middle-aged man led seventy or eighty people into the door. He stood up and stood up. He was less than three years old, and tremblingly climbed the high threshold, following the adults in front of him. With a similar salute, he shouted in a milky voice, "I have seen my cousin, my uncle and my grandmother."

  Li Baolu's heart twitched, and she said softly, "Okay, okay, okay, good kid, get up, kids."

  The young and middle-aged people salute:  …

A smile flashed in Gu Jingyun's eyes. When the group retreated, a young man led a dozen or so children up. The servants hurriedly took out the futon. Great-grandmother."

   "Get up, get up," Li Baolu grabbed a meat-round dumpling and couldn't help rubbing his cheeks and said, "I feel so bad for my great-grandmother."

Rao, the well-informed Jiang Shi couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyes, freeing the child from her hands, and said with a smile, "If your younger brother and sister like a child, hurry up and give birth to one, and then let my cousin teach them well, maybe they will come out again. A champion, then a father and son double champion will be a good name."

  Li Baolu bowed her head and smiled shyly.

   "The rooms are all ready for you," Jiang Shi said with a smile, "I will show you guys. If there is anything you are dissatisfied with, tell my cousin, and my cousin will ask someone to change it for you."

The guest room arranged for Gu Jingyun and the others was in a courtyard to the south of the main house. Gu Jingyun observed all the way and saw that a courtyard in the southwest corner was guarded by servants and women. It was obvious that someone lived there. He couldn't help but stop and ask with a smile, "Sister-in-law Sanbiao, what is this? Is there anyone living in the main house?"

The third cousin said with a smile on her face, "This is where your fifth nephew lives. Ever since your third cousin redeemed the main house from the yamen, it has been vacant, and only the servants can take care of it. Abandoned. We originally wanted to keep it for the ninth uncle's return, but a few years ago, your fifth nephew got married and the house was not enough, so I decided to let him clean up the yard in the southwest corner for him to live in, and wait for our house to be built. Well, let him move back in the new house."

  Gu Jingyun nodded with a smile, "Getting married is a big deal, it really has to be more serious. I will explain it to my aunt and uncle later. The younger generation in the family can use their aunt and uncle's help, and they will be very happy."

   "However," Gu Jingyun changed his words and said, "Although most of the land and houses that were raided back then were redeemed by the clansmen, the accounts that should be settled still need to be settled. We can't let the yamen white take advantage of our clansmen."

Jiang shi nodded with a smile on his face, "Exactly, your third cousin is pedantic and feels that you can't let the state treasury spend any more money and not take advantage of it. Since it is redeemed by oneself, it can be returned internally, and there is no need to go through the yamen again. , but as you said, there are many clansmen involved in this matter, so we can't let the yamen take advantage of it in vain, otherwise the ransom money will be taken advantage of."

  Gu Jingyun nodded, "That's exactly what it means."

   Jiang sent the young couple to the guest house and said goodbye, "You guys rest first, I'll send someone to call you for lunch later."

I ordered two more girls and said, "You came here in a hurry this time, and you didn't even bring a girl with you. It is inconvenient in life. These are the purple shirt and Ziluo next to the cousin. You have a few girls you can use."

Li Baolu declined, "Thank you for the third cousin, but my husband and I won't stay for a long time, and the arranged girl won't take a few days. Why don't I use the purple shirt and Ziluo first, just rob the third cousin, and hope It's better not to blame the third cousin."

   "It's their blessing that you wish to use them, I can't ask for it," Jiang said with a smile: "How can you blame it?"

   Jiang left the two girls behind and left. There were also rough servants and maids who obeyed orders in the courtyard. Li Baolu sent people to the courtyard gate, and only turned around when they were far away.

   Ziluo followed behind Li Baolu, Zishan had already gone to make tea for Gu Jingyun.

   Neither Gu Jingyun nor Li Baolu wanted to live here for a long time, even though the main house was the house of the Qin family, so they only brought two sets of clothes and some daily necessities.

   In the eyes of Yuan Shanting and Su Anjian, it would be too much to prepare all these things after staying for two days, but in the eyes of the Qin family, Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu's luggage were too shabby.

   Ziluo winked at Zishan when she saw the three burdens. The guests had so few things, they had to go to Jiang's to report and get some more things, otherwise, wouldn't they be neglecting the distinguished guests.

  Gu Jingyun drank a cup of tea and stood at the window looking out without saying a word. Li Baolu pestered him and said, "I heard that this main house has been built for hundreds of years. Would you take me to visit?"

   Gu Jingyun said with a smile: "Even for hundreds of years, it needs to be repaired every few years, but it is impossible to see the style of hundreds of years ago."

   "Then I also want to go see it. If there is a fun and beautiful place, you can tell Niuniu after returning to Beijing. This is her home, so how can you not know anything about it?"

  Gu Jingyun asked Ziluo and Zishan to lead the way to visit.

   Ziluo hesitated: "Master Biao, except for the council hall and the large garden, the rest of the main house is locked up..."

   Gu Jingyun said with a smile: "It's okay, we'll just go to the big garden and take a look."

The    council hall is where they sat to accept the greetings from the Qin family just now, so there is no need to go there again.

   Ziluo and Zishan insisted on seeing the distinguished guests, and the big garden is not a secret place, and the masters of the family often go there to play, so they led the way with only a little hesitation.

The large garden is located in the northwest corner, covering a very wide area. They turned from the guest house in the south corner into the main road, walked down two intersections and then turned, facing a moon gate and a hollow wall screen with green trees in the wall. Looking out, it is obviously winter, but it gives people a sense of spring, and the greenery inside can also be seen from the hollowed-out wall.

  When you pass through the Moon Gate, you can see a rockery with emerald peaks and peaks. The rockery with gurgling water pours down, flows through the rockery and falls into the creek at the bottom. After turning around the rockery for half a circle, it goes away.

   Following the sound of the water, I went around the rockery, and my eyes suddenly opened up. Green trees and colorful flowers rushed into my eyes, but I didn’t see any desolation in winter.

Seeing Li Baolu's surprise, Ziluo explained: "Ru Ning's winter is late, and the weather is still warm, so these flowers are all fine. In another twenty days, when it snows, there will be fewer flowers in the big garden. ."

   "That's pretty too," Li Baolu said with a smile: "If you can grow so many colorful flowers in winter, there must be a very capable gardener at home, right?"

The purple shirt and the proud said: "The gardeners in the house are the craftsmanship of generations, which is naturally good, but it also depends on the flower room in the garden, where the temperature is suitable and the flowers and plants can be continuously supplied, so even the flowers in each room in winter are not enough. There will be no less."

   "Oh? Are there any houses in the village?"

  The purple shirt covered his face and smiled, "Of course not, the room I mentioned refers to the masters of our second room, this flower room is now..."

"Purple shirt," Ziluo glared at her secretly and smiled at Li Baolu: "Mrs. Biao doesn't know, this flower house has always been provided by our wife with money, but when there are new flowers in the flower room, we will send some to our relatives, or I invite everyone to come and enjoy it together, and Mrs. Biao can go to the flower room for a while, choose a few pots of flowers that she likes, and put them in the room, and it will be refreshing to watch in winter."

  Li Baolu nodded slightly and did not ask any further questions.

   At this time, Jiang Shi had just returned to her house.

  The ancestral house of the second house is not far from the main house. It only takes a quarter of an hour to get there by car. She got off the carriage and went straight to the main house. Qin Chengyu, who was busy with his mouth, was standing at the window with his hands behind his back.

Jiang shi sent all the servants away, poured him a cup of tea in person, and explained her words and deeds in receiving Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu all the way, and finally sighed: "I will have the fifth man clean up the yard in a while, and strive to be in the Move out before he goes."

  The main house has always been the residence of the Qin family. Back then, they received a letter from Qin Xinfang in advance, knowing that the court might raid the house, so they evacuated the main house's treasury in advance and moved it to the clan's public treasury.

   This is also Qin Xinfang's arrangement.

But in an emergency, there are always many things that can't be moved. Sure enough, the county government came to raid the house within a few days. Fortunately, their Qin family has always been a prominent family in Runing, and the order only targeted Qin Xinfang's one room, so after the management, the government officials only I meant to lock the door and put the seal on it, and it didn't damage the things inside.

   When the news of Qin Xinfang's exile came out, the county magistrate treated the Qin family more preferentially, because Qin Xinfang committed the crime of treason, but the emperor only exiled him, not even his own family. It means that there is something tricky about this matter, and Qin Xinfang's favor has not been broken, so he does not dare to go too far.

Not only the county magistrate at that time thought this way, but the Qin clan also thought so, so the family paid a sum of money from the public to redeem the stolen main house and fields. , No one in Runing City dared to argue with their Qin Clan, so they spent very little money.

Qin Chengyu became the patriarch, but no one in the clan dared to neglect the heirs. The land was rented to tenants for farming, and the income was divided into three parts, one part was put in the public, which was regarded as the redemption expenses, and the other part was put in the clan to support the Qin family. The education career, and another share is held by Qin Chengyu and several older people, which is left to the heirs.

   And the main house has been cleaned all the time, and everyone is waiting for Qin Xinfang to come back.

   But one year, two years, and three years have passed, and the emperor's anger has clearly subsided, but as long as someone pleads with Qin Xinfang, he will either be pulled out to fight a board, or he will be seized from office.

   Slowly, not only did outsiders know that Qin Xinfang would only be able to stay in Qiongzhou for the rest of his life, but even the Qin clan did not have any hope for the return of their direct descendants.

   In this case, the land and houses that were redeemed became tricky, and some people began to propose dividing the land and the house.

  Fifteen years later, the fields and houses that were redeemed with the public’s silver had already been distributed to the clansmen, and only the main house had no one dared to move.

Because that means the majesty of the direct branch, the glory of the Qin family, Qin Chengyu and the Jiang family wanted to move in for a long time, but he asked someone to attack him several times. , the main house is not something that the second room can imagine.

Until three years ago, the elders of the clan died of illness one after another. Now, the only one left behind is the ancestor of the fourth family, who is higher than Qin Chengyu, but he is also very old. You may not remember what you ate.

   That's why Qin Chengyu dared to let his youngest son take advantage of his marriage to be overjoyed, using the excuse that his house was not enough to live in the main house.
