Yingzhou is located between Xiangyang and Jingzhou, was originally the hometown of the Western Liang Dynasty, more than ten years ago Yang Xuangan served here as a thorn history, provoked love, gave birth to Yang Yuanqing in this life, almost died of illness at the age of two, a soul from 1,400 years ago made Yang Yuanqing reborn.

Yang Yuanqing's biological mother's surname is Li, a "daughter" of a middle-aged family in Jingshan County, Yingzhou, who was infected with her son at the same time when Yuanqing was two years old, and unfortunately died.

More than ten years have passed, and Yang Yuanqing has once again returned to his hometown after a thirteen-year absence.

The time has come to the end of October, a wave of early snow covered the Jianghan Plain, the snow "flowers" are finely broken, flying all over the sky, sandwiched with smoke and busy atmosphere, so that the Jingshan County has been closed in recent years has added a touch of auspicious and festive atmosphere.

In the morning, two samurai on horseback appeared on the official road outside the city of Jingshan County.

"Yuanqing, do you remember when you were two years old?" Unknowingly, Niuniu has changed her name to Yuanqing.

"I don't remember that when I first saw you, I was only two or three years old! You are running in the yard on a bamboo horse, and you still refuse to call me brother. ”

"Really? I can't remember, I just remember the things you bullied me when I was a child! ”

The two talked and laughed and walked the city "gate", Yang Yuanqing grabbed the reins, he actually only vaguely remembered that the Li Mansion was in the city, close to the West City "Gate", there were two old locust trees at the entrance of the "gate", the pavilion was like a cover, Yang Yuanqing stared for a long time, not far ahead, two old locust trees with the shape of a crown fell into his eyes.

"It should be there!"

He urged the war horse, and his heart was a little more nervous about his hometown, did his uncle and aunt still remember him? Niuniu stopped talking, she understood Yuanqing's mood at this time, and she was just as nervous when she and her mother returned to their hometown.

"Who are you looking for?"

At the entrance of the house, a boy about six or seven years old wearing an octagonal hat tilted his head to look at him, his round and chubby face was flushed.

"Is this Li Dalang's home?" Yang Yuanqing probably remembered his uncle's nickname.

"This son, are you looking for my eldest man?" Someone behind him asked

As soon as Yang Yuanqing turned around, he saw a thirty-five or sixteen-year-old "woman" and "woman" standing behind him, she was wearing a light, narrow-sleeved striped silk skirt, a half-sleeved short shirt embroidered with "flower" edging on her upper body, a thick red "color" cloth on her shoulders, smiling kindly, carrying a basket in her hand, the basket was covered with a blue cloth, and a few "colored" pastries and fruits were "exposed" on the side.

The boy immediately jumped up, "Mother, give me, give me!" ”

The "woman" and "woman" reluctantly took a piece of cake and gave it to him, "You child, you know how to eat!" ”

With this soft tone and kind smile, Yang Yuanqing suddenly remembered that this "girl" was his aunt back then, and her surname seemed to be Zhou.

"Auntie!"

Yang Yuanqing shouted softly, "Do you still know me?" ”

Zhou was stunned, how could a nephew suddenly come, she looked Yang Yuanqing up and down, and a distant memory came back to her mind, the child who was sent to the capital back then.

"Yuanqing.... Is that you? ”

"Auntie, it's me, do you remember me?"

Zhou put down the basket and grabbed Yang Yuanqing's hand, "Child, it's really you!" Growing so tall, I remember, you were only so little bit back then. ”

Zhou wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and glanced at Niuniu behind him again, "This is... Your wife? ”

"She's my sister!" Yang Yuanqing said with a smile.

"Sister?"

Zhou was stunned for a moment, she suddenly patted her forehead and laughed, "Look at me confused, obviously I am an unmarried 'daughter', I also asked if it was your wife, I understand." ”

Niuniu hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute, "Niuniu has seen her uncle." ”

"This girl looks so good!"

Zhou praised sincerely, "There is really no comparison in our county." ”

She hurriedly took Niuniu's hand and smiled at Yuan Qing: "Come home with me, your uncle talked about you a few months ago." ”

"How is your uncle?" Yang Yuanqing led the horse and asked with a smile.

"Hey! For more than ten years, I have been settling accounts all day long, thinking about buying two acres of land today, and thinking about buying a cow tomorrow, and I am busy all day long. ”

"It seems that my uncle and aunt are doing well."

"It's been okay in the past few years, the harvest in Zhuangzi is good, the taxes are not high, your uncle bought a hundred acres of fish ponds a few years ago, and aquatic products can also be sold at a good price, I think it's better than in previous years."

Yang Yuanqing can also see that the clothes worn by his aunt and the house have only been renovated in the past two years, with "colored" blue bricks and black tiles, and the warehouses on both sides of the front yard are full of accumulated grain.

"Da Lang, who do you think is coming?" As soon as he entered the "door" of the hospital, his aunt Zhou shouted impatiently.

Out of the room came a middle-aged man, of medium height, with a square face, a black beard on his chin, a blue linen robe, and a flat scarf on his head.

"Lady, what's the matter?"

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment when he saw Yuan Qing, "This little brother is ......"

After the death of Yuan Qing's biological mother, his uncle and aunt raised him for nearly a year, and he was also considered to have the grace of nurturing, although the memory was vague, but Yuan Qing knew that this was his uncle, he stepped forward and knelt down, clasped his fists and saluted, "Nephew Yuan Qing greets my uncle!" ”

"You are.... Yuanqing! ”

Uncle Yuanqing was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly helped him up, looked up and down, and his eyes were "excited", "Oops! Grown so tall, I remember that you were born on the first day, and you will be sixteen years old soon, and you haven't seen you for more than ten years, you are coming back to sweep your mother's grave! ”

Yuan Qing nodded, "It's just to come back and sweep my mother's grave." ”

Zhou pulled Niuniu and introduced her husband with a smile: "This pretty girl is Yuanqing's sister, surnamed Zhang, and her nickname is Niuniu. ”

Niuniu's face flushed, and she also gave a salute, "See uncle!" ”

Li Dalang immediately understood who Niuniu was from Yuanqing, and he smiled happily, "Okay! Come in and sit down. ”

He ordered a small servant to lead the horse to the stable, then took Yuanqing's hand into the house, the main hall was brightly lit, the ground was paved with green bricks, an offering table was placed on the left, the table was full of various "color" tributes, enshrined to Zhao Gongming, the god of wealth, the front was a few couches, the couch was covered with a mattress, and a brazier was placed in front of it.

Yuan Qing took out a few high-quality silk from the capital from the horse bag and handed them to his aunt, "This is a little bit of my heart, please accept it from my uncle and aunt!" ”

The husband and wife hurriedly excused themselves, Yuan Qing just refused, and they had to accept it, at this time, from the side "door" came out of a young "girl", sixteen or seventeen years old, with a beautiful face, looking quite like Zhou, and the dress was the same as his mother, Li Dalang pointed at Yuan Qing and smiled at her: "Li Niang, this is Yuan Qing, do you remember?" ”

Yuan Qing still remembers that he had a cousin, who was a year older than him, and his uncle used to joke about giving him his cousin when he was a child.

He hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Cousin, I'm Yuanqing!" ”

The young "girl" pursed her lips and smiled, and hurriedly returned the salute to him, "Father talked about you last month, and you really came." ”

Zhou pulled Niuniu and said with a smile: "A few of us 'women' went to the backyard to talk, and here they spoke to their uncles and nephews." ”

Li Liniang saw that Niuniu was abnormally beautiful, and she was envious, so she hurriedly stepped forward to hold Niuniu's hand and went to the backyard with affection, Yuan Qing saw that her cousin was still wearing braids, so she smiled and said, "Uncle, isn't my cousin married yet?" ”

"My mother-in-law already has it, and I will get married in February next year."

Li Dalang sighed and said, "If only you came back last year, you can still see your grandfather." ”

Yang Yuanqing remembered that his grandfather was very disgusted with their mother and son, he didn't have a good impression, and he didn't want to ask him about it, so he changed the topic, "What does uncle do now?" ”

Li Dalang understood in his heart that when Yuanqing's biological mother was pregnant before marriage, his father was furious and drove his sister out of the house, or he secretly took his sister back, and his father did not forgive his sister until his death, and did not allow her grave to move back to the Li family tomb.

He didn't mention his grandfather's affairs, and pulled Yuanqing to sit down, at this time, Liniang brought two bowls of tea, put them on the table, nodded to Yuanqing, and went to the backyard.

Li Dalang said with a smile: "My name is Da Lang, in fact, the third child, fourteen years ago our five brothers split up, your grandfather gave me 100 acres of ancestral land outside the city, more than ten years of thrift and thrift, paddy fields increased to 300 acres, life is slowly getting better, the year before last I bought 100 acres of water surface, fish and shrimp, a year can also earn hundreds of dollars. ”

Yang Yuanqing knew that his uncle's family was a small landlord and had always been relatively wealthy, but it had been better in the past few years, so he asked with a smile: "How are other people's families?" ”

"How to say, of course, there are poor and rich, in fact, everyone is the same, the key is two words, diligence and thrift, as long as you grasp these two words, you will generally live well, all those who are in a dilapidated family will not be able to run a family, and if you have money, you will "spend" it indiscriminately, and you can't save your family business."

Li Dalang is quite talkative, and he is in good spirits, and he can't hold it when he opens the chatterbox, "The Great Sui Emperor is good, the tax is very low, and it can be reduced or exempted in disaster years, but there are many servitudes, and I went to the county government for two months as an errand officer in the last few months, and I won't go next year, I'd rather 'pay' thirty hanging money, this is too old to support it." ”

Yuan Qing also laughed, "Uncle is less than forty!" Why are you old? ”

Li Dalang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "If you can live to be sixty years old, even if you live a long life, I will only have twenty years at most, and I will earn a share of the family property to leave to my children and grandchildren, by the way, you still have two cousins." ”

"I just saw one at the door."

"That's the boy Fu'er, the most naughty, and there is a noble child who is studying in the county school, and he can only go home once a month, and I will trust him to come back in a few days."

Yang Yuanqing shook his head, "Uncle, I'm going back tomorrow." ”

"What do you do in such a hurry, it's rare to come back, and you have to stay for at least ten days and half a month before leaving."

"Uncle, I'm really sorry, there is something in the army, and I can't stay for a long time."

Li Dalang remembered that he didn't ask Yuanqing, and smiled apologetically: "I forgot, what are you doing now, listening to your tone, it seems that you have joined the army?" ”

Yuan Qing nodded and smiled: "I am in Fengzhou Biansai, serving as a town general, this time I am asking for leave to go home to visit relatives." ”

"There is a chance!"

Li Dalang gave a thumbs up, "I'm afraid that you will become the kind of gentleman in the capital, and if you can go to the border to join the army, you will be a good man, and your mother will be happy for you." ”

Yuan Qing nodded silently, "Uncle, I want to go to my mother's grave now." ”

"Good! Wait a minute, I'll prepare you a little money for incense candles. ”

．．．．．．．．

Outside the city, by a small river with green water, Yang Yuanqing saw the tomb of his biological mother, a small tomb alone, the tomb was covered with snow, a willow tree was planted next to it, the willow branches hung lightly on the grave, and a tablet was erected in front of the tomb, which read: 'Sister Panniang's tomb, brother Lang Li'.

Yang Yuanqing looked at the tomb silently, his nose was sour, this was his biological mother's grave, and he was buried here so alone, and he couldn't even enter the family tomb.

The uncle lit the incense candle on the side and said in a low voice: "Panniang, your son Yuanqing has come to see you, he has grown so big and is very promising, you can look at it under the nine springs." ”

Yang Yuanqing slowly knelt down in front of his biological mother's grave, thinking about the discrimination and humiliation of the Yang family since he was a child, a strong emotion hit his heart, he couldn't help it anymore, and cried loudly in front of his mother's tombstone.......

Yang Yuanqing held back his grief, he wiped away his tears and said to his uncle: "I want to re-erect a monument to my mother, in my name, and I will buy a few acres of land nearby, please ask my uncle to re-use bluestone to build my mother's tomb, I will come back again next year, I will fight for my mother's fate, and I want to re-bury her in the scenery, so that the county order and the assassin will come to worship." ”

"Don't worry! I'll do it for you. “

Yang Yuanqing nodded, turned back to Niuniu and said, "You also come to kneel and worship!" ”

Niuniu stepped forward and slowly knelt down in front of the grave, kowtowed three times, and said in a low voice: "Niuniu has met her mother." ”

．．．．．．．．．

Although he began to owe debts again, Lao Gao was very happy, although everyone voted for a monthly ticket, the more they voted, the more Lao Gao repaid his debts, and he would definitely pay them off slowly
