Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 451: Major Events in Life
A round of setting sun in the sky casts thousands of glows.In the rays of the sun, pedestrians on the street came and went, and the voices of peddlers peddled one after another, creating a lively scene.There is a little boy carrying wormwood on his back and selling it loudly in the crowd.

Dismounting at the entrance of the alley, Wang Xiaolie returned to his home in Xiangyang with his entourage.

Under normal circumstances, Wang Xiaolie's family should live in the governor's yamen.After Wang Qingxiu arrived in Xiangyang, for convenience, he found another place to live.In this alley, a house of more than one mu is Xiangyang's new home.

There are a total of five families in this alley.The first is Xing Yuanwai, who makes lacquerware, the second is Wang Qingxiu, the third is Li Yuanwai, a crude medicine shop, the fourth is Meng Yuanwai, who runs a restaurant, and the fifth is Tian Yuanwai, who runs a boat.It can be said that neither rich nor expensive.

Wang Xiaolie originally wanted to learn from his previous life to build a community, but it was inconvenient to demolish and rebuild.The ordinary private houses in Xiangyang have not been changed, but some government offices and dormitory areas of Changpu have been newly built, and the appearance of the later generations of the community has been built.

Neighbors in the Song Dynasty were different from later generations, and many things really influenced each other.For example, when selling a house, if the neighbor wants to buy it, he has the priority.The buyer must get the consent of the neighbors, not whoever he wants to sell to.Neighbors have to guarantee each other for many things.If someone in the family commits a crime, the neighbors will be implicated.Therefore, among neighbors, there are very few future generations who do not communicate with each other forever.

The two guards at the gate were sent by Wang Xiaolie.Strictly speaking, Wang Xiaolie selected two people from his entourage and sent them here.At this time, Wang Xiaolie's subordinates set up a security office under Chen Qiudao, and all the previous people such as Liren were cancelled, and the security office sent people uniformly.Officials have different official positions, and the number of guards varies.

Wang Xiaolie was the Xuan envoy, and according to the old rule of the imperial court, he was accompanied by 50 people.Now the guards and attendants under his name remain the same, but they have been uniformly changed to be sent by the Guard Office, led by Cui Qing.It is common practice for everyone to send two people to the house.Many officials sent more.

Upon receiving the news, Wang Qingxiu rushed out to greet her.To Wang Xiaolie: "I haven't been home for nearly two months, and I thought you wouldn't be back for the Dragon Boat Festival. I don't want to come back so early today. Is everything okay in the yamen?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "How could it be all right? It's just that things don't get done all at once, so why bother."

The two entered the house while talking.The weather is fine today, so I sat under the two pomegranate trees in the yard.The two apricot trees next to it are full of green apricots, giving off a fresh breath.

After tea was served, Wang Xiao said: "Today's Dragon Boat Festival, I brought some food back, my sister has a taste. This salted duck egg is produced in Luoshan County of Xinyang Army, and it cannot be compared with other places. Mung bean cake is made by Qingfeng Xulai. Refined, it also has a unique flavor. I also brought a neck-necked bream, which is the most delicious when steamed. By the way, the folk slaughter of cattle was released a few days ago, and I brought back two catties of sauced beef. My sister has a taste."

As he spoke, he asked his followers to hand over to Mrs. Ning, who was cooking at home, to clean up.

More than a year ago, Wang Xiaolie abolished the slavery system.Many people's housemaids and the like have all re-contracted.Later, all walks of life were allowed to set up guilds, which were supervised by the government to handle disputes between these people and their employers.Mrs. Ning was hired by her family to cook, and there was also a trade union in the latter, which was different from the slaves in the past.

If there is no such organization as a trade union, the employees will be bullied by their employers.If it is too strong, it will not obey the government's control.An appropriate degree must be maintained without increasing the difficulty of government management.

Under Wang Xiaolie's rule, most of these non-governmental organizations were supervised by the government.The official name is government-supervised and private-run.Private rather than government-run, reducing government expenditures.Supervised by the government to prevent becoming a vassal of certain forces.

While others were busy, Wang Xiaolie and his sister were sitting in the yard, chatting about household chores.

After a few gossips, Wang Qingxiu said: "Da Lang is 22 years old. He is a normal family. He should marry a wife and have children. In the past two years, he valued filial piety, so it is not easy to rush you. Now besides filial piety, you should think about it." .”

Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "You are a sister, how can I marry a wife if I don't get married first?"

Wang Qingxiu said: "In the past two years, apart from Empress Filial Piety, I have been delayed from Ruzhou to Xiangyang. It's not that I don't want to, but I have no choice. You said that you want me to find someone I like, and I will love you forever. You will not interfere with what kind of person I am looking for, and everything is up to my heart. This year, I should find the person I like and marry him as a wife. After I get married, Da Lang will also get married."

Wang Xiaolie thought for a while.Said: "Shouldn't this kind of thing be resigned?"

Wang Qingxiu laughed when she heard this: "Fate? Why? If the fate doesn't come for a long time, don't you want to marry a wife for the rest of your life? Dalang, you are also a son of man, you can't be willful. When you are old, you should talk about marriage. To be honest Tell me, is there anyone you like?"

Wang Xiaolie didn't speak.Think about my two lifetimes, I have seen many beautiful women.Some of them are so beautiful that you can never forget them after seeing them.But when it comes to marrying wives and having children, these people are not the women they imagined.

Sudden heart move.In the two lives, there are still two women who are different.

One was a little girl from the same village as him in the previous life.One of their homes is in the east of the village and the other is in the west of the village, and they seldom meet each other.Once forgot the reason, the two played together.The sun was shining that afternoon, the sky was blue and there was a slight breeze.Two people are at the head of the village.On this side of the road are a few big mulberry trees, on the other side of the road is a row of shrubs and weeds, with a clump of jujube beside it.

Wang Xiaolie climbed up the tree and picked mulberries for the little girl to eat.I was on a tree, and the little girl under the tree clapped her hands and laughed.Later, I went to the other side of the road to pick jujubes for the little girl to eat.The little girl followed, picking jujubes by herself, and shed tears when she was stabbed.

Wang Xiaolie couldn't remember what happened that afternoon.I just remember that I was on the tree, and the little girl was laughing under the tree.He got into the grass by himself, and the little girl stood by the grass, tears were pricked.

After that day, the two rarely saw each other and never spoke a word.But the world is so strange, Wang Xiaolie has always felt that if there is a destiny, that little girl is his destiny lover.

There is another one, the green skirt that I saw occasionally in the Lumen Temple.That person only had a glimpse, and Wang Xiaolie didn't see clearly what he looked like.But there is a feeling that this woman is destined to be with him.

If he sees the little girl from his childhood again, maybe Wang Xiaolie will be disappointed and find that she is not what he imagined.If you really see the woman in Tsing Yi in Lumen Temple, it is very difficult to fall in love at first sight.Perhaps in one's own soul, there is a kind of shadow.These two people just showed the appearance of that shadow at the right time and the right place.

Or maybe, nothing.It's just that the feeling of human beings is very strange, and I can't explain it clearly.
