The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 50 The Great Change at Home
On both sides of the smooth road from Xijin Ferry to Wujin County, there are thousands of miles of fertile fields, all of which are farmlands, but after ten days of work, patches of green have already appeared. It turned out that after the spring rain, the rice fields had begun to sow seeds.

Man Gu and Zhou Lie yearned for each other, and regretted that they did not go to Jingkou with them. They kept asking anecdotes about the journey, but Xiao Qinzhi didn't bother to say anything. Zhou Lie and Man Gu thought there was something wrong with Xiao Shu's neck.

On the other hand, the fat old eight was tireless, describing all kinds of things along the way to the two of them vividly.

After entering the gate of Xiao's Manor, she saw Hua Gu leading Xiao Yunzhi waiting in the distance. Seeing Xiao Qinzhi's appearance, Xiao Yunzhi rushed over excitedly, shouting:

"Brother, did you bring me a gift?"

The two shofar braids ran up and down, the pink and tender face reflected unspeakable joy, one of Xiao Qin hugged Xiao Qinzhi, put it on the back, and said dotingly:

"Wait, I'll give it to you when I get home, where's Mom?"

"Aunt is upstairs." Xiao Yunzhi replied happily, leaning on her back, looking far away from Huagu, and sticking it behind Xiao Qin's ear, she whispered: "Brother, let me tell you something. Good news, I heard my mother and Hua Gu say that my sister is going home."

"Really?" Xiao Qinzhi was pleasantly surprised. Since Xiao Yunzhi got married, he came back to check on relatives very rarely, so that Xiao Qinzhi's memory gradually became blurred. There was only a back view of his green hair tied up with a hairpin.

"I heard it with my own ears. My mother also told you to pick up sister." Xiao Yunzhi said again.

"Well, I will definitely pick up my sister back in person." Xiao Qinzhi agreed, and walked towards Huagu standing under the eaves behind Xiao Yunzhi's back. When he got closer, Xiao Qinzhi suddenly found that Huagu seemed to be Something is wrong.

Hua Gu's mood was a little lonely, her white hair was a little grayer, she stared at Xiao Qinzhi, her eyes were blurred with tears, she just said: "Little Lang, just come back, hurry up, madam is waiting for you to eat Woolen cloth."

The joy of Xiao Qinzhi's Jingkou group disappeared in an instant, his eyes frowned, his heart became alert, and he said in a deep voice: "Yes, I see."

Something must have happened at home, or it was related to the eldest sister, Xiao Qinzhi was anxious, and said to Zhou Lie and Mangu, "Take my things to the study on the third floor, and then wait for me in the study." , strode upstairs.

The dining room on the third floor is brightly lit, and there are some small dishes on the food table, emitting a few wisps of heat. Mother Xiao leaned against the door and looked forward, seeing Xiao Qinzhi carrying Xiao Yun on his back upstairs. , forced out a smile, hugged Xiao Yunzhi, and said: "Be hungry, eat."

"Mum, yes." Xiao Qinzhi asked hastily, who had no intention of eating.

However, she was interrupted by Xiao's mother, who touched Xiao Yunzhi's head, and said slowly: "Eat first, we will talk after eating."

Xiao Qinzhi had something to hide in his heart, he picked up a few big mouthfuls of rice at random, took a few mouthfuls of vegetables, and ate the meal quickly, carried Xiao Yunzhi in his arms and went to the study, Zhou Lie and Mangu were already waiting.

From the pile of items, Xiao Qinzhi picked out a copy of "Ping Fu Tie", presented it to Xiao Yunzhi, and said: "Brother, I think you will be a talented woman in the future, this "Ping Fu Tie" is the most suitable for you."

Xiao Yunzhi pursed her lips and said: "Brother, you are so stupid, how could you give me this?"

"Ping Fu Tie" is cursive official calligraphy, Xiao Qin's main attack is Yan Kai, and it is not used yet, the main reason is that I forgot to buy a gift, I don't want to be disgusted by Xiao Yunzhi, it is embarrassing for a while, think about it, how can there be a copybook for girls of.

Xiao Qinzhi thought for a while and said, "I'll pick up my sister in a few days and buy it for you, okay?"

"Brother, that's what you said, otherwise I'd be angry." Xiao Yunzhi pursed her lips and said arrogantly, holding "Ping Fu Tie" and happily went back to the room.

Xiao Yunzhi was soothed by this end, and the other end ran non-stop to the dining room. Mother Xiao had already finished her meal and went to the small dojo next door to offer incense. The dining room was deserted, Xiao Qinzhi could only wait anxiously.

At the same time, Xiao Qinzhi was thinking that the four surnames in the southern regions were going to expand to the north, and the Xiao family was at the forefront, while Xiao Yunzhi was married to Wuxi Huashi, and his brother-in-law Hua Yanzhi died of illness after a year of marriage. They have a daughter.

In other words, Xiao Yunzhi is a widow who takes care of her only daughter in Huashi. This orphan and widow doesn't mess with the world, so what can he do?

"Boom—" Thunder broke out in Xiao Qinzhi's head, and a bad thought suddenly rose in his heart. Thinking of Xiao Yunzhi's going home, Xiao Qinzhi guessed that Fahrenheit might use the name of "divorcing his wife" to attack Xiao's prestige, as for the reasons for "divorcing his wife", just fabricate one at will.

Xiao Qinzhi sat blankly, with a serious expression on his face, the patriarch took care of the family affairs, but he felt sorry for Ajie, she fell in love with Hua Yanzhi Taihu Yaji at first sight, and insisted on marrying to Nandi.

This is a two-way love, and it finally becomes a flower in the mirror, a moon in the water, it's really not worth it.

Even, Xiao Qinzhi can imagine that the sorrow of homesickness, the pain of her husband's death, and the pain of living alone, must have been extremely difficult for her in the past few years living in Fahrenheit, but she never mentioned it in her letter. This matter is often said very well.

Thinking of this, Xiao Qinzhi couldn't help clenching his fists, and there was only one thought in his mind, to bring Sister home as soon as possible.

On the corridor outside the door, there was a "dong dong" sound, Xiao Qinzhi quickly got up, walked outside the door, saw the patriarch coming in a hurry, opened his mouth and asked: "Qinzhi, where is your mother?"

"Second Uncle, I'm here." Mother Xiao walked out of the dojo, her eyes red and swollen, holding a letter in her hand, leading the patriarch to the dining room.

Xiao Qinzhi choked, thinking that he might have guessed right, a nameless anger rushed to the top of his head, and said angrily: "Mum, don't cry, I will pick up Sister tomorrow."

Mother Xiao said with tears in her eyes: "Qinzhi, don't be reckless, Huashi is powerful, we can't afford to offend him, just take Yunzhi back safely, and there must be no conflict."

After the patriarch finished reading the letter, with a dejected look on his face, he threw the letter to Xiao Qinzhi, without saying a word, paced in the dining room, thinking with lowered eyebrows.

The letter is very short, no more than a dozen lines in total. It can be said that Hua Yanzhi has been dead for several years, and the orphan is growing up.

This is simply tactful farting, Xiao Yunzhi is the official wife of Fahrenheit's official matchmaker, who has been welcomed by the door, and the government has registered a crime, and Xiao Yunzhi has not violated the "seven entry and three exit" regulations, Fahrenheit has no reason to divorce his wife.

In addition, even if Fahrenheit showed mercy and couldn't bear Xiao Yun's celibacy, he still needed to discuss with Xiao Shi in advance, instead of just sending a letter and letting Xiao Yun pick him up.

The patriarch stood still and suddenly asked: "Sister and sister, before leaving, I told you that we will discuss the matter of the ten hectares of land with the Cheng family after I come back. After I leave, will the Cheng family send someone to ask? "

Xiao's mother wiped away her tears, nodded and said: "Master Huang and Thirteenth Brother from the county have been here twice, but I declined and said I would wait for you to come back to deal with it."

"Yeah!" The patriarch nodded, took a deep breath and said, "For the ten hectares of land, you should fill the barn and arrange spring plowing immediately. Don't worry about Cheng, I have my own way."

Looking at Xiao Qinzhi who was full of anger, he said in a deep voice: "The whole family meeting in the afternoon, you will be there at that time, and tomorrow morning, with your seventh uncle and ninth uncle, you will take part sixty, fully armed, and set off for Wuxi. All gifts are rejected, and only one of Yun is allowed to go home."

Xiao's mother couldn't help crying when she heard the words.

"Thank you, Uncle Er." Xiao Qinzhi thanked him sincerely.

The patriarch stared at the void and said indignantly: "How can I, the daughter of the Xiao family, be bullied by others?"

[Ask for a ticket——]
