Isn't he in Chengde? Why did he come back to Nanjing after traveling once
It's incredible.
Ye Shaoyang walked forward with Biqing, observed the surrounding area, and found that he didn't recognize anything in the vicinity except for the city wall and the city gate. It has always been the same, separated by hundreds of years, and there have been several dynasties in between. , It would be nice to have the city walls and gates preserved.
Looking at the city towers and city walls that are not much different from those hundreds of years later, Ye Shaoyang thought to himself, Nanjing is really a place with a history.
According to his current location, Ye Shaoyang deduced the location of his home. Now, that place is either a wilderness, or a residential house or something.
The two strolled around, and Biqing yelled that she was tired (the goblin has only this little stamina), so Ye Shaoyang went home with her. On the way, Ye Shaoyang asked a lot of questions about the world, and learned that the world is still peaceful, there is no war, and the lives of ordinary people are not too miserable, but I heard that there are fierce battles in the palace, even if they stay at home Biqing, I have also heard that the person most favored by the emperor in the court is the famous Yan Song.
I actually traveled to this dynasty. Ye Shaoyang felt weird.
"By the way, officer, you haven't been to the grave for more than a year. It's almost Chinese New Year. When will you have time to pay respects to your parents' grave?"
"Yeah." Ye Shaoyang agreed.
"Then it's noon." Bi Qing agreed to him, a little surprised, and followed up with the proposal.
Ye Shaoyang thought that he wanted to get acquainted with the environment anyway, so he could go there and see how much information the person who brought him into this world had arranged for him.
When he got home, Guagua also came back from school. It seemed that he was very close to his uncle and had been clinging to him. Ye Shaoyang looked at him, and Biqing, the two people he was so familiar with yesterday, one became his wife and the other became his nephew. This feeling... I really can't laugh or cry.
The lunch was very rich, and the food was more refined than in my time, but the rice was not refined enough. There should be no hybrid rice in this era, but there were no fertilizers and additives, and the food was very fresh. Ye Shaoyang ate two bowls.
His "sister-in-law", Guagua's mother, Chen Yue, had her meal delivered to her by a maid, but she didn't come out, so Guagua also went into the house after dinner to find her for a nap.
Biqing said that he had walked too much and had to go into the house to take a nap, and asked Ye Shaoyang if he wanted to come together. Ye Shaoyang asked her to go by herself, expressing that she would go to the street to buy something.
After Biqing left, Ye Shaoyang was sitting alone in the living room drinking tea. At this time, an old man walked in. He looked to be in his sixties, wearing a black hat and a brown striped satin gown with a serious expression on his face. When it came to Ye Shaoyang, he didn't nod and bow like the other servants at all. He just bowed slightly and said, "Master, you're awake."
Miao Er was packing up the dishes and whispered in Ye Shaoyang's ear, "This is Butler Wu."
Ye Shaoyang got up to greet him and asked him to sit down.
Steward Wu thanked him, then sat down beside him, looked Ye Shaoyang up and down, and said, "Master, is your mind clear?"
"I can't remember many things, but everything else is fine."
Butler Wu frowned, and said, "Do you still remember those Confucian classics?"
Ye Shaoyang shook his head dumbly.
Butler Wu sighed, and said, "Young master, it's not the old slave who is talking about you, you are in your early twenties, and you have to get a good name on your body, so that you can shine on your family..."
Ye Shaoyang heard him say a lot of persuasive words, but he didn't know how to refute them, so he had to be perfunctory.
After Wu Butler said something, he shook his head helplessly, took out a small book from his sleeve, and handed it to Ye Shaoyang, "This is the amount of rent and labor expenses for this month, young master, let's have a look."
Ye Shaoyang opened it and glanced at it, then threw it to him and said, "It's up to you to decide."
Butler Wu cupped his hands, "I'm just making decisions for the young master."
"Well, give me some money, I'll go shopping in the street this afternoon." Ye Shaoyang was worried that he didn't have any money on him, when he happened to be here, so he asked for it.
"How much does the young master need?"
"Whatever, I'll just buy something."
Steward Wu took out two ingots of silver from his sleeve, and put them on the table.
Butler Wu tried to persuade him with the same cliché, and then he left.
Ye Shaoyang took the silver, came to the street by himself, found the so-called West Street, walked around the street, and found the coffin shop that Biqing was talking about. There was no signboard, but there were a few wreaths and paper-wrapped horse ancient times at the door. Funerals are all like this, they are named unlucky, and they are usually placed at the door, so you can tell what they are doing at a glance.
But the coffin shop was not open. Ye Shaoyang walked closer and saw that the wreaths and paper horses were all torn, and the door panels were covered with dust. It looked like it hadn’t been opened for a long time. He was a little curious, and there happened to be a steamed bun shop next to it, and the owner was steaming steamed buns. Ye Shaoyang went over to inquire.
"Their house opened yesterday, and the boss is busy today."
Unfortunately, Ye Shaoyang asked if there was a coffin shop nearby, and he said he didn't know. Ye Shaoyang wandered around the street, bought a few sesame seed cakes, and they tasted pretty good. When he wandered home, Biqing had already woken up, and said it was a coffin shop. They packed up the carriage and went back to the grave together.
Guagua also wanted to go to the countryside, so he deliberately asked his mother for permission, and then cheerfully got into Ye Shaoyang's carriage.
Biqing also has a very good relationship with Guagua, playing with him all the way, Guagua also happily quarreled with her, and suddenly said, "Auntie, when will you and uncle give me a brother?"
Biqing blushed, and smiled shyly at Ye Shaoyang: "I have to ask your uncle..."
Ye Shaoyang was speechless.
The so-called countryside is actually not far away. After leaving the city, it took less than an hour to arrive. The carriage stopped in front of a hill. This is the ancestral tomb of the "Yang family".
Ye Shaoyang is actually very curious, where did these ancestral graves come from, maybe there is really some kind of Yang Shaoye, and he is his identity, Biqing and Guagua are also the same, they are all outsiders, replacing the original characters, As for what the members of this family did before, Ye Shaoyang didn't know.
The three of Ye Shaoyang went up the mountain, came to the cemetery, and found the grave of "parents". Ye Shaoyang looked at the names on the tombstone, and they were completely unfamiliar.
Several servants placed offerings in front of the tombstone, and three sticks of incense were lit, and Ye Shaoyang and the others began to burn paper.
After finishing, Ye Shaoyang took two servants with shovels and started to dig the grave. All of this was arranged by Biqing. Ye Shaoyang felt that it should be a local custom, and he cooperated very well. When cultivating the soil, Ye Shaoyang randomly pulled out a few grasses on the grave, weaved them together, burned them in front of the grave, and said spells and the names of the dead.
