Capítulo 54: Chapter 0054 Returning Home
Dingjia Mountain Villa
The cold wind was howling. At this moment, Lv Shangjing changed into a clean and neat dress, with a smile on her face and a backpack on her back. She bowed to an old man with graying temples and said, "I have been providing shelter to you for these years and have made a living by serving as a banquet. Now I miss my home. I bid farewell today and may not see you again in the future. Please take good care of me
It's because I have a small temple here, and I have entrusted my friends with their talents. I hope you can have development in the future, "said Mr. Ding, holding his beard and feeling deeply moved.
At the beginning, Ding Yuanwai attached great importance to this Lv Shangjing, whose talent was evident at a glance.
But the words' hot and cool 'emerged over time, and Lv Shangjing's calm teaching gradually made others look down upon her.
What else can this scholar do without our Ding family
With this kind of heart, gradually the welfare decreased, the disdainful eyes increased, and even the people that Ding Yuanwai once appreciated gradually faded away.
This is not just about being snobbish, it's just human nature - what you have doesn't feel precious, only when you lose it do you feel cherished.
At this moment, Ding Yuanwai looked at Lv Shangjing and suddenly felt that this person had learned five levels of wealth and had a profound talent. His every move and gesture had the charm of a scholar. However, he also knew that he had not treated Lv Shangjing very well in recent years and could not stay any longer. He could only regretfully say, "I have mistreated you
Why did Yuanwai say that! "Lv Shangjing bowed deeply." If it weren't for Yuanwai, the students would have no strength to support themselves all these years. This kindness and affection will never be forgotten
Even though he knew it was a clich é, Ding Yuanwai was still somewhat relieved. With a wave of his hand, the servant understood and brought up a small plate covered with red cloth.
He said in his mouth, "This is your salary for this year. Originally, it was less than a year and only fifteen taels, but when we met once, I doubled it to you. This is thirty taels of silver, please keep it safe
Lv Shangjing respectfully took it and bid farewell with a final salute.
Leaving the courtyard gate, getting on the ox cart, and uncovering it revealed thirty taels of patterned silver, five taels of silver ingots, and fine patterned silver. I sighed inwardly.
When I went to the Ding family in my first year, my treatment was the same as that of parents and children, with a salary of thirty taels. However, later on, I gradually became indifferent, the food deteriorated, and my salary decreased.
Looking back at this village from afar, where I have lived for eight years.
At that time, it was just an ordinary house. As a result of leaving the Supervisor of the County County and gradually becoming dependent on relatives and reproducing children, it became a townsman. After Supervisor of the County County returned to his hometown, it has been rectified for more than ten years and consolidated the scattered villages. I came here to see the changes with my own eyes.
At this moment, leaving once feels inexplicable.
The car turned along the road, and Cangshan obscured the scenery.
When he regained consciousness, he put away these six ingots, opened the package, and found three hundred taels of silver bills inside. At this moment, the two were held in his hands, and he felt a bit dazed for a moment.
At this moment, the carriage driver congratulated him, "Congratulations, sir, on returning to your hometown and reuniting your family. Madam must be very happy
Thank you for your kind words, "Lv Shangjing replied with a smile, her voice desolate and bitter. The balance in her heart had slipped to the far side of the road, and her wife had hoped for it in the past. She had avoided it for three years by taking another exam, another three years by taking another exam, and now it has been eight years
As a proud husband with a frail wife and young son, he thought to himself and learned. He was once seen as a hope by the struggling village people, but achieved nothing and was unable to improve his life. He could only rely on the care of his family. He had to tighten his clothes and eat outside, and saved almost all his money to send back. On the surface, he said, "I'm doing well outside. You need to be harmonious and take care of your siblings at home
Every year, a family letter arrived, and my wife knew some characters and had a strong temper. At first, she questioned whether she was unfaithful, but later she gradually felt it. When someone else wrote another letter, she only talked about the family's strengths and weaknesses, hoping to return soon. Her words were sincere.
At this moment, recalling it again, only the pain in my heart became even more unbearable.
Once a boy holding back his emotions, it has now worn away into middle-aged sadness.
After walking for several days, the mountains and rivers are far away.
One evening, upon arriving at the entrance of a village and seeing the surrounding scenery, Lv Shangjing was taken aback. She remembered that eight years ago, the villagers were constantly coming and going, but when she returned, the streets were in decline and the population was not prosperous.
The setting sun was like fire, and at this moment, I felt the piercing cold wind. Lv Shangjing got off the ox cart and said to the driver on the cart, "Look at the goods, I'll go check the road first
There are half of the goods on this car, not luxurious, all practical household items, but I can't control them at this moment. Following the road in my memory, I hurriedly ran towards my home.
Until a small courtyard, I saw that although the walls were peeling off and the fence doors were neat and intact, I breathed a sigh of relief and rationally recalled that I had just received a letter from my wife half a month ago, in elegant handwriting, and even added a few words from my young son crookedly.
At this moment, the longing in my heart grew even stronger, but I hesitated at my feet. With a timid instinct of being close to home, I leaned forward and looked over the fence door. The thatch on the roof of the house was a bit old, and the weak woman was indeed unable to do more. Fortunately, it had not been exposed. The small tree planted together during the wedding in the courtyard was already one zhang tall, and some tender shoots were sprouting.
I am even more eager in my heart, and finally muster the courage to speak out.
Cluck, cluck——
A few old mother chickens fluttered their wings and jumped out of the house, laughing happily with a young child as they chased away and played. At this moment, they looked up alert and met the gaze of the person outside the door. They turned their heads and ran back into the house, saying, "Mother, mother, there are bad people outside
Shouting twice, hearing a gentle warning from within, the child stuck out his tongue but found a backing, half hiding behind the door frame, watching curiously and timidly. On his childish face, there was a faint shadow of Lv Shangjing.
This is my son... "Lv Shangjing discarded the two gifts she was carrying and murmured, instinctively wanting to shout, but her mind went blank.
Until a woman in a hairpin and cloth skirt came out, holding a dustpan in her hand, she stumbled and fell to the ground with a loud bang. The beans rolled and scattered, and two chickens jumped over to peck, but their faces turned pale and they were completely unaware.
Madam... "Lv Shangjing finally called out, tears streaming down her face.
The two of them looked at each other across the fence, longing day and night to reunite. Whether it was glory or shame, grievance or anger, none of them could withstand the wear and tear of life. Seeing this reality, a thousand words can only turn into a blank: "Are you back
I'm back. "Lv Shangjing pushed open the door and saw her squatting down to pick up beans, so she silently went in to help.
At this moment, I was so close that I could see my wife's former beauty, which had long been worn away. I sighed sadly and said, "It's me who's sorry for you
L ü Cao's hand was slightly sluggish, and her voice was hoarse when she opened her mouth again: "Stop talking, as long as you can come back
There was another silence, only the sound of beans falling into the dustpan, one grain, one grain, one grain
The child cleverly drove away the pecking chicken. These beans were good food, and he couldn't even eat much. Seeing this, he was puzzled: "Mother? Who is he
Regarding her son's question, Lady Lu Cao couldn't help but answer, "This is your father
Dad? Isn't he an official outside and doesn't want us anymore? "The child looked at the stranger suspiciously, his big black eyes blinked, and he said firmly," I don't think so
L ü Shangjing felt embarrassed and ashamed, unable to cope.
Pu - "L ü Cao laughed and burst into tears, her voice choked up." Don't be stubborn, scream quickly
The child was not good at hiding, snorted, stubbornly turned his head and ran into the room with a thud.
This child! "L ü Cao frowned and scolded lightly, trying to restrain her emotions.
Without hesitation, a hand touched her face. L ü Caoshi was alert and instinctively wanted to jump up, but was held back. At this moment, she regained consciousness and realized that her husband's rough hand had filled her face with tears at some point.
Mu Ran let him wipe away tears, listen to murmurs of apology, and embrace tightly in a daze. Thousands of emotions surged into her heart, and she couldn't help but burst into tears: "You still know you're coming back! You still dare to come back! You
L ü Shangjing held her tightly, listening to the mournful cries, her face turned pale, and she could only repeat, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, yes
The night light came on, causing a stir in the small village. Many people came to the humble home, all of whom were close neighbors who were delighted to hear that Lv Shangjing had returned. They remembered that Lv Cao's family had been helping each other on a regular basis. Now that the male host had just returned after many years, he spontaneously brought meat and vegetables and gathered for a dust cleaning banquet.
What a thoughtful person Lv Shangjing is. This half cart of goods is prepared for this purpose, no more, no less. According to seniority, various gifts are given, which are well received by relatives and friends. Neighbors and friends praised him one after another, saying, "Lv Xianggong has really made a name for himself
Madam Lv did not wait in vain
Let's just say that this family has a wealthy appearance, and this child is smart and sensible. He will definitely be able to attend high school in the future
Such kind words were presented without money, creating a lively atmosphere. Lv Shangjing was able to socialize freely, while Lv Caoshi just smiled gently. During the day, her stubborn son was also well behaved, calling out 'daddy' without hesitation.
Until the last uncle was sent, the courtyard quieted down quietly. L ü Cao was busy tidying up the banquet, while L ü Shangjing patiently dealt with her son's various difficult problems.
After a while, when it was time to rest, L ü Cao, under the suggestion of her husband, coaxed her son to sleep first.
L ü Shangjing tightly closed the door, took out her luggage, and as soon as she unfolded it, she revealed twenty taels of snow-white fine silver. She also took out a silver receipt and solemnly handed it to her wife, saying, "Although I couldn't pass the imperial examination for a scholar, I need to sharpen some of my skills. A few days ago, with the help of a nobleman, I hired three hundred taels as a guest official, and when I resigned from the position of a clerk, I received thirty years of gold. I spent some money on gifts, and the rest was left for you to take care of
At this moment, he looked at his wife in a daze. She was over thirty years old, and looking at her under the lamp, she still had delicate eyebrows and eyes, a charming smile, and a hint of the charm of the past.
L ü Shangjing remembered her talent at first sight, winning a child in one fell swoop. She was valued by Cao Lao Xiucai and married her daughter to herself.
L ü Cao's upbringing was of high quality, as she knew how to manage such a large amount of silver and maintain the dignity of the scholarly family. However, she suffered with her husband for many years, especially after her father-in-law passed away and she lost her mother's family support, which became even more difficult. It has been ten years since she last saw such a large amount of silver, and she is currently very uncomfortable.
At this moment, he was stunned and somewhat surprised, murmuring, "Why are there so many... husband, don't be deceived by others or do things that are forbidden
As a wife, wouldn't you know that if you spend fifteen taels of silver a year and send ten taels back home, the other five taels of silver will take a year? Fortunately, the Ding family still manages the food, and in the blink of an eye, it took seven or eight years to survive.
Looking at him with clear eyes, Lv Shangjing felt both sad and relieved. She said, "Your husband's luck is not good, and he has some ability to judge others. He is also a law-abiding person. Does Madam not know this
With this money, Madam doesn't have to work so hard. Pay attention to nourishing your body, and when your son arrives at the beginning of the year, teach him more and send him to school to prepare for the imperial examination
Yes, we used to have 35 taels of silver at home, which you sent back over the years to store. Now that we have these, we are more comfortable and can buy some land, "said Lv Caoshi.
Only then did he take the ingot, carefully examined it, touched it, and carefully pondered over three hundred taels of silver bills. He carefully wrapped them in red cloth and hid them at the bottom of the dowry box. After thinking for a moment, he took out some broken silver, prepared it for use, and then carefully locked it... This cautious action invisibly created a safe atmosphere that enriched the home and warmed their hearts.
She held the key and hid it close to her body. Turning around, her face turned slightly red as she lowered her head and asked, "Do you still want to go out
Just as Lv Shangjing was about to answer, she watched as she nervously rubbed against her lotus shoes, vaguely showing her youthful demeanor. Originally haggard and concealed, she regained her radiance and plump body, presenting an unseen beauty. She couldn't help but be stunned and instinctively embraced her, changing her euphemism: "These days, I've been staying at home with you
L ü Caoshi lost her intelligence at this moment and could only respond, "Okay... hey, what's wrong with your husband
But it was pressed onto the bed, and the next moment, the light was blown out.
