When the ship arrived in Hangzhou, it had to say goodbye, many people had relatives and friends in Hangzhou, so they had to pay their own visits, and everyone agreed on a date and place to reunite, and then dispersed.
Ye Chunqiu carried the burden and followed Ye Jing to set off.
The old lady once told Ye Jing and his son to visit the third uncle, if the relatives did not move around, it was inevitable that there would be strangeness.
When he is older, he will always recall the past when he went to Hangzhou at the third uncle's house, and the second uncle often went to Hangzhou in the past, and most of them also lived in the third uncle's house.
Ye Jing has been to the Ye family in Hangzhou several times, so he is familiar with the road, the city in this era has not changed much, it was like this here ten years ago, and it will be about the same ten years later.
Ye Chunqiu followed behind Ye Jing like a little fart, looking at the street scenes along the way, compared with Ningbo, Hangzhou has less Ningbo's philistines, and in the midst of prosperity, there are a few more different temperaments, listening to Wu Zhong's soft words in his ears, as if they can't be dissolved, a little greasy.
The streets are much cleaner, especially the readers, there are countless, the wine flags along the way are not as Ningbo Restaurant as they have to stretch out, as if they are afraid that others will not know that they sell wine, but most of the signboards are not conspicuous, but there is no deliberate decoration at the door, but even the door to do business seems to have a different charm.
Halfway through, Ye Jing bought a sugar gourd and stuffed it to Ye Chunqiu: "Spring and autumn, eat." ” Ye Chunqiu took the sugar gourd, well, he was almost thirteen years old, as if he was still a half-old child, although he was almost about to marry a wife in this era, but he should love to eat sugar gourds, so he put a gourd in his mouth, and it was surprisingly sweet.
After walking half a pillar of incense kung fu, he finally stopped at a Zhuangzi on the outskirts of the city, this Zhuangzi is not small, and leans on the outskirts of the city, the outer head of the door is threefold, and the book accumulates the four characters of the good people, and then goes inside, it is the gatehouse, Ye Jing looked at this Zhuangzi with some emotion, and said to Ye Chunqiu: "I haven't been here for my father for seventeen or eighteen years, and I almost don't know the road at all, and you will see the third uncle and your uncles later, remember to be obedient, do you know?"
Ye Chunqiu said with an innocent look: "Dad, I have always been very well-behaved. ” Ye Jing's jaw said: "Your eldest father values this family very much, at the beginning, it was more than 20 years ago, he came to Hangzhou to catch the exam, he wanted to fetch water near the patio, and fell into the well, it was your third uncle who rescued him, the third uncle is not only your father's brother, but also his savior." ” Ye Chunqiu didn't know why, his father suddenly said such things here, he was not just a simple teenager, he always felt that there was something else.
When Ye Jing stepped forward, he knocked on the door, and a door opened the door, Ye Jing reported the door, and the door smiled and said, "Oh, it turned out to be Master Ye from Hexi, come in." ” Let Ye Chunqiu and his son go in, but the door did not go to report, but called another person, the man nodded, and led Ye Jing and his son to settle down, it covers a large area, the houses are continuous, all of them are blue bricks and red tiles, and it is located in the suburbs of Hangzhou, which looks very magnificent, and even the servants here are all uniform navy blue clothes, which are different from the long-term workers of the Ye family in Hexi.
They settled Ye Jing's father and son in a guest room, which was quite clean and chic, but Ye Chunqiu was a little suspicious, because this was not a back house, and it stands to reason that he was also their relative, so he should live in the back house.
Of course, people may have some taboos, but since they came to visit, shouldn't the etiquette be to meet first, greet everyone a few words, and then settle down.
However, Ye Jing was quite calm, and went outside to boil water by himself, so that Ye Chunqiu could take off his shoes and take a break.
Ye Chunqiu roughly guessed something in his heart, but said deliberately: "Dad, why can't you see the third uncle." ” "Your third uncle is old, you can see you wherever you can say."
Ye Jing scooped out the boiling water with a gourd and said with a smile.
Ye Chunqiu pressed step by step: "But even if the third uncle is inconvenient to meet the guests, the uncle and uncle here should always come to see him."
If we don't go to visit, won't we break the rules, and my father often teaches Spring and Autumn to be knowledgeable."
Ye Jing avoided Ye Chunqiu's gaze: "Well, they may be busy, in short, let's settle down first, and when we come here, it's just like our own family, and the uncles are all very good." ” Hell with it.
Ye Chunqiu obviously felt Ye Jing's abnormality, so he didn't ask much, if he came, he was safe, he was here to test people, and the exam was the most important.
However, although the township examination is held in the beginning of spring, the examiner needs to determine the examination date, and now we have to wait for the news from the Gongyuan, so there is no need to rush for the time being.
Ye Chunqiu was a little tired, so he simply fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already late, and it was dim outside, but Ye Jing came in with food at this time, and said with a smile: "Chunqiu, be hungry, eat." ” Ye Chunqiu got up with his shoes and stretched his waist, even more strange: "When the relatives came, they let us take care of our own meals, Dad, I have read so many books, I have never seen anything like this." ” "Ah, they are busy, your clan uncle is also going to take the exam now, and your clan uncle is busy with business outside.
Your third uncle was born as a child, and he was the chief bookkeeper of his own county, but later he felt that it was not interesting, so he simply went back to Hangzhou to live, Spring and Autumn, you wash your hands. ” Ye Jing's explanation is very far-fetched.
But Ye Chunqiu has to accept it if he doesn't accept it, who makes himself a child After he cleaned his hands, the father and son sat opposite each other, each pulling rice, vegetables, it is reasonable, three dishes and one soup, if it is an ordinary hospitality, it is reasonable, but the third uncle is so rich It's better not to complain, it's important to eat.
Ye Chunqiu barely ate half full, so he began to read under the supervision of his father, although he was holding the book in his hand, he was absent-mindedly searching for some information related to the Four Books and the Five Classics with his light brain, which was almost a necessary homework for him when he was in his spare time.
When he was almost done, he got up and said, "I'm going to practice calligraphy." ” Ye Jing looked at the book on the side, he was already fascinated, there are very few people who can take reading as a hobby, Ye Chunqiu looked at his father distressedly, and felt that this old man was strange and pitiful, but after thinking about it carefully, his father was enjoying himself, and he could get spiritual satisfaction from reading, and I thought that reading was like sitting on pins and needles, which was pitiful, so I couldn't help but feel sorry for myself.
It's been ten shifts again, and now I'm tired of being a dog, and I don't have the strength to say more, and a thousand words are combined into three words: "Ask for a monthly ticket" aa2705221:
