Chapter 216 Heartbroken
The family left the Dongze Forest and reached the road down the mountain. They released the donkey cart. On the way, the poor donkey was already exhausted, but fortunately it was not far from home. Brother Monkey fed the donkey some spiritual energy from the secret realm. After drinking some grass and water, the donkey became energetic.
It is not easy to go home empty-handed, and the food obtained in the secret realm is also used daily. The couple has to take some of it to the capital, and now they have to bring it over. Minglu, there is storage space for their two children. If you can't let people know about it, then don't let people know about it.
The common man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying the jade.
No matter how strong your child is, he can avoid some troubles if he can.
When the whole family arrived at the door with their bags packed, Brother Monkey knocked on the door.
From time to time, Gong Yuqiong came to open the door. When he saw the returning family, he was so happy: "I'm back."
The First Emperor asked him about the situation at home.
It was nothing special, except that Linjiang County Master Li came here with his young master. Seeing that they were not at home, he went to the experimental field for a walk, and returned to the county seat without staying any longer.
The crops in the experimental fields are growing well, and the villagers who look after the fields are doing their best.
Lingzhou also often came to visit Gong Yuqiong, fearing that he was a stranger and not familiar with the villagers, and no one would help him if he encountered any difficulties.
Gong Yuqiong praised Lingzhou: "The eldest young master is a very considerate person. He comes over every few days to check on me. He is afraid that I, a grown man, will not be able to live well, so he always brings some food. The Zuo family next door also I often bring some food over. I usually go to see the fields, and the villagers are very polite."
The eldest young master can just pay it back, it's his own family, but he has to let the master's family know about the Zuo family's favor.
"In addition, the old lady is in good health. Sometimes I can meet old people when I go to the fields to see our fields. Everything is fine at home and there is nothing wrong."
While Gong Yuqiong was talking, he helped transport the things unloaded from the donkey cart to his home.
After entering the house and putting away their things in the utility room, Gong Yuqiong went to fetch water for them to wash up, but Brother Hou stopped him: "Uncle Yujing, I'll just go. You can talk to your parents."
"My Healing Game"
The third courtyard of the house is not accessible to Uncle Yujing. The doors and windows are all closed properly. Uncle Yujing has kept other places such as the main hall and study room clean.
The sisters first went to help clean their parents' bedroom and living room, and then went to clean up their own houses.
As for the two brothers' rooms, they can clean them themselves.
It is said to be tidying up, but in fact it is simple. A matter of dust cleaning is just to replace the quilts and mattresses in the house with clean ones.
In front of Uncle Yujing, there was no need to hide that they were monks.
After washing up, Gong Yuqiong asked the couple to rest first. He was going to prepare dinner. Lingsu smiled and said: "We are back, why do we need you to prepare? My second brother and I can just come. Uncle Yujing, you are here Life is hard at home.”
Gong Yuqiong had no choice but to give up: "What's the hard work? It's just cleaning the courtyard. I'm also afraid that you children will be tired along the way. Anyway, my little cooking skills can only make a living. I'm afraid that my uncle and aunt will be tired." I can’t eat it.”
The meals cooked by the young master and the third young lady at home every day are as good as the delicacies in the best restaurants in the capital. Gong Yuqiong is very self-aware.
But I felt very apologetic in my heart, feeling that there was almost nothing I could do in this family.
I also feel sorry for the young masters and young ladies. Those young masters and girls in the capital, as long as their families have some wealth, who doesn’t have food to eat and clothes to eat? But my young master and young lady can do almost anything, and they are so skillful that it makes people feel heartbroken.
If I hadn't been used to doing this since I was a child, how could I be so skilled?
He didn't know what his uncle and aunt were thinking. It was not like the family was short of money. He thought that this family had a very strong foundation. Although it looked like they were just from the countryside, and my uncle's ancestor was just a junior official in the Imperial Academy in the capital, but the family had a lot of money. Compared with the wealthy families in the capital, everything is good. How can they not afford a house or two for servants?
I heard that there is a lot of business in the clan, and everyone in the family is involved, so there is no shortage of income.
But as a servant, even if he and his aunt have been friends since childhood, it's hard for him to talk about it.
Maybe my uncle and his wife have their own considerations.
Dinner was prepared quickly. The family ate dinner first. Father Long and Mei Niang went to read a book, while the five brothers and sisters went to prepare gifts for the old house.
After all, I was nominally visiting friends out of town, so I couldn’t come back without bringing some specialties.
They didn't really go out of town for specialties or anything like that, but they could give away some things from the secret realm.
Such as dried mushrooms, some fruits with very weak spiritual energy, dried fish and shrimps, lotus seeds and gorgon seeds, jam, purple jade rat pickled meat, general earthen rituals, in fact, they are just some food, which are for the elders.
I also prepared a copy for the Zuo family.
In addition, there were some for the brothers. Qixun picked some from his collection in his previous life, such as wooden pen holders and pen holders, glass tea sets and so on.
Early the next morning, the First Emperor took his family to the old house and distributed things to both sides. The whole family gathered around to talk for a while and then dispersed, leaving only the First Emperor to accompany the old man.
Gong Yumingxi was dragged away to chat with his sister-in-law, while the Qixun brothers and sisters went to distribute gifts to their cousins.
Although the wooden pen holder and pen holder are exquisite, they are not extraordinary, but the glass tea sets and knick-knacks made a few older cousins extremely happy.
Although Lingzhou was happy, he still said: "It's okay to bring some small things back. You are really willing to spend money on something as valuable as colored glaze. Don't waste it like this in the future. We have to use this wherever we go." thing?"
Fusu smiled and said: "It was a coincidence. It didn't cost much money. It was given as a gift. The glass for our doors and windows is from this company. You can just use it with peace of mind. This thing is expensive now, but in the future If it’s too much, it won’t be valuable anymore.”
Lingzhou didn't ask any more questions.
Hao Di is a monk, so it's not surprising that someone would give him something.
He didn't know that the glass crafting technology was actually provided by Qixun.
Brother Monkey said from the side: "After installing glass on the doors and windows at home, there is a lot leftover. I originally said that it would be installed in the old lady's house and the room where you study. But I have been busy before and I won't have time in the future. I was thinking about summer again. It doesn't matter whether I install glass windows or not. I just have to install them before the weather gets cold. Now that I'm back, I have plenty of time. I will move the glass here tomorrow and install it first in the old man's house. "
Lingzhou hurriedly said: "It's enough to install it in the old man's house, but we don't need it. If you say it won't be valuable in the future, then it's expensive now and non-rich families can't afford it. It would be too wasteful to give it to us. Keep it, say no. You will be able to use it someday."
Brother Hou waved his hand: "If necessary, I can just write to Xin Ruoxia and ask for it. This thing is produced by their family. Can he still accept my money?"
